Chapter 10
Relena fiddled nervously with the handle of her purse as she and Heero waited to be seated to their table. Why had she even agreed to this? By now Relena had forgotten what it was even like to dress up and go somewhere nice. The ride to the restaurant was mostly silent except for a few coughs and one or two sneezes. Occasionally when the other wasn't looking they'd stare wistfully at eachother as if they both had something the other wanted but wouldn't give it back. It was rather amusing really that Heero and Relena didn't realize how perfect they were for eachother. Both were too stubborn to realize how simmilar they were.
Smoothing her dress for the millionth time Relena glanced apprehensively at Heero who seemed quite calm and didn't have any trouble getting ready to go to a place like this. Apparently she didn't realize that he had been arguing with his daughter about how he was going to act and look. Hallie insisted that he bring flowers and wear his happy face tie. Thankfully Heero had won this argument.
"Reservations for Heero Yuy." Heero stated in a cool voice and stared at Relena for a bit who looked "somewhat beautiful" in her long blue dress. She seemed a bit apprehensive from the way she fiddled with her purse and straightened her dress. It was a habit that Relena seemed to have. How he knew this was beyond him. Lately Heero had been taking notice of all the little details about Relena. From the way she always answered the phone with a smile to the fact she wore black shoes only on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. But it wasn't something Heero would admit right away since he should have been working half the time instead of staring at her. Funny thing was he still perplexed at why he was acting this way.
"Because you love her."
"I do not!"
"Oh really."
"Of course. I hate her remember!"
"Could've fooled me."
"It's true. Relena's just stupid. She's always so stubborn, oppinoinated, confusing and..."
"Kind, beautiful, witty, beautiful, extremely funny and did I mention she was beautiful?"
"You sound like a hormonal 16 year old."
"Just admit you're madly in love with her so we can get on with the rest of our lives!"
"I DO NOT LOVE HER!"
"Are you okay, Heero?" Relena questioned waving a hand across his face.
"Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't I be?"
"I don't know. It just looked like you were arguing with yourself."
"It went something like that..."
"Mousier and Madam Yuy." Replied a waiter in a fake french accent, "Let me take you to your table."
"I'm not his wife." Relena interjected to find that the waiter was a fair distance away and had no choice but to catch up with him. Apparently the waiter couldn't have cared less anyway.
"Shouldn't we wait for for Ms. Geller?" Heero asked as he and Relena were seated and given menus."
"No Mousier." The waiter murmured pouring water into their glasses, "A Mousier Winner called to say she wouldn't be joining you."
"What!"
"I'm sorry, but that is what he said."
Calming turning back to his menu Heero quietly growled and gritted his teeth. How could Quatre have done this to him? He had spent the whole night perfecting his argument and practiced atalking to her with Halie's dolls. Heero looked upp and gazed at Relena. Thankfully she hadn't paid any attention to the previous argument and amused herself by admiring the surroundings. Relena's eyes shined with such entusiasm and excitedment; her mouth forming a small O. Somehow seeing Relena so awestruck made him forget whatever he had been agrivated with and brought him some joy.
Feeling his gaze upon her Relena's face flushed a deep shade of red. Heero's gaze always sent shivers down her spine and gave her a nervous feeling all over. But it wasn't the terrible kind of nervous, it was the jittery kind that made her heart beat faster. "Like what you see?"
Heero's cheeks turned an even deeper shade of vermillion. It was his turn to blush, "Well...heh...heh."
"I'm just joking." Relena grinned.
"Where's the other person you invited?"
"She couldn't make it. But we can still eat here right?"
"I suppose so."
"What are you going to order?"
"I'm really not sure. It's all in French."
***
"I want to thank you for the irises." Relena said, taking another forkfull of whatever Heero had ordered for them, "They were gorgeous."
"No problem. Just wanted to sort of apologize about my behavior."
Relena smiled. So it was true, Heero could be fairly decent at times. "How'd you know irises were my favorite?"
"To tell you the truth they reminded me of you at the flower shop." Heero admitted.
