For now enjoy

My eyes kept on closing, and I bobbed my head up and down. Last thing I knew was waking up on a clean bed, with a dark room. I noticed that Aiden was also sleeping besides me. Recollecting the events that happened last, I quickly sat up. The door opened creating a sunrise within the room. I covered my eyes from the swift alteration of light, as my pupils adjusted and looked on at the person who was on the other side of the door. It turned out to be my brother who came inside and turned on the lights. I looked down in disappointment thinking it was my Red Knight.

"You're awake I see," Kira said

I nodded and said, "How long was I asleep?"

"It's been six hours or so, you fainted outside Athrun's room, and you've had a busy day Cagalli, make that stressful as well, your head just couldn't take anymore, so…yeah," Kira said

"And Athrun, has he woken up yet?" I asked hoping in my heart that the answer would be of my desire.

Kira sat at the end of the bed and shook his head, I felt a weird and painful jolt in the pit of my stomach and said, "Is it bad?"

"He fell abruptly into a comma a couple of hours ago, Vera said it was the same drug that Manes used on Jack," Kira said

"How did… that happen, I didn't see him do anything to Athrun… then how?" I asked a bit astonished

"Now he's the only one to tell us that," Kira said, "No we've almost reached Earth, and Mane's body is in the ice room."

I nodded as the flashing face of Manes kept passing in my mind. His icky taste was still in my mouth unfortunately. I let out a breath and brushed my teeth again. I gargled my mouth with mouthwash close to ten times but I still couldn't get that distasteful taste out. I took a breath and came out the washroom and saw that my little baby was still sleeping. He reminded me of how Athrun slept, so calm and in tranquility. I kissed his forehead lovingly and tucked him in the bed and quietly left the room, making sure someone was keeping guard on my child.

I walked through the hallways in solitude, my mind kept on flashing on the events that happened not so long ago. He died so easily, that even I couldn't believe that he died. I shook my head thinking that at least my life was set back on track. Athrun, Aiden and I would once be a family again. The world was safe from any threats of war. I was knocked on to the floor by a force as the intercom said to hold on tight, because there were some unexpected meteors falling around at speed to quick to evade. I held on tight to the railings as the ship shook wildly and all I wanted was to be with Athrun and Aiden. Tears were fillings my eyes in worry of the two people you held half of my heart each.

Who should I go to first?

I clenched my fists and quickly got up to go to Aiden, knowing my promise to Athrun to protect Aiden was important. I managed to get on to my feet and dragged my feet to Aiden's room as quickly as I could I noticed several people inside. Aiden was in the arms of the guard I left and I quickly took him from the guy and held him close. I noticed that Aiden was kind of lost on the situation and kept on looking around in confusions. I sat on the ground and held him tight as the impact and crashes lessened and we were out of danger.

The ship was on red alert, with damage. I got up and ran quickly to Athrun's room and gave myself a sigh of relief seeing that the place was alright. Lacus walked by and I asked her if she could watch Aiden, which she happily did.

I walked into Athrun's room and noticed that Vera was there, with a worried look on his face.

"This is one durable bed," he said, "Didn't move during the meteor shower."

I nodded and said, "How is he?"

"He's physically fine, that's why I don't get why he's not waking up," Vera said, "I gave him the same antidote as Jack, and yet no response."

"Will…he ever…" I said

"I don't know," Vera said, "He could wake at any time he wants."

"What does he want?" I said sitting down in confusion.

"You of all people should know that," he said, "Anyways Ann's ship has reached Orb safety and I have to run some tests on Jack, try getting him awake, before I come back."

"But wait, how can I," I said as he shut the door leaving me. I had a look pure disbelief on my face. How could I wake up Athrun? What did I have? I shrugged my shoulders and sat down with my elbows on the bed and my face leaning on my palms. My eyes were closed and I gradually opened them to see my prince's face…well king's face. He looked very pale and I felt as if I was met with a lifeless body. I grew worried and held his cold hands and felt a pulse, and realized that it was their.

"I miss you," I whispered in the quiet room. Receiving no response, I laid my head on his chest and continued, "When you get up, you better get this horrid taste out of my mouth, or I'll throw up."

I sat up back again and said, "You know, after all this, I want a daughter okay? I mean not immediately, but I want a girl. Wouldn't that be nice? Aiden being an older brother to her, I'm sure he'd love her to piece. You two would become over-protective whenever a boy would come within a meter near her. I can picture us so clearly."

"Hmm," I heard a tiny whisper in the room say. I looked down and shook my head thinking it was just my imagination.

I held his hand once more.

