Notes: In Operation: Lost Boys, Trowa found out that his real name was Triton Bloom and started going by it. Heero also found out that his real name was Kamui Hiyama, and stated that he'd start calling himself that when the war was over. He married under that name and Hiyama is Ken's last name. Duo chose to stay with Duo because he was not crazy about his real name, but he kept his last name, changing Maxwell to his middle name.

Little Treasures Part 2

Sally smiled at the petite little girl sitting on the cot as she checked the reading on the thermometer. "You're blood pressure is a little high, but that's because you haven't taken you vitamins." She handed two bright pink pills to Shaay and smiled as the girl took them. "Why don't you behave like that for the Maguanac?"

Shaay pouted. "Because they're HUGE! I'm way smaller than any of them and they don't bend down like you do."

Sally chuckled. "Ahhh... but you outsmart them every time, right?"

Shaay grinned like the little imp she really was. "Yup!"

Quatre laughed as he entered and scooped his little daughter into his arms. "Oh don't sound so proud of that! It's a good thing your Papa isn't here... he'd give you one of his looks." He hugged her close, loving the affection that was simply pouring out of her. "How is she doing?"

Sally nodded. "She's gained two pounds from last week and according to the charts, she hasn't needed her breather. I guess letting her play with the other children was a good idea. She also seems to have gotten something from you, although she's not old enough to understand it." Sally smiled at the pair of them. "Looks like she has your empathy. I suggest taking a half an hour a day teaching her how to control it so she won't be overwhelmed when it comes into full force."

"Uncle Quatre? When is my father going to be home?"

Quatre turned and smiled at the girl who had just entered. "Celeste, Wufei is home. The last time I saw him, he was heading towards Tien's room to tuck Tien in for a nap."

Celeste turned to Sally. "Mother... may I go and greet him?"

Sally nodded. "But remember to come back here. You still have homework, young lady."

Quatre frowned. "Homework? Sally... it's the middle of summer."

Sally handed a can of fruit punch to Shaay. "I know. Wufei's daughters all convinced him to teach them Chinese. Catherine and Dorothy supported it, Harmony was surprised she didn't think of it sooner, and I... I wish that Celeste got SOMETHING from me."

Quatre noticed that Shaay had finished her drink, and he smiled as he threw the can away. "Anyway... what do you say to a nap, my little princess? Hm?"

Shaay smiled sleepily. "Okie. Love you, daddy."

Quatre kissed her forehead. "I love you too. That's why I worry so much." He nodded to Sally. "I'm going to take her to her room. I'll call you if anything happens."

Sally shook her head. "Quatre... I know Shaay is your first child, and I know she's the first child created in the way she was, but stop coddling her. She's much better than she was a week ago, and her only problem is with the Maguanac being too tall. She's a very tiny girl. Rashid and the other Maguanac are huge hulking men. They are a little intimidating."

Quatre frowned. "Shaay knows they'd never let her get hurt!"

"That's just the problem, Quatre. She's being coddled and kept from running and getting the little bumps and scratches children are SUPPOSED to get. I'm not saying be calm when it happens, but you can't treat every little thing as if it's lethal. Take bringing her in to see me, for instance. You really didn't need to. You could have handled taking her to her room, giving her her vitamins, and tucking her in for a nap. If you keep this up, you'll make her think every little thing is serious." Sally finished putting everything away. "When is Triton going to be back? You need him to calm you down when things like this happen."

"Things like what? Hey kitten!" Triton smiled at his half-asleep daughter.

"Papa!" Shaay reached for Triton and giggled when Quatre let the taller young man take her. She hugged him with every ounce of strength she had. "Welcome home, papa!"

Triton took a quick assessing look at his daughter before smiling and cradling her. He mouthed the word "later" to Quatre and turned to take Shaay to her room.

Sally grinned. "Triton will probably tell you what I just told you. Take care, Quatre."

*****

Across the hall from Shaay's room was Triton and Quatre's room. Quatre put on his best innocent expression and smiled sheepishly when Triton entered.

Triton shook his head. "Quatre... stop looking like you think I'm about to yell at you. I overheard much of what Sally said. I agree with her, but I also agree with you." He walked over and pulled Quatre into a hug. "Shaay... was such a sick little baby, and she was sick until just a few months ago. It's hard to stop thinking that any little thing will take her from us." Triton sighed and rested his head against Quatre's. "But... for her sake, we have to stop panicking when she gets a little out of breath. We have to stop locking her in a gilded cage. She has to be able to be a child, or she'll end up like one of us... someone who was never allowed to experience the joys of childhood."

