An: I'm doing good, aren't I? I'm just a role this week! At this rate I'll be finished with the story in another couple weeks. No, I don't want that! I won't be able to write next week, anyway. So I'm catching up for time lost and time that will be lost. So enjoy while you can!

Warning: A little tiny bit limey.

Ch. 11 – Surprise, Surprise!

"I don't feel like I even know you today." Heero sat on their bed watching Relena pace back and forth in their room.

"You just don't know everything that's going on."

"Are we in some sort of love/hate relationship?"

"We used to be. Did it change while I was unconscious?" She shot back.

"One minute you're melting into my arms, and the next you won't even tell me, your captain of security, when you have a doctor's appointment? And then slam the door in my face when I ask you about it?"

"I did not SLAM the door, and I was very, very busy."

"Too busy for me, but not too busy for your brother."

"Heero!" She stopped and stared him in the face. "I am under a lot of pressure right now, so whatever you want just say it. Don't play false sympathy or good cop bad cop or anything. Just tell me what you want and leave me alone."

"I just want to know what's wrong."

"I don't know what's wrong!" – At least I'm not sure I know what's wrong…and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing…and… -

"Fine." Heero moved away, pushing past her to get out the door.

"Heero…" She sniffed, eyes closed, tears lacing her lashes.

"Yes?"

She turned and faced him. "Can you just hold me?"

He moved back to her and wrapped him arms around her, holding her close, breathing her in. – You smell like strawberries..

"Oww.." She squeaked.

"What?" He jumped, letting go.

"Nothing." She put her hand on her chest and turned away. "They're just a little tender for some reason."

Heero put his hand on her shoulders and began to massage her gently. "Maybe I can work out all the kinks, then."

"Mmm…" She sighed, closing her eyes and rolling her head back to brush against him.

He leaned over and captured her lips and allowed his fingers to trail down her arms and slide to her hips, then inward toward the three small buttons which held her skirt on her body.

She arched her back, taking in a deep breath, and he pulled her closer. His fingers worked nimbly, now used to the ornate buttons on Relena's clothing. With its latches freed, her brown plaid skirt fell to her ankles.

She gasped as if she were actually surprised and turned around, wide eyed. "Heero Yuy, you are a very naughty boy." She pretended to slap him, but her slap turned to a loving cupping of his face.

Heero couldn't help but stare. Before him stood the love of his life in nothing more than a crème blouse which seemed to be fitting her extremely well tonight and crème lace panties which had garters attaching to her hosiery. She was breathtaking.

"Hey," She giggled, "don't you know it's impolite to stare?"

"Oh, is it?" He placed his hands on her back and traced his fingers down until they rested on her perfectly proportioned bottom. "But how could I stand not to stare at something as beautiful as you?"

"I love you." She kissed him, trying to convey it in more than words.

He picked her up, and she wrapped her dainty legs around him. Heero carried her over to their bed and gently laid her down. "And I love you, too."

-----------------

Relena fidgeted, trying to keep her bottom warm against the will of the metal table. – Why do they insist you wear paper gowns? What purpose does it really serve?

"Well, Mrs. Yuy, what exactly seems to be the problem?" The doctor looked so kind and trusting with her deep brown eyes and easy-going smile. It made Relena relax a little.

"I've been very tired lately, getting headaches, my breasts are a little tender…"

"Mrs. Yuy, when was the last time you had your period?"

The thought hadn't crossed Relena's mind. – I was due for it over a week ago…-

"You're not suggesting…"

"I would suppose you and your husband haven't been trying to start a family, hmm?"

"No…no, no. We…we haven't been married a month!"

"Well, I'd just like to take a urine sample. If it comes back positive, we've got our answer, if it comes back negative, we'll run some blood work." The woman smiled and patted Relena on the shoulder.

"It's going to be all right, sweetie, whatever happens. There are alternatives…"

"Like what? Abortion? How dare you even suggest that!" Relena then realized what she'd said and covered her mouth. "I'm so sorry. I just…to kill something so innocent…"

"Some mothers feel just the way you do. Sadly, a lot of them don't decide they feel that way until after they have an abortion. Most of them learn to cope, but a few of them suffer life-long physical and emotional damage from it."

"I could never bear the though of killing mine and Heero's child. Though this isn't an…opportune time, every child is a miracle."

"Well, I'll go get you set up." She stood and walked gingerly out the door. "And feel free to put your clothes back on." Relena eagerly complied.

- Pregnant, a baby…my what will Heero think of this? Am I ready to be a mother? Is Heero ready to be a father? He's just barely gotten used to being a husband, and I a wife. Now, a baby.

A nurse came back in the room and handed her a cup. "Go a little, catch the middle, don't overflow."

"Thank you." Relena's thoughts swirled over and over until she thought she might be sick, but before she knew it, she was back in her room patiently waiting for what her future held.

"Mrs. Yuy." The doctor came in once more, flipping through papers, with that same tranquil smile.

"Yes?" Relena held her breath. – Yes? Yes?

"Congratulations, Mrs. Yuy, we'll schedule you an appointment with the OBGYN to start monitoring your pregnancy."

And with that, Relena fainted.
