Chapter 15: A Miserable Day
Robin woke up to a bright ray of sunshine. She covered her eyes. Touko was walking towards her.
"Hey! Get up! You have a doctors appointment in less than two hours!" Touko poked Robin. Robin just moaned and rolled over.
Touko flipped the blankets off of her roommate. Robin curled up. Touko rolled Robin off of the couch she was sleeping on.
Finally, Robin gave up. She got up, got some breakfast. Then, she fixed up her hair, and left to go to the doctors.
When she got there, there weren't any patients. No body was sitting in the waiting room.
Robin signed herself in.
"You can have your appointment early if you want....nobody is here as you can see." The nurse at the desk said. When Robin nodded, she called the doctor.
The doctor led Robin through a narrow hallway. She opened a door and Robin went into a room with some strange objects.
"Ok, so, Robin, since you're pregnant, well, first, is your job one that involves sitting at a desk?" The doctor looked at Robin, an eyebrow raised.
"No, I hu- I mean I am active at my job." Robin wasn't about to say she hunted witches.....she almost did though.
'You idiot!' Robin screamed at herself in her head, 'You almost told one of the most important secrets around!'
"Ok, So Robin, since you are at least six months pregnant, you will have to take a leave at work. I can write you a note for your boss if you'd like?"
"No, I'll tell him myself."
"Ok, so, can I have you take a seat here in this chair?" The doctor pointed to an enormous patient chair. The weird objects were all around it. Robin wasn't sure if she wanted to sit there. But she did anyway.
The doctor pulled a machine over to Robin's side. Then, she put the extended part of the machine on Robin's stomach.
"Ahh, you did get bigger than the last time I saw you." The doctor chuckled.
Robin looked down. She hadn't noticed that her stomach was swollen a little until then.
The doctor turned on the machine. a chart started to get written on by the machine.
"This machine will tell you how big the baby is, how much it ways, and if it is a boy or a girl. Pretty cool eh?" The doctor seemed to like the technology. Robin didn't like I at all.
When the doctor was done moving the object around Robin's stomach, she pulled the chart off the machine and read it.
"Well, your baby is about seven inches tall right now, weighs about three pounds, and is a girl. Congratulations. Anyways, we need to do some more tests."
As they went through all the tests, Robin thought about how her life would be with a baby. Would Touko baby-sit for her? Or would she just be annoyed? If Amon finally had a reality check and let Robin and the newly born live with him, how would that go?
"Ok, We're all done." the doctor finally said after about a dozen tests. "So, remember to tell your boss ok? See you sometime soon!"
Robin walked back to the front desk. She hated it that she had to do all of those tests. She probably would have to do it again. The nurse at the desk gave her another appointment schedule, and then told Robin she was free to go.
Robin drove to the STN-J head quarters. She saw two black cars and a motorcycle pass her. She knew she could just go in.
"Hi Robin!"Mister Kosaka said. This was a rare mood. "How was your doctors appointment? Ready to go on paid leave?"
Robin was in Mister Kosaka's office. She was glad that nobody was there, except for Michael, who was blasting music in his earphones.
"I guess." Robin said miserably.
"Oh, don't be like that! I wish I could just go on paid leave for an injury or something. Just look at the positives." Mister Kosaka ushered Robin out the door.
Robin walked down and got on her Vespa. She drove home. When she walked into the apartment her and Touko shared, Touko wasn't there. There was a note on the table that said,
Hi! How was your appointment? You can tell me when I get back from grocery shopping. You don't have to help me unload when I get back, it's only going to be a few bags.
-Touko
Robin sighed. She took her coat off, and walked over to the couch. She laid down and slept.
Touko walked in. She walked to the kitchen. Then she noticed Robin was sleeping on the couch. She tiptoed over to the kitchen and quietly put the groceries away. She walked back to the door. The light on the phone was blinking. She pushed the message button.
"Robin," Amon's voice was low, "Call me back. I need to talk to you as soon as possible."
Touko left the message on the machine. She walked back to the kitchen. Robin was there, taking an Aspirin.
"Well, hello there!" Touko smiled. "How's the baby?"
Robin choked on her water. "Oh, fine. It's a girl."
Touko, much to Robin's dismay, ran over to Robin and hugged her.
