Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Post Chaos

Phase 04: What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor?

As soon as they group left the base, they ran into Sai, who had been helping to keep civilians out of the area of the fight. He looked exhausted, and his clothes were torn and bloody. "Um…" Sai said as he realized that Dearka was looking him over. "Look, Sai," Mu said, "You helped us out a lot. Why don't we head back to Dearka's place and change clothes, and then go hit the town." "Yeah. That sounds good," Sai said.

Back at the Yamato's ranch, the party was well underway. Everybody was drinking. Even Lacus, but since she was pregnant, Miriallia had been considerate and bought a few bottles of non-alcoholic wine. "…So, then, he says 'What it is?'. I thought I was going to die laughing!" Murrue was telling about a conversation that she and Mu had had during the war. It had been pretty hilarious. "Are there any other times that you spent with Mu that were funny?" Mir was curious. She knew that Murrue was in love with Mu and wanted to know what else he did that was weird. "Well, there was the time in the desert…"

flashback

it was about 10 PM, but Murrue Ramias couldn't sleep. She had been troubled by what she had witnessed only two days earlier. Images of Kira and Flay locked in the carnal positions of love-making ran through her mind. It had disturbed her. And she wasn't sure what to do. So she got dressed and left her quarters.

"I can't believe this mess!" Petty Chief Murdoch was furious. And with good reason. The cockpit of the Strike was littered with all sorts of junk and garbage. As he threw it out, Flay Alster picked it up and put it in a garbage bag that she was holding. "Ever since that battle against the Tiger earlier, Yamato's been using this as his living quarters."

From a catwalk overhead, Mu La Flaga looked on in disbelief as Styrofoam trays, plastic cups, cutlery and other various objects were thrown from the Strike's cockpit. He sighed and turned to walk away only to find that Murrue Ramias had joined him on the catwalk.

"It's been like this for three days now." Mu looked at her in disbelief. "Huh? Listen, commander, I really don't have a clue what you're talking about." Prior to that battle, Crewman Alster wouldn't even talk to Kira. Now, I think they've even slept together."

Mu was shocked but did his best to hide it. "Well," he said, "They are just kids." The brunette looked down at the floor as they walked towards the bridge of the Archangel. "I know that," she said. "But I see what Kira… I mean… Ensign Yamato does when he's in battle, and I completely forget all about that." She looked up at Mu. "I really need to remember that no matter how good they are in combat, they are still just teenagers. I really should have seen this coming. What do you think I should do about this?"

The blonde veteran looked Murrue up and down, and put his right hand behind his head. "Actually, what I think probably shouldn't be said," he stated as he blushed a little. "Murrue cocked her head a bit and noticed that his eyes had started to wander. "I kind of sensed that from you," she said as she walked back down the hall towards her quarters.

"You've got to be joking," Cagalli said as she stifled a snicker. "Nope. Not a bit," Murrue said as she looked around the room. "And," she admitted, "to tell you the truth, I was thinking the same thing at that time." "Then why didn't you just sleep with Mu then?" Miriallia asked in a curious sort of voice. "Because," Murrue began, "at the time, he was a Mobile Armor pilot, and I had just gotten over my previous boyfriend's death. He was also an MA pilot as well." Mir gasped. "So that's why you wear that rose necklace!" Murrue looked at the floor and back up at the group around her. "Yes. That's why I wear it."

Back at Dearka's house, things were rapidly getting worse. Athrun was running around the room kissing everything, and Mu was wearing a lamp shade. Sai was telling jokes, but was so drunk that he kept falling down in the middle, and Kira and Dearka were sitting on the couch laughing their heads off. "Sho, I shed to huhr, whash you lulking at, baybeh?" Sai was now talking to the wall, and Mu was still wearing the lamp shade.

Kira looked over in Sai's general direction. "Shut she heall oop you shutpeed mowrahn." Dearka looked over at Kira, and began to giggle. Kira looked back at him and said in a not so soft voice, "Whash yer pr…hic…praahhbuhm, sheet fer braynsh?" Just as he finished saying this, Athrun walked on over to Dearka and kissed him. Hard. Sai looked over and saw this, and began to get furious. "Get cher handsh off ah me laydee, mishtuh."

Sai then threw Athrun across the room, and began making out with the blonde coordinator. In his stupor, Dearka seemed to enjoy the kiss from Sai more than he enjoyed the one from Athrun. Little did they know that their wives and girlfriends were all on their way to see what their men were doing.

In the car, Murrue was a little nervous. She had never seen what happens to men when you leave them all alone, so she had reason to be. When Mir announced that they were at her house, they weren't expecting to find the mess that they were about to walk in on, but it would certainly make them go back to the ranch and laugh their head off.

