A Baby's Lullaby: Ch 5
It had been a week since Duo and Wufei had returned home to find their beloved family broken and distressed. They had focused all energy on finding baby Miya before Heero and Zechs fell into such deep pits of depression that they would never see them happy again.
Wufei was standing at a perventers desk going over some new files on the 'Peace craft baby case' as it had been named. Duo, himself and the ethers had all reverted back to gifts that made them so formidable during the war to find the beloved child. Duo came rushing in his limber body full of energy as he jumped over furniture and people. He stopped dead in front of Wufei.
"Chang! We've found her! We've found her! Come on!" Duo grabbed his husband by the wrist and pulling him out the building. Wufei was right behind him.
They got to 1000 Alexander Drive within ten mints thanks to Duo's manic driving skills. When they got their they pulled their guns from their holsters and barged into the rather nice looking double wide mobile home. They found Oz insignias all over and pictures of a mobile suite that had a heart with a arrow painted on the side of the head.
Ether perventers and members of the police force followed them like stink on shit. Wufei gave orders to search out the house. Duo ran up stairs gun cocked and ready to shoot should someone give him the resin. As soon as he topped the last step, he heard the cry's of a baby. And not just any baby. He new those soft cry's. it was Miya! He fallowed the sound to the last door on the left. Kicking in the door he found a young woman in her mid twenties jugging by the way she looked cradling Miya and crying.
"Freeze!" Duo yelled, and indeed the girl froze, well as best she could being that she was shaking with what seemed to be fear.
"Hand me the baby and don't try anything." Duo's voice was unnaturally cold and harsh as he spoke to the girl.
"No! You can't take my baby!" The girl yelled clutching Miya closer and shaking her head fiercely.
"She's not even your kid! She was stolen right out of her bed!"
"No! Mark found her abandoned and brought her to me!"
"NO! She is my niece and her real parents are going crazy missing her. And I worn you I was a gundam pilot so don't make me shoot. Trust me I wont miss my target. I'd rather not shoot you with my niece in your arms so just giver back to me and we can do this the easy way." He healed out his arm waiting, not lowering his gun. The girl looked from Miya to Duo and back. She moved hesitantly and handed Miya's crying form to Duo. He cradled her lovingly he smiled down at her and she stopped crying and started to giggle. Duo swung his head, throwing his braid over his shoulder and Miya eminently grabbed a hold of it and started to wave it and pull.
"WUFEI I HAVE HER! I HAVE HER SHE'S OK!" Duo yelled down.
"BAKA!" Miya squealed.
"Ya baby it's me your good old uncle Duo, lets get you back to you father he has been just sick you know." Duo cooed to Miya. Wufei and several ether perventers came rushing up the steps and into the room. Wufei went up to Duo and took Miya from his husband's arms and looked her over. She kept a tight hold on Duo's braid as she smacked Wufei in the face.
"BAKA BAKA!" she squealed. Wufei laughed hard and hugged his niece close. He handed her back to Duo and escorted him out. As soon as they exited the mobile home a black SUV pulled up and Heero jumped out of the passenger side door before it even came to a complete stop. He ran strait to Duo. He stopped just in front of his best friend.
"She's just fine Heero. Here take her I bet she missed you just as badly!" Duo beamed. Heero took Miya from Duo's arms and held her tightly, cradling her as closely as he could get her. Zechs came up behind Heero and wrapped his arms around both his love and his child.
"DA . . .DA, DADA!" Miya squealed. Heero's head shot up and looked at Zechs. He picked Miya up so he healed her in front of him. She held at her arms trying to grab at both Zechs and Heero.
"DaDa! Dada!" she giggled. The tears that had been falling down Heero's face as soon as he made it out of the car fell heavier. Zechs own choked laughs coming to his ears.
"Susan! Mama will get you back baby! I promise Susan I promise!" The girl yelled as she was towed to a police car. Heero clutched Miya back to his chest as he watched the girl. Zechs healed him tightly in reassurance.
