UC 0095
2 years after the 2nd Neo-Zeon War, things were relatively peaceful where Haman and Jorgan lived, to start they built an glass/log style cabin that took an entire year to built to replace the rusting Hizack huts that were there previously. Jorgan although keeping his location an secret to protect his lover managed to get an job as an boiler repairman which he was becoming very proficient at.
Shiro and Aina were starting to interact with the outside world more, their son was only an year away from graduation and Shiro had turned himself in to Feddie authorities (as he took advantage of the Feddies restructuring following the Neo-Zeon Wars) was spared from punishment and was assigned to train Feddie MS recruits in an nearby base (although he kept Haman and Jorgan's location an secret to protect their family) and Aina had become an cook at an nearby restaurant which she worked part-time.
Only Haman remained at home which was for her own protection as both Jorgan, Shiro and Aina all knew that the Federation would begin to raise suspicions even if Haman went under disguise for an outdoor job, so she worked from home, after self learning how to computer programme for an year, she had began to work on making MS simulators for computers under an alias.
One Weekday in the Heagan household
Johnny would wake up around 6:30am and would immediately run to his parents room to wake them up, usually by jumping up and down on their bed until they both woke up and they would rush downstairs to make breakfast, over time Jorgan knew what everyone's favourite breakfast dish was.
Johnny: Cereal and fruit
Haman: Pancakes and Cream with strawberries
Jorgan: Pancakes, bacon and maple syrup
After making 3 cups of orange juice, Jorgan sat down at the dinner table.
"How is everyone doing this morning" said Jorgan
"I'm doing good, Jorgan" said Haman
"I'm doing good today" said Johnny
"Good to hear, how's the flight simulator going Haman" said Jorgan
"It's going well, still trying to figure out how to make it more exciting, I've got the gameplay sorted, just need to think about the story and stuff" said Haman
"Ahh I hope you get it completed, you seemed well versed in programming now" said Jorgan
"Well with you at work and Johnny at school, I had been looking for something to do after we built this house and well programming flight simulators could give me that old thrill of being an pilot again" said Haman
"When will the simulator be finished" said Jorgan
"Not sure yet, still working on many bugs and stuff" said Haman
"Are you making an video game, mom" said Johnny
"Yeah, although it is very hard to make" said Haman
"You'll get the hang of it" said Jorgan as he and Haman exchanged an brief kiss
After finishing their breakfast, Jorgan and Johnny would get changed before Jorgan would take Johnny to school before going to work, whilst Haman would get to programming the flight simulator using both an computer and an Amiga.
Later that day
Jorgan had just finished his last boiler repair job of the day, he entered his car and headed towards the school to pick up Johnny from school and after heading to the cafe that the two went to before heading back home which is when Jorgan saw someone that was wearing an Federation Uniform and sunglasses.
"It's been an long time, Jorgan" said the person
"Lance, what are you doing here" said Jorgan
"I need to speak to you" said Lance
"What is this about" said Jorgan
"Have you seen or heard of an man named Full Frontal" said Lance
"No, other than on the news" said Jorgan
"Very well, has Haman had any contact with any Zeon remnants" said Lance
"No she's moved on from that years ago" said Jorgan
"Ok, it's just we are aware of an new Zeon leader Full Frontal trying to fill the power vacuum left by Char's disappearance" said Lance
"I see your still working in the Federation" said Jorgan
"Yeah, although since the 2nd Neo-Zeon war, I have more time off as Zeon have become more of an guerrilla force, thus allowing me to spend more time with my family, I also had to deal with Neo-Zeon's POW's with the most significant being Nanai Miguel who was Char's 2nd in command whom ended up getting prison" said Lance
"Lance can I ask you an question" said Jorgan
"Sure" said Lance
"Are you and the Feddies still trying to hunt Haman" said Jorgan
"I've covered your tracks and location so the Feddies wouldn't know where to look so I'm not, as for the rest of the Federation there currently restructuring their forces so they have bigger concerns, but I'll give you an piece of advice" said Lance
"What is it" said Jorgan
"Make sure that Haman isn't seen by any Federation forces and when she does, make sure it's in disguise and under an alias" said Lance
"She works from home a lot on flight simulators using an computer and an Amiga, she has an alias and has blonde hair, her alias is Natasha Radan" said Jorgan
"Fair enough, I am assuming that is you and Haman's son over there (points at Johnny)" said Lance
"It is, Johnny this is your Uncle Lance, Lance this is Johnny" said Jorgan
"Nice to meet you Johnny" said Lance
"Nice to meet you, Uncle Lance" said Johnny
"Let me guess, you named him after your favourite Cobra Kai character" said Lance
"You guessed well" said Jorgan
"You loved that show, in fact I remember your 18th birthday, you wanted to try Coors Light Beer because it was on that show" said Lance
"Yeah I still love that drink, although haven't had it in years" said Jorgan
"Makes sense, considering you've been hardly in contact with the outside world" said Lance
"Yeah your not wrong, it's only recently that me, Haman, Shiro and Aina all have jobs" said Jorgan
"I hear Shiro is doing well in the Federation training MS pilots, what are Aina and Haman doing" said Lance
"Aina works as an cook at an restaurant and Haman makes MS Simulator video games under an alias" said Jorgan
"All fairly normal lives then" said Lance
"Yeah, what about you, how's life at home been for you" said Jorgan
"Well I have had more time to spend with family now that the Neo-Zeon threat has dwindled massively, Jane, Tom and Lyla are doing fine, in fact Lyla is going to university next year" said Lance
"Ah congratulations to her on that" said Jorgan
"Uncle Lance, I've got an question" said Johnny
"What is it, Johnny" said Lance
"Do you hate my mom" said Johnny
Both Jorgan and Lance were thrown off by the question, Jorgan knew that Lance had spent almost an year to try and hunt Haman down when Haman was pregnant with Johnny. As for Lance he felt uncomfortable answering the question, on one hand Lance still hated Haman over the whole 1st Neo-Zeon War and its consequences, but on the other hand Johnny was Lance's nephew and if he told Johnny that he hated Johnny's mother, Lance knew that Johnny would not want to speak to him.
