oOoOoOo

The sounds of the early morning traffic could be heard like
ocean waves breaking on a sandy beach on the Earth. Purple eyes fluttered
opened as an annoying beeping penetrated through Duo’s unconscious state of
rest. The first thing she felt was the slight throbbing ache in her left hand
then she felt more aches along her body.

A mop of dark messy hair was peeking out from underneath the
thin bed covers next to her. Another clue as to where she was. Duo turned her
head to her right to spot another mop of messy hair in the next bed over.

“Heero,” Duo called out weakly her
throat relaxing to moisten her parched mouth.

Being a light sleeper, the man in question shot up in bed at
the sound of his name.

“Duo…baby…how are you feeling?”

“Fine, I think,” Duo answered trying to sit up. “Relena –
that b-”

“Shh, don’t use that language
around Hayate,” Heero chastised checking to make sure their son was still
asleep.

The ex-pilot had the grace to blush. “Where is she?” Duo
growled. She wanted to kick her ass again for thinking that she could get away
with trying to kill her.

“She’s downstairs. What happened?”

Duo closed her eyes remembering, willing her self not to break
down in front of her husband.

“Let me just tell you now that whatever the outcome is the
punishment will be well worth it.”

Heero openly smiled at his
Shinigami. She always had a way with words.

“The Minister confronted me…”

oOo Flashback
oOo

Rain was falling
heavily outside. The water sliding down the windows in rivulets and hitting the
roof like hail. Two figures slowly walked around each other in a circle.

“Give it up, Relena,
you don’t stand a chance against me,” Duo taunted truthfully.

“I managed to get you
once and I will again. Only this time I’m not going to keep you like a pampered
whore – this time – Heero will be mine!”

“And you’re forgetting
one very important thing…”

Indigo orbs reflected
in the darkness. Duo’s soft alto dropped to a dangerous level making the temperature
more freezing.

Relena gave Duo a puzzled look, not realizing the
impending threat. “(Scoffs) yeah, what’s that?”

“They call me Death
for a reason, you man stealing bitch!”

Duo launched her self
at the petrified former Queen of the World coming at her and landed a hard
solid right punch to Relena’s jaw.

Relena stumbled back only to fall over an end
table. The lamp on top was knocked over breaking when it made contact with the
floor. Duo didn’t give her rival time to recover. She immediately jumped on top
of Relena. With each strike, Duo thought of her imprisonment until her hand was
numb, swollen, and bloody.

The Minister remained
unmoving. Duo grabbed Relena by her suit jacket lapels – her hand posed to
deliver a killing blow.

“You’re not worth
killing.”

However, as Duo
released the Minister’s clothes, her eyes widen a mute scream upon her lips.
She looked down at the maniacal grinning face.

“I win.”

Looking further down
to her own body – there in her side below her ribs was a throwing knife – blood
was seeping through. A large crimson spot was spreading across Duo’s shirt. She
fell back away from Relena.

“Ahh!”
she yelled pulling the blade out.

“You think you’re
better than me, but you’re not. I am nobility…” Relena ranted kicking Duo in
the face. “I am some one people can admire. You-you are nothing more than a
street rat – a whore – from L2, a washed out Gundam pilot.”

This time Relena kicked Duo in her bleeding wound. Duo hissed in pain
– something else was wrong, she shouldn’t be hurting this badly. Her body was
enhanced to take this type of pain. Falling back down to the floor Duo saw the gleaming
barrel of her gun.

Unfortunately, Relena saw it too when a flash of lightening illuminated
the house. Both simultaneously jumped for the weapon. Being in a better position,
Relena snatched it up first.

“Not so powerful, now,
on your feet!”

Duo struggled to
stand. She winced as gravity pulled on her wound.

“Say good-bye,” Relena said and pulled the trigger.

Nothing.

Laughing echoed.

Relena tried pulling back on the trigger again.

“I see you still can’t
weld a simple hand gun.” As fast as Duo could she wrestled it away from the
blonde. “Now give me one good fuckin’ reason why I shouldn't shoot your ass?”

“You won’t kill me,”
Relena dared.

“Oh? And why not?”

“Because my death
would bring about another war,” Relena answered smugly.

Seconds later multiple
shots were fired then a body dropped to the floor.

“You dumb bitch. You
think to highly of yourself,” Duo said before collapsing on the ceramic tile
next to her rival.

Blood
pooling around her middle since she could no longer staunch the flow. Long minutes passed before sirens and
flashing red lights brought the residence of the quiet neighborhood from their
homes.

oOo End
flashback oOo

“After that I don’t remember what happened next. I can only
assume that I was brought here,” Duo explained.

Heero saw his wife’s eyes closed.
The story clearly exhausted her. He eased out of bed, not wanting to aggravate
Duo’s injuries, Heero checked on their son. Hayate was still sleeping
peacefully. The little guy didn’t move not once during his mommy’s horrific
tale.

As soon as Heero exited the private room he came
face-to-face with Sally.

“Well?”

“Lady Une and the others are
waiting in my office. I was coming to get you.”

The pair walked in silence back up the corridor. Heero
glance back to his wife’s door.

“Don’t worry, a guard is posted and the nurse in-charge will
make sure Duo and Hayate are fine.”

“Hn.”

The office easily accommodated all eight bodies quite comfortable
with Sally sitting behind her desk. The biggest shock came from the appearance
of the former Oz General: His Excellency, Treize Khushrenada.

Not wasting any time, Sally got straight to the point. The
worrisome look on all their faces was enough to let her know how much Duo meant
to them.

