Genesis
Chapter Ten
A New Beginning
{"Linda! Stop it!"}Yells Windy as she tries to pull her away from Ajack.
{"NOOO! He's a traitor! Damn you! Let me go!"} Windy throws Linda behind her into the arms of Jones.
{"What are you saying?"} Ajack is bloody and beaten from his brawl with Lark. He is now backed up against a wall.
Ajack looks for a route of escape but the BMB's are now surrounding him.
{"Listen, he is working for Brisk . . . "} It is Lark. He is coming out of the room Linda and Ajack ran out of. He is
bruised and is holding his left side. The area he is holding is covered in blood. {"He . . . he wants to kill Hilde . . . kill
us all! Don't . . . don't . . . "} He collapses to the floor due to blood loss.
"LARK!!" Linda runs to her brother's side. She hugs him and tries to give him words of encouragement. {"Please . . .
please don't die . . . not when we are so close! So close to being free. Come on brother! What . . . what about the house?
Remember? You said you wanted to buy a farm . . . like the one we had before . . . you wanted to grow vegetables and
fruit . . . "}
{"And I want a some live stock . . . maybe some ducks . . . yea . . . ducks would be cool . . . "} He forces a week smile.
Linda laughs as tears stream down her face.
{"What about a Meg . . . remember you said after this you were thinking of marring her?"}
{"Silly . . . I'm not going to die . . . not when he's alive."} Lark moves to get up. Ajack sees an opening. The BMB's
are looking away and he runs for it. ("I have to find her! She must die!")
{"Stop HIM!"} Says Linda and Lark. Ajack is easily pinned to the floor.
{"You fools! Don't you see? Hilde is the enemy! Everything that happened, happened because of her!"}
{"What are you going on about?"} Says Trowa. He walks up to the captured Ajack. The BMB's that have hold of him
move so Trowa can take over. Trowa picks him up and slams him in the wall. Not too hard, he does want Ajack to talk.
******************~(%&%)~******************
"Hilde . . . what are you waiting for? Kill him!" Hilde grips the gun with two shaking hands. She tries to steady her aim
so Duo will die without pain . . . it's the least she can do. Duo is still kneeling in front of her. He looks at her with
questioning eyes.
"Hilde. Don't listen to him." He says in a soft voice. She closes her eyes and lets the tears fall. She shakes her head.
"I'm so sorry Duo. He's . . . he's my father . . . I can't disobey him." She feels as if she's no longer in control of her
body. Which is true. Thanks to her father, Hilde is trained to be loyal to him. She was trained to fight, even kill anyone
who was against him. All part of his plan; his plan behind Brisk.
******************~(%&%)~******************
{"What do you mean by his real plan?"} Says Trowa as he ties the last knot that fastens the rope around Ajack.
{"You fools! Hilde is the enemy. All along it was about her! Training her to fly her damn Gundam and take over the
world!"} Everyone stops at what Ajack has just spilled. Unbelievable to Trowa is that the BMB's seem to be buying
what Ajack has to say.
{"Explain . . . "} Says August as she closes the escape pod's door, shutting the rest out from their conversation.
******************~(%&%)~******************
"Hilde! What's wrong with you?! He can't be your father! Remember they can clone!" Pleas Duo. He doesn't want to
die this way, not like this. He is only defenseless by the fact that he does not want to fight his killer. Ironic is it not? For
Duo, the God of Death, to die at the hands of a loved one? When it has always been the loved one who dies at his
hands?
"She won't listen to you boy. Only me!" Laughs the man. He places the girl down but still holds her hand. Duo glares
at the man with nothing but hate. His eyes narrow and he ties to get up . . .
Bang
Duo falls to the floor, grasping his shoulder. Hilde takes a step so she is standing above him. She aims her gun again.
"Don't move." Is all she says. Duo looks up at her shocked and pained. He takes a long look at her and sees that her
eyes are a dark blue now . . . clouded with emotions; fear, sorrow, confusion and pain.
"He's not your father . . . " Duo says in a soft voice. He closes his eyes in hopes she kills him quickly.
