Hi. Thanks for the reviews. Sorry this part took so long. For all those who guessed right… read on and see.
Disclaim: I (unfortunately) DON'T OWN GUNDAM WING!
Part 1The Meeting.
Chang Wufei pressed himself as close to the wall as he could. He cursed himself a fool and a coward, but he didn't dare move. He held his breath, watched and waited. After what seemed an eternity, the group of men left. Wufei let out a sigh of relief and sank to the ground. His arms instinctively wrapped themselves around his stomach. He had been running from them for over a month now. He had considered ridding himself of the child, but he knew no hospital could or would help him. He had also considered going to his friends for help, but he knew what would happen there, too. Maxwell would laugh at him, Yuy and Barton would think him a fool, and Winner had his own problems keeping up with his family's estate. Besides, he had no idea where to find them anyway. He sighed. He knew he needed help, but he had nowhere to go.
"Excuse me, Sir, are you alright?" came a woman's voice. Wufei glanced up, and stared at her in utter shock.
"N… Nataku?" He whispered.
"Nataku? Who is Nataku?" the woman asked, sounding confused.
"Never mind," Wufei said.
"Are you hurt?" the woman asked.
"No," Wufei replied.
"Well, what's wrong?" the woman asked, sounding concerned.
"Why do you care, Woman?! I'm a complete stranger to you!" Wufei shouted, rising to his feet.
"Well, excuse me! I figured you were in some kind of trouble. I guess not," she shot back.
"I can take care of myself," Wufei said, knowing full well his voice lacked any conviction.
"Right, and that would explain why you're hiding in a corner," she said.
"My life is none of your business, Woman!" Wufei said angrily.
"Fine, if you don't want my help, that's just fine," she shot back. She turned on her heels and started to walk away, but her heart seemed to get the better of her, and she came back.
"At least come with me, even for a little while," she said softly," you look like you could use a warm meal," she wrinkled her nose, "and a bath. Afterward, you can decide what to do next. You don't have any where to go, do you." Wufei shook his head.
"Ok, then why don't come with me?" She asked. He laughed softly.
"Ok, ok, fine," he said. She took his hand and pulled him into the colony's artificial sunlight. Wufei finally got a good look at her. She had long, wavy, raven-black hair that cascaded just past her shoulders, and her semi-slanted eyes resembled the color of the ocean at midnight. A blue t-shirt and a pair of jeans covered her slender body. In her arms she held a small wrapped bundle.
"By the way," Wufei said suddenly, " I don't know your name."
"Oh, I'm sorry," she said, blushing, "it's Enea*."
"My name is Chang Wufei," he replied.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Wufei," she said, smiling. He was about to ask her another question when a small cry escaped from the bundle she was carrying.
A baby, Wufei realized. She rocked the child gently until the crying stopped.
"Oh, this is my son, Aaron," She said, when she saw Wufei watching her.
The child resembles her, Wufei thought. Aaron had his mother's black hair and deep turquoise eyes. Wufei instinctively rubbed his stomach at the sight of the child.
"Something wrong?" Enea asked, sounding worried.
"No," Wufei said. She just shrugged and they kept walking.
"Here's my place," she said after a while. Wufei shook his head as he fallowed her inside. He sincerely hoped he was doing the right thing.
