Chapter 5
Next Morning…
As Relena woke up she called the girls. "Hello," Hilde asked tiredly. "Hilde it's me Relena." "Oh hey." "Look I don't really want to put this on you but Heero won't let me go out and he won't come with me to the drug store and I think I'm pregnant." "What your what…" "Pregnant" "Oh my god from Heero." "Possibly yes is this asking to much."? "No it's fine." "So Hilde can you go to the drug store and get me a test," "Alright, but I still can't believe you might be pregnant." "Well let me tell you something you better deal with it because it's possible and I think Heero really hopes I'm not." "Alright the store opens at ten so will you be home." "Ten why so late," "Well for one it's Sunday." "Oh yeah," "Any way will you be home." "Hello didn't I just tell you that he won't let me out." "Oh yeah well I'll see you at about five after." "Alright bye." "Bye."
Then around 10:15…
"Where is she oh god." All of a sudden Relena felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her neck. "Don't worry she'll be here soon," Heero said as he rested his head on her shoulder. "Heero if I am pregnant will you help raise our child," Relena asked more calm now. "Relena I will help you raise our child and love it as much as I love you." "Oh you're so kind lately and I love you for it." "Well I love you too Relena, my love." Those last few words made her heart melt. Suddenly the doorbell rang. Relena was about ready to run to the door, but Heero stopped her from answering it as he walked towards the door. He answered it only to find Hilde and company at the door. "Hey Heero where is Relena," "I'm over here," she answered glad to see her friends. "Well we went to the store," Hilde said as she lifted a brown paper bag. "Oh thank god," she said as she took the bag gratefully. "She pulled out a box she opened it quickly; to find instructions and a peace of paper to bite down on. She quickly read the instructions and bit down on the paper. It was red to begin with and then once she took it out of her mouth it was blue. Everyone screamed and laughed with joy as they realized that she was actually pregnant. "Everyone was so happy but Heero was still kind of in shock. He was still trying to figure out how this could of happened. Well it's not like I'm not happy it's just a big shock to the system. "Heero what's wrong," asked Relena as she looked at his face. "Oh nothing, it's just shocking," he said slightly depressed. "Yeah but I don't get it how could something shocking put you in a state of sadness." "I don't know it's just …" he trailed off as he started thinking to him self. Soon the quietness was becoming unbearable for Relena. "Heero, dear are you okay," she asked concerned. "Yeah I'll be fine I just need some time by my self." "But…" she said as she started to protest. "JUST GO!" he yelled. "Okay" she said in a calm voice. She then fled to her room as tears sled down her face. Suddenly the rest of the guys came in with a very unexpected surprise Millardo and Noin had come back to visit. "Hey everyone were back and look who we bumped into." Duo replied as they entered the Gundam manor. Hilde took Duo a side and started explaining things. "Look Duo I know you don't know this but Relena is pregnant." "WHAT" "Shh, yeah anyway Heero's not taking it to well and if Relena's brother finds out I don't think things are going to get any easier for Heero." "Oh no what do I do." "Shh let's just keep it on the down low and we'll see how it all plays out." As they suddenly looked up they noticed that everyone was in a huddle except Noin Zechs and Heero. Soon everyone looked up and was able to focus on the situation at hand. "Now then why don't you two make your selves at home and I'll just get us some tea." So Hilde headed for the kitchen unknown to their gust that she was heading up the kitchen stairs to see Relena. Hilde finally reached her bedroom door and knocked softly. "Relena can I come in," asked Hilde in a worried tone. She got a reply from what seemed like a poor innocent crying girl. Hilde then walked in with some very helpful advice. "Listen Relena I know you have every reason to be mad at Heero right now but I'm afraid your gonna have to suck it up because your brother's here." "What you mean he's here as of now." "Yes Relena and the worse part is if he finds you crying or finds out your pregnant I'm afraid Heero won't live to help you raise your child." "Oh my God your right I can't let him find out." "Anyways you should go down there before he gets suspicious." Soon Hilde and Relena were on their way downstairs. Relena washed her face so that her crying wasn't noticeable. Relena then entered the room where her brother and sister-in-law were. Millardo went directly over to her and hugged her. "Relena I've missed you, how have you been holding up," he asked concerned for his little sister. "I'm fine," she answered trying to look cheery. Next it was Noin's turn to hug her. That was when Noin had noticed something was wrong. "Relena why were you crying," "What," Relena said trying to cover up the truth. "Well your face is sweaty from the pressure of tears flowing and your eyes are unusually clowed." "Okay I'm not going to lie to you guys" she said as she looked at Hilde and the girls shaking their heads in a warning way. "I'm pregnant," "What," yelled Zechs. "By whom," asked Ms. Noin? "Uhmm…" Relena was hesitant after seeing his reaction. Suddenly out of the blue Dorthy chimed in. "it's Heero." replied Dorthy. Relena turned around and gave a look that said do you have a death wish by any chance. But instead of Millardo going