Summary: Kira & Yzak mused on how their baby girl comes about...
It was late, but Kira was still up and about, busy in the kitchen. Meanwhile, Yzak was seen pacing around in their room upstairs. However, he was not alone for he was cuddling a baby to his chest.
A short while later, Kira entered the room with a milk bottle in hand. The sight of Yzak carrying a baby without making a fuss was rare and amusing to Kira. Despite Kira's unwillingness to interrupt such peaceful sight, he knew he must, otherwise the baby's wails might wake the whole neighbourhood.
"Come, let me have her." Kira said as he closes the door to their room.
Upon Kira's voice, Yzak looked up from the baby and towards his lover, or rather 'husband'; he mused ironically as his gaze landed upon the baby girl he held in his arms. Despite contrary belief, it was him that bottom the relationship. Ironic, but true... what on earth causes him to let Kira top him was unknown. Then again, he didn't really know why they'd ended up together in the first place.
Handing the baby over to Kira, Yzak watched in silence as Kira fed their adopted 'daughter' with a serene expression on his face. Their little baby girl was named 'Alice Jule', she was actually the daughter of Yzak's uncle; who'd unfortunately perished in a crossfire taking place on PLANT between the terrorists and ZAFT's official army forces while they'd been visiting. It just so happen that they were in the area when it took place, thus his uncle had seeked their help in taking care of the baby. However, it seems that fate was being cruel to little Alice. For her mother had died in childbirth, and then losing her father in an attack.
Having been entrusted with the baby by his uncle, Yzak was caught in a dilemma; for he had no idea what to do under such circumstances. After much discussion between his mother and Kira, Yzak decided to adopt Alice as his own. However, due to his involvement with Kira in a romantic relationship, that inevitably makes Kira the other 'parent' of Alice. Thankfully, Kira didn't mind and in fact treated Alice as his own. Ironically, despite it was him who adopted Alice, it seems that most of the time, the responsibility of caring for the baby landed upon Kira. Then again, Kira loved little children hence didn't mind doing the caretaker job. Moreover, Kira would have more experience in caring for little kids as compared to Yzak, who have no experience in that area of fields. After all, Kira used to work with Lacus and taking care of those ophans living in the ophanage.
Yzak was jolt out of his thoughts, when he realized that Kira had finished with the task of feeding and was now singing a lullaby, coaxing the baby to bed. He nearly smile at the sight of Kira kissing Alice goodnight on the forehead, but caught himself in time; as Kira turned towards him with a heartwarming smile.
"Penny for your thoughts?"
"Nothing, just musing on how nice it is to have a family of my own..." Yzak responded, as he sighed in contentment. All the while, staring down at the baby's sleeping face.
