A Little Surprise
Chapter Two: A Positive Test One Day Keeps the Doctors Coming
"I'm Pregnant Trowa..." The words kept repeating over and over and over in Trowa's mind as he gazed blankly at his lover. Finally he said the most intelligent thing that came to mind in a situation such as this.
"What?!" Okay... so the tall teen didn't say it... more of yelped...
"Trowa." Heero said slowly and his boyfriend nodded to say he heard. "I am pregnant. I am expecting. I am with child. Inside of my body is a baby. In a few months we will be parents. What don't you understand?!" By the end of that tirade Heero's unstable emotional state, doubled with his lack of nutrients and sleep for the past month, made his panic bubble up to the surface and erupt. He had been sitting there for three hours worrying, panicking, and denying what he had been dreading.
Suddenly Heero paled whiter than the spotless sheets on the two's bed and got to his feet hurriedly. He hit the edge of the table with a loud banging sound and the pregnancy tests clattered to the floor as Heero sprinted for the bathroom. Trowa's stunned brain let his body move in autopilot as he chased after Heero and paused in shock in the doorway.
His little love, the unbeatable, death-before-surrender, Perfect Soldier, Heero Yuy was kneeling on the cold tile floor in the bathroom throwing up violently into the white porcelain toilet. Trowa snapped out of his daze instantly and kneeled next to his violently sick boyfriend and held him up. His long graceful fingers brushed Heero's bangs out of his face and gently and slowly began to rub soothing circles on his back. After five minutes of violent vomiting, and five more of fierce dry heaving Heero's stomach settled down.
He was too exhausted to get up so he opted to stay seated in front of the toilet. He lay his head on the purely white wall next to said toilet; and closed his wide Prussian eyes. Trowa continued to rub his back and studied his lover. Now that he took the time to scrutinize his Japanese boyfriend he noticed that Heero wasn't looking too hot.
Well, he was looking hot, come on; this is Heero Yuy, he always looks kissable. No, what Trowa noticed was far different. Heero was much paler than he had been a month ago. Where his skin was normally a rich golden color it was now an almost ashen white color. As a result the dark circles under his eyes became more pronounced making his, recently gaunt, face look wraith like.
"Are you feeling better?" Trowa asked numbly. Heero nodded wordlessly, without opening his eyes. His long thick lashes contrasted greatly with his pale visage. Looking like double crescent moons when the color of the stars and space had reversed itself.
"You don't believe me do you?" Heero asked softly, finally opening his eyes and turning his head slightly to see his boyfriend better. "You think I'm making this up."
"To be honest I don't know what to believe Heero." Trowa answered truthfully. "I mean, you are a boy, I have obviously seen the proof of that." Heero gave a half-hearted smirk at that one. "It's not every day you're male boyfriend tells you that they're pregnant at three o' clock in the morning."
"It's not everyday you find yourself taking seven pregnancy tests and finding them all to be positive when you are a male." Heero retorted with a snort. Trowa gave a strained smile at the jest.
"If I wasn't allowed to consume alcohol while working I would swear I had a few too many drinks at the bar." Trowa said softly. Heero turned to face Trowa with an unreadable expression.
"Are you going to leave me?" Heero asked in a dead tone. Trowa's eyes widened in shock and...
"What?!" ...and he found himself repeating his intelligent sentiments from fifteen minutes before hand. He got himself under control seeing Heero wince from his volume and pulled the small pilot to his chest. "I would never leave you Heero, you know that." Trowa said in a much more acceptable volume considering that the two lived in an apartment building.
"I'm sorry, but I've become really... emotional lately..." Heero said softly. "I can barely keep it in check." Trowa hugged him closer and placed a kiss on the top of his head. He finally helped Heero to his feet and supported him as they made their way over to the sink. He flushed the toilet before speaking.
"Heero. You are the most beautiful person I have ever met, both physically and emotionally. You're the most kind-hearted and giving person there is. Not even Quatre can compare at times." Heero snorted at that as he washed his hands, mouth, and face. "I'm serious." Trowa said at the disbelieving snort. "I would be a fool to ever let you go, and I never will." Heero finished brushing his teeth and turned to Trowa and kissed him.
"Thank you." He whispered, tucking his head under his love's chin. Trowa wrapped his long arms around his most precious possession and kissed him on the top of his head again. They stood there together for many moments before separating. Trowa brushed his own teeth before turning to the Japanese teen again.
"I love you." Heero whispered softly.
