Hey all! This chapter is longer than the others for no special reason, it just happened. Anyway, I'm only concerned about one thing in this chapter and that is the change of emotions. Please tell me if the transitions between emotions was too moody and/or rushed and/or just plain bad writing.

P.S. I got internet at home! Yay!

Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass but I do own like a bunch of Owl City songs which provide great inspiration for me. :D

Chapter 11: Confronting

Kallen refused to cry. It had been almost a week since the "running into Lelouch and finding out that he was married" incident and though she realized it left her a bit isolated from the world and from her friends, she thought silence was better than crying her eyes out.

"Kallen, you should really stop watching all those sad, romance movies. I doubt they'll help you feel any better," Millay said as she popped her head into Kallen's room. Kallen was sitting on the floor with her television turned up loud, an image of a woman crying over her murdered lover stretched across the screen.

"I'm fine, Millay," Kallen said, bitterly, not turning an eye to her friend. She was burning up on the inside with jealousy as she heard Rivalz whispering to Millay from her doorway. Millay sighed, whispered something to Rivalz and massaged her temple.

"I'll be back in an hour, is there anything you'd like me to get for you?" Millay asked.

"No," Kallen grumbled, "I'm fine."

"Let's leave her alone, sometimes that helps better than trying to talk her out of it," Rivalz whispered, eager to get away from the dreary atmosphere the red head was creating. Ever since Millay had broken her silence the week before, he had felt involved in the drama and it was affecting him badly. Sometimes he would lie awake for half of the night thinking about whether or not to tell Lelouch, and if telling the proclaimed bad ass mechanic would make things better or worse.

"Ok," Millay said as she sighed again. She was feeling conflicted at the moment. She was afraid to leave Kallen alone. Her best friend was in a vulnerable position and Millay didn't want to feel the immeasurable guilt and loss if something bad happened to Kallen the moment she took her eyes off of her. Yet, she was stressed out by worrying about her. Both of them hadn't been to school the whole week, and only Millay was making an effort to keep up with the studying and workload. More than once that week she had found herself staying up late and depriving herself of sleep just so Kallen could get a grade for a paper or a test. Her nerves were severely frayed and she was using her entire will power to not snap at people.

Rivalz grasped the knob of the door and closed it, leaving Kallen feeling even more alone than she thought possible. Instead of the intended good deed of leaving her alone to make her feel better working, Kallen felt abandoned and she knew it was all her fault. She looked at her stomach that wasn't in its usual flat as a pancake form but wasn't bulging out and for the first time she felt fear about carrying and having the baby and taking care of him or her. Did she really want that to happen? Did she seriously want to be a single mother? What about adoption or…what about abortion?

Millay tried to clear her head of the fears she had for Kallen, but she simply couldn't. She felt Rivalz's arms encircle her waist and pull her close to him. Tears gathered in her eyes and started to roll down her cheek.

"Stop crying, it makes no sense you cry," he said softly to her as he nuzzled her neck. His action soothed her pain and she wiped her tears away.

"It's hard. I don't know how much longer I can keep this up," she said, turning to face him.

"Let's not think about it for the one hour we're going to be out," he said, hating the way that Millay thought it was partly her fault, like she could have done something to stop it, but she hadn't.

"I'll try, but I can't promise you anything…I'm sorry. I'm sorry I've been so worried and stressed out lately. I shouldn't make you of all people suffer," she said guiltily as she turned to face him.

"You're not making me suffer, you can never make me suffer…well…not in this way. The only way you can make me suffer is if you refuse to kiss me," he said, his lips hovering right above hers. She bit down on her bottom lip, an unknown to her turn-on for him. Her heart still fluttered in her chest whenever it came to kissing. She was madly inexperienced but loved it none-the less. She closed her eyes and pressed her lips to his. And magic happened. She had expected the 'light on her feet' feeling to fade a little every time they kissed, but she was proved wrong every time.

"I…I needed that," Millay said when he had pulled away, keeping her body trapped between him and the closed door.

"Uh huh, I knew you did," he said. He leaned forward and pecked her on the mouth. Millay sighed into his light kisses, her body suddenly gaining this strange feeling that she didn't want to give in to.

"Stop…we should probably leave," she said, turning away from him so that his lips kissed her cheek instead of her mouth. She couldn't allow him to do anything more than kiss her. Even though she knew he was a sensitive guy, she was afraid that he would abandon her if things got out of hand, and she didn't want that to happen. He stepped back from her respectfully.

"Sorry, I just can't help it sometimes," he said.

"It's ok…I kinda like it…I'm just not ready for that intimate a relationship," she said, moving away from the door. Rivalz nodded in understanding.

