How Can Words Describe

Chapter 7

Heero and Relena were now on a shuttle to earth after receiving a distressing phone call from Duo telling them that Milliardo/Zechs had been shot and trouble was brewing. That all had happened about ten hours earlier and now Heero, Relena and their two week-old children were about to land at the Qinc Kingdom Interplanetary Shuttle-port.
"Would all passengers please fasten seat belts and prepare for landing. We will be on the ground in about ten minutes," came the voice of the pilot over the intercom.
"I always hated shuttle landings no matter how many time I went to space!" said Relena.
"Don't worry. Not thing else bad could possibly happen," said Heero as he put his arm around Relena's shoulder while still managing to hold Mitchell in his other arm.
"I don't think I've ever heard something so optimistic come out of your mouth," said Relena with a smirk. The only response she received from him was a "Humph".

Soon after that they found themselves exiting the shuttle in to the Shuttle-port. People stood on the other side of a railing waiting for family and friends, but only one of the many people behind the railing hand come to greet the former Queen of the Earth and the Perfect Solider. It didn't take Heero but a minute to spot the braided idiot. As soon as they got past the railings Duo ran up the them.
"What took you two so long?"
"Well it not like we were planing on up and going to earth today you know. And moving two small babies isn't easy," replied Relena.
"Don't you have a wife and child to watch over instead of bugging us?"
"Well surprisingly Hilde and Conrad don't get into nearly as much trouble as you do. The Perfect Solider my @$$!"
Heero shot Duo the mother of all death glares but unsurprisingly it had no affect on the God of Death.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that if you make a face long enough it will stick that way?" said Duo which only succeeded in making Heero's expression worsen. Relena finally decided that she was tired of watching the ultimate battle of The Serious Calm Dangerous Quiet and Pride Ruled VS. The Silly Funny Loud Obnoxious and Suicidal, so she stepped in between Heero and Duo.
"All right I think that you have both proven that you are as mature as 3rd graders. Heero, I'm going to go check into a hotel and rest for a while. I'll take Mitchell and Claire with me. You should go with Duo to the hospital. Everyone is in for a big surprise but what ever you do don't tell anyone I'm here. My brother might have a hard attack when he sees you and when he finds out that you got me pregnant... well let's just say you don't want to be anywhere near him!"
The look on Heero's face made Relena sure that he had not yet thought of that.
"Ok. You should stop by the hospital later today once everyone has gotten over me being alive. You might as well bring Mitchell and Claire with you. We can kill two birds with one stone."

So Relena went and got a hotel room at some fancy place and Heero and Duo approached the lion's den. An hour later both men were standing on the other side of the waiting room door at the hospital.
"So how are we going to do this?" asked Duo. Heero just shrugged his shoulders. At that very moment the door swung open. Quatre walked out the door and, without even noticing Duo or Heero, started down the hall.
"Hey! Q-man!" Duo called after Quatre. Quatre spun around, his shoes making a squeaking sound on the polished tiles.
"Hey, Duo! Who...?" Quatre greeted Duo but stopped when he saw who was standing next to Duo. For a moment Quatre just stood there, staring at Heero, then started to waver on his feet, and finally fell down in a cold faint.
"Well... one down and everyone but Quatre to go. That went...ok...considering Quatre."
It didn't take long for someone from inside the waiting room to come and see what made the 'thud' sound. Wufei was next to exit the waiting room. The first thing he saw was Quatre laying on the floor out cold. Then he saw Duo.
"What happened here Maxwell?"
Duo just pointed to Heero who was standing behind Wufei. Wufei spun around to look straight at Heero and his patented Death Glare. For a second nothing happened, then Wufei broke out screaming and ran back into the waiting room. Heero could just make out him saying something about ghosts and living dead but the rest was in Chinese.
About a minute after Wufei ran into the room the entire contents of the waiting room exploded into the now packed hall. There were so many people and commotion that no one noticed Heero.
"Will everyone please calm down so we can see what Wufei was talking about?" came Noin's superior voice over the crowd. Suddenly everyone was quiet.
"Now, Wufei, what did you see?"
"I saw Heero's ghost!"
"Were?"
"Right here in the hall!"
"If you don't mind I think I can explain," said Duo.
"This had better not have been one of your jokes, Maxwell!"
"No it wasn't," Duo said as he stepped to the side to reveal Heero who had been standing behind him. There was an audible gasp. Lady Une stepped forward and stood in front of Heero.
"But you are dead."
Heero shook his head; "There was a mix up at the hospital I was taken to after being shot in the shoulder. They got my files mixed up with the person I shot. When he died they thought I was him."
"Wow! Pretty bad mix up! But were have you been for the past 10 month if you weren't dead?"
"I was looking for Relena." Suddenly everyone in the hall looked down at the floor. Heero took that moment to walk away. He went into the waiting room and picked a particularly shadowed wall and leaned against it with his arms crossed. Eventually everyone came back into the room along with Quatre who was woken up and filled in on what had happened during his 'nap'.

