1x2 Baby Blues

Chapter 21


Heero was sitting out on the back porch the next morning holding Xanatos in his left arm and trying to get the baby to suck from the nipple of the bottle. He was sitting in a comfortable wooden glider with a soft dark blue pillow on the seat. Xanatos was crying at the moment though he wasn’t use to such a nipple nor use to someone else nursing him. Even if he knew who his daddy was, he was use to Duo’s sent and breasts so Heero would try and rub the nipple over his gums but Xanatos would turn his head away. Heero was dressed in his black spandex and green tank top but was bear foot.

Xanatos was crying madly his eyes were shut tight and his fists were clinched, Heero rocked the chair back and forth he was determined to feed Xanatos his bottle.

Duo was in the kitchen with Quatre he was watching Heero from the window that was over the sink. He had been peeling potatoes, he was going to make fried potatoes to go along with their breakfast. “Damn Xanatos is a big mouth isn’t he?” Duo wondered to his blonde friend who just flipped the pancakes on the stove. Duo was dressed in his black pj pants and a black sports bra and a lose fitting black tank top. Quatre wore light brown shorts and a light blue button up shirt he looked really cute.

The dogs were all happily eating there breakfast on the floor there bowls were lined up against the wall. “Hmm I think that is a trait he gets from you,” Trowa replied he was sitting at the kitchen counter reading a book. He was dressed in light blue jeans and a short sleeve dark green shirt.

“Yeah I’ll have to agree with you on that one Trowa,” Duo said and went on peeling the potato skin into the sink. All three of the boys chuckled, Duo felt bad though leaving Xanatos out there cry wondering why he wasn’t having his mommy feeding him. Duo had pumped his milk into three bottles and put them in the fridge so he wouldn’t have to worry about it but still. He kind of missed it he looked out the window and gave a little smile as Heero finally got Xanatos to take the bottle. Well for just a moment then Xanatos let the bottle go and he started to scream again.

“Duo don’t worry about it,” Quatre spoke up and put a hand between his shoulder blades. Duo jumped and dropped the potato and peeler into the sink.

“Damn Quatre your taking my job of sneaking in and taking em by surprise,” Duo said putting his hand on his beating chest. “I know you’re right though,” Duo gave a hearty sigh. “It is still hard though,” he said picking the potato up and started to peal it tell it was finally skinned it was his last one he then walked over to the cutting board next to the stove. Where he had four large potatoes he was going to be cutting into cubes. Duo picked up the knife and started to cut the potatoes up.

Quatre chuckled again, “Sorry Duo but it will be alright Xanatos won’t hold it against you I promise.” Quatre gave Duo a warm smile then walked over to the griddle and picked up the specula and slid it under the pancakes and put them on a plate then he got the sausages out of the skillet he put them on a plate. Duo then scrapped the chopped up potatoes into the same skillet once it was free of meat he then put his own special spices and seasonings on them.

“Yeah well he sounds pretty mad right now,” Duo muttered and began stirring the potatoes so they wouldn’t stick to the pan. He had been extra hungry this pregnancy it seemed. The morning sickness only lasted a week though to Duo’s relief. At the moment all the food really made his stomach growl out loud. “Damn we are hungry today aren’t we baby,” Duo said and rubbed his baby bump.

“Besides you have another one on the way so you’ll be feeding that one as well so you won’t miss it too much.” Quatre pointed out and hugged Duo on his side and ran his hand over the baby as well.

Duo looked at Quatre’s hand then looked up at him, “Yeah I know and don’t get me wrong I won’t really miss these breasts when they’re gone they get in the way and they hurt so much. I guess I just love the contact and bonding that goes along with breast feeding that is all even as weird as it sounds coming from a guy. It is still special no matter what kind of mommy you are I say!” He said putting his free hand on his hip as he kept stirring the potatoes they were smelling really good now Duo noted.

“Of course Duo,” Quatre said and kissed him on the cheek then picked up the pancake plate and sausage plate he carried them over to the table. Ace had finished his meal and had fallowed after the sausage plate he barked up at Quatre happily. Ace had always been more of the trouble maker of the pups. “No Ace you know I don’t give out hand outs!” Quatre said though sounding a tad bit guilty.

