Morning, Wednesday November 23^{rd -}AC 197

“Too bad Quat and Tro couldn’t stay for Thanksgiving” Duo said softly as he rocked Xiiro who was clean, warm and enjoying her bottled breakfast.
Sprawled on the sofa Hilde smiled, “can you imagine what Thanksgiving at their house is like?” A faint flash of horror graced Duo’s face and Hilde grinned.
“On second thought, another quiet meal sounds perfect right now, all those people! Gods, Tro probably lets the lions eat at the table” Duo replied and Hilde laughed out right as she rolled to sit up, moving around the sofa she stopped at the rocking chair where Duo sat and kissed the top of his head. He smiled and watched her poke around the kitchen; she moved stiffly her body still tired and sore as she filled the kettle for tea.
“Are you sure you don’t mind that we won’t have a turkey this year?” This was the fourth time she had asked since Quatre and Trowa had left the night before.
“I do have turkey” Duo replied setting the bottle aside and moving the baby so he could burp her.
“That frozen dinner thing doesn’t count” Hilde replied exasperated.
“I told you last night that I really don’t mind. If I did I would have ordered a turkey dinner from the deli or bought a frozen one.” Just then Xiiro let out a loud burp and Duo chuckled, moving the tiny girl to his lap so he could wipe her mouth.
Hilde’s smile was melancholy as she watched father and daughter. Duo seemed happy, he smiled for Xiiro and spoke to her sweetly despite how tired he looked or how often the baby soiled him or how little sleep he got he seemed to have an endless supply of patience, but only when he was with her. He spent large amounts of time in the bathroom, no water running; making no sound at all, but always available if Hilde knocked and asked for help. He never left the apartment unless they needed something, and even then he was only gone for the bare minimum amount of time needed to complete his task.
She was beginning to worry that Duo was taking his promise too seriously.
“Duo, hun I need to talk to you about something very important” she said quietly. He looked up and their eyes met. Cuddling Xiiro to his chest he gave Hilde his full attention. “After Christmas I want you to move back to your own place.”
He looked shocked as he opened his mouth to speak but she raised a hand to hold off his words, she hurried to continue.
“Please don’t think that I’m kicking you out or that I don’t want you here, I do want you here but I think I’m becoming too dependent on you. I need to start learning to fully take care of things for myself. After all we agreed that Xiiro would live here with me and you would go home and search for Heero.” Duo nodded cuddling his daughter a little closer, an action that didn’t escape Hilde’s gaze and she sighed again. “We both know that no matter how much love you give her or how much time you devote to us, we’re never going to replace Heero in your heart.”
“There’s enough room for all of you” he replied defensively and Hilde countered,
“I know, but the space Heero left is too big for us to fill. You need to find him and fill that space up before it gets so big that it consumes you.”
“What if I when I find him he doesn’t want me or anything to do with me?”
“Then at least you can talk to him, apologize and maybe become friends again. Fill that place with the happiness of knowing that he is alive and well.”
“What if I don’t find him?”
“You won’t find him if you don’t look, and if, Gods forbid you never find him then it won’t be from lack of trying.” Stepping back Hilde held out her arms and Duo passed the sleeping child to her mother who then carried her to the bassinet that sat near the sofa.
Duo sighed, stood and stretched, his back popping loudly. “I’m going to be late if I don’t shift my ass.” He said handing Hilde the burp blanket that had been lying over his shoulder. “I should be back in a few hours.”
“Okay, I’m going to try to take a nap,” she said as she picked up his satchel for him then kissed his cheek.
After he left she tried to nap on the sofa but just couldn’t seem do drop off. With a frustrated sigh she got up and started moving around the apartment, tidying things up as she went.
Before she knew it, nearly three hours had passed and Duo was opening the door.
“How did it go?” Hilde asked from when she stood in the kitchen.
“Pretty good” Duo replied as he hung up his coat, then carried his satchel to the sofa and sat down. He took a moment to set up his laptop then went to get a glass of water, when he returned to the coffee table there was a new message in his e-mail. He clicked it open and read for a moment then called out excitedly.
“Hilde!” The woman turned at see him pointing at the screen of his laptop.
“What is it?” she asked as she came around the sofa to look at it.
“It’s Wufei’s reply to the message I sent this morning, it sounds like he may have found something.”
Blue eyes brightened as they moved over the words, it certainly looked like the Preventer Agent had found something.
‘Maxwell,
It is good to hear from you and congratulations to you and Hilde. I am pleased to know that the birth went well and that your daughter is healthy. Thank you for the open invitation, I look forward to meeting your child.
As for your request, I am honored to help you in any way I can to help you find Yuy. Last month I had taken it upon myself to requisition copies of ticket purchases, passenger information fitting Yuy’s description and any available surveillance footage for every venue of transport that would allow Yuy to leave the colony.
