What is going on folks? Fluffy the Stork here. So as I'm typing this up, I'm currently visiting my grandparents in South Carolina for Christmas and I've managed to find enough material to come up with this chapter. So now that a month has passed, how do the two daughters fare after this time? And as soon as I finish this one I think I'll move on to when they're a few years older, you can only repeat the same age so many times after all. Hope everybody is still enjoying and no matter how late it is, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.


One month had already passed and the two girls were still screaming their small heads off as though they were in the greatest pain that any human could imagine. Heero was a soldier but knew when he had to be delicate and treat an object carefully. He and one of the Peacecraft servants were carrying the twins together through the mansion and trying whatever methods they could of trying to calm them down.

Relena was finally able to return home as her limo drove her to the entry of the Mansion and was able to hear the screaming from there. She entered reluctantly and saw both Heero and Erik carrying the twins still trying to find a way to calm them down. Hours of negotiation and decision making were going to seem like entertainment in comparison to this.

She went up to Erik and told him, "You're free to go Erik. I'll take care of Selena from here."

Trying his best not to show an overabundance of gratitude for being dismissed, Erik thanked, "As you wish my lady." He handed Selena to her mother and still found her every bit as restless as she was entering the mansion. Erik left taking out a handkerchief and made himself appear as though he was about to start dusting the treasures of the mansion, but was really using it to dry the sweat from his brow.

Carrying Selena, Relena asked Heero, "How are you able to handle it for this long?" Obviously she was referring to the length of the twins wailing for the past month. Heero's training as a soldier seemed to be paying off for this much when dealing with such a frequency.

Heero answered, "It's just… a sound."

Relena observed from his reluctance, "Heero you're under as much stress as I am aren't you?"

She was given, "I don't know at this point." Obviously there had to be something under Heero's exterior as always. Relena just couldn't tell if it was that he didn't want to break down in front of his girls of in front of her.

Heero placed little Helena on his shoulder by her stomach and began to pat her back like he was shown several times by Relena. Almost by what seemed to be a miracle among the four, Helena finally stopped crying and began making gurgling sounds. Relena congratulated, "Good work Heero, now Selena should be next."

Heero nodded and searched for a seat for his daughter. As it turned out, his biggest mistake was attempting to sit her down he found the best possible high chair for her. The gurgling sounds she was making stopped only to throw up her white contents all over Heero's uniform. Now messy and seemingly content, Helena was showing signs of happiness that her parents were long hoping for. Heero on the other hand stood unfazed and continued to set her down. He returned to the living room and saw Selena becoming more content in the arms of her mother and was finally letting the crying subside.

Relena took note of Heero's mess and said, "It's a good thing they can only eat baby food. We would have a bigger mess if it was anything else." Not allowing the trouble of being a parent overcome him, Heero lightly rubbed Selena's face and saw her finally achieve a state of peace that she was long asked for.

Needless to say, the quality time Heero and Relena might have been able to spend together on their own after their first month of having their twin daughters was beginning to run dry. The most time together they had was at night time when everyone was asleep and having a final talk before bed. Dressed in light ware than what was required in the day, the two new parents were finally able to prepare themselves for a nights rest.

Finally having a rare moments peace after the twins were asleep, Relena assured, "I'm certain by the time they're three the worst will be over. Do you think you would like to have more children by the time these two have reached that age?"

Heero shrugged, "If it is something you would like, I'd have no problem with it."

Relena reminded, "Really Heero, after four years I think I know you're just treating this like a military scenario."

Heero answered, "It allows us to be prepared for meeting whatever our children have for us doesn't it?

Relena crawled next to him and explained, "Heero your love for our children has to be legitimate. It's not something you assign yourself just to go through and be done with when they grow up."

Heero began to have an idea of what Relena was suggesting and asked, "Like what we felt when they were born. Is that how?" With this he unintentionally opened a point of displeasure for Relena since Heero could not even begin to fathom what she had gone through last month.

Still remembering the pain she had gone through on that labor despite the great prize, Relena retorted, "You obviously felt it. I was just glad the labor was finally done."

Heero reminded her, "You're the one telling me to care for my children in a certain way."

In retaliation, Relena pounced on top of Heero on his right side and they fell onto the bed together. They hugged and laughed at their situation amazed at what they were still able to argue about. Relena assured, "It's our experience that will lead us through Heero. If peace begins with a new generation, then we have a very important responsibility before us."

Heero cupped her cheek and added, "Don't forget that there was a reason we wanted to start this new generation in the first place." The two smiled into each other's faces and smiled at the resolution they had come to. Finally allowing sleep to befall them, they were at last allowed to wander their dreams together… Until two familiar high pitched wails broke the night silence.