"Silly boy. I am her father. Not a clone! HAHAHAHAHAHA . . . " Duo winces at the man's laugh. Right now he
wishes he could just snap the old man's neck and blow this place to hell.
"H-how . . . how did you survive?" Says a soft voice. Everyone looks to the boy on the ground. He moves his head to
face the others. He looks severely beaten and almost dead.
"How did you survive Jonathan? I though you were left dead." Jonathan laughs.
"I-I asked first . . . " The man seems amused by that answer.
"Alright . . . When I was working with the other scientist to build Genesis, we were attacked. Our building was
bombed. The other scientist and I made it out with Genesis but . . . " He looks to the ground. ("What's this? The old
man has feelings?") Thinks Duo. "Your brother never made it out. When I lost him, I went mad! I swore from that day
on that I would end all wars! End the suffering and bloodshed! But first, I had to kill Brisk! Stupid fool never saw it
coming. He though I was dead and when I entered his tent and shot him . . . " He starts to laugh. " Oh! You should have
seen his face!" His insane laughter fills the room.
******************~(%&%)~******************
{"Hilde's father . . . he's . . . he's behind the whole thing! He killed Brisk and used the camps as a cover up!"} Ajack
struggles with the rope.
{"What is his real plan?"} Says Trowa.
{"He wanted to create a perfect world . . . without wars. He didn't know how to do it . . . but he figured something out!
And Hilde is the main player!"}
{"How?"} Says August as she shakes Ajack. {"HOW?!!"} Her force with Ajack becomes fierce and Trowa has to stop
her. He didn't really need to. Ajack's creepy laugh does a good job.
{"The whole camp . . . the wars . . . everything was done for her! HER! We suffered so daddy's little girl could become
a 'perfect soldier'! Everything we went through was to break her, mold her to her father's liking! Lark?" The wounded
boy looks over at him. Linda has cleaned him up and is giving him stitches.
"What?" He says coldly.
"You remember how they would always separate Hilde from the others. How they trained her harder than the others.
And how every night they would take her away! Brisk was a cover up for her father! He used Brisk to hide his true
plan!"
******************~(%&%)~******************
"To rule the world with my army of NM's and with Hilde by my side. With her Gundam of course. I was very upset
with her at her disloyalty to Brisk when she joined you but then I realized she could learn from you, making it easy to
crush you!"
"So Brisk didn't create the NM's?" Says Duo.
"On the contrary, he did. You see, Brisk was big and dumb. He had the right idea but his NM's could only live a week
and the are only half as strong as mine! My NM's can live up to four years!"
"I don't get it . . . w-why? Why father? All those BMB's! Why do that to them when you had the NM's?" Says
Jonathan.
"Because, you can train a NM only so much. They aren't that smart. With humans you can change your ideas in
seconds where NM's can't. They stick with one plan, even if it can be clearly seen that it will fail." He walks over to
Hilde and places a hand on her shoulder. "I needed the camps to train Hilde. She is my prize soldier! With research I
found that if you suffer trauma at an early age you become a better soldier, it makes you quicker on your feet and
utterly fearless! Now Hilde my dear. Kill this rat!"
******************~(%&%)~******************
{"You see . . . "} Ajack clams down. Tears starts to fall. {"My whole family . . . my life . . . our lives, all used to train
her. That's why I want her dead! To avenge my LIFE!"} August takes a step back. Everything he says seems true . . .
({"It all fits . . . "})
{"No. You're wrong. Hilde will never join her father."} Says Trowa.
{"You don't know what kind of power her father has over her! I have seen her kill a guard because he said her father
was a murderer!"}
{"I understand that. But there is something you don't know. Her father is no longer in control. The NM's are rebelling
and they have a plan of their own. One that does not involve the human race."}
******************~(%&%)~******************
"HILDE!!! I will not ask again! KILL HIM!" He screams in her ear. She closes his eyes while he screams and there is
an endless river of tears coming from her eyes. She shakes her head.
