*~A week later~*

"How's he doing,"Heero asked.

"He's doing ok.After you left he was so depressed and Trowa told him that it wasn't healthy for the baby if he was depressed,"Quatre sighed into the vid-phone.

"Where is he now,"Heero asked.

"He's outside walking with Wufei.We won't let him go outside alone.Considering what happened a few days ago,"Quatre said.

"What happened,"Heero asked.

"He had a dizzy spell and fainted.Trowa found him I'm guessing five minuets after he fell and there was a snake by him,"Quatre shivered.

"Well is he alright?Did it bite him,"Heero asked.

"He's ok.The snake didn't seem to notice him and Trowa carried Duo back into the house before he woke up,"Quatre smiled.

"He shouldn't be walking,"Heero said,crossing his arms over his chest.

"Don't take it away from him Heero.That's all he has.He loves to walk outside.I walked with him yesterday and he really didn't seem to care that I was there but he was so peaceful.I mean it's like when your out side walking...it's like there's no war everything is perfect,"Quatre sighed.

"He's happy walking,"Heero asked.

"He's happy only when he walks.It's good excersice and...he talks to the baby when he walks asking it if it likes the trees the grass...just anything that comes to his mind,"Quatre smiled.

"He talks to it,"Heero asked with a small smile of his own.

"He does.He once even sang it to sleep.Well...he told me he was singing the baby to sleep.He has a nice voice when he's not trying to sing off key,"Quatre said.

"God I wish I was there.I miss him,"Heero sighed.

"You'll be home in a few more weeks....hey Heero...When is your next window to call.I'm sure Duo would love to talk to you,"Quatre said.

"I don't know......um....tomorrow around....two in the morning,"Heero sighed.

"He'll be asleep by then,"Quatre said.

"I know...I don't want him to wake up just to talk to me,"Heero said.

"He'll wake up anyway.That's when he usually gets up for a little snack in the morning,"Quatre giggled.

"I guess I'll talk to him then.I've got to go.My window is closing.Bye Quatre.Tell Duo that....I love him,"Heero said.

"I will.Stay safe Heero,"Quatre said before terminating the call.

"Two in the morning,"Quatre laughed to himself as he wrote Duo a small note about Heero's call.

*****************************************************************

"Come on Wufei.It won't hurt you or me,"Duo sighed leaning up against a tree.

"I promised Quatre I wouldn't leave you,"Wufei said.

"You aren't really leaving me so much as letting me have some time alone,"Duo said.

"That made no sence!I made a promise and I'm keeping it,"Wufei said stomping his foot.

"Please Wufei.I'll stay right here.I'm not going anywhere.I just want some time to myself,"Duo pleaded.

"Fine.If you need me just yell.I'm going to go look at the lake we passed,"Wufei grumbled walking off as Duo smiled.

"We're alone now baby,"Duo sighed,slowly sitting down on the ground in the small aclove of trees.

The baby only gave a kick as a response.

"You know...I wonder if when Heero gets back...if he'll come walking with me.I can show him this spot too.It may not be much but I think it's kinda cozy,"Duo said pulling a blade of grass from the ground."I just hope Heero gets back soon.I don't like being alone.I know I'm not really alone.I have Trowa,Quatre,and Wufei around,but...it's not the same when I have Heero with me.He'll hold me and just talk to me.Quatre talks but not the way Heero does.I think Quatre just feels obligated to,but I know he's not.He tries to listen,but he likes to talk to and I'm always talking and not letting him get hardly any thing said edge wise...Kinda like I'm doing now huh,"Duo chuckled to himself.

The baby responded with two sharp kicks and Duo just laughed,rubbing his stomach gentally.

"Heero needs to hurry home,"Duo sighed.

A few minuets later Wufei came back to the little aclove of trees where he left Duo.

"Ready to go,"Wufei asked quietly,seeing how peaceful Duo looked.

"Yeah.We need to get back before Quatre sends Trowa out to look for me again,"Duo smiled,slowly standing up,holding his stomach.

