Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Gundam Day Care ❯ Discussion ( Chapter 22 )

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.

Heero decided to talk to Hilde about arranging the engagement that had been discussed as she was a good listener and was also the mother of Priscilla. Heero punched in Hilde's number and waited until her face appeared on the screen of the vidphone.

"Hey Heero, how are things going over there? Has my lil girl been good?"

Heero was not sure how to answer Hilde on that question. Things had been good but the reason why he had called was to discuss the arranged marriage that Duo had been so thrilled about…perhaps too eager about it too.

"Heero are things ok?"

"Uh, yea. There is no need to worry. Priscilla is fine however her future is quite unpredictable at the moment."

Panic found its way upon Hilde's face. Even her voice had raised itself an octave higher, showing the level of anxiety.

"Unpredictable? Heero what's going on? Please tell me that it's not another war!"

"Who said anything about war?" Heero was confused. "I just wanted to know if you were ok with Priscilla being pre-engaged to David. You know like Wufei's arranged marriage?"

Hilde had her mouth open ready to give Heero an earful when she realised that Heero had bowed his head in a most apologetic manner as if to say `its really not in my control at the moment, SPARE ME! Please give the earful to Duo not me' and quickly reconsidered her words.

"Oh my…Do Quatre and Trowa know yet?"

Heero lifted his head. "Thank you for understanding. No they don't know…yet. However I should tell you that we asked both children what they thought of each other. Priscilla said she wanted to be David's wife and David wanted to be Priscilla's husband. I know that they are both kids and very young ones at that too."

Hilde nodded for Heero to continue.

Heero sighed. " To be totally honest I guess I'm not being the best parent. Hilde I'm acting on my emotions again."

Hilde shook her head sympathetically.

"Heero its alright to act on your emotions this time and I give Priscilla permission so don't worry about it too much ok?"

"Thanks Hilde. You have made this much easier for me."

Hilde smiled kindly. "That's ok but I want you to remember to smile more else you'll get frown lines and creases in your forehead before you know it. AND you know how much Duo would hate that."

"Hai and arigato(1) Hilde."

Heero ended the call and breathed a sigh of relief. That was one down…two more to go. He punched in the number and waited. Heero was completely shocked when Quatre picked up. Usually the call would get to his secretary who would put him on hold for about ten minutes before diverting his call to Quatre.

"Hey Heero! What's up? Wait don't tell me…my space heart is telling me that this has something to do with the kids…but it's a good thing because I'm not hurting."

Heero was baffled at how Quatre managed to surprise him twice in less than a minute.

"Uh, I don't know how you managed to figure that out but you've made my job a whole lot easier. Since you already know will you give your permission?"

"Heero, I've always trusted you to be a great parent. Especially after opening the day care center. I've seen you change so much but seeing that you actually called I'm guessing that this is something more important than taking David to the zoo?"

Heero nodded.

"Quatre this is a whole lot more important than going to the zoo." He said in a serious tone.

"How serious?"

"So serious that Duo and Wufei have bets on your reaction."

"Duo thinks I'm going to cry?"

"Yes."

Quatre took a deep breath.

"Ok Heero. I've braced myself. I promise I won't cry for your sake."

This time it was Heero's turn to take a deep breath.

"Quatre, your son wants an arranged marriage with my daughter. He told us that he wants to be Priscilla's husband…and well she said she wanted to be David's wife."

Two very small tears trickled down Quatre's face.

"Now I've already called Hilde and she's given the green light. Its all up to you and"

Heero was cut off Quatre's loud sobs. Yep he was crying all right.

"Sorry Heero, but that makes me so happy. Its wonderful news oh sob…sob…Heero I'll get back to you…sob…sob"

The vidphone blanked out.

`Well that went well.' Thought Heero. `I've got two yeses and a crying Quatre to take care of.'

Outside, the children were helping Wufei plant flowers in the garden. Wufei held out a bag of seeds and told the children to grab a handful each. He watched them as they scattered the seeds onto the ground and cover then with some soil. He did not notice David doing the same thing with a few watermelon seeds he had collected from the morning's breakfast. After watering the newly planted seeds Wufei explained how to care for them.

"This is our flowerbed and we must take care of it. I am giving you the responsibility of looking after it. You must water the flowers everyday and if you see any weeds, pull them out of the ground. I am teaching you here a very important lesson. Hard work will provide you with good results. As I have seen the both of you working hard today I am sure that you will be extremely happy with the fruits of your labour once you see them."

David smiled at Wufei's statement. He could not wait to see the smiles on his uncles' faces when he could present to them the fruits of his hard labour.
