I waddled up the stairs to the apartment that I shared with my husband, Heero Yuy. This was a huge task since I was six months pregnant. If it had been five months ago, I would have jumped the stairs two by two. It's faster that way.
I had a doctor's appointment with Sally Po regarding my pregnancy. I mean it wasn't everyday that a gundam pilot was going to have a kid. And seeing as I was malnourished as a child, good Dr. Po wanted to make sure that the baby was going to be ok.
I stopped in the stairwell and took a deep breath. This would've been easier if Heero had been here with me, but he said that he had to work and that there was no possible way he could take today off. I believed him. I mean he was my husband.
"Hey Mrs. Yuy, do you need some help?" I heard a friendly voice call out. I turned around and our neighbor, Jack McGurby, was heading up the stairwell. I smiled.
"Jack, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Duo? I'm too young to me a Mrs. And I'll be fine. I just need to make it up these stairs." I nodded my head in the direction of the top of the stairwell.
"And where is that husband of yours? He should be out here helping you." Jack said as he stood beside me and crossed his arms.
I laughed. "He had to work to pay the bills."
"Then you should have had someone go with you. Next time you have an appointment and Mr. Yuy can't make it, let me know." Jack offered.
"I will Jack. Now if you excuse me, there is a couch in my apartment calling my name. Bye Jack!"
"See you around Duo." Jack said as he got off at his floor. I sighed and looked up the two more flights I had to go before I was to my floor.
I started up the stairs again. I wonder what was so important at the Preventers that Heero had to go into work today. I mean, Une knew about this appointment and how hard it was for me to get around nowadays that she should have gave Heero off today.
I really wanted to pop this kid out now. I loved being able to move around with ease, but with this basketball belly, that was next to impossible. Sally had threatened to put me on bed rest until the kid popped out if I continued to move around as much as I have.
I leaned against the wall as I finally reached my destination. Now the next task was getting to my apartment which was at the other end of the hallway. I just couldn't help but think at how much I wanted the house that Heero promised me right now. It would've been so much easier to get in and out of than our apartment complex.
I took a deep breath of air and began to waddle down the hallway. I hated the fact that I looked like a penguin when I walked. I loved the creatures to death, but there was no way in hell I would walk like them on purpose. It was a good thing that my best friend, Trowa Barton wasn't here to crack a joke about this. He found any excuse to make fun of me during my pregnancy. I guess it was to get back at all the things I had done to him during the war. Who knew that Bang Boy had a sense of revenge.
As I approached my apartment, I could hear noises coming from the inside. What the hell? No one was supposed to be home, unless Heero got off work early which would be the only explanation. But then if he did get off early, why didn't he stop by Sally Po's to pick me up?
I grabbed my key out of my purse and slipped it into the lock. If I wasn't so concerned right now, I would laugh at how dirty that sounded. I turned the key and turned the doorknob slowly, it had a fashion of creaking now and again.
I opened the door and peered into the apartment. It looked safe enough and I could hear the noises better, it sounded like someone was having…sex. I took a deep breath and counted to ten before I entered the apartment. I wanted my head to be clear for the visual I had in my mind.
I didn't register my surroundings at all. My mind was on one thing, the bedroom that I shared with Heero Yuy. As I approached the room, I noticed that the door was open and I carefully snuck a glance inside. My suspicion was proved true. Heero was in there having sex with none other than Relena Peacecraft. I turned around and marched out of that apartment, making sure I slammed the door in the process.

Anyone who says a pregnant woman can't move lies. I tore out of the apartment complex like a bat out of hell. I fished around in my purse for my cell. I knew it was dangerous to use it while driving, but damnit I needed to call Sally. I had her on speed dial for emergencies and the occasional girl talk.
"Dr. Po speaking." Sally always answered the phone the same way every time.
"Sally it's me, Duo." I told her.
"Duo? What's wrong?" She asked.
"I just caught my husband in bed with Relena Peacecraft. Sally I need your help. I want to disappear so well that no one will find me, not even Heero Yuy. Sally work me a miracle and make me dead." I said in my Shinigami voice.
"Damnit Duo, keep Shinigami under control. You're pregnant and this isn't the best time for Shinigami."
"I know Sally. But she's trying to protect me from the pain. Sally I'm going home and you can't stop me. Just please fake my death." I told her in a tired voice.
Sally sighed. "I hope you know what you're doing. Just please do me a favor and take someone with you. Trowa is right here, please take him?"
"Fine, tell him to meet me at the shuttle port on Johnston Avenue." I said as I hung up on her.
