Wie geht's?

Hello, my friend;
It's been a while since I last wrote you. I apologize. It's been hectic
around here being almost Christmas and all. The holidays are always too busy and no
matter what you do there never seems to be enough time.
I've been thinking a lot about you lately, I don't know if it is
because of the holiday's or because it's almost the anniversary of the day we lost you. It's strange, you know. That whole 'till death do you part' thing. It seems that you just couldn't live with out her.
Sally died first. So suddenly. Not even in the blink of an eye. One
moment she was cradling your new born daughter. The next she was gone. The doctors did all they could but she just seemed to drift away.
You died then, the same moment she did. Only, your body lingered. The
empty shell I held when it took its last breath wasn't you. It was too empty, too
lifeless.
The rise and fall of your chest were the only indication that your
heart was still beating.Twelve hours you lingered before finally letting go. I held you then when you passed.
You and Sally were buried side by side in the same plot, together.
'Forever in death, the same as in life.' That's what Heero had carved on your headstone. Did you know that?
Don't fear for Mei-rei [1], we care for her now. She wanted me to tell
you that she loves you both. We've told her all we can about you. When she's old enough to under stand we'll tell her everything. She keeps a copy of your wedding picture next to her bed and says good- night to you every day. (But I'm sure you already knew that.)
Mei-rei looks a lot like you, both of you. She has Sally's eyes and
your hair. It's a shame that you never got to meet her, Your daughter has grown into a very beautiful child.
We have a son now, his name is Gideion. He was conceived with the help
of that M-Utatek implant device ™ [2]. It took with Heero, but for some reason
it didn't take with me, dunno why. (I know you are laughing up there,
at the idea of Heero being pregnant.) Aside from Heero barfing every few
minutes and having back aches from day one, the pregnancy went well.
Mei-rei treats Giddy like a sibling and they get along very well,
there's no real rivalry between them at all. Though he never says it, I'm sure Heero misses you. He sees you when he looks at Mei-rei, his eyes seem so sadden a bit,
But then he smiles at her, I mean he actually smiles. I can tell he loves her very much.
You know, I think I've been having a bad influence on her. Some of the
pranks she can pull put even my antics to shame. She's so smart, she
does things you would never expect from a seven year old.
Gods, has it really been seven years. It seems like just yesterday,
sometimes. Like we're still fifteen and sitting around in a safe house
somewhere, freezing our asses off, wishing we had coffee.
Quatre and Trowa gave you a visit yesterday. Kat called early last
night, all sniffly. He still has a hard time copeing with the loss and only
visit's you once a year. He told
Mei-rei that wedding story about you and Sally, you know the one about
the cake. She giggled. It made Quatre feel better. Cathy saw you too,
recently. She left flowers. Sally likes lilies, right?
Well, I gotta go. Heero's expecting again and if I don't rub his back,
neither one of us are going to get any sleep.
I'll give Mei-rei a kiss for you both when I tuck her in. Giddy wanted
me to tell you 'hullo' so before I forget. Hullo. smirk
Rest well, both of you.
Until we meet again.

[1] Mei-rei is pronounced My-Lee [2] the M-Utatek implant device is a man made organic uterus that enables men to not only conceive, but carry to full term and 'naturally' deliver children. ( this is mine, you want to use it let me know and I'll give you full details on how it works. theoretically)
Shrugs what can I say? this fic didn't turn out the way I expected.
What do you think?
