Part 2

The next morning, Trowa was the first to wake up. He yawned as he walked
down the stairs, but as soon as he got to the living room, he stopped
short, and stared. After a few seconds, he ran back up the stairs and woke
up Quatre.

Quatre went down the stairs, and as soon as he got to the living room he
giggled, and went to go find a camera. On the couch was Wufei, still
asleep, and on top of his chest was Lien, asleep on her stomach, with one
hand clutching his shirt, and the other thumb in her mouth. 

All of the pilots were awake, and were in the kitchen eating breakfast,
when Wufei finally woke up. Of course, he didn't wake up on his own. He
woke up to something bouncing on his chest.

He opened his eyes, and yelled as soon as he saw huge brown eyes an inch
away from his own. The thing with the brown eyes squealed, and it
scrambled to get away. Lien got as far as his thighs before Wufei realized
it was her, and grabbed her before she fell off the couch. The baby looked
at him warily, afraid he would yell again.

Wufei laughed at the suspicious look on her face, and said, "Li-chan, I
think we had better go change your diaper, or better yet, give you a bath.
You still have baby food on your shirt."

As Wufei passed by the kitchen to go up the stairs, he caught a few
seconds glimpse of a scene that made his heart do a flip flop. Inside were
Heero and Duo, talking. Duo was standing in front of Heero, hands playing
with the ends of his braid, looking like he was confessing something to
Heero, and Heero was leaning against the counter, arms crossed on his
chest. Wufei wondered absently what he was telling the Japanese boy...

Wufei had the baby undressed, and was about to put her in the tub, when
she realized what was happening. She began to squirm, making her hair fall
out of her ponytail and around her face. It came down to just below her
shoulders, in a thick black wave. She pushed it back with small chubby
hands, and began fighting Wufei the whole way into the tub.

As soon as her feet touched the water, she shreiked and tried to curl up
into a ball, only succeeding in making it easier for Wufei to get her into
the bath. Finally, she just sat in the water, and crossed her arms,
pouting because she had lost. But as soon as Wufei turned his back to go
get the baby shampoo from the room, she was out of the tub, crawling
across the floor and into the hallway.

She crawled down the hall, still nakie, and was about to crawl down the
stairs when she heard noises coming from a room. She crawled over to the
room, and paused in the door-way taking in the scene.

Inside sat Duo on his bed, his back against the wall, knees pulled up to
his chest, head buried in his arms. His shoulders shook with what was
either sobs or laughter, but from the occasional quiet cry, they were most
likely sobs. Lien watched this , eyes slowly widening, taking in the whole
scene. She crawled up to the bed, and carefully hoisted herself up to a
standing position, supported by the bed.

It took Duo a few seconds to actually hear the noise the baby was making.
He looked up to see the small Chinese child grunting, trying to pull
herself up on the bed. She wasn't making much progress, other than making
her face go pink then red. He laughed, wiped some of the tears off his
face, then reached over, and plopped the baby in his lap.

Lien sighed, happy that her trial was over and her goal achieved. Duo
smiled at her through tear-filled eyes, and said, "Look at you, you're wet
and naked. Did you escape from Wufei? He must be worried by now, if he
knows you're gone."

Lien ignored Duo's talking, and studied his face. The look of
concentration on her face suddenly made her look just like Wufei, and for
some reason, Duo felt a little better at having a reminder of the Chinese
boy here. Out of all the pilots, Duo considered Quatre his best friend,
but he knew that Wufei would be the one he'd run to for advice or when he
felt bad. And right now, Wufei was just what he needed, although Duo was
loathe to have the pilot see him crying.

The baby tilted her head, and reached up with one hand to touch a tear had
escaped from Duo's eyes. She pulled her hand back to look at it, and then
looked straight into Duo's eyes. Duo's breath caught at the sight of her
gorgeous brown eyes, eyes so dark they were almost black...just like some
one elses...

Lien gurgled for a second before words managed to come out. "Da-ee fee'
bat?" She kept her eyes on Duo's, a concerned look in them. Duo paused a
moment, trying to decifer her words. Then a look of wonder came over his
face. 

"Does Daddy feel bad?" he asked the child, his hold on her tightening just
the slightest bit. He pointed to himself, saying, "Me? Daddy?"

Lien nodded. Duo felt a kind of joy he had not imagined possible. Lien
thought he was her Daddy! Lien thought she was his child! 

He laughed, a free sound that was so different from his sobs from earlier.
He picked up Lien, and lifted her high up above him, and smiled at her.
The baby squealed and waved her arms and legs, happy because her Daddy was
happy.

*~*~*~*~*

Meanwhile, her Papa wasn't so happy. He had come back to the bathroom to
find the bath tub empty, and now he was walking swiftly down the hall,
trying to find the little one.

He almost walked by Duo's room, when he heard Lien squeal. He peaked in,
and he heart immediatley lightned by what he saw there. Duo was holding
Lien up in the air, laughing, and Lien was giggling and squirming. They
looked so natural together....so.....*right*....

Wufei could have stood there forever, if the baby hadn't caught sight of
him. She immidiatley began to squeal, her eyes shining.

"Papa! Papa!" Wufei laughed, and went to Duo, taking the squealing baby
into his arms. "Little one, you need to finish your bath."

The baby frowned. "No baf."

"Yes, bath."

"No baf."

"*Yes*."

"*No*."

Duo watched them argue, and began to laugh. It was just to *cute*.

Wufei, grinned and looked at Duo, but the grin quickly turned into a look
of concentration like that of Lien's. Were Duo's eyes puffy and red? Were
those really tear tracks down his face? What was going on?

Duo noticed Wufei's look, realizing what he must be seeing, and
self-conciously swiped at his face. Wufei saw this, saw the look of shame
on Duo's face, his emmbarassment, and decided now was not the time for
questions. Duo would come to him on his own, when something was bothering
him, he always came to Wufei for advice, since Wufei would give his answer
in a detached, logical way. 

Wufei smiled, and Duo's heart lept. The Chinese boy said, "Come, Lien
needs to finish her bath, and I need some help. Can you get me some
clothes and a diaper, please." Duo smiled back and nodded, following Wufei
out the door.

*~*~*~*~*

Finally, after the incredible amount of splashing and squirming the baby
managed to do, the 2 pilots had her dry and dressed. She sat on the bed,
playing with her ducky that Wufei had bought her. Unlike Lien however, the
boys didn't make it out of the bathroom with out at least half their
clothing wet.

Wufei sighed, looking down at his tank top. It was soaked! At least his
pants were dry...mostly. His knees were wet, from kneeling by the tub. He
looked at Duo, and saw that Duo's black over-shirt was soaking wet.

Duo looked down, and grinned. "Ah, well, its not so bad. I'll just take it
off, and let it dry. You might as well take off your shirt, so that it can
dry as well." Wufei nodded, this sounded reasonable enough, and began to
pull his shirt up.

Duo watched with out meaning too, his eyes wide, his mouth gone dry.
Wufei's chest was smooth, slim, and a nice bronze color. It had the taut,
muscular look, that came only for strenuous labor, and Duo found it
incredibley sexy....

*~*~*~*~*

*dramatic music* 

Bwahaha, I'm not gonna finish the scene until the next part. 

Duo: You know, you're gonna have some mad writers on your ass until you
finish this.

Moon: *grins*

Wufei: *blinks* My chest is sexy?

Moon: O yes...and I know of one braided pilot who especially thinks so...

Duo: *blushes*

Moon: Awwww, he's blushing! Look, look! Aww, he's turning even redder!!!

Duo: *whacks her across the back of her head*

hugs n stuff~
