A new Story. Most likely this will turn out to be a two-shot if I can't think of more to happen. When writing this I was feeling 'different' so some parts are really deep. But I love it! I love it all. And listenign to my new Simple Plan CD helps. So much angst. Well Enjoy it and I hope you like the deep parts as much as my other fics.

Also if you've seen the Final Phase from Gundam SEED Destiny then you will understna d the one thing. Released in Japan only. )

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in Gundam SEED Destiny or in this fic. Well I own my story but that's all.Because if I did then there would alot more then 2 AsuCag moments! Also Meyrin fans beware!


"Phone call Mr. Zala!" a maid called from outside his room. Athrun had settled down in a nice house and had a good life working in Orb Management. It was, as they say fun. Well for Athrun it was. All he saw was paperwork.

"I got it!" Athrun called back to his maid. "Hello? Athrun Zala speaking." Athrun said while flipping through papers. Nothing or rather no one replied. "Who is this?" Athrun asked if someone was actually there. A sob was heard on the end. "Meyrin! Is that you?" Athrun asked concerned.

"Is that the only person who can call you crying?" a voice croaked over the phone. "Is that you Cagalli?" Athrun asked confused. "Y-Yes." Cagalli's soar voice said. "I thought we were going to stay away from each other Cagalli?" Athrun questioned. "I'm planning to get married to Meyrin. I can't be with you." Athrun said though it did hurt him.

"I tried Athrun. I even tested twice…" Cagalli mumbled and faded out into more tears. "Cagalli what is going on?" Athrun asked confused. "C-Can you just come over? It will be easier on me." Cagalli requested. "Okay." Athrun said softly in that, 'I understand' voice that everyone loved so much. "I'll be over right away." Athrun said softly.

"I'm going out." Athrun said to the maid outside. "Where should I tell Miss Meyrin where you are going?" the maid asked softly. "Just tell her I'm out." Athrun said pulling on a coat. "You know, Miss Meyrin worries so, when you are gone." the maid said helping him fix the coat. "I know." Athrun said and left.

)--00--00--(

"Cagalli?" Athrun asked stepping into her house. "She's up stairs Mr. Zala." one of Cagalli's maids said taking his coat. "I'll bring you. And may I say It's been such a long time since you've been here." the maid said as Athrun followed her upstairs. "Hey Cagalli!" the maid called knocking on the door. "Why don't you just go in. She hasn't been feeling good lately and I don't want her to yell at me." the maid said shoving Athrun inside the room.

"I don't want-" Cagalli started but faded out when she saw Athrun standing in the door way smiling. "Hey Athrun." she said not looking at him. "Umm Hi. Why did you invite me over?" Athrun asked sitting down next to her on her bed. Cagalli had grown her hair out a bit so it brushed her shoulder, her face was pale and looked a bit scared, and her frame was a bit shaky.

"What's wrong?" Athrun asked taking her hand in his to hind it ice cold. "Bathroom." she said simply. "What?" Athrun asked confused. "Just go. Look in the bathroom." Cagalli said in a shaky voice. Athrun didn't argue and went into the bathroom.

What he first saw was a pregnancy test and his eyes widened. He also found a used one on the sink. Two blue lines where on it. Athrun's shaky hands grabbed the box and read the directions. "Two lines means your pregnant and one means your not." he read. "Cagalli's pregnant. With my baby." Athrun said in a shocked tone. He dropped the box and shakily made his way toward the door to find Cagalli crying on her bed.

"You saw it?" she asked, her voice shaky. "Yeah. I saw it." Athrun said in a strong voice. "So what are you going to do with it?" Athrun asked. "It is not an 'it'. That is my baby your talking about. I believe that everyone has a chance at life. So I'm going to keep it." Cagalli said as more tears poured down her face. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to call our baby an 'it'." Athrun said sitting down on the bed.