"Hate is an strong word, more that your Uncle Lance and your Mom have differences over things and don't see eye-to-eye" said Lance
"Ahh I see" said Johnny
"Look, I've got to go, I've got to head back home or Jane is going to question where I've have been" said Lance
"Ah I see, maybe you should come visit every now and then" said Jorgan
"Maybe over time, still kinda awkward considering the whole Shadow Squadron thing 6 years ago" said Lance
"Time moves forward, gotta keep up if you want to stay on the ride" said Jorgan
Lance chuckled before leaving the cafe
"Let's head back home" said Jorgan
Jorgan and Johnny went back into the car and drove off back to their house
"Dad" said Johnny
"Yeah Johnny" said Jorgan
"Why does Uncle Lance and Mommy don't get along" said Johnny
"It's a long story, let's say in the Neo-Zeon wars many years ago, your mom and your Uncle Lance fought against each other" said Jorgan
"Ok" said Johnny
Both drove along back to their house where Haman was there to greet them.
"Hello you two, how was your days" said Haman as both Jorgan and Johnny went to hug her
"It was an good day, I managed to improve more boilers than ever today, got an good days work done" said Jorgan as him and Haman kissed
"That's good to hear, how was your day at school Johnny" said Haman
"It was good, I made lots of new friends" said Johnny
"That's great to hear Johnny, who's cooking tonight, me or you" said Haman
"Not sure, I cooked last night and you cooked the night before" said Jorgan
"Shall we check the cooking rota" said Haman
"What's an rota" said Johnny
"It's an schedule of things, your mother likes everything to be organised and structured or she has an hissy fit" said Jorgan to Johnny
"I heard that" said Haman as she punches Jorgan in the arm
Both looked at the Rota which said 'Takeaway'
"It's takeaway night, I would love to have KFC, I hear they got the new Triple Chicken Burger" said Jorgan
"I fancy an Indian Curry, I hear the Indian near here do an very good Chicken Tikka Masala" said Haman
"Johnny, what do you fancy" said Jorgan
"McDaniel's, McDaniel's" said Johnny
"Looks like we all want different options, we should do draw straws" said Jorgan
"Very well" said Haman as she got out the draw straws
The draw straws were cast and Haman celebrated as she had an shorter straw than Jorgan, however her joy subsided when she saw that Johnny drew the shortest straw.
"Looks like we are having McDaniels then" said Jorgan
Jorgan set off to get an McDaniels before bringing it home to eat together as an family
December UC 0095
Christmas time had arrived and that meant their was lot of an excitement around in the air
Like every other year since UC 0090, Jorgan started playing Christmas songs early in September which Johnny liked and Haman to joke that it was too early.
During Halloween, All 6 of them (Haman, Jorgan, Shiro, Aina, Johnny and Norris) had an Halloween party with Jorgan dressed as Frankenstein, Haman as an Vampire, Aina as an Zombie, Shiro as an Werewolf, Norris as Michael Myers and Johnny as Batman.
November came and went fast as Jorgan and Haman celebrated Thanksgiving (as Jorgan was American) with an turkey that Jorgan managed to buy with his wages.
Then came Christmas time, advent calendars were immediately in vogue as soon as the month began which Jorgan got 3 for himself, Haman and Johnny.
Jorgan had also began to decorate the log cabin with a lot of Christmas decorations which began to annoy Haman when Jorgan put too many decorations to the point where they could barely move around the cabin which led to Haman instructing Jorgan on which decorations could stay and which ones had to go.
Early in the month Jorgan (who had the day off) received an letter in the post
"Who could this be" said Jorgan to himself as he opened the letter
Letter
Dear Jorgan
I was wondering considering Christmas is around the corner if you and your family would like to come over to mine for Christmas time.
I along with our family would like to see you again and you can bring both Haman and Johnny.
I have an pack of Coors Light with your name on it
From Lance
Jorgan was an little torn if he wanted to go, on one hand he had missed his family and bar Lance, he hadn't seen any family members that weren't his lover Haman or son Johnny. But on the other hand he had suspicions that it was an trap by the Earth Federation to capture Haman which was something that Lance would definitely implement.
Two weeks earlier
Lance and Jane were going over the guest list for their annual Christmas dinner.