nuts he hugged his little sister and spoke words of happiness. "I can't say I'm proud of what happened but at the same time I'm happy that out of all the guys in the world you chose one with a warriors spirit that will be able to protect you no matter what." "I must say I never would have thought your reaction would be like this," replied Relena. "Well the thing that's really bothering me is why were you crying I mean knowing you I should think you would be happy that you are bringing a new life into this world," said Ms. Noin with curiosity. "Oh it's just that Heero seems to be not to excited as I am." "Well why not," Zech's asked. "I don't know but I think it has something to do with finding out that he is going to be a father." "Well something I've learned about him is he never shows any signs of joy," Noin said. "But with that he makes it hard for me to know whether he cares or not." "Listen to me Relena if there is one thing I've learned about Heero it's that he cares for you a great deal and he may not be able to show it but trust me he really does care. The other thing I think that's getting at him is not the shock but think about it have you ever seen him with a child maybe he's afraid he won't know how to take care of a child." Suddenly Duo stepped in "No I don't think that's it at all in fact I think I know what it is. Not to long ago I remember Heero telling me something that he had never told anyone before. Thing is during the war Heero was sent to destroy a mobile suit factory on one of the colonies and the morning he planted the bombs he meat a little girl. The little girl asked him if he were lost and he responded with saying he had been lost ever since the day he was born. Anyway the girl told him how sad that was but mentioned how she wasn't lost at all in fact she was taking her puppy Mary for a walk. Then later that night he detonated the explosives. The impact was so great that a mobile suit stationed right next an apartment complex fell over and destroyed the complex. Anyhow in the morning he scanned the wreckage to the same dog he saw with the little girl lying there dead so he could only assume that the girl was gone too. And that's why I think he maybe afraid of being a father cause to this day the image of that defenseless little girl's death still haunts him." "Oh my god I never knew that so you mean he's not upset that I'm having his child," asked Relena. "Of course not I think he's just afraid he may let down his child just as he did before." "Well I have to go talk to him," she said as she went up the stairs. She softly knocked on his door. "Come in," replied Heero. "Heero can talk to you," "sure," he replied aware she was there. "Listen Duo told us about the girl and her dog." Heero stated mumbling under his breath damn friend can't even keep his mouth shut. Relena listened to his words intently "No it's not his fault Heero," "No of course it's not it's my fault for being such a screw up." "Heero listen to me don't blame your self for what happened. Just think of this as a fresh start we have our own child on it's way and this way you can make up for anything you did wrong in the past by guiding or child through the times of need." "Yeah I guess your right it's just if I wasn't a good influence for a child I barley knew how do you know I won't be a failure at this too." "We will deal with these problems when they come but for now let us deal with the matter at hand and that is that my brother is down stairs and he wants to talk to you now perk up." "You mean Zechs knows our unfortunate situation." "Well first off it maybe unfortunate for you but not for me and yeah he does know so what are you going to do just sit there dumbfounded or get up and go down stairs." "You know you're very attractive when you're mad." "Yeah well sweet talk me later as of right now I want you to march right into the living room and talk like every other human being on the face of the Earth." "Alright." Somehow Heero had just given up hope and decided that a little bit of conversation may help. Finally Heero and Relena appeared in front of everyone. "Heero may I talk to you alone for a minute," Zechs asked of him. "Sure why not." They walked into the same room together and started to talk. "Listen Heero I'm glad you and Relena are together don't get me wrong but if you do any thing to hurt my little sister I will show you no mercy the next time I see you so take into account what I just said alright." "Okay fine." The two of them walked out of the study and walked into the living room again." "Anyways," said Noin "Now that you two are going to have a child shouldn't you guys get married." Heero had thought of that but the moment Ms. Noin mentioned that situation he decided to take action so in front of everyone he spoke up. "Hey everyone just as Ms. Noin had mentioned it is important for a child to have a mother and a father so I have something for Ms. Relena here." "Heero then pulled out a small velvet black box. As it stood Relena was already excited having a child but now she was going to marry the father of her child so as predicted Heero opened it. Then as predicted he asked the question she was dieing to hear. "Relena would you do me the honor of becoming my wife," "Oh of course Heero," she said agreeing to his question. Everyone was happy for the now engaged couple. "So when's the wedding," asked Catherine. "Well I think we should plan it for about a month from now. Sound good Relena," asked Heero. "Sounds fine by me," she replied. Relena couldn't be any happier for once she has what she's always dreamed of a