Wufei looked out the windows of the huge Winner mansion, it had been almost a week since he had seen his love, Quatre Raberba Winner, and he missed him terribly.
Of course it had a bit of a shock to find out that not only Quatre's best friend Duo would be spending Christmas with them plus sixteen children all of various ages, but Quatre's old lover, Trowa Barton and his sister Catherine.
Wufei wasn't exactly happy with this arrangement, but Quatre insisted that nothing was going to happen, Wufei relaxed a tiny bit, a *very* tiny bit.
A huge Christmas tree had been dragged through the double doors that morning, it too, soon would be ready. Quatre would be pleased.
Wufei heard them before he actually saw them, it's not hard to misinterpret the sound of a dozen or so children. The doors burst open and sounds of awe and wonder filled the room.
Quatre, Trowa, Duo and Catherine entered behind the children, all of them smiling.
"Wufei!" Quatre cried running into his arms. Wufei saw Trowa tense.
'Ah so he still *does* love him. Well he isn't getting him, Quatre is *Mine*!' And as if to push that fact even more, Wufei began to stroke Quatre's hair and kiss him. "Oh I've missed you so much."
"Me too...but we'll talk more later." Quatre replied giving him a sexy wink and indicating the guests.
"Hey Wufei!" Duo said. "never thought I'd see you again."
"Same here Maxwell."
The rest of the Gundams and Catherine got reacquainted as Rashid took the children on the tour of the house.
"Now Quatre, I have a surprise for you." Wufei said handing him a list. "These are all the people who will be attending our party on Christmas Eve.
Quatre read down the list: Noin, Millardo Peacecraft, Treize Kushrinada, Relena Peacecraft, Dorothy Catilonia, Sally Po...
He looked up in surprise. "They're *all* coming? You found all of them?"
Wufei smirked and nodded. "It took a bit of work, but I figured since we were having a little reunion anyway..."
Duo had taken the list and was now reading down it. "Heero isn't on here." he stated bluntly.
Wufei's eyes were now down cast, "He's the only one I couldn't find. I'm sorry but there just isn't anyway to track him."
Duo nodded. "Doesn't matter, we'll probably have more fun without him." Everyone in the room could tell he was heart broken.
"Um, Master Duo." A pale faced Rashid said coming into the sitting room. "It appears that we've lost one of your children."
"You *WHAT*!" Duo screeched. "Which one?!"
"Shelly." Jeremy said, no one had seen him before, he was hidden behind Rashid.
Duo took off in search of the little one armed girl with Jeremy close on his heals. NO one messed with Shelly in Jeremy's eyes.
"Duo really cares about those kids, doesn't he?" Wufei commented when Duo and company had left the room.
"Yes, he does." Quatre replied.
"Um...Is this the girl they were looking for?" Catherine asked from behind a chair. They all looked to where she was pointing, and sure enough Shelly was sound asleep in the chair.
After some coaxing she finally awoke to tell them that she didn't want to leave Duo, but she didn't want to interrupt either, so she hid in the chair.
"I think I'll bring her to Duo, he'll really freak out if he doesn't find her soon." Quatre said.
"I'll come with you." Catherine said. And followed Quatre out.
It was just Wufei and Trowa now, you could almost cut the tension with a knife.
"I saw the look you gave Quatre earlier." Wufei stated, not looking at him. "Don't think I'm going to let you take him from me."
"For you information, I've already tried to get him in bed since we re-met, he refused to cheat on you. He is a deep lover, so don't think that anything I do will make him hurt you. Even if he did love me...which he doesn't...he wouldn't leave you for me. You'd have to make the first move.
Wufei didn't have anything to say to that so kept silent. Trowa walked out of the room.

"Quatre? Can I tell you something?" Catherine asked Quatre, who was now holding a sleeping Shelly in his arms.
"What is it Catherine?"
"It's just...I know you love Wufei, and I know he loves you. But I wouldn't be doing my job as a big sister if I didn't tell you that Trowa has never been in love with anyone but you."
Quatre looked at the floor, he didn't know what to say. That much had been clearly obvious when they re-met. "Then why did he leave me?" He said almost in tears.
"He was scared Quatre...you had shown him something he didn't think really existed and he was scared, so he did the only thing he could, he ran away."
Quatre felt one tear leave his eye and journey down his face. "Well that was his fault. I'm with Wufei now."
"But do you love him?"
Quatre didn't say anything. Did he care for Wufei? Of course he did. But love? he had to admit there were no fireworks for Wufei like there were for Trowa.
"You're still in love with Trowa too...aren't you?"
Quatre didn't say anything to that either. They had found Duo.
