Note: This is; I guess a sequel to Destiny. It is a part of the series I am developing. This is two of three. I have to warn everyone. There is a lot of talk along the lines of Yaoi, but there really is NO Yaoi in this fic. Quatre and Trowa break up and meet women. It is their, well, Quatre's transition from the idea of being of one sexuality to another. Oh, Limy/lemony seen at the end of chapter 3. You have been warned, now what you do with it is your choice. No flames please. Oh, one more thing. Go check out my web site and send in your fics!!! I need them desperately!
Love,

Destiny: To Love a Woman
Chapter 1
By Moony
"Why don't you tell me about your past?" Quatre asked Trowa for once again. Trowa gave no reply. After a long pause Quatre sighed and gave up. "I'm going to go see Relena and her new baby, Destiny. I heard she's very cute and takes after both her parents very well." Trowa merely nodded. Quatre was becoming annoyed with Trowa. He wanted a relationship that had communication and Trowa was so very quiet. Quatre could not help wondering if this relationship was going to work out or not. They had no physical interaction at all. Quatre left and headed over to his best friend's home and the Earth for a few days
* * * *
Trowa looked out at the sky. 'I wish I could tell you, Quatre, but every time I think of her I can't help still loving her…' Trowa stood up and went back into the Winner mansion. He loaded his stuff into a small bag.
"Sorry, Quatre," he sighed, "But I can no longer stay here."
* * * *
Quatre smiled at little Destiny as she reached for him. He picked her up and she giggled in his arms. Relena was behind him watching with a proud smile on her face.
"She has her father's eyes and hair, but her mother's looks," Quatre said. "I wish I could have one." Relena began laughing.
"Oh, Quatre!" Relena sighed. Quatre looked over at her with an unhappy look on his face.
"Do you think I'd be a bad father?" he asked rather worried.
"Oh no, but you'd have competition on who the father would be! You or Trowa!" Relena smiled. Quatre looked away.
"I've thought about that. Do you remember what we talked about after the uh, incident with Nicholas?" Quatre asked. Relena tensed at the sound of his name, but stayed calm.
"Yes, did you two speak about that. Are you considering other options?" Relena asked. Destiny touched Quatre's cheek.
"Qua…" She started. Quatre's heart melted. How would it feel to have his daughter call him 'dada'? He wanted to know desperately.
- "I don't know… I don't want to hurt Trowa…"
"If he does care about you," Relena said. "He'll understand." Just then the door opened and Heero walked in.
"Hello Quatre, if you don't mind. Could I take my daughter for a moment? I've gotten her a surprise," Heero said.
"Oh, Heero, if you don't stop surprising her she's going to be spoiled!" Relena cried.
"Just like you," Heero shot back lovingly. Relena couldn't help but smile.
"Okay you win," She laughed. He took the baby from Quatre.
"Dada!" Destiny cried. Quatre smiled. He wanted that. He knew it now. Heero left with Destiny and Quatre sat beside Relena. There was a rap on the door.
"Come in!" Relena called. A servant walked in and bowed.
"Miss Dorothy Catalonia to see you," she said and stepped aside from the door. Relena stood up and glanced at Quatre.
"I wasn't expecting her," she said. Dorothy stepped into the room with a warm smile on her face.
"Hello, Miss Relena. Oh, Mr. Winner, I didn't know you would be here," Dorothy cried. "Should I leave? I'm sorry I came unannounced!" Dorothy went to leave.
"Oh no, Dorothy!" Relena cried behind her. She whispered to Quatre, "She's been so jittery since the war. She doesn't know how to act."
"I know how she feels," Quatre replied. Relena went running after Dorothy. Quatre remained seated and waited for them to return.

