Author's Note: New Misato and Shinji story for you in nutshell, will I update further, we'll see, still I hope you enjoy it. Still, we'll see where it goes from here.

Breathing in and out, Misato could feel the passion in her body burning like fire. She could feel Shinji's presences inside of her thrusting in and out. It was ecstasy in her whole body. Each reaction felt like she was going crazy. Never had she felt this good inside since her relationship with Kaji.

As their encounters grew stronger so did their bound with each other.

"Shinji…!" Misato cried out with the utmost passion after the final stroke.

She had awakened from the shine of the morning sun, little sore on her womanly body. She had dreamed about the last night Shinji and Misato had made love. It ached in between her legs and chest. Inside her head, she could still hear her latest moans.

It was so blurrily into her eyes. As she turned the over way, her partner was not there beside her. As she tried to sleep more, the sun went further across her face.

"Alright Mr. Sun, I'm up already." She mourned. While waking up in her birthday suit, Misato was the first to hit the showers this morning.

As the water slid down her body, she still stood, thinking about her new love and her new life with Shinji Ikari. The boy who was once dependent on her had now became independent and very mature. Through her time of grief and struggle, Shinji had always been there for her physically and mentally.

Not taking a time to decide, she quickly slipped on short shorts and spaghetti strapped shirt. She found Shinji in the kitchen cooking breakfast like a stay-at-home-wife. By the sizzling grill and boils, she could smell it from a mile away. He was almost very attractive with his brood shoulders and longer hair. Using baby steps at a time, she snuck up on Shinji. Then within an instant, she embraced Shinji with nice back hug and a morning kiss to his neck.

"Good morning Misato." Shinji greeted feeling her from behind.

"Good morning my darling Shinji," Misato greeted rubbing her head on his back.

It was hard to believe that a year had already passed since their relationship together. They were still living under the same roof as each other, but instead of guardian and child, it was now lovers. It was not every day that there were relationships between people with a mighty big age gap. Misato had watched eat with the same calmness as he was young. That much has not changed of Shinji.

Everything else had gone through changes over this year. Because of the massive destruction of Japan due to the Eva's and Angels, Nerv was the primary blame of this tragedy. And thus due to huge lawsuit, Nerv was shutdown. Everyone else was disbanded from Nerv while the commander, Gendo Ikari, had taken reasonability for the actions, destruction and even deaths.

While Nerv had been shutdown, everyone that had worked for Nerv went their own separate ways either finding new paths or new careers. But so far it had only been them together. As they finished up, Shinji had cleared up the table and dishes. They could still hear the morning birds chirping at the window.

Knowing her drinking habits, Shinji had set a beer on the table by Misato. Misato shrugged the beer away. The boy was almost surprised to see Misato turned down her favorite beer she has every morning and night. "Thanks Shinji, but I don't feel like it right now." Misato moaned with her head on the table.

"Are you feeling okay Misato?" Shinji said placed his back hand on Misato's forehead. Misato head was almost warm. It certainly was no ordinary fever.

"I'm fine, just under the weather lately."

"It must have been another one of your hangovers." Shinji muttered guessing.

Misato paid Shinji with mad stare. Knowing what he said was wrong; Shinji cleared his throat in correction. Shinji placed a blanket around Misato's body while she rested her head. Even if she said she was fine, Shinji's concern for her was great.

"Whatever the case, get well soon Misato." Shinji kissed her on the side of her head. "I'm off to work now."

"Yeah…see you later." Misato moaned in pain.

"Take good care of yourself Misato, I'm serious." Shinji reminded.

"Yeah, yeah, I got it."

Ever since Nerv had been disbanded, some had been left unemployed. Other had found other forms of work, because of their past experience. But because Misato was on unemployment, Shinji had decided to get a part-time job at a local convenience store. He was mostly in charge of loading and unloading trucks worth or material goods. The hours were from morning till night and the pay was decent.

With a sucker in his mouth, he watched every single customer at the store from the sales counter. There were nothing by the sounds of the store bell and nature echoing through the day. As he checked out one customer, he gave a simple, "Thank you please come again."

As the bell chimed again Shinji said, "Hello and welcome."

"Well, well, well, looks like somebody is all grown up." Shinji instantly recognized that familiar voice. When he turned around, he was shocked much less surprised to see the person right in front of him. Shinji's old classmate, friend and ally, Asuka-Langley-Sohryu, was in the flesh in lovely spring dress and wearing the same cocky grin.

Not wanting to get into any fight, Shinji started the conversation slowly, "Hello Asuka, so how have you been?"

