Chapter 3: Damaged

Duo sat in the living room on the couch with a stack of papers in his lap, glasses slipping off his nose, a pen in his mouth and a laptop beside him. He hummed and searched through stapled papers before retrieving the yellow highlighter from behind his ear and highlighting bits and pieces on the paper. He did this for an hour without knowing that two pairs of eyes watched over him from the next room.


In the connecting dinning room, Quatre and Heero sat at the dinning room table with paper work of their own trying to work but not achieving their goals of productivity. They watched Duo work and a smile appeared on both their faces as Duo hummed along to an MP3 that played on his laptop.

\"I missed him,\" said Quatre looking across the table at Heero.

Heero nodded and looked at his cup of cold coffee, \"Should we interrupt him now?\" he asked, slightly smiling.

Quatre paper clipped his work and then stacked them accordingly before placing them in a folder. Heero watched and just shook his head grinning.

\"What? Ohh......like your not anal about anything~!” he seethed jokingly.

At that comment Duo\'s head shot up and he looked in the direction where the off the wall comment had come from.

\"Did someone say Anal?” he queried with a straight face.

Heero balled up a piece of paper and tossed it at Duo, successfully smacking him in the head with it. Duo laughed and shook his head causing his braid to fly back and forth. He looked down at his paperwork and then straightened all the papers before sticking them in a filing folder along with his highlighter and pen. He propped his glasses on top on his head and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He leaned forward awkwardly and placed the folder on the coffee table before leaning back against the back of the couch and stretching.
Heero stood up and walked into the living room and picked up Duo\'s laptop placing it on the coffee table so that he could plop down where the laptop had been beforehand. Duo smiled at Heero and leaned into his shoulder sighing happily.

\"How are you feeling?” asked Heero lifting his arm and bringing Duo into an embrace.

Duo sighed and nuzzled into Heero\'s embrace, \"I haven\'t puked in week which is good.\"

Heero took his freehand and placed it on Duo\'s forehead, \"Still tired all the time?\"

Duo nodded.

\"Well, you do have a slight fever...............\" stated Heero worriedly.

\"It\'s supposed to be normal.....\" said Duo slightly tired.

\"Still having headaches?” asked Quatre as he walked into the living room.

\"Yeah, but Sally says that they\'ll continue on and off,\" said Duo slightly slurred as sleep began to pull him in.

Just as Heero was going to ask another question soft snoring was heard. Quatre and Heero blinked and then chuckled softly.

\"Poor Duo,\" said Quatre picking up Duo\'s laptop and saving the files he had left open before shutting it down.

Quatre stood up and looked over at Heero, \"Would you like me to get you some pillows and blankets so you two can nap?\"

Heero nodded and reached for the remote to the CD player, which sat on the arm of the couch. He grabbed it and then hit the power button turning the volume down, letting soft music drift through the living room. It had always been one of Duo\'s favorite ways to sleep. He loved music.

Quatre returned carrying a bundle, which he set on the love seat. He lifted two soft pillows which he laid at the end of the couch for Heero. Heero smiled and whispered a soft \"Arigato\" as he gently and slowly laid back into the pillows pulling Duo into a comfortable laying position on top of him. Quatre smiled and then unraveled a satin sheet which he then spread on top of the cute pair. He smiled and went to the wall and turned down the lights to a dim glow before making his way to the kitchen. He checked to see what was being served for dinner and then checked the calendar on the refrigerator.

\"Just 5 months,\" he said smiling looking at the month of September.

He was lost in his thoughts when he felt a pair of muscular arms enfold him. He sighed and leaned into the familiar warmth of his lover.

\"Welcome home, Trowa,\" he said happily.

Trowa smiled and leaned into Quatre\'s neck and nibbled playfully, leaving Quatre breathy.

\"Where\'s Wufei?” asked Quatre turning to look into Trowa\'s emerald eyes.

Trowa grinned and kissed Quatre\'s cheek and then captured his lips. He broke the kiss and smiled widely.

\"He went upstairs to shower since Duo and Heero are sleeping so peacefully. He went to visit Sally today who has been restricted to bed rest already.\"

Quatre looked up at Trowa surprised, \"But she\'s only what.....? Seven months?\"

Trowa nodded and let go of Quatre after giving him one more squeeze.

