Hey everyone! Thanks for all the nice reviews on this story! Its so cool having fans. I hope you like this chapter and I'm thinking about making it a tragedy, so if you don't like those and don't like balling I would just stop now. Anyway, I hope you like this one. I have a bunch of stuff I'm working on and I'm sorry I couldn't get this one out faster. I have a sort of sixth since/Gundam cross over coming up soon. Keep your eyes out for it and I'm also working on a James Bond theme for another one of my stories. You can guess who Heero is... Yuy, Heero Yuy. LOL anyway, have fun reading and tell me what you think, good or bad. Well on with the story...
Chapter 3
Heero watched Relena as she played with a little girl's puppy while the girl played with her friends. They were at the park. He was sitting on a bench with both his arms out stretched, resting on both sides of the backrest. He watched as Relena threw her head up laughing as the puppy tried to jump up and lick her. She looked over at him and smiled. She stood up and picked the puppy up. She walked over to him and plopped the pup on his lap. He picked it up. It tried to wiggle out of his hold and lick his face at the same time. He smiled. Relena sat down beside him and gave a long happy sigh. He looked over at her.
"What are you thinking?" He asked.
"Oh, nothing. I'm just tired, that's all. I don't know how I'm going to be able to handle kids when a puppy can wear me out in less than fifteen minutes," Relena said quietly. The little girl ran up and asked for her puppy back. Heero handed it to her and smiled.
"Thank you for watching him," the girl said and ran off to her mother, who was calling her. Heero turned to Relena. He gave a light gasp. The sun had shown beautifully on her face. She had her eyes closed and looked like an angel. She opened her eyes and looked at him. He cleared his throat and regained his composure.
"I think when a woman has a child her natural instincts come out and she'll know what to do and have all the energy she needs, because her husband should be putting a little effort in too," Heero explained. Relena smiled.
"I agree with you, but I don't think I'll get that other half to have the energy," Relena replied.
"What do you mean?" Heero asked. Relena turned her head and watched a couple on the bench across from them whisper things to one another. They were in love.
"I mean I don't think I'll find that one guy to marry and then I won't have what it takes to be a mother," Relena explained.
"That's a lie," Heero said plainly. Relena looked back at him.
"And how do you know this?" Relena asked.
"Well, you're beautiful, smart, caring, and unselfish. You're what any sane man would want in a wife," Heero said.
"What about you? Would you think I'm a good choice for a wife?" Relena asked as tears filled her eyes. She looked up at the sky, anticipating a lame answer.
"If I had met you before Dorothy, I wouldn't have even considered her," Heero replied. Relena turned and looked at him. He was shocked to see tears flowing down her cheeks.
"Too bad all men aren't like you," she whispered. He reached over and wiped the tears away and pulled her into his arms and let her cry on his shoulder. Relena wrapped her arms around Heero and broke down. She didn't completely understand why she had, but she knew it had been building up for a long time.
"It's okay," Heero whispered to her and petted her head. "You're okay." Relena pulled up and looked at him. Their eyes locked and they both felt the power. Heero pulled a strand of Relena's hair back behind her ear. Relena touched Heero's cheek. Their faces came closer as if they had no control over what they did anymore. His lips gently brushed hers then they pressed together completely. Heero pulled her closer to him and Relena felt his body press gently against hers. Heero made one slow comb through Relena's hair, then the kiss ended. Relena looked at him and pressed her lips together.
"This isn't good is it," she whispered. Heero smiled.
"No." He stood up and gave his hand to her and to help her up. She took it and stood up. He put his arm around her shoulder and they began walking. "But you know, that's okay," He said. Relena looked up at him and smiled.
"Oh Lena, you are here! I'm so glad," Quatre said when he answered the door. He stepped aside and let them walk in.
"I'm sorry we're late," Relena said. "We just didn't realize the time."
"That's alright," Cathrine said from the kitchen. "I'm not done cooking just yet."