Upon entering, they immediately sensed that something was wrong. And what they saw in the living room would both scar and entertain them for the rest of the night. Sai was a barstool a lap dance, Mu was clutching a garbage can for dear life, Athrun was heard shouting that he would never drink that much again from the bathroom, and Kira and Dearka were asleep amidst puddles of drool. The girls decided that they had better let the boys finish out the night alone, and got back into the SUV and drove back to the ranch.

When they arrived, they went back inside to laugh the rest of the night away. They would never tell what they had seen but forget all of it when they all went to bed that night.

When the Kira and Dearka woke up, they were both in need of some Tylenol, and various other headache medications. So, since they were still feeling terrible, they both went back to sleep. It would be several hours before anybody else in the house would wake up, and they wanted every last hour of sleep that they could get.

Back at the ranch, Miriallia was wide awake, Lacus had woken her up at around 3 AM spilling her guts in the toilet. This was odd, since Cagalli had said that the morning sickness didn't usually hit until nine or ten. But she didn't care. She was at least awake to help her friend out if she needed it, and besides she could giggle a little bit about the fact that once they woke up, they were going to have the entire day to relax until the boys got back.

As Lacus walked out of the bathroom, she knew something was wrong. Lacus was holding on to her abdomen for dear life, and appeared to be in pain. "Lacus," she said, "what's going on?" The pink haired girl looked back at her with a pained expression, coughed twice, and then passed out. Mir panicked for a brief moment, but then regained her composure, and went over to Murrue, who was sleeping with a magazine over her face, and shook her awake. "What is it," the brunette said as she opened her eyes. When she saw Mir's worried face, she opened her eyes and saw what she was so worried about. "Mir," she said as she grabbed the jacket that Mu had left with her, "wake up Cagalli and call the hospital." She then ran out and started the car.

It only took Mir five seconds to wake the blonde up. Then the two of them lifted Lacus into the back seat of the car, since at almost three months, the pink haired girl was quite heavy. "Look, we need to get her to the hospital," Murrue's voice was frantic. "If we don't, she could loose the baby." She said this just as the red and white lights became visible in the rearview mirror.

It only took a few moments to clear up the mess with the officer. He was glad to offer his assistance in getting Lacus to the hospital, so he took the lead, and radioed the hospital dispatch to inform them that he had an emergency situation on his hands and to expect him and a red convertible to pull up in front at any moment.

Once inside the hospital, the doctors went to work immediately to save Lacus and the baby. They were lucky that Yzak had gone to med school after the war had ended and was now a doctor at that very hospital. "Well, this is unique." Yzak had just gone out into the waiting room to inform the parties concerned that the "pink princess" would be alright.

"So what the hell were you guys doing when this all started?" They all jumped when Yzak said that. Miriallia looked over at him. Even though he was the same age as her, his long, silvery hair gave the impression of a man much older. And he had a scar that ran down his face. It started over his left eyebrow, and then stopped halfway down his right cheek. He stood around 5'7", and was wearing his white lab coat over a blue button up shirt, and black pants, with a black tie. "We were all out in the living room, and she was in the bathroom. We were sleeping." Yzak looked back at her and smiled. Miriallia was confused. "What's wrong with her," Murrue asked. Yzak looked around the room and motioned for them all to follow them into his office.

Once inside, he shut the door, turned to face them and said, "nothing is wrong with her. She's just tired. The morning sickness should disappear in about a month. But for now, you just need to let her sleep." Cagalli was relieved to hear this. "You have no idea of how thankful we are to you for this, Yzak." Yzak looked back at the blonde haired female with a questioning look on his face. "What, pray tell, do you mean, Cagalli?" Cagalli looked back at him and said, "You don't really know Kira then, do you? Can you honestly imagine trying to explain to him how his wife had a miscarriage?" the silver haired youth looked back at her and said, "You're right. I honestly can't do it."

He then ushered them out of the office and told them what to do if it ever happened again. He then proceeded to release Lacus to them, and told them all to be careful on the way home. After sending them on their way, he turned to the nurse and said to be expecting complications with Lacus' pregnancy. He then went into his office and closed the door.

To Be Continued…

When parties end and life gets serious, people can get a little crazy. So when normalcy ceases to exist, there exists only chaos. The Terran Protectorate may be on its way out, but for Kira, there are more important things to worry about. How will he cope with the fact that he could loose his unborn child at any minute? Next on Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Post Chaos: Life. Overcome and triumph, Gundam!

A.n.\- Okay. I know that I took pretty much all of the characters OOC, but please deal with that. I tested the whole drunken man thing on my brother, and he thought that it was hilarious. Also, you will notice that I am having a few problems with spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. That is because Microsoft Word is a real P.I.T.A. so this fic is taking a little longer than my Gungrave fic to write. I mean, come on, it thinks that Mu is a misspelling of moo, muse, and a whole host of other words.

Sorry about the rant, but it was necessary to keep me from goin' insane. Thanks for putting up with it. See you next phase! And R and R!

Thanx!
