Gundam Seed – Some Things Happen for a Reason
Chapter 1 – Accident
It was almost over. The final battle between the Earth Forces and the Republic of Zaft was coming to an end. Both sides had sustained heavy damage and began to show no signs of continuing, with all of their soldiers injured or already dead. One group, however, had remained neutral throughout the entire battle and was trying its best to stop the fighting. This group consisted of the Archangel, a ship that formerly belonged to the Earth Forces, the Eternal, a ship formerly of Zaft, and the Kusunagi, a ship that belonged to the once neutral nation of Orb. The crews of these three vessels had been through many a battle and had come to the conclusion that neither side was right in the sense of ending the war. Both sides had rulers that only longed to destroy the opposing side and nothing else.
The main people involved in this cause to end the fighting were Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala, Cagalli Yula Atha, and Lacus Clyne. These people had been the first to see how cruel fighting and war really were. It had claimed the lives of many of their friends and family, and had forced them to even go against each other at first, but it had also brought each of them closer together. As they spent more time together they formed a bond of friendship and eventually grew to love each other. The relationships had started the opposite from how they had ended up later on. Kira and Cagalli were the first two to meet up and it soon appeared as if things had hit off great, until a certain incident had revealed that they were supposedly twins. This started the crossing relationships between the four. Athrun and Lacus were both engaged to be married, until an incident where Lacus helped Kira escape from Zaft caused the engagement to be withdrawn and her to be charged with treason. During the war, each of these people had the opportunity to meet the others and their relationships progressed. Athrun had fallen in love with Cagalli, and Lacus with Kira. There was, however, a little problem that had occurred later on when the war was almost over.
Around the time of the start of the final battle, Cagalli had found out that she had not yet let go of her feelings for a certain someone. This caused problems whenever she was around her two friends and her boyfriend. Whenever she would look at Kira with Lacus, she would sometimes feel a sharp pain in her heart, also she would often fantasize what it would be like if they weren't siblings. During the start of the battle, she decided to have a talk with him to get it out of her mind once and for all.
"Uh…Kira we need to talk." She said as she grabbed his hand and led him to his room. He complied since he had been a little worried about her for a while. He had often caught her staring off into space and at times Athrun had told him that she was not being herself. He thought this would be a good chance to see if she was okay. Once they were inside she began, "Kira I…uh…called you in here to tell you something."
"Yeah, go on." He said giving her his full attention.
"These past few days I've begun to realize something that I'm really confused about." She paused to look away for a moment. "I think that…I'm still in love with you."
At this, Kira stood there in shock. This was truly something he wasn't expecting, but at the same time he was hoping for. After finding out that they were "supposedly" siblings he had felt upset and angry because fate had always seemed to have a habit of taking things away from him. First it was his neutrality, then it was his best friend, Tolle, and now it was the girl he was in love with. He felt a little jealous of his friend, Athrun, for having the opportunity to be with her, but knew that they would be happy in the end, and that was all that matter to him. Now here she was telling him that she still had feelings for him even in her present relationship.
"Kira, did you here me?" Her voice brought him back to the present and he stood there looking straight at her.
"Yeah…did you really mean that?"
"Of course, I did. Why would you even think that I didn't?" She said a little upset hearing him say that.
"When did you start to feel this way?" He asked.
"Ever since I saw you with Lacus, I had always cursed the day I found out the truth. I had always loved you since we met and you saved my life, and to hear that I couldn't be with you broke my heart. I know people think that I'm madly in love with Athrun, but the truth is that I don't love him as much as I thought I did." She was now trying to fight back the tears that were beginning to form.
Hearing all of this, Kira thought that it was only right to say the truth about what he had felt. "Cagalli…I feel the same way as you do. The day I found that out, I was really upset and my hopes shattered. It seemed that throughout my life my most precious things were taken from me. I felt sad that I couldn't be with you, but I also thought that both you and Athrun would be happy together, so I let it be. But I also feel the same way about Lacus as you do about Athrun. I don't really love her as much as others would think…But now what do we do?" As he finished he noticed that Cagalli's lips were growing closer and closer to his. Soon their lips locked together, and as one thing led to another they made the night special. But later on, it would have dire consequences.
