Happily Ever After
Relena closed the door softly behind her mindful of Helen sleeping in the connecting room to the nursery. Restless after the events of the day and night she had been wandering the halls and had come to check on Stephan as a distraction. She had received the doctors’ report on her brother and those who had dared the storm in dignified silence, all the while wishing she could roundly curse events that led to the near disaster. It all began so long ago and how different the world would be now had they been spared that senseless bloodshed. //Is it possible Milliardo may experience other instances of this nature? Will snow always set him off walking the paths of memory that are best left forgotten?// Disturbed by her thoughts she had resigned herself to be thankful none of them had seemed to take any lasting harm. There had been assurances from the doctors after examinations that no lasting harm had been done and exclamations over how fortunate they were that they did not lose fingers or toes to the cold. There were signs of fever in at least Duo and Milliardo though why they should suffer longer lasting effects of their adventure and not Chang or Heero she did not know. “Shhh. He’s asleep.’ She smiled, dismissing her worries for the sheer unexpected pleasure of finding Heero there. She had not expected him to be out of bed until at least late in the morning if he was spared the fever the doctor seemed to expect. Slipping quietly up to the cot she peered down at her nephew and sighed. “It’s rather like a fairytale really.” “Getting stuck in a blizzard?” Heero raised an eyebrow. “I don’t see how.” “No, Milliardo being King. There should be wizards and warriors, dragons and princes in the tale. Magic and mystery instead of the cold brutality of war and the prospect of more chaos to come.” “No chaos. Not anymore. There will be peace and we will all be a part of it. You and I, the other pilots and especially your brother. If there is such a thing as the Goddess named Fate then her hand is still on him I think.” “He has hurt so much already.” Relena sighed softly. “I would like to tell Stephan a fairytale about the Prince who reclaimed his kingdom and married a beautiful Princess and they had many sons and daughters together and lived happily ever after in their kingdom with friends and family surrounding them. It is a pity that life is not like fairytales that always end happily ever after.” Heero considered the baby for a long moment and then sighed, looking up into blue eyes. Gently he touched her cheek and shook his head slowly. “Shall I tell you a fairytale, Relena? It is one you have not heard before but I think you need to hear it.” End |
