Previously:
Duo looked, sure enough . . . a slight reddish tint on his cheeks. She laughed, falling backwards. "Well, look on the Bright Side, Heero" Quatre said. "You finally have a reason for Relena in why you don't date her". Heero looked over at the Blonde, a small smirk forming on his face.
"I don't like that look" Suo said. "It's the same when Solo decides he going to be sneaky".
"Oh, trust me . . . You're going to love this" said Heero. Quatre, Duo, Trowa and Wufei shared a look between them while Solo sat on his Poppa's Laps, giggling.

Chapter Three:
Solo listened to his Momma's shouts. Obiviously, Poppa had something that upset her . . . But what, Solo wasn't sure. Uncle Quatre, Uncle Trowa and Uncle 'Fei had vanished to some place an hour ago. Poppa had sent them on a secret errand. "There is no way . . . In the Seven Depths of Hell . . . Are you gonna make me wear a dress!!" Duo shouted. "A Nice Dress suit . . . Yes . . . Dress . . . Are YOU out of YOUR FREAKIN' MIND?!"
Solo giggled. There was no way that Poppa was going to get Momma in a dress . . . . Aunt Noelle and Aunt Sally had tried . . . And they ended up in Hospital. Momma dislocated Aunt Sally's Shoulder while she had broken Aunt Noelle's arm. Momma was very dangerous when cornered. Solo heard his Poppa's cry of pain. Yup, definitely dangerous when Cornered. He giggled as his mother tore through the room followed closer by his father. "Damnit!! Duo, It's only for a few hours!!!" Heero snarled.
"I rather die first!!! I have my dignity!!!"said Duo. "I will not be caught in anything besides Pants!!!" Heero caught Duo and dragged her back to the Master Bedroom. Duo fighting all the way. The Phone rang. Solo jumped up and answered it.
Hello, Solo . . . Is Your Momma at home?
"Hi, Aunt Sally . . . Yeah, Momma's home but she's kinda busy at the moment" Solo replied. "She and Poppa are having a Fight . . . Poppa wants to put Momma in a Dress". Solo saw his Aunt pale, considerably.
Solo, Honey, Put Poppa on the Phone!!
"'Kay . . . POPPA!!! PHONE!!!"
Heero appeared and took the reciever from his son. "Sally? Is there a Problem?"
Are you Suicidal?! Do You honestly want a Deathwish?!
"What are you talking about?" Heero demanded. The Asian Woman gapped at him.
You want to put Duo in a Dress!! That's What I'm talking about!!! Une and I tried and We ended up in the Emergency Room of the Hospital with A Dislocated Shoulder and Broken arm!!!
"Seriously?"
Yes!! There ain't no way, You are ever going to get that Woman into a Dress!!
"Is that True?" Heero now asking his son. The little boy nodded.
"You should heard Momma swearing them out" said Solo. Heero turned back to Sally, a slight paler then normal.
"Thanks Sally . . . See you this afternoon" Heero said. He hung before she could protest further. Heero looked down at his son. "Is there anything Momma will wear?"
"Dress suit?"
"No, it has to be nicer then that" Heero mumbled. Solo shook his head. "so, your Momma will only wear dress suits . . . Oh well, if I'm goin' to the ER, I'll be goin' to the ER". He stalked out and into the bedroom. Solo gapped. His Poppa sure was brave.
-------------
"What exactly are we going here?" Wufei inquired. He gazed around the Women's department of a shopping center.
"Heero said to pick out a nice dress" said Quatre. "I'm thinking something black". He walked in amongst the dresses. Trowa and Wufei followed the petite blonde Arab into the uncharted territory. "This one's nice and so is this one". He handed the two black dresses to Trowa. One was a chinese style dress with a silver dragon designed onto it. The other was a simple plain dress. "What do you think about this one?"
"Not a chance in Hell" Wufei said.
