To Only Love You More

Disclaimers: I do not own Gundam Seed, they belong to their respective owners and that's that. Although having a guy that looks like Athrun around wouldn't be so bad, eh?

Story takes place during the time of Gundam Seed, although since I'm not familiar with the new series only been reading up on the current episodes as they come up. So if I'm not 100 percent true, I apologize and will try to correct as I go along.

Chapter Ten

Cagalli threw her pillow at her window. She could not believe what some of the men from the council had suggested. She screamed and then let herself fall to her knees. She wanted Athrun to hold her and reassure that everything was going to be ok. She began to cry as she hugged herself.

She had gone into the office during the day after her breakfast with her family and friends. The day went like it normally would just paper work and a few calls here and there. Kisaka would come in and check on her to make sure Cagalli took a break, also to make sure she was kept in good company.

Earth, however, wasn't going to be her company. The earth forces along with many of the other nations of earth are going to see PLANT as an enemy. There was nothing she could do about it, and what worried her more was her Husband was on PLANT. If earth were to launch a joint attack it would mean she could not possibly see her husband.

As of late, Orb was trying to push her and Yuuna Roma together and she wanted nothing to do with it. At first she was just going to go along with until she couldn't go much further but Athrun proposed and then they got married. She wanted nothing more to do with Yuuna.

At that moment Kira busted into the room with a gun in hand just in case someone was in the room. He noticed Cagalli on the floor and put the gun away. He took his sister into his arms as continued to cry. He was frightened that someone had come into the room and had tried something.

"Cagalli, what's wrong," Kira asked as she just continued to cry.

"I want Athrun," Cagalli told him simply. Kira smiled, he knew that something happened at the cabin and heard from Kisaka about the situation with earth versus PLANT. It was a war that was about to happen again and due to this tragedy old wounds were now reopened.

"He's up in PLANT, he'll be fine." Kira assured his sister and held her close. She just continues to pour out tears and mumble a few things to herself. Kira just sighed and let it get out of her system till she was ready to speak.

"Kira, why did all of the things have to happen?" Cagalli asked and looked up at her brother with her tear stained face and red eyes. "I mean, couldn't our two years of peace last more than that? We worked so hard to bring peace among coordinators and naturals and here they are fighting all over again. People want a reason to be angry and to hate someone when something goes wrong."

"That might be true Cagalli," Kira wiped some of the tears from his sister's face. "Whatever decisions you make, I'll be by your side. I know that if worse comes to worse I might help the coordinators but it also depends on them. I support what you decide for Orb, and I know it will be from great pressure from the council members."

Cagalli nodded and leaned into her brother's embrace, "What about Athrun?"

Kira smiled, "He would understand the most out of all us. He is after all your husband."

"Thanks Kira," Cagalli said and had worn her body out by crying as much as she did. She began to drift into sweet slumber and wondered what was in store for her. She didn't know much of the world beyond her bedroom at that moment in time. She felt as if she was a little child in the embrace of a father.

Kira knew this was going to be a heavy burden time for her, and knew that with multiple things to worry about she needs no more stress. He picked her up once she had fell sound asleep to place her on her bed. Kira gently laid the girl down and wiped more of the tears that were still fresh.

Kisaka arrived to see the scene before him. He noticed there was nothing wrong with the surroundings but he still came after Kira had called him to let him know Cagalli had let out a scream. He sighed in relief and stood over the bed next to Kira.

"The reason for scream," Kisaka asked as he watched the tender scene between brother and sister.

"She's under a lot of pressure and needs her husband," Kira told him frankly.

"Already missing him," Kisaka sighed. "I've never known her to miss someone so much in her life. But Athrun seems to prove us wrong every time, especially when it comes to the subject of Cagalli. He can even get her to wear a dress."

Kira laughed at the last comment, "Well, she'll just have to be strong. Athrun will return to her once he gets the chance, but right now all we can do is wait for his return and provide the support."

"You're right." Kisaka patted Kira on the back. "I just wish that boy didn't go off to PLANT to talk with Dullindal. It would make things much more easier if…" Kisaka was interrupted by a beeping sound and went over to Cagalli's computer. He typed in the pass code, he had to basically twist her arm to get it out of her. It was Athrun and Cagalli's secret way of communication.

After Kisaka placed the code in, Athrun's face appeared on the screen. He appeared tired and worn out, "Hey."

"Well, look who it is Kira, it's Athrun," Kisaka said teasingly as Kira went over to the screen. "Couldn't you have beeped just a few minutes earlier?"

"Why? What's the matter?" Athrun asked worriedly.

Kira sighed, "Orb informed Cagalli at sundown that, Earth Forces and some of the Eurasia forces are seeing PLANT as an enemy state. They are planning to take measures to insure a pure and natural world."

"How is she taking it?" Athrun asked concerned and could see from his screen Cagalli on the bed.

"She's angry, like always. She was also requesting the presence of her husband," Kira told him with a heavy sigh. "She'll be fine, but I have a feeling that Yuuna Roma is part of the group against Cagalli. He was here earlier forcing engagement on her."

"What?" Athrun asked as anger flashed through his eyes.

"If Cagalli were to marry, as you well know, leadership would be shared with her husband," Kisaka said dryly. "If Cagalli were to die in any case, husband would take full responsibly for Orb in Cagalli's place. The arrangement was made originally by cabinet as a way of insuring someone from Orb took the role, especially after your appearance Athrun. They feared Cagalli and you would grow to close and not share similar ideas of Orb."

