Author's Note: It was fun to see your speculations about the hair incident but almost all of them were wrong, nobody guessed the right one. But that's okay, so maybe you'll find this chapter's content surprising.
About Mao… sorry if the characters are a bit unrealistic sometimes but it is necessary for the crack humor.
Anyway, enjoy!
"CC, what's wrong!?" Lelouch repeated his question "Oh my, a part of you hair is dangling! Kids sorry, I and big sister forgot something. CC hurry up let's go!"
"Y-yes…" CC moved and continued pushing the bugger, but now a little faster,but Lelouch can see a shocked expression on her face, her eyes reflect lack of focus; she seemed to be thinking something…
What could she be thinking? "CC what's the matter-"
"Lelouch, Ogi and Tamaki…they're there, at my left!" she loudly whispered to him, making no suspicious movements.
He answered calmly "We'll change course, it's better to make sure-"
"Lelouch, he's waving at me! Oh my, half of my hair is showing! This wig can't hold it!" Their steps were getting faster. Lelouch put all his effort into hiding his thin frame at CC's side, bending his knees and imitating her movements "Let's hurry to that alley before they reach us!" he said to her.
-
A little farther away:
"Tamaki, isn't that CC?"
"Yeah your right Ogi-san, hey look! She's pushing a bugger! It must be the babies, let's see them!"
"Really? But is it ok to meet her in public? I mean we can be suspected of something-"
"Ogi-san, where would the suspicions come from? Besides, there are no police here."
"Maybe your right…" The two waved at CC but she pretended not to see them. "Tamaki, she didn't see us, let's go to her."
-
Back at the couple:
"Lelouch, I think we lost them…"
"Yeah I think so CC-"
"DUCK!!" CC pretended to fall over and took Lelouch with her, hiding themselves behind the buggers. "Here's the wig, and put on a lipstick, hurry up!"
He could see feet of the two Black Knights approaching them "subarashi…kawai!" he can hear them say, "Ogi, Tamaki, why are you here?" CC questioned them as she stood up, using Lelouch's head as support.
"Subarashi…they're so adorable, CC they're 6 months right?"
"Yes, th-they are" she glanced at Lelouch from time to time, trying not to break her eye contact with them.
Tamaki looked closely at the twin's faces "Wow, the girl has sakura colored eyes and the boy has aqua eyes…"
CC smiled "Yes, they got their father's shade-"
"Zero's eyes!?"
…
Darn, they quickly but discreetly came to us, they really are terrorists! he said to himself, it's too late to escape now! He adjusted the shoulder length, black curl wig on his hair and quickly put lipstick on his lips. Darn, I look like my mama, but why should I-
"Miss, are you alright?" Ogi reached out his hand to Lelouch with a chivalrous smile.
"Yeah, sure…" he responded in the highest pitch he can produce "thank you, sir" but he croaked and he was helped to stand up.
"Oh CC, you didn't tell us that you have a lovely friend there "Hello lovely lady, have anyone told you that you're so beautiful?" Tamaki flashed his white pearls at him and winked, CC chuckled.
What the? What did that dork just say!? That Tamaki! I'll make sure he dies in combat! "Go away Eleven, I don't like you!" he talked in a girly manner.
"CC stood between the two, be patient with my friend Luluko, she is sensitive."
Ogi laughed hard at his friend "Luluko-san, sorry, my friend's just like that" Tamaki blushed as Ogi pulled him "CC-san, Luluko-san, I think we must be going, I hope you can bring those two there one day" he bid farewell as he walked away dragging the other.
"W-wait!" Tamaki broke free of Ogi's grip and ran to Luluko.
"Tamaki-" CC scowled at him.
He then took hold of both his hands and looked straight at his face "Luluko, I think I fell in love with you on first sight! I don't care if you're Britannian…tall and flat-chested"
"Get away from me pervert!" he growled after a squeal.
"And has a man's voice...I-I love…" Lelouch froze in fear and his eyes drew horror as Tamaki's face was getting near his…
Lelouch!! CC hands reached for them but…
ANYBODY HELP ME!!

What the hair tells
-
Lelouch wasn't able to attend school that day, he's sick to his stomach after thinking about what may have happened. He went straight home and called Milly, saying that he wasn't feeling well. But as always, his conversations with the women in his household would always refresh his mind: Sayoko and Nunally calms him, while CC exercises his brain. He was home, and it's time to relax while watching the twins crawl in their crib. They can already crawl a meter and it's certainly entertaining to see them play-or eat- their toys.
Sipping his hot coffee, he remembered what has been bugging him; CC's weird reaction when her hair showed off.
CC entered the room with bottles, he was about to ask her when-
"Lelouch, I have something to tell you…" CC stood there facing him while shaking the formulas.
