>>>>>>
Noin rushed around the house trying to set the perfect scene, she had placed scented candles everywhere, brought some fluffy cushions to place at easy reach, arranged a small table overlooking the terrace.
The table was adorned with her best china, beautiful plates and hand blown crystal that had come down her family for generations. The silverware sparkled with the reflected lights of the tall candles adorning the middle of the table.
She had agonized for hours over the clothing she should wear, she didn't want to look too fancy, or too sexy, or too motherly, or too tough, or too impersonal, or too… she finally settled with something simple. She wore a long flowing black skirt and a blue silky blouse that made her eyes stand out.
She gave a final check to the meal and settled to wait, while she reminisced on the events of the day. She hadn't been feeling well for days, she had being feeling shitty actually. But she had avoided telling Zechs anything… didn't want to worry him. Not that he would have noticed anyway, he had been too preoccupied with Relena's behavior lately.
Noin hated medical exams, she had always been very fit, but she arranged one with Sally. She begged Sally to keep things under wraps, didn't want Preventers to know either. She'd taken the day off, supposedly to do some shopping, and Sally had given her an examination. After asking some questions and running some test, Sally had returned smiling with the shocking news that she was pregnant. Noin couldn't believe it, she had been using protection.
"Nothing is 100% safe, Noin," Sally had commented, giving her time to assimilate the news. "You have my congratulations!" An almost sad looked came over her, "I wish I could convince Wufei to have kids too, I so much want to have them."
Noin had come out of her introspection at that, "Yeah right! You sure you want little Wufeis bossing you around too?"
Sally laughed unperturbed, "Maybe I want little Wufeis so I can order them around!"
But Noin had returned home with ambivalent feelings, she did want a child… but was this the right time? And she couldn't fathom Zechs' reaction, they had never discussed it. Would he be happy, angry, indifferent?
The oven's timer went off alerting her that the meal was nearly done. She checked on it, tasted a little corner and was satisfied with the results. Lowered the temperature, hoping to keep it warm until Zechs' arrival. She checked her watch, hurry up Zechs.
Zechs arrived late, which wasn't unusual, but for Noin's emotional state it was hard to keep a happy façade.
"Sweetheart," he kissed her absentmindedly and threw his uniform jacket on the sofa. He glanced at the table and his interest perked up, "Hey, planning to seduce this old soldier?"
Noin kept her tight smile, "Just wanted to have an intimate evening, you know relax, talk a little, we haven't had much of those lately."
Zechs sat on the chair facing the balcony, this irked Noin who didn't like to sit with her back to the terrace. She grabbed the remaining chair an moved it at angle that would keep her back to the wall. Zechs was oblivious to her maneuvering.
"Gads! This was an awful day," he started, as he grabbed some of the Italian bread smeared with garlic and pesto sauce.
"What happened?"
Zechs tried to swallow quickly, "I don't know what's going on but Heero seems to be on the edge lately… I mean he is always on the edge, but today he seemed… I don't know! Everyone was walking on egg shells around him which made the entire office uncomfortable to be in. Anyway with you gone, I got stuck with a bunch of kids that came to tour the building. I don't know why Lady Une stuck me with that, she should have called on someone else."
Noin tensed even more but Zechs continued heedlessly, "Those kids were like a nightmare, that stupid teacher couldn't keep them inline and they kept touching and asking dumb questions… argg… look at my shirt," he gestured to one of the white sleeves, "look… one of those little monsters grabbed me and stained my shirt with what I hope is chocolate." He shuddered and grabbed more of the bread.
"One of them ran off and activated the security alarm, which then set Wufei off, who blamed me for the incident. Ha! As if I could control those little demons! I wish I could see him try!"
"I know Sally would like some kids." Noin commented softly while she served the food.
"Good grief! What for? They are just starting out, kids would just get in the way." Zechs said offhandedly, as he digged into the delicious food.
Noin's precarious control on her emotions was loosened. She slammed the serving spoon on the table and let him have it, "Well, I think that if she wants to have kids, she should have them! I think you are being an idiot! Just because you couldn't handle a couple of kids and they dirtied your shirt doesn't mean kids are a bad idea! I don't see why things always have to be your way!"
