I do not own Gundam Wing.
Blind Death
Part 4
Noin sat there in front of the Gundam pilots. They all looked at her with glaring eyes. She avoided them. Her guilt was too much. She didn't need more guilty eyes.
"Miss Noin, please tell us what you know of Relena's pregnancy and her child." Quatre asked.
Noin looked down at her shoes.
How could she tell them their secrets? What would they think of her? Would they hate her? All these questions roamed around her head. Finally she gave up and she told them the horrible truth of those ten months.
---------------------Flashback-----------------
Six years ago
Millardo, Noin, and Relena all sat eating their dinner. They had all gotten used to Relena's blindness and acted as if it had always been that way.
"I'm pregnant." Relena suddenly announced.
They all stopped eating. The servants weren't around. They were the only ones who heard Relena's confession.
"What?" Millardo said while standing up.
"I'm pregnant." She repeated.
"How? Who? How long? When?" Millardo asked while his eyes filled with hate and disgust.
"You know how. I'm almost two months pregnant. And I don't plan to tell you who." She sternly said.
"Dammit Relena. How dare you?! Is the father Heero Yuy?! Answer me Relena?!"
Relena stood up. Her head looked at the ceiling.
"No, besides it wouldn't matter. He doesn't want anything to do with me." Relena declared.
"Does he know?" Noin finally spoke.
"No, but it doesn't matter now." She said while walking away.
-------------------End of Flashback------------------
"The next few days. Millardo planned a long vacation to a well hidden place. No servants were to know about it, not even Pagan. They would be away from noisy people. No one would ever know. That was Millardo's plan."
"All forms of communication were taken away from Relena. For nine months and even more after the labor she was never allowed to communicate with outsiders. Not even the father."
"There were times when she almost said the father's name. But she kept her mouth shut. There even times when I found her trying to escape and even trying to repair the vidphones in order to tell the father of the child."
"But Millardo made it in order for a blind woman to be confuse. He moved the furniture around daily. She became depressed over the months and she refused to talk to either me or Millardo by the fourth month."
"Finally that day arrived. The day she gave birth to her child. It was a natural birth and Millardo and I with the help of a local midwife delivered the child into the world."
"It was a boy. Oh how that boy cried and cried. And how Relena held him. She was so happy. She asked us what she should name him. Millardo remained silent, but I chatted with her about the boy's name."
"The next few days were great. Relena had decided to name her boy, Andre Dorlian. She was so proud."
"But Millardo took the baby away from her. It was in the middle of the night. I didn't even know about it, not until the next day when Relena asked where her baby was. It was horrible. She cried and cried."
"Finally Millardo came back and we both asked him what had happened to Andre. And that's when Relena broke down. She died again that day. Millardo told us the child had died during the night and he sought to it that the child was looked over and soon to be given a proper burial."
Noin began to cry.
"Relena was never the same again. She never spoke of it. She never told the father and till this day Millardo nor I know who the father was. And now she's gone too."
Her sobs became harder.
All five men stood silent. No one said anything. There was nothing to say.
Until
"Who do you think the father was, Noin?" Heero asked.
"I don't know. Only the father of the child would know. All we know that it happened six years ago. If he ever knew of her pregnancy then he would know." Noin said.
Silence beheld the room again.
Suddenly another gasped was heard.
They turned to see Chang Wufei's lips silently trembling. His eyes focusing on the ceramic tile. His fists clenching together tightly. His eyes were watery and he seemed lost.
And that's when they knew who the father was.
It was Chang Wufei.
