Chapter 2
They had taken refuge in an abandoned houe just outside of a small town not to far from the fight. They were in no danger of being discovered by Oz at the moment and they were lucky that the neighbors were not close by. The young baby was screaming as the entered the once quiet house. Trowa threw his bag aside and began to turn lamps on, while Quatre ran to find a basket to place her in. Duo rocked and bounced her gently, trying to make her calm. Heero was having no part in this little escapade. He rolled his eyes and unfroze his computer, starting on the log for their lastest mission.
"Shhhh.....your all right little one....."
"Yes that will work...I'm sure she understands you perfectly....." Duo glared at Heero's coldness and took a seat across from him. Unwrapping the blankets around her he checked her diaper, but it was clean.
"So she must be hungry......"
Trowa came over, looking down at her. "I'll go and check to see what we have, but I doubt we have enough food she can eat." Getting up, he made his way to the tiny kitchen. Quatre came in shortly after, carrying a basket for clothes and some towels lining it.
"This should do for now...till we can find something better......is she still crying?....."
"Yeah....she's hungry......"
"She's not the only one......" 01 fed his two cents in and Duo only rolled his eyes and sighed.
"This is the only way that she knows how to get what she wants.....what's your excuse?" Heero looked up over the screen at his partner and glared a bit.
Quatre could sense the building tension growing between the two and made the option to check on Trowa in the kitchen. But those plans were ruined, when the silent one rejoined them in the living room. "We don't have anything.....I could go to the store...."
"Do we have any water or anything?...."
"She needs milk Maxwell....." Heero chimmed in again.
"Well I doubt anything I lactate has nutritional value.....care to give it a try Heero?" This cause the pilot to leave his seat and walk to his own room. Trowa blinked and sighed. Quatre, staying quiet through the scuffle, swallowed and responded to Trowa, seeing that no one else had.
"Yes.....if you feel it's safe enough to go to the store. Just be careful...." Nodding in response, Trowa kissed the others head slightly and left the house for the town. Duo sat, rocking the babe who was finally calming down with the promise of food. 04, smiling, sat on the back of the chair behind him. "She really is cute....."
"Yeah.....but she's alone....she will be once we give her away....." Quatre could sense the pain in Duo's voice. Quatre knew that Duo was afraid of being alone again and the fact this child might face the same fate that Duo had growing up was very uneasy. If Heero had his way, the child would be given away in the morning and what happened to her after that was out of their hands. But 01 had a point and that was this baby was not safe with them. They were always moving.....always hiding and if Oz got a hold of her......
"She needs a name," he whispered, trying to avert Duo's thoughts to something happier. Duo looked up at him and wondered. Well, he knew that Quatre was changing the subject and in a way was happy he had. Both looked at her, tiny eyes drooping off to sleep in his slender warm hold. Finally, after a silence between the two, Duo whispered his response.
"Helen....."
"Beautiful.......it suits her...." Smiling he got up and moved to look out the window. "Don't worry about Heero...he'll calm down..."
"Heh....why would I worry about him....we've gotten into fights before.....this one is just the stupidest....." Rising from his chair, he laid the babe in the basket and stretched. All they had to wait for now was the return of the babies food.
Trowa returned home a short while later, the baby was fed, but Duo still refused to talk to Heero and it was likewise for the other. He opted to sleep out in the living room on the couch that night, rather then in his bed with his partner. Trowa and Quatre decided this was one fight to just stay out of and made there way to their room for the night. Closing the door behind them, he made his way behind Quatre, hugging him. He could tell that the situation bugged the little one just as much as Maxwell.
"What's wrong.....?" He held tightly around the blondes waiste.
"We'll have to give her away....we're getting to attached.....Duo especially.....perhaps Heero is the only one that saw it at first.."
"Duo knows.....that we can't keep her forever...."
".....She'll be alone......I don't want to be alone....."
Trowa blinked confused. He turn the boy to look at him and hugged him, head resting on his boyfriends. "You're not alone. I'm here and so are the others...."
"Will you always be here though?.....you can't promise me that......"
Tilting his smaller chin up he pressed his lips against the others. The warmth calmed him, arms reaching up to wrap around the others neck. The arms around his waiste pulled him closer and then lips parted so that he could speak to his love. Trowa wasn't a speaker infront of the others. But to Quatre he had told more stories and whispered so many sweet nothings.
