Chapter Six
"Miss Relena…please prepare yourself for landing…" said her secretary interrupting the girl's thoughts.
She had spent the entire trip thinking about her 'conversation' with Heero. It was pretty much clear that Heero did not want to have anything to do with her. He was not even curious about what she wanted to tell him.
'I should not be so upset…after all I knew that there was this risk…' Relena thought while packing up the documents she had used to pretend she was busy reading them.
The problem was that she was upset. She had made the mistake of thinking that there was hope, that maybe if Heero saw her he would speak to her and would tell her that he loved her too…but, of course, that was daydreaming and she knew that there was a very slim chance that this could actually happen. In any case, now her problems were others. She had a baby on the way and she had to think about the consequences this fact would bring. How would she justify it all to the press, to her fellow politicians and to the people around her...
Thankfully, she was still in the first few weeks of the pregnancy and, physically, nothing had actually changed. She only felt slightly dizzy first thing in the morning but she had learned that having a cracker and a coffee fixed everything up.
Deep down she was quite excited about the whole thing. In fact, she was already wondering whether it was a boy or a girl, how the baby would look like, secretly hoping it would look like Heero.
Getting up from her seat, instinctively, put her hand on her tummy. She smiled. Applying her optimistic nature to the situation she thought that, at least, from now on, she would never be alone anymore. Besides, she had a handful of friends that would be more than happy to help her. For example, Lucrezia and Milliardo, even if they now lived in Mars, Relena was sure that they would give her a hand.
But all of this thoughts were a bit premature, Relena told herself, at the end of the day, she hadn't even spoken to Heero and, although his attitude was not the best, maybe there was still hope. What Relena feared the most was that Heero would stay with her only for the baby. This actually terrified her.
No. She didn't want to think of this. She had to stay positive.
"Miss Relena…", suddenly a voice said interrupting her flow of thoughts.
"What?" Relena replied rather rudely, regretting it instantly realising that the voice's owner was no one other than her secretary, Judy, that was looking at her very concerned.
"I'm sorry, I was asking you if you were ok. You've been unusually quiet and, if I'm allowed to be frank, you seemed lost in your thoughts…" said Judy.
"Please forgive me…I'm just thinking about the terraforming project…It's a bit more complicated than I expected…" Relena said lying through her teeth and feeling awful about it.
"Ah…I see…" Judy replied and, to Relena, she didn't sound too convinced.
"Well, let's go home…" added Relena quickly trying to change the topic.
"Yes, of course…" Judy said following Relena inside the car that was going to take them home.
