"The Gundam pilots and their allies have defeated Zodiac Prophecy. Now the Preventers have been started up again, with six new members. The suits used in the war won't be destroyed, but will be preserved as a way to defend the democratic government from more dictatorships." The reporter stated.

"Heero Yuy, you are Preventer Ice. Selena Lowe, you are Firebird. Quatre Winner, you are Desert Sands. Trowa Barton, you are Bullet. Chang Wufei, you are Dragon. Duo Maxwell, as usual, the Shini no Kami." Lady Anne declared. "You are now members of the Preventers, and as such, you have a duty to all the Earth Sphere. Do you accept this responsibility?"
"We accept." they chorused.

I'm not alone anymore. I have a wife, friends and a responsibility. Soon, a child will be on the way. Quatre came up behind Selena, and looked at the painting she'd just finished. The way she'd captured everything was just incredible. "That's beautiful, Selena."
"Arigato*. This one is not for sale." she replied. A sharp pain exploded from her abdomen. "We have to go now!" Three excruciating hours later, a baby girl was born.
"What is her name?" the doctor inquired, still eyeing Selena uncomfortably.
"She is Sirena Ariel Winner." Quatre declared.

Heero walked into the room with his wife, Relena of course, and their son. The Perfect Soldier looked at the bundle lying in his cousin's arms. She laughed. "Come here, Odin." Laughter crept its way around her words.
"Don't call me that."
"Well it gets your attention. Here. She is Sirena." Heero held her a little uncomfortably, unsure of what to do with a baby girl.

Once they were released, they went back to the house, only to meet the other pilots. "Hey, ladies! Some cute babies you've got there!" Duo cried.
"Duo!" Hilde smacked the back of his head. "Quit being such a flirt! You're going to be a father yourself soon." He blushed a deep crimson as he looked at his wife.
Quatre gently took Sirena from Selena's arms. Then, the woman went over and unveiled the painting. "Why are the mobile suits in the back round?" Lucretcia inquired, her three-year-old child clinging to her leg.
"I put them there because they are extensions of their pilots." she explained. Hilde looked closely at them. Duo sure had on his usual expression.
"We should keep in practice, for we never know when we will be needed again." Zechs declared.
That was agreed to by all. Danger could come when it was least expected, and they had learned that the hard way.