"Really?"
"Sounds crazy huh?"
"Sort of... Admire any good doors lately?"
"No, I've decided to give up that hobby. It was getting in the way of actually knocking on people's doors and visiting." Heero replied mock-depresion.
"That's a shame, but I suppose your right. And if it makes you feel any better you can admire my door whenever you feel like it."
Feeling a grin tug on the ends of his mouth Heero quickly covered it with a yawn. He refused to believe that he could actually be having a good time with her, "Thank you. I appreciate that."
"Your very welcome." Relena said slightly smiling.
"So..." Changing the subject quickly, as the music started, Heero asked, "Would you like to dance?"
This took Relena by surprise. But she, by all means, didn't discourage such an invitation. Blushing, Relena took his hand as they walked to the dance floor.
"Yesterday, was not just another day
Not like before
Yesterday, I saw your smilin' face Love walked through, my door
One precious moment
Changed my life
One tender kiss
Made everything right
One touch from you
And this world was mine
It was in your arms where I found forever"
The dance floor was empty, for the restaurant were full of only business associates discussing money and what not. Still they wistfully watched Heero and Relena glide across the floor, as if remembering that certain someone they wished to dance with. Watching Relena and Heero seemed to ignite in other's minds just what it was like to be in love. All the chatter stopped and the clinking of silverware came to a halt. The only thing that could be heard was the soft music and slight shuffling of feet as more people decided to follow suit and dance. It was almost like something from a cheesy romance movie.
"I felt the sun
Shine so bright on me
Chased the rain from my heart
Through the storm
Through the darkest night I found my brightest star
One magic moment
Made one magic night I fell in love
With one look in your eyes baby
I never knew I could feel so loved
Darling, in your arms
I could feel forever"
Relena slowly tightened her arms around Heero's neck. It felt rather odd being this close to Heero, but at the same time sort of familiar. Like being this close felt so right. The thought of that made her face turn slightly pink. She still wasn't quite sure how she felt about him.
Heero responded to her touch and tightened his grasp around her waist, drawing her closer. This caused the both of them to blush even harder, but at the same time they kind of enjoyed it.
"One precious moment
Changed my life
One tender kiss
Made everything right
One touch from you
And this world was mine
It was in your arms babe
Where I found forever and ever"
-My First Night With You- Mya

"I had a really great time." Relena smiled as they walked to her door.
"Uh, yeah. Me too."
"You know what this reminds me of?"
"What?" Heero asked looking at the ground, trying to hide the dreamy lovesick look in his eyes. True, he had a wonderful time with her. Relena was sweet and funny, everything he thought she'd be and more. But despite all that Heero couldn't come to terms with these feelings. If he had the courage he would tell her he loved her, really. 'Just tell her you love her PLEASE!'
'But what if she doesn't love me?' 'Seriously now Heero. This girl's crazy for you.' Heero shook his head vigorously, he needed to get these damn voices out of his head.
"Well it reminds me of all those cliched teen movies where the guy and the girl would walk to her door and she'd say 'I had such a good time Johnny'." Relena mimicked in a high voice and then switched to a much lower voice, "Then the guy would say 'I had a great time too' and then she'd stand closer to him when they got to her door and she'd give that whole "I'm ready for my kiss" smile."
"Then what would they do?" Heero replied, brushing a hand through his hair, as they stood at her door. Everything that had happened with her did remind him of those cheesy teen flicks. But Relena didn't answer she just simply stood there and smiled. Heero could have sworn that she had stepped a few inches closer to her.
"They did this." And with that Relena kissed him lightly on the lips. This startled Relena as well as Heero. She wasn't quite sure why she was doing this but she was kissing him anyway. The kiss was so light and faint that Heero didn't know if they lips were even brushing, all he knew was that he liked it.
"Uh...um...heh...er...wow." Was all that Heero managed to blurt out.
Relena giggled at his sudden loss of words, "Alright then. Well I'll see you later Heero?"
"Of course."
