Destiny
Chapter 5
A final ending, A final love
After a long anilzation of everything that had happened, Relena Darlian came to this conclusion, Nicholas Minstro had been a rich ex-Oz member. After the fall of Oz, he planned to destroy Relena's kingdom and all that had strive to make it. These people were the Gundam pilots and everyone close to her. He lastly planned to kill her, but his plans went array when he finally met Relena Darlian. As Duo had said, anyone who met Relena and got to know her would love her. Nicholas still kept his hate for the Gundams pilots though. He found the saying "keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer" very useful. That was how he anticipated Relena's coming he also delayed the death of Quatre and Wufei, so he could watch the others suffer at their death. Relena did not know how ever, how Nicholas got into Zechs party. This proved Nicholas had connections. Wufei and Quatre checked up on this. There were roomers, but nothing confirmed and if there were people who knew Nicholas or his plans didn't anymore. Nicholas would be easily forgotten and the same with this battle, but there was one thing that Relena couldn't forget. As a woman the abuse she took was brutal to her and her self-esteem. When some one who wants to kill you sticks their hands up your dress you become a little disoriented. This also up set Quatre's and Trowa's balances with each other and women. They were each attracted to Relena's slender legs and her cries aroused their senses. Quatre was close enough to Relena to discuss this with her.
"I don't understand it Relena," Quatre started. "I was attracted to you when, when that man was hurting you like that."
Relena looked at him a little shocked, then smiled, "I don't think that's something you should worry about, Quatre. I think it's natural. Have you ever seen a woman like that before?"
"No," Quatre admitted.
"You have twenty nine sisters." Relena pointed out.
"Yes, but rarely saw them, and never saw them, saw them like that."
"I wouldn't worry about it, Quatre. I mean if you and Trowa are in love than no one else or their bodies should matter."
"But that's just it, Trowa felt the same way."
"Then maybe you two should experiment with women. You might be surprised," She smiled and took a sip of tea. "But that's only if you and Trowa feel you need to."
"Yes Relena, you're right. I'll talk to Trowa, but I don't know."
"Do how you feel Quatre. That will always lead you where you need to be." Quatre smiled, stood solutes his queen, then left. Relena leaned back in her seat with her tea and looked out the window. Remembering everything that had happened with Nicholas. Those burning green eyes, his touch so soft and strong. She gripped her teacup tighter. She still held the bruises on her breast from him grabbing her so brutally. It was hard remember his dead body though. That must have been something too hard and hurtful that she just voluntarily forgot it. She felt the teacup chip in her hands. She looked back down at her cup. The tea was dripping down through her hands. She set it back down on the tray and took her napkin and whipped her hands off. She was glad that it hadn't had a chance to leak onto her dress. There was a knock at her door.
"Come in," she said and stood up. The door opened and Wufei walked in. "Good morning Wufei, how are you?"
"I am fine, Miss Darlian," He replied.
"Please Wufei, call me Relena." Wufei looked at her uncomfortably. "Please sit." He walked to the chair across from her and sat. She sat herself. "Would you like some tea?" she offered and picked up the teapot.
"No," Wufei replied. he paused. "No, thank you." Relena sat down the teapot.
"Suit you self. Now Wufei what is it you need?"
"I, I want to tell you that you have my respect. I have been underestimating you. I thought you were weak, but I don't think you are anymore. You have to be a strong woman to inure what you did. I'm sorry about what I said about you... Relena," Wufei paused and looked at her. Relena's look was shocked but it turned into a smile, a loving, and understanding, wise smile.
"Thank you, Wufei. You don't know what that means to me." He stood up and bowed. Relena stood too and bowed. Wufei left. She had now eased up. She took an extra teacup off the tray and filled it with tea. This time she kept Nicholas out of her thoughts. She also tried to keep Heero out too. She hadn't seen him sense they all got off the plane. She wanted to, but then again she didn't. She couldn't believe how confused she was about her feelings. She now understood why Heero had such a hard time with his feelings. She knew wondered what he was doing. When she was younger that was all she could think about usually, but now she had matured. She thought of everyone else now. She was glad Zechs hadn't been there when Nicholas hurt her. He would have been killed trying to save her. She did not tell him or Noin anything about what happened except that they had been defeated and not to worry. She sipped her tea quietly. She wished Quatre was here to play a tune on his violin. That would have been comforting. There was a knock at the door. Relena stood up and walked to the door, not really sure why. She concluded that she just wanted something to do. She opened the door and her eyes became wide. His dark frame stood in the door way so calmly, but yet in his eyes were filled hurt, confusion, and fear.
