DISCLAIMER: I own Katie and Kevin but not Trowa, Heero or Duo
AUTHOR NOTE: Ok here's part two for you all, I hope you enjoy it.
Trowa sighed as he dragged along slim hand through his light brown hair; this was a lot harder than he originally thought it would be. The numbers on the screen just didn't add up to the total that Lady Une wanted them to.
"Probably Duo did them before me" he muttered, Duo and numbers on a sheet didn't mix, he could so much but the thought of simple mathematics left the braided boy cold. Trowa rested his fist against the side of his face.
God he wished that Heero hadn't of needed to go to work that day, the next day would have been fine since Trowa was back at work, but today he wanted to spend with his Koi, they had both been so busy recently that when Heero had announced that they had given him leave for a few weeks, Trowa had admitted applied for a break as well.
He frowned not that they had let him, he remembered it clearly, Lady Une had sat in front of him and smiled sympathetically at him as she had spoken in her soft well-spoken voice
"I'm sorry Trowa but with Heero away there is no way that we can let you go as well, it has to be either one of you, I can put your request in for the week when Heero returns so you can have one or two days together but other than that I'm afraid not" Trowa had nodded and told them that he understood the situation that they were in and accepted the offer telling her to make it 5 days only, she had smiled sadly again and nodded.
Heero had been equally as pissed off by the news but he accepted it as well, reminded Trowa of the fact that they would have a few days together and that they still had the nights together so they were better off than most people. After all Duo and Wufei barely saw each other and they were fine.
He pushed himself away from the screen and frowned again. Sometimes he wondered whether the people they work with plan it that every time they had a chance to be with each other some urgent piece of information or news would arrive that required their various skills in it. Trowa smiled slightly, even he had some trouble sometimes coming to terms with how much he was gradually changing, he smiled regularly now, not a proper smile or grin but a small heart felt one or a half smile, he even laughed more. He wasn't as nervous or afraid at letting people get closed and it seemed that finally with him coming of age all the pains and suffering of his childhood seemed to be slowly but surely melting away. He could see the same thing in Heero as well. The perfect solider finally beginning to live his life, he was even talking about leaving the preventors and instead joining a company that specialized in computer work. That would be a big change for him, for them both if he did. Not only would Heero finally have cut his final connection to anything war related but he would also be free of it all. Maybe he himself should take a similar route after all he did miss the circus and Catherine, though it would be a bit hard for Catherine to do her acts when she was 7 months pregnant with a child.
The doorbell rang suddenly piercing through the quietness of the flat and breaking Trowa out of his deep thoughts. He glanced at the clock and smiled, 7 in the evening. It had to be Heero, a smile came to Trowa's face he had probably forgotten his keys again. It rang again bringing Trowa to his feet and walking down the corridor. He stopped in front of the front door and frowned, his small smile dispersing. He had a bad feeling in his stomach, an instinct telling him that whatever was behind that door was trouble for himself and Heero. He hesitated, there was no fear from any attack, they were still wary enough to have cameras everywhere checking but still there was a feeling. He shook his head and ignored it and instead opened the door.
In front of him was a woman; average height with dark brown hair and green eyes, her facial expression was one of someone who was worried over something. He placed her to be around about his or Heero's age maybe a year younger.
She looked at him in surprise and hesitated
"May I help you?" he asked politely, his voice automatically turning expressionless. She nodded slightly
"Er hi" she said "My name is Katie… Katie Walsh, I'm looking for someone by the name of Heero Yuy, I don't suppose he's in it's just really important that I speak to him immediately. Trowa stared at her with renewed interest though he didn't show it. What could this woman have business with Heero for?
"He's at work" he replied finally
"Oh so he definitely lives here" she gave a sigh of relief "Do you know when he'll be back?"
"Soon why don't you…" Trowa's voice died off as he noticed a small figure from behind Katie watching him through soft Prussian blue eyes, dark brown hair covered the head of the small boy and his skin was tanned. Katie noticed his look and looked behind her to see what he was looking at
"Oh this is Kevin," she said indicating the boy "He's my son, that's why I need to see Heero" Trowa's voice became harsh as the feeling in his stomach became unbearable
"What business do you and your child have with Heero?" he demanded roughly. She looked puzzled at him
"What business we have?" she questioned then she laughed slightly out of nervousness "Well Kevin is Heero's son you see"
