Chapter: Once Again
Miari and Nicol were talking about nothing really just the usual. But as they sat there waiting for Athrun and Cagalli they noticed that Cagalli's car hadn't left the driveway.
"Well she obviously spent the night." Nicol smiled.
"Mhmm. Well they are engaged. Oh! I can't wait till the wedding. All the beautiful outfits, smiles, vibrancy…" Miari was lost in a dream world.
"Miari, Earth to Miari." Nicol snapped his fingers. Miari looked at him stupidly then Athrun strolled down the stairs.
"Hey." Nicol smiled.
"Hey. So who do you this is awake?" Athrun asked.
"Well, Yzak and Shace are up. We sorta 'disturbed' them this morning." Miari giggled.
"Oh?" Athrun smiled. "Cagalli should be down in a moment. They're trying to find her some clothes."
"So she did stay?" Miari asked.
"Yes. She has to move in soon." He smiled.
"I see." Miari smiled as Cagalli come down in tan capris and a red hooded sweater.
"You look good." Athrun kissed her and she still blushed.
"Hi Cagalli." Nicol waved.
"Good morning." Cagalli stood close to Athrun looking uncomfortable.
"So shall we get Yzak and Shace out of their house.
"Let's make sure they're dressed first." Miari smirked.
"Good point." Athrun grinned.
The 4 all gathered into Miari's SUV and drove off to the Juel house. At the sound of the gate closing, Shace came out of the front door wrapped up in a big hoodie and her knee length tights. She waved wildly.
"MIA!" Shace ran over to her as they got out of the car.
"What?"
"Hi Cagalli, Athrun, Nicol. Okay, Yzak's taking me on a 2 month cruise!" Shace was so hyper and excited her face was turning blue.
"Alright. Settle down." Yzak smirked as he stood leaning in the doorframe.
"Okay. So, do you 2 want to go out to brunch with us?" Athrun asked.
"Oh. Yzak?" Shace looked in his direction with a pout. He looked at her sternly but gave in and nodded. "YAY!"
"Good. Let's go then." Cagalli ushered them towards the SUV.
"Uh…Cagalli?" Yzak glared at her. "I have my own car and we're not all going to fit in there." Cagalli stopped and blushed.
"Right."
"It's okay." Shace smirked. "Yzak just enjoys flaunting his cash flow." Shace giggled.
XXXXXXXXXXXThey all walked into the fair sized restaurant to find Lacus and Kira sitting at an over sized table.
"Umm…surprise." Kira smiled as Lacus and he stood to greet them.
"Hi Kira, Lacus." Athrun addressed the couple. It had been a year or two since they'd been married. Cagalli had been chose as the Maid-of-Honor, wrapped in a slimming black dress. The first time Athrun had seen her since she broke off her wedding with Ahmed. The first time he realized he love her. They all sat quickly and the waitress took their orders.
Miari noted Kira flinch and looked at him curiously. He stopped eating his bread stick and looked around the table. He took Lacus's hand. "We're umm…Lacus and I are…pregnant." Kira blushed.
Miari practically shot up in her seat. Shace shook her head wildly in giddiness. Athrun's jaw dropped and Cagalli smiled sweetly.
"Congrats." Yzak said simply.
"This is terrific news!" Cagalli squeezed Athrun's hand and closed his mouth.
"Yea!" Miari nodded. "Wow…this is almost too good. First a wedding to be planned, then a new baby to come into the world…"
"You ever get the feeling she's hinting at something?" Yzak whispered to Nicol. His eyes were bigger then the omelet that sat infront of him.
"She's happier then we were." Lacus smiled kindly.
"You'll make a wonderful mother, Lacus." Athrun looked over at Kira with an eyebrow raised.
"What?" Kira asked intercepting Athrun's look.
"Nothing."
"I'm starving." Shace dug into her breakfast. Miari ate like a young lady should and resisted smacking Shace's face into her plate.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX"Thanks for brunch." Cagalli got out of the SUV. "Now…what do you want to do?"
"I don't know. Isn't the wedding planner coming at 3?"
"Athrun." Cagalli tapped her foot.
"Oh." He pulled her towards him and into the house. "Is this what you wanted." He pulled her down into a deep passionate kiss.
"I wanna move the wedding." Cagalli said quickly breaking the kiss.
"Huh? To when?" Athrun held her chin lightly in his hands.
"Well Yzak and Shace are going on that 2 month cruise in a week. I was thinking a moth after that." Cagalli batted her eyelashes.
"For April?" Athrun looked at her sternly. "What aren't you telling me? Are you-"
"No. I just…I want Lacus to be there. She's 3 months, so she'd be 6 there. Or we could have it next week. So she can look her best in the bride's mates dresses." Cagalli blushed.
"Next week sounds good." Athrun pulled all of her towards him and kissed her.
"That's why I love you." Cagalli tucked her head under his chin and hugged him. "So now what do you want to do? We have an hour before the planner gets here." Cagalli played with his shirt collar.
"…Cagalli…"
"Yea-woof!" Athrun carried her up the stairs to the bedroom and flung the door open.
"I thought you carried the bride over the threshold, after, the wedding." She looked into his intense green eyes. "You don't care."
"Not really." He lay her down on the bed, closed and locked the door.
The hour before the planner got there was history.
Cagalli sat up and walked over the spot where her clothes lay and pulled them on as Athrun did the same. A maid knocked on the door to inform them that the planner was there.
"Ready?" Athrun took Cagalli's face in his hands and ran his fingers through her hair.
"You bet." She nodded and they kissed.