"Yeah, you're right . . . Personally, I think the Chinese style is the best . . . but we'll keep looking" Quatre said. He pulled out a black and red outfit. "Uh? Is this even an outfit?" He held it up to Trowa and Wufei. Trowa mildly blushed and shook his head. Wufei covered his nose, to stop an oncoming nosebleed.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" came a clerk's voice. Quatre turned to the brunette. "Oh, dear . . . What's that doing here? That's supposed to be in the . . . Well, you know". She took the piece from Quatre and hurried away.
"Huh?"
Trowa bent down and whispered something into his petite lover's ear. Quatre turned red and buried his face in Trowa's arm. Wufei patted the blonde's head. "Let's get the Chinese-style dress" said Wufei. Trowa nodded and together they headed to the check out counter.
*
"Duo! Hold STILL!!"
"I AM!!! OW!!! DAMNIT, QUATRE!!!"
"I TOLD YOU!!!"
Solo looked up from his toys to where his Poppa and Uncles sat. "How hard is it to do someone's hair?" Trowa inquired. Wufei snorted, and turned back to staring at the wall. "I take that as hard". Solo stood and walked over to the master bedroom. He slipped through the door and walked over to his Momma and Uncle Quatre.
"Wow, Momma" Solo said, in awe. "You're beautiful". Duo gave her son a smile as Quatre finished.
"Finished . . . You would never imagine that having twenty-nine sisters would come in handy" Quatre said. He tucked a stray hair back. "Now, time to reveal your new look to the others". Duo stood and wobbled a bit on the black high heels before straightening.
"I guess I don't look too bad" said Duo. She exited the bedroom with Quatre and Solo trailing behind her. She stepped into the living room, Heero stopped dead. There Duo stood dressed in the black chinese dress with the silver Dragon design. The slit traveled up to her hip, revealing milky white skin. Her hair was out of it's traditional braid and done in curls, which spilled carelessly on to her shoulders. "So . . . How do I look?"
"Kirei" Heero mumbled. Duo went scarlet, she gave him a shy smile and fiddled with the dress. Solo smothered his giggles in his hands. Momma was acting like a teenager. "It's time to move . . . The Preventer Ball should be starting in a hour". The others nodded. They were dressed in their Dress Uniform. Heero had gotten Solo a child's tux. Then Wufei and Trowa had attempted to tame the Father and Son's messy locks. But Duo had stopped them, claiming her men looked fine with their messy locks. Heero straightened Solo's tie and grasped his hand. He offered his arm to Duo, who accepted it. Trowa had done the same for Quatre. Wufei was meeting up with Sally at the Ball. The Asian female wanted to surprise him, well that was according to Une, who had been helping Sally.
"Everyone ready?"
"Hai!!"
"Let's go!!"
*
Relena glanced around the Ballroom, looking for Heero. But no sign of her beloved or that street rat, Duo Maxwell. Relena knew that Heero was attending the Ball, for an informant inside of the Preventers had told her. Heero was attending it with the other ex-gundam pilots. But they had yet to attend. Relena had spotted her Brother, Milliardo . . . a.k.a Zechs Marquise, on the dance floor with Lucrezia Noin. Sally Po was standing with Noelle Une near the Balcony entrance. Relena turned her attention to the pretty (really, revolting) pink dress that she wore. Heero will certainly love this. Suddenly, the main doors opened, Trowa and Quatre walked through. Then Wufei and finally Heero with a unknown Woman and child. Relena glared at the tramp that was grasping her Heero's arm.
She made to go over but was interrupted as Sally and Une walked over to them. Both hugging the woman and giving the child a kiss. Relena drew herself up, proudfully, and walked over.
------------
"You look wonderful" Une said. "Love the dress".
Duo gave a shy smile and attempted to pull the slit closed. "Forget the dress . . . What about that Hair" Sally intruded. "Makes me jealous".
"But Sally, you have beautiful hair" Duo protested. "And your dress is exquisite, Noelle".
"Uh-oh" Quatre said. "Look alive, Heero . . . . Pink Monster at twelve o'clock". Heero looked up. Relena was bearing down on them, he gave a smirk. Sally and Une exchanged glances. Heero reached down and scooped Solo into his arms. The little boy looked interested at the medals on his Poppa's chest. "Hello, Miss Relena". Relena appeared next to Une.