"My side of the family checklist has been completed, now its your turn for the guestlist for your relatives" said Jane
"My father and his new wife" said Lance bluntly
"Are you sure that's all you want to invite," said Jane
Lance sighed as he sat down on his dining room chair and put his glasses on
"You should invite them" said Jane referring to Jorgan and his family
"I don't know" said Lance
"Lance, Jorgan is your brother, you should reconcile your relationship with him, regardless of who his lover is" said Jane raising her voice
"But Haman was Supreme Leader of..." said Lance before Jane interrupted him
"I don't care, look whenever you like it or not, Haman and Jorgan are part of your family and who are you to judge considering your dad married Ceclina Irene who was an former secretary and mistress of Gihren Zabi, I feel we need to mend that bridge" said Jane with her voice raised
"Fetch my letter writing kit, I know where Jorgan lives so I'll send it by mail," said Lance
"Look I just value life especially after all these wars and the loss of my brother, so I just want a Christmas to see our family united once again," said Jane
"I understand where you're coming from" said Lance as he begins to write the letter
Back to the present
"Haman, I just received a letter from my brother," said Jorgan
"What does it say" said Haman looking worried
"He wants to invite us all over to his for Christmas" said Jorgan
"Do you think you can trust him" said Haman
"Not sure, it does say he wants to invite all of us, but my brother did try and hunt you down 5 years ago" said Jorgan
"Do you think it's an Federation scheme to capture me" said Haman
"Well I bumped into Lance when I picked up Johnny and he seemed friendly to both of us" said Jorgan
"I feel this is your choice, I'll support you, but there is an risk considering Lance's position in the Federation" said Haman
"I'll consider it, but I want to make sure your protected as I don't want anything bad happening to you, especially from the Federation" said Jorgan
Haman hugged Jorgan and said "Thank you Jorgan, but I feel that it's an decision that you should make considering it's your family"
"Haman, can you please pass me my letter writing equipment" said Jorgan
Haman got Jorgan his letter writing kit to respond to Lance's letter.
December 22nd UC 0095
Jorgan, Haman and Johnny said their goodbyes to Shiro and Aina before driving to the airport, Jorgan had his old Earth passport whilst Haman (under her Natasha Radan alias) and Johnny got new Earth passports.
They headed over to the terminal where they had to get an flight to Texas which would be an long flight.
The 3 of them boarded an plane to head over to Lance's and Jorgan's hometown.
"Johnny, remember this is an long flight, so I want you to behave" said Haman
"Ok, I will" said Johnny
"Wow, they've got built in flight TV's with loads of shows" said Jorgan
"It is an long flight" said Haman
The plane took off and after it was midair, the in flight TV's came on.
"How long is this flight" said Johnny
"Should take roughly around almost an day" said Haman
The flight was an long one, Haman and Johnny watched the airplane TV's for half of the flight before Jorgan fell asleep on Haman's shoulder, Haman spent the rest of the flight looking around to make sure their weren't any Earth Federation spies which to her surprise their weren't any.
The plane landed and soon Jorgan, Johnny and Haman were taken through an private terminal where he immediately met up with Lance
"It's been an small while Jorgan, it's good to see you" said Lance as he hugged Jorgan
"Good to see you too, Johnny" said Lance
Lance then looked at Haman, there was still unresolved tension between the two as Lance still held an grudge as he couldn't forget her actions in the 1st Neo-Zeon War. Haman sensed Lance's grudge and uneasiness around her, she felt an mixture of shame and sadness with regards to how he felt and she had hoped to make amends for her past.
Lance shook Haman's hand and then proceeded to take Jorgan and his family to his car where they drove to Lance's house.
Lance's house was an large ranch in the desert of Texas, it was roughly an 15-20 min drive from Arlington and Dallas, it had an main building as well as various stables and farm buildings.
"This is my home" said Lance
"Wow it looks nice, how could you afford this" said Jorgan
"My Federation Admiral salary of course, I moved into it early last year" said Lance
All of them walked into Lance's mansion where Jane, Lance's wife greeted them.
"Good to see you Jorgan, it's been so long since I last saw you" said Jane
"Yeah, it was before the Gryps War" said Jorgan
"Is that your son" said Jane spotting Johnny
"Yeah, his name is Johnny, he was born January UC 0090" said Jorgan
"Hello Johnny, I am your Aunt Jane, good to meet you" said Jane
"Good to see you" said Johnny
Jane then made eye contact with Haman which led to an awkward silence for a around a minute before Jane said "Good to see you Haman"
"Good to see you too, Jane" said Haman
All of them went to the living room where Lance turned on the TV.
"Hey Johnny, wanna go meet your cousin Tom," said Lance
"Yeah" said Johnny as Lance took Johnny to meet Lyla and Tom
After around 2 minutes, Lance had returned and sat on one sofa with Jane and the other sofa sat Jorgan and Haman.
"Do you two fancy an drink" said Lance
"I'll have an Coors Light, Haman do you fancy anything" said Jorgan
"Do you have wine" said Haman
"Red or White Wine" said Lance
"Red Wine, please" said Haman
Lance went into the kitchen and fetched an Coors Light, an Brandy and Two Red Wines.
"Coors light for Jorgan, Wines for Jane and Haman and Brandy for me" said Lance as he sat down
"Welcome to mine and Jane's household, I hope you both feel welcome this Christmas time" said Lance formally
"It's been an long time Lance, last time we were fighting each other in MS" said Jorgan
"Yeah it was, I would say right before your son was born" said Lance
"Same day, actually" said Jorgan Awkwardly
"Hey Jorgan, Jane, can you leave the room for an minute" said Lance
"Sure" said Jane
Both Jorgan and Jane left the room leaving Lance and Haman.
