Heero POV

I groan as I hear the alarm clock go off at 7 in the morning. During the war I would have gotten up right away and started the day off checking my laptop for missions and then fixing Wing. But since the end of the war, and my marriage to Duo, he's taught me to sleep in and cuddle in the morning before we have to get up.

Duo rolls over and turns off the alarm clock and moves to get up. He reaches over and shakes me to make sure I'm awake. I grumble at him and move slowly to get up as well. I grab a robe and walk towards the door, Duo meets me halfway while going to the bathroom. He chuckles at my disgruntled look and pulls me into a hug. We sway a little in the embrace and he brushes kiss against my shoulder. He lets go of me with a smile and walks into the shower.

I sigh and look around the room. I clean up the room a little, and then go wake up our children. A year after we married, Duo and I decided to adopt. So far we've adopted 3 children and we love them more than anything.

The first one we adopted was a five-year-old boy named Alex. He's eight years old now and is in elementary school. He's the apple of Duo's eye, as the saying goes. Alex has mostly Duo's personality but he uses my glare when someone upsets him or his sisters. He has brown hair and he's growing it long to be like Duo's hair. He also has brown eyes and has a tan complexion.

The next one we adopted was a three-year-old girl named Keira. She's five now and she's my baby. Duo says she has me wrapped around her little finger. I don't quite agree, it's just if she needs something and I can get it for her I will. She has strawberry blond hair and green eyes. She has it cut short to resemble mine but in a more girlish manner.

We just adopted another child, about a year ago. She's 12 months old now and we named her Helen and she's our baby. She has blond hair now but her mother had brown hair so we think she'll have brown hair when she gets older. She has baby blue eyes and a grin that could rival Duo's on a good day.

It's really too early to wake up the kids but today isn't just any other day. No, today Duo is leaving for a three-month mission for the Preventers. He's leaving today and for three months we won't be able to talk to him or know where he is. I just hope I can handle this. Duo has always been the one who stayed home while I was away on a mission but this mission needed his skills and not mine. I sigh silently and wake up the children. They are still in their pajamas while I make their breakfast. Helen is the only one not awake, since it's better to let her sleep than waking her this early.

I heard the shower stop and now he's coming down the stairs dressed in his uniform and ready to go. I put the plates of the children's breakfast on the table as well as Duo's and then start towards the stairs. I pass by him and brush my hand against him then make my way upstairs for a shower. Since he's leaving I feel he should get the privilege of getting the children dressed and ready to go.

We're walking through the hanger and I can see the transport shuttle sitting on the tarmac all prepared to take off. I'm holding Alex's hand and balancing Helen on my hips. Duo walks beside me and is holding Keira like I'm holding Helen. I look around and see other people saying goodbye to their loved ones. We walk as far as we can go and then stand off to the side so we can have some space. Duo turns to look at us and he smiles for us. I smile slightly back but Keira is pouting, "Daddy, I don't want you to go."

Duo looks at Keira gently and pushes a lock of hair behind her head, "I know, sweetie, but we talked about this. I have to go."

"Yeah, I `member. You said you're are going to stop the bad guys."

"That's right. Now you be good for your Otousan and brother okay?"

"Yes, Daddy."

"That's my girl." Duo then sets Keira on the ground and kneels in front of Alex. He gives Alex a hug, "Now, Alex, I'm counting on you to watch out for your sisters, Okay?"

Alex grabs Keira's hand, "Yes daddy."

"That's my boy."

Duo then stands and looks at Helen. She looks at him and holds out her hands to him, asking silently to be held. She starts to talk to him but she can't really form sentences yet. Duo smiles and nods as if he can understand everything she's saying. He caresses her head and kisses her forehead, "Be good." Is all he says to her. Then he looks at me. He caresses my cheek and smiles at me. He leans in and gives me a very sweet kiss. He starts to back away from the kiss but I lean forward to prolong it just for a few more seconds. He pulls back fully and then gives me an impish smile, "See ya soldier boy."

"See ya, fly boy."

It was a tradition that we came up with during the war. When he first said it, I was going on a mission and I didn't understand it then so I just walked away. But after a few times he did it that it kind of became a habit. Then when he went on a mission, I wanted to say the same back to him but I didn't want to use the same words. It just happened that he was flying a shuttle off somewhere and I remembered a phrase he had told me the first time he met me. So I said, "See ya, fly boy." The look he gave me was radiant but at the time we were just friends. It wasn't until after Mariemaia that we became serious. Now we use that phrase anytime either of us goes on a mission. We never say I love you or goodbye when leaving on a mission. At first, it was Duo who did it as a superstition then it just stuck. It feels weird if we try to do it any different.

Duo picks up his bag and starts to walk towards the transport. I see Quatre and Wufei running to catch up and I look around for Trowa. I know Duo won't look back at me, it's another superstition of his. Something about if you looked back you weren't going to come back. I find Trowa holding hands with his two children, Jason (5) and Lana (9). They adopted just like Duo and I did.

Trowa walks up to us and stands beside me as we watch the rest of the crew get into the shuttle. We watch as it takes off and we keep watching until we can't see it anymore. I sigh, a heavy sigh and Trowa does the same. We turn around and go home.

It has already been a month and I miss Duo dearly. The children do as well, and they are expressing it as best as they can. There have been a few temper tantrums and Alex has even talked back to me. I just sternly told them I wouldn't accept that type of behavior, and after awhile they finally settled even though they aren't happy that Duo isn't here. On a more positive note Helen has been attempting to walk. And I have videotaped every attempt so Duo could see it when he gets back. I still wish Duo was here though.

It's nearing the end of the third month and I can't wait until Duo is back. Helen is walking now, and I'm so excited even if it's tempered with sadness that Duo wasn't here to see it. I haven't been sleeping well for the past couple of weeks. I, either, have nightmares where Duo is dead or dying and I can't help him or I have the most erotic dreams of him and me. I either wake up sweating and scared or with a hard on and have to relieve myself in the bathroom. Tonight it was a nightmare and I can't get back to sleep. It's three am and it's two days before they're supposed to be returning. I would take sleeping pills but I need to be alert in case the children needed me.

I make tea and sit down on the couch with a book to read so I can relax. As I was getting into the book, I hear the phone ring. Who could be calling, I wondered. I picked up the phone and all I heard was that the man is from the Preventers. There's only one reason a Preventer was calling me and my world crashed around me.
