Deep at Heart: Chapter four: Bedtime? legend?
H.J. ran up the stairs to his room and jumped onto his bed, ?Come on Mommy and Daddy! I?m already here!? yelled H.J. happily as Relena and Heero entered the room. Relena walked up H.J.?s bed and sat down on it, gently tucking H.J. into bed.
?Mommy, what story is Daddy going to tell me?? asked H.J., who couldn?t seem to get the cheerful little smile off his face. Relena just couldn?t break it to him.
?Well, why don?t you ask him about it?? asked Relena softly as H.J. looked up at Heero.
Heero stared at H.J. for a while before he diverted his gaze, he wasn?t sure about it. Relena sighed and got up.
?Where are you going Mommy?? asked H.J.
?Nowhere H.J. I?m just going to get a book and tell Heero to read it to you,? smiled Relena.
?It?s Daddy, Mommy,? said H.J.
Relena shook her head as a smile crept onto her face, ?No H.J. he?s not my Daddy.?
H.J. pouted, ?Mommy! That?s not what I meant!?
Relena quickly walked over to one of the shelves in H.J.?s room and grabbed out a book, then walked back and passed it to Heero, who sighed slightly; much to Relena?s surprise.
?Come sit next to me daddy,? smiled H.J.
Heero obeyed and sat on the bed next to H.J. then looked down at the book he was going to read to H.J. It was Legends of the war after colony 195. He looked up at Relena curiously, as Relena smiled and shrugged.
?Trowa Barton, he?s a skilled fighter behind his gundam Heavyarms, people says he hides behind a mask and they?re not just talking about his hair. During the battles, a fellow gundam pilot was taken controlled by the zero system. Trowa sacrificed his life, but luckily he had not died, but he did have a memory lose. Forgetting everything he ever knew and loved, he traveled alone until he met someone in the rain, where his normal life was suppose to begin,? Heero paused and looked at H.J.
H.J. looked interested and concerned, ?Daddy, is that about? Mr. Barton?? asked H.J. Heero looked at Relena and then looked back at H.J. then nodded.
H.J. looked ready to cry. ?But he?s fine now, everything is fine now,? said Relena quickly, Heero nodded then continued on with the book. Then he got to the description of himself,
?And last but not least, Heero Yuy, or so everyone thought. His real name is Odin Low Junior, son of Odin Low. He was set on a journey as a gundam pilot, to protect the colonies. When he landed on the Earth, he was met by an unexpected surprise, where he met Relena Dorlian, now known as Relena Peacecraft. He is the perfect soldier and has been undefeatable as far as people know. Most people think he is the leader that leaded the Gundam Pilots to victory and gave peace. As Quatre Winner had quoted before, ? Heero Yuy is the heart of outer space.? Whether this is true or not, has not been confirmed. Some question the possibility that maybe he has fallen in love with none other than Relena Peacecraft,? Heero stopped reading and looked up at Relena, who seemed as surprised as he was by that sentence, as H.J. started to giggle.
Did she know that part was in here? Thought Heero.
Relena turned a deep shade of crimson as she looked away and walked out the door, ?Good night, I?ll be going to bed now,? she said quickly.
Just then, ?Hi there, Relena! How ya doing? Hope I?m not too late, wanted to see something, so where am I staying? I wouldn?t mind sharing with Heero,? asked Duo as loudly as he could, making sure Heero had heard him.
?Well, follow me, and no, I don?t think that would be needed, you?ll have your own room,? smiled Relena.
?Relena! Are you hot or what?!? yelled Duo almost too loudly as he walked down the stairs. Heero nearly fell off H.J.?s bed at the comment. What the heck is he DOING? Thought Heero.
?Wha?? Um? pardon Duo?? asked Relena politely.
?I didn?t mean it as in you?re hot, hot. I just meant are you warm, hot. I would never try to STEAL you away from HEERO!? yelled Duo, up the stairs.
?Um? Duo? H.J. is trying to go to bed right now, and it would be great if you would keep it down,? whispered Relena.
?SURE Relena! You don?t have to be afraid though, I KNOW you TWO are PERFECT TOGETHER! So when did you two start DATING?!? said Duo a bit softer, but loud enough so that Heero could hear him.
H.J. quickly jumped out of bed and ran downstairs; ?Mr. Maxwell!? smiled H.J. as he wrapped his arms around Duo?s leg. Duo picked him up and smiled, ?Hi there, H.J.?
Heero walked down the stairs and quickly got over to H.J.?s side. ?Duo,? said Heero as he nodded his head.
?Heero,? said Duo in the same manner. ?Daddy was reading me a story,? smiled H.J.
?That?s uh? different, but nice,? smiled Duo as he looked at Heero surprisingly. Heero shrugged carelessly.
?Oh, Heero, you know Zechs has been on a uh? trip with Noin, well, they say it?s here and that you should and probably the best suited for the job. You think you can handle it?? asked Duo.
Heero nodded, ?Come on, you can help,? said Heero as he turned around to go to the kitchen where he thought Duo and him might have some privacy.
?What are they talking about Mommy?? asked H.J.
?It?s? uh nothing, just some trip, vacation thing,? said Relena.
?Is Daddy leaving?? asked H.J. ?No, he isn?t, I don?t think so,? smiled Relena as she picked up H.J. and carried him back to his room.
?Why here?? asked Heero.
?Maybe everyone thinks it?s the least likely place for them to hide, but we don?t even know who they are then. They could be any butler or anyone here,? said Duo.
?I?ll check it out, and since you?ll be staying here, you can keep me informed and take care of H.J.,? said Heero.
?Fine by me, but what about Quatre and everyone?? asked Duo.
?Tell them about it, we might need some help. From what I can gather, Zechs thinks it?s pretty big,? said Heero as he left the kitchen and walked back upstairs.
That night, when everyone else in the household was asleep, Heero snuck out of his bedroom and walked down to the living room, where there was a nice fire going. Heero sat on the couch facing the fire and ran a hand through his hair.
?Why now?? thought Heero.
?Heero?? whispered a voice from behind him. Heero turned around to see who it was, though he pretty much already knew.
?What are you doing here?? asked Relena as she wiped her eyes tiredly. ?What are you doing here?? asked Heero.
?I asked you first Heero,? Relena smiled, as she took a seat next to him. Heero shrugged carelessly.
?What was it? I mean about what you and Duo talked about, how bad is it? Can I help?? asked Relena.
?Stay out of it,? said Heero sternly as his eyes seemed to tense up slightly.
?But Heero?? whispered Relena softly. Heero could hear the hurt in her voice but he decided it was best not to do anything about it. They silent for a while, both were facing the blazing fire.
Heero stared at Relena from the corner of his eye. The fire seemed to cast a baring shadow across her features with such intensity and warmth with the heavenly light reflecting off her honey blond hair. He quickly shifted his eyes back to the fire, ?Relena?? he started.
?What is it Heero?? asked Relena as she turned to look at him.
?Could you give me a list of everyone who works for you here?? asked Heero.
?Sure Heero, but why do you need them?? asked Relena.
?It?s nothing you have to worry about Relena. You still have to think about Hilton and everything else,? said Heero.
