Chapter Thirty-Five

July 21st, Year XXX9

Location: United States

Place: Pomona, Texas

By 9PM, the families began to head home. Janice and Lana's family were he first to go before Taylor's family and the Maxwell family were the last to leave. Heero have taken Relena to bed since she fell asleep on the sofa after chatting with Hilde and the other wives for hours. Gwen stepped out the patio and saw Owen and Don began cleaning up the backyard, she picked up a large black trash bag and approached them.

"That was a lot of fun." Gwen said with a huge smile. "I can't wait until the next time. Owen, those bake apples were divine, please, teach me next time."

Owen grinned. "Thank you and of course, I'll show you just how my mentor showed me." He looked around the backyard. "Where's your sister?"

Gwen laughed. "She's fast asleep on the living room floor. Dad's coming back down to get her once he settles Mom to bed. It's the marshmallows, baked apples and the steaks that got her. Then there was the food challenges with Taylor and the ice creams…"

"Food coma." Don and Owen said, synchronized and a huge grin on their face.

"Those are the best. Food comas." Owen laughed, he nudged Don with his elbow. "Remember those days where we and guys would go to buffets? Those are the best time we had."

Don nodded his head before picking up empty plastic cups off the picnic table when Heero exit the house, Duo behind him. Heero approached them while Duo headed toward the garage. "Gwen, sweetheart, do you mind putting a blanket over your sister? Uncle Duo and I have something to do in the garage, you can head to bed afterwards. I'll take her up to her room afterwards."

"Sure, Dad." Gwen smiled sweetly at her Father.

"If you don't mind, sir, I'll talk the little Princess up to her room." Don offered.

Heero stared at Don for a good second, debating before he made a decision and then he turned to Gwen. "Gwen, help Owen clean up until Don comes back and please go to bed afterwards." Heero turned to the boys. "Join us when you're done."

"Yes, sir." Don and Owen nodded their heads.

Owen opened his trash bags and dumped the waste that's on the table when Don tied his close before walking away toward the house. Leaving the two who snickered and giggled behind him. Once inside, Don made his way toward the living room where he found Rhea sleeping on her side facing the television that is currently showing Lord of the Rings. He smiled as he walked around the sofa to get closer to her, bending down and gently moving her to position before picking her up bridal-style as he carried her up the stairs to her room. Her long hair have gotten loose throughout the whole event and it danced behind her like a curtain, even though the twins reflect each other, he could always tell the difference between them.

'Seriously, since when did it started?' Don thought to himself, he was glad that Rhea's bedroom door was wide open that he just walk right in. Carefully placing her on the bed, he pulled back the sheets from under her and covered her with it. When he took a step back and look down on her, her hair fanned out and it made Don smile. 'She's going to be a heartbreaker…' He walked toward the door and closed it behind him when he came face to face with Gwen whose eyes shining with curiosity and at the same time, very sleepy. He smiled at her. "She's fast asleep and you should be too, little Queen."

Gwen smiled back at him and nodded her head. "Everything is cleaned and put away so Owen already joined Father and Uncle Duo in the garage. Goodnight, Don." She walked passed him without another word toward her room. 'He didn't even stay long. I guess no goodnight kiss or anything but seeing him carry Rhea up the stairs like a princess is very sweet.' She smiled to herself. 'There's always a next time…'

Donovan climbed down the stairs in twos; only paused to turn off the television, checked the lock on the front door and all the windows before heading toward the backyard through the patio and made his way to the garage. Heero's office is located below the stairs to the second floor, roomy enough for six people so there's a lot of leg room and it is very organized unlike a lot of mechanics garages, being an ex-soldier helps and sufficient with an amazing 60 inch flat screen TV attached to a computer matted to the wall. When Don walked in, Heero nodded his head and pulled out a manila envelope from his desk drawer. The Perfect soldier mode returned and no one made a sound.

"These are the names, locations and industries that the Morge groups controls." Heero opened the folder and take out its contents; a small USB drive, pictures with: names, ranks and numbers. He had to growl when he recognize a few faces among the pile. "These are old enemies from the Operation Meteors and few are unknown but very much public aristocrats and government officials. There are a total of twenty-four members of Morge and unlimited resources due to money and power."

Donovan and Owen moved closer, the pair recognized one of them. They both look at each other and frowned. Donovan spoke. "Sir, the commanding officer, number two is George Corvet Manning. A Cuban-American decent, he runs a multiple illegal operation underground. Drugs, weapons, organ trafficking and human trafficking. Boss, he is also known to have some sort of obsession for young women." Don grunted. "We cornered him in Africa three years ago when he kidnapped Senator Dorman's fifteen year old daughter, we successfully retrieve her from a buyer who was about to…" Donovan paused. "Do the deed when we burst in but Manning has already fled the scene using an underground transportation, we haven't had much luck since."