She moved closer to Heero and attempted to grasp one of his arms but couldn't because of Solo in Heero's arms. "Why don't you set him down and dance with me, Heero". Solo's amethyst eyes narrowed. He didn't like this lady. He grabbed his Poppa's neck.
"No down!! No Down!!!" Solo said. He buried his face into Heero's neck. Heero was surprised by his son's behavior. Hell, Duo was surprised. Heero patted the boy's back, soothingly.
"Why don't you let go of Heero's neck, Little Boy" Relena said.
"His name's Solo, Ojousan" Duo interrupted, using her old nickname for Relena. The former Queen of the World stopped and gazed at Duo. She gapped. "Something the matter, Ojousan?"
"DUO?!" Relena shrieked. "What are you doing?! You're a Man!!!"
"Hee-Koi, Am I really?" said Duo. "Strange, I couldn't have swore that my chest was real". Heero and Trowa stifled their laughter. But Quatre, Wufei, Sally and Une weren't so lucky. Relena glared at the smaller girl. Duo gave her a smile.
"What are you doing here? I wouldn't have thought you crawled back to L2" Relena sneered. Sally and Une restrained Wufei, Quatre and Trowa. Heero growled, warningly. "So?"
"Oh, nothing much" said Duo. "Just doing my duty as Captain of Preventer Intel and Stealth . . . And raising mine and Heero's Son". That made Relena stop.
"S-s-s-s-SON!!!!" she screamed. Now they were drawing attention, Zechs and Noin were heading over to them. "There is no way that brat is Heero's!!!"
Duo's eyes narrowed, she made to mouth off when Heero intervened. "I would like you to refrain from insulting my family, Relena" Heero growled. "Solo is my child . . . Now, if you'll excuse me . . . Duo owns me a dance". "Solo, do want to go with Uncle Quatre, Uncle Trowa or Uncle Wufei?"
"Uncle 'Fei". Wufei reached over and pulled his adopted nephew into his arms. Solo buried his face into Wufei's neck. Wufei raised an eyebrow, Quatre was rubbing the boy's back. "Uncle 'Fei, make the scary Lady go away".
"Scary . . . .oh" said Quatre. "Relena, I have to ask you to leave . . . You're frightening Solo". Relena was about to make a snap at Quatre but Trowa silenced her with a deadly glare. "You understand . . . It's his ESP or 'Space Heart' if you will . . .I believe your emotions are a bit too much for the poor child". Relena gave a haughtily, 'Hmph' and stalked away. Zechs and Noin appeared.
"Is something wrong?" Zechs inquired.
"Nothing much" Une said. "Your Sister is just getting a dose of some medicine". Zechs raised an eye then he noticed Duo out on the dance floor, waltzing with Heero. He raised an eyebrow. "Duo is a geninue female . . . The little boy, Wufei is holding is her and Heero's five-year-old son, Solo".
"Oh" Zechs said. Noin shook her head, she headed over to the little boy, she leaned down, so she could lean down to look him in the eye. Solo peeked out, his amethyst eye connecting with Noin's purple eyes. He faced her completely, smiling.
"Auntie Lu!!" He squealed. Noin laughed and lifted the boy into her arms. "I missed you . . . You haven't called or wrote to me". The little boy batted his eyes, dramatically. "So what have you and Blondie been doin'? Makin' Babies, hmm?"
"Yep, that's definitely Duo's boy" Zechs said, coughing. He had a blush spread over his cheeks.
"Yes, Solo . . . Auntie Lu is going to have a baby" said Noin. "You're going to have a cousin soon". Solo grinned and clapped his hands. He reached down and patted Noin's flat stomach.
"Hello Baby" said Solo. "Auntie Lu . . . Uncle Zechs . . . What's the baby's name?"
"Well, if it's a baby girl is going to be Lelena and for a boy, Lucas" said Noin. Solo grinned and patted the stomach. He giggled. Noin raised an eyebrow. She looked at Quatre, who was also smiling. "Quatre?"
