The L6 Conspiracy
Sequel to Trowa's Girl
Author's Note: Like everyone else writing fan fiction, I do not own Gundam Wing or its characters or any songs or anything else that I couldn't possibly own that I might mention in writing. This is my second try. I decided my fluff story needed a sequel with more substance. Read and review, please! (Think constructive criticism!) Thank you! Enjoy!
Hattie Barton yawned and stretched. She slowly reached her small hands up to her eyes and wiped the sleep away. She smiled to herself.
Hattie Barton. I like that.
Only the day before had she taken that name. It had been a small, quiet wedding. Well, for the most part at least. It's impossible for anything to be "quiet" with Duo Maxwell around. Hattie's grin widened. Hilde usually managed to keep her husband in check, but, occasionally, he found away to get around her and pull some sort of juvenile prank. At yesterday's reception, he succeeded in switching one of the sheet cakes with one of his own "special recipe". He made sure that both Heero Yuy and Wufei Chang got nice, big pieces. Many of the guests, mostly people who didn't know about Duo's cake, wondered why the two of them were dancing to classics like "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Ice, Ice Baby". The biggest surprise was when they proceeded to lead everyone in "The Electric Slide".
Hattie began giggling at the memory of it. It had been a wonderful day, and there would be many more to come. She looked to the sleeping form at her side and sighed.
Trowa, you're so wonderful.
She kissed him lightly on the cheek before getting up to make breakfast. However, when she got into the kitchen of their small trailer, she found her dear friend, and now sister-in-law, Catherine Winner, already whipping up several waffles and a few omelets. Hattie walked over to the tall young woman and gave her a hug.
"Cathy, what are you doing here?"
"Well, I knew you and Trowa weren't going on a honeymoon, so I thought I'd at least come and spare you some of the work. Besides, Quatre wanted to stay on the colony for a few more days. I may as well do something constructive while I'm here."
"Thank you, dear," Hattie said giving the girl another hug. "It's nice we can actually say we're sisters now."
Cathy smiled warmly at the petite girl next to her, "So, did you have a nice night?"
Hattie blushed and softly replied, "Of course."
"Alright," Cathy said grinning, "I won't you tease you about it."
"I appreciate it!" Hattie laughed. "Where's Quatre today?"
"I think he's talking with some of the colony leaders today. You know. He's always got something important he's working on. I'm sure he'd tell me if I asked, but I'd rather worry about other things."
Catherine placed her hand gently on her steadily growing belly.
"And to think our own wedding was only six months ago."
She turned to Hattie, "It's wonderful; isn't it?"
Hattie smiled, "Yes, it's marvelous."
"What's so marvelous?" Trowa asked stepping into the kitchen.
"Being married," his wife replied with a sweet smile.
He walked over to her and kissed her softly, "Good morning, beautiful."
Hattie giggled as he walked over to Cathy, "It's nice to see you here this morning."
He gave her a warm hug before returning to his wife.
Cathy laughed, "It's nice to see you, too, but I don't think I'll stick around for long. You two need some time to yourselves, and I've got things to do."
Hattie got the plates and silverware out as Cathy put the food on the table.
"Hattie, dear, only two plates. I've already eaten and, as I said, I'm leaving you two in peace."
"Are you sure, Cathy? We don't mind having you."
"I'm positive. In fact, I need to be getting out the door now. Hilde and Duo are still here. I'm taking her shopping before we meet our guys for lunch."
Hattie gave her new sister another hug, "Thank you for coming this morning."
Cathy smiled and turned to hug her brother, "You two have fun today, okay?"
He shook his head and smiled back at her, "See you later, Cathy."
She headed to the door and, with a wink, left the small trailer. Trowa stepped up behind Hattie, placed his arms around her waist and kissed the top of her head, "Let's eat."

Quatre straightened his tie nervously.
I never was completely comfortable speaking at L6. Something
about Governor Rodrick always made me skiddish. Quatre shook himself and walked briskly into the conference room.
There's nothing to worry about. How little did he know.
Okay, so it was short and had little more fluff than I really wanted, but gimme a break! I need to get into it! ( Review and go easy on the flames, please! (You don't really want me to cry do you? () 2nd chapter coming very soon hopefully.