"Look I'm going to admit this, it was hard inviting you and Jorgan to come over this year," said Lance
Haman looked down and said "Yeah, I know why"
"Yeah, I fought against you during the 1st Neo-Zeon War, I remember you being a tyrant and wanting to bring back Zeon no matter the cost, even if you had to drop a fucking colony in Dublin, so what is your agenda, do you actually love Jorgan or are you using him as PR for your Zeon agenda" said Lance angrily
"I do actually love Jorgan and I actually haven't had anything to do with Zeon since I was overthrown in UC 0089, I believe the end of the War was," said Haman
"So, what have you been doing since January 17th UC 0089" said Lance
"I crash landed onto Earth after my final battle against Judau at the Battle of Axis and I ended up landing in a jungle before Jorgan took me in and gave me something that I never had in Axis or Neo-Zeon," said Haman
"What was that something," said Lance
"Love and friendship, he was kind to me when I was feeling down and he listened to anything I wanted to discuss or speak to him about and then eventually we fell in love and I gave birth to Johnny and since then we been an family, both of us trying to learn from the mistakes of our past, mine as an Neo-Zeon and Jorgan as an Titan" said Haman
"Fair enough, have you had any contact with any Zeon remnant faction" said Lance
"No, I lost contact with Zeon after the war and Jorgan helped me move on from it, plus I've been isolated from both factions in years so I wouldn't of been able to, plus if Char saw me, he would probably have me killed" said Haman
"Ok, I need to you to do one more thing and I will let Jorgan and Jane back in the room" said Lance
"What's that" said Haman
"Apologise for what you did during the First Neo-Zeon War" said Lance
"I am really sorry for the whole war and the trouble that it has caused, I feel the consequences of my actions as an Newtype and it has haunted me some days which is why I'm glad Jorgan can be there for me and Johnny at times when I mentally have to take an break" said Haman
Lance smiled before saying "You can come back in now" as Jorgan and Jane came back in the room.
"Did you two settle your issues" said Jane
"Yeah we did, now we can focus more on the future" said Lance feeling relieved
"By the way Jorgan, your not the only one in your family dating an ex-Zeon" said Jane
"Oh no, don't tell me she's going to be there" said Lance who face-palmed
"Don't complain, you invited her along with your father" said Jane
"Wait, dad is dating an ex-Zeon" said Jorgan shocked
"Yeah, after mom died after the Gryps War, Dad met an former Zeon officer called Ceclina Irene..." said Lance
"Ceclina Irene, former Secretary and possible mistress of Gihren Zabi" said Haman
"Yep that same one, she was apparently not living far from where he was and by some luck through an dating site, they met around UC 0091-92 and have been together ever since" said Lance
"I thought Gihren would of given her an sizeable estate considering she was his favourite mistress as well as being his personal secretary" said Haman
"Because Zeon lost the war, she was actually captured not long after the war finished and the assets that the Federation couldn't get their hands on was stolen by Gihren's son with another mistress known as Glemy Toto, someone that you might be familiar with Haman" said Lance
"Yeah, Glemy was the one who betrayed me and lost Neo-Zeon the war" said Haman as she gritted her teeth
"Yeah, Glemy claimed something about being Gihrens son and as Ceclina was only an mistress, Glemys claim won out," said Lance
"So what has Ceclina been doing since the One Year War" said Jorgan
"She spent 5 years in a Federation prison as the Federation suspected that as she was Gihrens Secretary, she surely knew a thing or two about Gihrens plans and intentions, she then just became a secretary from her release in UC 0085 to the present day in Texas, working for a major oil company that assists the Earth Federation and then she met dad in UC 0091-92," said Lance
"Why did you facepalm as soon as you mentioned Ceclina" said Haman
"Because she can be quite annoying, someone that likes things to be very organised," said Lance
"How did she end up with dad, considering he is generally disorganised," said Jorgan
"I feel that they are a perfect match, ever since they've been together, Ceclina helps out Mike in many ways, for example all of his building tools are neatly organised, and they seem happy with each other" said Jane
"Even so, I still miss mother," said Lance
"What happened with mother," said Jorgan
"She died not long after you disappeared, she was given news from a Federation Liaison Officer that you had died fighting Karaba forces and she had a heart attack and died not long after," said Lance
"Oh, so if I didn't disappear, then she wouldn't have died" said Jorgan looking down
Haman comforted Jorgan by placing her hand on Jorgan's
"Don't look at it like that, you were just unlucky in that battle and besides you managed to carve out a new life for yourself, also Dad is happy as well, yeah he was sad when Mum died and you disappeared, but he and his new wife are doing well" said Lance reassuring Jorgan
"I see, have you told Dad that I'm back here for Christmas," said Jorgan
"I kept it a secret, you reappearing is my Christmas present to him," said Lance
"Fair enough, so what's the plan then," said Jorgan
"As you 3 have had a long trip, today (23rd as it took almost a day for Haman and Jorgan to fly to Texas) is just settling in at my place, Christmas Eve, we are all going around Grandpa's briefly and then we are picking up Dad and Ceclina from their and then partying the night of Christmas Eve before everyone opening presents on Christmas Day and then we have the big Christmas turkey followed by film" said Lance
"How has Grandpa been," said Jorgan
"He's doing well actually, despite his old age, he managing to keep fit and is fairly active," said Lance
"That's good to hear, last time I was there, he was mourning Grandma's death," said Jorgan
"Yeah, time has surprisingly been kind to him, when we go to Grandpa's, it is the only time I advise Haman not to come," said Lance
"Why not," said Haman
"Because he is very racist towards Spacenoids, it took time for him time to get along with Ceclina who nearly cried when she first met him," said Jane
"How did dad not end up like him, I don't know," said Jorgan
"He did rebel a bit against his father, granted Grandpa does and still watches Earth First News," said Lance
"That racist thing, that's still on the air," said Jorgan
"Yeah, and being old, he is kinda hard to convince that Spacenoids and Earthnoids are similar to each other" said Lance
"Couldn't you convince him," said Haman
"Tried, he is very stubborn, and it took time for him to warm to Ceclina, I don't feel he would treat you well at all," said Lance
"It will be okay Haman; Jane are you going to be here when me and Lance go up to see Grandpa," said Jorgan
"Yeah, I will be here," said Jane
Soon footsteps could be heard downstairs and soon Lyla appeared in the living room.