"I'm sorry but you going to have to find out by yourselves" said Quatre. "The only thing I can tell you is that your lives will be far hectic then you would have imagined".
-------------
"You know, Relena is going to try something" said Duo. Her head rested against Heero's shoulder. "She going to reliatate against me". Heero made a noise. "Oh, you know it's true . . . She going to banish the wick L2 Pilot for ensaring her L1 Pilot in a evil spell". Duo smiled, Heero gave her a smile.
"Evil Spell, Huh?" said Heero. "And what evil spell might that be?"
"I dunno . . . Who knows with Relena" said Duo. She lifted her head to look over at the group that were entertain their son. But she only found Une and Solo, the others had disperse to dance. "Ooh . . . . Where's a camera when you need one". Heero looked behind him. Une had scooped up the boy, and soon they were dancing themselves. "Isn't that cute?"
"I suppose so . . . Cute has never been a word used in my vocabulary much" Heero replied. "At least not with Lady Une, anyway". Duo giggled and rested her head against Heero's shoulder.
"You're taking this awful well, Heero" said Duo. "Why is that?"
"Well, I always wanted a family with you" Heero replied. "I guess you just up the steps a bit . . . I planned on one after the War". Duo looked up at Heero, Cobalt Blue met Amethyst.
"We can still have one" said Duo. "We can still have a family . . . I always wanted Solo to have siblings . . . brothers".
"What . . . No girls?" Heero inquired.
"Wouldn't know how to raise one" said Duo. "I spent most of my life being a boy and five years raising one". Heero nodded. "So, what do you say? Wanna give it a shot?" Her eyes were hopeful. "I could always resign . . . I mean, with the money that I hacked from Oz . . . I never used. And you still got that money and you're working . . . We could make it work".
"You want to be a stay at home Mom?" Heero said. "I can't see you doing that . . . keep your position, Duo, we'll get it worked out". Then something clicked in Duo's mind.
(The Codes?! I Know where I've see them!!!) Duo thought. (Oz Officers of Intelligent Positions used them). She pulled back. "I gotta make a call . . . Be right back, 'kay?" Heero nodded. Duo turned and headed out of the room. She made it to the public phones. She dialled the number of the Underground.
Preventer Intel and Stealth . . .How may I-------
"Shadow, shut up and listen to me for a sec" said Duo. "You know those codes . . . . send them to me, would ya? I got my mini-com with me".
Uh . . . . Okay, hold on for a sec, 'kay?
There was a beep. Duo opened her mini-com and began to decode it. Suddenly a message stared back at her.
' Orders to the Red Sun Army . . . . . Orders from General Night Wind
Orders to assassinate the former Gundam Pilots save for Gundam Pilot 02. Bring that pilot back to headquarters, alive and unharmed . . . as well as samples of all 01, 03, 04 and 05. Assassination to take place during the Preventer Ball'.
Duo turned and ran back toward the Ballroom. She pulled out a headpiece from her purse. "Shadow . . . This is Jinx . . . We have a Code Alpha 0998 . . . . Request Intel and Stealth Agents at the Preventer Ball!!!"
Copy that Jinx . . . Code Alpha 0998, is engaged! Intel and Stealth Agents ae being deployed as we speak . . . ETA with target . . . 5 minutes!!
"Copy!"
Duo burst to the ball room, her eyes scanned the room. She spotted a sniper in the far left corner, she reached down and pulled out her silencer. The Sniper had targeted Quatre and Trowa. The nearest person to Duo screamed, Duo hoisted her silencer and fired. The Sniper fell to the ground, dead with a bullet embedded in his brain. Intel and Stealth Agents burst in. "GET THESE PEOPLE OUT!!!" ordered Duo. "WE HAVE MORE ASSASSINS IN THE ROOM!!!" Heero, Quatre, Trowa and Wufei sprang to action, pulling out the own guns.
"Momma!!" Solo cried. Duo scooped up her terrified son into her arms, she looked around. She could see no more intruders. Many of her agents had taken the other assassins were taken prisoners. She felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned and saw Heero standing there. She turned and leaned into him. Heero wrapped his arms around his family, his head resting on Duo's.
