Chapter 2

Driving back to Sank was quiet for Heero. His mind was not on the radio or the inside temperature of the car; no it was on Duo Maxwell. The way he looked, talked, and even walked. Heero had feeling that Duo found his inner peace. He looked happy and at ease.

Although he did not take the time to look around the house or outside of the farm he knew it was something special. To his son it would be a paradise, he was sure of it. He wished it was that time now. He wanted to go back now. No more servants, no more talking behind someone back, no more watching for their every move.

But, for it to happen he had to go true some unpleasant moments. First on his to do list was unwanted talk with Relena, his soon to be ex-wife.

When he reached his destination he set inside his car and just looked at their home. They chose a very large house with too many rooms. Sometimes it felt to Heero like they were living in a small castle. The entire property was surrounded by a fence. You could not enter the property without identifying yourself to be let inside.

Heero knew the moment he drove up to the house Relena would be informed. The staff had the order to inform her on his every move. That was the reason why he did not seek her out instead he went straight to their bedroom and start packing. It was not much what he treasured, clothes he possesses that were comfortable so packing those was quick. Beside his clothes he took his alarm clock and personal pictures of his son and Gundam Pilots.

That was when Relena stormed into the room.

"Heero, thank God you are home. I really don't know what is going on. I got a phone call from Quatre attorney who wanted to set a date for a divorce meeting. He told me we need to get true divorce agreement and decide who gets what. I don't understand Heero, why are we getting a divorce?"she really looked surprised and all Heero could think about was "Is she for real?" but he did not said it aloud.

"Relena I was away for 2 days and all you are able to ask is why we are getting a divorce?"

"But what should I ask you about?" she asked dumbfounded.

"Let's see. You could always ask me; Heero where is my son? Where did you take him?" for example.

"But-"she started only to be stopped by Heero.

"But nothing" he replied coldly. "How did you think I would respond after I saw what you have done to our son?"

"But I did not do anything."she said.

"Let me explain it to you what you done," Heero continued.

"You let an unknown man into our house. You talked with him about our son, gave him his information's and then allowed him to take our 5 year old boy without parent supervision."

"Yes, but.."she tried

"Why did you send me away Relena? Why did I have to personally deliver those letters for you?" now she seen her errors or Heero could see cracks on her face.

"You don't understand politics Heero. That nice doctor his name is Dr. Fillips came to me with a request to take a look into our son's health. He told me he heard from other sources how strange our son was. Because he studies strange abilities in humans he wanted to take a look. He wanted to study him. He explained what he wanted to do and in what time intervals he would do it in."

"You know our son is not normal Heero. The ability to read anyone's true intentions and emotions is just scary. I am very uncomfortable around him. He is only 5 years old but he scares me sometimes. That is not normal Heero."

"After I got that request and met Dr. Fillips I was relieved. He could take a look and explain it to me. Also because I allowed him to take a look and check out our son he would owe me big time. That way I would have support from the medical branch."

Heero was speechless. He never could believe how selfish Relena really was "Did you even ask your nice doctor if his research was dangerous to a kid? Did you ask your son if he wanted to do it? Did you ask me, Relena if I allow it as his father? Did you even think about someone else not just you and your ambitions?"

At last, she was quiet.

"And you are asking me why I want a divorce? You had everything Relena. You wanted me as you husband and you got me. Then it was time to have children, so you got pregnant. And now, its your political career, that is now what's on your to do list."

"I tried to be patient. You gave me a son and that is the best thing you ever done in your miserable life. But enough is enough I have had it with you and your selfishness. I won't let you make an attraction out of our son. He is only a child."

"That is why I called Quatre 2 days ago and explain it to him what happened. He knows everything as does Wufei. I told Quatre I wanted a divorce and I want my son with me, and he promised me he would make it happen."

"He is my son too. You cannot take a mother's son. Nobody will allow that." She said angrily.

Heero knew he would have to be forceful with Relena if he wanted her of his back. "I will show you when you saw him as your son" he went to his open bag and pulled out a photo of their son "Do you see that photo; he is 8 months old here. At that time you indeed saw him as your son. But when he started to sort out all emotions and understand them he started to avoid you and you him. He never told me what it is he feels when you are in same room, but he doesn't want to look at you or even be near you. But, you know that already don't you? So, you are avoiding him".

"And do you know why you let that doctor used our cellar rooms and not some open facility? Because you wanted to avoid gossip spreading around. It's all about you and your career. So, let me pack in peace and go, we can communicate through my attorney."

Heero could tell he surprised her with his outburst so she tried to avoid him and prolonged their talk.

"I see you are too emotional to be able to talk rationally right now" she tried "let's take a break and then talk more about it later" she started to go to the door but Heero stopped her.

"Relena, I said all I wanted to say to you. I will be gone and you won't see us for a while. How long I don't know."

"What about my son. You cannot take him away from me without explaining it to him. He won't understand what is happening" She tried.

"Are you aware… no probably not; but, when I got to the cellar room and had our child in my arms he told me very quietly. "Please daddy lets go. I don't like it here anymore."" Heero really hoped Relena would get the meaning of what he just told her. "So you see, he knows more than you can imagine."

"When will I be able to see him?"

"You are his mother and I won't cut your communication with him. But, you will see or talk to him only when he wants to talk to you or when he will ask to see you. Only then will I make arrangement."

"Where will you take him?" she started.

"For now I am at Wufei's place but very quickly we both are going to Duo's place."

"You are talking about your war buddy Duo Maxwell pilot form L2 colony? L2 colony is not good environment for a kid and did he not live on streets for a while?"

"Where he lived as a kid is nobody's business" he responded sharply. "He doesn't live there anymore. He lives 5 hours out of Sank on his own land. He has a house and animals. And for a kid like ours it will be a paradise."

