A/N: I finally had time to write the third chapter! Yippee for me! I had so many damn tests this week it's unbelievable! Anywhoo here goes the third chapter. There is lots of detail so I think I'll rate this a little over teen just for the heck of it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam SEED (if I did, Flay would've died a lot sooner or would not have become crazy.)

Without You

Chapter 3: There's Time for Everything

"Mummy… who's car is that in the driveway?"

After she and Lacus had finished their lunch they ended up shopping at a few places. Cagalli ended up buying a new pair of 1-inch heel shoes that were black and very comfy. Shortly after, Cagalli thanked Lacus for the afternoon and headed to Mira's pre-school to pick her up.

"I'm not sure…" 'Athrun's car is there…then who…?'

-Inside the house-

"Cagalli's here!"

"What! Already! I'm not finished yet! When she gets inside, stall her until I'm done."

"When will we know when you're done?"

"You'll know, believe me."

-Just outside-

The second Cagalli opened the door to her two story home Mira dashed in front of her.

"Uncle Kira!"

Cagalli came in just in time to see her daughter jump into the arms of her younger brother. (A/N: I think Cagalli's older and no one say otherwise as I have not seen any G SEED Destiny)

"Hey there Mira! How's my favourite niece?" He smiled at her and kissed her on the forehead.

"Uncle Kira, I'm your only niece." Kira laughed as Mira continued, "So why are you here?"

"Why I came for a visit of course. I've got to be polite and say hello to your mother."

"What does 'polite' mean?"

"Go ask Auntie Lacus."

"She's here too!" When Kira nodded he put her down and she ran off to find Lacus.

"Well this is an unexpected surprise." Cagalli walked over and hugged Kira. He in return kissed her cheek. She smiled up at him, he was a full head over her, and messed up his hair a bit.

"Hey!" He ducked away from her, "It took me a good while to get that stubborn tuff out of my hair. Now it's back; thanks a lot!" He stared at her in mock anger.

Cagalli smiled innocently, "Older sister privileges."

Lacus came in just then, Mira right behind her. She had changed into one of her nice outfits. "Hello again Cagalli." Mira stood beside Kira as Lacus moved to Cagalli. She whispered in her ear, "We're taking Mira out for the night. She'll stay at our home and I'll drop her off at school in the morning." She smiled at Cagalli.

Cagalli was now thoroughly confused. Mira hugged her mother good-bye and Kira smirked at her while he went past her. She didn't even turn around to stop then because she saw Athrun coming towards her. "Can you tell me what's go -"

She was cut off when his lips cam into contact with hers. He pulled away and smiled at her, "Hungry?"

She didn't know why he was doing this but she had no complaints. So she nodded and he led her to the dinning room.

The sight she saw took her breath away. The dining room was pitch black except for two candles set to either side of the table. The table itself was draped in a red cloth and two wine glasses rested beside their plates. On the plates there were Athrun's famous steaks as well as vegetables to their liking. Cagalli spoke three words, "Oh my God…"

"Well?" Athrun put simply.

"It's beautiful!" she turned and jumped into his arms, "Thank you so much Athrun!" She kissed him and he led her to the table.

Throughout their dinner they talked mainly about things that they hadn't had the time to tell each other; every now and again Athrun throwing a sweet comment at his wife. God he loved her so and he marvelled at how much she had to tell him, cursing himself for being so busy. He knew that Cagalli was worried about the up coming election as well as busy, but he could've at least have tried to help lessen the stress.

Cagalli on the other hand was the happiest person on the face of the earth tonight. They had started supper at around five and it was now just past seven. When their conversation ended Cagalli was about to get up and bring the dishes when Athrun stopped her. He told her that he'd bring in the dishes and for her to wait for him in the living room.

She waited no more than ten minutes when he came in and sat beside her immediately putting his arm around her shoulders. They turned on the TV and ended up finding one of Cagalli's favorite movies, so they watched it; exchanging long kisses during commercials.

When the movie ended it was around nine. Cagalli got up off the couch and was stretching when suddenly Athrun picked her up bridal style. She yelped and was about to protest but again she was silenced by the touch of Athrun's lips on hers. He carried her upstairs and into the bedroom where they both fell on the bed.

Cagalli's fingers quickly undid the buttons of his shirt and slipped it off, throwing it onto the floor. Athrun slipped her blouse over her head and threw that on the floor as well. They lay side by side and took off their pants and undergarments and they rolled together, Cagalli on top. He reached up behind her back and slowly undid the clips holding her bra together, slipped it off her arms and threw that onto the floor as well.

Each remembering the other's 'sweet spots' they raced each other to get to them, Athrun always winning. He would keep his hands beside her and kiss her on and around her breasts. She in turn would kiss the back of his neck, just behind his ear, and nip at his nipples.

Finally they made love. It was more passionate than anything Cagalli had ever experienced before. This was what she needed; this is what she had wanted.

Cagalli Yula Zala fell asleep in her husband's arms, feeling more alive than ever before. The last thing she said before falling asleep was thank you.
