Chapter Three

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Quatre was getting things ready for when Wufei and Duo finally made it over.  Earlier that week they had told them all that they had a surprise.  Quatre spent the rest of the week trying to figure out what the surprise was.

"Do you think they got a dog?" Quatre asked Heero. 

"I doubt it." He answered. 

"Do you think they got a new car?" Quatre questioned.

"No.  They just bought a new car three months ago."  Trowa said.

"You never know, Duo could have wrecked it already!" Quatre exclaimed.

"Some how I don't think so." Milliardo said, walking into the kitchen.

"I want to know what they got!" Quatre pouted.

"Then wait until they get here." Heero said, reading the sports section of the newspaper.

A few minutes later, a blue sports car pulled into the driveway.  Duo and Wufei stepped out of the car.  Wufei waited as Duo went to the back seat and pulled out a small child.  She clung to his next.  They walked up and knocked on the door.

Quatre ran to the front door and answered it.  "You have a kid?!" He asked excitedly.  Duo stepped inside and removed his sunglasses. 

"Everyone, this is Deidre*."  He introduced the shy girl.  She peered an eye out of Duo's shoulder and looked at Quatre.  She turned away shyly. 

"Awww, she's so cute!" Quatre commented.

"How old is she?" Heero asked.

"She's five." Wufei said, taking the little girl out of Duo's arms.  She then clung to his neck.

Heero walked up next to Duo.  "Who let you have a kid?"

Duo smacked him, "I am capable of taking care of a kid."  She looked between Heero and Duo and started giggling.  Heero looked at the girl, and she buried her head into Wufei's shoulder.  Duo smacked Heero again, "Be nice." He said, wagging a finger at him.  Heero grabbed the finger and began to pull on it. 

"Hey!  Leave my Daddy alone!"  Deidre said to Heero.  He looked over at the girl and she dug her face back into Wufei's shoulder.  He finally let go of Duo's finger. 

Duo went over to Wufei and took Deidre from him.  "My protector." He said kissing her cheek. 

"Deidre...this is Quatre, Milliardo, Trowa, and Heero."  Wufei pointed everyone out. 

"Hello!" She said cheerfully. 

"She's shy for the first five minutes." Duo commented.  "Then she's a chatter box."

"Like you?" Trowa questioned.

"No one can talk more then Maxwell." Heero commented.  Deidre blew a raspberry at him.

"Well let's go eat, everything is done."  Quatre said, dragging Heero into the kitchen before he could argue with the five year old anymore.

Deidre looked around the room, and spotted Trowa, or more importantly: his hair. "Daddy, can you do that with your hair?"  Duo shook his head.  "Awww..." She pouted.

"Come on, let's go eat." Wufei said.  All of them went through the kitchen to the tables outside.
