Magic in Sanq Part 1
Heero smiled contentedly as he watched Kitty flittering about the bedroom.
Duo was another story altogether. "Ummm... are you SURE this will work, mom?"
Kitty paused like she always did whenever Duo called her 'mom' and she smiled over at the young man. "Yes, love. It will work. Are you sure that you want to do this? It will be a big change."
Heero nodded as Duo looked to him. "The two of us have talked about it, and decided we were ready for this."
What they were ready for was starting a family. They had had long discussions, and were looking into properties near the Wizarding school in Sanq. During the discussion, Duo had volunteered to be the bearer since the spell to ensure pregnancy would involve turning one party into the opposite gender.
On other words... if successful, Duo would be a girl from the time of fertilization until a month after the baby was born. Duo's only concern was that Heero wouldn't find him desirable as a girl.
Heero knew better, and had reassured Duo that he would love his long-haired spouse even if Duo were a whomping willow.
So now Duo was standing in a circle wearing nothing but a robe which would have to come off as soon as the clouds parted so the light of the full moon shone upon him.
Kitty had a vial of a sickly green colored potion and her wand. She caressed Duo's hair in order to soothe him, but knew only Heero could do that. Unfortunately, the rules of the spell dictated that only the castor and the target were to be in the circle.
The clouds parted and the moon shone in brightly as the clock downstairs started chiming.
"Drink this quickly, dear, or you'll have to wait another month!" Kitty handed the vial to Duo.
Duo removed the robe he was wearing... knowing this was no time for being shy. He downed the contents of the vial and made a face. "BLEH!"
"I know dear... now..."
Heero couldn't quite hear the word that Kitty said from his vantage point, but he knew it had worked from the glow that illuminated from Kitty's wand and enveloped Duo. Heero was on his feet the instant the potion and spell started working. Kitty HAD warned both of them that there would be pain involved due to Duo's body changing inside and out. It took everything in his power to wait until Kitty nodded before he ran over to hold his beloved Duo.
Kitty winced at Duo's first pained whimper. "I placed a silence spell on this room. It's bad enough for me to know that I am the cause of his pain, I couldn't bear to hear him."
Heero nodded quickly and simply cradled Duo as the first soft whimpers started to escape. He knew there was nothing he could do, but he had to be there. He concentrated on keeping Duo as comfortable as possible as Duo's body started changing.
"My poor little duck." She kissed Duo's brow.
Heero sighed as Duo bit his lip. "He won't scream if you're here."
Kitty nodded. "I'll be downstairs. Now... if this doesn't work tonight, Duo will be a boy again come morning. I'll go now. Please... come down, both of you, when the transformation is complete so I can give both of you the fertility potion that will increase the chances the two of you have."
Heero watched as Kitty left the room. Once the door was shut, he held Duo close as the first scream escaped.

Howard watched Katrina flit about the kitchen. To be honest, he knew that no one in the household would be getting much sleep. "So many potions and spells." He shook his head. "But it'll be worth it if it works."
Katrina sighed and looked towards the stairs. "Our poor boy. I truly hope this does work. They have their hearts so set on it." She smiled warmly. "They're already working on names... even planning on the possibility of twins." She went back to mixing a potion with a chuckle. After what seemed like hours of mixing, they both looked at the sound of the upstairs door closing.
Katrina poured the potions into two crystal flutes and waited for Heero.
Howard approached Heero and pulled the corner of the blanket aside to gaze at the result. He smiled warmly as Duo's eyes fluttered open. "How're ya feeling, kid?"
"Tired. It didn't hurt that much that time O punched me." Duo swallowed and frowned at the new alto voice. Duo's face was still heart-shaped, but the cheeks were higher, and the eyebrows had a more delicate arch. "How do I look?"
Heero answered that question. "You are beautiful as always." Heero brushed hair away from Duo's face and smiled tenderly before sitting down still holding his precious lover.
Kitty approached them and handed them the flutes. "Stamina, Fertility, Energy... well... everything you asked for to... how did Duo put it?"
Howard snorted. "I think the kid's exact words were 'Stay up all night and boink like bunnies'." He nodded to Kitty. "I'll be right back." He headed upstairs to make the master bedroom ready for the young couple.
Katrina flushed as Heero smirked down at Duo.
"I didn't REALLY say that, did I, Heero?" Duo looked dumbfounded.
Heero answered. "Word for word, love. Here... drink up." Heero held the flute to Duo's lips, and watched Duo drink the contents. Then he took his own flute and downed the potion in one gulp. "Not bad. How long before this starts to work?"
"Not too long, dear. Howard is just making sure everything is ready with the spells and the clothing." She pressed a kiss to Duo's forehead. "The two of you will have just enough energy left to take a quick rinse in the tub and eat a light meal when the other potions wear off."
Heero stood again with Duo in his arms. "Thank you. This means so much to us."
Katrina smiled and brushed Heero's cheek with her hand. "I know it does. Now go on." Heero nodded and walked upstairs carrying Duo. Katrina placed the flutes in the kitchen so she could wash them in the morning. Then she sat on the sofa and closed her eyes.
"Chanting?"
Katrina smiled lovingly at Howard as he sat down. "Partially. I'm also praying. They want this so badly. Although we can always make another attempt next month, Duo will be crushed if it doesn't work. Poor dear might think it's HIS fault."
Howard nodded. "Well... I'll make you a deal. You concentrate on chanting up some spells for luck and fertility, and I'll concentrate on the prayer aspect. Maybe... maybe with all of us concentrating on this hope, the greater powers will be kind."
Katrina nodded and went about casting a circle... hoping that Howard was right.

