Chapter 11

Disclaimer: I own nothing! I make no money from this! I just have a deep love and appreciation of these characters. This is my homage to all of these awesome people/characters and the wonderful Gundam Wing Universe.

The original characters in this story however are mine. ;-)

Rated M for a reason!

Picks up right where the last chapter left off.

Relena's eyes lit up and her voice rose several octaves higher as she she seemed to dance into a hug with their female visitor.

Heero just glared at the male visitor.

"Hey there buddy! Long time no see! Although, I think we might be seeing too much of you. Did we interrupt?" Duo winked while laughing boisterously.

Heero rolled his eyes.

"Why are you here Duo?" Heero growled.

Duo produced a 1000 watt smile. "Well, good buddy, I was personally requested by Une to come down and help you with your new security protocol." Duo looked like the cat who had just ate the canary.

Heero knew that he didn't require help with his software and Une knew that as well. No...this was Une's personal revenge for staying home the last two weeks. Heero was sure of it and the fact that Duo was smiling like an even bigger idiot than usual...that only confirmed it.

"Hildi! What are you doing here!?" Relena practically sang.

"Are you kidding?! When Une called Duo down to help Heero...no way was I letting Duo come here without me!"

Relena noticed Storm sleeping through their rather loud conversation.

Hildi was holding her son on her shoulder as he slumbered. Relena was momentarily entranced by his chubby cheeks, baby eyelashes, miniature frame and she found herself itching to hold him.

Hildi watched Relena gaze at her son..."I knew it." Hildi whispered.

Relena looked confused.

"Knew what Hildi?"

"Oh come on Relena...you're pregnant aren't you?"

Relena immediately remembered, even though they were on their property, they were still outside.

Relena quickly ushered the Maxwell family inside as Heero closed the door.

Relena couldn't hide it, she didn't want to hide it.

She was nodding her head in excitement at Hildi.

"Yes, I am..."Hildi let out a squeal of sheer happiness..."but that's not all." Relena continued.

Hildi seemed to stop mid-squeal, waiting on bated breath.

Relena grasped Heero's hand.

"We...are having twins!"

Hildi shrieked and jumped up and down...her son still not waking. Storm slept like his father...like the dead.

"Congrats Princess and way to go there Heero buddy!" Duo said the last part with an air of innuendo aimed at Heero. Heero glared at Duo and Duo only smiled brighter.

Hildi ran up and hugged Relena.

Both women had emotion brimming in their eyes. "Oh Relena! This is incredible! Twins...wow!"

"I know, I passed out when Sally told us." Relena laughed.

Duo walked over to Relena, picking her up and swinging her around in a circle.

"Put her down!" Hildi and Heero yelled at the same time.

Relena laughed as Duo put her down, pecking her on the cheek with his signature smile.

"Duo! Hold your son so I can hug Relena properly."

Duo carefully took his son from Hildi and watched as the two ladies hugged and giggled like school girls.

It was moments like these that Duo couldn't believe he lived to see...he was always so grateful for these moments.

He rubbed his sleeping son's back while eyeing Heero.

He noticed Heero was watching Relena as intently as ever. Heero was never short on intensity, but Duo noticed something else, as if the fierceness with which he protected Relena had grown. While it's not surprising in most men once they start a family...for Duo...he never dreamed Heero's intensity could grow anymore. It was a scary thought for Duo to contemplate.

True to his nature, without taking his eyes off of Relena..."why are staring at me Duo?"

Yep, intensity had increased. Duo thought as he suppressed a shiver.

"Just trying to imagine you as a dad!" Duo laughed so loud that Storm stirred and Hildi threw him an icy glare. Heero was also showing his displeasure with a death glare aimed at him.

Relena however was sending a sympathetic look at the former Deathsythe pilot.

"You should stay here with us, in the guest house! I absolutely insist!" Relena was so giddy the excitement was rolling off of her.

Heero groaned and she gave him a pleading look...he naturally caved. There wasn't anything he could honestly deny her, if it made her happy, he'd walk on hot coals. Although, knowing Duo would be staying with them in their home, as well torturing him at work...that was pretty much the same thing.

"Okay, I think I'm gonna go lay little man down in the guest house."

Duo quickly moved towards the safety of guest house.

Heero had eyes on him as Duo moved through his home.

He was already not looking forward to work tomorrow, now he was dreading it. Damn Une! Heero growled mentally.

Even though Relena was entrenched in conversation with Hildi, Heero's anger did not go unnoticed by her.

"Hildi, would you mind giving Heero and I minute?"

Hildi just nodded, gave a wink and went to find her husband and son.

Relena walked toward her incredibly irritated and incredibly handsome husband, took his hands in her's and gave him a chaste kiss.

"Heero, I know this is not your ideal, but..."Heero silenced her with a more passionate kiss. When he pulled away, he chuckled mentally as he admired the dreamy look on her face. "Relena, I know you've been wishing to have those you care about around you. While I don't relish the idea of having Duo in our house or at work... if it makes you happy, I am happy." He kissed her to seal his words. When he pulled away he noticed the tears in her eyes.

