Chapter Sixty-two: Pregnancy + +
Duo sighed and leaned back on the bed and glared at Heero who was leafing through papers in the bed across from him in the hospital room. “It’s not fair.” Duo growled as he shifted once more. “I have nothing to do and Wufei won’t be here for another hour.” He shifted to ease the tension on his belly.
Heero peered at him over the rims of his glasses and smirked. “It isn’t my fault you didn’t think to bring something to do with you.”
“I did, but Wufei wouldn’t let me. He said that I needed to relax and not get frustrated over anything.”
Heero rolled his eyes. He had already heard this complaint several times. “How am I supposed to relieve you of your unwanted boredom?” Heero asked dryly. “This is work from Preventers. I can’t let you look at it.”
“Actually…” Duo slowly grinned at Heero. “Yes you can because I am an on call agent. Regulations chapter 28, reg 28567, index 98-24; states that all on call agents may work any hours at any time they are available.” Duo looked at him with a huge grin.
Heero threw up his hands with a scowl. He pressed a button to call the nurse. “I should have known you knew all the regs.”
He looked over as the door opened to the nurse. “Could you move my bed so that I may work with the assistance of my companion.” Heero ordered/requested of the woman. “Just have me pushed over so that we are facing each other and put the table over his bed so we can work face to face.”
The nurse chuckled. “I was told to expect this. You lasted longer than they thought.” She waved to someone in the hall and waited a moment as two orderlies entered the room. “Mr. Yuy requested that his bed just be pushed toward Mr. Maxwell so that his feet are towards the head of the bed.” The orderlies did as ordered as the nurse moved the tray/table over Duo’s lap. “I was told that Mr. Maxwell would have you doing this three hours ago at least.”
Heero and Duo glared in offended outrage at the nurses words.
“I am not that predictable!” Duo sneered with outrage crossing his arms with a pout.
Heero gave a quirk of his lips and placed a folder on the table in front of the other man.
Duo blinked and dived forward.
He worked his way through the folder going over the information and making notes on a pad of paper Heero provided. He stripped the notes and fastened them to the information and passed it to Heero before grabbing another folder. He didn’t know how long he had been working for before the murmur of voices caught his attention. He lifted his eyes from his notes and found Wufei in a chair going through the files that Heero and himself had already both gone through. He shrugged as they murmured over the notes and information diving back into the file he was currently going over.
Heero and Wufei watched as Duo went over the files with meticulous ease. Picking apart little things that would presently not have mattered but in the future bit them in the ass. Wufei admired the quick wit of the notes in the file. There were even things that Heero hadn’t noticed. And Heero usually noticed all that was to be noticed. Only Une had been able to pick up on the little things that Heero didn’t see and even she wouldn’t have noticed all of this.
The two newly impregnated men couldn’t leave before they were okayed by Dr. Cronkle. They worked away at the files as they waited. Heero and Wufei murmuring about what should be done according to the information Duo had added in the notes he provided.
Duo had almost finished with the last file when Dr. Cronkle entered the room. He stopped and smiled wryly at the sight of the two beds pushed close together. He wouldn’t have any trouble inspecting his work. “Well gentlemen lets get this over with and see if you can go home to your overly protective families.”
Duo looked up and frowned. “Check Heero first. I want to finish this.” He murmured already looking back at the information in the file.
Wufei looked up in surprise. He had thought that Duo would be bouncing to get out of there. It seemed that Duo took his work very seriously.
Heero shrugged and nodded for the doctor to come and check him out. He wanted out of here. Even if Duo was being unexpectedly pragmatic about work. But then again he had never seen Duo when he was working so he wouldn’t know if this was actually normal or not. He pulled up the shirt he was wearing to allow the doctor access to his lower abdominal area.
Dr. Cronkle hmmmed and pocked the area checking it carefully. He finally moved his hands away and allowed Heero to pull down his shirt. He picked up a doctors medical file and wrote in it quickly. “You’re good to go Mr. Yuy. I would like to see you a week after your honeymoon. So September 22, 202.”
Heero pulled a pocket scheduler out and put in the appointment date. “I’ll be here.” He promised before he started to put the files away in his briefcase. He noticed the last file on the pile and blinked as Duo shifted and allowed the table to be moved down to look at his lower abdominal as well.
Wufei had noticed that Duo had finished the last file quickly and was moving to allow better access to his body. He moved to help and hovered at Duo’s side as the doctor again hmmmed and pocked the area of the incision that was opened to place the uterus and fertilized egg within.
“So what do you think Doc?” Duo asked as he waited for the man’s opinion. “Can I go home if I promise to behave for the next ninety-two hours?”
