I woke up the next morning and Koichi was not in bed.
I walked into the living room and he was walking around talking on the phone.
"Yes…ok. Call me if they say anything." He said hanging up the phone.
"Who was that?" I asked him.
"I just called Vince to see if there was anything else we could do."
"What did he say?"
"Nope, all we can do now is wait for them to make their descision." He said sitting down on the couch.
I went and sat next to him and laid my head on his lap.
"You ok?" he asked feeling my forehead.
"I'm fine." I said closing my eyes.
"You feel a little warm. Did you ever go to the doctor?"
"No."
"Rosalie." He scolded me.
"I haven't had the chance to with everything going on at work and with Dillon I just haven't had the time to Koichi."
"Alright." He said reaching behind the couch and grabbing the phone.
"What are you doing?"
"I am making you an appointment to go see Dr. Ikeda." he said dialing the number.
"Koichi, I don't need to see him I am fine." I said trying to grab the phone.
"No, you have been like this for a while and I want Eito to look at you."
There was no arguing with him at all.
He was on the phone when there was a knock at the door.
I got up and went to answer it.
I opened the door and was shocked to see who it was.
"What are you doing here?"
"I came to talk to Koichi." Ai said just walking in.
"You need to leave." I said following behind her as she went into the living room.
"Ok thank." Koichi said hanging up the phone and turning around. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"We need to talk." She said crossing her arms.
"No we don't, leave."
"Koichi…"
"I am not going to speak with you now leave." He said walking over an opening the door.
"I know you want custody of Dillon."
"And it is obvious you don't since you signed over your rights to use months ago." I said glaring at her.
"You stay out of this." She said turning to me. "If you know that then you know what I do want."
"Money, I offered to help you when I first met Dillon and you said no."
"Because I don't want Dillon, I just want the money."
"That is not how it works Ai."
"Then you won't be getting Dillon." She said as she started walking out the door.
Koichi shut the door as she left and called Vince.
"Vince, she was just here…yes I know that…ok thanks."
"What did he say?"
"To meet him in his office."
"Alright, I will go get ready." I said walking into the bedroom.
"No, you are going to the doctor; I am going to talk to Vince."
"Koichi…"
"Rosalie Asami Natsukawa, you are going to the doctor end of discussion." He said walking back out into the living room.
Wow my whole name. He doesn't use that unless he is pissed.
I finished getting ready and went out into the living room where Koichi was waiting for me.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"I guess. Are you sure you don't want me to go with you to talk to Vince?"
"No, I am taking you to the doctor and then your mother is picking you up." he said starting the car and pulling out of our driveway.
Koichi's POV
I dropped Rosalie off at the doctor's office and went to see Vince.
"Come in." Vince said as I knocked.
"Hey."
"So what is this about her coming to your house?" he said gesturing for me to sit.
"Well, I was on the phone and Rosalie went to answer the door. The next thing I see is Ai in our living room."
"What did she say?"
"She said that we needed to talk."
"About?"
"I didn't give her a chance to say exactly but I think it was about the money."
"Okay." He said writing all this down.
"I told her we had nothing to talk about and she said she knew that we wanted full custody of Dillon. Then Rosalie said that it was obvious she didn't since she signed her rights over."
"Okay, what happened then?"
"Ai turned around and told Rosalie to shut up and looked at me and said that I know what she wants. I told her I offered her money to help with Dillon when I first met him and she refused. She then said that she doesn't want Dillon. She just wanted the money. I told her that is not how it works. She then said that we wouldn't be getting Dillon then and walked out of our apartment."
"And that was it?"
"Yes."
"Where is Rosalie?"
"She had a doctor's appointment."
"Alright, I got all this and I will give a call to their lawyer and the judge to see what this will all mean."
"What do you think will happen?"
"It depends if they believe it or not. If they believe it, it would really help your case obviously."
"And if they don't?"
"Then it will look really bad on your side. Making you look like you are willing to lie to get what you want."
"I have nothing to gain from this whole situation except the chance to raise my son."
"I know, and I agree with you one hundred percent Koichi. But it is just not up to me you know that."
"I know." I said sighing.
We sat and talking for about an hour before I left.
"Thanks for seeing me." I said standing up and shaking his hand.
"Of course, if this happens again just call me and let me know."
"I will, see you later." I said leaving his office.
I got home and saw that her mother was still there.
"I'm home." I said walking in the door.
Her mother was in the kitchen making some tea.
"Hello mother." I said walking in and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Hello Koichi, she is in the bedroom lying down. I was just making the tea." She said putting a pot of water on the stove.
"Thank you." I said walking back into our room.
I opened the door and saw Rosalie sitting on the bed talking on the phone.
"No I haven't…yes…I got to go." She said hanging up. "Welcome home."
"Who was that?"
"That was work."
"Is everything ok?"
"Here is your tea Rosalie." Said her mother brining in the tea.
"Mom, can you give us a minute."
"Sure, I actually need to go home and tell you father that…"
"Mother!" Rosalie yelled.
Her mother nodded and left the room.
"Rosalie, what is going on? What did Dr. Ikeda say?"
"Well," she said standing up and walking over to the dresser to grab her purse. "He said that what I have been feeling is normal." She said digging around in her purse.
"Normal?"
"Yes." She said turning around. "Here." She said handed me a picture.
I looked at it and couldn't believe what I was looking at.
"Say something." She said looking at me.
"Wh….H…"I couldn't even say one word.
"I know, that is what I did when he told me."
"What does he suggest we do?"
"Surgery since it is still small it will be easier to make sure we get it all."
"Okay, let's go talk to a specialist." I said looking at her.
She had a scared look on her face and was crying.
"Hey, it will be okay." I said wrapping her in hug. "Everything will be okay." I said running her back.
"But…what if something happens and they miss it and…"
"We will figure it out. You will be fine Rosalie, you have to be here when Dillon comes back remember."
I just sat with her on the edge of the bed holding her as she cried.
She finally fell asleep so a laid her on the bed and covered her up.
I went out into the living room and called around to find the best specialist I could find.
