Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing, Nestle Crunches, Tootsie Rolls, or anything else you might think I own. I own nothing but the brain that came up with this idea. 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: I don't know what Relena's mothers first name is, so I made one up.

Chapter Thirteen: Is Trading Allowed?^_~

 

 

"Well, no stupid gimmicks after all." Professor G. commented.

 

"Maybe they knew we had every angle covered." Dr. H replied.

 

"Still, it doesn't make sense. They didn't try anything?" Dr. S. asked in disbelief. "Not even one insignificant attempt?"

 

"Oh, forget it." O replied. "It doesn't matter. They probably think they'll actually locate us and steal them back."

 

The doctors laughed.

 

Rei just cooed.

 

"Well, let's get out of here, just in case." Dr. S. answered as he bent over to pick up Rei's carrier handle. "..."

 

"Come on S, we need to move." Professor G. replied bending down to pick up Dominic's carrier. "..."

 

The doctors just looked at the babies.

 

Michael began to cry.

 

"I don't believe this?!" Professor G. shouted in disgust. "How?! How did they get their hands on such high-leveled holograms?!"

 

"Every angle covered!" Dr. S. shouted. "Everything except that."

 

The doctors all looked at each other knowingly.

 

"You know it was, don't you?" Professor G. asked the scientists.

 

They all shook their heads yes.

 

"Even after threatening his life, he still continues to help the pilots?" Dr. H. questioned. "Why does he do this? Why doesn't he realize that once this temporary peace is gone, we'll need those babies to save us?"

 

Dr. H. looked at Dr. S. "Should we go after them?"

 

"No way." Professor G. interrupted. "If  J. was helping, then no doubt they have a back-up plan ready. But make no mistake, we're still in business. They may have won this battle, but they haven't won the war."

 

With that last statement, the doctors headed back to their car.

To the pilots' car...

 

The women continued to protest against the guys, each in their own way.

 

Catherine kept kicking Trowa. "We have to back Trowa! Make the blonde stop the car!"

 

Trowa didn't know how to respond, so he just let her continue  kicking him. Mae Linh continued to badger Wufei insisting he was weak, while Relena kept glaring and growling at Heero.

 

'Like father, like daughter.' Heero thought.

 

Hilde continued to pull Duo's braid, while he just whined. "Owie, Hil! Leggo! Pleas, I'm sorry! Stop it! You don't understand!"

 

"No, not until we go back!" Hilde cried out pulling his braid tighter.

 

Dorothy just looked out the window, wishing she was capable of crying.

 

Quatre just glanced sadly at her through his rearview mirror.

Some time later Quatre pulls up to Relena's home and gets out with the other pilots and unreluctant ladies. Heero moved up to the door and put a hand on a spot designated for it.

 

VOICE IDENTIFICATION? the door asked.

 

"Heero Yuy." Heero said in a clear voice.

 

VOICE IDENTIFICATION CONFIRMED.

HAND PRINT IDENTIFICATION CONFIRMED.

PASSWORD? the door asked.

 

Heero glanced around for a second. "Mary had a little lamb."

 

Duo cracked up laughing, even though Hilde was still pulling his braid.

 

Heero ignored him.

 

PASSWORD CONFIRMED. WELCOME HOME HEERO YUY. The house greeted.

 

Heero walked in with the other pilots trying to coax the women in.

 

"Relena?!" Mrs. Dorlain shouted running toward her. "Are you alright?"

 

"Don't bother me mother." Relena growled.

 

Her mother looked at her strangely. "Honey? What's wrong?"

 

Relena didn't reply, but the question didn't go unanswered.

 

"They left them!"

 

"They left our poor defenseless babies!"

 

"Duo's a moron!"

 

"Trowa's evil! He didn't care!"

 

"Chang's a weakling and he's ugly and-!"

 

The girls continued to complain.

 

"Hey, yo!" Duo shouted. "Hilde, please let go of my braid, you're ripping out hair!"

 

Then everyone heard a coo from the kitchen.

 

Catherine stopped kicking Trowa. "What's that?"

 

"Sounds like Dominic." Quatre replied.

 

"What?!" the girls shouted at the same time.

 

"We didn't really hand them over, Dr. J. just helped us set up a class A hologram system." Quatre replied walking over to the kitchen. "The Dr.'s only saw the image of the babies in real time, but they were safely here the whole time."

 

"Really?!" Hilde shouted in relief as she let go of Duo's braid.

 

Duo stroked his braid tenderly. "Yeah, but you wouldn't give us a chance to explain before."

 

Catherine led the way of anxious girls to the the kitchen.

 

"Jimmy!" she shouted running over to Jimmy's carrier on the kitchen table. She picked him up and held him tight. "Jimmy, Jimmy!"

 

The other girls ran in and did the same thing.

 

"Michael, honey! Are you alright?"

 

"Dominic!"

 

"Heero! Rei!"

 

"Mingh Loh, my strong little onna!"

 

They all cradled their babies closely.

 

"Oh Duo, I knew it!" Hilde smiled at him. "I knew you couldn't leave Michael with a bunch of strangers!"

 

"..."

 

"So Mr. Winner, how was Dominic while I was gone?" Dorothy asked as she kissed Dominic's head.

 

"...Fine." Quatre replied.

 

"Really?" Dorothy asked. "How about his allergies?"

 

"..."

 

"Mr. Winner?" Dorothy asked again.

 

'He had allergies?' Quatre thought. "Fine."

 

"How about Mingh Loh Wufei?" Mae Link asked. "She's such a fussy little onna at bedtime, how did you calm her down?"

 

"..."

 

"Wufei?" Mae Linh asked again.

 

"..."

 

"Trowa, everything went well with Jimmy, right?" Catherine asked.

 

"..."

