Moments of a Lifetime 

Part 3

Sally pulled on the surgical gloves and looked down at Zoe, trying to make her not scared. "This won't be very long...But I can't lie, it will probably hurt..."

"I totally understand...can you put me to sleep now before I get up and leave?" Zoe practically whispered, her voice cracking. "I think...Um... they hear us..."

Sally nodded and put the mask on Zoe, turning up the gas to make her sleep. As that was going underway, she then let herself smirk, knowing they were hearing what was going on. She got a needle, pricking the area by the transmitter. They had a chance to shock her still, but they had to take that risk.

Sally worked accurately and carefully, not wanting to cut anything important in Zoe's arm. About an hour later, Zoe's arm was wrapped up and the device was put into a bag. Zoe was still out cold, so Sally told herself she probably gave her a little to much sleeping gas.

Heero walked in, scarily to Sally, in a good mood. He nodded as Sally told him how the procedure had went, then took the  bag containing the device. He delivered the bag to A.j., who was to dispose of it. Then he walked to his study to check his email.
He shook his head, smiling at the letter he received from Cleo. She and Faith were busy working in Antarctica.

He wasn't aware of Relena walking in until she started to rub his shoulders. He smirked but welcomed it, closing his eyes.

"I received a letter from Cleo... She and Faith will be back in a week, give or take a while." Heero said.

"That's good..." Relena said softly.

"Yeah...Rel?"

"What?"

Heero grabbed her hands and pulled him in front of him. " Why were you so scared to tell me....?"

"I didn't know how you would take it..." She said softly, turning away, not looking at him.

"Well, how did I take it? " He took her chin in his hand and made her face him. "I took it surprisingly well..."

"Yes, you did, I must admit." She bit her bottom lip. "I'm scared Heero...."

"Whys that? " He wrapped his arms around her, looking her in the eyes.

"With so much going on... It's not totally safe for any of us... or for the baby...."She laid her forehead against his.

"I'll make it safe. So will the guys... They haven't beaten us before... They won't make the count even, either."  He seen the doubt on her face, the smile leaving his lips. "I've told you this over and over again Relena... I'll say it again. Trust me, believe in me."

"You know what? I actually am starting to believe you." She sounded serious.

"Good..." Heero said, kissing her softly.

Duo started laughing, Quatre behind him shaking his head. Duo turned to Quatre, still chuckling. Then in a voice meant to mock Heero, he said, "Trust me Quatre, believe in me."

Quatre couldn't help but chuckle. "A very good impression of Heero..." Quatre crossed his arms. "Now, leave them in privacy and stop coming here and watching from the security system. Its for emergencies."

Duo grinned, knowing Quatre left it open for a stupid comment. " I thought it was an emergency... I heard groaning and stuff.....I thought someone tied up Heero and Rel."

"Duo, you really are an idiot." Quatre stated.

"Thank you. Now, come on and we can see how Zoe is doing." Duo looked from camera to camera for the room Zoe was in. Finally, he found it.

Quatre came next to Duo. "Zoe seems to be doing ok. She doesn't look to bad..." Quatre grinned. "Think we can find the room where Dorothy is? "

Duo gagged, then laughed.  "Sure, but I won't look." Quatre joined in laughing with him.

Zoe opened her eyes and sat up. She was still in that damn hospital room, all the white wall. She scowled and seen the camera turned on in the corner. "Duo..." She growled. She went to rub her eyes with her hand and practically screamed with the pain that shot through her arm.

Sally came running in. "Zoe, don't move that arm. I told you it would hurt."

Zoe was practically crying, holding her arm. "That...hurts...like...hell..." She said, panting, wincing in pain.

"Yes, I said it would." Sally stated.

"Um...You did....?" Zoe said wearily, the medicine Sally had just injected her with working.

"Yea, now rest and I will cut off the camera Duo is spying on us with..."

Ok, hope that works for now. We will definitely be getting these up faster. As for "Movie Madness" and " A Dinner Date to Die For", debating about a sequel... If we make one, we need ideas for a place the gang can go. Thanks for everything all!
