a/n: Holy Crap! It's been... months? I am so sorry my dear readers. I got swallowed up with lotsa lotsa term papers and work. You see, I am a graduating student (hopefully) sooo yep. I have tons of things to do. T_T I end up typing either when I'm at work or I actually have a free time from school so I apologize for the delay. But anyway I give you the next installment sooo I hope you guys like this chapter.

Where we left of? Here's a recap.

Athrun, Cagalli and their friends when to party party out in the restobar and went home drunk. They (Athrun and Cagalli) wake up with their parents invading their house and assuming Cagalli is pregnant. HMMMM

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN GUNDAM SEED/DESTINY

"P-pregnant?! Cagalli?!"Athrun blinked several times as his mother nodded at him with a huge grin plastered on her face. She looked like a kid on Christmas morning, ready to tear up her presents open.

"I am so happy...so really happy!" Lenore squealed in delight and held her sons hand. "We're finally going to have a grandbaby in nine months time!"

"We need to fix the guest room then, right Lenore?" Patrick said as his wife nodded her head

"M-mom...Dad"Athrun stared at his parents in disbelief. Cagalli wasn't pregnant. Right? He pondered on it for a few seconds and concluded he and Cagalli hadn't dont anything yet. "Cagalli isn't pregnant"He said,deadpan

Lenore glared at Athrun as if he had said something wrong. Athrun slightly backed away and laughed nervously"uhmm...right?"

His blue haired mother shook her head and placed her hands on her hips. "Nonesense! When we arrived here, we found Cagalli in the bathroom throwing up and complaining she was dizzy."

"That's because.."Athrun tried to speak but was immediately cut of by his mom.

"and we all know these are all early symptoms of-"

"Mom, that's because-"Athrun opened his mouth and shut it close again as he saw his mother glaring at him.

"Athrun Zala! Stop talking when I'm saying something here! I taught you to be respectful didn't I?Listen to what other people have to say first!"His mom chided and her frown grew deeper. "Cagalli is pregnant." She concluded as Patrick scratched his head because he couldn't calm his wife down.

"But that's because she was so drunk last night that she's probably experiencing a hangover" Athrun thought rolled his eyes at his mom and leaned back on the couch. "Geez, don't blame me later when your Grandmother fantasies sink faster than Titanic"He muttered to himself.

"There, there Cagalli!" Via soothe Cagalli's back and looked at her worriedly. "Are you feeling a little better? Do you want me to help you back to the bed? What happened to you?"

The blonde shook her head in refusal and wiped her mouth with a clean towel. "I..I'm fine mom. Just a little sick. You guys didn't have to come over here"

Via looked worried and patted her back lightly. "That's nonsense! Of course we want to visit you two! I'm worried. I haven't seen my baby in weeks already!"She faked a sob. "And when I arrive here, you were rushing to the bathroom."

Cagalli sighed, her mom would probably get the best award for acting if she continued to act like this. She groaned lightly as she felt another knotting sensation down on her stomach. She hurriedly made her way back to the sink and empty her stomach of what remains in it.

When she was done she returned back to the room and realize the clothes she was wearing for the first time on the full length mirror that standing at the corner of their pristine white room. "Oh, I'm in Athrun's shirt?" she mumbled to herself as she sat down on the edge of the bed and slowly sipped the glass of water Via handed her. As she sipped the liquid she tried to recollect all the events that had transpired the previous night.

Previously that night, Lacus and Miriallia were able to successfully bribe her into wearing a dress and she would have enough money to buy the slim laptop she had been eye-ing for months, they danced the night away, Miriallia forced her to drink and she got drunk, continued dance the night a way, argued with Athrun...a lot, got carried like a sack of rice on Athrun's shoulder and thrown in the car like a pillow and woke up with a splitting headache and a hideous hangover.

They were the only people in the house prior to their parents arrival and she was already dressed in his home clothes and she didn't have any recollection of what so ever sleeping on the bed dressed up in a over sized shirt...which means?

"Zala!" She screamed on top of her lungs alarming the family on the first floor of their house. Almost immediately the three of them arrived at the room curious at her outrage.

"Yes, hunny-bunny" Athrun asked innocently as he leaned on the door frame while Lenore aww-ed at the endearment.

Cagalli shuddered at the name and wanted to march over Athrun's side to kick him but their parents were there so instead she grabbed him by the collar and dragged him inside the bathroom. "We'll be right back" She said abruptly as she popped her head out from it and close the door again.

She could hear a faint squeal from Lenore and Via scolding her lightly for being too happy. Lenore screamed out a "Have fun inside the bathroom" And the younger couple tried to ignore it.

"Why are they here?" She hissed at him as Athrun leaned on their marble tiled sink.

"I dunno? When I woke up they're already here" He replied. Cagalli crossed her arms and sighed. Slowly, the blonde was slipping in her own bubble of thoughts when she felt eyes staring at her. She looked up at the young man standing just a few feet from her with his trademark smirk.

