Chapter 2
Trowa and Quatre never heard back from Duo that day. They weren't surprised though. They knew the other gundam pilots had to get ready too. It was a good thing they were out of the shed by the time the girls got home. But Violet knew that something wrong. Please don't tell me that you know too Violet,though Quatre. I don't want you and Midii getting involved. This might get serious.
The girls didn't say anything during dinner,or when they went to bed. Quatre and Trowa were happy too. They knew that if the got the girls involved,it would probably be the end of the world for them. For all of them.
The next morning wasn't any different. The girls didn't know anything and that was good. The good thing was that Duo had finally called.
"Did you call Heero?"asked Quatre.
"Yeah I got him,"said Duo.
"That's good."
"How about Wufei?"asked Trowa.
"Hang on! I can only do so much!"said Duo. "Heero still hasn't called me back. I asked to see if he would find Wufei."
"Right. Alright then. Thanks anyways."
"I wouldn't worry about it. Wufei loves to work alone. He doesn't have to call back right away."
"Yes,but Quatre and I are really worried about this Duo. And I think you should be too. Have you got anymore information on the person who is starting the war?"
"Nope. Nothing."
"Oh."
"Wait a sec! I just got an e-mail."
"What is Duo?"
"It's from Heero..."he paused.
"Speak of the devil. He's found Wufei."
"Good for him. I guess we're ready then."
"Hold your horses! He's also informed me that Noin's going to fight with us."
Quatre turned to Trowa. "Are you sure that's necessary Trowa?"
"If Noin wants to fight with us that's fine. Can you send Heero back and tell him it's alright if Noin fights with us Duo?"asked Trowa.
"That's fine with me. I'll do it after we talk,"he said.
"That's fine then."
"Have you told the girls yet?"
"No. We don't think we should tell them. At least no yet anyways."
"Well,there isn't really much time left."
"What do you mean Duo?"asked Quatre.
"We are going into battle soon. It would be a good thing if they knew what was going on so they don't freak out."
"Duo does have a point Quatre,"said Trowa.
"But are you sure we should do that Trowa?"asked Quatre.
"We'll talk about that later."
"You guys can talk about it in a sec. I need to get out of here so I can help Hilde. C-ya guys!"and the screen clicked off.
Quatre pushed back the chair and sat on the windowsill. "Trowa,I don't want the girls getting involved in this. What if Violet tries to get into a mobile suit and fights with us?"asked Quatre
"Quatre,I think she understands that piloting a mobile suit is not a game. We've been through this before,"said Trowa.
"Yes,I know that Trowa. But I still don't trust her."
He sighed. "I understand what you're trying to get at Quatre,but we have to tell them sooner or later. The girls will understand. They always have."
"Alright. I guess we don't really have a choice. I just wanted this peace to really last us the rest of our lives. But I guess I was wrong. We were all wrong."
"No Quatre. The peace will come if we fight for it. Just like we always have."
"Oh Trowa..."
"I need to go out into the shed and get some explosives into Heavyarms. Do you want to come with me or stay here?"
"I'll come with you. Sandrock isn't completed yet."
"That's fine. Well,let's go then,"and the two headed for the shed.
Trowa and Quatre worked for nearly two hours on their gundams. They had still decided on keeping this a secret to the girls. But Trowa wasn't so sure about that. They're going to find out soon,he thought. What's wrong with me? I'm usually a lot braver than this. I need to tell Quatre that we need to tell the girls about the war. They're sure to find out about it sooner or later. Violet is going to be fine. I know how Quatre can be sometimes though. But he needs to show his bravery. He wasn't like this until he found Violet. Even though the times have changed,people shouldn't. Even though there are going to be some battles,people need to stop worrying about them so much and go on with their lives. Some people just haven't figured that out yet. I wish we could though. But we can't because we are the soldiers who help protect the people. It's our job. No one else wants to do,so we do it instead. In ways I'm glad for that. I'm tired of people getting hurt or killed. The problem is that very few people care about us. Why? Because they don't want to fight or they were from OZ or the White Fang. We need to show those people that OZ and the White Fang are over. This is not the past anymore. This is the future. And we need to make sure that the future isn't wasted by battles or wars. That's our job. Everyone's job.
