Cherry and Sable... THIS is the fic I was talking about. I got halfway through, when I realized that "Wufei's Greatness" didn't fit...:)

This fic is because Cherry asked me soooo nicely! :) I put off the Duo and Hilde Lemon and tied myself to my chair! :) It takes place in the box universe, so remember.. ALL the pilots save Quatre and Trowa have kids... (I still don't know if they are lovers in this au... so I haven't planned anything yet) :)

Wu might be slightly ..um.. o.o.c. :) BUT... I assume that he's matured some over the years.. possibly mellowed a bit...::)

Wufei's Survival

By Caliko

I should have believed her when she threatened to go back to work, but, I didn't. If I had, I would have arranged for a nanny to live in for the children. But no. I stupidly refused to hear it. In my minds eye, the seeds of my youth flourish wild.

I admit it. I'm old fashioned, and very traditional. It is incredibly hard for me to adjust to having a woman as my equal, But - here is Sally.

She is a dedicated warrior, fully believing in Miss Relena's cause. Peace above all else is engrained into her soul. Of course she would return to her position at Preventers!

To be fair to her, I never asked her to resign. I just didn't expect my woman to go back when Katy is only eleven months old! Again, I admit my faults. I don't always think clearly about women.

Home for Lunch, (away from Maxwell):

I came home for lunch that day. I normally grab a sandwich on the road, but Duo was helping out that week, and I was stuck with him. In short, I had a raging headache, and didn't want to get stuck eating McDonalds with Maxwell.

The first thing I notice was the suitcase I tripped over.

:::Hmm....what's that doing here?:::

"Woman? Why is your suitcase out?" I called into the chaos pit called a kitchen.

"OH! Wu! I'm glad your home! Lady Une called, and she needs me to escort Relena to the peace conferences! Tyler was supposed to go, but he had an emergency back home."

"But.. but.. what about the kids?" This could not be happening....

"Hilde said that she could take them for the rest of the week, but she can't get to Earth until tomorrow. You will just have to stay home, or take them with you until then."

"BUT.. but... WOMAN!"

"Yes, Wufei?"

"I thought we agreed to wait a few more months!" :::AHA! my ace in the hole!::::

"No, Wu. YOU agreed. I simply said, 'We'll see.' Now, I'm sorry, but Lady Une had no one else to send. You will just have to get along without me for the week."

"But.. but.. but..."

::::Damn woman, standing there, AMUSED at my expense! What do I know of children?::::

"I'll see you next Friday, Chang..." She smiled and gave me a quick peck on the cheek before collecting her suitcase and taking off.

I was left staring at the mess left. Obviously, she had been in a rush. Not twenty four hours on duty, and the house was already suffering for it. INJUSTICE! That is why women belong in the house!

My reverie was broken by a quiet sniffle at my elbow. I looked down in time to see Aaron wiping his nose on my pant leg. ::::Ugh!::: I picked him up and carried him upstairs to get cleaned up. It looked like I was eating fast food after all....

McDonalds:

Of course, the restaurant was packed, and the only open seats where across the aisle from two scantily clad teeny boppers. Sighing, I led my demon spawn to the booth, snagging a highchair on the way.

I opened the diaper bag, and took out the strained carrots that we were trying out that week. Katy, as I warned the woman, hated them. Who wouldn't? I mean, here is this disgusting paste mixture that SMELLED, and she expected MY DAUGHTER to eat it? I really didn't think so.

I opened the jar and just couldn't do it. Placing it back in the bag, I handed the baby my french fries. I have no idea whether she was supposed to be eating them, yet, but she seems to be enjoying them.

Still, what kind of nutrition did they have? Thinking twice on the matter, I reached over and took them away.

:::::At least the carrots were nutritious...::::

Katy started screeching herself blue when she ran out of french fries. Humiliated, I blushed as people started to watch me with slitted eyes, as if I was abusing her!

Hurriedly, I handed the fries back, and she proudly showed off her teeth in a grin.

::::Yeah, there was no mistaking who she took after, the manipulative little brat!::::

Aaron, of course, had to be Aaron. First, he screamed because his hamburger had mustard, then he screamed cause it was missing the ketchup. Of course, he threw the pickles, and I had to pretend to be mad when it landed on some girls scantily clad breast.

I had to admit, he had good aim. He knew it, too when he turned to me and grinned a very pleased, male smirk.

:::That's my boy!::: I smiled inside, but scolded him with a stern face.

