Hey, I managed to finish this one fast yay!
Yeah Cagalli's in a coma...
But I hope you'll enjoy this chapter...i know i did
Kira came in and said, "Morning Cagalli, still sleeping? Don't you get tired of laying there?"
You have no idea, I thought.
"Anyways, May said you totally healed. Why aren't you getting up Cagalli? We all need you here, especially Athrun. You should really end his misery," Kira said laughing a bit.
"Rau's dead you know," he said
Thank god, I thought.
"Yeah Athrun kicked his ass, with that bullet we made," Kira said, "Watching his pain was definitely the highlight of that day. But Cagalli, his pain didn't make up what that bastard did to you. If you remember Sean, he saved your life. He helped a lot. He rules the shadow demons now."
"You thought Athrun cheated on you right?" Kira said, "Athrun won't say anything, but how could you think of belittling Athrun like that? He loved you more then anyone in the world, more then his very own mother and you doubted his love. But you proved you love for him, and I know you two have a bright future together. Now quickly get up and slap me for just saying how I basically doubted your love for him in the first place."
Kira laughed a bit at no response from me and said, "How about this Cagalli, if you don't get up soon, I'll presume I'm right. You aren't fit for Athrun's love. Your love for him was so weak that you believed Madison's words of all thing. That girl's a slut. And didn't you notice that the girl Athrun was holding was blonde and did you even think of all the occurrences where your blood was taken, so that girl could look like you and distract Athrun for a while. He wasn't even fooled by the impostor for a minute."
"He loved you so much. He wouldn't rest for a minute when he was searching for you. And after he got his life back you're breaking his heart like this. If that's the case, don't ever get up but at least tell Athrun you have no feelings for him, so he can move on. You don't deserve his love."
"Please Cagalli," Kira said, "As Athrun's best friend I'm begging you to give his life back."
He left the room leaving me there. I moved my fingers trying to reach out for Kira.
I felt my tears spill down my cheek as I opened my eyes and it adjusted to the white ceiling.
"Athrun," I said crying, "I'm sorry."
I had to find him…tell him he was wrong. I felt my hand around and fell on the floor on my attempt to stand up. I gasped wheezing, trying to regain my breathing.
I used and bar to help my stand and wobbled using the wall as support and left the room. I turned left looking around for a way to get out.
"Athrun," I called out in a cracked voice. I heard alarms soon sound and in the fright I fell into a closet. I turned to look out only to have someone bash the door on my head. Wonderful.
With Kira…
"Eww hospital food," Kira mumbled carrying a sub, "Man I should really apologize to Cagalli that was harsh."
The sub fell from his hand and he looked at the empty room and rushed to security. He demanded to see a tape and sent out people to search for Cagalli.
He looked it over to see Cagalli get up and fall hard on the floor, and eventually leave the room.
"Where the hell was that stupid nurse," Kira said rushing out to look for Cagalli.
"Crap," Kira said, "Athrun will kill me."
Athrun took that moment to call him too.
"Hey man," Kira said nervously
"What'd you do?" Athrun said.
"I swear I just left for five minutes," Kira said
"SOMEONE KIDNAPPED CAGALLI?" Athrun yelled
"No, she got up and walked out," Kira said
"Did you just tell me Cagalli woke up and walked out?" Athrun questioned, "Are you serious?"
Kira heard the joy in Athrun's voice and said, "Yeah."
"Where is she, let me talk to her, I'll be right there," Athrun said
"That the problem," Kira said, "I can't find her."
"….WHAT?" Athrun said, "Where was the bloody nurse?"
'Great minds think alike don't they,' Kira thought.
"She's still this hospital though," Kira said.
"But who knows what could have happened to her!" Athrun, "I'll be there in two minutes, try to figure out what floor she's on."
Kira checked all the cameras and found out that she was still on the same floor.
"This floor," Kira said to Athrun as he came in.
"I'll look around," Athrun said walking to her room first to trail her scent. But it was weak outside her room. However he picked it up. He could recognize her scent anywhere, it was in his system.
He followed it to a closet and opened it to find Cagalli on the floor. He winced at the swollen bump on her forehead and would figure out who bashed the door on her head. He lifted up Cagalli and put her back into her room. He softly pressed her head and she sighed turning to face him, still asleep.
Athrun could finally sleep after a long time and did so holding her hand.
I didn't know when I woke up next, but the room was dark and warm. I was enveloped in a fuzzy feeling and I realized where it was from. It was Athrun.
I pulled my hand away in disgust, how could he touch me after Rau had contaminated me.
My body ached as I felt him warmth leave and I touched my chest in pain.
"Cagalli," Athrun called looking at me, up and yawning.
He smiled brightly at me and I turned away from him.
He tried to grab my hand and I pulled it away.
