Chapter Fifteen:

Trowa watched as a person with a cloak over their face began sneaking around and peeking in stuff. He got tired of this guy looking at everything so he approached him. "Hey. Do you want something?"

The guy spun around startled. "Uh no. I was just-"

"You're a girl," he said in disbelief.

"T- Trowa?"

"Who are you? How do you know my name?"

"Trowa, it's me," the girl said as she removed the cloak from her face.

"Midii," he breathed.

"So you do remember me. I thought you forgot about me for a minute there," she said with a smile. "No hug for an old friend?" she asked with her arms open wide.

Trowa was still surprised that she was here with him now, but he walked up to her and gave her a big hug. "I thought you were dead. How did you survive?" he asked into her silky platinum blonde hair.

"One of the soldiers helped me escape. I guess he felt sorry for me." Her eyes filled with tears, "I lost the baby. I'm so sorry!" She said as she sobbed into his shoulder.

Trowa's heart ached. "Shh. It's okay," he said trying his best to comfort her. He started rocking them both side to side. "I'm just glad that you're alive and here, with me."

"I tried to find you after I got away, but I couldn't even find a trace of you. No one knew where you had gone. After months of looking for you, I came upon Milliardo. He took me under his wing and taught me how to be a pirate. I thought maybe I could find you this way, and I finally have after three years of searching for you."

"I thank God for that. I have a question for you."

"What is it?"
"Have you gotten married since we've been- you know."

She smiled slightly. "No. I was too determined to find you. What about you?"

"The same. I didn't think I could ever open my heart up to anyone ever again after you were caught. I heard they slowly tortured you to death. Did they really torture you?"

She looked down and answered quietly, "Yes. They baby and I managed to stay alive until after we got out. While I was in a small town, I began having contractions. I was also bleeding a lot. The doctor thought I wasn't going to make it. I cried for a whole week after that. I wanted you their so badly," She said as she began to cry all over again.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't there," Trowa said, his voice breaking. "I should have been there." Two lone tears slid down his face.

"Hey Trowa!" Hilde yelled as she spotted him. When he turned around she saw the girl behind him. "Sorry to interrupt, but have you by any chance seen Relena?"

He quickly wiped the tears away. "Not since she walked off with Heero, sorry."

"That's okay. Sorry I interrupted. I'm gonna leave now."

"Wait a minute. I want you to meet someone. Midii, this is my friend Hilde, Hilde this is my- wife."

Hilde was shocked. He had never talked about her before. "It's nice to meet you Midii," Hilde said as she held out her hand.

Midii shook her hand and replied, "It's nice to meet you too Hilde." She gave her a warm smile, sensing Hilde's nervousness. Hilde returned the smile, relaxing a bit.

"Well, I better get going. I'm sure Relena's still with Heero, so I'll see you guys around. It was really nice meeting you Midii. Take care!" Hilde waved as she walked off.

"Should I be worried?" Midii asked teasingly.

He smiled down. "No. I've got you. There's no reason to have anybody else. Besides, she and Duo, the first mate, are seeing each other."

"Ahh, I see," she said with a sly grin, and pulled him closer. "So are you still in love with me?"

"Do you even need to ask? Of course I am! I've loved you for as long as I can remember."

She pulled his head down. "Me too," she said as she kissed him for the first time in three years. She made sure that he felt every emotion she had been feeling for the last three years. The loneliness, the sadness, how much she missed him, desired him, and wanted him.

"You guys never did care where you made out," Quatre said jokingly as he walked over with his fiancé. Trowa and Midii broke their kiss when they heard Quatre's voice.

"Quatre!" Midii yelled as she ran over and gave him a big hug. "Oh my gosh! I can't believe you're here too! You never striked me as the pirate type."

He chuckled. "I'm not. Actually I'm a so called prisoner."

"Trowa! How could you do that to your best friend!"

"It wasn't my choice, but the Captain has treated him like a guest after he found out that we were friends."

Dorothy cleared her throat and looked at Quatre. "Sorry, Midii, this is my fiancé Dorothy. Dorothy, this is Midii, Trowa's wife."

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine," Midii replied with a smile. "So when's the wedding?" she teased.

"Hopefully when we return home… If we return home."

"I'm sure the Captain would allow you to go back home after we take Relena and Hilde back," replied Trowa. Trowa, Quatre, and Dorothy all looked away. They had become good friends with Relena and Hilde. Midii looked from her husband, to Quatre, to his fiancé. She knew that they had all become close to Relena and Hilde so she said nothing of the subject.

"So, Quatre. What happened to you after I left?"

He knew what she really meant, but didn't correct her. "My family moved North of there and settled into the estate looking over the ocean. It's beautiful! You guys should come by and see it. Well, without a whole bunch of pirates trying to kidnap me," he said jokingly.

Midii smiled. "I think we will," she said lacing her arm through Trowa's. He placed his free hand on top of her hand.

"Come. We shall celebrate the return of Midii," Quatre said. "We have missed you greatly. Dorothy," he said bowing and holding out his arm to her, which she took with a soft smile. The two headed back to their room, Trowa and Midii not far behind.

"So how exactly did you know her and why did she leave Trowa if she's so in love with him?" Dorothy whispered to Quatre.

"I'll tell you later."

"Promise?"

"Of course I promise. Anything to make you happy my dear," he replied kissing her hand.

"Okay." They all arrived and entered the room.

Quatre scrounged around for some wine. Once he found it, he took out four cups and filled them each. He put the bottle of wine on the table, picked up his cup, and said, "To Midii. The long lost girl of adventure that has finally returned." Midii smirked, but toasted to it.

"To my beautiful wife who never gave up hope." Midii pulled Trowa's face down to hers and kissed him. Quatre and Dorothy started to whoop and holler at them.