"Captain!!"
Duo looked up. "Total of 5 assassins taken captive . . . but it would appear that Vice Foreign Minister Relena Darlian has been taken captive" said an agent. Duo nodded. The officer saluted and walked away. She looked up at Heero's eyes. Immediately, she knew what he was thinking.

Duo looked, sure enough . . . a slight reddish tint on his cheeks. She laughed, falling backwards. "Well, look on the Bright Side, Heero" Quatre said. "You finally have a reason for Relena in why you don't date her". Heero looked over at the Blonde, a small smirk forming on his face.

Chapter Three:
Solo listened to his Momma's shouts. Obiviously, Poppa had something that upset her . . . But what, Solo wasn't sure. Uncle Quatre, Uncle Trowa and Uncle 'Fei had vanished to some place an hour ago. Poppa had sent them on a secret errand. "There is no way . . . In the Seven Depths of Hell . . . Are you gonna make me wear a dress!!" Duo shouted. "A Nice Dress suit . . . Yes . . . Dress . . . Are YOU out of YOUR FREAKIN' MIND?!"
Solo giggled. There was no way that Poppa was going to get Momma in a dress . . . . Aunt Noelle and Aunt Sally had tried . . . And they ended up in Hospital. Momma dislocated Aunt Sally's Shoulder while she had broken Aunt Noelle's arm. Momma was very dangerous when cornered. Solo heard his Poppa's cry of pain. Yup, definitely dangerous when Cornered. He giggled as his mother tore through the room followed closer by his father. "Damnit!! Duo, It's only for a few hours!!!" Heero snarled.
"I rather die first!!! I have my dignity!!!"said Duo. "I will not be caught in anything besides Pants!!!" Heero caught Duo and dragged her back to the Master Bedroom. Duo fighting all the way. The Phone rang. Solo jumped up and answered it.
Hello, Solo . . . Is Your Momma at home?
"Hi, Aunt Sally . . . Yeah, Momma's home but she's kinda busy at the moment" Solo replied. "She and Poppa are having a Fight . . . Poppa wants to put Momma in a Dress". Solo saw his Aunt pale, considerably.
Solo, Honey, Put Poppa on the Phone!!
"'Kay . . . POPPA!!! PHONE!!!"
Heero appeared and took the reciever from his son. "Sally? Is there a Problem?"
Are you Suicidal?! Do You honestly want a Deathwish?!
"What are you talking about?" Heero demanded. The Asian Woman gapped at him.
You want to put Duo in a Dress!! That's What I'm talking about!!! Une and I tried and We ended up in the Emergency Room of the Hospital with A Dislocated Shoulder and Broken arm!!!
"Seriously?"
Yes!! There ain't no way, You are ever going to get that Woman into a Dress!!
"Is that True?" Heero now asking his son. The little boy nodded.
"You should heard Momma swearing them out" said Solo. Heero turned back to Sally, a slight paler then normal.
"Thanks Sally . . . See you this afternoon" Heero said. He hung before she could protest further. Heero looked down at his son. "Is there anything Momma will wear?"
"Dress suit?"
"No, it has to be nicer then that" Heero mumbled. Solo shook his head. "so, your Momma will only wear dress suits . . . Oh well, if I'm goin' to the ER, I'll be goin' to the ER". He stalked out and into the bedroom. Solo gapped. His Poppa sure was brave.

"What exactly are we going here?" Wufei inquired. He gazed around the Women's department of a shopping center.
"Heero said to pick out a nice dress" said Quatre. "I'm thinking something black". He walked in amongst the dresses. Trowa and Wufei followed the petite blonde Arab into the uncharted territory. "This one's nice and so is this one". He handed the two black dresses to Trowa. One was a chinese style dress with a silver dragon designed onto it. The other was a simple plain dress.

"Huh?"
