You and Me
Of SeriousTalks and Childish Games

The day started with the morning sun shining with some clouds around it, the cool breeze, and the fresh aroma of green. Yup, this was going to be the start of a beautiful day.

As the three adults were having breakfast at the gazebo, the children went out to play in front of them. The garden was pretty big, meaning that the kids had lots of space to play on. Kiara, Alex, Ally were currently playing the typical game kids would play: Hide and Seek.

"Three. Two. One. Ready or not, here I come!" And Ally started looking for both her playmates. Alex was hiding under a bush this time and Kiara... Well, let's just say she's somewhere up there. What? It was her house. She knew the best hiding places around. "I found you!" She said, pulling her brother out of his hiding spot.

"Come on!" He said, looking aound in different directions. "Let's start looking for Kiara." And they did.

Cagalli smiled at the sight. She was happy that her two little angels finaly had someone else to play with other than themselves. She took a sip of her coffee and said, "It looks like they're having a lot of fun."

"Well, it's been a long time since they've last seen each other." Kira said. "I'm sorry again that we couldn't visit you in Orb. You know the drill."

"Same goes for me." Cagalli replied and then started to chuckle. She knew where Kiara was, and it was really hard to look for her. "You know, your daughter is really good at this game."

"I remember when she played it with Kira that one time." Lacus started to giggle as she remembered the memory. "He could not find her for over an hour. And she was just hiding under the kitchen counter!"

"Well Lacus, no one could've suspected anyone to be hiding there." He frowned. "She just came out when she said she was tired of playing. Seriously, she's good at hiding. And the house was just new then!"

Cagalli started laughing t her brother. "Wow Kira. You made your daughter wait for you under a kitchen counter for an hour. And you didn't even find her! She gave up on you!" She started to laugh even harder.

"Kira cheated, actually." Lacus said, giving her husband a look. "He gave up after about ten minutes of looking for her. So he sat on the couch and suddenly fell asleep."

"I was tired!" Kira whined. "I was helping unpack the stuff, you know."

"Yeah. Whatever Kira." Cagalli waved him off. "Hm, I wish we could have fun like them. It's been a while since all of us hung out, too."

Lacus snapped her fingers. She had an idea. "I know! Why don't we have a girls' day out?"

"Now that you've mentioned it," Cagalli put a finger on her chin. "it's more fun when it's just us girls. No boys for the win!" (A/N: LOL Cagalli is such a kid. Just like her brother! XD) She then turned to the pinkette. "But plase don't call it that, Lacus."

Kira crossed his arms. "Oh, so what am I gonna do all day, then? Sit here and do nothing?"

His twin smirked. "You can watch the kids."

Her twin's eyebrows furrowed. "That's not fun at all."

"Then play with them." Cagalli said. "Or go over some files you need to work on."

"But it's not fair!" Kira whined. (A/N: See? A child XD) "You girls get to have fun while I'm stuck here either watching over the kids or working?"

"It's not that bad, Kira." Lacus stood up and made her way inside to call the girls. "At least you'll spend some quality time with them, but if you wat to join us do some girly stuff, you're free to come."

"Hmph!" And he looked away from his sister. "Fine. You guys go have your girls' day out, but don't blame me if you're not having fun just because I'm not there."

Cagalli put her tongue out playfully. "You wish."

Meanwhile, with the kids, Alex and Ally still couldn't find their cousin again, so they decided to give up. "Alright Kiara!" Ally called. "We give up. Come out, come out, wherever you are!"

Alex suddenly felt someone tap him on is back. He jumped, surprised, and turned around oly to see that his cousin was laughing at him. "Where did you come from?"

The little pinkette pointed her index finger up. "The trees. You guys were so busy looking for me under things, you didn't look up!"

"Don't you think that's a bit unfair, Kiara?" Ally pouted.

Kiara patted her head and winked. "Not in my house."