Trowa and Quatre completed their gundams around 2:00. It would be a while until the girls got home,so they decided to just relax for an hour. No one called that after. Good thing too because Trowa wanted to talk to Quatre.
"Quatre,we need to talk,"said Trowa.
"About what Trowa?"he asked.
"About the war Quatre. I think..."he paused.
"Go on."
"I think we should still the girls about the war Quatre."
"What?!"
"Quatre,I think you're being a little over-protective of Violet. I think she knows now that piloting a mobile suit is not fun. But the girls are going to find out sooner or later,and if they have no idea what's going on,they're going to get mad at us. And I know you don't want that to happen Quatre. So,do you agree with me?"
"But what if this is a long war Trowa?"
"That doesn't answer my question Quatre. Do you agree with me?"
He sighed. "I guess you do have a point. I guess we could tell them."
"Good. This isn't going to be any different from any other battle we've had to fight.
Quatre glared out the window,waiting for the girls to come home. It had been exactly an hour since the two gundam pilots had finished working on their gundams.
"Trowa,shouldn't the girls be home by now?"he asked.
"It's only 3:15 Quatre. They'll be home soon. Don't worry about it. I haven't forgotten."
That's not what I'm worried about,he thought. I'm worried about the fact there's gonna be another war and that we have to fight again. I just we knew the person who was starting the war.If he was from OZ or the White Fang he wouldn't've done this.It just isn't fair and it isn't right.

The girls arrived home 15 minutes later. Quatre sat on his bed and watched as the girls got of the bus and started walking home. Trowa's right,he thought. This isn't any different from any otther battle we've fought in the past year. But then again...what if it is? I just hope the girls understand about what we have to go through to bring peace to the people.
Trowa and Quatre decided that they would tell the girls about the "new war" later that night after dinner. The two were starting to have doubts that Wufei was coming to fight with them because Duo never called them back. But they knew what they had to do. Leave the other gundam pilots alone until they call you. People were always busy these days, and they knew it. They were busy too. Especially with trying to handle the girls,and having to same people in the colonies and the Earth from getting hurt or killed.
They hated to admit it,but this stuff was nothing different from when the time that they were really young(about 7 or 8 years old). They knew that piloting a gundam wasn't great. It was like hell. But if the future was going to be like hell,they were the only people who could do anything. Even it meant sacraficing your own comrade's life.
Dinner was very quiet,like usual. But Quatre couldn't wait anymore,so he decided to break the news to the girls a little bit earlier than planned.
"Another war?"asked Violet after Quatre told them about what happened. "How many stupid people are out there in the universe today?"
"A lot Violet. And that's why we have to stop them,"said Quatre.
The conversation raged on for about an hour or so. But then the girls got tired and decided that they had done enough talking for the day,and went to bed.
"Dad,can you sing to me like you used to when I was little?"Violet asked before she went to sleep?
"Sure Violet."

Quatre looked over to see if Violet was asleep. Sure enough,she was. "'Night Little One,"he bent over,kissed her forehead,and left the room.
When he got downstairs he found Trowa sitting in his chair,reading over same mail that had arrived. "What is it Trowa?"
"Oh nothing Quatre. Just some junk we got in the mail. Do you mind if I got out into the shed and work on Heavyarms a bit?"
"Not at all. Go ahead."
"Thanks Quatre."
"Hey Trowa...."he paused.
"Yes Quatre?"
"Did Duo happen to call while I was putting Violet to bed?"
"No he didn't Quatre. Why?"
"Oh,no reason. Just wondering."
He sighed. "Just give him a day or two Quatre. Everything's going to be fine."
