Another Devil

Chapter 6: Gravity


Duo shifted uncomfortably on the couch for the eighth time in less than a ten minute period. He was covered with two blankets and propped up by four pillows, not to mention the three keeping his feet level with his hips. His feet looked like pillows in their own right. They were reddish violet with veins popping out here and there and they hurt. He had to stay off them, that\'s what Sally, Dr. Bennett and all the women he knew had said; no, demanded from him. He wasn\'t really on bed rest but everyone wanted him to play it safe. He sighed and fidgeted and wiggled until he was in a sitting position. He felt the rough movement from under his skin as his child decided to once again position him or herself in a new position. It seemed as though they were both tired of this predicament. He turned the television off and struggled to stand. Once standing he made his way to the bathroom. He was beginning to become quite acquainted with bathrooms in various places. He had pretty much stopped complaining about having to sit on the john to urinate. He felt odd doing it. It didn\'t feel manly. But as Hilde had pointed out so blatantly, how many men were pregnant? Was being pregnant manly? The one comment had started one of the longest running debates in their click.

Would men suffer through pregnancy if they had the choice, most likely not? Hell, he debated about whether he wanted o help Trowa and Quatre with their idea to impregnate Quatre. Poor small Quatre pregger’s somehow seemed appropriate but he could hardly imagine the tiny blonde suffering through morning sickness, headaches, hormone induced rants and emotional storms. Not to mention the awkwardness of carrying ten pounds of water and fat in front of you.

He shrugged his thoughts off as he left the bathroom and made his way through the house. It was unusually quiet. Quatre and Heero were busy working on the room across from his, making it into a nursery. He wanted to help but he wasn\'t allowed near paint fumes. The whole pregnancy thing was wearing thin on his patience. Wufei was shopping with Trowa. Talk about an odd couple. It was October and it wasn\'t October without pumpkins, candy and decorations. Trowa and Wufei were picking up those things along with the normal groceries. Duo had passed the bedroom with its door shut to keep the paint fumes from contaminating the house and made his way to his bedroom. He managed to have everything tidied up an hour later when Heero entered and scanned the room.

“There you are.”

Duo smiled, “Yuppers! Just cleaning a little.”

Heero smiled and walked across the room planting a big kiss on Duo’s lips. Duo grinned and wrapped his arms awkwardly around his paint speckled lover. As they hugged Duo was surprised to see Heero flinch and then look down at Duo’s stomach. Heero lifted a hand and placed it on the spot he had been close to during their hug. Duo grinned and winced as another powerful kick hit the spot where Heero’s hand hovered. Heero grinned and was surprised when Duo lifted his shirt and placed his hand in the middle of his large rounded stomach and pressed hard.

“Can you feel that ball-like shape?” asked Duo.

“Hai….”

“That’s the babies head.”

Duo then moved Heero’s hand along his stomach, stopping in the upper left of growing bulge.

“This is where the baby is reclining at the moment. Kinda like a “C” on its side.”

Heero’s features made Duo chuckle. Heero had a look that was a mixture or wonderment, surprise and curiosity. Just then Quatre entered.

“Is the baby kicking?!,” he called out excitedly.

“Yeah. At the moment it’s trying to do trapeze tricks,” said Duo as he felt another kick. “Come feel Q-bean!”

Quatre wandered over and Heero removed his hand and just watched the ripples of movement on the surface of Duo’s stomach as Duo’s unborn child moved restlessly. He watched as Quatre placed his hand where Duo showed him and chuckled at Quatre’s gasps of surprise. When Quatre removed his hand he hugged Duo tightly.

“You\'re going to have one healthy baby, Duo.”

“Just two more months,” said Duo as he plopped down into his bed.

“Well, the babies room is done and we have most of the supplies we need, we just need the baby whenever your both ready.” Quatre said with a smile and a wink.

Duo smiled and tried stretching his back muscles. Heero watched and was about to comment when Wufei walked into the room.

“There you all are! We finished the grocery shopping. Trowa’s putting away the groceries now. He needs some help.”

Heero walked to the door and gave Wufei a tender kiss, “I’ll go help. Duo needs one of your famous back rubs.”

