Athrun noticed something was off after my conversation about what happened.

"That weird Lacus looking thing?" Athrun said, "Who refused to let go of my arm?"

I couldn't help but smile and nodded. I was discharged after the doctor made sure the swelling on the cut went down. He told me some instructions about how to keep the cut clean and after changing and armed with my bag of things, I left with Athrun.

We went to my apartment first and Athrun took my still unpacked suitcase to his truck…I see he had more then one vehicle.

I packed another suitcase because I wasn't going to be living there soon. I took all my important things in another suitcase. When I was done with three suitcases we left to Lacus' place…and Kira's. The weight in my tote bag was heavy at the thought.

At home Athrun put my stuff in the guest room beside him. He refused my help because he didn't want any stress put on me. I smiled figuring he thought I was a glass rose.

"How's Lacus?" I asked

"She was dying to come, but there was no flight at the time and she'll be here tomorrow. Kira and everyone finished shooting today and they'll be taking the flight the day after," he said, "Are you hungry?"

I made a face and said, "I don't really want anything big."

"How about soup?" he asked

I nodded and he left to go get my some soup. I quickly changed and came out of the washroom letting out a sigh and fell on the bed closing my eyes, tense. I wish I didn't turn over that stupid picture!

About half an hour later I heard knock from the door. Athrun came in with a tray of food. I sat up and ate it slowly smiling at the orange juice he brought for me.

"Freshly squeezed too," he said with a grin kissing my temple, "Now eat up quickly, you need to sleep after. Doctor ordered lots of rest."

I nodded and soon his wonderful soup was slurped into my stomach. Athrun placed the tray on a coffee table in the room. I went onto bed and with Athrun's presence I fell asleep.

The next morning was relaxing. I woke up well rested and was quite content, until I remembered all of yesterday's fiasco. I touched the bandage around my head and turned to look around the room to see no sign of Athrun. I took a shower and freshened up in the washroom. After I changed I went downstairs to Athrun's room to see him typing on his laptop, on speaker with some lady on the phone.

"Yes we finished the shot yesterday afternoon," he said with a smile.

"What are you doing back here so early then?" the woman asked.

"Cagalli had a little accident," Athrun said.

"Oh my! Is she okay, I do want to see my future daughter-in-law intact," the lady said.

Athrun laughed and said, "Whatever you want mother."

"But you young man I have some scolding for you. You haven't called me in weeks," she said

"I'm sorry mother, you can blame your future daughter-in-law," Athrun said with a laugh.

"Acting smart on your mother," she laughed, "Well I can't blame you Athrun she sounds very adorable and wonderful for you to be able to spend as much time with her as you can."

"She is mother, perfect in every way," Athrun said, "I love waking up knowing she's mine."

I blushed hearing him.

"It's good to hear you talk like this Athrun," the lady said, "After the whole Grace incident, it's really makes me happy."

"Mother let's not talk about Grace, she's been old news for years. All I want to think about is Cagalli," Athrun said.

"Good call," the lady said laughing, "You need to tell me more about her."

"What else do you want to know?" Athrun asked

"Well how far have you gone with her?" she asked.

"MOTHER!" Athrun yelled out and I knew he was blushing.

"What?" she asked innocently, "I just wanted to know."

"Mother," Athrun said.

"Fine," she said, "Don't tell me…I will figure it out!"

Athrun laughed and said, "Sure mother but I have to go check on Cagalli."

"Give her my blessings," the lady teased, "I love you."

"I love you too mother," Athrun said, "Bye."

"Bye," she said hanging. I heard Athrun press and button and I rushed back to the room acting like I was just getting out.

"Well good morning," Athrun said coming in to see me trying to put on socks.

"Morning," I said looking down trying to hide my red cheeks.

"What's gotten you so flushed today?" Athrun asked coming up, "Do you have a fever?"

Athrun touched my forehead and shook his head, "Good no."

I decided to be honest with him, "I heard what you and your mother earlier."

I saw Athrun's cheeks go light pink and he said, "How much?"

"Umm the end," I said turning to my suitcase to find some sneakers.

"Sorry about that," Athrun said, "Mother's just like that."

"She seems really nice," I said…what a mother should be like. But I had never met a mother or knew one in my life really. I saw them from afar but never actually knew them.

"Hey," Athrun said snapping my attention back to him.

"Sorry," I said, "Lost in thought."

"You've been doing that a lot lately," Athrun said, "Want to talk about it?"

