Rosemary's Baby
Well here's the latest chapter, hope you all enjoy. I own none of these characters, they are owned by Bandai and Sunrise. Now on with the fic.
Milly awoke from her slumber, but not in her hospital bed, but in her bedroom back on Deimos. She looked and saw that her belly was still swollen and she was sitting in a rocking chair. Looking over at the window, she looked out the window and felt the sunlight fall across her face. Her hand found it's way to her stomach
gently rubbing it and hoping her children will feel it. Milly began to hum a lullaby to her children as she began to drift asleep. She continued to rest until a noise caught her attention.
Opening her eyes, she saw the the sky was beginning to grow blood red and the previously white fluffy clouds soon turned dark and the sun turned black as sackcloth. Milly turned just as she heard the door open and Kira stood there with his hand still on the doorknob. "Milly...It's time" Kira said, his eyes stark white and an evil smile on his face.
Milly soon found herself in stirrups back in the hospital. The room had taken on an evil red hue, Milly was now not only surrounded by doctors and nurses, but she was now surrounded by all of her friends and family, all wearing the same smile as her husband. "What is this, what's happening?" Milly asked worriedly. "Don't worry honey, you're about to give birth to the new race, the ones that shall truly lead the world towards the future" Kira said his eerie smile never leaving his face. Milly felt straps being drawn down across her wrists, restraining her from moving. "What is this, let me go Kira why are you letting them do this?" Milly asked as beads of sweat and tears ran down her face. Kira gave no response, just continuing to smile just as they all did. "Help! somebody help me please!" Milly screamed, a hand was roughly placed over her mouth. "If you know what's good for you, you'll shut up and give birth to the new breed" She recognized the voice belonging to Athrun.
His hand left Milly's mouth as she stopped struggling but she soon squeezed her eyest shut as her body began to go through the contractions. The pain was unbearable, it was like the children were trying to claw their way out. "AHHH! oh God it hurts, IT HURTS!" Milly screamed as it felt like her lower body was being torn apart. Her back left the mattress while the top of her head remained on the pillow, her screams seemed to intensify until it stopped. Milly's body slowly fell back to the bed. Looking up, she saw Kira holding the two squirming children and wrapping them in blankets and handing them off to Yzak. Leaning forward Kira planted a kiss on Milly's forehead and leaning back. "Thank you Milly, you have given us the first of a new race, and for that you shall be remembered fondly" Kira said, as he slowly removed a knife from his pocket and brought it down towards Milly.
Milly shot up awake from her bed. Looking around she saw that she was still in the hospital, but the room was unchanged, and it wasn't painted in the evil red hues but it was the same as before. Laying back in bed she relaxed, looking up at the television playing in her room. One the screen was a man in a fancy white coat, long black, and shoulder length hair. According to the title below, his name was Gilbert Dullindal, his speech was being given on the peace between Coordinators and Naturals. Milly tried to pay attention to what the man was saying, but it appeared as though sleep was beginning to overtake her again.
"Only by working together can we create and maintain the peace. We extend our hands to those in need..." He droned on as Milly's eyes closed for another round of sleep. "As we prepare for the new race" Gilbert said with an icy chill to his voice. Milly's eyes fluttered open again as she looked forward. The noise of the cameras and the hum of the TV began to die down as something odd began to happen. Gilbert's hands moved in front of his face as they began to come out of the television. Milly watched in a strange fascination as his head soon came out as well and once enough of it was out his feet came out as well and he finally emerged from the TV and into Milly's hospital room.
Milly looked on as a familiar looking smile graced Gilbert's features. Milly saw no malice in his eyes, but uneasiness was still all around her just being in this man's prescence. Gilbert let his hands rest on Milly's swollen abdomen, tenderly caressing it. Milly's fears began to elevate, once he a total stranger who had just emerged from the television began touching her. Gilbert then let his hands move into Milly's stomach, grabbing at her insides. Milly grit her teeth in pain, but surprisingly felt nothing. She soon watched in horror as his hands emerged from her stomach, cradling her children close to him. Milly's eyes flared open and her mouth was agape. "They will be the perfect tools for my peace" he softly said to Milly as he turned and walked out of the hospital room dissapearing. Milly looked at her stomach, and saw that it was perfectly normal, no telltale signs of her pregnancy were to be seen. Quickly removing the various cords and IV's from her and tried to run after Gilbert only to find the entire hospital empty. A noise finally caught her attention as she moved to the nearest window, and saw what looked to be at least a hundred people marching in order down the road. Milly went into an elevator and descended to the ground floor.
