A/N: Having fun

A/N: Having fun? I really do hope you are. I certainly am. However, I wouldn't mind a few more reviews….So I'm going to try something a little different, just for this chapter. I might keep it up if I get a good response, though. I'm sure that a few of you know that I'm a spelling and grammar freak. Everything has to be just right or it bugs the hell out of me. Well, in this chapter, I've left one spelling mistake somewhere. The first person to spot it and review, with the error, can request a fic from me. It can be about anything, Gundam related of course, but no lemons because everything I write also goes on my site, which is child safe. Happy reading!

Disclaimer: Why do you think I would own this?? I don't own anything….Sometimes being a chibi sucks….But then, so does missing my vacation…..And I spent all my money to pay the expenses!!!!! I don't even have a penny now! //weep// But anyway, on to the fic!

~6 months later~

Duo moaned a little and rolled over. "Hilde…the phone's ringing."

Hilde groaned in return, "The phone's on your side of the bed, Duo…..Why in hell would anybody be calling at 3 AM?"

"I bet it's one of the guys trying to get back at me for some prank…." His next words were muffled as he pressed the button on the phone. "Whoever the hell you are, you better have a damn good reason for calling me on my wedding night……"

The response came in the form of a derisive snort and a high pitched giggle that ended in a stifled sob. "I hope we weren't interrupting anything….."

"No, but if you'd called an hour ago, I can promise that I would have unplugged the phone."

"Duo, open your eyes."

Duo opened his eyes the rest of the way and looked at the screen. "Heero! Relena! You're alive!! I don't believe it, it's been six months since anyone's heard from you! How did you get out?" Duo said in a rush. Beside him, Hilde jumped, and Duo felt her hand on his bare shoulder as she peeked around him at the phone.

"That's for me to know, Duo," Heero replied, his face deviod of emotion.

"Sure. I'm just glad to see that you're both okay. Why didn't you contact anyone sooner? Where are ya, buddy?" Duo asked.

"We're hiding; I can't say where. It was too dangerous for us to call before, it's still not safe for us to come out of hiding…Duo, we have a favor to ask of you…" Heero looked down, and Relena made no effort to stop her tears.

"Sure, Heero, anything. Anything at all. What's the favor?"

Heero paused. "I hate having to ask this…." he muttered, "Duo, do you think that you and Hilde could keep Faith for us? I-I'd really rather have her here with us…but it's just not safe…"

"Yeah, we don't mind, Heero. Not a bit. Faith's been with us ever since the bombing anyway. Well, she's with Quatre and Dorothy this week, though. It, um, would have been just a bit awkward for us to bring her along on our honeymoon."

"Are you ever serious, Duo? Oh, um, congratulations, by the way," Heero mumbled.

"It's alright if she stays with us, Heero. Please, Relena, don't cry. Everything will be alright soon," Hilde said.

"Heero, there's something I want you to do for me since we're watching Faith for you…." Duo trailed off, hoping his request wouldn't annoy Heero too much.

"What is it, Duo?"

"Promise me that when all this is over you'll come back to her. Even if it takes you so long that you're both all old and bent up. Faith deserves to know that her real family is out there somewhere."

Heero sort of smiled. Well, it was really more like a twitch of his upper lip. "Of course, Duo. We'll come back to her. No matter how long it takes to settle this."

"Good. And you better not forget that either, Yuy, or I'll have to hunt you down myself and kick your ass. Got it?"

This time it was Relena who answered. "Yes. I'm sorry, Duo, to leave you with this burden, but we just can't put Faith in danger…" Relena turned, sobbing softly into Heero's shirt. Heero looked down at his weeping wife and pressed the button that would terminate the call.

"Geez…He never was one for goodbyes," Duo muttered. "I wonder how Quatre's doing with Faith? He said he could handle her, but I think maybe we should call and check in the morning, huh, Hilde?"

No answer. Her hand was still on his shoulder, and he could feel her chin resting on his arm. "Hilde? You awake?"

Duo only sighed and decided to go back to sleep himself. After all, what else was there to do? He didn't think Quatre or Dorothy would be too terribly happy if he called them at this hour, and Faith was probably behaving herself.

A/N: Alright, I got the plot established. For the next chapter, we are going to go far into the future. Twelve years into the future in fact. What could possibly happen in that amount of time? Will Faith grow up happy and safe? Will Heero and Relena keep their promise to Duo? What happens to the other pilots as life leads them along its merry way? All these questions and more, yes more, will be answered in the next chapter, which will hopefully be longer than any of these others. And don't forget about the misspelled word thing! But review anyway. It makes me feel all warm and squishy inside! ^_^

Oh, and just so ya know, all flames will be removed, then sliced, diced, cooked to a golden brown and fed to Robyn_Windsong's dragons.
