Chapter 4
"Good morning, Beautiful" Misaki Ayuzawa glared at the honorific, but didn't bother correcting him, like spices on sea, it was simply useless.
"Why do i get the impression that you are about to kill someone" , the 26 year old snapped her amber eyes in his direction . Thoroughly annoyed
Only to face the black haired devil in front of her, he had actually made it impossible for her to be in a good mood, most of the people avoided him but she always heard the nurses and the doctors and even the recipients talking or gossiping about him, daydreaming even. She never would understand how girls thinking process went, you are practically rooting for a guy who doesn't give damn about you, or doesn't even know you exist.
"What do you want Riley", half of the staff called him Dr. Hudson, not only because that he was one of the best and the most respected surgeon in that hospital but also cause he had the tendency to scare everyone away with his glares, he didn't believe in ideal conversation and found most of the population entirely boring and annoying . But to Misaki, he was Riley, it came naturally into her lips as breathing.
He always had this tendency to snap at just everyone but not this raven haired girl.
Meeting her, he realized that love could actually be possible when he once called her an annoying nurse for correcting him and getting a solid punch in return.
He really didn't wanted to test her ire now.
She was like his favorite cookie, sugary yet salty at times.
For her he was just THE-ANNOYING-BOSS-WHOS-ONLY-JOB-IS-TO-ANNOY-HER.
He loved the fact that Misaki Ayuzawa could snap at him being his junior when most of his colleagues avoided him.
'Good morning my foot' Misaki grumbled inwardly.
She had woken up with an upset tummy and puked right after she had finished brushing, and at breakfast even the smell her favorite meal drove her over the edge, so she had to make do with juice. And the fact that she had vomited thrice after coming to work and that her fellow surgeons told her to go take a rest getting all of them worried for her. Her work seemed to be over loaded and she wasn't able to concentrate on anything.
She was extremely annoyed and was on the verge of tears and also felt like beating someone to pulp.
Huh! so NO! Her damn morning was not at all good and she didn't feel the least bit beautiful after vomiting for the third time.
Phew!
She could tell him all that but knew it'll only make thing worse , so she concentrated on the work ahead.
She knew the signs of pregnancy and she was going through all of them right now.
Jesus Christ!
She was pregnant, it still seemed too far fetched.
At the age of 26 she had already decided hat marriages and babies were not for her, she wasn't gonna marry some guy who's gonna break her heart in the end, she had too much of her heart breaking for this lifetime.
But, of course when she saw her patients hold their new born in their hand and the joy she felt when she finally had brought a life into this world was magnificent.
But she had already made up her mind about marriage, a big NO!
But she couldn't deny the pang of jealousy she felt handing those sweet babies over knowing that those small rosy cheeked angels could never be hers.
Over the years she had told herself that she was better off alone .
But THIS was mind boggling.
She didn't wanted to think about what she'd do with the fetus inside her. And Takumi had already refrained from taking responsibility. That bastard. And there was no Yukino to tell him other wise,
Her thoughts were heading in a dangerous direction and the last thing she needed was an headache accompanying her nausea.
"Stupid, asshole, self centered, unscrupulous , pig, louse,.."
"That's quite a vast vocabulary you have there love"
She hadn't realize she had started speaking out-loud, had she already said too much?Hell!
"I hope they're not directed to me!"
She sighed in relief , probably not!
Hell would break lose if he knew that she was pregnant. Thanks heavens she hasn't started showing yet!
She gulped and looked at him, he was frowning down at her.
"Don't you have some patients to attends to", she asked , desperately trying to get him off her back, the last thing she needed was him worrying over her.
He worried too much already,
Where were you last week?, he asked totally ignoring her question,
"umm, I..."
Misaki had guessed he would ask her that also knew there was no getting away with it , he never misses a thing, and she also had made a very good excuse but why was it so damn hard lying t his face now?,
It felt like she had lost her voice.
"You know.. umm.. you see, my mother is sick so I went to see her,"
"you went to japan last week?"
Drat! She had totally overlooked that fact,
"I mean no.. she actually came to visit me!"
"But you just told me she's sick, "
"yes, well she became sick after coming to England you see, the weather doesn't suit her!" Misaki breathed in and out, not even a 5 year old will believe her.
"I understand" he said with deep meaning, not believing for a second of that sick mommie story, you just have to look at her and know what a bad liar she was with all the stammering and blushing and those beautiful liquid eyes filled with guilt,
But he didn't dare question her anymore, whatever the matter she didn't wanted to tell him, well, whatever he'll take it out of her anyway later.
"You are not very good at lying you know that." His voice mocked her.
She looked down knowing lying wasn't any good plus she didn't know why but she didn't wanted to lie to him.
A fresh wave of nausea hit her and she rushed to the bathroom,
Riley was holding her hair keeping them out of her way as she emptied the last can of orange juice into the sink!
After she had calmed down, she leaned near the toilet her whole body slouched,
Riley handed her a glass of water!
"Go home !"
"No!"
"you will go home, and I will drive you there!" He thundered , the one thing he couldn't bear was Misaki over working herself.
She should know her limits too.
No! she didn't wanted to go home knowing that tomorrow she'll feel the same way , so might as well get used to the nausea.
