Well here's chapter two of One Boy, One Girl. I hope you all enjoy it. I own none of the characters now onto the fic.
Tonight and the rest of my life.
"Yeah Cagalli, that's right, Milly's expecting and I just wanted to let you know" Kira said to his now very happy sister. "You're kidding, I'm going to be an aunt and Athrun's going to be an uncle?" Cagalli said, the joy in her voice was very obvious. "Yeah that's right, now I have a few more friends to call and Milly has a few other relatives to call and spread the good news to" Kira said, preparing to hang up the phone. "Okay, I'll call tomorrow, I know it's late, gnight little brother" Cagalli said hanging up the phone. "Little brother, I'll remember that one day" Kira said as he hung up the phone. "Your turn sweetie" Kira said as he walked past Milly. They decided to take turns on who would call next. So far Milly had called and informed her parents, and one of her aunts. Kira had informed Cagalli, who would inform Athrun. He also called up Kuzzey, Sai and Andrew Waltfield, all of them had been very proud of Kira and said their congrats.
Milly took her seat next to the phone and dialed in a number she managed to remember after leaving the Archangel. It was the home phone number for Murrue Ramius, her former commanding officer who helped see them through so many battles. "Hello, is this Capt. Ramius? It is? okay my name is Miriallia Haww, you came to my wedding a few months back. Oh you remember? okay I just wanted to let you know that, Kira and I are expecting a baby, I just wanted to let you know" Milly said rising from her chair. "Okay thank you" Milly said hanging up the phone. "So how'd it go?" Kira asked as he made his way over to his wife. "It went fine, she told me congratulations and to send her a picture when the baby's born" Milly replied wrapping her arms around herself. "Anything wrong?" Kira asked putting a hand on her shoulder. "No, it just feels odd talking to her without being given orders" Milly said. "I'll bet you head's feeling weird without a headset right?" Kira asked mussling Milly's hair this earned him a giggle from his wife.
"So was that everyone?" Kira asked taking Milly into his arms. "Yeah, but I imagine they'll all be calling back tomorrow" Milly said, leaning into Kira. Planting a kiss on his wife's forehead and wrapping his arms around her, Kira spoke. "So, what will you do about the photoshoot?" Kira asked. "I talked with my editor and he agreed to let me take some shots around the colony only and after three months I'd handle office work like developing photos for other people" Milly explained. "That's good, because I don't want anything happening to you or the baby" Kira said wrapping his arms around Milly, letting them rub across her back. Milly let her head rest against Kira's shoulder as she closed her eyes. To her, life was good. She had a wonderful husband, a good job and a baby on the way. It seemed like things were finally starting to work out for the better.
Milly was startled when she felt Kira slip down so that his face was next to her stomach. Letting his left hand rest on the side of it, he let his lips kiss her belly, Milly felt a smile and a blush creeping across her face as she saw her husband show affection to their unborn child. "Now you're going to be with your momma for awhile, and I don't want you to give her a hard time you understand?" Kira said shaking a finger at Milly's stomach. "The baby's not even here and you're already scolding it" Milly said with a smile. "Don't worry honey, I'll make sure daddy doesn't go too hard on you" Milly said turning away from Kira, letting her hands rub the sides of her belly. She felt Kira come up behind her and put his hands over hers, so that both proud parents were letting their hands wrap around their unborn child.
Milly was far from showing signs of her pregnancy at the moment, but both of them smiled, knowing that within Milly was a life that she and Kira both created. Long ago she thought that she and Tolle would be in this position, but things managed to work out just fine. Tolle was gone but Kira had proven to be a worthy enough person to find a place in her heart, and she had no regrets. "How about you go take it easy and watch some TV while I get dinner started?" Kira asked. "Okay Sweetie" Milly said as she made her way over to the couch. Kira started on dinner, which consisted of some linguini pasta, Milly's favorite. Usually Kira only cooked half of a batch so there'd be enough for the next time they decide to make it, but Milly was now eating for two, so it was best to make an extra batch just in case she was still hungry.
Setting the pot down on the table, Kira piled some linguini onto a plate in front of his wife. "Dinner is served madam" Kira said sliding the plate over to Milly. "We both thank you sweetie" Milly said as she picked up her fork and began to eat her meal. Kira settled in to start eating his when he looked over and saw Milly start to really dig into hers. He had heard that she'd start eating more and it looks like he had heard right. Kira finished off half of his meal when he looked over and saw Milly scoop out another helping for herself. 'So much for leftovers' Kira thought as he put another piece of Linguini away. Kira managed to secure one last helping for himself while Milly finished off the whole meal by herself, well not technically herself since she had help from the inside.
"I hope you got enough to eat for tonight" Kira said picking up the plates and heading over to the dishwasher. "Oh I did, thanks honey" Milly said assisting him with some of the plates. Kira watched as Milly helped in washing some of the plates off, letting his eyes drift down to her stomach and the bundle of joy she held within, he never felt happier than when he found out that he would soon be a father. There'd be alot of lost sleep and not so quiet days ahead of him, but that could wait, and he had all the time needed to prepare, and ask for advice from other people who walked down this road before.