"Father . . . no . . . I love him . . . please don't make me! I don't want to!" Images of her mother and the horrors of the
Brisk camp flood her mind. She lowers the gun. Her father sighs, as if he was expecting this.
"I understand. I see I must do it!" He pulls out his own gun, letting go of the little girl's hand, and aims for Duo's head.
"NO!" Hilde jumps her father making the bullet miss Duo and hit the ground beside his head. Her father has a look of
horror. She quickly gets up and runs to Duo's side. She cradles him, making sure not to hurt his shoulder, and kisses his
forehead. Hilde whispers a thousand apologies to him, each with a kiss. She has lost so much in her life . . . and the
only thing that kept her going was her love for her family and her father. Now she lost that and almost lost Duo, her
only happiness and chance for a normal life. Her father gets up and walks over to the two. He looks down at his
daughter kneeling on the floor with Duo in her arms.
"Damn you! DAMN YOU!!!" Jonathan want's to help his baby sister but the shot in the chest has left him paralyzed
from the hips down. Hilde, Duo and the little girl stare at the man. "You did this! You made my little girl disobey me!
Now I have to kill her! All my work! All my time gone! Gone because of you! You little hooligan who can't keep his
hands OFF MY DAUGHTER!!!!" He aims the gun again to Duo and fires . . . and fires . . . and fires . . . till there were
no more bullets. The girl starts to cry, as well as Jonathan. Duo looks in horror at the body of Hilde. She took all the
bullets . . . She has thrown herself over Duo and took every last one. Her bloody body rest without movement . . .
"No, No . . . " Is all Duo can say as he wraps his arms around Hilde's body. He closes his eyes and doesn't fight his
tears . . .
"Hmm. Out of bullets already? Oh well. At lest she's dead."
Sarah smiled as she placed her master's gun down on his desk.
"Three bullets should be enough for him." She placed the remaining bullets in her pocket and left for a meeting.
He turns to the little girl. She shakes her head 'no' and steps away from the man. "I don't need her any more, the
traitoress slut. Not when I have you! You will replace her! You will be better! I know it! You will do as I say and
together we will rule the world! HAHAHAHAHAHA . . . " He stops when he hears a strange growl with a human tone.
He looks over to where Duo sits. He is holding Hilde close to him, not wanting to be away from her. He looks up at the
man through his bangs. Duo's eyes have a red tint to them, the result of having all his anger and frustrations in his life
boil up to their breaking point. He gently places Hilde down and stands up like a broken man. He starts to laugh . . . the
old man begins to wonder about Duo's sanity. Then the next thing the old man knows is that he is being held up against
the wall by a very mad Duo. Duo lets his fists do a down pour on the man's face and chest . . . wanting him to feel the
pain Hilde felt and feel the pain Duo is feeling and will feel for the rest of his life. All the others can do is stare. The girl
covers her ears for Duo is not only letting his fists fly but his tongue as well. ("Geez, he must be saying every bad word
in the book!") Thinks Jonathan as he watches his father's life be beaten out of him. Then Jonathan looks over to the
trapped Gundam pilots. They have wakened up know and are watching the same thing.
"What just happened? Why is Duo fighting that man!" Says Wufei. He looks over to Hero and that is all he needs to
see. He sees that Hero is looking at the bloody body of Hilde, the moving bloody body of Hilde. She slowly gets up.
"I...I...won't die . . . I won't die . . . won't die . . . " She says as she stands up. Hilde still has her gun and she aims for
Duo . . . steady . . . steady . . .
"HILDE NO!" Screams Jonathan but in vain. The trigger has been pulled and the bullet has made flight.
"Hilde . . . " says Duo without looking at her. He falls to the ground . . . taking the old man with him. Hilde too, falls to
the floor. All is silent except for the cries of a little girl . . . Hilde.
"Duo . . . DUO!!! I am so sorry!" She cries. The little girl walks up to Hilde's bleeding form. Hilde looks up at the girl
and cries even more. She sits up to hug the little girl. "So sorry . . . " Strong arms wrap themselves around her and the
girl, the arms of Duo. His blood and the mix of Hilde's and her father's stain his clothes. He hug her and kisses her
head.
