DuoVision

Day One ? Jackson's Birthday



The lens cap comes off of a video camara. Someone picks it up and Duo?s face appears. ?Alright, this thing is working. Hello and welcome to Duovision. For the next week, you will see everything in my eyes. The reason I picked this week was because there are so many things happening this week. First, it?s Jackson?s birthday. Tomorrow, there?s the big festival. Then there?s a bachelor?s party for Quatre and Dorothy, their wedding, and an inauguration for Zechs and Noin who will be crowned king and queen of the Cinq Kingdom.?



?Hey Duo! I need you over here,? screams a female voice off screen.



?Coming Hilde.? HE positions the camera on his shoulder and heads for the living room to see Hilde and a mini version of himself with purple hair walking around.



?Duo, what is that?? Hilde asks.



?It?s an old videocamara I found. I thought that I would record everything that?s going to be happening this week so we can have a record of it.?



?That sounds like a great idea. Surprising it came from you,? she comments giving a small giggle as she watches the small boy walk around the room.



?Hey. That was offensive.?



?I want to play with camera,? the little boy says, walking over to his daddy, arms reaching into the air.



?Maybe later Jackson. This is way too big for you,? Duo says, bending down and rubbing the kid?s hair.



?Anyhow, I?m going to get Jackson changed for his party. Do you think you can get everything ready?? Hilde asks, picking up Jackson without much protest.



?I think so.?



?Ahhh! Who ate my last piece of chocolate cake?? Out of the kitchen walks a very pregnant Relena eating a bowl of cantaloupe. Duo moves the camera so it?s facing him.



?That?s Relena Peacecraft, Princess of the Cinq Kingdom and Vice Foreign Minister.?



?Duo, did you eat it?? HE puts the camera back on his shoulder and shows a very angry Relena.



?Eat what??



?MY piece of cake! I was looking forward to it.?



?Come on Relena, you?re eating too much. Hilde never ate as much as you when she was pregnant.?



?Well she wasn?t carrying two kids, maybe three,? she says, whispering the last two words.



?What? Three?? Hilde says surprised.


?Sally thought she may have seen another heart beating, but we?re not

sure.? She takes another piece of melon and puts it in her mouth.


?Whoa. Three Heeros. Scary.?



?So, did you?? Relena asks, getting back to the subject.


?Yes he did Relena. I washed the plate this morning thinking you had eaten it,? Hilde says, walking towards the stairs.



?Duo, I?m going to kill you with my bare hands for what you?ve done.?



?Not while you?re still pregnant Relena.? Duo turns around to show Heero walking in with a bag full of groceries.



?Heero. You?re back.? She walks over to him and gives him a big hug and sweet kiss.



?Relena, what did I tell you about walking?? he says, taking control of the situation.



?I?m not supposed to,? she answers, looking at the floor.



?Unless you don?t want these kids to come out right and want to go out this week. You need to rest as much as you can now if we?re going to be moving around so much.?



?But it gets so boring just sitting around.?



?IF you sit down now, I?ll give you the chocolate cake I brought. I saw it wasn?t there in the fridge this morning.?



?Oh thank you Heero.? She hugs him and kisses him again and then goes to sit down.



?Well princess, it looks like you?re going to have your cake after all,? Duo comments.



?You?re just lucky Heero got some more.? She pops another piece of fruit into her mouth. ?Are you going to do anything else with that thing but stare at me?? she asks, her temper rising again.



?There?s nothing else to do though and right now you?re the most amusing thing to look at.?



?Hn. That?s strike two Duo! One more and I?ll get Heero?s gun!? She says giving him a death glare.



?Wow, the famous Yuy death glare. HE really has rubbed off on you.? At that moment, the doorbell rings.



?I?ll get that.? He walks over to the door and sees everyone except for Noin and Zechs at the door. ?Hey you guys.?



?Hi Duo,? they all say in unison.



?What are you doing with that?? Quatre asks.