"What a surprise, Trowa!" Cathrine smiled. "I'm so glad to see you! Are you going to stay long?"
Trowa nodded, "For a while."
"How wonderful! I'll have to introduce you two some new people who are here now!" Cathrine cried in delight. She ran out of the tent. Trowa ran his hand over his clown mask.
"It took me a long time to find you, Nanashi, or should I say Trowa?" a female voice said. Trowa's rarely changed expression moved to somber too shocked. He whorled around to look into deep brown eyes.
"Midii…" Trowa whispered. Midii smiled at him. "What are you doing here?" He asked harshly.
"I don't expect you to forgive me for what I did twelve years ago, but I had to find you again," Midii started. "I never told you how I felt about you, but I was a child then and didn't know my heart so well. I'm an adult now and mature and very aware what I did and will forever remain ashamed. When I heard about the Gundams and what they were doing I was sure you would be one of them and I was right. I hadn't figured out your new name, but when I saw your face I knew it was you." She stepped toward Trowa. "Look at your hair. It was so short then…" She reached up to touch it when Trowa grabbed her wrist.
"No," he said strongly. She looked at him for a moment, then smiled.
"I'm such a fool," she sighed after he released her arm. She looked down and shook her head. "How could I have imagined?" she looked back up at him. "No matter. I just wanted to tell you. I'll leave you now. I just needed to see you one last time in my life." She turned to leave.
"You never told me," Trowa said. She turned back to him.
"About what?" She asked.
"How you felt about me," Trowa put in. Midii looked at him and smiled.
"That is simple enough," Midii sighed. "I love you, but I thought you knew that." She turned away from him again.
"Midii," Trowa called one last time. She looked at him.
"Yes Trowa?"
"Do you mean what you just said?"
"If you got to know me again you'd see I mean everything I say," She replied.
"I want to get to know you better…" Trowa looked at her for a moment. "Your hair has grown out," he noticed. Midii laughed and the two began a long conversation.
* * * *
Quatre, Relena, and Dorothy all sat in Destiny's playroom drinking tea in total silence.
"So," Relena said uneasily. "How have you been doing Dorothy? Do you have a new job yet?"
"I've made a school out of the Romefeller foundation, as you already know, but we are trying for a university soon," Dorothy explained. "I was lucky just to get off and see you and your daughter. Speaking of which, where is she?"
"Heero has her. He's bought her another surprise," Relena sighed. Just as she finished the door opened. Heero walked in with Destiny. The baby giggled with delight as her father held a toy in his other hand. He sat the child down and the toy in front of her. It was a mental game. Destiny quickly began experimenting with it. Undividedly Heero watched her as she pieced together everything rather quickly.
"Isn't that cute?" Relena cooed, unaware of what the toy really signified. Dorothy and Quatre knew very well what Heero was doing, but stayed silent and watched as Destiny solved the puzzle at hand. Dorothy glanced over at Quatre just as he was glancing at her. They made eye contact and shared thoughts. Heero was planning to train his daughter.
'How do I always know what she's thinking?' Quatre asked himself. 'Is that supposed to mean something?' He shook the thought off. He would speak to Relena about it later. After Destiny tired of the toy she crawled over to the new person in the room. Dorothy smiled at the baby and picked her up. Destiny laughed and reached for Quatre with one hand and held Dorothy's finger with another as she sat on Dorothy's lap. Quatre gave his hand to Destiny. She took his forefinger and wrapped his finger around Dorothy's. Dorothy looked up at Quatre and he looked at her. Relena looked at Destiny, then at Dorothy and Quatre; lastly she looked over at Heero. He had something that looked like a smug grin on his face. Relena looked back at Destiny. Just what did Heero see that she didn't in their daughter? There was something Relena didn't know about her baby. She wanted to find out. Quatre and Dorothy continued to look at each other. Something happened in both of them.

"I don't understand," Quatre sighed as he spoke to Raddus on the vid-phone "Why would he leave like this?" Raddus just shook his head, just as confused. "There must have been some reason. And there's only one place he would go…"
"The circus," Raddus finished. Quatre nodded.
"But I think I'll give him some times. He apparently needs it. I just hope he gets what he wants there and comes back as soon as possible," Quatre sighed. "I will call later. Keep me informed. Good bye." He shut off the phone and slumped into the nearest seat.

"Oh, Trowa, you've met our one of our newest members already!" Cathrine cried when she walked in on Midii and Trowa. "I think you already know her name though, right Triini?" Trowa looked over at Midii.
"Triini?" he whispered. Midii shrugged and smiled. They both looked at Cathrine who had a sort of dreamy look on her face as she stared at the two. She suddenly came out of it and smiled.
"Well, Triini, I'll let you introduce him to your brothers and father, okay?" Cathrine said.
"Sure, Cathy," Midii said.
"Well, then I'll leave you two alone." Cathy smiled and walked out of the small room. Midii turned to Trowa.
"How did you spell that?" Trowa asked.
"T, R, I, I, N, I," Midii smiled.
"And what are your brother's?" Trowa asked without a change in his expression.
"They didn't change theirs. Don't worry Trowa, you'll meet them soon," Midii said and scooted closer. "I have a question for you." Trowa raised an eyebrow. "You lived with Quatre Raberba Winner for a few years. Tell me, did you two have a relationship?" Trowa did not answer. "Well?"
"Yes I did, or I still do," Trowa replied. Midii nodded.
"I thought as much, so I, we don't have a chance anymore?" Midii asked. Trowa again did not answer. Midii looked down and weakly smiled. "I understand, Trowa, but being friends is a reward too," She went to stand up when Trowa caught her arm. He pulled her down and beside him.
"I did not say that," he whispered. "Some times you take what you think is the only good choice, someone you care about. But you, Midii are someone I love." Trowa kissed Midii.
