Disclaimer: I don't own the gundam pilots or their gundams just the girls, their gundams, and a few other original characters.
A.N-Finally I'm doing a sequel to New Pilots even thought I have the new fic out In The End which has the same characters but different descriptions. But for all of you out there who were pushing and prodding like little demonic hellions, I have done that sequel. Okay? Alright, good.
New Pilots 2: Runaway
By: Raven Moonshadow
I wanna run away
Never say good-bye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
[Linkin Park, Runaway]
It's the year AC 201 and peace has been achieved from the gundam guys' and girls fights in the last war. Millardo Peacecraft or Zechs Merquise is no longer a threat to anyone. He has a child and a wife to take care of. Relena Peacecraft is still crippled but goes on as a good will ambassador. Nothing much has changed about her except for her love for Heero Yuy after their last encounter with each other. She still thinks often about him even though she has now found a kind man who cares for her.
What happen to the gundam pilots you ask? Well, your just going to have to read on to find out…
Melody walked up the walkway to the house and absently rubbed her slightly rounded abdomen with a sigh. It had been almost a year and a half since the war had ended and she really didn't know what to do. Half the time she spent it with a Quatre, her sweet husband, and the other with her friends. But she had become worried.
Three of her friends hadn't been heard from since a few months ago and she had no idea of where they were or if they just didn't want to be found. That was why she was going to see her remaining friend today. To ask if she had seen any of the others.
The orange haired girl stopped at the door and rung the door bell. She waited and wrapped her arms around herself as a chilly wind passed. Yeah of course her friend had to live in a colder climate that she was used to. Oh well. No one came to the door.
Melody blinked and then whimpered. No please be home. She said mentally. Now she wished that she had her sweater. The blue eyed girl hadn't expected to be waiting outside. She had just talked to her friend yesterday. Why wasn't she here?
Hesitantly she brought a fist up and knocked on the wooden door. Again there was no answer. She made a face. She pulled her fist up to punch the door and let it fly…
…and at that same moment the door opened.
Melody didn't quite know what happened. All she knew was that she had gotten ready to punch the door and a second later her fist had made contact with something solid but not quite as solid as a door. She looked around. Well, the door was open now.
That was a good sign…wasn't it?
She took a step forward, stopped, and looked down. Now she knew why the door was opened. She laughed nervously.
Duo was out cold on the floor with a red mark on his forehead and in the middle of that mark was an imprint of her wedding ring. On the floor a few feet away, a one and a half year-old Derek played happily with his unconscious father's braid.
Melody stepped over Duo and shut the door. She shook off the cold and soaked in the warmth of the house. The orange haired girl looked around. Everything was nice and home-like. It was a decent house.
"Max?" Melody called out. "Are ya here?"
"I'm in here Mel." Came the raven haired girls reply from another room. Melody smiled picked up Derek and walked to the room.
It was a study with tons of books. All of them were most likely Max's. The woman in question looked up from the book she was reading by the fire place in a big comfy chair.
"Konnichiwa Mel-chan." Max put down the book and got up to straiten her clothes. Her long black curly hair was tied back in a braided pony-tail. It was a new look but it looked good. "So what can I do for you?" Max asked.
"Well I came to see you, isn't it obvious?"
Max smiled. "It's not like we've seen each other in a while."
"I know, you don't have to tell me. But what I meant is that we haven't seen each other in person for a while. So how have you been." Melody still spoke with a slight Australian accent but it was hidden pretty well.
"Well thank you. How about you, Mel, anything interesting happen at the Winner household I mean mansion?" Max asked. Melody giggled and rubbed her abdomen again for Max. The 21-year-old gasped. "No way, again Melody?" Melody nodded. Max rubbed her head. "Jeeze Mel. You and Quatre are like rabbits. This is the second one and didn't you just have the other baby a few months ago?"
"Yeah well Quatre likes children."
"I can tell."
"Watch it. So what about you and Duo? Anything happening that I should know?" Melody asked.
"Nothing like the two of you guys have for news. By the way…where is that husband of mine?" Max said looking around. Max looked down. There was Derek tugging on her pant leg trying to stand. Melody giggled nervously again.
"Um…he's kind of out cold. I kind of hit him by accident. Hehehe." Max's eye twitched. Melody took a step back. "I'm really sorry. But I swear it was an accident." Melody said waving her hands frantically in front of her. Max began stalking towards the Australian woman but was stopped.
Derek began crying. He wanted to be held probably. Max growled and looked at Melody.
"You got lucky Mel but don't ever hit my lunk-head of a husband ever again."
"I don't know if I should be happy or insulted." Duo said coming into the room rubbing his forehead. "I have to say one thing to Quatre's wife myself babe." He turned to Melody. "You have one HELL of a right hook." He winked and turned to Max and Derek. Melody let out her breath.
He picked up Derek and soothed the baby. There was a knock from the front door. Duo smiled and them before leaving the room. They heard the door open and then…
"Q-man what cha doing here?" He sounded pretty happy. "You're looking for your wife. She's in the other room with Max. Say he's a cutie, isn't that right Q-junior?" He sounded like he was baby talking Melody and Quatre's son. Melody giggled. Duo re-entered the room with Quatre right behind him holding their blonde-haired son. Melody smiled at Quatre.
