Chapter 2
Relena stared out the window as she finished up the work she had taken home. After she and Heero were married, Relena started working as Mr. Barton's secretary instead. Maintaining a professional relationship at work proved to be a diffcult task that Heero and Relena just couldn't master. But she didn't mind. Trowa was still a fairly decent employer. Although he was rather quite and didn't talk very much he was still an agreeable person. And Relena was getting tired of calling Heero, "Mr. Yuy".
Laughter and the voices of 5 years olds could be heard from outside. Kyle and Hallie were in the backyard playing with their friends. Their yard had the tendency to accumulate more and more children every day.
"Hello?" Relena answered picking up the phone as it rang.
"Hey Relena. It's Sally."
"Oh hi."
"So how's the whole baby thing going?" Sally replied.
"Pretty good. Everyone's warming up to the idea and I managed to convince the kids not to name the baby Pikachu." Relena grinned, "I told them the children at school might tease it and the baby would need therapy. But we can't afford a therapist. Plus Pikachu Yuy sounds awful."
"How'd they take it?"
"At first the kids were rather hurt, but I think they've gotten over it."
"Well that's good. Got any other names for the baby?"
"Yeah, me and Heero thought we'd name the baby something with both our names in it, because it's our first baby together."
"That sounds sweet."
"Yea, but Heerolena doesn't sound very nice."
"Neither does Releneero." Sally chuckled to herself.
"Then we thought of Duey for a boy or Julie for a girl."
"You realize that the names will rhyme, Duey Yuy, Julie Yuy."
"I suppose you're right." Relena mused watching through the window. "Oh, and Duo suggested the name Duo for the baby, but Heero said he only had the strength to deal with one Duo. So far me and Heero can't agree on any other names."
"Interesting. But at least you have about 8 months to decide on a name. And by then names will be the least of your worries about the baby."
"I guess."

"So Kyle." Jonas replied as they say on Kyle's bed. "Where's that sister of your?"
"I don't know. She's probably with Iris or Alyssa." Kyle shrugged playing with his Wing Zero action figure. "Why?"
Jonas' face turned a vibrant shade of red. Embarrassed, he refused to meet Kyle's bemused expression and continued to play with his own Death Scythe action figure.
"Do you like-like her or something?"
"No! Of course not!"
"Yeah, you do." Kyle teased.
"No, I don't like Hallie! She has cooties!" Jonas denied.
"Just admit it Maxwell!"
"I don't like-like Hallie so shut up!"
"Hallie and Jonas sitting in a tree. K-I--"
Hallie walked into Kyle's room to find Jonas and Kyle on the floor wrestling. Slightly twisting one of her pigtails, she continued to watch them. For a while Kyle had managed to pin Jonas down, still Jonas kept on kicking and pulling Kyle's hair. She found it quite amusing watching them beat the crap out of eachother.
"You guys!" Hallie yelped, after realizing it was time to stop the fight. "Remember there's only pacifism in this house!"
"I-I'm sorry Ha-Hallie." Jonas shyly said, running his hands through his short chestnut colored hair.
"That's okay Jonas. Now remember, if you guys want to beat eachother up do it in the backyard instead!"

Heero sat in his "business" man chair, tinkering with the cap of his pen and revolving around in his chair. There was paperwork to be done and contracts to sign, but Heero couldn't get himself to actually start working. Usually he would have been hard at work, being a bit of a workaholic.
A book of baby names lay open on his desk. Heero had picked it up at the supermarket. Flipping through the small white pages Heero read a few names hoping to find one he and Relena could agree on. The latest arguments between them were cause by the naming situation, but the making up part was always fun. Looking through a few names, Heero tapped his pen lightly against the desk.
"Mr. Yuy?" Replied his new secretary Catherine, knocking lightly on the door. "May I come in?"
"Of course ."
Catherine walked into Heero's office holding a stack of papers, "Mr. Winner sent these to you." Tucking a few strands of her brown hair behind her ear, she placed the papers on his desk. "Mr. Yuy what are you looking at?" She curiously asked peering over the desk.
"Oh nothing." Heero said quickly, closing the book.
"Baby names?" Catherine chuckled, with an amused expression.
"My wife's having-"
"A baby. I know, Relena told me. Find any good names yet?"
"Not really. What do you think of the name Shingalingladena?"
"Um...sir, you can barely pronounce that name."
"I guess your right. But then we can always call her Shingie."
"I'm not sure Relena would agree to that name."
"Yeah. It's a shame though." Heero shrugged.
"I'm sure it is. Well I'll leave you back to your naming. Don't worry I won't tell anyone you're not working."
"I appreciate it."
Hearing the door shut, Heero dropped the book into one of his desk drawers. He examined the papers in front of him; as if they'd somehow start to move on his desk. Smirking at his habit of procrastinating, Heero slowly began to leaf through the them. He had to admit, it was time for him to work. After all Heero had been putting them off for long enough. And procrastination was a terrible habit, a stupid pointless habit. Putting the papers down, Heero took out the book of babynames again. His wife was having a baby; this was an exception.