 

"So Duo," Hilde smiled as she nuzzled Michael's nose. ", what did you feed him while I was gone?"

 

"Duo fidgeted with his fingers. "ummm...apples...applesauce?"

 

Michael laughed and Hilde smiled. "What else?"

 

"I...uuhhh...corn?" Duo replied as he put his hand behind his head.

 

Hilde frowned at him. Duo wasn't sounding like himself. "How about Michael's allergy Duo? How did you keep him out of the light?"

 

"Ummm...I left all the lights off and I blocked all the windows and doors and..." Duo looked around the room realized it was filled with light. "...and I'm busted, aren't I?"

 

Hilde just frowned deeper at Duo. "Duo, I don't believe this! How much time have you spent with Michael?"

 

Duo looked at his fingers. He held up all but one.

 

"Nine? Nice what?" Hilde asked.

 

"...nine hours." Duo softly muttered.

 

Hilde turned red. "Duo, I don't believe you!"

 

Dorothy nodded her head in agreement. "Truly. That was very wrong, wasn't it Mr. Winner?"

 

"..."

 

Duo grinned mischievously. 'Fine. If I'm going down, I'm taking everyone with me.' "Don't count on himto say anything. He'd be a hypocrite, just like Trowa and Wufei."

 

"Maxwell!" wufei shouted.

 

Hilde just frowned at Duo. "Duo, that's it!" she cried. "You don't care about your own son?!"

 

Duo created a sad expression on his face. "Hil, that's not-"

 

"Fine Duo Maxwell!" Hilde cried. "Be that way!"

 

Duo looked at Hilde stunned. 'Did she just use my full name? Oh man, she's pissed!' 

 

Catherine walked over to Hilde and whispered something in her ear.

 

"You know Cathy, that sounds fine to me." Hilde grinned.

 

"Yes, I believe it's a better idea." Catherien replied walking over to Duo's side while Hilde walked over to Trowa's side.

 

Duo looked at Catherine smiling at him. "Hilde, what's going on?"

 

Hilde handed Michael to Quatre who had been standing next to Trowa. "Isn't it obvious?" Hilde put her arms around Trowa.

 

Trowa made a small gaggling sound and jumped.

 

"Me and Catherine traded. You can have Jimmy and Catherine now, while me and Michael get the cute clown." she smiled rubbing her cheek against Trowa's shoulder.

 

"Cathy!" Trowa choked out hoarsely.

 

"Hilde, what in the world are you doing?!" Duo shouted.

 

"Sshh." Catherine smiled snuggling up to Duo. "Now dear, shoutings not good for the babies."

 

"Hilde!!" Duo shouted with a tone of fear in his voice.

 

"We're allowed to trade?" Mae Linh replied interested.

 

"No!" Wufei shouted. "No trading allowed!"

 

"That's right!" Duo yelled stepping away clumsily from Catherine. "We're not merchandise!"

 

Heero grew tired of the scene and left the kitchen to the living  room. Relena followed him still holding their babies.

 

Heero sat down on the couch.

 

"Hello Heero." Relena greeted him.

 

He glanced over to Relena and saw her full hands. He grabbed the baby Heero and sat back down, while Relena sat beside him with Rei.

 

She smiled. "Surprised?"

 

"About the fact that I'm the father of twins or that you used my code name?" Heero said as he looked  away from Relena.

 

She closed her eyes and smiled. "Both."

 

Heero just glanced at her and looked away. "Why Peacecraft?"

 

Relena opened her eyes back up. "I thought it sounded better."

 

Heero looked back at her. "..."

 

"..."

 

Then everyone walked into the room.

 

Relena smiled at Hilde. "So?"

 

"If he takes of Michael 75% of the time when he cries at night, I'd keep him." Hilde smiled.

 

"Yeah, lucky me." Duo muttered incomprehensively under his breath. "Come on Hilde, let's go home." Duo headed to the door with the rest of the pilots. "So Heero, you staying here?"

 

"Affirmative." Heero replied. "The estate has been-"

 

"-made completely Heero Proof." Duo finished. "Yeah, I sorta noticed. I'm taking Hilde somewhere where it's safer too."

 

"Yeah." Quatre replied looking at Dorothy. "We took the scientists too lightly."

 

"We must find a secure location." Wufei replied.

 

"Yes." Trowa agreed. Catherine looked at the ground sadly.

 

"When we find a safe spot, I'll contact you Heero." Duo replied.

 

"We all will." Quatre stated.

 

"Roger that." Heero simply answered back.

 

Duo grabbed the handle on the door, but it wouldn't turn. Instead, and alarm went off with a loud beeping sound.

 

DANGER! DANGER! UNLAWFUL ENTRY! DANGER!

 

"I'll get that!" Mrs. Dorlain shouted as she went to the keyboard that was next to the door and typed in certain buttons. "You go out, the same way you come in." she replied as she put her hand on a place designated for it.

 

VOICE IDENTIFICATION? The door asked once again.

 

"Kate Dorlain!" Mrs. Dorlain said happily.

 

VOICE IDENTIFICATION CONFIRMED.

HAND IDENTIFICATION CONFIRMED.

PASSWORD? The door asked.

 

Mrs. Dorlain smiled. "Mary had a little lamb."

 

PASSWORD CONFIRMED. HAVE A NICE DAY MRS. DORLAIN.

 

"Oh, well thank you!" she said smiled back at the door. Then she looked at the others in the room. "Isn't my Heero the best? He did everything on his own! He's so talented and strong, Thanksgiving will be interesting, won't it Relena?"

 

Relena didn't reply.

 

Everyone started to walk out the door and back to the rental car. They waved goodbye as they got all in.

 

"Keep in touch, Heero." Duo replied as he got into the car.

 

Heero watched them drive off down the street before he went back in with his 'family'.