?It has everything to do with me Heero, you?re asking for a list of everyone who works for ME here. I can take care of myself and make my own decisions; I don?t need your protection. Heero, I can help you, if you just give me a chance, please?? said Relena.
Heero turned to look at her, forgetting everything he had decided earlier, he put a hand her face as he lowered himself to her. Feeling her lips against his, he could feel her sharp intakes of breath and the smell of her hair. The feeling of warmth burning in him that he had never felt before. She cared about him, she really did. He never felt that before, his whole life was all about wars and peace. No one had made him feel the way she did, and no one ever would.
Relena slowly wrapped her arms around Heero?s neck as she felt his arms slide around her waist. Her heart was pounding so loudly in her chest, she was almost positive that Heero could hear it. The feeling that flowed through her was more heavenly then anything she had ever felt or known. Right there and then, she knew what heaven felt like, and she was willing to give anything to make sure it stayed that way.
1 Somewhere on earth
?Noin, you sure you?re all right?? asked Zechs as wiped the sweat from her forehead.
?I?m fine Zechs, I really am,? smiled Noin as she limped down the hall.
?I think you should just stay here for a while Noin,? said Zechs.
?No! I?m fine! Zechs, please?? whispered Noin as she continued on. Suddenly she tripped and almost fell, but Zechs put a hard grip on her.
?I doubt that Noin, you?re not THAT great of an actress you know?? smiled Zechs as he got a better hold of her arm, which was hanging limply around his shoulder.
?And you are?? asked Noin with a slight smile.
?Better than you,? smiled Zechs.
?You think way to highly of yourself, you know that?? asked Noin.
?Only when I?m around you,? said Zechs with a smile. His eyes shone with slight amusement.
?Get that stupid look off your face Zechs, that wasn?t funny,? said Noin.
?I wasn?t trying to be funny Noin,? smiled Zechs.
?Hey, do you think that Heero got your message?? asked Noin all of a sudden.
?Probably, I told Duo Maxwell to deliver that for me,? said Zechs.
?Then I?d doubt Heero knows,? said Noin.
?Why?? asked Zechs in confusion.
?Duo isn?t exactly the most trustworthy and loyal guy around,? answered Noin.
?Well I?m sure he got it to Heero, and you should stop worrying about that and start worrying about yourself,? said Zechs sternly.
?Yes sir,? Noin tried to salute Zechs, but then she just collapsed in his arms. She was getting really tired.
?Noin, just go back to your room and get some sleep, tomorrow you can do whatever you want,? said Zechs.
?You promise?? asked Noin tiredly.
?Yes, I promise. And remind me to kill Relena when I see her again,? smiled Zechs in a joking way.
?Why?? asked Noin.
?For giving me a nephew,? answered Zechs simply as Noin smiled at him.
?Come on, I know you like kids. Why don?t you go visit her, you can meet your nephew then,? suggested Noin.
?Talk tomorrow, get your sleep now,? ordered Zechs as he helped her back into her room.
2 Sanq Kingdom
Just then, there was a high-pitched scream. Heero quickly backed away from Relena and looked up. Hearing exactly where the scream had come from, Heero got up and ran upstairs in H.J.?s room.
Relena followed Heero up, hoping beyond hope, that nothing was wrong.
Heero quickly opened the door to H.J.?s room; there was no one there, just a plain dark room. Heero quickly walked up to H.J. whom was sweating. He gently lifted up the covers, and to his surprise, he saw blood.
?Daddy?? whispered H.J. weakly.

Heero quickly opened the door to H.J.?s room; there was no one there, just a plain dark room. Heero quickly walked up to H.J. whom was sweating. He gently lifted up the covers, and to his surprise, he saw blood.
?Daddy?? whispered H.J. weakly.
Deep at Heart: Chapter five: The DNA Testing
?What happened?? asked Heero, as his worry was unmasked and concern was shown over his face.
?There was a? a woman, she?? H.J. started, but suddenly he fainted.
?H.J.!? yelled Relena as she entered the room. ?HEERO! What happened?? yelled Relena urgently.
?Get him to the hospital first, he?s lost a lot of blood,? said Heero quickly as he tried to hide his concern and worry, with his emotionless mask.
Relena nodded as she ran toward the phone and dialed the emergency number. No sooner had that happened, a sound or sirens were heard in the distance and H.J. was hurried to the hospital. Relena stayed in the ambulance with H.J. while Heero went to get Duo, for no reason in particular. He was just a bit confused and trying to make an excuse of delaying his trip to the hospital, by looking for Duo.
?He WHAT?!? yelled Duo in panic as he jumped out of his bed.
?Didn?t you hear him scream?? asked Heero.
?No!? yelled Duo as he quickly put on his black shirt and headed toward the door with Heero.
?You weren?t trained correctly, were you?? asked Heero with an eyebrow raised. As a Gundam pilot, you were trained to be alert at all times, and not hearing a loud scream like that was just impossible.
?Wha?? Look, that poor kid is hurt right now, and all you can say is ?you weren?t trained correctly, were you?!? What about something like, don?t worry kid, daddy?s coming!? yelled Duo, throwing his arms into the air as he got into Heero?s car.
Heero quickly stepped onto the gas petal as the speed started to rise. Soon they were way pass the speed limit.
?Aren?t you afraid to get arrested?? asked Duo as he held onto his seatbelt tightly, his knuckles turning white from holding on so hard.
Heero ignored him as he looked up in the rear mirror; luckily, there were no police cars or anything.
When they got to the parking lot, Heero and Duo got out of the car and hurried to the counter.
?Which room is H.J. Peacecraft in?? asked Duo.
?Are you his parent or relative of any sort?? asked the lady at the counter.
?No, I?m not. But look at my friend here. He could be his father,? answered Duo.
?So is that a yes or a no sir?? asked the lady.
?YES! YES!? yelled Duo, who couldn?t careless what kind of glare Heero was giving him at the moment.
?Room A154 sir, his room is right around the corner. But he?s in the emergency room sir for now, so you won?t be able to go visit him,? said the lady at the counter.
?THANK YOU!? yelled Duo as he grabbed Heero and ran toward the emergency room. When they reached the front door, they heard a sound. Duo turned around and saw that it was Relena.
?Uh? look at the time!? Duo started.
?It?s 3:45am,? Heero interrupted.
?Exactly! Time to eat! Gotta go! See you around Heero ol? buddy!? said Duo quickly as he ran off around the corner.
Heero turned and saw Relena, whom seemed pretty messed up. Her face was slightly red; her hair was sticking out in some places. Her face with unhidden worry as loss of hope filled her eyes.
Heero took a seat next to her and looked away for a while, unsure of what to do. After a while he gently rested his hand on top of hers. He was about to say something when?
?Do you? do you think H.J. will be all right?? asked Relena with motherly concern written all over her. She might not know how she had gotten H.J., but no matter what; he was still her son.
Heero stayed silent for a while, but finally he came up with a reply that wouldn?t bring her hopes down, ?We can?t be certain, Relena. If he?s strong, then he will. If he isn?t, then?? Heero trailed off. If he finished his sentence, it?d probably only make things worse.
