Gundam SEED Fan Fiction / Gundam Seed Destiny Fan Fiction ❯ Destiny of Love ❯ instinct ( Chapter 16 )

Lacus was stunned. An inexplicable fear rose up in her at the sight of the woman that Kira was supposed to have broken up with the day she left. `What is she doing here? Kira didn't…' she thought but refused to think such horrible thought.

 

The woman standing before Lacus looked at her with contempt in her eyes. She looked the woman up and down as if sizing her up. “What the hell do you want?” she asked narrowing her eyes at the pink haired woman. She felt like the woman looked familiar but didn't really care.

 

Lacus felt rather nervous under the woman's watchful gaze. “Um… is Kira Yamato here?” Lacus asked nervously. It wasn't helping her that she was nervous about whether or not Kira did what she thought he might've done.

 

Fllay didn't answer. She just stood there half naked staring at the nervous woman before her. She looked at the baby and scowled a bit. `What the hell does this woman want?!' she thought as an evil gleam spread across her eyes. “Why yes he is. But as you can see, we are busy. So buzz off!” she yelled causing Lacus to flinch.

 

The beating of Lacus's heart was very intense at that moment. She didn't want to believe what was right in front of her eyes. She wanted to believe that Kira would never do this to her. “Please, I really need to speak to him,” she whispered hoping to find out the truth from him.

 

“I don't care what you want!' Fllay yelled narrowing her eyes even more at Lacus. “My fiancé and I want to be left alone!” she yelled with a smirk before slamming the door in Lacus's face.

 

Lacus's body shook under as she tried her best to suppress her tears. Despite that, a small tear managed to slide its way down her eyes. “Fiancé?” she whispered to herself refusing to believe it was true.

 

`Why wouldn't it be true? You kept him waiting. Did you honestly think he would wait for you forever?' her mind taunted her making her feel even worse believing that it was her fault that he did what he did. `To think that he would wait forever is nothing but a naïve hope.'

 

Holding onto Shiro tightly, Lacus turned around and immediately ran as fast as she could. `First I get beat by Trent and now this? Why can't I just find any sort of happiness?' she mentally asked herself never once looking back.

 

*****

 

Fllay smirked as she shut the door. `I don't care if she is or isn't the woman he likes. I will keep away anyone who would dare try and take him away from me,' she thought turning around. When she did, she was startled and jumped when she saw Kira down the hall staring at her in confusion. “Kira,” she said putting on a smile.

 

“What are you doing here Fllay? How did you get in here?” Kira asked taking a few steps towards the woman and towards the door. “Who was at the door?” he asked in a low voice. He thought that changing all the locks in the house would help but he now knew he was wrong.

 

Kira was woken up by the sound of the doorbell ringing. He admitted to himself that he was seriously thinking of just letting it ring. He then thought better about it and got up only to see Fllay close the door on whoever it was that was here.

 

Fllay didn't give an answer. Instead, she crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. “Something's wrong Kira! My key doesn't work anymore!” she said looking at him accusingly.

 

Glaring at her was all that Kira could think of doing. “There's a reason for that Fllay. It's because I changed the locks to keep you out!” he yelled making her flinch at his words. “Now answer my question. How'd you get in here and who was at the door?” he growled at finding his patience for Fllay running thin once again.

 

“What do you mean Kira? Why would you want to lock me out?” she asked intentionally choosing to ignore the two questions being asked. “We love each other so there is no reason for you to do this to me!” she said narrowing her eyes at him.

 

“We are not in love!” Kira said putting extra emphasis on love. “I made everything clear to you at Siegel Clyne's party. I am not interested in you anymore!” he yelled rubbing his forehead where a migraine was coming on.

 

“And I don't believe you!” Fllay yelled back through gritted teeth. “We had something special. You always told me how much you loved me and that you wanted to marry me! I highly doubt you can just drop those feelings all of a sudden!” she continued to yell instead of accepting the truth.

 

“I said all that because I had no clue what love actually was. All you ever did when we were together was use me to buy you things. Well guess what, it's over. I'm not going to let you manipulate me again! I found someone who loves me for who I am and not what I have!” the shouting match continued. “Now tell me, how did you get in here and who was at the door?!”

 

The fierce look in Kira's eyes actually scared Fllay a little. Never in all the time they were together had she seen him look that way. She could tell he was not going to take any bullshit right then. “I- I have no idea who it was. It was just some pink haired bimbo!”

 

The color immediately drained from Kira's face. “Oh no!” he yelled grabbing his shoes before rushing towards the door as fast as he could. He was stopped when Fllay grabbed a hold of him though. “Damn it! Let me go!”

 

The tone of his voice almost made her do that but she held on firmly and refused to let go. “NO! I'm not leaving or letting go until you finally come to your senses and take me back!” she yelled deciding to make sure he took he back no matter what right then.

 

Kira had enough by that point. He knew he was going to regret what he was about to do later but he was tired of her nonsense. He turned around and slapped Fllay. He immediately felt as if he was no better than Trent but Fllay was leaving him little choice in the matter. `I am not like him,' he thought as his body shook.

 

Fllay's eyes widened as a hand came up and lightly touched her red cheek. “Y-you hit me,” she whispered as she looked at him. She was unable to see his eyes right then since his hair was blocking her view. “How could you hit me?!” she yelled since no one ever had the gall to touch her like that before.

 

“I swear Fllay…” Kira started taking a deep breath to calm himself before he did it again. “If your crap made me lose her and my son, then I swear that you will regret ever crossing my path!” Kira growled out before turning and running out the door in hopes of catching Lacus before she got too far away.

 

As soon as Kira was out of the door Fllay collapsed to her knees. She had never seen Kira like that before. It both scared her and made her feel aroused. But most of all, she felt angry at what he just did to her.

 

`Son?!' she thought as she angrily looked at the door. `This is all wrong! Only I was supposed to! Then I would have access to one of the biggest fortunes in the world! That whore stole it all from me! She seduced him and took him from me!'

 

She now knew for a fact that was the woman he left her for. That was the woman that stole away everything she wanted. That was the woman that she would do anything to get rid of. `She has to be lying to him and I will prove it! This is hardly over Kira. You will soon see that I am the only one that can have you!'