I shook my head and said, "It's nothing I was just thinking that I've never really talked or heard a real mother before."

Athrun's eyes softened and he took me into his arms hugging me tightly, "Well along with me, you're going to get a mother as well. She can't wait to meet you in person."

I smiled into his chest and knew that he was right. Lacus came home a few hours later and fussed about the bandage over my head. What was wrong with that bandage anyways?

"I'm really fine," I said calming her, "You should be crying for my car."

She was still crying and said, "I knew I shouldn't have let you go home alone. You…dumb head!"

"Great diss Lacus," I said, "I see progress, from 'you silly person.'"

"It's not funny," Lacus said with anger, "You have any idea how scared I was?"

"I do," I said, "Now relax, and breathe. I'm perfectly fine."

She did and calmed down.

"Anyways," I said just to ruffle her up a bit, "Now I have to go come up with a routine for the charity function."

"Over my dead body," she said grabbing my arm and forcing me to sit on the couch, "You stay here for the next three days quietly, or I'll tie you down."

"Three days?" I said blinking, "You've got to be kidding me."

"And trust me even I'd help her," Athrun said with his arms crossed standing against a wall. Does anyone have a camera? This pose could be on a magazine.

"Athrun," I drawled his name out, "Why aren't you a model?"

He slipped from his position at the question and really thought about it and said, "I never wanted to be a model…ever. It's just kind of boring."

"I really thought you were a business person," I said crossing my legs on the couch.

Athrun chuckled and said, "I do have a MBA actually. If you want, I can be; only if you'd be my secretary."

I laughed and said, "Nice try buddy."

"Fine you caught me," Athrun said, "I'm also part of the Zala Corp, if you haven't heard already. It's a production company."

I looked at him and nodded. He laughed and said, "I'm a CEO of the film studio, a major investor. I oversee the financial, administrative, and creative aspects of a production. The company is directly responsible for the raising of funding for the production or may do so through an intermediary."

I nodded and said "Ohh how professional Athrun."

Athrun grinned and said, "Thank you darling."

The day passed by with more talking and lunch and dinner. I was relaxed but I still had a few headaches. Athrun changed my bandage before I went to bed. I ate my medicine and was put to bed, in Athrun's room. He held me in his arms as I fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, it was raining. My mood immediately depleted. I took a shower and was feeling quite groggy. My mind was mush. My body wasn't used to not dancing or moving…ever and it was taking a toll on me. I was very irritated.

"Good morning," Athrun said cheerily as I arrived downstairs sourly.

"What are you so happy about?" I grumbled going to the kitchen and rummaged through the fridge for some food.

"I made you breakfast," Athrun said grabbing my hand and bringing me to the dining table.

Yes I melted there. I mean who could ever be angry at someone so sweet.

"Sorry," I said, "I'm just cranky?"

"But you slept all night," Athrun said.

"My body's cranky, it needs to move around more…and dance," I said, "If I have to sit around all day like yesterday I will spontaneously combust!"

Athrun laughed at my choice of words and said, "If you want you can do some light dancing, is that fair?"

I sighed and nodded eating my breakfast quickly. The orange juice was there in a glass.

By noon there was party at the place of people. Everyone was checking out my bandage, scolding me, seeing pictures of my totaled car.

"I'm surprise you only came out with a cut to the head," Mr. Pissed said.

"Jeff shut up," Alan said.

I sighed and leaned back on the couch. I was quite distant, I think everyone noticed. I just really couldn't stand being in the same room as Kira and not ask him the big question.

I stood up and said, "Oh hell, I'm going upstairs," and ran up. I locked the room to my door and sat on my bed holding my head. I heard a knock on the door.

"Cagalli," Athrun said, "What's wrong?"

"I just have a headache," I said, "I'm going to take a nap."

"You are the worst liar, I've ever met," he replied, "Now at least open the door."

"What if I don't want to," I said.

"I'll break in, and trust me…I can," Athrun said, "And if you're stubborn I'll unpick the lock."

"Do you mind, I would like a bit of privacy for a while," I said, "I like being alone Athrun. I don't like people crowding around me 24/7."

"Nice try," Athrun said, "Just tell me what's really wrong, you're excuses are really pathetic."

"That's it! I'm jumping out the window if you don't leave," I said.

"You'll just fall on a bush, it's not dangerous," Athrun said.

"Stop spoiling my plans," I said.

I heard a clink in the lock and Athrun strutted in with a triumphed look. I glared at him and hid under the covers and said, "I want to take a nap."

