Note: All right Gundam Wing storym numero dos! (Yuck, I have a spanish test tomorrow, can't you tell?) Anways, Heero is a little OOC (okay so he may be a lot, but I guess having a kid will do that to you...) and so are some other people, but I promise, it isn't going to be so bad that you'll be screaming at me for doing so. Please R/R

A man in a dark blue shirt opened the car door, shutting it just in time to see a boy coming flying out of the house with his suitcase in one hand, and a small figurine in another.
"Papa! Papa! Look what Uncle Duo gave me!" The little brown-haired boy paused flashing a miniature model of Death Scythe Hell to his father. He leaned in closer to his father, "And guess what he told me?"
"What did he tell you, kiddo?"
"That Death Scythe Hell was better then Wing Zero!" The little boy couldn't understand why his father was looking angry.
"And what did you say to him when he said that, Adin?"
"I told him he was a liar! Then Ayame and I took our models and fought, and guess what papa?"
"What Adin?"
"She *WON*!" Then he added, "But not before I blew her up too!" The father sweatdropped.
"Oi, Heero!" A voice called from the steps of the house.
"Hello Duo, still trying to convince my son that your Gundam was better then mine?" Heero said in his usual tone of voice.
Duo blinked innocently as his daughter, who was the same age as Adin, burst from the house. "ADIN! You forgot your bear!" She threw it to him, and Adin barely managed to catch it. "Thank you Ayame, see you later!" They waved goodbye to each other like they'd been good friends all their lives.
"I can't believe *you* let your three year-old son sleep with a bear!" Duo was shaking his head at the thought of the Perfect Soldier with a bear-totting toddler.
"I can't believe *you* let your three year-old daughter play with toy mobile suits!" Heero said with a slight smile playing on his lips.
Duo grinned proudly as he scooped his and Hilde's little girl up in his arms, "What can I say, she takes after her wonderful father!" He gave her a kiss on the cheek. Heero sighed.
He lifted Adin Lowe Yuy onto his shoulders, letting his son grip his neck. "Thanks for watching him Duo, you know how busy Relena is. Plus, here-" He threw a small diskette to him, and Duo caught it with his spare hand, "-Open it, and you'll see why I had to leave." Duo nodded, "Wave goodbye to your Uncle Heero, Ayame!"
"BYEEEEEEEE Uncle Heero! BYEEEEEEEEEE Adin!" Heero winced, realizing just how much Ayame did take after her father.
"Bye Uncle Duo! Bye Ayame, I'm gonna beat you next time!" The little boy swore with his dark blue eyes flashing.
"Un uh! I'm going to beat you little butt again!"
"We'll see!"
"Bye Duo."
"Bye Heero."
Heero managed to pull his son away from Duo's house, wondering where Hilde had been. Heero was half listening to his son who was babbling on with enthusiasm he could have only gotten from his mother about how Duo burnt everyone of their meals.
"Adin, where was your Auntie Hilde?" Heero opened the back of the car door for the boy, and buckled him in.
"She had to run a couple of errands with Aunt Sally." The boy had begun to play with the Wing Zero model he pulled out of his bag. He was flying it around his head making occasional gun noises and flying "Nnnnnneaaaar!" noises. Heero was glad, for once, that Relena wasn't there to him.
"Then, Ling came over for a couple of minutes and Ayame and me pushed him in the sand after he had breaked our toys!" Adin looked pleased with himself, "Then we all said sorry and went inside to drink Lemonade, but Uncle Duo forgots to put sugar in."
Heero tried not to smirk at the thought of Duo wearing an apron and watching over three toddlers.
Poor guy.
Thank god Hilde and Duo had moved to Earth, both active members of the Preventers (as was Heero), until Hilde had Ayame and they settled into a small house about an hour from the Peacecraft Mansion. Wufei and Sally Po also had a son, Ling, who was the same age as Ayame and Adin. Both still fought, and both still worked for the Preventers. Quatre and Dorothy were a different story, however. They were up to baby number two; the oldest, Maia, was a year older then Adin, and Ryo was a year younger. Quatre had played an active part in his father's business and rebuilding the colonies. Trowa and Cathrine had one girl named Cho who was the same age as Maia. They still worked for the circus.
Heero grinned this time, if you had asked him ten years ago if he would have pictured himself married with a kid, surrounded by little 'Gundam children' as their parents called them, he would have never believed it.
And probably shot you for even *thinking* of such an idea.