 

Figuring that it would be best to leave right then, Fllay stood up and walked out the door and slammed it closed tightly on the way out. `If I knew this would've happened then I would've accepted his proposal! I needed to make sure there was no prenup though!' she thought getting in her car before driving away quickly.

 

*****

 

She ran as fast as she could. Tears blinded her so she had no idea where she was going but she didn't care. All she wanted to do was get as far away as possible before already crappy life got even worse.

 

She was still holding onto Shiro as firmly as she could. The little baby was crying obviously sensing his mother's pain and anguish. `Please stop crying. It's only making me feel worse!' Lacus thought as she blindly took a turn and continued to run as fast as she could.

 

She wasn't sure just how far she ran or for how long but Lacus finally came to a stop when the need to catch her breath became a bit too much to bear. She kissed her son's forehead to try to calm him down even if she herself found it impossible to do.

 

Composing herself a little, Lacus looked down the unfamiliar street. The sun was barely peaking over the horizon so the streets and sidewalks were still relatively empty. She knew she was lost right then. She wouldn't even be able to get to Athrun and Cagalli's house. Then again, she didn't know where it was in the first place.

 

Even if she wanted to, Lacus knew it would probably be impossible to find her way back to Kira's place. “What am I going to do now? I don't have anything besides Shiro anymore,” she said since she knew that she couldn't even go to her father's place since he probably still had no clue that she even left.

 

Lacus started to quietly walk down the streets before her. She was surprised that something as beautiful and busy as this country could look scary when it was all quiet and dark as it was at that moment.

 

“It'll be ok sweetie,” Lacus whispered to her crying son. She wasn't so sure about that though. She just hoped it would make her son happier. No matter how sad she was, if she could see Shiro happy then she'd be able to be happy if only for a little while. She felt that at a time like this she needed all the happiness that she could get.

 

As she walked, Lacus's head continued to keep turning to make sure that no one would try to sneak up on the two of them. `Where will we go? I don't have any money on me right now. I used the last of it for the plane and cab ride. If I use any of my cards to get money or buy things then he'll find me,' she thought with a frown while using her free hand to wipe away the tears that just wouldn't stop flowing.

 

Lacus came up to a bench and took a seat because she was tired both physically and emotionally. `I thought things would be great when I finally got to go back to Kira. Now it seems like things have just gotten a lot worse for me. Oh Kira, why couldn't you have waited a little longer?'

 

*****

 

Kira ran blindly taking turn after turn. He had no idea which way Lacus went so he didn't have a clue where she was. He was just hoping that he took the right turn outside of his house. `She finally came and then this happens!'

 

`Where are you? Please don't leave me Lacus!' Kira thought taking another turn only to see a dead end. He cursed his luck and turned around before continuing to run around in hopes of catching even the smallest glimpse of the woman he loved more than life itself and the son he wanted more than anything to see grow up.

 

It felt like he'd been running for hours but in reality it had only been for about twenty minutes. “Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!” Kira cursed loudly since he had yet to even catch a glimpse of his beloved. “Lacus! Where are you?!” he yelled out much to the annoyance of the people trying to sleep.

 

`Did you actually expect her to come to you that way? She's running away to avoid you,' his mind taunted as Kira fell to his knees and punched the ground. “Why did it have to turn out like this when she finally came back to me?” he asked no one in specific as a few tears fell down his face.

 

“I can't give up,” Kira muttered as he stood up and wiped the tears from his face. “I have to find her. I have to explain that all she'd seen and heard weren't the truth,” he muttered before continuing to run down the streets.

 

Turning another corner, Kira could've swore that he saw a few locks of pink hair turning into a park. In fact, it was the exact same park that the two of them kissed for a second time at and agreed to go on the fateful date that ended with Shiro being consummated.

 

He knew that if he didn't hurry then it would be all too easy to lose the two of them in there. The park was like a forest. There were trees everywhere that were good for hiding if people decided to go off the path. Lacus already had a head start so he was moving faster than even he thought he could move. `I just hope I wasn't seeing things.'

 

Despite his speed, it seemed to take longer than he thought to just reach the entrance that Lacus had taken. “Please don't let her have gotten very far,” he whispered as he ran not even stopping to breath.

 

Finally he caught sight of the unmistakable pink hair once again. “Wait Lacus!” he yelled and watched as she stiffened up for a second as if pondering if she should or shouldn't. That didn't last long though before she broke into a run again. “Damn it!”

 

Picking up his speed again, Kira ran after her and quickly gained up her since she wasn't able to run at full speed with Shiro in her arms. “Wait! Please listen to me Lacus!” Kira yelled as he finally caught up to her and ran in front to block her path.

 

Not even looking at him, Lacus immediately turned around and attempted to run the other way but Kira lightly grabbed her shoulder making her stop. “Don't touch me,” she whispered feeling her heart continuing to break at what she saw earlier.

 

Kira was breathing rather heavily but that didn't stop him from speaking. “Please just listen to me. It wasn't what it seemed,” he said hoping that she'd just turn around and look at him but she didn't even do that.

 

“Don't lie to me Kira,” Lacus whispered as her shoulders shook with her suppressed sobs. “I saw everything. I heard enough. Just leave me alone and go back to her,” he said in such a sad voice that it broke Kira's heart.

 

“I'm not lying Lacus!” Kira said a little louder than he meant but he refused to let her leave as soon as her got her back. “I don't even know how she was in there. I changed all my locks a few weeks ago to keep her out!” he yelled in a bit of a panic.

 

Negative thoughts were going through Lacus's head as she listened to him. She wanted to believe him more than anything right then but they still appeared and made more and more doubts. “Then how do you explain how she got in?” Lacus asked while staring at the ground.

 

“I honestly don't know. She must have made a copy of my key for the old locks since I'm positive that I took my key away after we broke up. I don't know how she got in this time since I only had three keys made for it. One for me, one for Athrun and Cagalli, and then the last was supposed to be for you,” he said in a soft voice after calming down a little.

 

Lacus didn't say anything after he finished. She honestly didn't know what to say. She had this feeling inside of her that he was telling her the truth but it didn't stop her doubts after everything she went through.

