Family and Lover
Relena sighed, pressing her palm to the freezing glass. Beyond the window snow fell in a gentle fall that hid the ruins of the old palace. //I would have a position from which I could work to maintain the peace and I would have Heero beside me. A pillar of strength quite literally. Now what am I to do?// In a few months she would be officially offered the position of Foreign Minister. For many years her foster father had held the position of Vice Foreign Minister and she knew the family life it offered. How often had her mother and she sat alone at night, keeping each other company, watching him on the news. He was always away, on some colony or on the far side of the world. She spent little time working for Sanc, the majority of her attention focused on the peace process and not on the needs of one country. As Milliardo settled into his position she could see a change in the attitudes and conditions of the people and not a year had gone past. Some subtle but profound changes were taking place around her and she could not ignore them. //Brother is making a difference where I made little. We give to others and not to ourselves. It is not just my relationship with Heero I must consider. I want to make a difference to the world, to the relationship between the Earth nations and the colonies. As Foreign Minister I could certainly do that, but I would pay a price. I would lose my family, maybe my love.// She had found her family. She actually liked her brother and his son she adored. There was the chance to love and Heero had taken steps to give them the chance. As her bodyguard he never would have touched her, but as Hunter’s replacement there were still obstacles to overcome. Friends and family and a possible lover. //I need to call my mother.// The thought surprised her. It had been many months since last she had spoken to Alice Darlian, the woman who had reared her. It was clear indication of how much of a family life she could enjoy should she continue with her career. She loved her mother and always would and perhaps it was time to speak to an older and wiser head. //Mother was always optimistic about the future. She said we should always look forward and not back but I think I have a lot to learn from the past. I wonder if she would change her mind and come for Christmas? I am afraid she does not want to meet Milliardo and I don’t want either upset. They are my family and I want them to be a family.// End
