Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Gundam Day Care ❯ The Beginnings of a new Life ( Chapter 17 )

Disclaimer: Please do not sue. I have no money. I spent it fixing my computer so I could write this fic. I do not own any of the gundam pilots. Don't even bother trying to sue.

Please do not steal any of my ideas. I worked long and hard on it.

Please read and review. It's the only way I can make this fic/series better. Want to post it somewhere? Be my guest. But please tell me where by emailing me.

A/N: Sorry for taking so long to post this chapter. So sorry…very very sorry.

Nothing can separate us now thought Heero. We are going to lead lives like normal people. He relaxed into his seat and watched Duo teaching the children play a game.

"Ok now, you hold the bat like this. You swing the bat to hit the ball like so and once you've hit the ball you drop the bat and I repeat you drop the bat not throw and run to the other side where I've marked the safe line. Ok?"

Heero watched as Duo walked to the other cricket stump. For now Priscilla was batter, David was wicket keeper and Duo was bowler.

"Priscilla, keep your eyes on the ball and remember how I showed you to hit the ball. I'm going to bowl you a mulligrubber to make it easy on you."

Priscilla nodded and narrowed her eyes in concentration. Heero watched as Duo delivered the mulligrubber, which to Heero's surprise turned out to be a ball rolling slowly on the ground from Duo's side of the stump to David's.

That was too easy. Priscilla whacked the ball with all her might and watched the ball sail up in the air higher and higher and then down right into the gutter on the roof. Heero watched Priscilla's expression turn from awe to despair. In fact she looked like she was about to cry.

"Its ok sweetheart, I'll get the ball later. I have a few more with me here. But maybe you should give the bat to David and let him have a go at batting." Duo said quickly as he fished out another cricket ball from his pocket.

Obediently, Priscilla handed the bat to David and took up her spot as wicket keeper. Duo delivered the same talk to David about not throwing the bat and keeping his eyes on the ball. Then he bowled the in exactly the same manner as before. David swung his bat and CRACK. He had swung the bat too far back and had made contact with Priscilla's left arm.

"Oh man! That so wasn't supposed to happen!" exclaimed Duo. "Priscilla, are you alright?" He ran towards her but Heero beat him to her.

"Priscilla does it hurt?" Heero asked. Stupid question to ask Yuy, of course it would hurt he thought. Carefully he held out Priscilla's arm. He stopped when he heard her whimper in pain.

"I understand that you are in pain but I'm going to have to set your arm before I send you to the hospital." He said softly to his daughter, trying to sound as soothing as possible.

"You are doing nothing of the sort." Duo said. Heero say that his eyes were glowing with shock and surprise.

"Why not? Don't you trust me to fix our daughters arm?"

"Oh I trust you and all. Man it still grosses me out just thinking about it. You setting your own leg without anesthetic and all back then, I have no idea how you could bear the pain. But for Christ's sake…our daughter is only four!!! How on earth do you think she would be able to cope with pain like that?!"

Heero thought about it. Duo's words made sense. Priscilla was still a kid and his strength might just hurt the child. Heero certainly didn't want that to happen.

"Ok if I'm not fixing it then I'll teach her how to fix it."

"WHAT?!" Duo could not believe what he had just heard. Heero was going to teach Priscilla how to set her own bones at the age of four? Had Heero gone crazy?

"I want you to hold your arm there. Now give it a pull, no not that way, the other way. Good!"

"Daddy it hurts."

"I know but we need to get your arm fixed and Daddy Duo won't let me help you ok? Now this part will hurt the most. You just take your wrist gently and push up. Just a little bit though and I'll go get you a bandage to wrap your arm up."

Priscilla squeezed her eyes shut, held her wrist and pushed up. She cried out in pain and a few tears streamed down her face.

"See that wasn't so bad, was it?" Heero said softly as he bandaged her arm.

THUD

Priscilla, Heero and Duo turned around to see David lying on the ground unconscious. There was a short silence before Duo realized what had happened. He went over to the child and picked him up. Heero heard his partner cuss as he picked up the child and carried him into the house.

"He just had to inherit his father's empathetic powers didn't he?"

Heero turned his attention back to his injured daughter. I guess leading normal lives isn't as simple as it seems he mused.
