Heero Yuy was bored.
Not that this was a necessarily bad thing, all things considering. It seems he started a trend after accidentally sleeping with Dou's girlfriend. Getting her pregnant. Now all of Preventor's it seemed were having secret affairs and sleeping with one another.
A little quiet and boredom was a nice change of pace.
At least it was. For the first five minutes of his boredom. And then he became bored of his boredom.
His life was so quiet before. So routinely mundane. And now after everything that happened over the past two and a half months, after all the confusion and running around, it was quiet again.
It was unnerving. Check that. He hated it. It was hard to believe it had been two and a half months already. Another seven months and his child would be born. It wouldn't be long before Hilde began to show, from what she told him.
Seven months. It seemed so far in the distance when this all first started out. The child being born. Seven months and he was already having a nervous breakdown.
He needed something to do.

Hilde came back to the apartment she shared with Heero. Arms full of groceries. She had a craving a pizza topped with ice cream. And ended up coming back to the apartment with half the grocery store.
Not wanting to put everything down to open the door, she shuffled everything in her arms around while moving for the keys in her pockets. When she finally managed it, she turned the door handle and walked inside.
A loud pounding noise filled her ears as she wondered what the heck was going on. Did she walk into the wrong apartment? Heero was never that loud. He practically watched the television muted.
WHAM! – WHAM! – THUMP! –
"OOWW!"
Dropping the groceries by the door, Hilde made her way over to Heero's bedroom curiously. Where the noise had been coming from.
Heero was sitting amongst a bunch of carpentry tools and two by fours. Where he was currently sucking on his purple thumb and blowing on it softly. It might have been humorous had Hilde not been so busy gawking at the remainders of what used to be his room.
Part of the wall that separated her room from Heero's had been taken down. And it looked as if a door were going to be put up. Part of the closet in the room had been taken down as well. And it looked as if a lot of the sharp corners where being cut off.
"Uh… Heero… What are you doing?"
Heero looked around the room. More specifically, the mess that he had made. His face was his normal impassive. But you could tell he was a little lost for an answer as he hid his hurting thumb behind his back.
"Making a… baby… room?" He answered slowly. Unsure as to what her reaction would be. He probably should have said something to her before he started. But he was bored.
Hilde sniffed. She wasn't going to get emotional. She was stronger than that. Even if that was the most thoughtful, kind, and sweet thing Heero had ever done.
The heck with it. She broke down laughing and crying at the same time. She ran into Heero, engulfing him in a hug anyway. He could be really sweet when he wanted to be. And had to smile when she felt him awkwardly put his arms around her to sooth her.
He was still a little uncomfortable with these hugs he got from her. Most people didn't demand this much physical contact from him. Let alone get it.
He sighed and put his arms around her unsurely. Wondering just what he did wrong now? And how he was getting hugged for it? "Uh… Sorry?" He mumbled softly. Embarrassed that he was apologizing from something he didn't even know he did wrong.
Hilde grinned into his shirt and moved her hand to smack him in the back of the head. "Idiot. I'm not mad at you. I love it… I'm just so happy…" She sniffed again.
When she first learned of her pregnancy, she was afraid she would have to deal with it and go through it alone. Yet Heero stayed by her side. He'd take on the whole responsibility himself for any of his friends concerning anything, if he could. It was one of the things she loved most about him.
Wait a second… love?
"But if this is going to be the baby room, where will you stay?" She wondered aloud. Trying to change her train of thought but still not releasing him from her embrace. He was still tense. She wondered how long it would take for him to loosen up.
But wondering where he would stay sent her mind in other directions that probably would have made her blush if her face were not already red from crying. Would he be staying in her room again? With her?
"I'll probably get another apartment, and let you and the baby keep this one." He told her simply.
Hilde began to sniff again. Leave it to her to fall for a guy who harbored no feelings for her what so ever. And now he was leaving. She wailed into his shirt some more. Unaware of how wet she was making him.
"Um… sorry?" He said again. But that only seemed to make her wail more. He knew he did something wrong, but he still didn't know what it was.
Hilde shoved him away and glared at him. "ITS NOT YOU!? ITS THESE DAMN MOOD SWINGS!" Hilde yelled in his face before sniffing sadly.
"I need some ice cream." She mumbled on her way out.
Heero stood in the room for a few more minutes. Thinking about what just happened. Not that he understood any of it. He opened and closed his mouth a few times.
You know… he just didn't have a reply to that.

WuFei glared at Heero throughout the day, each and every time he saw him. It was his fault this was happening. If Heero hadn't left that stupid parenting book on the table for him to find… he wouldn't have been in this mess.
Now Sally thinks he wasn't to be a father, and is already planning a wedding. Mind you, its not that he wouldn't want to be a father… its just that he would prefer to do it on his own terms. Sally already had a time table set up for the future.
So here he was. Planning a wedding six months from now. He loved Sally. He really did. But he hadn't planned for this for a few more years. He couldn't tell her that. It would break her heart. And then she would go on to make his life even more miserable than it is now.
Walking about drearily on the streets, he stopped at a local café where he found Heero drinking coffee… and for some odd reason, looking over his shoulder and trying not to look like he was drinking coffee…
"I hate you." He told Yuy bluntly as he sat down at his table and took his coffee from him. Drinking it himself in hopes of calming his nerves.
"…Okay." Heero said slowly in response. No idea why WuFei hated him all of the sudden. They were usually on pretty good terms with one another. "Hey, that's my coffee."
WuFei glared at him. Heero sighed. Even without Hilde around, it seemed he still couldn't get a decent cup of coffee around here. "Why?"
"Because you left that stupid parenting book on your desk a while back! I picked it up and skimmed through it and Sally caught me! So now she thinks I want a kid too!" He exclaimed and finished off what was left of Heero's coffee. "Congratulations by the way. Send my Condolences to Relena."
"Why?" Heero asked, slightly confused.
"Well, she is having your kid." WuFei kindly pointed out the obvious to him.
Heero shook his head. "Relena's not having my kid. Hilde is."
"You and Hilde are in a relationship?" WuFei asked. Somewhat shocked.
"I didn't say that." Heero got up from the table, getting ready to leave. "I just said she was having my kid." He stated before leaving the café. Leaving a very confused WuFei sitting at the table.
"…"