"Get up soon Athrun, or I think I might go mad. Everyone misses you and I really want to say sorry, for being so horrible to you. Thinking that I was about to lose you, really put me through how you must have felt when Aiden was in my womb, and then the crash. I felt so helpless that I couldn't do anything to keep you by my side," I said tear leaking down my face, "I was so scared Athrun. My life froze and I don't want that to ever happen again, and I forced you to experience those moments, those vile feelings. You kept this secret from me and I don't blame you. I've kept so many things from you and like yourself; I figured them out from someone other than you."

I just couldn't face Athrun's face and turned around.

"This was our trust between one another Athrun. Were we that far from each other, because if we are I want you to know, that I don't want it to be like that ever again. I don't want anymore secrets. I don't want to know your problems from someone else. And I know you want the same. I love you Athrun…so much that even saying it isn't enough, to express how much love I for you and gratitude I share, that you are by my side," I said wiping the tears from my eyes, and preventing a sob from escaping, causing me to shake my shoulder in the jerk.

"After this is over I want to start over Athrun, not Cagalli anymore, as Cagalli Zala, as your wife, and the mother of your child, and hopefully children. But for god's sake get up, before I can't see you like this. I'm beginning to blame myself for this, and I know you'd say that it's not my fault…but can your really say that. If I kept my promise to share all my problems with you, maybe you would have trusted me enough to tell me this," I said standing up and leaned against a wall.

"Aiden misses you too," I said whispered, "He needs you…and I need you Athrun, please wake up soon."

I turned and saw his still body and cried and left the room in tears. I couldn't bear seeing him in that state. I passed the cafeteria, where my friends noticed my running form, and got up inquire the problem, but I had locked myself in a room by then, to let out my hidden pain of sadness, and this time Athrun wasn't here to soothe my crying form.

I was there for probably hours, but it seemed like an eternity to me. I was sitting in a corner of the room, my knees pulled to my chest and my head was sideways. I had gotten many "open the door," but I didn't bother answering. I was too lost in my own world. I did hear Aiden's cries and I spoke then to ask then to please watch him, because I couldn't face my baby, thinking how I could have done so much to prevent his father from being in the state, yet because of my stubborn will from the past, I couldn't help Athrun.

We had arrived Orb and I was still in the room as the ship docked. The lights were off, yet the room was too bright in my eyes. I looked at the time and noticed that close to 7 hours had passed and I was beginning to feel monotonous. My eyes like before kept flashing and blinking and the next thing I knew was that I slipped in unconsciousness as the sound of the door opening, filled my ears last.

I was beginning to feel movement in my arms, and I noticed that my hands were clenched so I quickly let lose of the fist, bringing circulation back. My mouth was dry and all I wanted was water.

With my eyes closed I felt around for a water bottle or glass. Finding one I drank the water down greedily and with a click of the glass on the table I laid back down with my eyes closed and let out a huge sigh. I could feel my stomach growl out for food, but I was in no mood.

"Athrun," I whispered, recollecting his pale face.

I was on a bed I knew that so I turned to my side and hit something. I pushed against in with a force and the next thing I knew was that my form was wrapped with two arms.

I let out a sigh and remember the only arms which the same warmth and said, "Even in my dreams, all I can think about is Athrun."

I cuddled closer to the warmth and said, "If only this wasn't a dream."

I heard a chuckle down my ear and said, "This seems so real, I must really be missing Athrun."

"Cagalli," I heard a voice say

"Five more minutes," I said, "I like this dream, go away."

"Cagalli, I kind of can't go away, since your holding on to me," the same voice said

"I can hear Athrun's voice," I said, "I must have gone mad, being away from him for so long."

"Well now I'm here right," he said

"Yeah," I mumbled and kissing his jaw, "Who's here?"

"Me," he said

"I know Athrun, you're here in my dream," I said snuggling in closer.

"Open you eyes," he said

"I don't want to, this is all going to go away," I said grasping him closely

"Trust me Cagalli, open your eyes," he said as I felt a kiss on my head.

I took a breath and did you he said. Slowly and gradually I was met with a pair of familiar eyes. I blinked checked again to reassure myself. I noticed that I was grasping onto the same person in my sleep. I was in such a shock, that when Athrun called my name I jumped off the bed surprise and land on my butt.

I rubbed my eyes and looked up to an empty bed and frowned.

"So it really was a dream," I said

"What dream?" I heard a voice say.

I couldn't help the tears starting to fill my eyes and I quickly pulled my knees and hid my face in relief. I released my tears then and felt arms wrap around me once more.

"How could you do that to me," I said trying not to sob.