"I get it," he answered. Millay smiled. What had she done to deserve him?

Kallen didn't have to be spying on them to know what was happening in the hallway. There were kissing, innocent kisses because Millay would never sleep with a guy unless they were married and he had to take full responsibility for everything. She was smart, so very much unlike her. She drew her knees up to her chest, folded her arms on top of them and rested her head on them, trying to drown out her thoughts with the movie.

She didn't hear Millay and Rivalz leave; she wasn't timing them either, so when a knock came on the door, it drew her roughly out of the movie. She tried to ignore it, but the knocking started up every few seconds.

"Can't believe she left her keys," Kallen grumbled as she got to her feet. She searched her bedside table for the front door key. She found it and drew her feet behind her as she made her way over to the door, the barrage of knocks continuing. She put the key into the lock, turned it and swung the door open. Her breathing stopped temporarily when she saw Lelouch with his hand held up, ready to continue knocking on her door.

"Lelouch!" She yelled.

"Kallen," he said softly and stepped into the hallway and into her. He pushed her against the wall and kissed her. She struggled against him, feeling a shocked dirty pleasure at having him all over her. She pushed her hand against his chest and pushed as hard as she could.

"Stop kissing me," she said when she managed to detach his lips from hers.

"Why should I? You do know that you don't have a say about what to do with your body any longer?" He asked in a low, husky voice as his pelvis pressed against hers.

"Get off of me, Lelouch. Leave me alone. Go home to your wife," she said, struggling against him. But she was weak in resolve and he was stronger than her so she ended up being pinned to the wall in an erotic pose. She was hugely uncomfortable but slightly turned on. She told herself it was her out of balance hormones that liked what was happening and wanted to go further with it.

"I've been waiting outside for hours, trying to catch you in this apartment all alone, you're going to have to kill me to get rid of me," he said.

"I don't want you to be here…I can't manage you being here. Why didn't you tell me you were married? What am I talking about, I don't even know who you are!" She yelled, tears forming in her eyes. He unpinned her from the wall and simply hugged her. He would have to be there for her now. He would have to be there for both her and his child.

"To hell with C.C. Do you know how many times I've wanted to set the bitch on fire?" He asked with Kallen pressed against his chest, a smile noticeable in his tone.

"Well you didn't and you've put me in a very embarrassing situation. I think it's best if we continue staying apart," she said, trying to be rational although her emotions raged inside her.

"You are not getting rid of me that easily…why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?" He asked, his playful tone becoming more serious. He didn't move away from Kallen and she didn't try to push him away either.

"I…I just found out. Besides…what would you be doing with a pregnant whore?" She said softly. And that was truly how she viewed herself.

"I should bitch slap you cross the face, but I won't because you're bringing my first baby. Where did you come up with the idea that you're a whore? You're not a whore, just a sexy bitch," He said and Kallen knew that this was him being nice.

"You don't want this baby…I don't want this baby," she said, looking down at their toes. His fingers raked through her short red hair before he tilted her head up so that she could look into his eyes.

"I want this baby. Our child is not going to grow up in a foster home or with adopted parents. Our child is going to live with us. I promise you that this child is going to have both a dad," he pointed at himself, "and a mom," and he pointed at Kallen. She shook her head, her tears gone.

"I'm not ready for a child. I don't know how to take care of one. Lelouch…I'm having an abortion," she whispered to him.

"Damn it! You are not going to kill my child!" He yelled, flinging his fist into the wall behind them. Kallen jumped slightly and her heart rate picked up.

"It's not your choice, Lelouch. It's mine." Her tone was bitter.

"No…no. I won't allow it. Kallen, I won't allow you to kill this baby," he said and Kallen's answer was cut off by the tears she saw forming in his eyes. He tried to blink them back, and he succeeded. That was the closest she had ever seen a man come to crying.

"Le…Lelouch…Lulu," she said, unsure of how to respond.

"Please don't…I'm begging you. Don't go through with this," he whispered.

"Ok…ok I won't," she said, more afraid of him than she had been before. His lips crashed down on hers unexpectedly, his pent up passion too much to control any longer. Kallen didn't fight back as she was quickly lost in the moment. Her thoughts began to spin. Did this mean that they were a couple? What about his wife? What relationship did they really have? Did he care about her, Kallen Stadfeld? Or did he feel connected and obliged to her because of what was in her stomach? Who was he? She had never figured that one out.