***
"So how'd it go?" Quatre immediatly, asked standing and accidentally sending Hallie to the ground, who was sitting on his lap.
"Hey!"
"Sorry Hal! So how'd it go."
Heero immediately said in a sinister voice, "Well I'm going to kill you for telling me that Ms. Gellar wasn't going to come."
"Hey it was Hallie's idea of saying that. Really Ms. Gellar was already persuaded."
"I just wanted you to be happy, Daddy." Hallie shrugged sitting on the ground.
"Then I'm going to hug Hallie for doing that."
"That's not fair Heero. Hallie get's a hug and I get killed."
"What you want a hug too?"
"No thanks. But seriously Heero what happened?" Quatre questioned demandingly.
"We had dinner, danced..."
"Oooooh danced!" Hallie grinned.
"Yes danced. And then we talked, turns out we had more in common than I thought we did, and then we walked to her door and then..."
"And then what???"
"She kissed me." Heero replied calmly, trying to hide the smile threatening to return, as he walked to his room.
"Really!"
"Wait hold on." Quatre yelped running up to him, "You kissed her?"
"Yes, I did."
"Smooth move dude! So are you ready to admit you love her now?"
"What?"
"You know, ask her out, stuff like that."
"Well I don't know..."
"Ohhh come on! You know your in love with her Daddy!" Hallie exclaimed, putting her hands on her hips. "Wise up! I'm tired of you saying you don't love her, cuz you know you do. And if you won't tell her I will!"
"Now hold on Miss." Heero replied holding her back,as she was about to open the door, "I'll tell her. Don't worry."
"When?"
"Next year?"
"Think again, Daddy."
"Next month?"
"Nope."
"In two weeks?"
"Yeah right."
"Um...a week?"
"No."
"Five days."
"Seriously!"
"Three days?"
"Uh...huh. Suuuure."
"Fine!" Heero replied throwing his hands in the air with frustration, "I tell her on Monday!"
Quatre raised an eyebrow at the two, "I hope you realize Heero, just what you two have been debating about."
"I know." Heero sighed and staggered into his room, "Would you mind putting Hallie to sleep. I'm tired. Bye Quatre, thank you for babysitting. I owe you one."
"Bu-but I do-don't wa-want to." Hallie pouted her lower lip trembling.
***
"So how'd you date go?" Dorothy asked, as Relena walked from Kyle's room after putting him to sleep.
"It's not a date. Just two people going out somewhere."
"Well then how'd that go?"
"Okay." Relena grinned with one of those love-sick looks plastered all over her face, "We ate, danced, stuff like that. Heero was a perfect gentleman."
"Oh really. Anything else."
"Um...well I did kiss him."
"You did? Awww..."
"Shut up I've only known him for a month and two days."
"So you've been counting have you? You have it bad."
"What do you mean?"
"Oh come one! Are you that dense? You love him."
"Love him? But a barely know him."
"Correction you say you don't but you do." Dorothy emphasized, "Believe me you do."
"But I can't be in love with him can I?" Relena asked unsurely.
"Well do you always think about him?"
"...yes."
"Does your heart beat faster everytime you see him?"
"Yeah."
"Do you always get that stupid love-sick smile whenever you think of him?"
"Yes."
"Are those stupid love songs starting to make sense?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Well then your in love."
"As simple as that?"
"It's a bumpy ride and a few times you'll fight and start to wonder why you even bother with Heero. You'll love it."
"Since when were you such an expert at these things?" Relena sighed tiredly.
"Since I started reading these?" Dorothy announced taking out a few of her romance novels.
"Oh brother."
"Shut up. We both know you love Heero. Now the question is, what are you going to do about it?"
"Forget that I love him?"
"I'd like to see you try that."
Relena groan and buried her face in her hands, "I don't know. A couple months ago I was fine. Sure I was working at K-Mart at the time but still. I just moved into a nice apartment, got over Colin, at least I hope so, and I had Kyle. But now with this Heero thing, I'm never sure what I feel about him anymore, I keep on smiling and he's constantly in my head! And you know what's the most pathetic part of all?"
