Hey there, fellow HiroGo shippers! First, I'd like to thank those of you who followed, faved, and commented and reviewed 'Love's Sanctuary'. And I'd also like to thank those of you whose feedback allowed me to better myself as a writer.

So, here is a new story. It's got that drama that we all love.

And as always, Big Hero 6 belongs to Disney and Marvel. And for reference-Hiro is 21 and GoGo is 24 (she hasn't reached her birthday).

Two years…it had been two years since Hiro Hamada had asked Gogo Tomago to be his girlfriend. And when she agreed, they found an apartment together. And it had been a wonderful two years for the couple. But then-things changed.

It happened one night when Hiro came home late. Gogo accused him of seeing someone behind her back, and Hiro vehemently denied the accusation. Gogo continued to accuse him, and Hiro, unwilling to deal with the situation, left the apartment before the argument turned hostile-which, knowing Gogo's personality, was possible.

But the arguments and hostility was nothing compared to the times he'd come to the apartment and she greeted him with silence and indifference. He'd try to start a conversation, and she'd raise her defenses. It was as though he were trying to breach a fortress-he would meet resistance through anger or silence.

So, to deal with Gogo's mercurial behavior, Hiro went to the one place he'd always have sanctuary-the Lucky Cat Café, run by his Aunt Cass. And she'd always be willing to listen to his problems, and give out advice. So, one night, over dinner, Hiro sighed, and said, "What do I do?"

Cass looked at her nephew, and chuckled. While she herself was childless, she treated Hiro and his older brother Tadashi as though they were her own. And that also included handing down advice. And after hearing Hiro's question, she said, "Well, maybe a better question would be 'what did I do?'"

Hiro looked up at his aunt. He exhaled, and said, "I don't know, Aunt Cass. And that's the problem. She either won't let me explain, or she won't talk to me."

Cass then said, "Well, that is a problem. Let me ask you this: Do you want to make Gogo happy?"

Hiro looked at her, and said, "Of course. Her happiness is paramount to mine."

Cass then asked, "Then are you willing to do whatever it takes to make her happy?"

Hiro replied, "Yes. I am willing to do anything."

Cass then asked, "Even if it means splitting up?"

Hiro swallowed hard. Here was an option he'd never considered-he loved Gogo. But Cass, seeing Hiro's reaction, said, "Hiro…I know that it's hard. I loved seeing both of you together. But you have to make a choice. And you have to let her know that you're doing it not out of spite, but to make her happy. And if you aren't going to split-then you'd better fight with everything you have to keep her."

Hiro, hearing the last statement, perked up. Cass smiled, and thought, I know you'll do the right thing…

Armed with his aunt's encouragement, Hiro decided to fight for his love. But Hiro discovered that doing the right thing was seldom the easy thing. Gogo still kept up her resistance, and he noticed that she was avoiding him. He saw that she would work long hours with her company, and when she got home, she'd notice that Hiro was sleeping on the couch-and a plate of dinner was on the table.

The only thing that made Gogo happy was the times she'd go out with Honey. They'd been friends during their days at SFIT, and Honey was aware of her shorter friend's feelings for the robotics prodigy. So one night after work, Honey and Gogo were at a small bar, catching up.

Honey asked, "So, what's happening with you and Hiro?"

Gogo silently swore, but answered, "What are you saying?"

Honey replied, "Well, when you two started dating, you were the happiest I'd ever seen you. Now…you've changed. And not in a good way. Did Hiro do something to you?"

Gogo sighed, and said, "Well…you could say that."

Honey then asked, "And what was it that was so bad that turned you into…this?"

Gogo said, "I'll tell you…but it's a secret. And you can't tell anyone else." Honey groaned-secret keeping wasn't her strong point. But Honey nodded, and Gogo leaned across the small table and whispered in Honey's ear.

At the news, Honey's eyes widened, and she said, "Well, I think that's something you'd better tell him."

Gogo then said, "But…but what if Hiro doesn't want to be with me anymore? It's happened before…with other girls."

Honey said, "Look, Gogo. You're not going to be able to keep it a secret forever. Or in your case, a few more months. So you'd better clear the air with Hiro. And then…if he decides to leave…that's on him. But I know Hiro wouldn't do that."

Gogo smiled-probably for the first time in months. But Honey had that effect on others.

XXXXXXXHIROGOGOXXXXXX
Two nights after this talk, Hiro noted Gogo had changed-again. Her violent outbursts had stopped, and they started talking again. While she kept this 'secret' from Hiro, they did engage in other small talk-she's ask about his newest microbot project, and he'd ask about how her mag-lev designs were innovating transportation. Amd while the affection hadn't returned, Hiro believed they had turned a corner and things were getting better.

And one day…it came crashing down. Hiro had seen Gogo off to work, before heading off to work himself. He was in the middle of a meeting when someone knocked on his office door. He opened the door, and said, "This had better be important."

The secretary said, "It's San Fransokyo General Hospital."