Putting the last dish away, Kira walked over to Milly and embraced her from behind, letting his lips find the back of her neck. "You know we can't get that close anymore, at least not for awhile" Milly said as she let her hand rest on Kira's neck as he nuzzled her. "I can wait, I'm in no hurry to do anything like that, I'm just trying to get close to you and our baby" Kira said as he turned around facing Milly. Feeling somewhat guilty, Milly leaned in and embraced him. "I'm sorry, I'm just a little moody I suppose" Milly said leaning in. She felt Kira's hands come up and softly stroke her hair, she felt Kira's lips on the topof her head, feeling him kiss her through her hair.
"It's okay, act in any way that let's you feel comfortable, I don't mind at all" Kira said. Looking over at the clock, Kira spied the time being at Seven O' Clock, when something had just registered in his mind. "Did we get any mail today?" Kira asked. "No, I was in such a hurry to tell you the good news that it slipped my mind" Milly confessed. "I'll go check it" Kira said, heading out the door. Walking out to the front of their Apartment, Kira looked in and saw a few envelopes protruding from the slot. Pulling them out Kira returned to his apartment to check them.
"Okay let's see we have water bill, a phone bill and oh a wedding invitation" Kira said. This got Milly's attention and had her sitting beside him to see whom it was from. Opening the invitation up, Kira saw that it was from Sai, his wedding was being held three months from now. "Come to think of it he did mention that he was engaged" Kira said."think we can go?" Milly asked of her husband. "I don't see why not, unless something comes up in the next three months" Kira said.
"Okay then, I'll call Sai and let him know we get the invitation okay and we'll see him in three months, God I hope I can still fit into some of my clothes by then" Milly said looking at herself in the mirror she walked by in the room she shared with Kira. She hadn't developed a bump or any sort of swelling in her stomach just yet but she knew she would soon just as any pregnant woman would. Still, the sheer joy of being pregnant and the thought of being a mother only brought further joy to her soul. 'Only nine months to go' Milly thought happily as she headed over to the phone.
Three Months Later
Sai took another sip of whine from the glass as he and his new bride Cariala started eating their meal, which was catered by the same catering service that had done Kira and Milly's wedding. Milly had reccomended it when they were deciding on the catering, saying they had done a great job at their wedding and that quality would be assured. So far Milly had been right, the food was good and worth every dime. Looking over at Cariala, Sai felt like the luckiest man in the world being with her right now. Her hair was like ebony that flowed down her back like black water, and her eyes the purest green. Her personality was another plus as she would always find a way to lighten the mood, and usually always had a smile on her face, she was always what helped Sai calm down after a hard day at work.
Noticing that she was looking at something, Sai decided to get her attention. "Hey honey, what's up?" Sai asked. "Oh, I was just looking at the happy couple dancing over there, and how sore her feet must be" Cariala said. Looking over, Sai spied the sight of Kira and Milly slow dancing, and Kira holding Milly in a very unique dance position. Kira had one hand on Milly's shoulder, while his other hand rested on her growing stomach. Milly hadn't gotten that much larger, but she was definetley showing signs.
Getting up from where he was, Sai walked looked down to his bride. "Come on let's go say hi" He said. Rising with her husband, Cariala and Sai walked over to where they were dancing. "Hey you two glad you could make it" Sai said shaking Milly's hand. "Hey Sai congratulations" Kira said shaking Sai's free hand.
"Thanks Kira. Hey Milly looks like you're almost due aren't you?" Sai said gesturing to Milly's stomach. "It feels like it, I'm due for my ultrasound tomorrow so we can get our first look at the baby" Milly said, while rubbing her stomach, this got kira to smile. "Well we'll leave you two to your dance, congratulations Kira, Congratulations Milly" Sai said shaking both their hands. Watching him walk back, Kira turned his attention back to his wife and soon to be mother of his children.
"Well my dear, shall we continue where we left off?" Kira asked. "I thought you'd never ask" Milly said leting her hands wrap around Kira's neck.
Later on, once the celebration was done and everyone had gone home, Kira and Milly too had retreated to their apartment for some well deserved rest. Kira meanwhile had decided to do his poor wife a favor. Knowing that milly would be taking on more weight would only be adding some discomfort to her feet, so to help her feel a little better, Kira had taken to giving his wife a foot massage.
"Mmm that feels good Kira" Milly said laying her head back on the pillow of her bed while her husband continued to rub her sore feet. "Glad you like it Milly" Kira said continuing the massage. "Although I wonder if I should trust you to rub my feet knowing how much you like tickling me" she confessed. "Do I look that devious that I'd take advantage of my wife" Kira asked faking the sound of being hurt. "Yes" Milly replied with a smile. "Oh sweetie, I'm hurt, I thought you'd think better of me than that" Kira confessed.
