DICLAIMER: I don't own anything, blah, blah, blah. Man! I'm getting tired of these disclaimers!

Hilde curled up in her blanket half asleep the next morning. She shivered involuntarily and turned slightly. Reaching with her arm, she looked for someone to snuggle up to. Finding an arm, she turned around to hug him while bringing her lips up to his.

When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to see Heero looking confusedly at her. Her lips still glued to his own.

She gave a startled 'eep' and jumped back. Blushing slightly under his gaze. "I. . . I'm sorry. . . I. . . I though. . . I thought. . ." She stammered.

Heero nodded his head at her in understanding. She thought he was Duo. He gave a slight breath of a chuckle. Imagining that she probably was highly embarrassed right then.

Hilde smiled back at him. He laughed. Or what was as close to a laugh as Heero would ever get. Almost unnoticeable. But she had caught it. Making her smile even more at him.

He had such a nice smile. She wished he would use it more often. She suddenly remembered what she just did moments ago. Glad that he wasn't offended by it. Because she didn't like him like that. Did she?

She had to admit; Heero was probably the most caring man she ever knew. You wouldn't think so when you first meet. Or even after you meet him. But after living with him for a while, and his smile. . .

Her thoughts were pulled away as Heero stood up. Already dressed for the most part. Slept in his cloths. As was she. He must have put her to bed last night.

"Morning exercise." He stated as he got up from the bed and made his way to the bedroom door. Closing it quietly behind him.

After he left, she looked down at her stomach and rubbed it sadly. After her parents left, what would she do? She wondered what Duo was doing right now.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Duo moved slightly in his sleep. Feeling something uncomfortable poke him, he picked it up to look at it. A wine bottle. He grunted and dropped it to the floor. He must have gotten drunk last night. Cause he couldn't remember much of it.

Rolling over, he snuggled closer to Hilde and breather in her scent. Running his hand through her long hair. . . Long hair? She doesn't have. . . oh no. He fell out of the bed with a startled cry.

Releena woke up groggily with the worst headache she ever knew. Turning over, she looked to see what the commotion was. "What's going o. . ." She looked down at her naked form, and noticing Duo's on the floor, along with the numerous wine bottles around the room, she put the pieces together. "Oh no. What have we done?"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Heero walked out of the bedroom and headed towards the apartment door leading outside. Everyone else was still asleep, as it was rather early in the morning. Actually, no they weren't. Glancing in the living room, he saw one of the children were watching cartoons on the T.V.

Ignoring it, he continued toward the door to do his exercise. Closing the door quietly, he turned around and was slightly surprised at what he saw. The little girl that had been in the living room watching cartoons just moments ago was now standing behind him. How did he not see her?

He grunted at her.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When Hilde came out of the bedroom, she noticed that her brothers and father were still asleep. Crashed out in either the living room or the spare bedroom. Actually, it used to be Heero's room. But since he had no personal belongings, all he had to do was move his laptop and you wouldn't know anyone slept there.

The children had positioned themselves in front of the T.V. for morning cartoons. While Grandpa was in the kitchen with the other zombies waiting for the coffee to brew.

Looking around for Heero, she remembered him mentioning morning exercises. She headed for the front door. Upon opening it she found her Uncle Charlie, Aunt Sarah, and her mother all watching something in amusement.

When she saw what it was she couldn't help but laugh softly herself. Heero was doing his push ups. What was funny was that Vicky, Hilde's youngest cousin was stilling on Heero's back while he did this. Looking like a child on a kiddy ride laughing.

Her mother smiled and stood next to her when she saw her walk out. Both giggling at the sight before them. "Heero will make a great father." She sighed.

"Yes he will." Hilde answered more so to her self than to her mother. Her eyes were watching Heero intently.

Finishing with his exercises, he grabbed hold up the girl's legs before standing up. Carrying her piggyback style. But somehow he still managed to look like his normal emotionless self.

"Lets go inside!" The girl cheered to him. He nodded his head in compliance and made his was back inside with her on his back.

After depositing the girl back in front of the T.V. he sat down at the dining table only to have a plate of food shoved in his face by grandma. He noticed many of the other women were also at the table as well. The men were either in front of the T.V. or still asleep.

He felt a little uncomfortable under their gaze. Though his didn't show it. Grandma, Hilde's mother, three aunts and an older cousin all looked at him with a strange smile on their face.

They turned their attention over to Hilde. At which point Heero inwardly sighed in relief.

"So Hilde," Her mother began as her daughter sat down. Looking from her to Heero slowly. "Have the two of you decided on a date for the wedding yet?"

Heero stopped mid-chew with a mouth full of food as Hilde laughed nervously and rubbed the back of her neck. Now THIS could be a problem.