"Papa, is mama still in her meeting?" Adin leaned closer to the window as they got closer to their home. "Yes, she's been quite busy lately, hasn't she?" He glanced up to see his son's reaction in the rear view mirror. His son nodded.
Relena being busy was an understatement. Not only was she *still* Vice foreign Minister, she also had been nominated for President of the Earth Sphere United Nation.* The thought deeply disturbed Heero though. Whereas Relena was loved by many, there were also a few that didn't share the passion.
"Hey buddy, how about we go get some ice cream and then go surprise your mother by picking her up?" Heero stopped at a stoplight.
The toddler's eyes nearly bulged out of his head, "COULD WE?!" He was bouncing up and down in his seat.
"If you settle down we will." The boy stopped bouncing immediately. "Okay papa, I stopped, can we go get ice cream now?"
If Heero could describe his son in only a few words, they would have to be something like this:
His father's appearance, His mother's love, and their brains meshed together.
Adin was looked just like his father, and Relena had been over-joyed at this. She joked about having a Chibi Heero running around the house, but it had been her idea to name him Adin; close enough to Odin, but not coming that close.
Heero, at the age of twenty-six, couldn't have been prouder.
The pulled into the ice cream store, Heero getting both of their usual. A double fudge (cup for Adin who would make a mess of it even if he was wearing protective clothing) with chocolate sprinkles. They both sat outside, enjoying each other's company on a bench outside of the store. Adin was swinging his short legs to and fro, and Heero was tapping his fingers lightly on the metal bench.
"Adin, did Auntie Hilde say where she was going exactly?" A thought occurred to Heero.
"Nope, only something about a big boom!" Adin must thought it was nothing. Heero choked on his ice cream cone.
kuso...
"Adin, we have to go. Throw away the rest." Heero threw his away and stood up. "But I'm not done yet!" The little boy whined.
"Don't whine about it Adin, do as I say." Heero realized his tone was probably a little harsher then it should have been. Adin pouted, throwing the rest away and as he turned around his father scooped him up, wiping his face with a napkin quickly and nearly throwing him over his shoulder.
"Papa... where are we going?"
"To see if mama's okay, buddy."
"Why wouldn't mama be okay papa?" The boy was just too innocent.
Heero tried to explain the best he could as he ripped the car around the corner. He forced himself to slow when he remembered Adin was in the car.
"There are some people who don't love you mama as much as you and I do."
"Who wouldn't love mama? So the most prettiest, nicest, and goodest person in the whole world!"
Yes... why don't they love your mama Adin?
He turned the radio on, "... I repeat, the President of the Earth Sphere United Nation has been assassinated!" The man on the radio seem to be distressed to a point of mental breakdown. "Vice Foreign Minister Peacecraft was only grazed by a bullet, and refused to leave the president's side..."
"Mama?" Adin's lip trembled. Heero would have had the same reaction if he hadn't have been brought up the way he had. The boy was too damn smart for his own good...
"Mama's fine." Heero assured him weakly. He managed to get the two to the Conference building, noticing the swarms of reporters outside. He let out a low growl, double parking the SUV, why the hell hadn't Duo mentioned this to him? He pulled Adin out of the car, hugging the boy to him, and balancing him on his hip.
"Do you see mama?" Heero asked him, trying to glance over the crowd of people's heads.
"Mama! Mama! Mama!" Adin was squirming against his father and pointing frantically to the right. Heero blinked, Relena was wearing her purple dress suit, her hair that had once been tied in a ponytail was falling around her face, framing it with her stray strands of hair. She had tears in her eyes as the medic wrapped her arm with a bandage.
Somehow, for some reason, Heero didn't think they were tears of pain. He pushed his way through the crowd with Adin still attached to him. A soldier stopped him with his hand, "Sorry sir, no one past this point." Heero shot him the 'Omae o korosu' glare and he could have sworn he saw the soldier flinch in fear.
"The Deputy Foreign Minister is my wife, I'd like to make sure she is all right."
The younger mans eyes nearly bugged out of his head. "Oh... OH!" This was Heero Yuy, pilot of Gundam Wing Zero.
"Sorry sir, you may pass." The young soldier stepped aside, and Heero nodded. There was a semi-clear path surrounding the ambulance Relena was sitting in the back of, and Adin began to squirm so much that Heero finally put him down.
"MamAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Relena scooped the little boy up in her arms, and Heero didn't miss the wince she gave out either. "Hello Adin, how was Uncle Duo and Ayame?" She smiled sadly at Heero's approaching figure.
