Babysitting Part: Epilogue By: Reboo A/N: Ok, I apologize for the brief ending to the last part, I was doing it sort of rushed, but hopefully this will make up for that, and just a warning, some characters might be a little OOC, especially Relena, after all the death of long hair is involved. After dragging Noin off of Zechs Heero set off to calm down his fretting wife, who quickly stormed over to face her brother, and Noin, the supposed to be babysitter. "What do you think you were doing tying them up like that?" Heero cringed slightly at the volume of her vice, and stuck a hand on her shoulder to keep her rooted in one place so her anger could be kept from becoming violent, a trait of both the Peacecraft 'children'. Relena threw a death glare over her shoulder, but kept herself at a distance from the two oldest people in the room. "Would you like to know what I was doing?" Zechs spoke as calmly as he could, and he reached behind his head and grabbed his mutilated hair to show to his sister. "This is what I was doing." He jabbed a finger at his his hair. "I was trying to get revenge for what those little runts did to my hair. Look at it. Look at it Relena, its mutilated. Those terror children mutilated my hair." Duo looked from up from his position on the floor next to the kids, and Hilde, and laughed at the sight. It was hilarious, really, so not knowing how to contain himself Duo began to laugh. Hilde just stared at Zechs' hair, and then realizing the death glares being shot at her husband yanked on his braid. "Shut up baka," she hissed, "how would like it if they did that to your hair?" He immediately stopped, and grabbed his hair protectively, and sat back quite shocked at the idea of his precious hair being cut. Relena gasped, and stepped forward to touch her brother's hair. "Oh my gosh, it's gone." By now she was almost in tears at the site. Both Heero and Noin stifled an exasperated site at the melodrama, and took great restraints to refrain from slapping themselves in the head at the dumbness infront of them. Duh, of course his hair was gone, why hadn't she noticed that earlier. it's not like Zechs normally wore his hair up. What was the big deal with the hair anyway, it wasn't as if it wouldn't grow back. Zechs hid a smirk as his sister mourned the loss of his hair, maybe the little runts would actually get punished. Relena backed away, and took a timid look at the kitchen. "I guess we'll help you clean up. And that means you too!" she added pointing straight at the children and Duo. Murmurrings of disconsent immediately followed the statement, but everyone obligingly stayed and cleaned up the messy kitchen. Hours oafter the initial clean up started they filed out of the kitchen one by one and down the hallway until they crashed, exhausted on the plush living room furniture. "We need some music," Hilde muttered, "Go and stick some on will you Duo," she added giving him a shove off in the right direction. "I don't want to," he complained, putting on his best puppy dog face, but a stern look from his wife got him movingand he slwoly made his way to the sound system first turning the volume down and then hitting play for the current cd occupying the first slot in the rotation. Weird Al's Yoda song began to play throughout the room, and everyone groaned but no one moved to switch it, so it continued to play. Noin laid on the couch tuckered out from the day's events, Zech's arm slung around her shoulders, and her head resting on his shoulder when something came to mind. Something, no someone was missing from the little group. But who was it she wondered. Who? The realization of who it was hit her like a freight train coming straight on, and she jumped up in her tired state, and rushed up the stairs. The other occupants of the room turned to see her fleeing. "What's up with her?" "How should I know?" "She's you're babe." "Shut up Maxwell." "Well I'll go check up on her if you won't." "No you won't Duo Maxwell," Hilde said with an edge to her calm voice. "I'll kill you first." Duo gave her a defeated look, and Zechs walked slowly out to find out where Noin had gone to. Noin hurriedly opened the door with the key and rushed inside. Here was another room that was going to need cleaning. She hung her head in defeat, today had just gone all wrong. Little Dean was crying beneath the bed, obviously the little rascal wasnn't able to get out, but since the door was shut, and this room was two floors up no one would have been able to hear him, which was obviously the case. She crawled across the floor and lifted the crying baby from the whole underneath the bed. Dean promptly shut up, and she let him go, only to have him captured as he tried to flee the room. "Did you have to remember about him?" Zechs asked, as he winced as Dean's grimy little paws pulled on his already destroyed hair. "I suppose not, but oh well. Right. Duo can clean the mess up." "True." Carefully he handed back the kid, making sure no more of his hair was torn out. "We might as well bring him downstairs." "Ok." "Remind me to never have kids will you," she said as they exited the room. "I'll do that. After today I never want to see little kids again." "I completely agree. That was always one good thing about the militay." "No spoiled little brats." they said in unison, and they laughed. Noin released the Deaner boy as they reached the living room. "You have a lot of work to do Duo. Jason's room is a mess." Duo cringed. "Now Duo," Hilde said and pushed him off the couch. "We'll all be here when you're finished," and a reluctant Duo sulked his way out of the room. Zechs and Noin crashed on the empty couch, her head resting on his shoulder, and his head resting ontop of hers, as well as his arm wrapped around her shoulders. Within minutes they were asleep. "Awe. Isn't that cute," Relena cooed looking at the two adults asleep on the couch. "Now if only we could get them to go on a date," Hilde muttered. "Girls night to plan it," Relena suggested. "Alright." "But who's going to babysitt?" "Those two," Hilde said pointing at the couch. "Are you sure?" "Positive, and it'll be at my place." "Great, and we can have the guys out of the house as well." "Awesome." Heero groaned, hopefully their plan wouldn't go through, otherwise none of the kids might be living if a repeat of today happened. A/N: The end, ok i left myself open for a sequel,but quite frankly I don't like the ending of this epilogue, its seems a little shortshrifted,( is that the right usage for that phrase?) Anyways I liked the one lady's suggestions for a sequel, if anyone else has anything they'd like to throw my way feel free to do so. |