"I love you too." Trowa said kissing Heero on the lips deeply. They broke apart. "Come on, let's get you into bed."
"O-kay." Heero said as he yawned. Trowa helped him into their bedroom and the two stripped down to their boxers. Once they were safely snuggled up in bed, Heero using his lover's firm chest as a pillow, the Latino teen spoke again.
"Heero how is it possible for a male to become pregnant?" Trowa asked. Heero nuzzled his head under his clown's sharp chin.
"I'll tell you tomorrow." Heero said tiredly. "I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow."
"Whose the doctor?" Trowa asked in a protective manner. Heero smiled at that.
"Sally." Heero answered. "She and Wufei are on this colony on a mission they finished yesterday. She managed to convince Chang to take the day off and go sight seeing as she had something to take care of."
"Sight seeing?" Trowa asked in an amused tone. Heero's smile transformed into a down right grin.
"Hn." His tone was also amused. "I already called Molly, Hillary, and Mr. Gates. They gave me the day off and Hillary said she would take the notes for me."
"Did you tell them why?" Trowa asked.
"I told them I was going to the doctor." Heero said. Then he scowled. "All three of them told me it was about time and lectured me about my health." Trowa chuckled and kissed Heero on the head again.
"Hm." He said, his eyes starting to close. "Do you want me to come with you? I can skip my classes. I was planning on taking a break sooner or later anyway."
"Please?" Heero asked before yawning.
"Done." Trowa said sleepily. "How long should it take?"
"Well, Sally will have to check to make sure I'm right. When she does I have to explain to both of you what happened." He yawned again. "If I'm right, and I'm positive I am, than they'll be sending me in for tests, lab work, and other such matters to check if the baby is healthy. That should take all day."
"Well, we can deal with that tomorrow." Trowa said. Getting no reply he looked down to see that Heero was already fast asleep. He smiled and kissed his love on the forehead again. "Oyasumi koi." {Night, love.}
"Hey guys." Sally Po greeted the two Gundam pilots as they entered the makeshift office in the Preventer building. Sally had taken over the office for the time being. Sally was a pretty woman of a mixed origin. Her face was round and her eyes were tilted showing her Chinese origin but everything else about her screamed 'Caucasian!' Her hair was a light blonde color that was worn in two plaits at the sides of her head, and her tilted green eyes were green. She was dressed in her Preventer uniform, with customary jacket. "Besides why you are here, how have you two been doing?"
"We'll live." Trowa answered with a small smile to their friend.
"That's always good. Why don't you hop up onto the table Heero?" Sally asked. The small Japanese teen got up on the examining table and sat tiredly. He had been sick all morning. "Now what seems to be the problem?"
"Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, mood swings, fatigue, dizziness, and feeling faint." Heero answered as if reading out a mission report. He nodded his head at Trowa who handed Sally a large freezer Ziplock bag containing the seven positive pregnancy tests. (A/N: Would they stay positive that long? Oo) "I'm positive that I'm pregnant."
"You're positive you're what?!" Sally asked.
"Pregnant." Heero and Trowa answered. Sally blinked. She could have sworn that they had just told her, twice, that they thought Heero was pregnant. She blinked again.
"Listen, can you just run a blood test?" Heero asked waspishly. "You know that I am incapable of playing practical jokes during working hours." Sally snapped out of it and took a sample of Heero's blood.
"Okay, the test results should be back in two hours." Sally said. "Until then can you explain to me what is going on?" Trowa looked at his lover expectantly.
"Are there any cameras, bugs, etcetera in this room?" Heero asked.
"None, I swept for them as soon as I got here." Sally answered. Her nervous patient nodded before taking in a deep breath.
"Do you remember training to be a Gundam pilot Trowa?" Heero asked softly.
"Yeah, I only had time to be trained for a few months before Operation Meteor went underway." He answered with a frown.
"The same is true for Wufei and Quatre." Heero said softly. "Duo was in training for one to two years at most."
"What does this have to do with anything?" Trowa asked, then his expression turned murderous. "If one of those five doctors laid a hand on you..."
"Iie." Heero said quickly. "It wasn't them." Trowa relaxed.
"Than what?" Sally asked.
"Unlike the rest of you I had been training with Dr. J since I was eight-years-old." Heero said softly and the two gaped at him. "It wasn't easy but J never allowed anyone to mess with me to his knowledge." He looked down.
"Heero?" Sally asked gently. Heero shook his head, chasing away the bad memories and continued.
