So after spending half an hour convincing Heero that the baby was fine and she didn't need medical attention; Relena decided they should go for a walk around the palace grounds.
Relena and Heero made their way out the french doors and on to the balcony.
"Don't you just love the fresh air and smell of the gardenias the moment you walk out here," asked Relena as she took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"It's defiantly different from the smell of motor oil and a gundam hangar," replied Heero.
Relena let out a small giggle as she latched on to his arm and pointed at something on the wall of the balcony.
"Look its a cute little squirrel. I want one!"
Heero looked down at her with a hint of a smile at how much of a child she could be sometimes.
"Relena, that squirrel is not an animal for domesticating," replied Heero.
"Awe but I want it!"
"Relena I have taken on countless soldiers and mobile dolls. But there is no way in hell, I would ever be able to catch a squirrel and domesticate it," said Heero with a that's that kind of attitude.
"But you would never know unless you try, please" she said begging.
"Not happening! Do you have any idea how many diseases those things carry. Nope! Not around you or my unborn daughter," said Heero as he started walking towards the balcony steps.
"Are you scared," said Relena in a teasing manner as she started laughing.
"As a matter a fact, Yes!"
Relena's giggles immediately stopped as she stared at him in awe.
"There is no way the perfect soldier is scared of a little squirrel. Are you actually telling me you fear that small little rodent over there," she asked as she pointed at the squirrel.
"All right, All right so I'm not 100% fearless ok?"
"Just wait right there ok," said Relena as she started walking towards the squirrel.
To Heero's surprise the squirrel was not running away. Relena then put her hand next to the squirrel on the ledge as the small animal climbed up her arm onto her shoulder.
Relena started walking towards Heero as he keep taking steps back.
Relena giggled as she finally got close enough to Heero.
"Heero I'd like for you to meet Chipper. He's been my friend since I moved here."
Heero looking stunned and confused was speechless.
"Wait, a minute you set me up!"
Relena laughed till she swore she couldn't breathe. She laughed so hard that Chipper jumped from her shoulder to the balcony ledge.
"Yes actually, Duo told me about your phobia the other day. I just couldn't help myself."
"I'm gonna chop off that idiot's braid and strangle him with it."
"Oh my God, now that would be a sight for sore eyes," said Relena as she burst into a fit of giggles.
"Oh speaking of a sight for sore eyes, you would love to hear this interesting fact."
Relena then paused her laughter for Heero to continue.
"I actually without a doubt know I can wrap the braid around his neck one complete full time without running out of hair," stated Heero with a slight smirk.
"And how may I ask do you know that?"
