It was the late afternoon and Daniel still looked dead. Uriel looked at Daniel still remembering the first time he saw that look on his face.
Flashback
It was Chaos in Apilirus One news of Junius 7's destruction traveled like wildfire it was ether someone crying because a loved one passed on due to the attack or someone vowing for vengeance ether way this was nuts. Everyone scrambled like they were chickens with heads cut off. But then they all stopped when they see the Inanna dock once they saw it they knew that the ship and a pilot of ZIA went to Junius 7 for a routine patrol that became the battle of the Bloody Valentine. Uriel and Haman along with the councilmen Clyne and Zala had arrived once they heard about the Inanna coming back.
Everyone went quiet when the Blazer came out of the Inanna that when Zala noticed that the Blazer was holding something, the Blazer's head looked down as if it was ashamed then it kneeled down and opened its hand.
"No." Patrick whispered as he fell to his knees as he saw his wife's corpse.
Siegel placed his hand on Patrick's shoulder as Patrick started to cry.
The Cockpit of the Blazer opened and Uriel saw the dead look on Daniel's face.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry." Daniel said over and over again in a dead tone.
End Flashback
Zala was inconsolable and Daniel understandingly was sadden as well Athrun at the very least thanked Daniel for bringing his mother to at least bury her. He knew that his retirement had been accelerated because of this.
Uriel prays that she can heal Daniel or at the very least hold him together.

Location
Zabi Estate
Zeon Colony
Haman was worried as she paced around her sister's home wondering what she should do. On one hand she could just turn away Daniel but on the other it did not feel right to deny him his right to see his child.
"What am I going to do?" Haman said.
"Be calm little sister." Marlene said in a gentle tone.
"I am calm!" Haman shouted until she realized to whom she shouted at.
"I'm Sorry Marlene I shouldn't have shouted at you." Haman said as Marlene shakes her head.
"Don't worry baby sister you knew this day would come." Marlene said with a smile.
"I know big sister." Haman said worried about Daniel's mental health.
"I know you're sadden by this especially with what happen to Junius 7." Marlene said as she wiped a tear from Haman's face.
"Haman the kid's crying again." Said a young woman.
"I'll check on her Serrana." Haman said as Serrana nod.
Haman walks away from her sisters and towards her destination her daughter's room
5 minutes later
Haman entered the room walked up towards a blue crib where a baby girl was whimpering Haman picked up the girl.
"Hey there sweetie its ok don't' cry mommy's here." Haman said as the baby's tears stopped.
"There you go, now will be a good girl for your daddy." Haman said as the baby giggled.
Haman gave the baby a smile and hopes that she will make Daniel smile once more.
A day later
Haman's home
Daniel and Uriel have arrived at Haman's House Haman greeted them and was shocked that Daniel looked so dead.
"Daniel are you ok?" Haman asked.
"No." Daniel said as Haman facepalmed.
Haman felt stupid for asking such a stupid question.
"Haman Uriel said I was going to meet someone, do you know who she is?" Daniel asked as he knew the person Uriel wanted him to meet was a girl.
"Of course I'll go get her." Haman said.
Haman got up and went to another room and after a few minutes she came back with a Baby in a blanket.
Haman moved the blanket a bit to reveal her black hair with pink tips and her heterochromic eyes one dark honey and the other a light shade of blue.
Daniel was shocked he recognized that shade of Blue and Honey the blanket was purple and when the kid looked at him she smiled and wanted to get a closer look. Daniel couldn't but ask.
"Who is she Haman?" Daniel asked his eyes wide open.
(Insert 8 melodies Music box cover by Mr. Music box)
"She is Cattleya Rebeca Karn nee Vivas, Our Daughter." Haman said as she held her out for Daniel to hold.
Daniel was stunned his Daughter when was she conceived.
"When was she-?" Daniel asked until Haman interrupted him.
"When you got promoted to Red Coat 2 years ago." Haman said with a small blush.
Daniel went wide eyed and his face dusted with a slight pink.
"Can I hold her?" Daniel nervously asked.
"Of course you can she is your daughter after all." Haman said.
Daniel took Cattleya from Haman's hands and held her close he could see her face, her smile and the love in her eyes he wondered if this what was like when his held him or when his older brother Edison held Maya for the first time he felt true joy. He still felt the weight of Junius 7 but he felt that weight lessen a bit just by a bit.
"How could I've been so stupid, why did I try to." Daniel said as he couldn't say the words as he cried.
Haman hugged Daniel and Cattleya gently as to not hurt Cattleya.
Uriel left the new family alone so that they could bond, Uriel knew that he did the right thing by letting them bond.
He knew this wouldn't end Daniel's nightmares nor Memories of the Bloody Valentine but it was a start. The last thing Uriel saw Daniel holding on to Cattleya close to his heart with a big smile on his face.

2 weeks later
The past two weeks have been great for Daniel after meeting Cattleya his got filled with a bit more responsibility from changing Diapers to feeding her and seeing a therapist as well. He laso learned a lot of thing about Cattleya. Her Birthday was on January 8th C.E 69, she liked the color purple she's a Daddy's little girl and was allergic to shellfish. All in all it was going good but now he needed to show both Haman and Uriel the future that was to come.
But he knew he needed to fight in this war and so did Zala, as expected with the loss of his wife Patrick's hate for naturals grew and he ordered Daniel to fight he said yes but only if he could be deployed in mid-April Zala agreed and gave Daniel until the 15th of April to recover.
Another thing that had happen during his funk was that a new Merc group called Morningstar they only took jobs from ZAFT and ORB he and his group all of them used Neo-Zeon MS's and ships needless to say it made Haman say that she what these MS's are but didn't know why.
Which was fine by him more time to play with his little Orchid.
And to tell the Medic Haro to research the Alliance's Extended program and to cure it.
But now Daniel was going to ZIA headquarters to speak to both Uriel and Haman, Haman had left Cattleya to her sisters to babysit. Daniel was worried like any other parent would be but he could trust Haman's sisters.
Daniel entered the room where Both Haman and Uriel sitting waiting for Daniel to arrive.
Daniel took a deep breath and walked in as he knew he was doing this for not only ZAFT but also for his little Orchid.
"Ah Daniel good morning." Uriel asked.
"Daniel how are you?" Haman asked.
"I'm fine but I need to something that could affect the entirety of the War." Daniel said as he pulls two DVDs from his coat pocket.
The DVDs said Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and SEED Destiny.
Both Haman and Uriel were confused about this what this had to do with the War they didn't but after seeing it they'd wish they didn't.
Somewhere in Space
"And that is what I need you to do." Leopold said to Wave and Kurome.
"We understand Leopold." Kurome said as Wave nods.
The two walked away leaving Leopold alone he knows that he is running out of time and that he need to fight Daniel this is his last chance.
He knew Daniel was broken but something told him that he'll be just fine.