 

Before she got married to Trent, Lacus sometimes got the feeling that Trent was cheating on her. She always ignored it though telling herself that she was being paranoid while trying to forcefully convince herself that she loved him. She didn't want to make the same mistake again.

 

Lacus's heart was telling her that there was no reason to doubt Kira. She never got some of the bad feelings that she got about Trent. Kira was always so honest with her. He never gave her a reason to doubt her and she loved him even more for that. But all of her past problems just made her a bit hesitant right then.

 

Without even realizing it, arms wrapped around Lacus's neck from behind and pulled her into a tight embrace while she held onto their son. Her knees felt weak right then and she used all her strength just to remain standing up straight.

 

He never gave her a reason to doubt her and she loved him even more for that. But all of her past problems just made her a bit hesitant right then. “Why did she call you her fiancé?” she couldn't help but ask.

 

Kira didn't answer her immediately. He carefully pulled her towards a bench that was a short distance away from them. When he was sure she was seated he finally decided to answer her question. “I won't lie to you Lacus. Before I met you, I had asked her to marry me.”

 

The sound of those words made Lacus's heart feel like it was being pierced by a dagger. “What happened? Did she refuse and then you decided to use me to get over it?” she asked rather bitterly even though she knew that wasn't the case.

 

“No!” Kira yelled finding that response appalling but he somewhat understood how she was feeling. It was the same way he felt when he learned that she was pregnant and thought that it was Trent's. He was sure she was afraid, unsure, and thinking about every bad thought possible. “That was never my intention and I don't want you to think that!” he said kneeling before her.

 

“Then why would you do what you did? You loved her enough to ask her to marry you and then suddenly decide to leave her afterwards. What am I supposed to think?” she responded while hugging Shiro a little closer to her as if she'd lose him too if she didn't.

 

“Please just listen to me,” he said hoping she would let him explain. When she nodded her head he felt a bit of relief. “About three months before I saw you I asked her to marry me. she told me no and that she wasn't ready,” he said but left out that he felt that there was much more to her declining it than she put on.

 

“Then why did you go out with me? Are you angry at her or something? You had to have had some real feelings for her if you asked her to marry you,” she said hating the idea that he actually asked Fllay such a question.

 

“That's not it,” he whispered and took one of her hands in his own. “When I first saw you, you took my breath away. It wasn't that you were just beautiful but you just radiated with this kindness that immediately attracted me to you. The more I saw you and talked to you the more that feeling continued to grow. I never wanted anyone to be hurt. But all I could think about was you whether I was with you or not. My heart was always longing for you. If it was anyone else then I doubt they would've made me do what I did. But it was you. That was all I cared about,” he told her the words from deep in his heart. He was being truthful too. No one, not even Fllay, mattered as long as she was next to him.

 

Lacus was touched by his words. She found it impossible to detect even the slightest bit of dishonesty from him. “I'm sorry Kira. I just…” she said as she tried and failed to hold back the tears.

 

Placing a finger over her lips, Kira leaned in and captured her lips with his own. They still as soft as always but tasted a bit like salt because of her tears. He always saw that she was an emotionally strong woman but this reminded him that she was still only human and susceptible to her feelings. She always kept them bottled up. It was only a matter of time before they were let out again.

 

It was several minutes later when the need for air and a crying child broke their little moment. “You don't need to be sorry Lacus. Why don't we go back? We can talk about this a bit more at my place,” he said and she nodded her head as she wiped away the tears on her face.

 

Offering her a hand, Lacus took it and was pulled to her feet carefully. She immediately looked at Shiro and saw that he was finally stopping his crying probably because his parents weren't arguing again. “Do you want to carry him?” she asked and he nodded as he carefully took the child.

 

A great feeling of pride built up within Kira as he looked at the little boy in his arms. He still found it hard to believe that he had a son. He felt so happy that someone like Lacus was able to give him such a wonderful gift.

 

Lacus quietly watched as Kira and their son shared a moment with on another. She gave the two of them a small smile before going back to her troubled thoughts. She knew in her heart that Kira would never do that to her but it still didn't seem to stop the doubts that filled her mind.

 

Kira felt how troubled she was. Turning to look at her, he saw a small frown on her face. He knew that just a few words wouldn't be enough to completely quell the doubts that she had to be feeling. He knew that it would take time before she rid herself of those doubts. “Do you believe me about what I said Lacus?”

 

Staring at the ground seemed much more appealing to Lacus than answering him at the moment. “I want to but that doesn't change what I saw. I know you though and that's what matters to me most. My heart believes what you say. It's just that my life is a mess and I need time to sort everything that has happened to me.”

 

“We'll be here for you no matter what Lacus,” Kira said giving her a small. “Looks like I'm gonna need to change the locks again though. You won't be able to sort anything out if she keeps breaking in like that,” he said trying his best to lighten the tense mood that was around them.

 

Lacus couldn't help but let a few giggles loose at his words. That one sound coming from her mouth let her know that things would be ok. “I'm sorry that I got you into this mess,” she said smiling sadly at him.

 

“Don't be,” Kira said shaking his head. “It wouldn't be the first time this has happened. About three years ago we broke up for a short time. I tried to find someone else but she always chased off anyone who I tried to get close to. I don't know why I took her back or even why I proposed to her in the first place,” Kira said going through his mind what it was that he was thinking at the time.

 

“You wanted someone that you thought you could love,” Lacus answered for him. His nod confirmed what she thought. “I'm no better. We lived such lonely lives that we wanted nothing more than to find someone to love and cherish. Our loneliness clouded our judgment and we made a horrible mistake in the ones we thought they would be,” Lacus said understanding exactly how he felt.

 

At that moment Kira realized just how much alike their lives had always been. They both had hope that was shattered and a lasting sorrow that only the other could ever possibly get rid of. “At least now we don't have any reason to be lonely,” he said since they had each other and they had their son.

 

A true smile appeared on Lacus's face at his words. However, she was stopped from responding when she was pushed rather hard to the side by some unknown force. She fell over but threw out her bad hand to stop her fall. That was a big mistake as pain went through her at the pressure on the still healing wrist.