Trowa bent down and whispered something into his petite lover's ear. Quatre turned red and buried his face in Trowa's arm. Wufei patted the blonde's head. "Let's get the Chinese-style dress" said Wufei. Trowa nodded and together they headed to the check out counter.
*
"Duo! Hold STILL!!"
"I AM!!! OW!!! DAMNIT, QUATRE!!!"
"I TOLD YOU!!!"
Solo looked up from his toys to where his Poppa and Uncles sat. "How hard is it to do someone's hair?" Trowa inquired. Wufei snorted, and turned back to staring at the wall. "I take that as hard". Solo stood and walked over to the master bedroom. He slipped through the door and walked over to his Momma and Uncle Quatre.
"Wow, Momma" Solo said, in awe. "You're beautiful". Duo gave her son a smile as Quatre finished.
"Finished . . . You would never imagine that having twenty-nine sisters would come in handy" Quatre said. He tucked a stray hair back. "Now, time to reveal your new look to the others". Duo stood and wobbled a bit on the black high heels before straightening.
"I guess I don't look too bad" said Duo. She exited the bedroom with Quatre and Solo trailing behind her. She stepped into the living room, Heero stopped dead. There Duo stood dressed in the black chinese dress with the silver Dragon design. The slit traveled up to her hip, revealing milky white skin. Her hair was out of it's traditional braid and done in curls, which spilled carelessly on to her shoulders. "So . . . How do I look?"
"Kirei" Heero mumbled. Duo went scarlet, she gave him a shy smile and fiddled with the dress. Solo smothered his giggles in his hands. Momma was acting like a teenager. "It's time to move . . . The Preventer Ball should be starting in a hour". The others nodded. They were dressed in their Dress Uniform. Heero had gotten Solo a child's tux. Then Wufei and Trowa had attempted to tame the Father and Son's messy locks. But Duo had stopped them, claiming her men looked fine with their messy locks. Heero straightened Solo's tie and grasped his hand. He offered his arm to Duo, who accepted it. Trowa had done the same for Quatre. Wufei was meeting up with Sally at the Ball. The Asian female wanted to surprise him, well that was according to Une, who had been helping Sally.
"Everyone ready?"
"Hai!!"
"Let's go!!"
*
Relena glanced around the Ballroom, looking for Heero. But no sign of her beloved or that street rat, Duo Maxwell. Relena knew that Heero was attending the Ball, for an informant inside of the Preventers had told her. Heero was attending it with the other ex-gundam pilots. But they had yet to attend. Relena had spotted her Brother, Milliardo . . . a.k.a Zechs Marquise, on the dance floor with Lucrezia Noin. Sally Po was standing with Noelle Une near the Balcony entrance. Relena turned her attention to the pretty (really, revolting) pink dress that she wore. Heero will certainly love this. Suddenly, the main doors opened, Trowa and Quatre walked through. Then Wufei and finally Heero with a unknown Woman and child. Relena glared at the tramp that was grasping her Heero's arm.
She made to go over but was interrupted as Sally and Une walked over to them. Both hugging the woman and giving the child a kiss. Relena drew herself up, proudfully, and walked over.
------------
"You look wonderful" Une said. "Love the dress".
Duo gave a shy smile and attempted to pull the slit closed. "Forget the dress . . . What about that Hair" Sally intruded. "Makes me jealous".
"But Sally, you have beautiful hair" Duo protested. "And your dress is exquisite, Noelle".
"Uh-oh" Quatre said. "Look alive, Heero . . . . Pink Monster at twelve o'clock". Heero looked up. Relena was bearing down on them, he gave a smirk. Sally and Une exchanged glances. Heero reached down and scooped Solo into his arms. The little boy looked interested at the medals on his Poppa's chest. "Hello, Miss Relena". Relena appeared next to Une.
She moved closer to Heero and attempted to grasp one of his arms but couldn't because of Solo in Heero's arms. "Why don't you set him down and dance with me, Heero". Solo's amethyst eyes narrowed. He didn't like this lady. He grabbed his Poppa's neck.
