One year later
For the first time in two years, Duo was loving life.
Hayate, now 2 years of age, was fidgeting on the hard wooden pew, on her left. A small squawk caught her attention. Duo looked over her son's head at her husband who was handling their six month old son. Duo almost giggled at the sight of Heero caring for their youngest child, but didn't dare. She didn't want him to say his famous killing line or to draw unwanted attention to them.
The peace and quiet of the country did wonders to mend the former Death Scythe Hell pilot's battered body and soul. Duo never learned of the miscarriage Relena had caused, when she stabbed Duo, and with any luck Duo never would. Now, Duo and Heero with their two sons sat in church watching the proceedings of Quatre and Trowa's daughter being blessed.
Everyone was in attendance – Sally and WuFei, Zechs and Noin with Milliardo and Lucia, Treize and Une, lastly with Heero and Duo plus their two little boys.
Once the ceremony was completed they followed up with dinner at Quatre's mansion.
oOoOoOo
The weather was a little breezy but it didn't put off any of the rambunctious group of toddlers and kids.
Duo dropped the diaper bag to the concrete patio floor as best as she could while maneuvering herself into one of the lounge chairs. She knew she would have trouble trying to get out of the low chair if she had to make a potty run.
Sitting down on the chair next to her, Heero handed Duo the baby to feed being careful not to put too much weight on her swollen stomach. After working the fastenings to the maternity shirt, Duo had Odin comfortably suckling at her breast. All was right with her world until a shadow made her shiver.
"Hey, Trinity! You're blocking my sun," Duo called up to her tall friend.
"Ha-ha, very funny, Duo."
A beaming smile was shot toward the former Heavyarms pilot.
"Duo, we do have a nursery for you to feed him in."
"I know, Tro, but as you can see I'm too big to want to climb all those stairs. I'll be out of breath by the time I make the fourth step."
Trowa said nothing else knowing that she was in the same predicament when she was pregnant. Leaving the couple to enjoy their son, Trowa went in search of her husband.
Sounds of joyous laughter could be heard around the wide open grassy yard, but none disrupted Heero and Duo. With one hand on his son's mop of dark chestnut hair and the other on his wife's protruding tummy, Heero was also keeping an eye on Hayate. The ex-Wing pilot was in heaven – his family was growing in leaps and bounds. Not three months after giving birth to Odin, Duo announced that she was pregnant for a third time.
And apparently Trowa made the same announcement a few weeks following Duo's. Everyone laughed when Quatre passed out. Trowa was just thankful that he wasn't holding the baby.
Sadly, WuFei and Sally were unable to conceive. It seems that when Sally was held captive by Oz and beat-up, it had damaged one of her ovaries and her uterus. They were successful with the sperm and egg joining, but she couldn't hold them long enough to be considered a viable conception. But with medical advancement in fertility treatment they should be able to have kids of their own.
Plus, adoption was always an option if the latter didn't work.
The people of earth adjusted to Treize's re-establishment into power with little to no fuss. A press conference was held a week proceeding Relena's funeral. Treize kept Duo's name out of the papers and for good reason. Otherwise her work as a field agent would be over as well as Heero's.
The Yuy's were still on a leave of absence and just recently returned to the L4 colony in time for Quatre and Trowa's daughter blessing ceremony.
oOoOoOo
Finally, after being away for months, Heero and his family were home. Natalie took little Odin and Hayate to put them to bed while Heero did the same to Duo.
Setting in the bed, Duo heaved a sigh of relief. Heero had once again taken up to rubbing her stomach, which caused her to laugh from time to time. Soon the tender touches turned into heated lingering strokes.
oOoOoOo
The darkness of the room didn't impede Duo's vision. There was no moon shining tonight nor would there be on any other night. The lights on the colony merely faded giving a twilight appearance to the artificial sky. Pulling the sheet closer around her bare body, Duo glanced back at her sleeping husband.
Heero turned over in his sleep feeling for the warm supple body that should be juxtapose to him but wasn't. He came up behind Duo securely wrapping slender strong arms around her expanded middle – not minding in the least about his nakedness.
Duo leaned back against Heero's finely chiseled body, shivering in delight of what said body was doing to her own not mere hours ago.
"Are you okay, koi?"
"Yup, just great. Why are you up?"
"Looking for you, so I can ravish you again," Heero replied taking a nip out of an exposed shoulder. Duo slid up and down as best as she could to create friction between them. Heero led his beautiful Shinigami back to bed.
For the rest of the night and well into the morning was showing how much they meant to each and how they over came one woman's jealousy.
oOo owari oOo
A/N: This is it. Sorry for taking so long to post, but I was stuck at the lemon scene and believe it or not I was inspired by Vergil and Dante.
Hope everyone has enjoyed this short little re-visit of Heero and Duo. Thank you all for staying with me to the very end.
Until next time...
