2 Weeks Later
"I forgot to ask you, how was your little stroll with Shinji by the beach two days back? He didn't abuse you, did he?" asked Miriallia concerned, sitting down on the sofa next to Kyo, who looked very dazed.
"Huh? Oh, about the stroll, it was alright. And no, he didn't abuse me in any way. All I had to do was pretend I was taking a stroll with Yzak," said Kyo, sighing as she felt her baby move around inside her.
"The little one's energetic today, huh?" asked Miriallia, gently placing an hear on Kyo's stomach and straining to listen out for the baby's heartbeat.
Kyo chuckled to herself, "Yeah, you can say that. Not as much as Ezann though, every time she kicked it felt as though I had just been poked in between the ribs." replied the expectant mother.
"I miss being big and round," said Miriallia, recalling the days where she had struggled with her bulging belly, which held a growing Andrea then.
"Well, no one says you can't BE big and round AGAIN," said Kyo, looking up at the auburn-haired girl and laughing gaily.
"Nah, I think Dearka and I will wait a while before trying again. Andrea's already a handful, can't imagine another one." remarked Miriallia, shaking her head and straightening her skirt out on her lap.
"Hey, what are you two chatting about? Mind if we join in?" asked Lacus cheerily, walking up to the duo with Cagalli.
"Sure! You know what the folks say, the more the merrier!" replied Miriallia brightly, laughing gaily, as she moved aside to make space for Lacus and Cagalli.
"I found this by the seashore yesterday, I carved it out last night using a penknife. That's your answer to why I look so worn out today." said Kyo, taking out a pearly platinum coloured object that was carved into the shape of two hearts.
"Oh my, it's beautful!" exclaimed Lacus, leaning closer to get a better look at it.
"What is it? It doesn't look like something that came from the beach. It looks like it came from a jewellery outlet," said Cagalli, taking the object gently from Kyo and examining it intently.
Kyo chuckled, "I found this really huge clam yesterday, when I was digging up some sand to make a sand castle, and when I pryed it open, I found that. Well, it wasn't that shape, it was sort of an oval at first, but like I just said, I spent at least half the night carving it out." said the redheaded girl.
"By the looks of it, I think you're going to give it to Yzak, right?" questioned Miriallia, turning to face Kyo, who smiled gently in reply.
"Bulls-eye," answered Kyo, taking the pearly object back from Lacus.
"I know it's the thought that counts, and I'm glad you're giving it to Yzak. But you're actually thinking of going near him? He nearly went bonkers the last time you approached him." remarked Cagalli knowingly, remembering the last time Kyo had tried to talk to the platinum blonde.
"Well yeah, my instincts tell me that if I approach him carefully, I might be able to pass it to him. Yes, he will fume, but I guess he'll still accept it." sighed Kyo, fumbling with the object between her fingers.
"Where are the guys?" asked Miriallia, scanning the living room and realising the four fathers weren't present at the current scenario.
"Oh, they're watching after the kids in your bedroom. Basically, they're trying to talk Yzak around. With so many of them there, Yzak won't be able to cause much harm if he turns violent." replied Cagalli, gesturing toward Kyo's bedroom, whose door was closed.
Meanwhile, inside the bedroom, things were sort of becoming from fine to a little ore agitated.
"Are you nuts? You're going to give this to Kyo!" exclaiemd Dearka, peering over at a few sheets of paper that Yzak was holding.
Dearka's sudden ejaculated had made Athrun scramble up from the floor, and stick his head in front of the sheets of paper.
Athrun's eyes scanned the first sheet, before his eyes widened when his gazed rested upon the title, which read, "Deed Of Separation".
Yzak rolled his eyes, before checking on Ezann, who was sitting in her cot with Aaron.
"I won't allow you to! She can't even see these documents at all, it'll break her heart!" said Athrun sternly, looking at Yzak, his eyes focusing on the platinum blonde.
"She's staying with that bastard anyway, so we'll be as good as divorced!" replied Yzak, his anger clearly bubbling up from within him.
"Think about Ezann, what are you going to tell her when she's old enough to understand? And what would your reaosns be for divorcing Kyo?" said Kira firmly, moving twards Yzak, Akira propped upright in his arms.
"Simple, tell her that her mother was an unfaithful whore!" replied Yzak insolently, saying the words right in Athrun's face.
"That's your wife and my sister you're talking about! How can you call her 'unfaithful' and a 'whore'? It's not like she wanted to be raped or impregnated with another man's child!" hollered Athrun, raising his voice to a higher level.
The babies, just watched their father's quarrel among themselves, not knowing at all what was going on around them.
Outside in the living room
"What's going on in there?" muttered Lacus, getting up and walking over to the bedroom door, and carefull listening out.
The pink-headed mother was sooned joined by Cagalli, who seemed just as curious and eager to listen.
Kyo could already conclude what was happening, and she imagine what would happen next. Yzak had probably lost his temper again, and was yelling about, the others trying to argue back against him.
