I drove home, freaked out and stuffed a bag with everything of mines I could get my hand on. What if the next time Athrun wouldn't just be hit on the shoulder? What if it was something worse?

I drove to a hotel, took a room and sat inside shaking in fear.

I heard thunder rumble in the sky and I covered myself in the blanket hiding myself from the sounds.

When I woke up the next morning, it was still raining and the weather was just dreary. My cell phone was flashing with messages. As I was checking my messages that were from everyone I got a call from the one person I didn't want to talk to.

"God Cagalli, I'm begging you please," came Athrun's hoarse voice from his last message, "Pick up and just tell me you're alright."

"I'm fine," I whispered pressing the speaker, as the phone rang again.

"Cagalli I'm so sorry please I take everything back. We can be whatever you want," he pleaded, "Just tell me what's wrong, where are you?"

"I can't," I said, "I don't want anything to do with you."

"Cagalli please don't say that," he said, "I'll fix this. I promise darling. At least tell me where you are."

"No," I whispered, "Just leave me alone please. You'll do fine without me I promise."

"I'm not letting you go," he said, "Until you give me a reason why and a damned good reason why."

"I don't love you anymore," I said lying through me teeth.

"I can tell when you're lying," he said, "Angel, come home we'll solve this problem together."

"I said no," I replied, "What we had was enough so far, there's no point in going on."

"But why?" he asked, "You're not even giving an explanation. I'm not an idiot Cagalli."

"You want an explanation," I hissed, "Well I'll give you one. I'm tired of having a rich actor as a boyfriend. I'm done and fed up with you, your money; your fan girls and your parents. I'm done with the pictures people send me of you with different women. I don't trust you anymore. And what if because you I get shot next? I don't want to die."

All I heard was silence as he said softly, "Is that what you think?"

"Yes," I said cruelly though tears were streaming down my cheeks.

"If that's the case then I'm sorry you feel that way," he said, "Good bye."

His tone was so cold and I felt my heart break.

I stared at my cell phone for a few moments, feeling my insides quiver. And then I threw up a moment later. I leaned against the bathtub feeling dead. I just hoped Athrun would be alright. I rinsed out my mouth of the bitter stomach acid and went back to my room and sat in front of the television. Lacus called me a while later.

"What's going on?" she asked me, "Athrun looks like he lost everything in his life."

"I broke it off with him," I said.

"Are you crazy? Why?" she hollered.

"You can go ask him," I said coldly.

"Cagalli, this has been the first time I've ever seen him cry," Kira's voice came through, "And this is something I don't think I'll ever forgive you for."

I felt his words sting my heart.

Lacus seemed to have gotten the phone back and said, "I've never seem Kira this worried before. Cagalli what happened?"

"I can't talk Lacus," I said weary, "I need to go."

"At least tell me where you are!" she said.

"I can't I'm sorry," I said, "We'll talk later, maybe."

"Maybe?" she said, as I hung up.

I placed my cell phone on the table turning it off and walk out into the busy streets of New York wearing my glasses. I didn't know what happened but as I was walking down the street the world was spinning around and I saw black next.

When I woke up I was in a white room. There was an IV on my arm and I felt tired as hell. A nurse came in smiling and said, "That was one bad tumble you had there."

"Why am I in a hospital?" I asked holding my head as the world was slightly spinning.

"You fainted on the streets," she said, "A colleague of mine brought you here?"

"What happened?" I asked

She smiled and said "Congratulation you're pregnant."

I felt the wind knocked out of me.

"Pregnant?" I asked her, "As in I'm going to have a baby in nine months?"

"Well eight months to be exact," she said, "You're about a month in."

I place a hand over my mouth in surprise. I was pregnant. Somebody pinch me!

I felt a smile on my face and the nurse looked happy and said, "You should take it easy okay. Do you want me to call anyone you had no contact on you."

"Yes could you call A-" I started and then stopped abruptly. I remembered the reality of the situation. I look at her sadly and shook my head.

I was discharged and I took my file from her and rushed out heading back to the hotel. When I got into my room I touched my abdomen just so happy at the news. I was going to be mother, that to, to Athrun's child.