"After three weeks of being missing, the infant daughter of Millard Peacecraft was finely found. The woman of which the abductor had left her with had clamed the child as her own and that she had legally adopted the girl. But after extensive blood and DNA test, all results in which proved the child to be the girl to be Sir Peacecraft's daughter. . . . . In ether news . .."
Quatre turned the TV off after the end of the news report. He sat the remote down on the coffee table and reclined back into Trowa's arms. He gave a grateful sigh. It had all really been do to Duo and Wufei. They had token complete charge as soon as they had gotten home and had every thing in order and Miya back in Heero's arms within a week. Heero and Zechs had yet to stop thanking the two of them. Trowa rubbed his stomach. Three months. He was now three months pregnant. And he felt like he was six!
His family jeans had struck again! He hadn't gone to see sally yet but he knew for a fact he was caring more then one child. Though he wasn't going to tell Trowa just yet, not till he solid proof from sally. For if he knew his husband as well as he thought he did, Trowa would do nothing but worry till he did go see Sally. But all sings pointed to the fact that there was more then one.
Fact A) the kid never stopped moving. He was always feeling flutters of the kid moving. It wouldn't really start kicking or anything for at least another couple of weeks.
Fact B) He was at least, at least two time's bigger then Heero had been when he was three months along.
Fact C) he was tired! Always tired, no matter if he hadn't done anything he just couldn't stay awake or it would be the exact opposite and he couldn't sleep. It was getting very tiring.
"Are you alright little one? That is the fourth time you have sighed like that. Is their something you need or want?" Trowa asked bring Quatre out from his thoughts.
"OH! No I'm fine I didn't realize that I was sighing." Quatre said with a warm smile.
"I had just been thinking about the baby." He clarified. Trowa smile at him.
"You know I think you were right" Trowa said as he caressed Quatre's already showing stomach.
"Oh about what?"
"I believe that you are having more then one. Why don't we stop by Sally's clinic on the way home tomorrow?" Trowa suggested.
"Were are we going?" Quatre asked confused.
"Baby shopping with Duo and Wufei." Trowa said gently.
"Are they having a baby?" Quatre asked excitedly.
"As far as I know, no. Duo just wants to take you shopping and Wufei and I are going to tag along." Trowa nuzzled Quatre's neck. He scooped the blond up and cradled him.
"Come little one, it is your bed time." Trowa said as he headed up the stairs. As they passed Heero and Zechs room they heard the wonderful sound of laughter and the giggles of a certain little Miya Yuy-Marquis. A welcoming sound to hear after what had happened. Of course they had added extra protection around Miya now. The window in Miya's room had a lock on the inside. Their was no way to open the window from the outside. And security sensors had been placed threw out the house. So hopefully this would never happen again.
Trowa laid him down on the bed to find that his little angel had already fallen asleep in his arms. He pulled off Quatre's pants and undid his dress shirt before slipping on the oversized blue sweater that he wore to bed now- a day. He was very self conches since he had started to gain waist size do to the baby. Trowa undressed and curled up to Quatre. Quatre turned so his back was to Trowa and snuggled closer. Trowa smiled, he wrapped his arms around Quatre his one hand going to rest on the swell of Quatre's stomach. He smiled as he felt the movements with in that little dome of flesh.
Trowa awoke to the sound of someone knocking on his bedroom door. He unwound his legs from Quatre's and got up in his boxers. He opened the door to find a very tired looking Wufei standing their in a pair of tight black sweats.
"What's wrong?" Trowa asked sleepily.
"I need help."
"Why what's wrong?" Trowa asked becoming worried at the distressed tone in Wufei's voice.
"Duo is really sick. I need help getting him to the hospital. I went to go asked Heero and Zechs but when I got to their door I decided not to bother them." Wufei said.
"Wasn't . . . ."
"No they put her in her own bed so she won't get use to sleeping with them." Wufei replied rubbing his forehead.
