What do you do when your mother's best friend leaves you with your father?
What do you do when your father hates your mother for not telling him about you?
What do you do when the person who's suppose to be your role-model doesn't want you around?
This is what Odin Lowe Yuy asks himself everytime his father ignores him.
His uncles cared for him because his mother had always been the one to keep them all together.
Now they were all torn apart because of him.
Rei knocked on the door of Quatre Winner's mansion, her best friend's, brother's home. Odin looked up at his aunt. "Auntie Rei, why am I coming here to stay with Uncle Quatre and my daddy, Heero?"
"The girls and I need to go pick up your mother in Tokyo because she's lost her ticket to come home."
"Okay." Odin replied seeing his Uncle Quatre. His mother had brought him here for his first Christmas. None of the others had been there except Dorothy Catalonia. Dorothy and Quatre were engaged to be married the following year. Odin smiled and jumped into his Uncle Quatre's arms.
"Quatre, I know this is a lot, but..."
"I know, Rei. Heero isn't back yet, but I'm sure he will love Odin."
"Thanks, Quatre."
THREE WEEKS LATER
Odin had had no contact with his mother what so ever for the past three weeks. It was starting to make him worry. Heero, the man who was suppose to be his father, was completely ignoring him. Like yesterday:
Flashback
Odin was sitting in the garden, minding his own business until his father came up. "Hey, Dad." He said lightly and walked over to him. Heero looked at him with distant eyes, remembering the first time he had slept with the young child's mother. He quickly shook his head and walked away. It wasn't worth it to get involved. Rei would soon be coming back to get him. He had even asked her where Odin's mother was. 'Like you deserve to know. Breaking her heart by telling her you never wanted to get married and have kids. Pathetic.'
End Flashback
Odin laid back down in his bed. His Aunt Dorothy came in and found him like that. "Odin, what's wrong?" She asked sitting down on the bed.
"I'm worried about my mommy. Daddy doesn't want to be near me." The little boy replied. Dorothy knew he was smart for his age. Hell, his father was smart at age fifteen. Heero had known way too much about things that even a normal twenty-five year-old didn't even know.
"Odin, he's scared to get to know you because he feels that your mother or Rei is going to come back here and take you away."
"Auntie Rei said she isn't going to come and get me. She's going to let mommy get up the courage once she gets back from Tokyo."
"Odin, do you know why she's letting your mother come to get you?"
"No." Odin replied, sitting up and clutching an old stuffed animal.
"Where did you get that?" Dorothy asked quickly avoiding the question she knew would follow the no he had given her.
"Mommy gave it to me for Christmas. She said it was Daddy's."
"It was. You know how I know?" She asked and Odin shook his head no. "Dr.J, the man who trained your father to be a gundam pilot, gave him that. It was in the fire that destroyed the building your father and his mommy and daddy were living in. It was the only thing that survived the fire, besides your father. Dr. J allowed him to keep it."
"So this is all Daddy had left of grammie and granddaddy?"
"Yes, sweetie."
Odin got up off the bed and ran down the hall to the training room. His father was normally there about eight o'clock every morning. Odin went in and found his father laying down in the middle of the mat. He tip-toed over and sat down next to him holding the stuffed tiger. The poor thing had been dragged around so much, his Auntie Lita had to re-sew some of the stitches in the stuffed animal's arms.
"Daddy... Um... Mommy gave me this last Christmas and told me it was yours. Auntie Dorothy just got done telling me about how you got it. And I... I want to give it back to you. Here." Odin said handing Heero the tiger.
Heero smiled a true smile and calmly picked the boy up. Odin was crying by now. He loved that stuffed animal, but he also knew that it was the last thing his father had of his parents. "How about you keep it?" Heero said pressing the stuffed animal into his son's hands.
"No." The little boy whispered. Heero kissed the top of his son's head.
"Yes. Don't make me put you in a time out." Heero said laughing. Odin smiled and started laughing with his father.
