Relena's body lurched forward to fall upon the green grass, staining it a beautiful crimson. Heero, for the first time in his life cried. As the tears streamed freely, he screamed, "NNNOOOOO!!!" He laid by her side to press his large hand into the wound. "Please, baby, don't leave me. I can't be here without you. Please," he whispered, still crying. She smiled up at him, caressing his cheek with her bloodied hand.
"Tenshi, I will be with you..." she pointed to his chest over his heart, "in here." She closed her eyes and her breathing slowed. He pressed his lips to her's in a silent promise. Her head lolled to the side as the paramedics arrived. His anguished cries pierced the very heavens. As she was carried away, his knees gave and he found himself lying in her blood... sobbing like a child. Duo shot into the woods where the shot came from. He then scooped Heero up into his arms and carried him to the car and followed the ambulance.

Xavier stumbled through the woods around the mansion, nursing his shoulder. He removed his hand looking at the bullet wound. "Hehehe, I got away. They can't catch me..." he looked up to see the headlights of a semi headed straight for him. *HONK, HONK!* 'Oh, shit, I got caught..." he thougth in his last moments on the earth. *SMACK!* Body parts flew. Somewhere a lone shadow with a meter long braid and a woman's figure smirked.
"Objective: Attained. Mission accomplished," she spoke before running back to the car and speeding off.

He woke in the waiting room of the Sank Metro Emergency Room. As he looked around he noticed the faces of his friends. There was Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, Hilde, Cathrine, and Sally. There in the corner sat Noin, comforting Zechs. Heero looked up to see Trin staring at him. He questioned her, "How long was I out?" She shrugged.
"A few hours. You were sedated because you were incosolable. We're still waiting for the doctor to tell us how she is," she paused, looking again at him. Surprise in his eyes. "We don't know if she'll make it yet or not. Zechs is hoping that she is alive," she stopped noticing the single tear slip down his cheek. She heard him to be a heartless, cruel monster. Once called the 'Perfect Soldier', he now seemed anything but. "She is really important to you, huh?" she glanced at him.
"She showed me there was more than killing to life. I fell in love with her. I just don't want to be alone. She is everything to me," he whispered. Trin rose and strode to his side. She knelt by him and looked into his eyes. She extended her arms and pulled him into her embrace. He didn't resist; he needed the comfort at the moment. The doctor emerged and looked at Heero.
"Mr. Yuy, may I speak to you?" he questioned. Heero nodded and followed him to the hallway. "I want to ask you something. Were you and the Vice Minister involved in any sexual activities?" Heero placed his emotionless mask on.
"Yes, a few times. Why?" he answered, nonchalantly.
"Because, young man, she was pregnant," he looked at Heero. His mask falling away.
"What do you mean, 'WAS'?" he questioned.
"Exactly that. She WAS pregnant, but she has lost the baby due to the shooting," he replied. "I am truely sorry, son. It was going to be a girl." He hung his head and left Heero in the hallway. He turned to look at the young man. "She will be fine though. She's alive," he spoke. Heero nodded and walked into the waiting room.
"Relena will be fine," he whispered, hanging his head, "but..." he paused, drawing in a breath. Zechs looked up, as well as everyone else in the room at the word 'but'. "She lost our child..." he collapsed. "She lost our daughter," he repeated. His hands shook. "OUR daughter," he let the tears fall. "I'm going to see her now," he whispered.
He walked the hallway to her room. She looked up at him and sighed. He looked saddened. "Darling what is wrong?" she questioned her lover. He sat down next to her bed and held her hand.
"Baby, you lost," he stopped to keep the tears in. He wouldn't let her see his tears. "You lost our baby," he concluded. She gasped, touching her stomach. "We were going to have a daughter. I was going to be a daddy and you'd be a mom and we'd have a little baby girl," he whispered, letting the tears fall freely. She fell into his arms and cried at the loss.
Zechs entered the room and looked at his sister and his archenemy in such a position. He approached the pair and sighed. Heero moved to allow the siblings a chance to speak. He retreated to the hall to see Duo and the others standing there.
"Man, Heero, I'm really sorry. I didn't know," Duo spoke to his best friend. Heero nodded. Duo just walked up and hugged him. Heero, surprisingly, returned the embrace only to have everyone hug him as well. He smiled at the understanding between them all. He turned and walked to the room holding his beloved. Duo whispered to Hilde, "Why did this have to happen?"
Heero turned his head and spoke, "Because, Duo, this is the way it is." He opened the door and entered to see the siblings embracing. He smiled. Zechs stood and shook Heero's hand. "I may not like you that much, but my sister does. I do, however, respect you and your love for my sister. I am so sorry for your loss," he spoke and exited the room.
Relena looked at him with a small smile on her face. "I wonder what she would have looked like..." she mused.

Trin clicked away on her laptop. She found more information on this 'Xavier Jackson'. She pulled up a file from a new terrorist group.
Group: Second Eve
Top officials: Derric Edmundson, Alei Scalzandasi, Xavier Jackson...
Known Objective: Obtain high rank in ESUN and eliminate Vice Foreign Minister Dorlain.
She paused. 'So that is what he was after,' she thought. There was a picture pulled up. There he was in all of his glory. Xavier. Smiling brightly. In the background was Relena at a peace conference. He held a gun in his hand, pointing it toward the stage she was on...
"HHHEEEEEERRROOO!!!"