"You ok,"Wufei asked as he steadied Duo on his feet.

"Yeah.This guy is just getting a little heavy,"Duo smiled.

"Lets get you home,"Wufei said as he and Duo started walking back towards the small little safe house.

*************************************************

"So he'll call at two,"Duo asked finishing off his supper.

"He said that was his next open window,"Quatre said.

"I'll be up then anyway so it doesn't bother me,"Duo smiled.

"You want me to lay something out for you to eat,just so you won't have to skip your snack,"Quatre asked.

"You don't have to.I'll find something while I talk to him,"Duo smiled.

"It's no problem.I'll do it,"Quatre said as he cleared the table.

"If you want to,"Duo shrugged.

"I do.You should go to sleep now.You look a little tired,"Quatre said putting the dishes in the sink.

"I am a little worn out,but I'll stay up to help you with the dishes,"Duo said standing from his seat.

"They'll sit a night.Go on to bed Duo.Rest up for Heero,"Quatre smiled ushering Duo out of the kitchen.

"Alright.Good night Quatre,"Duo smiled,climbing the stairs to his room slowly.

"Good night Duo,"Quatre said going back to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

******************************************************

~~Ring~~Ring~~Ring~~

"Hello...Yeah hold on a second........DUO TELEPHONE,"Quatre yelled.

"Hmmm?...OK,"Duo yelled from his room.

"Hello,"Duo asked turning on the phone and still laying in bed.

"Duo,"A familar voice asked.

"Heero,"Duo asked sitting up in bed and looking over to the phone to see Heero's face.

"Did I wake you,"Heero asked.

"No...No I was fixing to get up,"Duo said picking up the handheld vid phone in his hands.

"Good cause I wouldn't want to wake you.You need as much rest as you can get,"Heero smiled.

"I miss you,"Duo said.

"I miss you,but I'll be back in a few weeks.I'll be back,"Heero sighed.

"I wish you didn't have to go,"Duo sighed standing and carring the vid-phone down stairs.

"I had to.You know that we have to fight the war.We have to make it safe for our son,"Heero said.

"I know.But what if war happens again.What will we do,"Duo asked.

"We'll do what we're called to do to make the worlds safe again,"Heero said.

"This is going to be a long war,"Duo sighed.

"Maybe not...We'll just have to wait and see love,"Heero said.

"We'll see then huh,"Duo asked.

"Hai,"Heero replied,nodding his head a little.

"Hold on a second,Heero.I'm a little hungry,"Duo smiled setting the phone down on the kitchen counter and opening the fridge to get out what Quatre had left for him.

"What are you getting,"Heero asked.

"Just some fruit.It's all I eat this early in the morning,"Duo shrugged.

"Oh.That's good,"Heero said.

"That little prick!He lied to me,"Duo said looking at the empty sink.

"What,"Heero asked.

"Quatre did the dishes,"Duo pouted.

"Ummm...Ok,"Heero chuckled.

"Go ahead.Laugh it up Yuy...but I wanted to help,"Duo pouted.

"Duo that pregnancy is making you weird.You actually wanted to help with the dishes,"Heero asked.

"Yeah I did.I never get to do anything!I don't even get to go outside and walk by myself,"Duo sighed sitting down infront of the vid-phone.

"They just worry about you.They don't want you to get hurt,"Heero said.

"I know,but I'm not made of glass for crying out loud,"Duo said crossing his arms over his chest.

"I know.Duo I've got to go.My window is closing.I'll talk to you again when I can ok,"Heero asked.

"Ok...I love you Heero,"Duo sighed tracing Heero's image with his finger.

"I love you too.Be safe,"Heero said tracing Duo's image.

"You to love,"Duo said with a small smile.

"Bye Duo,"Heero said.

"Bye,"Duo said as the call was terminated and before he could cry.

"Bye,"Duo repeated covering his eyes with his hands and crying.
