"WHAT!?"

Duo smirked. "Take her to the doctor and have her checked out. If she isn't pregnant then the doctor might be able to help with the mood swings."

"Hold on, what makes you think she's pregnant?"

Duo rolled his eyes. "She has classic symptoms. Morning sickness and mood swings. Hilde was the same way. Has she been craving anything weird to eat lately?"

"No…"

"You don't sound very sure."

"Well…there's nothing really weird about scrambled eggs with grape jelly, is there?"

"Not if you're a college kid with nothing else in the fridge."

"Oh boy." Heero ran a hand through his hair. "Do you think she knows?"

"I'd be willing to guess that she has an idea, but you really ought to take her to a doctor for confirmation."

Heero seemed to be in a bit of a trance. "Yeah…okay."

"Call me when you get the news, okay? If she's not pregnant I'll call you to help out for the next two weeks. Deal?"

Heero nodded and left while Duo chuckled to himself.


Duo was expecting the call later that week. He wasn't expecting it to be Relena on the line, however.

"Hey, Princess. How are things?"

"Heero told me I had to call you."

"Oh? Why would he do that?"

"Because he's not really in a position to do so himself."

"Is everything okay?" Duo was prepared to get Quatre and head over if it was necessary.

"Everything's fine. He said that you told him to make me see a doctor." Duo could hear the glare in Relena's voice.

"Well…yeah. He was concerned about you and wasn't sure how to handle it," Duo told her. Okay, it wasn't exactly the truth but Heero wouldn't have realized it enough to come out and say it like that.

"I wanted to tell you that your hunch was correct."

"Really? Congratulations! So what's wrong with Heero, then?"

"Well…he sort of fainted. The doctors are checking him out as a precaution."

Duo laughed. "You're kidding me. The Perfect Soldier lost it because he found out he was going to be a dad again?"

Relena chuckled. "Well…sort of. I don't think the pregnancy part was that shocking. It was the part where we're having triplets that got him."

"Ha! It's always the bombshells out of left field that throw him off his game. It's good to know that he can still be surprised. You let me know if there's anything you guys need, okay? Do you want to tell Quatre the good news yourself or would you rather I told him?"

"I'll tell him. But I want you to be there when I do so you can tell me all about the look on his face when he finds out!"

"You got it!" Duo hung up and found himself staring out the window at the false sky created by the colony designers. "I guess life's always going to have surprises when you least expect them. Some will be bad but most will be good." He smiled. "I can't wait to see what life has in store."

The End.


A/N: Thank you for reading. Sorry that it took so long to get it all done but I had to tell my muse to pick an ending because every time I thought it was wrapping up the Plot Bunnies would drop off something new and I had to tell it enough was enough. Life will always have new bombshells and really this story could have gone on forever but all things must come to an end and since it was taking so long to get new chapters out, I decided that was a sign this one needed to be done. Now to finish Silent Companion and get started on the other stories the plot bunnies have dropped off...
