*Warning* Ok guys, like I said, I do not do FULL lemons, but there will be some lemony/limey scenes in this fic, thus the rating. Be prepared for that. Other than that, the usual warnings, you know, bad language and stuff.
*Disclaimer* I hate having to say this every time, it's depressing. However, I DO NOT OWN GUNDAM WING OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS!!!
He should never of come to the Sank Kingdom. Of that, he was positive. Why he had ever agreed with Quatre was beyond him. He knew it had been a bad idea the first time Quatre had mentioned it, during the battle.
// "Heero! We should go to the Sank Kingdom!"
"What? The SANK Kingdom? Who? US?!" //
Heero stilled cringed at how stupid a reply that had been. He'd answered his own questions with more questions! But then Noin had suddenly showed up carrying his Buster Rifle, and things had just gone from there. Now, Heero found himself not just AT the Sank Kingdom, but also a student at the academy. To make matters worse, he and Quatre were the ONLY male students there. Then the girl with the weird eyebrows had shown up...Dorothy Catalonia was her name, and she was related to Duke Dermail, which made her a suspicious character. Heero sighed and glanced towards the door. He'd been doing that a lot the past couple of minutes. He knew for a fact that the reason was only a few rooms away. SHE had been the main reason he hadn't wanted to come to the kingdom in the first place. He'd been ready to leave as soon as they'd arrived, the look SHE had given him when he'd exited the plane only increasing his desire to bolt. And yet, at the same time, it had been that look (A/N: You know the one, where Relena rests her chin on her fist and smirks up at Heero on the stairway ramp thingy with her eyebrow raised) that had caused his brain to cease functioning in the Perfect Soldier mode and allow his hormones to run wild. Thus, he had followed HER back to the palace like a mindless puppy following its owner. And now, here he was, lying on his bed restlessly, and hoping, despite himself, that SHE would sneak into his room like all those times before. As he glanced at the door AGAIN, it occurred to him that SHE wasn't coming.
Heero's eyes narrowed. She...Relena...was probably doing it purposely. Baiting him to go to HER room. It was probably a test or something. Heero flipped over on the bed again, clad in only his spandex, and buried his head under a pillow. He laid like that for a minute or so, before peeking out from under the pillow at the door again. Sighing exasperatedly, Heero sat up and brought his knees up to his chest, hugging them with his arms. He glared at the door, willing her to come. Nothing.
'Damn it!' Heero thought, punching the pillow next to him. 'This is so...pathetic! What is wrong with me?!' He didn't need an answer to that. He could go weeks without seeing her and sleep fine, but with the knowledge that her room was only feet away, it was much more difficult. Heero tried closing his eyes and sleeping, but images of their previous nights together danced through his mind, doing nothing to help the situation. Cursing again, Heero opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling. Minutes passed before Heero ripped the blankets off of him and stalked over to the door. He paused in front of it and glanced back at the clock. It was two in the morning; everyone would be asleep. Grabbing his standard green tank top off the floor, Heero threw it on and cracked open the door. There was no one in the hallway, but he could see a stream of light pouring out underneath Relena's doorway down the hall.
'Ahh, so she IS still up,' Heero thought as he crept down the hall to her room. Stopping in front of the door, he wrapped his knuckles against it softly. Hearing a quiet reply from inside, he pushed the door open and stepped in, closing it behind him. Heero glanced around the room and spotted Relena sitting in a reclining chair reading a book in the low lamplight. She looked up at him, and her eyes widened slightly. Heero did not miss the look of triumph that flickered in them briefly, and he scowled.
"Heero," Relena said in greeting. "What can I do for you?" she asked, pulling an air of innocence. Heero glared at her. "What?" she asked again, blinking her now wide eyes.
"Relena," Heero growled. Relena placed the book on her nightstand and stood up from the chair. Heero looked her over briefly; the red nightie she was wearing did nothing to help his situation. It was spaghetti-strapped with a low front, and went to about mid-thigh.
"Heero, it's two in the morning. What do you need?" Relena asked once more, casually walking over to him. He still didn't reply. "Nothing? Well, in that case, I'll be going to bed now. You know where the door is," Relena said, sauntering over to the bed. The big, extremely comfortable looking bed.
'Much better than the dorm room beds we were on before.' The thought flitted through Heero's mind suddenly, and he shook his head slightly to get away from the direction his subconscious was taking him. By this point, Relena had pulled back the covers on the bed and was staring at Heero. She sighed.
