Chapter 4
What's Lost? What's Gained?
She watched the television as it displayed images of her burned down home. She was on a shuttle to mars to meet her brother and stay with him and his wife. She placed her hand on her abdomen; she had found out earlier that day that she was not the only one going to mars. But her child was going with her.
He stood in front of the huge house as the fires consumed it like a hungry beast. He stood there stunned, but you would never know it if you looked at him. His face was emotionless. The paramedics and fire crew rushed all around him, trying there best to do what they could.
"Heero! They haven't found her yet, but there's still hope, I'm sure she made it out all right, there's no way she'd." Heero took a step toward the house as Duo spoke. Duo looked at his long time comrade as he walked toward the house. A single tear rolled down his cheek. Duo had never seen Heero shed a tear for anything, he knew he cared for her, maybe even loved her. Heero then fell to his knees on the grass his head down as he closed his eyes and the tears ran down his face.
"Do you think he survived, Milliardo?" Relena questioned her brother.
"I don't know Relena. I don't know." He answered his sister. "If he did, are you going to tell him your alive?"
"No. He left me brother. I don't even know if he'll care if I died." Milliardo eyed his sister in her depression. He knew he was alive, but Relena needed to be away from him right now. She was pregnant with his child, and he probably didn't give a damn.
"Heero, I want you to take it easy for a while. I know how hard this is for you." Lady Une tried to comfort him.
"You have no idea how hard this is for me." He said surprisingly calm. At that, he stood up and left.
The trail of vehicles behind the coffin-laden vehicle was miles long. The funeral however, was kept private to family and friends. The first to pass by her empty coffin to put something in was her adopted mother, who put a locked book, presumably a diary, inside. Next were Duo and Hilde, they put a few various items in. It was the same until the last person, Heero, came by. He pulled three items from his jacket, a teddy bear with a ribbon around its neck, a letter, and a small velvet jeweler's ring box. No one questioned any of the items he set down in the coffin. He then pulled his Preventors jacket tight around him, and proceeded to stay silent through the ceremony and even after the eight foot wooden box was buried. It wasn't until dawn that he looked away from the grave and walked away.
