The Trouble With the Truth Part Two: Time Marches On.

By: Msmelanie

Chapter Thirteen: Heero Shouts...For Relena?!

"Anybody want to come with me to see the manager?" Relena asked.

"We'll come!" Catherine shouted out. "Jimmy, grab your coat!"

Trowa just glanced at her.

Relena, Jimmy and Catherine went inside the circus tent...

"Hey, Cathy!" Legato called out.

"Hey, Legato!" Catherine shouted back. "What are you doing?"

Relena watched Catherine flirting with Legato. "Catherine, let's go." Relena asked as she moved to the manager's tent.

"Okay, would you watch Jimmy for me?" Catherine asked.

"Sure!" Legato laughed out. He watched Relena and Catherine exit the tent. He looked over at Jimmy. "Hey Jimmy, you want a sucker?"

Jimmy just stared at the candy and shook his head no as he started to walk off.

Damn kid... Legato thought as he stuck some suckers in the back of Jimmy's hood as he walked off.

"Hey, Legato!" Rouge called out.

"Hey, Rouge." Legato replied.

"Did he take it?" Rouge asked.

"No, but I stuck some in his hood. Maybe some of the others will eat it." Legato replied.

Later right before bedtime...

"Mom has to perform tomorrow? Do our dads too?" asked Michael.

"No." Jimmy replied.

"Well, Duo must've been relieved!" Michael said. "Hey Jimmy, will you take that coat off already? Your making me warm just looking at you."

Jimmy removed his coat but Michael noticed something fall.

"Whoah, Jimmy! You got candy!" Michael shouted as he looked at the suckers that fell on the floor.

Jimmy just looked at the ground.

"Who gave them to you?" Michael asked as he stuck one of the suckers into his mouth.

"Jerk." Jimmy replied.

"Oh? Legato, huh?" asked Michael.

Jimmy shook his head yes.

Michael swirled the sucker in his mouth and took it out. "Hey, these are pretty good! You guys want some?"

"Sure!" Dominic shouted as he stuck one into his mouth. "Hey, these are pretty good! Want one, Jimmy?"

"No." Jimmy replied.

"Well, do you want one Neo?" Michael asked as he held out a sucker. Neo slapped it away.

"What about us?!" Mingh Loh shouted.

"Here." Michael replied as he handed a sucker to Rei and Mingh Loh.

"Hey, it's getting close to bedtime guys." Hilde said as she came into the childrens' room. "Let's go, Michael."

"Do I have to?" Michael whined. Hilde looked at Michael sternly until he got up and followed her to the bathroom.

The next day at lunchtime...

"Honey, aren't you hungry?" Hilde asked Michael over the kitchen table.

"Not really." Michael sniffed as he moved his food around with his fork.

"Are you sniffling, Michael?" Hilde asked. "Did you catch a cold?"

"I'm not the only one, see?" Michael said as he pointed to Jimmy, Neo, and Dominic. Jimmy was sniffling while Dominic and Neo were wiping their runny noses on their shirts.

Quatre looked over at his son. "Dominic, why don't you go blow your nose?"

"I can't blow my nose by myself, yet." Dominic replied.

Quatre looked at Dorothy. "Dorothy?"

"Nope, you have to learn sometime." Dorothy said sticking another piece of meat in her mouth.

Quatre moaned slightly as he grabbed Dominic and started to take him upstairs.

"Dominic?" Quatre asked. "Could you please not wipe your nose on my sweater?"

Dominic looked at Quatre's sweater. "Sorry."

"Poor Dominic." Michael replied taking another bite of his corn.

"Michael, you need to blow your nose, too." Hilde said.

"Mommy, I don't want to!" whined Michael.

"Duo, would you take him?" Hilde asked.

"Hilde, I don't want to!" whined Duo.

"Please, Duo?" Hilde replied sweetly.

"Ewww...Let's go kid." Duo finally replied. "Don't forget about Neo, Heero."

Relena looked at Heero. Heero got up and moved toward Neo.

Neo looked at Heero. I have to go with him? Eww.

Neo followed closely to Heero as they went up the stairs.

"Don't even think of rubbing your nose on me." Heero said.

"Your not worthy enough." Neo replied.

Later that day when the boys were upstairs and everyone else was chilling in the living room or the kitchen...

"Can you believe all the boys are sick?" Mingh Loh said to Rei. "They sure did catch a heck of a cold."

Rei just ignored her and walked up to Heero on the small couch.

"What is it?" Heero asked.

She held out her arms.

"I think she wants picked up, Heero." Quatre whispered to him.

Heero just looked at her and closed his eyes.

He's not going to. Rei thought. Heero opened his eyes when he felt her small hand on his knee. Rei lifted herself up onto Heero's lap.

Everyone just stared to see what Heero would do, especially Relena.

Heero did nothing until Rei put her hands around his neck.

"R-Relena!" Heero shouted as if he was in danger.

Relena came out of the kitchen to see why Heero shouted. "Well, well Rei. How did you manage that?"

Rei just smiled at her mother.

"Help me." Heero said as Duo came out of the kitchen and bursted out laughing at the sight.

Relena looked at her daughter. "She's not going to hurt you, she just wants you to hold her."

Heero just looked at Relena with pleading eyes.

"Heero, be a man!" Duo laughed. Then he looked seriously at Heero. "Heero, your mission is to hold your daughter. Don't chicken out!" he started laughing again.

Heero looked over at Duo. "Hilde, go get your son."

"Why?" Hilde asked. "Are you going to be mean to Duo?"

Duo kept laughing and wasn't paying attention at all. "Yes."

"Okay, then!" Hilde said as she brought Michael downstairs. "Go over to your Uncle Heero, he wants to talk to you."

Michael went over to Heero. "Why's my dad laughing so hard?" he asked.

"That's not important right now. You like candy, right?" Heero asked still hoping Rei would let go of him soon.

"Yes!" Michael shouted.

Heero whispered something to Michael that put a huge grin on his face.

Michael came running up to Duo and jumped on his lap.

"-What the?" Duo said as he looked at Michael. "Hey, kid. What do you want?"

Michael smiled. "To say I love you!"

"Umm...w-what?" Duo asked again.

"To say I love you with my entire heart and soul daddy!" Michael said as he hung onto his neck and kissed his cheek.

"What? Hey-why are you-what's going-is this a-" Duo stuttered.

Heero grinned. Now who's laughing.
