Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing, Nestle Crunches, Tootsie Rolls, or
anything else you might think I own. I own nothing but the brain that came
up with this idea. I make no profit everything's just for Fun! Remember
this takes place after Endless Waltz, but it's AU only in the fact they
still own their Gundams.

Chapter Two: "Tootsie Rolls and Other Surprises."
To Trowa's current situation...
'Just tell her.' Trowa kept telling himself outside Catherine's tent. 'I have to just tell her.' Trowa went into Catherine's tent. "Cathy?"
"Hey Trowa?" Catherine asked while she combed her hair in front of her vanity. "Do you think I should name the baby Jimmy if it's a boy...or should I name him Trowa after his uncle?"
Trowa stepped back suddenly and tripped over a circus ball.
"Trowa?! Are You Okay?" Catherine asked worried as she stepped over to Trowa's side.
Trowa got off the ground. "I'm fine."
"Are you sure? You landed on your butt pretty hard!" Catherine laughed.
A tinge of pink hit Trowa's cheeks. "I'm fine Cathy."
Catherine strolled back over to her vanity.
"Cathy?" Trowa asked quietly.
"What?" Catherine asked.
Trowa looked toward the wall. "Catherine, if you have a son, you shouldn't name him after his father. Jimmy's a better name."
"Mmmm...okay." Catherine replied picking her brush back up.
Trowa looked towards the ground. 'She didn't catch it. Now what?' Trowa sighed. 'I can't dance around the subject. I must tell her direct.' "I recieved a letter today telling me that the Gundam pilots are the fathers of five unborn children. One is yours."
Catherine turned around to face Trowa. "Really? Which one?"
Trowa handed her the letter.
"...Nuh-uh." Catherine denied.
Trowa looked sadly toward Catherine. "I'm sorry Cathy."
Catherine sighed. "It's not right Trowa...I was supposed to get the cute pilot with the braid."
"W-what?" stuttered Trowa.
"Huh? Nothing...Trowa?" Catherine asked softly.
Trowa looked at Catherine. "Yes?"
"Are you going to finish that?" Catherine asked looking at his left jean pocket.
Trowa glanced down at his stashed Hershey's Cookies N Creme candy bar. "...I just bought this."
"Trowa?" Catherine prompted still looking at his candy bar.
Trowa took the candy bar out of his pocket and looked at it. "...it's the last one though Cathy."
Catherine looked down at the ground. "Trowa, I'm carrying your unborn child." she stated softly. "The least you could do is give me a candy bar."
Trowa quietly sighed and handed over his cherished candy bar. "Cathy?"
"What?" Catherine asked opening up the packaging.
"...I've been informed that the others have recieved the same letters. We are supposed to meet and discuss what to do next at a certain undisclosed location." Trowa replied.
Catherine started nibbling the candy bar.
"They are bringing the other women with them. You should come to." Trowa replied staring at her. 'She's almost done already?'
"Okay." Catherine replied throwing the candy bar wrapping into a nearby trashcan. "Trowa? Are you going to eat the Nestle Crunch and the Twix in your back pockets?"
"Cathy!" Trowa shouted.
Catherine looked at the floor again."What? Carrying your child, and having to go through the pain of childbirth, is only worth one candy bar?"
Trowa sighed and grumpily handed over his other two candy bars.
"I must leave now. I have somewhere I need to be." Trowa said as he turned to leave.
"Trowa? How do you feel about all this?" Catherine asked concerned.
"...I'll be fine." he replied quietly.
"Trowa?" Catherine asked again.
Trowa turned back around. "What is it Cathy?"
Catherine slowly started to sing. "Tootsie roll candy with the chocolately chew. Tootsie roll I think I'm in love with you. Whatever it is I think I see, becomes a Tootsie roll to me."
Trowa winced. He knew she knew. He reached in his bottom pocket and threw his last three Tootsie rolls toward her.
