I do not own Gundam Wing.

Oh well, I recently got a review, (thanks whoever sent it) so I'm going to try to finish this story.

Enjoy!

Chapter 2

The year, AC 183, and the boy called Nanashi is 3 years old.

"Goooood morning Nanashi!" Mendel cried as she pried open the door to his room.

"Nanashi?" She asked, looking around the now empty room.

"Nanashi?" She began to worry. But soon her harmless worry turned to uncontrolled fright. She called out franticly, "Nanashi? NANASHI!"

A small voice answered, "Yes?"

She whipped around to find little Nanashi gazing up at her.

"Nanashi! Where have you been all this time?" She asked, looking slightly annoyed.

"Right behind you." He answered wryly, and then smiled.

"Oh you silly thing, you know I would never look there!" She smiled and then they both began to laugh. Mendel picked up Nanashi and brought him to the main room; there she sat him down on the sofa and began to make breakfast.

"Any dreams?" was the usual question asked by Nanashi every morning.

"Yes," Mendel answered, "but it was scary, and I'd rather not talk about it."

"Are you sure it wouldn't help?" Nanashi looked up at her, a look of concern on his small face.

"Not this dream." Was all she would say. After breakfast, both of them slipped on jackets and went outside for their usual walk. They didn't talk much, but then again, they never did.

When they got back, Nanashi instantly asked for something to eat.

"Well, what do you want?" Mendel looked at him.

"How about some.eggs?"

"Eggs?" She asked suspiciously

"Yes. But not cooked. Raw. You know, still in the shell." He said, never meeting her gaze.

"Uhuh," she said, "raw, right." With that she began to rummage around the cupboard. After a while, she came up with two small eggs. "Will these do?"

"Yes." He said as he took the eggs from her hands and walked out the back door. Mendel looked out the window. Nanashi was carrying the two eggs gingerly to the only tree in the yard. He pushed both eggs into his pockets, and then began to ascend up the tree. She couldn't see what he was doing, but he took a long time. When he was done with his errand, he walked back up to the house and met Mendel at the doorway.

"What were you doing?" she asked.

"Do you really want to know?" Nanashi asked, looking up at her.

"Yes. yes I do." She said finally.

Nanashi sighed, "Okay. Well, there is a mother robin in the tree in the back,"

"Yes?"

"Well, I saw a big blue jay fly down to that tree and steal the robin's eggs. So I put some more eggs in her nest to take the place of the ones that were stolen." He looked down. Mendel looked at him. Then a small smile crept across her face. "I'm sure she'll like that a lot." Was all she could think of to say to the thoughtful child. She wrapped her arm around his shoulder and led him to the main room, all the time thinking, My Nanashi.
