Chapter Four

A few weeks have passed by at school since they school year began and Heero and Relena became quick friends as they once had been. They were now able to talk to each other and be in one another?s presence without getting mad or arguing. And now, Heero thought that things were going to be ok from now on. He also forgot completely about that feeling he had one night about Relena, the one about her being involved in his and Lucrezia?s decision to have a child.

?Ok, is everyone here? Do we have perfect attendance?? Heero asked the class who were now standing in a single file line ready to walk out the door. Just for fun, all freshman classes and they?re teachers were to walk to the ice cream store today and have a good time until the six hour school day period was about two thirds over, then they would walk back. Since the second day of school, he made them function like soldiers. They were supposed to obey without a first thought nevermind a second and do so effectively, efficiently? but then again they were kids not soldiers and they so far never seemed to follow orders to the letter. Or anywhere near there.

?Yeah, but Ms. Darlian isn?t here right now? explained a girl.

?So do you know where she is then?? he asked. Before that girl or any other student in his class had a chance to answer, Relena came by through the door.

?I?m so sorry everyone, the city bus was late? she said to the class. But the kids weren?t really mad at her. They liked her very much since she was very nice and forgiving. She walked up to Heero. ?I?m sorry about that Heero. Hope you?re not mad? Relena said. Heero looked at her studying her casually smiling face to decide whether or not to forgive her. ?Alright, whatever Ms. Darlian? he said not really mad. He wasn?t sure but he thought that her smile had influenced his decision. Well, he still wouldn?t be mad anyway so it wouldn?t make a difference.

Relena, Heero, the other freshman staff and all their students went on their walk. It was a good thing that it was a nice day or else the field trip would?ve been canceled and who knew if it would be rescheduled or not. The walk took only half hour at least. Then everyone went inside the ice cream store which was fairly large so it wasn?t that crowded with all of them being there together. Unfortunately, some of the kids forgot to bring or ask their parents for money and turned to Heero, making their pleas to him. As she stood in line watching him, he saw as he selflessly gave each of them four dollars, but with a disappointed face. But after he gave the last of the moneyless student five dollars, he just walked out of the building not even bothering to get any ice cream of his own.

A few minutes later, Relena also walked out too to look for him, but unlike Heero, she had an ice cream cone in her hand, a cotton candy flavored one. In fact she had another one, a cherry one a flavor that she knew Heero liked a lot. She knew that Heero won?t be in school for a few days and she felt like as though she should spend some time with him before he left. It didn?t take long to find him. Heero was sitting on a picnic table alone just a few steps away.

?May I sit beside you Heero?? she asked coming up. Heero turned around and saw that it was Relena, holding two ice cream cones.

?Sure Ms. Darlian? he said simply. She did so and began licking her ice cream.

?Here, I got this for you? Relena said gesturing to him for the cherry ice cream to be taken.

?You shouldn?t have?? he said not even bothering to reach for it.

?Heero, don?t worry about it? she insisted. Relena took his hand and place the ice cream cone in it. He took it reluctantly at first, but eventually accepted in full since cherry was his favorite flavor.

?That was very nice of you to give your own money to those students? Relena complemented him while enjoying her ice cream. ?Did you run out of money?? He nodded.

?I?ll pay you back for the next time I see you Ms. Darlian? he stated. She laughed.

?Heero, just call me Relena ok? You make me feel like I?m a stranger. And please, let this ice cream be my gift to you. There?s no need to pay me back? she back making the last two sentences themselves sound like statements as well.

Unsure if should or shouldn?t, Heero nodded.

After school that day, Relena took the bus home as she had been for the past few weeks. Relena immediately took a shower since in all she had been walking out in the sun for about one hour. As she stood there, she couldn?t help but think about Heero. Ever since she had come back into his life, she had this ?thing for him. But she wasn?t sure if this was infatuation or not. And tomorrow, Heero wouldn?t be at work or the next two days after that because he was going to a workshop, which she had yet to find out what it really was. The reason why she wasn?t going was because she wasn?t officially considered a real teacher. So therefore, tomorrow either she will be looking after his class until he returned or someone else will come to take his place and she would be his subordinate. But she preferred that she run things alone. However, the fact that she would be without him? ?No! Relena you have to stop thinking about that! And stop feeling that way!... He?s married!? she cried in her mind.

Relena sat on her couch flipping through channels not really knowing what to watch or even feel like watching anything. Then unexpectedly, her phone rang. She went over to it and checked her caller ID to see who it was. The address on it was Heero?s. She picked up the phone immediately.

?H? Hello?? she said quickly.

?Relena?? said the voice. It was indeed Heero.

?Yes, what is it Heero?? she asked.

?I?ve already made the arrangements for the class for rest of this week and next week. I left it on my desk? Heero said.

?Alright. So will someone else be coming to take over or will I be in charge??

?I don?t know about that. But if there are any problems you can come see me here or call. I won?t be out of town? he continued.

?So will that be all?? Relena asked.

?Yes. And you??

?I don?t have anything to say. But you can count on me Heero?

?Ok, goodbye?

?Bye Heero? she said ending their brief conversation. Then they both hung up. ?I won?t disappoint you, Heero? Relena thought firmly in her mind.

Lucrezia had just walked in the doorway of their living room. She saw Heero sitting down talking on the phone, but it seemed like he was done because he hung up.

?Heero who were you talking to?? she asked as came over and sat down next to Heero.

?Relena. I was just telling her I left instruction on my desk for the duration of my absence from class? he explained. ?Did you want something??

?Well yes. Are you busy??

?No.?

?If it?s alright with you, can we talk about baby names??

?Ok. A boy?s or girl?s??

?Let?s talk about both. We?ll start with a girl?s name? Lucrezia said.
?Sure? Heero agreed. And they went on discussing, and suggesting this or that.

?How much do you think we should save in total?? Heero asked his wife while they were sitting together watching tv. They hadn?t really a final decision as to what name their child would have. So they chose to stop for now and watch tv together.

?Hmmm? I don?t think we need to worry about the expenses of having the baby itself. I think it?s just the college money. How about eight thousand dollars to save??

?Ok. Well, I only get to keep six-hundred dollars of the six-hundred fifty per week?

?And I get nine-hundred fifty of the grand I make if it weren?t for these taxes? she explained.

?That means in all, we get one-thousand fifty per week? Heero calculated. ? So therefore, if we want eight-thousand dollars, we have to save for about five or six weeks? he continued doing the calculation in his head.

?Well it won?t be that long? Lucrezia said.

?True? Heero agreed. ?That is only if we don?t spend any money during those weeks we?ll be saving?

?Oh yeah, that?s right? Lucreiza said in her mind and began laughing. ?Whatever, we do still have some money so?? she said as she began her sentence that will never be finished and leaned on Heero?s shoulder.

?Well, ok. If we have this child a little early, it won?t be that much of a problem? he explained and put an arm around his wife. Lucrezia changed the channel to Lifetime, which wasn?t Heero?s favorite channel and made him stay and watch the movie with him.