"You know Heero, you really shouldn't have worn spandex." Heero blinked, and felt his cheeks heat up. It didn't take a genius to figure out what she meant. He just crossed his arms, "hmphed," and turned away. Relena smirked at him. "Well?" she asked, sitting down on the bed. "What do you want?" Heero blinked. She had used her seductive voice. Once again, she was not helping the situation any. "No answer?" Relena fell back onto the bed. "Ok then, you can stand there all night." Relena smiled to herself as she heard soft footsteps coming across the room. Next to her, the mattress shifted beneath the weight Heero added when he kneeled down on the floor and folded his arms across the bed, staring at Relena. She rolled over so that she was facing him, and giving him a nice view down the front of her shirt. "WHAT do you WANT?" Relena asked again, leaning forward to capture Heero's mouth with her own. He eagerly returned the kiss, happy he hadn't had to say anything. Or so he thought, until Relena broke away and looked at him expectantly. He growled slightly. When Relena made no move, he replied.
"You," he whispered huskily, kissing Relena again. He felt her smile into the kiss.
"And...just what...do...you...want me...to do?" Relena asked in between kisses. Heero froze and looked up at her, eyes wide. Did she really expect him to say WHAT? Oh crap...she was smirking...evilly. He moved forward, hoping to distract her, but Relena only scooted backwards.
"Relena," Heero growled, advancing on her until he was fully on the bed.
"Yes Heero?" Relena asked innocently. He glared at her. "It's a simple question, Heero." He glared some more. "What? You can't say it?" He sat back and crossed his arms. Heero was caught totally by surprise when Relena lunged forward, capturing his lips again. So surprised was he, that he fell back on the bed totally, giving Relena the opportunity she was looking for. Grabbing his arms and holding them above his head, Relena straddled Heero's hips. He struggled briefly, but Relena leaned forward, putting her weight onto his arms to hold them there. "Say it," she commanded. Heero stubbornly shook his head. "Tell me what you want me to do." Relena brought one hand down and ran it along Heero's length through the spandex, causing him to shudder and squeeze his eyes shut. How did Relena always end up being the dominant one? "Tell me, Heero." He let out a shaky breath.
"No," was his reply. Relena moved her hand faster, and he gasped. "Just...do it...Relena!"
"Do what?"
"Damn...it, Relena...now!" Heero was just about to reach his release point when Relena removed her hand from him. His eyes shot open as he looked up at her, gasping for breath. "What...the hell?!"
"I wasn't sure if you wanted me to finish it or not. You didn't tell me." Heero closed his eyes and grumbled something. "What was that?"
"I want...ugh, damn it! I want to have sex now! I can't take it anymore!" Heero half shouted at her, finding enough energy in himself to flip Relena over so he was the one on top. She blinked up at him, startled, and chuckled.
"Well, eager tonight, aren't we? Been too long?" Heero nodded, busying himself with burying his head in Relena's shoulder, nipping and kissing the skin there. "Heero, we can't do anything if we're both still fully dressed." Heero paused, then sat up and practically ripped his shirt off. Relena's nightie followed, and soon both were oblivious to the rest of the world.
[Insert lemon scene here ^_^]

"Relena, are you sure you're ok?" Noin asked, leaning against the doorway of the bathroom where Relena was kneeling in front of the toilet, pouring the contents of her stomach into the bowl.
"I told you Ms. Noin, I'm fine," Relena said, sitting back from the toilet and wiping off her mouth with the back of her hand. "I just have a stomach flew or something." Noin raised an eyebrow.
"You've been throwing up like this for the past THREE days Relena," she stated. Relena glanced up at her.
"Fine," she replied exasperatedly, throwing her hands up in the air. "Fine! I'll call the hospital and arrange for a doctor's appointment." Noin smiled triumphantly.
"Do you want me to tell Pagan to do that for you?"
"No!" Relena shouted, startling Noin. "Ah, sorry, but no. I am quite capable of picking up a phone and making an appointment. I get kind of tired of people doing everything for me."
"Understood," Noin replied, backing up from the doorway. "Feeling better?" Relena blinked.
"Yeah, it's just like before. I feel absolutely fine now."
"That's odd."
"I know...well," she said, standing up. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go make that phone call." Relena disappeared from the room, Noin's eyes following her out.
