Chapter 10
Heero cursed as he looked under the hood of the car. The damn thing wouldn't start again. As much as he knew Relena loved the car, he knew it wasn't reliable transportation. And he refused to even think about taking her anywhere on his motorcycle. Not now anyway. They would have to buy a new one.
"Octavio! Get away from that chicken!" Relena yelled from inside the house.
Heero openly smirked as their 'baby' got into trouble again. They should have named him mischief instead of the refine sounding Octavio. No longer a little kitten, he was a full grown ball of fur covered trouble. Heero finally gave up on the engine and closed the hood. Only two years old, the car was a veritable lemon. He would have to go back to the dealer and gently persuade him into giving them a new car.
"Heero, dinner's ready." Relena called, stepping out on the porch. She looked positively beautiful in her pregnancy. Although she was petite in size, the doctor told them she was handling the weight well. After one miscarriage, she had been scared her mental state was the cause, and refused to try again. But after months of talking about it, they tried and hit the jackpot.
"Alright, I'm coming." Heero said, wiping his hands on a dirty rage. Stepping onto the porch she smiled at him before opening the door, shooing him inside to wash himself up. He stepped into the bathroom to clean up.
After they had run away, Heero took Relena to a small township. It was far from everything and everybody they knew and that's where they have lived for the past two years. Not wanting to be cruel, Heero had called Milliardo and told them Relena was safe and he would be taking care of her. He remembered that conversation as if it were yesterday.
"Yuy, you bastard! Where have you taken Relena?" Milliardo screamed at the vid-screen. Noin and Pagan anxiously stood behind him.
"I won't let anyone lock her away like she's insane. She's not." Heero glared.
"Heero, you know we love her. We would never do that." Noin pleaded to him. Pagan nodded his head to that.
"I know you love her. But I have to keep her safe." Heero stated.
"Where is she?" Milliardo said, silently cursing Heero in every language he knew. He was so frustrated, if he could, he would have shot the young man right then and there.
"I won't tell you where. Just know I will take good care of her." Heero said.
"Heero, we know that, but running away won't help her." Noin said.
"She's slowly dying here. She doesn't know what to think anymore. All she worries about is everyone else, not herself. I won't let this continue.The damn media is always hounding her. All these damn doctors telling her all kinds of shit to get well and it's not doing anything but making her worse. It stops here!" Heero shouted
Milliardo slammed his fist to the table next to the screen. "You're not a damn doctor! She needs medical help. What if your taking her away makes her worse?"
"But what if it makes her better? We need each other and nothing else. I'll get her the best help I can find, but it'll be on my terms. I won't have her pumped full of drugs or put through therapy that only hurts her more. Look, I know you think my taking her away from you means you'll never see you again. It doesn't. I'll keep in touch. She loves you. You'll see her again. Good bye."
After that he'd cut the link. It was two months later when they had finally contacted Milliardo and Noin again. They were so relieved to see her, no angry words had been said between the two men. She had reassured her family she was happy and they all talked for hours about her recovery, where they were staying, and their marriage. Heero had gotten a private kick out of seeing the anger on Milliardo's face, but knew the older man would wisely hold his tongue for Relena's sake. Essentially, they were living the quote, unqoute good life. They were happily married, having a baby in three months, and know one knew where they were except friends and family.
"Heero, stop daydreaming. Your foods getting cold." Relena tapped him lightly on the forehead.
He blinked before smiling down at her glowing face. "Sorry, I was thinking about something."
"Did you fix the car?" she asked, walking into the kitchen. She pulled out her seat and grimaced as Heero had to help her seat down. Nonchalantly, she took her medication before taking a sip of water.
"That thing is scrap. I'll have to get another one." Heero grumbled as he sat down himself.
"Just please don't threaten that poor man again. I don't think his bladder can stand it, Heero." Relena smirked. She cut into her chicken as she quietly laughed.
"That was not my fault. It wasn't!" Heero said, laughing in return.
**************
Three months later Duo came home late at night to a loud screaming and thumping noise. Worrying about Hilde, he silently pulled out his revolver from the back of his pants pocket. Walking quietly to the front door, he listened at the door before kicking it open. It hung loosely to one side.
