Hey guys, Fluffy the Stork here. So here's my first story on Heero and Relena's post war life. I have an idea where to go for a few other chapters, though I'm open to any suggestions or things of the such. Please do leave your flames in the review section! If you don't want to flame, then feel free to leave whatever kind of review you have in mind. And also uh... WARNING! Fluff and possible OOC.
Heero Yuy was in possibly the last situation he could ever imagine himself in. He was conditioned and prepared for any situation of war, built to be the perfect soldier. Now he was in waiting next to his wife and doing his best to offer his support for her. He still remembered his mentor's words he had long done everything he could to live by. "Live by your emotions." This was the only way to live a good life. There was something within Heero's emotions that made him feel he would be able to at last find peace of some kind being at the side of Relena Peacecraft. Still dressed in his traditional guard outfit, Heero was going to remind Relena that even if she wasn't meeting within the ESUN meetings, she was still under his wing of protection. Even in the comfort of Peacecraft Mansion, Heero did not want to take any chances of seeing his wife in danger.
Heero was doing his best to be a husband as he was taught after four years after being with Relena. It began as an affair between a politician and her guardsmen, and then became a known relationship when both she and Heero at the age of twenty had become husband and wife. He had very little idea of how to handle his new position as Relena's husband and was cuddling next to her. He had his left arm around her as they sat on the couch facing the sunlight and lightly rubbing her six month baby bump bulging its way through Relena's night dress. Having been with her for even as short as this long, Heero could tell that she enjoyed this kind of attention while she continued to be stuck in maternity leave.
Relena was taking a slight nap before but awoke to gaze up to her husband's face as she did her best to awaken from the sleep last night. More than content and happy to be where she was, Relena continued to enjoy the comfort of Heero. He was significantly growing in height and the most obvious difference to his appearance being his once messy hair being swept back into a ponytail. Being the husband of a politician, he had to be made presentable to the public on some level. She could only imagine him to become more of a pleasure to view as the years began to add to him.
Almost what seemed to be usual spur of the moment like what many women could be known for, Relena asked him, "Heero, do you think you'll be able to handle taking care of our child?"
Heero answered her, "I'm certain I will. She'll grow up to be just as great of a woman as her mother."
Relena cocked her eyebrow slightly and asked, "You're certain it's a girl Heero?"
Heero told her, "I just have a feeling it is."
Relena decided to bring up another topic and ask, "If that's the case, maybe you should think of a name for her… You do have a name for her right?"
Heero was slightly taken aback by this notion, but did not show that he was defeated by his wife just yet. He asked for her confirmation, "You would like me to name her?"
Relena playfully pointed her finger at him and warned, "You can either help me name her or I'll have the final say no matter what!"
Heero tried to assure her, "I won't rule out anything you want for her..."
Not letting the challenge pass by, Relena demanded, "At least let me be able to start somewhere!"
Heero sighed and laid his head back on the top of the sofa. He had little idea of what to name his baby girl and when asked before just said he would allow Relena to handle the matter. Now it was time for him to take on the subject himself and find a name. He would be able to handle her being displeased with him, but it would be another thing to sit for hours on end about how he didn't care about her. He would know after their first date.
Closing his eyes and sighing slightly as he probed his own mind searching for a possible name, he continued to ask this question to himself and after a good thirty seconds at last had an answer Relena could hopefully accept. "Selena. Would that be an acceptable name?"
Much to his relief and to his happiness, Relena answered, "That's so nice Heero. I like the sound of that name. What made you think of that one?"
Heero shrugged and answered, "I just like the sound of the name. I can just imagine she would grow to look like a perfect girl for her name."
Relena informed him, "If you really think so then you had better be ready to take care of another human. This will be a different life from now on, you certainly aren't going to be killing anymore people."
In response, Heero moved her head to face him and looked at her with the same vigor and dedication that she had seen in him in their youth. He assured in the same voice from the gaze of his face, "If anyone or anything comes to harm my child, I'll make sure they pay for it. I don't want anyone to ever come to harm you again. To you or to my child."
Relena had come to know this demand very quickly after five years, it was his way of assurance that no one would even think of trying to see his new family come to harm. She did the only thing that truly worked for her and cuddled her head underneath Heero's chin. Letting out a light sigh of content, she told Heero, "You do that Mr. Perfect Soldier. No training out children to become soldiers however. Do you understand?"
Heero agreed, "Of course hon. I'll make sure that I'm the last soldier in our family." It was a phrase that no one could have expected Heero to say before, but Relena was just able to change him that much. He was not a machine man with a machine heart, he was a human being that needed to be taken out of the warzone and into the peaceful gentle world that was born. The one brought about by the efforts of he, the other Gundam pilots, and general cooperation of the people of Earth towards world peace. Now at her side, Heero was shown to be every bit as human as Relena had long believed him to be.
Just about as soon as he was finished, explaining to her, Relena asked, "That's great. Can you make me breakfast now?"
Heero stood up and smiled at her saying, "Of course."