Dr. Cronkle couldn’t help the teasing he said in response. “I don’t know. You have a reputation of getting in trouble.”
Duo gave his patented pout and batted his eyes endearingly to the doctor. “I promise not to leave home without an escort of at least two adults.” He promised solemnly. “Cross my heart and hope to die.”
Wufei rolled his eyes and glared at the doctor. “Is he allowed to go home or not? Otherwise you will be having me stay here with him until you allow him to go home.”
Dr. Cronkle rolled his eyes and grinned as he wrote in the medical file for Duo. “Mr. Maxwell can go home. I want you back on the same day as Mr. Yuy. But both of you remember to take it easy for the next few days. Don’t over do it and get plenty of rest.” He picked up both files and moved to leave the room. “I’ll have a nurse bring some wheelchairs and orderlies to assist you to your vehicle.”
Duo groaned he hated wheel chairs. But he was going home so he would put up with it. He shifted his legs over the side of the bed to find comfortable pajama bottoms being pulled up his legs quickly and efficiently. He smiled lovingly at Wufei and turned to find Heero easing into a sitting position beside him. He was going over the last folder that he had given to him.
Heero looked over at him with a frown. “How do you notice these things?” He asked pointing out the indiscretion Duo had found.
“It didn’t add up.” Duo took the folder and slowly pointed out the little things where two plus two added up to twenty not the regular four.
Heero’s eyes widened as he began to see the picture that Duo was pointing out to him. He reread it and saw all the little things that pointed out more of a problem than he had first thought was there. Quatre and Wufei were able to do this but were unable to show him how they did so. Duo it seemed was much better at explaining it.
“All you have to do is use strategy to see it. Think of it as a chess board. Find the pieces and see where they are supposed to belong and where they actually are.” Duo explained to him. “If that doesn’t work for you look at it as a role playing army game. Place the troops out and find where they should be according to the info you’ve got and see where they should be. Or crime scene investigation. It works the same way as that as well.”
Heero slowly grinned and flashed Duo a brilliant smile. This he could understand. It was easier to see the whole picture when you knew what it was supposed to look like and figuring out why it wasn’t looking like it.
The two looked up as a voice cleared beside him.
“Would you like to go home now or stay here for a few days?” Wufei asked as he held a wheelchair ready for Duo to move into.
Duo gave him a sappy grin and accepted the help from the orderly into the awaiting vehicle. Heero doing like wise for the nurse holding the chair for him.
Heero looked over and up at Wufei. “Why didn’t you ever explain how you did it like Duo did?” He asked the other asian man. “It is much easier to understand with how he explained it.
Wufei sighed as he maneuvered the chair to follow the nurse out of the room.
“Yeah Fei, why not?”
“Duo!” Wufei growled down at his lover. “I never thought of it that way. I thought of it in an accounting way. Or a records way of things.”
Heero and Duo both rolled their eyes at the explanation.
“Now I know why you couldn’t figure it out. No one thought of how you would normally see the picture of what you were reading.” Duo frowned at the idea. “How come Annie couldn’t explain it to you? You’d think she would see it.”
“I think she thought I didn’t think it was important and left it that way so she could decide on her own what to do with the information she had.” Heero pondered as he was wheeled toward the waiting vehicle. He shrugged absently. “I can’t say as I blame her.” He sighed as the door was opened for him. “I can’t wait to get home and see Alex. He finally comes home today. I am also glad that we got the elevator so we don’t have to climb all those stairs.”
“I hear you there.” Duo muttered remembering the trouble he had only a few months before. “I can’t wait to see what Alex thinks of his new room either. I hope he has a field day. I think we surprised the person with recommendations about wheelchair access…” Duo grunted as Wufei helped him shift into the front passenger seat of the car. “You guys had everything so open and airy in the first place that we didn’t have to do much to make it safe for him.”
“I know.” Heero sighed as he accepted the pillow to hold over his middle before he was buckled into his seat.
“It just made the hectic schedule we are on easier. Between the wedding and New Haven planning it worked out for the best that way.” Wufei murmured joining the conversation as he slid behind the wheel. “Well lets go home and see what Alex thinks of his new home and his new friend that Quatre and Trowa took him to find.” Wufei added in a mutter that was almost inaudible to the other men. “I just hope that Quatre took me seriously about only bringing one more animal home. The place is beginning to look like a bloody zoo.”
Duo laughed and Heero chuckled at the words.
“Home James and don’t spare the horses.” Duo prompted.
“Yes Master.” Wufei answered promptly as he shifted the car into gear and pointed it towards home.
