Thanks for all the reviews guys. Here's the next chapter.
Chp 18
Again, they had gotten into a comfortable routine. Similar to their first one, but Duo no longer went to work with Heero, he stayed home and helped the cats, which after a month and a half had multiplied to well over a hundred. Heildi had decided to quiet her job and help with Heero. Relena managed to get the government to pay her, as Duo's business was a non profit organization. The cats all seemed to obey Duo also, he could give them a simple look and they would all know what it meant.
The alarm clock beeped, and Heero reached over to turn it off. He pushed Duo lightly and sat up. "Duo get up, you have to feed your cats." He said. He leaned down the kiss Duo, but Duo moaned and turned away, clutching his stomach. "Are you okay?" Heero asked.
"Yeah, my stomach just-." Duo jumped out of the bed and into the bathroom. Heero could hear him vomiting and got out of bed, walking towards the bathroom, leaning against the door frame.
"Do you want me to stay home today?" Heero asked. Duo went to the sink and washed his mouth, taking his toothbrush and brushing his teeth to rid himself of the vial taste. He spit and looked at Heero threw the mirror.
"No, they need you to work on that huge case. I'll be fine, it's probably just the stomach flew. Heildi will be here in an hour, so I'll be okay." Duo said. He smiled at Heero reassuringly.
"Are you sure?" Heero asked moving back into the bedroom to get dressed.
"Of course. I feel better already, really." He said coming out of the bathroom.
After they ate breakfast Heero left for work, kissing Duo's forehead. "I'll be home for lunch today if I can." He said. Duo nodded and watched Heero pull away from the house before closing the garage. He went to the back to feed the cats.
-----
Duo and Heildi sat in the back yard watching the cats play and eating a light snack. Duo was looking at his stomach in an odd way and Heildi started laughing.
"What's wrong, Duo?" She asked threw her giggles. His face was comical.
"I feel nauseous." He said. Heildi stopped giggling.
"Did you eat something bad?" She asked.
"I don't think so. Me and Heero had sushi last night, but Heero is always careful with the freshness of the fish, and wouldn't he be sick too?" Duo asked.
"I suppose so, but if it is food poisoning then it takes 24 hours to kick in, what did you guys have for breakfast, yesterday?" She asked.
"Just toast and butter." Duo said.
"I don't know what to say Duo. Maybe you should go see Sally." Heildi said.
"I don't know, if I tell Heero to take me to Sally, he'll get worried." Duo said looked worried himself.
"Well you should wait until tomorrow anyway, all we know this could be a simple stomach flu, and if it is it'll be gone by then. But if it still there tomorrow, you should go see Sally. It's better to have Heero worrying about you, and take you to Sally, then this being something serious and him getting mad at you for not telling him." She pointed out. Duo nodded in agreement.
"Hey! Stop it!" Duo called out. Two cats stopped fighting and turned away from each other walking in there separate ways. Both of them laughed.

Heero got home late that night, a little grumpy from the man they had arrested and had a small bruise of his jaw. Duo immediately went with him. Along with Solo, Scythe, and Helen, his three little kittens. The funny and not so funny thing was that the names Duo had picked for them, as he swore, were completely random names.
'What happen?" He asked, gingerly poking at Heero's jaw.
"We arrested a rapist, the man went completely nuts in my arms and hit his head to my jaw, nothing serious." Heero saw. Duo shook his head and pushed Heero to the couch.
"Sit." He said and went into the kitchen.
"Are you feeling better?" Heero asked, watching Duo from the couch.
"Yeah, it went away a little after noon." Duo said, putting ice into a small baggy. He went back to Heero and sat in his lap, holding the ice to Heero's jaw. Heero put his hand on Duo's and smiled at him.
"That's good." He said. He pulled Duo's hand away and pulled him down for a kiss.
----------
Every morning for three days Duo found himself in the bathroom vomiting. He lost his appetite and he looked paler and skinner then he should have. This morning differed little form the others. Duo got out of bed and ran to the bathroom, empting his already empty stomach into the toilet.
Heero went to the bathroom as well, finding Duo leaning up against the wall, his eyes closed and his mouth opening and closing. He knelt down, looking extremely worried.
"Duo we need to get you to Sally." He said. Duo opened his eyes and looked at Heero, only managing to nod, before passing out. Heero picked Duo up and laid him on the bed, pulling a pair of pants and a shirt on both of them. He dialed Heildi's number and asked her to come watch the cats, then called Sally.
"I'm bring Duo. He's dehydrated, and he won't stop vomiting." He said quickly. He hung up before she could say anything and picked Duo up again, carrying him out to the car. He gently placed him in the back seat and got into the drivers seat himself.
Fifteen minutes later found him pulling Duo out of the car and heading into Wufei and Sally's house. Wufei held the door open for him and Sally lead him into their guest room. He laid Duo down on the bed and stepped back for Sally.
"What has he been eating?" She asked.
"At first anything he could get his hands on, then he lost his appetite. He's lost a lot of weight too." Heero said. She nodded.
"Go wait in the kitchen with Wufei." She ordered. Heero reluctantly left the room.
-----
Sally came out of the room, quietly closing the door behind her. She made her way to the kitchen looking a little out of it, like she was mentally arguing with herself.
"Is something wrong?" Wufei asked. Heero looked up at the doctor.
"Duo has a mild case of Hyperemesis Gravidarum." Sally said sitting down next to Wufei and pouring herself a cup of tea. The two men waited for her to continue. Hyperemesis Gravidarum may develop rapidly within a few weeks or gradually over a few months. Individuals with Hyperemesis Gravidarum experience severe and persistent nausea and vomiting that occur before the 20th week of pregnancy," She held her hand up to stop them from saying anything. "And are severe enough to result in progressive weight loss of greater than five percent of their original body weight. In addition, frequent vomiting may also lead to dehydration and vitamin and mineral deficit. Hyperemesis Gravidarum often leads to hospitalization to restore lost fluids and nutrients to affected women…in this case…Duo."
"How can Duo have Hyperemesis. He's a male." Heero said. Sally sighed.
"Heero, Duo's pregnant." Heero literally fell out of his chair.
"W-what!? How can that be?" He asked, completely shocked by what Sally had just said.
"Well as a doctor and a scientist I'd say J was an idiot and used female blood cells. The files show that Duo's tail actually grew, they didn't surgically attach it, same thing with the ears. It's possible that a females reproductive system grew at that time." She explained. Heero was speechless.
"If you don't want to keep the child, he can have an abortion Heero, but I would talk to him about it first." Heero only nodded not really hearing what she had said.