"Thanks Trowa!" he heard happily as he left the tent. He walked slowly down the side of Catherine's tent mourning his loss. 'I lost all my candy in less than five minutes.' Trowa felt his empty pockets. 'I wonder if any of the others are better off than me right now?'

Wufei paced back and forth on the porch. "Justice must be done...I don't want to. I just need to protect her...the child deserves a strong father!...but do I really...I have to! It's an injustice if I don't!"
"What kind of a stupid otoko is yelling at my front door?!" he heard being yelled from the house in front of him.
Wufei grew quiet as the door suddenly opened.
Wufei looked in front of him. "Mae Linh."
The woman looked back at him angrily. "Who are you and what gives you the right to yell on a pregnant woman's front porch?!"
"Mae Linh." Wufei repeated. "I am Chang Wufei. Do you remember me?"
Mae Linh looked at him carefully. "You've grown. Well Wufei, what are you doing here?"
Wufei looked at the letter in his hand when it was suddenly snatched away. "Injustice Onna!"
"Weakling otoko." Mae Linh replied casually.
"I'm not a weakling!" Wufei yelled back.
Mae Linh examined the paper. "...is this true?"
Wufei shook his head yes. "Great." Mae Linh said sarcastically. " I can't believe your the father. I suppose if we have a boy we'll name him after you."
Wufei shook his head in disagreement. "I don't want him named after me."
Mae Linh looked back at Wufei. "True, Weak Otoko would probably get him teased a lot."
"Onna, you haven't changed!" Wufei replied.
Mae Linh smiled sweetly. "You're right. Thank you Wufei."
"It was not a compliment!" Wufei shouted angrily. "-and why are we talking about baby names?! I'm here to protect you, not raise this kid!"
Mae Linh looked at him angrily. "Well fine! If you're not strong enough to stay, then get off my front porch you weakling!!"
"I am too strong enough!" Wufei argued.
"Prove it!" Mae Linh shouted.
"Fine then! I will!" Wufei shouted back.
"Of course! It's injustice if you don't!" Mae Linh yelled. "Don't worry. I'm not naming this baby after you."
"Thank you." Wufei replied.
Mae Linh smiled. "I have already decided to name her Mingh Loh."
"Her?!" Wufei yelled. "No! Wufei Chang will not have a weak onna!"
"Well, I'm not giving birth to some weak otoko!" Mae Linh yelled back.
Then Wufei noticed the crowd that was forming behind him. "What do you want?!"
"Some peace and quiet!" the man yelled. "It's 2:00 in the morning and you two are yelling at the top of your voices!"
Wufei looked back at Mae Linh. "Were we yelling?"
Mae Linh looked back at Wufei. "I don't recall us yelling."
"Of course you were yelling!" A woman shouted out. "So loud even I know that you're the father of that baby and that it'll be named Mingh Loh if it's a girl!"
Wufei looked back at Mae Linh. "This neighborhood's full of easedroppers."
"Then come inside." Mae Linh replied.
Wufei walked into Mae Linhs house bitterly. 'I can't believe the onna actually thinks she'll have a daughter. It's impossible if it's mine. Speaking of people weak enough to have daughters, I wonder how Maxwell is doing with his woman?'

"I said I wanted peanut butter on this Duo!" Hilde shouted as she opened the cover of the box.
"Hilde, they refused!" Duo protested. "They convinced me no one would want peanut butter and jelly on a supreme pizza."
"Well I do, so go out and buy some." Hilde ordered.
"That's grape Jelly and I want strawberry!" "Plus, that peanut butters smooth and I want crunchy!" Hilde whined. "Do you think Grape jelly and smooth peanut butter would taste good on a supreme pizza?"
"No better that strawberry jelly and crunchy peanut butter." Duo muttered under his breath.
"What did you say?" Hilde asked.
"Huh? Nothing." Duo said quickly.
"Come on Duo! You're the father of my unborn child! It's your duty!" Hilde whined.