"It's all over Hilde. We can go home now . . . come on. Lets get you some help." For the 50th time, Hero and Wufei hit
the very strong glass with their guns. Finally the fruits of their labor can be enjoyed. The glass breaks the two run to
their friends.
"No . . . no. Help that guy over there. I got Hilde." Duo ties to left Hilde up but his shoulder is in a lot of pain. "Hilde?
Why? Why did you do that?" She has a weary smile on her face has she takes a staking bloody hand to his tear stained
cheek. With all her energy gone, the hand falls living a bloody trail on Duo's cheek.
"I...I don't feel anything . . . He took everything . . . everything . . . " She starts to cry but her body is too weak to let the
tears fall. "I have nothing . . . fighting for my father . . . to save our family name . . . was everything to me . . . kept me
going all these years . . . now gone . . . gone . . . " She closes her eyes and does a heavy sigh. "It doesn't hurt . . .
anymore . . . " Her body falls limp . . .
"HILDE!!!! DAMMIT!! DON'T YOU DARE DIE!!" He yells at her, forgetting about his own need for medical help.
Hero has Jonathan and Wufei comes to Duo and Hilde.
"Duo . . . stop it. Let her go . . . " Duo punches Wufei with one hand while the other still holds Hilde.
"DON'T! She is NOT going to die! I won't let go . . . I WON'T!" He tries to stand up and this time is successful. He is
about to run back to the Gundams and get the hell out of there for Hilde when a laugh fills the room . . . Hilde's father.
He still lies on the floor in a pool of his own blood.
"I tried . . . to give the world peace . . . to win the world to make my own rules . . . rules that would work! I wanted an
army where no one would suffer if they died . . . but my own child betrayed me . . . killed me . . . " His twisted laughter
picks up again. "Oh well! At lest I won't be going to hell alone! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" He pulls out a small detonator
that is wired to blow the whole compound up!
******************~(%&%)~******************
Sarah gets off the floor and inspects herself.
"Nothing that bad . . . think I'll live." Suddenly the room goes dark and little red lights that hang from the ceiling go
off. The warning of self destruction. "Dammit!" She checks her wounded shoulder again. "Well, at least they will all
die!" Says Sarah as she makes her escape.
******************~(%&%)~******************
"Come on people! We don't have time! Lets move! Move, move, move! Everyone on board!" Instructs Noin. She waits
until all the others are on the escape pods before leaving. ("Hope you guys make it.") She says as the pod's door closes.
******************~(%&%)~******************
They are serenaded with Hilde's father's evil laugh as they make their way to their Gundams. Hero carries Jonathan on
his back as well as Wufei with Hilde, not to harm her any more than she is, and Duo holds the little girl. She is the less
strenuous to Duo's wounded shoulder.
"Is she still breathing?" Says Duo. Wufei gives him a cold look.
"For the hundredth time Duo, YES!"
"Sorry man but I love that girl and I'll be damned if I lose her now!" Wufei rolls his eyes but soon closes them as a
chilling to the bone wind comes across him. They have made it outside but it's too late, the underground complex is
blowing up. Starting with the area where Hilde's father is and it's working its way up to them.
"We don't have time for the shuttle!" Says Wufei. "We don't have a pilot for it!" He runs to his Gundam, with Hilde in
his arms now.
"Hold it!" Says Jonathan. "I can fly it. I'm not so hurt. Quickly! Put the wounded in the shuttle!" Hero puts Jonathan in
the pilot's seat and Wufei places Hilde down inside. Duo straps Hilde in as well as himself and the little girl. Hero and
Wufei have left and are now leaving. "Duo?" Says Jonathan as he starts the shuttle. "Aren't you going to get your
Gundam?" Duo grasps Hilde's hand. He takes one last look at his Gundam. "Duo?"
"GO DAMMIT!" He yells at Hilde's brother. Jonathan nods and takes off with the other Gundams. Duo watches as the
rest of the complex and his Gundam are blown out of existence. Jonathan pulls out a communicator from his pocket
and speaks in German to it.