?I?m going to record all the things that happen this week, starting with the party. Now, why don?t you come in and we?ll get this thing started.? They all walk in and see Relena on the sofa.



?Hi you guys,? Relena says, turning around on the couch and smiling.



?Hey Relena.?



?Come on girl, stand up so we can see how big you are,? Catherine says.



?She can?t. She?s not allowed on her feet for the whole day unless I say so,? Heero says as he comes out with cake for Relena.



?We?ll just have to see how long that works out for,? Duo says as Heero gives Relena a piece of cake. She takes a piece of fruit and mixes it with the cake before placing it in her mouth.



?Hey everyone. You guys came early,? Hilde says as she walks down the stairs with Jackson in her arms.



?So this is Jackson. I haven?t seen him in such a long time. He?s so big for a three year old,? Sally comments.



?I know. You such a big boy, aren?t you?? She says giving him an Eskimo kiss.



?DO you mind if I hold him?? Catherine asks.



?OF course not. I have to get things ready anyways.?



?We?ll help!? Dorothy takes Sally and drags her into the kitchen with Hilde. Catherine goes and sits next to Relena with Jackson on her lap. The four other guys find seat, with Heero sitting on the sofa?s arm next to Relena and Duo stands up watching everyone.



?So, how?s everyone been? Quatre?? Duo asks, starting the conversation.



?Everything?s fine.?



?What about the wedding?? Trowa asks.



?Things seem to be going okay. WE gave everyone Dorothy?s cell number just in case something went wrong.?



?So I?m guessing she?s doing all the planning then,? Heero comments.



?Yeah. The only bad thing so far was we thought the place for the reception was double booked, but it was only a mistake.?



?How exciting,? Wufei replies sarcastically.



?Like anything is happening with you Wufei. You?re too chicken to talk about anything else but how much you hate women,? Relena says.



?IS that an insult?? he questions, looking at her from across the room and rising from his seat.



?Maybe it is. And don?t you say anything about me being weak because if it wasn?t for me, you wouldn?t be living in a place like this and don?t say your Gundam did this because I?m the only one protect all you Gundam pilots from living a normal life god dammit!? Relena replies, getting off her seat.



?Relena! Get down now.? Heero gets up as well and forced Relena to sit down.



?Why you?at least I don?t eat like a pig onna,? Wufei comments.



?Alright that?s it. I don?t care about being a pacifist anymore. I?m gonna kick your ass,? she threatens, getting up from her seat but being stopped by Heero.



?Come and get me.? Trowa gets up and holds Wufei back and Heero forces Relena to sit down. Catherine covers Jackson?s ears and Quatre stands between the two.



?Wow. I couldn?t ask for better action,? Duo says.



?From now on, try to stay away from each other, okay?? Quatre commands.



?Fine,? they say in unison, looking away from each other.



?So, let?s talk about something else,? Catherine starts as she uncovers Jackson?s ears.



?Anything else with the wedding Quatre?? Relena continues.



?Nothing really that exciting. Everyone had their final fittings and pretty much everything has been organized.?



?Well then, we?ll just have to wait for the bachelor party. Then that?s when the real fun begins,? Duo snickers.



?And that?s what scares me,? Quatre says, holding his head in his hands.



?On to different business then. How?s the whole child thing going then you two?? Catherine asks, looking at Relena and Heero as they hold hands.



?Everything seems to be okay, except for the sudden mood swings. But Sally says it?s normal for her since for most of her life she hasn?t been able to express her emotions as much,? Heero states, petting Relena?s hair.



?After all those hours at all those stupid meetings and always having to look so stern, I?m glad I have a reason to go all crazy. We?re also working on breaking down the soldier?s barrier, aren?t we?? She asks, giving him a kiss.



?And I think we?re almost there,? he replies.



?And no movie would be complete without a sappy scene,? Duo comments.



?Hey everyone. Who wants a drink?? Dorothy asks. She comes over and puts five beers on the table which everyone except Quatre and Relena take.



?Thank you Dorothy,? Trowa says.



