Tala stared wide-eyed as he watched Reivin. He quickly went to her side and kneeled down beside her.

"Reivin, what's wrong?" Tala asked.

Reivin looked at him with tears in her eyes and she suddenly hugged him around the waist. "I don't know!"

"Calm down Reivin." Tala said as he ran a hand through her hair, letting it run through his fingers. Tara left the bathroom and closed the door behind her so the two could talk "It's okay, just calm down."

"It's not okay! I don't know what's happening to me!" Reivin said as she cried harder.

"Reivin, just calm down!" Tala yelled. He was losing his patience.

"W-why are you yelling at me? You never yelled at me." She said as she pulled back from the hug and looked at him. "You really hate me, don't you? You hate the fact that I'm just a stupid little girl that's weak and defenseless!"

"Reivin, don't say that. Please, don't say that." Tala said as his eyes softened. "You're not stupid, you're not weak and you're not defenseless. So please stop saying that."

"I'm sorry." Reivin said.

"And as for being a little girl, I don't think so." Tala said as he looked at her up and down.

"Tala! You pervert!" Reivin said as she turned her back to him and crossed her arms.

"But that's why you love me." He said. "But seriously, I'm worried about what happened. I think you should go to the doctor and get checked out. It's better safe than sorry."

"Tala, I don't feel comfortable about it." Reivin said. "I'm just afraid to get checked and for it to be true. I…I don't want a baby, Tala."

Tala hugged Reivin and held her protectively in his arms. "I'll go to the doctor with you. And whatever happens, I'll go through with it with you. You wont be alone. I promise."

"Thanks Tala." Reivin said as she nodded. Tala stood up from the bathroom floor and so did Reivin. They went to the living room where the others were.

"We're leaving. We'll be back in a while." Tala said as he took Reivin's hand and led her out the door.

They got to the doctor place and went inside. It looked like a regular doctor's office only that it was way bigger. There was a TV showing the news but it was on mute. There were chairs lined up around the office walls, and a table with magazines on top in the middle of the room.

There was a secretary on her desk, typing on the computer. The place was surprisingly crowded.

The two walked up to the lady at the desk and she looked up from the computer.

"Do you have an appointment?" asked the lady in a very hyper way.

"No. She needs to see the doctor right away. It's important." Tala said as he pointed at Reivin.

"Doctor Treya, Doctor Francis, Doctor Gabrielle, Doctor Murielle, or

Doctor Maya?" she asked again. Tala and Reivin sweat dropped.

"Uh…the one that does pregnancy testing." Tala said as he blinked.

"Okie-dokie!" the lady said as she smiled and looked at a clipboard. She then smiled and turned to them. "Doctor Gabrielle is available now. You may go in."

They nodded and headed to the big double doors. They walked down a hallway until they found a door that said "Doctor Gabrielle" engraved on the door. They knocked and waited for an answer.

"Come in." came a male's voice. They did as they were told and went inside.

The doctor was young, about his early twenties. He had dark blue spiked hair and dark blue eyes. You could tell he was well built even though he had a doctor coat on.

"Hello, I'm Doctor Gabrielle. Call me Gabrielle." He said as he motioned for them to sit down, and they did. "So, what brings you here?"

"She needs to see if she's pregnant or not." Tala said bluntly and Reivin sighed.

"Very well." Gabrielle said. "I need you to lay down on that check up bed while I get the radar."

Reivin sighed again and got on top of the check up bed. Tala raised and eyebrow at the doctor. Gabrielle came back with two round weird looking things, a TV-like machine, and a tube of something that looked like gel on a toothpaste bottle.

"Lay down." Gabrielle said. Reivin did as she was told and he moved forwards and raised her shirt a little so that he could see her stomach.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing!" Tala yelled as he growled at the doctor.

"Tala, that's how these things work." Reivin said and he crossed his arms.

Gabrielle put some of the gel-like thing on her stomach and placed the round things on top of the gel, and he looked at the screen.

"Hm…I see?" Gabrielle said. "Very interesting?" ((A/N Couldn't help but imitate that poofter Ollivander ))

"What do you see, damn it!" Tala yelled, obviously annoyed with the doctor.

