Going home

Day's turned into weeks. Weeks turned into well about a month. Finnally, Heero was going home. It was strange to him, but he actually missed his friends and Relena. As he finished putting his last shirt into the suitcase, and packed up his laptop, he took one last look at his extremely small apartment. Then, he was out the door to the airport.

The airport was extremely crowded. After finding his gate, he went to get something to eat. While he was eating, he lost track of the time. As he ran back to his gate, he yelled for someone to hold up the plane. Lucky for him, the stewardess heard him. He made it just in time.

The flight was somewhat boring. Nothing to do but sleep. He was still allitle sore from the mishap a few weeks ago. So, he sat and thought for a bit. He had spoken to Duo a few times before he left. He was told that Relena was in a coma and he wondered if he would make to her in time.

A few hours later, Heero's plane landed. Once he was off the plane, he went to call Duo, who was going to pick him up. He found a payphone and called Duo's cell.

"Hello?" the voice on the other end said.

" Duo. It's me"

"Heero 'ol buddy! You back already?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. I'll be there in about 45 minutes."

"Fine. Hey. How's Relena?"

"She's slowly coming out of the coma, but nothing major."

"Alright. I'll see you later. Bye." Heero said as he hung up the phone.

After Heero got off the phone, he went to get his suitcase. Then, he decided to get something to eat. After he finished he went outside to wait for Duo.

~15 minutes later~

Duo came up the ramp in his new sports car. Heero didn't recognize him at first, so he blew the horn. When Heero noticed him, he went over to see his friend.

"Hey! We've missed you. How you been!"

"Fine. Let's just go."

"Sure. So…how was your flight?" An excited Duo asked.

"Boring."

Then there was silence the rest of the way to the peacecraft mansion.

After Heero had settled in and unpacked, he asked to see Relena right away. Duo told him to rest a bit and they would go tomorrow, but Heero declined.

When they got to the hospital, Heero was greeted by his friends. Even Zechs was alittle glad to see him.

Immediately after saying his hellos, Heero went to see Relena. He couldn't bare seeing Relena hooked up to all those monitors. She looked horrible. Although, he was told she looked better than she did before.

Heero sat in the by Relena's bed and held her hand. He caressed her hands and kissed them. Heero turned around when he heard the door, but then turned his attention back to Relena. He pushed her hair out of her face and kissed her pale lips.

For the first time in his life, he cried. He wanted to Wisk her away. Take her away forever. But she was trapped in a hospital bed. As it became later, the others left. They tried to convince Heero to go too, but he refused. That night, he stayed with Relena.

In the morning, Heero woke to the sound of the door opening. Duo came in and was now right behind him. Duo put a hand on his shoulder.

"Sleep well?" Duo asked.

"Hn." Heero replied.

"Doctors came in while you were asleep. I think your getting alittle rusty. Huh? Don't know how you sleep like that. It can't be comfortable." Duo said referring to how Heero was sitting in the chair.

"You should get something to eat buddy."

"Hn"

"Come on Heero. Go on. I'll stay here."

Heero then got up and left to get something to eat. When he entered the small café, he was greeted by the rest of his friends. They ate and exchanged stories. Then, they went upstairs to see Relena. The day went by slowly. The usual parade of doctors and nurses came in throughout the day. It was rather quiet.

As the day turned into night, the others had finally left. Heero had again stayed with Relena. Heero became hungry, so he went to the nearest vending machine. He squeezed Relena's hand to let her know he would be back. He smiled when he felt her return the gesture.

When he returned, nothing had changed. Duo had requested they put a cot in there for Heero to sleep on, so that's where he was. He moved the small cot to as close to Relena as he could. Slowly, he fell asleep with Relena's hand in his own.

~Dream~

It was dark. Heero was in bed. A very strange bed. He was very confused. When he rolled over, he saw an angel beside him. He passed his hand threw her hair. It was soft.

Then, the angel woke from her sleep. She stared at him and then smiled.

"What's wrong? You alright?"

Heero didn't answer.

"Heero? You okay?"

"Yeah. I'm fine."

It was silent until Heero said to his angel, "Relena. I love you."

" I love you too and so does your daughter." She then kissed him and laid back down. Heero fell asleep again, only to awake to the sound of monitor's beeping.

~End dream~

When Heero woke up, monitors were beeping. The doctors ran into the room. Heero was shoved out the door.

Duo was there waiting for him. Heero didn't know what was going on, until Duo told him that Relena had gone into cardiac arrest.

Heero was extremely worried. Duo forced him downstairs. He sat there in silence with his face in his hand. Just then, Duo came back downstairs.
