Athrun had dropped me off at his parents' place and I was thinking about whether I was going to throw up or not. The baby was still debating.

"Are you okay?" Athrun asked putting a hand on my forehead, "You look a bit green."

His hand moved down to my cheek and I shook my head and said, "I'm fine, just hungry."

"Yeah, mother's got brunch prepared," Athrun said as we walked up to the huge mansion.

"Yum food," I said half heartedly.

"I'll be back in two days okay," he said as a butler opened the door while another had already taken in my stuff.

I nodded still amazed at the place's magnificence. But Lenore's voice distracted me from my in depth inspection.

"Cagalli," she said giving me a warm hug, "I haven't seen you for days."

I smiled and said, "But you just saw me yesterday?"

"Is that a ring on your finger?" she said, "So my son did finally ask the question."

I nodded looking up at Athrun, who looked so happy just at the mention of our engagement.

"Yes mother," Athrun said giving me a look of love and said, "I have to go now though."

Lenore gave her son a kiss on the cheek. Athrun kissed me on the lips, hugged me and then left saying, "I love you."

It was the best good bye a guy could ever give me. Simple and sweet.

Then Lenore and I talked all afternoon. While she was setting up brunch, baby took the perfect time to act up and I threw up then, unnoticed.

Athrun called me in the evening that he had arrived. I was sleeping on the couch after watching some television.

"How's the future like?" Athrun asked.

"Huh?" I said and then realized that he was in L.A, "Oh, very inactive."

"Really so I'll be sleeping soon?" he said, "It's only about 5 in the evening there."

"I'm lazy and bored," I said as an explanation.

"Did I wake you up?" he asked

"No," I said yawning giving my lie away easily.

I heard Athrun laugh as he said, "I miss you already."

"Only now?" I said mockingly, "I missed you as soon as you left the house."

Athrun said, "I bet you were too busy with my mother to miss me."

I laughed and said, "Actually you might be right."

"Anyways I'm visiting your kids tomorrow," he said.

"My angels," I said, "Aww take a picture for me."

"I will," he said, "I know our kid will have one wonderful mother."

I felt my heart beat fast hearing his words.

"Later of course," he said with a laugh, "Don't freak out."

"You don't want kids now?" I asked hiding the fear in my voice.

"Well," he said, "I don't want to rush you or anything. Plus with that guy on the loose it wouldn't be such a good idea," jokingly.

I was chilled and I felt water fill me eyes.

"But Cagalli, I love kids," he said, "It really wouldn't matter to me honestly when I get one."

I relaxed at that.

"But right now we shouldn't be concerned about children anyways," he said, "You've been a bit off lately, health wise and you should work on getting better. I'd help you if your brother didn't force me here."

"Now don't blame Kira," I said, "The guy is an angel."

"And a brilliant actor too," he said, "He fooled you yesterday didn't he."

"Yes," I said rubbing my neck, "I was actually hurt by what he said."

"I'll be sure he apologizes," he said, "If I finish all my stuff tonight, I think I can be home to you tomorrow evening instead of the day after that."

"Really," I said excited.

"Just for you, I'll do it," he said.

"I love you," I said.

"Love you too darling, now I better get to work then," he said, "You head to bed and get some sleep okay."

"Okay bye," I said hanging up. Lenore came back to fetch me for dinner. After eating and cleaning up I went up to my room and slumped onto the bed and just slept. All night I had been tossing and turning with nightmares. This resulted, me into waking up extra early to puke. I felt horrible and achy. My head was swirling and I was disorientated. I was going to call Athrun, but it was way too early to even do that. It was about 2 am where Athrun was.

I snuggled onto the bed for a few minutes trying to get some sleep. After many unsuccessful attempts I got off and went to make some food for my baby. After some egg and toast washed down with orange juice I went to read a book outside. Getting bored a while later Lenore woke up and upon seeing my tired state was appalled and whipped up something to help me relax and sleep. She stroked my head like a mother and I slept till way after noon. I knew that she knew what exactly was wrong with me because before I fell asleep I heard her whisper, "Athrun will be very excited."

Athrun had called me a few times and Lenore explained to him that I was sleeping. I talked to him for about five minutes when he was with my angels. I managed to talk to a few of them that were still there and then the line got cut.

"Cagalli honey," Lenore said, "Do you want to get out of the house for a while?"

I nodded eagerly and said, "I'll go anywhere."

"Well we need to get you a dress for the Oscars," she said, "You think you can survive a bit of dress shopping?"

I nodded and said, "Just a bit."

We went to a few stores and I found a dark chocolate coloured dress. It featured a taffeta and lace in a slim A-line silhouette. It was vintage in styling and classic in features with an elegant crystal embellishment adorning the lace bodice. The lace hemline richly finished the style. Lenore loved the dress as soon as she saw me in it. I had just changed back when I saw a person in a mask hit Lenore with a bat on the back of her head. I screamed rushing over to her unconscious form and I heard a shot fire as the store clerk fell.

"I found you," the guy in the mask said.

I took that as a cue to run. I hid in the huge store and heard the guy yelling for me to come out I dialled 911 to come to the place I was and at that moment Athrun called and just as I was about to say something I felt someone grasp my hair. I screamed loudly trying to punch the guy.

"Here you are little lady," the said grabbing both my arms and efficiently tying them, "Mr. Serain has been impatiently waiting for you."

"Mr. Serain can go to hell," I said still secretly holding my phone. Athrun was being good and quiet or he wasn't on the phone at all.

"Well time to go," he said, "Would you like to be blindfolded or unconscious?"