Agent Po and I have gone over much of the data received and believe we may have spotted Yuy attempting to stow away aboard one of three shuttles leaving L2 the night he vanished. We will continue to pursue the footage and flight records to see if we are able to narrow down which fight he may have boarded.
I will call you at 15:00 your time, Wednesday the 23rd to speak with you on the matter. By then I should have more information for you.
Regards
Chang Wufei’
Hilde glanced at the clock, “he should be calling anytime time now.”
As if on cue the vid-phone rang, with a glance at the caller ID Duo grinned and hit the connect button “Dave’s sperm bank, you spank it we bank it.”
“Maxwell!” Wufei sputtered, turning an interesting shade of red while Sally snickered in the background “that was quite inappropriate.”
“But amusing, my friend. Very amusing” Duo replied with a laugh as he moved over so Hilde could sit beside him. “Hiya Sal.” He greeted when the female Preventer Agent moved into the vids camera range.
“Hello Duo, Hilde” she greeted, grin firmly set on her face as she had found Duo’s ‘inappropriate’ greeting damn funny too “congratulations again on the new arrival,”
“Thank you” Hilde replied “I’d let you see her now but she napping at the moment.”
“That’s alright” the doctor replied “I’m sure I’ll get to see her soon enough.”
“Now, to the matter at hand” Wufei said firmly now that had gotten past his embarrassment “as I had mentioned in the e-mail, we believe we have spotted Yuy at the shuttle port the night he disappeared.” He moved off-screen for a moment then held a photo up for Duo and Hilde to see; sure enough the figure in the photo looked like Heero, though the clothing he was wearing was nothing Duo recognized.
“This figure was caught on camera slipping into the cargo area of the shuttle port approximately forty-five minutes after entering the shuttle port, here” he held up another photo showing Heero in the non-passenger waiting area. The time stamp was just over two hours after Heero left the apartment.
“On film he is seen reading the arrival and departure board, and then he is seen speaking with an employee at the information counter before using the restroom then exiting then building. He isn’t seen on any footage again until the first shot I showed you, and even then it was for just that one moment.”
“Have you spoken with the employee?” Duo asked and Sally replied
“I spoke with him in person; he doesn’t remember seeing Heero or what they talked about. He assumes that there was nothing about the conversation or Heero’s actions that made him stand out.”
“So, do you have any idea which shuttle he might have boarded?”
“We have them narrowed down to three, but that still doesn’t help much.”
“How so?” Hilde inquired.
“The destinations for all three shuttles were large international air/shuttle ports on Earth. He could have easily gotten lost in the city or slipped aboard another shuttle or airplane and continued on.”
Duo fell back against the couch cushion with a heavy sigh “What now?”
“We do have destinations and arrival dates for each flight, we can start from there and hope we catch him sneaking off one of the shuttles, if we do then we have a place to start. If not we have to try and find a way to narrow down our search.” Wufei said “It would also help if you could supply us with any bank accounts, aliases, e-mail address, anything we can trace.”
“I’ve already been checking all of the ones I know about, so far there hasn’t been any activity at all but I’ll gladly send you what I have” Duo replied.
“I’m sorry we haven’t been of more help” Wufei said sincerely and Duo smiled at his friend.
“You’ve done so much already, thank you. It’s a relief to know that he’s alive out there, somewhere and we’ll find him. I’m sure of it. I’ll mail you all the information I have in the way of accounts and such.”
“And I’ll message you again when something else turns up.”
They bid each other goodbye and disconnected the call.
“Well” Hilde began; as she stood to go check on the baby “at least we know he made it as far as Earth.”
“Yeah, but where he is now is anyone’s guess.”

Earth Tuesday November 22^ndEvening - AC 197

Heero allowed the two doctors to help him to his room then sat quietly on his bed while Dr. Masahura looked over the chart Scott had been keeping.
“It looks like the antiemetic seems to be working, what about the cough suppressant?”
“It only seems to last about three hours then it wears off suddenly. He woke twice last night with uncontrollable coughing and it took quite a while before the coughing was controlled enough for him to sleep again.”
“Does the coughing trigger vomiting?”
“Yes.”
“I suggest upping the dosage by 5 milligrams each dose until it lasts for at least four hours. Once the coughing stays controlled for four hours at a time start giving him a dose every three and a half hours so the next dose starts working before that last has worn off.”
Scott nodded and scribbled the suggestion down in his notebook.
“Now, young man” Dr. Masahura began as he turned to Heero “let’s take a look at you.”
Heero lay back on the bed and stared up at the celling while the Japanese doctor pushed up his t-shirt to expose his gently rounded belly.
“How far along did you say he was?” Joe asked the other doctor.
“According to the ultrasound he’s looks to be between 25 and 27 weeks.”
