Gundam Wing

Trials

Chapter One:

Author's note and disclaimer: I'm thinking that this will be the last installment. I might do something here and there, but I can't see anything else happening after "Trials". By the way, "Trials", takes place three years into the future. Everyone is in their mid-twenties and the world is somewhat at peace. This will have the same amount (or a little less) of tragedy as the others, so don't expect much ahahaha

I do not own Gundam Wing

Three years after Wufei and Himeno got married and lost their first child. They focused on their mental health and becoming an even fiercer couple to deal with. Working together in the same field the two, along with their usual cohorts, were able to close more cases and make even more arrests ever thought possible. Within three years the world became more of a peaceful place. As soon as they were able to catch their breath, Wufei and Himeno tried for another child and after a few attempts Himeno became pregnant. And this time she was happy from the get-go.

With strict orders from the doctor, Himeno only worked half days and relaxed from home until Wufei returned to her. Ten months later a daughter—healthy and loud—was born. Kako Chang was born August eighth, with jet black hair like her father's and striking blue eyes like her mother's. Finally, after years of horrific incidents filled with anger and sorrow the two couldn't be happier. Wufei fell in love with Kako the moment she first curled her tiny hand around his finger. Himeno remained in the hospital for a few more days because of the amount of blood she had loss, the doctor told them that there was nothing to be concerned about—it was just precautionary.

In the middle of Himeno's pregnancy they decided to hire a nanny, Alex Clyne. A lovely and patient young lady who was living in Japan as a nurse that worked for an agency that sent her out to odd jobs as a nanny, a baby sitter or whatever was needed for. She kept Himeno company whenever she came home from work and made sure she followed the doctor's orders down to the letter. Now, that Kako was here, she was handier than ever. Alex lived in one of the many rooms of the couple's house, they respected her privacy and whenever she needed a day off they were happy to give it to her.

Five months later, Kako has already developed her language, can sit up and crawl on her own. Himeno and Wufei are beginning to notice that she likes her quiet time, but has the same personality traits as her mother. The two were already beginning to fear what Kako was going to be like when she was a teenager because in retrospect they already knew and it gave them nightmares.

Kako's god parents, Duo and Trowa, welcomed their status as go to parents and future scapegoats. Quatre spoiled the baby girl rotten with up-to-date toys, clothes and other baby goods. And Heero, the idiot, promised to teach the girl how to use a gun properly—receiving death glares from everyone in room.

Lying in the hospital bed, Himeno cradled the newly born Kako close to her chest. Glaring up at Heero she coldly warned him, "Let me be clear Yuy, Kako will not be learning the trade. Learning self-defense or martial arts is one thing, but learning how to kill is out of the question. We want her to have the life we couldn't growing up. And if I find out that any of you have been teaching her anything to do with taking a life, you better be willing to leave the country, but even then you will not be safe. There will be no safe house, no dark corner that I will not be able to find you. I will torture you in ways that you never thought possible. Do I make myself clear?"

After the calm death threat everyone put the thought of teaching Kako anything to the back of their mind. At least, not without the consent of her parent's first.

Now, Himeno is with Kako, trying to calm her down from her recent checkup. Himeno is pacing back and forth with her, rocking her side to side—singing to her. While Alex called Wufei for her, as soon as he picked up the nanny handed the phone over to his wife.

"Is everything alright?" Wufei asked out right.

"Yes everything is fine; she's just a little fussy after her shots." Himeno laughed, "I'm gonna stay home with her for the rest of the day since she's also running a slight fever. I'm also sending Alex out for a break, but she said she'd pick up stuff for dinner."

Himeno could hear Wufei scoff at the other end, "are you sure you can handle her?"

"Kako maybe stubborn, but she's not as stubborn as me." Himeno waved to Alex as she was leaving, "I'm gonna give her bath, give her some meds and see if that'll help her."

"And if that doesn't work?"

Himeno smirked mischievously, "Then I'll just have to call Daddy and make him come home early. She always does better with you."

Wufei laughed, he knew what Himeno was playing at, "I'll be home an hour early."

"Thank you babe," Himeno hummed, "love you."

"Love you too."

Just as promised Wufei returned home an hour early and quickly found Himeno and Kako in the living room. The baby was crying and Himeno looked like she was at her wits end without anyone else home to help keep her composure. Wufei approached them, his very face making Kako smile with her arms reaching out to him. Himeno retired Kako to him, greeting Wufei in the usual manor—collapsing her head on his shoulder.

"This child is going to break me." Himeno exhaustingly joked.

"I told you, patience is virtue," Wufei chimed as he bounced his daughter.

"Patience can bite me." Himeno said with a sigh of frustration, turning towards the couch with one of Kako's giant stuffed dogs in her lap. Wufei peered over his wife. Almost all of the baby weight was gone, the little that she had, but her cheek bones shouldn't be showing themselves off like they should. The make-up she was using to conceal the dark circles underneath her eyes was beginning to wear off.

"You still can't sleep properly?" Wufei asked sitting down while still holding on to Kako.

Himeno shook her head, "Kako is the only one that I really get up for, so she's not keeping me up."

"It could just be insomnia." Wufei suggested.

"It's never that simple Wufei." Himeno argued tiredly.

Wufei leaned over and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, "maybe it is this time."

Author's note: I know it's a terrible way to end a chapter, but this was just to catch everything up so we wouldn't be here for three chapters while Himeno went through the whole pregnancy. I want to get to the good stuff quickly. Let me know what you guys think.
