Mutter von Engel. (Mother of Engel)

"Umm.. Ok.. Guys?!" Duo stood at the front door trying to yell over the ringing phone, the TV, Engel's cries, and Trowa's orders to somebody. "Uhh.. Guys!? Just feed Engel, the Spinach! And change him in about a half hour! Guys?!" Wufei was holding Engel, while he got into a fight with Trowa, and Heero and Quatre were on the phone.

Duo heavied a sigh and left for work.

"You change him!" Wufei demanded, that was a ten minute argument, but Quatre took the job. Then Engel started crying. "Oh no?"

"Maybe he's hungry! Here! I have the formula!" Trowa took the bottle out from the microwave and spilled some on his arm to test the warmth, "OW!!!" Heero snatched the bottel away, "OY! BAKA! YOU LEFT IT IN THERE TOO LONG!"

Engel kept crying as they all ran around trying to figure out what was wrong. Until Quatre started patting his back. "Hey.. I think its working.. He just needed to be burped.."

When Duo came home, the pilots were asleep all over the living room. Duo picked up engel and smiled, "Tired them out, eh?" Duo rubbed noses with him before leaving the room.

Several years have passed. Engel was no longer a baby. He could run, walk, skip, jump, anything a normal seven year old can do. But it was clear that none of Duo's features were on Engel, not one.

Engel has round green eyes, jade sometimes, and jet black hair. Duo never spoke of the mother, but the others were all dying to ask. As Duo smiled from the back door watching Engel on the swing, Heero tapped him on his shoulder.

"We need to talk..."

Duo turned to meet four serious faces. "What's up?"

"Duo.. We've helped you raise, Engel to feel as if he's our own.. Please, we must know who's his mother.."

Quatre spoke gently.. "You guys will never let up will you?" Some shook their heads as Duo walked into the living room, so Engel wouldn't hear. "It was during that.. Fight in Germany..."

"Stupid, woman! How can we fight them without any good weapons?!" Wufei shouted from the ground. Duo's moble suit was hit on its left shoulder and started a fire. Duo moved his suit away from Heero. And just before Duo was consumed, he jumped out from the pilots seat to the ground. He quickly ran while trying to signle Heero, "I'm out! I got out!"

But it crackled with static. But Duo tossed it aside when he heard blood curdling screams . Duo saw a woman trapped under a collapsed wall. Duo ran to her as he was bleeding and crying. She screamed to him in German, "Kind! Kind!" She shouted, no not 'kind' it meant child. Duo saw wrapped in a blood soaked gray blanket, under the woman's breasts, was a child.

She seemed to be at ease when Duo picked up the child. She also smiled when her hand tried to reach the child's face..

"Duo.. May God Bless you..."

'Sister Helen...'

Childhood memories came, which drowned out the gun shots and explosions. The woman with green eyes and blonde hair turned into Sister Helen. "Kind.. Kind..." She whispered as Duo stared at her confused and shocked. She spoke more but sighed and laid there dead. Duo looked at the baby, he was crying and stained with his mother's blood.

Duo got up and started to run away, East, with the child... Until he came into the woods so far away, he couldn't hear nothing but the birds singing. Duo cleaned the child up and wrapped him using his shirt. The baby started to whimper, as tears rolled off and fell onto his face.

"Its ok.. to cry...."

Duo whispered to the baby.. As the tears kept coming.

"I'll love you.. I'll take care of you...."

The living room was silent.....

-End.

Spazmastic: Well Duo/Folken/TK, how would any loving parent feel if their child was kidnapped? -_-;
