The Story of Our Love

Part 13: The Arrival



Relena looked out the window. There was debate going on in the meeting, but she couldn't remember what it was about. Delegate Catalonia was going on and on about something that really wasn't relevant and Delegate Ronstein was feeding into it.

" Well let's ask the one in charge here, shall we? What do you think, Vice Foreign Minister Darlian?" Dorothy asked. Relena's head turned abruptly and she looked bewildered for a second. Then she regained her composure and tried to sit straight, but her basketball belly wouldn't allow it.

" I'm sorry, what did you say, Dorothy?" Relena asked. Dorothy frowned. She knew that she was pregnant, but she begun to become more and more distant.

" Are you feeling alright, Minister Darlian?" Richard (Delegate Ronstein) asked, concern filling his eyes. Relena was not one to slack off in the listening department.

" I'm 9 months pregnant. Sue me. My due date was three days ago. Now, tell me what the hell is wrong with me." Relena said, standing up. Richard just watched her. She walked out abruptly.

In her office, the one and only Heero was awaiting her. An email alert was blinking on the screen.

" You've got mail." He said. Relena held her back and looked menacingly at him.

" I've also got a backache and a hair appointment in..." Relena's eyes widened as a contraction hit her full force. Heero swiveled the chair around to face her. She was gasping and breathing fast.

" Heero, it's the baby." She breathed. Heero picked up the phone.

" Duo get the car ready. Relena and I will be down in five." He hung up and grabbed the bag and Relena screamed. When he finally got downstairs, Duo was waiting out front with the car. He ran around the side and opened the car door.

During the car ride, Relena was screaming all sorts of obscenities at Heero. The only other time he'd heard her cuss this much was at a football game. She breathed hard and then the final thing happened.

" HEERO! My fucking water just broke." She screamed.

" Not on my leather seat!" Duo whined. Heero saved Relena the trouble of sitting up to slap him in the head. He did it himself.

At the hospital, Relena already had a room awaiting her. Hilde had called ahead.

" This is quite possibly the worst pain I have ever felt. Heero, it hurts so much." Relena whined. Heero looked at the doctors as they prepared Relena for the delivery process.

" Is there anything that you can give her to numb the pain?" He asked, his voice a tad uneven. The woman Dr. Sally Po, watched at him as he looked at her nervously.

" There is one thing, but we normally give it to women who want Caesarean sections. Does Relena want a Caesarean?"

" No way. There is no way you're cutting me open. I want to suck this up and take it like a man. Heero, don't worry about me I'll be..." Another ear-piercing scream ensued.

" I think she's ready. Mr. Yuy, do you want to witness?"

" Yes." Heero grabbed Relena's hand.

" Alright. Push, Miss Darlian. Push as hard as you can. Try to set a goal. The pain will subside momentarily." Relena began pushing and using her breathing method. With every push, she would squeeze Heero's hands. It was after the first push that Heero felt the bones in his hand break. He did not let go, though.

" One more, Miss Darlian. This is it." Relena let loose the most horrific, blood-curdling scream yet as she finished birthing her child. Relena sighed. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head as she fell backwards.

" Check her vital signs."

" She's fine, just resting. I'll be right back with your baby. Funny, she's not even crying, but she is breathing. Interesting. Uh, Joy, take care of Heero's hand." Sally said. She noticed it was swelling. The pain finally reached Heero's pain and a delayed groan came from it.

A few minutes later, Relena awoke to find Heero holding a baby.

" This is your baby girl, Relena." Heero handed the child to her. Relena looked at her.

" She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." Relena smiled and kissed her soft forehead.

" Did you name her?" Relena said.

" Yeah. It's long. Diamond Dru Heeray Lena Darlian Yuy." Heero said.

" That is quite long, my good sir. Let's call her Dru."

" Okay. There's also something I've been meaning to ask you." Heero reached in his pocket and pulled out a jewelry box. Relena looked at him as he kneeled on the floor.

" Will you, Relena Darlian, please be my wife?" He asked. Relena started crying right then and there.

" Yes." She smiled and he slipped the ring on her finger.

" It's beautiful." She said. Heero had just made her the luckiest woman in the world and her day was now complete.



AN: Awwwwwww! Ain't that the damn near sweetest thing you ever read in your life? The wedding is next as is the baby trials. Little Dru is going to be one weird girl with her twisted parents.