"No down!! No Down!!!" Solo said. He buried his face into Heero's neck. Heero was surprised by his son's behavior. Hell, Duo was surprised. Heero patted the boy's back, soothingly.
"Why don't you let go of Heero's neck, Little Boy" Relena said.
"His name's Solo, Ojousan" Duo interrupted, using her old nickname for Relena. The former Queen of the World stopped and gazed at Duo. She gapped. "Something the matter, Ojousan?"
"DUO?!" Relena shrieked. "What are you doing?! You're a Man!!!"
"Hee-Koi, Am I really?" said Duo. "Strange, I couldn't have swore that my chest was real". Heero and Trowa stifled their laughter. But Quatre, Wufei, Sally and Une weren't so lucky. Relena glared at the smaller girl. Duo gave her a smile.
"What are you doing here? I wouldn't have thought you crawled back to L2" Relena sneered. Sally and Une restrained Wufei, Quatre and Trowa. Heero growled, warningly. "So?"
"Oh, nothing much" said Duo. "Just doing my duty as Captain of Preventer Intel and Stealth . . . And raising mine and Heero's Son". That made Relena stop.
"S-s-s-s-SON!!!!" she screamed. Now they were drawing attention, Zechs and Noin were heading over to them. "There is no way that brat is Heero's!!!"
Duo's eyes narrowed, she made to mouth off when Heero intervened. "I would like you to refrain from insulting my family, Relena" Heero growled. "Solo is my child . . . Now, if you'll excuse me . . . Duo owns me a dance". "Solo, do want to go with Uncle Quatre, Uncle Trowa or Uncle Wufei?"
"Uncle 'Fei". Wufei reached over and pulled his adopted nephew into his arms. Solo buried his face into Wufei's neck. Wufei raised an eyebrow, Quatre was rubbing the boy's back. "Uncle 'Fei, make the scary Lady go away".
"Scary . . . .oh" said Quatre. "Relena, I have to ask you to leave . . . You're frightening Solo". Relena was about to make a snap at Quatre but Trowa silenced her with a deadly glare. "You understand . . . It's his ESP or 'Space Heart' if you will . . .I believe your emotions are a bit too much for the poor child". Relena gave a haughtily, 'Hmph' and stalked away. Zechs and Noin appeared.
"Is something wrong?" Zechs inquired.
"Nothing much" Une said. "Your Sister is just getting a dose of some medicine". Zechs raised an eye then he noticed Duo out on the dance floor, waltzing with Heero. He raised an eyebrow. "Duo is a geninue female . . . The little boy, Wufei is holding is her and Heero's five-year-old son, Solo".
"Oh" Zechs said. Noin shook her head, she headed over to the little boy, she leaned down, so she could lean down to look him in the eye. Solo peeked out, his amethyst eye connecting with Noin's purple eyes. He faced her completely, smiling.
"Auntie Lu!!" He squealed. Noin laughed and lifted the boy into her arms. "I missed you . . . You haven't called or wrote to me". The little boy batted his eyes, dramatically. "So what have you and Blondie been doin'? Makin' Babies, hmm?"
"Yep, that's definitely Duo's boy" Zechs said, coughing. He had a blush spread over his cheeks.
"Yes, Solo . . . Auntie Lu is going to have a baby" said Noin. "You're going to have a cousin soon". Solo grinned and clapped his hands. He reached down and patted Noin's flat stomach.
"Hello Baby" said Solo. "Auntie Lu . . . Uncle Zechs . . . What's the baby's name?"
"Well, if it's a baby girl is going to be Lelena and for a boy, Lucas" said Noin. Solo grinned and patted the stomach. He giggled. Noin raised an eyebrow. She looked at Quatre, who was also smiling. "Quatre?"
"I'm sorry but you going to have to find out by yourselves" said Quatre. "The only thing I can tell you is that your lives will be far hectic then you would have imagined".

"You know, Relena is going to try something" said Duo. Her head rested against Heero's shoulder. "She going to reliatate against me". Heero made a noise. "Oh, you know it's true . . . She going to banish the wick L2 Pilot for ensaring her L1 Pilot in a evil spell". Duo smiled, Heero gave her a smile.