"What are you going to do Athrun Zala?" Cagalli asked. "I saw you. When you went to the grave, when Kira first met Shinn." Cagalli mumbled. "Ah that was-" Athrun started but stopped when shook her head and started crying again. "I saw you leave with her! She's a coordinator! How am going to compare to that!" Cagalli cried into a blanket she was holding. Her sobbing voice let out hics from gasping for air. Athrun had never seen Cagalli like this.

"Coordinators." Cagalli mumbled. Athrun watched his closely. "Maybe Patrick Zala was right…" Cagalli muttered she was looking across the room her eyes were glazed and she had a distance look in her eyes. Athrun felt bad that she brought up his father. "Coordinators are so advanced, us naturals can't compare, can we?" Cagalli asked as she turned to Athrun. He blinked.

"For a natural to fall in love with coordinator wouldn't be hard. But for a Coordinator to fall in love with a natural is impossible isn't it?" Cagalli asked. Athrun could answer her. He watched the floor intently. "Humans are humans, men are men, and women are women. But to separate two groups just because one is better then another is not a world I want." Cagalli said walking slowly to the window and placing her hand on the glass. "And to think I am in that same spot now. To think about things like that is scary. Coordinators. Heh. Are always prettier, smarter, and just more advanced then naturals. So I guess I knew this was going to happen but…" Cagalli trailed.

"Patrick Zala was right. Coordinators are a whole different species then naturals." Cagalli finished. "Cagalli that's not it!" Athrun shouted standing. "My father was wrong!" Athrun shouted stepping closer. "How would your father think about you now!" Athrun shouted getting mad. "Don't come closer." Cagalli stated in a deadly serious voice. Athrun stopped with a gasp. "Stay away from me." she said in her serious tone again.

Athrun saw tears falling down her face in her reflection on the sun setting sky outside. Athrun didn't stop any longer he kept going. "I said stop!" Cagalli barked loosing her composure. "Cagalli." Athrun said softly pulling her into a hug from behind. "Stay away from me dammit!" Cagalli screamed turning in his arms and started banging his chest. "Go ahead. Beat me all you want." Athrun mumbled into her hair.

"How would my father feel! He would feel sorry for his poor sluty daughter would got her self pregnant with a man who's going to get married to a coordinator so we can't be together. He would be disappointed that I ended up like a crying little bitch in that man's arms. But I would hate him! I would hate you! And Meyrin! And Kira! And Lacus! And everyone! But most of all I would hate myself more then anything! I would hate myself for hating all of them!" Cagalli cried in Athrun's arms. Her first were balled in his shirt almost ripping it. "I would hate myself because I still love you!" Cagalli cried.

Athrun's eyes widened at Cagalli. He had never seen how bad she was suffering. Because she loved him she had to suffer most of all. To keep all of her feelings locked up at once. Athrun didn't know what to tell her. "So you still love me yet you told me to stay away from you and agreed that we should never be together?" Athrun questioned.

"Because I know you had Meyrin! And I knew I couldn't stop her from loving you! And I knew I didn't stand a chance compared to her! So I thought if I got away from you then it would be easier for me to see that and let you go!" Cagalli cried. "But it only got harder and harder everyday that passed." Cagalli cried more. "She helped you when I couldn't! She was there! For all your emotions! I couldn't compare! I was never there! I was always busy and I always had something else to do!" Cagalli shouted gripping his shirt tighter.

"I wanted to be there for you Athrun! I wanted to be normal when I met you! I wanted to be your wife! I wanted to be someone that when you came back from war I could greet you home with a warm smile and a dinner for the two of us! And you could tell me about battle and I would love you so much and be there to comfort you when you were in pain!" Cagalli shouted crying.

"I'm sorry I never knew." Athrun said softly. "Of course because I'm the chairman of Orb. I'm the leader. So that means that means that I can't have a life." Cagalli cried. She shut her eyes painfully. Athrun pulled her closer in his arms. He just let Cagalli cry on his chest.

