Wedding Game 10

A Few Days Later

Shiho, Yzak and Dearka were sitting the lunchroom. They had returned to the PLANTS only a few days previous and now had returned to work.

"I'm glad you two chose to kiss and makeup," Dearka said stuffing half of a sandwich into his mouth. "I mean it would've been really awkward for me had you two still been fighting and I had to like be friends with both of you," he said. Yzak frowned.

"Well I'm glad you are looking out for our happiness," Shiho teased.

"Yeah…you guys are lucky to have a friend like me," he slurped his soda. Shiho giggled.

"Alright well I'm going back," she stood quickly.

"What's the rush?" Yzak said watching her stand up.

"Well a certain Commander I know will be pretty pissed if I don't get my work done," she said. Yzak chuckled.

"That's true but I think he'd forgive you if you let him stay over tonight," he said grabbing her hand.

"Yzak…I told you I'm having dinner with my mother tonight. I can't have you over," she sighed.

"Let me come. I can meet your mother," he suggested. Shiho began to protest but suddenly she stopped. Her mother had been pestering her about getting a boyfriend and Yzak would hopefully be a perfect gentleman. Hopefully. She sighed.

"Alright…but you have to look and act like a perfect gentleman. No funny stuff," she said.

"When am I ever not serious?" he asked. Shiho shrugged. Yzak slouched back down after she exited the room. "Shit."

"You know…meeting parents is the first step in commitment," Dearka said. Yzak glared at him.

"And what makes you think that I don't want commitment. Maybe I want to settle down," he said thinking of his own mother's nagging comments about how she would never have grandchildren. Dearka looked at him wide eyed.

"Geez you get one girl and you're holding on tight." Yzak frowned. "And who would've guessed it would be Shiho Hahenfuss," Dearka said.

"What's wrong with Shiho? She's a beautiful, professional, sophisticated woman. I think she's…special," he said. Dearka smirked.

"Heh…you're so head over heels in love," Dearka said.

"Yeah well at least I'm trying to make a commitment," he said. "It's only been a month and a half for me. How about you? 7 and counting?" Yzak asked.

"Hey! Look…ever since the wedding I've been thinking…of getting a ring. You know Miri and I HAVE been together for awhile…I think it might be good idea to start settling down." Yzak stared for a few minutes. He blinked a few times staring at Dearka. "What?"

"Nothing, I just wasn't expecting that to be your response."

"Really? Maybe your right…" Yzak scoffed.

"Whatever," he said standing up to leave.

"Wait! Um…will you come with me?" Dearka asked quickly.

"What?" Yzak snapped. "Come with you where?"

"To pick out a ring. I mean…it's really important what if I mess it up!" Dearka whined. Yzak rolled his eyes.

"Whatever," he said walking towards his office.

"Please! PLEASE!" Dearka was begging, which was never a good sign. Yzak turned slowly.

"Fine," he mumbled.

"Great. Let's go after work."

"Alright, but I do have to be ready for this dinner." Yzak shuddered a bit. He wasn't sure what he had been thinking when he had asked Shiho to have dinner with her mother. It meant he had to be presentable and it was starting to worry him. And Yzak Joule did not like being worried. Though he knew she would be equally nervous when meeting his own mother, which he hoped would be soon.


Kira awoke next to Lacus. She was sleeping so soundly, he couldn't help but smile at her.

"I love you," he said aloud as she continued to sleep peacefully. He shivered a bit. He had to tell her and he was beyond nervous. Everyone he'd talked to agreed.

"Kira?" Lacus said sleepily.

"L…Lacus!" Kira responded surprised.

"Is everything ok?" she asked sitting up.

"Yes…I mean no…I mean…I don't know," he looked away. Lacus grasped his hand and squeezed it gently.

"Kira…please talk to me.

"Lacus…I," he began. She looked at him intently waiting for him to say something. "I'm scared…of being a father."

"What?" she said giggling slightly.