Heero smiled at his son. How could he have helped create this little boy? His third birthday's coming up. Can't wait to give him something his mother will freak out about. Heero picked his son up and laughed. "Can we go get ice cream, Daddy?"
"Sure, Odin."
Odin had stared out the window and found that they were taking the same route Serena had told him that his father had take her on their first date. It was a funny story that she had even laughed through. She had first met Heero because of her brother and found him to be a pain in the butt. She then accused him of not being able to be romantic, which Heero set out to show her he could and would be. She had been proven wrong for once. His mother had told him every detail.
Fade to Odin's mother's first date with Heero
Heero pulled her up the hill. "Heero, hurry up. My legs hurt." Heero picked her up bridal style and carried her to the spot. Placing her back on her feet, Heero took the blindfold off. She gasped as she looked around. The picnic was set under the stars. There was a crescent moon out, too, making her hair seem like moonbeams. Heero smiled at her and then held her close.
"So, do you like it?" He asked, kissing her shoulder.
"Yes...It's gorgeous. Thank you." She answered answered, turning around and kissing him.
Heero tucked the little boy into his bed. "Does your mother read you bedtime stories?"
"No, not really."
"Then what did she do?"
"She used to sing me the song you'd sing to her when she was sick." Odin replied hugging the tiger to his body tightly.
"Maybe some other time, Odin. Is there anything else she used to do to help you fall asleep?"
"Yeah, she'd tell me a story about you, but she never really got into many details."Odin replied gripping the tiger even tighter.
"How about a story about the Moon Kingdom?"
"Which one?" Odin asked looking up at his dad. He had heard most of them from his mother when he was only a few months old. He loved being Heero Yuy's son otherwise he wouldn't be as smart and as far along as most children his age.
Heero began to think. Which one would she have said would be best?
Flashback
"Heero, what do you think about this?" She asked from her place on the bed. It was a king sized canopy bed with green drapes. They were staying at her grandfather's home in Manchester, New York. Heero pulled the printed copy from the printer and skimed the page.
"Pretty good." He said and kissed her forehead.
"Really?" She asked staring up at him. Heero nodded and she placed her laptop on the bed. "We're going to be late for the party. I'll finish it when we get back." Heero smiled and placed the sheet down in a binder labled Moon Kingdom. It was visable for anyone to see.
(T.V. Camera P.O.V. fades from flashback into the present as Heero recites the words from the page.)
"Once upon a time, there was a kingdom now long forgotten by the races of men. In this kingdom, there was a lonely princess named Serenity Usagi Tsukino. Serenity, unlike the queens before her, had disobeyed her mother and returned to Earth with the man she was betrothed to. His name was Aires. He was the son of the god, Aires, and the eldest Princess of Earth, Cassandra. Since his mother was human, Aires was a demi-god as was Serenity. When they were children, they had become close, but there was another prince that wanted to marry Serenity. His name was Prince Endymion. Prince Endymion was Aires's younger by five months, but had inherited Elysian and the Golden Crystal. The reason for this was because Lady Cassandra had married Aires against her parents' wishes and was disowned. She died giving birth to Aires's son which was named after him.
"When Aires turned nine, he decided he would leave the Moon Kingdom and live with his father and all of the other Gods and Goddesses on Mount Olympus. Princess Serenity believed he did not care for her anymore and decided that it would be best if he left than lead her on any longer. The real reason was that Endymion had forced Serenity to kiss him when he knew Aires was just around the corner. Aires thought that Serenity had chosen Endymion over himself causing him to have a broken heart. And as all Gods, Goddesses, Demi-Gods, and the Royalty in the Moon Kingdom's reign knew that the only way to mend a broken heart was to go and live on Mount Olympus for ten years and then return. Aires did so and after his ten years were up he returned. He figured that Serenity had already married Endymion and had bore his children. Serenity's younger sister, Eiko, Princess of the Moon Kingdom and Cosmos had never married for her lover had died during a battle to protect the Moon Kingdom.