loving husband and child on it's way. "Catherine would you like to be my brides maid," asked Relena in hopes that she would say yes. "Of course Relena if that's what you want for your wedding I'll do it." "Thanks," replied Relena. "You guys I think there is something you forgot," Dorthy stated. "What's that," asked Relena. "We're all house bound so how the hell are we going to have a wedding." "Well that's a no brainer," said Catherine. "Yeah all we have to do is order the attire over the Internet and have the wedding here," said Hilde with perfection in her voice. The month passed by quickly and the wedding was scheduled for the next day. All of a sudden Noin came bursting through the front door. "Good news everybody I have established the situation with headquarters and they have decided to let Relena and Heero out of their house to go on a proper honeymoon." Relena squealed when she heard the great news. So she and Heero went upstairs and booked a plane fight to Hawaii over the Internet. The next day came by fast and the wedding was about to begin. Relena had spent the night at the girls so that when she showed up for the wedding it would be a big surprise. Suddenly it was time everyone took their positions a Quatre played the piano. As Relena walked down the stairs and into the living room Heero was stunned. Relena was wearing a strapless white dress that had a slit up the left side of her leg. She did not wear a vial instead she wore a white rosed tiara. Heero couldn't believe the sight before him and was shocked at how beautiful she looked. She held a bouquet of red roses. Soon she reached the end of her walk and was ready for any thing. "You look fantastic," Heero whispered "Thanks" she replied with a slight lower whisper of her own. The priest ran everything smoothly. And by the time the wedding was over everybody was ready for the small reception they had planned. Too much surprise Hilde caught the bouquet and Heero patted Duo on the back. "Looks like your next buddy." Duo swallowed and looked at Hilde. "Oh god I'm gonna have nightmares over this one." Heero laughed at his buddy's sarcastic remark as he headed over to Relena. "So you ready to go dear our flight leaves in about an hour or so." "Of course Heero but let me go upstairs for a moment really quick." "Go a head," he urged. Relena ran upstairs as fast as she could well aware that she was being followed by her new husband. "Okay Heero come out already." Heero appeared out side her bedroom door. "Relena you aren't by any chance having second thoughts about our trip are you." "No it's just well Hawaii is a pretty populated place this time of year so how do we know I won't be in danger, around people I don't know." "Well for one you got me." "Yeah but that's all I seem to have I mean what else do I have." "Well you have our child on the way and let me tell you I think that our kid will be lucky to be born from the strongest person I know." "You really think so," "Relena listen I love you and I would never lie to you but I think you are the strongest willed person I know and I love you for every bit of it." "I love you too," she said as she looked deep into her husband's deep eyes. She suddenly leaned as if to make sure he was telling the truth and he excepted every bit of it. He kissed her so passionately that she felt she had died and gone to heaven. Suddenly their was a knock at the door and Zechs entered the room "Relena can I talk to Heero for a second," "Sure," she replied and left the room and shut the door on her way out. "Heero just thought I'd warn you that if you do anything to hurt my sister in any way I will kill you." "Understood but just thought I'd tell you I would never do such a thing." Thirty minutes later they had arrived at the airport ready to go to their honeymoon. Everyone wished them a safe trip and a fun time. Suddenly the announcer called their flight and they went on their way. Fourteen hours later they had arrived in the Hawaii national airport. "So Heero did you book us a hotel," she asked curiously. "Nope, even better," he replied. "Okay so where are we going then" "you'll see," he replied. Finally they reached a large house. "Where are we," Relena asked wondering why they had stopped at a house. "We are at my house," he said "your house," she asked puzzled. "Yeah when I was just fourteen my father went to war and my mother waited everyday for his return. One day as we were watching the news about the war the door bell rang and a telegram came from the army reserve it was from the general of the platoon my father was in. It had said that my father had died in battle and that the general was very sorry. My mom had to get a job to support me and any ways months later my mom just couldn't carry on any more I came home from school to find that she had . Plus since my mother and father were each an only child I had nowhere to turn to. The army was sad to have caused my mom the amount of pain that in the end killed her. Plus my dad made a friend named Toko when they fought together and he and social services helped support me till I could get a job. Lucky for me the mortgage was paid off when my mom died so I only had bills to worry about." "I'm so sorry I never knew. I mean I knew you were a war orphan but not in that sense." "Well anyway you want to go inside or gawk at my unusual story." "Inside it is," yelled Relena happy that Heero had brought her here. "All right then," he said as he carried her to the door. Once inside Heero put her down on the couch in his living room. At this point in time it was 7:30 yet Relena had yet to be tired.