Startled, Hilde froze before rolling her eyes. "Wha- Duo, you idiot! You know you know you're going to have to fix that damn door!" Hilde snapped from her living room couch.
Duo seeing there was no intruder murdering his girlfriend, put his gun away grumbling. "Don't be scaring the shit out of me, Hil. I thought someone was killing you. Why the hell were you yelling?"
"Because dummy, Joseph Christopher Yuy was just born at Victoria hospital. All 8 lbs of him. Heero told me he looks just like Relena, hair and eyes and all." Hilde grinned.
"What? All right! Who'd ever think that cold fish I first met years ago would be having a baby before me. That's great." Duo smiled, He sat next to her on the couch before leaning his head on her shoulder.
"So when are we going to have a rug rat of our own, Hilde?" he asked playfully. He knew what she'd say. The same answer she always gave.
"When I have a ring on my finger." Hilde said, pulling his braid playfully.
"I've been meaning to do something about that." Duo casually said, lifting his head.
When he reached into his back pocket, Hilde lost all her hearing and sight as she waited anxiously.
Taking an exuberant amount time to tease, Duo pulled out a white jeweler's box. Getting off the couch to kneel in front of her, Duo smiled at her. Playfulness aside, he was just as anxious for her answer. He opened the box and she sighed as she saw her engagement ring. Instead of the usual diamond ring, Duo had chosen an sapphire with tiny diamonds circling it. He knew her too well.
"Marry me?" Duo asked.
"You'd do anything to get out of trouble, wouldn't you? I'm no longer mad about the door, but-"
"Damnit, Hilde, you better say yes!" Duo griped, trying to get the smile off his face. She truly was the perfect companion for him. She was a natural tease just like him!
"Yes." Hilde said, before falling off the couch to put her arms around his shoulders. She kissed his lips and he visibly sighed.
*************
Milliardo was thrilled to be an uncle and was exceedingly cheerful the day Heero called. Watching him, Noin was tickled with his reaction. If he was happy now, the news she had to give him would probably give him a coronary.
Wanting to break the news gently, Noin took her husband into their bedroom. Her actions started to worry him as he noticed her fumbling with her long shirt. Getting nervous from her nervousness, Milliardo grabbed her shoulders.
"Lu, just tell me what's wrong." he said.
"I'm pregnant." she said, clenching her eyes shut as she blurted it out. The hard thumping noise made her open her eyes. She gawked in disbelief as her strong, can handle any crisis husband was laid out on the floor unconscious. Looking down at him, she started giggling before she bent over in full blown laughter.
*I can't wait to give birth!*
*************
Relena lovingly gazed down at her son, rocking back and forth in her rocking chair. He hungrily drank as she breast fed him. She'd never thought this possible. After David, she felt adrift, but Heero and her family and friends had been a tremendous help. The suicide attempt from her bedroom window had been the breaking point for both her and Heero. Once they were away, he had gotten her a good doctor and a change in medication. Going one step further, he even participated in her sessions. Without Heero and his unwavering support, she wouldn't be where she was right now. She wouldn't have Joseph.
He suckled for a few more moments then quietly stopped. She smiled, knowing that was a sign he had fallen asleep. He usually stayed awake after she burped him for a few minutes before going to sleep.
"Guess, you were tired, sweetie. Let's put you down." Relena whispered, bending down to kiss his little head. She lifted him gently up in her arms to lay his head on her shoulder as she carried him to his crib. Having a lot of practice, Relena lowered him down on slowly as not to wake him.
"Sleep?" Heero whispered from the door of the nursery. She gave a nod and Heero came into the room to look down at their baby.
"He's so beautiful. We're so blessed." Relena softly spoke, smiling at her husband.
"Yes, we are." Heero replied, slinking his arm around her waist. He bent to kiss the top of her head. Her hair had grown in the two years and was now past her shoulders. He ran his hand through her silky locks.
"Come on. Let's go to bed." she smiled, putting her arms around his waist, leading him out of the room.