It was a heated moment between them. He was rough with her. His lips burned hers in beautiful pleasure and his hands touched her irreverently, but she didn't care. Her body began to respond in a way she never knew was possible. She willingly pressed herself to him, her soft moans tickling his ears and fueling his need for her. They moved from the wall, totally caught up with kissing each other and stumbled into Kallen's room and onto her bed.

A thought was emanating from deep within the recesses of her mind.

Stop. It was saying. And her blouse fluttered to the floor.

STOP. It said again. Lelouch was unbuttoning his shirt.

STOP! It shouted at her and she broke away from Lelouch, his shirt lying beside her blouse on the floor.

"No," she said, "we shouldn't. You're married…" she said and rolled off on him, her eyes lingering on his chest. She expected him to be angry and to explode, maybe scare her some more, but instead he sighed and agreed with her.

"You're right. I'm sorry. I was just…frustrated…emotionally. Doesn't happen to me a lot you know," he said as he sat up slowly on her bed, keeping his eyes on her. His violet eyes burned with suppressed desire as he watched her pull her blouse down over her breasts and then over her stomach. She turned around and caught him staring lustfully at her. It made her feel uneasy and she began to fidget on spot.

"What…what are we going to do?" She asked, trying to break the silence that had settled in the room and the trance that had seemed to engulf Lelouch. She saw the change in his eyes immediately and she sat a little way off from him, ready to discuss the issue of her pregnancy with him. He turned his eyes to her and flipped his hair out of his face. Kallen held her breath for a second when he did that. It was sort of like his trademark and it gave her strange feelings anytime he did it.

"We're going to raise this child, together, whether you like it or not," he answered simply. Kallen bit her bottom lip nervously, her trademark.

"I don't want a life with you," she retorted.

"You don't? Well, that's sad, isn't it? I was hoping you'd make this easy for me," he said and in the blink of an eye he was on his feet and his hands were around Kallen's waist. It took another second for it to register in her head that she was hanging over his shoulder and he was heading to the front door.

"Lelouch! Lelouch! Put me down!" She yelled as she tried to pound her fists and knees into him.

"Nope, we're doing this my way," he answered as he tried to absorb her attacks as best he could. Damn, this was harder than he thought, way harder!

"I'm not going with you! Put me down now!" She yelled and her knee connected with his jaw. Her spasmodic movements caused him to tilt out of balance and she managed to scramble to the floor. She took off running down the corridor and he followed her.

She shrieked as she slid dangerously on Millay's rug set at the entrance of her room. The room was immaculate and not a piece of fabric was out of place. Kallen ran over to the windows and peeped through, hoping Millay and Rivalz had forgotten something and had turned back to get it.

Lelouch was close behind and he grabbed at her, his fingertips brushing against her blouse as she dodged him and jumped on the bed. She crawled across the bed like a soldier on an obstacle course and tumbled off of the bed almost gracefully. Lelouch jumped on the bed, hoping to trap her there, but she was too quick. She was out the door before she could scramble off of the floor.

"Hey, Kallen! Get back here!" He yelled. He laughed as he stumbled out of Millay's room, spotting some red hair dipping into another room. He ran after her and was greeted by a cup of water being flung into his face and someone giggling uncontrollably.

"I like this look on you, it's so sexy," Kallen mocked him as she smirked in satisfaction. She ducked from his arms as they reached for her once again, a grin spreading across her face. She flung open the refrigerator and quickly grabbed a container filled with…something. She opened it and flung it at Lelouch. Her laughter escaped as a snort followed by her covering her mouth when she realized that she had just flung some noodles and soup on him. He paused in his tracks as cold soup dripped down his clothes and gathered in small puddles at his feet. The noodles were draped over his head and were hanging from his shoulders. He picked one from his hair and tasted it.

"Did you make this?" He asked. She nodded proudly.

"Yes, yes I did," she answered.

"No wonder my tongue just went numb," he insulted playfully. Her eyes narrowed at him and she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Hey! What's that supposed to…" she began to ask. She was interrupted by Lelouch once again making a grab at her. She turned to run, but her toe got caught on a rug and down they both went.

"Ouch," she said, rolling over onto her back.

"You're a slippery fox," he said from beside her. She glanced to her left and saw Lelouch staring dazedly at something on the ceiling.

"Obviously," she said, making an attempt to get up. She cringed as a sharp pain attacked her side.

"Hey, are you ok?" Lelouch asked when he noticed her grab her side.

"Yeah, I think so. I should probably stop falling since I'm…you know…" she said.

"Pregnant?" He finished her sentence for her. She nodded and tried to get to her feet. The pain in her side kept her grounded.