But then my heart faded as I remembered what happened between us.

What was I going to do now?

I got a call and it was Yunna.

"What do you want?" I asked, "Haven't you tortured me enough?"

"Of course not honey," he said, "What kind of person do you take me for?"

"A mental one," I said.

"Watch your tongue," he said, "I'm surprise you haven't told the police about me. I think you secretly want that Zala dead."

"It wouldn't matter because we're not together," I said.

"So where are you hiding now leaving that rich guy?" he asked, "Just like our story wasn't it?"

I rolled my eyes and said, "So what do you plan on doing now?"

"Wait and see, you'll be surprise," he said, "Now that Zala isn't protecting you, I'll get you soon, just watch your back."

I wasn't scared before by his threats I was now. I didn't have only myself, to worry about anymore, I had a child. I heard a knock at the door and I looked through the eyehole to see Lacus. I put my file under the pillow and let her in.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, "Make that how the hell did you find me?"

"I was looking for you that's what. As for finding you…Kira has many contacts." she said, "Now spill what exactly is really going on."

"I'm not sure I can," I said

"Cagalli," Lacus said holding my hands "Look at yourself! You look like you just went and came back from hell. I know you more then anyone else, and I know this has something to do with that bastard Yunna. There's no point in hiding anything from me, because I will find out."

I let out a sigh and nodded and she gave me a hug. And I told her everything expect about my baby.

"You logic is crazy," she said with a sigh of relief, "It's a shame Athrun's not that gullible to believe you."

"Huh?" I said brilliantly

"Yes, that is a good aspect about me," he said coming in through the door obviously hearing what I had just said. I stared up at him magnificent form. I jumped off my seat and behind the couch trying to push away his form that was trying to catch me.

"You get away from me," I said, "I'm doing this for your own good."

"Stop fooling yourself," he said as we both circled around the huge couch. Athrun was smiling at the situation.

"This isn't going to get us anywhere angel," he said.

"That's the idea," I said crossing my arms over my chest, "Besides I told you I don't want anything to do with you."

"How you can still be so stubborn amazes me. But as much as I love you darling, I'm not losing you because of some psycho ex-fiancée," he said catching me by the arm and immediately taking me into his arms. I stiffened trying to push him away, but with each push, I felt my resolve weaken and I grew tired. Soon I broke down on him. Damn him!

He soothed my back and said, "We'll get him Cagalli I promise. One of our spies said they have him on their tail."

"I'm so scared," I whispered.

"Why?" he asked, "I'm here aren't I."

"That what I'm afraid of," I said, "What if you get hurt?"

"I'm not leaving this world without you angel," he said kissing my forehead, "I'm going to be with you for a very long time I can promise you that."

I nodded and soon fell asleep on his chest. When I woke up next I was on the hotel bed on someone's lap. The said person was running his hand softly through my hair. I let out a sigh, and snuggled closer to the familiar warmth and comforting arms.

"You awake?" he asked.

I nodded feeling like there was a dead weight on me. Then I realized that it was only our child.

"Want to go home?" he asked, "Lacus took the liberty to pack your stuff."

I moaned softly feeling my stomach act up.

I felt his cool hand on my face as he asked, "What's the matter."

As I felt my stomach settle and I groaned and turned to my side. I just wanted to sleep forever.

"You think she has a fever?" Lacus asked, "Or maybe she ate something bad."

I felt Athrun check my forehead and he said, "No fever."

"I'm just tired," I mumbled hugging one of his legs.

"Angel, do you want to eat something?" Athrun asked.

I desperately wanted to say no, but thinking that my child was hungry I nodded.

"I'll go get something for you okay," he said placing me lightly on the bed.

I nodded as he left. I sat up and put my hand under the pillow to feel the file. I took it out and put it at the bottom of my suitcase, zipped it shut and went on the bed debating whether to tell Athrun or not about his child at this moment. When Athrun came back with the food, I ate it up quickly and felt him lift me up to the car.

It was snowing outside and I was slightly shivering but Athrun warmed me up instantly. We got into his car and he drove us back home. I feel asleep in the car, and when I woke up I was on our bed wearing I believe one of Athrun's shirts and wrapped in blankets. I looked around the room to see my bag on the floor, untouched. I went to the washroom to take a nice warm shower and came out wearing some yoga pants under and long sleeved top and went out the room. I went downstairs and saw the gang in the living room. Before I entered, the baby acted up and I went to the washroom to throw up. Cursing at the acid in my mouth I brushed my teeth again and used some mouth wash before going officially downstairs.

"You look pale," Lacus commented.

I shrugged and said, "I think I'm sick."

She gave me a questioning look as Athrun came in looking tired. He gave me a kiss before coming to sit beside me. I was twisting my thumbs distracted by my thoughts.

I heard Athrun sigh a while later and looked up and said, "What's wrong?"

Athrun shook his head and said, "You."

I kind of winced at his questioning look.

"I'm just worried," I said.

"About what?" he asked

You, our baby, your questions, your reaction were the thoughts running through my head like juggling balls and I said, "Just everything."

"I promise, that Serain won't do anything to us," Athrun said pulling me closer.

"I just wish he'd be caught already," I said.

"Anyways mother was thinking about you staying over at there place for a few days," he said.

"What for?" I asked looking at him curiously

"I have a few things in L.A I have to get done," he said, "I'm flying there with Kira tomorrow."

"Why can't I come?" I asked.

"Because I want to keep you inside somewhere safe for a while," he said.

"And what about you?" I asked

"Nothing's going to happen to me," he said holding my cheek, "I'll call you every minute just to reassure you."

I sighed and nodded.

"But before anything," Athrun said getting in front of me and kneeling down once again, "Will you please agree to marry me?"

Lacus and Kira were looking at me impatiently and I said, "If I say no?"

"Then I would just ask you again and again until you agree. Because I'm not letting you go darling," he said.

I smiled and nodded.

"Say it," Athrun said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Yes Athrun, I'll marry you," I said taking the initiative to kiss him. I heard claps behind me and I just squeezed Athrun's neck as I broke away from him reveling the feeling in his arms.

"I think we should celebrate," Athrun said with a wink.

I rolled my eyes and said, "I guess it wouldn't hurt."

Athrun had already made reservations at a nice restaurant. I was shining with happiness as Athrun held my hand fiddling with the ring he gave me about an hour ago.

"You're shining Athrun," Lacus said with a bright smile.

Athrun chuckled and said, "Well the world's most beautiful and sexiest girl did just agree to marry me. Not to mention she's the love of my life."

I flushed and smacked his arm as people from all around the restaurant heard his statement and started clapping and congratulating us. I hid under the menu.

"Okay, I have to go to the washroom," I said motioning Lacus to come with me. I got up to quickly and I saw the world distort a bit. I sat back down and held my head.

Athrun held me by my shoulders and said, "I really think you should see a doctor."

"No," I said shaking my head, "Seriously it's nothing. It's been a long day."

My washroom break was forgotten as out dinner came. Athrun got me some orange juice to boost my immune system got some wine for himself, refusing to give me any. I was secretly thankful for that because how was I going to explain that to him?

After dessert we drove home and Athrun and I had a personal celebration that lasted late into the night. It was mid morning when I was awoken Athrun stroking my bare back. I let out a sigh and moved closer to him chest.

"When do you have to go?" I mumbled kissing his collarbone, moving up to his neck and lips.

"Go where?" Athrun whispered huskily rolling me under him and fused our tongues in a battle.

"L.A," I breathed out lying still.

"Why am I going there again?" Athrun asked brushing his thumbs on my shoulder making me shiver.

"Athrun," I drawled out.

He sighed and said, "Noon."

I looked and noticed that he had about three hours and pushed him off the bed.

"I knew I shouldn't have told you," Athrun said getting up showing off his Adonis physiques making me go hot.

He stretched and as he went into the washroom he said, "You know I'd love your company in the shower, and we can have quickie."

I laughed and hugged him from behind and followed him into the shower. I was half surprised I hadn't thrown up yet.
