CHAPTER 4: A 'Quiet' Walk in the Park
Kira POV
It was around midday and Kira had driven Lacus and himself to the park nearest to their mansion. Lacus was humming to herself as they walked hand in hand around the gardens admiring the beauty of the roses that were growing out of the lush green bushes surrounding the crystal blue lake. Lacus was wearing the most petite pink dress he had ever seen. Her trademark clip shone brightly basking in the rays of the sun. He had never seen a more beautiful girl in his life and he still could not believe that she was his. Every time he looked at Lacus it was like seeing her again for the first time.
He led her to the area under the trees to set up their picnic. This was the very same area he had proposed to her in and a week later they were married and not long after little Melody came along. Lacus was not the type of girl who let others do all the work regardless of the way she was brought up as the daughter of Siegel Clyne who had been killed in the midst of the first war due to his 'betrayal' to Athrun's father at the time. Lacus interrupted his thoughts.
Lacus: Kira, where should I put this?
He snapped his head up and looked at the picnic mat she held in her hands.
Kira: Don't trouble yourself Lacus, here let me do it.
Lacus: Thank you kira –kisses him on the cheek-
Kira: -blushes and is about to kiss her on the lips when…-
Stranger number 1: OH MY GOSH! Isn't that Lacus Clyne! I love her songs!
Stranger number 2: OH MY GOSH! Yes it is!
Kira and Lacus pull away from their close embrace to look up at the pair of girls who had recognized Lacus.
Stranger number 1: I'm a huge fan of yours Miss Clyne, could I get your autograph?
Stranger number 2: Me too, me too!
Lacus: -smiles gently- Of course you can, here you go. –writes her autograph to the two fan girls-
Both: Thank you sooooooo much Miss Clyne!
Lacus: -looks up at Kira- I guess it hasn't registered to a lot of people that I'm a Mrs Yamato now –giggles-
Kira: -looks adoringly at Lacus- As long as we know it. –pulls Lacus in for a kiss the second time but his phone rings- Hello? Yes, yes. I remember. Yes, I've got it. Tomorrow night? Sure. Bye.
Lacus: Who was it?
Kira: Cagalli, just reminding us we should pack formal wear for the commemoration ball tomorrow night. She was on her way to the army base.
Lacus: Oh, I've already packed it.
Kira: It actually sounded to me as if she'd forgotten about it herself.
Lacus: It must be tough for her though. With so many…things on her mind.
Lacus POV
This afternoon was not as romantic as I'd expected it to be but all the same. I got to spend time with Kira and that was what counted. Recently, they had both been extremely busy especially with their upcoming week off to visit ORB. After all the distractions they enjoyed a nice afternoon just being together. She wished that the day wouldn't come to an end but it did.
When Kira had driven the both of them back to the mansion, little Melody was the first to greet them with a big hug. She picked her up and carried her back in to get ready for their evening space shuttle to ORB. She could tell Melody was already a little sleepy as her eyes started to droop. She began to hum the lullaby she had sung to Melody when she was just a baby. It was a song she had sung especially for Melody. She sat in their living room couch still holding on to her little child waiting for Kira to bring their luggage to the car that was waiting for them outside.
When the car did arrive, she got in, still humming to Melody and even Kira was feeling sleepy. He rested his head on her shoulders and Lacus put her head on his. She had never felt any happier than she did when they were all together. Her family. The only ones missing were Cagalli and Athrun. She couldn't wait to see everyone again.

Author's note* If you notice the last line of the first paragraph and it sounds familiar it's because I linked it to Taylor Swift's song 'Mine'
