Royal Affairs Epilogue
Quatre tried very hard not to chuckle out loud. Trowa sat next to him holding his hand and talking quietly with Wufei. To Quatre's other side sat one of the queens of the Eastern Lands. Both she and Quatre were watching Heero pace back and forth in front of the door to his Bedchambers. Behind the door Duo, Treize and Solo were busy. Zechs sat on the other side of the queen, he looked ready laugh.
A year and half had past since Quatre had driven off the cliff and landed in the new land. He and Trowa were quite happy together. Quatre had never been happier and Trowa loved to supply him with books that told of all things of the land. Quatre in turned told Trowa stories about where he had come from.
Heero had taken Duo back home with him and had bonded soon after their returned. Heero's mothers had loved Duo and took him under their wings. The Second Queen took a real liking to Duo and help train him for the role as Royalty. She even helped Duo keep in touch with Trowa, by teaching him reading and writing.
Quatre's eyes followed Heero as he paced by again. The queen next to him sighed and shook her head. Trowa's hand squeezed Quatre's hand. Quatre looked at him and smiled. Heero then passed by again.
The queen sighed again. "Son, would you please stop pacing?"
Heero stopped and looked at her. "They won't let me in." Heero nearly growled.
"Yes well I wouldn't want you in there the way you are acting."
Heero's eyes widen. "Mother?"
The queen stood and went over to Heero. "You are too nervous. Everything will be fine. If you were in there you would only be in the way. I'm sure Treize knows what he's doing."
"But what if something goes wrong?" Heero whispered.
"Have faith that Duo is strong."
"Listen to your Mother." The First Queen stood behind the second. "She knows what she's talking about."
The door opened and Solo came out all eyes where on him, and leaned against the doorframe.
"Well?" Heero asked.
Solo shook his head and Heero's face filled with terror. Then Solo smiled. "Damn, my brother can make some cute cubs."
Heero shot past him and into the chambers. Duo lay on the bed sleepily he smiled brightly as Heero came to his side. "Duo?" Heero cupped Duo's cheek.
"Hi Heero." Duo whispered. "They're beautiful, and so tiny."
"They?"
"He had twins." Treize walked up with one of the babies and handed one to Heero. "Carefully now the head must be supported. There you go." Treize stepped away and left the three alone.
"Where's the other one?" Heero asked looking down at the small baby in his hand.
"He's cleaning them up." Duo's hand came up to brush against the baby's cheek. "He's beautiful, Heero."
Heero looked at Duo. "Yes, just like you." Duo smiled. "How are you?"
"Tired."
Treize came back with the other baby. "They are both healthy cubs. And Duo will be fine, Heero." Treize sat down on the edge of the bed. "They're both boys but I can't tell if one of them is a birther or not. I'm sure we'll know in a few years."
"Thank you." Heero said.
Treize raised an eyebrow. "No thank you needed. I would never miss the birth of my grandsons. Besides who else would come and help a Ca'line noble have a child?"
"What do we call them?" Duo asked, his eyes were closed.
Heero looked down at the baby in his arms. "Can we name one Odin?"
Treize looked at Heero. "Odin?"
"The man who fathered me was named Odin. He died before my mother knew she was pregnant. To keep the treaty she was forced to married the First Queen. Odin was her brother."
"That's sweet." Duo mumbled and snuggled closer to Heero.
"And the other?" Treize asked.
"Trient, that was Trowa's father's name." Duo mumbled. "He was a good man."
Treize smiled. "Then it is a good name. Odin and Trient Yuy."
"Um... can we come in?" Quatre's blond head poked in.
Duo chuckled. "Quatre still has no sense of royal ways."
Quatre frowned. "That's not true."
Duo's eyes brighten. "You have to see the cubs."
Quatre dragged Trowa in with him and to the bed. "Ah they're so cute. Look at them Trowa."
"Very nice Duo." Trowa smiled.
"I do believe my son had some help in this." The First Queen said standing next to Heero.
"My apologies, Your Majesty."
Treize cleared his throat. "It is my honor to present Odin and Trient Yuy, my grandsons."

"They were beautiful babies." Quatre said as he crawled into the bed.
Trowa smiled and pulled Quatre to him and leaned over. "Want to try for some?" Trowa asked with a husky voice.
"Um... Trowa I can't have babies."
Trowa grinned. "Doesn't mean we can't try." He then leaned in and kissed Quatre.
~*~
"Quatre wake up, you're going to be late for school."
Quatre's eyes snapped open and he sat up in bed. "No." He whispered as he looked around his room. His old room the one he thought he had left behind for good. "No, Trowa..." Tears stung his eyes as he realized that everything was a dream.
Quatre walked towards his classroom in a daze. Everything had been a dream. Trowa wasn't real and didn't love him. Duo never gave birth or even existed. The past two years had been a dream. His heart hurt and he felt sick.
He sat in class and watched the teacher drone on about their lesson. He heard nothing. The door to the room open and the principal came in with a new student. Quatre's eyes widen, it was Trowa. His Trowa, everything was the same.
The teacher had Trowa sit next to him. Quatre would have said something but class started again. All through class Quatre wanted to say something but what. Telling Trowa that they had fallen in love with each other in his dream wasn't going to work. Trowa didn't say anything or would even look at him.
Trowa left quickly after the class was dismissed. Quatre sighed and packed up his books and head out. Quatre walked slowly back to his house. The place he thought he had escaped from forever. He wanted to go back to the others. He was suddenly pulled by the arm into an alley.
"Let me go." Quatre yelled. A hand brushed his cheek. Quatre looked into familiar green eyes and a fall of brown bangs. "Trowa..."
"Come back to me, my love." Trowa leaned forward and kissed him.
Quatre closed his eyes and leaned into the kissed. He was home with his love.
~*~
Trowa Barton King of his lands started down at the coffin in front of him. His gray eyes betrayed nothing of what he was feeling. He had walked beside the coffin as it made its way from the royal bedchambers to the Barton Family Tomb. His step never faltered, even though in his heart he was dying. They stopped as the coffin halted. This is where he had to speak, even though he didn't think he could.
King Trowa Barton stood straight and turned to look at those who followed. "Today we put to rest a joyful soul. He brought joy to my uncle's life. He brought j.... joy to me." Trowa closed his eyes. "He was more than an uncle.... he was one of my fathers..."
A hand laid on the King's shoulder. Two half Ca'lines stepped forward. One with short wild brown hair and violet eyes stepped forward. "Today we put to rest Quatre Barton, a king to this land and father and uncle and dear soul."
The other Ca'line stepped forward, he had bright cobalt blue eyes and long brown hair pulled back in a ponytail. "We lay him to rest next to his beloved and the late King Trowa Barton the First. May they might in the next world and continue their love."
All was silent as the coffin was pushed in to lie next to another coffin.
