"Hello Duo, it's Sally, I have some important information concerning Heero's pregnancy."

Duo silently handed the phone to Heero, unusually serious for a change.

Heero brought the phone up to his ear with a slight frown "Hello? Sally?"

"Finally! Heero, I've been doing some extra research, analysing the blood samples you gave me during your first appointment."

Heero sighed loudly, impatience overcoming him "and?"

Sally paused uncertainly "Well Heero, I have pretty conclusive evidence that your pregnancy although much like a females will only be for a duration of six months instead of the usual nine."

Heero had paled considerably at the news and Duo touched his arm gently "Heero? Everything okay?"

Heero cleared his throat breaking out of his stupor and interrupting Sally's ramblings "Six months, are you sure? Alright thankyou Sally."

Heero hung up the phone gently and sagged against the couch behind him, placing a hand on his stomach he whispered just loud enough to be heard "Six months."

"Huh? What's six months?" Duo asked glancing at Wufei and Quatre for guidance but he was only met with the confused stare of Wufei and the worried gaze of Quatre.

Heero lifted his head revealing watery eyes "Sally said my pregnancy would only last six months."

Duo reached to put his arm around Heero only to be pushed away "I need to be alone." Heero quickly made his way out of the lounge heading towards the sanctuary of his room.

Wufei suddenly frowned "Why did Zechs answer his home phone if he's meant to be living here?"

Trowa left Noin's townhouse with a satisfied smirk plastered across his face, shoving his hands deep in his pockets Trowa strolled the footpath reliving every second of the last four hours, recalling the way Noin arched into his touch, the feel of her breasts in his hands, the way she would whisper his name over and over again and how she tasted faintly of honey.

Trowa quickly crossed the street to where he had parked his car; a block away from Noin's to ensure no one knew he was with the blue haired girl.

Entering the car Trowa started the engine, the smile still not leaving his face.

Quatre looked up as he heard the front door open "Trowa is that you?"

Quatre ran to the hallway to see his lover putting away his coat "Trowa! How was your sister?"

Trowa smiled at the shorter blonde "She's fine, I'm helping her with her new act so I'll be going there again tomorrow."

Quatre's face fell "But, Trowa, I thought we could go somewhere together tomorrow."

Trowa shook his head "Maybe another day 'kay Quatre? Anyway I'm gonna go take a shower." Trowa walked past his smaller lover leaving him standing alone in the hallway.

Quatre stared at his lovers retreating back "he didn't call me little one."

Quatre slowly climbed the stairs and stopped outside the bathroom door listening to ensure the shower was still running, after listening for a few minutes Quatre tip toed into the bedroom he shared with Trowa and picked up his mobile phone and quickly dialled a number.

"Hello? Catherine? It's Quatre, I was just wondering if Trowa had come to visit you today?"

Quatre lowered himself to the bed, as the girl answered, "I see, you haven't seen him all month thankyou Catherine."

Quatre ended his call and buried his head in his hands as sobs racked his body.

"Q-Quatre what's wrong?"

Quatre looked up to see a very uncertain and embarrassed Heero standing in the doorway.