Zechs mouth opened in shock, what the hell was this about? He tried to placate her, "Sweetheart! Of course they can do what they want!"
"Don't try to patronize me!"
"Now, sweetie… I'm just saying that every relationship is different and if they want kids that's okay."
"What? You mean it's okay for them but not for us?"
"What? You want to have kids?" asked Zechs incredulous.
"Argg!! That does it! Get out!"
"What did I do?"
"Another blonde stretches the limit of his IQ!" Noin sarcastically replied, while grabbing Zechs' plate and dumping the food down the sink.
"That does it! Dammit! I had a hard day, I come home hoping for some peace and quiet, and what do I get? A raving lunatic!" Zechs waved his hands on the air, grabbed his jacket and stormed out.
What have I done? wondered Noin as tears ran down her cheeks. This wasn't supposed to happen this way.
She hadn't been sure of her own feelings, but hearing Zechs… she touched her flat womb, she wanted this child, wanted it badly. And if Zechs didn't want it… too bad. She had compromised too many times for him, but not this time.
>>>>
Zechs stared at his drink morosely while he tried to figure out what the hell had gone wrong. It wasn't their anniversary, it wasn't her birthday, was it some kind of special day he had forgotten? What had set her off, like that? Noin was usually so even tempered… he replayed the conversation in his mind, frantically searching for the reason to her anger. His mind wasn't working at full speed, the drinks were already clouding his thought pattern. Was it because of his comments on kids? His thoughts were interrupted when he saw Heero walk in the bar and settle at the other end. Poor guy, he looks depressed… well might as well enjoy myself a little, it's not everyday I can poke some fun at him.
He walked towards Heero, and settled on a stool beside him.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Trouble with Relena?"
Heero clenched his fists. "What is it to you? … And what are you doing here, trouble with Noin?" He unwittingly hit on the mark.
Zechs growled, "Damn woman! I don't know what's wrong with her, she has been acting strangely lately. Good heavens, she's become over emotional." Zechs rested his head on the bar top. "So what's your trouble, getting some competition?" he taunted.
"Hnn…"
Heero was uncommunicative for the first hour, but he soon caught up with Zechs' alcohol level. Unluckily for him, his alcohol resistant level was much lower than Zechs'.
"… Rrr… Rrrele… your sister is falling for Duo… that stu… stupid… fool…"
"errr… no way… she's obsessed with you…"
"I'm telling you… sh… she… is"
"Damn, he's even worse than you."
"Well… it seems your getting rid of me."
I have to do something! That idiot is far worse than Heero! Relena… what can you be thinking?
Zechs watched dispassionately as Heero slid to the floor unconscious. He paid the tab and got some help dragging Heero into a Taxi.
>>>>>>
Noin sat down drinking some chamomile tea, hoping that it would relax her. She had called Sally to vent some of her feelings, expecting to commiserate with her, instead Sally had laughed.
"Your just being overemotional, Noin."
"What? He was an insensitive jerk!"
"Noin.. did you tell him you're pregnant?"
"No.."
"Well, how can you say he was an insensitive jerk? I saw those kids and believe me I was glad to have an excuse to leave, or Lady Une would have stuck me with them. Calm down and think logically, do you really think Zechs dislikes kids? And even if he does, he might have a totally different reaction to knowing he's about to have one of his own. Go take a nice hot bath, drink some tea and when he comes back talk to him. The poor guy must be wondering what kind of lunatic are you!" Sally laughed some more. "Don't worry Noin, this is part of the normal process, your hormones are going through some changes and this will affect your emotions for some time."
She had followed Sally's suggestion and that's why she now found herself drinking a calming herbal tea.
She heard some commotion on the front door and the door bang open. Her eyes widened at the sight of Zechs dragging the limp form of Heero. She immediately stood up to help Zechs put him on the sofa.
"What happened to him?" Noin started looking for some wound, but her hands stilled when the strong smell of alcohol reached her. "He's drunk?" She asked unbelieving.
"Sad but true," Zechs shook his head as he plumped himself on another chair. "Afraid this Gundam Pilot's tolerance level is quite low."
