Sally heaved herself onto her feet nearly overturning the table she used for leverage. Cursing slightly under her breath she waddled over to the desk to look for the palm pilot containing her address book. She groaned as she dropped it on the floor, bending over cautiously so as not to overbalance. Mission accomplished, she returned to the sofa and the phone alongside it. She was very glad that the human gestation period was not as long as an elephant's, the feeling of being unbalanced, the swollen ankles and the difficulty moving were all things she could cope with. It was the mixture of nervous anticipation and lonely boredom at home on Maternity leave that was sending her out of her mind.
She typed in the number and waited for the connection to Mars grinning slightly when Zechs answered, “Dr Po, hello, good to hear from you, it is not often we hear from Earth.”
“Hi Zechs, how are you guys? Are the little ones doing alright?”
“We’re all fine thank you, Daniel is just about to start school next month and Emily is just starting to walk, I see that your family is growing well.”
Sally laughed placing a hand on her belly, surprised at the uncharacterisitic joke “Yes Zechs the family is growing just fine.”
“I suppose you would like to speak to Lu?”
“Yes please, thank you Zechs.”
She waited for a minute as Zech’s face disappeared and listened to the sounds of shuffling as he and his wife swapped places. Lucretzia Noin's face lit up as she took in her friend “Sally, how are you? I got your message about the baby of course but it’s been so long since we’ve actually spoken.”
Sally grinned at her former partner “Yes I know, as I am at home now, going out of my mind, on Maternity leave and it’s evening there on Mars I thought I’d ring and say hi.”
“It’s great to hear from you. How are you? How’s the baby?”
“I’m fine, the baby’s also fine she seems to like to using my kidneys as a football but otherwise we get on just fine. It’s Wufei and the others who are driving me nuts, I swear they barely let me cut up my own food at the moment, you would think the poor girl had five Dads not one.”
“Well I suppose it isn’t likely that any of the others will have any, so they have to adopt yours instead.”
Sally scowled “Well not unless the doctors really did do some major modifications on them.”
“Sally! That's just disturbing.” Noin laughed “At least you know she will be well protected. With all those Gundam Pilots as Godfathers. Her poor friends.”
“Never mind the friends, I pity her first boyfriend can you imagine the security checks, the poor boy will have to endure.”

Sally had fallen in love all over again, the moment the midwife placed her daughter into her arms she knew that her life would never be the same again. She tore her eyes from the baby to look up at her hovering husband smiling wearily, lifting her arms up to pass him their daughter “Here Meilan, this is your Daddy. You pay attention now, and you’ll have him wrapped round your finger in no time, he’s a real softy under the angry exterior.”
Sally watched the awestruck Wufei as he stared down at the baby babbling to her in whispered Mandarin that Sally was too tired to catch completely, or to try to translate. Wufei seemed mesmerised a strange look on his face caught somewhere between wonder and terror, Sally laughed at the thought of the Gundam Pilot who willingly threw himself into battle against any odds terrified of a baby.
The family tableau was interrupted by a knock on the door and Duo stuck his head round “Is it safe to come in?”
Sally grinned “Yes Duo it’s safe to come in, what were you expecting a troop of mobile dolls.”
Duo laughed making his way over to where Wufei was holding his daughter “So this is little Meilan.” He breathed reverentially before adding “She looks kind of gloopy, and her heads a funny shape.”
Sally scowled slightly but explained that was normal after the trauma of delivery and Duo returned to hanging over Wufei’s shoulder staring at Meilan, waggling his fingers in her face.
“Hello sweetheart, I’m Duo and I’m going to be your favourite Uncle. I’m going to take you places and teach you all the best ways to make your Dad mad. He’s very funny to provoke he goes this great shade of red and splutters.”
Wufei reached out casually with one hand pushing him away “You will not be teaching my daughter any such thing, I’m not going to have you corrupting her.”
“Hey” He called out indignantly “Well in that case I’ll teach her proper life skills like how to pick locks, or escape the police.”
Sally cleared her throat “No thank you, stick to teaching her how to hide her Dad’s Sabre or tell sarcastic jokes please.”
Duo grinned at Wufei “See I have permission now, Sally agrees with me. You listen to your Mummy now sweetie she’s a very clever woman, unlike your Dad.” He stuck out his tongue before skipping back out of reach “OK you guys stay here, I’m going to tell the others they can come in. They ‘didn’t want to disturb you’ for some strange reason, but we need photos with everyone in.”
Soon the room was full of Gundam pilots crowding round the baby and making cooing noises, Sally lay back exhausted but happy grinning at the sight of her extended family. Quatre broke off from the group as Duo started pointing at her nose declaring it looked like Heero’s leaving the rest of the group to scowl at him for the stupid remark.
“Hey Sally, how are you feeling?”
Sally smiled tiredly at him “Quatre, can’t you tell I thought you were an empath?”
Quatre grinned “With the amount of sugar and caffeine Duo’s consumed waiting for this I doubt I could feel a nuclear explosion above the buzzing.”
“I’m fine Quatre, a little tired, but just look at her isn’t she worth it.” Sally raised her voice slightly “Now if I could just get her back from the hordes of kidnapping Gundam pilots.”
Duo interrupted “You sure this is Wufei’s baby?” A strange moment of total silence descended as each of the adults stared at Dup as if he had two heads “Look see she has Heero’s nose and Trowa’s ears and look at the chin just like Quatre. She’s obviously a Gundam baby, lets just hope she’s inherited my wit and intelligence.”
Sally glared as Wufei spluttered in the background not quite willing to let go of his daughter so he could kill Duo for the insult. Heero sighed stepping between his Preventers partner and his domestic partner (just in case), whilst Quatre blinked in confusion at the suggestion.
“Duo, you’re clearly completely blind, she couldn’t look any more like Wufei if she was a clone.” Trowa pointed out blandly
Wufei looked down again at the Meilan “Maybe, but she has her Mother’s eyes.”
