"Baby Series 2"Written By: Karina
Spoilers: None Disclaimer: I don’t own Gundam Wing or the
Characters from the series but the baby is mine. Pairing: Relena + Milliardo Notes: Challenge 46. Baby Series 2 #115. Takes
place immediately after Swing Of The Pendulum.
Not An Easy Man “She was right. You are a survivor. You have proven it time and again.” He sighed and Relena wished she could read his eyes but his head was turned from her and she doubted he was watching the approaching palace. The escort vehicles were slowing, the motorbikes drawing abreast of the steps and the doors to the palace were thrown open. “Some days I am very tired of being a survivor. Then I look at Stephan.” “And?” Relena gently prodded. “He is a very good swing of the pendulum. I would have liked more children.” Reminded of the bombshell he had dropped Relena scowled at her bare feet. She needed to talk to Heero and be assured they were doing the right thing before they made a disastrous mistake. Speaking to Heero would require a healthy dose of patience as it was unlikely she would have an opportunity to speak with him this night. //I want Brother settled and happy, not simply existing from day to day. There has to be more to his life and much as he loves him Stephan will not always be here. There will come a time when Stephan will find his own way and then what of Milliardo? Something more than cold formality and waiting to die to pass the reins to his son. If that means he must marry I want it to be for more than politics.// “Is that why you are bowing to Parliament?” Broad shoulders hunched and then relaxed. “I don’t want to marry. No one should have to live with me. I’m too high maintenance to be an easy companion.” “Lucrezia did not seem to think so. She seemed most eager to get you to the altar and I know she was happy.” “Lu was blind where I am concerned. She always was.” She could feel his swing toward depressing bouts of memory and that was not what she intended. He was honest in that he was not an easy man to live with, prone to moods and melancholy. He needed someone to lift him out of the pit. //Duo could do it. He’d somehow know just what to say to get Milliardo looking forward again. Milliardo is high maintenance and do I know another woman other than Noin who could turn him aside from dark brooding? I suppose Dorothy would be capable but they would likely kill each other. How would Wu Fei deal with his moods? Offer to teach him meditation? Beat some sense into him in a practise bout? Make love to him? Nail his ass to the floor and give him something else to think of? Oh my word, where did that come from?// She was blushing and hoped in the poor light he would not notice, not that he was watching her. The car was pulling up to the steps and she bent forward to find her shoes. End