"I mean…not only is there one! There's two!" he turned to face her and he took her hands in his. "I mean I don't want you to think that I'm not excited, because II am! I really am! I'm so happy. This is what you want. What WE want…but I can't help feeling slightly uneasy. I mean…what if I completely fail. I have no idea what it means to be a good father." He shook his head trying desperately to avoid eye contact.

"Kira…why didn't you say something to me?"

"I was nervous, you'd be mad. And you were so happy! I didn't want to disappoint you!"

"You're not disappointing me! I feel the same way," she said. She placed her hands on her belly. "I'm going to get really fat. And I have to have two kids at one time. From what I hear, one is painful enough. I too am wondering whether or not I will be a good mother. Of course I'm scared as well." She smiled. Kira pulled her into a hug.

"I'm so…glad," he whispered. "I was so sure that you weren't feeling nervous. Don't worry about getting fat, it won't matter. And I'll be right there with you, the whole way," he smiled.

"Yes…we can learn together. Now come on…I'm so hungry!" she said pulling his hand. Will you make me something good?" she asked. Kira laughed.

"Anything you want," he said. He watched Lacus as she walked towards the bathroom. She was only about two months pregnant, so she wasn't showing, but that didn't stop Kira from thinking about it. He was happy to hear that Lacus was equally as nervous as he was.

"…ira? Kira?" Lacus smiled.

"Hm?" he asked.

"What are you looking at?" she asked.

"Oh just the most beautiful woman in the room," he stood up and wrapped his arms around her.

"I'm the only woman in the room," she said laughing.

"Oh you know what I meant," he said.

"Of course I did," she said.


"Athrun! Come in the water!" Cagalli waved to Athrun who was sitting on the beach. "It's warm!"

"I…really don't believe you," he said standing up and walking closer to the crashing waves. It was the second day of their honeymoon and Athrun was already starting to be worn out by Cagalli's constant energy. "And besides, don't you want to just relax?"

"No way! The water is beautiful. And how many chances do we have to just swim and not do anything!" She splashed water in his direction.

"Cut it out," he laughed and finally walked slowly into the water. It was indeed a lot warmer than he expect. Cagalli smirked and swam out farther. Athrun rolled his eyes and followed her. He placed his hand on her head. "I just can't resist you," he whispered.

"Oh I'm aware," she said giggling. The two swam around getting into splash fights and enjoying each other's company. "Oh man…I love the beach!" Cagalli cheered as she stood on the shore. She laid a towel out and began to lie down.

"This is nice," Athrun said after a few moment of silence. He really enjoyed relaxing, especially with Cagalli. Cagalli giggled suddenly.

"C'mon…cut it out Athrun," she said.

"Cut what out?" he asked.

"You're tickling my stomach," she said.

"Uh…no I'm not…" he said sitting up.

"What?" Cagalli opened her eyes, finding herself face to face with a lizard-type animal. "AHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed and stood up quickly, causing the lizard to fall. "W…what is that thing?!" she screamed pointing at the lizard who was staring at her.

"Oh wow! Can you believe it? This is the…" Athrun began to blab on and on about the lizard and where it came from and what it out. He was spouting a ridiculous amount of useless information. "This is so cool!" he picked it up.

"What are you doing?!" Cagalli yelled. "That thing…attacked me!" she said.

"It didn't attack you. It's perfect harmless. It walked on you. That's what it did," he said.

"Whatever! It still creeps me out." Athrun began to laugh hysterically. "I don't really find this funny." She said sitting back down after Athrun had put the lizard aside.

"You should've seen your face," he said still laughing. She smiled.

"It was creepy! But I guess it was kinda funny," she said.

"And you thought it was me!" he laughed.

"Yeah…well…whatever. I'm just glad that's over," she said.

"You are so cute," he said.

"What?" she asked surprised but the sudden change.

"You're adorable. I love you," he said leaning his head on her shoulder.

"I love you too. I'm glad you saved me from that…thing," she said.

"Ah yes, the vicious lizard," he said.

"Shut up! You're lucky I love you, Athrun Zala. Lizard nerd," she said.