"I'm so sorry, Cagalli, I didn't mean to hide this from you. I was just too worried about Aiden, to tell you, plus I didn't want to you to worry," Athrun said

"Worry, what about all the panic and mental ness you gave me when you started coughing out blood," I said in a loud voice facing my tearstained face, to his worried one.

I felt his thumb wipe my tears, and I hugged him quickly and said, "I'm so sorry, for doing so much to you."

"Shh," he said placing a finger on my lips, "I heard enough of your apologises in the room."

I flushed and said, "You heard all that?"

"Yeah," Athrun said, placing a kiss on my temple and turned me around so I could face him, "I met Aiden earlier, he was very worried for some odd reason, and I found out that you locked yourself up. I was still on the bed and tried to get up, but being in bed so long kind of left me paralyzed. I had to wait a couple hours for movement, and then I was able to get to your room. Next thing I knew was that you fell and I brought you on the bed. Honestly Cagalli, you scared the life out of me. I got Vera to check you and he said you were fine, and just tired and overstressed, all you needed was rest. Watching you, I guess I kind of fell asleep as well."

I nodded at what he told me and I said, "So you woke up after I had talked to you."

He shook his head and said, "When you held my hand."

"Oh," I said flushing

I saw him smile, and he held onto me tightly, "You know I still have some wishes of yours I need to fulfill."

My face went cherry, and I couldn't help but say, "What wishes."

He pulled away and said, "This," as I felt soft lips against mine. My eyes were closed and I by instinct wrapped my arms around his neck, as a pair of arms snaked around my waist pressing me closer to the body of my loved one. Joined like a puzzle, our kissed deepened more and I felt bliss spread through my veins once more. I had the virus of love once more.

I pulled away and leaned my head on his shoulder. He pecked my neck and said, "Our daughter might have to wait for a while."

I blushed and said, "Yeah."

"And we start over right now," Athrun said, "I'm Athrun Zala."

I laughed and said, "And I'm Cagalli Zala, your wife."

He chuckled and said, "I love you Cagalli."

"Me too," I said embracing him.

The time ticked away and I said, "At least that taste is gone."

"Taste?" Athrun said

"The ass kissed me Athrun, I almost could have gagged myself," I said, "But now only you rule all my senses."

Athrun laughed and kissed my forehead and said, "Come on, Aiden's waiting for his mother."

He slipped his hand with mine and said, "And we'll also need to get something that stomach of yours."

I giggled and said, "I guess so."

I just couldn't help but feel as if this whole thing was too good to be true. Everything seemed too surreal. I pinched myself and realized that I was in reality. This was all real. Athrun was really awake.

We walked into a room where everyone was waiting patiently for something. Upon looking at us they immediately were relieved and we were together and alright. Aiden was with Kira and he was currently playing with Clare. Aiden noticed my presence and brought out a smile I held him in my arm tightly and said sorry. He sighed and hugged me around my neck.

"Well it's finally nice to see you three back together as a family," Kira said holding Lacus by the waist.

"Let's go home," I said

"For good," Athrun said after as everyone stood up as we all walked out of the ship slowly and embraced the evening rays of sun. I couldn't see a new start of my life, and this time no one was going to take it away.

The car was parked outside and I felt Aiden getting cranky for some odd reason. He kept on shuffling in my arms and said held him in my arms and said, "What's wrong Aiden?"

I saw him let out a breath of frustration and he stuck his hands pointing to be that he wanted to lean on my shoulder. I laughed and he wrapped on arm around my neck and leaned his head on my shoulder. I didn't notice however where his other arm was pointing to.

I slipped into a seat and strapped Aiden onto his seat before that. He pouted and I kissed him on the cheek and smiled at me and sat down carefully, with no fuss.

I strapped my seat belt as I saw Athrun talk with Shinn. I leaned my elbow out the opened window.

I saw a message on a wall…that caught my attention.

It was in a riddle, but once I read the words they were forever stuck in my mind.

"Your next shall be mine"

Now I didn't even know if the message was directed toward me. I looked upon the wall to see that message vanish. My doubts were confirmed…that message was for me.

My next…what was that anyways? And whatever it was who was going to take it.

I jerked as I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked to see Athrun look at me in confusion.

"Something happen?" he asked

"Nothing," I said quickly…then said, "I saw a message on the wall, and I looked again to see it gone."

"Do you think you were imagining?" he asked sitting down in the driver's seat.

"You just woke up and you're driving a car," I said in shock.

"I guess, I mean I don't feel weak, plus Vera said I was fully healed," Athrun said

"Okay," I still unsure, "maybe I was imagining."

"Okay, but I'm here remember," Athrun said

"Yes I know," I said kissing his nose as the engine roared and we headed home, at last.