The blonde raised a brow at him. "What's so funny?"

Athrun smirk turned into a huge teasing smile, his eyes glinted a hint of playfulness as he mimic Cagalli and crossed his arms on his chest as well. "I was just admiring how pretty you look with my t-shirt on" he said as he winked at her.

Immediately, Cagalli's cheeks flared up and slapped Athrun on the face as realization dawned at her.

Athrun Zala did change her clothes.

"Pervert!"

Lenore tried her best ignore the hand print her son was sporting on his left cheek. She was betting all her expensive hybrid roses that Athrun said something witty to Cagalli earning him that bright hand print on his cheeks. Watching Cagallli and her son had always amused her. She had always thought they were match made in heaven. Like two opposites drawn together. But Cagalli thinks so otherwise.

It was more of the match made in hell. She still hated Zala despite figuring out how he cared for her last night. She started to deeply regret her decision on signing their marriage contract. She had been tied down for all her eternity with a perverted idiot whom she calls the Mr.-Popular-but-all-he-does-is-flirt because despite being tied down to her he still acts like a bachelor and flirts at every single woman he sees in his radar. Whereas Athrun thinks she is a challenge. Cagalli wasn't your usual crazy teenage hormonal girls who was always fawning and running after him. He knew she hated him but he being hated by her. She was unique.

All five of them sat quietly in a restaurant near their house. Via suggested they eat out and actually spend time with them on a bright sunny sunday afternoon. Chinese cuisine was being fancied by the blonde and everyone else agreed except for Athrun who wanted some Italian cuisine for lunch. But it was four against one.

Scoring? Cagalli, one, Athrun, Zero.

"So...Cagalli how's school doing?" Lenore asked as she beamed at her blonde daughter-in-law seated across her.

Cagalli, who was busy stuffing her plate with dim sums looked up and smiled at Lenore shyly. "It's...uhm great." She said. "I'm doing great so far" She forced a small laughed.

"Liar" Athrun mumbled. "She failed the history exam yesterday" He told his mother and suddenly groaned in pain as Cagalli stomp on his feet.

She laughed scratched her head, shyly. "Oh..yeah. I was feeling a little sick when we had took the exam. So I kinda failed." Cagalli lied, truth was she forgot all about it because she was busy watching the latest season of the Walking Dead and stayed up for days just to watch every single episode of that hacking-slashing-shooting the Zombies and running for your dear life and save humanity show.

Via rolled her eyes at her daughter knowing she was lying and could already guess what she was up to. A mother's knows their children best but she kept silent and forked her salad and ordered a glass of mango juice.

Hearing the word sick, perked Leonor's interest and she decided to talk. "Sick? We're you feeling dizzy that time?Did you eat anything wrong? What medications did you take? Did Athrun take care of you?"Her retired nurse ego started to kick into gear mode.

The blonde was caught off guard. "Uh...no. Not really, Mum" She replied and averted the watchful eyes of her mother. "Oh, the shrimp dumplings taste really delicious!" She exclaimed as she attempted to change the topic.

Her mother-in-law smiled and offered her another dish. "Eat up, my dear. You need to eat properly especially now that you're expecting."She said enthusiastically.

Via chocked on the lettuce, Athrun nearly spewed his juice and Cagalli stared at her Lenore bewildered. She just had to be so bold about it.

"Expecting?" She asked. "I'm not expecting another guest, right Mum?" Cagalli asked, earning Athrun to facepalm beside her and a giggle from Leonor.

"Sometimes I wonder how the hell did you end up in Class B, tigress" Athrun muttered only for Cagalli to hear.

Cagalli casted a hateful glare at Athrun and dumped the plate of dim sum on Athrun's plate. "Actually I'm not hungry anymore, Athrun-dear can you be a dumbling and eat it up for me. It'll go to waste if we don't eat it you know"She looked at him with puppy eyes and a threathening smile.

"Aren't you expecting a baby soon?" Lenore finally asked and her emerald eyes started to sparkle in delight.

Via, Cagalli's mother was unable to speak. Her baby is pregnant. Her baby girl was going to have a baby and she didn't even know. Her baby was going to be a mother and her baby will no longer be a baby. "So you were actually experiencing morning sickness?! Oh my goodness I am going to be a grandmother?!"Via nearly screamed in horror. "I am too young to be a grandmother and not that I don't want a grandson but..."she rambled on.

"Whaaat?!" She looked at her mother and mother-in-law as if they've gone coo-coo. "Who's having a baby?

"YOU ARE!"The older females chorused and pointed at her.

Cagalli pointed at herself and asked them again. "Me?" Lenore and Via nodded their heads, answering her question.

"How far along are you?"Via asked with tears in her eyes. "I'm..we're going to be grandparents! We should start preparing for the baby. What about baby stuffs?""