Once inside the room their lips instantly met. The darkness of their room made the moment more heated between them. Heero leaned her against the door, griping her firmly in his arms. His breath felt warm across her cheeks. The warm, firm pressure of his lips made her yield into his embrace. She opened her lips to him, curling her tongue around his in an intricate dance. He tasted her mouth greedily and Relena sighed into his mouth.
Finally, he lifted his mouth with an impatient grunt. Putting his arms underneath her, he lifted her into his arms and carried her to the bed. Gently laid her down on the bed. Swiping the pillows aside, Relena ran her hands up his arms as he came down to lie beside her. Responding to his ardor, she wrapped her arms around his neck. He touched right in the cleft between her breasts. She drew a quick, indrawn breath. Slowly, as if unwrapping a present, he slowly pulled up her nightgown. His hands smoothed over her as he brought the gown to her neck before pulling it off.
"You are so beautiful." His voice was deep and husky with emotion. A small smiled tugged at the edge of his mouth as he smoothed his hand over her neck.
She giggled at his touch. He knew she was ticklish. She put her hand at the back of his head and he bent to take her lips. "So are you."
He slid his hand over her breast. He cupped her breast, then pinched the nipple softly. Leaning down toward her breast, he brushed one with his cheek. His tongue encircled her nipple. He suckled for a few minutes before pulling away. Because she was breastfeeding, he didn't want to get her milk flowing since the baby wouldn't benefit from it.
Relena pulled his hair in revenge and he softly laughed. His knee slowly pressed between her legs, opening them. His caressing her thigh gave her heart a quick start. She stroked her nails down his backside and grinned at his intake of breathe.
No matter how many times they made love, Heero was always careful never to scare her. Therapy aside, he never wanted her to ever fear him or feel repulsed even for a second. He caressed her feminine folds and slid upward her to her. She shuddered when his thumb lightly brushed her. His thumb brushed her again, and again, increasing the pressure with each pass. She whimpered and he sighed against her shoulder as he continued touching Relena. With force and precision, his finger swept inside her. He rode easily on the dampness he called forth; turning his hand to press against her. She jerked and loudly moaned.
Not forgetting about Heero, she brought one hand around front to drag down his abdomen. She stroked the long muscles of his chest and circled his nipples with her fingertips. Sliding her hands down, she had to concentrate as she responded to his stroking. Extending her finger out, she touched him. Just the tip. His reaction was swift and he hissed as he jolted above her.
Seeing the heat in his eye and knowing hers mirrored his, Relena stroked him and enjoyed the moans he gave. No longer able to stand it, Heero took her hand away. He kissed her before he found her entrance to her body. He slowly stroked before entering. Clutching tightly, she softly cried out in pleasure as he moved unhurriedly, sliding all the way in before pulling back. Her hands grabbed at him, roaming his neck and shoulders. Their hips rocked in unison. Over and over again. They worked relentlessly, panting and moaning before they joined one another in completion.
************
The piercing screaming jerked Relena and Heero awake from their slumber. Drowsily looking at the nightstand, the clock said 4 a.m. Relena, groaned, pushing back the covers when Heero held out his hand to stop her.
"I'll get him." Heero said. He didn't have to tell her twice since she immediately flopped back down. He hid a smile as he grabbed his robe.
Heading to the crib, Heero was greeted to a screaming, quite upset Joseph. Picking the boy up, Joseph instantly stopped crying. Heero blinked in surprised before shrugging. He rocked him as he went back to the bedroom. Relena was still awake, but barely holding on. Handing her the baby, she cooed to him. They looked so much a like, Heero couldn't help but stare. Same blue eyes and coloring. Just like his mother, Joseph's eyes reached deep into Heero's soul. He was internally grateful for everything he had now.
"He just wanted to be with us." Relena whispered, rocking the baby back to sleep. It only took a few moments. Once asleep again, she laid him on her chest and lovingly stroked his back. Heero got into bed beside her and drew his arm around her shoulders. She soon joined Joseph in dreamland and Heero wasn't that far behind her.
Ah! I'm happy now. That's my conclusion. Thanks to all the reviewers who encouraged me. I'm thinking about doing a sequel with another couple that will continue where this leaves off. I don't know yet. Hit me up with your ideas. Bye!