?No problem. I also have wine for Quatre.? She hands a glass of red wine to him and gives him a peck on the cheek.



?Thanks honey.?



?And then some water for Relena,? she says, giving Relena the glass.



?Oh, thanks,? she replies, looking at it.



?So have you guys thought of any names yet?? Dorothy asks.



?We really haven?t thought of anything yet,? Relena says.



?Dammit,? Duo screams as he spills some of his drink on his shoe.



?Duo, why don?t you put the camera down for a while? That way, you can drink and get ready for dinner,? Hilde suggests, poking her head out of the kitchen.



?Oh man. Fine. I just hope nothing exciting happens.? The scene goes black.

* * * * * * * * * * * *



The camera turns back on to show everyone cleaning up the dinner table. Relena sits down on the floor, her back against the sofa and plays with Jackson while everyone else moves from the dinning room to the kitchen. ?Do you guys need me to do anything??



?We?re just fine Relena. You?re doing just fine taking care of Jackson,? Hilde says picking up the last plate off the table.



?I want birthday cake,? Duo complains.



?Don?t worry. The cake is coming out soon,? Hilde answers, annoyed. Jackson continues to play with Relena. He puts his hands on her belly and suddenly pulls them back quickly.



?Auntie Relena, the babies are moving,? he says laughing.



?They?ve been doing that a lot lately. It means that they are going to be here soon,? she answers, rubbing her belly subconsciously.



?Relena, is everything okay?? Heero asks, looking out of the kitchen.



?Just fine Heero,? she answers back.



?Come on. Where?s this cake already?? Duo asks, stamping his foot into the ground.



?IT?s coming Duo.? Soon the rest of gang comes out with Hilde holding the birthday cake. They start singing happy birthday and Jackson starts to jump up and down, clapping. Hilde puts the cake on the coffee table in the living room, while Dorothy and Catherine put plates and silverware on the table. Relena nudges Jackson over to the cake.



?Alright. Make a wish Jackson sweetie,? Hilde says, sitting next to Jackson as the rest sit down as well. Jackson takes a big breath and blows out the three candles.



?Now how about your presents kiddo?? Duo says.



?Yeah! Presents!? he answers, jumping up and down.



?Here you go Jackson. These are from Dorothy and me.? Quatre gives him two big boxes. He tears off the wrapping with Hilde?s help to show a big red fire truck and a police car.



?Yay!?



?What do you say?? Hilde asks.



?Thank you Auntie Dorothy and Uncle Quatre.?



?NO problem Jackson,? Quatre answers, smiling and putting his arm around Dorothy.



?Here?s one from us,? Sally says, leaning forward and giving Jackson another big box. He opens it up and finds a giant box of legos.



?Cool!?



?And here?s another one from me,? Wufei says, handing him a long thin box. The boy opens it and finds a katana.?



?Woah! It?s a sword,? he says, his eyes growing wide.



?It?s a katana,? Wufei corrects.



?I don?t think this is an appropriate gift for a three year old Wufei,? Hilde says, taking the katana away before Jackson could take it out.



?I think it is. It?s never too early for a boy to learn how to use a katana.?



?We?ll talk about this later,? Sally says, slapping Wufei on the head.



?This one is from Catherine and me,? Trowa says, handing Jackson an envelope. He rips it open and takes out a piece of paper, looking at it strangely.



?Mommy, what does it say?? Jackson asks, showing Hilde the paper.



?Let?s see. IT?s a certificate saying that you?ve adopted a lion cub at the local zoo.?



?I have my own lion??



?Yep. We were talking to the zookeeper about getting a new lion for an act and he told us about how they were letting people adopt lion?s so they could get some extra money. And we thought it would be a cool idea. You can visit him anytime and you won?t have to worry about feeding or cleaning up after him.?



?Wow! Thank you Auntie Catherine, Uncle Trowa.?



?I wish I had my own lion,? Duo complains.



?Do you do anything but complain Maxwell,? Wufei asks.



