Sandyx5 here :)
Hey guys :) This is a new fic I'm working on and I hope you like it :D Other pairings might occur, so don't expect it to be all PROBLEMS and SADNESS. Love will find a way and make us all squeal VERY VERY SOON :D
falconrukichi: Thanks you for loving this story :) And yes, I want to kill Meyrin, too :D
AsuCaga4ever: Yes. Meyrin is. Well, she is in this story, but like you and many others, I don't like Meyrin that much. Mainly because she tried to steal Athrun from Cagalli.
Fate Camiswhil: I used your idea :D Thanks! And look for it! Haha! XD
Cuteshe: The answer to your question is here in this chapter :D
Special Thanks To:

Just Another Day
"How is Ally, by the way?"
"She's still feeling a little dizzy, but I told her to rest. I tucked her to bed!"
"That's good, Alex. You're doing a good job being the man of the house."
A chuckle was heard. "Thanks. Bye."
"Bye, sweetie." And with that, Cagalli hanged up and sighed. Apparently, her daughter ate something weird and made her sick before they left the house and she didn't like it. Of all the things that could happen to her children, Cagalli hated it most when they were sick or hurt. Well, what kind of mother would want that to happen to their child?
She turned around on to find the bluenette she danced with a while ago. "Athrun? What are you doing here?" she asked, surprised for she was not expecting anyone, especially him, to be here.
"I- uh… I was looking for you."
Cagalli tried hard not to blush. He just looked so cute when he said that! (A/N: LOL So nakaka kilig XD Kawaii :D). "And why is that?"
"W-Well, I was w-wondering if you would like to g-go with d-dinner with me tomorrow?" he asked. "My God, Athrun! Why are you stuttering like that? It's just Cagalli!" he thought. Then he realized it wasn't just 'Cagalli'. It was Cagalli, the leader of Orb, his best friend's sister, his ex-girlfriend/lover.
"What are you going to say Cagalli? Yes or No? Hm…" Then she realized that if she rejected this offer, this out of the blue offer, Lacus would probably flip and scold her for doing so! "S-Sure Athrun." Then she thought of Alex and Ally. "But, um, I don't tomorrow is a good time. What about this Saturday instead?"
"Sure." Athrun smiled, took a step closer to her, grabbed her hand, and kissed it. "I'll see you when I see you."
She smiled back at him. "Same here."
oOo
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Cagalli groaned to that annoying sound of knocking. What time was it? 8:30? It was still too early and she was still too tired to get up. Last night was a bomb, but it was really tiring.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Who was at her door? Was it a maid or a butler bringing her breakfast in bed? No thanks. She would go down later and have brunch or something.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"Go away." she groaned and stuffed her head on a pillow.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"I said 'Go away!" This time she said it louder and it practically sounded like a growl more than a groan.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
She got up from bed, marched her way to the door, and banged it open. "What the hell do you want?"
"C-Cagalli! It's me, Lacus." The pinkette said, trying to calm the blonde down.
"Lacus? Oh my God, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to-"
She giggled. "It's okay, Cagalli. May I come in?"
The blonde nodded and shut the door when both of them were inside. She sat down on the chair bear her bed. "What's up, Lacus?"
"We're going shopping!"
Did she just hear what she thinks she heard? "Repeat that?"
Lacus sighed. "I said 'We're going shopping!"
Yeah. That's what she said.
"You mean to say that you came all the way up here to wake me up from my peaceful slumber just to tell me we're going shopping?"
Lacus nodded.
"Okay." Cagalli got up from her seat and lay on her bed, her back facing the world. "Yeah, I think I'll go back to that 'peaceful slumber' I was talking about."
Lacus groaned as she rolled her eyes. "Come 'on Cagalli! Have you seen you clothes?"
The blonde's head shot up and turned to face the pinkette. "Excuse me! I'll have you know that what I'm wearing is perfectly fine!" She looked at her clothes. She was wearing a baggy T-shirt with the color of gray and white shorts that went an inch above her knees. Okay, so when you try to picture it, she looked more like a boy than a girl. Well, she's always been mistaken to be a boy, but hey! This look was adding it up. "W-Well…"
"See?" Lacus stood up and pulled her up from the bed. "Plus, you need new clothes for your date this Saturday night."
"I have a date?"