 

Surprise crossed Kira's face at the suddenness of what just happened. He quickly turned towards the source and a scowl crossed his face when he saw the familiar red hair of the woman he thought he once loved. `Apparently trying to ruin my life only once today wasn't enough!'

 

It wasn't just what she did but also what could've happened to his son as well. Had Lacus not handed him Shiro then his son probably would've gone down with Lacus and that would be a huge problem. Lacus could survive the fall but he seriously doubt Shiro could.

 

“What the hell is the meaning of this Fllay!” he yelled at the woman that was glaring down at the woman he loved the most. He immediately shoved Fllay out of the way and went to Lacus who was clutching her wrist which he just realized was wrapped in a bandage.

 

“Stay out of this Kira! This whore needs to learn her place!” Fllay yelled as she lunged at Lacus only to have Kira jump in-between them. “Move Kira! Can't you see that she's lying to you?! There's no way that bastard baby can possibly be yours!” Fllay yelled glaring down at Lacus.

 

Insult Lacus and you're in enough trouble with Kira. But to Insult Shiro as well, you'd have to be pretty stupid. “How dare you insult my Lacus and my son,” Kira growled out looking at the ground. He was tempted to hit her again but Lacus grabbed the back of his shirt and stopped him.

 

“Please Kira, it isn't worth it,” she said which seemed to have a calming effect on Kira which was what she was hoping for. She didn't want him turning into something he wasn't. She knew he'd feel no better than Trent if he did something like that. She guessed by the light bruise on Fllay's face that he already did. She wanted to stop him before he regretted doing anything like that again.

 

With her good hand, Lacus pushed herself off the ground and slowly made her way towards Fllay. Her clear blue eyes stared into Fllay's. A stinging feeling went through he face when Fllay suddenly slapped her but it affected her little compared to all the times she was hit by Trent.

 

“You sure have a lot of nerve you bitch!” Fllay growled out through gritted teeth. “What right do you have to come into our perfect lives and ruin the perfect relationship and then claim that this bastard child is his?!”

 

Lacus's face remained emotionless as she stared at Fllay. The before she could stop herself she brought her hand up and slapped Fllay. “Don't you ever insult our son like that,” she spoke clearly and calmly.

 

Fllay's eyes widened at the fact that she got slapped a second time that day. This time it was on the opposite cheek from the one that Kira gave her. “How dare you! No one hits me like that!” Fllay yelled attempting to attack Lacus only to be pushed back by Kira. “You don't actually believe her, do you Kira?” she asked looking a bit frantic as all her plans seemed to be going down rather quickly.

 

“I trust her with my life. She has never given me any reason not to unlike you,” he said keeping in front of Lacus so Fllay couldn't try anything. “Leave Fllay and don't come back. I never want to see your face again,” he said calmly so that he wouldn't do anything else he would regret.

 

“No! I won't leave Kira! You need to realize that she's only lying to you! It isn't your child like you think. Why don't you trust me on this? You've known me a lot longer than you've probably known her!” Fllay yelled as she stepped towards Kira while glaring at the baby in his arms not seeing any resemblance between the two of them because of her hate.

 

“You've never given me any reason to trust you. You lied while we were going out. You stalked me after we broke up. You've nearly cost me the two most important people in my life with all the crap you've been pulling,” he said before turning his back on Fllay and turned towards Lacus.

 

Everything that really happened earlier that day was very clear to Lacus at that point. You only had to see what type of person Fllay really was to know that she would pull that sort of stunt. “Let's go back Kira,” she said not wanting to have to deal with Fllay a minute longer.

 

“No! I won't let you take him away from me again! He's mine, not yours you bitch!” Fllay yelled lunging at Lacus again only to have Kira step in the way making her stop only a few inches away from him. “Why do you keep protecting her Kira?! Trust me when I say she's lying to you!”

 

Kira didn't respond he simply turned towards Lacus and handed her Shiro back who was getting fussy with all the noise. “I know she's not lying. Let me ask you a question Fllay,” he said in a quiet voice wondering just how to ask this. “When I asked you to marry me, why didn't you accept?”

 

Kira's question struck Lacus's interest. She wasn't hurt by it though because she knew he just wanted closure. He didn't love Fllay and Lacus could tell. He loved her with all his heart and that was what mattered.

 

The question also made Lacus think quite a bit. She knew the two of them dated for a few years before she came into the picture. Fllay obviously wanted Kira only for herself if only for the money he possessed. If she wanted money that bad than why not agree to marry him and ensure that it would be hers.

 

“Is that what all this is about?! I told you that I was ready though! Just give me another chance and I will gladly marry you Kira!” Fllay yelled hoping not to actually tell him the real reason and also that it would be enough but the look on Kira's face told her otherwise.

 

A frown crossed Kira's face at the words she spoke because he knew the truth about it. “You only said that long after I broke up with you. You only said it because you thought it would be all that I needed to hear to take you back but you were wrong then and you're wrong now. Now answer the question!”

 

Fllay flinched a bit as she tried to think of any reason that would be believable and not anywhere near the truth. “I told you then Kira. I just didn't feel ready,” he said in a way that made it clear that she was frantically lying.

 

Kira sent a glare in her direction because he instantly found the lie much easier than he did the first time. “You stalk me to the ends of the Earth with this impression that I only belong to you. Why not just marry me and ensure it?! So quit lying about you not being ready!” he yelled angrily.

 

There was silence as Fllay frantically searched her mind for an excuse but the last thing she wanted to hear came from the woman behind Kira. “A prenup,” Lacus muttered putting a lot of things together in her mind.

 

“You!” Fllay frantically yelled when the real reason finally came up. “This doesn't concern you in the least so stay the hell out of it!” Fllay yelled hoping that Kira wouldn't really consider it.

 

Much to Fllay's distress, Kira actually seemed to understand. Even more to her distress, Lacus started spilling just about everything that she was really thinking the time that he originally asked her.

 

“You didn't want a prenup,” Lacus said softly but loud enough for the two of them to hear. “Would you have made her sign one Kira?” Lacus asked and Kira just nodded his head. She then turned back to Fllay. “You wanted to make sure that there was no prenup so that you could take as much as possible when you left him.”