Leaving the Hospital entrance, Milly rushed to keep up with the crowd, despite the fatigue she was feeling she was desperate to know where this was going, and just what happened to her children. The group finally stopped once at the center of town, and standing at the center was the man responsible for taking her children. Gilbert Dullindal. "Welcome all and thank you for attending, I'd like to introduce you to my new tools, two children who's DNA is that of both Natural and coordinator, a true blessing and proof that both the races can coexist in peace" Gilbert said. Milly looked on at the children. They both stood next to Gilbert wearing a pair of matching coats like his, but the facial features and their hair were what drew Milly towards them.
The girl had dark brown hair that was brushed forward and tied up in the back in a small ponytail. The boy had a darker shade in his skin while his hair had a lighter tone and was parted in the middle, whil it was slightly fanned out in the back. To Milly there was no mistaking it, they were her children. she wanted so badly to reach out to them, call out to them and hold them, but what could she say. They were both fully grown and she had no idea what their names were. It was like they both grew up without her.
"Oh, I see you're still here. Look on children, she is the woman who gave you life, she is the one who showed us how both races can live and coexist together peacefully, however in the grand scheme of things she is nothing more than a footnote in a history book" Gilbert said cooly. Milly was beside herself, her own children were being used as tools by some dictator, they were just babies and now they had grown up without her. She and Kira weren't even able to give them names. "These...are my children?" Milly asked unable to believe what she was seeing. "Not anymore, they are my tools now, and with them I'll bring about my vision" Gilbert said as he and the children got up and prepared to leave the podium. "Wait! stop don't go" Milly yelled as she ran towards the podium. She did not get far as the boy pulled a gun out and fired on Milly, sending a bullet into her leg. Milly collapsed in pain clutching at the bullet wound in her leg, but still not taking her eyes off of the boy.
"You've done well my child now come along, we have a vision to show to the whole universe" Gilbert said as he raised himself up from the boy's ear level. Milly watched as they turned and walked away, but not before speaking again despite the pain. "Wait, where are you taking them?" Milly asked extending her hand. "I'm not taking them anywhere, they chose to follow" Gilbert said, that same grin of his still on his face. Nodding to the girl, Gilbert and the boy turned and walked away. The girl, knowing her orders, reached into her coat pocket and pulled out her own firearm and trained it on Milly. Milly barely had enough time to gasp as she watched the gun fire at her. Milly saw the bullet screaming towards her, but as it came forward, one of the followers looked down at her and smiled. It was the face of Dearka. "I told you they'd turn out just like me" He said cruely wearing a smile on his face. It was then that the bullet finally came to her head.
Milly shot up out of bed in fright after what she saw. Her own children being taken away and being raised to lead about a revolution in the name of forced peace between coordinators and naturals. She squeezed her eyes shut and hugged her stomach. "I'll protect you both, I swear I'll protect you, I won't let anything happen to you" Milly said, hoping that her words would get through to her children. Her eyes squeezed shut at this while her arms refused to leave the bulge in her stomach. Her hands and eyes remained there for awhile until finally coming up and noticing that her hospital room was in shambles. The window was broken, machines were demolished, and leading from the foot of her bed was a trail of blood. Milly threw back the sheets of her bed and saw what looked like her stomach, had been ripped open. The floor was lined with a trail of blood leading from her bed to out in the hallway. Rising from her bed yet again, Milly trudged onward, being called by some unseen force to find out what had happened.
