Chapter 12 That's Not The Point
A/N This story is soon coming to an end, maybe about 14 chapters. I really can't wait to write the end, because the surprise is there. Some of you have already figured out or are on your way to figuring out what the surprise is, haha. Oh, and I think I told some of you I'd add a scene where Athrun and Cagalli had problems getting Aaron into the tub? I changed my mind about that, hehe. Anyway, enjoy!
1 month later
Throughout the whole of the month, Shinji had been coming in and out of the house to look for Kyo or take one of the others for bloodtests, but the young parents refused to let Shinji lay a finger on their youngsters.
As a result, Shinji was growing impatient, and had decided to use violence as a threat to make the 2 quartets of parents to let him borrow their precious offspring for tests.
"Fat hope if you think Aaron's going anywhere with YOU!" hissed Cagalli, quickly snatching Aaron into her arms as the black-headed scientist neared the baby's cot.
"Why the hell do you still want to carry on with your experiments, when we've already made a deal?" asked Kyo sarcastically, glaring at Shinji with suspicious eyes.
"You see, I'm not like you garrulous people. I know how to set my priorities right, and work toward my goals and dreams." retorted Shinji smiling maliciously and scratching his chin.
"We're not any more garrulous than you are. So if you're not garrulous, what makes you say that WE are?" questioned Kira, who was now up and about along with Athrun and everyone else.
"Firstly, if you weren't garrulous, you'd have figured out a plan and would've probably escaped by now." reasoned Shinji, tapping his foot to a steady tempo, and reaching out to stroke Kyo's cheek, but failed as she pulled away sharply.
"How are we supposed to make some great escape if you've got guards at the entrance of this house, under every window and in every corner or behind every bend? You've got every single place covered!" exclaiemd Athrun, throwing his hands into the air and standing protectively in front of his blonde wife and his blue-haired son.
"I thought you CO-ORDINATORS would be intelligent enough to figure out a way out, but truthfully, there is actually really no way out." chuckled Shinji, before bursting into a fit of evil laughter.
"So, you can't actually say that we're not intelligent enough, jackass. You know yourself that if there's literally no means of escape, even the most intelligent person in the world would never figure a way out." snarled Dearka, feeling insulted at the black-headed man's remark.
"Whatever, you dum blonde! Back to what we were talking about! Hand those brats over, or I'll have you shot again! And mind you, the dose is two times stronger than the last, which means death is certain the moment the liquid enters your bloodstream!" threatened Shinji, pointing at Aaron, Akira and Andrea, and two of his men raising the two guns.
There was an awkward silence before Shinji spoke once more, "Come on! Move it!" he screeched. "I'm only taking blood samples!"
Miriallia slowly pushed her way past Dearka, who was protesting loudly. The auburn-haired mother hesitantly passed her baby daughter to the man, who placed her in a carrycot.
"Finally you stand up for your daughter, I thought you shared no emotional connection or bond with her at all." said Miriallia, looking close to tears as she watched her daughter squirm about, after she realised that she was no longer in the safety of her mother's arms.
Dearka just wrapped both arms around Miriallia and kissed her passionately on the head, as she turned to him and buried her head into shoulder and beginning to weep.
Lacus was well aware of the danger Kira or her would be in, if She didn't give Akira up to Shinji. Although the man was their foe, he had never went back on his word. Kira and Athrun had turned out alright like he said they would, and he did say he wouldn't harm her, Cagalli or Kyo when he took them away last time round.
Lacus sighed before gesturing to Kira to hand their 2 month old son over. Kira shot her a questioning stare, but obeyed when Lacus's eyebrows furrowed sternly.
However, the two adult Zalas were having problems deciding whether to entrust their son to the scientist before them, or to face certain death.
"Cagalli just give Aaron to him for now, it's risky. But its better taking a risk than facing CERTAIN death." urged Kira, nudging his sister gently.
Athrun sighed before nodding at Cagalli, who just stretched Aaron out to Shinji, who carefully took him into his arms. The baby Zala, realising that he was about to be taken away, started brawling at the top of his lungs.
