Eternal: Chapter 2
Could it really be? This woman is my daughter?! No! I've never slept with a woman before in my entire life!!
The woman who called herself Hikaru stood up after a few minutes & brushed herself off. Her eyes were a dark blue, her skin like that of a corpse, with blonde hair as vivid as though light were constantly pouring from the sun. She couldn't be mine, yet for some reason she looked a lot like Relena...
Again Hikaru looked at me rather confused; it seemed she couldn't understand why I didn't remember her.
"Now let me get this straight - you're my daughter and Relena Peacecraft is your mother?" I asked.
"Yes, that's correct Dad," she replied. "I hope Mom is still alive as well. I'd love to see her again!"
Trowa remained silent for a while then finally turned to me, his eyes now begining to mist up with tears. "Please Quatre...what she's saying can't be true..."
"No it isn't! Trowa I love you and you know I'd never cheat on you just to sleep with someone else, especially Relena!"
Me and my big fat mouth - I knew I should've kept it shut.
The next thing I knew, Hikaru gasped in shock & slapped me hard on the cheek. "How dare you say such a thing about Mom!" she cried. "She's told me so many times about beautiful it was when you made love to her! Granted she never went into deep details but she always said you held her & whispered how much you loved her."
Trowa couldn't take it anymore & with an angry yet hurt look on his face, he turned away & left.
I called out to him & begged him to stop, that this was all a mistake, but he wouldn't listen. From that moment on, I was dead to him.
Come on baby, dry your eyes
Wipe your tears
Never liked to see you cry
Won't you please forgive me?
I swallowed hard as I watched him walk away: the only love I've ever known was leaving me & all because of this crazy accusation!
Shaking my head in disbelief, I decided to take Hikaru to where we used to live & explain this to the other former pilots.
That would turn out to be a huge mistake.
The moment I had stepped inside the house, everyone looked at me with disgust.
"Way to go, Quatre," Duo mumbled.
"How dare you do such a thing by cheating on your mate - your life-mate no less," Wufei chimed in, not looking up while he was polishing one of his cherished swords.
"H-How did you - ?"
"Trowa called us on the phone & told the whole story," Heero replied. "For now, he'll be staying here and he doesn't want to see you."
"You guys don't get it! I've never had sex with Relena or any other girl! Trowa's the only one fo - "
"Yeah yeah, heard it all before," Duo interupted. "Why don't you go running into the arms of your whore and get the fuck out of here before I give you an instant sex change.."
With that, Duo abruptly shoved Hikaru & I out the door & slammed it in our faces. Hikaru for some reason was oblivious to all of this: all she kept talking about was how happy she would be once she was able to meet "Mom". Trying so desprately not to cry, I decided there was only one person left to see...
"WHAT? THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR CHILD?!"
Those were the words Relena Peacecraft screamed right after she spit out whatever it was she was drinking while I told her the story. Meanwhile, Hikaru was smiling like she was a kid again, hugging her "mom" & telling her how much she missed her & everything else that went through her mind.
"Relena, I just don't know what to do. I've tried talking to the others but they don't believe me," I said.
"Oh they're going to believe me once I explain everything," she replied as she started sipping her drink again.
"Yeah right. If they're not going to believe me, what the hell makes you think they'll believe your story?"
"Because I'm special," Relena said as she winked then chuckled. "Seriously Quatre, I'm going to take care of this. I'll have a DNA test arranged then we'll prove once and for all this woman just isn't our daughter. Don't worry about owing me either - we'll just say it's on me."
"Since when have I owed you anything?" I thought. For now there was nothing left for me to do but leave this in her hands.
Two weeks later, the results of the test had arrived. Relena somehow managed to get everyone together - including Trowa - back at their house. Trowa just looked on the ground while Hikaru sat next to me, rather quiet with her hands folded neatly in her lap. After a few minutes, Relena stood up & began to speak, and as if on que, Heero groaned in disgust:
"I suppose you all know the story up until now. You have this woman show up who claims she is the result of some one-night-stand or something between Quatre and I. Furthermore - "
"Oh for fuck's sake Relena! Shut the hell up & get on with it already!"
Surprisingly enough, this came from Trowa who quickly blushed a bit.
"Well fine!" she said as she ripped the envelope open & read it. "See? It says right here that we're - WHAT?!?!"
My glance went to Relena's suddenly pale face. "W-What's the matter?" I asked.
She said nothing but fearfully handed me the paper: what I read shocked me.
According to the results, Relena and I were indeed the parents of Hikaru Winner.
But...that was impossible! I've never even shared a damn bed with her, let alone sleep with her!
Shaking their heads - and probably figuring out what the results were - everybody left with angry looks on their faces. Trowa however was the most hurt of all. Tears streamed down his face as he stormed off to his bedroom.
"H-How? This test has got to be wrong! They must've given the results of someone else's test! Oooh, some heads are gonna role by the time I'm done with those idiots!" Relena cried as she crumpled up the paper in her hands. Feeling rather silly for doing this, I asked her if I could stay at her place for a while since I was obviously no longer welcomed there and with a smile on her face she agreed. Hikaru followed me too of course since I couldn't just leave her with no place to go: daughter or not, I still felt like I had the obligation to be kind to her.
What I didn't know was that same day, Trowa had decided to come over to Relena's house to talk things over with me; unfortunately, when he found me it was in an unusual predicament: we were on the bed, with Relena holding me in her arms & seemingly talking about sweet things. Trowa slammed his fist on the wall so hard it bled, and I looked up to see him in the doorway, now licking the blood off of his hand.
"T-Trowa, it's not - "
"Fuck you Quatre. Just get the fuck away from me!" Those were the last words he said before he left, crying yet again.
'Trowa, it wasn't like you thought..' No longer able to hold back, I fell on my knees to the ground & cried miserably.
I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
To fill this space of emptiness
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes
Little did I know that just a few rooms down from us, Hikaru had overheard the whole thing.
"Everything is going smoothly. Soon, my brother, your death will be avenged..."