He nodded and the two went about their business. But Quatre knew something wasn't right. Duo wouldn't take this long to call us,he thought. Even if Hilde was expecting a baby. This just isn't him.
But soon enough,Quatre got his luck. Duo called. "Hey Quatre! Long time no see!"said the familiar,cheerful voice.
"Duo! Well,it has been a while. Where've you been?"
"I've been taking care of Hilde. She hasn't been feeling really god."
"Oh,I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it. Hey,is Trowa there?"
"No he's not. He went out to the shed to work on his gundam."
"Hmm. Makes sense. That's fine then."
"Have you been able to talk to Heero or Wufei lately?"
"Nah. I haven't had time."
"I figured. Hey,have you gotten anymore information yet?"
"Actually...yes I have."
"Oh good! What is it?"
"Well,they haven't exactly found out who's starting the war."
"Oh."
"But,there is some good news. The Alliance is going to send in some back up...if we need it."
"No."
"What?"
"Absolutely not Duo. I thought we said that we didn't want anymore people having to try to kill themselves."
"Yeah but--!"
"No buts Duo."
"Quatre,we can't turn this people down or they might try to be on the side of the person who is starting the war. I didn't ask them Quatre...they kinda volunteered."
He sighed. "Well...I guess you're right Duo."
"Great."
"So,how is Hilde doing?I mean,I know she's sick and all- -."
"I know what you mean Quatre. It's alright. She wishes that she was back and work and all. She's thinking that I should take her to the hospital soon."
"And?"
"I'm not going to do that until November. I can't go and lie to the doctors. You remember what I said about 8 years ago. I may run and hide,but I never tell a lie. And I can't."
"That seems fair. What does Hilde think about that?"
"She hates it,but she's starting to get over it."
"That's good."
"I'm a little worried about her though. She might go into labor while I'm gone,and what am I supposed to do? I'm not good with this kind of stuff Quatre."
"Have you called Relena?"
"Nah. I want to live her and Heero alone. It seems like the best thing."
"Well,I think you should give them a call. Even if they like it or not. It would be the best thing for Hilde and the baby."
"Alright. Thanks Quatre."
"Don't mention it Duo."
"I just hope they say yes."
"Duo,you know they will. Relena and Hilde are really good friends. And if Hilde was in a situation like this,they couldn't possibly say no."
He sighed. "I guess you're right. Just one more thing Quatre."
"Yes?"
"Is Trowa back?"
"No. Not yet. I'd better go and see if everything's alright. Is that ok with you?"
"That's fine with me Quatre."
"Alright. Thank you Duo."
"No problem Quatre,"and the screen clicked off.
Quatre then grabbed his coat,and hurried out to the shed.
Quatre found Trowa still in the shed,but not working on his gundam. Trowa was just standing there,staring at Heavyarms.
"Trowa,you alright?"
"Oh Quatre! You scared me,"Trowa said in shock.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to see what you were up to. I was starting to get worried because you've stayed in here for almost 2 hours."
"I have? Well,time flies."
"You're right about that. Duo called."
"He did? That's good. How's Hilde?"
"Not so good. She's is so much pain and she had to quit going to work. She also keeps telling Duo that he should take her to the hospital."
"What did he say?"
"No. He wants to wait until November like the doctor said. He doesn't like lie."
"Seems reasonable. I bet she doesn't like that."
"No,she doesn't."
"Does Duo know what to do if he's out fighting and she's in labor?"
"I decided the best thing would be to talk to Heero and Relena."
"You mean he asked you?"
"Yeah. Please don't be mad Trowa. Duo said it was the only thing he could do. You understand don't you?"
He sighed. "You do have a point. What did you say?"
"I told them that he should talk to Heero and Relena. It was the only thing I could think of because Relena and Hilde could both watch over the girls(Midii and Violet). Trowa, Hilde needs someone to take care of her why Duo's away. And this is the only thing that can actually work."
"You're right about that. Should we call Heero?"
"No. That's Duo's job."
"Alright then."