?OF course. I provide comic relief.?



?You sure do honey,? Hilde answers.



?I guess our presents are next then. You better bring them in Heero,? Relena says, smiling.



?I?ll be right back,? Heero gets up from his seat and heads towards the back door.


?This must be some present,? Trowa says. Jackson watches the door in anticipation.



?I hope you two like it,? Relena says, trying to hold in her laugh.



?Us two?? Duo asks.



?Yeah. WE decided to get you a present Duo along with Jackson,? she says, looking straight at the camera.



?Oh man. You?re too good to me Princess.?



?Here they are.? Heero comes in with two giant crates with a bow on each one, one bigger than the other. Jackson?s eyes widen and he starts to hop up and down.



?Why don?t you go open yours Jackson? Yours is the smaller one,? Relena says. He runs over and with Heero?s help opens the crate. He removes some of the straw to show a mini Deathscythe a little bigger than him.



?Oh wow! This is the coolest presents ever.? Heero takes the mini Gundam out for Jackson to look at. Jackson walks around the Gundam, looking at it up and down.



?We got it to look exactly like Deathscythe. IF you press a button on the staff, the scythe appears and if you press the button in the back, the wings open up. Plus, you can open the door to the cockpit even though you won?t fit in it,? Relena says, watching Jackson playing with it. HE presses the button on staff and a plastic scythe pops up.



?Hey. He?s the new mini god of death,? Duo says as everyone laughs watching Jackson play with the Gundam.



?This is so cool. Thank you Auntie Relena and Uncle Heero.? HE gives Heero a hug and runs over to Relena to give her one. Then returns to his present.



?That must have cost you a pretty penny,? Hilde says.



?Actually, someone owed us a favor,? Heero says cleaning up the straw.



?Don?t you want to see your present Duo?? Relena asks, grinning again.



?OH yeah. Take this Heero.? Duo gives Heero the camera and opens the crate to show another Deathscythe his own size.



?Oh my god! I can?t believe it! I?m the true god of death once again. This is so cool princess!? Duo says, just as excited as Jackson and running around it, playing with everything.



?You shouldn?t have gotten that for him you two. I?ll never be able to pry him away from it,? Hilde comments.



?But he looks just as happy as a little kid,? Relena says, as everyone continues to laugh seeing the two boys acting like each other.

As Catherine and Dorothy finish playing with Jackson, he starts to yawn. ?Oh, it looks like Jackson is tired, isn?t he?? Hilde comes over and picks him up.



?But I?m not sleepy mommy,? Jackson says, rubbing his eyes.



?Come on. Let?s get you to bed.? Hilde takes Jackson and walks over to Jackson, letting him give Duo a hug, then heads up the stairs.



?Now that Jackson?s gone, we can have some real fun. I mean it?s only 10 at night,? Duo says.



?Actually, I think we should be getting to bed now,? Heero says, standing up and helping Relena off the floor.



?But why??


?Relena needs her rest.?



?And I?m actually really tired,? she says, covering a yawn.



?Plus Trowa and I have to up early to help out with the fair,? Catherine says.



?IT would be a good idea to be well rested,? Quatre says, getting up and getting his and Dorothy?s coat.



?Fine then. Then I?ll see you guys tomorrow. Where are we meeting again though??


?We?re meeting at Quatre?s at 8:00,? Wufei comments.



?Have a nice ride home. And thanks for coming.? HE opens his door for his guests and lets everyone out, except Relena and Heero who watch and wave goodbye. ?Goodnight you two also. And thanks for Deathscythe.?


?NO problem. We?ll see you tomorrow morning,? Relena says as she walks up the stairs with Heero?s help.



?I guess that?s it for now. But tomorrow is another day and we?ll have a lot more fun.?

There is no such thing as a pregnant woman eating too much. They are entitled to as much food as they want, and woe betide the poor man who fails to realize that. :D

That was incredibly cute. Thank you for the giggles! It was a clever premise, kudos!