{"Phillis? Start Genesis and send it home! Got it?"}
Under the House of Schbeiker
{"Yes. Sending Genesis home."} Says the wife of Jonathan. She sits in a little room, much like the cockpit of a
Gundam. Phillis can control Genesis from this little room. It is how Jonathan did it. She sets Genesis up and takes off as
it she were really in the Gundam.
Phillis and her family were trying to escape Brisk when they stumbled upon this house. That is how she came to know
Jonathan. Her father had found him in front of the house almost dead. With the help of her and her family, Jonathan
was able to live. The two soon fell in love and married. With the help of Hilde and StarGate, they were able to make the
control center for Genesis. Enabling Jonathan to be here on earth and up in space helping Hilde.
{"Is everything alright?" What is happing?"}
{"Don't worry about it. I'll be home soon. After I get my sister and her friends some help."}
******************~(%&%)~******************
"What is going to happen to me?" Says the girl. She looks up to Duo but he is busy making sure Hilde is still breathing.
The girl tugs at his sleeve.
"What?" He says coldly. She looks up at him with watery eyes. "Sorry kid. Uh . . . what do you want?" He says in a
calmer voice.
"My name is Madison, not kid."
"Sorry. Never cared to know your name." The girl looks hurt and Duo sighs. He shakes his head. "Look kid . . . I mean
Madison." She smiles at him. "You are a NM right?" The smile fades. She looks away. Duo is confused at why she
would be upset about it.
"So then you are going to kill me?" Duo doesn't answer. He doesn't know what to say. Right now he wants to hunt
down and kill every NM. He now knows that they were working against Hilde's father. Duo and the others were able to
find Brisk so easily because the NM's wanted them to kill Hilde's father. Which means they have something up their
sleeves.
"Unless you want to kill us."
"NO! I want a mommy and daddy. That's all."
"How old are you?"
"Three weeks. I know I look like I am six but we grow fast. In a year I will look like I am twenty." She smiles at him.
"You don't want to kill us?"
"No. You don't want to kill me?"
"Right now no. But if you try anything . . . I won't hesitate." She sinks back in her seat and lets Duo go back to looking
over Hilde.
A Hospital in Germany
"Stop it dammit! I'm fine! Let me go!" Three nurses try and pin Duo down in the medical bed. He will have nothing of
it. They fixed his shoulder and gave him a clean bill of health but still wont let him leave. "I'm FINE! Let GO!" He
pushes and tries to pull his way away from the nurses but they have one of his arms strapped to the bed. "AAAA!" He
pulls on his bad shoulder and collapse on the bed.
"See Heir Maxwell? You may be healthy but you are not ready to leave yet. You must let your arm heal." Says a nurse
as she ties the other arm down. Duo has made three escapes from his room and by doctors orders he now has to be
strapped in. "Your lady friend is alright. In fact she is doing much better than you! And she was shot three times in the
back." With that the three nurses leave.
"Yeah, well I'm in no need of help. DO YOU HEAR ME!!! NO NEED! I KNOW YOU KNOW ENGLISH! DON'T
ACT LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING!!! COME BACK HERE! LET ME
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"I thought to be shot in the shoulder would shut you up but I guess wrong." Says Wufei as he enters the room with
Hero, Relena, Millardo and Lady Une.
"Wow, the whole gang is almost here! I feel so loved." Says Duo in a sarcastic voice. "Where's the others?"
"We don't know . . . " Says Hero.
"You don't? What about Trowa and Quatre and Noin!"
"Don't know. We are trying to find them all." Says Lady Une.
"We won't give up." Says Millardo. "I know they are alive. We will find them."
"Yes. We will." Says Relena. The room becomes silent until the door opens to Jonathan in a wheelchair with his wife.
"Hello. Duo? How's the . . .uh . . . shoulder?" Jonathan looks at Duo and starts to laugh. "They tied you down! Why?"
Duo grumbles something under his breath but Relena translates it for him.
"He tried to escape to see Hilde. So to keep him down they tied him down!" Everyone breaks off into laughter, all
except Duo.
