Chapter 19
It wasn't until a week after Relena left when Duo noticed something off. He was sitting in the living room, reading and listening to the baby's heartbeats. When he noticed that the beats didn't sound right. He placed the book on the coffee table and listened intently for a minute to make sure it wasn't his imagination.
Starting to worry, Duo stood and called for Heero. Heero was in the kitchen at the time making up something to eat when he heard the call. Quickly walking in to the living room looking worried, he looked over Duo to make sure he was all right.
Taking the head phones out, Duo held them towards Heero. “Listen to this.” Heero walked closer and grabbed them. Making sure to keep close to Duo and put the head phones in. After a moment Heero began to look worried. “ You hear it too? Right?” Duo asked nervously.
Heero nodded and took out the head phones. “Whats going on? When did it start?” Duo shrugged.
“I don't know I was just sitting here reading when I noticed it. Maybe we should call Sally.” Heero nodded and went to grab the phone. Dialing as we walked back to his lover.
After a few moments of talking to Sally and deciding that Sally should see Duo. As soon as Heero hung up he pulled his worried lover into his arms.
“I am sure the baby is fine. Sally just wants to listen to the baby to make sure its ok.” Duo nodded and let Heero get him ready for a trip to Preventor HQ and Sally's office.
The drive was pretty much uneventful as both were to busy worrying about the baby. Duo continued to listen to the weird sounding heartbeats, and praying that the life growing in him was ok.
Once they got to Sally's office, Sally admittedly want do to talk off his shirt and lay on the bed. She then pulled screen that had a hand held stick attached to it. Making sure that the screen was facing away from the couple. Smearing one end with some gel, she turned to the couple.
“This is an Ultrasound. It will allow us to see the baby and hear its heartbeats. Now I am going to rest this against your stomach and it is going to be cold.” Duo nodded and grabbed Heero's hand.
Making sure everything was turned on Sally gently place the hand held item on Duo's stomach and after a few moments out adjusting the heartbeat could be clearly heard. Sally listened and watched for a few minutes before turning the screen to toward Duo and Heero.
Sally smiled brightly. “ Good news, nothing is wrong.” Duo smiled in relief. Sally then pointed to the screen. “This is the baby's head and this...” She pointed to another part of the screen. “...is the other baby's head.”
“W-what?” Duo stuttered.
“Congratulation! Your having twins.” Duo promptly fainted.
“Are you sure?” Heero asked looking down at his lover worriedly. Sally nodded.
“I am so glad he finally told you. Its always much easier if both parents are involved.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well they are your children to. He may be carrying them but you are still a part of them.”
“What do you mean Sally? I am not the father of them.” Sally frowned.
“You mean he hasn't told you?”
“Hasn't told me what?” Heero asked in frustration.
“Duo has only ever been with you. I thought he had told you. The babies, they are yours.” Heero shook his head.
“That's impossible.”
“Seem pretty possible to me. Considering Duo never lies and I was told that there had been only one man he has ever slept with.”
Heero shook his head more. “But that can't be... I was told I couldn't... Why didn't he tell me?”
“I was afraid.” Came Duo's quiet voice from the bed. Heero looked at him. “ I tried to tell you but then Relena interrupted and then the timing was never right. I was going to tell you. There has only been you, Heero.”
Heero sat there for a moment just staring at Duo. “ I am going to be a father.” Duo smiled at him and nodded. Heero stood and quickly left the room.
