Hi, everybody! I just wanted to thank all of my reviewers! I really didn't think I would get so many so quickly!

Here are a few answers to some questions:

Nekochan: Yep, she had Chibi-usa when she was 15. I do agree that it is a very young age to have a child and I normally wouldn't have written it that way, but I'm playing with the time line a little. I figure that if she is old enough to be Queen at 15 she can have a child at 15. It was a hard decision to come to, but I didn't want to make Usagi too old and I wanted Chibi-usa old enough to make some decisions and to be a strong character within the story. Under any other circumstances I would say that 25 is the age that Usagi needed to be pregnant with Chibi-usa.

Jupiter Angel: Yes, the twins are in fact Relena and Heero's children. Heero has full custody of them. (Heero? A full time dad? Yikes!) I know it is a little weird to think that Heero and Relena were married with children, but bare with me. I think that it makes the story interesting. (Could I be wrong? frown)

PinkRabbit: Thanks for making Trowa's age clear. I'll remember that later on in the story!

Now on with it…

Disclaimers: I'm not writing it again! Go to previous chapter! Oh, and don't sue!

Usagi was in her room sitting on the bed contemplating the man that she had just seen. Besides Mamoru she had never had such a rush of feelings about someone like that. But of course there were two things that were standing in the way. One, was the fact that he was her boss's ex and the other most important one was that she was still in love with her Mamo-chan. She couldn't help but feel that she was disgracing his memory by finding another man attractive.

"Okay, Usagi, stop thinking about it." She commanded herself aloud. With that she got up to unpack. She would be meeting the rest of the group in a little bit at dinner.

(Scene Break)

"So what do you think of her?" Relena asked the man that was sitting on her bed wrestling with their children.

"Lena, I refuse to have you try to set me up again. I am perfectly happy living without a woman in my life." Heero answered.

"No, no," Relena said, as her diplomatic skills kicked in gear. 'Time for my cover story.' She thought to herself. "I didn't bring her here for you. She works for me, she needed and break and she just lost her husband and few months ago to cancer. I thought she could use the time to have some fun and help ease the pain a little."

"Oh," Heero replied, his voice holding a little sympathy.

Relena turned her back to him as she placed some clothing into a drawer. "Plus, she isn't your type anyway." She gave him a sideways glance and read the expression she was looking for. 'She's just your type, Heero Yuy, and you know it. She is anybody's type.'

As if mirroring her own thoughts Heero replied, "You know that all of the guys are going to be after her."

She smiled inwardly, "Exactly. Like I said, I brought her here for a little fun." Giddily she thought, 'I know you already find her attractive. Ha, put that in your pipe and smoke it, Yuy.' She then turned her full attention to her children that were now pulling on her shirttail. 'Phase one, complete.'

(Scene Break)

"Mama?" Usagi heard through her bedroom door.

"Yes, darling."

Usa opened the door; "It's time for dinner."

"Okay, let's go." Usagi got up from her bed and walked out of the room. She saw that Relena was also just coming out of her room.

The older woman walked up to the other pair in the hallway. "I was just coming to get you." She smiled. "So how is your stay so far?" She started as they made their way down to the dining room.

"Relaxing." Usagi answered.

"That's good, but don't get to use to it. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day."

"I thought that this was a vacation." Usagi laughed.

"It is, but we've got three young children here. And vacations are all about 'fun' to them."

"True."

"So," she interjected casually. "What do you think about Heero."

Usagi really didn't even think about the question. "He seems nice, but we've only spoken two words to each other."

Relena laughed, "That's not what I meant. What do you think about him?"

She then got the full meaning of the question. "He's attractive." She tried not to let on how attractive she actually thought he was. You just don't find your friend's ex attractive. Especially when your friend also happens to be your boss. "Why did you get a divorce?" she questioned.

"We just kind of fell out of love. We never saw each other. I was always somewhere else than home and he was always with the kids. Wanting a divorce was mutual. I guess neither of us felt like putting up pretenses anymore. I love him and he loves me, but not in the way a married couple should. It's kind of like we're best friends with children. He got full custody of the kids. We could have done joint, but there was no point. I can see the kids whenever I want to, and I don't want them bouncing around from place to place with me. It's nicer that they have a steady place to stay." Okay, I just explained Heero and Relena's relationship. I hope that it clears up everything.