Quatre sighed and relaxed a little. "I know. It's just... she's such a tiny little thing! I'm afraid that the slightest breeze will blow her away."

Triton chuckled. "Well... she just hasn't hit her growth spurt yet. I'm sure she'll get taller. Although I think she'll always look fragile due to her childhood illnesses, she's stronger than we give her credit."

Quatre nodded. "I guess it could be worse. We could have ended up with a little terror like Duo and Kamui did."

"Amen to that, love!"

*****

"But Da~~~~~ad! Can't I just..."

"Nope! And don't think you can swindle ME with that look! I'm the one who taught it to you. Not another word on the matter! What would your Otou-san say if he saw you trying to get an extra scoop of ice cream for dessert when you misbehaved for your aunt today?"

"I'd say I was surprised you gave him ice cream at all." Kamui smiled a little at Duo and welcomed the pounce. "Tadaima!"

"Okaerinasai, koi!" Duo hugged his husband with an enthusiasm that just stopped short of cutting off his breath. "Missed you!"

"Otou-san! PLEASE? I wasn't THAT bad. I just felt that Meiran was being unfairly punished!"

Kamui glanced at Ken and shook his head. "No... Harmony was in the right this time. As she usually is when it comes to raising her children. She was extremely fair considering that the damage was done completely during a small temper tantrum that Meiran threw. Harmony knows that children need to rebel, but Meiran must learn that her actions have reactions that may be opposite of what she wants." He kept one arm around Duo in a firm hug while playing with Ken's hair. "Now... go in to bed."

Duo watched as his son closed his bedroom door before turning back to Kamui and kissing him whole-heartedly. "Mmmmmm! I REALLY missed you!"

Kamui chuckled and rubbed his hand against the bulge in Duo's pants. "I can tell that. I missed you too." He pressed a kiss against Duo's neck and suckled a little. "Shall I show you how much I missed you?"

Duo sighed and nodded. He hated when assignments came up that separated him and his beloved, and Une knew it too well. It was very rare that they were sent to different places, but when it DID happen ... they were always reunited with a ferocity that some might find alarming had they not known the couple. "Mmmmnnnnn... hangar?"

"Hangar!" With that, Kamui all but dragged Duo towards the hangar that was far away from the living area of the estate.

*****

"Hmmn? Quatre?" Triton blinked when he heard a moan from the bathroom and sighed. 'Sounds like Kamui's home. Good... Duo was moping at dinner!' He pushed himself out of bed and walked into the bathroom to see Quatre bent over. "Let me help you with that, love." He embraced Quatre from behind and proceeded to stroke his little husband.

"Tri... love you!" Quatre relaxed as much as he could while leaning against Triton. He let the feelings flow around him and basked in the purity of the emotions he felt. Lust was only a tiny part of what Duo and Kamui felt. There was a great joy at being together again and a tidal wave of love and contentment... a feeling of peace. That's what got to Quatre... the pure bliss the other couple was feeling. He wondered what they were doing to be feeling so... ecstatic.

*****

Had Quatre been in the room with the couple in question, he would have been shocked to see them... not engaged in a sexual act just yet. The two of them were just cuddling and relishing in being together again. The sex was great between them, but Duo and Kamui both knew that sex was not everything to be had in a relationship. Both had been starved for attention as children, and they more than made up for it with the times they spent together and with their son, Ken. The first time they had been reunited after a mission that separated them, they had been desperate for one another and both had come away from that experience battered and bruised.

That was not to say that Duo didn't WANT to do something more, he just wanted to bask in the feeling of being close to the man he loved. "Was I wrong to give Ken dessert tonight? It's not as if he succeeded in his so called mission."

Kamui shook his head and kissed the scar on Duo's chest. "Iie. You were right... and it sounded as if he got less dessert than usual. Even if he did inherit his appetite from you, koi, he has never asked for seconds when it came to dessert."

Duo sighed at the little shower of kisses he was getting. "Mmmmmm... I don't wanna be too strict with him, but being too lenient would be just as bed... uh BAD."

Kamui chuckled. "So THAT'S where your mind is... let's see what I can do about this..."
