How Can Words Describe

Prologue

~AC 198~

Vice Foreign Minister Relena Peacecraft sat on the edge of the fountain in the center of the garden surrounding her mansion. The water that spurted from the tope of the fountain sprinkled Relena's stiff business suit, but she was too deep in thought to notice that she was now drenched.
She had been sitting there for almost an hour thinking about her life and what it had become. She had been Vice Foreign Minister for almost two years and in that two years had thought of nothing but peace. But now her mind was not on peace. Now her mind was on the former Gundam pilot, Heero Yuy. Until a month ago he had been an undercover Preventer and a personal bodyguard to Relena.
One night a month ago she had woken up to find him sitting on the edge of her bed.
~ Flashback~
"Heero?" Relena said as she sat up in bed. "What are you doing here so late?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. I just had to see you before I left."
Relena started to get worried. "Where are you going?"
" I have to go to the colonies. There have been reports of fights breaking out. They are sending me on an undercover mission to she if I can find out what is happening. Don't worry, they don't think it's very serious ...yet. I'm just going for information. I should be back in a few months."
A lone tear fell down Relena's face. "But... why can't they send someone else? I need you here."
Heero gently put his hand on the side of her face and wiped away her tear with his thumb. "I really am sorry Relena, but I'm the best person for the job. And it will only be four months at the most, I promise."
She put her hand over his, "I know but... be careful, please! I don't know what I would do without you." The last sentence came out barley above a whisper and more tears welled up in her eyes. "Oh, Heero. I, I ...I love you!" With those last three words all the tears she had been holding back broke free and ran down her face. Heero moved closer to her, and then rapped his arms around her. She in turn hung her arms around his neck and continued to cry onto his chest. He then cupped her face in his hands. "I have always loved you and always will. I promise I will come back to you." With that he caught her lips with his and kissed her with all the passion he'd had bottled up for years.

They went further that night then either had anticipated on going. The next morning Relena was not surprised to find Heero gone. The worst part was that lately she had been waking up sick and she had the feeling that it wasn't the stomach flu.
"What am I going to do?", she said as she started to cry.