Once out in the hallway, it was like a warzone. Scorch marks lined the hall, patients and doctor's alike were laying dead on the floor. Turning a corner, Milly saw something that made her skin crawl. Pinned to the wall by his hand and slumped down on his knees was Kira. Kneeling down, she let her hand run across his cheek and her own head leaned against his. She pulled back slightly when it felt wet to the touch, looking at it, she saw a bullethole in his skull with blood still fresh. Moving back in disgust, she looked up and saw on the wall above Kira was a message, scrawled in his own blood: "Death to the Coordinators" Milly felt her insides begin to grow upset and the bile was quickly traveling up her throat at what she saw. Milly let the contents of her stomach flow through her mouth and onto the floor, she wasn't surprised to see some of her blood mixed in with the vomit. Moving away from the horrible sight, Milly stumbled into an elevator and watched as the doors closed on their own. Falling to her knees, Milly cried, the hospital was in ruins, Kira was dead and all she had left to tell of her children was a bleeding hole in her stomach.
The doors opened, and Milly watched as a crowd of people descended on her and dragged her out to the front of the hospital where a man waited with a long pole. Looking closer at the pole, Milly saw that on the end were two infant corpses, here eyes grew wide and fille with tears. "Look at her, look at this devil of a woman who has dared to let a coordinator touch her and plant his seeds of evil in her" The man screamed. His face was a dark tan with hair the same tint as Milly's, his hair curled up in the back but came to a flat top. "We have removed the seeds before they could wreak anymore havoc on our world, but she is already tainted, and must be cleansed!" The man screamed as he pointed towards Milly. She was immediatley seized by his followers and watched as one of them produced a can of gasoline and began dousing her with it. "I won't ask you to repent, for it is already too late for you to be able to be welcomed into our great society now burn in hell with the rest of the sinners" the man said as he removed a mtach from his pocket and struck it igniting it and setting it ablaze. "Be gone from our world, you foul, sinful creature!" the man said tossing the lit match at Milly, causing her to erupt into flames. Milly felt the flames lick away at her flesh and watched as the world around her vanished in a sea of flames, the pain of the fire however, was nothing compared to the pain of what she had seen so far. The pain of seeing everyone she loved, dead right in front of her.
Milly once again awoke with a start shooting up out of her bed, hoping nothing bad would come of it. She was relieved when Kira rushed to her side. Milly instinctively embraced him, throwing her arms around his neck and he returned the favor, letting his hands wrap around her shoulders. "How long have you been here?" Milly asked of her husband. "I've been here all day, I haven't left your side yet" Kira said letting his arms rub across her back. "How long have I been asleep?" Milly asked. "Eight hours total" Kira said to her. "What about work?" Milly said, still in Kira's embrace. "It can wait, you and the babies are far more important to me than that damn place" Kira said in a determined tone of voice. "Thank you Kira" Milly said as she kissed him on the cheek. Kira smiled at this and left a kiss on her cheek as well. "You know, even when we were just friends, holding you like this, just felt right, like I didn't need to do anything else to feel happy, I'd almost forgotten what it felt like to have you in my arms again" Kira said. "I've missed you too sweetheart" Milly admitted.
"So are the dishes piling up without me?" Milly asked leaning back with a sarcastic smile on her face. "I'll have you know that I'm perfectly capable of cleaning up after myself" Kira said in mock hurt as he folded his arms across his chest. This got Milly to start giggling in laughter. It was times like this that made her happy that she married him, even after all those terrible nightmares he was making her feel a whole lot better. "Well you better get used to cleaning up a whole lot then, we've got a couple of new arrivals due home and they'll be there for awhile" Milly said with a smirk on her face. "Bring em' on, there's nothing the pilot of the Freedom Gundam can't handle" Kira said with a confident smile on his face.
Content with how he was making her feel, Milly leaned up and kissed Kira once again. "Thank you sweetheart, you have no idea how good seeing you right now has made me feel" Milly said. "I'll always be here for you Milly, you don't have to worry about that, ever" Kira said as he kissed Milly on the lips. "Excuse me Mr. Yamato but, closing hours are close and we'll have to lock up soon" one of the nurses said. "Looks like that's my cue, I have to go now sweetie" Kira said. "I know you do" 'but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt' Milly mentally added. Sharing one last kiss, Kira left the room, his heart breaking as he left his wife to the care of the hospital employees. Watching him leave, Milly tried to keep her thoughts on Kira, hoping to keep the nightmares away as she felt herself drifting off again. Trying her best, she dreamed of a dream of her, Kira and the children sharing a picnic in their favorite park, away from the horrors of Dearka Elthman, Blue Cosmos and Gilbert Dullindal.
Well that's it for this chapter, please review.
