Chapter 15 Abrupt Twist Of Fates
A/N I'm really really sorry to those who are expecting a trilogy for this sequel, really, it'll end with this chapter. But look out for the sequel for "Come Back To Me", the title will be "Come Back To Me II". Thanks to all my reviewers and supporters, hope you enjoy this last chapter!
"That's guy's certainly gone MENTAL!" yelled Dearka in Shinji's direction, on purpose.
Shinji had slumped himself on the couch, looking absolutely stunned and stoned. The black-headed scientist was looking at the blank concrete wall in front on him, while rubbing his temples.
Miriallia wanted to enter the room, however, was restricted by the maidens and the doctor, who merely just replied by saying that Shinji had given orders not to let any of them in.
"I just want to know if Kyo's ok!" yelled Miriallia heatedly, fuming at the doctor, who sighed and nodded in reply.
Dearka had to use one hand to pull Miriallia a few steps back, the other arm clutching a wide-eyed Andrea.
Lacus breathed a sigh of relief, before smiling wryly up at Kira, who just smiled back and propped their now 4 month old, son higher up in his arms.
"I wonder if it's a boy or girl," said Cagalli thoughtfully, trying to peer through the blinds of the small window by the room door.
"YOU'LL NEVER KNOW! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUSLY PREPOSTEROUS!" yelled Shinji, his face turning a boiled colour, and his eyes looking a little blood-shot.
"Shut up you ass! What's outrageous?" questioned Athrun eagerly, looking at the black-headed man for an answer, however, the man really seemed to be going crazy.
Shinji was stuttering the whole way, and he was jumping around like a monkey, in fact, he was behaving WORSE than a wild and untamed chimpanzee! Screaming and flailing his arms about and sometimes knocking into the wall quite a few times.
The bunch just watched, some in amazement, some in amusement. they had never seen or even thought a man like him could act in such a ridiculous and foolishly wild way!
"He's creepy," said Cagalli softly, watching the scientists scream on, his voice becoming hoarser each time.
Athrun's arm tightened around Cagalli, who was holding a giggling Aaron, ready to defend and protect his family if necessary.
Out of the blue, Shinji's body stiffened and he fell backward and collapsed like a wooden board. It seemed like the man had gone into a fit, shaking all over, and stiff as a board.
"I'm out of here!" yelled Dearka, dragging Miriallia along as Shinji began frothing white foam at the mouth.
The doctor and some maidens swarmed around Shinji, quickly getting into action trying to revive the madman.
Athrun, Kira, Lacus and Cagalli, hastily stepped out of the way of the ongoing commotion and quickly disappeared into an empty bedroom, which belonged to Kira and Lacus.

Kyo gently stroked her newborn's soft and tender skin, as the baby boy whimpered in her arms.
The redheaded mother had just finished breastfeeding her baby, and her baby had finally managed to open his little eyes.
He was small, but strong, in Kyo's eyes. Tiny hands, tiny feet and a little tinier than a normal baby, I mean what could you expect? The baby was premature by a week.
Kyo kissed her baby on the head, smelling his unique scent, a scent that only he had. A scent that Kyo would be able to differentiate him from others.
Kyo just smiled to herself, as she looked at her newborn, her eyes full of tender loving care.
There was hope after all, she had heard Shinji screaming about a while ago, and had also received news from the doctor that he had collapsed in a fit.
But what should Kyo care? She didn't love him much, in fact, she didn't love him at all. so the news of the scientists collapsing brought absolutely no worry at all to the mother of two.
The baby boy was wrapped in nothing but a towel, but was kept warm by Kyo's body heat. Right now, being only a few minutes old, he couldn't see any more than thirty centimetres away.
The newborn's tiny finger's enclosed around his mother's index finger as she slipped it into his small palm. He was perfect, one of the most beautiful things she had never seen in all of her entire born days.
Rosy cheeks, alabaster skin, and a handsome chin.
Kyo chuckled lightly, as the baby yawned widely, revealing a set of gums, which in a few months time, would have teeth growing out of them.
The mother nuzzled her baby one more time, before letting him snooze in her arms, and letting herself take a short rest as well.

"I wonder what's wrong with Shinji," said Kira, placing Akira on the bed beside him, and sitting down next to his pink-headed wife.
"I'll tell you what's gotten into him. He's gone nuts! Crazy, loony-cuckoo! That's what's wrong with him!" exclaimed Cagalli frantically, shuddering as she thought of the black-headed man in a fit, before quickly dismissing the thought.
"The proper question should be, 'I wonder how Kyo is,'." remarked Lacus knowingly, looking disapprovingly at Cagalli, as the blonde girl's words had insulted Shinji in one way or another.
"I guess we're all wondering the same thing. But I suppose she should be alright," said Athrun, nodding his head reassuringly and smiling wryly at Lacus and Kira.
"Shinji made a deal with Kyo though, saying that if she stayed with him, he'd let us go. So I suppose he'll let us go any time now, but I really hate to leave Kyo behind with him." sighed Kira, rubbing his temples and closing his eyes.
"Yeah, she's been such a good friend and sister-in-law," commented Cagalli softly, thinking of what it would be like without the redheaded girl around.
It would probably not be as cheerful and bright anymore. The redheaded girl had always been the first to volunteer and help, just like back in their college days when she first entered their class.
"I still can't believe Yzak is still acting this way towards her. I mean, after all she's done for him, he still won't forgive her. She showed him the true meaning of life, showed him the true meaning of life, and gave birth to his firstborn child." Kira said, shaking his head disapprovingly, before turning to face Akira, who had dozed off despite the noise of his parents' conversation.