"I don't think it's a good idea" she started to certify she did not like Heero's plans.

"Relena because you gave me a son I am willing to send you weekly few photos of our son and his activities. That way you will know how he is doing. But if you start make problems for me and Duo I will be forced to be more aggressive. We both know I can break you and your career. Don't choose this way for both of our sanity. Now go and let me pack in peace."

"What will you do, will you bit me up?" she challenged him.

"Relena you can break someone without using force and as you know and I am expert on both. And if I am honest with you, I did not break every bone in your body for what you done to our son just because you are his mother. Now take a leave." he shouted, and she went.

Two hours later after going through his own stuff and then his son's stuff he went to his office. There he copied, signed and prepared documents for him and Quatre. When all he intended to do was done he had last call to make before returning to Wufei place.

Phone ringed two, three times before a female voice answered "Hello, Taya speaking; how can I be of help?"

"Hello, Heero Yuy speaking can I please get Winner on the phone"

"Just a moment Sir"

Heero waited for exactly 5 minutes when his phone signal was transferred to another line and Quatre's voice could be heard on the other side "Heero, good to hear from you. I was expecting your call throughout the day."

"Hi Quatre, sorry if I disturbed something" he knew Quatre has his business to run and a lot of what was happening on his colony was done on Quatre's decisions.

"You never disturb anything and you know it. I have a small business meeting but Trowa can go through it and end it without me. So, how far you got?"

The question was innocent but both know it was far from it.

"I was at Duos place today" Heero said quietly "and he seems at peace there".

"I know. And I told you that you would like it" he said proudly. "You should see it when he bought it; before he started to make changes" Heero could hear he was smiling.

"You were there?" Heero sounded surprised by that.

"No, but he send me some photos."

Heero was quite for few second so Quatre continued "I was interested to see what he bought so he took few pictures and send it to me. After that we had a chat every weekend. That way he could tell me what he was doing and what else he wanted to do. It was fascinating to follow those changes."

"I feel like idiot now" Heero said more to himself then Quatre.

"Heero, you had your family to think about and your son." his voice sounded gentle. "Did he show you his house?" he continued excitedly.

"No, not yet."

"Did you know that he made for each of us his own room? We talked for hours and hours to agree on how to equip each room considering our personalities. My room is just perfect. I love it" before Quatre could continue Heero stopped his rambling.

"I think I surprised him with my coming and I talked for a while so he would understand what is going on and why I came."

Even if Heero threw his own thought into their talking Quatre continued like he did not hear a thing.

"Be prepared, all the rooms are specially made to our personalities. You will love yours. But it should be a surprise" so no more talk about it "What is your next move?"

For few second, Heero was quiet then he continued. "Let's see, I had a talk with Relena." before he could continue Quatre stop him.

"Oh, my attorney had a little bit of problems with her yesterday. What I could understand from his report was that she was playing dumb like she has no clue what is going on and doesn't understands why you should want a divorce. So nothing much was decided. I hope you had more luck from your side."

Heero was not surprised at what he was hearing "I had to admit, it was hard to talk to her, but yes you are right she is playing the dumb card. She thinks that if she plays innocent or an idiot she will get free of what she cooked herself into, but after my talk with her she knows she won't. I told her what I wanted. I also told her you will take care of it. So next time your attorney talks to her he should be more aggressive and not let her delay a divorce. Also I signed all documents you sent me and scan them so you have them on your mail. "

"Good, I will pass them forward to my attorney. And I gave him some pointers of how he should deal with her. "

"Quatre, can I ask you for a new favor?" Heero waited.

"Sure, you know you can ask me anything. If it in my ability to help I will. Tell me" he said.

"I was hoping that with your Space Heart you could come to Duo sometime and help my son with his ability. Maybe you could teach him how to shield himself from unwanted emotions."

"Oh, Heero I was expecting something big with your formal request" he said and continued "I haven't told you yet, but Trowa and I usually visit Duo for a whole week every second month. Which week of every second month we take is randomly decided. That way it's safer. So which week of next month we will choose is not known but we are coming and then I will take a look and we will see if I can help. I hope I can! By the way Heero that is really a good idea."

"Thank God," Heero said with relief "I want to avoid what happened with Relena."

"What are you talking about Heero" Quatre asked astonished.

"I don't know for sure but my son stopped looking at Relena and never wanted to be near her in same room. Both he and Relena started avoid each other."

"Why haven't you told me anything? I could come to your place and try to help."

"I am sorry Quatre, but I was not sure of it and my son never told me directly what and why he was doing it. He never confirmed what he was feeling when he was near Relena and I did not want to force it out of him. I was hoping he would come to me on his own will.

Relena also told me she is scared of our son. That is what started all of it; if I believe her words. Maybe if I tried talking to both of them and not avoided what was happening all would be okay."

Even to Heero's ears his words sounded dejected. "We cannot change anything Heero and what is done is done. But it's good you mentioned it. We have to help him so he won't have same problems with other people." Heero thought that was it but Quatre continued "Heero for now I advise you not to let Relena near him as much. Its better that he avoid other humans for now, for his own sanity."

"I agree with you and I told Relena not to contact me or try to come to us without me knowing it before. I also told her that she will see our son only if he explicitly ask for her, not before."

"Good," Quatre replied but before they could talk more there was sound on the other side and Heero could tell that someone came into Quatre room "Sorry, Heero Trowa just come in and he needs me. Let's continue our talk some other time."

"Of course, say hello for me and good bye for now"

"It was good talk. Good bye Heero"

Heero felt no longer distressed and it was all thanks to a chat with Quatre. All in all, he done what he came for so he could go to Wufei place and tomorrow they would go back to Duos place. Heero could hardly wait how his son would react to all those animals Duo had.
