Chapter 13
" I had a friend, whom became much more, I had a friend who always waited at my front door.." Hilde begun to scribble down the words.

Than the soft tap against her door caused her to brake concentration, " Hilde, its me Noin," she heard her sister sweet voice echo through her ears.

Since the night the old man left, she had really been able to speak to anyone but Noin; she understood everything and much more of what Hilde was going through.

" I brought some cookies and milk, kinda thought it be good to have a cookie party," she smiled, and placed the glass of milk and cookies beside Hilde.

" Thanks," she reached for one of the cookies and sunk her teeth into the tender flesh of it, " what'cha really in here for?"

" You know me so good now a days," she paused, and reached for a cookie and Hilde slapped her hand away. " Ouch!"

" My cookies," Hilde made a grabbed for the tray of chocolate chip delights, and than begun shoving one after the other into her mouth.

" Heh. Get up and get some cloths on we are going into town, for a fun out day," Noin said gleefully.

" Ah man do we have to?" Hilde whined.

" Yes we do," Noin said sternly, " so go and change."

~ 11:00 a.m ~

Duo and Zechs took in a deep breath of the land air, " it's good to be back on land," Duo exhaled, and Zechs nodded in agreement.

" Today we'll find them," Zechs smiled, " let's slip up."

" Hilde look at this it'll look so adorable on you," Noin suggested, as she pressed a mint green dress against Hilde that stop about two above her knees.

" I don't want that, and Noin you know we don't have enough money around here to be throwing it away on something not needed," Hilde scolded.

" I make the money and you Hilde, listen to me...I want you to have a good time," she paused," I want you to get things you want."

" Is this suppose to make me forget, is this suppose to be some kinda of candy for me to chew on for a while and than when I'm through the pain comes back again?! I thought you understood me, I thought you knew I did..." " stop there!" Noin interrupted her, she grabbed Hilde's arm and took off running Hilde scurrying behind her.

" What are you doing Noin?" Hilde asked, as she tried to pull her wrist out of Noin's hand.

" I saw him," she yelled back and kept her pace, " I saw Zechs!"

Hilde shook her head, " Stop it! Stop it now Noin! Stop hurting yourself...don't do this!" Hilde yelled.

" No, no I saw him I KNOW it was him," she snapped, " Zechs! Zechs!" she shouted as she continued her shouting.

" What if it is him, and he's moved on..." Hilde snapped, Noin stop abruptly at that, " what if he left because he wanted someone else?"

Noin bit her bottom lip and glared down at her younger sister, and before she could stop herself, she slapped her HARD. " SHUT UP, don't you ever say THAT again. Just because you fell for an old man who might die at any minute, doesn't mean you tell me what happen with my guy!"

Hilde stood nearly in tears her face tilted and a red mark quickly appearing on her cheek, she aided it with a hand. " H-h-how could you?" she question, and before she knew it she was turned on heel and begun to run.

" Hilde! Hilde I didn't mean it..." Noin slapped her forehead, ' what have I done...' she wonder.

" Noin," Noin whirled around, and almost fainted on the spot as she gazed into the pearly blue eyes that belong to no other than Zech.

" Z-z-z-z Zechs!" she flung her arms around his shoulder and clung to him, she let all tears she kept inside her emerge as he wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her even tighter if possible.

" I'm so sorry I left you Noin...I never meant to, and I wanted to come back but I was so scared..." he whispered, as he placed a kiss on her lips.

" Scared? Scared of me?" she asked as she pulled away and out of his embrace, searching his eyes and face for any sign of anything.

" No, afraid that you had fallen for someone else....that I'd come back and you'd have a family and you'd be happy with out me," he whispered.

" I love you, I loved you than....I love you now and forever!" She honestly advised him, taking him into another heart warming embrace. People had already scattered around them watching the scene, which they had realize till they had finished a lick lock, and nearly turned the shade of pink.

" I love you, too," he breathed, " but how about we go somewhere, where not the main event," he smiled.

" Okay," she replied, " Ok.."

" Stupid bet!" she yelled, as she kicked the limestone and tar pebbles across the street her hands stuffed into her pocket. The breeze caressed her short dark blue hair, " I would never feel like this if it wasn't for that bet..." she half laughed.

Her fingers gingerly caressed the steady bridges rims, " I have a heart...maybe if some one brakes it I'll die,"she recited. Her small figure begun to shudder as she became overcome by tears, " Why?"

" I was about to ask the same...what would a girl like you be doing up here, crying?" she heard an all to familiar voice from behind her.

" Old man!" she yelled as she whirled around, but only drew back as she saw a young boy with long chest-nut brown hair standing before her, NOT the old man. " Who are you?"

" Someone, a stranger with a problem," he begun, " see I left this girl..that I like A LOT, and now I'm here..because I'm scared. I had my whole life on track I knew what I wanted to do where I wanted to go and whom I wanted to do all that for, till I met her. Now all I could do is think about her, kinda got advice from a guy who had the same problem. But I'm afraid she won't take me back," he said.

Hilde glanced up at him and for a moment she could swear she saw something, heard something, she laughed. "Believe me she'll forgive you she'll probably even hitch herself so tight to you and never let you go," she whispered, as she rested her elbows on the arms of the bridge than rested her head in her palms.

" I heard you..." Duo whispered.

Hilde arched a brow at that, " what do you mean what I sai-," but before she could finish her sentence he had his lips pressed against her. She stood baffled at what had happen, but when she quickly recovered she never pushed him away instead she kissed him back as though it was something she had been waiting for her whole life.

" I love you, Hilde," Duo breathed as he pulled back, and smiled at her his hands cuffing her face.

" Old man?!" she became wide eye, " You lied! Why did you pretend to be some old guy?!"

" I was on a mission and I never lied cause you NEVER asked!" he replied.

" I never asked cause I never thought I should of!" she snapped.

" Maybe I was making a mistake come back her!" he snapped back.

" You said you heard me...what did you mean?" she asked quickly changing the subject.

" When you said you loved me, that why I came back...that's why I'm here," he whispered.

" Well I do, I just..how could ever leave me in the first place do you know what you did to me?" she asked.

" Made ya miss me babe," he smirked, Hilde smacked him.

" Ouch!" he exclaimed as he rubbed his head.

" You deserved it," she spat, and he smacked her on the butt.

She yelped, and smacked him again," Watch your hands buddy!"

~ Two Years Later ~

" You know I'm glad we made that bet," Relena smiled, at her now even closer friend.

Hilde smiled, as she patted her swollen stomach, " me as well...and in the end we did both win and lose," Hilde chuckled.

" Well at least my hair has grown back," she giggled, as she repeated Hilde's actions to her own pregnant stomach.

" How my lovely lady doing?" Duo chirped, as he stalked over to Relena and Hilde Heero following behind.

" Give me a kiss and I'll tell," Hilde said .
" You two are children, you shouldn't be having them..." Heero scuffed.

" Big bro that was mean," Hilde pouted.

" Uncle and Auntie Hilde and Hewwo, mommy said you need to come inside you two aunty relena and Duo," little zechary said.

" We'll be there in a sec, Zechs," Relena smiled, and patted the top of his head.

Hilde and Relena pushed themselves up and off the bench they were seated, and headed towards the door of the gray house.

" Hey Heero man, want shoot some hoops later?" Duo asked.

" No!" Heero replied.

" come on man!" Duo pleaded.

" NO," he repeated.

" Just one game?" Duo question.

" No!" Heero shouted.

" Aw man," Duo pouted, and followed behind them.