"I agree, Yzak's not as aggressive anymore, he seriously has become alot more mature. Look at the way he watches after Ezann, you wouldn't have thought he'd want anything to do with the baby." retorted Athrun, chuckling lightly, at the thought of Yzak behaving like Dearka, and not wanting to touch his daughter.
"However, I still don't think it's right leaving Kyo behind like this. She sacrificed her freedom for us, the least we could do is try to get her back, and if I'm not wrong, Ezann is half dependant on Kyo's milk." Cagalli said, propping Aaron higher up in her arms before he slipped off.
"True, and I don't think Yzak would be able to cope very well alone with Ezann." commented Kira, raising a questioning eyebrow.
The blonde girl was the first to rush outside when she saw Kyo come out of the room, carrying her newborn wrapped in a blanket and all covered up.
"Are you alright? Is the baby, ok?" asked Cagalli frantically jogging up to Kyo and almost dropping Aaron.
Kyo just smiled gratefully at her and nodded in reply.
"You seem awfully happy to leave us," said Athrun, his tone deepening as he felt the anger bubble within him.
Kyo just chuckled softly before, walking up to her brother and planting a soft kiss on his cheek.
Athrun tried to take a peek at the baby, but Kyo had wrapped him in such a way that it was out of sight.
The redheaded girl approached Yzak's room door, which was closed shut.
"Kyo, what are you doing! Yzak will pound you if he sees you, and even worse now that you're holding the baby!" exclaimed Cagalli frantically, passing Aaron to Athrun and darting forward to stop her friend.
"Relax, I know what I'm doing," reassured Kyo, grinning once more, and gently shaking the blonde girl off.
Kyo gently opened the door with a click, but of course Yzak's enhanced hearing picked it up.
He spun around to face her, his eyebrows knitted with anger, as he glared at her.
Ezann was sitting in her cot and playing with a stuffed giraffe.
"How DARE she bring that CHILD here," Yzak muttered under his breath, fists clenched and teeth gritted.
Athrun and the others were all praying that Kyo really knew what she was doing, the last thing they needed was to see their friend being walloped by her beloved husband.
"Yzak, don't be this way, please? I just want you to take a look," pleaded Kyo, her voice becoming squeaky, as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Has she been manipulated by that JERK and has lost her mind as well? She wants me to take a LOOK at that man's CHILD!" Yzak thought to himself, his breathing becoming more intense as his blood boiled and prickled beneath his skin.
"Yzak," called Kyo once more, looking on the verge of tears as she clutched the newborn in her arms. She slowly unfolded some of the blanket so the baby's head could be seen.
Kyo heard, Athrun, Cagalli, Lacus and Kira gasp in shock and surprise.
Yzak spun around so quickly, that a gush of air blew past Kyo's face. The platinum blonde raised his hand and was about to slap Kyo when he froze in mid-air, as his gaze fell upon the baby.
The platinum blonde's arm fell limply to his side, as he stared at the baby in disbelief, eyebrows furrowed.
The little newborn fidgeted a little before opening it's striking aqua blue eyes.
Yzak swore he thought that his eyes were lying to him, he blinked a few times before looking at the baby once more.
The baby had aqua blue eyes, alabaster skin and... SILVERY PLATINUM BLONDE coloured hair!
Yzak looked up at Kyo, his eyes full of sorry and disbelief.
Kyo felt her tears of joy fall from her eyes, "Yzak, this baby, is OURS." she said, gently putting the newborn on the bed beside her.
The redheaded girl burst into tears, as her platinum blonde husband, embraced her tightly before pulling her into a tight and reuniting kiss.
Lacus had been touched a well, and her eyes were shining with tears of happiness and joy for the couple that stood before her.
Athrun was flattened against the doorframe, when Cagalli suddenly kissed him as well.
However, the reuniting and touching scenario was ruined by the doctor who walked into the room with huge strides.
"I declare that Shinji Takehiro has been pronounced dead 3 minutes and 23 seconds ago. He died from severe hypertension!" announced the doctor before walking back out of the room.
"We can all go home, WE CAN ALL GO HOME! YAY!" blurted Cagalli, jumping up and down jovially, laughing before hugging Lacus.
Yzak looked at his newborn ebfore turning to look at Kyo. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause you any pain. I was pretty much confused myself. Forgive me, Kyo." he said, nuzzling her gently on the head.
Kyo just laughed shortly, before kissing him on the lips and replying him with a reasuring 'yes'.
"Kyo! We can all go back, YOU and all of us can all go back!" said Cagalli joyfully, hugging Kyo tightly.
Miriallia and Dearka had just appeared at the scene, and hurried over when they had finished listening to Lacus's explanation.
"Kyo, I'm so glad you're alright! And congratulations to both of you, is it a boy or a girl?" asked Miriallia peering over at the baby.
"It's a boy," replied Kyo gaily, leaning on Yzak, who just wrapped his arms around her lovingly.
The bunch moved back the very next day, and they could all safely say that there was no other place like home.
Things were extra special now that there was a new member in the family.
Miriallia was the only one nagging and complaining as the house had become rather dusty and there were cobwebs on the walls.
Once everything was cleaned up and in proper condition, they held a small paty for the new arrival of the baby boy.
"Hey, any ideas on names, old pal?" asked Dearka, looking eagerly at Yzak, who merely just turned to Kyo for an answer.
The redheaded girl just chuckled lightly, "Since Yzak would go with anything, I've decided on Izak, which means 'miracle child'..."
A/N Sniff Sniff, you don't know how much I teared when I wrote the part where Yzak and Kyo were reunited. It was also partially because I was listening to Lacus's "Fields Of Hope". Well, this fanfic has come to an end. I know many of you say it's half done, but sorry, there won't be a trilogy. Thank you to everyone, and pls review.