"So now that information about Cagalli has been released, they are possibly using it to get ride of Cagalli," Athrun stated simply. "When I get back, I'm going to rip him to shreds!"

"I think you've been around Cagalli, way too much." Kira stated simply and Athrun turned from angry to embarrassment. "Don't worry, you two are married now. So it's allowed for you to be somewhat like her."

"Not funny, Kira."

"I thought it was," Kisaka smiled and Athrun just groaned.

"Athrun," a sleepy voice called and Athrun would have shot up if it were not that he was billions of miles away from her. Cagalli sat up and saw his face on the screen and waved to him.

Athrun did the same, "How are you?"

"Feel like a bus ran me over," Cagalli said simply and sighed. "I wish you were still here, but just remember stay safe and come home soon."

"I will try to make it back as quickly as I can," Athrun told her. "I heard about what the council told you earlier. No matter what happens I'm with you, and don't let them push you around too much."

Cagalli smiled, "It's hard when it's only one person who sees both sides. Though now, Orb council wants to side with Earth to keep face with them since we leave on the planet."

"Hang in there, Cagalli." Athrun said with warm eyes that made Cagalli forget the trouble of the day. He was always supportive of her, and she missed his presence even more she thought about it.

"I'll try," Cagalli told him weakly but she was still tired and her body was telling her to return to sleep.

"Cagalli, you are tired go ahead and rest. I'll give you a call later when you are more awake," Athrun smiled. "I'll try to contact you as soon as I know I'm able to get back to you. I love you."

Cagalli blushed at the fact he openly told her that he loves her in front of Kisaka and Kira. Both men just looked at each and smiled, "Well then, old friend. We'll put my sleeping sister to bed and you get here soon so I don't get my hair pulled."

Athrun laughed, "I'll try. See you soon, everyone."

With that the screen was turned off, Cagalli was to put to bed. Kisaka made sure he stayed in the house the rest of the evening as Kira went off to Lacus and the children. He knew the children wanted to see her but Cagalli needed her rest and was needed at the cabin office.

"Hey there," Lacus greeted him as she watched him walk over to her. She was waiting up for him, he had called letting her know that he would be a little late since there was something going on with Cagalli.

"Hey beautiful, what are you doing up?" Kira asked as he placed a kiss on her lips.

"Waiting for you," Lacus told him with a warm smile. "How's Cagalli?"

"She's alright, but I think with pressure from the council and Athrun being up at PLANT isn't doing well for her spirits," Kira told her as the two went inside.

"That's not good for her, but once Athrun returns home we'll be fine." Lacus said simply as the two made their way over to the couch.

"Yes, but the question is with all of the events going on currently, will Athrun be able to make it back as soon as he wants?" Kira sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"We have to have faith in Athrun, as well as in Cagalli. Although she knows what the right decision may be, but the council seems to think other wise and will more than likely out rule her. They probably would say it was her decision since she is the leader and will take the fall and if there is blame, that too as well." Lacus sighed in small amount of sadness.

"Yes, and it is a shame but a price to pay as leader of a country," Kira stated simply. "I wonder what would have happened if Cagalli and I grew up together. Would we have grown up in Orb's 'royal family' or with my parents?"

"Who knows now," Lacus stated simply. "You are meant to be kind and strong, and Cagalli is meant to be strong willed and never moving. It wouldn't have matter how you two were raised; it would always be the same on how you two would turn out. It may be a little different since you are a coordinator and Cagalli is part coordinator."

"You're right Lacus," Kira pulled Lacus into his arms as the two just sat there on the couch in the dark.

"Aren't I always?" Lacus said softly and Kira just chuckled.

"Depends," Kira teased and earned a small punch to the stomach. "What was that for?"

"For doubting that I am always right," Lacus stuck her tongue out at him and then grew silent. "Kira?"

"Yes…"

"What do you think about children," Lacus asked nervously.

"I think they're great why do you ask?" Kira looked over at her and she placed his hands on her stomach. "Lacus…"

"I'm two months pregnant," Lacus said simply and Kira kissed her gently. "You're not mad?"

"Why would I be?" Kira said warmly and his eyes filled with pride. "This is our child Lacus, a new beginning for us. Though I would say the timing is off by A LOT due to the situation. However, I could never be mad at something we did together."

"Oh, Kira!" Lacus hugged him tightly and Kira just smiled.

"It seems, my lady is happy," Kira pulled away a little bit to see Lacus crying tears of joy. He smiled and wiped them away, "So in about seven months we will have more children to play with."

Lacus laughed, for the both of them being with the children of the orphanage have made them act like parents almost all the days. However, to have a child of their own was something that excited Kira and Lacus. It would a huge step forward in their lives but something well worth it.

"So what names do you want to give the child if it is a boy and if it is a girl?" Lacus asked and Kira just shrugged. "What was your friend's name that gave his life during the war?"

"Tolle," Kira said simply and Lacus nodded.

"If it is a boy, we name him after your friend," Lacus said simply and Kira smiled. "What about a girl's name?"

"We'll think of something later, I think mom, you need to go to sleep." Kira lifted Lacus into his arms and carried her into their bedroom. Lacus giggled and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

If only everyone could have more pleasant moments, but some will be taken by nightmares, loneliness and trials before things would clear.

Well everyone I will see you next chapter. I can't wait to see more of destiny, hey so did Athrun actually just propose in ep 8? Even though he didn't come out and directly say it? Or just my wishful thinking?