"Heero," she whispered surprised. He put Relena's face between his hands and pulled her face to his. He felt so uneasy but determined. He kissed her. He was shaking. Relena was even more surprised, but suddenly happy. She fell into the kiss by putting her arms around his neck and opening her mouth to let him in. He gently forced her into the room and closed the door with his foot. He led her to her seat. She fell in her chair and her lips were pulled from his. He replaced them quickly. He put his hands on the arms of the chair, pinning Relena in. she didn't mind at all. This was what she had been dreaming about for five years. He pulled out suddenly and looked down at her. She caught her breath and looked up at him. She was so confused now. What did he want from her? He walked to the chair across from her and sat down, not taking his eyes of hers. She leaned back regaining her composure.
"What was that about Heero?" she asked. He didn't answer and keep looking into her eyes. She didn't become uneasy about this. They had always had starring sessions. "Hum?" she was becoming angry now. She stood up. "Why are you doing this to me? You come in here and abruptly kiss me..."
"Why have you been avoiding me?" he asked his voice piercing the air. She gave him a shocked, confused look.
"Avoiding you? I, I have not," she lied, it was something she could never do very well. She couldn't look him in the eyes, she knew this gave her away. He stood up and walked over to her. Her heart began racing. He came up to her. He was only inches away from her body, but he made no attempt to touch her in any way. "Why Relena?"
"Because I want to fall out of love with you and have a life, have a family, and have someone who loves me give me a family!" she cried. His jaw tightened. He was mad! She couldn't believe it. She would have thought this would have pleased him. She knew she had always been a nuisance to him. He turned away from her.
"Then you have no idea, do you?" he said and didn't look at her. "I guess you couldn't. I didn't know myself until I saw you with him. And when he was hurting you like that. Doing things to you. You have no idea how it hurt me. It was amazing I couldn't believe my emotions. I've always said act on your emotions, but I've always neglected the emotions I had toward to you, maybe because I thought your feelings would always be there, but when you ran from me and you weren't there when we stayed here for that week I couldn't believe how it ached. Worse than any wound I could have ever experienced. Not seeing you. I couldn't tell anyone, especially Duo, I know how he used to feel about me. I thought about that. I do care for him, but nothing like that. That's why I was so glad he found Hilde. She was the real love of his life, but I admit it did hurt at his wedding." Relena couldn't believe that he was pouring his heart out to her. She wanted to comfort him. Touch him, kiss him, but fear held her back. She didn't understand what he was saying. He turned back to her. His eyes were filled wit tears. This caused Relena's eyes to fill with tears too. She couldn't stand him crying. "Relena, you have no idea how much pain I've gone through, but none of it stands up to the pain I felt when I saw you kissing him." He touched her cheek and wiped away a tear. "I, I love you." Those words, those words. They were something Relena had been waiting for her whole life and now it was too much. She burst into tears. He pulled her to him and tilted her head up to his. She grabbed his cheeks and pulled his lips down to hers. He was crying too.
"Oh Heero I've loved you forever!" she whispered. He swept her off the ground into his arms. She held onto him tight and buried her face into his chest. They were both sobbing. He carried her out the door and down the hall to her room. He sat her on the bed gently. He rubbed the tears from her cheek and bent down and kissed her. The kiss was long soft and gentle. He kissed her eyelids and all over her face. He whispered something she didn't understand, but she didn't care. All she wanted all she needed was right here in her arms. Every dream she had made was now coming true. He fell completely on her. They rolled farther into the middle of the bed. Heero still on top. He stopped kissing her and just held her and brushed her hair back, looking deep into her eyes. He bent down and kissed her once.
"I want to wait until it is official," he said quietly. "I want to have you as my wife for our first time." Relena looked up at him stunned and totally content. This was what she had dreamed of.
"I love you," she whispered. He got off her and pulled the blankets over her and tucked her in like a child. He kissed her lightly before leaving. He stopped at the door.
"I'm sorry Relena, that I didn't know sooner and I'm sorry that I hurt you for five years because of my arrogance." Relena just smiled.
"That is why I love you," she said and then fell asleep.

One year later:
"Push Relena push!" The doctor cried. Relena winced and pushed as hard as she could with her knees up her legs open. She wanted it out of her now. Trowa and Quatre sat on the other side of the room looking horrified. Duo was laughing.
"What do you think is so funny?!" she said with clinched teeth. He pointed over on the other side of her. She looked and there was Heero just as he passed out.
"One more push should do it," the doctor said. She gave it her best. She heard a wail and the doctor was suddenly holding a beautiful baby girl. "There you are Mrs. Yuy. A beautiful, healthy baby girl." They took care of all the basics a newborn had to do. Then they gave the child to Relena. Held it so gently. It looked up at her with Persian blue eyes, Heero's eyes. By this time he had regain conciseness and was holding her hand. He stroked the baby's face with his hand.
"What are we going to call her?" Relena asked.
"Destiny," Heero said. "Destiny."