"That's great that you both have such a good relationship. Most divorced couples don't." Usagi said.

"Yeah, I'm happy about it. We try to be as much of a real family as we can. That's why we vacation together and stuff. Oh, here we are."

They had reached the dining room where Heero, the children and four other men were waiting on them. The twins bounded up their mother, "Look, Mommy, Uncle Duo braided my hair for dinner." Ayna said excitedly.

"It's very pretty." Relena smiled at the little girl.

"Come on, Usa, let's go sit down." Ayna pulled the older girl to the table, Erik following.

The five men stood up from the table waiting to be introduced to the new comer. "Usagi, these are my friends. Quatre, our host." Relena pointed to a regal looking blonde man. "That's Trowa Barton," indicated to the mysterious looking man with his hair covering one of his forest green eyes. "This is Duo Maxwell." Usagi looked at the man that had braided little Ayna's hair and observed that he had a long chestnut braid himself. "And this is Wufei Chang." Relena finished with the Chinese man. "Everyone this is Usagi Chiba and that little girl over there is her daughter, Usa."

After introductions they sat down to eat and started light conversations. It was mostly about what everyone had be doing for the past year. Usagi mostly observed the conversations unless asked a direct question.

"So, Usagi, are you married?" Duo asked.

Heero and Relena winced. 'Damn, I forgot to prep everybody about her husband.' She thought dismally.

Usagi nearly dropped her fork but quickly recovered. "My husband passed away about three months ago." She responded quietly.

Duo turned a slight shade of pink and mentally kicked himself. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean…"

"No, it's okay. Don't be embarrassed. You didn't know." Usagi tried to reassure him.

"So, what do we have planned for tomorrow?" Quatre changed the subject quickly.

Heero took the bait. "I think that the children want to go to the beach."

With that they all talked about tomorrow's events.

(Scene Change)

Heero was tossing in his bed. For some reason or another he couldn't go to sleep. He looked at his clock for the hundredth time. "Two fifteen. Screw it." He got up and left his room. Down the corridor there was a sitting room with a television. When he reached the room he switched on the light. A silvery blonde head popped up from the couch. She turned and looked at him wiping her eyes.

"Oh, I'm sorry." He turned to walk out of the room.

"No, no. Don't go. It's okay. I'm done." She beckoned him back.

He turned back around and looked at her face. She was even beautiful when her eyes and face were red and puffy. 'Now, why did I think that?' he asked himself. "Most people hate this question, but are you okay?"

"Yes." She answered. "You have your good moments and your bad ones. I just have to get over this. You know, that sounds so cold: to 'get over it'."

"Would you like to talk about it." Even then, Heero mentally kicked himself for asking the question.

"No, I'm okay now." She smiled.

"Would you like something to drink?"

She thought about it and gave him her biggest smile. "No, but I'd die for some ice cream."

Heero couldn't help but smile back. "Right this way, milady." He said as he stuck out his arm.

They went down to the kitchen and Heero rummaged around in the refrigerator until he found two pints of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream.

That sat on the kitchen counter talking about their life as they ate their ice cream. The subjects that they stayed on was mostly their kids, work, and others safe topics. Heero would occasionally ask about her husband, but stayed far away from the subject of his death. Even after they had finished their ice cream they talked until Usagi noticed that it was four in the morning. "I think it's time for bed." She laughed.

Heero looked up at the clock. "I think you are right."

He walked her to her room. "Thanks for the ice cream and the chat."

"Any time." He answered.

They stood there for a while staring into each other's eyes until Usagi smiled and went into her room.

Heero walked to his room and fell onto the bed. He was instantly asleep and having sweet dreams.

My Rant

So? Whatcha think. I know it's a bit slow, but I had to introduce the guys and let Heero and Usagi get to know each other. The basis of a good relationship starts out as being friends.

I know that I'm writing Heero a little (okay, a lottle) out of character. But come on, you can't be the cold hearted Perfect Soldier when you've got two kids.

Oh, and I'm thinking about pairing the Scouts with the other guys, but I'm not sure yet. Let me know if ya'll think that's a good idea or not.

Thanks again for all the reviews!

Lots of Love…
