Chapter 10:The visit

"Poor poor Relena" a voice said.

Relena instantly cracked her eyes open and looked up at the intruders face.

"It's you!" Relena cried as she tried to get up.

"Relena I advise you to stay still….." Warned the voice.

"Don't tell me what to do, you have no right to be near me!" Shrieked Relena. But as she struggled to get up, she only succeeded into tumbling back down to the ground, from the excruciating pain she was feeling in her abdomen. Leaving no choice, she lay still as the voice had commanded.

"I know what this is" The voice said softly

"What are you talking about?" Relena asked alarmed

"Let's go over the analysis. You go for jogs, only to clutch your stomach, fall down and pass out…on a constant basis, then you constantly eat like you've never eaten before, and you have mood swings like a woman with metopos."

"How the hell do you know all that?" Relena asked. Then a look of horror crossed her face. "You've been spying on me? How long has it been…….?"

"I myself have lost track of time…." the voice replied.

"What are you planning on doing with me?" Relena winced from pain.

"Me? Absolutely nothing, don't worry your in no trouble. But, as much as I hate to admit it, I do need your help…"

"My help? What makes you think that after all that, I'm still going t help you?" Relena asked angrily.

"I'm not quite sure……but please, I need your help……I know I don't deserve it, but I needed to at least try to get your help…I'm kind of in a bind." The person smiled meekly. "Plus, maybe I can help you…."

"Why would I need your help?" Relena asked.

"Because hun, you Prego…."

"what?"

"Your pregnant…"

"How would you know that?" she asked.

"Because the signs all point to it…look I even bought a pregnancy test. Here you go" The person handed her the test.

"I don't know if I should trust you or not." Relena examined the small box containing the pregnancy test. It appeared to be in good condition, and untainted.

Relena was full of questions. How did they know she was here? How did they know she was pregnant, before she herself had drawn to that conclusion….should she trust her? After all Relena had been put through, who could blame her for being so precautious? She already was proving to be stronger then before, by not calling security…which she had ever right to do.

"How did you know I was here? In this room? And that I was in pain?" Relena felt a sudden curiosity poke at her.

"Please don't be mad at me Relena, but…well….there are a lot of things that I need to tell you. I know I have no right to even be near you, but please Relena, I've changed!" she pleaded.

"Fine, I'll give you a chance to explain yourself."

"Thank you!" Kayla had tears in her eyes of gratitude. "But let's take care of you first, your in pain." Relena flashed her a quizzical look. "First you need to find out if it's true or not. Take the pregnancy test. The only father would be Heero, so don't worry you'll be fine" Kayla added upon seeing Relena's worried glare.

Relena nodded and hurried into the bathroom, locking the door behind her. Unprepared for the answer, she opened the packet and followed the instructions. Moments later, Relena re appared out of the bathroom, still in shock.

Kayla shrugged "So I guess I'm right then…..I wonder if it'll be a boy or a girl" Kayla wondered, actually genuinely happy for Relena, and making an attempt to lighten the heavy mood.

"Drop the act Kayla…..since when are you suddenly on 'kind' terms with me?"

Kayla sighed. "Since I finally came to my senses…….I have made more then my share of wrong choices…."

Relena nodded.

"Where to begin……well, after Josh and I were taken to the jail, he suddenly turned on me. He blamed me for everything that went wrong in our so called 'revenge plot', and he wouldn't speak to me for days. Then the corporation that was supporting us in the project bailed us out. That's why we were let out of jail without any penalties……the corporation was rich enough to literally buy our freedom, and only make a dent in their income…. While I was in jail, I learned a lot of things. I saw the ugly side of Josh and it wasn't pretty…" Relena looked at Kayla's face, her pretty short dark hair had grown to shoulder length, her bangs covered her eyes. Kayla looked worn, and Relena, despite all that had happened, felt a sudden sadness for her. Why? She wasn't quite sure…

"What do you mean?' Relena pried softly.

"Relena….I loved Josh. I still do. I hate him, yet I love him" Kayla had tears freely falling down her cheeks. "I could take the hurts that he gave me…." Relena interrupted her. "hurts?' Relena didn't like the sound of that word. Already several possibilities came into her mind…

Kayla nodded. "Yeah…I don't know why I'm telling you this…I just had to tell someone Relena……and there's no one left for me to tell…I had to come to you!" Kayla sobbed.

"Let me see" Relena asked patiently, shoving her own pain aside as she made her way beside Kayla and examined her obvious bruised arm.

"It doesn't hurt…my body just feels numb." Kayla stated flatly…but Relena could read between the lines. She heard the pain etched into each word she spoke.

"Why did he do this to you?" Relena's anger towards Josh increased ten fold.

" I don't know….I think I made him angry. I was always such a bother, hanging onto him like I did…but he was the only one I had" Kayla wiped furiously at her face.

