The year was AC 214.
Coincidentally, since everyone was in the area, they all decided to come down unannounced and see Heero and Relena.
Duo and Hilde were regular visitors who lived close by; Wufei and Sally were only able to visit occasionally whenever they could; Quatre and Dorothy were on a rare visit from the L4 cluster; and Trowa and his sister Catherine happened to be touring Earth with their circus.
So everyone was finally here?
?to see the latest addition to the Yuy household.
Now, perhaps before we continue it would be sensible to introduce the three other children that Heero and Relena had brought into the world. Yes, you heard right, impossible though it may sound. The truth of the fact was visible in the way Duo was often seen nudging his buddy with a loud vocalisation of, ?Go Heero, you machine!? Only to receive the sharpest glare in return.
The eldest was ten year old Ayame Yuy. Ayame was tomboyish, with blond hair that spiked out but her Prussian blue eyes were round like her mother?s, giving her a feminine touch which made her seem amiable and friendly. Ayame took her responsibility as the eldest rather seriously, although she was known to tease her siblings occasionally. Her uncle Duo, who was also her godparent, often called her ?Small Lady? or ?Princess? in his usual trend of assigning nicknames for everyone. She had rebelled against wearing any sort of dress for the special visit of all her uncles and aunts; choosing a casual set of jeans and a pale green top instead, and was currently relating her great escapades with her best friend Ethan (Duo?s son) to Aunt Hilde.
After her came six year old Hana Yuy who was sitting on Trowa?s lap swinging her legs and taking a great interest in combing the long bangs that covered the side of his face with her little brush while he silently let her. Hana had cerulean eyes and dark brown hair which fell straight to her shoulders, contrasting sharply against the white sleeveless frock decorated with little flowers that she was wearing. Her little face scrunched up often into a sharp glare if she didn?t get her way, which proved to be very trying for everyone and Duo nicknamed her ?Little-Death-Glare? and ?Queen of the Temper? rather fondly. Hanna?s godparent was Wufei and she delighted in using her persuasive skills to make him acquiesce to her demands; this being the reason why he was hiding in the other corner of the room behind Sally.
Then there was four year old Chloe Yuy. Sweet and gentle Chloe was absolutely adored by everyone and even Duo couldn?t come up with a nickname for her so she was just referred to as ?Angel?. Relena had dressed her in a pale blue frock with a little blue clip in her golden hair. She had sky blue eyes round with wonder as she listened to everyone while calmly sitting in Quatre?s, her godparent?s, lap.
As for the others: Duo and Hilde themselves had two sons, Ethan and Jacob Maxwell. Ethan was the same age as Ayame and Jacob was five years old. Quatre and Dorothy had one son, six year old Apollo Winner (Dorothy?s eccentric nature being responsible for the name). Wufei and Sally also had a little girl, two year old Lian Chang. Theirs is another story though and we come back into focus on the Yuy household.
After a while, Heero quietly escorted his little girls back into Pagan?s care. ?Grampa Pagan?, as they liked to call him was in the garden. A man who refused to retire and had completely given his heart, body and soul to the care of the household. Relena and Heero didn?t know what they would have done without him.
Hana refused to be budged but her glare was no match for her father?s so she sulkily pouted while Ayame took little Chloe?s hand and they all marched out. Heero returned promptly and resumed his position, informing everyone that Relena would be bringing number four down soon. He was met with wondrous stares all around. It was hard to believe that he belonged into this cosy picture but here he was. When Ayame had been born, they had all congratulated him for picking up his life but nobody expected three more to follow.
And here Relena came now; they could hear her walking down the stairs. She had a smile on her face holding the object of everyone?s interest to her chest protectively as she walked in. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail and she was wearing a burnt orange sweater and white slacks. An amused smirk crossed Heero?s face as everyone leaned forward in their seats eagerly. She removed her hand and allowed everyone to see.
Five month old Sasha Yuy lifted her head resting against her mother?s shoulder and blinked. Her Prussian blue eyes glittered in the light from beneath the messy dark brown tangle on her head. She was chubby and her fists were clutching Relena?s sweater for balance and a sense of security. Relena had yearned to have a little boy for a change but Sasha was still cherished and loved. She almost looked like a boy anyway in her denim coloured dungarees and green top. She propped her fist in her mouth and blinked again.
The room was suddenly filled with the chorus of ?awww?.
?Here she is,? Relena said softly and kissed Sasha?s nose. Sasha blinked as Relena?s bangs brushed against her and she raised her tiny fists to grab a strand. Relena quietly disentangled it from her grasp and handed Sasha over with an encouraging nod to her godparent, Trowa.
Sasha blinked and stared up at the stranger who was holding her.
Trowa blinked.
Sasha blinked.
