A/N: Ummm...it starts out semi-humorous (and OOC!), but then it goes totally WAFF...n_n
"I've changed my mind, Relena," Heero said, frantically.
"About WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Relena screamed, holding on to her husband's hand tightly.
Desperate tears sprang to Heero's eyes, and he wailed, "I don't want to have a kid any more! Make it go awaaaaaaaaay!!!"
"You can't just up and decide that NOW, STUUUPIIID!!!"
If you haven't guessed by now, Mrs. Relena Yuy was in labor...
=============================================================================
It had all started a few hours ago, at 2:47am. Heero had woken up a few hours prior for a reason he couldn't fathom, but had, since then, gently rested his head on Relena's 8.5 month pregnant womb, feeling strong kicks every so often, and murmering dozens of half-remembered promises to his unborn child.
And then, Relena had woken up, sitting up so suddenly, that Heero had almost been dumped out of bed.
When he had looked up, Relena's face had been twisted in pain. The terror that seized his heart nearly froze the blood in his veins.
He didn't ask any questions, half-knowing what was going on. Without a second thought, he pulled her out of bed, hastily dressed them both, then sped to the hospital, nearly getting them killed on many separate occasions.
When they'd safely arrived at the hospital, Heero had threatened to kill any male doctor who had the gall to volunteer their help to aid the Vice Foriegn Minister to deliver her baby. There was no way in hell that Heero would let another man see her half-naked.
So, after a short phone call, Sally Po was dragged out of bed at 4am.
She wasn't very happy about it, but agreed nonetheless. It wasn't everyday that you were asked to deliver the child of the Vice Foriegn Minister and the man who'd saved the world.
=============================================================================
Relena screamed again, as another contraction hit.
Heero swayed on his feet. He felt seasick. No, wait, that wasn't right. You couldn't be seasick without the sea, could you?
Sally stepped over to him, and gently pried the couple's hands apart. Relena gripped the side of the bed in her husband's absence.
"Heero, it's almost time to catch the baby."
"Catch...the...baby...?" Heero mumbled, as he let Sally drag him around the bed.
Heero bravely took a look. His last conscience thought was: 'Okay. That's enough. WAY too much information.' His eyes crossed, and he hit the floor in a useless heap.
=============================================================================
Relena cried out one last time, then, her energy spent, she sank back down onto the bed, closing her eyes, and breathing heavily.
A moment later, she heard a baby crying.
Relena cracked open her eyes, just in time to see Sally walk over to her, carrying a small bundle in her arms.
"It's a beautiful baby girl," Sally said, over the baby's cries, handing Relena her infant daughter.
Relena pulled her child close, and stared at her with a mixture of awe and maternal pride.
The little girl in her arms quieted almost instantly. She opened her eyes, and stared back at her mother with a hazy, new-born vision.
"She has her father's eyes," Relena whispered. She looked over at her unconscious husband, and giggled.
"Will he be okay, Sally?" she asked, when her chuckles died down.
"Oh, he'll be just fine. Just a little stress, that's all. He'll wake up around noon, I suppose, just in time to bring you home."
Relena smiled, and her daughter cooed. The new mother kissed her daughter's forehead, and the little girl smiled, squirming angelically.
Sally smiled. "Have you thought up a name for her?"
Relena chuckled. "I promised Heero that he could name her."
"Well, then...just give me a call when he makes up his mind. I still have to write up the birth certificate. Just don't let him name her 'Wing' or 'Zero'!"
"If he even suggests such a name, I'll KILL him!"
=============================================================================
(Approximately 36 hours later...)
Heero rested his arms and chin on the edge of the crib, watching his daughter sleep peacefully.
One arm drooped low, and he gently ran his hand through the short, thin, blond tendrils of hair.
She was deep asleep, her chest rising and falling rhythmically. Wrapped up in her warm, pink blanket, she didn't even need a halo, harp, and wings, because she was already an angel.
An angel sent from heaven by God, her mission was to drive away the demons still residing in her father's heart.
If she could talk, she would say, "Mission: Accomplished," Heero supposed.
His fingertips left her scalp, and softly traced her jawbone. The baby stirred a little, but remained asleep. A sudden grin broke through Heero's serene expression.
"I love you..." Heero whispered. There was so much sincerity in his voice, that he didn't even think to doubt himself. "I love you, my daughter. My little angel..."
His. He'd never really owned something so precious before...
A pair of arms wrapped around his waist, and a feminine body pressed up against his.
Yes, Relena was his, too. And he was her's. God, what had he ever done to deserve these two precious angels delivered to save his soul...?
Heero withdrew his hand from his daughter's face, and he turned around to envelope his wife in a loving embrace.
Relena smiled against her husband's chest, and asked, "Heero, what is 'love'?"
Heero chuckled, remembering how confused and lost he had been during his boyhood. "This is love, Relena. This pure emotion that binds the hearts of family and friends together in an endless display of friendship and devotion."
Relena pulled Heero's face down low, and gave him a small, chaste kiss on the cheek. "I dare to say that you've grown up, Heero Yuy."
Heero leaned down and captured her lips. Pulling away, he replied, "I'm not the one who grew two inches during the last five weeks, Relena Yuy."
Relena poked him in the ribs, chuckling. "You're suck a dork, Heero." She smiled. "I came to ask if you've come up with a name for our daughter, yet."
Heero turned to the side, so Relena would have a better view. "Look at her, Relena. Whenever I see her, it's as if I can feel God forgiving my sins, one by one. My conscience...is clear."
Heero leaned over, and took his daughter's small hand in his.
"As she grows older, I believe that she will go on to save the souls of others like myself. There is only one proper name for our daughter. Her name is Kyusai."
Relena closed her eyes, and leaned deeply into her husband's embrace. "Yes, Heero. That is the perfect name for our little girl."
Heero savored the feeling of total peace that continued to flow through him. Had he ever been this happy? He was looking forward to the long years ahead, in which they would raise their daughter. He could tell that the happy times would abound.
Someday, they would even have a picnic in the park.
Author's Notes:
1. sniffle Isn't it so kawaii??? (Walks off to cry a little)
2. Kyusai is Japanese for 'salvation'. (It fits, no? n_n)
3. I know that Sally isn't REALLY a doctor, but it IS a possiblr career choice for her. Remember that this chapter is placed indefinitely in the future! Anything is possible...n_n
4. I have pity for those poor husbands who have to watch their wives go through childbirth. Man, it must be HELL! n_n
5. Once again, I'd like to encourage everyone to write side-stories! (Nin hides behind her lemon shield) No lemons, pleeeeease!!!! I'm only fifteen!!!!
6. ...There is no sequel for this. Three reasons: (1) I'm totally out of ideas, (2) this storyline is getting old...and cliche (brrrrr!), and (3) other story ideas are surfacing in my head! Like "Epilogue", for example. I'll bet you guys'll love that story line! n_n
7. I was planning to have some other characters make an appearance, but when I went to write it, those appearances had absolutely NOTHING to do with the story. ...Sorry...n_n