Downstairs, Relena was looking up the number of the hospital she could call to make an appointment. She silently cheered triumphantly when she found it, and began punching numbers into the phone. Not long after, she was connected with the hospital.
"Hello?" Relena asked. "Is this the number that I can make appointments at?...Ok, thanks." She paused as they reconnected her. "Yes, hi, this is Relena Peacecraft-... ...yes, THAT Relena Peacecraft... ...Um, well I haven't been feeling well the past couple of days and I was wondering if I could just get a quick check-up?... ...Well I've been throwing up for the past three days-... ...No, not all day, usually when I just wake-up... ...If I could get the appointment as soon as possible it would be great... ...The 23rd?! No, I need one soon!" Relena paled as she listened to the voice on the other end of the phone. "What do you mean the 23rd is tomorrow?! It can't be!" she shouted, quickly grabbing her organizer. She flipped through, finding the date, and raised a hand up to her mouth as her eyes widened. "Wha- Oh, yes, I'm still here, sorry... ...yes, tomorrow would be great... ...at 10:30? Ok, great... ...Thank you... ...ok, bye," she finished faintly, still staring at the calendar in front of her. It couldn't possibly be the 23rd already! When had she lost track of the date?...Since Heero had arrived. Of course. Since he had been there, the two had been going at it like rabbits because they had no idea when they would be separated again. If it was the 23rd, then she was AT LEAST two weeks late. And if she was two weeks late, then that meant she had probably skipped it totally. And if she had skipped it, then...no, she didn't want to think what that might mean. Pushing the thought aside, Relena walked out of the room in search of Pagan or Noin to tell them about her appointment.
* * *
Relena sighed to herself as she walked through the gardens of the palace. Her suspicions had been confirmed after the doctor's appointment. Well, she couldn't really say her "suspicions" because she hadn't suspected anything until the day she called the hospital, and even then she hadn't thought it was a possibility. In all actuality, it was VERY possible, seeing as she and Heero had never used any form of protection. It was just a major shock. She was only fifteen! Now she just had to find a way to tell Heero, she hadn't told anyone else yet. Relena frowned. She really had no idea how he would take the news. He would probably refrain from all further contact with her and have nothing to do with it. Or he might follow out on his previous promise, and kill her. She could worry about that later though. Right now, Relena's main concern was figuring out a way to inform Heero of the...situation. Walking into a clearing, she gasped quietly as she spotted Heero across the way, sitting on a bench reading. A quick glance around told her no one else was present. Relena sighed again and raked a hand through her hair. Running a hand down the sides of her school dress to smooth out any wrinkles, Relena let out a shaky breath.
'Well, now is as good a time as any to tell him,' she thought. 'At least he's alone.' Relena continued walking forward. As she neared him, it occurred to her that he was actually wearing his school uniform. Another glance confirmed that the book he was reading was the same one he had been reading the first night they had been together. Relena chuckled at that. 'All these months later and he still hasn't finished it. Poor boy.' A few seconds later, she was standing in front of him, and he still had taken no notice of her.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" Relena asked. Heero finally glanced up at her.
"You can do whatever you want. It's your country," he said, looking back down at the book. Relena sighed and sat down.
"I guess you're right," she murmured. The conversation continued, with some pushing on her part, until she was pretty sure she was ready to tell him. He had just opened his mouth to say something, and she had just gathered enough courage, when a familiar, and unwanted at the moment, girl interrupted them.
"I just-" Heero started, finally looking at Relena. He stopped abruptly as he noticed Dorothy out of the corner of his eye. Relena sighed, aggravated. She just HAD to show up now of all times. However, Relena greeted her politely, and accepted the invitation she handed her from Romefeller. By that point, there was no hope in getting back to the conversation with Heero, so Relena let it drop for the moment. She would tell him later.
"Later" STILL had not occurred by the time Relena was leaving for the meeting. A feeling of panic fled through her as she started to climb into the limo. What if Heero left before she got the chance to tell him? Abruptly, Relena turned back around to the two boys standing on the balcony above her. Heero was regarding her with disinterest, though his intense stare was following her every move, and Quatre was looking on with worry.
"Heero!" Relena called out. He said nothing, not that she had expected a reply. "Promise me you won't leave without telling me first!" she shouted up at him. There was a pause, and then Heero nodded slowly. Satisfied with that, Relena turned and crawled into the limo.
