Thoughts

Chapter One

It has been eight years since the start of the first war. We, the gundam pilots, are now between the ages of 25 to 23, Trowa being the oldest and me being the youngest of our little group.

Heero is Relena's personal bodyguard and well personal everything else. He proposed about seven months ago and the wedding plans are coming along wonderfully. The wedding will be held in just over three months from now. I am the best man and Dorothy is the maid of honor. Speaking of Dorothy, she and Quatre are engaged to be married. Though the two have decided on a long engagement for a few reasons; one being not to still the lime light from Lena and Heero and Quatre is still trying to get a handle on the family business. I guess it was a big mess when his sisters handed it over to him. I'm really surprised that he had enough time to court Dorothy. He actually referred to their dating as courting, I laughed for a good ten minutes.

As for the rest of us? Let me see, the good Doctor Po married her wife, Anne Une and they are expecting their second child, a little girl. I believe her name will be Hannah. Their oldest is a three year girl Melody. Trowa is Quatre's personal bodyguard and head of security while occasionally doing the odd Preventers job that needed his special expertise. Wufei is a special agent with Preventers, doing all of the jobs that would make most people shudder much to the dismay of his girlfriend, Astrid. As for me, I was right there with him jumping into the fray. Something I'm hoping to change as of today.

Right now I am sitting in Commander Anne Une's office having this very debate.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"And there is nothing I can do to change your mind?"

"No, my mind is made up."

Anne sighed, "very well, though Specials is going to miss having you around."

"You make it sound as if I am leaving Preventers altogether. I'm just transferring into training. You know, just as well as I do that we need better trainers. The kids coming in today are just not hacking it."

"Can't argue with you there, have you told Chang?"

"Yes, he is aware of my decision and the reasons behind it."

"Very well Maxwell I will have it all taken care by the end of the day."

"Thank you Anne." Duo rose from his seat and turned towards the door and then turned back around releasing a small puff of breath, "can you please not mention this to anyone else. I mean Wufei knows and you, that is all and I would like to keep it that way…for now." He once again turned toward the door. Just as he was about leave Une's office her voice rang out to him.

"You will make a great father."

He closed the door with a small smile on his face. God, I hope so.

That was the point of all of this after all. He transferred into a less hazardous department of Preventers that has a pretty set schedule. He would not have to work over night or excruciating long hours. He recently moved into a three bedroom house with the help of his best friend, Wufei, and Astrid, Wufei's girlfriend. Yes, he would lose out on the hazardous pay he would normally receive for missions, but he will be receiving additional premiums for all of his expertise to his trainer base pay. All in all his income would even out. A house, a safe and steady job, decent pay, and a clean bill of health physically and mentally all leads to his ultimate goal of adopting.
