Keeping Faith Chapter 10
Yzak awoke early, which was not unusual. He kissed Shiho's head and rolled out of bed, quietly. She groaned and sat up slowly.
"Where are you going?" she mumbled. He smirked.
"Just to the shower," he said quietly and made his way back to the bed.
"Mmmm, alright," she said tiredly. She yawned. "I just don't like seeing you leave." Yzak sighed.
"I'm sorry for scaring you," he said as he sat down onto the bed.
"You should be," she teased. She sat up farther and placed her hands on her stomach. "I'm getting tired of being pregnant," she said aggravated. Yzak lay down next to her and kissed her neck. He rubbed her stomach.
"I think you look nice," he said. "I'm just happy I can be here." Shiho smiled and wrapped her hands around his neck.
"I am too." She pushed him away. "Alright, take your shower. I am ready to confront my father," she said standing.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"I'm going to wake Keeley up. We have to drop her at your mother's house before where go to the council." Yzak nodded and made his way to the shower.
After the shower, Yzak put on his uniform for the first time since he'd be been back. He adjusted his collar in the mirror and pulled up his boots. He smoothed out the front and placed the hat on his head.
"I always thought you looked so handsome in that uniform," Shiho said walking back into the room with Keeley. She laughed remembering all the times she had ripped that uniform off of him, desperate to touch his skin.
"And red always looked beautiful on you," he said. She blushed and Yzak kissed her cheek. "Are we ready to go?" Shiho took a deep breath and nodded.
After they dropped Keeley off, they made their way to the council center. As Yzak walked into the building, he was immediately greeted by many secretaries and younger soldiers. Many of them looked slightly
"Good morning, Mr. Joule," a boy said as they walked by.
"It's good to see you back," another said. Yzak rolled his eyes and stormed into his own office.
"Dearka!" he barked.
"Morning, Yzak," Dearka said standing up and greeting the two.
"I expect you kept everything in check, while I was gone,"
"You know, it was nice and quiet with you gone," Dearka said folding his arms. Shiho giggled.
"Well, I'm back and I just want you to know that I'm not going to be leaving anytime soon," he stated in a matter-of-fact tone. Dearka placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm not going to lie, that's really great to hear," he said. Yzak grabbed Shiho's hand.
"We have to go to talk to Mr. Hahnenfuss," Yzak said sternly. Dearka nodded,
"Good luck," Dearka said.
Shiho led the way to her father's office in an angry storm. Yzak hurried to follow her.
"Shiho…Shiho…I think we should go into this calmer," he suggested. Shiho whipped her head around.
"Oh, Yzak you're such a hypocrite!" she yelled. Yzak shrugged. She did have a very strong important point. She knocked on her Father's office door. "Come on, Father, you've wanted to talk to me and now I'm here!" Shiho yelled into the wooden door. Yzak grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back into a chair. Mr. Hahnenfuss, emerged from the room.
"Shiho, you're finally here. And Yzak it's great to see you," he said and held his hand out to shake Yzak's.
"Don't you even try to touch him," Shiho said standing up. Mr. Hahnenfuss looked completely shocked.
"Shiho…I," he began.
"Don't speak!" she yelled. "Don't even try. I came here to tell you two things father and after that I never want to hear from you again
"Shiho, Shiho please," Yzak said.
"Father, you stole my huband from me, he could've died! Died! Then I would've been alone, with two children. How dare you not even consider my feelings?" Her father stared blankly. "And then you think it's ok to be a part of my life when you've done this. Calling me everyday. And to top it all off, the minute Yzak returns home, you think everything is back to normal. Please stay out of my life, I don't ever want to see you…or even think of you…" Shiho began to trail off as tears streamed down her face. Yzak placed his hands around her shoulders.
"I think it would do you well to leave us alone," Yzak snapped strictly.
"You bastard, it would've been better if you died, corrupting my daughter and corrupting our government, you and all your friends who are so involved with helping Naturals."
"It's people like you who are stopping progression. I hope you aren't elected back on to this council," Yzak snapped.
"Mother would be so ashamed," Shiho said. "Just think about that," she finished as she grabbed Yzak's hand and walked away.
"That felt wonderful," Shiho said sighing. But paused for a moment. "Though, I don't understand when he changed so much," she said quietly. Yzak nodded and rubbed her arm. "Let's have Dearka and Miriallia over for dinner tonight. I feel like cooking," she said. Yzak was pleased to see Shiho looking so free and happy.
"You feel like cooking? Now I know something is wrong," Yzak chuckled. She punched his arm lightly. "But seriously, are you feeling ok? I don't want you to be too stressed out," he said. She nodded.
"I'm fine! Who knew that Yzak Joule would be so worrisome?" she giggled. Yzak rolled his eyes. "Alright I'm going to go pick up Keeley," Shiho said. "I'll see you at home, invite Dearka," she said and kissed his cheek.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Otis said squeezing Annie's hand. Annie nodded her head quickly.
"I'm positive," she replied as they made their way up the path to their commander's house. Otis rang the doorbell and Shiho opened the door. She smiled happily when she saw the two younger recruits.
"Hello, Annie Douglas, and you must be Otis?" Shiho began. She held out her hand and grasped Otis. "I'm Shiho Joule, Yzak's wife," she said happily. "Won't you two join us?" she said and motioned for them to come inside.
"Of course," Otis replied.
"Dearka and Miriallia are here for dinner. Have you both eaten because there is plenty of food!" Shiho offered.
"We'd love to stay!" Annie blurted out before Otis could say anything.
"Who's here?" Dearka asked as Shiho walked back into the living room.
"Annie and Otis," she stated and Dearka stood up.
"Alright! Otis my man!" he said and grasped the boys hand. "How are you Annie?" he asked. She smiled.
"Much better," she said, although Dearka could she was partially putting on an act.
"Where's Commander Joule?" Otis asked.
"He should be coming downstairs," Shiho said right as Yzak entered the room.
"Hello Commander," both teens said in unison. Yzak smiled.
"Hello, what brings you here?"
"They stopped by and I invited them to dinner," Shiho said. Yzak smirked.
''That's great," he said and Shiho and Miriallia walked into the kitchen.
"Do you need any help?" Annie offered. Shiho laughed.
"Don't be silly! You're our guest!" Yzak brought Keeley to the table and everyone followed him, Miriallia passed out drinks and Shiho began to set the table. She had cooked salmon and rice for supper and Dearka, especially was excited for this intense home cooked meal. Yzak smiled as he watched his friends interact. He couldn't help but feel that things were going back to normal.
"So, Ms. Douglas, Mr. Jeffman, I'm assuming you came here for a specific reason. Would you care to share?" Yzak asked. Annie immediately blushed and dropped her fork by accident.
"Well I just wanted to come and tell you that I changed my mind," she said quietly. "I want to come to ZAFT. I want to be part of the military again," she said sternly. Yzak looked slightly shocked by this request.
"Of course, of course you can come back," he began. "But I'll tell you honestly that I don't know when we'll be back in the field. But I greatly welcome the return of one of my best pilots." He said happily. Shiho smiled as well. For some reason Shiho had been greatly hoping to see Annie return to ZAFT. She felt happy knowing that there were other women fighting for the army, when she couldn't.
The dinner continued on with casual conversation for the rest of the evening. Yzak smiled as he realized that life was finally returning to normal. He returned to the council tomorrow and he was greatly looking forward to having his routine once more. He made eye contact with Shiho and they both knew things were getting back on track