Hiro felt his throat tighten, and weakly said, "Thank you." He looked at the client, and excused himself. He picked up the phone, and said, "Hello?"

A voice spoke, "Is this Hiro Hamada?"

Hiro replied, "Yes, it is. What's going on?"

The voice replied, "We have admitted an 'L. Tanaka', who has you listed as 'Emergency Contact'."

Hiro heard 'L. Tanaka', and 'Emergency Contact' and was filled with dread. He weakly asked, "What's the problem?"

The voice replied, "That's not something we can discuss over the phone."

Hiro said, "I'll be there."

The drive to the hospital was one that filled Hiro with uncertainty and dread? What could have happened to Gogo? He arrived at the hospital, checked in, and was directed to a room where Gogo was lying down with an IV.

She saw him, and weakly waved, "Hey, Hiro."

At that, the dam that had been holding back Hiro's feelings broke. He rushed over to her, and grabbed her in a powerful embrace. Gogo was shocked, but returned the hug.

Gogo said, "Wow. You're making a huge fuss over me collapsing."

Hiro said, "You collapsed? How?"

Gogo said, "I just overworked myself, that's all."

Hiro said, "Look, Gogo. You don't need to play 'tough chick' all the time. You need to take it easy…" he paused.

Gogo said, "Why should I take it easy?"

Hiro, trying to find his voice, replied, "When the hospital called…I feared the worst. Despite everything we've been through…I couldn't bear to lose you."

Gogo was stunned. Despite how horribly she treated him, he was still willing to stay by her side. Hiro noticed her shoulders were hitching, and he could see the tears forming. He took her in his arms again, and Gogo cried-releasing emotions she had dammed up, as well.

Through the tears, she said, "I'm so sorry. You must think I'm the worst girlfriend ever."

Hiro said, "Well, not the worst. But I think I am due an explanation."

Gogo said, "Hiro…these last two years were incredible. And I can't justify how badly I treated you over the last few months. I don't…I don't blame you if you want to split up."

Hiro then said, "Gogo…all I ever wanted was for you to open up to me. I don't know what to think or how to react when you're hostile or silent. And don't think we're splitting up."

Gogo sniffled, then asked, "Really?

Hiro replied, "Really. No matter the issues or the problems, we will face them together."

Gogo exhaled, and thought, Then…this is it… She said, "So…whatever issues and problems, we'll face together?"

Hiro, with a heartwarming smile nodded.

"Hiro…I'm pregnant."

At that statement, Hiro's smile fell. Gogo, looking at Hiro's expression change, began to be filled with dread. When he found his voice, Hiro said, "When were you going to tell me?"

Gogo gulped, and replied, "I…I wasn't."

Hiro, shocked, sat on the bed and said, "Why not? This is something important. This is a big change."

Gogo said, "I know! But…" Hiro said, "But, what Gogo?"

Gogo said, "I felt that if I told you…you'd be forced to choose between your future…and this child and me. And I thought, you wouldn't want to give up everything you worked for to start a family."

Hiro was stunned-both by Gogo's announcement, and by the fact that she thought he would abandon her-and a child-for his future. Gogo sniffled again, and said, "It's happened before…"

Hiro asked, "What?" Gogo said, "There are lots of women who have children out of wedlock…and the men leave them. I was scared you'd do the same when you found out."

At that, Hiro felt hurt and angry. He took a couple of breaths to compose himself, then said, "And what about you? Riding high-speed vehicles isn't a career that's conducive to the health of a developing child."

Gogo replied, "Well…I was considering moving into my company's research firm. I'd be behind a desk...before I went on leave."

Hiro went silent. He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, then said, "I'll find someone and see if you can be discharged." He then left the room, and Gogo lowered her head.

Hours later, Hiro and Gogo returned to their apartment-and they were no closer to solving their dilemma. A few months ago, Hiro was on the verge of splitting up with Gogo. Now discovering that she was pregnant created a new set of problems. Now he couldn't leave her-and a child.

But Gogo had a point-was it fair to ask him to sacrifice everything he worked for to start a family? Hiro looked at Gogo-who after her revelation looked so vulnerable and uncertain-and in that moment, he recalled what he told his aunt-Her happiness is paramount to my own.

Hiro then said,"Gogo…I'm not going anywhere. You need me…and our child needs us." Gogo then said, "Hiro! But…what about your microbots? Your future?"

Hiro then stepped up to Gogo, and cradled her cheek. He leaned in and kissed her-softly, gently. He placed his hand on Gogo's abdomen, and said, "Gogo-this is my future. Our future. And there is no sacrifice that I would make for our child…or for you."

Gogo then hugged Hiro, and Hiro returned the hug, causing her to melt in his arms. She brought her mouth to his ear, and softly said, "Thank you…for not giving up on me."

Hiro smiled, and replied, "I love you…and I'll never give up on you." And in that moment, Gogo realized that no matter what happened-Hiro would always be there for her.