"Kiara! Alex! Ally!" Lacus called from the gazebo. "Come here for a while please." And the three kids did as they were told. "Aunt Cagalli and I are going out with our friends for the day, so you will be staying here with Daddy, your Uncle Yzak, Dearka, Shinn, and Seth, Yzzie, and Liana."

"Who's Uncle Shinn Liana?" Ally asked. She and her brother didn't know who that person was yet.

"You will meet them when they get here." Lacus said. "Now go clean up before the guests arrive. You would not want them to see you dirty, don't you?"

"No Mommy." Kiara said and gave her Mom a kiss. "Come on, Ally! Let's ask Nanny Lala to prepare a bubble bath for us." And the two little girls left.

"Hmph!" Alex crossed his arms and turned to look away from the adults. "Girls. Leaving me all alone like that." And he ran off to do his own little thing.

Lacus giggled.

Cagalli chuckled. "Now we know who he gets that from." She said, referring to a certain someone.

"Hmph!"

oOo

DING DONG

"I'll get it!" Kiara, wearing a purple sundress with yellow flowers, ran to the door and opened it, only to see that the guests they've been waiting for have arrived. "Hello everyone!"

"Hey there, Squirt." Dearka carried the little Lacus in his arms. "Where's Daddy and Mommy?"

She giggled. "Over there in the living room. They're waiting for you, actually."

The guests walked in and made their way to the living room. There they saw the three sitting on the couch, talking about something. "Hey guys!" Dearka called. "What's up?"

"Hello everyone." Lacus stood up and gave everyone a welcoming smile. "It has been a while, has it not?"

Miriallia gave the pinkette a hug. "I missed you, too, Lacus, Kira." And then she turned to the blonde beside her, who was still enjoying the comfort of her seat. "And you, too, Cagalli."

She stood up and hugged the auburn haired girl. "Same to you, Miriallia."

Dearka put the little girl down and opened his arms out, pouting "No hug for me, princess?"

Cagalli hugged him, too, but she squeezed tight, making it hard for him to breathe. "Stop calling me that!"

When they broke the hug, the tanned man gasped for air. "Same old Cagalli."

"Well. Well. Well. I guess it has been a while, hasn't it?" A voice said from behind the group. He walked passed them and Cagalli saw a familiar face. It was no other than the man named: Shinn Asuka. "How've you been, Attha?"

Cagalli turned to look at the man's crimson colored eyes and crossed her arms. "Fine. And you, Asuka?"

He nodded. "Same here." A few more seconds passed before the two suddenly hugged each other.

Everyone was a bit shocked at the scene. I mean, first they both had a grudge on each other because of what happened between them in the war and now they're suddenly hugging like nothing happened.

"Hold it!" Dearka suddenly said. "I thought you two hated each other?"

"Time passes, Dearka." Cagalli said. "You see, Shinn and I made up ever since we coincidentally met each other back in Orb. We cleared things out."

"But she's still an aroggant drama queen." Shinn suddenly said.

"And he's still a brat." Cagalli added. Then , she turned to look at the magenta haired girl beside him and smiled. "Good to see you again, Luna."

"Good to see you too, Lady Cagalli." She replied, smiling back and hugged her. "I'd like you to meet my daughter Liana."

A little kid behind Lunamaria's knees suddenly came out and bowed down. "H-Hello. I'm Liana Rose Asuka." Liana had black hair, which was tied up in two pigtails, like her Dad and amethyst eyes like her Mom. She was wearing a yellow dress with white leggings and was holding a doll who wore the excact same dress as her.

Cagalli kneeled to down to the little girl's height. "Hello there, Liana. It's nice to finally meet you. I'm-"

"You're Cagalli Yula Attha! The leader of Orb!" The little girl cut the blonde off and hugged her. "Thank you for restoring peace to Daddy's hometown."

Cagalli gave the little girl a peck on the cheek. "You're welcome."

Shinn grunted. "Unfortunately, Cagalli's her idol. She thinks she's a war hero."

"We're all war heroes, Shinn." Cagalli sighed and stood up. "Anyone else I need to meet?"