"Trowa and Quatre got some dirt on this duce bag, Heero, you're not going to like it." Duo warned, he picked up the USB drive and insert on the computer, the flat screen tv came to life with a push of a button. Like Heero, Wufei is very diligent with his files and Duo just simple clicked file 2 for Manning. A ton of files opened up pictures of young girls; red X symbols indicate that they were dead, gray shades means unknown and colored means who the next victim would be which Heero's eyes widen and anger washed through him. Duo continued, he grinned his teeth and hissed. "We have word who his next victim would be…"

On the screen, her smile bright and wearing her Sanq Academy Uniform is no other than his first baby girl. "It's Gwen…" Heero rolled his hand into a fist, eye darken with anger and voice filed with venom. "He would dare try to lay a hand on her."

"Heero, Manning's a very possessive sort. He either sells the girls, play with them awhile before tossing them or for keeps." Duo said, he scrolled down on Gwen's image and few instructions, timelines and whereabouts of the young girl's daily activity which gave Heero the idea that they've been monitoring her for a while. "He plans on keeping her like a pet which a lot of these girls whose whereabouts are also kept by him. The problem is, we've gone through all of his mansions all over the world and we couldn't find them at all, he have other locations but kept secret. We can't hack them down."

Heero was quite, he scrolled up and down Gwen's file and he memorized each and every detail. "He planned on kidnapping her months ago but that plan failed since Gwen decided to come to camp, look at the dates which match the timeline of the event and they switched it around when she returned home but did not take actions because if they did and if they have succeeded at that time…."

Realization kicks in and Donovan's eyes widen in shock and fear. "It won't be Gwen they would have kidnapped." He balled his hand into a fist. "They would have gotten Rhea …"

"Our spies who are in the organization reported that none of them have realized that Gwen has a twin but Heero…" Duo clicked another file that is colored black with a 'Manning Top Secret' written on it. "Manning knows…"

"What!?" Heero's worst fear surface. "What do you mean he knows?"

"Manning knows about Rhea." Duo opened the file and pictures after pictures flowed out. They were snap shot from camp and a picture of Gwen and Rhea plastered on the screen. They were sitting on the edge of the dock, smiling and holding hands as they chatted. "He had Gwen followed. Manning is aware of Rhea since they met in camp but did not share this information with the rest of the organization from the file, he plans on kidnapping the twins without William Quinton, who is the leader by the way, knowing about it or even approve of it. This is all Manning's idea. Quinton won't harm Gwen because he know that if she gets hurt, Relena will retaliate but Manning has other idea. He wants to make it look like any rich-kid kidnapping for ransom but he isn't planning on giving her back. Look at this…" He scrolled on Rhea's file. "He plans on doing the same to Rhea but he got no idea where she is so we have the upper hand on that, I know this angers you but you need to calm down and think this through properly."

Heero did not reply, he was just too angry to even really pay attention to what Duo just said and his instincts rampage of how to deal with Manning but he also knew better than burst in into a situation blind. He leaned back on his chair, closed his eyes and meditate by taken a few easy breaths. The others around him just waited, Donovan couldn't help but follow his lead by forcing himself to calm down. After a few minutes, Heero reopened his eyes and it was dark which told them that what's coming next.

"Next week Friday, we will be preparing to mobilize to move out. Do your best to act as normal as possible, my girls are sharp as needle's. The rest of the Wing Squad will be arriving by Wednesday that next week and all of you will be transporting the girls to our Korea safe house in Busan, I'm sure you boys remember where that is. Duo and the others will transport their children on their own before you so you and your group will be the last ones to arrive." Heero look at Duo. "Lux and Hayden will transport your kids. So they should be ready to leave once they get here. Trowa and Quatre are going to escort their own children I assume?"

"Along with Wu-man and Zech's children. They'll make their way over here once they drop them off safely." Duo said. "Which leaves us Greg and Jericho as extra protection for the girls."

"Good, we are going to need aliases and passports for everyone." Heero said, he turned to Donovan. "As leader of the Wing Squad, you are not only responsible for your men but the lives entrusted to you. Every single one of them are precious but always remember, that your life matters too."

For the second time that night, along with Owen this time. Donovan went into soldier mode and saluted Heero. "Yes, sir!"

Once their meeting is over, Duo went home and Heero made his final checkup around the first floor of his house before heading up the stairs. He checked on Rhea first since her room is near the stairs, then Gwen before making his way toward the bedroom he now share with his wife. His heart stopped when he opened the door and found Relena gone but he heard the toilet being flushed and the sink running from the bathroom, he let out a sigh of relief. The door was slightly opened, streaming the light through the crack, knocking first before pushing it wide open. Revealing his wife sitting on the closed lid toilet with her hand on her stomach and the other on her mouth. She looked up, her eyes shining and Heero didn't need her to uncover her mouth to reveal that beautiful smile. He walked up to her and kneeled, placing his own hand on her stomach. "It's meant to be."

