Lost In The Night: Part 1
Relena walks silently into her son's room, stopping in the doorway.
She smiles as she sees Heero leaning over Odin's bed and tucking him in.
Odin reaches his little arms out and hugs Heero around the neck, giving
him a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you, Dad." Odin says.
Heero smiles and feels yet another piece of his heart being exposed,
leaving less and less of the perfect soldier he once was.
"I love you too, Odin." Heero says, bending down and hugging the three-
year-old.
Relena enters the room and hugs Odin as he reaches his arms out for her.
Heero watches and wonders what he ever did to deserve such a wonderful
family.
"Goodnight, Odin, I love you." Relena says and kisses his cheek.
"I love you too, Momma." Odin says. He closes his eyes and already
starts to fall asleep.
Heero turns the light off and he leaves the room, Relena close behind
him. He goes into their room and gets into bed, watching Relena lay
down beside him. Pulling her close to him, he closes his eyes, feeling
her arms around him.
She rests her head against his chest and sighs in contentment. Her eyes
slowly close. Just before she drifts into sleep, she hears Heero whisper,
"I love you."
*~*~*~*~*
Relena's eyes fly open and she sees darkness. At first she can't
focus very well and her eyes try to adjust. She sees a dark figure move
across the room and she nervously fumbles around beside the bed and turns
on the lamp.
"Heero? What are you doing?" she asks, blinking because of the sudden
light.
He had just pulled on jeans over his boxers and was loading a gun. His
eyes showed nothing, just a cold slate stare.
"Heero?" she says again, sliding out of bed and shivering as her bare
feet touched the cold floor. "It's in the middle of the night, what's
going on?"
"Something's not right." answers his monotone voice. He doesn't look
up at her but finishes loading the gun and getting dressed quickly.
A loud sound is heard and Heero jerks his head torward the noise. "Go to
Odin's room and lock the door." he orders.
"But Heero-" she says, showing frightened eyes.
"Go." he whispers harshly and heads down the hall in the direction the
noise came from.
She hurries to Odin's room and her breath catches in her throat. Odin
wasn't there. *No, he must have just gotten up or something...* She
looks around his room and doesn't see him anywhere. The tears sting her
eyes and a choking sound escapes from her throat as she tries to hold
back her sobs.
*~*~*~*~*
Heero rushes outside and into the cold night air as he hears an engine
start up. He looks across the street where a jeep was hidden in the dark
shadows. It quickly speeds away and he runs torwards it until it
disappears from his view. "Damn..." he whispers under his breath. *What
the heck was that doing over here?*
He runs back to the house, worried about Relena and Odin.
