Perhaps a nap would help... O.o
More Lockjaw; about half finished. ^___^ I may have to follow Sunhawk and post 'crafty' stuff for a while after this. >_> Assuming I can get the hang of the photobucket thing.... ^.o
He dozed for a while, blinking himself back to full consciousness at the sound of soft voices.
"You're supposed to be in a wheelchair!" hissed Sally.
"Don't be ridiculous, woman! I can damn well walk!" grumbled Wufei softly.
Duo turned his head to see Wufei hobbling painfully across the room with Sally hovering at his side.
"You can hardly stand, you idiot!"
"Pfft! It's not like I need them right now, woman; the mission is already accomplished! I wanted to make sure Maxwell is all right."
"You jerk," she growled with more than a little affection. "You don't want him to be an only child, do you?"
Wufei lowered himself into the chair Sally had vacated, not noticing that Duo was awake. "He can be an only child for a couple of years; that won't hurt anything. Dr Schwartz says I'll be fine in a week or so." He hooked an arm around Sally's waist and drew her down on the arm of the chair. "So, how is the mouth that roared?"
"If I could get my mouth open, I'd be yelling at you right now, you asshole," growled Duo before Sally could answer.
"Well, I see it still roars," Wufei smirked. "How do you feel, aside from that?"
"Pissed! Why didn't you tell me you're going to be a father?” Duo accused.
Wufei broke into a full grin. "I was planning to break the news once we got to the pub. Circumstances intervened."
"Right," Duo snorted. He reached out to poke his friend in the arm. "Congratulations, you horny old dragon, you. I didn't know you had it in you." He waggled his eyebrows, ignoring that it made his face hurt. "Of course, now it's in Sally."
"I'm going to let that one go, Maxwell, but only because I do not wish to deprive my child of the chance to also be horrified by you." Sally poked him in the ribs. "And because you were directly responsible for getting that monster off the streets. Good job; I'm sorry that Yuy and I weren't quicker in backing you up."
Duo waved it away. "A broken jaw, a damaged gun, Kaloogian back in custody; it works out okay. I just wish..." He hesitated with a sigh. "Not this week, you know?"
Wufei looked to his wife for clarification; she leaned down to murmur in his ear.
"Ah. Your vacation. I forgot about that. I'm sure it can be rescheduled, though..."
"Probably," Duo sighed.
Sally's phone beeped; she flipped it open. "Po." She listened for a few seconds. "I'll be right down. Don't worry; not a problem at all." She closed the phone and got to her feet. "Trauma's being carpet bombed with casualties from something; I'm going to go help." She kissed Wufei lightly. "You go home and rest, jerk."
"When I'm done here," he replied blandly.
"Asshole."
"I love you too, wife."
"Playing with fire there, aren't you?" said Duo after Sally was safely gone.
"I have a five-day grace period; I'm not wasting a moment," Wufei smiled.
"Brave words. You know she's gonna get you after, right?"
"Of course. About your automatic, Duo..."
"Sally said Heero pistol-whipped Kaloogian with it."
"You passed out just as we got to the courtyard and Kaloogian grabbed the gun and shot at us, then threatened to shoot you. We both jumped on him, but my angle of attack was less that optimal. He managed to do some... damage..." He winced in remembrance.
"Sorry, man..."
"Nonsense. That piece of toad shit broke your jaw. I will heal before you do. When I went down, Kaloogian turned the gun on you. That would be when Heero teleported to your side and removed the automatic from Kaloogian's possession and proceeded to pound the crap out of him with it." He paused to smirk rather evilly. "It was a beautiful sight to behold. Did you know that Heero has quite a sewer mouth in Japanese?"
"Not... exactly. Wow. Heero went nuts for me... Man, that's love," he would have grinned, but for the wiring. "You know, I'm gonna go nuts myself with this wiring."
"Quite probably." Wufei glanced at his watch. "I will stay until Heero comes back, if that's all right. I'm sure if there is some sort of rush downstairs then Sally will not be ready to leave for a while. Why don't you get some sleep?"

Date: 2007-09-09 07:15 pm (UTC)So... it would be bad to have a character in a fic ask
"But why didn't he tell me?!"
And have the other character answer
"Because the writer didn't effectively telegraph this incident and there has to be a reason why you don't know about it."
"So you're telling me that I was kept in the dark because..."
"Plot points, Duo... plot points."

Totally not my fault...

Date: 2007-09-07 10:45 pm (UTC)I am soooo gonna miss this when it's finally done. Like Sunhawk said, there's little better than good banter. It makes a fic much deeper and more complex. Now....is it next Friday yet?