Kira sat back in his chair. Him and Lacus had settled in well back at a house built by Cagalli for them. But also Kisaka had set up a video camera in Cagalli's room so Kira and Lacus could always help out with Cagalli's problems. Needless to say that they saw what happened just now.

Lacus moved around her thread bucket. "Why aren't you going there?" Lacus asked. "Why aren't you?" Kira asked back. Lacus looked back at him and then smiled. She turned back to looking for the thread. "Cagalli already knows we will take her in. And so does Athrun. They don't trust each other. And if we were there, they'll but up an act." Lacus said softly moving more thumbs of thread around. "So if we don't go they will be fine?" Kira asked. "Of course." Lacus nodded.

She stopped moving her hand. "So you found it?" Kira asked turning to face her. "Cagalli's color." Lacus said looking at the dark green thread. "So your making her something again aren't you, Lacus Clyne?" Kira asked. "Yes I am. Kira Clyne." Lacus said standing with the thread.

"Boy Cagalli. Look at the pickle where in now." Kira muttered holding the cup of water he had in his hand up to his forehead.

At Athrun's house they also had a camera linked to Cagalli's bed room. Though Athrun never kept it on. Meyrin on the other hand had to take a look. As she entered the house she called for Athrun but found no one. "Miss Meyrin, Athrun wanted me to tell you he went 'out'." the maid from before said. Meyrin nodded and went to Athrun's room.

She always did that went Athrun went 'out'. She went to Athrun's room and turned on the TV of Cagalli's room. She saw Athrun passing across the room and into another door and come back out shaking.

She saw it all.

"For a natural to fall in love with coordinator wouldn't be hard. But for a Coordinator to fall in love with a natural is impossible isn't it?" Cagalli asked. Athrun could answer her. He watched the floor intently. "Humans are humans, men are men, and women are women. But to separate two groups just because one is better then another is not a world I want." Cagalli said walking slowly to the window and placing her hand on the glass.

Meyrin placed her hand over her heart and began to think. "Poor Miss Cagalli." she muttered.

"How would my father feel! He would feel sorry for his poor sluty daughter would got her self pregnant with a man who's going to get married to a coordinator so we can't be together. He would be disappointed that I ended up like a crying little bitch in that man's arms. But I would hate him! I would hate you! And Meyrin! And Kira! And Lacus! And everyone! But most of all I would hate myself more then anything! I would hate myself for hating all of them!" Cagalli cried in Athrun's arms. Her first were balled in his shirt almost ripping it. "I would hate myself because I still love you!" Cagalli cried.

Meyrin's eyes widened. 'She still loves him. So much.' Meyrin thought. Her heart was breaking.

"Because I know you had Meyrin! And I knew I couldn't stop her from loving you! And I knew I didn't stand a chance compared to her! So I thought if I got away from you then it would be easier for me to see that and let you go!" Cagalli cried. "But it only got harder and harder everyday that passed." Cagalli cried more. "She helped you when I couldn't! She was there! For all your emotions! I couldn't compare! I was never there! I was always busy and I always had something else to do!" Cagalli shouted gripping his shirt tighter.

Meyrin gasped and placed her hands over her mouth and began to cry. "I-I never knew how much she cared." Meyrin cried. She turned off the TV and ran to her own room and began to cry. 'Cagalli is pregnant with Athrun's baby! I can't stay with him! It would be wrong but I love him so much.' Meyrin thought crying more and more.

)--00--00--(

Athrun dragged his way into his house and put up his coat. He wasn't anything but confused. "Meyrin! Are you home?" Athrun called hoping he could talk to his soon be wife and figure this all out. "Athrun…" Meyrin's voice called out from her own room. Athrun took a deep breath and entered.

Once he was in he saw her tear stained face. "I heard about you and Cagalli. I watched the TV." Meyrin cried. "Oh you did." Athrun stated. "I know how much she loves you. I could sense it from here." she said in a sad tone. "So?" Athrun asked hopeful she wouldn't do anything stupid.