?What do you think Heero?? asked Relena looking up at him.
Heero looked at her and then looked away again, he thought for a moment and then just shrugged.
************************
Duo quickly stopped by the lady at the counter once again and looked at her nametag.
?Uh? Miss Rita, could you do a favor for me?? asked Duo.
?And what would that be, sir?? asked Rita.
?Call me Duo,? said Duo.
?Very well? Duo, you may call me Rita. What was the favor you asked of?? asked Rita.
?Well, two of my friends are really close you see. One friend has a kid that looks like my other friend. But they?ve never spoken to each other in a long time nor have they made any contact. I would like a DNA testing done on the kid, to see if my friend might be the kid?s father. Is that all right?? asked Duo.
?I guess so, if your FRIENDS allow it to be done,? said Rita.
?Thank you then, they allow. Trust me, they do,? Duo lied. He wasn?t sure, but he didn?t want to waste time asking, especially if the outcome was a no.
?Very well then, what would this child?s name be, Duo?? asked Rita.
?His name is H.J. Peacecraft. His first name stands for something, I just haven?t bothered to ask yet. He?s in the emergency room at the moment, so he might have lost to much blood to do the DNA testing, but if you could get the results as soon as possible, it?d be great,? said Duo quickly.
?I?ll get it as soon as possible and notify you,? said Rita.
?No, notify them first. It?s Relena Peacecraft and the person with her,? said Duo.
?Very well,? said Rita as she picked up her phone.
Somewhere on Earth
Noin stayed at the hospital that night while Zechs slept on the couch in her room. After she had fallen asleep and Zechs was sure of it, he got up as quietly as he could and stood at the side of Noin?s bed.
?Goodbye Noin, stay here while I?m gone. I?ll be back, I promise,? whispered Zechs softly as he gently planted one kiss on her forehead before heading out the door. Closing the door gently behind him, he quickly ran to his car and drove to the hospital Relena and H.J. was probably going.
?Oh Zechs, always underestimating me. I know where you?re going,? Noin whispered when she heard the door close. She knew where Zechs was headed and for once, decided not to question his orders. She involuntarily touched her forehead before dropping her hands to her sides and going back to sleep peacefully.
Back in the Hospital
Duo quickly went toward a candy machine and bought a bag of candy before heading back to the front door of the emergency room. When he got there, he saw Heero?s arm around Relena?s shoulder as she leaned onto him slightly.
?Dang it! Knew I should?ve brought a camera!? thought Duo angrily. But he quietly and calmly walked over to them anyways.
?So how?s H.J. doing?? asked Duo.
?Don?t know yet, he hasn?t come out of there,? answered Heero as he dropped his arms from Relena.
?Oh? I see. Maybe you two should get some sleep, I can stay up for a while. We can take turns. And when I mean we, I mean only you and I take shifts, Heero ol? buddy,? suggested Duo, as he stared at Relena, she looked really tired.
Heero nodded his head as he got up from his seat, ?I?ll take first shift,? said Heero.
?Suit yourself,? Duo shrugged as he yawned. About two hours later, the emergency doors opened.
?Wake up,? said Heero as he shook Duo awake and then Relena.
?H.J.?? asked Relena with worry.
?He?s just been moved to his room, A154,? answered Heero as he headed toward H.J.?s room. When they entered, they saw the doctors leaving them and H.J. was lying there peacefully, as if nothing had happened.
?He?s? O.K.? sighed Relena, her hopes lifting. She took a seat next to H.J. as his eyes slowly opened up.
?Mommy? Daddy?? he whispered.
?I?m right here H.J.,? said Relena as she reached out to hold his tiny, little hand.
?What happened?? asked Heero as Duo went toward the window.
?There? was this woman. She was standing over me with this knife. When I screamed, she cut my arm and disappeared,? said H.J. as he shivered slightly.
?How did she look like?? asked Heero.
?It was so dark, the only thing I saw of her was?? started H.J. when the door slammed opened.
?Sir, we will need your DNA and we will be done in seconds, after that you can all relax,? smiled Rita as she grabbed Heero?s arm and slowly injected a needle. Heero stared at her in confusion as she rushed out of the room and closed the door softly.
?What just happened?? asked Relena in confusion. Heero shrugged as Duo stared intensely out the window.
?Mommy? Can I make a phone call?? asked H.J.
?Of course, who to?? asked Relena as she picked up the phone.
?Just to a few friends, I want to let them know I won?t be playing with them for a while, and not to worry,? smiled H.J.
?Sure,? smiled Relena as she passed H.J. the phone after a few phone calls, H.J. put the phone back and turned to look at Heero.
?Daddy, how come you and Mr. Maxwell aren?t talking?? asked H.J. tiredly.
Duo turned to look at Heero, wondering what Heero?s response would be.
?H.J. you?re tired, why don?t you get some sleep?? Relena interrupted.
?Mommy?? started H.J. when yet again the door slammed opened.
?We have it! The DNA testing! It?s finished!? smiled Rita.
?So?? What is it Rita?? asked Duo excitedly as Heero and Relena looked questioningly as them.
?It?s a positive! It?s his kid! 99.999%! Congratulations!? smiled Rita happily.
?See Daddy? I knew you were my father,? smiled H.J. tiredly, when all of a sudden there was a loud beeping noise and H.J.?s eyes closed and lopped onto a side.
?H.J.!? yelled Relena.
?He hasn?t quite recovered from his blood lose Miss,? said Rita as she quickly pushed them out of the room and a bunch of doctors came running in.
Heero was too shocked to move. What had just happened? What about the mission? What about Relena? What about the marriage Relena had to got through? What about the woman H.J. was talking about? There were a lot of questions going through his mind and he was getting a splitting headache.
?Heero, you O.K. buddy?? asked Duo.
Heero looked up at him, ?What just happened?? asked Heero in confusion.
?Well? I told Rita to check yours and H.J.?s DNA and they matched, so you really are H.J.?s biological father,? smiled Duo.
?But how? That?s impossible,? said Heero, his eyes were a blank, his headache only got worse, and he could hear the bustling of the doctors inside H.J.?s room.
Everyone stayed silent for a while before Relena spoke up, ?You?re? H.J.?s father, but how?? Relena asked in confusion.
?I don?t know, but I?ll find out, ? said Heero deep in thought. He stared intensely on the ground in front of him, as if, if he did, it?d bare a hole in the ground. He never knew what it felt to feel the feelings he was feeling now, so many conflicting thoughts and emotions. They were tearing him apart, being H.J.?s fake father was one thing, but being his real father was a totally other thing. It just felt awkward.
?Congratulations!? smiled Duo as he tried to lighten things up, but it was quite obvious the things between Heero and Relena had just gotten a lot more complicated. And Duo was starting to regret what he had done; maybe suggesting the DNA testing wasn?t just a good idea after all.
Finally the doctors came out of H.J.?s room, ?I?m sorry Miss, but your son has gone into a coma,? said one of the doctors as the others left.
?But how?? asked Relena in disbelief, confusion and a bunch of other feelings all mixed up together. It seemed everything in the world was going wrong in her life.