"What?"
"I like it. I like it a lot."
"Awww...that's so sweet." Dorothy replied putting an arm around her.
"No it isn't. It's confusing and just so terrible."
"But a minute ago you were saying that..."
"Forget what I said!" Relena cried in confusion, causing Dorothy to step back, "I'm not sure of anything anymore! Damn you Heero! Damn you!"
"Mommy, you just said a bad word." Kyle yawned stepping out of his room.
"I'm sorry Kyle." Relena sighed, "I'll wash my mouth before I go to bed tonight. Why don't you do back to sleep, okay?"
"Alright Mommy. Don't worry Hallie's dad loves you too."
***
Humming a tune-less song Relena opened the door to her office. Sunday provided some sort of relaxation and she managed to forget about the whole Heero business for any amazing 3 minutes. Still the fact that she really did love Heero dawned on Relena consistantly. She walked into the room to find Heero sitting calmly on her desk. It was like nothing happened or at least anything Heero would take notice of.
"Heero?"
"Hey."
"What are you doing here?"
"I happen to work here. Now if I'm not mistaken, which never happens, aren't you late?" Heero smirked teasingly.
"Well I'm sorry Hee-Mr. Yuy."
"Why are you acting all professional now?"
"Argh!" Relena grumbled in frustration. How waas it that Heero could remain so poised and secure after that night? What puzzled her even more was why she loved the idiot, "Why do I even bother with you Heero Yuy! I hate you! I hate you!"
"You hate me?" Heero repeated almost sadly.
"Yes! No...I don't know Heero. I mean you always agravate me and you honestly drive me crazy. I swear your just so irritating and yet..."
"And yet what?"
"Iloveyou" Relena mumbled under her breath.
"What'd you say?"
"Nothing."
"I want to know. And as your boss I command you to tell me!"
"I love you Heero! Okay! Are you happy now! I don't know why I even love you but I do. Even if I've only known you for a month and four days."
"You counted?" Heero questioned, raising an eyebrow in amusement.
"Yes I counted!" Relena exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air, "Of course I did! I just said I love you! Doesn't that mean something to you? I mean how can you just sit there all calm and "business man" like?"
"Relena?" Heero smiled strolling over the exasperated figure.
"Yeah?" Relena replied staring at the ground.
Lifting up her chin to face him, Heero looked deeply into her eyes and whispered softly, "I love you."
"You do?"
"Yes, I love you. I loved you from the minute Hallie threw sand at your son. And yes saying that you loved me did mean something to me. It meant the world to me."
"Really?" She sheepishly asked.
"Yes, now about that kiss on Saturday."
"What about it?"
"Could I kiss you again?"
And with that Heero pressed his lips gently against hers. It wasn't one of those passionate, soap opera kiss, but the sweet soft ones you can still taste years from now. Relena sighed happily and smiled as they kissed. Nothing else mattered in the world, just the fact they loved eachother. She already knew in the future they'd have their share of arguments and rough spots, in the end it'd still be pure love. Feeling her smile Heero held her even closer.
"Can we come in now?" Kyle questioned as Quatre, Hallie and him popped their heads in from behind the door.
"Sure." Relena blushed as they broke away.
"All I can say." Hallie frowned impatiently, "Is that it's about time!"
"I'm sorry. Next time I won't take so long." Heero smiled and kissed his daughter on the cheek.
"Wait til I tell everyone in the building." Quatre replied excitedly.
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone's been waiting for this drama to end. In fact they have a pool going for when you finally say you love eachother. I must say you provided a lot of entertainment for your coworkers."
"We didn't take that long did we?" Relena asked.
"Yes!" Quatre, Hallie and Kyle cried in unison.
Epiloge
"Remember Kyle. If you fall down of something you'll screw up the wedding." Hallie informed straightening her cream colored dress and picked up her basket of flowers.
Relena had insisted that Kyle and Hallie would be the flower girl and ring bearer at the wedding. And her being the bride no one bothered to argue with it.