"Stay still, I'll get you up," he said as he stood to his feet. She stretched out her arms to him and he grabbed them firmly, pulling her quickly, effortlessly and almost painlessly to her feet. She couldn't help leaning against him slightly as the pain persisted. Lelouch noticed this and he began to worry.

"I should sit," she said, moving away from him. He held on to her firmly.

"Or maybe you should go to the doctor," he said.

"I went there yesterday," she said, "I'm fine. Give me some time," she snapped.

"When since did you have so much attitude?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Since I discovered I was going to have a child," she said.

"Don't let me throw you over my shoulder again…because I will. And I can't promise to be gentle this time," he threatened. Kallen sighed, rolled her eyes and slumped.

"Fine," she drew out the word. Lelouch smirked.

"Don't look so glum Bunny, at least you'll be with me," he said in a low voice, his lips close to her ears. She turned her head away from him, and since he didn't have access to her mouth, he started nibbling her neck. She squirmed and tried to pull away from him.

"You're married…remember," she answered, managing to successfully gain space between the two of them.

"Not for much longer," he said.

"How could you have forgotten to mention to me that you were married? I thought you had told Nunally that just to please her," she answered, ignoring the pain.

"Because C.C. and I are supposed to be divorced," he said, "but it turns out we weren't properly divorced…well…that's what C.C. told me," he added.

"Oh," she said, understanding things much better now that he had explained it.

"I didn't question her evidence because, well…I wasn't dealing well with you leaving and my level of horniness sky rocketed," he admitted.

"Oh," Kallen said, blushing this time.

"That's why I want you to come and live with me," he said.

"What?" Kallen asked, completely taken aback by the suddenness of his proposal.

"I hate C.C. She's a cheating whore. I figured…since you're going to have my child and I want to be in this child's life…why not do it together from day one," he said in an uncertain voice. It was obvious he wasn't used to talking to anyone like this – gently and honestly.

"Huh?" Kallen asked. Her shock had reduced her so far to one syllable responses.

"It's not exactly a proposal but…please say yes," he said as he bit the insides of his cheek, his eyes bright with hope.

"I…I don't…wow," she said. What did she really have to say to this?

"Just say yes and get your ass into my car," he said, returning to his uncaring persona.

"No," Kallen found herself saying.

"No?" He asked.

"No," she defended her statement.

"No!" Lelouch shouted.

"Yes! I said no!" Kallen retorted, knowing that if they continued a lot of confusion would ensue.

"No! You mean yes!" He said with narrowed eyes.

"No! I mean no!" She screamed at him.

"You're coming to live with me," he grabbed her hand. She smacked it away.

"Over my dead body," she said, also narrowing her eyes.

"Gladly," he said and scooped her up into his arms, holding her tightly against him.

"Lulu! Let me go! Do we have to do this again?" She tried not to sound too whiny. She couldn't move even if she tried. Her side hurt like hell.

"Just say you'll live with me. I'll take care of you. You'll have everything you want. I'll be there for you every minute of every day. Think of me as your man servant. Your wish will be my command. Plus, you won't be stressing Millay and Rivalz out anymore," he said. The last sentence silenced her.

"You don't exactly live in a safe place," she mumbled, surprising herself that she was actually considering it.

"Not a problem, I've already got a new place," he said.

"Ok then…if I do agree to live with you then…no sexual advances. I don't want you to do anything vaguely romantic or anything that involves unnecessary close contact, kissing or anything like that," she said.

"Impossible. Remember that I knocked you up, plus I think you're sexy, I have a thing for you," he said.

"You have to promise and agree with my terms or my answer is no," she said, standing firm…well, not literally of course. Lelouch seemed to consider it for a few moments then he sighed and let Kallen go, placing her gently on the floor.

"Agreed," he said, stretching out his hand to her. Her eyebrows lifted in pleasant surprise. He was already trying to be civil. She took his hand to shake it, but he pulled her against him, his hand grabbing her bum as he kissed her fervently for what he considered the last time. Kallen was too shocked to react as his tongue pushed through her defense and engaged with hers in a battle for control. Her breasts were squashed firmly against his chest and he moaned in approval into the kiss. After what seemed like 5 minutes he pulled away from her with a smirk.

"That was hot," he said huskily.

"Lelouch! You promised!" She screeched as she shoved him away.

"You're not living with me yet, princess. How bout one more kiss for the road?" He asked. She growled at him, eyebrows furrowed.

Not many surprises here, but interesting developments as you can see. Oooo. Kallen and Lelouch living together again, how exciting! What do you guys think will happen this time?

Thanks to my reviewers! Please continuing telling me what I'm doing wrong or what I'm doing right, you guys are my light in the darkness. Keep rocking:
