It Happened To Me- Chapter Seven

He watched them the entire time. He saw Relena endure five hours of labor before the doctors decided the baby wasn't going to come down on it's own and took her for a c-section. He had to watch her go under the knife; which mind you, was much worse than setting your own broken bones. He was one of the first to see the child, a little girl. But, he also saw James turn his wife over to the doctors and go sit in the cafeteria with a cup of coffee. He heard the nurse inform him that his wife needed a c-section and he saw James shrug her off before standing and leaving the hospital all together. Needless to say, one Mr. Heero Yuy was not happy with the young politician. 'Honestly,' he thought to himself, 'he's one of the few that gives their kind their name; ?poli? meaning many and ?tic? meaning blood sucking creatures.'

Relena nervously watched the babe sleeping next to her. She would have to wait to see if her drinking had harmed the baby but everything seemed in working order. Ten fingers, ten toes, a head full of blond fuzz, and deep even breathing. Everything about the infant fascinated Relena, it amazed her how small she was and that she had carried the precious little girl in inside of herself for nine months. Relena had decided earlier, while waiting for delivery, that should it have a boy his name would be Zachary Tyler and if it were a girl her name would be Bethany Rose. Relena smiled slightly when Beth yawned, her tiny mouth stretching wide and her little nose crinkling. Her smiled faded slightly when she felt Heero at the door. She wanted so badly to turn and look up at him, but she knew that if she did she might regret it later. But, much to her mind?s dismay, Relena found her head slowly inching to the side until her eyes connected with a certain set of Prussian blue ones on the other side of the glass.

When Relena?s head turned and met his gaze, he felt a few unnamed emotions begin to swell inside of his chest and constrict his breathing. Without thinking, he opened the door and stepped inside. He greeted her with a faint smile and she returned his brightly. Heero sat on the very edge of her bed, a little too far away for Relena. So, she scooted closer to him and placed her daughter in his arms. He held the infant for a moment before handing her back to Relena. He gave her a quick look and she nodded, understanding his need to escape. And although no words were exchanged, the two felt something begin to take form.

James sat on his couch, watching television. The news played, casting multicolored hues over the darkened room. At the moment, a woman with bleach blond hair and a fake smile stood outside of the hospital he?d recently come from. She announced in her annoying nasally voice that the Vice Foreign Minister Relena Hannish delivered a 7 pound 9 ounce baby girl earlier that day. James snorted. ?A girl, eh??
?Yes, a girl. Her name is Bethany Rose. You?d have known that yourself if you had been there.?
James jumped up and spun to the figure looming in the doorway. ?W-who in the hell are you and what are you doing in my house??
Heero smirked. ?I am your wife only friend in the hellish nightmare you keep her in. I?m you and your wife?s bodyguard. And I?m here to tell you that I?ve been watching you and if you don?t start treating her better I?m going to reverse my role and instead of protecting you from bodily harm, I?m going to cause it.?
James stared at Heero, ?Is that a threat Mr. ??
?My name?s not important. Don?t bother trying to find me. I?m not on your payroll and I am untraceable.?
Before James could even think of responding, Heero was gone and he was left alone to get lost in his own thoughts.

Relena and Beth came home a few days later, Relena a proud mother and Beth a happy, healthy baby. James had become a little bit paranoid after his run in with the bodyguard; always checking rooms before entering and glancing around corners before turning. Heero, watching from the surveillance cameras, found this to be very amusing and sometimes found himself encouraging James?s paranoia. Relena found his behavior to be unnerving until one afternoon she heard heavy breathing while walking down the hall with James. His eyes darted back and forth nervously. She on the other hand shook her head, realizing Heero?s antics. But, she made no attempt at calming James?s frazzled nerves either.


I gave the Heero/Relena interaction I know some people have been asking for. I also put in the death threats because once again I?m babysitting and I couldn?t make death threats on the kids so I took it out on the writing. These kids don?t know the meaning of ?no?. But anyway? I appreciate everyone that reviewed my last chapter, I guess I kind of surprised ya?ll (I?m turning into a Texan? e-gad!) with Relena?s confession. But I really like those that have told me that I?m a good writer. It gives me the courage to continue. Thanks! ~*~Jessica~*~
