Peace Children Chapter 15

Duo held Heero, basking in the afterglow. "We were pretty loud," he said, stroking the younger boy's hair.

"Yep," Heero replied, purring in contentment. He nuzzled Duo's chin.

"How much longer do you think we got before Odin runs up here and disembowels me for touching his little boy?" Duo asked, yawning.

"Don't worry about it," Heero snuggled further into Duo's embrace. "They didn't hear us." Heero inhaled Duo's scent and drifted off to sleep.

'How could they not hear us?' Duo thought before shrugging and following Heero into slumber.

"Who do you feel?" Catherine asked Kali, keeping her eyes on the road as she drove.

"My twin," Kali replied distractedly. She was trying to contact Heero. 'Heero,' she thought to him. 'Wake up.'

'Huh?' she heard him think. 'Who's there?'

'It's me. Kali,' she replied. 'How are you?'

'I-I can feel you again,' Heero thought, happy for that. He shook his head. 'No. Go away. We're enemies now. Get out of my head.'

'At least tell me how you are,' Kali begged. 'We've never been this far apart!'

Heero looked down at Duo. 'I'm fine,' he said.

'Okay,' Kali thought, defeated. 'I won't bother you again. Goodbye.'

"Duo, wake up," Heero nudged his lover. "We have to get up."

"Unn... Just a few more minutes," Duo mumbled, half asleep.

"No, love, wake up," Heero said, poking Duo a little harder. "We have to talk."

Duo buried his head further into the pillow. "Let me sleep," he said, the words muffled by the pillow.

'Wake up, NOW!' Heero screamed into Duo's mind. This scared Duo so bad, he fell out of the bed.

"What was that?!" Duo demanded from his spot on the floor.

"That's what we need to talk about," the younger boy replied. "Seems we *mated*, not just had sex."

"What?!" Duo asked, scooting back at the word 'mated'. He winced as his hand was gashed by the glass from the broken mirror.*

Heero saw this and went to Duo to check his hand. The hand was sliced pretty bad, but it was already beginning to heal. Heero picked the glass out of the hand before the skin closed up over it.

"Just as I thought," Heero said, massaging Duo's hand after the skin reknitted together. Duo was staring at his hand with wonder.

"What just happened?" he asked Heero.

"We mated," Heero said simply. "We made love instead of fucking, and now we're bonded. You've received some of my powers as a result. That's why your hand healed so fast, and why I was able to mind-speak with you. Mating is a forever thing; from now on, we're together. No matter what."

Duo gulped. His mind kept going back to the word 'mate.' The whole getting powers thing was cool, and he had already planned on being with Heero forever, but he didn't want children yet. "So we mated," Duo said slowly. "Are you pre-preg..." He trailed off, unable to say the word.

"Pregnant?" Heero supplied. Duo nodded to show that was what he'd been trying to say. "I don't think so. I mean, sure there *are* species of Mysticals where the males get pregnant, but... I don't think so."

Duo nodded in a daze. "Shouldn't we get back down there?" he asked to try and get his mind off the thought of Heero's possible pre - preg-... Damn! He couldn't even think the word! "The others might get worried about us."

"They shouldn't. To them, it's only been about twenty minutes." Heero said, smirking. "I kind of slowed down time... They didn't hear us, either. I soundproofed the room."

"Oh, okay," Duo said. "Well, then, let's go."

Heero chuckled as Duo started to walk toward the door without a stitch of clothes on. "We might need to be less naked first."

"Kali. Earth to Kali. Come in, Kali," Catherine took one hand off the steering wheel to wave in the girl's face. "Are you okay?"

"Huh? Yeah," Kali replied dazedly. She had been thinking of her conversation with Heero, and what he hadn't told her. Her brother mated with someone, and he didn't even tell her. "What were you saying?"

"I asked if you wanted to stop for the night," Cathy said.

"Sure. Yeah. Why don't we stop at the next motel?"

Catherine smiled. "Okay. I think I saw a sign a little ways back that said one should be right around here." As she spoke, the Batt Inn came into view. Catherine pulled the car into the parking lot and got out. "You stay here. I'll get us a room."

Kali nodded, and Catherine walked into the registration office. Kali turned on the car's radio and fiddled with the knobs as Cathy was getting them a room. She didn't notice the older woman was back until she got back in the car.

"They only had a single left," she said. "There's a convention or something in town."

Kali nodded her understanding. She turned off the radio and got out of the car. "Lead the way," she said, motioning Catherine in front of her.