\"She\'s carrying twins and after her last scare Lady Une insisted she take maternity leave. Paid of course and with lots of nice benefits.\"

Trowa headed out of the kitchen and Quatre followed him to the backyard.

\"How is Ms. Noin doing?\"

Trowa sat down on a porch swing, pulling Quatre onto his lap and then wrapped his arms around him protectively.

\"She is doing fine. Her husband dotes on her and they were kinda of relieved and shocked to discover that the baby she\'s carrying is Zech’s.\"

\"ZECHS? Really?\" Asked Quatre excitedly.

Trowa chuckled, \"Yes, she was already pregnant from what they learned and she couldn\'t be impregnated twice but, evidently Dr. Cold did some tests and saw that it was a child bearing genetics that she herself was already impregnating others with and thus made her own discoveries.\"

\"So, Dr. Cold learned that Noin was carrying Zechs\' baby?\" asked Quatre a little confused.

Trowa nodded and rocked the porch swing slowly, \"Noin and Zechs are both happy with the info and Noin is due in a month’s time.\"

They sat there in silence listening to the quietness of the mansion until Quatre finally broke the silence.

\"Trowa, if it were possible........would you.........could I...........Could we.........\"

Trowa squeezed Quatre reassuringly and then placed a kiss on Quatre\'s blond locks.

\"Let\'s see how Duo does and then we\'ll see.\"

*********************** 1 Month Later ********************************


Duo woke up to the sight of an empty bedroom and sighed loudly. It was beginning to be a depressing ritual of waking up and finding no one there. A house that would almost be empty if it wasn\'t for the occasional maid or servant. Quatre had made sure that he wasn\'t left alone in the house and even had been kind enough to contact Rashid and a few of the Maguanacs to come to their home to help care for Duo. It was a kind gesture but at times he just wanted a few moments alone with the guys to discuss things, to discuss what he was going through.

He sat up and stretched before quickly jumping out of bed and doing a little jig to the bathroom. His morning ritual had changed quite a lot since he had become pregnant. A day that used to be filled with missions and paperwork and the company of others was now spent doing paperwork that Lady Une and others emailed him or sent home with the others, which he did and then afterwards would wander around trying to entertain himself.

He stood above the toilet wandering where he stored all this access liquid and hoping that it wouldn\'t get much worse, but he knew for a fact that it did. He was five month\'s now. He was in.......what had Sally called it? The Second Semester? No, the Second Trimester. He was going to have more headaches, more urination problems, back aches and he was going to continue to grow. As it was he could barely fit into his sweat pants and he avoided mirrors like the plague. He decided that today was the day to stop shying away from what he was becoming. Today was the day to embrace his........body? His pregnancy? His predicament? He sighed and shrugged off all negative thoughts. He had read in one of those books that Sally had provided that negativity affected the baby. Duo flushed the toilet and then washed his hands before stripping and stepping into the shower. One of his favorite things about his room was the fact that they had such a large bathroom in it. A bathroom where many fond memories had been made.

Duo turned on the water and decided that he preferred a bath, and was overjoyed to see that Wufei had left the bubble bath and body wash out for him. He poured the orange scented bath oil and bubble bath into the water after pulling the plug up and then lounged back against the slanted back of the large tub. He pulled the band from his ruffled and loosened braid and then separated the strands before dunking his head below the deepening water. He sat back up and then leaned forward, turning off the faucets. He sighed happily as the warm water washed away all his soreness, stress and muscle aches. He lay back again closing his eyes. His hands had wandered down to rest protectively on his stomach, which was beginning to grow more each month and had thus far made a nice round ball form. He rubbed it and opened his eyes looking at himself closer.

\"I wonder what you are. Should I go find out or wait until you decide to make an entrance into this world?\" he asked looking down at his midsection.