* * *
Relena did not see Heero again for several days. The meeting with Romefeller had gone better than she'd expected. She was, of course, oblivious of the fact that while she had been talking about keeping the peace, Heero had been off fighting in a battle where there was a slim chance of survival on his part. However, Heero HAD survived, he didn't know if that was good or bad, and he had brought another mobile suit back to the pacifist nation. Relena didn't know about that either. She DID know that she had to tell Heero the news, and she had to tell him NOW. She walked determinedly to his room late one night, after everyone else had gone to bed. She paused in front of the closed door for only a brief second, then brought up her hand and knocked. It was a few seconds before she got an answer, and she heard some shuffling from inside. The door cracked open, and then opened fully as Heero confirmed who it was.
"What do you need?" he asked gruffly.
"Ms. Relena?" another voice asked from inside before Relena could answer. Relena peered around Heero.
"Quatre?" she asked, in the same tone of voice. She was suddenly glad she had worn pajama pants and a tank top to bed tonight. Heero rolled his eyes and gently pulled her into the room, shutting the door behind her.
"You both are too loud," he stated matter-of-factly. Both blondes whispered a small apology.
"What are you doing here Ms. Relena?" Quatre asked. Relena blushed slightly and unconsciously put a hand on her stomach.
"Ah...well, I had to tell Heero something, and please, just call me Relena. Why are you here?" He didn't answer right away. "Oh, sorry, it's probably none of my business-"
"No it's ok," Quatre cut in. "I asked you the same thing."
"You're not leaving, are you?" Relena asked, worry flooding through her. Quatre smiled and shook his head.
"Not if we can help it. I think this is the best place for us to be right now, if it's ok with you that is."
"Oh, it's fine that you stay here!" Relena said quickly, stealing a glance at Heero who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. "I only wish I could help you more."
"You've done more than enough, what with helping on the search for Trowa and all." Relena waved a hand dismissively.
"That's the least I could do," she said. It was quiet for a minute before Quatre got the idea that he should probably leave.
"Well, Heero, we'll talk about this later?" he asked, glancing in the Japanese youth's direction. Heero nodded an affirmative. "Ok, I'll leave you two alone then, so Relena can tell you what she needed to," Quatre glanced at the clock, "at 1:45 in the morning," he finished. Relena blushed a little more while Heero glared at Quatre. The blonde smirked. "Good night," he called, walking out of the room. Once he was gone, Relena looked nervously at Heero.
"Sorry," she said quietly. "I didn't know he was in here. I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation." Heero said nothing and Relena began to fidget under his gaze. Heero's eyes narrowed and he pushed himself off the wall and walked over to Relena. Standing in front of her, he scrutinized her appearance even more, and she shrank back slightly.
"What's wrong?" he asked, surprising Relena with the soft tone he used. She glanced up at him and walked over to the desk in the room.
"I have to tell you something," she said, playing around with one of the pens on the desk. She wouldn't meet his eyes. "You, uh, you might want to sit down," Relena said, stalling. She gestured to the chair.
"I'll stand."
"No, I think you should sit."
"I said I'd stand. Now what's wrong?" Relena sighed and raked a hand through her hair. She walked over to the bed and plopped down on it. Where had all her courage gone? A few quiet minutes passed before Heero spoke again. "Relena," he said, uncrossing his arms. "You're starting to worry me. Just say it!" Relena jumped slightly, and swallowed.
"Uh, well Heero," she started, looking at the carpet. "I'm...well, you see...I...because we never, um...I...ugh!" Relena threw her hands up and jumped off of the bed. She began pacing in front of Heero, one hand resting on her abdomen. Heero sighed and crossed his arms again.
"I'm waiting." Whatever she had to say must be important.
"I know! I know, I just...I'm trying to think of how to tell you...I...I don't know how you'll react..." Relena still wouldn't look him in the face.
"Well you'll never find out unless you tell me." She still said nothing. "This is starting to get annoying," Heero stated.
"I'm trying!"
"Just tell me exactly. I don't need a long story." Relena nodded.
"Heero...I'm...we...we're going to have...I'M going to have....a...well...see, I'm kind of...well, not kind of...I AM..." Relena stopped pacing finally. Squaring her shoulders and taking a deep breath, she turned to face Heero who was watching her with carefully guarded curiosity and worry. She looked him straight in the eye and said, "Heero...I'm pregnant."
Yeah, he probably should have sat down.
