The Start of a New Beginning
Summary she was a girl seeking for a job and a new beginning, he was a single dad running a company and at the same time attending to his son's needs As these two collide what could possibly happen? Will love eventually blossom?
Hi Friends, as you can see I'm starting a new story. Now I got the idea of Athrun being a single father and the gang working in the medical field in the fic "To Love and To Love Again", its a Sasuke and Sakura fic. But other than that: the words, the events, and the following plot are mine. Except for the characters though for,
I do not own Gundam Seed / Gundam Seed Destiny
On with the story...
As the sun's rays hit the window a lump moved inside the covers struggling to wake up as the sun hit her eyes. Cagalli sat up from her bed and stretched out her arms yawning and rubbing her eyes from the wonderful confinements of sleep.
Ofcourse she could sleep in, but not today. Today would be something important as she got out and went inside the bathroom to shower.
~...~
He looked outside his window as he watched the sun's first rays hit the glass window of his room. He's always like this, he would wake up even before the sun was out, he wasn't the one to sleep in, he tends to sleep in at times but that would only be on rare occasions.
Athrun ran a hand through his midnight blue mop of a hair as he maneuvered his way in his mansion downstairs to make himself a cup of coffee. Don't get him wrong he did have attendants to attend to his every need but there would be a specific way he likes his coffee and he would rather make it himself rather than someone else. As he let the coffee brew, he went back upstairs to wake a certain someone up and greeted an attendant as he passed by. It really wasn't a lot there were only four attendants to tend to the house: two maids, a cook, and a head maid.
As he arrived infront of the door he carefully opened it and took a peek inside. It was already 6:30 and this kid needs to get out of bed. He approached the car bed slowly and shook the little lump in it as gently as he could.
The said lump stirred slowly and pulled down the covers as emerald orbs met amber orbs.
"Wake up Alex, it's time to get ready for school" Athrun said as he watched as his son rubbed sleep out from his eyes his midnight blue hair very much like his father's was tousled up.
"Alright Dad" Alex replied sleepily
"Be in the Kitchen as soon as you finish getting ready" Athrun said as he was making his way out of the room already
"Dad!"
Athrun turned around his hand lingering on the door knob and turned to look back at his son.
"Good Morning" Alex said as he grinned up at his Father
Athrun smirked at his son "Good Morning to you too kiddo, now go get ready you don't wanna be late now do you?" Athrun had said turning to leave the door as soon as his son nodded his head at him and raced to his bathroom.
~...~
Cagalli got out of the shower and sighed exasperatedly. She went through her drawer and rummaged for clothes to wear. That is until she settled for a red button up polo with a sleeve that reached her elbows and a black pencil skirt which reached just below her knees showing off her nice and toned legs, the outfit perfectly for wherein it showed off all her curves which were in the right places. Then she scowled as she remembered she had to wear heels for these special occasion she hated wearing them, but to hell with it as she picked up a 3 inched heel black stilettos and bringing them with her as she made her way to her kitchen flopping them down near the sofa deciding she'd wear them later.
She then opened her refrigerator and took out a milk carton and grabbed some cereals from the counter. She ate as she contemplated to see what had just happened with her life right now.
She had just finished med school in the past two years and in those two years she excelled in every field in the Medicine Industry. What was she doing here right now you ask? She wanted a fresh start a new beginning. So from ORB she moved in to PLANTS seemingly thinking that it would be the best way to have a fresh start.
She found a spacious apartment with a decent pay. A one bedroom apartment with a bathroom consisting of a two person jacuzzi and a walk in shower beside it and a full length mirror and a counter top with a sink in the middle. The Kitchen was also decent enough as she had a countertop and a stove and a sink every kitchen needs beside the counter was the refrigerator and beside it another counter top was placed where wine glasses dangled from above, it formed an L shape around the 4 seater dining table. The living room was also decent as she had a black plasma LED TV and a DVD player, she had a 3 seater couch and 2 bean bag chairs facing the TV. All courtesy of her brother.
She sighed as she remembered how he was too stubborn into not giving in to her wishes as he stubbornly insisted that she was his sister and nothing was good enough for her and so he spoiled her with this spacious apartment.
She snorted mentally as she remembered at how big his condo unit was compared to her apartment right now.
He was also the reason why she was dressed up like this right now. He was the one that helped her find a new job, claiming that his best friend owned the most prestigious and well known hospital not only in PLANTS but also in ORB, the Hospital she used to work in just came in second. It was the Archangel Hospital, the hospital was known for being the best of the best, they only give the finest treatment to their patients. It was a haven for skilled Doctors, Nurse, Surgeons, and all of which who are in the medical field. This Hospital is something only someone like her would dream of entering. Don't get her wrong she was very confident with herself, what with her past records seemingly all very impressive it would make someone jealous with what she could achieve within two years of after graduating, very impressive and remarkable indeed.
Cagalli sighed and looked at her watch as she noted the time 7:00, it would take her a 30 minute drive from,her apartment to the Hospital.
"Better get this done and over with" She grumbled and stood up as she washed the dishes. And them proceeded to wear her stilettos which made her legs longer and stand out more.
