Chapter Thirty Two

The house was all quiet. Everyone had gone to sleep. Even Relena had managed to fall asleep relatively easily. It had been a tiring day but she was happy.

In the room next to her, Heero was the only one in the house that was not sleeping. He felt very restless. He had too many unanswered questions in his head to fall sleep.

He decided to get up and head towards Relena's bedroom. He went in without knocking. The lights were off but through the window came enough light to see Relena laying on her bed.

She was sleeping.

Heero went to her side and looked at her her. It was the first time since he had moved to her house that he saw her sleeping. He looked at her for quite a while. She looked like an angel. A sleeping angel. He decided to wake her up and started shaking her softly.

She woke up with a jolt. Looking up saw Heero.

"Heero? What's wrong?" said sleepily.

"I need some answers…" Heero said sitting by her side.

"Ah…what is it?" asked Relena.

"Ok…first of all, why were you all crying during the wedding?" asked Heero.

"Oh, well…you know, people, mainly women, cry when they get emotional…is just an reflex that comes instinctively…" explained Relena now fully awake sitting on her bed next to where Heero was sitting.

"Ok. But, does that mean you're sad?" asked Heero.

"No…it's just a reflex. When a person cries, it may be for many different reasons…" replied Relena.

"Ah. Ok. I also wanted to tell you this, three days ago, the doctors did a test on me and hypnotised me. They were asking me questions about my past and the asked me if there was anyone special in my life and if so, twhy this person was so special…" explained Heero.

"And…what did you say?" asked Relena.

"I heard my registered voice saying that the most important person for me was you…" replied Heero.

"And….?" managed to say Relena. She started feeling a strange knot blocking her throat. She was incredibly close to burst in tears. Heero had admitted that the most important person in his life, well at least in the past, had been her. When Heero replied to Relena's last question, she just could not hold herself any longer.

"I said that you were the most important person for me because I loved you…".

Relena started crying so much she almost had convulsions. This was too much for her to handle. Heero had loved her. He did love her before all this mayhem happened. If only they had not got kidnapped, everything would have been alright. They would have spoken and they would have confessed to each other their feelings. The most upsetting thing was that, if all of this had not happened, it would probably been them the ones going off on honeymoon and their baby would be almost ready to come to this world…They would have been a family. Now…

Heero, not knowing what to do, hugged her like he had seen other people hugging each other. They stayed like that till Relena got a bit calmer. Heero remembered then the last question he had.

"Relena. I know I am a mess now. I realise how difficult it has been for you in this last few months. I know that I still have a long way to go but, I really need to know if this feeling I used to feel for you is still there. Because I feel that the only person I really want to be with is still you. Will you please stay with me and help me find the answers I need? I know that what I'm asking is very selfish, I am not even guaranteeing that I will succeed but it's the only thing I have to offer you…"

Relena looked up to meet Heero's eyes. She was in so much pain while he was looking at her hopeful. They had been through so much that, it was a miracle that they could even consider the possibility that they may still have the chance of being together. Finally, Relena found her voice to reply:

"Heero, I don't understand why you are even asking such thing. You really should know better than this…Of course I will stay with you and I will help you…even if it takes forever, I will still be with you, because Heero, without you, I'm lost…you're all my life…" then she burst in tears once more.

Heero smiled again, it was the second time that day that he smiled. He was about to break his personal record. Relena loved him so much when he smiled…She wanted to do all she could so he would only have reasons to smile.

They hugged each other and, laying down, fell asleep in each other's arms.
