Shooting Stars Sequel
Book 2??
The Beginning of the End, part one
Relena was walking down the street when a familiar voice called out, "Hey, Lena!" Relena turned to see a panting Hilde run to try to catch up with her.
"Hi, Hilde," Relena answered, shifting the weight of her groceries. Hilde smiled and glanced at the over-flowing bags.
"The guys are big eaters, huh?" Hilde grinned, then took a bag. "I'll help. Now tell me, how my fav little chum, Odin, doing?"
"Odin is doing fine, he's starting preschool now in a few weeks," Relena laughed. "Why don't you come over, Hilde? The guys are driving me nuts."
"Sure! Duo's coming now anyway, so we both can come. Do you need a lift? We can drive you, and anyway, we have some great news!" Hilde giggled. Relena rose an eyebrow. Usually Hilde was laughing and cracking jokes, but giggling like a school girl?
"Uh, yeah, I could use a ride if it's no problem," Relena answered nervously.
"Great!" Hilde said, grabbing Relena's free hand. "let's go!"
****************
When they reached the Yuy's apartment, Relena laughed and pulled out her key, but the door opened before see had it in the lock.
"Heero! You're home early!' Relena exclaimed.
"I found out that you left the office early," he said, glaring at her protectively, "without your bodyguards. Anything could have happened to you!"
"Sorry, Hun," Relena answered, kissing him lightly on the lips. "I didn't mean to worry you, I just went and got the groceries." Heero grunted and then saw Hilde and Duo staring at them in the doorway.
"Duo! Hilde!" Heero exclaimed, placing a hand around his wife's waist. "Come on. Want something to drink?"
Duo raised an eyebrow at the thought of Heero Yuy, assassin, giving him a drink. "Man, you've changed very much, and it's freaking me out."
Heero grinned and then said, "wow…scaring Duo Maxwell."

Trowa cleared his throat. Quatre, Dorothy, and Cathrine looked up. They were seated in Quatre's living room. Dorothy was sitting on a love seat with Quatre, reading a book together. Cathrine was doing needlework by the fireplace, and Trowa had just put down the vid-phone.
"What is it?" Quatre asked, concerned.
"It was Relena and Heero," Trowa said slowly. Quatre stood up, wondering if something was wrong with his favourite "sister" (AN: Okay, I know that sounds weird, but to make this clear, Quatre in this story is very protective about Relena, and thinks of her like a sister. She feels the same way about him, and that's why at some point in the story I might have one of them say something like, Relena to Quatre: "Brother, be careful".).
"Is something wrong with Miss—Er, Mrs. Relena?" Dorothy corrected.
"No, Hilde and Duo are over," Trowa explained. "They said they have something to say but it has to wait until we get there…now."
"You mean go to visit Relena and Heero and Odin?" Cathrine asked. She looked over to Dorothy, who then looked at Quatre, who looked at Trowa, puppy-dog eyes pleading.
"OH ALL RIGHT!" Trowa cried out, throwing his hands up in the air. "I know you guys want to visit Relena…" He sighed. "And little Odin. Come on, let's go."
**********
Relena was siting uncomfortably on the couch, wishing the silence would pass. Hilde and Duo were unnaturally quiet, sitting side by side. Relena sighed and looked up at the clock behind them. It was almost six…they had called Trowa and Quatre at ten that morning…
There was a knock on the door. Odin leaped up and scrambled down the hallway, almost tripping.
"Odin, be careful!" Relena called out, as he tripped again.
"Who's it?" Odin asked, reaching for the door knob.
"Uncle Trowa and Quatre," Quatre's voice called out. Odin smiled and pulled open the door, revealing Quatre and Trowa.
Relena got up from the couch and went straight to the door. "Hey Quatre!" Relena laughed, hugging him tightly.
"Hey, Sis," Quatre laughed merrily, then Relena turned to Trowa.
"Trowa! So nice of you all to come and visit on such a short notice!" Relena smiled and hugged the remaining three. "Come in." She stepped back, and they all sat on the couch, Odin jumping from one to another, waiting to hear about their adventures and if they had any gifts. Relena had gone into the kitchen where Heero was hiding out.
"I wonder what's going on?" Relena mused aloud.
"I don't know," Heero answered, his arms crossed. "It's not a Duo OR Hilde thing to sit quietly!"
"That is what's bothering me," Relena agreed. "They're both way too quiet. Do you think something happened to my brother and Noin on their second honeymoon?"
"No," Heero answered. "You would have heard it on the news."
"Mom! Dad!" Odin's voice called through the open doorway. "Aunt Hilde and Uncle Duo are going to tell us now!" Relena and Heero exchanged a look, then walked out hand in hand, waiting for the worst.
*****************
They all stared, their mouths open and at a blushing Hilde and grinning Duo.
"YOU'RE KIDDING," was all they could manage.
"Nope," said Duo, smiling brightly.
"I'm so happy for you!" Relena burst out, then grasp Heero's hand. "Expecting! That's great!"
"Yeah, but weird," Cathrine admitted. "I thought you guys would be first before Relena and Heero, but it's the other way around!"
Everyone laughed, and then someone's stomach rumbled. Everyone stopped and looked up at the clock.
"I guess no one noticed how late it was getting," Heero said quietly, and picked up Odin. "Off to bed you! You've been up past your bed time."
Odin yawned and answered, "But I'm not sleepy."
Relena laughed softly and let her motherly side take over. "Sure you are," she said. They walked to Odin's room and tucked him in. "Night, Sweetie."
"Night, Mom, Dad."
"Goodnight Odin," Heero answered, kissing his son on the cheek. Relena did the same and then they walked out of the room, turning off the light.
Duo and Hilde were waiting for them, being able to see everything in the hall.
"Wow," Duo said. "You guys are the perfect parents! I hope we're as good as you two." Heero blushed and Relena smiled at them, also blushing.
"Heero!?! Blushing?!?" Duo cried, his smile slipping. "No way!"