"I was about to ask you about it." He picked up the newspaper and opened it to the Where is Zero? page.
"I thought so… but I don't know, I might be thinking wrong…"
Lelouch faced her and stopped reading.
"Lelouch, my hair grew longer…"
"W-what does that mean?" his heart was beating from the dozens of speculations he thought at the same time, couldn't it be that…
"They never grew long before, that means…I aged, since I gave birth… now my life is tied to them"
…
"Stop that!" A heavy hand separated Lelouch and the homo on time and toughly stood between them.
"Please leave her alone, it's obvious that she's uncomfortable."
Suzaku!?
"Kururugi Suzaku?" Tamaki spat on the ground, "acting like a hero aren't you? STOP JOKING AROUND!!" He charged at him and raised his fist to punch him but Suzaku was too fast for him, and tossed him to the air.
"Please stop this, I'm a trained fighter."
"You collaborator-" Ogi put his hand on Tamaki's shoulder "Tamaki, don't waste your time with him." He said one last thing to Suzaku "Excuse us" then dragged the loser away.
"Luluko! I'll find you, don't worry…"
Lelouch stood there shocked at what just happened.
"Lelouch, are you okay?" CC asked him.
"Lelouch…why…"Suzaku looked at his appearance
"Don't misunderstand! I-I…"
"Maybe we can talk about it inside the car" said the pink haired girl from peering from the limo, parked near them. "We'll take you home; you're already causing a ruckus here." Lelouch saw people beginning to flock at them.
Lelouch and CC were grateful to enter the limo. Suzaku helped them bring the babies inside. The princess and the Knight sat on the left side with the babies on their laps while the witch and the warlock sat on the right side.
"So Lelouch, why do you look like that?" Suzaku giggled as he asked him.
"I-I…" Lelouch quickly wiped hard the lipstick on his face and pulled the wig.
CC butted in "At the last minute I urged him to disguise as a mother so he'll get a discount at the store, but we forgot to take it off when we went out, good thing nobody saw me."
Euphie and Suzaku laughed hard "Lelouch, I didn't expect you'd go that far, maybe being a father really does change a lot of things eh? Y-Yet I know you're not a cross dresser, but you sure look like a girl!"
"Yes!Yes!" the princess agreed, nodding her head as she hugged Eirian and kissed his face.
Lelouch turned red in embarrassment; it only took a while before the laughter died down when Lelouch changed the topic.
"Euphie, why are you here?"
"Actually I was supposed to visit you but Sis Cornelia found out that I escaped work and she just ordered me to come back to the headquarters, so taking you home is the only thing I can do for now." She smiled sadly.
"Oh…I see, too bad, she must also be frustrated by the current situation of Area 11."
"Yeah…but it's okay! I'm happy to see the twins again, they grow up so quickly!"
Silence followed, disrupted only by the twins' giggles.
"So Euphie, what are your plans now, do you still want to continue the SAZ?" Lelouch asked the question his throat was itching for, his wait for the answer seemed long to him.
"I-I don't know…"
"You're very optimistic about it right?" Lelouch told her with concern but inside he was attacking her psychologically.
Then he could see the long faces of the princess and the knight looking at each other with teary eyes.
He waited for her but she and Suzaku remain silent, eyes downcast. And she answered at last, getting gloomier and gloomier with every word "Nobody supported my plan, Sis Cornelia got angry saying that we lost three siblings here in Japan…If only I could tell her that you're alive, but I can't right?"
"Yes, Nunally and me will live more difficult lives if we're involved with Britannian household again, and there's also CC" he looked his girl beside him. "But, I'm sure you may be able to do something different." Lelouch encouraged her but he was happy that SAZ is dead.
"B-but" Suzaku spoke "Princess Cornelia threatened to demote me if Euphie planned another shit she said"
Holding her love's hand she revealed her dilemma "I want to create a peaceful place for you and Nunally, but I don't want to be separated with Suzaku either."
Lelouch cannot speak for a while. He got up and walked towards her looking at her eyes…and then he wrapped his arms around her gently and softly spoke at her ears "I'm so glad for, you…this might be your chance, our chance to be a normal couple!" Happiness, can be clearly seen in his eyes.
She tightly hugged him back and buried her face on his chest "I-I'm so happy too! At last… after centuries of waiting…I thought that I can never be…"Sobbing but laughing a little a between lines, she was sure that she is…a human after all.
He stroked his hands through her smooth hair and kissed her at the forehead "I'm so happy for you, and for Aurora and Eirian."
"B-But, how can I protect you if I'm not immortal anymore, or if I lose my other abilities? If I'm going to be powerless now, just as them…"
"If that happens…" Looking at her golden eyes with passion he wiped her tears with both his hand's soft fingers "If that happens, rejoice and be glad for me:
…for it will be my turn to protect you!"