Wufei smiled as Heero left the room with Quatre in tow. Wufei walked over to the bed and sat down gingerly. He leaned over and kissed Duo warmly on the lips before crawling behind him and kneeling. He removed Duo’s shirt and then began to tenderly kneed and massage tensed and sore muscles along Duo’s back, arms, and neck. He worked his way down along Duo’s spine and then gently eased Duo into a laying position on his side. He tenderly massaged Duo’s legs and back and made his way to Duo’s swollen feet and ankles. He massaged and kneaded the tender flesh there until he noted the sighs of pleasure stopped. He looked up and watched as Duo yawned.

“Take a nap, Fei?”

Wufei nodded and laid next to Duo, letting his lover pull him into a soft embrace. Soon a soft snoring filled the room and Wufei suppressed a laugh. His quiet lover laid in his arms in a peaceful slumber. Probably the most peaceful slumber he\'s had in the last month or so. Duo seemed worried about his safety and never slept if he were left alone in the house which none of us did and if no one were in bed with him and he slept he would have nightmares, tossing and turning and crying in his sleep. When had his fear gotten so bad? He snuggled into Duo and closed his eyes getting lost in the soft blankets and warmth of his lover.

\"What do you think?\" Asked Quatre as he presented his finished jack-o\'-lantern.

Trowa chuckled at the toothless smile and nodded, \"It looks very cute.\"

\"I was going for evil or scary,\" he said pouting.

Heero set his knife down and looked his pumpkin over before grinning and nodding. He set his next to Trowa\'s and Quatre\'s jack-o\'-lanterns and grinned even wider. Somehow Trowa had carved a lion into his pumpkin and next to his sat Quatre\'s bright smiling jack-o\'-lantern. His was by far the fiercest looking with its evil slanted glare and sharp vampire like teeth and an eerie red candle glowing inside. Trowa smiled when he saw Heero\'s look of triumph and continued working on dinner.

Only two hours had gone by when Duo and Wufei sluggishly joined them at the diner table. The sky was darkening to lavender shades of blue and the stars were appearing like lightening bugs in the sky. Children in their neighborhood were getting dressed in costumes and gathering in groups to go door to door bumming candy. They enjoyed a semi quiet dinner with an occasional door bell ring and excited yells of \"Trick or Treat.\" Duo had finished his dinner and was already out of his seat when the door bell rang again. He grinned and almost bound to the door, his condition hindering him slightly.

\"The candy dish is on the stand by the door!” shouted Quatre smiling at Duo\'s bouncing braid.

Wufei followed slowly behind Duo just to watch that grin cross Duo\'s face as he opened the door revealing a group containing a small princess in a pink lacy dress, a vampire no older than eight with fake blood dripping from his plastic fangs, a clown with a curly rainbow wig and a red painted smile and to their surprise a gundam made of cardboard boxes. Shrill calls of \"Trick or Treat\" rang out and Duo answered back with \"Smell my feet give me something good to eat.\"

The children laughed and held open their bags in anticipation of the candy that soon would fill them. Duo didn\'t disappoint them as he grabbed a large handful of candy and dropped two to three pieces in each bag, sneaking two extra pieces into the gundam\'s bag. Duo left the door open as two more groups approached and Wufei grinned taking his leave. It felt wrong to interfere on one of Duo\'s favorite moments. The American had always loved this holiday and talked about his memories of it on L2 when he ran the streets with his buddies. He said it had been one of the few nights where they could go door to door begging for food without getting yelled at or having things thrown at them along with curses and threats.

Wufei joined the others at the table and with the constant bugging he finally decided to start carving his pumpkin while Heero and Trowa cleaned up the leftovers from dinner.

Duo stood at the door when the last group left their yard and smiled brightly as he watched parents shuffle their children from one door to the next increasing their child\'s sweet bounty. He looked across the street and saw clowns and cartoon characters chatting next to a house and under a tree he saw a person. He blinked a few times taking a closer look, making sure whether it was a person or some dummy set up as decoration to help scare the children. He saw it move and that helped solve his questions. It had to be a person. Why hide behind a tree? He watched as the person moved into the light and saw that they were wearing no costume. It was a woman and she wore what looked like a doctor’s coat. It was a white lab coat to more specific. She seemed to be starring in his direction. She looked familiar. Where had he seen that face before?

Suddenly images flashed through his mind. He saw deep black hair and long red finger nails. He saw that bright red lipstick and remembered those red heels. He looked out across the yard and saw her starring directly at him, smiling as she stood beside the tree.