 

“Shut up!” Fllay screamed. The way she was acting made it pretty clear that Lacus had hit the nail on the head. “You don't know anything so quit lying to him like you have been! I'm not like you! I would never do stuff like that to Kira!”

 

“Enough Fllay!” Kira yelled silencing her. Her reaction was all her needed to hear to know the truth. “All the time we were together. All those things we did. They were only so you could line you pockets with my money?!” Kira asked growing angry at the mere idea of it.

 

“What?! Of course not! I'm not that kind of person!” Fllay lied seeing the remainder of all those years of hard work vanishing. “I'm not like her! She's obviously lied to you about that kid so that that she could take your stuff all for herself!”

 

“You're right, you're not like her,” Kira said in a quiet voice while taking some deep breathes to calm himself. “She's much better. She's honest and kind. The type of woman I always wanted. You were never that. She's my dream and you're my nightmare,” he said turning his back on Fllay before wrapping his arm around Lacus and started to lead her away.

 

“Wait Kira!” Fllay yelled after him but he never stopped. It was almost as if he hadn't even heard her or as if he didn't even exist. She then tried running after him but stopped when she noticed him tighten his grip around Lacus's shoulder.

 

`What has that bitch done to him?! She's polluted his mind! That got to be the only reason why he could actually believe that bastard baby is his! I have to get rid of her, but how?!' she thought searching her head for ideas. Good thing she didn't have any clue that Lacus was married or who she was married to.

 

Kira and Lacus just walked away and were glad that Fllay didn't follow them. They knew it probably wasn't the last time they'd see her but they figured that they'd be able to have a little bit of peace and quiet.

 

“Not my child my…” Kira muttered but decided against saying ass in front of his son. “Anyone with half a brain can see the resemblance,” he said making Lacus look up into his angry violet eyes. “I wouldn't even need a paternity test to know that he's my son,” he said wondering just how Fllay could say that.

 

Lacus hated seeing Kira like this. She didn't want to see him angry when they should be happy that everything has finally settled down a bit and that they were together. “Please don't get angry Kira. Who cares what she says as long as we know the truth,” Lacus said leaning into Kira slightly while lightly rocking their son to sleep.

 

Taking in a deep breath and then releasing it, Kira smiled at her words. “I guess you're right,” he said smiling at her before kissing her forehead. He then remembered something that troubled him. “What's wrong with your wrist Lacus?” he asked looking at the bandaged hand.

 

A silence passed over them as Kira waited for her to respond. “I hurt it badly… trying to escape. This is actually just one of the smaller wounds I had. I feel as if I was lucky to have survived,” she said trembling a bit at the memory that flashed before her eyes.

 

Kira gasped in shock at what he heard. He never wanted Lacus to get hurt that badly just so that she could come back to him. “But you look fine,” he said hoping that she was just joking.

 

“I've had several weeks to heal,” was her simple response. “I had to get out though. Things were getting too dangerous. Trent actually said he planned to have me killed,” she said and Kira gasped in shock again. “Had it not been for Eileen and Andrew then I know I probably would've been killed.”

 

“I knew it was a mistake to let you go back there!” Kira growled out being angrier at himself than anyone else for actually going along with it. He then turned and embraced her from behind tightly. “At least you're alive though,” he said shaking a little at the thought that his dream almost came true. `But he's not gonna be when I get my hands on him!' Kira thought trying his best to keep his anger to a minimum for the moment.

 

“I was so scared though,” Lacus muttered hanging her head as her arms tightened around Shiro ever so slightly. “I was so scared that I would leave Shiro in the hands of that man without me to protect him. I was scared that I'd never see you again,” she said taking a deep breath to calm herself.

 

“I don't blame you,” Kira said kissing the top of her head. “That is something that no one should have to go through. At least you don't have to worry about him now. You're here with me and I will make sure you're safe.”

 

Just his words were enough to help Lacus find a bit of peace with the situation. “I know. Shiro and I will be safe as long as we are with you,” she said with a smile as they finally reached the end of the park. Lacus was relieved that she didn't have to deal with Fllay for any longer. She wasn't sure what either of them would've done if Fllay decided to follow them.

 

It was silent between them as they walked the distance back to his house. Lacus started humming a tune half way through the walk. She did this in hopes that her son would be able to sleep a little longer after all that had been happening. She didn't sleep much during the plane ride or the time they were running from Kira.

 

Her tune made Kira loosen up almost instantly. He wondered if she'd be able to give him his song now that there wasn't a chance of her going back to that guy. he listened to the smoothing melody until it ended and she was assured that their son was sound asleep.

 

It was then that Kira remembered something that he'd forgot about up until then. “Hey Lacus,” he said turning her head away from looking at their son's sleeping face. “I have a bit of a surprise for you,” he said and her eyes lightened up almost immediately. “It's back at my place and I'm sure you'll love it.”

 

“What is it?” she asked looking happier than she had in a while. Her smile turned into a pout when Kira didn't answer her. “What is it Kira? You can tell me,” she said trying to look him in the eye but he avoided it with a smirk on his face.

 

“But if I told you, then it wouldn't be a surprise,” he said refusing to give in. He wanted to make sure that he could see the look on her face when she first sees it. It wouldn't be as fun if he told her about it beforehand.

 

The surprise he had in mind was something that he'd been working on for weeks. Whenever he found some free time he would work on it. He wanted it to be a very special surprise for Lacus when she got there and now that she was he was going to make sure he got the reaction he wanted when she first lays eyes upon it.

 

Lacus pouted this adorable little pout of hers but soon a smile appeared on her face. “I'm sure I will love it either way. You didn't need to do it though. I don't need anything else from you. You gave me the greatest gift in the world,” she said kissing Shiro's forehead.

 

Kira just smiled as they continued walking the several streets needed to get back. He just kept smiling figuring that things were finally going his way and that nothing could ruin the happiness he was feeling at that moment.

 

As they walked, Lacus began to realize just how far she ran. She was actually surprised with the distance since she didn't realize where she was going or just how far she ran. She was only focused on getting as far away as possible. She was even more surprised that Kira was able to find her. “Kira, how exactly did you find me? I don't remember you following me at all while I was running,” she said deciding to just voice her question.