"Why do you think I'll screw up?" Kyle innocently asked as they walked down the aisle tripping on an invisible bump. This sent him crashing to the ground and Hallie in tears.
"Daddy! Kyle ruined the wedding!" Hallie cried running to her father.
Heero smiled gently as picked her up. Gently consoling her, Quatre shot him a teasing grin. It figured on the day he'd finally marry Relena something like this would happen.
"I did not!" Kyle wailed in a feverish pitch, tears streaming down his face.
Immediately Relena ran to comfort her son. His tears dampened the white dress she had taken so much time to put on and her veil was attached to hair by a single bobbie pin. This caused the veil to nearly fall off her head. But it didn't matter to Heero. He'd marry her anyway he could.
Realizing just where she was Relena's face flushed, "Your not supposed to see me now are you?"
"I think it's too late for that."
Smiling Relena carried Kyle down the aisle. The guests laughed happily at this odd sight. Holding his daughter in one arm, Heero sheepishly held Relena's hand as they turned to face the priest.
***
"I'd like to make a toast."Duo announced clinking his fork against a glass.
"Oh great." Relena sighed remembering what happened at her brother's wedding.
"I've known these two since who knows how long. And surprisingly I survived. Well anyways I can still remember Heero's first girlfriend. Her name was Ivy I believe. Nice girl. Had great legs. There was that time I was looking through Heero's closet and there they were kissing. Haha. Remember that Yuy? You had your hand up her-"
"I think that's enough." Hilde interrupted jabbing him in the stomach with her elbow.
"Ow…Well anyways best of luck. Enjoy the honeymoon if you know what I mean."
"What does he mean?" Kyle asked turning to his mother.
"Um...well you know Duo he's always saying weird things."
"You know you'll have to tell him sometime." Heero whispered to Relena.
"I know." Relena grinned, "That's why I was hoping you'd tell him. After all you're his father."
Heero gulped at the thought of telling Kyle about giving him the "birds and the bees" talk. But knowing Relena she'd fine someway of making him tell Kyle. She always had that effect on him.
~~~
Well I'm done! Finally, huh? I hope you liked it, the chapter was longer than I expected. I'm in the middle of writing a new fanfic with Relena and Heero(big surprise ^_^) so hopefully I'll have that up soon. I was also wondering if my other fic should be either about Relena and Heero, Duo and Hilde and so on. I don't think I'd be able to do yaoi fics yet, because personally I don't think I'm good enough to get to writing yaoi. I don't read it very often and I'd just be hard for me.

"Wait hold on." Quatre yelped running up to him, "You kissed her?"
"Yes, I did."
"Smooth move dude! So are you ready to admit you love her now?"
"What?"
"You know, ask her out, stuff like that."
"Well I don't know..."
"Ohhh come on! You know your in love with her Daddy!" Hallie exclaimed, putting her hands on her hips. "Wise up! I'm tired of you saying you don't love her, cuz you know you do. And if you won't tell her I will!"
"Now hold on Miss." Heero replied holding her back,as she was about to open the door, "I'll tell her. Don't worry."
"When?"
"Next year?"
"Think again, Daddy."
"Next month?"
"Nope."
"In two weeks?"
"Yeah right."
"Um...a week?"
"No."
"Five days."
"Seriously!"
"Three days?"
"Uh...huh. Suuuure."
"Fine!" Heero replied throwing his hands in the air with frustration, "I tell her on Monday!"
Quatre raised an eyebrow at the two, "I hope you realize Heero, just what you two have been debating about."
"I know." Heero sighed and staggered into his room, "Would you mind putting Hallie to sleep. I'm tired. Bye Quatre, thank you for babysitting. I owe you one."
"Bu-but I do-don't wa-want to." Hallie pouted her lower lip trembling.

"So how'd you date go?" Dorothy asked, as Relena walked from Kyle's room after putting him to sleep.
"It's not a date. Just two people going out somewhere."
"Well then how'd that go?"