"Specially compared to yours that's quite high!" Noin glared at him.
Zechs smiled unrepentantly.
"Did you get him drunk on purpose?"
"Nah! Can't take the credit for that, wish I could. Not a bad idea, after all." Zechs looked at the ceiling and continued, "The credit goes to my darling sister, seems she's falling for that fool Duo and it's driving Heero a little insane."
Noin sincerely doubted that but kept it to herself, men shouldn't be given more information than necessary. Who knew what Relena was up to and she wouldn't spoil it.
Zechs wanted some coffee, check.. he needed some coffee. He eyed Noin and wondered if he could get away with asking her to prepare him some. Probably not, he concluded, better to do it myself and maintain the truce. He got up, "I'm going to make some coffee, want some?"
Noin shook her head, "No, thanks. I was drinking some tea."
Zechs went into the kitchen and started to prepare the coffee. Noin, after one last look at Heero, to confirm he was okay, settled on her chair overlooking the terrace, once again.
Zechs opened some cupboards looking for his favorite mug, while his mind wandered back to the question of why Noin had been so angry. He found his mug and leaned on the counter, inhaling deeply the aroma of the brewing coffee. Ahh, nothing like premium coffee to clear his mind. She had been upset over his comments on the kids and/or his comments on Wufei/Sally having kids. Hmm… he took out the brown sugar that he preferred and measured two teaspoons on his mug.
An idea started to form in his head.. was Sally pregnant? He considered the possibility and smiled imagining Wufei's reaction. He took the coffee out of the machine and started to pour it into his mug. Nah, couldn't be.. that reaction had been too strong.. and then it finally hit him. Noin is pregnant! The mug slipped from his fingers and crashed on the Italian tiled floor, breaking in hundreds of little pieces and splashing the coffee all over.
Zechs gingerly stepped over the mess and walked towards his wife. Noin looked at his pale face, "What happened?" she asked with concern.
He sat, fearing that his legs would give out. He stretched his trembling hands and engulfed Noin's with his. "Noin..," he rasped, "are you pregnant?"
"Yes.."
Such a simple word but it turned Zechs into jelly. He shut his eyes and lowered his forehead, touching her hands with it. "I'm so sorry..."
Noin tried to pull her hands away, she wanted to cry in pain and frustration.
Zechs tightened his hold on her hands and looked up, the look in her eyes told him that he had blundered once again. "Sweetheart… I'm glad, I'm happy, really… just give me a minute… "
Noin looked at him unconvinced. She managed to pull her hands away and stood up. "Well, try to contain your enthusiasm!"
Zechs stood up and reached her in two long steps, imprisoning her with his arms. She remained coldly aloof. He leaned his head towards hers and whispered in her ear. "Baby… I'm so happy, I don't know what to say. The thought of you carrying my child… it fills me with immense pleasure… but I'm afraid too… afraid for you… afraid for the dangers, the pain… that await you. Afraid of what the world will offer any child of mine. The son or daughter of Milliardo Peacecraft, another descendant to the Peacecraft monarchy."
He pulled back just so that he could see her face. She looked bewildered, but comprehension slowly seeped in. "Zechs…," one of her hands came to brush back the hairs that fell on top of his eyes, "you don't have to be afraid, we are both strong, and we will protect this child."
He crushed her to him, "I couldn't protect Relena… she was such a sweet baby… and I couldn't protect her."
"Zechs! Your squeezing too hard!" Zechs released her, immediately looking alarmed.
"Are you okay?"
Noin smiled at him, "Yes…" she hesitated before continuing, "Zechs, you were a child then. Relena was protected by those who had the power to do so, you have no reason to feel guilty over the events of the past. She was loved and protected by the Dorlians. But you cannot protect the ones we love from everything, you shouldn't protect them from everything. If you do, how will they grow up? How will they grow strong? Relena has gone through a lot of pain, but she is very strong and so are you. We can do this, we are strong and our child will be strong also."
Zechs remained silent, trying to assimilate her words. "Your right, as always… what would I do with out you?"
