Well here's the final chapter for this story.

Blood spluttered on his face as the man restraining him against the wall coughed it; he couldn't believe he was still alive. The man fell on him causing them both to fall on the carpeted floor that was covered with the crimson liquid.

"Cagalli…" he heard him say her name with his last breath

With great effort he pushed the man off him and crawled to the blonde on the floor, he winced in pain moving was hard for his injured body. It didn't matter as long as she was safe and alive.

He reached the bed his body was betraying him, he felt the world around him darkened. Now was not the time to give in, he had to be strong for both of them.

His back rested against the bed then he lifted her head and gently placed it on his lap

"Aaah" he screamed in agony.

That wasn't such a good idea the weight of her head on the leg that has been shot made him almost lose to the darkness that began to surround him as his body started to lose blood.

Cagalli was coming to she moved her head which caused more to his suffering; he groaned and suppressed his crying. Her reddened eyes shot open when she felt something gooey and cold in the back of her head mixed with warmth.

"Shinn!" she cried his name in disbelief hugging him and began to sob.

"Hushh…its okay everything is over. It's going to be alright" he caressed her back to soothe her pain.

"I thought I lost you" she hiccupped and buried her head in his neck squeezing him tighter afraid that she might be dreaming that he might go away.

One of her hands touched her hair and when it came into her view "Oh my God…" she knew it wasn't her blood.

"Don't worry it's just my leg" he wearily smiled, beads of sweat starting to fall on his face. He took of his jacket and placed it around his bare wife.

"You need help" tears seemed endless from her eyes as they darted when she stood up and looked for a phone…

The days went by and the smile on her face was lost it would only appear in front of her son she didn't want her little Shouta to feel anything awkward or something horrible happened to her and she was grateful that her brother and her sister-in-law were kind enough to take care of him for a few days.

Shinn knew that the night had left a deep scar in her but he hated seeing her that way. Like a bird with broken wings, that lost the will to fly again. She shouldn't be that way If only I were there…

"Cagalli" he said her name one night as his hands searched her side of the bed for any sign of the blonde.

He opened his ruby eyes lazily and rubbed them yawning. 01:30 am read the digital clock on his left. Then he heard it faint sobs from their bathroom.

He knocked gently on the door "Cagalli…are you okay" and placed his ear on it.

She sniffed and answered with an 'I'm okay…I'll be there in a mintue'

He decided he'd wait for her but when ten minutes passed and still no sign of her coming out of there he turned the knob and was glad to find it not locked.

Cagalli didn't hear him come in she was seated in the bathtub filled with water and she was rubbing her body with the loaf rather harshly. Her eyes brimming with tears while she tried her best to control her crying.

He watched her clutching both fists at his sides now he understood why she'd wear all those clothes to hide all the damage she had inflected on her skin.

"Shinn" she gasped when her wrist was pulled by him. Then she looked away in shame.

"What are you doing Cagalli" he removed the object in her hand and tossed it to the marble floor then kneeled next to the tub, bringing her chin up with his gentle fingers.

She couldn't hide it anymore she tried her best not break down on him but when he saw her in that shape she couldn't hold it anymore.

"I need to cleanse myself" she cried wanting to break her eyes away but he held her firmly.

She saw the confused look on his face "from his stench from his filth" she cried out bitterly.

"Cagalli…" she's been doing this for a long time

"I don't deserve you Shinn" for me…but don't you see Cagalli if…

"If I were there that night" his head tilted downward, ebony bangs covered his eyes "You wouldn't have gone through all this" without realizing he tightened his grip on her small wrist.

The blonde didn't mind the minor pain but she couldn't believe what he was saying he's blaming himself…

"NO Shinn! It's not your fault" one of her hands touched his hand that was under her chin.

"And it's not YOURS. Stop doing this to yourself and don't you dare say that you don't deserve me" he shouted trying to hold back the tears.

"Shinn I…But I am...tainted" that's the best word she could describe herself then.

He raised his eyes letting them fall on her "You're not. You're still the same beautiful caring blonde that I fell in love with five years ago…"

"Shinn…"

"You're still the one I want to wake up to every morning the one I want to grow old with…"

"I…"

"You're still my Cagalli and I am still you're Shinn" he caressed her cheeks and smile sincerely.

He meant every word of it and with that smile the rain was gone all the clouds were cleared. She tried to shut her heart down but he made it so hard with such sweet and kind words, and she fell in love with him that night all over again.

She looked at the angel standing in front of her looking at her with such love and passion in his eyes, reaching for her heart and calling her with that much love shown he made her feel brand new.