\"If you’re a boy what should I name you? What if you’re a girl? I don\'t know how to raise girls........But Hey~~! I\'ll give it the good o\'l Duo Maxwell try~!\"

He sat up and reached for the shampoo bottle squeezing a large amount into his palm, \"You know I have no idea who your daddy is. Although........I don\'t think it matters. I think Hee-chan and Wu-bear will love you no matter what.\"

He lathered up his hair smiling, \"I\'ll ask them for name idea\'s when they get home today. Let\'s just hope it\'s something I can pronounce.\"

He found the detachable shower head and began rinsing the shampoo from his hair. Once all the shampoo was rinsed from his long chestnut locks he reached for the conditioner bottle.

\"I have an appointment this afternoon with Dr. Bennett and I will get to see you again. I wish I could explain to Heero and Wufei what it’s like......I can \'feel\' you. I know your there and that your a little human being and that is such an odd sensation knowing that I am carrying something that\'s alive. That I am carrying a life other than mine.\"

He opened the conditioner and squeezed another massive amount into his palm and began to thoroughly coat his hair.

\"Well, I suppose I\'d better hurry up cause your father\'s will be home soon and they get inpatient when it comes to my doctors appointments.\"

He lifted the detachable shower head and once again rinsed his hair. He pulled the plug down and listened quietly as the water began flowing down the drain. He sat there a little longer relaxing as the water disappeared and then he managed to stand and wring his hair out. As he was doing so he heard the bedroom door open and the familiar voice of Chang Wufei rang out.

\"Duo~! We\'re going to be late! Where are you?\"

Duo chuckled and was about to step out of the shower and grab a towel when the bathroom door opened and Wufei stopped in his tracks to admire what was there to view of Duo.

\"Fei?\"

Wufei looked up into Duo\'s eyes and smiled as he approached him. He lifted him out of the shower and then proceeded to carry him over to their large bed. He laid Duo down gently and allowed his hands to roam over Duo\'s shapely figure. He nuzzled Duo\'s neck nibbling and suckling causing Duo to gasp in pleasure and squirm in ecstasy. His kisses made their way to Duo\'s warm and pouty lips and from there it became a duel of tongues. As the heat of their passion began to rise, the sound of a man clearing his throat could be heard. Wufei broke their kiss and looked back in the doorway where they saw Heero with his arms crossed.

\"You were supposed to help him get ready, not make him later,\" stated Heero with a grin.

Wufei sat up and helped Duo sit up with a large smile, \"So what are we going to see at this appointment?\" he asked.

Duo smiled and was about to stand up when Heero appeared in front of him holding a pile of clothes. He smiled and kissed Heero\'s hands after taking his clothes from them.

\"We\'ll get to see the baby on the monitor again and the usual checkup will occur and if we wanted we could discover the sex of the baby,\" Duo said as he slipped on his boxers and then his socks.

\"Didn\'t you want to wait until the baby\'s born and make it a surprise?\" asked Wufei.

Duo slipped on the loose pair of black khaki\'s that Heero had bought him a week ago and looked at Wufei and then turned to look at Heero, \"If you would like to know the sex of the baby then it\'s fine with me.\"

Wufei stood up so that he stood in front of Duo and beside Heero and looked down into Duo\'s amethyst eyes.

\"We\'ve decided that we will wait,\" he said with a smile.

Duo smiled and slipped on a violet button up dress shirt that Wufei had bought him and then caught both men in a large hug.

\"Let\'s go Koi.\" said Heero as he took Duo\'s hand and lead him out of the room with Duo holding tight to Wufei\'s hand.



At the Preventeer\'s medical center Duo sat in the back room fidgeting nervously and rattling off about anything and everything as he waited for Dr. Bennett. Just when Wufei was going to have a nurse give Duo a sedative, a woman with long brunette hair entered the examination room. She smiled brightly at Duo and then handed him an envelope.

\"What\'s this Doc?” he asked as he opened the envelope pulling out a large stack of photos.

\"Sally asked me to give these to you. Their from the women you rescued,\" said the Doctor as she began readying the equipment.

Duo looked through the pictures smiling brightly and began handing the one\'s he had already seen to Heero and Wufei.

\"Who are these women, Dr. Bennett?” asked Wufei as he looked through the images.

\"Well, their all holding infants correct?\" asked the Doctor.

Heero and Wufei nodded.