"Fine! Have a good laugh. I hope you bust gut laughing so hard." This only makes them roar with laughter.
Six Months Later
Preventors Headquarters
"Thank you." Says Sally as she sits at her desk.
"For what?" Says Lady Une.
"For bringing my husband home and not killing him. I know he can be a handful and sometimes hard to deal with."
"Sometimes? Sally, how do you stand him?" Sally laughs.
"You know, I have to ask my self that sometimes. But hey! I love the big pig headed lug!"
"We haven't found them yet..." Sally frowns and looks at her friend. "Hero is leaving to day to look back at the base
and see if..." Une turns away. There is no chance anyone could survive a blast like that. She feels helpless. Sally smiles
and tries to bring hope into the situation.
"We will find them...for all we know they could have been someplace else..."
"Yes. That is true but... Hilde's cousins. They never made it out."
"Une, you must have hope. I bet Hero will do his best..." Sally takes a pause before speaking again. "So you're saying
Hero is still there? How is Millardo taking that?" Sally laughs. Une looks at her weird and then it hits her. She laughs
as well.
"Not to well. He does everything to keep the two as far away as possible. However...Hero does seem to be avoiding
her."
"Why?"
"Don't know...Something happened. She told us but I feel it was only the tip of the iceberg. Relena isn't telling the
whole story and Hero...well he's not talking."
"How's Duo and Hilde? Wufei told me Hilde was shot three time in the back! Is she alright?"
"Wufei didn't tell you?" Sally shakes her head 'no'. "Well, Duo is fine. Nothing to serious and as for Hilde? She had to
stay a week in the hospital. Duo only stayed three days and the let him out but he wouldn't leave!" Lady Une broke
into a fit of laughter that caught Sally off guard. "They had such a hard time keeping Duo down and were happy to tell
him he could go home! Man Sally! You should have seen it..."
"What do you mean you aren't going home?" Said the doctor. His eyebrow did a little twitch of annoyance.
"You heard me! I'm not leaving until Hilde leaves!" Said Duo still in his bed. The three nurses that had tied him
down were coming closer to throw him out. Seeing this, Duo grabbed the railings on the bed.
"Why weren't you like this when we needed you to stay put?"
"Cause I didn't need help! Now let me see Hilde!"
"No! She is in critical condition and can't be bothered!" Duo jumped up from the bed and grabed the doctor's
coat.
"Just try and stop me." He growled. Then he let go and ran off.
"And he stayed by her side until they released her. They are back home now but..."
"But what?"
"They took some girl with them."
"Really? Who?"
"Never saw her before but there is something else!" Lady Une's voice picks up and she is smiling from ear to ear. Sally
makes a gesture with her hands to speed Lady Une up. "Duo asked Hilde to marry him!"
"Wow! That is wonderful but...so soon?"
"Oh Sally...you should see them. Makes me jealous. I believe that they belong together."
Hilde's and Duo's Home
Duo is quite a sight! His long braid stuffed under a chief's hat and an apron that says, "Kiss the Cook" covers his priest
outfit. He is singing some song under his breath while he stirs cake batter in a big green bowl. He has flour everywhere;
on the floor, counters, the table, chairs, on him and on the ceiling! But the funny this is, he is using a cake mix and there
is no need for him to take out the flour. Yes, he is a sight, and so is the once clean kitchen; quite a sight indeed that it
makes Hilde drop her bags and place her hands on her hips.
"Heir Maxwell! What have you done to our kitchen?" She tries to sound angry but Duo is just too cute to stay mad at.
He stops and turns around to say hello when he suddenly knocks over the eggs. Crack! Smash, Roll. The two look at
the one egg that some how managed to survive the fall. It rolls over to the side door that leads to the garage. Hilde sighs
and walks over to pick up the egg.
"Hey Hilde! How was you day?" He says has he watches her bend over to pick up the egg. He smiles but turns away
when he sees Madison smile at him. "Hello Madison. Done with your homework?"
