How Can Words Describe

Chapter 8

~12:03~

It was three hours since Relena made her big entrance. Now everyone sat around the waiting room in silence waiting for Milliardo Peacecraft to wake up from his surgery. Relena sat in a corner of the room holding Mitchell and wondering how she was going to tell her brother that she slept with his long time rival, got pregnant, ran away, got amnesia, lived on L10, met Heero again, regained her memory again, then had twins and returned to Earth. Somehow she thought that it would be a little too much information for him to take in considering his weakened condition.
It lightened her mood to see Hilde and Duo across the room. Hilde was bouncing Claire on her lap and saying what a joy it would be to have a child.
"Don't you think babies are just soooo cute, Duo? Especially Claire! I've heard that having a baby is such a joy. The way they smile and giggle at you and when they say their first word and take their first step! Don't you think it would be just great to have a baby in the house, Duo? (At this point Duo was starting to look worried) I've always wanted to be a mother and I think you would make a great daddy, Duo. (Duo's face was now white with shock and he looked about ready to have a seizure) What do you think Duo? To hear the pitter-patter of little feet around the house? I think it about time we thought about kids, Duo!"
With the last sentence Duo started coughing violently.
"Duo?" said Hilde, "Are you okay?"
"I think I need a drink of water. Be right back!" Duo managed to say when he was done coughing but he still sounded as if he had something stuck in his throat. Relena sat on the other side of the room trying in vain to stifle her giggles.
Hilde laughed, "I love doing that to him. He's so funny when he's uncomfortable like that!"
"You mean you did that on purpose just to scare him?" said Catherine in a shocked tone.
"Yep! I do it every once and a while just to get a kick out of him. I hate to see the day when we really do have to think about kids."
"Hilde you do realize that that was very mean? (Hilde nodded) I got to remember that one for the future," said Catherine as she finally broke down laughing.
"Too bad I'll never get a chance to do that," said Relena as she joined in on the laughter.
"You women have no pride and are insufferable!" said a disgusted Wufei.
"So?" said all three women at once and then they continued laughing at Duo's expense.
"Injustice!"

~3:32~

It was late and fatigue was finally starting to settle in on the occupants of the waiting room. Dorothy, Noin, Sally, and Catherine were asleep in their own chairs. It would be hard to tell if Wufei was asleep leaning against the wall if he weren't snoring. Hilde and Duo were leaning against each other fast asleep as well. (Duo had finally returned and hour after leaving to 'get a drink of water'). Relena was also asleep with her head rested against Heero's shoulder while holding Claire who was asleep as well. Heero was the only person still awake other then Trowa and he held a sleeping Mitchell in his arms.
Suddenly a nurse walked into the room, startling most from their nap.
"I was sent in here to inform everyone here the Milliardo Peacecraft is awake. As hospital policy we ask that only blood related family member see him first. Are there any relatives present?"
"I am his sister," said Relena as she stood up.
"If you would follow me please?"
"Do you want me to hold Claire for you?" asked Heero.
"No. I need to tell him now before things get complicated and before he is well enough to strangle you."
Heero raised one of his eyebrows, as if to question if Milliardo could really 'strangle' him, even in his full health, but he didn't say anything but, "Good luck"

Relena followed the nurse through a narrow hallway the whole time her heart racing and questions suddenly popping into her head that she didn't want to answer.
'What if he thinks less of me because I got pregnant? What if he hates me because it was Heero that I let get me pregnant? Will he think less of me for running from my problems? Will he still love me as his little sister? Will he disown me?!' The last question seamed a little over the edge of paranoia to Relena but the rest stuck in her mind and she knew that she had a lot of things to answer.
The nurse finally stopped in front of a door, "Right through this door"
Relena walked through the door and the nurse did not follow. Milliardo turned his head as he heard the door to his room open then close. Expecting to see Noin or Lady Une he was surprise by who actually did walk through the door.
"Relena? This must be some pretty heavy medication, they put me on, to cause me to hallucinate!"
"Sorry brother but it isn't the medication. I'm really here with you and I promise I'll never leave you again."
"But it's been nine months with no word and now suddenly you pop up out of nowhere? We thought you were dead!" Milliardo said as he started to yell.
"Shhh! Calm down yelling isn't good for your health at the moment. I know I was gone for so long but trust me I can explain..." She was cut off my Milliardo.
"Explain? Explain?! Explain to me the reason you had for suddenly leaving your duty as Vice Foreign Minister? And why I had to take up that responsibility? Explain to me why I had to go through the grief of thinking you were kidnapped or dead? Explain to me why you were gone so long? You know that there have been numerous threats towards the Cinq Kingdom since you left and war is breaking out again? Explain to me what was so important to you that you had to go and risk the peace of our father's kingdom and even the Earth and Colonies, of which you have worked so hard to obtain? Explain that to me!! ...And if you wouldn't also mind explaining to my why you are carrying a child?" By then Relena had broken into tears after suddenly realizing what a mistake she had mad in leaving her duty behind along with her brother.
"Brother please!" begged Relena "Please forgive me for causing you so much worry and sorrow. I was thinking of so many other things when I ran away that I forgot to think of all the lives I would affect by leaving. Please forgive me!"
"What was it that drove you to run in the first place?"
"I...I was... pregnant."
"WHAT?! Who is the father?! I swear I'll stretch his neck and break every bone in his body! So I guess that is your child that you are carrying?"
Relena wasn't surprised by his reaction to this piece of news it was the next thing she had to tell him that worried her.
"Yes this is my child and your niece, Claire Louise Yuy." For a second Milliardo just sat there letting the information sink into his head then he spoke again.
"Claire Louise YUY? As in relation to Heero YUY?"
"Heero is her father along with her twin brother Mitchell Conroy Yuy."
"HEERO! You let that no-good, suicidal, jerk sleep with you? Worse, you let him get you pregnant? I thought you had more sense then that Relena! I guess God did you a favor in killing him before you made anymore mistakes with him like marrying him!"
"Don't you ever talk about him that way!! I love Heero with all my heart! I can't believe you...your so self centered on you hate for him that you can't even see past it! I thought of all people, you would be able to forget and forgive..." Tears streamed down Relena's face with a vengeance as she walked out of the room with no protest from Milliardo.
