Previously:

"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 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 captain" 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.

Chapter Four:

Just because you saved her life during doesn't mean you have to do it everytime that idiot blonde gets herself into a pickle" Duo shouted. She had Heero had taken up this little arguement elsewhere. They were currently in a empty office near the ballroom, Sally was kind enough to take Solo. "And Don't Fuckin' tell it because of your bloody duty!!! You aren't the Perfect Soldier anymore!!"

"No, I am not" said Heero, quietly. "But it is still my duty to protect the freedom of the people . . . I'm------"

"Don't Preach to me Heero" Duo hissed. "I wear the same uniform and I'm higher ranked then you are!!!" She turned away. Her arms wrapped around her.

"Yes, you do wear the same uniform" Heero said. "But Relena is important to maintaining the Peace we've come to enjoy . . . Everyone looks to her for guidance when things are going bad".

"In Case you didn't noticed Heero" Duo snarled, tears slidding down her face. "Those People want you dead!!! All of us dead!!! This isn't the stupid shit we use to do when we were battling OZ . . . These Assholes are playing a fuckin' game!!!" Heero made to take her hand but Duo ripped away from him.

"Duo-----"

"NO!!! Go do you patriotic Duty and Leave me the Fuck alone!!!" Heero sighed and walked away, he gave Duo one last look before leaving. Duo collapse to her knees, her face buried in her hands. Her shoulders shook in silent sobs. She felt a hand on her shoulder. Duo looked up and saw Solo standing there. He leaned and gave her a kiss on her nose. He wrapped his arms around his Momma's neck and held tight. Duo clung to her son.

"Don't worry, Momma" Solo whispered. "I'll never leave you . . . I promise". ((Isn't he the Sweetest?!))

Duo buried her face into his messy hair. She heard a click, she lifted her face and looked around the office, there was no one there. "Solo, Baby . . . Why don't you wait outside and let Momma fix herself up?" Duo suggested. Solo nodded and walked out. Duo stood, she turned and came face to face with . . . . . .

----------------

Heero slammed his fist into the nearest wall. He hated when Duo cried . . . She had already shed enough tears in her life for sadness. "Feel better?" came Quatre's voice. Heero grunted and looked at his bleeding hand. "I take it your talk with Duo didn't do any good? I never knew who was more stubborn . . . You or Her".

"I think it's a rather close tie" Wufei stated. "But Heero still pulls out in the long run". Trowa, silently, nodded.

"Guess I made a mess of things, huh?" Heero said. But before his three friends could answer, they heard a scream. Heero's eyes widened. "SOLO!!!!" They took off at high speeds toward the origin. Behind them, Sally, Une, Zechs and Noin had joined as well as many of Duo's Agents.

A few moments earlier . . . . .

Solo stood patiently outside the door but he was starting to worry about his Momma. There was only one time that he saw Momma cry like that. And that was when he had landed himself in the hospital. Solo shuddered, he hated Hospitals. "Momma's taking an awful long time" said Solo. He reached up and grasp the door handle and opened the door. His Momma was struggling against an attacker. Solo watched as his Momma was pushed against the wall. Something was stabbed into her neck and his Momma collapsed weakly against the attacker. "MOMMA!!!" Solo cried. He rushed in only to be seized from behind.

"No! Don't harm him . . . She won't cooperate if her son is harmed" hissed the attacker holding Duo. Solo was slammed against the wall. He cried out in pain. "Damnit, what did I just say?!"

"Christ don't worry, I won't hurt the brat . . . . . Much"

Solo's eyes widened.



Heero burst into the office he was in moment earlier. What he saw stopped his blood cold. ((TISSUE WARNING!!!!)) There laying in the middle of the floor was Solo in a growing pool of his own blood. "SOLO!!!" Heero cried out. He raced over to his son and, gently, turned him over. Heero hoisted the boy into a sitting position. "Solo? Solo?"

Dull amethyst eyes opened. He looked up his Poppa, they held eyes for a few minutes. Solo began making a choking sound. "GET A MEDIC!!!" Heero roared, panic lacing his voice. Quatre tore off. Sally rushed forward to try and help. "It's okay, Solo . . . Poppa's here". He ran his hand through his son's hair. Tears filling his cobalt blue eyes. "Everything's gonna be okay". Solo reached up and touched his Poppa's face, as if drinking in Heero's features. Slowly, Solo's hands dropped and his eyes closed. "Solo? No, Look at me . . . Look at Poppa". Heero gave the boy a nudge, trying to keep him awake but it was no use. Solo went limp. "Solo? SOLO!!!!!!"