"When I was thirteen I was captured during a mission by the Alliance." Heero continued. "My- a man I knew worked for that particular branch of the Alliance in the L6 colony cluster. He decided to use me as a guinea pig for his new experiment." He paused and gave Trowa a small smile as the tall clown took his hand in his. "They knocked me unconscious and when I woke up I found that they had done an operation to my abdomen and injected me with different chemicals." Heero said softly.
"Wait... so they?" Sally trailed off.
"Yes." Heero answered. "I escaped and destroyed the base. Dr. J checked me over and immediately found what they did. He got really pissed off at what they did to me."
"What did they do Heero?" Trowa asked.
"Well..." Heero blushed red. "Along with my normal organs they implanted female ones inside of me." He paused and turned redder. "All of the eggs in my ovaries have my DNA in them, but unlike a female I don't go through the menstrual cycle."
"Then how..." Sally stopped in confusion and Heero, if possible, blushed even more.
"I function basically like a lion in that respect." Heero said softly and Trowa blushed red also, knowing automatically what he meant. Female lions didn't go into heat. When they decided they wanted to get pregnant they had sex with a male lion for many, many hours until it caused her to ovulate. Sally coughed to hide a laugh at that one and motioned for Heero to continue.
"We weren't sure if it would work or not so J injected me with drugs once a year to prevent me from getting pregnant no matter what happened." Heero continued. "Even after the war, Trowa and I didn't... well... last month was interesting..." Heero broke off and Sally laughed out loud as Trowa blushed even redder.
"I see, I'll have to run some tests later Heero to see exactly what they altered." Sally remarked.
"You don't actually." Heero said and pulled a disk out of his pocket and handed it to his blonde friend. "Here are J's files on that, and the files from the scientist that did this originally."
"Heero, who was this person?" Trowa prodded gently. Heero looked down at his lap.
"He was my uncle." Heero finally answered with a sigh. "After my parents died he was named my legal guardian but I ran away and joined up with Odin. Since he was technically my legal guardian before I killed him he was allowed to do what he wanted with me. But he's dead so it doesn't matter."
"I see." Sally said softly as she took the disk. The lab results came in and a nurse entered and handed them to Sally, who thanked her, and waited for the girl to leave the room before opening them. "Well, it's positive. You are pregnant Heero." Heero nodded and Trowa paled but nodded also. "You better change into a hospital gown Heero, we have a long day of testing ahead of us. We have to make sure that you and that baby of yours is healthy."
"All right then." Sally said at the end of the day. She came back into the rooms after Heero changed back into his normal clothes. She was carrying a large stack of pamphlets and books. She dropped those into Trowa's arms and looked down at the clipboard she had stuck on top of that. "Everything is going fine, both of you are perfectly healthy and you're due in April."
"Well, that's good." Trowa said, peering over the large stack of book in his lap. It was a good thing he was so tall, if Sally had handed those books to Heero he would have had to peek around them.
"Since you are friends of mine I took the liberty of getting you some reference material." Sally said. The two boys traded looks that obviously said 'reference material?' "Now, inside of the top book is a stack of stapled papers. Those are lists of what you should avoid and what you should get more of."
Heero took out the list and blanched. "No vigorous exercise?" He asked looking up with a lost look on his face.
"That's right Yuy." Sally said sternly. "You must do some exercise but limit it to perhaps swimming or taking a one mile walk everyday. You don't want to do exercise that will raise your temperature or make you winded." Heero gave a slight pout to that, not that he'd ever admit it of course.
"It says he's not supposed to take over-the-counter drugs." Trowa spoke up, flicking his emerald eyes up from the paper to the blonde Preventer agent.
"Nope." Sally answered. "There are a few that are still safe. Before you take them call me and I can tell you if it is all right." She waited and when there were no other questions she nodded. "Now, somehow we need to schedule you to have an ultrasound next week."
"It will look suspicious if you come back to this colony a week after your mission." Heero said with a frown.
"Yes, but we can't afford to travel right now." Trowa added and Heero nodded.
"Hm... that is a problem..." Sally trailed off. She looked at the two and sized them up. "I can call for some vacation time. If we let Lady Une what is going on she will be more than happy to let me come here in secret."
"Wufei will become suspicious." Heero said.
"It can't be helped Heero. I need to see what's happening with your baby." Sally said. Heero sighed and nodded.
"Good. I'll call you when I can get here." Sally said calmly. "You may go back to work if you feel up to it tomorrow but try to take it easier. Both of you are obviously working yourselves to hard. It's not good for you Heero." The small Japanese boy nodded. "All right. I'll see you in a week."