\"Well, those are pictures of the women Duo helped rescue from that facility.\"

\"So their all doing well?” asked Duo happily.

\"Yes, the young lady that you carried to the fence, Alicia.......I think was her name, she had a healthy baby boy who she insisted naming after her \'savior,\'\" said Dr. Bennett as she finished readying her equipment.

\"Another Duo.........that\'s scary,\" said Heero and Wufei at the same time.

Duo laughed holding up a picture with a message written on the back and the name \'Duo\' written in cute letters on the front.

\"Well, he\'s cuter than Duo, but I think the name will suit him,\" said Heero leaning down giving Duo a kiss on the forehead.

Dr. Bennett looked Duo over and then patted the examining table, \"lay back Duo.\"

Duo handed Heero the photo\'s he still held and then laid back. He nervously licked his lips as the Doctor lifted his gown and spread some cold jelly along his swollen stomach. She then took what looked like a computer mouse and set it on his stomach. Within two minutes a vivid image of an infant appeared. Heero and Wufei studied the image with serious faces as the doctor looked over the image and jotted notes onto a notepad.

She then looked over at Duo and smiled, \"See your baby?\"

He nodded mutely and listened as she pointed out the arms and legs, fingers and toes and then the head and bottom. She cleaned off Duo\'s stomach and then placed another piece of equipment on there and after adjusting some knobs and buttons the steady rhythm of a heart beat filled the room. Duo lifted his hand and grabbed the nearest hand, which just happened to be Heero\'s and squeezed it. Once again the Doctor jotted some notes and then put away her equipment. She took Duo\'s pulse, blood pressure, temperature and then got his weight. She jotted it all down and then looked it over while Duo left to change out of the standard hospital gown and back into his clothes. Heero and Wufei were looking over some printed photos of the baby when Duo rushed out of the bathroom and glanced at the doctor looking panicked.

\"What\'s wrong Duo?\" she asked walking over to him.

\"I think something\'s wrong, there\'s this weird feeling here,\" he said pointing to the right side of his stomach, \"and it moved over here,\" he said moving his finger to the middle of his midsection.

Dr. Bennett placed her hands on his midsection and waited and then she felt a small movement. She smiled and then took Duo\'s hand and placed it where hers had been.

\"That\'s your baby Duo. It\'s OK, the baby\'s just moving around and it’s grown enough that now you can feel it.\"

Duo left his hand in the spot where Dr. Bennett had placed it and he took a deep breath. He smiled a little and blushed some.

\"Well, now I feel like an idiot,\" he said with a smile.

Dr. Bennett laughed and patted him on the shoulder, \"It\'s OK Duo. Women also react that way during their first pregnancy.\"

\"Thanks Doc~!\" he said smiling and blushing.

\"Just so you know, the movements will increase and soon you\'ll feel the baby kick,\" said the Doctor as she took out a pen and handed it to Duo with a schedule, \"pick a date for next month and then we will set up an appointment.\"


After jotting down an appointment the boys escorted Duo out of the building and to the car when Wufei\'s cell phone rang. Heero opened the front passenger side door for Duo and helped him ease his way in there while Wufei answered his cell phone. Wufei leaned against the drivers’ side door and listened quietly. Heero shut Duo\'s door and then scooted his way into the back-seat and tapped on the glass, catching Wufei\'s attention. Wufei nodded and spoke a few muffled words as he opened the drivers’ side door and got in, hanging up his cell and slipping it back into his tight black jeans. Duo buckled up and then turned to look at Wufei.

\"What\'s up Fei?\" he asked with a worried expression.

Wufei looked over at Duo and patted him shoulder with his right hand, \"I\'m going to head over to the Allegiance Memorial Hospital, and would you like me to drop you off at the house first?\"

Duo looked confused and then extremely worried, \"What happened Fei? Did someone get hurt?\"

\"Who was on the phone?” asked Heero stoically.

\"Noin. She said that Sally has gone into labor,\" said Wufei as he buckled his seat belt.

\"Well, Damn you~! Take us there! What are you waiting for?\" demanded Duo smiling brightly.

Wufei smiled and then pulled out of the parking garage and headed towards the hospital.
