"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: Quatre + Heero Notes: Challenge 37. Baby Series 2 #79. Takes
place a few minutes after I Set Him Up.
I'm only Human "Maybe it wasn't a brilliant idea to have Chang overhear my conversation with Duo." Quatre didn't care if anyone saw the Winner leaning against the wall looking for all the world as though he wanted to crawl into a hole and hide. It was exactly what he wanted to do. "There would have been a confrontation between myself and Chang eventually. It still needs to happen, this has only delayed it." Heero ached to crawl into his bed and forget the world existed for eight hours. Much as he wished he could leave he had a job to do and more importantly he still had a dance with Relena. Holding her would be the bright point of the evening, the silver lining in the storm cloud. "There would have been a better time for this to have happened. It was just when I saw him coming toward us and Duo had obviously not noticed him ... It seemed like a good idea." "It was. He's just in shock. In denial. And he will eventually get over it and think things through." "Do you think he is alright?" Quatre straightened his posture and squared his shoulders. The night was far from over and he would not allow this to beat him down. "Trowa will ensure he does nothing stupid." "I find it hard to believe you missed Duo's feelings for him." "I'm not infallible, Heero. I'm only human and I missed it. It's just that ..." Quatre sighed softly. "I'm tired. I ache in body and mind. I need a rest, a vacation and there is so much yet to do. I owe Milliardo and Chang for what I instigated, making Milliardo become King." Heero scowled. "Get real. Not you, nor I, nor the Sanc Parliament could have forced him to become King. He had the opportunity to refuse the crown. He chose to accept it." "He did not want to. No matter how much we dance around it the plain truth is he was presented with a situation where he could not refuse. It's in their blood and bone, Heero, the need to serve. I can't describe what I feel from him and Relena." "It was still his choice and he made it fully informed of the repercussions. The man is not a fool and he will make the best of the situation. He's a survivor and so is Relena." "How would you feel if she was directed to marry one of her suitors and you were not on the list? I've taken away his choice of life partner." Heero scowled. "Milliardo ..." "Chang. Wu Fei, Heero. I took away the person he intended to court. I placed a ball and chain, a shackle around Zechs' ankles and gave the key to Parliament. I helped to engineer the agreement but you and I both know Parliament will not rest until they have Zechs married. My fault, and I knew what I was doing." "So did he when he agreed to it." End