Two heads popped out of Shiho's back. "Seth, Yzzie, introduce yourselves to your Aunt Cagalli."

A platinum blonde haired girl with amethyst walked up, smiling. "Hello! I'm Yzzaline Joule, but you can call me Yzzie."

"And I'm Seth Zacharry Joule." A boy with brown hair and azure eyes said with his arms crossed.

Cagali smirked. "Well I guess someone inherited a little something from someone."

The room erupted with laughter.

A vain popped out of Yzak's forehead. "And what's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing. Nothing." Cagalli decided to brush it off. "Anyway, I guess it's time you met my kids. Alex! Ally! Come down now. The guests are here."

The twins came down wearing matching sailor outifts, only Ally was wearing a skirt and Alex wore shorts and a hat. They both went to their Mom and hugged her knees.

"Hello everyone!" Ally said. "I'm Ally Lianne Attha and this is my brother Alex Daniel Attha."

Everyone 'Aww-ed', except for Yzak and Shinn.

"Alex, Ally, meet you're Uncle Dearka, Auntie Mirialla, Uncle Shinn, and Auntie Lunamaria." Cagalli said, pointing whoever who was.

Ally stepped forward and smiled, but was looking down 'cause she was shy. "I-It's nice to meet you all."

"So cute!" Lunamaria squealed as she pinched both the twins' cheeks.

"Wow. They do look lot like their father." Shinn thought as he kneeled to the twins' level and muffled their hair. "Would you look at that. Looks like we've missed a lot, huh?" Ten, he realized something when he look at Ally. "Dear Haumea, she looks excatly like Athrun!"

"Alex, Ally, meet their daughter." Cagalli said when she let go of the girl.

"H-Hi." Liana said while looking down. She was shy. "I'm Liana Rose Asuka. I-It's nice to met y-"

"Yay! A new playmate!" Ally said as she cut her off with a hug. "We have a new playmate, Kiara!" (A/N: That moment whn kids get too excited over everything).

Kiara let out a giggle along with the other girl that was trapped in a hug.

"Hey. Hey. Hey. Now don't forget about us." Dearka carried the two in his arms and thought, "Well look what we have here. Two photocopies of Zala." He showed them a big grin. "I guess our (1) baby's gonna have more playmtes than we imagined, huh Milly?"

Miriallia giggled, patting Alex's head. "I guess so, too."

"Does that mean you're gonna give us gifts and presents on holidays and celebrate it with us and have lots of fun?" Ally asked, obviously with a hint of excitement in her voice as she started jumping on her Uncle Dearka's arm.

The couple chuckled and nodded. "Of course."

"Aunt Milly, Aunt Lunamaria, does that mean you get to give us presents and stuff now?" Ally asked.

Miriallia smiled. "Of course, darling!"

"Speaking of presents, I have a little something for the both of you." Shiho said and took out two necklaces from her pocket. "I thought that maybe you two wanted a little souvenir from PLANTS before you go back to Orb."

"Thanks Aunt Shiho!" The twins said in unison.

"Mommy, can we go play now?" Little Yzzie asked, pulling the hem of her Mom's shirt.

"Okay." Shiho kissed her kids' foreheads and let them off. "Have fun! We'll be back here this afternoon."

"Come 'on, Yzzie and Liana! I wanna show you the new doll house Mommy and Daddy bought me!" Kiara said, pulling the two girls up to her room.

"Daddy, can we stay down here with you guys?" Seth asked. "I don't wanna go up there and play dolly."

"Just don't be much of a problem. Your Uncle Kira, Dearka, Shinn, and I need to discuss something very important." Yzak said.

Kira cocked an eyebrow at the platinum blonde. "We do?"

"Well, we should be going now. Bye boys!" And with that, the girls left the house and went on their way with Shiho driving, Miriallia on the passenger seat, and Lacus, Lunamaria, and Cagalli on the back, leaving the four men behind with the house and the kids. Yup, this was going to be one hell of a day.