"Lena," Quatre said. Relena looked over at him. He grabbed the man beside him by the arm and pulled him up beside him. "This is Trowa," Quatre informed her. Relena put her hand out. He took it.
"Hi, I'm Relena Darilan. I'm pleased to meet you," Relena smiled and shook his hand.
"Hello," He replied quietly. They released hands.
"Oh," Relena cried. "Quatre, Trowa, This is Heero Cathrine you already met him."
"That's right," Cathrine smiled and looked at them. Quatre stuck his hand out to Heero. Heero politely took it.
"I'm Quatre Raberba Winner, pleased to meet you."
"Heero Yuy, It's my pleasure." There was another knock on the door.
"I bet that's Hilde and Duo," Relena smiled.
"Please, come and sit down," Trowa said and led them to their living room and to a couch. Relena and Heero sat down. Hilde and Duo came into the room only moments later.
"Ah, so you're here," Hilde smiled at Relena.
"And you're late," Relena replied.
"Of course you'd notice that," Hilde said and rolled her eyes. She stuck her left hand in Relena's face. There was a diamond ring on her ring finger. "Isn't it beautiful?"
"Uh yeah, but you know what it means if you wear a ring on that...finger," Relena said and looked up at Hilde then turned to look at Duo. He was grinning and blushing. "Do you mean that?"
"Yeah! Duo and I are getting married!" Hilde proclaimed. Cathrine came into the room.
"Oh that's wonderful news! Did you hear that Quatre, Trowa?" Cathrine cried.
"Yes, it is marvelous!" Quatre replied. Cathrine went back into the kitchen.
"Trowa, could you come in here and help me?" Cathrine said. Trowa went over to her and she handed him some plates. "Set the table please." Trowa took the plates from his sister and sat them on the table. Cathrine sat out seven glasses. Trowa took them and sat them on the table too. "Okay everyone," Cathrine said cheerfully. "Dinner is ready. Come and sit down!" Everyone got up and sat at the table. Hilde sat with Duo at her right and Relena at her left. One the other side of Relena was Heero, then Cathrine, Trowa, and Quatre. The food was in the middle of the table. Cathrine had made an interesting pasta and a home made salad. "Everything's hand made," Cathrine said proudly. "I hope you like it."
"I know we will," Hilde smiled. Relena knew Duo and Hilde were holding hands under the table. She smiled at them, but it was worrying her. She knew she was about to lose her best friend soon. Cathrine stood up and took the pasta bowl in her hand and put some on her plate then on Trowa's and around the table.
When she got to Relena she said, "I'm not too hunger, so I don't need too much."
"Okay," Cathrine smiled and put less on her plate then she did the others. Heero gave Relena a weird look. He hadn't seen this woman eat all day and she wasn't hungry? Something was wrong there.
"I'll just take the rest of Relena's half, Cathrine. I'm pretty hungry," Heero smiled at the sweet woman. Cathrine smiled back and put his on his plate. She returned to her seat.
"You can get the salad at will," she smiled. "Now lets get eating." Relena took a bite. It was delicious, but her appetite disappeared, as it usually did lately. The conversations swayed for one topic to another. They touched on the weather and on how baseball was going. The spoke about Hilde's wedding and Hilde told Cathrine that she could be one of the bride's maids and that Relena would be the maid of honor. Duo had a stupid grin the whole time she talked about the wedding. Relena wondered how two people could be best friends and lose each other, then find each other years later and fall in love in one day and have a wedding day set. She sighed. Love like that was unique and once in a lifetime. Relena wish there was love like that for her. This made her think of Heero. He was a married man. Was it wise to get involved with him? What if he was still really in love with Dorothy and he was just using her to retaliate agents Dorothy, or worse what if he did care about her, but couldn't get out of the relationship with Dorothy for some reason. What if Dorothy decides to get pregnant just to keep him? Would he stay? Oh, this was too hard for her now. She gave a long sigh and twirled a noodle around her fork.
"Relena, are you all right?" she heard a voice whisper in her ear. She looked over at Heero who had a concerned look on his face. She gave a weak, very see through smile.