Cagalli, who could no longer stand the suspense, twisted the doorknob of the room and entered the room, as the door opened.
The room fell silent as all eyes were on the blonde and pink-headed mothers. Miriallia soon walked up with Kyo as well, their eyes scanning the room.
But the auburn-haired girl soon realised what Cagalli and Lacus were staring stunned at, the sheets of paper in Yzak's right hand.
"Deed Of Separation," muttered Miriallia, her eyes widening, as she felt a tinge of worry hit her lower gut.
Miriallia glanced back at Kyo, only to realise that the redheaded girl had already figured out the situation and was looking on the verge of tears.
Doushite kimiwa chiisa na te de
Kizu wo seoou to suru no darou
Yzak's eyesbrows furrowed deeply, before he grunted and pushed past Lacus, Cagalli and Miriallia. However, the platinum blonde knocked so hard into his wife, that she was knocked against the doorframe before fallign to the floor.
Kyo gave a sharp scream, clutching her stomach, as she felt piercing pains shoot through it.
"Oh no, I think this is it! The impact of the knock and the fall might've caused her to go into labour!" said Cagalli worriedly, crouching down and helping Kyo to her feet.
"But it's too early, the baby's only due in about one and a half weeks time!" exclaimed Miriallia, clearly feeling anxious and worried for her redheaded friend.
Dareka no tame dake janai miushinawanaide
Doushite boku wa mayoinagara
Nigedasu koto dekinai no darou
nozomu no wa hikari sasu hi wo hi wo
One of the maids had noticed the situation and had called Shinji down to the house, which obviously did not improve the situation at all.
Kyo's waters had just broken, and she was struggling to cope with the contractions.
"Baby, are you alright? Relax, breathe properly." said Shinji knowingly, kissing Kyo on the head.
Kyo still had the strength to wipe the kiss off her head, ebfore concentrating on herself once more.
Shinji had shooed the others out of the bedroom, as his team of doctors swarmed around Kyo to help and monitor her.
"Ah, AAAH! Why does it hurt so much, th-this time!" wailed Kyo, clutching her stomach, as she withstood the pain.
Right now, all she wanted was for Yzak to be there with her, to reassure her that everything would be alright. Though Shinji was doing exactly that, it didn't bring Kyo the comfort and love she wanted to feel.

"You're not due yet, why have you gone into labour?" asked Shinji curiously, looking at Kyo, whose face was reddening and it's sides were drenched in her perspiration.
"I saw what happened, sir. Her husband knocked her down," explained one of the maidens, after realising that Kyo wasn't going to say anything.
"So, it's that one hell of a platinum blonde, eh? Well I'll show him my true colours later for endangering my future wife and child!" said Shinji through gritted teeth, his fists clenched tightly.
Kyo couldn't help but feel the guilt hit her, as she thought of Yzak and the others. What they had all gone through all because of her, just because Shinji wanted her, and only HER.
"Leave- Yzak- a-lone!" said Kyo, panting and gasping or air as she pushed hard.
"Hush now, focus on yourself," urged Shinji, sitting down beside Kyo's bedside.
Kimi wa itta nagai yume wo mita
Totemo kanashii yume datta to
soredemo sono sugata wa sukoshi mo kumoranai

zutto soba ni ite ageru yo
hoshii no wa dakiageru te wo te wo
"Come on, miss, push! 1, 2, 3, PUSH!" said the doctor, looking in-between Kyo's legs.
Kyo pushed hard, panting and gasping for air, giving out short wails every now and then.
Tears welled up in her eyes, as she thought of Yzak. She missed him so much, and yet he wanted to divorce her.
Kyo felt like killing herself there and then, however, she knew she couldn't do that.
"Almost there, 1, 2, 3, PUSH!" urged the doctor, slowly guiding the baby out from in-between Kyo's legs.
"AAAAAAAAAAAH!" yelled Kyo, as she fell backward on the bed, breathing hard, in and out.
Find the way
Kotoba nakute mo tobu hane wa nakute mo
midasu kaze ni makenu you ni
The cries of baby echoed in the room as the umbilical cord was clamped and the doctor made sure it could breathe properly.
Shinji hurried forward to take a look at his baby, to see if it was a girl or boy. However, his expression suddenly changed from excitement to shock and anger.
"YEEEEEARGH! THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING! AAAAAH!" bellowed Shinji, storming out of the room and rushing off past teh others who were waiting outside.
The doctors cleaned the baby before handing it to Kyo. Kyo didn't dare to open her eyes, maybe the baby was abnormal or disfigured, she couldn't imagine.
But as she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes met a beatiful baby boy, not disfigured or anything, but perfect and absolutely beautiful.
And as she looked down at it, she couldn't help but smile, it looked like there was hope after all.
Ima dare yori hayaku
Itami ni kizuketa nara
You'll find the way
