Chapter 5

Forbidden Love

Heero's POV

A month has already passed since the tragedy happened. I thanked God with my whole heart that He gave me another great opportunity to change my life. Last night, sleep didn't overcome me as memories came back unto my mind. All the things that happened to me during the past is nothing compared to this present day. Just lying here in her bed, gazing at her perfect angelic face with the morning sun delicately kissing her rosy cheeks is enough to convince me that I am destined to protect this lovely angel from any harm. My hand stroked her cheeks, in return she gave me a blissful sigh. I smiled and my hand travelled down to her swollen tummy. I carresses her tummy lightly, as if to encourage my baby to sleep more and not to wake his or her mommy.

"He...ero..."

I looked at Relena's face, thinking that I woke her up. Instead I saw a smile and she shifted a little closer to me. Maybe she really liked the way I caress her tummy so I continued while my other hand went to her back. I drifted back to my thoughts once again. I was thinking on how our wedding would be, I want her and the baby to be officially mine. Suddenly, I remembered the engagement ring that the saleslady showed me, it was an oval sapphire surrounded with 14 diamonds. It will be perfect for my sweetheart's hand. I wonder also what would be her reaction when I propose to her. The wedding should be grand and beautiful, something that would fit my princess. A help from my friends would be great besides they know better than I do. I felt her hands move up to my chest, breaking my chain of thoughts. As I looked at her face, her blue eyes was looking at me with love.

"Hey baby, you're too deep in your thoughts."

I smiled. "Well, I was just thinking about the past." I embraced as close as I can from a seven months pregnant woman and stoked her back. "Why don't you go asleep darling?"

"I'm already awake. Maybe later."

There was a knock on the door and I sat up. "Who's there?"

The door opened and Duo's head popped in. "Hey morning love birds! Oh yeah, breakfast is served. Come and get it!" His head disappeared and closed the door.

Relena sat up with my help. "We better go down right now or else Duo will finish everything." I nodded and helped her stand up. I gave her a silk robe and I wore my shirt. After she finished tying her robe securely around her body, I carried her downstairs. She was giggling all the way, loving the way I pamper her since I came here. As we reached the dining room, I settled her down on her feet and guided her to her seat beside Hilde and I sat down beside her.

"Morning everyone!" Relena said heartily.

"Morning!" Everyone replied. Hilde kissed her.

"Hey Relly, you seem to be glowing everyday, eh?" Duo said with a big grin on his face.

"Thank you Duo."

"Maxwell, you always say those words."

"Wufei, I'm just telling the truth. Pregnant women always look pretty. Ain't that right Hilde?"

Hilde blushed. "Duo..."

"Oh my god! You're pregnant Hilde?" Dorothy dropped her fork.

"No, I'm not!"

Zechs placed the newspaper down that he has been reading and looked at both of us. "So, what are your plans?"

"Um..."

"I have plans but it will not be revealed till the baby is born." I cut Relena off and smiled at her.

Quatre just shrugged. "Heero, you're always mysterious."

"Hn." I looked at Trowa and he nodded. He understood that I needed help from them.

Cathy looked at him curiously. "Trowa, why did you nod?"

"Um...just checking if I have dandruff..." Everyone laughed at his disguise of the true meaning of the nod.

Everyone continued eating. After finishing the food, I glanced at Relena and saw her yawning. Good, she's sleepy again. "Honey, you want me to tuck you in bed again?" She nodded. I stood and carried her in my arms once again. "Excuse me guys, I have to make her sleep again."

"Have a nice dream ojousan!" Duo waved at her happily and she waved back sleepily.

Trowa's POV

As the couple disappeared, some of them stood up to have their own business. "Everybody, please stay for a while." All of them looked at me questionally.

"What is it? I still have to meditate!" Wufei crossed him arms over his chest.

Sally slapped him at his shoulders. "Will you shut up for a while. He must have a good reason."

"Alright Barton, spill." Noin looked at me.

"Heero will tell us his plans. He couldn't say it earlier because Relena was here and he was planning something for a suprise."

Quatre nodded. "Oh I see. I didn't know that the perfect soldier knows how to suprise people."

"Ha! He always suprise people. He just pops out of nowhere." Duo chuckled.

Zechs continued reading the newspaper. "Well, then we'll wait for him here."

Heero's POV

I made sure that Relena wa sleeping deeply so that she won't wake up early and hear out my plans. As I got back to the dining table, the table was already clear and everybody was still there.

"Is she sleeping well?" Cathy was the first one who looked up at me.

I nodded and proceeded to sit in my chair. "I guess Trowa already explained why you guys are still here." Everyone nodded. "Ok, I'm planning to propose to her after our baby is born. As of now Zechs, I'm asking her hand in advance."

Zechs looked at me intently. "You'll know my answer when the time comes."

I raised one of my eyebrows then I noticed Noin glaring to both of us. "Alright, I want to have a grand wedding for her but I don't know what..."

Dorothy laughed. "Heero, you don't have to worry about that. We girls can do that without any worries except of course for the money. Ain't that right girls?" All the girls nodded at me with a bright smile. It seems that they will be enjoying this.

"Alright, money is no problem. All you have to do is ask it from me."

"Woah Heero, that company must be paying you really high." Duo said with eyes almost like saucers.

Quatre suddenly smiled. "Hey Heero, I can arrange where your honeymoon would be. Consider it as one of the gifts from me."

"Me, Wufei, Zechs and Duo will be in charge of the reception."

"Why me Trowa?!"

Sally sighed. "You also have to take a part of this Wufei!"

Duo waved his hand happily. "I'm in charge of the food. Don't you guys worry, I know a good restaurant that is really good in catering!"

"Maxwell, if you ruin my wedding because of the food, you will never see your future generations! This meeting is adjourned." All of them went back to their own business and I went to check on my future wife...

There you go! Good job Heero!

Heero: Hn.
