Chapter 8
"Kyle are you awake?" Hallie whispered under the covers of Kyle's bed.
"Now I am!" Kyle moaned irritably, kicking the sheets from his face.
"Sorry…"
"What do you want anyway?"
"I was just wondering where my Daddy was."
Realizing that she wasn't going to let him sleep Kyle stood up and turned on the lap by his bed. "I don't know but I bet he's okay."
Hallie sadly sighed, " Yeah I guess your right but I still can't sleep now."
"Same here. Thanks to a certain someone…"
"Well excuse me for worrying about my Daddy!"
"Shhhhh…Keep it down! If my Mommy finds out we're not sleeping she won't let me watch Pokemon tomorrow."
"I'll be quiet."
"Since we're awake now." Kyle said getting out his action figures, "We can play with my Gundam Wing action figures. Here you can be Heavyarms, I'll be Zero One."
"But I want to be Zero One." Exclaimed Hallie crossing her arms in front of her.
"But that's my favorite and they're my Gundams!"
"Oh, alright. Hey Kyle, does Zero One have a self-destruct button?"
"Don't even think about it! I had to fluff a lot of pillows for that thing andMommy doesn't like me playing with the Gundams as it is. She said something about pa-ka-fist-em." Kyle informed trying to correctly pronounce the last word.
"You mean pacifism."
"That too."
"Fine. I was thinking about your Mommy and my Daddy and how we could make them fall in love."
"So."
"Just listen Kyle." Hallie insisted grabbing Zero One from his hands in order to receive his full attention, "I was thinking that we could send them to a really pretty restaurant with romantic music and breadsticks. And we could pay for everything. Then my Daddy will look into her eyes and…"
"I don't think I can fluff that many pillows." Said Kyle uncertainly.
"Or I could just invite you and your Mommy for lunch in the kitchen. We'll just leave them alone and make them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to eat."
"Sounds great!"
Rolling her eyes Hallie fell back into bed and pulled the blanket over her.
"Men…"

Flipping through the channels tiredly Relena gazed at the digital clock on the vcr. Twelve am. Heero was supposed to have been here two hours ago. It was too late to ask anyone about where the hell Heero was and anyway he hadn't left a number or address.
"He's probably has his arms around some girl dancing the night away." Relena muttered. With that cold mysterious exterior of his Heero always managed to make women left and right feel at least a little faint.
Somehow the thought of all this made Relena grimace and turn green with envy. Kyle was right, she did "like-like" Heero. She loved every bit about him, from his arrogant smirk to that voice of his that sent chills down her spine. Despite how frustrating "Mr. Yuy" could be Relena still knew he wasn't that bad deep inside. Still if was nothing Relena would admit. After all she just met the guy.
Shaking the sappy thoughts from her head Relena ambled out of the chair and wended her way blindly to Kyle's room. Hallie and Kyle were safely ticked into bed. Trickles of moonlight reflected from the window casting pools of silver to gently outline their serene faces. Relena had to admit the two were such angels, when they were alseep.
Prying the action figure from Kyle's hands Relena smiled and kissed his forehead. He stirred slightly but continued to softly snore. Kyle had always been the type of kid to sleep through earthquakes. Relana pushed aside the strands of hair that had fallen on Hallie's face. She looked very much like her father; with the same dark hair that somewhat resembled chocolate and those drowing prussian blue eyes. Hallie's eyelids delicately opened in confusion.
"Daddy?"
"No it's just me, Hallie." Relena softly answered.
"Well then where is he?"
"Some place…"
"That's not a very good answer." Hallie frowned in concern.
"It's the best answer I can give you. But I'm sure you father's fine. He's just a little late." Relena consoled putting her arms around Hallie whose eyes were lined with moisture.
"But he's never that late! What is something bad happened?"
"I'm sure nothings wrong."
"How do you know. You're not with him."
Hallie sadly returned the hug and cried on her shoulder. The tears lightly soaked Relena's shirt but at that point it really didn't matter. She just continued to embrace Hallie and absorb her tears with the shirt. After a while Hallie grew fatigued sobbing and soon fell asleep in her arms.
Relena protectively tucked Hallie into bed and kissed her on the cheek. The poor thing really missed her father. As Relena walked out of Kyle's room soft knocking came from the front door. Sighing she sauntered over to the door. For a second Relena contemplated whether or not to let the visiter in seeing that he didn't deserve to be answered. But her compassion, her damn compassion, ordered her to open the door.
"Hello Relena." Heero stated stepping into the room.
"Where the hell have you been?"
"Places."
"Places?" Relena repeated raising an eyebrow, "That's not a complete answer."
"Why is it any of your business anyway?"
Feeling the anger boil inside her Relena closed her hands into little fists and retained from the temptation of strangling the man. "Because your daughter has been here worried sick about you. Now please tell me why you're late."
" I don't see why you need to know." Heero simply said.
"Arg! Listen Heero you promised you'd be here 2 hours ago! You didn't leave a number or anything! Do you even care that your daughter has been crying because she doesn't know where the hell you are! I'm just concerned okay!" Relena replied in a feverish pitch.
Heero's mouth lay agape. He did have things to say, plenty of things, but they just wouldn't come out. "Where's Hallie?" He choked not able to speak anymore words.
"She's in Kyle's room." Relena crossly stated gesturing the direction with her hand.
"Thank you."
Relena watched in disbelief as Heero briskly jogged into the room, picked up his daughter who mumbled incoherent questions and slammed the door shut after him. He quickly came and left. It was almost like Heero was never here. She prayed that their argument didn't wake up the neighbors. Relena couldn't deal with any angry calls tonight

Just wanted to let everyone know that this will probably be the second to the last chapter, Hopefully I'll get the story done soon!