"Yes Duo. Having fun?" He swats at her with a towel but she is too fast and makes it out of the room. She stands at the
door leading to the tv room and grins at him before running to her room. Duo smiles and returns to his cake he is
making. He looks over at Hilde who is looking at him with a 'what are you up to' expression.
"What was that about?"
"Nothing? Are you going to pick up the egg?" Hilde kneels down to pick up the one lucky egg that has rolled its self
into a corner between an old cadenza, which is used to hold the kitchen pots and pans, and the wall. Duo watches and
his mind plays back a memory of when the very same thing happened with Amber. He frowns remembering the crushed
egg and Amber's words.
"Why should we pick things up when we can……" Smash. She slams her foot on the egg letting it ooze out from
under her foot. "Crush them and start over? I will pick up some eggs tomorrow."
"Throw the egg away. We don't need it." Says Duo as he returns to his cake. Hilde looks at him over her shoulder as
she stands up with the egg. She walks over to him and places the egg back in its cartridge.
"Why? When it's so easy to pick things up?" She kisses his cheek and heads to the tv room. Duo smiles and is for the
first time in his life, happy. Everything seems to be working out. The NM's have all disappeared and the colonies are
safe as well as the rest of the world and most of all he has Hilde. Duo may hate her father but there is one thing he is
thankful for . . . he is happy he made her strong enough to survive three bullets in her back. Yes, life is most defiantly
grand. He would never change it for the world.
"Duo?" Says Hilde. He looks over at her and places the bowl down.
"Yes?" He says as walks up to her. She hooks a finger around the straps of his 'kiss the cook' apron and pulls him
close.
"Madison is going over to some friend's house tonight . . . "
"And?" He says in a teasing voice. He wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her closer. Hilde wraps her arms
around his neck and kisses his chin.
"And . . . I just thought you might want to know. Just so you don't go and plan something with the guys . . . "
"Why would I do that?" He kisses her lips then her cheek and next her ear. "When I have . . . "
"HEY! Get a room you two!" Says Madison as she carries her sleeping stuff out of her room. The two look at her
without letting go.
"We do have one." Says Hilde with a smile.
"Then use it. People don't want to see that you know!" She lets go of Duo and hugs Madison, who looks like she is
about Hilde's age, eighteen.
"Have fun and don't stay up too late!" Madison rolls her eyes.
"Yes mother." They all have a hearty laugh at that. But Madison's face becomes serious. She hugs Hilde tight. "Thank
you." She says in a soft voice. Hilde strokes her shoulder length hair and smiles.
"Why?"
"For letting me call you Mom." Tears almost fall but Hilde stops them. She hugs Madison tighter and lets her go so
Madison can hug Duo. "And thank you for not killing me and letting me call you Dad." Duo's heart jumps at the word
'Dad'. He looks over at Hilde who has nothing but love in her eyes.
"Aaaa, get going punk! You don't want to make your friend wait!" She nods and heads out the door closing it behind
her. Duo takes off his apron and wraps an arm around Hilde's shoulders. "Life can't get any better."
"I don't know about that . . . " She says as the heads off to their room but not before winking at him. Duo's smile
grows. ("I must be in heaven!") He head off after Hilde. ("I just hope this heaven can last tho!")
Amber's Home
"One more push! Come one Amber!" Says Jennifer.
"Dammit! I hate this! I hate you all! Why did you ask me to DO this? Why didn't you tell me it is going to HURT
THIS MUCH!!!" Jennifer screams as Amber's hold on her hand becomes a death grip. The room is filled with both
woman's screams and then the cry of a baby. They two stop their screams and look toward the doctor . . .
"It's a boy! A boy!" Says the doctor. The other staff crowds around looking at the baby. Amber lets go of Jennifer's
hand and starts to laugh. Everyone cheers as the doctor cleans the baby up and walks over to Amber. She takes the baby
in her arm and everyone watches in awe.
"He's cute." She says.
"Amber! Do you know what this means? We are going to survive! We're going to make it!" Says Kristine.
"Yes. With this child we will have our peace." Says the doctor.
"Yes. This child is our hope!" Says Amber.