"Ah Good Afternoon, Lyla, good to see you," said Lance
"Afternoon" said Lyla who appeared to have just woken up
Lyla looked around and immediately turned her attention to Haman Karn
"Haman Karn" said Lyla sternly
"You must be Ple-Two's sister," said Haman
"Your kinda correct, I am Lyla Heagan, formally known as Ple-Twenty," said Lyla
"You were one of the Puru clones that Glemy brainwashed into fighting me and my loyalist forces," said Haman
"I was, although I didn't see as much fighting as other Ple-clones, so I was lucky," said Lyla
"Ah I do apologise for the whole sending your Ple-clones out to war thing, Glemy was more responsible for it as he was in charge of the entire cloning programme, and he used it to rebel against me towards the end of the war" said Haman
"Yeah, but you did still authorise the production of the Ple-clones for combat" said Lyla
"I also the one that allowed the Ple-clones to roam and play to avoid being used as just tools of destruction which Glemy wanted" said Haman
"I do forgive you for the war as I was being influenced by Glemy at the time and I was lucky to not see as much as action as my fellow Ple-clones which most didn't make it" said Lyla
"Did you know any Ple-clones that also made it out" said Haman feeling guilty
"I think Ple-Twelve survived and Ple-Eighteen ended up with the Gundam Team when they went to Jupiter from what I heard" said Lyla
"The Gundam Team, that must of been Judau's squadron" said Haman
"It was, although I was one of the very few Ple's not to interact with them as I was deployed in an different sector of Axis where Lance found and then adopted me as his daughter" said Lyla
"I'm glad you made it out alive" said Haman
Lyla smiled before sitting down on the armchair in-between the two sofas
One day later (Christmas Eve)
Jorgan and Lance were driving up to their grandfathers to pick up their father and step-mother.
"Ah, dad and grandad will be so happy to see you again Jorgan" said Lance
"Yeah, it's been an long time" said Jorgan
"Can I ask you an question, Jorgan" said Lance
"Fire away" said Jorgan
"How did you and Haman end up together" said Lance
"Well it all started around early UC 0089, when Haman's MS crash landed near where I was and after mending her back up, we got talking about various topics and soon fell in love with each other and not long after Johnny was born" said Jorgan
"I'm surprised an former Titan like you ended up with the Ghost of Zeon" said Lance
"Well I felt bad for her, when I first found her Lance, she had broken legs, an slight concussion, she looked like she had barely eaten or slept in days and I patched her up and we would talk for days and nights about anything and both of us knew we were likely to be in the same predicament with the Federation at the time so we just lived together and eventually I believe Aina told me that because of my kindness and optimism, Haman had began to develop feelings for me and then one Easter we revealed them and then an few months after Johnny was born in January UC 0090 and we have been an family ever since" said Jorgan
"Ah I see, so when did you meet Shiro and Aina" said Lance
"They lived on the other side of the river" said Jorgan
"Have you bought Haman and Johnny's presents yet" said Lance
"I've bought a lot of presents for Johnny which is mostly stuff from the shows he likes and two for Haman" said Jorgan
"What did you buy, Haman" said Lance
"I saved up to buy her some really expensive Core 3 Wine, in fact it was one of the last bottles that got preserved following the First Neo-Zeon War and I also got her this" said Jorgan as he pulls out an small box revealing an silver ring
"An engagement ring, when are you going to propose" said Lance with an bit of an smile
"Tomorrow, Christmas Day" said Jorgan
"That is really nice Jorgan, as Haman may still be on the Federation's crosshairs, I may advise to marry in a private ceremony" said Lance
"Yeah, documentation is going to be an nightmare though considering who I'm marrying" said Jorgan
"Relax brother, I'll help get the marriage certificate done and make sure that your family is protected" said Lance
"Thanks Lance" said Jorgan
Lance smiled as they arrived at their Grandfathers house.
"Looks like we are here" said Lance
"Still looks similar to how I remembered it" said Jorgan
"Yeah, he refused to change its exterior and its interior even if me and dad have complained how old-fashioned it looks" said Lance
Jorgan and Lance walk in to find their Grandpa sat on his armchair and both their Dad and Ceclina sat down on the sofa together.
"Hi Lance...l" said Mike as he saw Jorgan for the first time in years
"Jorgan, is that you, I thought the Spacenoids put you out of pasture" said Jorgan's Grandpa
"Yeah, I managed to survive and live out in hiding for an few years before resurfacing" said Jorgan
Mike and Jorgan's Grandpa got up to hug Jorgan who they hadn't seen in an long time.