Heero quickly walked out of there, he couldn?t take it anymore. Everything was just frustrating, what was going on! He just wanted to get this over with, he didn?t know if he could handle anymore. He shouldn?t have even gotten close to Relena in the first place. She had to marry Hilton no matter what her choice really was. H.J. got attacked by some person he didn?t know, now is in a coma and somehow turns out to be his son. It just didn?t add up, he knew he was missing something, but what?
Heero left the hospital and decided to go for a walk, he walked around the garden of the hospital as he tried to clear his mind up. Did the mission he was working on have to do with H.J.?
?Hey! Heero! Wait up!? yelled Duo as he ran up to Heero. ?I know how you feel,? said Duo sympathetically.
Heero shook his head and closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again.
?What?s that supposed to mean?? asked Duo, slightly offended.
?You don?t know how this feels,? said Heero simply in frustration.
?I might not be you, but I don?t need to be, to know how you feel,? said Duo.
?Did you tell Quatre, Trowa and Wufei about the mission yet?? asked Heero, changing the subject. Maybe if Duo did, the other gundam pilots could handle everything first while he tried to figure out the H.J. and Relena affairs.
?Yea, told them before going to bed,? answered Duo.
?When will they be coming?? asked Heero.
?Tomorrow around noon, they will be arriving at the Sanq kingdom,? said Duo while Heero nodded. He?d be the one to pick them up.
Heero finally stopped by a small lake where he picked up a small rock and skipped it on the waters surface. Duo picked one up and did the same thing next to him, ?You know Heero? I might not know that much about what?s happening between you and Relena but what I do know is, H.J. really needs you as a father. And I think you need both of them even if you don?t think or know that yet. It may not be obvious to you, but you love her. And if you already do, then do something. You can?t wait Heero! You just can?t! I heard about the marriage thing she has to go through in a few weeks, do you think after she does, that everything between you and her will be back to normal? Because if you do; then you?re just living in a fantasy world, Heero. I seriously doubt she wants to go through with it, so you?ll have to make the first move and only you can do that. Think about it Heero, I?ll pick Quatre and them up tomorrow instead, just think about it, all right?? asked Duo.
Heero stared at him for a while before finally nodding his head.
?Well, I?ll be heading back to the Sanq kingdom now then. Think about it Heero,? said Duo as he gave Heero one last look and left. His braid swung over his shoulder as he turned around and headed back toward the hospital.
Maybe Maxwell was right this time, he did sound pretty serious and knowing. But was it really what he wanted, there were never really such things as a happy ending after all. What if things didn?t go as planned? He was undercover for heaven sake! What other choice did he have, but to move on? Staying with Relena for a month was really a bad idea he finally realized.
?But I don?t seem to regret it,? thought Heero, ?I don?t think I would?ve changed a thing. What?s wrong with me??
Zechs
Zechs was on the way to the hospital where his nephew and sister was supposed to be. It?s been a long while sis; I just hope you?re all right, thought Zechs as he drove faster. The hospital was pretty far away from where he was, so he?d probably have to make on stop for gas and then head off again. He could probably make it there in three days if he didn?t sleep.
Just then there was someone the stepped right in front of him. Zechs quickly stepped on the brake, hoping he could stop in time before he crashed into who ever it was in front of him. When he finally came to a stop, he quickly stepped out of the car and went to see whom it was.
?Are you alright?? asked Zechs as he tried to help the lady on the ground up; ?Sorry about that, but what were you doing running into the middle of the road like that?? asked Zechs.
?Zechs?? asked the lady. Her hair had fallen over her face and it was starting to rain. Her ankle seemed to be twisted pretty badly and her knee was scrapped. Other than that, there didn?t seem to be any other severe injuries.
?Huh, how do you know-? Zechs stopped when he saw her face clearly. ?It?s you!? he yelled suddenly.

?No!? yelled Duo as he quickly put on his black shirt and headed toward the door with Heero.
?You weren?t trained correctly, were you?? asked Heero with an eyebrow raised. As a Gundam pilot, you were trained to be alert at all times, and not hearing a loud scream like that was just impossible.
?Wha?? Look, that poor kid is hurt right now, and all you can say is ?you weren?t trained correctly, were you?!? What about something like, don?t worry kid, daddy?s coming!? yelled Duo, throwing his arms into the air as he got into Heero?s car.
Heero quickly stepped onto the gas petal as the speed started to rise. Soon they were way pass the speed limit.
?Aren?t you afraid to get arrested?? asked Duo as he held onto his seatbelt tightly, his knuckles turning white from holding on so hard.
Heero ignored him as he looked up in the rear mirror; luckily, there were no police cars or anything.
When they got to the parking lot, Heero and Duo got out of the car and hurried to the counter.
?Which room is H.J. Peacecraft in?? asked Duo.
?Are you his parent or relative of any sort?? asked the lady at the counter.
?No, I?m not. But look at my friend here. He could be his father,? answered Duo.
?So is that a yes or a no sir?? asked the lady.
?YES! YES!? yelled Duo, who couldn?t careless what kind of glare Heero was giving him at the moment.
?Room A154 sir, his room is right around the corner. But he?s in the emergency room sir for now, so you won?t be able to go visit him,? said the lady at the counter.
?THANK YOU!? yelled Duo as he grabbed Heero and ran toward the emergency room. When they reached the front door, they heard a sound. Duo turned around and saw that it was Relena.
?Uh? look at the time!? Duo started.
?It?s 3:45am,? Heero interrupted.
?Exactly! Time to eat! Gotta go! See you around Heero ol? buddy!? said Duo quickly as he ran off around the corner.
Heero turned and saw Relena, whom seemed pretty messed up. Her face was slightly red; her hair was sticking out in some places. Her face with unhidden worry as loss of hope filled her eyes.
Heero took a seat next to her and looked away for a while, unsure of what to do. After a while he gently rested his hand on top of hers. He was about to say something when?
?Do you? do you think H.J. will be all right?? asked Relena with motherly concern written all over her. She might not know how she had gotten H.J., but no matter what; he was still her son.
Heero stayed silent for a while, but finally he came up with a reply that wouldn?t bring her hopes down, ?We can?t be certain, Relena. If he?s strong, then he will. If he isn?t, then?? Heero trailed off. If he finished his sentence, it?d probably only make things worse.
?What do you think Heero?? asked Relena looking up at him.
Heero looked at her and then looked away again, he thought for a moment and then just shrugged.
************************
Duo quickly stopped by the lady at the counter once again and looked at her nametag.
?Uh? Miss Rita, could you do a favor for me?? asked Duo.
?And what would that be, sir?? asked Rita.
?Call me Duo,? said Duo.
?Very well? Duo, you may call me Rita. What was the favor you asked of?? asked Rita.
?Well, two of my friends are really close you see. One friend has a kid that looks like my other friend. But they?ve never spoken to each other in a long time nor have they made any contact. I would like a DNA testing done on the kid, to see if my friend might be the kid?s father. Is that all right?? asked Duo.
?I guess so, if your FRIENDS allow it to be done,? said Rita.