"Okay." Relena grinned with one of those love-sick looks plastered all over her face, "We ate, danced, stuff like that. Heero was a perfect gentleman."
"Oh really. Anything else."
"Um...well I did kiss him."
"You did? Awww..."
"Shut up I've only known him for a month and two days."
"So you've been counting have you? You have it bad."
"What do you mean?"
"Oh come one! Are you that dense? You love him."
"Love him? But a barely know him."
"Correction you say you don't but you do." Dorothy emphasized, "Believe me you do."
"But I can't be in love with him can I?" Relena asked unsurely.
"Well do you always think about him?"
"...yes."
"Does your heart beat faster everytime you see him?"
"Yeah."
"Do you always get that stupid love-sick smile whenever you think of him?"
"Yes."
"Are those stupid love songs starting to make sense?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Well then your in love."
"As simple as that?"
"It's a bumpy ride and a few times you'll fight and start to wonder why you even bother with Heero. You'll love it."
"Since when were you such an expert at these things?" Relena sighed tiredly.
"Since I started reading these?" Dorothy announced taking out a few of her romance novels.
"Oh brother."
"Shut up. We both know you love Heero. Now the question is, what are you going to do about it?"
"Forget that I love him?"
"I'd like to see you try that."
Relena groan and buried her face in her hands, "I don't know. A couple months ago I was fine. Sure I was working at K-Mart at the time but still. I just moved into a nice apartment, got over Colin, at least I hope so, and I had Kyle. But now with this Heero thing, I'm never sure what I feel about him anymore, I keep on smiling and he's constantly in my head! And you know what's the most pathetic part of all?"
"What?"
"I like it. I like it a lot."
"Awww...that's so sweet." Dorothy replied putting an arm around her.
"No it isn't. It's confusing and just so terrible."
"But a minute ago you were saying that..."
"Forget what I said!" Relena cried in confusion, causing Dorothy to step back, "I'm not sure of anything anymore! Damn you Heero! Damn you!"
"Mommy, you just said a bad word." Kyle yawned stepping out of his room.
"I'm sorry Kyle." Relena sighed, "I'll wash my mouth before I go to bed tonight. Why don't you do back to sleep, okay?"
"Alright Mommy. Don't worry Hallie's dad loves you too."
***
Humming a tune-less song Relena opened the door to her office. Sunday provided some sort of relaxation and she managed to forget about the whole Heero business for any amazing 3 minutes. Still the fact that she really did love Heero dawned on Relena consistantly. She walked into the room to find Heero sitting calmly on her desk. It was like nothing happened or at least anything Heero would take notice of.
"Heero?"
"Hey."
"What are you doing here?"
"I happen to work here. Now if I'm not mistaken, which never happens, aren't you late?" Heero smirked teasingly.
"Well I'm sorry Hee-Mr. Yuy."
"Why are you acting all professional now?"
"Argh!" Relena grumbled in frustration. How waas it that Heero could remain so poised and secure after that night? What puzzled her even more was why she loved the idiot, "Why do I even bother with you Heero Yuy! I hate you! I hate you!"
"You hate me?" Heero repeated almost sadly.
"Yes! No...I don't know Heero. I mean you always agravate me and you honestly drive me crazy. I swear your just so irritating and yet..."
"And yet what?"
"Iloveyou" Relena mumbled under her breath.
"What'd you say?"
"Nothing."
"I want to know. And as your boss I command you to tell me!"
"I love you Heero! Okay! Are you happy now! I don't know why I even love you but I do. Even if I've only known you for a month and four days."
"You counted?" Heero questioned, raising an eyebrow in amusement.
"Yes I counted!" Relena exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air, "Of course I did! I just said I love you! Doesn't that mean something to you? I mean how can you just sit there all calm and "business man" like?"
"Relena?" Heero smiled strolling over the exasperated figure.
"Yeah?" Relena replied staring at the ground.
Lifting up her chin to face him, Heero looked deeply into her eyes and whispered softly, "I love you."
"You do?"