"No need to be rude." The doctor said. "But, there seems to be nothing wrong. No signs of pregnancy…"

"Yay!" Reivin and Tala said at the same time.

"But…" Gabrielle said.

"But?""

"It's still two early to tell. You might have to come back in two weeks or so."

"What?" Tala said, still annoyed.

"Well, the throwing up is a symptom of pregnancy, but she could also be in a lot of stress. Maybe something caused her to release any of the stress she might have accumulated. The stress release might have made her have sort of a breakdown. It's very common."

"So, I'm not pregnant?" Reivin asked.

"You'll have to come back in two weeks. But so far, no. You're not."

"Yes!" Tala yelled as he hugged her. He let go off her and she got down from the check up bed and wiped the gel off. "Thanks a lot doc. See ya in two weeks!"

Gabrielle blinked when they left. "Most people would be disappointed to know they're not pregnant…" he shook his head and went back to his paperwork.

Reivin and Tala got back to the hotel. Rei was cooking again, Tara was watching TV on the couch and Kai and Katana were nowhere to be seen.

"We're back." Reivin said.

"How'd it go?" Tara asked.

"The doctor said I'm not. But I need to go back in two weeks to actually make sure since it's too early to tell." Reivin said and Tara nodded. "So, where's Katana?"

"In her room." Tara said. "With Kai."

"I don't want to know." Tala said as he sat down on the couch and so did Reivin.

"Do you hear that?" Reivin asked suddenly.

"What?"

"Listen carefully."

Everyone got quiet and the faint sound of a violin could be heard. They looked around and noticed that the music was coming from Katana's room.

Reivin and Tara stood up and went to Katana's door. They pressed their ears against the door and the music could be heard more clearly. It was a beautiful song actually. It was so flawless; no mistakes on the notes were made. Reivin and Tara turned the doorknob and walked inside.

They blinked. Katana was wearing a white long dress and her hair up in a messy bun. She was standing by the balcony as she softly played the violin. Kai was in front of her, and he was painting a picture of her.

"Um, what are you doing?" Tara asked. Katana and Kai, now noticing that they entered, eyes widened. Kai covered the painting with a white cloth and Katana blushed at being caught wearing a dress.

"Why didn't you guys knock?" Katana said as she rolled her eyes.

"It was open so we let ourselves in. Besides, we're all good friends here." Reivin said as she smiled. "So, what were you doing?"

"Playing violin…" Katana said.

"Well, what was Kai doing?"

"Painting…"

"Okay, let me be specific. WHY?" Reivin said as she rolled her eyes. Katana sighed and looked at Kai who just shrugged.

"We started a painting about a week ago. I painted Kai and he painted me. Happy?" Katana said.

"Why didn't you just tell us?" Tara asked.

"Kai didn't want me to. Besides, I don't want to be seen in a dress." Katana said. Kai too the cloth away from the painting and Reivin and Tara got closer. They gasped when they saw it.

It was a beautiful painting to say the least. Katana was on the left side of the painting, and Kai was on the right. They were staring into each other's eyes as they played violin in the night.

"It's beautiful! Who knew you were so artistic!" Reivin said.

"Yeah, so what did you want anyway?" Katana asked as she got back into position and Kai started painting again.

"Oh yeah, Reivin isn't pregnant." Tara said. "Well, they think she isn't. But she has to go back to the doctor in two weeks to check again."

Kai suddenly growled. "Go away!" (A/N Ha! I finally have him in character for a short bit! I feel soo happy!))

"Eep!" both girls said as they ran out the door.

"Kai, that wasn't nice." Katana said.

"I don't care. They were annoying me." Kai said and went back to painting. Katana sighed and began playing again.

Both girls sighed and sat on the couch.

"What a grouch." Tara said and Reivin nodded. "So, what do you wanna do now?"

"I want to go shopping. I don't know why, but I have a sudden urge to torment the guys." Reivin said with a slight evil smirk.

"I like the way you think." Tara said as they both looked at Tala and Rei who were at the kitchen.

"Uh-oh…" Tala and Rei said as they gulped.