"Woah, woah, woah! Hold it up!" Cagalli held up her hands at them while Patrick and Athrun remained silent and watch the scene unfold before them. "How am I pregnant?"

"Darling, don't tell me you don't know how-"

"Mother, before you start taking about sex education again. I already now how babies are made and they aren't from a baby factory carried by sea gulls in the air like you told me before." Cagalli said cutting her mother short.

Athrun chuckled at her and earned another kick from Cagalli.

"Shut up Athrun." She hissed at him and turned back to the two older ladies "And I am not pregnant"

"What?! But you were-"

This time, Athrun who had just recovered from Cagalli's attacks under the table spoke up and sighed. "She had a hung over, Mom. We and our friends went out to a little party last night and she got really drunk" he explained looking at Lenore and Via who both looked aghast and as if their dreams were crushed, crumbled and stomped on until they were pulverized.

"So we're not having bouncing little baby Athrun or Cagalli's anytime soon then?"

"Nope!" Both Athrun and Cagalli said and popped 'P' at the end.

After their lunch date, their parents decided to leave the happily married couple back in their home with hopes of having grandchildren someday.

Cagalli sighed as she sat down on her bed slash couch and groaned out loud. "Dear Haumea, why did we have weird parents"

"Tell me about it" Athrun sighed and sat beside her. "Sorry, Mom was a little... you know, crazy" He apologized softly. "She really wanted a baby, you know" He said in a hopeful voice and looked up at her. "She was so excited this morning, Cagalli"

Cagalli's hands flew up her torso and covered it as if she was naked. "What are you implying?" She asked as her eyes narrowed at him.

He raised his hands up in defense and chuckled. "Relax, I won't force you into something you don't want to do. Cagalli" He laughed and leaned his head back. "Seriously, Do you think I'm that kind of guy"

"Yes!"

"Well, that was a fast answer" He sighed again and pursed his lips. "Actually, I used to have a baby sister" He started and fiddled with his fingers.

She gasped and looked at Athrun curiously "Really? Where is she?I haven't seen her" She asked as she lowered her guard down and leaned slightly towards Athrun.

"She..."Athrun glanced up at the ceiling then to Cagalli with sad eyes. "She died when she was just a baby. Mom was pretty devastated." He softly said. "I could have been a big brother"

Something tug in Cagalli's chest and couldn't help but shed a few tears at his story."T-thats... Thats" Cagalli sniffed. "Athrun, I am so sorry" She wiped a few tears off her cheeks and sniffed." Why am I crying?" She asked out loud. Suddenly, laughter erupted from the young man and pointed at the sobbing blonde.

"SERIOUSLY YOU FELL FOR THAT?!" He looked amused. "Look at your face!"Athrun laughed as Cagalli suddenly turned bright red at his words "I never knew you are THAT gullible Cagalli. Hahahahah!"

"How dare you Zala?! WAS THAT A JOKE!?" Cagalli stood up on her feet and glared down at her husband who looked like he was going to die from too much laughter. He gasped for air and clapped his hands like a walrus on a stage. "HOW DARE YOU MAKE A JOKE LIKE THAT! THAT ISN'T FUNNY!" She screamed but Athrun ignored her as he continued to clutch his stomach and laugh at her. "Urghhh!" She screamed in frustration and kicked him on the shin.

"H-hey!" Athrun stopped laughing when Cagalli angrily stomped away from him and headed towards the kitchen. He followed her and grabbed her by the wrist, spun her to him and pull her into a hug.

Cagalli struggled free from his hold as he pressed her face on his chest. "Let go! You stupid jerk!"She muffled.

"I was just kidding. Sorry. Truth is...Mom loves babies. That's all." He said truthfully. "I just wanted to see how you'd react in those situations. Sorry. Cagalli" He whispered softly and hugged her tighter, his arms enveloped around her small body frame. "It was too much for a joke. I know. It's a bad joke."

She silently listened to his apologies and refused to hug him back. Athrun continued to apologize since she didn't respond to him and felt like she wasn't going to forgive him that easily. Knowing her, joking about how gullible she is would only add up to her list on "Why hate Athrun Zala" , something he saw scribbled on her notebook a few days ago. Well, the list would grow again if she learns that he peeked at her notebook.

"Don't get mad at me, hot potato." He pleaded "I promise I won't joke about it again. "

"As if." She mumbled "Let me go, Athrun" She said and push him away from her. "I'm going to get Athrun cooties if you continue holding me like this. Eww.." She pretended to dust her clothes and glare at Athrun.

Athrun chuckled and let her go. "You already have Athrun cooties, baby." He declared as he pecked a kiss on her forehead and made a run for it. He wouldn't survive the next day after what he did. He bet all his savings on it.

She blinked several times as she absorbed what happened before running after him screaming bloody murder.

Scoring? Cagalli, 1 Athrun, 2.