About an hour later a nurse came in to the room informing everyone the Zechs had just gotten out of surgery and was doing well. She also told them that they could see him once he woke up which was estimated to be a while. Not long after the nurse left there came the crying of a baby on the other side of the door. Then another one started. It didn't take Heero long to figure out who it was. Duo was the only one who noticed Heero's expression change when the baby's cry could be heard.
Outside in the hallway Relena was holding Mitchell and Claire who were bother crying. She couldn't get past the security guard that was posted in the hall to protect her brother.
"But Sir..."
"Look lady I'm sorry. But only people with proper identification can pass through this hall," the guard said in a crude voice.
"But I'm Relena Peacecraft. I must see my brother!"
"Ha Ha! That's a good one lady. But if you didn't notice Relena Peacecraft has long, straight, blond hair and you have short, curly, brown hair. Not only that but your too fat to me Relena Peacecraft," the offensive guard announced. Relena swiftly slapped the man across the face some how managing to pull it off with two babies in her arms. True she had cut, dyed, and permed her hair along with gaining a little wait during her pregnancy but the man was still being rude.
One of the doors behind the guard opened as Heero stepped out into the hall. He came up from behind the guard who was still in shock from being slapped. Once the guard heard Heero foot stepped he spun around to face him. He quickly straightened up and gave a smart military solute to Heero. Needless to say Heero did not return the solute.
"What is the matter here officer?" Heero asked in a demanding tone.
"This lady was trying to see Milliardo Peacecraft without proper identification. Then she claimed to be Relena Peacecraft, Sir," was the guard's answer.
"Let her pass she has my permission."
"Sorry Sir but I'm only to take orders for General Une." Big Mistake Number 1!
"Did you just turn down a direct order from me?"
"Sorry Sir but those are my instructions."Big Mistake Number 2!
"Do you know who I am?"
"No Sir and I could careless!" Big Mistake Number 3! Three striks and your out!
"I am Colonel Heero Yuy Former Gundam Pilot and the lady behind you is Princess Relena Peacecraft-Yuy of the Qinc Kingdom. Ms. Peacecraft has with her, her two children Mitchell Conroy Yuy and Claire Louise Yuy. I suggest you apologize to her and stand aside before I get mad."
The ignorant guard suddenly seemed very scared proving how notorious Heero Yuy was.
"My humblest apologies Mrs. Peacecraft, Ma'am!" the guard said facing Relena and bowing. When he was done apologizing he stepped aside allowing Relena and her two crying children more then enough room to pass.
When Relena reached Heero she passed him Claire, who abruptly stopped crying, causing Mitchell to stop as well.
"You didn't have to scare him."
"It was fun," Heero said with a slight smirk on his face.
"And why did you say Relena Peacecraft-Yuy? We aren't married."
"To get my point across. And we will be married soon enough."
Relena just smiled at his last comment. They both stopped outside the waiting room.
"I'll go in first. We'll see how it goes from there." Said Heero as he opened the door to the privet waiting room.
Everyone looked up as Heero reentered the doorway.
"What was...?" said Wufei but he stopped short when he saw the baby in Heero's arms.
"What's with the baby Heero?" asked Dorothy.
"Uhhhhh..." was all the Heero could manage.
Everyone looked a little surprised to see Heero speechless. True he didn't say much but when he actually did speak he knew exactly what he was going to say.
From behind the door Relena heard all this and decided to make her big entrance.
"Hey! Who are you and why are you in here?" said Noin.
"Oh, Hi Noin!"
Noin looked a little confused.
Hilde who was sitting beside Noin looked at Relena thoughtfully then suddenly her eyes grew to the size if saucers.
"Relena!" she jumped up from her seat, ran over to Relena, and gave her hug as well as she could around Mitchell. Everyone looked a little dazed except Heero and Duo.
"Oh Relena! Is that really you? Where have you been? I missed you so much and your brother was so mad. But you changed your hair! I like it! But what is with the baby?" Hilde started to spurt out words so fast that it made Relena head spin. Hilde opened her mouth to say something else but Relena cut her off.
"Calm down, Hilde. I'll answer all your questions just give me a sec' will ya'." Relena said with more of an accent then she meant to.
"So were is the mother of the two babies?" asked Trowa.
"I'm the mother," said Relena to the shock of everyone in the room.
"But that's not possible. You left only nine months ago and this children are at least a month old," Quatre pointed out.
"I was a month pregnant when I left." Again everyone looked shocked.
"Then who is the father?" said Lady Une. Both Relena and Heero blushed but most only noticed Relena.
"Ummm...uhhh...I... um..." Relena mumbled.
"Spit it out already, Onna!" said an annoyed Wufei.
"Me," said Heero in a monotone voice.
Everyone's attention shifted from Relena to Heero.
Trowa didn't seemed moved by the sudden situation other then the fact that his eyes were a little bigger then usual. Lady Une, Noin, Dorothy, Sally, Hilde, and Catherine's eyes all bulged and their jaws all became unhinged and gaped open. Wufei was sitting in his corner mumbling something about injustice and something else in another language. Quatre looked like he was going to faint again but luckily didn't. And last but not least Duo was rolling around on the floor laughing his ass off.