 

Kira was quiet for several moments. In truth, he had no clue how he was able to find her so quickly. “I guess my heart just knew. Like it was an instinct,” he replied with a smile before turning back to look ahead of them.

 

“An instinct,” Lacus repeated feeling like it made sense. “Well I'm glad that we have such great instincts when it comes to each other. I don't know what I would've done if I lost you because of a misunderstanding,” she said sadly but with a relieved smile as well.

 

“No matter where you are I feel like I would always be able to find you. Remember when we first saw each other again?” he asked and she nodded her head. “It seemed like we always kept running into each other. At the airport, at that store, and in the park; we always seemed to run into each other without even meaning to,” Kira continued with a smile since he was glad that he had that instinct. It was what kept bringing him and Lacus together.

 

It was silent after that until they finally turned onto the familiar street around twenty minutes after they were in park. It wasn't long after that before the house came into view once again.

 

Lacus sighed in relief when she saw the place. Not including that disastrous event that morning, this had been the first time in such a long time that she had been there. Now that she thought about it, she remembered that it was a year ago that very day that she first went there that fateful night.

 

“Welcome home Lacus,” Kira said with a smile while tightening his embrace around her shoulder. “This is going to be your home from now on,” he said and loved how she smiled brightly and nodded her head.

 

Lacus couldn't help but feel happy about his words. It had been so long since she'd had a real home. She didn't count the place that she lived in only a few weeks prior. That place never gave her any of the comfort that Kira's did. It was just a place she lived in but she didn't consider it her home. She knew she could only be at home wherever Kira and their son were.

 

Kira opened the unlocked door and the two of them stepped inside. The house gave Lacus the same welcoming feeling she got the first time she stepped into it. This just assured her that this was where she belonged.

 

Everything seemed so much brighter in the place with Lacus finally back. Kira was planning to do everything he possibly could do with Lacus today. But that meant that he had a few things that needed to be done first. “Lacus, do you mind being by yourself for a little while?” he asked hating to have to leave her but these were important.

 

Lacus turned her head to look at him with a confused look. “I guess,” she said with a pout since she didn't want to be away from him right then. “What do you have to do though?” she asked curiously.

 

“I just have to call Athrun and see if he can take over my duties for today at work. Then I have to set a few things up for your surprise,” he said and saw her face brighten again at the mention of his gift.

 

“I guess it won't be a problem. I need to change this little one anyway,” she said and he nodded as he turned and headed towards his office to make his call while Lacus turned to one of the other rooms to change Shiro.

 

It was several minutes later before Kira came walking into the room. Lacus was just sitting down with Shiro in her arms. She was cradling very gently in order to lull him back into sleep since she had to wake him up in order to change him. “I'm ready to show you your surprise Lacus,” he said with a smile even though he hated breaking up that scene.

 

“Well that was fast,” she said standing up. She started to follow after Kira as he led her down a familiar hallway. It looked like he was leading towards his room but he stopped a door earlier.

 

Turning the doorknob, Kira opened the door and took a step in with Lacus following after him. Almost as soon as she stepped in she gasped and her eyes started to water in happiness. It was much better than any other gift that Kira could possibly give her at that point.

 

The gift was a room for their son. The walls were painted the color blue. A crib was placed in a corner of the room with a changing table right next to it. a small dresser could also be seen. One of the drawers to the dresser was open showing Lacus that he also got Shiro some more clothes to wear. To top it all off there was a lot of toys inside an open toy box for Shiro to play with.

 

Kira liked the reaction that he saw on Lacus's face as she looked around the room. “I just had to do a bit of cleaning up since there was still a lot of trash from the work I did on it yesterday. I actually ended up falling asleep in her last night. Probably the only reason I wasn't woken up by Fllay this morning since I usually kept the door locked so that no one could see this place until you saw it,” he explained to her as she walked around the room.

 

Lacus walked up to the crib and gently placed Shiro into it. He seemed to like it since he never once made a noise and continued to sleep peacefully in it. She then started walking around the place and admired all the stuff that Kira got. It was pretty clear that he put a lot of hard work into putting this room together.

 

Kira waited nervously for Lacus to say something. He knew she liked it but he wanted to hear exactly what she thought from her own mouth. “So what do you think of it?” he asked nervously scratching the back of his head.

 

Lacus turned towards him with a few tears of happiness streaming down her face. Instead of telling him with words, she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and smashed her lips to his own with a kiss filled with such need and passion that it made both of them feel a bit lightheaded.

 

When they broke for air several minutes later, they smiled brightly at one another. “So… I take it you like it,” he said only to be kissed once again but one that was much shorter this time compared to the last.

 

Lacus broke away shortly. “It's beautiful,” she said with a bright smile. She looked around the room at all the stuff once again. “Did you do all of this by yourself?” she asked curiously and he nodded. “It must've been a lot of work for you,” she said running her fingers over the painted walls.

 

“Not really. I was just so determined to do it. As soon as I got back from the wedding I started to work on it. I wanted to be able to give him and you something special when you finally got here. I actually had a lot of fun putting it together for just that reason,” he said earning him another one of her beautiful smiles.

 

Lacus kissed him once more. “Thank you Kira. This means a lot to the both of us,” she said before turning to see that their son was still sleeping peacefully. He looked like he was going to be out for a while. “I need to take a shower,” she told Kira and he nodded his head.

 

Lacus started to walk out the door when she realized something. She turned around and saw Kira just watching her leave. “Why don't you join me,” she said as a cute blush crossed her face at the boldness of her words.

 

Kira was shocked at her words for a few seconds before a grin crossed his face. He knew Shiro would sleep for a while longer so he thought this would be the perfect chance with Lacus. He ran after her into the bathroom in his room. He turned on one of the baby monitor so they'd be able to hear him and then went into the bathroom.

 

Lacus stood there waiting for him to come in. She had a cute little smile on her face as he walked over until she was right in front of him. She stood on her toe and placed a kiss on his lips as his arms wrapped around her waist pulling her tightly to his chest.

 

Kira's hands went down and rested upon her ass. He then gave them a quickly squeeze which elicited a moan from Lacus's mouth against his lips. While his hands were doing that, his mouth went down and started to lay feather light kisses upon her neck.