?Thank you then, they allow. Trust me, they do,? Duo lied. He wasn?t sure, but he didn?t want to waste time asking, especially if the outcome was a no.
?Very well then, what would this child?s name be, Duo?? asked Rita.
?His name is H.J. Peacecraft. His first name stands for something, I just haven?t bothered to ask yet. He?s in the emergency room at the moment, so he might have lost to much blood to do the DNA testing, but if you could get the results as soon as possible, it?d be great,? said Duo quickly.
?I?ll get it as soon as possible and notify you,? said Rita.
?No, notify them first. It?s Relena Peacecraft and the person with her,? said Duo.
?Very well,? said Rita as she picked up her phone.
Somewhere on Earth
Noin stayed at the hospital that night while Zechs slept on the couch in her room. After she had fallen asleep and Zechs was sure of it, he got up as quietly as he could and stood at the side of Noin?s bed.
?Goodbye Noin, stay here while I?m gone. I?ll be back, I promise,? whispered Zechs softly as he gently planted one kiss on her forehead before heading out the door. Closing the door gently behind him, he quickly ran to his car and drove to the hospital Relena and H.J. was probably going.
?Oh Zechs, always underestimating me. I know where you?re going,? Noin whispered when she heard the door close. She knew where Zechs was headed and for once, decided not to question his orders. She involuntarily touched her forehead before dropping her hands to her sides and going back to sleep peacefully.
Back in the Hospital
Duo quickly went toward a candy machine and bought a bag of candy before heading back to the front door of the emergency room. When he got there, he saw Heero?s arm around Relena?s shoulder as she leaned onto him slightly.
?Dang it! Knew I should?ve brought a camera!? thought Duo angrily. But he quietly and calmly walked over to them anyways.
?So how?s H.J. doing?? asked Duo.
?Don?t know yet, he hasn?t come out of there,? answered Heero as he dropped his arms from Relena.
?Oh? I see. Maybe you two should get some sleep, I can stay up for a while. We can take turns. And when I mean we, I mean only you and I take shifts, Heero ol? buddy,? suggested Duo, as he stared at Relena, she looked really tired.
Heero nodded his head as he got up from his seat, ?I?ll take first shift,? said Heero.
?Suit yourself,? Duo shrugged as he yawned. About two hours later, the emergency doors opened.
?Wake up,? said Heero as he shook Duo awake and then Relena.
?H.J.?? asked Relena with worry.
?He?s just been moved to his room, A154,? answered Heero as he headed toward H.J.?s room. When they entered, they saw the doctors leaving them and H.J. was lying there peacefully, as if nothing had happened.
?He?s? O.K.? sighed Relena, her hopes lifting. She took a seat next to H.J. as his eyes slowly opened up.
?Mommy? Daddy?? he whispered.
?I?m right here H.J.,? said Relena as she reached out to hold his tiny, little hand.
?What happened?? asked Heero as Duo went toward the window.
?There? was this woman. She was standing over me with this knife. When I screamed, she cut my arm and disappeared,? said H.J. as he shivered slightly.
?How did she look like?? asked Heero.
?It was so dark, the only thing I saw of her was?? started H.J. when the door slammed opened.
?Sir, we will need your DNA and we will be done in seconds, after that you can all relax,? smiled Rita as she grabbed Heero?s arm and slowly injected a needle. Heero stared at her in confusion as she rushed out of the room and closed the door softly.
?What just happened?? asked Relena in confusion. Heero shrugged as Duo stared intensely out the window.
?Mommy? Can I make a phone call?? asked H.J.
?Of course, who to?? asked Relena as she picked up the phone.
?Just to a few friends, I want to let them know I won?t be playing with them for a while, and not to worry,? smiled H.J.
?Sure,? smiled Relena as she passed H.J. the phone after a few phone calls, H.J. put the phone back and turned to look at Heero.
?Daddy, how come you and Mr. Maxwell aren?t talking?? asked H.J. tiredly.
Duo turned to look at Heero, wondering what Heero?s response would be.
?H.J. you?re tired, why don?t you get some sleep?? Relena interrupted.
?Mommy?? started H.J. when yet again the door slammed opened.
?We have it! The DNA testing! It?s finished!? smiled Rita.
?So?? What is it Rita?? asked Duo excitedly as Heero and Relena looked questioningly as them.
?It?s a positive! It?s his kid! 99.999%! Congratulations!? smiled Rita happily.
?See Daddy? I knew you were my father,? smiled H.J. tiredly, when all of a sudden there was a loud beeping noise and H.J.?s eyes closed and lopped onto a side.
?H.J.!? yelled Relena.
?He hasn?t quite recovered from his blood lose Miss,? said Rita as she quickly pushed them out of the room and a bunch of doctors came running in.
Heero was too shocked to move. What had just happened? What about the mission? What about Relena? What about the marriage Relena had to got through? What about the woman H.J. was talking about? There were a lot of questions going through his mind and he was getting a splitting headache.
?Heero, you O.K. buddy?? asked Duo.
Heero looked up at him, ?What just happened?? asked Heero in confusion.
?Well? I told Rita to check yours and H.J.?s DNA and they matched, so you really are H.J.?s biological father,? smiled Duo.
?But how? That?s impossible,? said Heero, his eyes were a blank, his headache only got worse, and he could hear the bustling of the doctors inside H.J.?s room.
Everyone stayed silent for a while before Relena spoke up, ?You?re? H.J.?s father, but how?? Relena asked in confusion.
?I don?t know, but I?ll find out, ? said Heero deep in thought. He stared intensely on the ground in front of him, as if, if he did, it?d bare a hole in the ground. He never knew what it felt to feel the feelings he was feeling now, so many conflicting thoughts and emotions. They were tearing him apart, being H.J.?s fake father was one thing, but being his real father was a totally other thing. It just felt awkward.
?Congratulations!? smiled Duo as he tried to lighten things up, but it was quite obvious the things between Heero and Relena had just gotten a lot more complicated. And Duo was starting to regret what he had done; maybe suggesting the DNA testing wasn?t just a good idea after all.
Finally the doctors came out of H.J.?s room, ?I?m sorry Miss, but your son has gone into a coma,? said one of the doctors as the others left.
?But how?? asked Relena in disbelief, confusion and a bunch of other feelings all mixed up together. It seemed everything in the world was going wrong in her life.
Heero quickly walked out of there, he couldn?t take it anymore. Everything was just frustrating, what was going on! He just wanted to get this over with, he didn?t know if he could handle anymore. He shouldn?t have even gotten close to Relena in the first place. She had to marry Hilton no matter what her choice really was. H.J. got attacked by some person he didn?t know, now is in a coma and somehow turns out to be his son. It just didn?t add up, he knew he was missing something, but what?
Heero left the hospital and decided to go for a walk, he walked around the garden of the hospital as he tried to clear his mind up. Did the mission he was working on have to do with H.J.?
?Hey! Heero! Wait up!? yelled Duo as he ran up to Heero. ?I know how you feel,? said Duo sympathetically.
Heero shook his head and closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again.
?What?s that supposed to mean?? asked Duo, slightly offended.
