Chapter 5: A mother's advice
"Lacus, I want to thank you for taking good care of Kira for me." Caridad said while she and Lacus was waiting for Kira and the kids to return.
"It was nothing miss Yamato." Lacus replied.
"No, because Kira is more cheerful and more active now than he was after the first war and it's all thanks to your care."
"I notice that too, now he is beginning to walk out of his past and live with all the regrets that he had during the first war."
"Well enough about that tell me how the both of you doing now?" Caridad asked.
"Huh?"
"Well I am sure that the both of you are lovers now, but I want to know how far did the both of you go last night..." Caridad asked mischievously.
Lacus blushed and replied. "We didn't do much because I was too tried yesterday after shopping so I fall asleep when we lay down on his bed."
"Well I am sure there are more chances now because the both of you will be sleeping together on the same bed... unless Kira is too shy to do anything..." Caridad said thoughtfully.
"Kira is very shy and he don't even dare to make out with me until I told him that I wanted too."
"Well Kira had always been shy around girls and when he was still a child he don't even have the courage to talk to girls and it's almost the same with Athrun. That's why Athrun and him become best friends."
"Really?" Lacus asked. 'I can use this piece of information to tease him later...' Lacus thought.
"Well Lacus, there is something I have always wanted to know but I am not sure if I should ask you..."
"You can ask me anything miss Yamato."
"Well I hear that you and Athrun were engaged before so do you still have any feelings for him?"
"Athrun and I are only friends now. I still have feelings for him but it's only as a friend and nothing more than that. I am sure that he feels the same way because when I told him that I love Kira he said that its ok since he's in love with Cagaili now." Lacus explained.
"Thank you, that's all I need to know. I am sorry for asking you such a question because I just want to make sure." Caridad apologize.
"I understand how you feel miss Yamato because Kira had gone through a lot of things so it natural for you to be worried for him." Lacus replied.
"Actually I have doubt you at first because I was wondering what is it you have to make Kira willing to risk his life for you but now I understand. Kira love you so much because you are kind and understanding."
Just then the kitchen door bust open with the children running in with Kira leading them behind.
"Lacus is lunch ready?" Kira asked. "Or am I interrupting something?"
"No its nothing can you help me bring the children outside while I carry the dishes out?" Lacus asked.
"Wait let me do it. Kira you can stay here and help Lacus a bit." Caridad said as she led the children outside.
"Need my help with anything?" Kira asked.
"Well you can start by helping me set up the table first."
"Sure, anything else?"
"No." Lacus gave Kira a kiss on the cheek. "Take it as your reward and you better hurry before the kids starve." Lacus added after noticing Kira blushing.
Kira nodded and went of the kitchen blushing with Lacus giggling at his reaction from her kiss.
'He is really shy...' Lacus thought to herself.
After lunch Kira help Caridad clean up the dishes while Lacus led the children outside to play with them.
"Kira there is something I want to ask you…" Caridad said while they were washing the dishes.
"Yes?"
"Well I want to know how far are you in your relationship with Lacus now."
"Mom!" Kira shouted embarrassed.
"What's the problem with talking about my son's love life with his mother? Just tell me everything and I may even be able to help you." Caridad said.
"Well Lacus and are doing fine now and we are moving with our own pace so everything is fine between the both of us."
"Are you sure? From what I heard you seem to be a slow mover..."
"Well I don't want to move too fast in our relationship that's why."
"But there is something you must know... That is Lacus also want you to take your relationship to the next step..."
"What! But...but she never tell me about it and I don't know what you mean by the next step..."
Caridad signed. Her son is much more dense than she thought.
"Well son, there are some things that a girl cannot say and only a boy can so you don't expect Lacus to be the one to make the first move right? So do you understand now?" Caridad asked.
"I still don't quite understand yet but I think I know what to do already..." Kira replied.
"Good, so what have you planned to give her this Christmas?"
"Actually I plan to propose to her during Christmas night as a Christmas present..."
"Really? Then you better do it correctly because I want to have a few grandchildren running around the house soon. So you and Lacus better work hard after you get married."
"Mom! I don't even know if she accepts my proposal yet!"
"You don't have to worry about that. I am sure she will accept it. By the way where are you going to propose to her?" Caridad asked.
"At the fountain at midnight when there is a full moon." Kira replied.
"Ok then I will ask the kids not to go there so that they will not interrupt the both of you."
"Thanks mom. I will go help Lacus with the kids now." Kira said as they finish washing the dishes.
"Don't thank me, just get Lacus to marry you and give birth to lots of children would be fine." Caridad yelled as Kira went out of the kitchen.
"So what did you and your mom talk about just now?" Lacus asked having a good idea of what they were talking about.
"It's nothing we were just talking about how Cagaili and Athrun is doing now." Kira lied.
"Well I wish there is something I can do to help them..." Lacus said thoughtfully.
"I wish I could help too but we can only let them sort out their own problems." Kira replied.
"I agree."
"Let us enjoy our time together alone now since the kids are having their afternoon nap now..." Kira said as he held Lacus tightly in his arms.
Lacus nodded as she leaned back against him enjoying the warmth he gave her.
"I got an idea. Maybe we can help them after all..." Lacus said suddenly. "Listen this is what we will do..."
Cagaili sat in her office going though a set of documents when some one knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Cagaili said without looking up from her documents.
Kisaka walked in and bowed.
"Miss Attha, there is a man with blue hair says that he wants you to meet him at the orb memorial tomorrow."
'A man with blue hair? Athrun?' Cagaili thought.
"Ok, then. Anything else?"
"No." Kisaka replied as he walks out of the room.
Cagaili sat back in her chair and thought about what Kisaka had said.
'A man with blue hair huh? Who else can it be other than Athrun and why would he want to meet me for?'
"Have you told her?"
"Yes but I don't know if she will meet up with you."
"Did you tell her it's me?"
"No but I think she is bound to know it's you because who else have blue hair other than you?"
"Thank anyway Kisaka I own you one."
"Don't thank me, I just want Cagaili to have a suitable husband that will take care of her and love her. Anyway, I am doing Kira a favor"
"Kira ask you to do it?"
Kisaka nodded.
'So Kira had chose Cagaili for me...'Athrun thought.
"Well thanks anyway."
"So how did it go?" Lacus asked when she and Kira had sent the children to bed at night.
"Cagaili got the message but I am not sure if she will go and meet Athrun." Kira replied as they made their way back to their room.
"I am sure she will." Lacus replied as she went to the bathroom to change into her nightgown and get ready for bed.
Kira sat on the bed after changing into his sleeping clothes and thought about what his mom told him about making the first move.
'Now stay calm Kira you can do this right... since Lacus is waiting for you to make the first move...' Kira thought as Lacus step out of the bathroom.
'Here goes nothing...'Kira went towards Lacus and pulled her into his arms.
"Kira?" Lacus was surprised by Kira's action. "Kira what are you..." Lacus never manage to finish her sentence because Kira suddenly kissed her.
Lacus was shocked but soon kiss back and they continue to make out while moving towards the bed. Kira pinned Lacus on the bed as he continues to kiss her. They only broke the kiss when the both of them were out of breath.
"Kira?" Lacus said still breathless.
"Lacus I am ready to take another step in our relationship." Kira said while blushing.
"You mean..."
"Yes. I am ready to try going for second base." Kira said as he starts to kiss Lacus again.