 

A moan escaped her lips again as she reached down and started to pull upon the bottom of his t-shirt until it went all the way up and over his head. She then just threw it off to the side as she reached into the shower and got it started without once breaking the contact between them.

 

By that time Kira had her pinned against the wall right next to the door as his hands went up the bottom of the sundress until it was past her waist. He rested his hands upon her waist before gently stroking up and down.

 

Lifting her arms in the air, Lacus felt Kira pull it completely up and off of her. A modest blush crossed her face as she saw him taking in the site of her. It wasn't that he was seeing her nude again but rather he was seeing what was left of the damage Trent left on her.

 

A frown crossed Kira's face as his hands traveled over some of the healing wounds that Trent left behind. Most appeared to be healing nicely but they were still a ways from being completely healed.

 

When his hands brushed over her ribs he heard her grimace. She grabbed his hands to make him stop. “Are you sure you're up to this Lacus, I can wait for you to heal more,” he said not wanting to hurt her by possibly putting pressure on her obviously once broken ribs.

 

Lacus shook her head. “No, I want this Kira. I know I can handle it. Just… please be gentle with me,” she said looking at him with pleading eyes. She found it funny that this was the first time she was pleading to have sex.

 

The way that Lacus looked at Kira made him unable to stop himself from denying her. He knew that he would have to be extra gentle with her though. “Fine, but if I think I'm hurting you then I'll stop,” he said in a tone that left no room for arguing.

 

Kira was quickly stripped of the rest of his clothes as well as Lacus. The two of them walked into the nice warm shower. The water poured own on them as they locked themselves in a heated kiss while their hands traveled all over the other's body.

 

Bringing his hand down, Kira rested it over Lacus's pussy. He heard her gasp at the touch. He then slid in a finger making her body jerk a bit at the intrusion. He then inserted a second and then a third finger.

 

Lacus's breathing picked up a little as he pumped his fingers in and out of her tight love canal. He hands came up and rested upon his shoulder to stop her from falling should her knees give out like they wanted to.

 

After a few minutes of this Kira pulled his fingers out, much to Lacus's dismay, and licked away what the water didn't immediately wash off. “Tasty,” he muttered placing his hands on her hips as he went down onto his knees.

 

Kira's hands began to move up and down the silky smooth skin of Lacus's legs. He then placed his behind then and placed one on his shoulder to make it easier for him to do what he wanted.

 

Before Lacus realized it, Kira's face was buried into the moist depths of her pussy. She released a loud moan as pleasure continued to shoot through her entire body at the feeling of his tongue laying havoc to her private areas.

 

“This is…” Kira said running his tongue along her moist slit, “so good,” he finished saying as he feasted upon her very essence. He was sure by the amount she was making that she was liking this just as much as he did.

 

Lacus just couldn't remain still. Her hands went to the back of his head and held him there as closely as possible. She could feel him as he licked along and into her pussy. Occasionally she would feel him nibble on her clit which brought her to a near orgasm several times.

 

“Come on Lacus. Don't hold back. Cum for me,” Kira whispered as he not only ate her out but stuck his fingers back into her tight hole. He heard her scream with pleasure but he knew that she had yet to find her orgasm.

 

She could feel what was to be the first of what she was sure to be many blissful orgasms. Her hands tightened around the back of his head as it just continued to build up. “K-Kira, I… please, I can't… take much more,” Lacus said just loud enough for him to barely hear over the sound of the pouring water.

 

Deciding to just finish this up, Kira took her clit into his mouth once again and sucked on it. It had the desired affect as she screamed in true bliss as her juices continued to rush out into his awaiting mouth.

 

Pulling his head back, Kira licked off as much of the juices that didn't make it into his mouth. He then helped Lacus get back onto her feet. He could tell that she could barely stand up straight at that moment and he couldn't help but chuckle. “You sure got into that,” he said rubbing the back of his head. It felt like she'd been pulling out his hair while he was doing that.

 

“Yeah,” Lacus breathed out as she leaned against the side of the shower and fell down so that she was sitting on the floor. “Now let me make it up to you,” she said wit a pretty blush as she reached out her hand and lightly stroked Kira's already really hard cock.

 

Kira gasped as she took his hardened rod in her hands and started to lightly pump it. He was bordering on blowing it right there but he did his best to push it back as much as possible.

 

Holding it down by the base, she brought her mouth up to it and blew tentatively upon it. She placed the head in her mouth and went down a little before coming back up. She hated that she still felt like she wasn't doing it right. She wanted to learn how to do it right someday so that she could please Kira more.

 

From Kira's point of view, she was a lot better than she thought. He knew that she couldn't go down far but other than that it was one of the best he's ever had. “Don't worry, you're doing just fine,” he said knowing exactly what she was thinking. He figured that maybe he'd give her a little help since she obviously wanted to do better.

 

His words made Lacus feel better as she went down again. She heard Kira giving her a few suggestions about it though. She was willing to try anything with Kira so she followed each and every one of them. It did seem to help a little and that made her feel a little better.

 

Kira watched as her head bobbed up and down again and again. His hands lightly ran through the beautiful, wet, and long pink hair. He always liked how it was so unique to her. “That feels great,” he groaned out and he gave her head a small push to help her out.

 

“Mmmm,” was the only noise that Lacus made to show that she heard him. While she was sucking him, both of her hands went to his member and started doing the same motion as her mouth.

 

By then, Kira was about ready to release. “Lacus, sweetie. This feels great and all but I'm… ahhhhh… about to cum,” he said not wanting their long awaited time to go to waste. He groaned when he saw that she wasn't stopping.

 

Lacus heard him loud and clear but she mentally admitted to herself that she wanted him to cum inside her mouth. She wanted to know what it was that he tasted like. She always came when he ate her out and he always said it tasted good so she wanted to see if was the same the other way. She never had anyone that she could be sexually free with so she wanted to try other things.

 

“Lacus… if you don't pull away… ahhhhh… then this is going to be a very short experience,” he said before he was suddenly engulfed in pleasure with her still attached to him. He came fast and hard deep into Lacus's awaiting mouth.