"Come 'on, Seth. I wanna show you something at the garden." And the young lads left.

"We're gonna talk about something?" Kira sat on the couch and put his (A/N: I hope you know this certain gesture I'm trying to display) right foot on his knee. "Does it involve work?"

Dearka shook his head. "Not quite. It's actually about the thing about Athrun and Cagalli, if you don't mind explaining."

"We have limited information about this and we want answers." Yzak said bluntly. "It's either you tell us now or we stay clueless about it forever."

Kira sighed. "The whole story?" The three nodded and sat down across from him. He sighed again and explained from the very beginning. How Athrun left Cagalli that night, how she only told him and Lacus the month before she was about to give birth, how she lived with telling the twins that their father was just away for a while and that he would come back soon, and up to now wherein she was trying so hard to tell the truth about what they've made.

"Wait, but that makes no sense." Dearka said with a serious look on his face. "She knows that Athrun's engaged, right?"

The brunette nodded.

"Then why is she even continuing this?" Shinn asked.

"Like it or not, she has to tell him. For the sake of Alex and Ally." Kira said. "But she has to tell him really soon."

"Why?"

"In just two months Athrun will be married to Meyrin." Kira sighed, massaging his temples. "Making everything more complicated than it already seems."

"Has she thought about how she's going to tell him?" Yzak asked.

Kira shook his head. "We're going to leave that to her. They're going to have to… agree with something in the end of that. Then, we'll have our answers."

"God, I don't even know why he proposed to Meyrin!" Dearka groaned. "I mean, sure she's hot and everything, but what the hell did he see in her? All she's ever done was give him trouble and more trouble."

"There may be a possibility that he was depressed." Yzak stated. "Your sister was someone very important to him and losing her was just something he can't get over, I think. I observed that in his first few days on being in duty. He was always in deep thought. Maybe it was her."

"No doubt about it." Dearka sighed. "I guess all we'll have to do now is wait for what's gonna happen."

"Hopefully, everything will turn out as planned." Kira said in a worry filled voice.

"God, that bastard better fix this mess!" Yzak exclaimed, slamming his hands down the table.

oOo

"Achoo!" Athrun sneezed.

(2) "Is something wrong, Honey? Are you sick?" Meyrin asked, checking to see if her fiancé was alright.

"I'm fine, Meyrin." Athrun said, trying to push her away.

The magenta haired girl giggled. "Maybe someone was talking about you."

oOo

Upstairs, the four girls were playing with that doll house Kiara was talking about, complete with everything someone needed in their home. A living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom, a husband and wife with their child, and even a dog!

Ally played the role of the father, Kiara the mother, Liana the child, and Yzzie the dog. The four were having so much fun, portraying their 'so called' dream family life.

"Daddy! Mommy! I'm home!" Liana made her doll go to the living room only to be greeted by the dog and be kissed by her mother.

"Arf!" said Yzzie.

"How was school?" Ally asked, making her doll look up from the newspaper he was reading to greet her daughter (Liana's doll).

"It was fine, Daddy! We had so much fun." Yzzie answered. "We drew a lot of stuff and colored it!"

"That's nice, sweetie."

"Daddy, can we go to the park with Sparky (A/N: Sparky's the dog. Well, too bad. I couldn't think of a better name (again) :P)?"

"Of course, sweetie!"

"YAY!" Liana made her doll jump. "I love you, Daddy! We should always hang out like this. Going to the park and buying ice cream- maybe we should take Mommy, too! We're gonna eat pizza and feed ducks and- Ally, why are you crying?" Liana said as she put her doll down and looked at the bluenette, whose hands were covering her face.

"Ally, what's wrong?" Kiara asked with a worried face. "Is everything alright?"

Ally shook her head as she wiped all her tears away. "Our family here looks so happy." She said, talking about the dolls they were playing with. "They have lots of fun because they're complete, like your guys' family."