"I think we should go back to the house Trowa. Duo might call anytime soon."
"That's fine,"and the two left the shed.

Trowa and Quatre never heard back from Duo that day. They weren't surprised though. They knew the other gundam pilots had to get ready too. It was a good thing they were out of the shed by the time the girls got home. But Violet knew that something wrong. Please don't tell me that you know too Violet,though Quatre. I don't want you and Midii getting involved. This might get serious.
The girls didn't say anything during dinner,or when they went to bed. Quatre and Trowa were happy too. They knew that if the got the girls involved,it would probably be the end of the world for them. For all of them.
The next morning wasn't any different. The girls didn't know anything and that was good. The good thing was that Duo had finally called.
"Did you call Heero?"asked Quatre.
"Yeah I got him,"said Duo.
"That's good."
"How about Wufei?"asked Trowa.
"Hang on! I can only do so much!"said Duo. "Heero still hasn't called me back. I asked to see if he would find Wufei."
"Right. Alright then. Thanks anyways."
"I wouldn't worry about it. Wufei loves to work alone. He doesn't have to call back right away."
"Yes,but Quatre and I are really worried about this Duo. And I think you should be too. Have you got anymore information on the person who is starting the war?"
"Nope. Nothing."
"Oh."
"Wait a sec! I just got an e-mail."
"What is Duo?"
"It's from Heero..."he paused.
"Speak of the devil. He's found Wufei."
"Good for him. I guess we're ready then."
"Hold your horses! He's also informed me that Noin's going to fight with us."
Quatre turned to Trowa. "Are you sure that's necessary Trowa?"
"If Noin wants to fight with us that's fine. Can you send Heero back and tell him it's alright if Noin fights with us Duo?"asked Trowa.
"That's fine with me. I'll do it after we talk,"he said.
"That's fine then."
"Have you told the girls yet?"
"No. We don't think we should tell them. At least no yet anyways."
"Well,there isn't really much time left."
"What do you mean Duo?"asked Quatre.
"We are going into battle soon. It would be a good thing if they knew what was going on so they don't freak out."
"Duo does have a point Quatre,"said Trowa.
"But are you sure we should do that Trowa?"asked Quatre.
"We'll talk about that later."
"You guys can talk about it in a sec. I need to get out of here so I can help Hilde. C-ya guys!"and the screen clicked off.
Quatre pushed back the chair and sat on the windowsill. "Trowa,I don't want the girls getting involved in this. What if Violet tries to get into a mobile suit and fights with us?"asked Quatre
"Quatre,I think she understands that piloting a mobile suit is not a game. We've been through this before,"said Trowa.
"Yes,I know that Trowa. But I still don't trust her."
He sighed. "I understand what you're trying to get at Quatre,but we have to tell them sooner or later. The girls will understand. They always have."
"Alright. I guess we don't really have a choice. I just wanted this peace to really last us the rest of our lives. But I guess I was wrong. We were all wrong."
"No Quatre. The peace will come if we fight for it. Just like we always have."
"Oh Trowa..."
"I need to go out into the shed and get some explosives into Heavyarms. Do you want to come with me or stay here?"
"I'll come with you. Sandrock isn't completed yet."
"That's fine. Well,let's go then,"and the two headed for the shed.
Trowa and Quatre worked for nearly two hours on their gundams. They had still decided on keeping this a secret to the girls. But Trowa wasn't so sure about that. They're going to find out soon,he thought. What's wrong with me? I'm usually a lot braver than this. I need to tell Quatre that we need to tell the girls about the war. They're sure to find out about it sooner or later. Violet is going to be fine. I know how Quatre can be sometimes though. But he needs to show his bravery. He wasn't like this until he found Violet. Even though the times have changed,people shouldn't. Even though there are going to be some battles,people need to stop worrying about them so much and go on with their lives. Some people just haven't figured that out yet. I wish we could though. But we can't because we are the soldiers who help protect the people. It's our job. No one else wants to do,so we do it instead. In ways I'm glad for that. I'm tired of people getting hurt or killed. The problem is that very few people care about us. Why? Because they don't want to fight or they were from OZ or the White Fang. We need to show those people that OZ and the White Fang are over. This is not the past anymore. This is the future. And we need to make sure that the future isn't wasted by battles or wars. That's our job. Everyone's job.