"Yes!" He ordered
"What in the world is your problem, I told you I am fine, I can very well take care of myself, I don't need the likes of you telling me how to take care of myself .I am not you puppet so you can stop ordering me now!
Misaki burst out, weeks of anger and desperation coming out as she struggled with the tears which were threatening to fall.
"Go away and leave me alone" she said weakly, her body not cooperating with her .
Riley took her face in her hands, "you are not well, my love!
He whispered into her ears holding her , and without a warning Misaki Ayuzawa fainted dead into his arms.
Misaki wasn't the type to swoon, but even she knew she had her limits, she had over worked herself again as she vaguely remembered her last words to Riley, she had snapped at him for something, she groaned he didn't deserve her anger, and she didn't knew what had came over her that time, all she knew that she was breaking, and there was no one.
She opened her eyes and saw Riley near her bed, checking her charts.
Just what she needed.
Congratulation Ms. Ayuzawa , you are 4 weeks pregnant. You could practically see Moe flowers radiating from him
She gulped , behind this fake smile she knew he was restraining himself from launching at her , blowing her head with questions,
she had hurt him, but he didn't matter? Did he?
"Riley you know..." she started but he stopped her.
"Well that explains the nausea, and the mood swings and god knows how many symptoms you've been having but as a doctor you should have been more careful , don't you think".
"Well your results are fine, a good night's sleep and you'll be fit as fine."
"But".. Riley said deeply staring at her charts .
"What I don't understand is the fresh surgery you've been through ,its advised not to go through any surgery when you are pregnant, and being a doctor you should know that." he said with a frown.
She didn't like the way he was addressing her.
"I can explain" She finally said.
"Only if you want to my love", and for the first time Misaki thought that the 'my love 'was filled with sarcasm not love.
"I have all day, I could sit beside you 24-7 until you tell me whats exactly going on with you. I could even follow you to your apartment or better I could shift there".
Something in his voice told her that he was not joking when he said it.
Misaki dumped her head in the pillows, mother of god how will she explain what happened to her and seeing Riley she didn't think she could lie anymore and personally she couldn't think of any better lies than ' hey I got knocked by a guy who I met in the bar'
she knew he'd never believe it.
Riley stared at her dumb struck, " You did that for a friend, oh for gods' sake you can stop being a martyr every once in a while, being kind is good but you have just gone over the top this time, do you have any idea what people might say and think about you. I don't know whether to laugh at your stupidity or slap your back".
"Being a bit supportive and stopping your sarcastic remarks will be a good start"
So this what happens when you tell someone about your condition.
Apparently they freak out, And make you feel extremely miserable.
"Misaki.." he started in a soft voice this time, what you did cannot be undone the least you can do is take care of yourself and that baby inside you.
She wondered for a brief moment how Riley had called Yukino's baby, a baby unlike her arrogant , son-of-a-bitch-husband.
What happened, your mood suddenly it went from depressed to I am gonna murder someone tonight- angry"
Misaki didn't bother replying to that,
"What are you going to do after the baby's born , I mean obviously you'll return it to his father but don't you think its a little weird for him"
Weird? He's practically crazy.
"He doesn't want the baby"
"WHAT" ?
"He's an asshole". Misaki said wiping a lone tear from her face thinking about how Takumi had told her to abort this child she hoping Riley didn't notice it ,
but he did, Unfortunately
"Misaki , look at me he took her face in his hands. I know this is a tough time but a guess from where I know you, you are not going to abandon this baby"
Misaki started into her blue eyes hoping how could people be so different, there was Usui who wanted to kill his own child, his flesh and blood, and here's Riley s caring about a baby who has no link with him what so ever.
"But you know something, Riley continued I will always be with you , no matter the condition, and if you want I'll even help you with this child's upbringing,"
Misaki's head started annoying her again,
What what he saying,? What did he mean when he said 'I will help you with the child.'
Was he insane or something?
"I just hope that the bastard wont create any problems? I mean yeah he decided to abandon it and all but surely he could create some troubles?"
It took Misaki a whole minute to realize who Riley was talking about.
Maybe we should sign deal with him and maybe even give him some money so that he's satisfied, he kept on speaking until he stopped when he saw Misaki's face.
"Why are you smiling? Am I that hilarious?"
She shook her head.
"I was thinking how much do pay someone who ears 20 times more than our annual income combined".
Riley mouth dropped into a huge O ,until finally his eyes narrowed
"who are you talking about?"
and Misaki sighed.
"Takumi Walker"
A/N: 'sup folks, sorry cause you must be thinking what the hell is going on here but you know Usui had acted like such a jerk that I really felt like punishing him so here ,
I created Riley Hudson, black hair, ice blue eyes which are mostly cold to other but never to out favorite heroine Misaki Ayuzawa,
a total charmer with the ladies, in other sense , near to perfection
sorry those who don't like it,
I 've realized jealousy is always the best medicine.
It was fun creating someone who could stand a chance against the blonde alien.
You'll be seeing more of Riley and more of a jealous Takumi in the upcoming chapters.
let me know whether to liked it or not.
P.S: I wont be giving up on any of my ff's anytime soon.
R&R
Love
