Heero's Secret and Surprise

In the months following her birth, Faith and Duo were an inseparable pair. It was rare to see duo without the baby carrier strapped to his chest or back. One day Heero got to looking for the father/ daughter combo. He found them in the hanger beneath the scrap yard, where Wing Zero and Deathscythe were being temporarily stored for general up keeping and tune- ups. Duo was working in Deathshythe's cockpit and Faith lay happily burbling in the seat. Duo would reach up every once and a while to tickle her toes causing her to emit shrill shrieks of joy.

Heero stood there and watched this scene for a while. Finally his curiosity got the better of him. " Hey Duo, what are you doing up there?" "Oh nothing." came Duo's reply. "Faith and I will see you back in the house in a few." Heero shrugged and went back up to the house, not giving it a second thought. Duo picked Faith up. "Now let's see how you like your own cockpit seat."

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~*

A week later all the boys received mission orders from Une at presenters HQ. It called for all of them to go for a total destruction mission on a distant outpost. Usually only one or two of them would sneak in and blow the place up, but this time there were MS there and Une wanted the Gundams there to take them out. She would take care of hiding the fact that the Gundams had been there.

Gathering at one of their former safe houses, aka one of Quatre's mansions, the young solders began work in a battle plan when Wufei raised an important question. "If we're all going, then who's going to watch Maxwell's little one?" All eyes turned to Duo. "Don't worry guys. I've got it all taken care of."

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~*

In the heat of battle, everyone noticed that Duo's fighting style seemed a little off. After Duo nearly got his Gundam's head cut off, Heero opened a channel to find out what was wrong. As soon as the channel opened Heero was greeted by the sound of Faith giggling. "Duo. Please tell me you don't have Faith in there with you." "Sorry Heero. I run, I hide, but I never lie." "Get out of here. Go home. We'll discuss this when I get home." Duo stuck out his tongue, turned, and left the battlefield.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Upon arriving at the house, Duo found a basket on the doorstep. "How cliché can you get?" looking around, he just barely caught sight of a pink limo pulling away. "No way. What would she be doing here?" Seeing the basket move, he picked up the note on top.

Dear Heero,

I should have told you. I was just so embarrassed about that night. You know I don't feel that way about you anymore. You and Duo are perfect together. Forgive me. I can't care for him the way I want to. I love him enough to know you can care for him far better. My love to Duo and his daughter.

Relena

Duo dropped the note and opened the envelope underneath it. Inside were a birth certificate and official custody papers. Dropping this, he pulled back the corner of the blanket. Inside lay a sleeping baby with a tuft of Heero`s unmistakable moss green hair. "Well, well, well Heero. I believe we have something far more important to discuss when you get home."

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~*

Due to the late hour, it was decided that everyone would be staying over at Heero and Duo's house. Trowa and Quatre headed straight to the gust room Heero assigned them. Wufei got a small snack and went down to the hanger to meditate.

As soon as Heero got in the door, Duo grabbed him and headed for their room. Still not saying a word, Duo thrust the note and an envelope into Heero's hands. His Jaw dropped. He nearly fell over when he saw what was in the envelope. Duo went over to the bassinet and picked up a blue bundle. "Heero…meet your son…Karl Yuy."

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~*

Quatre awoke the next morning and found a note taped to the door.

Quatre,

Knowing you, you're the first one up. Heero and I went out to

breakfast. We'll have a surprise when we get back.

Duo

P.s. we're not eloping. @_@>>>>:<<(1)

"A surprise. I wonder if it has anything to do with why Duo whisked Heero off so fast last night." Smiling he went to the kitchen to fix breakfast for the others.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~*

In town, Heero and Duo were just finishing the last of their shopping. "I guess that's everything he'll need for awhile." Duo shrugged "We can see that lawyer you looked up in an hour. "Ah," "Care to get something to eat while we wait? I think I saw a waffle house back that way." "Fine."

Two hours found Duo in the waiting room of the office of a local lawyer. Heero had wanted to authenticate the custody papers that Relena had left. Heero walked into the room shaking hands with the lawyer. "Thank you for your help." Duo looked up. "Well?" "This is his real birth certificate and the custody papers are quite legal. I have full custody of Karl. Relena can't change her mind."

Duo's smile widened. He looked down at the two baby seats and sighed. "Well we're both parents now. I guess we should get home ant tell the others."

"Hai."

"Hey Heero? I just thought of something. Can we stop at the toy store on the way home?"

"Sure, why?"

"I'd like to get the kids something special."

So the two new dads took their kids to the toy store. Going over to the stuffed animals, Duo held Faith up facing the rack. "Pick one princess." "Duo, she can't pick yet. She's too young." Just then Faith pointed o a blue and white stuffed moose. On it's sweater was embroidered the word PEACE (2). "I beg your pardon. I believe she just did." Handing the stuffed animal to his daughter, Duo turned to Heero. "Karl's turn."

Heero began to turn Karl toward the rack when he noticed that the child was sound asleep. "I'll just pick something for him." Heero picked up a stuffed toy truck. "Mission completed." Duo just shook his head.

The little family returned home just in time for lunch. The other three pilots were more than a little surprised when Heero walked in with a baby strapped to his chest. Wufei jumped up and pointed. "Is it not bad enough that Maxwell is reproducing? Where did that baby come for Yuy?"

Heero glared. "He's mine if you must know. Relena and I…" Duo finished for him. "They did the nasty too. Seems that' why Relena's been avoiding us. Everyone, may I introduce Karl Yuy." Grinning he gestured toward Heero's son. Wufei's face fell. "Um… congratulations Yuy. I think." Once everything was explained, Karl was welcomed to the household.

Over lunch, Trowa told everyone he would be returning to the circus that night, they were playing at the next colony over. "Why don't we all go too? I'd bet Cathy would love to see the babies." So it was agreed that everyone would go with Trowa for the night.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~*

The show was wonderful, as usual. Trowa and Cathy showed off their new trick involving a rotating target and smaller knives. After the show, the pilots went around and caught up with some old friend and sowed of the new additions.

Bella, the fortuneteller, offered to read the children's futures for free. The fathers settled in her tent with their little ones in their arms. Chanting over her crystal ball, Bella fell into a trance and looked up at the babies. Her eyes grew wide when they fell on Faith. "This child is destined to cause the rise and fall of many people. She shall be a prophetess of the highest order. Seeing what others can not see, knowing what others can not know, and in her womb she shall bear the future." Looking at Karl she proclaimed. "He shall be her right hand, but with his own sword he shall pierce her soul." Gazing into the ball she went on. "Together they will forge a new world, but their living eyes will never see that which they will set in motion." Gazing further into the ball, Bella continued. "Protect her well, oh you who calls yourself Death. Many will covet the power she holds and will do much to take it or destroy it." Taking a deep breath she finished. "Fate herself shrouds the rest." and the crystal went dark.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~*

On the way home, Heero and Duo discussed what had been said. "What do you think she meant Heero?" "I'm not sure, but I'm am sure that time will tell if any of it's true. Let's just keep our eyes open."

2BC…
