A/n: :) I know, I'm evil. What can I say? The evil cliffhangers are my specialty. Well, okay…maybe I did originally write them this way to annoy my once beta reader, Jessie. The shithead has said my spellings are too bad to deal with however. Ohh, well. I am in need of a beta reader, however. And someone to explain the best way to send this to a beat reader. (My old beta reader practically lived in my house and just checked when she was here). Any volunteers out there?  Anywho, yes, Noin is pregnant, yes that does play a minor role and yes, Noin is beginning to remember Zechs, but nothing else.

Anywho, on with the story!!!!!!!!!!

That evening found Zechs and Luc curled up together on the couch. Zech lounged with one leg along the cushions of the couch, and his back propped up by the nook where the arm meets the back. His other leg was wrapped around Noins waist. Noin was laying in Zechs arms, her back snuggled to his front and was half asleep. She and Zechs were laying in loving quiet when the doorbell rang. With a quiet curse and a promise to get rid of whoever was there, Zechs disentangled himself from Noin and went to the front door.

When he returned, however, there were two people with him. A man of medium height with brown hair stood beside a woman who was several inches shorter and had long brown hair. The pair immediately had Noins attention.

Zechs stood next to the two people and shifted his weight nervously from foot to foot.

"Wow, I feel really strange introducing you to our best friends, Luc, but here goes. This woman is Anne Une Kushrenada. She was your maid of honor at our wedding. This dorky man," Zechs received an elbow in his side for this jest "is Treize Kushrenada.  He was my best man in our wedding. We've all been friends for years, even when we weren't on the same side." (Zechs had told Noin about the wars earlier, and about the parts they had played in the wars) "The Gods only know why, but we put up with them after work sometimes. Apparently they thought they could be rude and just come over uninvited." The last part had been spoken in jest, with a huge smile on Zechs face while he said it. But that didn't stop Anne from gleefully elbowing him in the ribs.

By ten o'clock that evening, Noin was back in Zechs arms on the couch and Treize and Anne were curled up together in one of the big overstuffed chairs in the room. Both couples were laughing and talking, with Noin mainly listening.

Anne suddenly sat up in Treizes arms. "Oh my gods! Donovan! We left Donovan with Mariemaia over four hours ago and said we'd be back in an hour or two."

"Let's just hope she didn't sell him off to illegal slave traders," Treize said with a grin. "If he's crying like normally she's probably never going to baby-sit for us again."

Noin, who had been listening to stories of Mariemaia, the twelve year old who had tried to take over the world once and who tried to hide her soft heart behind a hard face, laughed.

Anne and Treize stood up and said goodbye and let themselves out of the house. Leaving Noin and Zechs alone. Together. With Zechs determined not to make love to the woman he loved until she had her memory back. And Noin equally determined to make him forget his idea of them not sleeping together.

Noin rolled over in Zechs arms and kissed him before he could stop her. Despite his earlier statement to the otherwise, Zechs returned the kiss with equal passion. By the time Noin pulled back for some much needed air, both of their hands had already begun to roam.

Noin stared into eyes that shimmered, their brilliant blue lit with a fire from within. Zechs stood and gathered his love into his arms. "You started this, now you have to finish it."

A/n: Okies!!!!!!! Well, the little love scene begins the R-ratedness of this fic, but hey. And now we all understand the blue diamond in Noins ring, don't we? Sounds just little like Zechs eyes. : ) I know, I know, I ended the chappie there. Kill me later, or I can't post the rest of this ficcie.

And now for the Reviews I've received:

Chibi Noin: you kick ass. Thanks for being my most loyal reviewer yet. If you would like the job of Beta reader, it's yours. And think, you'd get to read all the chappies early. : ) Yes, I know I'm satan, and yes I like cliffhangers. And yes, all the chappies end with them. All 10 of them. : ) And yes, Noin is beginning to remember Zechs, but the conversation that alluded to that in the first draft was corny and got chopped consequentially.

Faradayne: thanks for reviewing. I'll keep on posting and keep on giving you your daily dose of 6x9. Thanks for choosing my fic as your daily dose, by the by.

By the by, five reviews or no post. I didn't do that last time and got only to reviews. At this rate, the faithful chibi noin will be getting these chappies a week before I post them to reward her for being a good reviewer and to punish everyone else for being lazy and not clicking the little button at the bottom. Its easy, really, try it…………..REVIEW!!!!!!!
