Koichi walked into the room furious.
"How could you!" he yelled at her. "Why did you try and kill my wife!"
"O please… like you do not have the faintest idea?" she said looking at him
"Tell me!" he yelled slamming his fist on the table.
"Because, she is not meant for you! You were just fine before you meant that whore and then you decided to throw your life away…your career…everything….for…her." she said looking at me with disgust.
"You are insane you know that!"
She just looked at him.
"You are the most insane person I have ever met."
"You are wrong about that…how do you think I found out where she was?" she said smiling an evil grin.
How did she know I was going to be there?
"Who told you?" he said looking at her.
"Alright Koichi, that's enough." I cop said walking in and taking him out. "Who?!" he yelled as the door was shut.
"Rosalie." He said walking back to me.
"Why…why did she…"
"Shh…its over now." He said wiping tears away.
I did not even realize that I had started crying.
"Let's go home." He said taking my hand as we walked out of the precinct.
We get home about 3 and go to bed.
Mariana and the boys were staying at my mother for the night.
We are lying in bed but I can not sleep.
"Why would your mother do this?" I ask as I am lying again thus chest listening to his heart beat.
"I do not know. I knew she was not fond of you but I did not think in a million years she would try and kill you."
"How did she know where I was at…who told her. No on except you and a few other people knew where I was going to be there."
"I know."
"What if Ai found out somehow and told her. She was still pissed when we last saw her."
"They already checked her out. She was out of the country when it happened and there were no phone calls from her to my mother." He said stroking my hair. "Just try and get some sleep." he said kissing the top of my head.
Even with everything going on somehow I still managed to fall asleep.
When I awoke Koichi was not in bed. When I looked at the clock it said 10:27.
I got up and put my robe on.
When I came out of the kitchen I saw the boys chasing each other around and Mariana laying on the couch asleep. Koichi was working on his laptop.
"Why didnt you wake me?" I asked.
"You need to sleep Ro, besides I can handle the kids." he said continuing to work on his laptop.
"Okay..." I said pouring myself a cup of coffee. "Mariana, get dressed. We have your appointment at 1." I said walking back in our room and taking a shower.
We arrived to the doctor and went in.
"OK Mariana, I am just going to ask you a few questions okay?"
"Okay." she said nervously.
"Relax Mariana, Dr. Kiwa is the same doctor I see."
"Great….no matter what I do you will find out." she said smiling a bit.
"What do you mean 'no matter what I do'?" I said looking at her.
"Relax Mariana, anything that you say to me or come to me for is protected my doctor patient confidentiality. I wouldn't be able to tell her unless you say it is okay for me to do so."
We went through the standard questions and then did an ultrasound.
"Okay Mariana...it looks like you are about almost 16 weeks."
"4 months?!" I said shocked. "How did you not figure out before then?" I said looking at her.
"I just thought it was all the stress from everything that was going on. Then when I started relaxing and going to school I started to… I never thought that..." she said looking scared.
"Everything will be fine Mariana. I promise." I said holding her hand.
"She is right, everything is fine. The baby's heart beat is strong." She said smiling at her. "Everything looks good. I will see you again in a month."
"Thank you for seeing her Riu." I said as we left the room to let Mariana get dressed.
"Of course Rosalie, it is no trouble. But here is a prescription for some prenatal vitamins that she will need to start taking in the morning." She said handing me the paper.
"Okay." Mariana said opening the door. "Can we go now."
"Sure." I said as we left.
We returned home and I found my mother at the house.
"Mom, what are you doing here?"
"Koichi called me. He said Detective Mitsuko called."
"What?"
"I figured he would tell you. They finally got his mother to say who told her where you were and to hit you."
"Did he say who?" I asked as I grabbed my keys.
"No but..."She said as I was heading to the door.
"Mariana stay with my mother and your brothers." I said as I left.
I drove down to the police station as I tried figuring out who would want to do something like that to me.
The only person that came to mind was Ai and she was gone when it all happened.
I walked into the police station as Koichi was walking out.
"Koichi, what happened?"
"Ro, what are you doing here?"
"My mother told me that they called you. Why didn't you call me?" I said trying to go around him.
"Wait Ro," he said blocking my way."
"Let me through." I said looking at him.
"Ro, we need to talk first."
"Who is it?"
"Ro, wait..." he said as he tried stopping me.
I went through to the squad and saw detective Mitsuko looking through a window.
"Mrs. Natsukawa, I assume your husband has talked to you."
"No, why...who is it?" I said looking through the glass….I froze.
"Ro...i said wait." he said coming up behind me.
Of all the people I thought….this person was my absolute last thought...in fact this person never even crossed my mind to have done something like this to me.
