Trap Backlash - Epilogue
By West Wind
Disclaimer: I don’t own GW or any of the characters.
Author’s Notes: I had planned on ending with part two but one person asked for more of this story. I was unsure how to continue the story line since both couples had been "trapped," but I decided to write another story that springs off of this one and believe an epilogue was in order to cover a major event between the two stories. (not necessary but it doesn’t hurt) So please, be on the lookout for Marimeia’s Crush to come out in the next few weeks as long as my inspiration holds. It will be centered around Marimeia but Trowa and Relena’s family life will play a role in the story.
Another asked for more 3xR stories. I will try. I like them as a couple too. Please be patient. It took me three to four weeks to workout and write Trap Backlash to my satisfaction.
Thanks for the reviews. They encourage me to write more.

It had been two years since they had started seeing each other, but today was the day they would become husband and wife. Relena fidgeted as they pulled her wedding gown over her head.
"Will you stop that!" demanded Catherine.
Relena stood still and allowed Catherine and Noin to get her in her dress while Marimeia held the veil. Relena smiled at her brother’s wife.
~~ Flashback ~~
"Where did Heero take off to?" Relena demanded. "He has been gone a week and the wedding is only two days away. We can’t have one of the groomsman missing!"
"He will be here, don’t worry," reassured her fiancée as he took her hand to stop her pacing.
"Quatre and Catherine will be here tonight," she stated as he pulled her close and place a kiss on her forehead.
Trowa nodded his agreement. Just then Heero came walking in from the back of the house.
"Heero!" Relena exclaimed as she rushed over to hug him. "You’re back."
The two pilots exchanged knowing glances.
"Where have you been?" she questioned as she released him from the hug.
"Getting your wedding present," Heero stated.
"Where did you have to go to get it? The moon and back?"
"He had to go a bit farther than that," replied a new voice from behind Heero.
Just entering the room was Milliardo and Noin carrying a young child. Relena’s jaw fell open in shock at seeing her brother again. She quickly composed herself and started lecturing her brother for taking off the way he did. After the short lecture, she embraced Milliardo with tears in her eyes.
"I am glad you’re here," she whispered in his ear.
"So am I."
Relena then greeted Noin with a hug and meet her nephew Robert for the first time. Then she hugged Heero again in thanks for finding her brother. Relena was beside herself with joy.
"Milliardo, I wasn’t going to have anyone give me away, but will you do it?" she asked.
"I would be honored," he replied humbly.
~~End Flashback~~
"I wonder how Trowa is doing?" asked Catherine.
"He probably appears cool, calm, and collected like he always does," said Marimeia.
"The key word there is appears," pointed out Catherine. "Quatre looked so calm when we got married, but Trowa told me afterwards that Quatre had been a basket case when they were getting ready. He keep fretting over little details as he paced back and forth in the room. Then Trowa had to push him out of the room so he could get into position." Catherine smiled at the thought of her wedding day six months ago.
They put the finishing touches on Relena, who was not sure which was worse – getting dressed for ones wedding or being dressed to be "Queen of the World."
"At least this will only be one day," she reassured herself.
Milliardo knocked at the door and was let in.
"You better go get a seat, Noin. The wedding will be starting in a few minutes."
"Good luck," Noin wished Relena as she left.
"You look beautiful," Milliardo told Relena as her walked up to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "You ready?"
"As ready as I will ever be," she said with excitement coloring her reply.
"We should probably get into positions now," noted Milliardo.
The girls lined up to enter the sanctuary. First was Marimeia, then Catherine, and then Gretchen, Duo and Hilde’s two year old daughter as the flowergirl. The doors closed while Relena got into position then they were pulled open by the ushers and the music started. Slowly she and Milliardo walked toward the front to the awaiting groom.
Trowa could not take his eyes off his bride. She looked unbelievable. The corners of his mouth turned up a bit as he watched her approach. He knew he was the luckiest man alive to be blessed with her love. Soon she was standing before him and Milliardo was placing her hand in his.
"Barton, take good care of her because if you ever hurt her…," Milliardo whispered.
"I will and I know," Trowa replied before turning toward the front with his bride to walk the rest of the way up.
They exchanged their vowels and the preacher announced them husband and wife. They turned to each other. Trowa removed the veil from in front of Relena’s face, and they kissed, a long passionate kiss.
"Save it for tonight," yelled Duo from the small crowd of family and friends and was quickly elbowed by Hilde. Relena felt a light blush color her face at the comment.
They broke their kiss and were presented to the gathered spectators as Mr. & Mrs. Trowa Barton. Everyone clapped with a few cheers from Duo. Relena smiled at the enthusiastic American. She knew she would always cherish this day - the day she and Trowa swore their hearts and lives to each other for as long as they lived. It was the beginning of a new chapter for them.
