Welcomed Invasion

GW and its characters don\'t belong to me but to
Sunrise/SOSTSU Agency etc.

This is actually part 2 of Welcomed Invasion (and is subtitled Unexpected).
Still Rlena’s POV.

I wake up the next morning, alone, which doesn\'t really surprise me. This game
of Heero and mine\'s been going on for the five years since after the war. I
hat thi think what other women would say about me sitting idly by and waiting
on a man, letting him come and go as he pleased, with not even one word of
commitment from him, not even a tiny promise of fidelity. I g myg my shoulders.
Even if this is a one-sided love I\'m not ready to let go yet. Besides, there\'s
nothing for me besides work and that doesn\'t keep one warm at night. I knew the
circumstances and the sacrifices when getting involved with the assassin and I
accepted them.

Ih thh those thoughts out of my mind and turn on the shower too cold, too hot,
ah, just right. I step in carefully the shock of the heated water making me
shiver just for a second. But then suddenly it feels absolutely wonderful. I
tuck my chin to my chest and allow the water to run over me-the phone? It\'s
always the phone. I hop from the shower and grab my robe taking a quick
step-"Ouch!" I begin to cuss as I realize I\'ve stubbed my toe on the
door jam. Being ever so graceful I hop on my good foot and about stumble trying
to switch on the phone. I leave the view screen off. "What is it?" I
know my tone sounds harsh but I\'m not really in the mood for idle chitchat.

"Hello. Miss Dorlian? This is your doctor\'s office reminding you of your
home visit at 10:00 am this morning. The doctor shall arrive shortly."
"Thank you."

I slam the machine off. I had totally forgotten. I glance at my bedside clock
9:45.ot;Sot;Shit." I race back to the bathroom to finish my shower, but by
this time the hot water is gone and I must suffer in the cold.

I can\'t believe I was able to get showered and dressed in fifteen minutes but
somehow I did. I open the door and greet the doctor. He does the same in
return. He sits down in the chair that I offer him.

"So you\'ve come back with the results of my tests?"

"Yes Miss Dorland and I must say you are quite a perfect specimen of good
health." That is why I feel there is no reason for you not to be able to
have a full-term, healthy pregnancy and baby."

My mind clouds over. Did he just say what I thought he said? "Excuse me
doctor. There must be some mistake, I can\'t possibly be, pregnant." I\'m
almost laughing.

"The test results are very positive. I would say about two months
along."

"No, no, no. You don\'t understand. I\'ve been on birth control for like
ever. I\'ve never missed. I rarely have sex* bold-faced lie*. Are you sure my
tests didn\'t get mixed up, or lost or something?" Anything but this."

He looks at me with disappointment and sighs. "If you do not wish to keep
the child there are means by which we can alter the situation." He hands
me a card. Call this number. They\'ll have plenty of answers to any questions
you might have."

I take the card totally stunned, unsure of what to say or think. I show him to
the door and thank him, for totally telling me something that screws up my
entire life. I lean against the door and begin to cry. What am I going to do?
What will Heero say?" I collapse on top of my bed. It is all coming back
to me- the nausea, dizziness and my favorite pair of jeans fitting a little to
snug; now it all makes sense. The flue, fatigue, weight gain, anything normal,
but this, this was totally unexpec My My tears arginnginning to hurt my eyes
and I feel so tired, so light-headed. I need to sleep.
