Finally Fixed

Duo lay in the hospital bed, picking habitually at the bandages on his arms. He sighed and looked over at Trowa.

"Hey, Trowa. Thank you for… everything. The nurses told me I wouldn't be here without you. I don't know how I can ever repay you." Duo smiled.

Trowa looked over with a small smile. "You're welcome and there's no need to repay me for anything. You would do the same for me. I do, however, have to tell you something. I wasn't the first one to offer my blood for you. Heero tried, but, because of all the things that J did to him, the doctors wouldn't even consider him. Don't be so hard on him, he really does love you."

"He left me. He never even tried to say no to Relena. If she asks him to, he'll go back to her. I don't have a chance."

"You're wrong. He held a gun to her after he found out what she had said to you. He hates her."

"Yeah, for now. What about when she needs him?" Duo snapped.

Quatre happened to walk through the door at that moment and glared at Duo. "You know, for someone who is in love with Heero, you sure aren't acting like it. He came back for you. He loves you. Think about that before you condemn him. He never meant to hurt you."

Quatre walked to Trowa's bedside, made sure he was okay, and then called the nurse.

"How are you feeling, Mr. Barton?" The nurse said as he walked into the room.

"Fine. When can I get out of this bed?"

The nurse looked over the chart at the foot of Trowa's bed and smiled. "Whenever you want. I just have to make sure you're not dizzy anymore before I let you walk around. We wouldn't want you falling down again, now would we?"

Quatre snickered and looked at Trowa as Trowa's face flushed bright red.

Trowa glared at his lover. "Look, it's not like I meant it. I was on my way to get some water."

The nurse laughed. "Yes, but you should have taken someone with you instead of heading out on your own and then being found on the floor of the gift shop. That could not have been fun."

Trowa leveled a glare at the nurse who stopped laughing and gulped noisily.

"You seem to be fine, you're free to leave. Have a nice day." The nurse rushed out of the room, praying to never see that man's face glaring at him again, completely forgetting to make sure Trowa wasn't going to get dizzy again. (1)

Quatre helped Trowa stand up and they both came to stand at the end of Duo's bed.

"Duo, you know we love you, but please consider forgiving Heero. He was here before you attempted suicide again. He really is free from Relena." Quatre smiled gently. "We'll be back in a little while to check on you again. I want to get some food in Trowa before he gets dizzy again."

"Quatre…" Trowa looked at his boyfriend with weary eyes.

Duo had never heard Trowa whine before, but he guessed that there was a first time for everything.

The couple walked out, leaving Duo to contemplate what he was going to do when Heero came back in.

Duo thought for a long time, but he still had no solution. He guessed that, when Heero showed up, he would listen to what he had to say and then decide.

When Heero showed up didn't surprise Duo at all. A meal usually made Duo slightly more agreeable, even if it was just hospital food. (2)

He walked into the room quietly and gazed at Duo until Duo grew uncomfortable.

"Hello, Heero."

"Duo, I… I'm so sorry!" Heero fell on his knees next to Duo's bed, his hands gently lying on Duo's bandaged hand. "I never meant to hurt you, but I thought that protecting Relena was what I should be doing to keep peace in the universe. Relena should never have said the things she did. I have always loved you. I never, in a million years, planned to marry the stupid twit. I could never do that to you. I know that I've probably hurt you too much for you to consider getting back with me, but I just want you to know that I love you and I always have."

Duo sat, stunned, as the words flowed from Heero's mouth. He had never really heard the boy say quite so much, even when they had seen each other often. It just wasn't in his nature.

"Heero, stop."

Heero's face fell when he heard Duo finally speak. Duo continued despite the look of despair plastered on Heero's face.

"Heero, I didn't want to ever be without you. I doubted us because of what Relena said, so this is partially my fault. But I've found that I live without you by my side. I find myself wanting to forgive you, even while I'm so angry that I want to hit you. You hurt me. But you also came back for me. I'm at a loss here. If you can promise me that you'll never, and I mean NEVER go back to Relena, I would be willing to let you back into my life," Duo paused when Heero's face lit up. "But, I refuse to start where we ended. You need to earn back my affection. I want to know when I give myself to you completely that I won't lose you again. I need to know if you handle that, because, if you can't, I want you to leave right now."

Heero looked up at Duo, a smile brightening his face and tears in his eyes. "I have absolutely no problem with that. You're giving me a second chance, Duo. You have no idea how much this means to me. I love you."

Duo smiled cautiously and wrapped the exposed tips of his fingers around Heero's hand. "I love you too, Heero."

One year later

"Are you sure about this, Duo? As soon as we sign the papers, it's official. No take backs, no returns, this is forever." Heero wrapped his arm around Duo's waist.

"I'm absolutely sure. I've always wanted to be part of a family. This is a phenomenal start. Are you okay with this?"

"Most definitely. This just means that you really have forgiven me and want to be with me."

Duo grinned and pulled his lover into the building. He went straight to the receptionist. "Hi, I'm Duo Maxwell and this is Heero Yuy. We have our final appointment today at 2."

The receptionist went through the files and quickly pulled theirs out. "Hello, sirs. Just wait right here, Mrs. Stapleton will be out momentarily. Just bring this paperwork in with you and you should be all set."

Duo and Heero sat, holding hands tightly as they waited for Mrs. Stapleton. Duo bounced his knee excitedly and read over the paperwork.

The door to the back office opened and Olivia Stapleton walked out. "Ah, Mr. Yuy and Mr. Maxwell, please come in."

The couple followed her into the back office and grinned at the little red haired girl who sat at a table with a coloring book, calmly coloring a picture of a unicorn until she realized the three were entering the room.

"Does this mean that you're really going to be my daddies?" The girl asked shyly.

"Yes, my darling Kumi. You're coming home with us permanently." Duo said with a huge smile.

"Yay!"

The End. That's all she wrote.

Author's Notes

And it wasn't even Heero glaring!

*Shudders* Ugh, hospital food. Ham sandwich? Sure, if you want two slices of cardboard with ham flavored hockey puck between them.

Wow, I'm truly sorry this has taken so very long! Hopefully, the ending was okay.
