Serena winces in pain on the medical bed in the hospital. Heero is by her side and she is squeezing his hand. "Make it go away!!"
Heero is trying to pry her hand off his so he can get some blood flowing to his hand. She squeezes it even harder. Heero is kneeling beside her now. "Serena!! Just hang in there!!"
She stares at him. "How the hell do you expect me to do that?!?"
With her other hand she slaps his face. "Damnit!! Why the hell did I get pregnant?!? That's all we need in this world is another Heero!! AHHHHHH!!!!!"
The doctor is sitting at the end trying to tell her what to do, but she's not listening. Heero tries to back up, but Serena pulls him closer to her and she punches him in the gut. "You asshole!! This is all your fault!! Get the hell away from me!!!"
Heero looks at the nurses around them. "Will someone PLEASE give her the drugs?!?!?!!??!"
"I don't need drugs!!!"
Finally she hears the doctor. "Push, Serena!!"
She does so and they start to hear a baby crying. Serena is still sitting straight up in her bed. The nurses have taken the baby to clean it. Serena squeezes Heero's hand more tightly. "Why is the pain still there???"
The doctor bends back down. "You have to push again, Serena."
She starts to push and more baby's cries can be heard. When she sees the baby in the doctor's arms she leans back. Heero has his hand back to himself and he watches the nurses clean the babies. Serena opens her eyes and looks around. "Where are they??"
A nurse walks over to her and hands her two babies. One is wrapped in a blue blanket and the other is in a pink one. "They're twins, a boy and a girl."
Serena stares at her two children, but mainly the little girl. The girl has tiny strains of silver hair and bright blue eyes. "This one is Rini..."
Heero has his eyes on the little boy. "What about him?"
Serena hands Heero the boy. "You should name him."
He cradles the little boy in his arms. He has small brown hair and dark blue eyes like his sister. Heero remembers the time how he first met Duo and how Duo had rescued him from the hospital. He walks around to the other side of Serena. "We should call him Duo."
Serena just looks up at him strangely and sighs. "If that's what you want."
"After all... I owe it to him."
Later that day Serena and the healthy babies were let out of the hospital and they went back to the shrine. Serena is upstairs sleeping and Heero is sitting in the living room with the babies. Duo is all over the little boy. "Why did you name him after me?"
"It was the first name that had popped into my head."
"Yeah right."
Dorothy had already gone back to Quatre's mansion while Trowa and Lita were visiting them at the shrine. Heero looks up at Trowa while he holds Rini. "Why didn't Quatre come?"
"He has his own problems with Dorothy. He won't be coming out of the house for awhile."
"Why doesn't he just tell her off."
"Because he's not like that."
The doorbell rings and Sasami answers it. "Hello."
Hotaru is standing outside with her head down. "Hi."
"Hotaru!! I'm so happy to see you!!"
Sasami hugs Hotaru and she laughs. "It's nice to see you to Sasami."
They walk back into the house and Sasami leads them into the living room. "Looks who's here!"
They each say hello and Hotaru looks at the little girl in Heero's arms. "Is that the baby?"
He nods his head and he lets Hotaru hold her. "We named her, Rini."
Hotaru doesn't say anything. Tenchi and Ayeka were sitting across from Heero. They just looked up at her. Hotaru finally spoke. "She's my friend."
Washu and Wufei were in the lab talking. Wufei had never showed up for his date with Ryoko. So he expects to be killed any minute. Washu was drinking tea while she was working on her computer. The two guardian cats were watching her very closely. Luna got in front of Washu. "If you make these adjustments in the arm..."
Luna started to type. "This way, Wufei's gundam will be able to have a small laser cannon."
He looks up at them. "No one is touching my gundam."
Artemis jumps into Wufei's lap. "Someone needs to protect the princess since most of the scouts are gone."
"I'm already protecting someone else."
"Relena isn't going to be queen forever."
"When she is relieved of her duties then you can call me."
Artemis sighs and Washu starts to type again. "Who cares? I still want to work on your gundam."
"Leave Nataku alone!!"
"Nataku doesn't want to be weak like you, so I'm going to make her stronger."
Wufei mumbles. "Damn..."
Washu just chuckles and goes back to work. "Piece of cake."
Back at Quatre's mansion... Dorothy is on her knees in front of Quatre. "Please????"
"No, Dorothy. I can't give you that kind of money."