"What's wrong Cagalli?" he asked, "I swear I never cheated on you. You're the one I love, I promise. Madison was lying and that girl you saw me with, she looked exactly like you and it was dark, but as soon as I recognized her, I ran as fast as I could to find you…I'm so sorry Cagalli."
I didn't say anything but crossed my arms over my chest.
"Please believe me Cagalli," he whispered.
"I do Athrun," I said, "But would you still want me?"
"What are you talking about, I love you Cagalli. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever met. You're my life," he said.
"Even after knowing, I thought you cheated on me?" I asked
"Did you ever not love me Cagalli?" he asked
"I tried to," I said.
"But did you?" he asked
I looked down and shook my head.
He lifted my chin up and saw the tears in my eyes and said, "Hey don't' cry."
I took him hand off and said, "I'm dirty Athrun, I don't deserve you."
"Dirty?" Athrun said astonished, "What are you talking about."
"Rau…he," I said, "…he rape-"
"Shh," Athrun said enveloping me in a warm hug and said, "Even if he did Cagalli, I would love you no less."
"What do you mean if?" I asked
"Apparently I took that moment to infiltrate his base," Athrun said kissing my forehead, "And you could never be dirty Cagalli. You're the purest person I know."
"I'm sorry Athrun," I said, "I know I should have believed your love and not Madison, but I didn't…I'll understand if your feelings for me are gone."
"Cagalli, you think I would ever let you go?" Athrun asked, "And that to because of a girl?"
"But…I" I started
"You never stopped loving me Cagalli," he said, "You still believed in me and that's all that matter most to me."
I didn't answer him and he lifted my face to him and said, "Look at me."
I looked up and he said, "Do you love me?"
"Yes," I said immediately with no regrets.
"Then promise me you'll never go into another coma again and scare me like that again," Athrun said.
I smiled and said, "I promise."
"Good, and I promise, I'll never let anyone take you from me again," he said, "That is if you want to be with me."
"Do you even have to ask that?" I said, "My life is with you. My happiness is with you. My love is with you."
"Me too," Athrun said and placed his lips of me, something I thought I never would have again. I pulled him closer as the kiss increased in passion. I ran my hands on his torso, fingering his hair and scratching his scalp. His tongue drove into my mouth and I forgot to breathe.
"I love you," he said pulling away, "I," kissing my nose, "Love," kissing my cheek, "you," kissing my forehead.
"I love you too Athrun," I said placing my head on his shoulders.
He rubbed my back and he said, "Let's go home."
"Please," I whispered.
Athrun's happiness showered all around me. The smile on his face never left and he couldn't keep his hands off me. He was helping me stand but I ended up falling on him.
"You need to get used to your leg, it is still healing," he said giving me a chance to stand and feel the ground, until he swept me up in his arms and said, "That's enough for now."
He carried a bag and me to his car. Kira gave me a huge hug and I said, "So do I deserve Athrun now?"
Kira flushed and said, "Hey at least it forced you to get up."
"What do you mean?" Athrun asked Kira
"Nothing," I said kissing Athrun to forget about the comment, "I want to go home."
Athrun smiled and carefully placed me in the seat. He buckled me up purposely teasing me with his roaming hands. I flushed and saw Kira smirking at the sight.
"I'll meet you at home Kira," Athrun said
I realized we were still in Brazil and remembered something important.
"How's Lenore?" I asked, "Did she make it here okay?"
"Mother is just fine Cagalli…I want to thank you for giving her back to me," Athrun said quietly.
"Nonsense Athrun, I consider Patrick to be a father to me and I just wanted your family to be complete," I said
"It is now that you're here," Athrun said smiling
I smiled and said, "Does she know about me?"
Athrun nodded and said, "She was devastated knowing it was you she met at the cell. It took a while for me and father to convince her that it wasn't her fault."
"She's a wonderful person," I said.
"Yeah, she told me about the conversation you two had," Athrun said sadly, "I'm still sorry."
"It wasn't your fault," I said putting my hand in his, "What exactly happened."
Athrun managed to briefly summarize what happened by the time they reached a huge house.
"Not real home, but it's the people that make a home right?" Athrun said
I laughed and said, "You got it."
I watched Athrun's stare and he whispered, "I missed you so much Cagalli, every damn second."
"I missed you more though," I said
He kissed my nose and got out of his seat while I opened the door to mine.
"Come here you," Athrun said lifting me to him.
I finally was complete.
"Welcome home," he murmured as we entered the living room, where Patrick was watching the news.
"Hey son, what are you doing home so early?" Patrick asked turning to face his son by the end of his question.
He smiled and was immediately in front of us and gave me a hug kissing my forehead and said, "You gave us quite a scare child."
"You know me Patrick," I said, "I love giving you heart attacks."
"Try not to;" he said sternly this time, "I don't think I could handle losing a child."
My eyes misted and said, "I don't think I could handle losing another father."