Trowa and Quatre completed their gundams around 2:00. It would be a while until the girls got home,so they decided to just relax for an hour. No one called that after. Good thing too because Trowa wanted to talk to Quatre.
"Quatre,we need to talk,"said Trowa.
"About what Trowa?"he asked.
"About the war Quatre. I think..."he paused.
"Go on."
"I think we should still the girls about the war Quatre."
"What?!"
"Quatre,I think you're being a little over-protective of Violet. I think she knows now that piloting a mobile suit is not fun. But the girls are going to find out sooner or later,and if they have no idea what's going on,they're going to get mad at us. And I know you don't want that to happen Quatre. So,do you agree with me?"
"But what if this is a long war Trowa?"
"That doesn't answer my question Quatre. Do you agree with me?"
He sighed. "I guess you do have a point. I guess we could tell them."
"Good. This isn't going to be any different from any other battle we've had to fight.
Quatre glared out the window,waiting for the girls to come home. It had been exactly an hour since the two gundam pilots had finished working on their gundams.
"Trowa,shouldn't the girls be home by now?"he asked.
"It's only 3:15 Quatre. They'll be home soon. Don't worry about it. I haven't forgotten."
That's not what I'm worried about,he thought. I'm worried about the fact there's gonna be another war and that we have to fight again. I just we knew the person who was starting the war.If he was from OZ or the White Fang he wouldn't've done this.It just isn't fair and it isn't right.

The girls arrived home 15 minutes later. Quatre sat on his bed and watched as the girls got of the bus and started walking home. Trowa's right,he thought. This isn't any different from any otther battle we've fought in the past year. But then again...what if it is? I just hope the girls understand about what we have to go through to bring peace to the people.
Trowa and Quatre decided that they would tell the girls about the "new war" later that night after dinner. The two were starting to have doubts that Wufei was coming to fight with them because Duo never called them back. But they knew what they had to do. Leave the other gundam pilots alone until they call you. People were always busy these days, and they knew it. They were busy too. Especially with trying to handle the girls,and having to same people in the colonies and the Earth from getting hurt or killed.

But if the future was going to be like hell,they were the only people who could do anything. Even it meant sacraficing your own comrade's life.
Dinner was very quiet,like usual. But Quatre couldn't wait anymore,so he decided to break the news to the girls a little bit earlier than planned.
"Another war?"asked Violet after Quatre told them about what happened. "How many stupid people are out there in the universe today?"
"A lot Violet. And that's why we have to stop them,"said Quatre.
The conversation raged on for about an hour or so. But then the girls got tired and decided that they had done enough talking for the day,and went to bed.
"Dad,can you sing to me like you used to when I was little?"Violet asked before she went to sleep?
"Sure Violet."

Quatre looked over to see if Violet was asleep. Sure enough,she was. "'Night Little One,"he bent over,kissed her forehead,and left the room.
When he got downstairs he found Trowa sitting in his chair,reading over same mail that had arrived. "What is it Trowa?"
"Oh nothing Quatre. Just some junk we got in the mail. Do you mind if I got out into the shed and work on Heavyarms a bit?"
"Not at all. Go ahead."
"Thanks Quatre."
"Hey Trowa...."he paused.
"Yes Quatre?"
"Did Duo happen to call while I was putting Violet to bed?"
"No he didn't Quatre. Why?"
"Oh,no reason. Just wondering."
He sighed. "Just give him a day or two Quatre. Everything's going to be fine."
He nodded and the two went about their business. But Quatre knew something wasn't right. Duo wouldn't take this long to call us,he thought. Even if Hilde was expecting a baby. This just isn't him.