"Don't you love me at all??"
"Dorothy you're a good person, but well..."
"But OZ needs the money!! We don't have enough to get the base started again!!"
Tears fill her eyes and Quatre just looks down at her. "Alright, but Dorothy please!! Stay away!!"
She stands up and puts her arms around him. "Thank you so much, Quatre!"
She walks out of the room and he can hear her voice. "Just wire it to the base..."
Quatre sits down in his chair and covers his face with his hands. Small tears slip through them. "Why me?!?!"
He shakes his head and sighs. "I can't believe I just said that! I'm such a mean person!"
Lita is helping Sasami cook dinner. "So, have you heard from Kiyone at all?"
"No, but I know that she will be coming down for the wedding."
"Amy is getting some time off from school so she can come to the wedding to."
"What about Mina?"
"Yep. She's coming to."
Raye walks into the kitchen with Wufei. "It smells good."
Wufei just rolls his eyes and pays no attention to them at all. Raye looks at him. "Wufei, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
She keeps starring at him. "Alright!! I don't like you that much anymore!!"
Everyone is shocked. Wufei just turns around and leaves. Raye sighs and walks up next to Lita and starts to chop carrots. "Oh well..."
Lita looks at her. "Is that all you have to say?"
"I knew he was going to dump me sooner or later. I'm not blind."
"Then why didn't you dump him first?"
"I don't know... It was fun..."
"Have any ideas why he dumped you?"
"He likes Washu."
Lita closes her eyes and keeps on chopping the vegetables. "I really envy you now, Raye."
"Why??"
"Because you didn't freak when he did that."
"I'm older now and I have to live with the facts. Life does go on."
"I guess you're right."
Raye looks over at her. "What about you and Trowa?"
"Us? Well I really don't know... The other day he said he wanted to brake it off."
"Did he say why?"
"No, but it doesn't bother me. I was thinking I would go back with Ken."
"That's good..."
One month later...
Everyone *including Dorothy for some odd reason* was Quatre's mansion getting ready for the wedding that would happen tomorrow. Quatre had a bachelor party set up for Heero later that night while the women would go to the shrine to have a late baby shower... Quatre is already bringing out glasses of wine. He hands a glass to Heero and he gladly takes it. Quatre shivers. "Why did Dorothy have to come?"
"Take a wild guess..."
"I'm not giving her any more money..."
"That's what you think."
"Do you want to make a bet on that?!!?"
Heero grabs the glass from Quatre. "The party hasn't even started! Slow down!"
Heero drinks Quatre's wine. "If she does ask, just tell her you are sick of her begging and kick her out of your house."
"Right."
He looks around the room. "Who invited her?"
Heero just chuckles. "I didn't."
"This is my chance... Serena didn't invite her, did she?"
"Not that I know of."
Quatre has an evil grin on his face. 'This is my chance...'
He walks over to Dorothy and taps her on the shoulder. "Hello, Quatre!!"
"Dorothy... Were you invited to the wedding?"
She's stunned by his sudden comment and she folds her hands and looks at her feet. "Well... No, but I..."
Quatre cuts her off. "Then you better be going."
"What?? Why???"
"Because. These people are here for the wedding and you are not."
"But..."
He puts a hand over her mouth and starts to push her out the door. She gets outside and he looks at her. "Bye bye!"
Quatre slams the door in her face and she starts to bang on it. "You can't do this to me!!! Quatre!! You asshole!! You have no right!!"
He just brushes off his hands and walks back into the room. Everything is silent. "Well, ladies! I believe you're party is at the shrine! You may use the back door to exit."
The women crowd out of the mansion into the limos that Quatre had set up for them. Duo looks around. "Relena never showed up."
Heero nods. "That's right."
"You did invite her, didn't you?"
"Sadly... I did."
Quatre grabs the bottle of wine and pours himself a glass. "Alright, Duo!! Turn on the music!!!"
Duo walks over to the huge entertainment system and he turns on the music. It blast through the speakers and he is pleased. The song, 'Can't Touch This' comes on. Duo jumps on the coffee table and starts to dance. "Yeah! Can't touch this!! Come on, everybody!! Let's dance!!"
Wufei walks into the kitchen and then comes back with a couple of beers. "Wine is for weaklings."