"Neither sounds good," I said.

"Okay blindfold it is," he said. He heard the sirens and said, "You little bitch."

"I didn't do anything," I said.

"Well you'll be my escape ticket then," he said gripping my around my abdomen.

"You mind loosening the grip," I asked

"If you don't shut the hell up I'll knock you out," he said.

I closed my mouth.

I looked for an opportunity to run but as soon as I found one, I felt a hard pressure on my shoulder blade or neck, wherever it was and saw black. I briefly woke up in the back of a moving van. I was tied and I couldn't see anything I don't know how, but I felt my phone in the sleeve of my arms hidden by my baggy hoodie. It probably slipped in when I fell. Realizing in shock about my fall I felt for my baby. Though it was most likely too small to feel anything but I felt a presence somehow. I had always felt its presence. Though before I never knew what it was, it was like a little weight in me. I felt my baby and relaxed. I had to get away and out.

I looked around the van to see heavily tinted windows and saw police cars rushing around. I lifted my head with difficulty my neck feeling soar and broken. I let out a few tears of agony. I felt pain all over.

Though I tried difficultly to stay awake, it was impossible and I was in the world of darkness once more.

I was somewhere cold next. My body was shivering and I was sitting on a chair tied, my head leaning forward. I lifted it up with difficulty and looked around. I was in some sort of warehouse. How novel-like? I was rolling my eyes. Yunna was never a normal person was he.

I moved my arms and noticed that they were a bit loose. I mentally cheered and tried to get to my phone, which I still had. I clicked a few buttons trying to get it back to the main menu and after pressing the back button long enough I pressed two and moved the arrow down three and pressed call. I covered the ear piece as someone was coming in.

"Finally awake?" the guy said in a mask, "You've been sleeping for a long time."

"How long?" I croaked out.

"Two days," he replied, "And you're a popular person did you know that?"

"No," I said plainly wincing as I felt a bruise on my jaw.

"Boss was just about to wake you up," he said relaxing on a couch in front of me, "Would you like some food?"

I was thinking only about my baby that was probably hungry and felt tears fill my eyes.

"I can get you a sandwich?" he said shrugged. I nodded.

He called someone and a girl came in giving the guy a kiss and gave me bits of the sandwich, which I ate hungrily. She looked at me with remorse.

"Don't expect anymore from me then that," he said gruffly to me as the girl gave me some water.

"Thank you," I said.

"He's only doing this for money," the girl said, "He has our kid to feed."

The guy gave the girl a look and I smiled at her.

"I told him you're," she paused looking at my abdomen to me and then frowned, "I'm sorry we can't get you out."

"It's okay," I said, "I'll be out soon."

"Yes," she said smiling, "Athrun Zala?"

I nodded and said, "He'll find me."

She smiled and said, "He seems to be finding us like a piece of cake."

I just nodded.

"Boss has been pissed about that," the guy said.

"Well," I said, "I wouldn't blame him. Psychopaths are crazy."

The door opened and Yunna stalked inside giving me a look.

"Cagalli darling, long time no see," he said.

"Really," I said, "It's felt like a very short time."

"You two can get out," Yunna said to the guy and girl, "You're payment is in a briefcase. You can get it from my secretary."

The two left giving me looking of worry but Yunna closed the door and locked it behind them.

I had a bad feeling about this.

"I told you I'd get you," He said approaching me.

"Well obviously that happened," I said sarcastically.

"Well Cagalli, you won't be so spiteful after I impregnate you with my seeds," he said.

I froze at his words and felt fear. I was helpless at the moment. I immediately started struggling with my bonds as he moved swiftly and grasped my shoulder. I was moving the chair so much that it fell on it side and I was knocked out.

"Damn I guess I'll cut your clothes off," he said.

I shook and cried out, begging him to stop. I managed to free the hold on my hand, as my sweater was torn off. I slapped the guy and crawled to the door. I felt my head slam onto the door as I banged on it screaming for help.

I couldn't breathe for a moment at when he went on me. I pulled on his hand, but he hit my head again and getting frustrated kicked me lethally in the stomach. I just had the feeling that I lost my child. I just knew.

I gripped my stomach sobbing and crying out loudly as the door burst open and I was knocked to the side of the wall in a ball. I felt someone kneel beside me and I yelled out crying for my child.

"Cagalli?" I heard a waver in a familiar voice.

I looked up to the sad emerald eyes and whispered out, "B-b-baby."

I felt him touch the hand on my abdomen gripping it lightly.

"He killed it," I said sobbing over again.

I felt his cheek touch mine as he gathered me in his arms and rubbed my hair. I heard yelling and firing in the background and Athrun covered me like a shield.

"You're bleeding," he said touching my forehead and wiping the side of my mouth. I remained unresponsive.

"I," I said flatter in my voice, "I'm sorry."

"We have to get you to the hospital," Athrun said kissing my forehead. I was in an ambulance and rushed to the hospital.

"My head," I murmured holding Athrun's hand, "It hurts."

"That's because you're bleeding darling," he said, "I love you."

"No," I said, "You hate me."

"I love you Cagalli," he said firmly.

"I killed our baby," I said, "You have to hate me."

"I didn't even know we had a child," Athrun said.

"I just found out," I said tearing up, "a few days ago."

Athrun looked down and said, "I shouldn't have left you."

We both were quiet, grieving.

At the hospital I was bandaged up and cleaned up of the blood from everywhere. I was taken into the ER as my shoulder was slightly fractured and they had to operate on my inflamed uterus. I knew nothing would ever be the same again.