But soon enough,Quatre got his luck. Duo called. "Hey Quatre! Long time no see!"said the familiar,cheerful voice.
"Duo! Well,it has been a while. Where've you been?"
"I've been taking care of Hilde. She hasn't been feeling really god."
"Oh,I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it. Hey,is Trowa there?"
"No he's not. He went out to the shed to work on his gundam."
"Hmm. Makes sense. That's fine then."
"Have you been able to talk to Heero or Wufei lately?"
"Nah. I haven't had time."
"I figured. Hey,have you gotten anymore information yet?"
"Actually...yes I have."
"Oh good! What is it?"
"Well,they haven't exactly found out who's starting the war."
"Oh."
"But,there is some good news. The Alliance is going to send in some back up...if we need it."
"No."
"What?"
"Absolutely not Duo. I thought we said that we didn't want anymore people having to try to kill themselves."
"Yeah but--!"
"No buts Duo."
"Quatre,we can't turn this people down or they might try to be on the side of the person who is starting the war. I didn't ask them Quatre...they kinda volunteered."
He sighed. "Well...I guess you're right Duo."
"Great."
"So,how is Hilde doing?I mean,I know she's sick and all- -."
"I know what you mean Quatre. It's alright. She wishes that she was back and work and all. She's thinking that I should take her to the hospital soon."
"And?"
"I'm not going to do that until November. I can't go and lie to the doctors. You remember what I said about 8 years ago. I may run and hide,but I never tell a lie. And I can't."
"That seems fair. What does Hilde think about that?"
"She hates it,but she's starting to get over it."
"That's good."
"I'm a little worried about her though. She might go into labor while I'm gone,and what am I supposed to do? I'm not good with this kind of stuff Quatre."
"Have you called Relena?"
"Nah. I want to live her and Heero alone. It seems like the best thing."
"Well,I think you should give them a call. Even if they like it or not. It would be the best thing for Hilde and the baby."
"Alright. Thanks Quatre."
"Don't mention it Duo."
"I just hope they say yes."
"Duo,you know they will. Relena and Hilde are really good friends. And if Hilde was in a situation like this,they couldn't possibly say no."
He sighed. "I guess you're right. Just one more thing Quatre."
"Yes?"
"Is Trowa back?"
"No. Not yet. I'd better go and see if everything's alright. Is that ok with you?"
"That's fine with me Quatre."
"Alright. Thank you Duo."
"No problem Quatre,"and the screen clicked off.
Quatre then grabbed his coat,and hurried out to the shed.
Quatre found Trowa still in the shed,but not working on his gundam. Trowa was just standing there,staring at Heavyarms.
"Trowa,you alright?"
"Oh Quatre! You scared me,"Trowa said in shock.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to see what you were up to. I was starting to get worried because you've stayed in here for almost 2 hours."
"I have? Well,time flies."
"You're right about that. Duo called."
"He did? That's good. How's Hilde?"
"Not so good. She's is so much pain and she had to quit going to work. She also keeps telling Duo that he should take her to the hospital."
"What did he say?"
"No. He wants to wait until November like the doctor said. He doesn't like lie."
"Seems reasonable. I bet she doesn't like that."
"No,she doesn't."
"Does Duo know what to do if he's out fighting and she's in labor?"
"I decided the best thing would be to talk to Heero and Relena."
"You mean he asked you?"
"Yeah. Please don't be mad Trowa. Duo said it was the only thing he could do. You understand don't you?"
He sighed. "You do have a point. What did you say?"
"I told them that he should talk to Heero and Relena. It was the only thing I could think of because Relena and Hilde could both watch over the girls(Midii and Violet). Trowa, Hilde needs someone to take care of her why Duo's away. And this is the only thing that can actually work."
"You're right about that. Should we call Heero?"
"No. That's Duo's job."
"Alright then."
"I think we should go back to the house Trowa. Duo might call anytime soon."
"That's fine,"and the two left the shed.
