Chapter 8
"Well,thank you Trowa for just about getting me killed. I did not appreciate that."
"Well,it's the only thing I could do from keeping Heero to kill you. You should be lucky you're still alive!
"Will you two just please stop and just get on with it?"asked Quatre. "You both have good points,but can you please save it for later?"
"Sure. I'm sorry Quatre."
"I'm sorry too Quatre,"said Duo. "I wonder where he went anyways."
"Probably to work."
"Do you think he'll be back? I mean,not that it's any of my business."
"He probably will Duo."
"I got some exciting news for you guys."
"What is it Duo?!"Quatre asked,kinda surprised.
"I'm proposing to Hilde tonight."
"Oh Duo! That's wonderful!"
"Congratulations Duo!"said Trowa.
"Thanks guys. Yep...I got her the ring and everything. And I'm gonna ask her tonight at dinner."
"But where did you get the ring?"
"A jewelry store silly. I have enough money to get something that was actually pretty expensive."
"Oh,right! I'm sorry. I should've known. So do you guys know when you'll be getting married?"
"Trowa...people usually decide after the man proposes to the woman."
"Oh,I'm sorry. I should've known that too. I guess my head hasn't been where to should be for the last 3 weeks."
"It's alright. It's all good. I need to be leaving soon anyways. C- ya guys!"and he left the house.
It had been two days since Duo left. But there was still no word from him and Quatre was starting to get a little bit worried and mad.
"I just wish he would tell us if she said yes or no,"said Quatre.
"I bet she said yes Quatre. That's probably why he's taking so long,"said Trowa. "I wouldn't worry about it. We're all living different and seperate lives now. Duo'll call us when he wants too. He's probably having to get his shedule and planning ready for the wedding."but then something strange happened. It was a cry of a baby. But it wasn't coming from Quatre's room. It was coming from...Trowa's!
"Trowa,that doesn't happen to be Violet's voice,does it?"
"Ummmm...."
"Stop hiding stuff from me Trowa. Please, just tell me what it is."
"Come with me,"he grabbed Quatre's hand and they ran upstairs.
"Oh my god Trowa! She's beautiful!"Quatre said suprised and Trowa showed him the baby that he had found and be hiding under his bed. "But why did you keep her hidden?"
"Because I didn't want to make the work any harder for you guys. Especially Heero."
"Well,what's her name?"
"Her name is Midii."
"That's such a beautiful name Trowa. But where did you find her?"
"I found her by the house about 4 days ago. Everyone was sleeping so I though I'd take her in."
"But who would do such a thing?!"
"I have no idea Quatre. I have no idea."
"It's alright Trowa. At least she has someone to care for her."
"Thanks Quatre. But can I ask you something?"
"Sure! You can ask me anything!"
"Thanks. Do you mind helping me? I mean,helping me to take care of her?"
"I would love to Trowa. That wouldn't be a probably."
"Thanks Quatre."
"HELLO!! DOES ANYONE KNOW I'M HERE?!"it was Duo,on the screen.
"Duo! You finally called!"said an excited Quatre.
"Why wouldn't I? I'm sorry I took so long. Hilde and I had a hell of a time trying to find when we were going to have the wedding."
"Just as Trowa predicted. So,she said yes,I'm guessing?"
"Oh,why wouldn't she? She's loved me ever since the day she met me."
He laughed. "I guess you're right. So,when is the wedding?"
"October 21st. About 3 months and 4 days from now. So put is on your calander."
"I wouldn't forget! I'll tell Trowa too."
"Good. Do you mind if I talk to him?"
"I wouldn't mind it at all Duo. I bet he would be happy to hear from you. Hang on,"and he left the room. "Hey Trowa! Duo wants to talk to you!
"Can you do me a favor?"he asked.
"Sure!"
"Take care of Midii for me, just for a while,ok?"
"I'd be glad to Trowa."
"Thank you Quatre,"and he left the room.
Quatre looked at Midii. Her face is just so beautiful,he thought. Who would do such a thing? I just wish that people would stop trying to kill their children and leaving them on the streets to rot. It's just like hell these days. Trowa and I found 2 beautiful children by the house and a riverbank and the parents are not even doing anything about it. Well,we had to kill Violet's father. But what about Midii's mother and father? Are they going to come back for her,and then we have to kill them too? This is just bullshit. He looked at Midii again. Her eyes had finally opened and were staying at Quatre. Those beautiful eyes,he thought. They almost look like Trowa's.
"Quatre! Duo would like to talk to you again,"Trowa said as he ran upstairs. "She's up and hasn't made a sound. Wow. This is going to be easy to raise her. Thank you so much Quatre."
"It's not a problem Trowa. I'm just glad to be of service."
"And I thank you for that."
"Well,I'll go and talk to Duo. I'll be back in a little while Trowa,"and he left the room.