"Hey, love."
"Hello Kat. And how is my little baby doing?" She asked picking 4-month-old out of Quatre's arms. She hugged him.
Quatre sat down with Duo on the couch. Max walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?" The Australian asked. Max looked back at her before exiting the room.
"To get some snacks and tea for while we're chatting."
*********
"Well Max it's been fun talking to you but I must tell you the real reason that Quatre and I are here."
"Hm…?" Max looked up from her tea as she took a sip. Duo leaned forward with his elbow on his knee and his cheek in his hand. Derek was sleeping on the couch next to him.
"We came here to ask you if you've seen Kamori, Morgaine, or Irene recently. Or at least heard from them?" Quatre asked. Melody nodded.
"Quatre and I haven't seen them since Victor was born. Then they kind of vanished, in my opinion." Melody said. Max shook her head. So did Duo.
"Duo and I haven't seen Kamori, Morgaine, or Irene since Victor was born."
"Yes. I remember them at the hospital with us but a few days later when I went to Kamori's apartment there was no one there. Kamori and Irene's stuff was all gone. I tried calling Morgaine to see what was going on but someone I didn't know picked up and said that the young lady by that name had moved out of the that apartment."
"I see." Max said leaning back. "Well…did you sense anything was wrong when we last saw them?"
"No I was in too much pain during labor and delivery to use my power."
"Hm…" Max looked over at the telephone on the table. It floated over to her and she grabbed it mid air. "Have you tried Morgaine's cell phone?"
"No I didn't know it." Melody answered. Max dialed a few numbers quickly and put the phone to her ear.
***************
Ring. Ring. Ring.
Morgaine looked down at her cell phone as it vibrated in her hand. She was just about to call the hospital to tell them that she was on her way. She flipped it open. There on the screen was the ID of D. Maxwell.
Maxine was trying to call her. Only Maxine knew her cell number.
She closed it and put it in her pocket. No time for talking. Kamori needed her. Besides, no one was supposed to find them. Maxine would be able to trace the call.
Morgaine got into her car and drove off toward the hospital. There was a patient there for her.
**************
Maxine slammed the phone down.
"Damn it! She's not answering. Morgaine obviously doesn't want to be found."
"What about Kamori or Irene?"
"They both changed there numbers. I tried to call Kamori once to get her to baby-sit and it said that the number of the person you are trying to call has been changed. Then I tried Irene and the same thing happened." Maxine said angrily.
Melody sighed. "Maybe we can ask Heero or Trowa or Wufei if they have seen any of the girls. And if they haven't then we'll have Heero track them down. He's good at that sort of thing."
They all nodded.
"I'll call them up now." Quatre said whipping out his handy dandy cell phone.
**************
Morgaine skidded into the parking lot of the hospital and parked as quickly as she could. She entered the building and as she headed straight for the front desk the blue haired girl, Irene, intercepted her.
"Oh my god, Morgaine. It's horrible. Kamori looked like she was in so much pain. Is she going to be alright? Is she?" Irene was talking a mile a minute. Morgaine shushed her.
"Where is Kamori?"
"They just transferred her from the labor room to the delivery room. They won't let us in. I hate those stupid doctors. I wanna help her!" the violet eyed young woman whined.
"They won't let us in?"
"Yeah."
"I'll change that."
"Morgaine, I don't want us to get in trouble."
"Fine. We'll wait."
Irene whimpered. They took a seat it the waiting room and well…waited. Suddenly Irene looked up at Morgaine.
"Is Kamori going to survive?"
"Gee…I don't know, Irene. She's pushing something the size of a watermelon out of a hole the size of a penny." Morgaine replied sarcastically. Irene made a face.
"That is more than I needed to know. Especially with the way you put that."
"Fine…she's pushing a baby out of a hole that doesn't look capable of fitting it through." Morgaine said, again sarcastically. Irene put her hands to her face.
"Eww…that is not something I want to think about. Your nasty."
"No I'm stating a fact."
"That's even worse!"
"You wanted to know."
"You didn't have to tell me it that way!"
"What other way is there?!"
"Stop yelling at me!"
"I'm not yelling, your yelling!"
"Because your yelling at me!"
"Ladies quiet down this is a hospital." A nurse said. Morgaine and Irene looked up at her with a glare.
"Be quiet, we didn't ask you!" They yelled at the same time. The nurse blinked and all the people in the waiting room looked up at them. They both looked at each other and laughed nervously.
"Sorry 'bout that." Irene said quietly, sinking into her chair in an embarrassed way. Morgaine looked around the room and gave everyone a glare who had stared at them. The blonde then stood. "Where are you going, Morgaine?" Irene asked quietly.
"To get something to drink. All this yelled has given me a sore throat."
Irene's mouth formed a large 'O' before she nodded.
"Bring me back something, okay."
"Sure."
[Four hours later…]
"I think something's wrong. Max wasn't in labor this long and Melody was only I labor for an hour."
"I think something's wrong too. This is way to long for a baby to be delivered."
