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
Fate Camiswhil: Let's just say that Cagalli is trying to take Athrun back because she still has feelings for him and she doesn't want him to be unhappy with Meyrin, but she's afraid of what her kids might think of her in the latter when they find out that Athrun (Who they will meet very soon and become acquainted to) is their father.
Riko Chiaki: Haha! It's okay. Everyone gets busy once in a while :)
falconrukichi: Cagalli will be a great mother of two, especially since Athrun is the father :)
ugly Swan: Thanks! That's one of the best complements I have ever received so far here in . It mean a lot to me :)

"Lacus! Cagalli! Is that really you?" Meyrin said as she made her way to the two in front of her. "Oh my God! It is you two!" Then she gave them both a hug.
"Dear Haumea, of all the places for her to be right now, why here?" Cagalli scowled at Meyrin's back for she was the last person she wanted to see right now. "Uh, hey Meyrin. How have you been?"
"Oh, I'm fine." she said as she released them and sat down in between. "After the party, Athrun and I had a super fabulous night! We watched a movie at my place and snuggled a lot."
"Oh my God. Is she trying o make me jealous? Tch… That is so not working. She's have to do better than lie like that." The blonde thought. "You know, Meyrin, you shouldn't really be saying that kind of stuff in a public place. Things might, err, get out of hand. Since Athrun is an important political figure around the world, rumors like that might-"
"But these aren't rumors and I do want people to know." The red head interrupted her. "I mean, we're, like, the most perfect couple ever! Plus, we're already famous, so people would want to know that kind of stuff that happens to us. It just makes us more popular and makes people realize that nothing can break us up." she said bluntly. "Right Lacus?"
Of course with Lacus siding Cagalli and thinking that Meyrin's reasoning was completely pointless, she shook her head. "I would have to disagree with that, Meyrin. People shouldn't know what happens to your personal lives because they're too personal. Although, if you want other people to know, please seek that Athrun approves of this before you do what you will do."
"No! Lacus disagreed with me! My attempts of making Cagalli humiliated in front of her failed! Ugh…" Meyrin thought of something to get them off the topic. She didn't want to be looked down upon on by one of the most important people in the world. "Um… Anyway, how did you guys enjoy the party last night?"
"I heard that you organized it." Lacus said. "You did a pretty good job."
Meyrin smiled to herself proudly.
"But I honestly think it was a little dull, sorry." Lacus added.
Meyrin's jaw fell wide open. "W-What do you mean?"
"Um… It feels bad to say this, but…" Lacus took a breath. (1) "The music sucked, the entertainment was boring, the food tasted like it was just heated by a microwave, and there wasn't really much to do."
Now Meyrin's jaw fell to the floor. Totally.
Cagalli, on the other hand, was trying to hide a laugh. She didn't know Lacus could be this mean. Unless, the things he was saying were true. She found the party nice, actually. Everything was beautiful, so maybe Meyrin had some taste when it came to such decor, but you know the only thing Cagalli didn't like in that party? (2) The red head herself.
"I hope I didn't hurt your feelings." The pinkette apologized. "Did I?"
"N-No!" Meyrin said, flailing her hands in the air as if to act that the truth (not) didn't bother her. "I appreciate your comments. Honestly, I found it dull as well. I must've made a mistake when I hired those people for the party. I never should have trusted them when they said they would make the party lively and fun. I'll make sure they got off their jobs or-"
"There's no need for that, Meyrin!" Lacus sweat dropped. This girl was seriously taking things seriously. "Just make sure you won't make the same mistake again."
Meyrin nodded and stood up. "So anyway, are you girls still up for some more shopping? Do you mind if I join you?" she asked. "Hm, Cagalli?"
"Hell no. I'd rather die." The blonde smiled and forced a fake smile on her face. It looked more like she was irritated or something, but she made sure that Meyrin wouldn't suspect it. "Sure. Like they said 'The more the merrier'. Not!"
Meyrin linked the two girls' arms together with hers and pulled them up doing so. Oh, how Cagalli hated it when she did that. "Shall we?"
oOo
While Alex and Seth were busy playing with toy trucks on the sandbox, the girls were busy chatting on the swing.
