"You're coming?" Duo question relief flooding through him like a tidal wave, he was so relived he almost sat down. She was coming with him of her own choice that meant no fighting kicking and screaming. He had been fully prepared to knock her out cold gather her stuff and take Marcail and her and leave. Thankfully she was working with him for once.

"Yah" she whispers "I don't want Marcail growing up without a father and you're here so" she shrugs making little gestures at him with her hands, before she sighs "I don't know what else to do" she murmurs shaking her head softly before she gives an ironic laugh. "Funny how the people you run from are the ones who always go back to."

"Why did you run Hilde?" he questions
"I can't talk about it just yet" Hilde says shaking her head blinking rapidly.

"Why not?"

"Duo can't you just leave it well enough alone?" she snaps her eyes blazing blue fire "I don't want to talk about it okay?" She yelps turning to walk away "I think you should leave now"

"No babe its not okay" he responds gently grabbing her wrist and pulling her backwards "But I wont push you right now…. As for the leaving fine I can take that. I will be back tomorrow night for the two of you so be packed an ready if you need help getting your stuff together here is my number and I will come by and help okay?" He says to her still turned back. Pressing his number that he had scrawled onto a scrap piece of paper. "I will see you later Hilde"

Turning around she frowns, he was already gone. "Dangit Duo" she murmurs "Have you been taking lessons from Heero?" But as the perfect solider was known for, Duo was already gone.

"But mommy why da ee have to eave?" A tearful Marcail wails tears streaming down her face "I don't wanna eeve, who whill I pwa with" she wails. Rocking Marcail back and forth she sighs softly.

"Marcail sweetie do you remember when we talked about husbands, and fathers?"

"Uh hu" she replies looking up at her mom through her now red rimmed eyes. "What dat got to with dis do" she slurs through her tears.

"Now remember the guy who stole your hair?"

"Du uh"

"Well he is your daddy and my husband," she says

"But you said you didn't hafe a hufband" she says her eyes going wide "Where did he tome from?"

"The colonies sweetie, and were going to go live with him now" Looking up at her Mom she frowns

"Will he get me a styth?" she questions

"He might" she answers inwardly knowing that he would get her as many as she wanted especially since it was HIS gundam that she loved so much.

"Ota den" she says "Will Mark be coming wide us?"

"No sweetie Mark is going to stay with his mommy here on earth"

"But who is dere to play with on da olony?" she questions tears filling her eyes once again "I don't want to eve my Mark" she wails as tears start to stream down her face once again.

"I know baby" she whispers as her own tears threatened to overcome her. What was going to happen to them? She knew that Duo would take good care of both of them, but Mary had become her backbone in the past few years what was she going to do without her?

Packing, Hilde decided, was awful; no it sucked, majorly. In face she never EVER for the rest of life wanted to do it again. She just wondered how Duo was going to get everything back to the colonies. She was feeling a little guilty because it was going to cost two months pay just to get the stuff to the colonies. They had never lacked for anything when they were together but she couldn't imagine him having the money for all this and being okay with it later. At least she could pay for their transfer back to the colonies herself, since she had a nice little egg nest saved up.

Looking over at the clock she sighs, it was eight thirty and Marcail was still conked out the poor thing. She had really knocked herself out with her crying over Mark. And then when they had said goodbye and he had given her his little Deathsycthe, it had gotten even worse. It didn't help that her and Mary had shed their own tears, promises to call and write daily. She was going to miss her friend badly.

A knock at the door alerted her to Duo's presence. "Hilde are you ready?" he questions softly at her questioning look he smiles "You left the door wide open so I just walked in" he explains. Nodding slowly she picks up Marcail adjusting her to her hip.

"Ya just let me get the bags," she says slowly picking up hers. Leaning down Duo beats her easily to the other two.
"I got these" he whispers softly "And don't worry about the boxes I have made arrangements for that stuff." Nodding she follows him out the door and towards his car. Blinking she fights back a yawn, she had never in her life been this tired. Even through the wars and Libra and the sleepless nights worrying after Duo had she been this tired. She was chalking it up the mental and emotional stress. Not a good thing right now. 'Be strong Hilde' she coaches herself 'and do not fall asleep'

Sliding into her seat at the airport she sighs softly. Marcail had gotten the window since it was made for tiny tots, and quiet frankly it was probably better this way. Yawning loudly she sighs softly, she hated night flights and she always had but she understood why they had taken one. Just in case someone recognized his name and made a scene, and right now they could not afford for anything to scare Marcail.

