Chapter One

Makoto let out a sigh. She hadn't expected for everything to end up in the place that she didn't want to be a part of. Never again did she was to be in this mansion and never again did she want to have the eyes staring at her with questions hidden behind them. He smiled in front of her, letting her know that everything was alright.

"Congratulation Makoto, this is a beautiful surprise," said Quatre, the smile secretly never leaving his face. Next to him sat his friend, his ebony brow rose curiously as he looked down at the small child. She looked heavenly, her large blue eyes looking up at him through the long dark lashes. Yes, she had been graced with the beauty of her mother, having her chestnut curls but those eyes...they reminded him of someone.

"Thank-you Quatre. It's more of a surprise to be here; I never thought I would see you all again," she replied, a hint of humor in her voice. He just nodded.

"Who's the father?" asked Wufei, bending down towards the little girl whom had her arms holding up towards him. The smile moved over her face, making him smile and give-in to finally picking her up. He turned towards Makoto, her mouth in a thin line and then back in pain at the little child tugging on his hair, only for her let out a giggle.

"I would rather not talk about it, if you don't mind," she replied. Wufei nodded in agreement and walked around the room with the lively little girl, smiling at her soft touches to his face and how her fingers kept trying to open his mouth.

"Too bad Hiiro isn't here," said Quatre, looking at the flawless expression from Makoto. She didn't seem to give any, not even at the mention of his name. "Him and Trowa are currently on a mission for Relena to make sure the peace is continued as she moves around to make speaches. He will be her within a week perhaps."

"I hope things are going well with that," she replied, a smile of amusement broke over her emotionless facade. Quatre smiled at her.

"Yes, they very much are...where are you staying?" he asked. Makoto just smiled.

"I'll be staying at a hotel," she replied. He laughed a little.

"As usual, you are more than welcome to stay here," said Quatre. Wufei turned to her as well, holding the suddenly sleeping girl in his arms.

"It is your vacation, I wouldn't mind looking after her," he said. He looked down, and then looked back up at Makoto. "What's her name?"

"Indigo," she replied, a large smile seeming to move over her face.

"Indigo?" he asked.

"Just Indigo."

Wufei just nodded as if the understand. She already didn't want to talk about the father and thus the last name would be something they wouldn't know either. Why wouldn't she let the child just have her last name instead...unless she was holding onto something.

"I would rather like to stay in the hotel," replied Makoto, watching the look of surprise wash over them. Quatre just looked at her calmly while pouring some more tea for the three of them.

"I understand that you and Hiiro left each other on bad terms but that doesn't mean that you're not welcome as well," said Quatre. Makoto just shook her head no; she hadn't wanted to remember the way that had ended up leaving each other in a fight. That was how it had always been, especially since it was over Duo as well. If it wasn't for that man, she would have had a very close friend and yet she was left without either. Due to the fight, the three of them had turned their backs on each other and she admitted that she had said some very cruel words.

"I would rather not Quatre. I don't want anything to start up once more..."

"This is my house Makoto, don't make it to where they are the ones in control of whom I have over and invite to stay. There are a lot of misunderstandings that I'm sure you all will throw aside, especially since Duo will be in awe over the baby," said Quatre, grinning. Makoto nodded. This was his house, and why should she leave because of them? She nodded.

"Alright Quatre, I'll stay," she said. Wufei smiled as he sat in the rocking chair, gently rocking the sleeping child while he couldn't take his eyes off of her. If he remembered well, him and his wife would have had a child as well...if she hadn't have died. It had been years since her death and yet he still felt the ping in his heart over it but knew it was time to move on over it. Perhaps go out looking for another woman that might show him the same respect.

Quatre looked up at the footsteps coming towards the lounge and smiled; he knew who it was.

"Hey guys! How are things..." his words just seemed to stop as he looked at the woman sitting on the couch; the woman that he had wanted, and he had given all to and yet she was sitting there on the couch in front of him once more. Her emeralds were so bright and full of life that he couldn't explain the reason for, the chestnut locks were pulled back into a pile of curls on her head, and he notice the larger her breasts had grown since the last time he saw her. "...Makoto?"

She nodded at him and he notice the diaper back next to her feet and the child sleep in Wufei's arms; his heart fell like a stone being thrown in the water.

"You've grown beautifully," he said, his voice soft and wasn't holding its normal cheerfulness. "I see that you got married and have already started with the children like your dream was."

Makoto just smiled.

"I'm not married Duo, and I never have been," she said, turning her eyes toward the bundle once more. The smile seemed grow and he smiled.

"Really...so that means you're single?" She saw the cheerfulness come back to his voice.

"Yes, I'm a single mother," she replied. He nodded and sat in a chair next to Quatre.

"Wow..." he said. "I never expected something like this to happen in a million years. What happened? Why aren't you married?"

"It just wasn't meant to be," she said. His body seemed to be relaxed finally and she could tell that he help happiness in his eyes that she was actually single. She seemed to frown inwardly inside, knowing tat he would never accept the facts that were behind the issue but she was going to put everything behind her, and spend her time having a happy vacation.

"What are you doing tonight?" asked Duo. She looked at Quatre who seemed to give a nod as if he wanted to her to go out and have fun.

"Nothing," she said.

"Perhaps go out for old times sake?" he asked. She gave a nod in response. It sounded like a great idea; it had been a long time she had been out with a man since she was surrounded by her friends trying to take care of her and make sure that she didn't exert herself while pregnant. It had all seemed to be a bit of a miracle. Not only was she the only one to congratulate but Usagi had Chibi-usa three weeks before her. It seemed like an interesting time since Pluto, at least that she knew of, didn't know anything about it.

She let out a sigh, while the thoughts continued to plague her mind once again. She couldn't believe that she would be going out with Duo, the one who had tried to kill her and the one who had been completely pissed when he found out what happened. She always thought of herself as a good girlfriend but she couldn't believe she ended up being a horrible one.

"Lets go," said Duo with a smile. Makoto nodded and knew she was going to be on a very interesting roller coaster of life...
