I make no profit everything's just for Fun! Remember this takes place after Endless Waltz, but it's AU only in the fact they still own their Gundams.

 

Note: In this chapter the guys may yell a lot. It's not that they're mad at each other, but if a lot of babies cry at the same time what can you do?

 

 

 

And Then There were Six.

Chapter Ten: Oh Baby!

 

 

 

A few hours later the guys arrive at X5452. Inside the only structure inside that particular colony...

 

"Heero, you and Trowa take the right." Quatre ordered. "Duo and I will take the left. Wufei, you take the front."

 

All the guys split up.

 

"So, what kind of trap do you think they want to set for us?" Duo asked Quatre.

 

"I don't know, but this was a dead end." Quatre replied while feeling the wall. "We better go back and see if the others found something."

 

To Heero and Trowa...

 

Heero felt the wall. "Dead end."

 

They saw Quatre and Trowa coming up from behind them.

 

"Anything?" Quatre asked.

 

Heero shook his head no.

 

Duo sighed. "Well, maybe Wufei found something.

 

Everyone started to walk out and cautiously followed Wufei's trail.

 

"HIs seems longer." Quatre noted. "This might be where the trap's set."

 

Soon, the guys saw Wufei at the end of the trail. He was staring at something ahead of him in an unseen room.

 

"Hey Wufei, you find the girls?" Duo asked coming up beside him.

 

Wufei shook his head no.

 

"Then what are you staring at?" Quatre asked him.

 

Wufei just pointed into the unseen room.

 

"..."

 

"Is that...them?" Quatre asked nervously pointing to the back of the room. He saw carriers on a long table with gold plaques on them that were unreadable.

 

Wufei nudged Duo. "Maxwell, go check it out."

 

Duo just looked back at him wide-eyed. "Nuh-uh. You go Mr. Justice."

 

Quatre took a deep breath and took a step forward. "I'll go."

 

Quatre cautiously walked forward and could start to read the writing on the little plaques. He suddenly started to veer right toward the blonde at the far edge.

 

"Yo Quatre!" Duo shouted. "Is it them?"

 

Quatre smiled down nervously at the little blonde in front of him. "Yeah Duo...it's them."

 

The pilots slowly walked forward.

 

"And so, now there's five little guys like us, huh?" Duo said coming up to the carrier that had Michael Schbeiker engraved on a plaque.

 

Wufei walked over to the carrier on the far right with uncertainty. "Injustice. Why must the controllers of fate be so cruel?"

 

Duo looked over at the carrier Wufei was standing in front of. He laughed. "Cute little girl, Wufei!"

 

Wufei just frowned back at Duo.

 

Meanwhile, Trowa walked over to the carrier that had Jimmy Bloom engraved on it's plaque. 'It took Catherine's hair color? Oh, please don't let it inherit her attitude as well.'

 

Duo looked back at Heero. "Come on Heero, don't be shy! Come say hi to your boy!"

 

Heero started to walk unsurely to the baby in the middle, but stopped.

 

"What's wrong?" Duo asked.

 

Heero glanced at the carrier to his left. Then he glanced to the carrier at his right. '...'

 

Wufei looked at the carrier next to his baby Mingh Loh. He smirked. "I knew I couldn't be the only one to have a girl!" Wufei looked at the plaque. "Such a Weak name too. Rei Peacecraft."

 

Heero started to walk toward Rei's carrier.

 

"Wait a second." Quatre interrupted. "Are you sure? The one next to me says Heero Yuy Peacecraft."

 

Heero suddenly froze where he stood.

 

Duo laughed. "And then there was six?! Twins Heero, you da man!"

 

Quatre looked back questioningly at Heero. "If the babies are here, where are the ladies then?"

 

"Where are the ladies indeed." they heard a voice reply from somewhere behind them in the shadows.

 

The pilots simultaneously pulled out their guns.

 

Heero growled lowly. "Dr. J."

 

Dr. J. came out of the shadows and smiled. "Yes, it's about time you show up." He twisted his mechanical arm around. "Taking care of six babies isn't easy work you know."

 

"Where's Hilde?!" Duo shouted.

 

"I'm afraid none of the ladies are in my care." he responded.

 

"Oh?!" Duo said not buyin Dr. J's story. "Then how come you got their kids, huh wise guy?!"

 

Doctor J. walked out a little further. "It's a long story pilots. Will you refrain from trying to kill me before I finish it?" Dr. J. looked seriously at the pilots. "I've been trying to find the scientists ever since I sent you those letters. Unfortunately, they completely hid all their activities when you were trying to track them down."

 

"Tell us something we don't know." Wufei replied.

