The Hinting in your eyes..

"Hmm.... uh...? Ah!"

Duo shut his eyes at the bright light, he blinked a few times, his puplis trying to adjust themselves. "Doctor!" A nurse saw Duo awake and searched for a doctor with delight. Moments later they came back to see Duo shivering a bit.

"Are you cold?"

"H-hurts.."

"Ah! Of course, you had a nasty accident, nearly killed you.."

"Killed....? Engel!? ENGEL, MY SON?!"

Duo tried moving but from the casts and pain he didn't succeed. "Relax! He's perfectly fine, we let him go home with his uncles." The pain was gone it seemed, when Duo laid back with his eyes closed, the apperance of a warm smile spread across his heart shaped face.

"You had a dislocated right shoulder, cuts and scrapes and a fractured spine."

Duo's smile fade rapidly as he looked at the doctor and nurse with a serious, shocked expression.

"Its all right, you will heal.. We were deeply concerned.. We thought you would meet.. complications but it seems now you're all right."



"When can I see my family?"

"Perhaps this afternoon, you rest though."

The two walked away but not before Duo noticed the nurse taking glances at him. He sighed and tried to sleep, but he was too anxious for the others to come. "Hurry! I want to see my daddy!" Engel shouted with excitement. "We have to wait for the light." Trowa smiled at the boy, Engel laid his head on Trowa's shoulder with a heavy sigh.

Trowa chuckled and kissed the boy's forehead. When they got to the hospital, Heero had a hard time trying to grasp Engel's wrist firmly. "Engel! Don't run!" Heero hissed, that tone always worked on the small boy but not this time.

Finally with a twist at his wrist Engel broke loose and ran the halls and ducked into a quiet dim room. The pilots were a bit annoyed at the child but they were anxious to see Duo too. Engel crawled up on Duo's bed and listened to his father breath. Engel placed a hand on Duo's warm left cheek, "Daddy..?" Duo tilted his head before opening his eyes.

When he did he saw a glow, that special glow only he could see. And deep pools of the richest green eyes, that the trees would shake with envy. And turfs of black shaggy hair hung down in his face. Duo smiled as wide as he could, for the first time he was speechless to his son. Duo threw his left arm around the boy's back and held him protectively.

Engel snuggled his face in Duo's hair, smelling for that familiar scent which he loved so much. Duo planted countless kisses on the boy's face, but what made Engel move away was he felt something warm and wet hit his neck.



He sat up and saw Duo's cheeks blushing with his now dark blue eyes sending out silver tears. Duo used his hand to brush the black hair back. Duo couldn't speak, all he could do was try to remember that face he loved for so long, and the tears wouldn't stop. When Duo was in that street, he lifted Engel up, and that moment on till now Duo had felt fear of loosing him.

Now someone so close and dear to him. Blood, is not as strong as the bond of love. "Don't cry.. Are you mad at me?" The green in his inoccent eyes pleaded the truth in understanding. "Oh.. No.. No my Angel, I just missed you terribly.." Engel smiled, and turned to look back as the pilots stood silently in the back.

"Hey.." Duo smiled with a sniffle as they approached forward. "Duo, how are you feeling?" Quatre asked with a smile, "Heh.. Pain.. But i'm a lot better now.." Duo smiled as he ruffled Engel's hair some more.

"Hehhehehe.. Much better.."

Duo tilted his head to his left and smiled brightly at Heero. "..Much better.." Duo whispered..