 

Lacus was surprised with just how much semen came pouring into her mouth. She took as much as she possibly could in. She finally pulled back and swallowed all that was in her mouth. She had to admit that it tasted unique. It was everything that Kira was and that made it taste better to her.

 

Looking at her doing that really aroused Kira. Almost immediately he found himself building up another erection. He was surprised how fast it happened. He never managed to go again this fast all the times he had sex before then.

 

Wiping away the small trickle of semen from her mouth, Lacus smiled as she stood up and faced Kira in the face. “Short experience huh? Looks like you could go on for a while,” she said looking at his hardening cock.

 

That was all it took for Kira, he had her pinned against the wall again quickly. He was careful about her ribs though but he knew she would be able to take it either way. “I guess it won't then,” he said lifting one of her legs and positioned his penis at her entrance and was about to push in.

 

All of a sudden, the sound of a crying baby was heard. Kira groaned and reluctantly released Lacus who just giggled at the situation. “I guess this is the cost of us being parents,” she said opening the door to the shower and stepping out. She quickly dried off before grabbing a robe.

 

Kira watched her leave the room and head towards Shiro's room. He sighed at his son's bad timing as he too stepped out of the shower. He dried himself off before doing as Lacus did and threw on a robe before leaving the bathroom as well.

 

Throwing himself down on the bed, Kira listened into the baby monitor as Lacus sang a calming song to Shiro. “She should definitely be a singer with a voice like that,” he said as the crying finally started to subside.

 

A few minutes later Shiro had fallen back asleep and Lacus made her way back to her new room. She saw Kira lying on the bed with the baby monitor right next to him. “Enjoying the music?” she asked teasingly as she took a few steps forward.

 

Kira acted quickly, first he turned off the baby monitor, and then he grabbed a hold of Lacus throwing her down on the bed before crawling on top of her. “Of course. That reminds me that you owe me a song,” he whispered as he worked on the knot of the robe until it fell open exposing her to his eyes again.

 

“You're not going to let go of that, are you?” Lacus asked with a giggle and a moan as he started to kiss her neck. He merely shook his head. “Maybe later today I will give you a private show,” she said going for the knot of his robe only to find it had been done and was already discarded to the side. She wondered just when it was that he did that since he had it on and tied when she came back into the room.

 

“That sounds good but why don't we finished what we started,” he said positioning himself at her entrance before sheathing himself completely with her with one quick thrust making both of them moan at the feeling of completion that swept over the two of them.

 

Lacus was glad that she remembered to bring her birth control with her. She knew that this just wouldn't feel the same if she used a condom with Kira. That way there was nothing blocking the feel of his hard penis inside of her.

 

“So tight,” muttered Kira as he pulled out slightly before pushing deep with her again. Lacus's insides fit him perfectly. “You did, take the pill, right?” he felt like he had to ask before they went any further. Her nod was all her needed before pulling almost completely.

 

The temporary loss of his dick disappointed Lacus slightly. That was soon rectified when he pushed back inside of her all the way to the hilt. She hissed in pleasure at the action. “What… if I didn't. Would it matter?” she asked finding that she didn't mind at all. In fact, she wished she didn't because she would've loved to have another baby with Kira.

 

“Not really. It would either mean we would have another baby or that I would have to use a condom. That just wouldn't feel right with you though,” he muttered as he made another hard thrust making Lacus scream in pleasure.

 

“I wouldn't mind having another baby but right now is probably not the best time,” she said and he silently nodded as she wrapped her legs around his waist to help him reach deeper depth than before.

 

Reaching in-between the two of them, Kira started to toy with her clit hoping to bring her to her release quickly. He was pretty sure he might not be able to last as long as usual right then and wanted to get her to reach her peak a bit faster.

 

Just as he was about to thrust into Lacus again, she stopped him by placing her hands upon his chest. “Lacus?” he question before he was suddenly pushed onto his back by the beautiful pink haired woman.

 

Lacus decided to take charge on impulse but she liked how she could do that. She could be a bit more assertive than she ever could when she was with Trent. Even before she married Trent she wasn't very assertive. “Let me,” she said softly before impaling herself upon him once again.

 

Kira liked this side of Lacus that she wouldn't normally show in public. He liked how she'd be willing to take charge if she felt like it. “Go ahead,” he replied placing his hands upon her waist before thrusting up just as she came down.

 

“Ahhhhh!” Lacus screamed out at the fiction that was in-between the two of them. “This feels… so good!” Lacus yelled out as she squeezed her insides to tighten around his engorged rod. “I can feel it, it's so close,” she moaned as he started to toy with her clit once again.

 

Knowing that she was already really close, Kira abandoned his work on her clit and moved both of his hands up to her breasts. They had just been tempting him since she took charge with all of their bouncing.

 

Kira liked the size of Lacus's chest being that of maybe a C cup from what he remembered of the first time that they made love. Kira wouldn't care either way but he did prefer medium sized breasts to either big or little ones.

 

“I don't think I'm going to last much longer Lacus,” he said already doing his best to push back his orgasm from coming out. He knew that he just wouldn't be satisfied though if she didn't cum with him.

 

“Then… let's cum together,” she said in a voice that he could just barely hear. Then with one final thrust she came. She threw her head back and screamed out the pleasure that was wracking through her body. “Kira!” she yelled the name of the one that did this to her.

 

“Lacus!” Kira yelled back as he thrust one final time as well before pleasure swept through him and he released his seed deep within her. To him, that had to be the second best orgasm of his life, the first one being their first time together.

 

The pleasure finally stopped and Lacus collapsed upon Kira's chest. She felt as if she no longer had any energy in her body. “That was wonderful Kira,” Lacus said resting her head so that she could listen to his heartbeat as she felt herself drifting off to sleep. “I love you Kira,” she said glad that she could once again say the words that her heart continued to long for her to say.

 

“I love you too Lacus,” Kira said and saw her smile in satisfaction of his words. Just the sight of her smiling with him right next to her made Kira feel at peace. He just hoped that this peace would last for a long time although he had a feeling that nothing would be that easy. `A guy can always hope though. If I can get more time with us being just like this then I know that we'll be able to make it through anything that can happen,' he thought closing his eyes before drifting off to sleep.
