Chpt. 2 The Fight
"I just seriously don't like the idea of her going to his party! I know there's not gonna be any supervision and that kid's friends are of age to drink and he is too! I-I...don't want anything to happen to her." Heero said, sinking down onto the bed defeatedly, sighing deeply in the process.
Duo walked over to sit next to Heero. "Hun...nothing's gonna happen. I know you don't trust Kaelin much..." Heero gave Duo a hard look and folded his arms. Duo sighed and said, "...Okay...you don't trust him at all, but you should trust Kitli! She is YOUR daughter and YOU taught her responsibility and how to keep her cool in stressful situations so she could make the right decision. She won't do anything stupid Heero; she's far too smart."
Heero sighed and hung his head in defeat. "I...I guess I'm just..."
Duo wrapped his arm around Heero's shoulder and asked, "Just what, love?"
Heero turned away, trying to hide his face so Duo wouldn't see his tears. "I'm just scared okay! I don't want her to get hurt! I couldn't live with myself if she had to go through anything that we did!" Heero sobbed.
Duo puled Heero into a tight embrace and whispered to him. "Heero, love, the war is over. She won't have to fight and she won't get hurt. YOu don't have to worry about it anymore."
Heero sobbed into his lover's shoulder, clutching to him like a helpless child, fingers digging into his back. For the first time, Duo really realized hwo hard it is for Heero to let go; of the past, of the war, his training, and got a glimpse into Heero's worst nightmares; and he began to think, 'Maybe this isn't such a good idea after all. I mean...I know Kitli wouldn't do anything stupid, but...for Heero's sake...maybe she shouldn't go.'
Somewhere in Duo's train of thought, his husband had fallen asleep and his daughter had come into the room. "How long've you been there hun?" Duo asked quietly, trying not to disturb his slumbering lover.
"Long enough." Kitli said with tears in her eyes. "Dad...I'm so sorry. I-I didn't mean to make Otousan cry! I-I didn't kow! I-I..." she explained, starting to cry.
Duo held out his free arm to her, and Kitli ran into his embrace. Duo held her tightly and kissed the top of her head softly. Quietly he told her,"It's not your fault Kit. You couldnt' have known. It's okay. He's not upset with you."
Kitli sniffed and looked up at her father. Seeing the smile that graced his lips, she wiped her eyes on her pajama shirt and smiled slightly. Duo smiled again and wiped the tears from his little girl's cheeks and kissed her forehead.
"Do you want to stay in here?" He asked rubbing her back in small, soothing circles. Nodding, Kitli looked up at her father asking if she could with her eyes.
Duo nodded and smiled. "Of course you can love. Here, lay down." He said, pulling back the covers to let her crawl under them.
After tucking his daughter in, Duo tucked Heero in and crawled under the covers himself between the two most important people in his life.
"I love you Daddy. I love you Otousan." Kitli said, ciddling up close to her father, laying her head on Duo's shoulder.
Duo smiled and kissed the top of Kitli's head and then the top of Heero's head and replied,"I love you too, Kit. Love you Hee-man."
Heero grunted in his sleep, rolled over and curled up around Duo, resting his arm across Duo's stomach and his head on Duo's chest.
Sighing contentedly, Duo slowly drifted off to sleep holding his daughter and the love of his life close.
