Chapter 14
While over the next week Wufei picked on Duo relentlessly. Quatre and Trowa continued their constant hover. So life was no where boring as all four of them tried to keep the secret from the fifth. So was becoming difficult consider three out of the four were seriously starting to annoy the long hair pregnant man.
So between the three doing their best to annoy Duo and the mood swings Duo started picking up. Quatre suggested that they hire a tailor to make all Duo maternity cloths. That way he would have cloths that suited him and that weren't horrible looking.
Though having decided that later in the pregnancy Duo was going to have to poise as a girl when he left the house. There was no other way around it and though Duo loathed the idea, he hated being locked in the house even more.
So with all that was going on it was a complete and utter surprise when the door bell rang. None of them expecting any company and were quiet happily enjoying their vacation. Duo was coming out of the kitchen to answer the door when Heero beat him to it.
There standing behind the door was none other than Relena, who instantly attached herself to Heero. “Heero darling, how are you? I missed you so much, that I decided to take some time off and join you on your vacation.” Heero grunted and shook her off his arms and as several of Relena's servants began loading her luggage into the house.
It took her another moment to notice Duo, who was standing in the hall wear sweats and had a sandwich in one hand. She raised her head in a snobbish way before speaking to him. “Mr. Maxwell, it is nice to see you.” She looked him over for a moment. “ Are sure you want to be eating that sandwich you look like you don't need the extra weight.”
Duo looked down at himself, sure he had gained some weight but he was also about 13 weeks into his pregnancy. He really shouldn't have gained that much to be so noticeable. “What are you implying Miss Relena?” Duo asked.
Relena sighed. “Well if you want to get fat that is your issue but may I suggest that you at least start to exercise so that the rest of us don't have to put up with such a fat slob.”
Duo's eyes filled up with tears that threatened to fall before he turned and fled the room while shouting for Quatre. Heero stood watching as his best friend flee the room obliviously upset. He quickly shook Relena off of himself again and fallowed Duo out of the room.
When he entered the living room it was to see Duo sitting on the couch. His face buried in Wufei's neck cry. Both seemingly not to notice him just standing in the room.
“Shhh.. It's okay Duo...” Wufei tried to comfort. Duo's reply was muffled so that Heero could not hear it. “No your not getting fat Duo. It's okay, she doesn't know what she is talking about.” There was some more mumbling. “ Why don't you put in your head phones Duo.” Duo nodded and with Wufei's help had the head phones in with out moving his head from it spot.
After a minute of silence Heero quietly coughed to get Wufei's attention. Wufei looked at him before signaling him to be quiet. “He just fell asleep.” He whispered while motioned Heero so sit beside them. “I heard Relena showed up.” Heero nodded and Wufei sighed. “Just what he needs, more stress.” Wufei mumbled to himself.
“Whats going on? Whats wrong with him?” Heero asked in a whisper.
“It's not my secret to tell, but he is fine. I am sure he will tell you soon enough.” Heero sighed. “Here..” Wufei gently shifted Duo to rest up against Heero. “ Can you watch over him for me. I need to go tell Quatre and Trowa about our quest and what happened.”
Heero nodded as Wufei stood and head out of the room. Just as was about to exit Wufei looked over his shoulder to see Heero lean back and getting comfortable. Never taking his eyes off of Duo.
Later when Quatre went to check on the two he found them both sleeping contently on the couch. Heero had his arms wrapped around Duo. Both having warm smiles on their faces as they slept. Quatre decided it was best to just let them sleep.
