| Song: I Don't Wanna Wait by Paula Cole So open up your morning light And say a little prayer for I You know that if we are to stay alive Then see the peace in every eye. Selena had not seen Heero in three years. They had met during a mission in which Heero was supposed to kill her. But under different circumstances, he slept with her. Now Selena had to raise her three year old son alone. She had one baby,poor thing he was only three In the war of '44 Every telephone ring,every heartbeat stinging When she thought it was God calling her Oh,would her son grow to know his father? She wished to God that Heero didn't have to leave. But, that stupid man left anyways. "Aitsume." Selena wished she could tell him how much she loved him. But did he love her? I don't wanna wait, for our lives to be over I want to know right now what will it be I don't wanna wait,for our lives to be over Will it be yes,or will it be sorry? "Mommy." her son Aidan walked in. "What is it Aidan?" she asked. "There's someone outside. Who is it?" Aidan said. "I don't know." Selena said. "Let's go see." She went to the front door. He showed up all wet on the rainy front step Wearing shrapnel in his skin And the war he saw,lives inside him still It's so hard to be gentle and warm The years passed by, does he know that he's a father? Selena opened the door. She saw a familiar figure on her front step. "Who is it Mommy?" Aidan asked from behind her. "Stay inside Aidan." she said and went outside and closed the door. "Heero? Is that you?" she asked. Heero nodded and looked at the door questioningly. "Who's kid?" he asked. I don't wanna wait for our lives to be over I want to know right now what will it be I don't wanna wait for out lives to be over Will it be yes or will it be sorry? "Mine." Selena answered. "Yeah,well,I kind of figured that since he called you 'mommy'." Heero said, pissed. "What's the matter?" Selena wanted to know. "Who's the kid's father?" Heero asked. Selena looked at the ground for a moment then looked back up at him. "You are." You look at me from across the room You're wearing your anguish again Believe me,I know the feeling It sucks you into the jaws of anger So breathe a little more deeply my love All we have is this very moment And I don't wanna do what his father, And his father,and his father did, I wanna be here now "What?" he gave her a half confused half angry look, "What do you mean?" "I mean that you are his father." she said. Heero blinked,this couldn't be true. "But I've been gone for three years." he said. "Think Heero. That night before you left is when you got me pregnant. He's three years old now." Selena said. Heero looked into Selena's eyes. "Sel,I'm sorry." he said. So open up your morning light And say a little prayer for I You know that if we are to stay alive Then see the love in every eye Selena moved into Heero's arms and held him for what seemed like forever. "It's okay." she whispered. "C'mon, let's go meet your son." |