"Heero you're so wonderful, you're so good to me, I love you so much."

Her hormones broke free as her emotions escaped from the ocean of her eyes. He wiped them away with his thumbs as he kissed her again.

"Now go find our guests and I'll order dinner."

"Duo?" Hildi whispered.

Duo was sitting on the bed next to their still slumbering son.

The image warmed her heart.

No matter how silly or ridiculous Duo could be...it was moments like this that reaffirmed her love for him.

One look into those amethyst eyes and she was lost to his charms. The fact that he was such a good father...was just icing on the cake.

"Hildi?" Hildi was so lost in her own head, thinking of her infuriating yet handsome husband, she didn't realize he had moved from the bed and was now standing in front of her with inquisitive eyes.

When he smirked, her arms were encircling his neck before she gave them consent. She brought him towards her and their lips found each other.

Both thinking the same thing -don't wake the baby- they moved together through the bedroom door into the living area of the guest house. Their legs quickly finding the edge of the couch, barely noticing when they fell upon the plush upholstery.

The kiss had turned passionate and hands had started to roam.

"Knock, knock..."

Relena was standing frozen in the doorway with a shocked yet slightly amused expression.

Duo and Hildi had jumped up from the couch, adjusting their clothes.

Heero had walked up behind Relena and deduced just exactly what his wife had walked in on.

Duo had immediately noticed the menacing look Heero was aiming at him and his whole body seemed to shake involuntarily.

"Hey Princess, what's for dinner?" Duo said in hopes of changing the subject.

Relena was giggling quietly. She could feel her husband behind her and she didn't need to turn around to know the look that was gracing his face. The look on Duo's face, along with his desperate attempt to segue into another topic was all the answer she required.

"I've ordered Chinese, like the last time you were in town. Is that acceptable?" Heero spoke with the slightest level of civility.

Heero was aware that Duo and Hildi had christened their guest house before. While he hated the fact, it was nonetheless a fact. However, today...he just didn't need a visual reminder. This was his last day at home with Relena and this just wasn't how he envisioned it.

Everyone nodded their head, opting for non audible responses. Relena was slightly embarrassed about walking in on her friends lusty scene. However, she was relieved it was early in it's inception. Hildi just seem to look only slightly embarrassed but mostly amused, while Duo looked mostly irritated but amused with a hint of fear aimed at Heero. Although taking in the Maxwell's mostly cool demeanor allowed Relena to calm her own flushed cheeks. She was just grateful the scene wasn't more compromising.

Travel from space was especially exhausting for children, so they decided to let Storm sleep. He would like than likely be out for the night, so the Duo and Hildi decided to take that gift.

They set up the baby monitor, and the Maxwell's met the Yuy's in the main house for dinner.

Dinner was a much livelier affair compared to Heero and Relena's usual peaceful evening meal. This was mainly due to the continuous conversation of Relena and Hildi. As well as Duo stuffing his face in between chiming in on the the girl's conversation, Heero was not up for chit chat...Heero was just not the chit chat type of man. Heero seemed to be brooding over his meal, while occasionally aiming particularly menacing glares at Duo...glares Duo actively avoided.

Heero was dreading tomorrow, but at least he still had tonight. He expected that Duo and Hildi would retire back to the guest house after dinner. While he didn't relish the idea of them continuing the unspeakable acts from earlier, at least they would be out of his house and he would have the rest of the evening with his wife. The thought slightly bringing him out of his sour mood.

As they were finishing dinner, Relena's office phone rang. As if programmed, Relena immediately excused herself. She walked briskly to her office, knowing that it could be important. Very few had her office home number.

Relena hurriedly answered before checking who was calling.

"Hello Miss Relena."

Relena froze, that voice was unmistakable.

As the video cleared a very coiffed and styled Dorothy Catalonia Winner appeared on her screen. She was sporting her trademark eyebrows along with her usual smirk...the one that always made you think she knew your deepest darkest secrets. And today was no different.

"Dorothy! Hello, how are you?"

"I think the question is how are you?"

Even through the phone Relena could feel the implication in Dorothy's voice.

"What do you mean Dorothy? Im fine."

"Oh Miss Relena, I know you've been out of the office for while now and I'm rather curious as to why? I am concerned." She said with a smile lingering between sweet and mischievous. "I am calling to inquire if I could come visit you?"

Relena could feel her eyes grow large at the question, she honestly didn't mind a visit from Dorothy. However, she knew a certain soldier would absolutely mind. Dorothy was staring at her with such intent and even concern that she found herself speaking before she could stop herself.

"Of course Dorothy, you know you're welcome anytime!"

Dorothy was pleased with this answer which was made evident by the blinding smile she produced. A smile that suddenly had Relena feeling rather nervous.

"Marvelous! I thought you might say that, and that's why are here.

"Here?! You're here?!" Relena found her voice uncharacteristically rise as she nearly ran to her office window that overlooked the front of the estate.

Sure enough, there in the circle drive sat Dorothy's trademark gold limousine.

The Winners had arrived.

Haha! Oooooh Heero definitely won't like this turn of events! But let's face it Dorothy makes everything more interesting.