Athrun just followed me under the covers too and said, "What a coincidence I feel tired all of a sudden."

I couldn't help but grin and said, "Sure you do."

Athrun poked my side at my reply. Lacus come through the door and said, "What's the matter Cagalli."

"I'm tired;" I said dramatically, "And Athrun's bothering me."

Lacus came up the bed and said, "Athrun I think you should leave Cagalli to sleep."

"But she's not tired," Athrun said.

"I am too," I said faking a yawn.

Lacus rolled her eyes and said, "Seriously what happened down there?"

"I hate crowds," I said.

"That's why you go to a club every week," Lacus said raising an eyebrow.

"Look I've just been through a very traumatic experience," I started, "I almost died a few days ago, would it kill you all if I want to contemplate on it?"

"What would you like to contemplate about?" Athrun asked hugging me closer to his muscled chest on the bed.

I went red and realized Lacus was there and tried to push away from Athrun. Lacus was beaming at me and I said, "Athrun I'm suffocating here."

Athrun laughed and said, "You wouldn't complain if Lacus wasn't here."

I blushed more and tugged away even more. Lacus started laughing and I managed to push us both out of bed. Athrun being…Athrun, took the fall quickly and I landed on top of him trapped in blankets. I let out a sigh and lay tiredly on Athrun's shoulder and said, "Now I'm really tired."

Athrun laughed and with the comforting of his hand soothing my back, I fell asleep. I guess I really was tired.

It was early evening when I woke up. I was on the bed in a dark room. I looked around and saw my stuff still in its luggage, my duffle bag still zipped, containing that picture. I couldn't help myself. I walked up to the bag and opened it up flipping it over and discarded all of its contents out of it. The picture fell out last. I stared the lady in the picture and gripped it tightly, coming to terms with the fact that I was staring at a picture of my mother. I felt water surge into my tearducts and I shut my eyes tightly so no tears could come out. After I had calmed down I looked at the two babies. I had a brother.

Kira was my brother. And he was just a downstairs.

I place the picture back into the bag and stuffed the other things back as well. I washed my face before going back downstairs and saw the most of the people had left. Kira was on the couch stretched out holding Lacus in his arms. I felt no hatred towards him…no. But there was just a resentment, to maybe wonder why the heck did he not know about me? I mean we're siblings!

I trudged down the stairs silently…sulking. I was a horrible actress.

"Finally glad to see you up," Kira said.

I merely nodded looking anywhere but at him and said, "I think I'm hungry."

I went to the kitchen and put my hand on the counter and said, "Why can't I do this? Just act like you always do."

"Do what?" Lacus said coming in putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Cook," I said stupidly, "I can't come up with anything to eat."

She gave me a look and said, "That was the most pathetic excuse I've ever heard in life."

"I seem to coming up with a lot of those lately," I said ironically.

"Earth to Cagalli," Lacus said waving her hands, "What's going on with you?"

"Nothing," I mumbled sticking my head in the fridge, "Just Kisaka came back."

"Your uncle?" Lacus said, "Where did he come from?"

"Apparently he's been looking for me for a while now," I said, "But I had been moving around a lot so it took him a while."

"Where's he now?" she asked, "Why'd he come looking for you."

"Just to tell me about Father's will, who my mother was…my family," I said, "I was supposed to get some money, but with everything that happened it was assumed I was dead or something and the money went to someone else."

"Who got it?" she asked, "And what happened to your parents?"

I looked at her and said, "Do I have to tell you?"

She nodded and said, "Yes."

Thank you Lac73 for the message lol i was like trueeee i forgot to update, my bad

here's a preview for the next chapter

I heard my name and regretting came downstairs, feeling like a girl who was going on her first date. I held onto the railing and when I saw Athrun's face turn I his eyes grow wide and his mouth open wide. He stood erect and when he came back to Earth after 10 seconds of staring. He walked up to me and held my hands and said, "You look…so beautiful I can't put it into words."

I blushed and nudged his chest fixing his tie and said, "And you aren't so shabby yourself."

"At least now I can finally do I wanted to do when I first saw you in this dress," Athrun said.

"What would that be?" I asked

He kissed me. I knew he was going to progress further but I broke away and said, "As much as I would love to continue we have a premiere to get too."

Athrun let out a small inaudible groan and said, "I should have come earlier."

I laughed and kissed his cheek and said, "After the show, I'm sure we can continue."

"I'll keep you to your promise then," Athrun whispered into my ear.