Cagalli pulled him down with a longing embrace it's been a long time since she felt him so close to her.

"Shinn I-" he put a finger to her lips.

"You don't have to say anything" then captured her lips with a sweet gentle kiss.

The day that the news of her husband's death arrived was a sunny day both outside and inside. Strange for some women they would mourn the loss of their 'dear' husband but not this lady.

It was the day she was freed after all these years she couldn't believe her prayers were answered just was wondering why the heck it took that long.

It didn't matter her strings unattached finally, hell was nothing compared to the way he treated her and made her feel about herself. Shit bag she cursed him.

When her mother told her that he passed from this world she expected her daughter to cry and cry she did but the tears that came were from happiness and relief that her night mare was gone. Good riddance.

Her happiness doubled as she inherited the fortune that her deceased husband worked so hard to achieve and it was all hers for the taken. And her joy mounted to limitless heights when she was reunited with her lover once again.

Luna and her life companion left the country with the money they had-and no more restrictions-they could go anywhere they pleased and most importantly they had each other and they stood against all odds to get to where they were.

Almost three years later

A family of four was enjoying the great outdoors on a wonderful summer day, two couples sat on the grass under the shadow of a large oak tree in one of the most beautiful parks in the city.

The woman was admiring the features of the handsome face that belonged to her husband,

"Don't you think I should get an abortion…it could be his"

"The child deserves a chance in life, he or she didn't do anything wrong besides I will always be the father of your children" he put his palm on her slightly swollen belly and held her with the other arm…

She smiled if there is an angel on earth then it must be you.

The man lying casually on the ground with a knee propped up and his hands comfortably behind his head, his eyes were closed but he felt her gaze on him.

"I love you" she heard him say.

"I know" her smile widened, she leaned her head down wanting to steal a kiss from his lips.

But he surprised her as he flipped her over she yelped as she found herself the one to the ground and he was on top of her grinning and wiggling his brows seductively.

The blonde beneath him giggled "Shinn the kids might see us"

"I won't go too far" he sucked at her neck gently "If they ask we'll tell them we were wrestling" then his lips met her eager ones.

They kissed passionately pleasuring themselves with their tongues, hands roaming on each other's bodies.

"And of they asked who won" she asked after they released the physical contact.

"Of course I did" he said proudly.

In a moment she turned the tables she was on top now, she straddled his hips and pinned his hands on the grass behind his head.

"Think again honey" she sneered with a satisfied gleam in her eyes.

The raven haired chuckled she surprised him he would be able to have her under him again in an instant but with such a look on her beautiful face he couldn't besides he was enjoying the view of some of the exposed creamy skin of her cleavage.

"Mom!" their son yelled with anger running their way.

Shinn and Cagalli immediately sat properly when they heard Shouta's voice. They saw him running away from a little girl with distinctively blue hair and cute emerald eyes whom also recognized as their daughter.

"What is it Shouta" the blonde asked her seven year old son.

As Shinn stood on his knees and smiled opening his loving arm for the girl that was laughing gleefully running toward him with the best speed her small feet could give. And she threw herself at him they her mother does.

"That stupid little devil…" Shouta began angrily pointing at his sister but minded his language when his mother gave him a stern look

"I mean this beloved sister of mine" his eyebrows twitching and his mother was trying to suppress the laugh.

"Ruined my castle" he continued and huffed when he saw the 'little devil' stuck her tongue at him over their father's shoulder.

"Did you do it Lin?" she asked her daughter.

Lin released her bear hug on her father and stood facing her mother her eyes cast down "Yes" she whispered

Shinn put a gentle hand on her small shoulder "Why did you do it Lin" he asked her

"Shouta didn't let Lin play…So Lin was angry" she told them.

"You didn't tell me that you want to play" the raven haired boy exclaimed.

"Of course she wants to play with you Shouta, you're her big brother" his mother said to him and nudged him toward his sister as Shinn did the same to their daughter.

"Apologize to your brother Lin" Shinn said to her in a fatherly tone

"Lin is sorry Shouta" she apologized blushing

"I'm sorry too. Come" he took his sister's hand in his "Let's play together" he grinned like his father.

They ran toward the sand box and started playing this time together. Cagalli gazed at her husband as he watched the kids with that sweet look on his face. Her family was the thing she was thankful for most.

"I love you" she sighed and rested her head on his shoulder.

"I know" he whispered kissing her head and putting his arm around her. She felt as warm as the sun with her angel right beside her.