Heero groaned and cracked his eyes open. His sight set on a clock next to the bed. He wondered why it took so long for the numbers to come clear. '7... must be PM from the positioning.' He winced a little as his muscles protested his stretching, but he knew he had to move. He looked to his side and smiled tenderly at Duo as he brushed his beloved's hair away. Memory came back along with a rush of elation when he saw Duo's very female anatomy. 'I'm going to be a father.'
The joy inside him refused to be contained, so he gathered Duo into his arms and started kissing his now-wife all over.
"Hmmmm... Heero? What time is it?" Duo smiled up at him.
Heero grinned as he got out of bed and picked Duo up. "It's seven PM, love. Look!" He set Duo onto... HER... feet and turned her to the full-length mirror.
Duo blinked for a second before touching the mirror. "I'm still a girl." Realization flooded her and she spun to face Heero with her heart in her eyes. "I'm still a GIRL! It WORKED!!!"
Heero caught Duo in his arms and spun with her around the room. Then he pulled back and gazed into Duo's lovely face. "Are you all right? You must be sore."
Duo shrugged a little with a slight blush. "I've felt worse. Oh my God... I can hardly believe it. A baby!" She hugged her midriff with a little laugh. "We're gonna have a baby!"
Heero pulled Duo into his arms and kissed her deeply. "Let's go downstairs and share the good news."
Duo smiled brightly and turned to the clothes that had been set out for them. There were two sets for her. One had been just in case the spells hadn't worked. She ignored it and set about putting the dress on. "I am SO glad Relena visited us a few weeks ago when we first started planning. She may have had that silly pink limo, but she does have good taste in clothes."
It was an airy dress perfect for going out in. Relena had insisted that a light violet would be the best color for Duo... saying it brought out Duo's eyes. It had what looked like three layers of the light violet material with a light floral pattern. Or course, the strange undergarments went on first.
Duo giggled. "It's a good thing I like wearing briefs, or these would feel stranger than they already do. Now... how do I put this thing on again... AH!"
Heero smiled as he watched her after he finished dressing. He finished quicker due to the new female clothing being unfamiliar to Duo. But even when fumbling with the unfamiliar hooks, latches and straps of a brassieres and the strangeness of pulling on the nylon stockings, Duo was graceful. After the dress was on, Heero picked up the hairbrush and went to his favorite task. When Duo's hair was silky soft, Heero pulled half of it back and twisted it into a loose chignon kept in place by a claddagh hair stick. He then slipped a ring of the same design on Duo's ring finger before putting his own wedding ring on.
Duo smiled at the ring. That had been another spell altogether... that the ring would always fit, no matter what.
"Here are the shoes. I'm so glad we talked Relena out of getting you heels."
The shoes were a lovely pair of purple velvet flats. They went beautifully with the dress Duo now wore. Duo turned to herself in the mirror and gasped. "Oh..."
Heero wrapped his arms around her from behind. "I told you that you were beautiful." He took her hand and kissed her knuckles. "Let's go downstairs."

Katrina paced worriedly in the living room. She and Howard had been up for quite some time, but her anxiety kept her from being still. "I don't know why I'm so worried."
Howard answered her. "It's because you love those kids as much as I do and you want them to be happy. A baby WILL make Duo happy. Kid was always happiest around the youngsters."
Katrina smiled and nodded. "Babies are so sweet. And Duo will make a wonderful parent. Heero will, too. He's so caring and protective of..." She turned as the upstairs door was opened, and was not a bit surprised when Howard came to wait by her side.
She smiled happily as Heero and Duo came into view. And any worries she had vanished when she saw Duo's feminine curves that were enhanced by the cut of the dress.
Howard broke the silence. "Gotta hand it to ya, kid... you would look good in a potato sack." Once Duo was on the ground, Howard swept the girl into his arms. "I'm so happy for ya, kid." He put Duo down and gave the rest of them a goofy grin. "I'm gonna be a granddad."
Katrina chuckled softly and walked to embrace her adopted child. "It makes me so happy to have been able to help give you this. And, in a way, you have made one of my dreams come true." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small object. "This has been handed down from mother to daughter every generation. It belonged to my mother, and my mother's mother before her. She passed it to me when I turned sixteen... never knowing I would not bear children of my own. I had wanted to give it to your mother as a wedding present, but she refused." With the utmost care, Katrina fastened a large almost tear-shaped pendant made of rainbow moonstone around Duo's neck. "This is a talisman that protects the expectant mother. It will ensure a smooth pregnancy and an easy labor and a healthy baby." She smiled warmly. "I now pass it on to you, dear. Maybe you will pass it on to your daughter one day."
Duo looked down at the glittering white stone and smiled at Katrina. "Oh, mom... thank you!"
Katrina kissed Duo's cheek and smiled. "Let's go out to dinner." With that, she wrapped a motherly arm around Duo and led the young woman outside with the two men following. She knew it was about to be a very interesting semester at the new school.
TBC...
Author's note: Most of Duo's clothing and accessories come from The Pyramid Collection, which you can find here.I love looking through the stuff. There are some really pretty things there.