 

Dr. J. ignored Wufei's comment. "When I kidnapped the women and you started following my clues, they let their guard down. Or so I thought. They actually planned on invading my secret lair and steal the women and their babies. When I came back from their wild goose chase, I was confronted by Professor G.  He told me to deliver the babies or they'd eliminate the women. I told them that you had caught up with me earlier, and that you had tooken the babies, but wanted the girls back."

 

"So you lied?" Quatre asked.

 

Dr. J. looked at Quatre. "He saw it as a win-win situation. He asked me to tell him where I was supposed to be meeting you at. If I did, then he wouldn't shoot me. I gave him a fake location and he left, not knowing the infants were safe in a hidden room within these dead end walls.

 

Quatre looked at Dr. J. a little strangely. "I don't understand. Why did you take the ladies in the first place?"

 

Dr. J. sighed. "You were acting like idiots letting the females stay out in the open. Then you wanted to use them as bait? What choice did I have?!"

 

Duo smirked. "Let me get this straight. First, you steal the mothers from us because you thought we were too stupid to take care of them. Then you tell us you fell for their trap and let them take the girls?"

 

"Yes, yes!" Dr. J. said frustrated. "I know! I was just as stupid but I've come to make it up to you."

 

"How?" Quatre asked.

 

"By giving you your children back." he said as he gestured towards the children. "and by giving you the location the scientists believe they'll be meeting you at."

 

"How do you know if the scientists still trust you?" Heero asked.

 

"I don't." Dr. J. replied.

 

"Then how do you know they weren't following us, and aren't outside those doors right now!" Wufei shouted.

 

"I don't." Dr. J. replied. "It was a risk I had to take."

 

Then one of the babies started to cry.

 

"Ummm, Duo? I think it's yours." Quatre said as he looked at Duo.

 

Duo looked down at his kid. "Well, what am I supposed to do?"

 

"Pick it up." Wufei simply replied.

 

Duo looked down at Michael with a cock-eyed expression. "Uuhh...I don't know how. Maybe if I just-"

 

Duo picked Michael up by his armpits and held him out at arms length. Michael continued to cry.

 

"Quatre,  help!" Duo yelled helplessly. "This thing's still crying!"

 

Heero growled when he looked back. He saw a piece of paper lying on the floor. "Dr. J's gone."

 

Then, Dominic and Mingh Loh started to cry.

 

"Oh, Maxwell! See what you started?!" Wufei yelled as he looked down at Mingh Loh.

 

Quatre picked Dominic up and held him the same as Duo.

 

Duo gawked at Quatre. "You got 29 sisters Quat! Don't you know how to hold a baby by now?!"

 

"I never said I held any of them before!" Quatre shouted. "I'm not an expert at everything you know!"

 

Just then, Rei started to cry. Heero picked her up and held her.

 

Everyone's mouths dropped as they watched Heero.

 

"Heero?!" Quatre shouted. "I didn't know you could hold a baby?!"

 

Heero glanced at Quatre. "Don't assume you know me."

 

"Well, will you please show us what you're doing?!" Duo asked.

 

After Heero helps the frantic fathers learn how to hold their babies...

 

"Coochie, coochie, coo! Coochie, Coochie, coo!" Duo said nuzzling Michael's nose. "Man, this kids cute. He's gonna get all the hotties when he grows up."

 

Heero put Rei back in her carrier. "We should get going. Dr. J left us a note explaining where we meet the scientists and what we're supposed to do."

 

"Okay." Duo agreed as he walked over to Wufei. "Your daughter's kinda cute too, huh? Maybe these two will get together."

 

"Maxwell!" Wufei shouted and choked at the same time. Never will I let Mingh Loh near your weak offspring!"

 

Duo laughed. "Just kidding man, geez. Michael could do a lot better than her anway."

 

"No, he couldn't!" Wufei shouted annoyed. "He'd be lucky to get an onna half as great as her!"

 

Duo just smirked. "Wufei Chang, do I sense a change of attitude toward women from you?"

 

Wufei looked at Mingh Loh. "No, all women are weak except for her."

 

"Yeah, right!" Duo laughed heading out of the room with Michael. "I bet she'll carry a fuzzy pink purse, chew gum all the time, and go out with the weakest guys she can find just to piss you off!"

 

Wufei ran out of the room with Mingh Loh shouting. "Maxwell! Injustice!"

 

Quatre looked down at Dominic in his hands. "Well Heero, where are we supposed to meet them?"

 

Heero grabbed both his babies' carrier handles and held one in each hand. "Back where the girls were first kidnapped. B.K."

 

Trowa looked down at Jimmy and then picked up the carrier handle. He, Heero and Quatre all walked away from the table and out of the room.