Trowa blinked.
The cycle continued for a while until Sasha gave up and popped her fist in her mouth, emitting a stream of muffled babble. Trowa broke into a gentle smile, ?She?s not bad for a kid.? Everyone crowded round and peered at her. Sasha continued nonsensically until she was aware of a steady stream of eyes trained on her every movement. She tilted her head at them all and then covered her face with her hands only to move it aside and look proud as they all reappeared again.
?She?s so cute!? Hilde gushed and the others nodded in agreement. Catherine leaned over and tickled her tummy. Sasha giggled and reached out for the hand that was responsible, catching a finger instead. Catherine took the opportunity and picked her up from Trowa. She was slowly passed around so everyone could get a chance to hold her. She was pinched, poked and kissed lovingly until she squirmed uncomfortably and became tired of being passed around. She began to whimper and wiggle when she was handed to Duo. ?Zero-point-one!? He exclaimed and bounced her playfully. Heero grimaced and sent him a glare at his back. Relena tried to smother her laugh, ?Duo, you know Heero doesn?t appreciate it when you call Sasha that.?
Duo grinned at her, ?But it fits! She looks like a little miniature Heero anyway. Maybe we should call her ?The perfect imitation? instead? You like that don?t you?? He cooed.
?Maxwell?? Heero growled warningly. Sasha, recognising her daddy?s voice suddenly decided she?d had enough of being with other people and her lip began to tremble. ?Uh-oh, help quick!? Duo said in mock terror as Sasha started crying. Heero sighed in defeat and walked forward. As soon as Sasha saw him, her cries became louder and she leaned in his direction with her little arms outstretched. Heero took her gently and tucked her into his arms. She immediately quietened down and rubbed her face in his soft jumper, clutching him for dear life. Cautiously, she tilted her head and peered out with moist eyes to see whether everyone was still there in the room.
She was met with another loud chorus of ?awww? at her behaviour.
Sasha buried her head in Heero?s jumper again. He patted her back comfortingly and sat down in one of the armchairs. Relena brought everyone some drinks.
?Wow,? Duo said shaking his head, ?I never thought I?d see the day Heero. You?re more experienced than me in this department.?
?That?s because you never lifted a hand helping me bring up Ethan and Jacob. Honestly, with you it was like looking after three kids instead of two!? Hilde berated and everyone laughed.
After that, the general chatter turned to other things and Heero just sat back and listened to the conversation. Sasha eventually became restless again, wanting to play and he turned her around so she sat in his lap facing outwards. She reached for his hand which he obediently brought in front of her. She pressed her hands against his palm and laughed when his large hand encased her small ones. Heero opened his palm out again and watched as she waited. After a while she tapped her hands on his open palm impatiently, do it again. So he trapped her little hands gently making her laugh again. She arched her head back to look up at daddy.
?What is it?? He asked quietly.
She laughed at the sound of his voice and reached up for him. He chuckled as she twisted and tried to turn around. She preferred being held so she could nestle her head into his chest. Like Relena, he reflected wryly. He turned his attention to the conversation in the room and discovered it was drawing to a close. Everyone commented that it was getting late and they should get going. Relena made them all promise to come again for longer this time and they agreed readily. Heero and Relena stood at the door with Ayame, Hanna and Chloe at their heels and saw everyone off.
Sasha got another bout of wet kisses and cuddles before the door finally closed. The girls all went rushing off to continue playing in the garden. Relena rubbed her neck and turned to Heero with a smile, ?That was nice surprise.?
?Hn,? He answered. She laughed and kissed him softly.
?You surprised them too.? She nestled her head by his neck and he kissed the top of her head. There was a soft murmur from between them and Relena edged back to see Sasha looking up at her with big sad eyes. She stroked her cheek. ?Did you get smothered too much sweetie? It?s over now but your bath time isn?t? She added wickedly and leaned in till her forehead gently touched Sasha?s.
Sasha blinked and uttered a stream of cute, unintelligible sounds. Relena waggled her finger, ?No protests, come on. You?re almost as bad as your daddy.?
Heero straightened, ?Hey I take showers regularly.?
?Only if I?m in them with you.?
He smirked as Relena gently took Sasha from his arms and nuzzled her teasingly. He could actually understand the shock of the others when they saw him now. He sometimes didn?t believe where he was today himself?He suddenly realised Relena was looking at him, ?What?? He asked.
?Don?t get reflective on me,? She lifted her head and kissed him softly again. He leaned into her kiss gently. Sasha squirmed causing them to break apart and they laughed. ?All right, all right,? Relena complained, ?I?m going already.?
Heero watched them go with a smile on his face.
And silently thanked all unknown forces out there for giving him his wife and four little girls for they were his five pieces of heaven.
