Chapter 8

�� Begin,� Lady Une said simply over
the com link. From what seemed out of nowhere hundreds of mobile suits and
support craft revealed themselves and started to defend the freedoms they once
took for granted. She started join in when a face came up on her console.

�� Well played, cousin,� Hein replied.
�What uncle said about you and the pilots was true. You managed to put me in
quite a predicament.�

�� You will not win this,� Lady Une
commented as she pushed her glasses upward. But they slid forward again from
her perspiration. She was becoming feverish from her wound.

�� Hein noticed the blood stain on her
hand and smiled. �Dear, cousin, you have been hurt. You�ll never be able to
fight in your condition.�

�� I�ll be fine,� she spat. A few
mobile dolls surrounded her and she started to fend them off. She punched one
in the central processing unit located in the chest and slashed at another.
With in a few moments, she decimated the units that were around her. �He�s trying to separate me from the others,�
she mentally noted as she noticed that her fight had taken her quite a
distance from everybody else. She saw the others fighting furiously at the
mobile dolls and space craft. Niko and Sally had the Earth and colony forces
concentrating on the asteroid�s guns itself.

Though they seemed to be making a lot of head away
there was something that bothered her. Hein was quite calm for someone who
seemed to be not gaining any ground. That was when she saw it. A portion of the
asteroid slid down and a large hyper-cannon was revealed. Her eyes widened she
hadn�t prepared for that. �How does it feel to be out classed?� he asked as the
cannon powered up and fired.

�Look out,� she said over the com link. All of the
pilots dodged the shot easily enough, but it took out over half of the fleet
that they brought together.

�Bastard,� Duo muttered disgustedly as he continued
to fight.

Quatre started scanning the cannon with his computer.
A smile slid across his face as he realized a course of action.

�You know I had planned for poetic justice to be
served to you with my gundams,� Hein commented arrogantly. �It took a lot of
time developing them to be as good as the original. I even had a built in a
system to protect them in case you did get a hold of them. I�m not quite sure
how you got passed it, but no matter my little toy will just have to do the
job.�

�You must have worked the bugs out of it,� Lady Une
replied as she got the results of her scan. She wiped her head and forced
herself to concentrate. She was going into shock.

�But of course,� he answered as he chuckled. �Good-bye
now, cousin. You and you friends have been a nuisance long enough.� He ended
the communication

�Yeah right,� she replied as she opened a channel.
�Even though the cannon can be fired multiple times it has to have ten second
delay. That is when we strike.�

�We�ll try and draw his fire, Colonel,� Niko
answered back.

�Be safe,� she said as she looked toward the other
pilots. They were all ready.

The remainder of the fleet charged at the asteroid
and they powered the cannon. A few ships were hit, but most of them dodged the
beam of the cannon and continued to press on further. �Distract them, I�m going
in,� Une replied as she darted away from the group.

�I�m going with you,� Heero remarked as the others
went off in another direction.

�What are they doing?� Hein asked he watched his
enemy press even further. �They should be giving up with nothing left to them.
They are willing throw away their lives.� He shook his head as he watched the
pilots and their support still approaching and fighting their way through
mobile dolls. He was about to give the order to fire the cannon again when he
was thrown forward.

�Sir the hull has been breached near the
hyper-cannon and level two,� an underling commented.

Hein looked at the screen and saw two of the gundams
were not fighting with the mobile dolls. �Give me a visual of the
hyper-cannon.�

The moment the image appeared on the screen he heard
and felt an explosion. �Touch�,� he remarked. �Code 11.�

The young soldier�s eyes widened and opened a panel.
He pushed the button and looked at his superior respectfully. �Code 11,� he
announced. �I repeat code 11.�

Lady Une moved through the asteroid looking for
Hein. Her vision blurred as she moved through the cramp spaces. She saw several
soldiers running in the opposite directions and the lights blinking. �Self destruct device.�

�Victoria,
we have to get out,� Heero called as he came up behind her. She followed after
him as they went back the way she came in. As they exited the asteroid, it
started to shake. �We�re not going to
make it,� she thought as they hauled ass out of there. They were about two
kilometers away when the asteroid began to glow and blew apart. She could feel
the force of the explosion push her forward and she nearly slammed into another
nearby asteroid then everything quieted.

�I�m sorry,� she said over the com link as they
drifted in space for what seemed like eternity.

�I feel the same,� he replied as he saw a large ship
open up its cargo bay.

�Are you coming in or not?� Duo asked impatiently as
his imaged popped in on Heero�s vid window.

Neither of them answered as they entered the cargo
bay and it shut behind them. Heero opened the hatch of the cockpit and floated
out. �We kicked ass,� Duo said cheerfully as he and the others met him at the
bottom smiling in victory.