“Well, it certainly doesn’t show,” Joe commented and he began feeling Heero’s belly “especially for triplets”
“In the ultrasound the implant looked like it may be higher and more to the back then it should, probably in an effort to help mask a pregnancy.”
“Perhaps” Joe said quietly as he continued to manipulate the exposed abdomen while Heero seemed annoyed by the fact that they were talking like he wasn’t there. “Right, let’s take a look inside.” Joe announced while turning to the portable ultrasound he had brought with him.
A few moments later the machine was ready and Dr Masahura was pressing the cool wand against Heero’s stomach.
“Well, I agree with your estimation of 25 to 27 weeks Scott, they are exactly the right size and weight, and though one is a little on the small size they all look perfect.” He took a few more measurements and listened to their heartbeats then printed off another set of pictures for Heero before turning off the machine and helping the youth clean the gel from his skin.
Once Heero was clean and lying comfortably on bed Joe addressed him directly “As you probably already know, your condition is what would be considered high risk for several reasons. You current state of heath, your age and that you are carrying three. As such, I want you on near total bed rest for the remainder of this pregnancy.”
Heero frowned deeply.
“You aren’t going to like it, especially when the meds start working and you start feeling better. You’re going to want to get up and walk about, this is the worst thing you could do at this point and will not only jeopardize your health but will put your babies lives at risk as well.”
Heero nodded in understanding and the Asian doctor gave his shoulder a squeeze.
“You won’t have to lie in here all the time; you can sit in the living room and walk around the house a little, when you get your strength back but absolutely no standing for long periods of time and no lifting or carrying anything heavier than five pounds.”
“Okay” Heero replied softly and Joe moved towards the door.
“Eat as often as you feel able and I want to drink as much water as you can manage. I’ll pop back around after the holiday to see how you’re doing.”
With another nod the doctor was gone, Scott following him out of the room. Heero was alone for several minutes before Rachel came in to help him settle for the night, topping off his meds and tucking him in.
“Do you need anything?” She asked smoothing the covers around him.
“No thank you” he replied trying to stifle a yawn, the nurse smiled and kissed his forehead.
“Get some rest; I’ll see you in the morning.”
“Night Rachel,” he managed around another yawn, his eyes slipping shut just as the woman turned off the light and quietly closed the door behind her.
“Is he asleep?” Mary asked when the older woman joined her in the kitchen.
“Pretty much” Rachel replied as she helped the girl clean up the dinner mess, putting away the leftovers and loading the dishwasher. Paul had gone to his room to finish his report for school while Scott and the Masahura’s sat in the living room, speaking in low tones.
It was about twenty minutes later when Joe stood and announced that it was time for them to leave as they had a long drive back to Starsdale. Since Paul was still in his room and Mary had gone to bed, it was only Rachel and Scott to see them out.
When they were alone Scott said, “I forgot to tell you, Michael called this morning. He’s probably not coming home for Thanksgiving”
“I figured as much when we didn’t hear from him for almost three weeks. Did he give a reason why?”
“He said he was behind on some work and needed to use the time to catch up” Scott replied as he walked back to the love seat and sat down.
Rachel sighed sadly as she joined him, resting her head on his shoulder, “I guess it’s for the best, especially with Heero and Mary in his room and Susan flying in. Thanksgiving is just a few days away and there isn’t even a place to sleep right now. As it is Susan is going to have to sleep on the rollaway in the nursery.”
Scott chuckled, “It’s going to be Sue’s last chance to sleep under that hideous, mustard colored ceiling.”
“You’re right, I know we promised to keep that room for her after mom gave us the house when we got married, but that room has been that color ever since she was a teenager. It’s about time is got a makeover.”
“Oh, that reminds me. What was in those Babies R. Us bags?”
“I completely forgot about those” Rachel replied and moved away from her husband so she could grab the bags that had been moved behind the sofa when the guests arrived. Setting them on the coffee table, she opened the first bag and pulled out a doll.
“A training doll?” Scott asked as he took the doll and examined it.
“Not in the true, educational sense,” she said, taking it back “it doesn’t cry or need feeding; it’s just a regular baby doll that’s roughly the size and weight of a newborn. It’s more to help him get the feel of holding a baby.”
“Good idea, what else did you get?” he asked as he pulled a bag over and began snooping through it.
“Just some more stuff for practice, you know diapers, a few outfits, bottles and such. Things he’ll be able to use later but will help him get more on an idea on how to change, bathe and feed the babies.”
“It would probably be a good idea for Mary and Paul to get a little practice in too,” Scott added “ Heero is going to need a lot of help when the babies come, especially with how fragile his health is and the fact that he is going to have surgery when he delivers.”
“Maybe I should buy two more dolls” Rachel said and Scott laughed.
