"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: Duo Notes: Challenge 73. Baby Series 2 #228. Takes
place immediately after Running Dreams.
An Endless Race Intruders had entered the palace and from what he had heard over the com lines they had had specific information to circumvent heavy security features. Pagan would be vicious in his review of procedures and Duo could not blame him. The palace was supposed to be secure and these people had penetrated into the Family Wing. Whoever had given information to the enemy would go down, Duo would personally see to that. It was a race to reach the nursery and ensure nothing happened to King or Crown Prince. No one would touch either if he had anything to say about it. He had worked out daily with Chang and Heero and he was by no means out of condition, but he never seemed to make up ground on whoever was running ahead of him. He suspected somewhere ahead Heero or Chang, if not both of them, were running for the nursery. The injured men lying behind him were testament to the skills of someone, and he would place his money on Chang or Yuy, if not both of them. //I can’t take the chance on them being ahead of me, I have to get there before anyone does anything to my babe.// Stephen had already escaped one abduction attempt and Duo was not inclined to allow anyone near him who might mean him harm. The baby, swiftly becoming a toddler, was a joy and gave him hope for the future. If he had to race all the villains in the world to keep Stephen safe, then so be it. And no one would touch Zechs either. The man was not a fool, neither foolhardy nor unskilled. He was more than capable of taking care of himself, but Duo was only too aware Milliardo was done with killing. Zechs Merquise was tired. All the man wanted to do was live a quiet life and at every turn his way was blocked. Bound by politics, his life was barely his own. In this volatile situation, with a murder under investigation, they did not need the King accused of being a killer. He wanted to know who instigated this raid on the palace, and what their intent was. Was Stephen and abduction the target or was it something even more sinister? Was someone aiming to assassinate the King and perhaps even do away with the child? //Not while I have breath to stop it.// The end of the hallway never seemed to grow any closer, and he could picture himself racing through endless halls, every hallway dead straight, no corners or curves, just an endless race, never reaching an ending, never reaching his goal. //Chang had better be ahead of me, not behind. One of us has to reach Zechsy and keep Stephen safe.// If they failed there would be no dream future together, just the heartache of knowing they had failed. End
