"Here's your son, my lady," said Laura Morris as she handed Athrun over to the lady who was sitting up on her bed.
"Thank you, Laura." The nurse blushed. She didn't expect the wife of Patrick Zala to remember her name. She looked on while the mother unbuttoned her blouse to allow the infant to suckle. Lenore was happy to have Athrun. Although a scientist, she knew of her husband's work, both the legal and the illegal ones. But, Patrick was discreet enough never to burden her with his ideals, and the couple was a loving one despite their time apart. She, too, wondered about Siegel Clyne. From their few meetings, she could understand why the two men were fast friends. With their similar energies, Lenore was certain if both men had pursued her at the same time, she would still be single by now...
On the table beside the bed, was a basket of fruits. The lady chuckled secretly; three months earlier, she had sent another basket of fruits to the Clynes for... what's her name... ah, yes, Lacus. That's right: for Lacus. The thought of having a possible playmate for his son gladdened Lenore's heart. Once she was fully recovered, she intended to return to her work full-time. Although technically, her expertise was used to help the Naturals, since the PLANTs couldn't have their own food production, she was sure that eventually, this ban would be overturned, especially since her husband was working hard on it. She glanced down towards her son, who was still having his breakfast. She prayed that Athrun would never have to live in a future where Coordinators and Naturals were at open war with each other...
Meanwhile...
"He's beautiful, isn't he." Via Hibiki was silent as she cradled her son. There was nothing she could do now, but to accept the truth: the infant that she was holding in her hands was the "Ultimate Coordinator". She hated that term, almost as much as the man who made it his goal and achievement, the man who used to be her husband...
"Have you seen our daughter yet," she whispered, almost inaudibly. Ulen nodded. Although he wan't interested in the girl, she was, after all, his own flesh and blood as well. Suddenly, Ulen had an idea. He went out of the room, only to return a few moments later with his daughter in his hands, and a camera. He rested the infant next to Via and whipped out the device. Despite herself, Via decided to pose her children for the camera. For the man, his son may be his alone, but still, he could allow a "family" photo to be taken. Once everyone was ready, the father pressed the button...