Irene was pacing in front of Morgaine worriedly and Morgaine was counting how many times she paced. Back and forth, back and forth. Morgaine blinked.
"That's it. I'm finding out what happened in there." Morgaine stood abruptly. She stalked out of the room and grabbed the first doctor she could find. He looked down at her.
"Let go of me Miss." He said trying to get out of her grip. She shook him.
"What do you know of a patient named Kamori McHawkings?" She yelled at him. He blinked.
"I was just heading there. They need assistance."
"Why?" Morgaine growled.
"I shouldn't be telling you anything."
"Just tell me I'm a close friend of hers and I'm worried sick."
"Well…" She growled at him and glared.
"There were some complications with Miss. McHawkings pregnancy. There is a good chance that she will miscarry or…"
"Or what?"
"There is a good chance that she could die. We don't believe that there is any chance of the child surviving."
Morgaine let go of the doctor and stalked away, past the waiting room and out the entrance. Irene followed.
The blue haired girl found the blonde punching holes into the side of the building while hissing the most fowl words ever to be spoken from a woman. To put it bluntly, words that would make the manliest of sailors cry. Irene approached the blonde carefully. With a slight touch of Morgaine's shoulder she ducked the punch that came at her.
"Morgaine calm down. What's going on?" Irene asked. "Is Kamori alright?"
Morgaine refused to answer. She just began punching more holes into the building. Irene tilted her head to the side.
"Morgaine, please tell me, what's going on?" Irene asked worriedly. Was Kamori hurt? Dieing? God she hoped not. But, and there is always a but, if she was hurt or dieing she would make the sorry SOB who did this to Kamori sorry. Irene slid down the wall next to Morgaine's angry punches and leaned back.
"There were…"
Irene looked up at Morgaine as she stopped pulverizing the wall and spoke. Her bangs hid her eyes but Irene could smell the salty smell of tears.
"There were complications with Kamori's pregnancy. They don't think that she or the baby will live." Morgaine said before turning away. Her shoulders shook in the effort to stop crying. Irene's eyes watered over too and soon she began to cry.
"This…this is so not…cool. Kamori is my best friend. We've always been friends. We promised each other that we would always stay friends through thick and thin and now…she might die from pregnancy. She's only 20 for gods sake!" Irene pounded her fist into the ground. "I swear by every breath in my lungs that I will kill Trowa Barton for getting her pregnant. And if she dies…well then I'll just have to torture him painfully before I kill him." The blue haired American said before putting her head between her knees to hide her face.
"Same here." Morgaine said sliding down next to her. Irene leaned her head on Morgaine's shoulder.
"I don't know. I think I would want all the glory in killing him."
"Then I'll torture him and you can kill him."
Irene giggled painfully. "Fine."
**************
"Excuse me, ladies."
Irene and Morgaine looked up through blurry eyes at a young doctor. He looked down at his clip board.
"Are you the friends of a Miss. Kamori McHawkings?" Both girls nodded. "Good. Follow me. I must go over a few details with you concerning Miss. McHawkings." Irene dreaded the news he might bring to her ears. Morgaine on the other hand got up and fixed herself the best emotionless face she could. Irene got up slowly behind her. The doctor nodded. "Right this way."
He led them through the hospital and up the elevator in silence. Finally he stopped in front of a room and pushed the door open. They all stepped in. Irene let out a whimper.
There on the bed was Kamori, pale and sweat covered, taking pained breaths while in her sleep.
"Is she going to be okay?" Irene turned to the doctor with watery eyes. The doctor hesitantly nodded.
"She should be but we have her on some pain killers and she should be asleep for awhile. We're going to keep her here longer then usual patients to monitor her. She went through a very painful labor."
"Did her child survive?" Morgaine asked keeping herself calm and unemotional.
"Surprisingly one child did survive but the other twin died."
"SHE WAS HAVING TWINS?!" Morgaine and Irene shouted at the same time.
"Please calm down. Apparently the female twin had been hidden behind the male twin during her ultrasounds so she also thought that she was having one male baby."
"So which twin survived?" Irene asked.
"The female one. Miss. McHawkings had a healthy baby girl that she named…" He looked down at his clip board. "…Tamora Kelly McHawkings."
"I always knew that we females were the stronger species." Irene whispered under her breath. Morgaine smiled.
"Kamori will be out for a little while so you two should get some sleep. We promise to take good care of this young woman."
The two girls shook their heads.
"No we would rather stay here with her."
"Fine. The nurseries are down the hall and to the left and you probably already know where the food court is." When both women nodded he smiled at them and then left. They sat down. Suddenly Irene's hand shot up into the air.
"What is it Irene?"
"I just have one question, where the hell did Kamori come up with a name like Tamora?"

Raven: Ha! I came up with a sequel to new pilots. It's crappy though. But, I might add more to this story if I get reviews because you all know how much I like reviews. Besides there is a lot that could be added into the story like lets say, if the other gundam pilots find Morgaine, Irene, and Kamori. Or what Tamora will be like? I can think of lots of stuff but only if I get reviews. Okies? Bub bye.
