The Story of Our Love

Part 11: Payback's A Bitch



Relena walked in her office. She hadn't begun to show, yet. Zechs and Noin had returned from their honeymoon and Noin was pregnant, too. Relena walked over to her.

" I've got some relatively good news, I guess." She said. Noin looked at her. Relena still hadn't decided to wear her hair down. She had on a short, pleated black skirt with boots and a white shirt. Her abdomen showed a little bulge, but not much. The only thing that had increased in size was her breasts and they were becoming very large.

" You've increased in bust size haven't you?" Noin asked wonderingly. Relena smiled.

" I guess. I'm pregnant, just like you. I had to buy new bras." Relena saw someone walk by with a stack of papers. On top was a king sized Snickers. Relena grabbed it and ate it ravenously. Noin watched hungrily.

" That was so good."

" Congratulations, Relena. I've got to give Duo this note." At the sound of Duo's name, Relena remembered something she had pushed from her mind when she was with Heero. She grinned evilly and slunk back to her office.

A month later, it had become painfully obvious the Relena was pregnant. The press conference was just a statement of that fact.

" Vice Foreign Minister Darlian, have you secretly married?" One snide reporter dared to ask. Relena smirked.

" I think that is a way too personal question. When I decide as to what I'm going to do about my life, I think I'll let you know." Relena said and stepped down. She'd never thought of it that way. She wasn't married to Heero and she was having an illegitimate child. After the conference, Heero walked up to her.

" Are you okay?"

" Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little tired. My feet are swelling and it's not a very pretty sight." Relena stood. Her eyes sparkled.

The next day Relena walked in Duo's office. He'd gone to the bathroom and left his milkshake sitting by his desk. Relena looked at the bottle in her hand. She giggled and poured the laxative in the peppermint milkshake. She smiled and left quickly.

Later that day, Relena was eating a footlong hoagie and talking with Heero. They saw Duo dash for the bathroom. Relena kind of choked on a laugh and a piece of banana pepper at the same time.

An hour later, Heero got worried and walked in the bathroom.

" Are you...WHOA! Duo that is horrible!" Heero yelled and left the bathroom quick, fast, and in a hurry. Relena stood outside.

" Did it smell bad?" She asked. Heero gagged for fresh air. Duo finally walked out. He looked hurt.

" Duo, your ass should hurt something serious after a catastrophe like that." Heero said.

" I don't know what happened. It was like someone put a laxative in my food." Relena smirked.

" That's a little far-fetched, isn't it?" Relena said. Duo nodded.

" I guess you're right."

Two weeks later, the brilliant Relena struck again. This time, Duo had a hoagie and she put slugs in the sandwich. Everyone was eating together. Duo took a bite and smiled. Relena looked up and saw him spit it right back out. He opened the sandwich and slugs crawled around everywhere.

" That is so fucking nasty, Duo." Relena said.

" I made it myself. I don't know how slugs got in my damn food. Someone had to have put them there."

" Duo, don't jump to conclusions." Hilde said. Heero was snickering.

" This shit ain't funny." Duo said.

" Actually, I find it hilarious. This is way past funny." Heero said. Duo resisted the urge to throw a slug at him.

The very next week, Relena struck the final time. It was a holiday ice cream party and Duo got Employee of the Year. He got to cut the chocolate ice cream cake. He cut right on the rose. He took a bite of it. It was crunchy. He looked down at the cake and saw roaches crawling around inside.

" YUCK! Who the fuck keeps doing this!?!? Relena and Heero died laughing. Hilde tried to console her boyfriend.

That night, Relena got ready for bed. Heero was already in it.

" I wonder who kept torturing Duo like that." Heero said. Relena looked back at him. " Who cares? The dumbass got what he deserved." Relena said.

" I always knew it was you, Relena. What was it for?"

" He was on suspension, and I never did get my revenge, so I decided to take it. You have to agree with me that he was being a total ass. That is why he got a laxative, roaches, and slugs. Serves him right." Relena said, slipping into her nightie. Heero watched her get into the bed.

" You know, he really was sorry for what he did while you were in the hospital."

" Oh, really. Well, let's just say that I forgive him. But, I still wanted some carnage. I'm not still mad at him, but I still have to uphold my bitch status." Relena rolled over on her back. Heero watched her eat a Twix.

" You are and forever will be hungry, won't you?" Heero smirked. Relena looked at him.

" Hey, it's your child I'm eating for. I never eat this much food." Relena watched as Heero rubbed her swollen abdomen. A thought crossed his mind.

Later that night, Heero opened a jewelry box. It had a diamond engagement ring. The ring had dolphins on it and diamonds adorned it. He looked at the sleeping Relena, then he put it away in his hiding place.

AN: What is with the engagement ring? Stay tuned.