The girl smiled, of course, thinking it was cute. Leave it to a woman to think anything a small child did was cute! She picked the pickle out of her blouse and wiped away the mustard. Getting up, she kissed Aaron on his all too pleased cheek and told him how cute he was.

::::Both brats were manipulative munchkins!:::

That night:

How come I never realized how big this bed is? I stretched out my legs, and still didn't make contact with the sides. Rolling over, I hugged my pillow to my chest, unable to get comfortable.

::::This is ridiculous! I slept alone for many years, and I can do it again for one week!:::::

Still, my pillow kept getting fluffed, and my body kept switching position. I wanted my Sally.....

Sitting up, I turned on the TV, hoping to catch a dull movie that would put me to sleep. Instead, I got hooked. Damn.. I really had it bad.

Around Two a.m., I got out of bed and went outside to the backyard. I finally resorted to exercise, hoping to exhaust my body enough to pass out.

Four a.m., I said screw it. I was still wide awake! I padded inside to the shower and let the hot water soak through my skin.

Five a.m. came around, and I made breakfast. Maybe I could fall asleep after Hilde picked up the kids...

Alone in the house:

::::Ahh!!! Alone at last!::::

Lady Une had called earlier to tell me that my case was wrapped up. Of course, this meant that I had a week off from work, a standard rest between missions. I debated for a while about calling Hilde, but decided that she was better equipped to handle the monsters.

Of course, it was a little insulting when she so readily agreed with me...

I stretched out on the couch, almost in awe of the quiet. It was actually /too/ silent, and I was starting to get self conscious.

Hesitantly, I started to hum to myself, wincing as the sound echoed through the house. I really don't think I had ever had this experience here. After so many years of arguing with the woman, than listening to first Aaron's, then Katy's baby squeals...well, it was unnatural! I don't think I was going to get any sleep here...

But... I was so sleepy. Desperate, I turned on the TV low, and grabbed the comforter and pillows from the bed. Throwing them on the couch, I laid down and waited for sleep.

It happened so gradually, I almost wasn't aware of it. One minute, I was watching Relena make her speech, with Sally behind her, the next I was staring at Sally's lips.

I have always been fascinated with Sally's mouth. It was a wicked tool of torture, able to snap my control within minutes. Her lips brought me to madness, inciting a crazed urge to kiss the smugness from her smile. Somehow, she never allowed it to happen. She was as controlled today as she was in the beginning, humorously allowing my say, then suggesting another form of action.

I must have slept then, as I started to feel kisses running down my naked chest to settle on my engorged manhood. I gasped, reaching for Sally, trying to pull her mouth up to my lips. My hands simply went through her body, as if she were a ghost.

Now, even in my dreams, she was in control. She started to kiss her way back up to my chest, stopping to gently bite each stiffened nipple. Her tounge flicked out to lick the sweaty salt from my neck, and finally, I felt her mouth upon mine as she seated herself onto my shaft.

She rose slightly, teasing me with her movements. Once again, I reached for her, to guide her into pulling up farther, but again, my hands slid through her body. I heard her mocking laughter tease my senses as she rose up quickly, and slammed down hard without warning.

"Is this what you want?" she asked, repeating the move.

I moaned, frustrated because I wanted more, but I was unable to touch her skin.

"Aww.... Wufei.... Maybe you want me to go slower?"

Her hot sheath slid over my tormented pole, merciless in it's torture. I arched upwards, begging her for release. Relenting, she moved faster, in tandem to my rhythm.

She clutched at me, capturing my lust in her tight embrace as I spasmed, coming hard.

I awoke to the sound of the phone ringing, surprised that it was only a dream. Her mouth was so real, her womanhood so hot! Damn... my shorts were so wet....

"Hello?" I mumbled into the receiver.....

"Wu? Are you alright?" It was the woman!

"Yeah, I'm fine, Sally. Why?" I was NOT going to have her worrying about me!

"Well, it's two o'clock in the afternoon, your home and you sound like you were sleeping! Do you need me to come home?"

Now, I realized three things at once. I realized that I could have her home tonight, I realized that we would be alone, and I realized that it wouldn't be fair.....

"No, Sally. I'm fine. How's guard duty?"

::::Hey, I'll survive! I am a soldier, after all!:::

Stretching forth in our imagination,
there lies a path to greatness.
Besides it lay the road of mediocrity.
Which path shall you take?
Travel with me, on the path of greatness
Stretch out your dreams
and pull them into reality.
Head not the safe road,
the one that tempts you with stabilty
What use is living without risk?