"I'll remind you of that later." Noin smiled impishly as she played with the buttons on Zechs uniform. "But I think we should continues this conversation upstairs, wouldn't want to wake Heero."
Zechs glanced at Heero and smiled with satisfaction, "I doubt it, that poor idiot won't wake up till tomorrow, and when he does… he, he… the hangover won't let him think."
"Are you sure you didn't get him drunk?"
"I swear! He did it all by himself." Zechs placed one arm underneath Noin's legs and carefully pulled her up.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm carrying you."
"… Why?"
"Because pregnant woman shouldn't be forced to walk up stairs."
"Oh, Zechs… your sweet… but really, I'm perfectly capable."
Zechs looked at her intently, "Do you really want me to put you down?"
"No!" Noin choked, "Forget what I said, please continue." She tightened her hold on him and nuzzled his neck.
Zechs carried her to their room and softly deposited her on their large bed, he closed the door and turned to her. "Now my sweet, I will show you how happy you have made me."
"My sweet? Oooh, that sounds like the wolf from a fairy tail. Should I run now?"
Zechs gave her a wolfish grin, "You can run, but you can't hide." But he didn't give her a chance to run, he was on the bed and holding her before he'd finished the sentence.
"That's cheating!!" Noin protested.
"No, that's being considerate of my pregnant wife, who shouldn't be exerting herself unnecessarily, when she knows I'm going to catch her fairly quickly." Zechs started to open her robe with his teeth.
"Quickly, huh? You got lucky this time, will see about that, next time."
"I wouldn't boast, sweetheart, in the coming months your apt to get bigger and slower." He grinned unrepentantly.
"That's it! Your gonna pay for that one." Noin expertly flipped him and quickly straddled him. "Zechs!! You haven't taken off your boots!"
"I like it when you take them off."
"You do, do you?" Noin stood up and took off her robe, revealing a red lacy teddy.
"Whoa! I thought you were mad at me."
"I figured we'd make up."
"Witch!"
Noin turned around and straddled his leg, leaning to the front to pull the boots off. Zechs tongue almost came out when he saw the tong back of the teddy. Grrrl!! His hands came up to touch her exposed cheeks, massaging and squeezing while she took her time in slipping the boots off.
She finally finished with the boots. She then gave her attention to the rest of the uniform, starting with the jacket and moving down to his pants. Zechs hands did not stay idle, he touched, caressed, and squeezed everything that he could reach. When he was finally naked, Noin started to rain kisses down his chest with the obvious intention of reaching his erect manhood.
"Lucrezia… no…," he rasped. "No, it's my turn. I promised…" He pushed her back and started to worship her body with his hands and lips.
He sat and took one of her slender legs, he kissed her toes and whispered his love to her. He continued kissing her legs, slowly going upwards. He paid special attention to the back of her knees and her inner thigh, eliciting approving moans from her. But when he reached her mound, he bypassed it continuing to her belly and up to her breasts. Noin was vaguely disappointed and struggled to rub herself with him. But Zechs held her down while he teased her nipples.
"Zechs! Please!"
Zechs laughed, "Impatient! I want you quivering…" Noin pulled his hair in revenge.
Zechs responded to her unspoken command and went south… until he found his target between her inner lips. He licked and sucked until she couldn't take it anymore and lifted from the bed moaning her ecstasy. He entered her softly, afraid of hurting her. But she would have none of that, and bending her knees used the leverage to buck and grind against him.
"Lucrezia… please! I don't want to hurt you!"
"Argg! If you don't… I'm going to hurt you!" She pulled on his hair with one hand and with the other one sank her nails on his backside.
Zechs growled and lost his control, sinking hard into her.
"Yes!" Noin screamed in satisfaction. She wrapped her legs around him, encouraging him to sink harder and deeper.
Zechs complied, kissing her hard and nipping at her neck. The crescent of pleasure increased even more, until both lost complete awareness of everything else. They could see, hear, smell, feel, and taste only each other.
Noin was the first to convulse in ecstasy, her spasm pushing Zechs to his own orgasm. He sank hard one last time, screaming her name.
They laid entwined, Zechs caressing her arm and Noin caressing his chest.
