Ding Dong

Why do all door bells have to sound the same? Can't they come up with something original, like a movie theme…star wars….yes….like press the button and the emperors march plays…but no, every house she had ever visited had a ding dong.

"Hello?" an accented voice asked as she blinked up at the tall Arabian garbed man.

"Ah…yeah…"

"Ah, of course, master Quatre has been expecting you since yesterday evening." He said as he moved aside to allow her entry as Usagi nodded slowly and he took her bag from her, it was only a small one, she was used to packing lightly and living off what she was able to fit, it was to troublesome to take lots of things to her clients houses.

"This way please. Master Quatre will meet with you before being shown to your room." The tall mad said as Usagi nodded again as she peered up at him.

"Umm…who are you?"

"…" he stopped in his striding to look at her "Oh…My name is Rashid, I am head of security." He said finally as Usagi nodded

"Hello Rashid, my name is Usagi." She replied with a smile as Rashid nodded to her before heading off again as Usagi tried to recall the path they were taking, this place was a maze.

"He's waiting inside for you." Rashid said as Usagi listened, the child was there too, she could hear the crying louder then ever.

"Master Quatre, she's here." Rashid said opening the door as Usagi thanked him stepping into the room as her eyes fell on the crying child held awkwardly in a long haired man's arms.

"Miss Usagi was it?" the blond behind the desk asked as Usagi nodded walking to the brunette as she offered her arms as he gratefully handed the child over and it was moments before she had the girl quiet and calm.

"Oh thank god…" the brunette sighed as he sat down hard as Usagi frowned slightly before looking back at the child

"She didn't like the way you were holding her, she's hungry and wet." She said as Duo made a face.

"You mean like…"

"Yes, like…" Usagi sighed as she looked at Quatre.

"You're the employer?" she asked as the blond stepped out from behind the desk

"Yes…thankyou for coming so promptly." He said as he approached her holding out his hand in the western style of greeting. "Quatre Raberba Winner."

"Father?"

"Me? No of course not…" he cried flushing deeply, he really was an innocent wasn't he…at his age too which she assumed to be similar to her, 22ish.

"But you're paying for the services?"

"Yes…the father is a friend of mine. The pay is as standard for your hiring company, and extra for anything you deem it's needed for. We merely need you to take care of the child and teach Duo here how to care for her so hopefully we don't have to make you stay here for too long."

"Duo being?"

"Me." The brunette said as Usagi looked at him before sighing.

"Well, I need somewhere to change her first, and also, where can I get clean diapers?"

"Ah…we were hoping you could help us with those…" Quatre stuttered out as Usagi sighed again and nodded.

"Well then…I have some emergency ones in my bags, do you have a changing table? Or indeed any surface I can put her on to change her?"

"ah…there's a desk in the next room. Duo go with her, you need to lean this."

"But-"

"No buts Duo, please just go." Quatre cried out, he was tired and beginning to get cranky from the lack of sleep from a night of baby crying he had been forced to endure.

"Alright." Duo grumbled as he motioned for the blond to follow him and she followed after him into another room as he watched as she placed the girl on the table before puling some things form her bag as she laid out a mat on the table.

"Changing mat. For her to lie on, and to stop mess getting everywhere." Usagi explained as she set the baby on it and began to peel her clothing from her before opening the diaper and grimacing, she had been sitting in the mess for a while and was red raw from diaper rash.

"Next time, she needs to be changed immediately, this here is a rash made from the diaper being on too long with mess in it, it's incredibly sore and painful for the little one." Usagi explained as she carefully cleaned the small child and replaced her nappy with a clean dry one as the girl gurgled happily up at her, her small arms waving at her new friend.

"That is so gross." Duo muttered his hand covering his nose as Usagi tied off the small plastic bag around the nappy and dropped it in the rubbish as Duo made a face as if to throw up as Usagi sighed rolling her eyes, men.

It was a difficult adjustment for the boys, having both a child and a female around all the time was rather upsetting to their routines, they had to be much more careful about their job and where they went at night, Usagi had been put in a room with the baby on the other side of the mansion to reduce her chances of finding out to a minimum. Finding out that they were the gundam pilots.

"Oh come on!" Usagi sighed as Duo stared at the baby on the newly acquired changing table before he shook his head.

"I can't, I really can't do it.' He cried as Usagi sighed and approached the crying baby as she began to change her.

"You have to overcome this fear of changing her, she is your daughter is she not? You need to know at least the basics about taking care of her."

"I know that…but…still…doing that…is just…" Duo shuddered at the thought of cleaning the dirty baby as Usagi sighed again, she seemed to be doing that a lot lately, something about these boys…was just not right, she could feel it in her soul, or maybe that was just her old senshi senses going haywire, it had been a long time indeed since she had used them…not since before the first war. A war the senshi could not interfere in, a war that had destroyed her future.

"Usagi?" Duo asked as he noticed her go quiet and clutch his daughter tightly, as if she was scared to let go.

"Eh? What?" Usagi asked snapping from her dark thoughts as Duo touched her arm.

"You alright?"

"Of course, just tired, the little one has been teething I believe, she's most restless at night." Usagi said making excuses knowing Duo wouldn't know she was too young to be yet teething.

"Oh really, growing fangs finally are we?" Duo asked as he chuckled letting her curl her fingers around one of his larger ones as Usagi smiled.

"You get along well with her, if you could just learn to take care of her completely…" Usagi sighed before noting to herself to stop sighing, it was a bad habit.

"Yeah…we get along fine…just the…diapers thing…" Duo muttered as Usagi chuckled and handed the child over to Duo, he had fast grown used to holding her.

"Ah…do I talk to you or Quatre-san about having a day off?" Usagi asked as Duo blinked at her

"Day off? Like not doing diapers?" he asked as Usagi chuckled

"Not everything revolves around diapers you know Duo. Yes a day off, I need to go get some personal things from the shops."

"Then take the little one…" Duo cried as Usagi sighed as she studied him, he was really terrified of being left alone with the baby.

"Fine." Usagi sighed as she internally slapped herself for sighing once again.

"Oh god thankyou…you are truly an angel…I seriously think Q-man stuffed up the numbers and called the angel hotline to get you." Duo praised as Usagi eyed him, was this why some poor woman had gone and gotten pregnant by him.

"Duo-san…I would prefer you got your hand off my behind." Usagi muttered as Duo flushed and chuckled withdrawing as he instead fixed his hold on his daughter as the door opened.

"Duo, time." The grumpy one, Heero said as Usagi blinked as Duo hurriedly handed over Usagi and said his goodbyes as he hurried out as Usagi blinked after them, what did they do all the time, always disappearing.