Duo smirked when he heard the hint of guilt in his voice, “Ah give em some sausage just as long as the rest get some too.” Duo said and turned from the stove holding his stirring spoon in his right hand. “Just don’t give it to him from the table so they don’t beg at the table just give it to them in their bowls.” Duo suggested he walked over to Ace he patted him on his head. Aries was laying under the table. “Bowl Ace Bowl Aries,” The two germen shepherd pups did as Duo told them and went to their bowls. Quatre then put the links on a napkin he walked over to the dog dishes he bent down and put the meat in each of the dog’s bowls they all came over and munched down happily. Quatre then threw the napkin away and washed his hands.

Duo went back to the potatoes they were cooked now he turned off the stove and he scrapped them off into a bowl he set the skillet down. Than picked the bowl up and set it on the table.

“I am just going to see how ol Heero boy is doing…” Duo couldn’t help himself he had to go check on Xanatos.

Duo walked to the back door and opened it he stepped out onto the porch he closed the door. Xanatos was still crying Heero was still trying to get him to take the bottle. “Come on Xanatos why won’t you drink it,” Duo faintly heard Heero say over the screaming of their son.

Duo walked out onto the porch and into Heero’s line of vision, “Want me to…” Duo began. Heero looked up at Duo with an unmistakable very clear glare that told him to back off. Duo held his hands up. “Alright, alright I’ll leave you alone,” Duo said then put his hands laced behind his head and walked back inside.

Xanatos had stopped crying at the sound of his mother’s voice while Heero wasn’t looking. Xanatos was now suckling on the bottle happily. Heero shook his head wow he thought thats all it took. Now he knew how Duo felt those times when he couldn’t get him to stop crying and then right when Xanatos was in his arms. He’d just stop crying Xanatos was a very stubborn baby. That came from having two very stubborn parents who were very strong willed. Heero wasn’t going to be out done by his own son that was for sure. “There is that better now sweet heart doesn’t taste to bad its s mommy’s milk only I get to feed you to.” Heero’s ears were ringing though from the crying.

Duo walked back into the kitchen, Quatre and Trowa had started eating as Duo entered the four dogs happily ran out the door wagging their tails. Duo shut the door behind them “Well Heero has it all under control.” Duo spoke as if someone had asked him how it was going. He walked over and pulled his seat out and sat down. “Everything is A ok,” he said with a chuckle he reached over and helped himself to a stack of three pancakes five sausage links and a large spoon full of potatoes.

“Well that is good to know it sounds like Xanatos finally got done crying,” Trowa spoke up to Duo after he swallowed some pancake.

“Yeah that is cause my baby knows my voice,” Duo had taken a big bite of pancake and sausage it was balled into his cheek as he spoke. He swallowed the food in his mouth, he scooped up some potato and put that into his mouth then drank the orange juice in front of him. Then he picked up his vitamins that Quatre had set next to his cup for him and he downed the juice with the pills.

“Yeah probably that is so sweet to think about,” Quatre said smiling a bit as he drank his tea then set the cup down. He picked his fork up and ate the rest of his pancake he had on his plate.

Heero came into the kitchen with Xanatos snoozing in his arms Heero didn’t show any sign of being weary. From his first epic struggle to give the baby a bottle, he walked to the swinging basket in the corner of the kitchen and laid the baby down. Then he walked up behind Duo and massaged his shoulders then bent down and kissed him on his cheek. Then walked around to sit next to Duo on his left since Quatre was on his right. Heero helped himself to a pancake and five sausage links with a nice helping of Duo’s potatoes he liked how he seasoned them.

“Aw how cute you got the darling to burp feed and sleep,” Duo said feeling a strange funny warm feeling in his heart. “I am glad for you Heero, so I suppose you’ll do the same for lunch and Dinner then?” Duo wondered to Heero as he watched his husband eat.

“No I don’t think we should traumatize him you can feed him for lunch and dinner then when he wakes up in the night I’ll give him his first bottle.” Heero said after he finished his first bit of food he washed it down with some orange juice.

“Alright,” Duo nodded yesterday Duo had fed Xanatos from his breasts then Heero tried to give him his bottle at lunch and dinner. Xanatos had the same fit so Heero decided breakfast and first waking in the early morning would be the best times to start Xanatos on the bottle Duo of course agreed.
