Shinji and Rei called security to come and let the out of the control room and separate the two, now fuming, females. Asuka was currently hanging on Misato's back with the legs wrapped around her and her right forearm pressed firmly against Misato's throat. She then used her left arm to pull harder on her right. The result was Misato's face was quickly starting to match her hair color. Misato was not taking it sitting down though as she repeatedly rammed her back, and Asuka, into a wall.

"She seems very aggressive and unstable," stated Rei as she looked at the screen.

Shinji gulped slightly, "Yeah, and she's going to be pissed when they get that door open."

"She shall not harm you."

"I'm more worried about you. You know she's never liked you very much. And she is very possessive about the things she wants." Shinji took Rei's hand and gripped it tightly.

"I will defend myself if the need comes."

Shinji glanced at the screen and saw the security dragging the two females apart. They then heard the door click signaling that it was unlocked. Both took a deep breathe. As the security officer opened the door.

"It's all clear sir. The Major asked two of us to take yours and Ms. Ayanami's place, and she wishes to speak with you both."

Shinji nodded as their two replacements enter. He tightened his grip on Rei's hand and looked at her, "Ready?"

Rei blushed slightly and nodded. With that, they both exited. Misato was sitting in a chair still trying to regain her breath; she smiled when she saw the two exit and holding hands to boot. Asuka was still being restrained by three security personnel. They were succeeding until Asuka saw that Rei was holding Shinji's hand.

"YOU BITCH! LET GO HIM RIGHT NOW! I TOLD YOU HE IS MINE, AND YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM!" Asuka's face was red with rage and she elbowed one of the security in the jaw. When the others went to check on their friend Asuka lunged at Rei, "I'LL KILL YOU RIGHT NOW YOU SLUT!"

Rei was pushed out of the way by Shinji. Seconds later him and Asuka were tumbling to the floor. Shinji hit his head on the way down leaving quite bump. He winced as they hit the ground knocking the breath out of him. Asuka gasped as she saw she had missed her intended target. She went to get up but was stopped as she felt Shinji wrap his arms around her.

"Asuka, you're going to have to learn to accept this. I love Rei."

Tears started to form in Asuka's eyes as she started to struggle against his grip, "No you don't. She tricked you or brainwashed you again or something. You're my Shinji."

Shinji shook his head, "No, I'm not. I care for you that's true. That's why it hurts me that you can't be happy for me. I've found the one person that fully completes me in every way, and she loves me. I'm not yours to have Asuka. I belong to one person and one person alone. And that person is Rei."

Rei blushed at his confession.

Asuka broke down in tears as she shoved her head into Shinji's chest shaking her head, "You can't do this. You can't leave me like my mom did. I can't go through that again."

Shinji hushed her as he started to run his hand through her hair trying to calm her, "Shhh, I'm not leaving you Asuka. I just can't be in a romantic relationship with you. That part is solely for Rei. But that doesn't mean I care for you less."

Rei was starting to get slightly jealous of the contact between Asuka and Shinji. She was about to break them apart when she felt someone grab her arm. She turned and saw Misato who shook her head.

Asuka shook her head again, "I don't want that though. I don't want you friendship. I want you to love and adore me like you used to."

"That can't happen. I'm sorry."

The security finally gathered themselves and collected a now broken Asuka and took her away. Shinji got up and was immediately taken back a few steps as Rei leaped into his arms, "Did you mean it? Are you really mine?"

Shinji blushed and nodded, "If that's what you want."

His answer came in a breath taking kiss. Misato smiled at the two of them. Her plan had worked perfectly. Now all she had to do was wait for them to be married and have a family. Her smile grew, Grandkids.

Epilogue:

---5 years later---

"Kaji? Where are you? You know we have to get you ready for day with Misato." Shinji looked under his sons bed and frowned. No such luck. He sighed. Having kids could be such a hindrance sometimes. He walked back in the hall and heard a few voices from his and Rei's room.

"Did you pack clean clothes?"

"Yes Ma'am."

"You're teddy bear?"

"Uh-huh."

"Did you bring the book for Misato to read to you before you go to bed?"

"Yes mom."

Shinji smiled and peaked in. There sat his 4 year old son on the edge of the bed with his feet kicking as they dangled. Rei was finishing up a little packing of her own. It took a little more time than it usually did. She grunted and bent over.

Kaji jumped off the bed, "Let me help mom." He picked up his mom's bag and started for the door. He opened it to see his dad standing there.

Shinji smiled down at him, "Found you."

Kaji smiled and laughed as he dropped the bag and ran back to his room to hide and continue their game.

Shinji picked up the bag and looked at his wife as she took several deep breathes and held her extended stomach. This would be their second. They were hoping for a girl this time. If it was, they were planning on naming after his mom. She walked up to her taking her other bag and kissing her on the cheek. He heard a knock on the front door.

"Anybody home?"

Shinji leaned out the door seeing the unmistakable purple hair.

Kaji burst out the door of his room and tackled the visitor, "Grandma!"

Misato spun the kid around in the air, "Hey there kiddo. Ready to have some fun while your mom has your new little brother or sister."

Kaji nodded. He looked back at his dad, "Bye dad. Bye mom!"

Misato smiled and opened the door again, "We're off. Call me when the baby is born and let me know if it's a girl or boy."

Shinji smiled at the two, "Be good."

"I will," yelled Kaji.

"I was talking to Misato."

Misato ignored that little comment and left with the energetic 4 year old.

He turned and saw Rei staring at him with a smile on her face.

"What?"

"Nothing," Rei answered. So this is what love is.
