Part 16
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks for the reviews and enjoy.
Warning: Heero and Relena are going to discuss their beliefs in God and Heero invites Relena to go to church so you may want to skip over that. It'll be at the end of the chapter.

"You have a sister?" Relena said after five minutes. 'Now he'll be telling me that he has brother and a sweet, old grandmother. Lord, he has too many secrets. I would kill him if he wasn't so cute. Did I just think that?' she thought as she looked at Hannah.
You would never know she and Heero were siblings, they look so different from each other. With her black hair, brown eyes, and pale skin, she looked the opposite of Heero, who brown hair, blue eyes, and peach skin made him look brighter than she. Yet their eyes held the same distant look of someone who had seen more than he or she had bargain for and had done so many things they were a shamed of.
That look is what captivated Relena to Heero in the first place. The look of someone wanting love but deeming themselves too unworthy of such an emotion. Relena want to erase that look from Heero's beautiful face. A look that still returned to his face every now and then.
"Yeah. Um maybe we should sit down," Heero said.
"Alright," Relena said. All three sat down. Hannah spoke first.
"I had no idea you were here. If I had I would have come to you," she said. She and Heero looked at each other with such love that only a brother and sister could share.
"How did you two meet exactly?" Relena asked, killing the moment. Heero and Hannah glared at her slightly.
"She was the leaded singer in that band I told you about. She and I got to talking one night and figured it out," Heero said.
"Oh. You said you knew where his children where. Where are they?" Relena asked.
"At a compound. I fed them every day which is how I knew they were yours, Heero. William, Rebecca and William cousin came today. The cousin's name is Dorothy Catolina," Hannah said. Relena leaned back into her seat and whispered, "No."
Heero looked as though he was thinking of something.
"Who's going to tell Trowa?" he finally asked.
"Oh God," Relena moaned as she leaned her face on her hands. Hannah had a confused look on her face.
"Do you know her?" she asked.
"Her and her fiancé," Relena said.
"Fiancé! This is not good," Hannah said.
"And the Understatement of the Year award goes to…Hannah Lowe," Heero said, sarcastically.
"Don't start that. Now we need to figure out away to get your children out. How many people do you have to help?" Hannah asked.
"I'll have to see. And to think last week I was worried about the supplies shipment being in on time and now I'm scare I won't ever see my kids again. It's crazy," Heero said, rubbing his eyes. 'I wonder what that like. Knowing you may never see your children again. I suppose I'll never know' Relena thought.

"How will this marry thing going to affect our lives?" Amber asked.
"We would get married but you are already married, I have no idea," Trowa said. Amber got up and walked to the window in the room.
"Sometimes I wonder if marryin' Heero was one of the most stupidest mistakes of my life or if it one of the smartest things I've ever done," she said.
"What do you mean?" Trowa asked. Amber smiled a little and said, "If I get to know you better I just might tell."
Trowa smiled.

"William, when will we go see them?" Rebecca asked. She and William were sitting in their rooms.
"Soon my love but I still need to learn what to say," William replied. Rebecca signed and turned back to her book. 'Heero, I wish I never threw that knife. Then I would still have you and Reuben. I know why you married Amber. It sounds like something you would do. I wonder if the children know. They probably don't, not many people do.' Rebecca thought being unable to concentrate on the book.
Dorothy walked into the room and said, "The woman who feeds them is here." She didn't meet anyone in the eye and kept her gaze on the floor.
"Thank you, angel," William said.
"Your welcome," she turned and left.
"It's working," Rebecca said.
"Yes it is. But it's sad that we had to test it on her," William said.
"You love her, don't you?" Rebecca asked.
"She is my cousin, I have to love her," he answered.

"I don't believe this," Relena said as she and Heero walked down the street. They were walking back to the hospital.
"I know," Heero said.
"Now what are you going to do?" Relena asked.
"I'll figure out something. So how have you been taking all of this?" Heero asked.
"I don't know. It just seems so unreal. How has Amber taken it?" Relena asked.
"She cried a lot last night. There's no way to clam her down. She didn't even sleep last night, if that tell you anything," Heero said. Relena remained silent. Finally she asked, "Why do you think this happened?"
"I don't know but God said everything happens for a reason," Heero answered and continued in his head. 'And I'm going to married you as soon as I can and that wouldn't happen if we hadn't come here and I hope Amber will fall in love with Trowa. That's why I think this happened.'
"You believe in God?" Relena asked.
"Yeah, why?" Heero asked.
"You seemed like an atheist when I first meet you," Relena said.
"I was but Amber want her kids to believe in God and I started believing to. After a couple years I got saved and then baptized. So what about you? Do you believe in God?" Heero asked.
"If I believed in God that would mean that my battle for peace is meaningless," Relena said.
"In my eyes Relena, it is. Did you know that some people think you could be the Antichrist?" Heero asked.
"What?" Relena asked shocked.
"It says in the Bible that the Antichrist will bring world peace. And you are fighting for it and you're not succeeding. Relena there will never be world peace until the end of time. It's what I believe," Heero said.
"Maybe your right," Relena said. Heero looked at her and said, "Come to church with me this Sunday."
"What? But I'm not a believer," Relena said.
"It's not going to kill you. It might in fact do you some good," Heero said.
"Okay. I'll go," Relena said nervous.
"Good and don't worry. They won't kill you, they love you," Heero said.
"If you say so," Relena said.
