Lost Love
Prologue
Cagalli didn't know how long she waited, how long she paced back and forth on the marble floor of her bathroom.
Five years? No, maybe five decades or was it five scores? For all she knew she waited for five centuries or maybe even five millenniums.
She was scared. No, saying she was scared was an understatement. She was shocked and frightened beyond belief.
She might be wrong, though. It had only been a theory-a hypothesis but her period was thirteen days late and it had never been late before. At least not late by that many days.
Not only that, she had started vomiting as well.
She could have started hyperventilating- nobody would've noticed.
She however could not afford to faint right now. Her future was there, on that stick. How pathetic.
She couldn't afford, though, a doctor's appointment for even if she bribed and paid them to be silent, she could not assure herself that this incident would be. Someone could find out. And that's the last thing she wanted.
She never told anyone- not yet anyway. But she knew she would have to soon, especially if this turned out to be positive. Kisaka would probably be the first one to know and Myrna as well. She knew she could trust her brother and Lacus but going all the way to PLANT would be troublesome. Aunt Caridad could be told of the situation. She knew her birth mother's sister wouldn't rat her out.
Telling her closest and most trusted friends wouldn't be a problem. And though she knew she can trust him, she doubted that she'd be able to tell him. How ironic that the one man she could not muster enough courage to tell of the situation would be the father, of all people.
He had stayed in PLANT. She's already known that fact long before it happened. After all, they had broken up the night before the Archangel launched. Officially, she meant.
And that's when he took her innocence away- the only thing she's still innocent in. She didn't regret it though. She loved him. No, loves him. And that night, however sad, was something she could never forget. She gave him her everything.
She knew that she'd always choose her country over him. That was no question.
More than two million people over one man?
It was terribly unfair.
But she loves him too much too. Even for just one night, she'd be able to do that. For one night, she could give herself to him, and only him.
Her country's not on her head or any council meetings or any wars that would take place in the near future even.
That night, she was his and his alone. And she's willing to do that for she loves him.
And yet, no matter how much she loves him, she still couldn't tell him if what she feared for was true.
It could be an unwanted pregnancy, she did not know.
She had always wanted to carry his child. She could still remember during those two years of peace when she and he would sit down, hold hands and look into the future.
They would embrace and make a solemn promise to each other that they would stay with each other no matter what happens and protect one another.
But right now, looking at the situation, those promises they made were all null and void.
How pitiful.
She sat down on one of the chairs. Everything…everything they worked so hard for, for their relationship…all gone because of what she had done. She never even imagined that he'd be able to forgive her. She hadn't even forgiven herself after all this time.
She couldn't help but dart her eyes towards the clock every second. Any moment now, she would see the result.
And that stick would tell of her future, whether or not she will be a mother, whether or not the press will have a field day, whether or not she will have yet another scandal as chief representative and whether or not she might have to keep something from her friends and from him.
She stood up in what seemed to be millions of years.
Her breath hitched and her head hurt.
She felt dizzy. No, no, not yet, she thought, not until-not until I've seen the result.
She closed her eyes for a second. She took hold of the plastic stick that could tell her fate.
Again, how pathetic.
She took one look and her breathing quickened.
No, that can't be right.
She rubbed her eyes and looked again.
No, no, no.
She held the stick in her trembling hands.
Oh, God, no, no.
It's positive.
How could this be?
She's pregnant.
There was no way that…
But there it was, proudly contradicting what her mind was telling her- the stupid pregnancy test.
It couldn't be.
But it's true.
I'm having a child.
And not just any child, his child.
I'm pregnant with his baby.
His baby, and no one else's.
Cagalli didn't know whether to cry in fear or in happiness. She was having a baby…his baby.
And it doesn't matter whether she'll tell him or not, whether he'll stay or not.
And it doesn't matter anyway whether or not it was his baby. True, she's glad it was his baby she was carrying but no matter whose it is, it was still hers.
And she'll protect it, because the child is hers.
All this time she had been thinking about what might happen to her. But right now, now that she realized that a life was born into her, she couldn't care less.
She's having a child and she'll have it, not just because it's his but because it's hers. And no baby of hers will be teased or made fun of. Her baby won't be the center of the world's attention, at least not yet. Her baby won't be depressed and sad and be made to carry that much responsibility at a young age like she was. No, she'll take care of it and protect it at all costs.
Because it was her baby and the rest, right now, matters not
Please review and I sincerely hope you guys loved it.
