"With a Childs Heart"
Epilogue Trowa and Quatre were asleep in each other’s arms, in the waiting room of the hospital. Alice had been examined, and the doctor had said everything was fine. She had slept along for awhile, because her daddies waited for Milliardo to come out of surgery. But now, she was awake. She looked up. Her daddies were sleeping so well that she didn’t have the courage to wake them up. She decided to find Milliardo by herself, and began to wander around the corridors of the hospital. Of course, she was soon intercepted by a nurse. “What are you doing here on your own ?”, the woman asked kindly. “I am looking for a friend.” “Where are your parents ?” “They’re sleeping over there. I didn’t want to wake them up. Can you help me find my friend ?” The nurse melted in front of that pleading look and smile. “Of course. What is his name ?” “Milliardo.” “Do you know his last name ?” “No.” “It’s okay, it’s not a very common name around here. Just let me look in my files.” The nurse came to a dim-lit desk and ruffled through papers. Then she held out her hand. “Come with me. I’ll walk you here. If your parents wake up, I’ll tell them where you are.” The nurse led Alice to a single room. The sun was rising, making Milliardo’s white blond hair shine on the pillow. He was awake, and thoughtfully looking outside. His left shoulder was bandaged. His head turned to the door when he heard it open. A nurse came in. “Mr Peacecraft, you have a visitor.” She held the door open and Alice came in. The nurse left immediately. Alice climbed on the bed and sat beside Milliardo, giving him one of those quiet smiles which made the gold in her eyes dance. The young man lost himself in those ageless pools of green and smiled too. She was alive, and she was unharmed. It was due to pure luck and chance, it had owned him two months without moving his arm, but it had been worth it. Because Alice was alive and because she could smile again. Milliardo didn’t remember seeing anything as beautiful as this smile. Alice was exuding love and trust. She put her little hand on his heart. “You are still sad.” “Some parts of me will always be sad, Alice. I can’t forget my past. It is part of who I am.” “But then, some parts of you can be happy.” “Yes, some of them. Thanks to you.” “To me ?” Milliardo caressed her cheek with a long finger. “To you. You can’t imagine what you did for me.” “I am glad I could help.” She looked outside the window. “Look ! Birds!” “They are beautiful.” “Do you think Daddy and Papa would agree for me to have a bird ?” “Maybe you should ask them, but I don’t think they will object.” Silence fell. The two of them just watched the birds singing joyfully in the rising sun. Alice’s touch was soothing and comforting. “You all came to get me”, Alice finally said. “Why ?” “Because we love you. Because we couldn’t let anything happen to you.” “Why do you love me ? Why do Daddy and Papa love me ?” “Do we need a reason ?”, Milliardo asked very quietly. “I guess not.” “Always believe what your heart tells you, Alice. Your heart will never lie to you, unless you don’t want to listen to it.” “So you just love me like this ?” “Like this.” Alice smiled again. “Then it’s good.” Milliardo sighed. “Yes. It ‘s good.”
