Chapter 6
Heero followed Relena to her room as Zechs gave him a glare that seemed to arise form the flames of hell. Noin then noticed her husband's stiff figure and evil look towards Heero.
"Let Them talk," said Noin as she put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
Zechs turned to his wife, gave a protesting grunt, and walked over to a waiting room chair.
"Yeah, I mean what's the worst that could happen? I mean she's already pregnant… can't get more consequential then that," replied Duo as he instantly regretted his statement.
Meanwhile in the hospital room…
"Relena… Would you like to talk about it," asked Heero
"Do you mean about how we are having a baby or are you wanting to discuss how u blatantly called me whore," questioned Relena with disgust dripping off the final words of her statement.
"How about we discuss this in the morning when your feeling better, but for the record, you should know I've never apologize for anything. However I am sorry for my previous accusation. Now I'm gonna go do some damage control outside. Just get some rest," said Heero as he tried to walk towards the door to exit.
"Stop right there Heero Yuy! You can't say we will talk about it tomorrow, say you're sorry and just walk out of the room. I demand we talk about this now," said Relena with a horrible imitation of his famous death glare.
"Good night Relena," He said as he walked out the door.
At that very moment the sight that greeted Heero Yuy as he left the room made him wish he had stayed put.
Zechs had Duo by the throat strangling him as Hilde and Noin tried to break it up.
Everyone else was watching the waiting room TV trying to ignore the loud scene behind them. Heero then walked up to Trowa and the others and asked a simple yet appropriate question.
"Do I even want to know?"
Trowa looked up at him with the look that said it all and yet he answered anyway.
"It's the usual Duo's sense of humor is getting him killed."
"Ah, understood then," Replied Heero as he sat in the waiting room chair next to Trowa.
"So how did the talk go," asked Quatre as he leaned over to peer past Trowa.
Suddenly the room got quiet as everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at Heero. Duo then took this opportunity to slip out of Zechs's grip and hobble his way over to Heero with a black eye.
"Yeah buddy how'd it go? By the way thanks for coming to the rescue. Some best friend; I could have used you over there," said Duo as he pointed to where Zechs was still red in the face from anger.
"You look like you were handling it ok," said Heero as he grunted.
"Is that so? Well I think you're next so be prepared. You're on your own pal," said Duo as he sat down in a huff.
"So how bout my previous question," asked Quatre.
Once again all eyes were on Heero. He huffed as he responded, "We are talking about it tomorrow."
Zechs made his way over to Heero stomping his feet the whole way.
"So you knock up my sister and suddenly have nothing to say?"
"She needs rest Zechs," replied Heero angrily as he stood up.
Zechs then got right into his face as Heero just stood there ready to take on the soon to come punch right to his face.
"MILLARDO!"
Everyone turned to see Relena standing on the outside of her hospital room door.
"But Relena…"
"No buts I already told you once, and now a second time if it hits a third you will never see your unborn niece, EVER!"
Relena then walked back into her room and slammed her door.
Zechs crossed his arms across his chest as he plopped down on the chair next to Duo.
"Huh, never thought I'd see the day the perfect soldier got protection from the dove of peace," said Zechs softly but loud enough for everyone to hear.
"I heard that," replied Heero.
"Well no shit Sherlock, I think I said it loud enough for the nurses station to hear," said Zechs as he stood up with anger.
Heero then stood up and walked over to Zechs.
"Listen you obviously don't realize that you are obsolete and worn out. I however am not and could still take your ass down on any battlefield. Now I would say let's take this outside however there are many reporters waiting like wolves out there. So unless you want to tarnish Relena's reputation, I suggest you sit down and shut up."
It was then Noin's turn to intervene as she got in between the two. She forcefully pushed her way in front of Zechs as she reprimanded him.
"Millardo, I understand we are in a hospital and that they could easily attend to your soon to be inflicted wounds but how about we give the hospital staff a break," said Noin as she grabbed his arm and pulled him in the direction of the coffee machine.