"I'm all right Heero," she replied. "I think I'm a little tired, that's all."
"Would you like to leave?"
"No, I don't want to hurt Cathrine's feelings," Relena replied. Trowa and Quatre, along with Duo and Cathrine had migrated to the couch.
"Relena, is there something wrong?" Hilde asked. "You look pale."
"Should I take her home?" Heero asked Hilde. Relena got annoyed. It always annoyed her when people talked about her as if she wasn't there and when she was babied.
"I'll be fine!" Relena whispered harshly. Hilde looked deep into Relena's eyes.
"Take her home Heero. I think she's sick," Hilde said calmly and walked over to the couch and explained the situation to Cathrine. She gave a concerned looked and walked over to Relena.
"I'm sorry you're sick. I hope to see you soon. You're welcome here any time," Cathrine smiled.
"I'm sorry too. I feel so bad for doing this to you," Relena sighed and got up, but she got dizzy and fell back in her chair.
"Relena!" Hilde cried. She touched Relena's forehead. "Oh, you're burning up!"
"Here," Heero said and grabbed Relena. "I'll take her home." He pulled her out of the chair and into his arms. Relena rested her head on his chest. She couldn't think or see strait. How did this come upon her? She hadn't felt hot before. She sighed. She did feel dreadful now. Hilde ran over and opened the door for Heero. He went through the door and to the elevator Hilde ran on and pressed the up button. "I can handle it, Hilde. You go back inside and have a good time. Relena will be fine." Hilde looked upset and untrusting, but she nodded anyway and headed back into Cathrine's apartment. The doors to the elevator closed, but reopened unexpectedly and the woman Heero despised looked at him shocked.
"I see now why you wanted to divorce me. You wanted miss goody to shoes, huh? Well, that's fine with me!" Dorothy cried. Relena could barley see, but she could hear. 'Oh Heero, I'm so sorry,' she thought. 'I'm not helping at all...' then she completely passed out. Heero gave his wife a cold look.
"Get the hell out of here Dorothy. You know nothing about what's going on, and you're one to talk. Just who is Andres?" Heero inquired. Dorothy blushed, but it soon turned into anger.
"Don't you turn this around on me, Heero Yuy!" She cried. She stepped into the elevator and pressed the down button.
"Turn it around? If anyone's turning anything, it's you! You are the one having all the affairs behind my back and I get a friend of the different sex and you start accusing me of all these things!" Heero shouted. The doors opened to Heero's floor.
"Well then Heero, I think it's better for us to get divorced. Because your money was running out anyway. Andres had all the money I need and everything you never gave me!"
"Then God help the man! He's even more senseless than you!" Heero said heatedly. The doors began closing and all Dorothy could do was stamp her foot and make a horrible sound of anger. He knew Relena had passed out and that he needed to get her in bed as soon as possible. Today was a very long and odd day. He opened the door to the apartment and stepped in. he shut the door as Sank came up to him and sniffed his leg. Heero walked past him and into Relena's room. He sat her limp body on the bed. She was sweating badly. He went into the bathroom connected to her room and got a rag out of the drawer. He wet it down and folded it into a long rectangle. He came back into Relena's room and placed it on her forehead. He rubbed her face down and came down to her neck. She gave a light moan and tried to open her eyes. Everything was a blur. Relena couldn't believe how useless her eyes had become.
"Heero," she barley whispered, because that's all the strength she had to do.
"Shush Relena, don't try to talk," Heero replied. If her fever didn't break in an hour he was taking her to the hospital. 'She was just like this,' Heero thought. 'But everyone thought it was a bug and we didn't have to worry and for that reason she died... It was dad's fault!' tears began flooding Heero's eyes. "I won't let that happen to you Relena," He whispered. "I hope this is just a bug... and God I hope I catch it if it isn't."

Well since I've been writing I've decided this to be a tragedy, so prepare yourself. I think I might be crying when this story is over. Well, we'll just have to wait and see...