?You don?t know how this feels,? said Heero simply in frustration.
?I might not be you, but I don?t need to be, to know how you feel,? said Duo.
?Did you tell Quatre, Trowa and Wufei about the mission yet?? asked Heero, changing the subject. Maybe if Duo did, the other gundam pilots could handle everything first while he tried to figure out the H.J. and Relena affairs.
?Yea, told them before going to bed,? answered Duo.
?When will they be coming?? asked Heero.
?Tomorrow around noon, they will be arriving at the Sanq kingdom,? said Duo while Heero nodded. He?d be the one to pick them up.
Heero finally stopped by a small lake where he picked up a small rock and skipped it on the waters surface. Duo picked one up and did the same thing next to him, ?You know Heero? I might not know that much about what?s happening between you and Relena but what I do know is, H.J. really needs you as a father. And I think you need both of them even if you don?t think or know that yet. It may not be obvious to you, but you love her. And if you already do, then do something. You can?t wait Heero! You just can?t! I heard about the marriage thing she has to go through in a few weeks, do you think after she does, that everything between you and her will be back to normal? Because if you do; then you?re just living in a fantasy world, Heero. I seriously doubt she wants to go through with it, so you?ll have to make the first move and only you can do that. Think about it Heero, I?ll pick Quatre and them up tomorrow instead, just think about it, all right?? asked Duo.
Heero stared at him for a while before finally nodding his head.
?Well, I?ll be heading back to the Sanq kingdom now then. Think about it Heero,? said Duo as he gave Heero one last look and left. His braid swung over his shoulder as he turned around and headed back toward the hospital.
Maybe Maxwell was right this time, he did sound pretty serious and knowing. But was it really what he wanted, there were never really such things as a happy ending after all. What if things didn?t go as planned? He was undercover for heaven sake! What other choice did he have, but to move on? Staying with Relena for a month was really a bad idea he finally realized.
?But I don?t seem to regret it,? thought Heero, ?I don?t think I would?ve changed a thing. What?s wrong with me??
Zechs
Zechs was on the way to the hospital where his nephew and sister was supposed to be. It?s been a long while sis; I just hope you?re all right, thought Zechs as he drove faster. The hospital was pretty far away from where he was, so he?d probably have to make on stop for gas and then head off again. He could probably make it there in three days if he didn?t sleep.
Just then there was someone the stepped right in front of him. Zechs quickly stepped on the brake, hoping he could stop in time before he crashed into who ever it was in front of him. When he finally came to a stop, he quickly stepped out of the car and went to see whom it was.
?Are you alright?? asked Zechs as he tried to help the lady on the ground up; ?Sorry about that, but what were you doing running into the middle of the road like that?? asked Zechs.
?Zechs?? asked the lady. Her hair had fallen over her face and it was starting to rain. Her ankle seemed to be twisted pretty badly and her knee was scrapped. Other than that, there didn?t seem to be any other severe injuries.
?Huh, how do you know-? Zechs stopped when he saw her face clearly. ?It?s you!? he yelled suddenly.

I knew it. Heero had to be the daddy. But Heero, Relena, and I are in the same boat. How did H.J. come along? :-? And whose the lady who attacked H.J. and Zechs met?
Anyway. Don't listen to me rant. You've been doing great. Make sure you keep those chapters going. It's a wonderful story.

Chapter Six
Hey everyone! This is the sixth chapter to Deep at Heart. Sorry it took awhile before I could update, but I tried my best. Please enjoy the fic!
________________________________________________________________________
Last time on Deep at Heart
?Are you alright?? asked Zechs as he tried to help the lady on the ground up; ?Sorry about that, but what were you doing running into the middle of the road like that?? asked Zechs.
?Zechs?? asked the lady. Her hair had fallen over her face and it was starting to rain. Her ankle seemed to be twisted pretty badly and her knee was scrapped. Other than that, there didn?t seem to be any other severe injuries.
?Huh, how do you know-? Zechs stopped when he saw her face clearly. ?It?s you!? he yelled suddenly.
Deep at Heart: Chapter six: Meeting Sara
?Milliardo? I haven?t seen you since we were 12 years old, how are you?? asked the lady weakly.
?Sara! What were you doing running into the streets like that? You know it?s dangerous,? said Zechs in concern for his friend.
?I was hoping I?d see you again Milliardo. That?s how we first met, remember?? smiled Sara weakly.
Flashback
Zechs was playing a game of Piggy in the Middle with Treize and Jonathon when the ball flew over the tall bush. Zechs ran through the bushes to try to get the ball, when he saw a girl crossing the street and a car was coming. He quickly shoved her out of the way and watched his favorite ball pop under the wheel of the car. Slowly he got off her.
?Are you alright?? he asked with a sigh of relief.
?Yeah, thanks so much. My name is Sara Bosky and I?m 5 years old, what?s your name?? asked Sara.
?Hi, my name is Milliardo Peacecraft, I?m 6,? smiled Zechs as he got up his feet and helped her up. ?Well, I got to go, bye!? said Zechs as he left and ran back to Jonathon and Treize.
Sara stood there for a while in bewilderment before she decided that she?d be able to talk to him again. Ever since then, they kept bumping into each other, or so Zechs thought. Really, Sara just followed him and pretended to be bumping into him.
End of flashback
?Yeah, I remember,? said Zechs emotionlessly. ?Can you walk?? he asked.
?Yeah, I think so. Where were you going in such a hurry anyways?? asked Sara.
?To the hospital, that?s where my sister and my nephew is,? said Zechs.
?No, you can?t go! I mean, I didn?t know you had a nephew Milliardo,? said Sara.
Zechs looked at her suspiciously, ?I didn?t know that either, until a few days ago,? said Zechs. ?Look, since you?re hurt, I?ll give you a ride. I?m going to the hospital anyways, I might as well bring you there as well,? said Zechs as he helped her into the car and then got in himself.
?Thanks Milliardo. Hey, did you even miss me?? asked Sara.
?I haven?t seen you since we were 12 when the Sanq Kingdom was burned down. And then there was that war, where were you all this time?? asked Zechs as he started his car once again.
?I? I was up in the colonies. I was so afraid too,? said Sara. Zechs immediately started to suspect her. Something in her voice told him that she was hiding something from him, but he decided not to go into that matter, since his only goal at the moment was to go see his nephew, whom he didn?t know anything about.
The rest of the ride was pretty quite since Sara fell asleep and Zechs was concentrating on the road.
The next morning at the hospital
Duo quickly stretched before he started the engine to his car, ?Well, better get over to the Sanq Kingdom.?
When he got there, he saw Wufei, Quatre and Trowa standing at the front entrance waiting for him.
?You?re early, that?s unusual,? smirked Wufei as Duo glared at him and then smiled, ?And so are you guys. I thought we said noon, why are you guys an hour early?? asked Duo.
?We decided to come early,? smiled Quatre as he got into the car and took the seat next to Duo while Trowa and Wufei took the back seats.
?Hey, Wufei. Did you know Heero?s actually H.J.?s father?? asked Duo.
?Who?s H.J.?? asked Wufei.