"Tired" Duo, says as he buckles himself in.

"Yah" she mumbles blinking to stay awake.
"Then go to sleep" he replies, shaking his head. "Nothing is going to happen to you or Marcail on this plane"

Nodding she leans back in the seat letting her mind wander before she knew it she was fast asleep.

Stretching in the cramped space of the plane Duo smiles to himself before chuckling. Quatre was wise beyond his years and his little scheme of letting him think that HE was doing him a favor just proved that. Looking over the stock portfolio he just shakes his head. Oh yes Quatre was very sneaky indeed. Smiling he turns and looks at Hilde, the poor thing had fallen asleep before the plan had even taken off. Adjusting his arm slowly as not to wake her, he moves her head gently from were it had fallen on his shoulder to a more comfortable position. His grin increasing in width, he smiles at his family. Yes, he the great God of Death had a family and once he found out why she ran he was going to make sure it never happened again. Because he was never going to let her leave him again.

Rolling over Hilde sighs softly, before stretching easily. That was until she opened her eyes, sitting bolt right she fights back a scream. "Where in the?" she murmurs frowning darkly. She was in a small room; it was full of pinks, blues and yellows. "What the"

"MOMMY" Marcail yells jumping on the bed and hitting Hilde at fully throttle "You FINALLY woke up" she says on her face a beaming smile, her eyes bright with happiness. "Dere is an at, and an og and, and, he has a BIG otoertythle, and, and, oh Mommy you have to come see" That said she runs back out of the room with as much force as she entered it. Smiling in amusement she sighs, looking at the window she blinks. In front of the house was a huge park, or at least that was if this was the front of the house.

"Oh my" she breathes

"Mommy" Marcail says running back into the room her little hand covering her mouth "I forgot to tell you eakfat is ready" Nodding her little head in satisfaction that she was done for good this time, she turned and ran back outside.

Shaking her head, she opens her suitcase and throws on some clean clothing. "Ugg" she mumbles "Traveling is not only hard on the body but it's hard on the clothes to." Grabbing her glasses to pulls them on quickly. Opening the door she frowns, there was a hallway as well as two doors on either side of her. Spotting a staircase farther down she shrugs and heads down it quietly. Hitting the bottom she blinks in shock. There was a huge living room as well as a dinning room connected to it. Two other hallways emerged from the bottom of the staircase.

"The ithen is dis way Mommy" Marcail says appearing from now where and grabbing Hilde's hand. She then proceeded to lead Hilde through the house and towards the Kitchen giving a tour as she went. "Dats the iving oom, and dat is the dinning oom, and dat is the hall way that leads to the guestroom. And dat is da way to the pool" her tiny little hands moving rapidly she grins "And dat is da toy room, but we ave to get toys to go in dere and den dat is da kithen." Dropping her hand she runs through the swinging door giggling like a mad man.
Following at a slower pace Hilde opens the door only to have her senses assaulted by smells that hit her in the face. Standing over a stove was Duo and he was wearing an apron that said #1 chief on it.

"Morning Daddy" Marcail says grinning up at him "What for eakfat?"

"Well Marc we are having pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes have you ever had those before?" He questions while scooping up the small girl and placing her on the counter next to him.

"Yep, Mommy makes them all da time, me wuv dem"

"She does? Well, isn't that nice of her" Duo says handing the girl some chocolate chips.

"Yep, don't you Mommy?" she questions. Turning Duo blinks before she smiles at her. Looking her over he blinks before turning back around.

"Ya" she says softly squirming slightly. She had gotten into the habit of wearing unflattering clothing after she had moved to earth and her glasses were a big help on scarring away possible suitors. 'Duo is no different silly girl' she chids herself. 'You are not changing your style for him or anyone else, that will just get you more pain, and' Shuddering she broke off that thought, that was forbidden territory for even her.

"Mommy you ota?" Marcail questions frowning at her

"Yes sweet heart I am fine"

"Are you dure?"

"Yes punkin"

"Okay, can we go to the park later"

"We'll see" Hilde says walking over to her and Duo "Can I do anything" she questions softly. Looking down at her in surprise Duo shakes his head.

"Naw I got it under control" he states easily

"Okay" Hilde replies backing away again.

"Mommy"

"Yes sweetie"

"Can we still get Mark his good book pwease?"

"Yes, we can sweetie"

"Good, ause he needs one"

"I know"

"Mommy"

"What sweetie" Looking up she grins mischievously "I didn't have to take a bafe last night"
