Life Or Something Like It
Calm Before The Storm
(A/N: The next few scenes take place just a few minutes before Shinn and the others enter the café)
FLASHBACK
"Listen Mir," Sai spoke looking at Mir who was dressed in blue jeans and black sweater.
"Yes," Mir responded with hidden excitement. She had been waiting several months for the information that Sai had finally finished collecting. Little did she know that Sai had been keeping the information to himself knowing what would happen if he gave it to Miriallia.
"I have the information, but," Sai said looking away.
"But?"
"Do you really want to see this, if I give you this there is no going back,"
"I don't care, please Sai I have to know," Mir pleaded.
"All right," Sai said giving in to Mir. He pushed forward a folder that held everything the she wanted to know or what she said needed to know.
Mir noticed that after Sai gave her the folder he silently had gotten up from his chair and left. 'Probably doesn't want to see my reaction,' she thought. As Mir flipped through the folder she realized that her suspicion was true. As she sat there staring at the folder her thoughts were assaulted by things of promises now broken.
MINI-FLASHBACK
"Do you promise Dearka," Mir spoke her eyes never leaving Dearka's.
"Yes, I promise," he responded.
END MINI-FLASHBACK
"He promised," Mir sobbed to herself as she sat there all alone in the café. Until two couple's walked into the café. 'Oh, know it's Shinn and the others,' Mir thought as she suddenly ran from the café, still crying and sobbing He promised.
END FLASHBACK
It was now midnight and Mir was now at her house. Tolle had even come over while she was crying and tried to help. Of course he was more of a problem but in Mir's fragile state she hadn't noticed and broke down crying to him and had told the entire story to Tolle. He of course had some wise words for the situation. OF course this is the full of himself Tolle Koenig.
FLASHBACK
"So he has your daughter," Tolle spoke making sure he understood.
"Yes," Mir answered.
"Your biological daughter," Tolle spoke again.
"Yes,"
"Then think about it," Tolle continued, "If she's your daughter, your biological daughter, then you must fight for her custody,"
"What?"
"You heard me, you clearly saw that he wasn't watching her, she ran into the middle of the road and was almost killed, he clearly can't take care of her,"
"You're," Mir started, "You're right, he can't take care of her, he broke his promise to me,"
All Tolle thought as he walked away that night was, 'Perfect,'
END FLASHBACK
Meanwhile at Heine's apartment…
It was morning, the birds were singing, the sun was shining, and Heine was fast asleep next to Meryin not experiencing a bit of it. His entire thought process was sleep and not move because he was really enjoy it because Meryin was laying on top of him in one of his shirts softly sleeping and the last thing he wanted was to wake her up.
"Heine," Meryin whispered.
"Ya," he responded.
"Do you think Luna is with Shinn right now,"
"Probably,"
"What do you mean probably?"
"I mean, they're probably doing what we are doing," Heine answered.
At Shinn's…
Heine's idea of what Shinn and Luna was close but not correct. Shinn was laying in bed with Luna much like Heine and Meryin but he was making out with Luna instead of either sleeping or talking to each other.
"Wow," Luna breathed as they finally stopped.
"Ya, wow," Shinn continued.
"I'm so glad Heine convinced you to finally ask me out," Luna spoke as she snuggled into Shinn.
All Shinn managed to do was croak out a "Uh-uh," as he blushed. Shinn was finally happy, and he had Luna to thank for that happiness.
At the Zala's…
"Good morning," Athrun said walking into his kitchen to see Cagalli cooking.
"Morning, sweetie," Cagalli said flipping pancakes.
"Morning daddy," Kian said bouncing in his chair.
"Hey kiddo," Athrun said kissing the top of his sons head, "How's mommy's cooking?" He asked while whispering.
"I heard that Athrun," Cagalli spoke turning around to face Athrun.
"Really, and what are you going to do about it?" Athrun questioned as he walked up to his wife and wrapped his arms around her.
"I was going to kill you for one," Cagalli answered as she leaned in for a kiss. As Athrun leaned in as well he was suddenly stopped by the sound of a pancake hitting him in the back of the head.
"Please tell me that wasn't what I think it was?" Athrun asked looking at Cagalli. Cagalli started to laugh at Athrun's bad luck.
Cagalli looked behind Athrun to see her son laughing in his chair. "Daddy all messy," Kian spoke while laughing.