He smiled and squeezed my hand and said, "I would give you a real hug, but Athrun is not planning to let you go for the rest of the year."
Athrun flushed and chuckled a bit and said, "You have that right father," pulling me closer to him.
"Where's everyone?" I asked, "My grand entrance and I'm here just to see you?"
"Hey what else do you need? They're all about," Patrick said, "But I'm pretty sure Kira has just finished informing everyone about the good news."
The door burst open and I heard wails.
Athrun and I were first surrounded by my girlfriend and I was squeezed like a bursting balloon.
I started crying with them and Luna snatched me away from Athrun leaving him gaping and placed me on the couch where I was given an hour with apologises and a whole bunches of a hugs and scolds and overemotional melodrama. I missed them all so much.
I was given the news that Lacus was expecting a child.
"Wow," I said.
"You made me faint twice," Lacus said, "because of your absence."
I laughed and said, "Then you can name the little one after me!! You know you want to."
Lacus smiled and said, "How coincidental? I already thought of C lettered names, Clair if it's a girl, and Conan if it's a boy."
"I'm just kidding Lacus," I said
"I was serious though?" she said
"Seriously?" I said.
She nodded as Kira came to her side, "Kira agrees as well."
Kira nodded and said, "You're an important person in our lives Cagalli."
"You guys," I said tears spilling out "Are so weird."
Everyone laughed at that comment and I was wiping my tears. Athrun was at my side wiping the rest of my tears. He kissed my nose making me giggle a bit.
I looked at and said, "What'd I miss?"
His eyes darkened a bit and he explained the extent of everything.
"You were a mess," he said, "When I found you…I kind of burst and killed Rau out pretty quickly. I figured out that the extents of my powers are quite far. Umm…Sean helped me find you."
"Yeah, he's done a lot to keep me alive," I said hesitantly.
"That Jeff guy," Athrun said, "Made the illusion in your mind about the rape."
I nodded and shivered.
"He's dead too," Athrun said
"But," Shiho said, "You haven't heard about the main person who started all this."
I looked up at her grinning face as she said, "I took the courtesy to shave all the hair of Ms. Madison's head off. Lacus punched her nose finding out. And once Lenore found out she slapped the girl silly. I have to mention the fact that Athrun gave the girl a pieces of his mind after. He banished her for conspiracy with Rau."
Lenore entered with balloons, flowers and gift and said, "I couldn't come home empty handed now could I?"
I smiled at the beautiful lady and Athrun sensing my thoughts carried me over to her, helped me stand so I could hug her tightly.
"You're okay," I said
She smiled and said, "I should be the one saying that silly."
I bit my lip and said, "I'm sorry for what I said in the cell."
"Hmm…I'll forgive you on one condition," she said in a mock serious tone.
"Sure," I said
"You will call me mom from now on," she said, "If you love my son that is."
I looked up to Athrun's eyes changing colour and said, "Yes mom."
"But I should be the one really apologizing," she said holding me in an embrace, "I left you with that….thing."
"I turned out right in the end," I said
"Better then alright," She said, "It's nice to know my son chose such a strong and perfect girl."
"Well I'm far from perfect," I said
"But you're perfect for me," Athrun said, "I couldn't ask for anymore better then you, because you are the best."
"Same here Athrun," I said kissing his cheek.
"I think we should all celebrate," Patrick said.
"Yeah," I said excitedly.
"CAGALLI YULA ATTHA," a voice boomed.
I looked up plugging my ears as Ahmed came in furious.
"What the hell were you thinking going into a freaking coma and let me graduate my doctorate alone!" Ahmed said sternly walking up closer and closer, growing quite bigger.
"I wasn't," I said meekly.
"Don't go all cheeky on me missy," he said
"I'm not," I said gasping; "Now why would I do that?"
He rolled his eyes and pulled me into a hug, which I returned.
"You're quite late," I said
"I was just flying in from New Mexico," he said, "Found about your awakening in the air."
"Now what were you doing in New Mexico," I asked
"I'm officially part of the org and that was my first mission," Ahmed said cheekily.
"Aww," I said turning to Athrun, "When do I get my first mission?"
"No way!" he said, "At least none by yourself until you're changed."
"Changed eh?" I said, "You said you were going to do it that night."
"Well I really couldn't, could I?" he said in a monotone voice.
I immediately felt guilt fill my system and said, "Well you can now."
Athrun gave a deep look and I felt my hormones burst in desire. Not only emotionally, I missed Athrun quite physically.
"I don't think that's such a good idea," Athrun said grinning.
"No," I said shaking my head, my cheeks burning in embarrassment at all the knowing looks in everyone in the room.
"Sheesh, get a room you two," Kira mumbled, "And your thoughts."
I turned a tad bit pinker and said, "I heard it was good day to go to the beach."
Luna nodded eagerly and said, "Yay bikini time!"
