Destiny

Chapter one: A choice and an ending.
Relena Darlian had come to a final and hard decision. She had to give up on the only love she had had on anyone other than family. This was Heero. She had loved him, but as far as she knew he didn't feel the same. She decided she couldn't wait around any longer. She must have children, she felt the woman in her crying out. It had been five years since the earth and the colonies merged and not once had she and Heero talked of marriage or anything close to a relationship. She had dreamed about it for so long and now she knew that part of her life was over. She had responsibilities. She was a woman. She needed a companion that would be there always. Heero wasn't this person. She wept the night she came to this conclusion. She didn't know how she would live through it, but she would just as she had all the other times of her life. She didn't know how she could just forget about these feelings she had for this man for so long. She would have to leave. She wouldn't be able to see him until these feelings passed and new ones came for another man on another day, but at that moment it seemed so unimaginable not having Heero in her life. She would have to talk to Quatre about this. He would tell Trowa and those two would devise a plan on how to tell Duo. Those three could and would keep Heero away and if they couldn't she would leave. Her whole life seemed in shambles. She clung to her pillow in her bed as she cried into it. She knew tomorrow she would call Quatre in and tell him how she felt. He would understand. He was the love of the Gundam pilots and like a brother. He had protected her in the understanding that she had greater possibilities then being princess of the Sank kingdom. She trusted him, if no one else. She whimpered one last time before sleep overtook her tired body.
Quatre entered Relena's tearoom at noon. She sat there waiting. She looked as regal as ever. She no longer wore the school girl outfit but a beautiful blue dress. Blue was her favorite color after all. Her hair was completely up in a bun tied with a ribbon to match. When she saw him she stood up. He smiled and walked in. as he neared her he got a good look at her face. Her eyes were red and her cheeks stained with tears.
"Relena, what is the matter?" he asked distressed.
"Sit please," she said calmly. He did so and she followed. A servant walked in with a tray with all the tea essentials on it. The girl sat it on the table between Relena and Quatre then left. Relena pored the tea into two cups. She put one lump of sugar into hers and two into Quatre's just as he liked it and handed it to him. She leaned back in her chair with her cup and took a sip. She moved the cup away from her face and began to explain.
"Quatre, I need to ask a favor of you. As you know I have had feelings for Heero for a very long time." Quatre nodded uneasily and shifted in his chair. "I have come now to realize that these feelings are not mutual. I want to ease and eventually end these feelings I have for him. How I can and will be able to do this is if I don't see him for a long time and meet someone new. I have to have children Quatre. Do you understand?" she had been looking down at her tea until then, but she looked up at him for his answer.
"Yes Relena, I understand, but don't you think if you waited a little longer that..."
"No, I can't any longer. I want love, I need love and that's not something I'm going to get from Heero. I have excepted this and as you can see mourned over this. My conclusion is complete and final. I need you to keep Heero away from me and if that is not possible I will keep away from him."
"Heero's not really a man you can tell who to see and who not to see, Relena. You know that."
"Yes and that is why I am giving this job to you. If you need help you are more than welcomed to turn to Trowa or Duo, but don't ever let Heero know about how I feel. I'm afraid he would confront me and that may, for the first time in my life, destroy me."
"In that case, I will do everything I can, but you do know that Heero is coming with Duo and all the other Gundam pilots next week."
"Then I leave you in charge. I will be taking a holiday for that week. You may throw a ball for them if you see fit. Any thing you want." Relena closed her eyes and a tear rolled down her cheek. "This is something I must do, Quatre. I thank you for this. You are a dear, dear friend." She opened her eyes. Quatre's eyes were filled with hurt and love.
"You are a strong woman Relena. I will do as you ask and hope that all turns out how you want."
"If it had turned out how I wanted. I would be a married woman Quatre."