"I'm so happy I finally another friend!" Little Yzzie said with a big smile. Since she did have her, err… mother and father's mixed personalities, people really didn't like her that much. Especially those crazy old people who sit on the park bench to feed birds. "So Ally, you live back in Orb?"
Ally nodded.
"Mommy said it was pretty there when she went there for a visit. She went to the beach and went to a lot of tourist spots! It makes me wanna go there, too!"
Kiara giggled. "I've been to Orb before and Daddy and I went to the carnival with Alex and Ally. We had a lot of fun, but I was still sad that we didn't get to hang out much with Aunt Cagalli."
"What's your mommy like, Ally?" Yzzie asked.
"Well," Ally started, "my mommy is busy all the time! She has lots of papers to read and sign. She's like the president of Orb and she needs to make everyone happy and take care of them. My brother and I don't get to be with her a lot, but she still makes sure we're okay and all that." She smiled. "I'm really happy we went here to PLANTS for a vacation. It means that she doesn't have to work and we can be together all the time!"
"It's like my daddy's work, but I think your mommy's is harder." Yzzie said. "What about your daddy?"
Kiara got tense. She, after all, knew about what happened to her Uncle Athrun and Aunt Cagalli since Kira and Lacus explained it to her. Although she was as curious as Yzzie to find out about what Ally feels when someone asks about her father, she knew it wasn't right. So, she kept quiet and waited for her to answer.
"I don't have one."
"What?"
"I don't have one." Ally repeated.
"But how can you not have a daddy?" Yzzie asked. "It's impossible!"
Ally shook her head. "Mommy says the he left when we were born because he needed to do something; something important. But that doesn't mean that he left us for good!" Ally smiled. "Now that you mention it, mommy did say that our daddy lives here in PLANTS. Hm…" And that got her thinking. "Oh my God, my daddy lives in PLANTS!"
Meanwhile, with the boys…
(3) "So dude, what do you think of the war that happened a few years ago?" Seth suddenly asked and stopped playing with the toy truck on his hands.
"I don't know. They fought, people died; maybe it was all just a misunderstanding. Also, a lot of bad things happened there." Alex shrugged. "But mommy said good thing happened, too. Like some people found their loved ones alive and others were still safe. It was simply just a battle between Naturals and Coordinators."
"What are you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are you a Natural or a Coordinator?"
Alex honestly didn't know the answer to that question. What was he? And like his sister, that got him thinking. "I don't really know…"
"Seth! Yzzie! It's time to go home!" Shiho, their mother, called after them.
Then, the kids went to where the adults were.
"Aww, I'm gonna miss you both!" Yzzie said, hugging Kiara and Ally. The two hugged her back.
"Mommy, can we please play with them tomorrow? Please?" Seth begged. He finally had a boy to play with, aside from his classmates, and he besides, he thought Alex was a pretty cool guy. He already marked him on the top of his 'Cool Guy List'.
"Alright." Shiho nodded. "But since mommy has an appointment tomorrow, Daddy will watch you."
"I'll what?" Yzak's eyes widened by his wife's statement. "I can't watch them, I have work to do!"
"Oh please, Yzak, all you have to do is finish that report about the latest model of that mobile suit. And they're just kids."
"That's exactly the problem! They are kids!"
"Please Daddy?" Yzzie was starting to tear up and things weren't gonna go good when she did. Just imagine Yzak when he sees Athrun. Yeah, it goes bad just like that.
Yzak sighed n defeat, not wanting to argue with his wife later or catch his daughter make a scene in public. "Fine." Then, he turned to Kira. "Be at our house tomorrow. One o'clock. Don't be late, Yamato." And with that, he picked little Yzzie up in his arms and walked to their car.
"Bye Ally! Bye Alex!" The little platinum blonde waved good bye.
Shiho, on the on the hand, kissed Kiara, Alex, and Ally good bye before walking to their car hand in hand with Seth. "We'll see you tomorrow, then."