The two thanked her and waved before leaving her office. Sally looked down at the disk in her hand. Oh, what the hell. She thought and popped it into the computer to see exactly what she was dealing with.
Trowa and Heero walked back to their apartment silently. Trowa was still carrying the large pile of books, not allowing Heero to take them. The small Japanese teen was carrying a paper bag with a bottle of vitamins he was supposed to take to keep his baby healthy. No words were exchanged between the two, as they were both deep in thought.
When they finally reached home the two went straight to the kitchen. Trowa set the books on the floor at the side of the table as Heero put the vitamins with the other supplements they took in the morning. He would stop taking those of course. He really didn't need to take two vitamin pills in a day. He sat across from Trowa and there the two sat silently.
"So..." Trowa trailed off.
"Hn." Heero answered. Neither of them looked at each other. The phone rang saving them from an awkward silence and Trowa answered it.
"Hello? Hi Quatre." Trowa said as he answered the phone. Heero watched him with interest. "I've been okay." Trowa chuckled. "No, I am not going to tell you where I am; and no, this line cannot be traced." Heero's lips twitched up in the corner at that. "Heero? What about Heero?" He said with a frown and Heero watched him intently. "Duo wants to see him? Why would I know where he is? You might try Wufei, he is a Preventer after all. All right, all right, bye little one." Trowa hung up.
"The baka wants to see me?" Heero asked in surprise.
"Heero, you are his best friend after all." Trowa said. Heero slowly nodded at that and looked down at his hands. It was silent and finally Heero sighed.
"What are we going to do Tro?" Heero asked softly. "In a few months I won't be able to hide this from the people at school and work."
"I know." Trowa said softly back, deep in thought. "Well, we could transfer to Earth, we have just enough for that. If we make it seem like you're a girl than people won't notice the difference."
"If Duo is searching for me than as soon as we enter the space port he will know exactly where we are." Heero answered back and Trowa nodded with a frown. Finally Trowa spoke up.
"We could always tell them." He suggested softly. Heero closed his eyes and buried his head in his hands and sighed tiredly.
"Then you're the one who gets to explain everything." Heero said finally in a muffled voice.
"Why me?" Trowa asked. Heero looked up and shot him a dark glare.
"Because you're the one who got me pregnant." Heero snapped back. Trowa gulped at the mood swing and Heero sighed again. "Sorry."
"It's all right." Trowa answered softly. To his surprise Heero looked at him with tears in his big blue eyes looking more miserable than the clown had ever seen him.
"What are we supposed to do?" Heero asked in a shaky voice as he sniffed. Tears spilled over; and for the first time since he was eight-years-old he began to cry. The salty tears gently splashed onto the table. Trowa was instantly out of his seat and embracing his weepy love.
"It'll be okay Heero." Trowa said softly. "Everything will work itself out." Heero buried his head in Trowa's chest still crying.
"No it won't!" Heero sobbed. "I'm a male, I'm pregnant, and I haven't been able to hold down anything for two weeks now! And I don't even know why I'm crying!" Trowa gave a slight chuckle then and kissed away Heero's tears.
"Baby, it's normal." Heero gave him a confused look. He looked absolutely adorable with his tear stained face, like a little child. "Sally said that it's just one of the side effects of pregnancy." Heero sniffed and buried his face in Trowa's wet sweater and Trowa hugged him closer. They were silent for a while. "I may have a solution to our problem... if you want to that is..." He sounded unsure of himself and Heero peeked at him through his chocolate colored bangs.
"What is it?" Heero asked. He had calmed down by now. His tall love just had that affect on him.
"Well... um..." Trowa trailed off again and Heero blinked at him cutely. "We could..." He mumbled something and Heero frowned.
"We could what?" He asked. Trowa took a deep breath and looked Heero in the eyes.
"We could always get married." Trowa said softly and blushed when Heero gazed at him intensely. Heero finally nodded and Trowa gaped. "You're serious?" Heero tilted his head slightly and nodded again. Trowa smiled and reached into his pocket pulling out a small black velvet box and opening it. Inside rested a golden ring.
"Trowa?" Heero asked in shock.
"Heero Yuy, will you marry me?"
There it is! Also, to those of you who have ever read my other stories. If I do end up using Triton and Hikaru do you want me to throw Solo, Meilan, and James in too? I would greatly appreciate it if you gave me some input. I have plans for this fic but I need help making up my mind for this. Please Review! Flames are welcome!