It caused Cagalli so much pain to see him crying so bitterly, and yet, she couldn't lift a finger to help him, but she knew she couldn't compare it with the pain she would feel if she were to lose Athrun for good. The blonde girl leant back on Athrun, as she watched her brawling son being carried off by their foe.
"That asshole said it was just jabs, and it better be, and if he dares to treat the kids like rag-dolls, I'll pound him to a smooth paste!" exclaimed dearka, pounding his fist hard on a nearby table, making the cup of water on it rattle violently.
Kyo just stood there, Ezann settled calmly in her arms, unsure of what to say or do next.
Immediately, Kyo's thoughts drifted to Yzak, wonderng what he was doing now. He was probably snoozing in the bedroom, or staring broodingly at the blue sky from the living room balcony.
As if the young Jule was telepathic, she immediately said "DADDY!" in a loud voice, making her mother look stunned down at her.
"Wow, she can already say something? Aaron's a few months her senior and he can only say "mama"!" said Athrun, sounding a little disappointed.
"Rest assured I'll teach him how to acknowledge you," reassured Cagalli, kissing Athrun on the cheek, before sighing worriedly.
"Yzak must've taught her the word, I don't recall ever teaching her how to say "Daddy"." said Kyo, thinking back on what she had been doing with her daughter over the past 7 months.
Meanwhile, Yzak was in the room, lying on the bed, and staring blankly up at the peach coloured ceiling, which had nice patterns on it.
The platinum blonde brought himself into sitting position and looked over at the dresser table, which was packed neatly.
There was a sky blue hairbrush lying on the dressertop, which belonged to none other than Kyo. The male Jule remembered how his wife had brushed her hair every time before breakfast, twice in the afternoon and before going to bed.
Kyo's gentle eyes, her soft touch, reassuring voice, and her graceful movements. She had never really showed or told anybody, and only Yzak knew this secret of hers. Kyo could actually do ballet and modern dance, and my was she ever so graceful.
Every time she was free or simply felt joyful, she'd start dancing in the room in front of Yzak, making him smile gently to himself as he watched her turn and skip about gracefully.
Yzak missed everything about his wife, however, why did his anger always seem to just explode inside him every time he set eyes on her? She was so sorry and pitiful whenever she faced him, and yet he couldn't bring himself to forgive her.
Of course, Kyo had never wished to be raped, and never wished to become pregnant with another man's child, but nevertheless, it all happened.
Yzak shifted his gaze to a photoframe on the dresser, it was a picture of him, Kyo and Ezann, when she was about 2 months old. Kyo was extremely beautiful in his eyes, and very photogenic.
However, Yzak's blood always seemed to boil at the sight of her nowadays, he didn't know whether it was because of HER, or because of the CHILD she was carrying within her and the incidents that had all happened.
Why was he like this?

"Hush now, stop squirming you sickening brat! You know, I could simply sell you off for a few million bucks to someone, because you're a new species?" said Shinji impatiently, as he tried to draw blood from Andrea, however, the baby girl kept moving, making the needle move out of place each time.
Shinji lost his patience, and jabbed the needle right into Andrea's arm, and pulled the drawer out so fast, it wasn't surprising if the girl's arm had been sucked clean of all the blood in it.
The black-headed scientist moved quickly from one baby to another, doing the same thing over again, jabbing the needle in hard and fast drawing blood, and eliciting piercing screams of pain from each and every one of them.
The babies screame don and on, crying till they had no tears left, the fast and rough injections had left marks on their arms, especially on Andrea and Akira, as they're skin was tender as a result of their young age.
Shinji just grinned maliciously at the fruit of his labour, leaving the babies to cry for all he cared. Even his laboratory staff felt sorry for the poor youngsters as they screamed and brawled on, wanting to be picked up and cradled by a pair of loving arms.
The 2 quartets of parents were relieved when their babies were finally returned to them.
The mothers had noticed the marks on their arms and were glaring viciously up at Shinji and his men.
"You heartless asshole, they're only babies did you have to manhandle them?" asked Lacus, using vulgarities for the first time.
"No, I just did what I had to do," replied the man, grinning maliciously, before turning on heel and walking off.