"How bad is he?"
"He's got a high fever, he's been waking up in the middle of the night early morning throwing up and he's complaining that the mussel in his abdomen are killing him." Wufei said crossing his arms and looking down the hall to where his and Duo's room was.
"Sound's like he's pregnant." Trowa said with a cocky grin. His grin broadened when he saw all the color drain from Wufei in shock.
"But surly it could not make him this sick."
"Quatre was really sick for a couple of weeks. Go and get him and I'll get Quatre and meat you at my car." Trowa said, Wufei nodded and rushed to his room. Trowa closed his door and walked to the bed. He got dressed and found a pair of light sweats for Quatre before he walked over to the sleeping beauty. He sat a gentle firm hand on Quatre's shoulder and gently rocked him.
"Hmmm, Trowa , is 'something 'rong?" Quatre asked as he slowly sat up with Trowa's help.
"We got to take Duo to the hospital." Trowa said as he slipped Quatre's feet into the legs of the sweats.
"What! Why what's wrong!" Quatre demanded as he stood. Trowa pulled the sweats up and they started to the door.
"By the sounds of what Wufei descried to me he's developed the early sings of pregnancy." Trowa said that quirky grin back. Quatre gasped and a hand flew to his mouth. Once they were down at the car Trowa turned it on to warm up as they waited. They didn't wait long, Wufei rushed out with Duo wrapped in a thin bed spread and cradled in his arms. He laid Duo in the back seat and got in, setting Duo's head in his lap. Trowa made quick time getting to the hospital and once there Wufei carried Duo in to find Sally leaning forward over the reacceptance looking at the computer screen.
"SALLY!" Quatre hollered. Sally raised her head and when she saw them standing their in there night cloths, Wufei with Duo wrapped up and cradled in his arms she rushed over.
"What's wrong?" she demanded.
"He's sick. That's all we know." Trowa replied being the calm one.
"What do you think is wrong?" she asked.
"Well the symptoms that Wufei told me sound suspiciously like he's pregnant." Trowa said. Sally cracked a smile. She dashed and brought a gurney over.
"Put him on and we'll take him to a examining room and run a couple test." Wufei did as told and fallowed closely next to the gurney.
Duo awoke to the beeping of a I.V. machine and to some one holding his hand and brushing his bangs back. He opened his eye's to see a widely smiling Wufei.
"Oi, Chang what am I doing here?" Duo asked his voice slightly raspy.
"You were pretty sick so Trowa and Quatre brought us to the hospital love." Wufei said his smile threatening to engulf his face.
"Ok what has you so happy?" Duo asked slightly annoyed that his husband could be smiling so broadly when he was here lying in a hospital bed.
"Oh nothing to big . . . . . . . . .Daddy." Wufei's smile widened as he saw Duo go pale and loose all hope of coherent speech. Duo laid his hands on his stomach so that his thumb and index finger created a diamond around his navel.
"You mean . . . . . . . I'm . . . ." Duo said in a faraway voice.
"Yes Duo, we're going to have a baby, your pregnant, that's why you were so sick." Wufei kissed Duo's forehead.
"By Gods do you know how much I love you." Wufei murmured.
"I have a pretty good guess. When can we leave?"
"As soon as Quatre and Trowa return, after Sally gave us the results of your blood work they asked if she could take a look at Quatre."
"Oh is he ok?" Duo asked gaining a bit of concern for his friend. Just then Trowa walked in caring Quatre.
"He's just fine he just fainted after the news." Trowa said he himself looked rather pale.
"Oh what news?" Duo asked as he sat up.
"Triplets." Quatre said as he opened his eyes lazily. They held this bright lovingly gleam in them. Both Duo and Wufei's jaw dropped.
"W . . . .what?" Duo asked again.
"I'm having triplets. Three boys." Quatre said quietly. They all smiled. Trowa nuzzled Quatre lovingly before kissing him. Boy did they all have news for Zechs and Heero when they got home!