Something did not feel right. He saw that Victoria hadn�t come out
of the cockpit yet. His mind went back to asteroid and her �cramp.� He had been
so busy he hadn�t really paid attention. He floated to the cockpit of the suit
for what seemed like forever. He released the hatch from the outside. �No,� he
whispered as he saw her slumped over and bleeding. �I need a medic,� he called.
He checked her over and saw she was still breathing but her breaths were
getting weaker and weaker. �I�m not letting you go, Victoria,� he said as he cradled her. �I
refuse to let you leave me.�

Her eyes fluttered open for a brief moment but not
focusing on anything in particular. �Heero,� she whispered.

�I�m right here, Angel,� he replied as he saw the
medics come. He jumped down and they floated to the bottom.

�I�� her sentence trailed as she passed out again.
He laid her on the stretcher and the medics started for the infirmary.

One of the soldiers tried to hold him back when he
followed after him. He struggled against him. �I need to get to her,� Heero
said as he moved against him. The rest of the pilots were about to interfere
when Niko looked at the soldier and nodded to let him go. Heero looked at Niko
and saw the same look in his eyes that he had when he looked at Victoria and understood.

�Is she alright?� Heero asked as a woman in blue
scrubs as she walked over to the group. The others looked up hoping for good
news.

�She�s out of surgery,� the doctor replied. �We were
worried that the fetus might be in danger when we first operated but like the
mother, it�s a fighter.�

�Fetus?� Heero asked incredulous. He stared at the
doctor with his usual stoic expression, not giving away his surprise, anger or
confusion. �How far along is she?�

The doctor looked at the chart. �Approximately four
weeks,� she answered. She looked up to see if anyone had any questions.
Everyone merely looked in shock. �Is there something wrong?�

Duo shook his head. �We�re just a little shocked.�

�Oh are you the father?� she asked as she started to
smile.

�Who me?� Duo asked incredulously. �No way! Heero
would kill me. The guy you�re looking for is�� He was about to point to Heero
when he noticed that he was gone. �Never mind.�

�Well there is not doubt where he is,� Wufei
commented as the whole idea of Lady Une and Heero procreating started to sink
in. �Is there nothing sacred?�

�Lady Une�s the girlfriend that Heero went to go
see?� Noin asked as she chuckled. That love connection is not something she
would have expected.

�Nothing surprises me with you guys anymore,� Zechs
replied as they all sat down to wait for Heero.

�Victoria?�

�Heero?� she asked as she came to. She started to
sit up.

�You need rest,� he said uncompromisingly. He pushed
her down gingerly and sat beside her. �I�d hate for your cramp to get worse.�

She looked at him and narrowed her eyes. �It�ll
pass,� she retorted. She looked up at the ceiling. She needed to get out of
there. She hated hospitals. Her wound must have been more serious than a graze
if she wasn�t in the infirmary. She also needed to gather her thoughts so that
she could tell Heero truth and there was no way she could do it effectively
there.

Heero looked at her curiously to see what she was
going to do. �Don�t even think about escaping. You have to be here for at least
another day.�

�You know me too well,� she sighed almost
humorously. She looked into his eyes and saw relief in them. The two of them
had been put through a lot the past six months and it wouldn�t be long before
she could not hide the truth from him. She sat up slightly and looked at him.
�I have something to tell you.�

�And that is?�

She took a deep breath. This was the hardest thing
she ever had to do. She had been in the front line at press conferences and
given orders during battles and now she had to tell the man she loved she was
carrying his baby. Not only carrying his baby, but she had known she was doing
so since she became conscious a week ago and still piloted the gundam. �I�m
pregnant.�

�Yeah.�

She narrowed her eyes. �Did you not hear what I
said?�

He looked at her coldly. �You�re pregnant,� he
answered. �And.�

�Don�t you care?� she asked indignantly

�Nothing I can do about it now.�

�I can�t believe you,� she replied angrily and
looked away.

�Now you know how I felt when the doctor told me,�
he said gently as he placed a hand on her shoulder. He turned her face toward
him and brushed his lips across hers. �Marry me.�

�No,� she answered.

�Yes,� he replied as he kissed her deeply. He began
to kiss the side of her neck lightly.

She pulled away and winced as she saw her resolve
starting to melt. She moved too fast and caused her side to ache. �I think we need
some time.� She didn�t want to hurt him but she couldn�t accept his proposal
when she knew he did it out of obligation.

�Fine.� Heero�s eyes became frosty in order to hide
his hurt. He nodded then sat down beside her.

�I need to be alone,� she said lowly.

Heero nodded and left reluctantly. �I�ll be
outside.�
