Lines to Cross

Robin stood in the bathroom, biting her lip. The test was positive. It was the third one she had taken. So she didn't think this was a fluke. Her first reaction was joy. It was closely followed by fear and nervousness. It looked like her birth control had failed spectacularly. She hadn't planned on this at all. Neither of them had. Children weren't something she and Amon had ever really talked about. They had only really been settled in one place for about a year now. This would change everything.

She blinked and checked the results again. All three tests were still positive. Part of her was still in disbelief that she had even tried one of the tests in the first place. It had been sort of a spur of the moment decision. True, she hadn't been feeling well lately, but Robin had mostly assumed that she was just coming down with the flu. However, when the first test had come back positive, Robin hadn't been sure it was right. She had promptly bought two more tests.

But she didn't think that she could deny it any longer. It looked pretty certain that she was pregnant. And Robin still didn't know what to do about that. She wasn't even entirely sure how she felt about that. She felt torn between joy and fear. She didn't know if she could do this. What should she do? What could she do? She would have to tell Amon about this. She didn't know how to do that either. Her hand went to her stomach. Her heart was dancing wildly to a rhythm that seemed far to fast.

Robin didn't know how long she stood there staring into the mirror. She clearly had been there quite a while though for Amon came looking for her.

"Robin, is everything all right?" He paused in the doorway, taking in the scene before him.

She struggled to find the right words. Amon glanced around the room and apparently came to a conclusion. He hugged her gently, holding her close. "Really?"

Robin nodded. "Yes."

He smiled at her before kissing her softly. "It will be all right, sweetheart."

His words were music to her ears, and exactly what she needed to hear. Robin still didn't know how Amon knew that. For someone who tended to be remarkably aloof and standoffish to most people, he had somehow developed an uncannily accurate sense of knowing exactly what was going on in both her head and her heart and knowing what she needed to hear. Nagira said it was because she was the only one Amon cared enough about to bother.

He covered her hand that was still resting on her stomach with his own. Robin took a deep breath, feeling much of her nervousness disappear. This was going to change things, but she didn't think that was a bad thing.
