The Paths We Take

Author's Note: Thank you to all who read my first chapter. I'm sorry I couldn't make it longer, but I had no time and also my brother makes fun of me enough for reading fan fiction so if he found out that I actually write it, he would never let it go so I am writing this in secret. And also thanks to the reviews that I got.

To Beautiful Witch Hunter Robin: Thanks for the compliment. I will try to make it longer and I am happy to write the next "chappie."

To Parnoid: Oh yes I will go on. I have sometimes wondered about Robin and pregnancy also. Thanks very much for the review.

To Ryui and Gokuru-Chan: Thanks very much. I will try to keep updated and I LOVE Witch Hunter Robin too. And Robin and Amon make a FABULOUS couple.

One final note is that as soon as summer is here, I promise to write more chapters and stories. I have so many ideas that it's impossible to write them all now with me in school. Well, I hope you like the next chapter!

Chapter Two: Hope

Robin just sat at the kitchen table thinking over her newly discovered horror when Amon walked in. "How are you feeling?" he asked lovingly. Ever since he found out he was going to be a father, Amon revealed a new loving, caring, happy side of him that had been hidden away for years. "Robin?" he asked worriedly when she didn't respond. "Robin?" "Wha..." "Oh I didn't see you come in. I was thinking about something," she said uneasily. Amon sat down and just smiled. It was unusual to see him do that but now things were different and he just couldn't help it. "Well anyways," he continued, "we need to start thinking about the color of the baby's room. I think we should go with something that is good for boys and girls like yellow sense you didn't want to know what we were having before hand. Also, we need to think about who's going to be Godparents. Nagira and Doujima are financially stable and married so family ethics is of no concern but I don't know if I'd trust that brother of mine to raise my child. Who knows what kind of ideas he'd put in the kids head. And Doujima, well she'd have the poor child in a new outfit every minute. Miho is good with kids but she's single and that might make it hard for her to take care of him or her by herself and don't even get me started with Sakaki." Amon just went on talking while Robin starred off into the distance. "What's wrong?" he asked with a worried tone. All of a sudden, Robin stopped staring at the wall and gave Amon the coldest look he had ever seen. "Look at him." She thought. "He is the reason my life turned to pure hell with him always making things so difficult. If he had just let me be, I wouldn't have been on the run after the factory collapsed. Thanks to him, I was hunted like an animal. Wait! What am I thinking?" Her mind slipped back and forth from sanity and insanity. "I would've been hunted either way. It was my powers that caused the hunt. No! It was that bastard's fault! He had to help them hunt me. No! He stopped himself from doing it. I owe him my life. No! I don't owe him anything. He was so cold to me for a long time. But that is the way he is. He really did care." In her mind, went from one side to the other. Her good side was fighting her power to take control of her brain. All the while she starred at Amon with the cold look with occasional kindness then back to the cold stare. "Ahhh...Robin, are you..." "Shut up!" she snapped. "You bastard! No, Amon get away!" But her warning was too late. All of a sudden, her power took control and started Amon's sleeve on fire. "Say what!" was all Amon could say in a very high-pitched voice before he saw that he was on fire. Luckily, Robin's good side put up a fight a diverted the blast and made it a non-deadly one. With a few swift motions, Amon beat the fire out and both people just starred at one another until Amon broke the silence. "Robin, if your mad at me just say it. I know your pregnancy is no picnic but that doesn't mean you have to yell at me and set me on fire just because I don't have to go through what you have to." "I...I'm sorry." And with that she ran off to the bedroom and plopped on the bed and started to cry. Shortly after, Amon walked in with a bewildered look on his face. "Robin, what's going on that I don't know about? Are you... oh no." The terrible thought struck him like a bolt of lighting. "No please no. Not now," was all that he could say. "Please don't tell me that your powers are.....and I have to...." But he didn't have to say another word. Robin answered him with a sorrowful nod. Fear and sadness instantly filled Amon's heart. He couldn't believe it. Not now. Not when they had just started a new life. Amon reached over to her and embraced her, afraid to let go. "Why now?" he said. "Why not in a couple years or at least after the baby was born." "Amon," she said through fits of tears. I want you to let me have my baby first. Then as soon as it's born, kill me. I can't live knowing that with every minute I put you and our child at risk. I know deep down that I can hold out until then. If it's to save our child's life, I know I can do it. But by all means, try to save the baby and do whatever is needed for it to live. It's over for me. At least he or she can have a chance at life." "I promise, I will try to do everything in my power to save both of you. There just has to be a way somehow. After all of what we went through, there's no way I giving up without a fight. I now you have what it takes to save both of your lives. I've always believed that and if anything can save you, it's definitely going to be our love for one another." "But Amon," she asked, "Aren't you worried that I might kill you. I mean, my powers are after all the most dangerous. What can possibly save me?" "Like I said, our love. And just in case, I'm going to go ask Nagira if he has any ideas. There was no way that Amon was about to pull out his orbo gun and start shooting. Thing's were different now, and he knew deep down there was a way. This is the path that he is going to take and nothing will make him take another one. "Oh and Robin," he said as he was walking out, "stay strong, and try not to burn the house down. We're not done paying for it yet."

Well that was Chapter 2. How did you like it? Please send me a review and tell me what you think. I promise to write more as soon as possible. And in Chapter 3 Amon visits his wayward brother. (who is cool by the way)
