A/NI own Cass and Toby, but not GW. Yay. I have realized that I haven't mentioned where they live, which is kinda important. They live in one of the Winner mansions. Two floors, basement and attic. The Gundams are kept in the back yard which is large and up against a forest. They live basically in the middle of nowhere. I have the floor plans, which I'll lay out in this chappie so you know. Sorry for the mess-up. this chapter, and almost every one after, has a lot of Relena bashing because I hate her. If you disagree with me, you probably aren't' reading this right now to begin with, but just a warning anyways .

Wufei's scream of rage echoed through Quatre's mansion. He appeared on the stairs out of the attic, ranting about onnas, injustice, and dishonor. "Maxwell!" he shot at the chestnut haired boy lounging on the couch downstairs. "That child of yours is a menace! She has ruined my room, and defiled Nataku!" Duo hit the couch and turned to look up at the irate Chinese boy. "What did she do to your precious Nataku?" He asked sarcastically. "She drew on her image, "Wufei said matter of factly. "Wu-man," Duo said impatiently, "she's a kid. Kids do that sort of thing. For Christ's sake, Wufei, just take another picture of that hunk-a-junk and be done with it!" Wufei sputtered angrily as Duo sunk back into the couch.
When the fuming Chinese pilot had retreated to his room again, Quarte stepped out of the kitchen and faced the pilot of Shinigami. "Maybe you should pay more attention to what Cass is doing, Duo. She is getting to be a bit of a hassle,' he warned. Duo sighed. He was about to say something, when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it," trowa called from the entry way. they heard the door click open, then there was an eerie silence.
Duo got up to see who it was. As soon as he rounded the corner to the entry way, he understood the reason for the unease. "RELENA!?!?!" She turned to him with her animalistically blank expression. "Hi, Duo!" she bubbled. Duo felt his stomach turn. Quatre came up beside him and turned white. "M...Ms. Relena!" She turned that look of hers to the poor boy and repeated her greeting. 'Where's Heero?" she asked finally. The three pilots glanced at each other, though no one would have known they had if even if they were looking at them. "He's..."
Heero entered the living room unsuspectingly. Before he even saw the plague, it was on him. "Oh HEERO!!!!" it squealed. Heero sea side up. He knew that voice. "Oh, Heero," Quatre said nervously. He looked badly shaken. "Relena has stopped by to see you. But I guess you knew that already..." Relena drowned him out quickly, with her screeching voice. "Oh Heero, I knew I would find you! Even though you had to go on missions and leave me behind, and even though your fellow pilots took you away from me, and even brainwashed you into thinking you're a sick wacko like them, I know better! I know you love me and that you're really straight, and that you want to have children and settle in with a nice girl like me. I know." Duo was glowering behind Relena's back. the other three pilots were also in rather dark moods towards Relena's comment. There was a little girl on the couch Heero had never seen before. Relena motioned vaguely at the child, who didn't seem to happy about being associated with her escort. "This is my daughter, Kedo," Relena explained. "I figured that if we got together then we'd want kids and I figured I would just get one so when you do marry me, we won't have to waste any time on the whole nine month thing, or the diapers and stuff."
As she was saying this, Cass and Toby discended from the stairs and entered the living room. "Daddy," Cass burbled happily. "Who's that, mom?" Toby asked Quatre. "That's..." Quatre searched for a correct and polite way to put it." An old acquaintance, dear." Relena realized the children's presence and turned to face the group. "Heero? Love? Who are they?" she had said this directed at the children. this was the last straw. Quatre snapped up Toby and Trowa took a protective stance beside him, mimicked awkwardly by Quatre himself. Duo stood abruptly, upsetting the coffee table in front of him. Wufei remained stoic. The children seemed to have caught on that this was not a liked or welcome guest. Cass stood defiantly before her mother, Toby readied himself for something, though no one could be sure what just by looking at him. Relena didn't notice any of this as she turned adoringly back to Heero who had lost all civility he had with her. "She's my daughter," he snarled vehementently at her.
She stared at him, shattered. "What?" she cried. She fled from the house in tears, leaving the child she'd brought with her on the couch completely forgotten. When she had gone the pilots turned to the child; not really sure what to do with her. "Kill her," Wufei dismissed. "We can't do that!" Duo protested. He looked at the girl again and added, "She looks about Cass and Toby's age. She can stay here and play with them." Cass had already began to aquaint herself with the little girl, the two of them getting along seemingly well. Kedo slid off the couch and ran up the stairs with Cass to her room. Heero shrugged it off. "She can stay for a few days," he said.
A few days later, Relena still hadn't returned for her child. The pilots had decided it was time to send young Kedo home. Quatre entered Cass's room, where the other girl had been sleeping and knelt in front of her. "Kedo, dear," he said, "Do you know how we could get a hold of your mommy?" Kedo didn't look up from her game as she answered, "Oh, mommy doesn't take care of me. I live with Uncle Zechs." Quatre choked down a gasp, resisting the urge to shout. "Oh?" he said shakily, "And how would we be able to contact...uh...your...uncle?" "He lives down the hill," she said. "I can walk if you are trying to tell me I need to leave." Quatre hesitated before he replied to that. "Well, maybe you should at least let 'Uncle' Zechs where you are." Kedo nodded and stood up. "Okay," she agreed. "Hey Cass, I'll see you tomorrow. Maybe you could come over to my house then." Cass agreed and Kedo returned home. Quatre sighed heavily. This was going to be interesting to explain to the other pilots.
