The Angels That We All Loose

When Angels Fall

Part 5

Quatre walked toward the music room and stopped when he got to the sliding, French, pocket doors that led into the room. From where he stood he could see Amanda, his little angel, only she wasn't so little any more. She was 16 and Quatre had stopped calling her his little angel some time back, but he still thought of her as his little angel. Amanda was draped over one of the 2 large chairs in the room, with her legs falling gracefully over one armrest and her back leaning against the other. She held the phone between her shoulder and her ear and talked to Trey, Trowa's nephew. Her feet bobbed up and down as she stared at the picture of her mother on the piano. People said that Amanda looked like a miniature Quatre in a dress, but all Quatre saw in her was her mother. The way she held her head when she laughed, the sparkle in her eyes when she was happy. Quatre was free to study both as his daughter, no, his little angel, went on with her conversation. When Amanda turned in the chair she noticed her father outside the door. She smiled and blew a kiss to Quatre. Quatre slowly slid one door open and walked inside. He quietly sat down in the other chair.

"Trey says he wants to come and visit soon." Amanda said to her father.

"When does he want to come?" Amanda repeated the question to Trey and replied,

"Is it okay if he comes next weekend?" Quatre nodded his approval and Amanda smiled, one more thing that reminded him of her mother. And then there was Trey. Quatre was glad that Amanda and Trey had gotten close. He suspected that one day the two would get married. Trey was a nice boy. Just the kind of person Quatre wanted for his little angel. Quatre looked down at his watch, they had been talking for over an hour now and Quatre knew from past experiences that it would go on for a few more. He didn't mind, as long as Amanda would still be his little angel.

Quatre would loose his little angel in less than a year. Soon after she turned 17 she would be gone, no longer to be Quatre's angel. You know how everything seems to look up just before they go down? Well Heero had dropped by one Sunday afternoon to talk to Quatre. Amanda was out and Heero had come to say goodbye. He was going to earth with his new wife for a while but promised he would be back for Christmas. Christmas was at Quatre's house this next year. Only Quatre's present would be taken away instead of given. His angel would be gone…forever.

Authors note: I know this part was a little short but that was how it was supposed to be! All of these chapters were to set the stage for the next chapter. Amanda will be 17 and her time will have come. The more reviews the sooner the next chapter will be out! If you want to email me, Christian.m.hall@att.net and I can answer any question about the fic or we can just talk!

Till next time,
