oOoOoOo
Foot steps drifted into Quatre's consciousness. Aquamarine eyes fluttered opened the stillness of the night. He tried to sit-up but the burning pain in his left side prevented any further movement.
Crickets chirped every so often mingling with the sound of the wind. The stars were out. They twinkled high in the dark sky. Quatre searched for the moon but he could not find it. /Must be a new moon/ he thought. Has it been that long? The war ended what three or fours days ago? /I couldn't have been knocked out that long, could I/
Quatre took in his surrounding bed area and realized that he was on his own bed at the palace.
/Trowa/ "No, please by the will of Ali don't be dead," Quatre prayed tears falling onto his hands.
"Now why would I be dead my Little One?" Trowa entered their bedroom with a tray of food.
"TROWA!"
Quatre went to his lover only to fall back hard and heavy against the semi-firm mattress.
"Sally said you shouldn't attempt any type of physical activity just yet," Trowa explained.
The blond gave an indignant huff. "Of course she would say that."
"I'm only saying it for your own good Quatre. You're very lucky young man," Sally said as she reviewed her chart for her patient. "Someone in your condition shouldn't have been fighting in the place," she chastised further clearly showing her displeasure of his thoughtless actions.
The couple sat in stunned silence. This was something Trowa was not privy to.
"What did-did you just say?" Quatre choked out – struggling to comprehend the information.
"It would seem that Duo isn't the only male capable of conceiving," Sally said enjoying the couple's disbelieving faces.
Their doctor pulled up a chair to Quatre's bed. Trowa sat down at the foot waiting for her to continue.
"Well…" Sally began flipping through the overly stuffed medical file that she kept on the Winner heir. Actually Duo's folder was a lot thicker than any of the Gundam pilots. "Apparently you're three months pregnant. However, you almost lost it because of the gunshot wound. I had to do an ultrasound to locate the bullet and that's when I discovered the fetus."
"A baby?"
"Yes, Quatre a baby. The bullet penetrated your side embedded near your uterus, but not to worry. It was not to close to do any damage. Although I must caution you, you have to stay in bed at least for another week if you don't you can miscarry. You lost a significant amount of blood and your body needs time to replenish the depleted supply."
Talk about feeling overwhelmed. Never before had they ever had this type of responsibility – saving the world was one thing but having a baby was something entirely different.
"Do you gentlemen have any questions?"
"Um…how am I…that is to say…how will it be born?" Quatre shyly asked. He could feel the heat coming from his face making him uncomfortable with woman who has seen and hear everything. Well not everything but close to it.
Sally smiled kindly at the Arabian. "I'm not sure how to tell you this…uh but yet…" she said after clearing her throat then turning to Trowa. "Did you notice anything out of the ordinary when you and Quatre had intercourse?"
Now it was Trowa's turn to imitate a tomato. "Er…uh, no not really. One doesn't notice much when trying to give pleasure to his partner." /Especially if you're in the dark/
The Sandrock pilot gapped at his lover. /How in the hell could Trowa say that with a straight face/
This was going to be a lot harder than Sally thought. "Okay, to put it bluntly: Quatre and Duo are known as what's called Breeders. They're rare practically unheard of until now. The gods were very picky to who they would 'Gift'. Now in order for you to become pregnant the need to breed had to be present for your reproductive system to become active."
"Are you saying that I've always had the ability to have children?"
Sally merely nodded her head.
"But Sally you never answered Quatre's question, how is he going to give birth?"
"Not to shock either of you but Quatre you have a vagina hence the uterus and all the workings that goes with it. You will be able to give birth just like a woman."
She was met with silence. Both Quatre and Trowa passed out on the bed. Sally giggled. She wondered how Heero and Duo would take the news.
The doctor got up from her chair and repositioned the lovers side by side on the bed. They will be alright, hopefully.
oOoOoOo
The dining hall was unusually quiet. Relena and Trunks were seated near the head of the long table. Since Milliardo took over is reining monarch, now sits at the end with Relena sitting opposite of him. Noin as always was seated to his right. Treize and a very pregnant Une was to Milliardo's left.
The Amazonial guard was in attendance. Zar, Kay, Mara, Saleen, and Ge were sitting in the middle. Nemesis was yet to show. Even though she's immortal the Amazon was quite lazy when it came to waking up in the morning.
Quatre and Trowa were a bit subdued – Sally promised them she would not mention any thing to the others aboutQuatre's condition. The Arabian never felt more grateful.
WuFei was absorbed in the book he brought having all ready eaten. He was enjoying the company of his friends. However, Sally kept trying to talk to him. WuFei was still on the same page after twenty minutes and not fully taking in any of the information. He growled in annoyance at the blue-eyed blonde but the woman simply ignored him.