"When Aires arrived in the Moon Kingdom, he was surprised to find that his hopeful thoughts were not so and that Serenity had refused to marry until he returned. One day, he found Serenity sitting in the palace's garden with her pet white Siberian tiger, White Blaze. He knew it was wrong to look upon her. Even if she had known he was standing there, would she forgive him for eavesdropping on Endymion and her when they had been sharing a romantic moment? Aires managed to gather up the courage and approached Serenity. 'My Lady,' he said. 'Would you mind if I had a word with you?' Serenity, only just managing to remember the looks of her childhood friend, jumped up and hugged him tightly. 'My friend, I'm glad you are here. There is something I would like to ask you.' Aires knew that it must have been something major or she wouldn't have jumped up and hugged him as she did.
"'Aires, my friend and companion, I must ask you why you left with your father upon his return to Mount Olympus. I felt as if you didn't care for me and believed you needed not to lead me on only to break my heart.' Serenity said taking his hand in her own. The aroma of the roses filled the air and Aires plucked one of the red ones from its place. He gave it to Serenity. It was a secret sign they both knew the meaning of. Aires would always give her a red rose when he was about to apologize. 'What must you apologize for, my love? If it is for leaving, I've already forgiven you.' Serenity spoke squeezing his hand gently. 'I must apologize, my princess for eavesdropping on Endymion and yourself. It was accidental. I was coming to meet you here, as you asked, then found you both sharing an intimate moment.' Aires said turning his face away. Serenity smiled and turned his face so she could see his eyes. 'That was a forced kiss upon which you saw me under. I was so busy trying to get him off that I forgot how tired I was. I had to give into him and his demands. It is I who should be asking your forgiveness, not the other way around.'
"Aires ignored her words and found himself walking away with her in his arms at a brisk pace. He managed to make it to the throne room where he asked Queen Selenity for Serenity's hand in marriage. He was given it, but Serenity could not wait for the date her mother set. She asked for permission to see where her new home would be. Once there, Aires and she married. Serenity became pregnant and it was a difficult time for the kingdom. The crops were so large that there were not enough workers to get them in. Serenity, even though she was close to the day she would give birth, worked in the fields along with Aires. Her cousins Apollo, Zeus, and Hades, who were all named after their fathers, showed up. They were to bring Serenity and Aires back for their impending wedding. Apollo, upon seeing his beloved cousin working in the fields, believed that Aires had impregnated her and then treated her as a slave. Apollo failed the first time he tried to get her back to the kingdom. The second time he captured her and took her back
"Aires became angered, but Queen Selenity knew the truth for her brother, Coronus, had informed her. Apollo had killed the child, and once Aires found out, he sent an army to Venus. All the different royalties lived on each planet. The army was only stopped by Princess Serenity. She was now the Queen of the Moon Kingdom. Her mother had been on her death bed when Selenity had found out that her elder sister's ( Aphrodite) son had taken Serenity away from her betrothed. Serenity, by her mother's orders, had banished her cousin from the universe. Apollo died alone and without his wife, Mars, and his daughters. Serenity and Aires were married in the Lunarian tradition and lived on to rule the Moon Kingdom. They had lots of children and many, many grandchildren. Their lives played out until Beryl destroyed the kingdom. Serenity died in battle after she saw Aires laying on the ground dead. Serenity used the last of her energy to save all of her court and herself. She sent them all to the future where they lived normal lives and lived in harmony. The End."
Odin was asleep. Heero smiled at his son and tucked him in gently. He shut off the lap on the nightstand and closed the door. There was a small power ranger nightlight in one of the corners of Odin's bedroom. Heero made it back to his room and fell to the bed. He loved having a son. It made him feel so good. Heero went over to his laptop and checked his messages. None from Dr.J or anyone else. Everything was fine. Everything was serene, calm, and, dare he say it, perfect. He now wished he had never changed the color of the walls in his room from sky blue to black.