"So, how was your day?" Kira asked the children as they stepped inside the car, on their way to pick up Lacus and Cagalli at the mall.
"I had fun!" Ally said. "Kiara and Yzzie are fun to play with."
Kira chuckled. "What about you, Alex? Was Seth okay?"
Alex shrugged. "He's pretty cool."
oOo
"Ugh." Cagalli groaned as she plopped down on the white sofa on the Yamato Household's living room. Oh, how soft that white chair was. "Thank God that was all over."
"Did you have fun shopping, Mommy?" Ally asked her mom as she sat beside her.
"It was very tiring, honey." Cagalli gave her daughter a kiss and said, "Alright, time to clean up. After that we can eat dinner, okay?"
Ally nodded and ran upstairs to the bathroom with Kiara. (A/N: They're both girls and they're just kids. Got a problem with that?) Soon followed by Alex.
"So, how was it?" Kira asked, sitting beside her sister where Ally was sitting before.
"Hell."
"What do you mean?"
"We met Meyrin there." Lacus said and sighed. "She started hanging out with us and- well… Things started to get a bit disturbing."
Kira cocked an eyebrow at his wife, who was sitting across from them. "How disturbing?"
"She starts saying how Athrun looks so hot half naked." Cagalli rolled her eyes. "And how his muscular arms were so comfortable to touch or lay down on. Tch… Yeah right! Like, I haven't felt that way before! She was seriously trying to make me feel all jealous and stuff."
"I tried cooling Cagalli down, but it was no use. She made a scene at the mall in front of everybody." Lacus said.
"What did you do, Cagalli?" Kira asked, worried about the answer his twin was going to say. If it was that embarrassing, it would really ruin her image.
Cagalli shrugged. "I intentionally stuck my foot up for her to fall and stumble on the ground, but before she did, she hit many people and fell on many stalls" She smirked. "Then, she fell to the ground."
"Cagalli!" Kira exclaimed.
"It's not like anyone saw, Kira." Cagalli scoffed and rolled her eyes. "They thought it was an accident since we were near the toy store and one of those remote control cars went wild."
Kira sighed in relief, a hand on his chest. "But anyway, was the mission successful? Did you get a nice dress to wear for your date?"
"It's not a date!" Cagalli exclaimed. "And how did you know about that?"
(4) "I don't keep secrets from my husband." Lacus said with a wink.
Cagalli groaned in disgust. She hated it when people went mushy in front of her. She didn't know if it was just really disturbing to see or jealousy. Maybe both (?).
"Well?"
"We did, but I don't like it." Cagalli grunted. She took the dress out of the paper bag. "Of course, Lacus picked it." It was a green strapless dress that would reach Cagalli's knees paired with a white belt in her waist and white heels. Heels.
"It… looks nice." Kira started to shake nervously and sweat. The two girls looked at him curiously. What was wrong with him? And after mere seconds of that, he couldn't take it anymore. :Oh, who am I kidding? Isn't that dress too revealing?"
"Yes!" Cagalli pumped her fist in the air. "My brother disapproves. Time to change what I'm gonna wear. In your face, Lacus!"
"Kira!" Lacus gasped. "Cagalli needs to look good for Athrun. And she's gonna look good in these clothes!"
"But Lacus!" Kira's voice had a hint of protest in them. "What about all those perverted guy or those sneaky old men?"
Lacus rolled her eyes and gave her husband a quick kiss on his cheek. "Calm down, Kira. You're exaggerating."
"But-"
"Good night!" And with that, his wife walked upstairs to their room.
Kira sighed in defeat and looked at Cagalli. "Just promise me you'll hold on to Athrun tight so no one will pull your dress."
"Kira!"
And there came a smack on the brunette's head.
(1) Yes. Lacus is that mean :D
(2) Yeah, well, who doesn't hate Meyrin (Right NOW)?
(3) For kids, they like to talk about serious matters already XD
(4) Now, where do you think I got that? ;)
The next chapter will be about AsuCaga's date (Well, most of it. I think) and you can tell me what you what to happen. Please make it acceptable :D
Please Review ^^