The companionable silence was broken when Relena asked, "Where's Heero and Duo?"
WuFei had the grace to blush as did Trunks. One would think the couple would have moved into their own room to be away from innocent ears.
"I don't think they're coming - oh, Kami - I...I mean joining us for breakfast, Relena," Trunks replied ducking his head to hid his embarrassment behind a curtain of lavender hair.
Everyone laughed at the Saiyan prince's faux pas, and it was true – Heero and Duo were otherwise preoccupied with each other.
oOoOoOo
The tantalizing aroma of spicey cinnamon slowly brought Duo to consciousness. He felt a slight tug pulling him to wake-up fully. The half-god eased out of bed. He breathe a sigh of relief as Heero turned over burrowing deeper into the warmth of blankets.
Duo soon found himself standing outside of Nemesis' bedroom door. The Amazon was having an agruement with someone whose voice he didn't recognize.
"Listen to me War god! Your son has a right to know as does his husband!"
"Nemesis, Celeste would have my head if I told either one of them. It's bad enough that the Angel discovered-"
/What on earth are they talking about/
Suddenly the door flew open banging against the wall causing Duo to jump.
"Please enter Shini," Nemesis greeted.
"I hate when you do that Sis."
"I know. We were just discussing you and Odin."
Shini stared at the Amazon's guest. The man was extremely tall. Messy brown hair seemed to sway by unseen wind. A neatly trimmed goatee framed the lower part of his face, and he had the most beautiful set of Cobalt eyes. He's only seen those eyes on one person.
Feeling an akward silence fill the room as Shini openly gaped, Nemesis introduced him. "Shini this is-"
"Ares," the other said with a slight nasal monotone voice.
"Um, not to be rude or anything (but you were by staring, Nemesis interjected) but are you related to Odin?" Duo blantantly ignored the queen's comment.
Ares chuckled. "Yes, actually I am. I'm Ares the God of War and Odin is my son."
Anger. Anger was the only emotion that Shini was gripped with. "Where the hell have you been? You could have saved Odin from all the pain and suffering he went through!"
Neither Ares or Nemesis was surprised by the out burst.
"I couldn't make my self known to Odin until his powers were release and his memories returned, and that's why I'm here now," Ares explained hoping that would calm Death.
Shini was still wary of him but the feeble excuse nonetheless.
"Your Mother will be joining us shortly. There are some things you need to know."
"Yeah, like what?" Shini scoffed.
"Like why you can't extend your wings," Nemesis said noting as the young god laughed but she plowed on. "And how you are vulenable to attack now." Shinigami flat laughed until his eyes ran water.
Wiping the tears from his eyes, Shini got his laughing fit under control. "Okay, okay now let me get this straight: I'm vulenable to attack because I can't flex my wings? This has got to be the most stupidest shit that I have ever heard."
"Think about it, Death. What do you remember from your past with Odin that left you in such a state?" Ares asked.
Shini noticed that both were serious. The smile dropped from his lips. "You're not kidding, are you?" Looking from one god to another.
"No, Shini we're not. It is also the same reason-"
"The same reason why the Angel bleeds," a new voice chimed in.
"Mother!"
Celeste embraced her son. She could sense the changes in his body. Shini's visage became worried with concern for his friend. "What's wrong with Quatre?"
"He is with child."
"Qautre's pregnant?" Shini said a little jealous but happy for him. However, his purple orbs narrowed with suspestion. "So, what does him being pregnant got to do with me?"
Ares and Nemesis didn't quite know how to inform the young God of Death.
Celeste ran slim fingers through Shini's fringe bangs before softly speaking. "You're pregnant."
A pin drop could be heard in the quietness of Nemesis' chamber with the exception of Shinigami dropping to the floor at a dead faint.
oOo TBC oOo
A/N: How was that? Did you see that one coming? Now, Duo and Quatre are in a bit of a bind but Trowa knows about his pending fatherhood. To bad we can't say the same about Heero. Do you think that Duo will tell his lover about their child? Well stay tune to find out.
oOoOoOo Teaser for Chapter 16 oOoOoOo
Quatre and Trowa had to leave the ballroom first since they were receiving the brunt force of Nemesis' loss of control. Let's just say that no body had seen the couple for a few days after the event. A pair of burning cobalt eyes was piercing into a pair of lively violets.
"NANI!" Duo screamed with mocked innocents.
"Duo, you know that Nemesis needs to keep a tight reign on her powers," Heero said with a slight smirk.
"Yeah, I know Heero but you have to admit it was funny watching Q and Tro run out of here," Duo answered as his giggled turned into a full blown laugh.
"Speaking of which-" Heero approached his husband and wrapped an arm around him pulling him close for a kiss. "Let's follow their example."