"Sorry I'm falling apart on you, but I need to tell someone." Relena gave an encouraging nod

"Anyway, I stayed out of his way, cooked for him, cleaned up after him. I even avoided talking to him just to keep him happy. But it didn't matter, he still acted as if he hated me and took his frustrations out on me as if I were a human punching bag. But I didn't mind….as long as I was still near him. Then one night, he was gone. I went to the corporation to ask the president if he knew where Josh had gone. I was immediately shut down and told if I knew what was best for me I would leave. But I couldn't just let Josh go….I had no family, they were killed when I was little in an explosion. I had been alone for a long time until Josh had found me 7 years ago. We were always together, we supported each other and we were happy. Then we were offered jobs as assassins in the Drestak Corporation, a lot of money was at stake. Ever since that day, we've been going down hill…ruined. When we failed the mission, the corporation wasn't afraid to show us their disappointment. We had never failed a mission before, until you….but they freed us anyway. But only because they were afraid we'd talk. If we were to spill on Drestak's hidden agenda's, then they would be ruined. So they freed us.

I begged associates for information on Josh. Finally, I found out he headed out after you….He had apparently made a deal with the boss. If he got rid of you, then he'd get his job back. Josh has nothing to lose. Ever since he started working for the corporation he's turned into a monster. His humanity has been ripped away from him. He's blinded by greed."

"Why would you warn me that he's coming after me? Don't you want him to get his revenge and his job back?"

"I care for Josh Relena. I love him too much to describe in words. But, this isn't Josh. This is a monster. When I was in jail, I thought about what I had done, realized that the hope of the corporation and its associates being my family was a joke. I have no family, I've been alone for a long time. Josh left me alone in jail, even though he was physically there. I wondered why I had tried to deliberately wipe you off this planet, when the people that loved you didn't deserve a loss…it's too much suffering. And you didn't deserve to die. You are too kind of a person Relena, and the only thing that had kept me going throughout that mission was the knowledge that no matter what, Josh was at my side…he wasn't going to leave me. I was being selfish.

Now look. I'm officially alone again. Josh left, he isn't as reliable as I cracked him up to be. But all that doesn't matter. I can handle the pain, I can handle the torture. But I will not tolerate what the corporation has done to the one person that matters most to me. I will get my revenge over the corporation. But first, I have to contain the monster inside of Josh. I need to turn him back to normal. He was never this cruel when I first met him. This isn't the Josh I came to love, despite what I've tried to tell myself repeatedly.

I came here to warn you that he's after you. And I also came to apologize for everything that I've done…I know that you may never forgive me, and I understand, but I needed to tell you. Please stay close to Heero, he'll protect you. Don't wonder out alone. And I will continue to try and save Josh….."

Relena stared at the poor girl quietly. Now that she thought about it, Kayla hadn't really even done much to harm her in the attacks. It had always been Josh. All Kayla had done wrong was standing by as she watched Relena get hurt….

"Kayla, I am still a little angry at you, but I've known you for a long time. I understand your situation completely. When you love someone so much, nothing else matters. The human heart will go to no limits to get to the ones they love and to protect them. Don't worry I know….I let my friends and family worry about me for so long because I thought I was running away from hurt….I was being selfish."

Kayla smiled through more tears that spilled down her cheeks. Relena walked over to her and embraced her friend.

"Kayla I'm here for you…" Relena smiled while patting her back.

"Thank you…you don't know how much this means to me." Kayla said. "But I have to go now. If anyone finds out I'm here, my cover will be blown." Kayla smiled.

"Don't worry I'll keep it a secret. And if you want…..you obviously know where I live don't you?" Kayla nodded.

"Why is it that if your looking for Josh, your also spying on me as well?" Relena asked.

"Because I won't let Josh hurt you again. We've already caused to much damage. So I'm more of your secret angel watching over you."

It was Relena's turn to thank Kayla. "Thank you".

"It's the least I can do for you Relena." Kayla shrugged.

"And one more question before you go."

"What's that officer?" Kayla joked

"How did you know I was lying in pain in this hotel room?" Relena asked "I asked you that earlier but you never answered…."

"That's easy. I wasn't hired as an assassin for nothing. I know how to break into the security cameras, it's a sinch. And I suppose to many things have gone wrong in this five star hotel, because there are security cameras in almost every room. Your room happens to be one of them. Along with lover boys over there" Kayla pointed to the right."

Relena gave a questioning look in response.

"Heero's in the next room. He didn't hear you earlier, or now, because the rooms are sound proof….I haven't quite figured out yet if that's a good thing or bad thing in this hotel….they have security camera's, but you can't hear the people inside the rooms….it's very interesting yet somehow illogical." Kayla giggled.

"Well I best be heading out. I'll see you later Relena. And I advise you to go to the hospital and get your baby checked out! I'll talk to you soon I hope" With that, Kayla left the room to a still bewildered Relena, pondering her thoughts.

Wait a minute! Kayla had said something about needing help, but Relena had wanted answers, so she had run over any chances of finding out what it was Kayla wanted….but she supposed she would be back eventually anway so it didn't matter….eventually Relena would find out what it was.

Walking out of her room, Relena knocked on the door to her right and waited for the door to open. When it did she flung herself into his arms.

"Heero, I'm pregnant!"