*blink* She's pregnant?! O_o Yeah, ok, and just how am I going to fit THAT into the series? That's probably what most of you are thinking, right? Well, you'll just have to wait and see! MWUAHAHAHAHA! *ahem* Anyway, you know, the usual. Thanks for reading, blah blah blah, please review. And thanks for putting up with the wait for new chapters! I know it's been taking me a while lately. Sorry! I'll try to have the next chapter out sooner, kay? Alrighty then, ja ne!

She flipped through, finding the date, and raised a hand up to her mouth as her eyes widened. "Wha- Oh, yes, I'm still here, sorry... ...yes, tomorrow would be great... ...at 10:30? Ok, great... ...Thank you... ...ok, bye," she finished faintly, still staring at the calendar in front of her. It couldn't possibly be the 23rd already! When had she lost track of the date?...Since Heero had arrived. Of course. Since he had been there, the two had been going at it like rabbits because they had no idea when they would be separated again. If it was the 23rd, then she was AT LEAST two weeks late. And if she was two weeks late, then that meant she had probably skipped it totally. And if she had skipped it, then...no, she didn't want to think what that might mean. Pushing the thought aside, Relena walked out of the room in search of Pagan or Noin to tell them about her appointment.

Relena sighed to herself as she walked through the gardens of the palace. Her suspicions had been confirmed after the doctor's appointment. Well, she couldn't really say her "suspicions" because she hadn't suspected anything until the day she called the hospital, and even then she hadn't thought it was a possibility. In all actuality, it was VERY possible, seeing as she and Heero had never used any form of protection. It was just a major shock. She was only fifteen! Now she just had to find a way to tell Heero, she hadn't told anyone else yet. Relena frowned. She really had no idea how he would take the news. He would probably refrain from all further contact with her and have nothing to do with it. Or he might follow out on his previous promise, and kill her. She could worry about that later though. Right now, Relena's main concern was figuring out a way to inform Heero of the...situation. Walking into a clearing, she gasped quietly as she spotted Heero across the way, sitting on a bench reading. A quick glance around told her no one else was present. Relena sighed again and raked a hand through her hair. Running a hand down the sides of her school dress to smooth out any wrinkles, Relena let out a shaky breath.
'Well, now is as good a time as any to tell him,' she thought. 'At least he's alone.' Relena continued walking forward. As she neared him, it occurred to her that he was actually wearing his school uniform. Another glance confirmed that the book he was reading was the same one he had been reading the first night they had been together. Relena chuckled at that. 'All these months later and he still hasn't finished it. Poor boy.' A few seconds later, she was standing in front of him, and he still had taken no notice of her.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" Relena asked. Heero finally glanced up at her.
"You can do whatever you want. It's your country," he said, looking back down at the book. Relena sighed and sat down.
"I guess you're right," she murmured. The conversation continued, with some pushing on her part, until she was pretty sure she was ready to tell him. He had just opened his mouth to say something, and she had just gathered enough courage, when a familiar, and unwanted at the moment, girl interrupted them.
"I just-" Heero started, finally looking at Relena. He stopped abruptly as he noticed Dorothy out of the corner of his eye. Relena sighed, aggravated. She just HAD to show up now of all times. However, Relena greeted her politely, and accepted the invitation she handed her from Romefeller. By that point, there was no hope in getting back to the conversation with Heero, so Relena let it drop for the moment. She would tell him later.
"Later" STILL had not occurred by the time Relena was leaving for the meeting. A feeling of panic fled through her as she started to climb into the limo. What if Heero left before she got the chance to tell him? Abruptly, Relena turned back around to the two boys standing on the balcony above her. Heero was regarding her with disinterest, though his intense stare was following her every move, and Quatre was looking on with worry.
"Heero!" Relena called out. He said nothing, not that she had expected a reply. "Promise me you won't leave without telling me first!" she shouted up at him. There was a pause, and then Heero nodded slowly. Satisfied with that, Relena turned and crawled into the limo.
* * *
Relena did not see Heero again for several days. The meeting with Romefeller had gone better than she'd expected. She was, of course, oblivious of the fact that while she had been talking about keeping the peace, Heero had been off fighting in a battle where there was a slim chance of survival on his part. However, Heero HAD survived, he didn't know if that was good or bad, and he had brought another mobile suit back to the pacifist nation. Relena didn't know about that either. She DID know that she had to tell Heero the news, and she had to tell him NOW. She walked determinedly to his room late one night, after everyone else had gone to bed. She paused in front of the closed door for only a brief second, then brought up her hand and knocked. It was a few seconds before she got an answer, and she heard some shuffling from inside. The door cracked open, and then opened fully as Heero confirmed who it was.
