Chapter Seven
I'm Here For the Party!
Cagalli nearly screamed in surprise when the room was silent and Athrun was on one knee. The women all gripped their hearts and sighed when the two kissed and it was official. There would be two weddings soon.
Kira congratulated the two and Captain La Flaga had to be careful about hugging Cagalli and Athrun. The two couples, now engaged, were able to dance and the group of friends started to think about things again.
It was going on 23:34 when the crowd started to leave for their hotels. Tolle escorted many of his old friends out and half and hour later, Mwu and Murrue were heading that way when they were stopped by Kasumi.
"Hey, Captain. You could stay for a little longer right?" he asked, a little red in the face from his good time.
"Sure… just a little while okay? I need to get my sleep," Murrue said, laughing a little and easing into a chair at a table. The women all gathered around her and talked about her pregnancy.
"When did you two get married?" Mir asked.
"Well… about seven years I think."
"Did you guys try to have a baby?" Cagalli asked.
"Yes… this one was planned. We tried about a year ago but I got sick so I couldn't until now."
"That's so wonderful. How do you get through the days? Do you have a bunch of mood swings?" Lacus asked this time.
"Actually we knew when I started to get crazy over little things like, once Mwu dropped my pizza and I cried for nearly fifteen minutes for no reason. They are really crazy swings sometimes, but others are mild. One time I threw a pillow at Mwu for forgetting to brush his teeth and the next second I was happy and hugging him. It just depends."
The women continued their conversation as Mwu and the men talked.
"So commander, what are you going to name it?" Kasumi asked.
"We haven't exactly deiced yet. I think I like the name Helen but I don't know. Murrue gets the final say." Mwu said, opening a beer and drinking a sip.
"What about your house? Do you have one yet?" Kira asked.
"Actually, we're living in a small two bedroom apartment right now. We aren't expecting to be having another baby yet so we're just going to work with that for a while."
"What's it like? Having her crazy all the time?" Dearka asked, laughing a little.
"You get use to it. When you are with a pregnant woman you should always say everything is your fault or you'll go through more hell then anyone on the planet." Mwu said, chuckling a little and looking at his wife.
"Is married life all that big a deal?" Athrun asked suddenly.
"Well… once you find the person you want to share the rest of your life with, everything included," he eyed them, "You'll realize it's not all that bad having someone to support you. For a long time I was in a job slump and I wasn't able to propose for a long time but she was patient with me." Mwu said and smiling as his wife started to allow the girls feel her baby kick.
"One last question."
The men looked at the end of the table, seeing Yzak with his arms folded.
"Yeah?" Mwu asked.
"How do you know?" Yzak asked. Mwu took a long time before realizing what he meant.
"Not that long actually…" Mwu said happily. He smiled at the confused faces and Yazk's smirk.
"Well, we should be going, right sweetie?" Mwu asked. Murrue nodded and said her goodbyes to the girls when suddenly she started to feel faint.
"Ah! Mrs. La Flaga?" Lacus yelled. The others helped her when they heard a splatter.
"Mwu! My water broke!" Murrue said suddenly. The guys looked at each other, confused. The girls screamed in both delight and in panic.
"Ah! We've got to get you to a hospital! Hurry! Someone call a cab!" Cagalli shouted over the panic. Athrun was the first out the door. Tolle held the elevator as the group helped Murrue into the elevator, her contractions starting.
"Ah! Mwu! Argh!" She yelled as the elevator took off down to the lobby. Now Kasumi stayed behind to call the hospital ahead of time when what happened next actually happened. The following people are involved: Sai, Fllay, Athrun, Tolle, Dearka, Yzak, Lacus, Kira, Cagalli, Mirillia, Mwu and of course, Murrue.
"Okay, keep breathing sweetie. That's it. I got you. Its okay." Mwu said to his screaming wife as the cab pulled up. Tolle hurried the two inside and yelled at the driver as Cagalli and Athrun got in the back. Tolle flagged down another cab, this one containing Tolle, Kira, Lacus, Fllay and Sai. Mirillia didn't know how this happened but she was stuck with Dearka and Yzak in the last cab. She was weird when she was nervous. She bounced a little in her seat, hoping against all hope that the cab didn't hit traffic. Sadly they did. This wasn't going to be good…
Cab 1: Containing the Pregnant woman…
There were shouts from the cab driver, the La Flagas, Cagalli and Athrun caught in the middle.