"She cheated! She glued her Death Scythe model together so mine ended up breaking instead of hers!" He pouted as Heero sat down next to him, "Then I guess we'll have to glue Wing Zero together with even stronger glue." Adin grinned. "Ooooh! It's Uncle Milly and Auntie Lucrenzy!" Relena couldn't help but grin at Heero. It was funny how he just couldn't get the names out right.
"Hey there Adin!" Adin hopped down from the back of the ambulance and into his Aunt's arms. "How about the three of us go for a walk? You can tell us all about Ayame." Noin suggested. Relena gave her sister in law a thankful look.
I wonder if he ever gets sick of answering the same questions... Heero pondered as they walked away.
"Are you all right?" He asked her.
"I think I hurt more in my heart then in my arm." Relena mumbled. Heero grabbed her hand in his, not knowing what he should say.
"I can't believe they actually got to him. The meeting was over early and he stepped outside to wish me luck..." She broke down into tears. Heero put an arm around her, pulling her close to him.
"Don't worry Relena, you did everything you could..."
"Heero... I'm worried... I'm just so worried..."
So am I. Relena...
^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^
Heero opened the door for his wife, and Relena with a passed out Adin slung over her shoulder stepped into the dark house.
"I'll go put Adin to bed." Heero offered. Relena shook her head, "No, it's all right, I'll do it myself." Heero nodded and watched as Relena retreated up the stairs of the Peacecraft mansion.
"Heero, is that you?" Noin called from the living room. Heero stepped into the dimly lit room. "Good it is, have a seat." She motioned for him to sit across from where Zechs had parked himself. He reached inside of his pocket and threw a small viewer towards Zechs who caught it in his right hand. "From Dr. J." Heero answered the question on Zechs mind.
"They're rebuilding the Gundams.... aren't they?" Relena's voice was soft as she entered the room. Heero nodded, and Relena took a seat next to him on the floor so she could rest her head against the chair's side.
They all sat in silence for a minute, "Who do you think is responsible for this?" Zechs broke the silence. Relena bit her lip, "I don't think they meant to hit the president." Everyone gave her a blank stare until she continued, "I think that person was aiming for me." She closed her eyes, and Heero's hand somehow found it's way to stroke her hair.
"Stop it Relena, you're just being paranoid!" Noin exclaimed.
"Am I? You heard what Hilde said, if I had been standing one inch farther to the left, if I hadn't have bent down to pick up his notes he had dropped, it would have been me."
Zechs and Heero exchanged a quick look. "This threat must be the reason the Gundams are being rebuilt. The doctors managed to salvage some of the parts from when he self-destructed them, but it's taken them over five years to upgrade them." Heero explained, still running a hand through Relena's hair.
"Did they mention anything about these people?" Noin inquired. Heero shook his head, "If they did, they'd only tell me if it was a major threat."
"But what if it is? What makes them think that after ten years you all would be willing to risk your lives now that you have families and children?" Relena was almost angry, and Noin was beginning to see her point.
"Yes, why wouldn't they just find someone else to pilot them?" Noin raised an eyebrow, and both guys had guilty looks on their faces. "Oh... Oh, I see. You don't *want* anyone else piloting them, do you? So you're all going to run off to war and leave us little women behind, are you?" Noin was frustrated. Zechs placed a hand on her shoulder, "Calm down, who said anything about a war?"
MAMA! Call it women's intuition, call it a mother's psychic knowledge, call it whatever you want, but Relena knew something was wrong.
Adin? Was her mental cry. Something was wrong. Something was terribly, terribly, wrong.
Relena's eyes snapped open, and she stood up. She glanced around her as if she was searching for something. "Relena, what is it?" Zechs stood up along with the other two in the room. Relena didn't say anything but made a made dash up the stairs and Heero figured out in no time where she was heading. The door to the nursery was flung open by the frantic mother.
Relena let out a choked sob and collapsed next to the empty bed, Heero's eyes shone with pure anger and hatred. Relena began to cry, "They took him Heero, they took our baby! I thought I heard him call me, I thought I was hearing things!" All Heero could do was let her cry onto his chest. The small model of the Gundam Wing Zero laid in pieces on the floor.
From the doorway, Milliardo Peacecraft snarled in anger, "They have stooped to new lows if they achieve their goals by capturing innocents. That is not proper war etiquette."
"Who said anything about war?" Noin whispered, lacing her fingers through his.

So how was it? Good, bad, ugly, stupid, strange, entertaining... all right you get the point. Now here's a challange, if you were to describe the first part of Falling Feathers in a one word review, what would it be? Hmmmm...
