What Our Children Are and Will Become
From the journal of Duo Maxwell 8-4-203AC
It's been five years now. I kept meaning to start this
for you. Can you forgive me Faith? Ah, you probably already did. Anyway, by the
time you read this you probably know all about what Bella said when you and
Karl were babies. You also know how right she was about your powers.
I'd always noticed little things. You never seemed surprised by anything. I
never made much of it until you were three. You probably know this story, but
I'm going to write it down anyway. Who knows? You may need the record one-day.
We were at a party at your Uncle Wufei's house. He
and your Aunt Sally had just announced their engagement. You toddled in and
smiled up at Sally. Well I kind of knew that look in your eyes. I think that
was what lessoned the shock when you laid your little hand on Sally's tummy and
said "Baby" then toddled off.
I wish I could have seen Sally's face a week later when she found out she was
pregnant with Koneko. You were the first to know.
That was when Heero insisted for the millionth time I
have you tested. I'm glad I finally caved in.
Who would have thought my little princess is a full-blown clairvoyant? I sure
wouldn't have thought of it.
But lets not dwell in the past. It's the events of
yesterday I have to write you about.
The fifth birthday of you and that little partner in crime of
yours. How a child of Heero Yuy's could get into so much mischief, I can only account
to the Maxwell influence. But really I don't think for a minute he regrets
raising the two of you together. Without your mom I needed the help. We were
both single fathers. Sure your Aunt Relena helped
when she could, but between her duties as Queen of Cinq
and Vice Foreign Minister, there just wasn't a lot of time for you kids. But
never doubt she loves both of you.
Now back to the real topic here. Your birthday party. Your
Uncle Quatre is a God sent sometimes. I'll always be
in his debt for letting us have the party at his place. With so many kids
coming and all, I wasn't sure they would all fit at our house. But I'll admit I
was skeptical about inviting the Mads (1). Still, you
are the birthday girl, so we did like you asked.
Hey, wait a sec. You knew what they were bringing didn't you? Stop laughing at
your father. I know your laughing at me. You planed that didn't you? Little
scamp. I think you've been obsessed ever since I took you out on that mission
the night Karl came to live with us. Heero can be so
right sometimes. It was a bad idea to put in that baby seat.
Anyway, it was fun to see them squirm. They seemed so uncomfortable around all
those kids. I really shouldn't have let you invite G and J over for dinner to
make up for it. When they took you down to the basement hanger to give you your
presents I knew something was up.
Who in their right mind gives five year olds their own Gundams?
I must admit that Ebonyblade and Peacekeeper are
sweet pieces of work, but you know I'll never let you pilot them. Right?…
2BC…

1. Mads = the scientists who made the Gundams. This was just a cute nickname someone else used
somewhere. I really don't remember who or where. Whoever you are I hope you
don't mind.
A/N: Ok. I did a Pov. I hope it's
ok. There may be some more chapters done this way. It just seemed the best way
to get this part out. Moosey went to sleep and I
can't seem to wake him up. Oh well. C&C loved.