Relena then uncovered her mouth, she giggled and pressed her forehead against his. "Yes, I believe that and I am very happy."

"Me too." Heero said with a sigh. "Next week, it's going to be one hell of a battle. I don't want anything happen to you…" Heero paused and then added. "To the both of you…"

"I know but there's nothing else we can do. We can continue living like this." Relena said, she placed her free hand on top of Heero's. "We went through life without each other. They robbed our girls from their parents but we must fight that this little one doesn't go through that. I refuse to spend another decade without you, Heero, I won't."

"Relena, I don't either." Heero sighed, he moved to kiss her forehead. "Paris Senator William Quinton is the ring leader of Morge…"

Relena gasped. "No way, really? That insolent man! He tried to corner me last year annual weapon-banned gala to convince me that weapons are used as sign of protection and he wanted to take me out to dinner but I refused, I remember feeling disgusting after that two minute conversation." She leaned back a little, feeling disgust. "That slime…"

"Relena, his right hand man is George Corvet Manning." Heero simply said which earned him a gasp of horror from Relena. "You know of him?"

"Who doesn't? He kidnap poor Alliyah Dorman, demand ransom but he didn't even return her once he received his payment. Manning SOLD poor Alliyah and if it wasn't for the squad…" Relena tear up. "Heero, the poor girl was traumatized. She refused to go to school, locked herself inside her room and for a while refused to eat. Poor Lance, he was beyond himself with worry, he even went and took a whole year off from office and allow his assistant to go on his behalf with him working at home. After a while, Alliyah came around and she's happy again."

"Manning knows about Rhea since she and Gwen met at camp…" Heero watched the shock and fear sweep through Relena's expression. "Baby, he ordered for their capture."

Relena suddenly stood up, her color turned completely pale that Heero was afraid she might faint but instead, his wife was very angry and it was rare to see. "He dares lay a hand on our daughters, he got another thing coming! Dangerous or not, he won't get his claws on them. Don't let him near our girls Heero, promise me!"

"I promise." Heero swore, he slowly got into his feet, place both his hands on her shoulders. "We have the best squad we could ever ask for and we are a lot smarter than they are."

"What is your plan of action Heero…?" Relena asked simply.

Heero was no fool. He wasn't born yesterday. Nor is he stupid enough to allow his wife to be in the dark when not only her life, their daughters' lives that are at stake but also to their unborn child that is only a month old inside its mother's womb. So he opened his mouth to speak and told her their plan of actions after the next week is over.

The next morning…

Gwen woke up and rolled out of bed, she fixed the sheets and changed her clothes. She realized that her parents and sister are still fast asleep so we climbed down the stairs and made her way to the kitchen. The dogs were sleeping under the table, they woke up at the smell and sight of her and made their way to the patio door to be let out. Gwen complied and opened the patio door, she closed and locked it before going to the kitchen. 'Omelets for breakfast…'

She opened the fridge and got all the ingredients she needed. Bowls and utensils from the cupboard and drawers when she realized that Rhea have come down and dressed to join her. "Omelets?"

"Sounds good to me." Rhea yawned. "I ate too much candy…"

"Stomach, ok?" Gwen asked as she cracked a bunch of eggs into the bowl. "Will you cut some bacon and sausages for me?"

"Stomach is fine." Rhea walked over to the counter and took out the cutting board and a knife. "Yesterday was so much fun." She opened the fridge and found the leftover cooked steaks. "Forget the bacon and sausage. Steak omelet."

"Oohhh…" Gwen grinned, nodding her head. "That sounds even better. Cut them up. Mom would love it."

"I can't believe Mom ate four steaks on her own and four more not even two hours later. Total of eight." Rhea said, astonishment in her voice. "I ate three. They were huge."

"Me too, three was enough. Your right, Dad got a bigger portion too since the ones I ate back in Sanq was a little smaller so I ate tons back then." Gwen mixed in some salt and pepper on the eggs. "Dad knows his steaks."

"He sure does." Rhea started cutting the steaks. "I expected to wake up in the living room this morning but I guess Dad took me upstairs. He sometimes lets me sleep down here but mostly, he carries me back up."

"Dad didn't take you upstairs." Gwen replied with a smile.

"Mom?" Rhea continued cutting. "Because I doubt you did."