He backed up and into the stand near the door causing the candy bowl to fall to the floor with a clatter. He stepped on the candy as he slammed the door shut and turned running into the kitchen. He nearly knocked over Wufei who dropped his pumpkin on the hard wood floor. The pumpkin fell with a crack and splatter. Pieces of pumpkin covered the floor where Duo Wufei stood looking at the fallen pumpkin. Wufei looked up into Duo\'s startled sheet white face. Duo was breathing heavily and shaking so bad that his teeth chattered. He looked around the room before taking off full speed towards his room. Wufei blinked and looked down at his pumpkin and then jumping over it he took off after Duo.

Quatre peered around the corner of the kitchen doorway looking down at the mess, \"What in the world happened?\"

Duo entered his room and headed straight for his dresser. He took out a browning HP and clicked opened the chamber. Seeing it was fully loaded he passed Wufei and headed towards the front door. Wufei got a glimpse of the gun and ran ahead of Duo. He blocked the front door and held his hands out in front of him.

\"What are you going to do with that, Duo?\"

\"SHE\'S OUT THERE! I\'M GOING TO KILL THE BITCH!\"

By this time Quatre and Heero had ran to the front door.

\"Who, Duo?” asked Wufei looked angry and confused.

\"Dr. Cold! She\'s alive!\"

\"Where did you see her?” asked Heero.

\"She was standing next to a tree across the street in the neighbor’s yard.\"

Trowa came towards the group with cell phone in hand, \"Our neighbor Jean is on the phone. She said she saw some strange woman on her lawn and the lady was asking questions about Duo.\"

\"What did she look like?” asked Heero.

\"Dark black hair, bright red lips and she was dressed like a doctor except she wore bright red pumps,\" said Trowa.

\"THAT\'S HER!\" yelled Duo.

Wufei moved away from the door and touched Duo\'s gently. He took Duo\'s hands in his own and slowly removed the gun from Duo\'s right hand. He then clicked on the safety and slipped the gun into his pocket. He hugged Duo and pulled away, opening the door.

\"Who would like to come with?\"

Heero nodded and walked over to Duo pulling him into his arms. He pressed his lips to Duo\'s and then followed Wufei out the door. Duo felt someone touch his shoulders and jumped. He then felt those arms wrap around him and knew that it was Quatre. The smell of oranges and tea. That was Quatre\'s smell. Quatre lead him into the living room and over to the couch. Trowa watched as Quatre sat down on the couch, pulling Duo down onto the couch into a laying position that allowed Duo\'s head to rest in the Arab\'s lap. Quatre gently rocked and petted Duo comfortingly until Duo\'s shivering had stopped. Soon Duo was once again lulled into a light sleep. Trowa took the phone and made calls to Preventeer headquarters.

He talked with Lady Une and by time he had finished his report he had less information then he had started with. It seemed that everyone was wondering why the evil doctor was still alive and how she had found Duo\'s residence so easily.

\"So what did Une say?\" asked Quatre looking up from Duo\'s sleeping face.

\"She said that rumors said she was still alive and that they have had informants feeding them info and whereabouts. It seems that she might have had a clone as well if not a close relative. It also looks as though her experiments are coming forward. They have a few in custody. She said we can come take a look ourselves. She suggested waiting until Duo is not in such a \"delicate\" condition. It must be something big.\"

The sound of the front door opening and closing interrupted their conversation momentarily as Heero and Wufei entered the living room.

\"Find anything?” asked Trowa.

\"Foot prints. They were at least size 7 1/2 women\'s pumps and with Duo\'s description and the weight that it took to sink the heel of the pump into the ground, I\'m guessing he was right. It seems the woman was at least 130 and around 5\'6,\" said Heero.

\"I talked with Ms. Jean and she said that she only told the woman how nice Duo was and how he always helped her with tasks. She said the woman was very interested in the Duo\'s health and extremely curious about how his pregnancy was going,\" said Wufei frowning.

Trowa frowned and sat down in an arm chair, \"It seems as though we\'ve been duped.\" He then explained what Lady Une had told him in full detail.

\"I think the best thing to do is to move Duo to a safer place for a few months,\" said Quatre.

\"Where?\" asked Trowa.

They all sat quietly for a moment.

\"How about we all call our sources and compile a few choice places and then let Duo decide?” asked Quatre.

\"That sounds like a plan. You can get in touch with the mauguanacs and check what real-estate is available through WEI, Heero can contact Relena, I\'ll contact Sally and Zechs and Trowa can contact the circus\" said Wufei grinning.

They were getting some where.