"So Trowa found a baby this time?"Duo asked.
"How did you know?"
"He told me. I guess he isn't as shy as I thought."
"Trowa's never shy anymore. Well,sometimes at least."
"Ya got that right. So,does Heero know about Trowa's news?"
"No. You've been the first one to call us in about 3 days."
"Oh. No call from Heero? That seems wierd. I guess he's been busy at school. Don't push him or you'll probably just get on his bad side. He'll call you when he's got the time. Don't worry about it."
"I know. I kinda figured that too. I'm not worrying about it. I just wish you guys would call us more often."
"Well,ya know what Wufei is doing,so I wouldn't expect a call from him any time soon!"
"Yeah,I see your point there."
"So how's Violet?"
"She's alright. She happy that I'm back on my feet and that I can help her and stuff. I don't know much about children,so you'll have to forgive me for saying that!"
He laughed. "I know. None of us know anything about kids Quatre. But just remember one thing: That's what we were once. Little kids roaming the streets or living at home. Some of us just made and fought in mobile suits. But we were still children. And that doesn't change anything."
"Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm just really speechless. I have to leave Wednesday for another meeting,so do you mind watching Violet for me?"
"I would not mind at all. Actually,I'd love too. I'll bring Hilde with me. Is that ok?"
"That's fine! She's a girl so that would be easy for Hilde."
"For Hilde,anything is easy. I'm really sorry that I'm changing the subject,but did huh....did Trowa tell you were he found the baby?"
"No. He's just had it with him upstairs. I keep wondering how she's been living here. Especially since Trowa's been keeping her under a blanket."
"Yeah,I know. That would be very difficult. Well buddy,I have to go. Hilde's going to get home soon and I need to tell her what you told me."
"That's ok. I need to talk to Trowa anyways."
"Well,that makes us even then."
"Yeah. I guess so."
"Well,c-ya later Quatre."
"Bye Duo!"and the screen clicked off.
"So,how is Duo doing?"Trowa asked as Quatre came into the kitchen.
"He's doing fine. I asked him to do a favor for me."
"What?
"I asked to tell Hilde to take care of the girls. Well,especially when we're out in a battle."
"You do have a good point there. But what did Duo say about that?"
"He said it was fine."
"Good. Then I think it's a fine idea."
He smiled. "Thank you Trowa."
"No problem. Was Duo excited that I...well...you know what I mean."
"He was very nice about it. But I don't really think excited is the word. But he was happy though."
"Knowing him. But I wonder how Heero's going to take the news of this."
"I wouldn't worry about it. He was very nice to me when I told them I found Violet."
"Yeah. But that was about 3 months ago Quatre. Things could've changed."
"Well,I hope not."
"Me niether. But he'll know what I'll do if he tries to kill any of us."
"Oh Trowa. Thing's will be just fine. He's not going to try to kill any of us."
Trowa sat down is chair,exhausted. "I know. I'm sorry Quatre. I guess I should been thinking of what I told you. Like,not to worry."
"I know how hard it is Trowa. But think about how many people have come to help us. Even Heero will. I just know it."
"I hope you're right. I just hope that no one tries to declare war on us. I don't want to be figthing at a bad time."
"Neither do I Trowa...neither do I. But I think that everything will be fine. I'm just glad that we have someone who wants to help us."
"Oh. Duo? Yeah,I'm glad about that too. But yet,he's about to get married."
"And I wonder how that's going to go."
"Well,we are invited. So we should know."
"Yeah. You do have a point there."
"Are you still worried about Heero knowing about Midii?"
"No. Why?"
"I can see it in your eyes."
"Oh. Alright. Yes,I am very scared. I just can't seem to get it out of my head."
"Yeah,but remember they way he acted when I told him about Violet?"he asked again.
"Yeah,but I just don't know if he'll....wait a sec...didn't we already talk about this subject?"
"Ummmm...yes."
He couldn't do anything but laugh. "I guess time really flies when you're talking to someone else."
"I guess so!"
"Hey Quatre?"
"Yes Trowa?"
"Did Duo say anything about Heero finding out about Midii?"
"Oh Trowa! I promise that Heero will like Midii. I think you just have to think of something else for a while. I don't want you to keep thinking about this anymore."'
He sat down in his chair with exhaust. "I'm sorry Quatre. I'll try to think of something else for a while."
"Good,"but their conversation was interrupted by the sound of crying. It was Midii and Violet.
"Well,I guess that kinda ruined it! Well,let's go Trowa!"
"Coming Quatre,"and they went upstairs to take care of Midii and Violet.
"Well,thank you Trowa for just about getting me killed. I did not appreciate that."
"Well,it's the only thing I could do from keeping Heero to kill you. You should be lucky you're still alive!
"Will you two just please stop and just get on with it?"asked Quatre. "You both have good points,but can you please save it for later?"