"It's been so good to see you" said both of them
"Good to see you both" said Jorgan
"Please, sit down, Ceclina please move for my esteemed grandson" said Jorgan's Grandpa
"Dad, stop being an dick to Ceclina, Ceclina this is Jorgan, my youngest son, he had been missing for years, Jorgan this is my wife and your new step-mom Ceclina " said Mike
"Nice to meet you Ceclina" said Jorgan
"It is so good to meet you Jorgan" said Ceclina
"Take an seat Jorgan, we've got so much to catch on" said Jorgan's Grandpa
Jorgan took an seat
"So what have you been doing all these years" said Jorgan's Grandpa
"Crash landed near an jungle, fended for myself for the next 2-3 years and then found some new people who took me in" said Jorgan
"See Lance, that's what we call an true Feddie hero right there" said Lance
"What, going missing for years" said Lance
"He fought for the glory of the Earth, he is an true hero, none of these Londo Bell weaklings could compare to what the Titans were" said Jorgan's Grandpa
"Aren't Londo Bell just an nicer version of the Titans" said Lance
"The Titans were the only hope against the Spacenoid Invaders" said Jorgan's Grandpa ignorantly
"How has it been Jorgan" said Mike
"It's been good, mostly been living in an self-built house in the Jungle, met an girlfriend and have been living there ever since" said Jorgan
"Girlfriend" said both Mike and Jorgan Grandpa as there ears perked up
"What is she like and when are we going to meet her" said Mike
"She's at Lance's, however as she is an Spacenoid, so I didn't bring her here" said Jorgan
Mike and Ceclina laughed at Jorgan's Grandpa, whilst Jorgan's Grandpa got up from his armchair, fuming
"Your dating an Spacenoid" said Jorgan's Grandpa raising his voice
"Yes I am" said Jorgan
"I warn you all about their antics and invading the Earth, yet both my son and Grandson are dating Zeon" said Jorgan's Grandpa
"Not all Spacenoids are Zeon" said Mike
"I think we all better run to the car" said Lance
Lance, Jorgan, Mike and Ceclina all ran to the car as Jorgan's Grandpa chased them out of the house
"He's more senile than I remember" said Jorgan
"Yeah, thankfully you didn't tell him who you were dating" said Lance
"Who's Jorgan dating" said Mike
"Shall I tell him" said Jorgan
"You might as well" said Lance
"I am dating Haman Karn, former leader of Neo-Zeon" said Jorgan
Mike and Ceclina were shocked, Mike's son an former Titan was dating Neo-Zeon's former Leader.
"Haman, the same women who did a Colony Drop on Dublin and tried to rule Neo-Zeon through fear" said Mike
"Yep I said the same thing Dad" said Lance
"I do remember Haman, she was Maharaja Karn's middle daughter, her father had to send off his eldest daughter Marlene as an mistress to Dozle Zabi to avoid being targeted as an Deikun Loyalist" said Ceclina
"Did you meet her before" said Jorgan
"Yeah, her family were known amongst the Zabis and I met Maharaja before the One Year War, he was a solid political figure as well as an decent Admiral, he had 3 daughters, Marlene, Haman and Serrana" said Ceclina
"Wait, Haman has sisters" said Jorgan surprised as Haman had never told him about her sisters
"Yes, Marlene unfortunately died at the end of the One Year War, as for Serrana, she according to the Federation database served as Axis Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs before defecting to the AEUG towards the very end of the First Neo-Zeon War" said Ceclina
"Oh I see, I wonder what Ceclina is doing now" said Jorgan
"With regards to Serrana, she joined Earth Federation Intelligence as the Federation found her inside knowledge of Zeon valuable and was apparently given an good salary as well" said Lance
"How come then she never detected Haman then, considering the relation" said Jorgan
"Because firstly she joined after the Shadow Squadron debacle and secondly I knew she would of sent in ECOAS to deal with Haman" said Lance
ECOAS were the Earth Federation's SWAT Special Forces and were generally hired to kill Zeon's and other dissidents or to turf out Spacenoids without Earth permits.
"So why would Serrana sent an ECOAS squad to deal with her sister" said Jorgan
"Because she doesn't want to be reminded of her past, she was apparently a moderate on Axis and after the war, she was recruited into Federation Intelligence under an alias around March UC 0090 and she wasn't initially trusted at all and was not allowed in space during the 2nd Neo-Zeon War. She ended up having a brief affair with someone around early UC 0094, but he left her whilst she was pregnant with his child, she currently lives in Houston with her daughter," said Lance
"How far is Houston from Dallas," said Jorgan
"According to maps, 3 Hours and 35 minutes" said Ceclina
"You're not thinking what I think you're thinking," said Lance
"I'm thinking of getting Serrana and her daughter over for Christmas as one of my Christmas presents to Haman for Christmas, like out of a Christmas movie," said Jorgan
"Isn't that a bit risky, Ceclina could report Haman to the Feddies and it is very far" said Lance
"Get with the Christmas spirit, Lance," said Jorgan
"Idealists, you can't argue with them" muttered Lance to himself
3 Hours and 35 Minutes Later
Lance drove south from Dallas to Houston, he had visited Serrana's once before as she had invited all of the Federation Admirals nearby to do a briefing on the restructing of the EFF Military in her office, so Lance knew where her house would be.
