Chapter ten Gundam

Everyone settled around the kitchen table with an uneasy silence.

"What a waste," sighed Meg, looking at all the food left on the table.

"No worries. With Duo around, the food will be gone in no time," smiled Quatre.

"That's true he does love to eat," laughed Meg.

"Can't help I'm always hungry." pouted Duo.

"That's for damn sure," replied Meg with a smirk.

Seeing where all this was going, Wufei decided to stir the conversation in a different direction.

"So, what are we going to do?" he asked.

"There's not much we can do but wait," replied Heero.

"I don't like this," stated Quatre. "I feel so helpless. Just waiting to see what they are going to do next."

"I know how you feel. But what else is there for us to do?" asked Duo.

Silence came again over the group. Seth slowly walked into the kitchen.

"Momma, I'm scared," cried Seth.

"Oh sweetie. Come here. Everything is gonna be alright," smiled Meg, motioning for him to come over to her.

She gathered him in her arms and glanced at Heero, who smiled.

"No matter what it takes, I am going to keep Seth from harm. I don't care if I have to fight to do it," stated Meg with a sad smile.

"Hopefully it will not come to that," said Trowa with a reassuring smile.

"Well the way it's looking, that is my only option," muttered Meg.

"It's strange really," said Wufei with a thoughtful look.

Heero raised his eyebrow asking, "What's strange?"

"Why Meg?" replied Wufei. "Why her and not any of us? We're all ex-pilots."

"I see your point," stated a slightly confused Quatre.

"I know why," said Meg softly with her head down.

"Do tell us. We're all ears." smiled Duo.

"Doubt that," replied Meg with a smile. "But anyways. I am the only one of us that has fought all five of the Shuffle Alliance, so I defeated all but one of them."

"That shouldn't really matter," stated Quatre as he started cleaning the kitchen.

"Actually it makes a lot of sense, now that I think about it. She is the best one to put in the Gundam Fight," said Heero with a worried expression.

"I guess they figure, that even now, after all this time, I have the best chance beating the five," sighed Meg as she stood to leave. "Seth and I are going to lay down."

"Okay. We'll make sure everything is cleaned up," smiled Duo.

Meg smiled and moved towards the room they were staying for the time being.

"Momma, is daddy going to lay down with us too?" asked a sleepy Seth.

Meg stopped dead in her tracks and looked to Heero for help. He looked to not be fairing any better, shock was written all over his face.

Duo moved over to Heero and leaned over to whisper something. "Go ahead and go with them. You have a lot of catching up to do."

With a smile, Duo pushed Heero towards Meg and Seth.

"No worries, the three of you relax a while. We'll clean up the kitchen," grinned Duo.

"Looks like he is, love." said a slightly shocked and confused Meg.

"Yay! Daddy!" exclaimed Seth reaching for Heero.

Heero just smiled and took Seth as he motioned for Meg to lead the way.

"I'm really glad they can be together again," smiled Quatre. "They deserve to be happy."

"That they do," agreed Wufei.

"Just wish it was under better circumstances," sighed Trowa.

"True, but we will just have to make sure they stay together this time around," smiled Quatre.

"They better. I hate to see what would happen if they split again," shuddered Duo.

In Meg's Bedroom

"You know that you didn't have to come lay down with us." whispered Meg.

"I know, but I wanted to. I haven't had the chance to really be a father with Seth," replied Heero as he placed Seth on the bed.

"I know but you don't have to do anything that makes you uncomfortable. You do know that right?"

"Yes I know that. I want to be here with the two of you," stated Heero as he got onto the bed.

"Glad to know you want to spend time with us. I have really missed you. It hasn't been easier on my own raising Seth, but we managed just fine, I guess," smiled Meg as she laid down beside Seth.

"I am truly sorry for what happened. If I had know what she had done, I would have done something to make it right."

"It's alright everything has turned out for the best. I just hope that nothing will happen this time."

"I am here. This time around i will make sure that nothing happens to you and our son."

"I know that, but so much has happened these past few years I don't know what to think." said Meg as a tear slid down her face. So much had happened in the past few days that she didn't really have time to think.

"Shhhh, everything will work out for the best," smiled Heero while brushing away Meg's tears.

"I really hope so," said Meg with a weak smile.

Heero reached over and placed a kiss on Meg's forehead, then relaxed with his arms around Seth. They both drifted off to peaceful sleep with their arms around their son.

In the Kitchen

"Wow! It's been a wild day," sighed a very tried Duo.

"That it has. It's over, yet we still have to plan dinner and see what everyone else is up to," replied Quatre.

"Damn. I forgot about having a few people over for dinner tonight, crap," spat Wufei

"Yeah. No worries though we will manage. We always do somehow or another." smiled Quatre

"Very true. So who all is coming over tonight?" asked Trowa.

"Just a few people. I think Domon, George, Sai, Argo, and Chibodee," replied Quatre.

"Hopefully they will not ask too many question about the living room and such." shrugged Duo.

"If they do ask questions, will we tell them what truly happened or not?" asked Trowa looking slightly concerned about how to deal with the new pilots.

"Don't know. Have to ask Meg and Heero about that since it mainly deals with what they are going through right now. Even though they know that there is a group after Meg to fight in the tournament," replied Duo with his head down.

"WHAT!" yelled both Quatre and Trowa.