"..not always....but I am right now...and now is all that matters....." He brushed away the hair in the others eyes and kissed his cheek bone. The smaller boys eyes closed and leaned into the touch of Trowa's kiss. Hands relaxed on both bodies, the force of the older boys kissing, tipping them back onto the floor of the room. Quatre couldn't help but giggle at the slight pain that had become him, that and Trowa whispering apologies in his ear, which turned to mummers. He was at the others mercy. Just like all the times before. Slender hands, moved up and down, untucking his button up shirt. His hands were cold from being outside, sending a shock to his lower region.
"Sorry...." 03 whispered, slyly undoing the button to his lovers pants and pulling them off completely. The smallest, blushed, even now after some many times. His breathing was already becoming irregular, but hands also fashioned there way around the button to Trowa's pants and soon both of them were bottomless.
"Only fair......" Quatre smiled, as his hand brushed against the others growing erection. Trowa shivered to his touch and nodded he knew what the other wanted. Turning, he faced away and straddled the boy backwards, beginning his slow decent down onto his partners member. A moan escaped him as he too, took 03 into his mouth. He was taken back a moment, still not used to having the little one really try and take charge. But he knew it wouldn't last to long....His mouth slid slowly up and down the shaft, fingers lingering to tease the opening. Quatre was unaware of the assult, concentrating on his task. Suddenly, a sharp pleasurable pain sruged through him, making him stop and arch into the other.
"Aaaa.....no....fair....." He smiled, trying to contain himself. Trowa also flashed one of his rare smiles and began to insert yet another of his apendages as deep as he could fathum. Quatre clung to the legs beside him, head digging into the carpet. Trowa moved around to face him now, three fingers lodged in the his lover, mouth still teasing his arousal. He knew that his own climax was coming and withdrew from the boy. Slowly, he pressed into him, Quatre arching into him quickly, forcing him in deep.
"Your tight.....," Trowa winced, holding the slender boys hips.
"Always am...." Quatre gasped, blushing. His hands took hold of Trowa's and rocked with the motion. Soon, the pressure became to much for him, and quickly he came. Quatre cried out, he too reaching his breaking point and cumming all over the front of him. Panting, he reached up and petted his lovers face. "It's been to long...."
"Mmmm....."
Duo had fallen asleep, but Helen was just waking up. She looked around the room and suddenly admitted her cry. It rang through the house, however Duo was sleeping like a rock from exhaustion, Trowa and Quatre were a bit busy. Heero, on the other hand was still up working and heard that no one was dealing with the nusense. Sighing heavily, he got up from his chair and made his way to the living room. He walked past Duo passed out on the couch and sighed at the sight, then made his way over the to the basket.
Helen wailed loudly, but stopped for a moment at the sight of someone standing over her. Heero frowned at her.
"What...?"
She didn't respond....just stared.
"See....your fine....shut up...." Grumpily, he turned to walk away. Helen began to cry again and made him stop in his tracks. Whipping around and leaned over the basket. "What the hell do you want?" His voice was loud and scared her, only making her cry more. Grumbling, he reached down and picked her up carefully, one hand supporting her bum, the other patting her on the back.
"God...you cry just as much as someone else I know.....you know that?....." Grumbling, he walked around the living room, continueing his actions till suddenly, the little one let out a mighty burp. "....charming....."
To his response she giggled, which made even him snicker for a moment then shake his head and move back to her bed. Laying her down, she took hold of his finger, not letting go. Her grip was strong, her gaze was stronger.
".....you're not so bad......I guess....." Slowly, she drifted to sleep, releasing his finger. Sighing at the final silence, he got off his knees and turned around. Duo was up and had been watching them for quiet sometime. He wasn't smiling in an I told you so fashion, just staring.
"....what?...."
"Nothing....." Duo got off the couch and moved to the kitchen. Heero followed placing his hand on his shoulder.
"Look....I'm sorry for the attitude....but one of us has to keep a realistic view on all this....we can't keep her Duo....."
"I know that....! But....we can't just give her up yet......" He hung his head shallowly and sighed. Heero knew he couldn't win this. He couldn't deny Duo anything...he was spoiled that way. Rubbing his eyes, he dropped his hand off the others shoulder.
"She can stay till we get to the next town......but she's your responability......" Duo shot around and stared at him.
"Really?....."
Heero nodded. Happiest he had been in a while he lept at his lover hugging him tightly. 01 was caught a bit off guard, but took the impact well and ran his hand throw the boys long locks. He planted a kiss on his forehead and hugged back. Just then, a small cry was heard from the basket in the living room. Heero back off and grinned evily at Duo....
"What?...."
".....your turn..."