"Be careful how we approach this," said Lance
Lance got out of the car and knocked on the door
Serrana answered, she was still in Federation uniform which had a black cape as she had been working Christmas Eve due to backlog.
"Hi Serrana, it's good to see you this Christmas time," said Lance
"Hello Admiral, what brings you here, aren't you on Christmas vacation and why have you brought your dad, Ceclina Irene and who's this" said Serrana pointing at Jorgan at the end of her sentence
"Ah, this is Jorgan, my younger brother, he had been missing for years" said Lance
"The one that served in the Titans" said Serrana
"Thats the one," said Jorgan
"Why are you here" said Serrana
"There is important Federation information that is over at my place, but we need you to collect it as its for-Federation Intelligence eyes only " lied Lance
"Did you forget to deliver some papers again, Admiral Lance" said Serrana
"Yeah, and I need you to collect them from my place," said Lance
"Fine, but I am taking my daughter with me as I am looking after her" said Serrana
"Thats fine, my car can fit 8 people in it," said Lance
"Titan, I'm entrusting you to carry the baby seat into Admiral Lance's car for me" said Serrana to Jorgan
Serrana went back inside with Jorgan and Lance and gave Jorgan the baby seat which he put in Lance's car, whilst Serrana carried her daughter Mizuki into the car and onto the baby seat in which she was asleep.
"Who's ready to head to Dallas," said Lance
Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea began playing on the car radio which was looped as it was a calming song that could keep Mizuki asleep for all the journey
2 hours and 55 Minutes later
The journey had gone rather smoothly as everyone had to be quiet to ensure that Mizuki stayed asleep.
"I'm bored of this song, it's been playing for nearly 3 hours, can I switch it" said Jorgan quietly
"Sure, make sure it's not loud or you could wake Mizuki up" said Lance quietly
All I want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey begins playing which caused Mizuki to wake up and start crying
"Jorgan" yelled everyone in the car
"I wanted a different Christmas song," said Jorgan
"Still airheaded as usual," said Lance
40 Minutes Later
The car arrived back at Lance's house after a long and towards the end, a tiring trip as Mizuki wouldn't go back to sleep.
They all got out of the car and then Lance handed Serrana a blindfold
"Why are you giving me a blindfold" said Serrana
"It's a Christmas surprise" said Lance as he handed Jorgan a blindfold and clicked his fingers
"It better be relevant to what you bring me here for" said Serrana as she hands Mizuki to Mike and Ceclina and blindfolds herself as Lance leads her to the living room.
Jorgan had also blindfolded Haman as well as he moved her off her chair and facing Serrana.
"Blindfolds off on the count of 3, Jorgan, 1, 2, 3" said Lance as the blindfolds came off.
Haman and Serrana glared at each other for a bit, Serrana looked surprised as she assumed her elder sister was dead, the other emotion was a mixture of sadness and happiness, she was happy that her sister was alive which meant that she had family besides Mizuki that was still alive. On the other hand she knew that if the Federation got their hands on Haman, then she would be as good as dead as the Earth Federation would still try her for her role during the First Neo-Zeon War and if the Federation even suspected that Serrana let an highly valuable Zeon fugitive slip through her fingers, she could face severe consequences regardless of her situation.
Haman on the other hand felt a mixed range of emotions. Serrana was her sister and Haman felt relieved that she was still alive after all of the wars. On the other hand Haman knew that Serrana had defected to the AEUG during the final days of Haman's Neo-Zeon and with her Federation Uniform being of high rank and importance, Haman felt a little wary around her presence.
"Serrana, is that you" said Haman
"Yes it is, How did you make it out alive following the war" said Serrana
"I crash-landed on Earth following my forces defeat and I ended up meeting Jorgan over there and we started an family after that" said Haman
"So you've been hiding from the Federation since UC 0089" said Serrana
"Yes and I assume your now an higher ranking Feddie now" said Haman
"I work for Federation Intelligence and Lance, I assume Jorgan is your brother right" said Serrana
"Yes he is, I covered there tracks because I wanted my brother to move on from the Titans and start an family" said Lance
"Look it is Christmas and Haman is my sister, so I won't immediately send an ECOAS squad to arrest Haman, but I do need to ask her a few questions" said Serrana as she pointed to an another room
"Your going to interrogate her" said Jorgan
"Just an few questions" said Serrana
"Jorgan, I will be back in a bit" said Haman
Serrana and Haman enter Lance and Jane's kitchen where Haman sits down, whilst Serrana grabs an bottle of wine and two wine glasses
"Fancy an glass of wine" said Serrana
"Yeah" said Haman as Serrana poured herself and Haman an glass before sitting down
"Right, I have an few questions to ask you, sis" said Serrana
"Go ahead" said Haman
"Have you had any involvement with any Neo-Zeon or anti-Federation movements since your disappearance on January 17th UC 0089" said Serrana
"No, I did hear of Char's Zeon through the TV, but I haven't personally made contact with any Neo-Zeon movement" said Haman
"Ok, next question, what have you been doing since UC 0089" said Serrana
"I have been stranded on Earth mostly, my MS landed near where Jorgan was and we've been together ever since" said Haman
"So you've been in exile, that is correct" said Serrana
"That is correct" said Haman
"Very well, final question, any reason your in the house of an senior Federation Admiral, is it for personal or intelligence reasons" said Serrana
"Me, Jorgan and Johnny were invited here as Jorgan and Lance are brothers, Lance wanted to see his brother whom he has barely been in contact with since Jorgan was presumed missing following the Gryps War" said Haman
"As for you, luckily for both of us I don't have to turn in my sister to the Federation authorities" said Serrana smiling
"Why are you even working for the Federation anyway" said Haman
"Because they offered me good pay as well as job security" said Serrana
"Even so, don't you remember when the Earth Federation tried to destroy Axis" said Haman
"Because we rebelled against them and yes they might be assholes at times, but I care more about stability as well as the safety of my daughter Mizuki" said Serrana
"Can I ask you an question" said Haman
"You may" said Serrana
"Where is Mizuki's father" said Haman
Serrana went silent for a bit before answering "He was an Earth Federation Officer, as soon as I was pregnant with Mizuki and he was given a reassignment to Londo Bell, he left me with an note saying that fraternizing with the Ghost of Zeon's sister would hurt his promotion chances"
Haman jaw dropped when she heard of Mizuki's origin, Haman knew her legacy wouldn't be a good one when it came to the history of Earth, but to have left an impact on her sisters life to the point when she was raising her daughter as an single mother did sadden her a bit.