She grabbed her car keys and locked the door behind her, not before grabbing her black coat and walking out.
~...~
Athrun dressed up slowly pulling out a Navy Blue button up long sleeve dress shirt and tucking it in his black slacks which were sitting in his waist putting on a thin black tie he grabbed his gray business coat and went down stairs to have breakfast with his son.
As he arrived at the kitchen he already Alex sitting on his chair in his booster so he could reach up the table, muching happily on his 3 stack high of pancakes smothered in chocolate syrup with whip cream on top while swinging his legs back and forth
"Hi Dad come on lets eat" Alex said as he smiled cheekily at Athrun
Athrun grinned back at his son and took his seat at the end of the table with Alex at his left when he looked to his right his thought saddened.
He was on an Arranged Marriage with a girl named Ayako Rugisaki, the purposes obvious which was for business purposes and to fulfill a dying man's wish to see his daughter married before he met death, a week after their marriage Ayako's Father died of the illness he was facing. Ayako was a wonderful woman with long black hair and soft amber eyes, even though he tried his very best, the love has always been one sided with Ayako falling head over heels with him but he can never treat her more than just a mere little sister and friend nothing more. He doesn't know why he can't bring himself to love her as how a man would love a woman. 6 months after, Ayako asked Athrun a favor one night
"If you can't love me please at least make love to me and give me a child that I can pour all of my love into, even if just for one night see me as a woman you can love..." were what she said, Athrun complied seeing that this is the only wish he can grant her seeing that he can't love her as nothing more than sister and friend and with that came Alex.
Within those 9 months he took care of her as how a husband would to his beloved wife but still he couldn't love her. As Ayako gave birth to Alex, the delivery had complications and Ayako couldn't make it.
"Please Athrun Promise me that you will shower him with Love and Care even he wouldn't be able to see me, please tell him I Love Him..." with those last words the line went flat as nurses rushed to revive the woman.
Athrun with his child in his arms were pushed out of the ER. His Mother Leonore Zala went to stand beside him as she give him a solemn and apologetic look but tried to give him a reassuring smile and his father Patrick Zala put his hand on his son's shoulder giving him a reassuring squeeze, a sign that told him that his parents will help him whatever happens.
Unfortunately Ayako didn't make it and with that he kept her words at heart, he was going to give Alex the love and care he deserved. He loved his child greatly and silently thanked Ayako for bringing him into his life.
"I promise"
"Dad!"
Athrun's head snapped up to look at his son's concerned face
"Are you ok? You were having a sad expression on your face" Alex said as he frowned
"Don't frown kiddo, I'm fine" he then laughed heartily as his son's face visibly brightened up
"So Dad are you gonna be going to my Match this saturday?" Alex asked his Father looking up from his pancakes
Athrun frowned at that he totally forgot that his son was having a Karate match this upcoming Saturday, for a five year old his son sure was achieving a lot just like when he was at his son's age it brought up a sense of pride in his chest. But wait back with the match...
"Was it this Saturday? I don't know kiddo" Athrun's frown went deeper as he saw his son bow down his head "How about I let Uncle Kira take you? And I'll do my best to catch up?"
Alex brigthened up slightly at the thought of that he has always loved his Uncle Kira "Can Auntie Lacus come too?"
Athrun smiled at his son "Yeah sure, lets ask her first though"
"And how about the lady that Uncle Kira was always talking about? You know his sister that was living in ORB and has recently moved here in PLANTS? what was her name again uh Ca- Ca ... Caga something"
Athrun suddenly snapped back to reality as he thought of Kira's sister which he hasn't seen yet as she was studying at ORB as Kira was studying in PLANTS, why do they study separately? He doesn't know why he really didn't want to pry into other people's life. But at the mention of Kira's sister he remembered that he was going to be interviewing her he can't afford to be late.
"Are you done eating Alex?" Athrun asked the boy
Alex nodded his head as he went to get down from his chair and landed on his butt, Athrun sighed at his Son as he helped him up, his son has always been somewhat clumsy.
Athrun helped Alex dusted of his uniform which consisted of black slacks and white polo with a black and green checkered vest and a small black tie to complete the outfit he had a coat on. When you looked at him he looked adorably cute with him looking like a little business man.
"Shall we go? Wouldn't want you to be late and it is a Monday Morning which could mean there could be traffic" Athrun said as he held his briefcase on his left hand and leaving his other one free for Alex to hold onto as he slipped on his school backpack.
Together they went inside his black BMW and drove of to school. Which took them 15 minutes to arrive.
"I'll pick you up at 5 when your Karate Class is over ok?" Athrun informed his son who was on the passenger seat taking off his seatbelt.
Alex nodded then turned to his father and opened up his arms, Athrun smiled at him and reached in from his seat and enveloped Alex in a warm Father and Son embrace.
"Go you might be late, I can see James from here waiting for you at the School Gates" Athrun said as he gestured to a kid with Silver hair and icy blue eyes waiting patiently for his Best Friend to arrive.
Alex nodded and got out of the car and ran to James.
Athrun watched as the two conversed and went inside the school, with that he was ready to leave and drove to the hospital to meet Kira's Sister.