"Don't worry honey I do, I also know you too well" Milly said in a knowing sort of voice. "You're right, you do know me too well" Kira said as he lightly stroked a finger up one of her feet. This got Milly to begin giggling a little, she then began to curse how ticklish she was and how Kira ALWAYS took advantage of it. Kira didn't continue his act but instead moved up to Milly and let his lips rest on hers. Milly was enjoying the kiss until something happened. A sharp pain shot through Milly's stomach and seemed to continue throughout her entire body. Kira felt Milly's lips leave his as he watched her whole body seem to contort in pain. "Milly, hey is everything alright?" Kira said holding Milly up. "Yeah, yeah must have been indigestion or something" Milly said righting herself and sitting up in bed. Kira let his hand wrap around her rubbing her back. "You gave me quite a scare back there Mir, I was really worried for a second" kira said. "It's probably nothing, nothing to worry about" Milly said wrapping her arms around his neck, drawing herself in to him.
Looking down at Milly's belly, kira began to shake his finger at it again. "Now listen here Junior, I will not tolerate you attacking your mother like that, so if you don't want to get grounded as soon as you're born I suggest you start behaving a little better from now on" Kira said in mock punishment. "Will you listen to yourself, threatening to punish the baby while it's still in my stomach" Milly said giggling. "Well I gotta lay down the rules here and show some form of discipline you know I can't let them have their way all the time" Kira said. "I'm also trying to be a good father, I don't want our child to hate me or anything, I just want to..." Kira was interrupted when Milly guided his face over to hers. "I think you'll do fine, you'll be a terriffic daddy to our baby" Milly said wrapping her arms around Kira's head, calming his fears. "Just hearing you say that and seeing how you are now Milly, is living proof, that you'll make a wonderful mother" Kira said to Milly. A smile found it's way across Milly's lips as they both lay back together content to be with one another.
The next day had arrived and both Kira and Milly had found themselves in the hospital room, ready to see the first image of their baby. Milly lay across one of the beds while Kira sat next to her. He had taken the day off from work, having earned at least a total of five days off for good attendance. Kira watched as the door opened and in walked Milly's doctor Herbert Gilstein came into the room. "Okay Milly, and Mr. Yamato I take it?" dr. Gilstein said eying Kira. "Yes nice to meet you sir" Kira said shaking the man's hand. "Nice to meet the proud papa, now let's have a look shall we" Dr. Gilstein said as a nurse wheeled in a cart with the supplies. Kira watched as Dr. Gilstein applied a type of gel to some device. "Okay Milly, this device will allow us to look in and get the first look at the baby, now hold still this is pretty cold" Gilstein said as he spread some of the substance across Milly's stomach. Milly lightly flinched at how it felt, the man was right, it was cold. Milly looked over and saw the monitor on the wall next to her flicker to life while the device was being moved around her stomach.
Observing the screen, Milly watched in the corner of the mostly black screen as a white outlined shape started to move slightly. Milly was speechless at the sight of her child moving before her, she felt Kira's hand grasp hers and give it a gentle squeeze, knowing he was feeling the same thing as her. Kira watched the screen again, but up in the upper right corner, he saw what looked like the same shape, moving around as well. "Umm doctor is this machine broken because, up in the top right of the screen..." Kira said pointing at the monitor. Looking where Kira was pointing, Gilstein observed, and only smiled. "Oh it's not broken mr. Yamato, that in the health business is something we like to call, fraternal twins" Gilstein said leaning back and adjusting his glasses.
Milly soon felt Kira's hand go limp at this, she too felt the shock finally catch up to her as it dawned on her. She would be giving birth to twins, more than one baby, and it sounded like it would be a boy and a girl. Kira at first felt odd, it was almost like finding out that he and Cagalli were siblings, like it was happening all over again. But this time would be different, these twins wouldn't be separated from each other, they'd know each other and grow up together once they were born, and they'd be raised by caring parents too. Kira spoke up when he saw the doctor heading over to the monitor. "Doctor Gilstein, I was wondering if we could have some photos of the babies?" Kira asked of the physician standing before him. "Of course, I'll have them printed up for you before you leave" Dr. Gilstein said.
The happy couple left the building with the photos and the good news. "Well we've got some phone calls to make, again" Kira said with his fingersi nterlocked with Milly. "Yep, yes we do" Milly agreed laying her head on Kira's shoulder. "So what say we get a little lunch and head back home and make the calls?" Kira asked. "That's not bad, but we really need to do some shopping for some things and see where the kids will be staying, they need a room afterall" Milly said. "You're right, we'll eat, shop and then go home and start making calls" They continued onwards until Kira noticed someone sitting in a cab at a stoplight. "Milly look, Cagalli! Cagalli!" Kira called out spying his sister in the car. Cagalli looked over and saw her brother waving at her. Rolling down the window Cagalli looked over and saw that it was Kira and Milly. "Hey you two, what's up?" Cagalli said. "Oh not much, just got back from the hospital and got Milly's ultrasound" kira said.
"Oh, so what'd they say?" Cagali asked. Kira responded by giving Cagalli the photograph that Dr. Gilstein had given them. "What's this?" Cagalli asked. "That's a photo of your neice, and nephew Cagalli" Kira said. To say that Cagalli was speechless, was an understatement. "Wow, deja vu" Cagalli said handing the photo back to her brother.
Well that's it, read and review and be on the lookout for chapter 3