One month after the war…Cagalli stood in the hospital bed waiting for the doctor to come back and give her his diagnosis. Lately, she had been feeling sick in the morning and had cravings for large amounts of food. Something was definitely up and she was about to find out why. The doctor came in and gave her the news.
"Miss Atha, the tests all confirm that you are pregnant."
She was now in a state of shock. Oh, man. This isn't good. What would Athrun do if he found out? What would Kira say if I told him? As these thoughts ran through her head, she was completely unaware of what the doctor was saying. "I'm sorry, sir. Could repeat what you said?" She turned her attention toward him.
"I said that you're preg-"
"Not that part. After that."
"Oh, I was asking if you had been feeling anything else besides those symptoms?"
"No, I just feel sick in the morning and get really hungry later on."
"I would say you're just starting on your way. By the way would this happen to be Athrun Zala's child by any chance?" But he had not noticed that she had already left while his back was turned.
Cagalli ran as fast as she could back to the apartment where she and Athrun were staying. After the war was over, she had decided to take a vacation once she had finished helping out with the peace talks. She had wanted all of them to go with her and Athrun, especially Kira, but then decided that it would be best to not have both of them together. This also gave her time to explain to Athrun that it would be better for them to brake up. It would be hard on him, but it would be better than leading him on to think that she really loved him as much as he did her. Kira also felt the same way about letting Lacus know how he felt, or rather how he didn't feel towards her. They both hoped that it would work out in the end and that they could still be friends. Now, however, the plan would need to be sped up since she was going to have Kira's child. The first thing that she needed to do was let Kira know what was happening, although she already expected that Athrun had told him about her behavior.
As she opened the door, Athrun greeted her with a small hug and a peck on the cheek. She returned the greeting and headed for the phone, telling Athrun that she would only be a minute.
Kira heard the phone ring and picked it up after reading the Caller ID. "Cagalli, are you okay?" He said hoping to hear so.
"Um…I need to tell you something, but not over the phone. Meet me at the Espresso Café at two o'clock." She hung up the phone so that he couldn't retort.
"Hey, how are you feeling? What did the doctor say?" Asked Athrun.
"He said it was just maybe something I ate. I'm alright now. Oh, I have to go meet Kira and talk to him about something."
"Okay, tell him I said hi and try not to eat anything bad again." He said as he walked off toward the living room."
"Okay, I'll be back in an hour." She said as she headed toward the car.
When she had arrived, she found Kira's car already parked outside. He's always the one to be early. She thought as she went inside and took a seat next to him. After they had ordered Kira decided to start the conversation. "So what did you want to say to me?" He looked at her face and saw both happiness and sadness.
"I…just came from the doctor and…he told me…" She stopped for a moment to gather the words she was trying to say. "He told me that…I'm pregnant." She finished looking deep into his eyes.
Kira just stood there as he did when she had told him of her feelings for him. He took a while to let the words sink in began to speak, "Did you just say that you're pregnant? As in, going to have a baby?"
"Yeah, and you're the only one who could be the father." She said not looking away.
"You mean even when you were with Athrun you didn't…" He asked.
"Like I said before, Kira, I don't really love him that way. I'm trying to get it through to him."
"So…you're going to have my child. But we're…" He couldn't finish the sentence.
"We don't know that for sure. That's why today I want us to get a DNA test to see if it's true."
"And if it is?" He asked hesitantly.
She struggled with the words, but fought passed the fear. "I still want to have the baby, no matter what. This is the best thing that's happened to me in my whole life and I'm not giving it up. And I'm not giving up on you either." Her face blushed as she finished. Soon after, the food came and Kira couldn't help but smile at how much she was eating. Yeah, this could be the best thing that's happened to me also. He thought as he dug into his plate. However, both still felt a little hesitant about the DNA tests that they would take afterwards, but they had faith in what they felt and decided to take that chance no matter what the consequences.