"What do you need?" he asked gruffly.
"Ms. Relena?" another voice asked from inside before Relena could answer. Relena peered around Heero.
"Quatre?" she asked, in the same tone of voice. She was suddenly glad she had worn pajama pants and a tank top to bed tonight. Heero rolled his eyes and gently pulled her into the room, shutting the door behind her.
"You both are too loud," he stated matter-of-factly. Both blondes whispered a small apology.
"What are you doing here Ms. Relena?" Quatre asked. Relena blushed slightly and unconsciously put a hand on her stomach.
"Ah...well, I had to tell Heero something, and please, just call me Relena. Why are you here?" He didn't answer right away. "Oh, sorry, it's probably none of my business-"
"No it's ok," Quatre cut in. "I asked you the same thing."
"You're not leaving, are you?" Relena asked, worry flooding through her. Quatre smiled and shook his head.
"Not if we can help it. I think this is the best place for us to be right now, if it's ok with you that is."
"Oh, it's fine that you stay here!" Relena said quickly, stealing a glance at Heero who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. "I only wish I could help you more."
"You've done more than enough, what with helping on the search for Trowa and all." Relena waved a hand dismissively.
"That's the least I could do," she said. It was quiet for a minute before Quatre got the idea that he should probably leave.
"Well, Heero, we'll talk about this later?" he asked, glancing in the Japanese youth's direction. Heero nodded an affirmative. "Ok, I'll leave you two alone then, so Relena can tell you what she needed to," Quatre glanced at the clock, "at 1:45 in the morning," he finished. Relena blushed a little more while Heero glared at Quatre. The blonde smirked. "Good night," he called, walking out of the room. Once he was gone, Relena looked nervously at Heero.
"Sorry," she said quietly. "I didn't know he was in here. I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation." Heero said nothing and Relena began to fidget under his gaze. Heero's eyes narrowed and he pushed himself off the wall and walked over to Relena. Standing in front of her, he scrutinized her appearance even more, and she shrank back slightly.
"What's wrong?" he asked, surprising Relena with the soft tone he used. She glanced up at him and walked over to the desk in the room.
"I have to tell you something," she said, playing around with one of the pens on the desk. She wouldn't meet his eyes. "You, uh, you might want to sit down," Relena said, stalling. She gestured to the chair.
"I'll stand."
"No, I think you should sit."
"I said I'd stand. Now what's wrong?" Relena sighed and raked a hand through her hair. She walked over to the bed and plopped down on it. Where had all her courage gone? A few quiet minutes passed before Heero spoke again. "Relena," he said, uncrossing his arms. "You're starting to worry me. Just say it!" Relena jumped slightly, and swallowed.
"Uh, well Heero," she started, looking at the carpet. "I'm...well, you see...I...because we never, um...I...ugh!" Relena threw her hands up and jumped off of the bed. She began pacing in front of Heero, one hand resting on her abdomen. Heero sighed and crossed his arms again.
"I'm waiting." Whatever she had to say must be important.
"I know! I know, I just...I'm trying to think of how to tell you...I...I don't know how you'll react..." Relena still wouldn't look him in the face.
"Well you'll never find out unless you tell me." She still said nothing. "This is starting to get annoying," Heero stated.
"I'm trying!"
"Just tell me exactly. I don't need a long story." Relena nodded.
"Heero...I'm...we...we're going to have...I'M going to have....a...well...see, I'm kind of...well, not kind of...I AM..." Relena stopped pacing finally. Squaring her shoulders and taking a deep breath, she turned to face Heero who was watching her with carefully guarded curiosity and worry. She looked him straight in the eye and said, "Heero...I'm pregnant."
Yeah, he probably should have sat down.
*blink* She's pregnant?! O_o Yeah, ok, and just how am I going to fit THAT into the series? That's probably what most of you are thinking, right? Well, you'll just have to wait and see! MWUAHAHAHAHA! *ahem* Anyway, you know, the usual. Thanks for reading, blah blah blah, please review. And thanks for putting up with the wait for new chapters! I know it's been taking me a while lately. Sorry! I'll try to have the next chapter out sooner, kay? Alrighty then, ja ne!
