By the way, this chapter is 3 months after the last. Sorry about the cut off but.....anyways a LOT more dialogue than usual, this chapter is really boring but still has a twist to it. Hope you enjoy anyways.
"Hey Miranda, you look like you've gained some weight over the last two months...it doesn't seem healthy."
"LAVI! That isn't any of your business."
"None of my business huh? Miranda's my friend I have a right to be worried."
"You don't have to be so rude about it, Lavi."
Lavi and Lenalee looked over at Miranda. Her head was faced down and she looked like she was crying.
"Uhh...Miranda....I didn't mean to offend you."
"I know Lavi, it's okay."
Miranda stood up and gave a weak smile.
"You were just looking out for me."
Miranda walked away, leaving Lavi and Lenalee dumbfounded. She walked into Komui's office.
"Miranda! You can't just walk in here, the Chief is very busy."
"It's alright Reever. I'm sure she has a reason for bursting in."
Reever shook his head, and went back to work. Miranda stood her ground.
"Sit Miranda."
Miranda did so. The two sat there looking at each other for a while. Neither wanting to speak first.
"Miranda....I think I know why you're in my office today."
Miranda looked up at him. He was smiling. Miranda gave him a confused look.
"Ah...I suppose I don't know then."
Komui waited for Miranda to explain. Unfortunately it wasn't that easy. Miranda opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.
"Chief Komui....I...I'm...."
Miranda couldn't get the words out. She knew her affection had shown more than it should have. Still, it was too hard to say it. She looked down again.
"You're pregnant, aren't you Miranda?"
Miranda looked up at him.
"How could you tell?"
"Hmm? Oh, lucky guess."
Miranda looked down again. She was somewhat ashamed of what had happened. She placed a hand on her stomach, and started to cry. Komui felt uncomfortable with the situation.
"Miranda. I understand how you must feel. The father beind a Noah, and all....but with Tyki's memory loss I suppose...."
Miranda looked up at him, surprised. She though Komui would be ashamed and kick her out of the Black Order. And what about her Innocence. Would it see the child as a betrayal? What would come of a child born from a Noah and an Exorcist? Miranda felt her worry increase. She wanted to be an exorcist, but what about the baby? She had no idea of what to do. She started to cry again.
"Miranda you should rest. Let the Order worry about this. In the meantime I suppose you should talk with Tyki about names. We'll contact Hevlaska in the morning."
Miranda shook her head and went off to bed. She had a feeling that, regardless of what Komui said, her past would come back to haunt her.
