from the series but the baby is mine.
"I don't believe this." "Chang, what can I say? I'm sorry. It was an accident. Helen is on her day off. She'll be back tomorrow morning. It's just for a few hours." Wu Fei scowled at the blonde stretched out on the couch, his right foot propped up and a heavily bandaged ankle on prominent display and his left arm in a sling. "Your sister?" Zechs sighed, resting his head back against the wall. "Relena has meetings all afternoon, Une threatened to plug his every orifice with corks and Hilde flew back to L2 this morning." Wu Fei blinked as he stared at the cradle from which the first stirrings could be heard. "Sally?" "In surgery until six tonight, if not later." "Dorothy?" The crystal blue eyes met onyx, one pale brow arched. "Get real." a low growl. "It's babysitting, not assassination 101 and before you ask, Yuy turned blue and bolted. Maxwell laughed insanely, Winner turned purple and gibbered like an idiot and Barton ..." his scowl deepened. "Let's not talk about Barton." "What exactly does it involve?" Zechs sighed, rubbing at his aching back. The tumble down the lower half of the stairs had left him strained, bruised and generally aching. "A bit of cuddling, warming a formula and feeding him, burping and ..." he hesitated. "And?" Wu Fei prompted. " Changing his backside when he's wet." Onyx eyes widened and he backed away from the cradle. "Merquise!" "He's a week old baby, for the love of God." a tired sigh. "He won't bite. No teeth." Wu Fei winced, knowing well that Merquise had been lucky to avoid serious injury and with his wife so recently deceased he was still emotionally fragile. What was it that continually drew him back? Why did he even remain in the same room as that frightening, squirming bundle that was beginning to make some alarming noises? "Please? I ... don't have anyone else I can ask." "Have you changed him?" a suspicious gleam entered onyx eyes. "Yes, I have changed him before." "Babies do more than wet." a huff. He was uncertain if Merquise was going to laugh or howl in response. "I changed him before I fell down the stairs and that was a shitty one." "Was it very bad?" "It was shit, Chang. What do you think?" Approaching the cradle Wu Fei peered into its depths. The tiny blonde form was screaming, arms flailing and legs bunched up to his tiny belly under the covers. "He probably needs changing." Wu Fei huffed, but carefully drew back the blankets, revealing a squirming bundle with a loose nappy sagging about its ankles. The bed was wet and so was the baby. "You need practise. This is not acceptable." He scooped the child into his hands and peered at the scarlet face. "Shhh, no need to scream." Zechs sharply inhaled, eyes widening and he covered his eyes with his free hand, waiting for the explosion. Wu Fei scowled at the odd sensation. Why did his chest suddenly feel so warm? And so ... wet?
