Cheetoz and Grapes
Danni's eyes fluttered open. She looked around. She was in a hospital. Apparently she had blacked out during the decend of the mountain. To her left was a little table full of gifts and cards. She sat up and grabbed the first gift next to her. She took the card off the top and opened it. It was from Britt.
Danni,
Hey, I'm sorry I got you into all this. You better get better. Heh heh....that sounded funny. Anyway...get better for the sake of the small, breathing form inside of you. By the way, your boyfriend is tearing himself up about this. If you didn't get anything from him, don't blame him or get mad, I know he loves you.
Britt
She opened the package. Inside the little square box was a tiny little pair of white shoes. Danni smiled and placed the shoes back in the box and reached for the next card. It was from Meryl and Millie.
Miss Danni,
'They should stop calling me miss...' she thought to herself.
We hope you feel better soon, we miss you a lot.
Meryl n Millie
There were a bunch of other things on the table, but for the moment they would have to wait. Britt, Meryl, Millie, Wolfwood, and Jacki had just walked in. They all smiled at her. She grinned right back at them. Danni noticed that Jacki and Wolfwood were awfully close to each other. She winked at Jacki and Wolfwood looked at her funny. He scowled at her and they sat around the bed.
"Hey guys," Danni said sitting up against the bed, positioned like a chair.
"How are you feeling Miss Danni?" Millie asked still smiling like always.
'I should be more like her,' Danni thought.
"I'm feeling ok, kinda numb though," she said through a laugh. "Where's Vash?" she asked looking at each of the expressions they wore. They were all sad and looked like they wanted to hide something that they couldn't. Wolfwood was the first to say anything.
"He's in the hotel."
"Why?" she asked, figuring why, but she wanted to hear them say it.
"Well...he's kinda pissed at himself for taking Legato's life. He won't talk to anyone. He only told me to tell you that he hopes you get better."
"Oh...." she said sounding really disappointed and crushed.
"Danni, it's not your fault, you know how he is, with the whole Rem thing," Britt said holding her hand and squeezing it gently.
"Yeah, I was just hoping he wouldn't beat himself up over it, it's kinda my fault..."
"No it's not, don't tell yourself that," Meryl said, finally finding her voice.
"He'll be ok, don't worry so much," Jacki said in an reassuring voice.
"I hope so."
Britt cleared her throat.
"Huh..." Danni said not knowing what she was doing.
"Don't you think you want to tell anyone anything?" she asked knowing Danni knew what she was implying. The others looked at her expectantly.
"Er......ok yeah....Britt's pregnant."
"Hey what!? I...no!! That's not how it was supposed to work!!!"
Everyone looked at her shocked.
"Legato?" Wolfwood asked.
"Yeah...well...DANNI IS TOO!!"
Everyone's head turned her way...eyes still wide with shock. Wolfwood just leaned back in his chair.
"I know."
"You what!?" everyone yelled at the same time.
"Vash right?"
"Duh!"
"It figures."
"Ok, I'd really like to discuss this more right now, but I need you to go get me some cheese-doodles and grapes." Danni said nodding with a pleading look across her face and in her eyes.
"O.o" was all the reaction she received.
"C'mon it's not my fault!!" ____________________________________________________________________________ __