"Yes, I love you. I loved you from the minute Hallie threw sand at your son. And yes saying that you loved me did mean something to me. It meant the world to me."
"Really?" She sheepishly asked.
"Yes, now about that kiss on Saturday."
"What about it?"
"Could I kiss you again?"
And with that Heero pressed his lips gently against hers. It wasn't one of those passionate, soap opera kiss, but the sweet soft ones you can still taste years from now. Relena sighed happily and smiled as they kissed. Nothing else mattered in the world, just the fact they loved eachother. She already knew in the future they'd have their share of arguments and rough spots, in the end it'd still be pure love. Feeling her smile Heero held her even closer.
"Can we come in now?" Kyle questioned as Quatre, Hallie and him popped their heads in from behind the door.
"Sure." Relena blushed as they broke away.
"All I can say." Hallie frowned impatiently, "Is that it's about time!"
"I'm sorry. Next time I won't take so long." Heero smiled and kissed his daughter on the cheek.
"Wait til I tell everyone in the building." Quatre replied excitedly.
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone's been waiting for this drama to end. In fact they have a pool going for when you finally say you love eachother. I must say you provided a lot of entertainment for your coworkers."
"We didn't take that long did we?" Relena asked.
"Yes!" Quatre, Hallie and Kyle cried in unison.

"Remember Kyle. If you fall down of something you'll screw up the wedding." Hallie informed straightening her cream colored dress and picked up her basket of flowers.
Relena had insisted that Kyle and Hallie would be the flower girl and ring bearer at the wedding. And her being the bride no one bothered to argue with it.
"Why do you think I'll screw up?" Kyle innocently asked as they walked down the aisle tripping on an invisible bump. This sent him crashing to the ground and Hallie in tears.
"Daddy! Kyle ruined the wedding!" Hallie cried running to her father.
Heero smiled gently as picked her up. Gently consoling her, Quatre shot him a teasing grin. It figured on the day he'd finally marry Relena something like this would happen.
"I did not!" Kyle wailed in a feverish pitch, tears streaming down his face.
Immediately Relena ran to comfort her son. His tears dampened the white dress she had taken so much time to put on and her veil was attached to hair by a single bobbie pin. This caused the veil to nearly fall off her head. But it didn't matter to Heero. He'd marry her anyway he could.
Realizing just where she was Relena's face flushed, "Your not supposed to see me now are you?"
"I think it's too late for that."
Smiling Relena carried Kyle down the aisle. The guests laughed happily at this odd sight. Holding his daughter in one arm, Heero sheepishly held Relena's hand as they turned to face the priest.

"I'd like to make a toast."Duo announced clinking his fork against a glass.
"Oh great." Relena sighed remembering what happened at her brother's wedding.
"I've known these two since who knows how long. And surprisingly I survived. Well anyways I can still remember Heero's first girlfriend. Her name was Ivy I believe. Nice girl. Had great legs. There was that time I was looking through Heero's closet and there they were kissing. Haha. Remember that Yuy? You had your hand up her-"
"I think that's enough." Hilde interrupted jabbing him in the stomach with her elbow.
"Ow…Well anyways best of luck. Enjoy the honeymoon if you know what I mean."
"What does he mean?" Kyle asked turning to his mother.
"Um...well you know Duo he's always saying weird things."
"You know you'll have to tell him sometime." Heero whispered to Relena.
"I know." Relena grinned, "That's why I was hoping you'd tell him. After all you're his father."
Heero gulped at the thought of telling Kyle about giving him the "birds and the bees" talk. But knowing Relena she'd fine someway of making him tell Kyle. She always had that effect on him.

Well I'm done! Finally, huh? I hope you liked it, the chapter was longer than I expected. I'm in the middle of writing a new fanfic with Relena and Heero(big surprise ^_^) so hopefully I'll have that up soon. I was also wondering if my other fic should be either about Relena and Heero, Duo and Hilde and so on. I don't think I'd be able to do yaoi fics yet, because personally I don't think I'm good enough to get to writing yaoi. I don't read it very often and I'd just be hard for me.