"You have to find another way to get there! She's in labor you idiot!" Cagalli yelled in the cab man's ear.
"There is no other way! I can't get out of this lane anyway!" he shouted back. Murrue started to scream more at Mwu who yelled at Cagalli to be quiet. Athrun was so alone in a shouting world.
Cab 2: Kira and Lacus's cab…
The group in this one was silent and when they hit traffic, all sighed at once. Tolle kept looking behind him (He's in the front passenger's seat.) to see if he could see Mirillia in the other cab. He was in such a hurry that he didn't even see which cab she had gotten into. Now he wished she was next to him. He sighed and turned back to the front. The other cabs couldn't have been doing so good stuck in the midnight traffic. That was the only problem with driving at night in Archangel, the midnight parties all happened at the same time and there was traffic everywhere.
Stupid luck…
Cab 3: Mirillia and Dearka…
"Argh! I've had enough of this!" Yzak said, after only five minutes of waiting. That was his problem. He was very impatient…
He opened the car door and started his way down the street lined in cars. Dearka yelled after him but to no avail, Yzak had made his way to an exit and was heading for the hotel. Great, now I'm stuck alone with… Dearka felt a lump suddenly get caught in his throat. The last time that the two were alone, Mir had said she wasn't in love with Tolle… this was weird…
"So… I hope that Murrue has her baby when we get to the hospital," Dearka said nervously. Mir, sitting on the opposite side of the cab looked at him.
"She better. I'm sure the others are having a great time…" she said sarcastically. Dearka went a little red and looked out the window. This was so embarrassing. Why didn't he just say what he wanted to? It was so hard…
"Mir… I mean, Mirillia… I, uh…" he said, trying to look at her. Mirillia looked at him. She felt her cheeks redden a little when she saw him nervous. Was he…? She shook her head and smiled at him.
No! Don't do that! Now I'm blushing even more! I'm such a loser… Dearka said to himself. He suddenly wanted to die. Mir smiled a little more.
"Are you okay? You look more nervous then when Mwu when the captain went into labor," Mirillia said, laughing.
"Heh, I just…. Get a little claustrophobic sometimes…" he lied. The cab driver, a nice fat Italian guy, eyed Dearka through his rearview mirror and Dearka shrugged.
"Well… I think the traffic is going to start moving soon. I hate this place…" Mir said, looking back out her window. Dearka grabbed a pen in his pocket and looked around the cab for a piece of paper. Mirillia looked at him curiously.
"What are you looking for?" she asked.
"I just need a piece of paper. I got an idea for a painting!" he said excitedly. She dug in her purse and found a notepad he took graciously. Soon the cab was silent again as Dearka tried to get whatever it was he was thinking out of his head on the paper. It took him a few tries but finally he was satisfied and the cab rolled a little forward.
"There! Ha! That took a long time to think about!" he said triumphantly. He showed her his "masterpiece" and she went a little red. It was her! A picture of her with her hand to her face, staring out the window of the cab. A perfect picture. It looked just like her…
"D-Dearka? This is what you… uh… were trying to draw? It's just a picture of me… staring out a window!" Mirillia cried a little confused, leaning over to see the picture a little better. Dearka smiled as if that was the whole point.
"Yeah, it was hard too. I mean, you're hair is a lot more difficult when you face that way. Sorry, though, that it took forever. I didn't mean to do that. Well anyway, I was just thinking about it and drew it." Dearka said, as if his reason was justified.
Mirillia blinked a few times before asking for the pad to look at. Dearka, now calm but still smiling again, handed it to her and looked out his own window.