"Oh, don't act dumb, Cagalli! Don't you think I know about your plans with Athrun? Dinner?"
Oh, right. He asked her to have dinner with him. As a friend and to catch up more. "Yeah, but I already have clothes for that."
"Please Cagalli. I know Athrun and he's probably gonna take you somewhere fancy, so we better suit you up into something elegant."
"What I wore last night was fine!"
"He already saw that."
"You can lend me clothes."
(1) "But those are mine. I don't share clothes."
"But I hate going shopping!"
"Too bad you are!"
"Whoa! Whoa! What's with all the ruckus?" Kira opened the door and leaned on its frame. "What's going on in here?"
"Your wife woke me up this morning just to tell me we're going shopping!" Cagalli exclaimed.
"But I thought you hated shopping?" The brunette asked.
"I know!"
"Not helping, Kira." Lacus glared at him and she was scary when she glared. She only does this sometimes and it just scares the crap out of Kira.
"I-I'll drive you both to the mall."
"Kira!" He could see the look on his twin's face: Anger. But hey! Who was he going to side with? Both girls can be scary.
He sighed and put a hand on her sister's shoulder. "I thought you've already agreed to the plan? And this can be a great opportunity for you and Lacus to catch up and talk about, err… more girl stuff."
Cagalli sighed, too. "But what about Alex and Ally?"
"After I take you both to the mall, I'm taking them to the park to have a play date with little Yzzie and (2) Seth. Kiara promised to go play with them today and it'll be nice if Alex and Ally meet new friends." Kira explained. "Plus, this is your day off. Relax. Have fun. Enjoy the air of PLANTS for crying out loud!"
"Ugh. Fine." Cagalli grunted. "Now get out. I'll be ready in ten minutes."
"Yay! Thanks Kira." Lacus skipped to her husband's side and gave a small peck on his cheek.
oOo
(3) "Clothes?"
"Check."
"Shoes?"
"Check."
"Teeth?"
"Check."
"Hair?"
"Check."
"Mom!" Alex whined. "We're just going to the park. You don't have to do this every time we go somewhere."
She hated to admit it, but it was true. Well, maybe Cagalli just loved them too much.
"Yeah, Aunt Cagalli. And it's just nearby, so there's nothing to worry about." Kiara added.
"Oh, alright." The overreacting mother then gave her two babies each a kiss on their foreheads. "Just be careful, okay? Especially you, Ally. Don't play that much, because you might get tired and be sick again."
"Yes Mommy." The twins said in unison and gave their mom a hug.
"Be careful as well, Kiara." Lacus kissed her daughter's cheek and gave her a hug.
"I will, Mommy."
"Alright," Kira said, helping the children back inside the car and closed their door. "I'll pick you both up by five. Have fun!" And with that, he gave her wife a peck on the cheek, started the car, and drove of to the park where they were supposed to have a rendezvous.
Cagalli sighed. "So Lacus, where off to first?"
Lacus smirked. "Shoes."
"NOOO!"
oOo
"You're late, Yamato." Yzak said as Kira, Kiara, and two children he was unfamiliar of was walking towards his family. They were near the swing. "Who are they?" he asked, pointing his index finger at the twins.
Kira glanced at Shiho, the platinum blonde's wife, and nodded at her. "It's time, I guess."
"What do you mean? What are the two of you talking about?" Yzak queried them, confused of the situation. Kira and his wife were hiding something from him and he could sense that it was serious.
"Kids, why don't you go play near the fountain for a while? Daddy, Uncle Kira, and I will just chat for a bit." Shiho said, shooing the kids away.
The three of them sat at the bench nearby and watched the children play.
"Well? What are you two hiding from me?" Yzak asked.
Kira sighed and pointed at the children. "You see those two kids over there?" he said, referring to Alex and Ally.
"Yeah. So? What about them?"
Kira sighed, again. "Those are Athrun and Cagalli's, err… kids."
"What?" And just like that, Yzak fell to the ground and stared wide eyed at the two brunettes. "W-What the hell are you talking about?"
Shiho sighed as well and looked down at him. "It's true."
"But- how?"
"It was before Athrun left Orb. Something… Something happened between them. Trust me, I was shocked, too, when I found out about it. I never really expected that to happen." Kira explained.