At the Yamato's…
Kira was walking around the corner to the kitchen for breakfast when he was attacked by to bouncing Haro's. "For the love of…" Kira screamed as the two bouncing machine balls hit him.
"Mommy, daddy yelled at my Haro," Nina said from her chair.
"Kira, apologize to Nina's Haro," Lacus ordered.
"What?" Kira asked wide-eyed as the red bouncing Haro and the pink Haro did what they did best. That naturally is of course bounce and annoy Kira to no end.
"Kira you heard me, apologize to Nina's Haro," Lacus ordered again.
"And again, what?" Kira asked again. This was of course countered by not his wife Lacus but by his daughter.
"But, but," Nina starter to slowly cry, "You were mean to my Haro!" Nina then went into full blown crying.
"Oh, Nina, hey stop crying," Kira said softly as he hugged his daughter close, "Please,"
"I'd say sorry to her Haro now," Lacus spoke.
Figuring it was probably the only way to stop his daughter Kira of course decided to give it a shot. "All right," Kira said. He turned around and caught the bouncing red Haro. "Look, Haro, I'm sorry,"
And just like that the tears from Nina stopped. "Thanks daddy," Nina said excitedly.
"How does she do that?" Kira questioned looking at Lacus.
"She gets that from me," Lacus giggled. She then gave Kira a hug and a kiss on the cheek before picking Nina up to get her dressed.
"God, I love my life," Kira spoke to himself as he sat down to eat breakfast.
At Busters…
"Hello ladies and gentlemen," Dearka said waltzing through the door.
"You look like crap," Heine spoke up.
"I know, I feel like it to," Dearka replied.
"What the hell happened to you?" Shinn asked walking through the door.
"What happened, that's a good question," Dearka answered, "Do you remember that storm we had last night?"
"Do I, cause of that I got to talk to Meryin all night," Heine answered happily.
"Well sadly Ami doesn't share those thoughts," Dearka spoke again.
"What's wrong now?" Luna asked after hearing the conversation. She of course was naturally concerned about Ami's well being. Luna like all of Dearka's friends had helped take care of Ami when Dearka needed the help, which was a lot.
"Well during that storm last night Ami was scared and cried all night," Dearka said sadly.
"What did you do to help her go to sleep?" Luna questioned.
"Let's see, I tried warm milk, singing, reading to her, played games," Dearka answered as he rambled on about a list worth of things.
"And all that didn't help?" Heine asked in shock.
"Nope, she finally did go to sleep after I slept on the floor in her room," Dearka answered, "When she did go to sleep, I tried to sneak out but it started to storm again and she woke up,"
"Damn," Shinn muttered to himself.
"Well, I better go pay bills for the club and crap like that," Dearka said heading to his office.
"What about Ami's birthday?" Luna reminded.
"Oh, ya, I better plan that as well," Dearka answered smacking his forehead, "Thanks for the reminder,"
In Dearka's office…
"That isn't really the reason for the bad day is it?" Shiho asked. She had come in early that day knowing that Ami's birthday was coming and thanks to Yzak knew why he was always so down a few days before it.
"What do you mean?" Dearka questioned.
"You've been mopping around for days," Shiho answered.
"So, what does it matter?" Dearka questioned again.
"It matters to us, your friends, the people who care about you,"
"Again, why does it matter?" Dearka again questioned this time with more annoyance present in his voice.
"Because, your daughters birthday is in a few days and you look like a lost puppy," Shiho answered back with anger.
"Do you want to know why Shiho?" Dearka questioned with arrogance.
"Yes, I want to know why Mir isn't with you right now and why you're such an ass a few days before all the time!"
"You answered your own question Shiho,"
"What?"
"The reason I'm such an ass, as you say, is because Mir isn't with me right now," Dearka answered sadly as he sat down on the couch in his office.
"Why Dearka, why did she leave you with Ami?" Shiho pleaded as she pulled a chair up so she could look directly into his eyes.
"Do you really want to know?" Dearka questioned once again. He was asking this again so that he could make sure she wanted to know, because he didn't feel like going down this path once again for no reason.
"Yes Dearka, I want to know so that I can understand why and so that I can help you,"
"It's along story," Dearka stated more to himself than anyone.
"I have time," Shiho stated back.
TBC…
Well that's it for this chapter, please read and review and as always enjoy.
For the record I'm sorry for those who wanted to know why Mir doesn't understand why Dearka has Ami, it was going to be this chapter but to fit the title I cut it out so that the flashback can have an entire chapter to itself.
Later days…
