Disclaimer: I don?t own Gundam Wing? ;_; But, I do own my own characters, plots, and course of events! So? don?t take it! Thanks, bai bai!

?Ack!? A feminine scream echoed through the building. ?Andrew! I?m gonna kill you!?
?What did I do this time?? Andrew whined and slumped down in his chair, letting the newspaper in his hands slide down and cover his face.
?Where?s my laptop?!?!?
?Uhh? How should I know?!?? He rolled his eyes.
?Master Andrew? Shouldn?t you help her look?? Isabelle wandered into the living room with a tray and tea.
?No. She?d just bite my head off.? He sighed dramatically. ?I hate PMSing girls.?
?She?s not PMSing, she?s pregnant.?
?Even worse!? He groaned and paled when he heard the shriek again.
?Andrew! Help me find the damn thing!?
?I suppose I must.? He sighed, got up, and ascended the stairs.
?They?re so cute.? Isabelle swooned silently, picked up the tray once more, and went back into the kitchen from which she came.
?Yes, Annie-chan?? He looked at her and smiled.
?Help me find my laptop!? There were big tears in her eyes and she was sitting on the floor. Andrew winced and sighed.
?All right. Where did you have it last??
?I? don?t know!? She burst out sobbing.
?Ack! Annie! C?mon! Crying isn?t going to help!? Wrong move.
?Oh, you?re mean! I hate you!? She had gone from sobbing to pissed in .001 seconds. The small Japanese girl picked up a shoe and hurled it at him.
?Waah! Annie! Yipe!? Dodging shoes is not an Olympic contest for a reason? if the one throwing is Ann Lowe, you?re screwed. Or skewered, whichever happens first.
There was one loud thud, followed by another, and Andrew found himself looking up at the ceiling from his back on the floor. ?Ow.?
?Sorry!? Another dramatic mood swing. Now she was all-too-sweet.
?No, I?m fine?? Andrew stood up and rubbed his back. ?I think your laptop is on the table downstairs.?
?Really!? She ran forward and grabbed him around the neck in a hug. ?Thank you!? She kissed him and bolted out the door.
Andrew turned his eyes to heaven, and muttered to Him lightly. ?Remind me to never impregnate her again, please??
He sighed and went back down the stairs. ?Just two more months? Just gotta keep telling myself that.?
The next two months passed? uneventfully, and it was March of After Colony 180 when Ann Lowe gave birth to, with a little help in creation from Andrew, Rei Ayame Lowe. They had decided to use Ann?s last name, for their son?s chance at going to school like a normal child and the like. The exact date: March 14 ? White Day ? 180 AC.* Rei was a small child, with dark brown hair (from his father) and dark blue eyes (from his mother).
Four months later, the Yuy family was invited to the Peacecraft residence for a? ?get together?.
?Ann! How wonderful to see you!? Queen Peacecraft shrieked happily.
?You too!? Ann rubbed her ears slightly and smiled.
?Andrew! Isabelle! Michael! Louis!? Queen Peacecraft kissed them all on the cheek briefly. ?Wonderful to see all of you!? When she saw Rei, God can be thanked the child was not smothered. ?He?s so adorable! How old is he??
?He was four months two days ago.? Ann smiled and cradled her child against her.
?Oh! He?s only a month older than my daughter!?
?You had another child? Congratulations!? Ann smiled and congratulated her.
?Yes! We named her Relena.? She smiled and suddenly brightened up even more.
?I?ll run and get her!? She ran off through the house to retrieve her newest child. When she returned, she was carrying a little girl with light brown hair and light blue eyes, and her son was trailing behind her. ?Isn?t she beautiful?? She cooed and smiled at her daughter.
?Yes, very.? Ann smiled again. She seemed to be doing that quite a bit.
?Milliardo turned four a couple months ago, too.? She patted her son on the head as Isabelle took Relena for her.
?I can see he?s gotten bigger!? Ann laughed gently. ?How are you, little one??
?Good.? He answered shortly and looked her defiantly in the eyes. ?You??
?I?m wonderful, thank you for asking.? She tried to pat him on the head, but he dodged her hand.
?I don?t know you, you?re a stranger.? His blue eyes were almost cold towards her, and he was obviously protective of his mother and sister.
?I?m the one that your father helped to marry when you were just a baby. He married myself and Andrew, so that we could be together, and not be known..? She smiled and stood up, as she had been kneeling next to the boy.
?Fine.? He looked at her in the face. ?But who are you??
?My name is Ann Lowe, Yuy by marriage.? She balanced her son carefully with one hand and held out the other for the young boy to shake, and he did so, then smiled slightly.
?I like you. You don?t treat me like I?m an idiot.?
?No, you?re very intelligent for your age. Almost just like me. Except I don?t think you quite have some of the problems I had. But then again, you may.? Her eyes shaded over and became sad and nostalgic.
?I hope not, because these things seem to sadden you.? He looked at her thoughtfully. ?Is he your son?? He pointed to Rei.
?Yes, he is. His name is Rei Ayame Lowe.? She showed the sleeping baby to the boy.
?How old is he??
?Four months.?
?Why does he have your last name and not your husband?s??
?Because people are more likely to recognize my husband?s than my own. Though both are known.?
?I see.? They both turned to Rei, as he had woken up. His blue eyes trailed from his mother?s face to the blonde-haired boy before him. ?He looks exactly like a combination of you and your husband. His hair and your eyes.?