"I am so sorry for everything" said Haman
Serrana smiled and said "There are many people I know that wouldn't accept your apology, however as your part of my crazy family, I accept your apology and lets have an happy Christmas" as she raised an glass with Haman
The rest of Christmas Eve was spent with everyone getting to know each other as well as many Christmas games and drinks.
5am on Christmas Morning
Haman and Jorgan were asleep when they were woken up as an result of Johnny jumping up and down on their bed screaming "ITS CHRISTMAS"
"What time is it" said Haman half-asleep
"Its 5 o clock in the morning, looks like we are getting up" said Jorgan also half-asleep
Both Haman and Jorgan sat up as Johnny ran over to get his Christmas stocking
Johnny opened his stocking presents before Jorgan and Haman got up and waited for everyone to wake up before heading downstairs with everyone to open their presents, Johnny got action figures and playsets from his favourite show M.A.S.K The New Adventures , Lyla got mostly new clothes as well as stuff preparing her for college, Tom got an American football (Lance was a big American Football fan and wanted to get Tom into it early) as well as a miniature Texas Longhorns Football Jersey as well as various toys from his favourite shows. Mizuki got baby toys from Serrana.
"Now its time for the grown-ups to open an presents, I will go first" said Lance
Jane and Jorgan got individual presents, whilst Haman and Serrana got a joint present
Jane got an nice necklace, rumoured to be very expensive, Jorgan received an Cobra Kai Gi as well as an pack of Coors Light Beer and the Karn Sisters got an bottle of strong red wine to share.
"A Cobra Kai Gi, How did you manage to get one" said Jorgan
"Found it online" said Lance
"Cool" said Jorgan
"I'll go next" said Jane as she gave presents to Jorgan, Haman and Lance
Jorgan and Haman both received sunglasses, Jorgan's were Aviators, whilst Haman's looked more like a visor. Lance got an expensive Rolex watch
"Thanks Jane, you look cool in those sunglasses Haman" said Jorgan
"Aww, thanks Jorgan" said Haman
"Haman, your next" said Jane
Haman gave presents to Jorgan and Lance, then she gave everyone an another present which was the same shape and size
"Here is what I've got everyone, Jane your present should arrive in a bit" said Haman
Lance got a new shaver, Jorgan got a Lockett with a picture of him and Haman.
"As for your present Jane" said Haman as she pressed an button on a remote
A Robot drove in with an tray which had wine and Busch lager, the robot said "Merry Christmas Jane" which also appeared on an screen on its chest.
"Wow, how were you able to get this" said Jane surprised
"I was kinda inspired by repeats of Rocky IV on the TV" said Haman
"Thanks Haman" said Jane
"As for the presents you all have, you may open them now" said Haman
It was Haman's new flight simulator game that she had worked so hard on which Jorgan congratulated her and gave her an kiss.
"Last but not least, Jorgan" said Lance smiling
Jorgan gave Lance and Jane presents before saying that he wanted Haman to open the last present he had got for her.
Lance got a new computer, whilst Jane got a hand carved sign which said 'Welcome to the Heagan Household"
"Thanks Jorgan for the presents, now Haman are you ready for your present" said Jorgan
"Yeah" said Haman
"Close your eyes" said Jorgan
Haman closed her eyes as Jorgan got down on one knee and pulled out an ring box which caused Jane, Lance, Lyla and Serrana to smile in happiness.
"Open your eyes" said Jorgan to which Haman opened her eyes to see Jorgan proposing to her.
"Will you marry me" said Jorgan
Haman put her hands over her mouth in happiness and excitement, there were tears of joy in her eyes as well as her cheeks red as an cherry.
"Yes Jorgan" said Haman as she hugged and kissed Jorgan which everyone smiled and clapped.
"Jorgan I do have an question" said Haman
"What's that" said Jorgan
"How can we get officially married if the Federation are still hunting me down" said Haman
"I've got an solution to that, I will marry you and Jorgan under your alias Haman, I can submit all of the details to the Federation Martial Service and can declare you Husband and Wife" said Lance
"I'm happy with that" said Jorgan
"Same" said Haman as her and Jorgan kissed again
That Christmas saw many drinks and food as well as many Christmas games, by the end many agreed it was one of the greatest Christmas's they ever had