"We have nothing to worry about, our kids will be well behaved." Zechs tried to reassure Noin, "We are both disciplined, our kids will be also. They will be nothing like those brats, with obviously irresponsible parents."
Noin smiled discreetly and didn't make any comments.
*****Flash into the future*****
Zechs entered the house carrying his two children like bag of potatoes, one under each arm. "Noin!! Where are you dammit?"
Noin came out of the kitchen, "Zechs! Watch your language in front of the twins!"
"Grrr!! Darn it!! They drove me nuts today! Your son kept tripping the alarm on purpose! And your daughter crashed Heero's computer! As always she gave him an angelic smile, so he forgave her. But me? He blames me! So now he is giving me deathglares and promising some kind of dire revenge. This is the last time I take them with me!"
She'd heard that threat before. She looked at her platinum haired children who grinned impishly at her. "Well darling, you must admit, they take after you!"
The End

I hope you liked it!!

Zechs gingerly stepped over the mess and walked towards his wife. Noin looked at his pale face, "What happened?" she asked with concern.
He sat, fearing that his legs would give out. He stretched his trembling hands and engulfed Noin's with his. "Noin..," he rasped, "are you pregnant?"
"Yes.."
Such a simple word but it turned Zechs into jelly. He shut his eyes and lowered his forehead, touching her hands with it. "I'm so sorry..."
Noin tried to pull her hands away, she wanted to cry in pain and frustration.
Zechs tightened his hold on her hands and looked up, the look in her eyes told him that he had blundered once again. "Sweetheart… I'm glad, I'm happy, really… just give me a minute… "
Noin looked at him unconvinced. She managed to pull her hands away and stood up. "Well, try to contain your enthusiasm!"
Zechs stood up and reached her in two long steps, imprisoning her with his arms. She remained coldly aloof. He leaned his head towards hers and whispered in her ear. "Baby… I'm so happy, I don't know what to say. The thought of you carrying my child… it fills me with immense pleasure… but I'm afraid too… afraid for you… afraid for the dangers, the pain… that await you. Afraid of what the world will offer any child of mine. The son or daughter of Milliardo Peacecraft, another descendant to the Peacecraft monarchy."
He pulled back just so that he could see her face. She looked bewildered, but comprehension slowly seeped in. "Zechs…," one of her hands came to brush back the hairs that fell on top of his eyes, "you don't have to be afraid, we are both strong, and we will protect this child."
He crushed her to him, "I couldn't protect Relena… she was such a sweet baby… and I couldn't protect her."
"Zechs! Your squeezing too hard!" Zechs released her, immediately looking alarmed.
"Are you okay?"
Noin smiled at him, "Yes…" she hesitated before continuing, "Zechs, you were a child then. Relena was protected by those who had the power to do so, you have no reason to feel guilty over the events of the past. She was loved and protected by the Dorlians. But you cannot protect the ones we love from everything, you shouldn't protect them from everything. If you do, how will they grow up? How will they grow strong? Relena has gone through a lot of pain, but she is very strong and so are you. We can do this, we are strong and our child will be strong also."
Zechs remained silent, trying to assimilate her words. "Your right, as always… what would I do with out you?"
"I'll remind you of that later." Noin smiled impishly as she played with the buttons on Zechs uniform. "But I think we should continues this conversation upstairs, wouldn't want to wake Heero."
Zechs glanced at Heero and smiled with satisfaction, "I doubt it, that poor idiot won't wake up till tomorrow, and when he does… he, he… the hangover won't let him think."
"Are you sure you didn't get him drunk?"
"I swear! He did it all by himself." Zechs placed one arm underneath Noin's legs and carefully pulled her up.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm carrying you."
"… Why?"
"Because pregnant woman shouldn't be forced to walk up stairs."
"Oh, Zechs… your sweet… but really, I'm perfectly capable."
Zechs looked at her intently, "Do you really want me to put you down?"
"No!" Noin choked, "Forget what I said, please continue." She tightened her hold on him and nuzzled his neck.
Zechs carried her to their room and softly deposited her on their large bed, he closed the door and turned to her. "Now my sweet, I will show you how happy you have made me."