"Athrun doesn't know yet, so don't tell him." Shiho added. "Cagalli will tell her herself and we're helping her. It's actually the reason why she came here to PLANTS."
"She does realize that bastard is engaged, right?" Yzak said, getting up and dusting off his pants.
Shiho sighed, yet again. "That's the problem."
"Let me get this straight." Yzak started. "You mean to tell me that you've been keeping this secret from me for- I don't know, five years?"
The two brunettes nodded.
"And that Athrun got Cagalli pregnant before he left Orb not knowing about it?"
The two brunette's nodded.
"And that Dearka knows about this as well and I'm the only one who doesn't?"
The two brunette's nodded.
"Bloody hell!" Yzak exclaimed, causing people to get his attention.
"Well, Dearka doesn't know the whole story, but don't worry. It's not only you who doesn't know about it. We just told this to the people we were close to and trusted." Kira said. "And pipe it down! There are a lot of kids in this place."
"Oh, so you're saying that you don't trust me and we're not close?" Yzak gave them glare. He was truly upset of what he had realized, but then again, knowing him…
"It's not like that! I-It was my fault…" Shiho said, looking down. "I wanted to tell you, and Kira and the others gave me permission to, but… (4) I was just worried that you might kill Athrun. Like, literally."
"Oh, and you bet I will!" Yzak said, fuming.
"Calm down!" Shiho said, trying to hold him back. "We're just here to help, but it's their problem, not ours."
Yzak sighed in defeat and sat back down with his wife. "Fine. I won't kill him yet, but if he seriously doesn't fix this-"
Kira chuckled. "I'm giving you every right to. I'll even join you while you're at it, in fact."
oOo
"What's your name?" Yzzie, the little girl about three years old with the platinum blonde hair and amethyst eyes, said, pointing and index finger at the twins as they were playing at the fountain.
"Yzzie, Seth," Kiara started. "I'd like you both to meet Alex and Ally. They're my cousin from Daddy's sister, Aunt Cagalli."
"You mean the leader of Orb?" Seth, the boy who looked like the same age as the three of them with brown hair and blue eyes, asked, his arms crossed. He was also Yzzie's big brother.
"Yup!"
"Finally! A guy to play with." Seth gave Alex a high five and went off with him to the slide, leaving the three girls behind.
"Seth looks like Aunt Shiho." Ally said.
Yzzie giggled. "Yeah, but he has Daddy's personality!"
"Yzzie, I don't know your Daddy yet." Ally said.
"I'll introduce you to him later. Right now, let's have fun!" Kiara said and splashed some water on the two girls' faces. Then, the water war began.
oOo
"Lacus," Cagalli panted. "can we please sit down now or go home? We've bought so much already!" She lifted her arms which consisted of about twenty paper bags and a few boxes. They've already went through the Shoe section, dressed, tops, jeans, shorts, but now they were headed to the underwear section. Eww…
Lacus giggled. "Nonsense! We're not even half way through this experience! And besides, you're fun to be with, Cagalli." The pinkette carried about ten paper bags much bigger than what the blonde was carrying, but it was like nothing happened. She was perfectly still in posture, unlike the girl beside her.
"Please? My feet hurt so bad, they're probably throbbing by now."
"Fine. But only for ten minutes."
Cagalli sat at the nearest bench and dropped everything on the floor. Lacus went to sit beside her. "We should really get these in the car if we should continue."
"Well. Well. Well. If it isn't Lacus and Cagalli."
The two girls turned around, to see who's voice that belonged to, only to be greeted be a bear hug from a certain red head. Well, who else? "Meyrin?"
"Hey!"
(1) Yeah, so Lacus just showed her selfish side. LOL That was just SO random :D
(2) Oh, I forgot to tell you all that Yzak and Shiho have another child and his name is Seth. He's just about Kiara, Alex, and Ally's age and he's Yzzie's older brother.
(3) LOL I got that idea from koichii's 'Do I Really Know You At All?' when Cagalli was checking on her son. Mother's love, I guess ^^
(4) Okay, so I may have been exaggerating a bit with the description there, but seriously, you don't know what Yzak might do :D
Sadly, I'll leave it to that. Cliffhanger! (I think) Please Review ^^
Oh, and sorry for the late update, again T_T UGH I think you all understand what school can do to you, right? It sucks -.-