?Relena?s kid. I made the pretty nurse do the DNA testing and it turned out positive. It?s in the blood line,? answered Duo. He looked into the rear mirror and tried to hold onto his laughter as the thought of Heero being a father went through Wufei?s mind.
?It?s really none of my business,? said Wufei trying to cover up the shocked expression that was on his face earlier.
?It doesn?t matter, we came here for a case,? said Quatre.
?So what?s the situation so far?? asked Trowa.
?Uh, let?s see, first of all, Relena has a kid, don?t know how. Two, she has to marry Hilton or else H.J. and the earth is in danger, don?t know why. Three, someone tried to kill H.J., don?t know whom. Four, H.J. became Heero?s and Relena?s, don?t know when. Five, how does all this fit together or if and where we should we start? And six, does anyone have a donut?? asked Duo suddenly.
?DUO!? laughed Quatre.
?What? I?m hungry,? said Duo as Wufei rolled his eyes and Trowa smiled slightly. Soon they arrived at the hospital and everyone headed toward the room that Duo had told them Heero was in, while Duo went into the cafeteria to get lunch.
Soon they reached Heero. ?Heero, we heard about the situation, so what do you think would be a good first move?? asked Quatre getting right to the point.
?Where?s Duo?? asked Heero.
?Cafeteria, stuffing his face,? answered Wufei in a dull tone. Heero quickly got out of his seat and headed toward the cafeteria where they could have a group meeting. Everyone took a seat at a table and waited for the Duo with his mouth full of food and sit down.
?Fopai, ow hat we?re alf togefer, vhat do we do?? asked Duo with his mouth full.
?Could you say that again?? asked Quatre as Duo swallowed.
?I said, O.K. now that we?re all together, what do we do? What?s our first move?? repeated Duo in a much clearer voice.
?Simple, each of us takes one of the cases, and see what we find. See if it fits together,? said Wufei.
?We could do that, but you just got here so you have no clue where to start looking for evidence,? said Heero.
?O.K. We know that H.J. Relena and Hilton are somehow connected, do you think that maybe the person who tried to kill H.J. was hired by Hilton?? asked Quatre.
?Maybe, but if it was. Why would he want to do that when he was using H.J. to get Relena to marry him?? said Trowa reasonably.
?That?s true,? agreed Duo as he took another bite out of his sandwich.
?She refused him,? said Heero, trying to make a point. Though now she had to agree.
?So, she refused him and when he captured H.J. it made no difference, so maybe now he thinks if he gets H.J. out of the way it?s make things a whole lot easier for him,? said Wufei thoughtfully.
?That could be possible, but for now let?s just keep it cool. Act as if nothings up, especially around Relena. She got it pretty bad already,? said Duo.
?Who cares? She?s a woman,? said Wufei in a dull tone, when all of a sudden, Duo, and Quatre turned to look at Heero and Trowa turned away trying not to look as if it was obvious. ?Never mind,? said Wufei with a defeated sigh.
Heero glared at Quatre and Duo, and then he quickly walked pass them. When he got to the door of H.J.?s room, he slowly turned the doorknob; to make sure he wouldn?t wake anyone up, knowing that Relena had probably gone inside.
H.J. lay silently on his bed, there was a drop of tear at the corner of his left eye that slowly ran down the side of his cheek as if he was just crying, but he wasn?t. He looked as if he would wake up at any second and start laughing and saying ?Daddy? all over again, but he wouldn?t.
Slowly Heero reached the side of H.J.?s bed, and the only words that could possibly come out of his mouth was, ?I?m sorry.? Sorry, you?re here, thought Heero silently. He knew that H.J. was supposed to be his child, but how cold that possibly happen?
Just then, Heero sensed something approach from behind him and he quickly turned around, but there was no one there. There was definitely something wrong and he knew it, whenever he sensed something approaching or even behind him, he was always right. There was definitely something wrong with this picture. Suddenly he heard a sigh he quickly turned to see where it was coming from, but no one was there.
?Who?s there?? asked Heero as he made his way to the other side of H.J.?s bed.
?Heero?? asked a feminine voice.
Heero looked down and saw Relena was lying on the couch.
?Heero, what is it?? asked Relena, wondering why Heero was standing there staring at her. Suddenly, he turned around and was about to leave, when H.J. made a sound.
?D-daddy? N-NOOOOOOO!!!? H.J. suddenly yelled and then there was a loud beeping noise once more. Heero quickly grabbed Relena and cleared out of the room, knowing that the doctors that were soon rushing into he room, wouldn?t want them around.
?What?s going on Heero, why is this happening?? asked Relena.
?Someone might have contaminated his fluids,? said Heero simply as he quickly left to tell the others, so that they would know where to start. But when he got to the cafeteria, he found himself starring right into the eyes he truly despised.
?Hilton,? he growled as he glared at him, but Hilton seemed unaffected this time.
?So we finally meet, HEERO YUY. I know who you are, and you can rest ashore that I will make you pay for what had happened. The wedding is coming in less than week, and there?s nothing you can do about it, not even your friends,? said Hilton as a smirk slowly appeared onto his face.
Heero quickly looked around him and saw Trowa, Wufei, Quatre and Duo being held up by Hilton?s men.
?Oh, don?t worry, they?re not dead. They?re just unconscious at the moment, but they will be if you don?t stop getting in my way. They were a hard bunch. So we had to lock this place up and let the sleeping gas take over before we got here. Quite brilliant really, if I do say so myself. By the way, if you lay one finger on me, one of your friends will pay with his life,? said Hilton as he and his men started to exit the cafeteria without the ex-gundam pilots.
?Did I mention, we poisoned them? One false move, and there won?t be an antidote for them,? smirked Hilton as he continued to walk again.
?HILTON!? yelled Heero in outrage.
How in the world was he going to handle this? There was just no possible way he could. His allies were poisoned, Relena was getting married, there was a murderer in their mists and there was just no way he could solve all of this in such a short matter of time. But he had to try anyhow.
?And I will succeed,? whispered Heero as he glared the doorway, which Hilton once stood. ?I swear it.?

?No, you can?t go! I mean, I didn?t know you had a nephew Milliardo,? said Sara.
Zechs looked at her suspiciously, ?I didn?t know that either, until a few days ago,? said Zechs. ?Look, since you?re hurt, I?ll give you a ride. I?m going to the hospital anyways, I might as well bring you there as well,? said Zechs as he helped her into the car and then got in himself.
?Thanks Milliardo. Hey, did you even miss me?? asked Sara.
?I haven?t seen you since we were 12 when the Sanq Kingdom was burned down. And then there was that war, where were you all this time?? asked Zechs as he started his car once again.
?I? I was up in the colonies. I was so afraid too,? said Sara. Zechs immediately started to suspect her. Something in her voice told him that she was hiding something from him, but he decided not to go into that matter, since his only goal at the moment was to go see his nephew, whom he didn?t know anything about.
The rest of the ride was pretty quite since Sara fell asleep and Zechs was concentrating on the road.
The next morning at the hospital
Duo quickly stretched before he started the engine to his car, ?Well, better get over to the Sanq Kingdom.?