"Don did." Gwen stopped whisking to turn her head to look at her sister, she grinned when she found her frozen and eyes widen in shock. "Dad and Uncle Duo went into the garage to discuss something. Owen and I cleaned up the backyard while you were sleeping. Don offered to tuck you in and Dad allowed it. It was so sweet, he picked you up like a Princess, I mean, you are one but it was just so romantic. Rhea, you didn-!"

Rhea was crimson, she curled into a ball and screamed silently. Gwen wanted to laugh but couldn't so she did the best thing. "Hey, those steaks won't cut themselves you know and I would like to cook before Mom and Dad wakes up. Rhea, get moving."

"He carried me and I didn't notice." Rhea whined, she made little circles on the floor with her finger. "I must have snored."

"You didn't and before you start, no, you didn't droll either." Gwen said, she playfully poked her sister with her foot. "Hurry it up, you should go and wake the boys up too so you can thank Don for his service."

"Nooooooo!" Rhea covered her face, embarrass.

"Rude." Gwen smirked. "He carried you to your room and put you to bed. The least you can do is thank the boy. Now come on, you know I'm right." The older twin poked the younger one again. "Rhea. Rhea. Rhiannon!"

"I know! I get it!" Rhea stood up and pouted. "So embarrassing."

Gwen then laughed. "Oh, it's not that bad at all." They moved quicker now. "Anyway, if we finish the first batch, let's take it to Mom and Dad so they can have breakfast in bed."

"Sound great." Rhea went to work then. "Let's do that."

Half an hour later, they both carried a tray of food upstairs. Coffee, orange juice, two pieces of toast and a nice size steak omelet. When they reached the door, it opened before they could knock and Heero stood shirtless in the doorway. The Father of two – soon to be three, still a secret – smiled. "What's this?"

"Breakfast in bed!" The twin said in synchronized tone of enthusiasm.

"Breakfast in bed? How lovely is that?" Relena sat up on the bed, a huge smile on her face. "Is that omelet?"

"Steak omelet." Rhea said, she looked up to her Dad. "With lots of cheese and vegetables."

"Amazing." Heero picked up both trays from the girls. "Thank very much for your hardwork."

"You're welcome." Gwen took her sister's hand. "While you guys eat up here, the rest of us will be downstairs. Come, Rhea, you have to go wake up the boys."

"Hey, after breakfast, we're finishing the tree house for Monday." Heero called out before the girls reached the stairs.

"Ok!" The twins replied together before they heard the door closed.

Once downstairs, Gwen went to work. "Go wake them up and please feed the dogs on the way."

"Gwen, you're only a few minutes ahead of me you know." Rhea pouted. "Your being bossy."

"A few minutes ahead is a few minutes ahead." Gwen stuck out her tongue. "I love you and plus, I'm being polite."

Rhea rolled her eyes. "Ok. Ok, you have a point." She walked over to the patio and opened the door, the dogs rushed in and straight to their bowls. "Spoiled…" She walked over to the food storage and brought out the bag of dog food, she used a measuring cup to fill their bowls. "There, you hungry wolves." She smiled before heading out the door.

The summer morning is crisp from the night chill as she walked over to the garage. Rhea didn't paused as she entered and walked up the stairs, she knocked on Owen's door first but there was no answer so she turned to knock on Donovan's but the door suddenly opened and revealed the boy himself. 'EK!' Rhea freaked out mentally.

Donovan looked wide awake and alert, when he realized who it was, he smiled. "Good morning."

"G-good morning." Rhea replied. "Gwen's making breakfast, she said to come join us but Owen didn't answer his door."

"Owen gets into a food coma after every event. He ate more after our meeting with your Dad last night." Donovan said, he leaned against the frame and crossed his arms. "I'll wake him."

"Thank you, we will see you in a minute then." Rhea turned to leave but stopped, she turned her head with a smile. "Thank you for carrying me up to my room last night, Gwen told me."

Donovan gave her one of his rare smile. "Anytime." He then suddenly moved, reaching toward her to tuck a loose hair behind her ear. "I like it when you let your hair loose, makes you look even prettier." He then took a step back inside his room. "I'll wake up Owen in a minute, we will see you in a few minutes." He repeated what she said before closing the door.

Leaving a very crimson Rhea as she walked down the stairs and back into the house. Gwen was finishing up when she entered and saw her sister's expression. "What happened?"

"They're on the way." Rhea replied when she sat down on the chair.

"You look even more embarrass before you went over there." Gwen said, she examine her sister's face. "What did he say?"

"He said that he likes it when I let my hair down." Rhea said, she played with her bangs. "I don't know what to do."

Gwen smiled. "Let it loose or braid it, we are going work on the tree house today." She remind her. "It summer too." For a good minute Rhea didn't reply, so Gwen looked back at her. "What's the matter?"

"…" Rhea blushed scarlet. "Will you braid my hair before we start working?"

Gwen laughed. "Sure."