“The DNA and forensics reports shows that Vice-Foreign
Minister Peacecraft deliberately entered the Yuy’s home with the intent of
killing Mrs. Yuy,” Sally began. She paused long enough to pass out the medical
reports. “Relena’s finger prints were all over the house, which included the
fuse box, the back-up generator, the patio, the back door the kitchen, and the
Master bedroom. Everything is right in front of you,” the doctor concluded.

Every one was quickly reviewing the examiner reporters.

“This is an open and shut case. I will inform the Judge and
present him with the evidence,” Une announce rising out of her chair.

“Who will take over?” Quatre asked.

“I will.”

All eyes landed on Treize.

“Relena’s misuse of authority was
starting a new set of problems on Earth. Luckily, it didn’t spread to the
colonies,” came the ariscratic’s response.

One by one the agents left leaving only Sally and Heero.

“What happened in surgery, Sally? You looked to pensive for
it to be a simple patch job.”

She hated being under fire from him. He always made her feel
like a bug under glass.

“The day of the incident, I received Duo’s test results form
last week. Apparently, Duo was two and a half months pregnant.”

Heero showed no type of reaction
to the news.

“Duo miscarried while on the operating table. We did every
thing humanly possible to save the fetus but Duo lost too much blood. I’m
sorry, Heero.”

Cold Cobalt’s remained unchanged as Heero spoke. “You will
not ever mention this to Duo. If you
do, I’ll personally rip out your tongue.”

With that threat hanging in the air, Heero left. Not two
minutes later WuFei walked in to see his wife pale and shaking.

He swiftly went around the desk and gathered her in his arms.

“What did that bastard say to you, Sally?” WuFei demanded
clearly not happy at seeing his wife in such a state.

“Nothing that I didn’t expect the Perfect
Solider to say.”

“Well? How does he feel about being a father again?”

Sally sighed. This was being along day, and went to explain
to her younger husband about Duo’s miscarriage.

oOoOoOo

Several days later the funeral service for the former
Vice-Foreign Minister was held on Earth at the Sanc kingdom’s cathedral. A long precession
of limousines, police cars, and fire trucks followed the slow moving horse
drawn carriage, which held the highly decorative casket.

The streets was paved with pink and white carnations and
roses as mourners continued to place the flowers before the carriage as it passed by.
The day was somber. Dark grey clouds filled the sky. Thunder rumbled in the far
off distance. Rain would fall soon.

Relena was laid to rest in the
Peaceraft family vault. Zechs stood solemnly by the wall looking straight ahead
with his wife and son to his right. WuFei and Sally stood behind them with
Trowa and Quatre and their daughter next to them.

In the middle of the medium size crypt stood Treize holding
Lady Une’s hand with one hand and his other gripping the handle of his
daughter’s wheelchair.

At the threshold was Heero and Duo. Hayate was asleep on his
Father’s shoulder. No love was lost between Relena and Duo, nor was there any
love lost between Heero and the bane of his existence. Relena did every thing
possible to break up his marriage by kidnapping his wife and taking away his
son.

A year of misery and torment was his only companion as he
watched his friends grow in their relationships. He always felt like an
outsider at family gatherings – not really belonging.

At the thought of never seeing his beloved wife and son, Heero was ready to kill himself. However, that one phone
call changed his life when he heard Duo’s sweet voice on the other end.

Although their happiness didn’t last long, it was enough to
create a second opportunity to be parents all over again. Once more happiness
was snatched out of their gasp by the very woman they were burying today. Their
unborn baby died before it an opportunity of being acknowledged.

Heero watched as Duo pulled her
sunglasses down off her forehead and turned out of the stone cold crypt.

“May you find peace…”

The rest of what the priest said was drowned out by the
rustling of dry leaves that Duo kicked, making a path to their SUV, Heero
trailed behind her. Following her release from the hospital both decided that
it would be best to take an extended leave of absence from work to concentrate
on repairing the damage of their relationship (brought on by Relena’s
obsession) and to raise Hayate.

Fortuitously, Heero had hind sight
to purchase a house in the States. He remembered back to when he and Duo first
met; how she would always talk about owning a house some where in the country
if she ever survived the war.

As a wedding anniversary gift, Heero presented Duo with a
three bedroom house located in the back woods of the M.I.S. area – near the
town of Jackson. He had Natalie
make all the arrangements – only packing what they needed and the rest to be
purchased later.

Now, safely back in the hotel, Duo crashed on one of the
full beds as Heero placed Hayate on the other and covered him with a blanket.

Not saying a word, Heero spooned
behind his wife. She shuddered in his arms.

“Is it over?” she asked quietly fingering the cotton
material of the sheets.

“Hai, koi, it’s
over.”

Duo sighed in relief. She was able to breath again without
fearing if Relena was going to try to kill her or her son. Giving into
exhaustion, Duo dosed off to sleep. Heero lay awake pondering their next move.

It would be quite some time before Duo’s body was healed to
conceive again, so for now, he would spend bonding closer to his son and
showing his wife the world through the eyes of a civilian not as a soldier of
war.

oOo owari oOo

A/N: (sniff) How was that? I cried
toward the end. I’m sad that it had to end but I have other fics that are
screaming for my attention. I’m glad that I stuck with this and not chucked it
in the trash like I started to do when I posted the very first chapter.

If any one is wondering, I will not be doing an epilogue
unless stated otherwise in your reviews. I hope that all of you who stayed with
me throughout the entire fic, enjoyed it as much as I did writing it.

Until next time…