I wonder how the others are doing… Dearka thought…
Cab 2: Kira and Lacus…
The cab was now was fighting and even the cab driver was getting annoyed. Tolle had been annoying Kira with his head jerks and Sai was getting annoyed with Fllay sudden need to use the bathroom and Lacus was busy humming her favorite tune when Tolle started the entire fight.
"Argh! That stupid Dearka better not touch my Mirillia!" he said.
"What! Yours? Last I heard Mirillia could be with anyone she wanted to. She told me you kissed her!" Kira said, leaning forward. Lacus stopped humming.
"What are you guys talking about?" she asked curiously.
"Mirillia is in love with Dearka!" Kira said, loudly, as the cab inched forward.
"Well of course she is!" Fllay said, through her whining. Tolle and Kira stared at her.
"What? Dude, you didn't even know? All through high school she had a crush on Tolle but when it came right down to it, Dearka was always her best friend. He knew her before we did. I mean, duh, of course she is…" Lacus explained.
"Guys, we already knew Dearka had to the hots for her. He was always talking about how she was so cute," Sai said, like it was as obvious as the sunlight.
"Y-You mean… they are with Yzak. Nothing could happen… What if something does!" Tolle practically yelled. The driver was starting to get pissed and that's when he jumped out of the cab and went to find Dearka and Mirillia's cab.
"That idiot. He's going to cause even more problems," Sai said, holding Fllay's hand as she continued to wince as she needed to hurry up and go.
"Guys! I can't hold it any longer! Someone find me a bathroom!" Fllay said suddenly. Kira looked around.
"Guys! If you can run there's an exit right there and a gas station! You can make it," he said, getting out of the cab and opening the passenger door.
Fllay nodded as she hurried out of the car and Sai helped her limp toward the exit. Without thinking Kira was back in the car and sitting alone next to Lacus, whom was about to write her next best hit, "Alone in a Cab". That was a weird title but this is Lacus we're talking about…
Cab 1: Pregnant woman!
Murrue panted and huffed as Cagalli helped her breathe and the duo, Athrun and Mwu, got back from their journey.
"There's an ambulance off duty right there honey, they said they can deliver the baby."
"Do they have drugs!" Murrue yelled back as the door was opened and Mwu helped her out.
"Of course they do. They are right over here. Just keep breathing sweetie. It'll all be over soon. Hold on!" Mwu said, closing the door and helping his wife to her salvation a few cars ahead. Athrun and Cagalli followed for a while to see them get in the ambulance as the baby would soon be born…
Cab 3: Dearka and Mirillia…
Dearka smiled as he began to doodle. He liked drawing so much. Then another idea hit him and he flipped to a new page. This one he was drawing a child. A baby girl, about four years old. He drew her with as much precision as he could in the slow moving car.
"Hey, I'll bet you three hundred dollars that you're daughter will look like this one day."
Dearka said, looking at Mirillia.
"What?" she asked, confused.
"I'll bet you three hundred dollars this will be your daughter at age four," Dearka said, showing her his picture. She was perfect. She was running through a field of flowers, a long white dress, long red hair and eyes that made Mirillia's heart melt.
"You think she'll look this perfect? Coming out of a girl like me? I don't think so…" Mirillia said, then she started to do something she didn't mean to do…
In the street…
Tolle searched every cab but there seemed to be no people resembling Dearka or Mirillia. Then he came onto a cab that he felt had to be it. He suddenly grabbed the handle and threw open the door.
Mirillia, so close, that Dearka knew what was coming and even tried to get away but he was frozen as her lips moved towards his own. They were but millimeters apart when…
"MIRILLLLLIAAAAAAAA!" came a cry as the door of the cab flew open. Dearka moved back as Tolle suddenly appeared, making Mirillia nearly kill over in fright.
Damn, he just ruined the perfect opportunity, Mirillia thought…
AN: I know! He ruined it! I can't believe it either! YAY! I have a total of 21 reviews! I am so happy, you guys don't even know. Thanks and this is my first fan fic so far. Thank you thank you thank you! More to come, about Murrue's baby, and the couples "alone" in separate cabs… Oooooohhhh….. Anyway! G2G, it's getting late for me, Bye!
Mika Out!