"Evil Spell, Huh?" said Heero. "And what evil spell might that be?"
"I dunno . . . Who knows with Relena" said Duo. She lifted her head to look over at the group that were entertain their son. But she only found Une and Solo, the others had disperse to dance. "Ooh . . . . Where's a camera when you need one". Heero looked behind him. Une had scooped up the boy, and soon they were dancing themselves. "Isn't that cute?"
"I suppose so . . . Cute has never been a word used in my vocabulary much" Heero replied. "At least not with Lady Une, anyway". Duo giggled and rested her head against Heero's shoulder.
"You're taking this awful well, Heero" said Duo. "Why is that?"
"Well, I always wanted a family with you" Heero replied. "I guess you just up the steps a bit . . . I planned on one after the War". Duo looked up at Heero, Cobalt Blue met Amethyst.
"We can still have one" said Duo. "We can still have a family . . . I always wanted Solo to have siblings . . . brothers".
"What . . . No girls?" Heero inquired.
"Wouldn't know how to raise one" said Duo. "I spent most of my life being a boy and five years raising one". Heero nodded. "So, what do you say? Wanna give it a shot?" Her eyes were hopeful. "I could always resign . . . I mean, with the money that I hacked from Oz . . . I never used. And you still got that money and you're working . . . We could make it work".
"You want to be a stay at home Mom?" Heero said. "I can't see you doing that . . . keep your position, Duo, we'll get it worked out". Then something clicked in Duo's mind.
(The Codes?! I Know where I've see them!!!) Duo thought. (Oz Officers of Intelligent Positions used them). She pulled back. "I gotta make a call . . . Be right back, 'kay?" Heero nodded. Duo turned and headed out of the room. She made it to the public phones. She dialled the number of the Underground.
Preventer Intel and Stealth . . .How may I-------
"Shadow, shut up and listen to me for a sec" said Duo. "You know those codes . . . . send them to me, would ya? I got my mini-com with me".
Uh . . . . Okay, hold on for a sec, 'kay?
There was a beep. Duo opened her mini-com and began to decode it. Suddenly a message stared back at her.
' Orders to the Red Sun Army . . . . . Orders from General Night Wind
Orders to assassinate the former Gundam Pilots save for Gundam Pilot 02. Bring that pilot back to headquarters, alive and unharmed . . . as well as samples of all 01, 03, 04 and 05. Assassination to take place during the Preventer Ball'.
Duo turned and ran back toward the Ballroom. She pulled out a headpiece from her purse. "Shadow . . . This is Jinx . . . We have a Code Alpha 0998 . . . . Request Intel and Stealth Agents at the Preventer Ball!!!"
Copy that Jinx . . . Code Alpha 0998, is engaged! Intel and Stealth Agents ae being deployed as we speak . . . ETA with target . . . 5 minutes!!
"Copy!"
Duo burst to the ball room, her eyes scanned the room. She spotted a sniper in the far left corner, she reached down and pulled out her silencer. The Sniper had targeted Quatre and Trowa. The nearest person to Duo screamed, Duo hoisted her silencer and fired. The Sniper fell to the ground, dead with a bullet embedded in his brain. Intel and Stealth Agents burst in. "GET THESE PEOPLE OUT!!!" ordered Duo. "WE HAVE MORE ASSASSINS IN THE ROOM!!!" Heero, Quatre, Trowa and Wufei sprang to action, pulling out the own guns.
"Momma!!" Solo cried. Duo scooped up her terrified son into her arms, she looked around. She could see no more intruders. Many of her agents had taken the other assassins were taken prisoners. She felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned and saw Heero standing there. She turned and leaned into him. Heero wrapped his arms around his family, his head resting on Duo's.
"Captain!!"
Duo looked up. "Total of 5 assassins taken captive . . . but it would appear that Vice Foreign Minister Relena Darlian has been taken captive" said an agent. Duo nodded. The officer saluted and walked away. She looked up at Heero's eyes. Immediately, she knew what he was thinking.