"Athrun," Meyrin started and Athrun gulped. "I love you. I love you a lot Athrun." she said softly. "And I can see that you… don't love me as much as I do you." she said softly. "But wait-" Athrun started but was cut off by Meyrin. "Athrun! I can see the love in your eyes when you look at her! The pain in your heart when we talk about her! The pained look you get when I kiss you! You can't fool me Athrun Zala!" Meyrin shouted.

"I-I'm sorry." she mumbled softly. "No I derived it. From everyone." Athrun said sadly. "That was out of line for me though." Meyrin said grabbing a suitcase she packed. "I'm going to live with Luna and Shinn. Go to talk Cagalli again. She will always have a weak point for you no matter what she says." Meyrin said walking past him.

"Cagalli-" Athrun started when Meyrin was right besides him. "She once said to me, Athrun Zala you take care of that girl! She is worth fighting for." Athrun said softly. "I see." Meyrin said smiling. Though she didn't feel like smiling she did. "You know what that means Mr. Zala?" Meyrin asked as she started past him again. "What?" Athrun asked turning to see Meyrin running down the stairs.

Athrun went to the top and saw Meyrin stop on the ground floor. "I'm never giving up Mr. Zala. Never!" Meyrin said waving at him with her opened hand. "You do that." Athrun said as Meyrin made it out the door.

"Believe me Athrun. I will never give up on finding my true love. But thankyou for showing me the way." Meyrin said smiling as she faced the sunny day ahead of her.

Athrun still wasn't sure of what was going on. Meyrin had left him and now Cagalli was pregnant with his baby. There was only one person he could go to now … Lacus. Athrun got in his car and drove to Lacus's and Kira's house. "Mr. Zala?" a maid who worked for Lacus and Kira questioned as he entered. "Oh hello there." Athrun said smiling. "Mr. Clyne was going to visit you this same day. I'm glad you're here." the maid said taking his coat.

"Top room?" Athrun asked pointing to the stairs. "Yes sir." the maid nodded. Athrun started walking to Lacus's room. "Umm Lacus? Kira?" Athrun asked knocking on the door. "Come in Athrun." Lacus called. The sound of a sewing kit filled the room as he entered. Athrun saw Lacus working on a cloth. "Kira, he's here." Lacus called no even looking up, she just kept her hands busy.

Kira who was just coming out of the shower had pants on and a towel on his head. "Hey Athrun." Kira said as he grabbed a shirt and put it on. "Hey," Athrun called back and took a seat on the couch. "I'm almost done." Lacus said smiling at her handy work. "That's good." Kira said sitting across from Athrun.

"I'm guess you watched the TV too." Athrun said sighing. "We always do." Kira said sadly. "Then why didn't?-" Athrun started but stopped as a snapping thread and cloth moving. "We didn't go over because you knew us and so did Cagalli. We couldn't let you find your own feelings any more. It isn't right." Lacus said moving the cloth around the sewing machine and began again.

"Cagalli, she would never tell us. You know how she is." Lacus said softly. The room was quite only for the sound of Lacus sewing. "I see." Athrun said softly. "I'm done." Lacus said as the sewing machine stopped suddenly. "Really?" Kira asked shocked. "Yes." Lacus said softly. Lacus folded her work and placed it in a bag. "Here Athrun. Please give this to her." Lacus asked giving him a paper bag with her work in it.

"Sure Lacus." Athrun said taking the bag from her. "Go now. I have a feeling that Cagalli is lonely. And she must be wondering what's going on now." Lacus said grabbing Athrun's hand pulling him up. "Okay Lacus." Athrun said walking out the door with the bag. "Are we doing the right thing Kira?" Lacus asked holding her hands. "Of course we are." Kira said softly as he watched Athrun get into his car and drive away in the dark.
