Can't Have It All Chapter 14
Quatre was thinking, hard. Trowa could tell. His brow wrinkled and he was calculating something very, very carefully. He opened his mouth to ask Trowa a question. He put his finger to his lover’s lips. “No,” Trowa said firmly. He glared to back up this statement, not hopeful it would do much good. Trowa replaced his finger with his lips, kissing his lover firmly to soften the denial. “No, Quatre, and you know the reasons as well as I do.” “I do know, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. Even if it really isn’t our place, I feel like we should be there. They’re our friends. Heero’s going.” Trowa gave his little love a slightly annoyed look. “That’s hardly the same thing. Heero had to deal with the consequences of the decisions that have to be made. He has to make his wishes known, and he has to support Duo. You and I, love, have to be waiting for them when they come home.” Quatre nodded. “I really understand, Trowa, but I want to know what’s going on, and I want to make sure they all keep their heads.” “Have faith, lover. They will work something out, if not now, then later, when they cool down.” Quatre sighed and stepped forward to wrap himself around his tall lover’s body. “I love you, Trowa.” “And you love them. That’s why it’s so hard. Maybe it’s time to think about getting someone you can fuss over all you want to. You can be as interfering and protective as you want, with nothing but occasional sedation, administered by myself, to stop you.” “What do you mean?” Quatre asked, big staring quizzically up at Trowa. Sending a quick prayer heavenward, Trowa took a leap of faith. “Let’s have a family, Quatre. You and me, and as many little rug rats as we can stand.” Quatre searched his face, understanding dawning. “You want that, badly. You have since the twins were born. You want children, don’t you?” Trowa didn’t deny it, didn’t say anything. So much was riding on Quatre’s next words. He loved the Arabian more than life itself, but for this one thing, he would give anything. ‘Not now’ he could handle, ‘not ever’ would see him packing. Quatre’s lips quirked. “For someone so wise, you certainly are silly,” he grinned. “You should see yourself. Even if I wasn’t sure I wanted children, and believe me, love, I do, I would never easily dismiss something that is so important to you. Let’s have a family, Trowa. Soon.”
“I’ve never gone this long before without seeing my babies. Since the day they were born, not two days have passed that I didn’t see them, until this. Three weeks, Heero. God, I miss them.” “We’ll be there in just a few minutes,” his lover soothed. “Actually,” the cab driver commented, “we’re on the street you asked for right now. It’s about two blocks up.” Within a few heartbeats, they were sitting in front of the address Wufei had given them as his own. They paid and thanked the driver and, taking their small overnight bags with them, headed apprehensively toward the door. Wufei opened it before they knocked, smiling a little at them before stepping back to allow them entrance. Duo had a hundred million questions he wanted to ask, but Wufei hadn’t answered them on the phone, and he probably wouldn’t now. Duo was about to ask he could at least see the girls, when suddenly Relena was there, at the end of the hall, and their little girls were standing there with her. It was such a beautiful sight. Duo didn’t know what to say, what to ask, what to do. He just stood there taking in the sight, and wondering if Relena really hated him, or if there was a way to salvage all of this, because, God, he needed his babies. Two pairs of blue eyes looked questioningly up at their mother. They knew, of course, the man before them, but was this okay? Relena had already decided to offer the olive branch. She smiled at her children, and said simply, “Go see Daddy.” With a delighted light in their eyes, the twins ran for Duo, who fell to his knees like he’d been struck down. Two sets of arms reached for his neck, and he pulled them to him and simply held them there. After a moment, he beckoned Heero, who also went down on the floor to greet the babies he loved so much. Relena’s smile stayed as she watched the four of them and she caught Wufei’s eye and motioned with her head. He nodded, and picked up his keys. “We’re going to give you two to some time alone with the girls. We’re only going to lunch, a little café just down the road. Help yourself to anything you want,” Relena said, picking up her purse. “We’ll talk later.” Heero looked up and met Relena’s eyes. A relationship between them would never have worked; he’d always believed it, they both believed it now, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t an extraordinary woman. “Thank you,” he said sincerely. She gave him a friendly smile back, and followed Wufei to the door. As it closed behind them, Wufei took Relena’s hand and squeezed it. “I know what he was thinking, and he’s right.” “Do tell.” She looked at him through her eyelashes, not sure she trusted what he would say next. He surprised her, though, by taking her into his arms and kissing her into near incoherence. “You are an unbelievable woman,” he told her,
stealing one more kiss before sliding into the driver’s seat.
He shut the door, and smiled as he waited for her to gather herself
and walk around the vehicle to get in. “You must be,” he
murmured, “because I’m already in love with you. ~ * ~ |