May 27th / 200 AC

Heero looked ran a hand through his hair. Searches for Duo and Relena had turned up negative. And they had been searching for the past two days. Heero rubbed his face and looked at the small figure that lay unconscious in the hospital bed. His five-year-old son had yet to wake up from the Coma that he had been induced into. Heero stood and grasped the hand rail. He had been given a leave of Absence from the Preventers because of the Family Crisis. Heero grasp his son's hand held it in his hand. Crisis wasn't the word for what was happening. He leaned down and kissed Solo's bandage brow. He caressed the boy's pale cheek. "Poppa will be right back . . . He's gotta get something to eat, Okay?"

Heero, gently, placed his son's hand down and walked out. He looked up and down the hallway of the Children's Ward. Everywhere, Children played. Nurses and Doctors raced around trying to prevent the children from hurting themselves. He sighed and headed toward the small room that contained food for the Parents of the children on the ward. "Back again, I see" came a voice. Heero looked up and saw the doctor that had treated Solo. "You know Mr. Yuy" started the doctor. "You might want to consider getting some real food". Heero shook his head. "What about your wife?"

Heero looked out the window. "She's missing" he whispered. With that Heero headed back to his son's room. The doctor sighed and walked away.He need a vaction.

------------

Quatre walked about the hall searching for the Children's ward. In his arms he carried food, Quatre had become concerned about the former perfect soldier. So, he cooked a meal and brought it to hospital. Now if only he could find the damn wing. Quatre sighed and looked around, "Excuse me . . . Could you tell me where the Children's Ward is?" Quatre inquired to a passing nurse.

"Oh, it's just down that way and turned left, Sir" said the Nurse.

"Thanks". Quatre hurried along, he could feel the nurse oogling his ass. He stopped and turned, the nurse was definitely staring at him. "I am taken, you know". The nurse blushed and turned away. He shook his head and headed off again. Quatre opened the doors to the children's wing. He knew Solo's room number.

"Heero?"

The former prefect soldier looked up. "Hi . . . How's everything?" Quatre inquired. Heero shrugged, he looked back at his son. "I brought you some supper . . . Oh, Wufei and Sally will be over a little later, just to keep you company". He handed the meal to Heero. "I figure you might be hungry . . . After all you've only been eating that nasty hospital food". Quatre sat down in the chair opposite him. Heero dug into the meal.

"Any new leads?"

"Duo's commanders haven't found anything and they've been personally trained by Solo" Quatre said. "They're also be by later . . . They seem exceedingly fond of Solo". Heero looked at his son. That kid could grow on anybody, a trait he inherted from Duo. He felt Quatre's hands on his shoulders. "Don't worry . . . We'll find her, Heero". The Japanese Preventer gave his Arab friend a faint smile.

"After all this is done . . . . Duo and I are starting that family we were talking about" said Heero.

"Then we can start one together . . . .Trowa and I have decided we want a family as well" said Quatre. Heero nodded.

Darkness faded as Duo opened her eyes. She gazed around the furnished room, she raised an eyebrow. Slowly, she sat up, her hair spilled down her back. Her clothes were changed. She wore a very simple . . . yet elegant . . . gown. Duo slid off the bed. She walked to the window and gazed out at the Rural landscape around. (Northern Europe? But where?)

"Glad to see you're awake, Milady".

Duo turned and gapped at the elegant . . . and handsome . . . young man. "Who are you? What do you want from me?" she demanded. The young man, a count she assumed, walked forward and grasped her hand. He kissed it, gently.

"I am Count Raphael De Gualle" replied the young man. "And I want nothing more then your hand in marriage, Milady".

"I already have someone" Duo hissed. She yanked her hand free.

"Yes, and a child out of wedlock . . . Something heavily frowned upon in our country, Milady" replied the count.

"What's with all the Milady stuff?!"

"You do not know? Why you are the Princess, Milady" replied the Count. "You are Princess Dumaia Silvercraft, Hieress to the Kingdom of Dusha". Duo gapped, her eyes gazing upwards at Count Raphael.