The pinkette hugged her cousin. "It's okay, Ally. We're here for you." Kiara understood what she meant. She knew her story, anyway.

On the other hand, Liana and Yzzie didn't understand what they were talking about, but hugged their friend as well.

Then, something came to Yzzie in mind. "That reminds me, I never met your Daddy, Ally. Where is he?"

Kiara's eyes widened for a second there, until she heard what Ally had to say. She never expected her to answer, of course.

"Mommy says that Daddy left for a while, but he'll come back soon. And I know it." She smiled. "She also said that my Daddy was here in PLANTS! I hope we could meet each other one day, before we leave. And when we do, we're going to be a family again! Daddy, Mommy, Alex, and I are gonna have so much fun from then on! We're gonna be complete like you guys."

"Then we should find your Daddy soon, Ally!" Yzzie said. "Don't worry, I'll help you look for him. What does he look like?"

Ally shrugged. "I don't know. I've never seen him before. But Mommy's says he's really handsome."

Kiara giggled. "I bet he is. Who else would you get your beautiful face from?"

"Mommy, of course!" Ally said. Then, Kiara started tickling her. Yzzie followed suit. "Hahaha! Stop it you two!"

Suddenly, the four heard noise coming from outside. They all peeked at the window and saw Alex and Seth playing near the pool.

"I'm so gonna win to you, Alex!"

"Not on my watch, Seth!"

"But you don't have a watch…" (A/N: LOL That was randomly on purpose XD Ahem. On with the story!)

"Looks like the boys are having fun." Kiara said. "Wanna go join them?"

The three nodded and made their way downstairs and out to the pool where they saw the two boys blowing two paper boats to the edge of the pool.

"Yes! I won!" Seth pumped his fist in the air and looked at his friend. "In your face, Alex!"

"Hey!" Kiara called. "What are you guys doing?"

"We're making paper boats. You blow them all the way to the edge of the pool or make waves with your hands if your air can't reach it anymore. Whoever gets there first wins." Alex explained. (A/N: By the way, since the pool is too long, they start from the SIDES of the pool UGH It's so hard to explain -.-" Anyway, I hope you got what I meant by that.) "But we were just about to stop, so you guys wanna play something else with us?"

Yzzie thought for a while and grinned devilshly, just like her father, of course, as she poked her brother on the shoulder and started running away. "Tag! You're it!"

"I do not like this game." Seth said, but started running after is targets.

And they all made a run for it.

oOo

"Sis, where the hell are you?" Meyrin scowled through the phone. It's been an hour since she got to the parlor and Lunamaria wa still not around. "You promised to help me pick out what hair they should do to me on the wedding and where are you? Oh yeah, not here!"

"I'm sorry, okay?" A sigh was heard from the other line. "It was all of a sudden that Lady Lacus invited me for shopping and-"

"Wait, shopping?"

"Yeah. We're baby shopping for Lady Miriallia."

(3) "And why wasn't I invited?"

Lunamaria shrugged. "I don't know, but we sure are having fun!" (A/N: LOL Talk about rubbing it in, eh, Luna?)

"Hmph!"

A weary laugh was heard. "Look Meyrin, I'm sorry, but like I said, it was just all of a sudden. I'll make it up to you, I swear! How about we do it another day?"

Without answering back, Meyrin hung up the phone. How dare she not be invited!

oOo

A giggle escaped Liana's lips as Alex chased her. "You'll never catch me!"

"Yeah right!" Alex panted in the same time smiling.

"Liana, watch out!" Kiara said, for she saw her nearing a litlle puddle on the edge of the pool.

But it was too late. "AHHH!"

"Liana!"

(1) If everyone must know, Miriallia is pregnant. IDK How many months, though. It will be decided soon.

(2) Meyrin just cares too much. TOO MUCH. LOL I'm so mean.

(3) Once again I am so mean, but hey, why would Meyrin get invited? Tch... ^^

Long chapter, huh? I think it was the longest one I've made for this story. Just hoping that it was worth the wait! ^^

Review ^^