Duo sighed. "I know I'll leave, come back with what you wanted, and found out you changed your mind again."
"...nuh-uh." Hilde replied softly.
"You did the other four times." Duo replied. "Besides, you need to eat now so we can get going to meet the others."
Duo wanted to continue until he saw tears well up in Hilde's eyes. 'Oh no!'
"WAAHAAAHAHAAH!!" Hilde started to cry. "I'm horrible! You spent all that money to bring me down to Earth when you found out I was pregnant and you take care of me and you follow my every whim! I'm a monster! I'm evil!"
"No, no, no, no!" Duo shouted running over to Hilde. "You're good! I'm bad! I'll get you what you want!"
Hilde sniffled. "Really?"
"Sure, it's what I do." Duo replied.
"Okay but...make sure the jelly's smuckers. I want smuckers." Hilde replied.
"Smuckers. Got it." Duo replied grabbing some keys off a nearby table.
"Wait Duo!" Hilde shouted as Duo grabbed the door handle.
"Yeah?" Duo asked.
"I think I want grape jelly instead." Hilde answered.
"...Hilde, we have-" Duo began.
"It's cold and half-way gone!" Hilde shouted.
"Okay, okay! Grape jelly, got it!" Duo shouted as he opened the door. then he paused. "...wait Hilde. Maybe I shouldn't go. Remember those scientists? Maybe you should come to."
"...but I don't wanna get up." Hilde softly whined.
"Yeah, but you have to get up soon to meet the others, remember?" Duo reminded her.
Hilde grabbed a pillow. "I don't wanna."
Duo walked over to Hilde. "-but Hil-"
"I'm huge Duo! I don't wanna go!" Hilde cried.
Duo sighed. "They all have seven month pregnant women too."
Hilde cuddled the pillow. "...I don't know."
"Hilde, come on!" Duo said frustrated. ""You barely leave this apartment! Since we've arrived on Earth you haven't gone farther than two blocks from here!"
Hilde sighed. "I know. I don't wanna be around four other pregnant women though! It'd be like a heifer convention."
"Hahaaahaahaaahhha!" Duo started to crack up laughing.
"Duo, it wasn't supposed to be funny!" Hilde whined.
"Oh, it won't be that bad Hilde! Besides, you already promised earlier today." Duo reminded her again.
"I know." Hilde said softly.
"Everything'll be fine. Now come on outside." Duo coaxed.
"-but Duo it's hot! The temperatures aren't right on this planet!" Hilde whined.
"The car I've got has air-conditioning. Come on. I'll help you up." Duo persuaded trying to pull Hilde off the couch. "I don't want to lose track of you."
"I can take care of myself!!" Hilde cried out suddenly.
'Ohh, I hate mood swings. Couldn't someone have invented a pill for that?' Duo thought. "Well normally, yeah but...it's a close call between four old men and a seven month pregnant woman, you know?"
"..." Hilde let go of the pillow. "Duo?"
"Yeah?" Duo answered.
"I want pickles from the fridge instead." Hilde replied.
"Okay, I'll go get them." Duo replied heading for the kitchen. He brought the pickles back to her.
"Thank you!" Hilde shouted as she unscrewed the jar.
Duo looked at the pizza. "I thought you wanted to put them on the pizza?" he said as he watched her eating them straight from the jar.
"No, just these." Hilde replied between bites.
Duo looked happily at Hilde. "Great!" he said looking at the pizza. "Then could I have a little piece?"
Hilde looked up at Duo. "Okay, sure." she said grabbing the box. "I need to go anyway." she said heading toward the bathroom.
"N-no Hil! Not peace! A piece-" Duo began but it was too late. She had already closed the door.
Duo sat down on the couch and sighed. "Deprived of food once again..." Duo sat up straight as a horrible thought occured to him. "Wait! What if this kid'll eat like I do?! Ohhh..."