He tosses one to Heero and Trowa. Treize and Milliardo don't say anything since they are the ones who are drinking most of the wine. Tenchi was going to stay sober through out the party. Wufei tosses a beer to Duo and amazingly he catches it. "Thanks Wu-man!!"
"Don't call me that!!"
Duo jumps off the table and walks over to Quatre. "Now all we need is a stripper..."
"No way! Heero will shoot our heads off."
Heero hears the conversation. "That's right..."
Duo makes a sad face and pouts. "Heero, you are one weird man."
"I know perfectly well what happens when there are strippers at bachelor parties..."
"Oh really??"
"Yes, and I don't want to go into the details."
Hours later all the guys are sitting in a circle in the living room. Everyone is bored. Duo flips a nickel onto the carpet. "I knew we should have gotten a stripper."
Everyone sighs and doesn't pay any attention to him. Trowa looks up. "Why don't we talk about what's happened recently?"
They each nod their heads. Duo stretches. "Well... Ryoko and I were thinking about getting hitched."
Quatre looks at him. "Are you serious?"
"Yeah, why would I be?"
"What about Hilde?"
"We're through. Besides... Ryoko is way more thrilling to be around. I bet if she wanted to, she could pilot a gundam."
He looks around at Wufei. "What about you, Wu-man?"
"Duo! You really are starting to piss me off!!"
"Get use to it and answer the question!!"
"Fine!!"
"...."
"...."
"Say something!"
"I dumped Raye."
Trowa shakes his head. "Why would you do something like that?"
"Because I like Washu more."
"What ever happened to Trista? She just disappeared..."
"Her work got in the way."
Wufei looks at Quatre who is starring at Trowa. He rolls his eyes and sits up. "Quatre, what else has happened besides Dorothy?"
Quatre is startled and he stops starring. "Well... Not much really."
Duo snickers. "What about Hotaru?"
"Duo! She's kind of young!!"
"So?!?! She was hanging all over you tonight before the party!"
"I don't think anything will happen between us."
"You're such a geek."
Quatre looks at Treize. "What about you and Mihoshi?"
"She's a little strange, but there's something about her that I like."
"Do you plan on getting married anytime soon?"
"I've thought about asking her..."
"Tomorrow night at the reception would be perfect timing."
Duo looks up. "Do you even have an engagement ring?"
"I'm Treize Kushrenada... I'm always prepared."
Treize looks at Trowa who likes like he is about to fall asleep. "What ever happened to Lita, Trowa?"
"I dumped her."
"And why?"
"I don't know. She's very self involved and I'm not into that relation crap."
Duo just shakes his head. "You're one messed up guy, Trowa."
Quatre has turned happy very suddenly and he grabs the bottle of wine from Treize. "Thank you!"
He starts to drink from the bottle and Treize smacks him. "What's wrong with you?! That's disgusting!!"
He hands him a glass and Quatre starts to pour it. Trowa isn't pleased by the little game they had just started, but he decides to play along. "Have you married Kiyone yet, Milliardo."
"I would have told you if I did."
"So you haven't?"
"No. I've decided to wait awhile."
"Good for you. It's never good to rush things."
Heero gives Trowa his death glare. "Are you saying I rushed things?"
"No, but in a way you did."
"She wanted to get married and so did I!!"
Trowa stays silent. Tenchi is in the corner minding his own business when Duo looks at him. "Tenchi rushed things also."
"I did not!!"
"Yes you did!!"
"I knew Ayeka from before!!"
"Yeah, right..."
Tenchi sits back down and goes silent. The front door opens and all the women step in. Serena is carrying bags of presents that the other women had given here. "We're back!!"
Tenchi stands up and walks to the door to greet Ayeka. Ayeka hugs him. "Did you guys get bored?"
"No..."
Duo falls to the ground. "That was the worst bachelor party I have ever been to..."
Heero gets up and kicks his stomach. "It's was a normal bachelor party!!!"
Duo winces in pain and turns over on his stomach. "There was no stripper!!"
Wufei covers his mouth. "Shut up, Maxwell!!"
He lets go of Duo and they both stand up. Duo rubs the back of his head. "I never thought I would be saying this, but it's INJUSTICE!!"
Heero is trying to pry her hand off his so he can get some blood flowing to his hand. She squeezes it even harder. Heero is kneeling beside her now. "Serena!! Just hang in there!!"
She stares at him. "How the hell do you expect me to do that?!?"