"My sweet? Oooh, that sounds like the wolf from a fairy tail. Should I run now?"
Zechs gave her a wolfish grin, "You can run, but you can't hide." But he didn't give her a chance to run, he was on the bed and holding her before he'd finished the sentence.
"That's cheating!!" Noin protested.
"No, that's being considerate of my pregnant wife, who shouldn't be exerting herself unnecessarily, when she knows I'm going to catch her fairly quickly." Zechs started to open her robe with his teeth.
"Quickly, huh? You got lucky this time, will see about that, next time."
"I wouldn't boast, sweetheart, in the coming months your apt to get bigger and slower." He grinned unrepentantly.
"That's it! Your gonna pay for that one." Noin expertly flipped him and quickly straddled him. "Zechs!! You haven't taken off your boots!"
"I like it when you take them off."
"You do, do you?" Noin stood up and took off her robe, revealing a red lacy teddy.
"Whoa! I thought you were mad at me."
"I figured we'd make up."
"Witch!"
Noin turned around and straddled his leg, leaning to the front to pull the boots off. Zechs tongue almost came out when he saw the tong back of the teddy. Grrrl!! His hands came up to touch her exposed cheeks, massaging and squeezing while she took her time in slipping the boots off.
She finally finished with the boots. She then gave her attention to the rest of the uniform, starting with the jacket and moving down to his pants. Zechs hands did not stay idle, he touched, caressed, and squeezed everything that he could reach. When he was finally naked, Noin started to rain kisses down his chest with the obvious intention of reaching his erect manhood.
"Lucrezia… no…," he rasped. "No, it's my turn. I promised…" He pushed her back and started to worship her body with his hands and lips.
He sat and took one of her slender legs, he kissed her toes and whispered his love to her. He continued kissing her legs, slowly going upwards. He paid special attention to the back of her knees and her inner thigh, eliciting approving moans from her. But when he reached her mound, he bypassed it continuing to her belly and up to her breasts. Noin was vaguely disappointed and struggled to rub herself with him. But Zechs held her down while he teased her nipples.
"Zechs! Please!"
Zechs laughed, "Impatient! I want you quivering…" Noin pulled his hair in revenge.
Zechs responded to her unspoken command and went south… until he found his target between her inner lips. He licked and sucked until she couldn't take it anymore and lifted from the bed moaning her ecstasy. He entered her softly, afraid of hurting her. But she would have none of that, and bending her knees used the leverage to buck and grind against him.
"Lucrezia… please! I don't want to hurt you!"
"Argg! If you don't… I'm going to hurt you!" She pulled on his hair with one hand and with the other one sank her nails on his backside.
Zechs growled and lost his control, sinking hard into her.
"Yes!" Noin screamed in satisfaction. She wrapped her legs around him, encouraging him to sink harder and deeper.
Zechs complied, kissing her hard and nipping at her neck. The crescent of pleasure increased even more, until both lost complete awareness of everything else. They could see, hear, smell, feel, and taste only each other.
Noin was the first to convulse in ecstasy, her spasm pushing Zechs to his own orgasm. He sank hard one last time, screaming her name.
They laid entwined, Zechs caressing her arm and Noin caressing his chest.
"We have nothing to worry about, our kids will be well behaved." Zechs tried to reassure Noin, "We are both disciplined, our kids will be also. They will be nothing like those brats, with obviously irresponsible parents."
Noin smiled discreetly and didn't make any comments.
*****Flash into the future*****
Zechs entered the house carrying his two children like bag of potatoes, one under each arm. "Noin!! Where are you dammit?"
Noin came out of the kitchen, "Zechs! Watch your language in front of the twins!"
"Grrr!! Darn it!! They drove me nuts today! Your son kept tripping the alarm on purpose! And your daughter crashed Heero's computer! As always she gave him an angelic smile, so he forgave her. But me? He blames me! So now he is giving me deathglares and promising some kind of dire revenge. This is the last time I take them with me!"
She'd heard that threat before. She looked at her platinum haired children who grinned impishly at her. "Well darling, you must admit, they take after you!"
