25) Reunited

Of all the people that could fall out of the sky, it just had to be her. What are the odds?

Everything that day was cancelled, including the dinner, as they drove to the nearest hospital. Dino couldn't help but smile; he hasn't seen Mira in years and they meet again at odd circumstances. Only she doesn't know it yet. Well, this ought to be fun.

She woke up strangely relaxed. Well, that do you know, she thought, I'm not dead. What a lucky bitch you are, yes you are.

Mira found herself gazing up at a while ceiling dotted with a single fluorescent light. Only one word fit the scene perfectly: hospital. "Aw, not again…" she groaned, shifting to her side.

"Hey there, sunshine", said a cheery voice.

Almost immediately, she sat up and found herself face to face with the blonde she grew up with. "Woah, easy there, spaz", he rose out of his chair and put a supportive arm around her shoulders, "you just fell out of a building. Wanna guess who broke your fall?"

I can only imagine. Wrapping her arms around his waist, she laughed and cried at the same time as she hugged him. Chuckling, he returned the hug. "You know, you still haven't guessed".

Mira pulled away from him, wiping her tears hastily with a smile on her face. "Small world, huh?"

"You're telling me!" he said, plopping himself next to her. "You're the one who fell on me!"

She laughed, running a keen eye on her friend. He used to be nothing more than a weak little twig, she thought, smiling fondly at the distant memory. Now he's the freaking Bucking Bronco.

Dino peered at her face and asked, "What are you smiling about?"

Just then, Mira broke out in uncontrollable fits of laughter. "Dude, you're so cute!" she said, pinching his cheek. "I can't believe I missed all this!"

"Yeah, yeah, you don't look so bad yourself", he swatted her hand away. "The doctor told us you fainted. Wanna tell me what happened?"

She wanted to say no, but his puppy dog eyes were pleasing mercilessly. This, she resorted to lying through her teeth. "I was watching the sunset from the rooftop and I fell. Thank God there was that awning down there. Otherwise, I'd have been screwed".

"No kidding", he ran a hand through his unruly blond hair with a twinkle in his eye. "Than again, you could have fallen on anyone else, but I just happened to be there".

"You didn't break anything, did you?"

Dino shook his head. "It's a good thing neither did you. We just had the doctor run some tests to see why you fainted. Once he gets back, we can get out of here and catch up".

As id on cue, the doctor strode into the room, looking at them with a pensive look on his face. "So, Doc, what's do we got?"

He hesitated for a moment, leafing through the papers at hand. "Well…" he cleared his throat and began, "…how about a baby?"

Dino looked at her quizzically, and Mira managed to mirror the expression. But in the back of her mind and in her gut, she had an inkling of what was going on. "What are you talking about?" asked Dino. "You don't mean…"

It seemed as if the doctor weren't paying attention to her; he was looking straight at Mira. "What you were doing on that building, I'll never know, but you're lucky not to have broken anything", he drew a deep breath and continued. "You should take care of yourself. You're pregnant".

She's preggers!!! .gee...