?Yes, he does, doesn?t he??
?Truly. When is his birthday??
?March 14, White Day.?
?What is ?White Day???
?The opposite of Valentines Day. In Japan, the nation that my heritage comes from, they celebrate both Valentines and White Day. On Valentines, girls give the boys brown chocolate, and on White Day, the boys have to give every girl -- who gave them chocolate -- white chocolate.?
?Sounds fun.?
?Yeah, hard to have fun with it when the only boys around are your son, your husband, your chef, and your chauffeur.?
?Hey!? All the aforementioned men, with the exception of Rei, exclaimed playfully.
?Just kidding, boys!? All around laughed. Amid the laughter, only Ann and the infant child heard Milliardo?s odd statement.
?I feel that I will know your son someday. I should like to hope that I remember him, but I do not think that I will by features alone.? He looked thoughtfully at the small boy again. ?And I don?t feel that you?ll be able to help me remember, Miss Ann. I can?t say why, but I do feel this way.?
Later that night, supper was prepared at the Peacecraft residence? or rather, palace. With Louis?s help, of course. Never would a meal be made with him around that he hadn?t helped with.
?Well, what are you two going to be doing after you leave here?? Queen Peacecraft asked Ann and Andrew politely.
?Going home, I suppose. There isn?t much else we can do. When Rei becomes old enough for school, we were talking about having him live with Isabelle on one of the colonies so that his schooling is normal and he can meet people on his own, rather than just the people we know.? Ann took a drink of water.
?We could take him in for schooling, that wouldn?t be a problem. Our children will be going to private school.? King Peacecraft offered.
?That would work, I suppose.? Ann smiled. ?Though, we don?t wish to be a burden.?
?Oh, of course not! You could never be!?
?Thank you!? Ann smiled and laughed lightly.
?Do you two intend to have any more children?? Queen Peacecraft asked cheerfully.
?No.? Ann and Andrew answered in unison.
?Wha???
Everyone was rather taken aback by their abrupt answer.
?Why not?? Queen Peacecraft asked, in mild shock.
?Because. Having Rei nearly killed me.? Ann murmured indignantly. ?My body just isn?t right for being pregnant. Plus, I nearly maimed poor Andrew.?
?You can say that again! She went from mad to frantic to sad to pissed to lovey-dovey in a matter of minutes! I had more shoes thrown at me in that damn nine-month period than I even knew we owned!? Andrew paled and grimaced.
?Yeah. It wasn?t good. Ann is a little touchy to begin with. Her PMSing is horrible. Her pregnant was even worse.? Isabelle grinned and returned to feeding Rei.
?I agree with love.? Louis whistled beneath his breath. ?Ann is? how do you say? a fire cracker.?
?Yeah? that?s being nice.? Mike laughed.
?Oi! Are you guys teaming up against me?!?!?? Ann glared at them all, annoyed.
?Maybe, maybe not. You?ll never know.? Andrew stuck his tongue out at her, and then they all laughed, Ann included.
?I suppose not!? She fake-sighed, then they all laughed again.
Two weeks later, after a largely-prolonged stay at the Peacecraft?s, Ann, Andrew, and their friends and son left to return to the satellite.
?Well, that was fun.? Andrew smiled as they sat down to tea a day after returning to their home.
?Yeah.? Ann was looking at her cut quite intently, with her brows furrowed.
?What?s wrong??
?Just something bugging me. Itching at my stomach. It?s like being nervous, but I can?t figured out what I?d be nervous for. It?s confusing.?
?I suppose so. What could it be? Do you have any idea whatsoever??
?No. None.? She looked over at him, then shook her head lightly. ?I have no idea.?
Notes:
*Okay, first off, White Day REALLY is a holiday. And secondly, I don?t know his real birthday, sorry. A LOT of sources say he?s a Virgo, which would be sometime from August 21 to September 21, but since I don?t know if that?s true or not, I won?t say anything. I have no idea what it really is, so don?t take this as official information, ?k?
Well? I know that was mushy-gushy blah? For those of you who like this mush, I?m sorry, you may need to wait for the sequel for more, I guarantee you that there will be some! But? This story is coming to a close! I have the whole end planned out. There will be seven more chapters and an epilogue. Then? sequel! I?ve got the sequel all planned! Yeah!
Okay, from now on, this story earns it?s PG-13 rating. This is just a warning. Here?s a funny little thing that me and my friend Dani came up with. If she and I were to write a story together, it would very closely resemble X/1999. Her doing the romances, me doing the action. That?s just how this works. I haven?t written anything action packed in a while? so bear with me if this isn?t very good starting. I?m gonna try! This is Gundam, man! It?s gotta be good! *laughs* Have fun!
~Ann Lowe
To Kelsey, Katy-girl, Dani, and Angie: I have the layout for the last few chapters, thus this may seem just a little more organized than the before chapters. Also? erm? If I accidentally get the beginning of the sequel out before I finish this? oops? x.x Heh-heh? Also: the Epilogue is also the sequel?s prologue? kinda. I hope you like the ending! (Erm, I?m trying to finish this over the long Christmas break? if I do, then yay! And if I don?t, you know I tried! [Actually, you know I?m just not very good at following goals.]) Well, hope you enjoyed!
GOT IT UP! YES! Gonna be late for class though...crap.
