Chapter 21

Rain entered the townhouse after a long day at work and she noticed the lights on the living room were on. She had stopped by Dr. Kasshu's house and received information about the moving to the colony and that she had to do it soon. They were leaving in two days. Rain spent almost 2 hours with him getting all the information and talking to the owner of the hospital. She got accepted and got a office waiting for her when she arrives. During the morning Rain saw Schwarz around the hospital and she learned that he was giving blood but she didn't have time to stop by and see how he was doing.

Now it was 7:30 and she was back at the townhouse the place was quiet not even the tv was on. "Schwarz? Are you here?"

"Mmm" she heard faintly. Rain walked to the living room and saw Schwarz siting on the couch with his laptop on his lap. "Hey, welcome home." He waved his arm and she saw the evidence of his blood donation.

"You gave blood?"

"Yes, but next time I should do it when I'm done with my morning work out. I was playing tennis and almost fainted." He laughed of his clumsiness.

"Are you alright now?"

"Yep." He didn't look up to see her, he was just typing.

"I'm going to take a shower."

"Have you eaten?"

"Yes, but listen when I get out we need to talk."

"Very well."

Rain left up stairs to take her shower. Half and hour later Rain was in the kitchen looking through the fridge. She was hungry often but she didn't felt like eating much because she lelt like throwing up lately. She was a doctor and when she thought about the cause and it made her more sick.

"Rain?" She turned around when she heard his voice. He was on the doorway with his hands on the doorframe. "Are okay?"

"Schwarz we need to talk."

"Umm okay." He sat down on a near by chair and looked at Rain. "What is it?"

Rain kept her distance, she knew Schwarz but not enough in how he would take unexpected news especially a big one. Schwarz now had a concerned look Rain looked spaced out and she didn't seem to answer to his talking.

"I think I'm pregnant." She looked at his expression and she could imagine his mind trying to process the information. He was quiet and looking at her with no expression. "Schwarz?"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm late."

"Late?"

"My period, I'm 2 days late."

"Oh… that's not bad, maybe its just late." Schwarz stood up and walked to the cabinets to take out something to eat.

"Schwarz but how about I'm not just late and I am pregnant."

He turned around and looked at her from across the room. "If you are pregnant then we will talk it through and figure out what to do and if you are not then we don't have to worry about it." Schwarz took out the jar of cookies and took a few in a plate. He walked past her and went back to the living room. Rain frowned, she thought maybe Schwarz would say something more useful or supportive.

"Schwarz I'm leaving to Neo Japan's space colony in two days."

Schwarz sighed and looked up, "listen I'm sorry I'm not supportive as you expect me to be but this news are not something I'm use to and to tell you the truth… not something I like to hear," he told her, "But I'll do what I have to do, if I need to get in the roll of a father then I will."

Rain smiled, "Schwarz its not that, the hospital wants me and your father up there soon. I have to leave. I'm not leaving because of you I'm leaving because I have to."

Schwarz nodded, "If you do have my child…" He stood up and walked to her, "Then you will have to marry me." He kissed her lightly. When he pulled away Rain was smiling. "IF you are pregnant."

"So you wouldn't marry me if I was not?"

"I didn't say that… If you are not pregnant then it just gives us more time to date." He kissed her again. "I personally think that you will make a wonderful wife."

Rain smiled.

Rain was already in bed and Schwarz still in the living room musing, debating wether or not he was happy with the news. He knew it was going fast but he also knew that Rain thought the same, they had only slept together 2 times and the other nights they just layed in bed asleep because they were tired of the day they had in the morning. Of course he used protection the last time but during the first time he was cautious that he didn't came when he was in her.

"Argg!" he stood up, Why wasn't I more careful! Schwarz stood up and walked outside. Knowing no where to go he ended up going to Domon's house and knocking on the door. Dr. Kasshu opened the door, "Kyoji, what are you doing here so late?"

"Dad, can we talk?"

"Of course, come on in." The two went to the living room and Schwarz sat down on the couch. "What's bothering you Kyoji?"

"Rain…" he said is a tired voice.

"Rain? Why?"

"She's pregnant." He rested his face on his palms. "At least that's what she thinks. I'm afraid because I know that if she is pregnant that the child is mine."

"Then you look after it Kyoji. There is nothing you can do if she is pregnant."

"That's what bothers me. I'm always given options and now… I just don't think I'm ready to start a family." Schwarz hid his face with his palms.

"Kyoji, you don't think that you are ready but I can guarantee you that Rain is not ready either. And Kyoji I'm always around if you need help."

"…Right…" he sighed.

Short I know but I'm running out of ideas, so I'm thinking of ending this soon whatcha think? Maybe you guys can give me some ideas.
