Disclaimer: None of the boys are mine... Only in my dreams... So don't sue all you'll get is a very beat up manga collection.

Note: This fic was inspired by a recent reading of Romeo and Juliet, and hey I thought what the hey. The structure will be much the same as will the story/part breaks... Ahh structure vs. complete chaos. So here goes my first fic, please be kind.

Special Notes: Thanks to Tai and Mako-chan! My number one betas! They are they best *glomps them both* Well thanks so much for those of you still with me on this fic! Also due to a very interesting thread on SDDI I've decided to say that I encourage Constructive Criticism! Lay it on me I want to know if you love it or hate it! And most of all, I want to know why! Getting closer to the break off point for the happy ending! I'm very excited! *huggles* ~Jadeduo

Star-Crossed Lovers - Part 19

Dorothy glared at her irate husband, and then ran after her son. He had to know that someone did care for him and understood and trusted his decisions. She was afraid. Afraid that he would try something stupid. When she reached the door, she knocked tersely. "Heero, it's me, your mother. Open up. We need to talk."

J opened the door to the lady of the house. He looked at her coldly. "He doesn't want to see you right now."

"Please, J, let me in. I... This isn't right. Why is Odin doing this to him!?" Dorothy looked down at her feet. "Please, J, just for five minutes. I know I'm not the one he needs, and I gave up the right to mother him a long time ago, but... I just want to make sure he's going to be okay."

Heero called from the bedroom. "J, let her in." Stepping away from the doorway, J let in the worried mother. Then, he stood back to watch the oncoming scene play out to it's conclusion.

Heero stepped out into the formal sitting room from the bedroom, and glared at the woman who gave him life. "What is it you want?"

"Heero, I just... Heero, please don't do anything drastic. I love you, and your father loves you. We just want what's best for you."

"Then, you would let me be with the one I love, instead of forcing me to marry her royal pain in the ass. Know that you condemn me to a life of infidelity to the one I love." He said plainly, letting the truth hit his mother with full force.

Dorothy tried to reason with her distressed, but stone-cold, son. "Heero, please, this isn't right. I know you don't want this, but what can I do? I don't have the kind of power Relena has, and what will happen if you tell all of Sanc you are married to an exile? You'll be exiled too! And I'll lose you! Heero, I love you! I know gave up that right a long time ago, but you have to do this tomorrow! We don't have a choice."

"Fine. Leave me with my grief then. I not only have lost a cousin and best friend these past few days, but I also lost a husband. Leave me."

"Heero, I-"

"LEAVE ME! NOW!"

Dorothy yelped and looked sadly at her only child, leaving him alone with his memories. She knew it would be only thing keeping him warm in the lonely nights to come.