"Oh you know here and there, dealing with the fact that I can't no longer show you up anymore in Eva's. And I'm just living a nice quiet but boring-ass life." Asuka rambled.

"Well it could be worst."

Asuka signed picking out a water. "Yeah I suppose your right. So how is Misato doing?"

"She's doing fine, but she's been feeling out of it. She even denied her usual favorite beer."

"Knowing her, I'm sure it's just a stomach ach from consuming all that alcohol or even being with you all day."

Shinji was offended by the comment, but was used to Asuka's daily insults right about now. After circling around the store, Asuka had picked some yogurts. When it was paid for, she left the other one to Shinji. Shinji didn't know what to say afterwords. "Consider it a parting gift from me to you." Asuka winked.

"What do you mean a parting gift Asuka?" Shinji inquired.

"What are you stupid? This will be the last time you see of little old me, because I'm going back to Germany tomorrow or should I say I'm being deported back to Germany."

"I'm sorry to hear that Asuka."

"Whatever, I'm done being in this country anyway." Asuka took her leave. "Even so, farewell Shinji and take care. Give Misato my regards, okay." It was hard for Asuka to say something nice to Shinji. Shinji could not help but smile at her stubbornness to be nice.

In the meantime while still feeling hazy; Misato had decided to check herself into the Emergency Room. It had been going on for days. None of her usual pills or medicine had worked on her condition. She waited in the lobby with other people who are hurt and sick. And because of her reputation in Nerv, she tried to cover herself by burying her face in magazine.

"Misato Katsuragi, you're up. The doctor will see you in a moment, right this way." The nurse called out.

"Okay, what are we dealing with here?" The female doctor came in to reveal another familiar face, Ritsuko Akagi, who was now working as hospital doctor. "Misato; what an unpleasant surprise to see you here? Did you consume a lot of beer again?"

"No, no, it's something more than that. I've been feeling hazy lately."

"Alright, strip down so I can do some examinations." Ritsuko instructed.

After hour's worth of examination and friendly catching up discussions, Ritsuko was almost at a loss for words to find the outcome of her sickness. Misato had already feared the worst outcome for her condition. Maybe she was getting disease or sickness. The results were killing her. "Well Misato, it would seem like you body has experience some physical growth of development inside and outside." Ritsuko had explained.

Question marks poured Misato's head, "Do you mind giving me that in English Ritsuko?"

"What I'm saying Misato is; I think you might be pregnant."

"But that's impossible; I always used Birth Control before having sex!" Misato burst blushing as hard as she could.

"Well that may be the problem Misato; you may have used the wrong kind dated a year back. I'm sorry but my reports never lie." Ritsuko took off her glasses. "Why don't you take pregnancy test to determine the outcome? But if you are really pregnant, then you better brace yourself. And also how will Shinji take it, to be a father at a young age? But I suppose it's foolish to jump the gun just yet."

This was a lot to take in to the former Eva's officer. To think that she was going to have baby like this was pretty darn overwhelming. She may have been in a relationship, but never thought about settling down like this. But will she be ready to take on this responsibility? The very thought was enough to make her head explode.

Still what will happen if Shinji finds out? Will he be alright with situation or will he leave her in fear? What will Misato do if she endures loneliness again? Will she be able to keep herself together then? Should she had felt relived shock or ashamed of this turn of events.

So much was going though her head that she could barely think straight, let alone sleep on it. She didn't even hear the sounds of the front door as Shinji came home. "I'm home Misato." He announced. "Misato, are you there?"

"Oh hi Shinji, welcome back," Misato greeted Shinji home.

Shinji felt her forehead. "How are you feeling Misato? Are you still sick?"

"I'm fine Shinji, just was a bit off today." Misato replied.

"You should take these. They should help your upset body. I also ran into Asuka for the last time." Shinji left Misato with some pills. "I'm going to get dinner started."

Misato pulled Shinji's arm. "Shinji, you don't have to do all of this. I mean I'm the adult after all. Shouldn't I be the one providing for you?"

Shinji shook his head. "Misato, don't be silly. You've been providing for me a lot lately. So it's my turn to provide for you while you're on unemployment. And besides I don't mind if I'm the one working, but that does not mean you should feel weak about it. Just like you taken care of me, I'll take care of you through thick and thin because I love you."

"Shinji I…"

"No matter what comes our way, I'm here for you now." Shinji said placing his head on Misato's. Those words alone were enough make Misato tear up as she embraced Shinji in very tight hug.
