True Beings Part 16 By Era-chan

~*~

"He's back."

The group turned to gaze at Relena, who had spoken at last.  They hadn't left the room ever since Heero left for his battle against the head minister of the dark angels.  Relena had not spoken one word, her thoughts elsewhere.  The group had been too worried about their friend, with the exception of Milliardo, of course.  They were concerned for him and for Relena, who was nearing the end of her pregnancy.

Suddenly, Heero appeared in the room.  Relena tried to stand up, but Heero went up to her chair, pushing her down.  He went down to his knees in front of her, putting his hands on her swollen belly, calming his son down as well as his wife.

The other Gundam pilots relaxed.  They knew that Colin was gone and there were no enemies left for them to fight.  There were still some mundane human battles to fight, but they can handle them easily.

Relena threw herself on Heero, who caught her easily.  She sobbed at last, the feelings that she had held back finally surfacing.

"Hush, angel.  Colin's gone.  There will be no more harm against us."  Heero brushed his wife's hair away.

Relena sniffled.  "But my job…"

Heero put his finger upon her lips.  "Those will be easy compared to the enemies we had recently fought.  Besides, I will know beforehand."

Relena smiled.

The other five couples watched the endearing scene.  Duo and Hilde grinned.  Quatre and Dorothy were holding hands and smiling.  Wufei and Meiran, standing proudly beside each other.  While Trowa had his arm around Midii.

Lucrezia turned to her beloved, who was frowning at the dark angel his younger sister married.

"Milliardo."

The white angel prince reluctantly tore his gaze away from the young couple and turned to his wife.

"Let them be."

Milliardo stared at the deep blue eyes staring right at him.  He knew that he didn't have a choice.  So he nodded his head in agreement.

Lucrezia smiled and squeezed his hand in gratitude.

Relena, after calming down, let her head settle on her husband's shoulder.

"Heero."

"Hmm?"

"Can we go home?"

Heero grinned, which was not seen by the others and Relena.

"Of course, angel."