When he got there, he saw Wufei, Quatre and Trowa standing at the front entrance waiting for him.
?You?re early, that?s unusual,? smirked Wufei as Duo glared at him and then smiled, ?And so are you guys. I thought we said noon, why are you guys an hour early?? asked Duo.
?We decided to come early,? smiled Quatre as he got into the car and took the seat next to Duo while Trowa and Wufei took the back seats.
?Hey, Wufei. Did you know Heero?s actually H.J.?s father?? asked Duo.
?Who?s H.J.?? asked Wufei.
?Relena?s kid. I made the pretty nurse do the DNA testing and it turned out positive. It?s in the blood line,? answered Duo. He looked into the rear mirror and tried to hold onto his laughter as the thought of Heero being a father went through Wufei?s mind.
?It?s really none of my business,? said Wufei trying to cover up the shocked expression that was on his face earlier.
?It doesn?t matter, we came here for a case,? said Quatre.
?So what?s the situation so far?? asked Trowa.
?Uh, let?s see, first of all, Relena has a kid, don?t know how. Two, she has to marry Hilton or else H.J. and the earth is in danger, don?t know why. Three, someone tried to kill H.J., don?t know whom. Four, H.J. became Heero?s and Relena?s, don?t know when. Five, how does all this fit together or if and where we should we start? And six, does anyone have a donut?? asked Duo suddenly.
?DUO!? laughed Quatre.
?What? I?m hungry,? said Duo as Wufei rolled his eyes and Trowa smiled slightly. Soon they arrived at the hospital and everyone headed toward the room that Duo had told them Heero was in, while Duo went into the cafeteria to get lunch.
Soon they reached Heero. ?Heero, we heard about the situation, so what do you think would be a good first move?? asked Quatre getting right to the point.
?Where?s Duo?? asked Heero.
?Cafeteria, stuffing his face,? answered Wufei in a dull tone. Heero quickly got out of his seat and headed toward the cafeteria where they could have a group meeting. Everyone took a seat at a table and waited for the Duo with his mouth full of food and sit down.
?Fopai, ow hat we?re alf togefer, vhat do we do?? asked Duo with his mouth full.
?Could you say that again?? asked Quatre as Duo swallowed.
?I said, O.K. now that we?re all together, what do we do? What?s our first move?? repeated Duo in a much clearer voice.
?Simple, each of us takes one of the cases, and see what we find. See if it fits together,? said Wufei.
?We could do that, but you just got here so you have no clue where to start looking for evidence,? said Heero.
?O.K. We know that H.J. Relena and Hilton are somehow connected, do you think that maybe the person who tried to kill H.J. was hired by Hilton?? asked Quatre.
?Maybe, but if it was. Why would he want to do that when he was using H.J. to get Relena to marry him?? said Trowa reasonably.
?That?s true,? agreed Duo as he took another bite out of his sandwich.
?She refused him,? said Heero, trying to make a point. Though now she had to agree.
?So, she refused him and when he captured H.J. it made no difference, so maybe now he thinks if he gets H.J. out of the way it?s make things a whole lot easier for him,? said Wufei thoughtfully.
?That could be possible, but for now let?s just keep it cool. Act as if nothings up, especially around Relena. She got it pretty bad already,? said Duo.
?Who cares? She?s a woman,? said Wufei in a dull tone, when all of a sudden, Duo, and Quatre turned to look at Heero and Trowa turned away trying not to look as if it was obvious. ?Never mind,? said Wufei with a defeated sigh.
Heero glared at Quatre and Duo, and then he quickly walked pass them. When he got to the door of H.J.?s room, he slowly turned the doorknob; to make sure he wouldn?t wake anyone up, knowing that Relena had probably gone inside.
H.J. lay silently on his bed, there was a drop of tear at the corner of his left eye that slowly ran down the side of his cheek as if he was just crying, but he wasn?t. He looked as if he would wake up at any second and start laughing and saying ?Daddy? all over again, but he wouldn?t.
Slowly Heero reached the side of H.J.?s bed, and the only words that could possibly come out of his mouth was, ?I?m sorry.? Sorry, you?re here, thought Heero silently. He knew that H.J. was supposed to be his child, but how cold that possibly happen?
Just then, Heero sensed something approach from behind him and he quickly turned around, but there was no one there. There was definitely something wrong and he knew it, whenever he sensed something approaching or even behind him, he was always right. There was definitely something wrong with this picture. Suddenly he heard a sigh he quickly turned to see where it was coming from, but no one was there.
?Who?s there?? asked Heero as he made his way to the other side of H.J.?s bed.
?Heero?? asked a feminine voice.
Heero looked down and saw Relena was lying on the couch.
?Heero, what is it?? asked Relena, wondering why Heero was standing there staring at her. Suddenly, he turned around and was about to leave, when H.J. made a sound.
?D-daddy? N-NOOOOOOO!!!? H.J. suddenly yelled and then there was a loud beeping noise once more. Heero quickly grabbed Relena and cleared out of the room, knowing that the doctors that were soon rushing into he room, wouldn?t want them around.
?What?s going on Heero, why is this happening?? asked Relena.
?Someone might have contaminated his fluids,? said Heero simply as he quickly left to tell the others, so that they would know where to start. But when he got to the cafeteria, he found himself starring right into the eyes he truly despised.
?Hilton,? he growled as he glared at him, but Hilton seemed unaffected this time.
?So we finally meet, HEERO YUY. I know who you are, and you can rest ashore that I will make you pay for what had happened. The wedding is coming in less than week, and there?s nothing you can do about it, not even your friends,? said Hilton as a smirk slowly appeared onto his face.
Heero quickly looked around him and saw Trowa, Wufei, Quatre and Duo being held up by Hilton?s men.
?Oh, don?t worry, they?re not dead. They?re just unconscious at the moment, but they will be if you don?t stop getting in my way. They were a hard bunch. So we had to lock this place up and let the sleeping gas take over before we got here. Quite brilliant really, if I do say so myself. By the way, if you lay one finger on me, one of your friends will pay with his life,? said Hilton as he and his men started to exit the cafeteria without the ex-gundam pilots.
?Did I mention, we poisoned them? One false move, and there won?t be an antidote for them,? smirked Hilton as he continued to walk again.
?HILTON!? yelled Heero in outrage.
How in the world was he going to handle this? There was just no possible way he could. His allies were poisoned, Relena was getting married, there was a murderer in their mists and there was just no way he could solve all of this in such a short matter of time. But he had to try anyhow.
?And I will succeed,? whispered Heero as he glared the doorway, which Hilton once stood. ?I swear it.?

Pheniox, you did a TERRIFIC job on the fic, just a word of advice, next time when you write fics, it would be better if you posted them as new posts, i didn't know that you updated the fics.

shadowcat, Yupper! That's exactly where I got it from. (I'm a huge Zelda fan, not to mention I have a twin, and we nickname ourselves Koume and Kotake.) :razz:
As always, fallen pheniox, you did a wonderful job with the fic, even though it was a short chapter. Keep up the good work! As usual, I can't wait for the next chapter.