"Congratulations! Does the soon-to-be father know yet?" Touko smiled again.
"No.....he doesn't."
"Well, you can call him. He left a message telling you to call him A-S-A-P."
Robin nodded and walked to the phone. Touko didn't want to hear the conversation so she watched TV.
Robin dialed Amon's cell phone number. She looked at the clock. He would have gotten out of work by now.
"Yes?" Amon's irritated voice asked.
"Amon, you called me?" Robin said semi-sweetly.
"Oh, yes. So about your crystal, Michael found the name of it. I didn't know if you knew of it....it almost sounded familiar to me. The name is, Orbitannica Crystal."
"I....might have.....I don't exactly know though."
"I was told you are on paid leave. Can I meet you somewhere today?"
"I can leave right now if you want."
"Meet me at the park near your apartment. I need to show you something that others cannot see."
Amon hung up. Robin grabbed her coat.
"Touko, I am going somewhere for a little, I'll be back!" Robin yelled down the hallway. She didn't wait for an answer. She hurried down and got on her Vespa.
'What is it Amon wants to show me that is so secret?' Robin couldn't think of what it could be.
Amon reached the park before Robin did. When he saw her drive up, he got something out of his car. Robin walked over to him. She pointed to a bench that was in some trees.
"What is it you want to show me?" Robin asked. She was eyeing the package Amon had.
When they sat down, Amon got a small bag out of the package. Inside, Robin could see another pendant, like hers, but it had a deep shade of violet.
"Is that....an Orbitannica crystal?" Robin picked the crystal out of the bag. She held it up.
"It is." Amon's voice was mono-tone. Michael told me that if you set both crystals together, one of them will absorb the other's power. Karasuma's mother had given her the crystal before she died. Karasuma does not want it."
"So you're saying we should see witch one will be stronger?" Robin raised her eyebrow.
"Yes."
Robin set the violet crystal on the ground. She took off her own crystal. She set it next to the other one.
In a matter of seconds, the violet crystal was being absorbed into Robin's crystal. When it disappeared, Robin's crystal was violet. But, within a light flash, her crystal had turned back into it's normal color.
Amon grabbed the crystal and quickly put it on Robin. He stood back. The crystal started to glow. Robin gasped. A red aura evolved around Robin. But, as quickly as it had come, it left. Robin looked at Amon.
"Ok." Amon said, "Try to light something up without your glasses."
Robin turned around. Before she started, Amon quickly pulled something out of the bag.
"Here, when I throw this in the air, you burn it up. Got it?" Amon held the piece of wood out.
Robin nodded. She positioned herself. Amon threw the thing high in the air. It started to fall. Suddenly, it burst into flames. When the flames died away, the wood was gone.
Robin smiled. Then, she looked at Amon.
Amon walked over and sat down. Robin followed him.
"It looked like I don't need these anymore." Robin said. She pulled out her half moon spectacles.
"Keep them just in case." Amon said darkly.
Robin nodded.
"A-Amon?" Robin stammered for some reason.
"Yes?"
"Amon, you have to understand. The baby...." Robin put her had on her stomach. Amon didn't look at her. "Amon, you have to understand that the baby I will have in a matter of months is mine, and yours. Please understand that."
Amon didn't stay anything.
"The baby is a girl. Right now, she is healthy. And I bet she will want to come into this world knowing she has a father. I know I would have liked to." Robin's voice drifted off. She looked down at the ground.
Amon looked at her. He didn't know what to say. Robin did have a point.
"It's ok if you don't say anything. I just want you to know that I will be waiting for you when I go into labor, six months from now."
Robin got up and walked away. She got onto her Vespa. Amon ran after her. She didn't notice. Before Amon could stop her, She drove away.
"Damnit." Amon mumbled.
He got into his car, and drove back to his apartment.
----Back at Robin and Touko's apartment.----
Robin walked throught the door. She heard soft sobbing. She took off her coat and walked into the living room. Touko was sitting on the couch, her face in her hands.
"Touko....what's wrong?" Robin sat down next to Touko. She put her arm around her friend.
"Robin....my dad is violently ill. I need to stay with him, so I can nurse him and all. So, basically, I am moving out." Touko looked up at Robin.
"I....I'm so sorry. If there is anything I can do-"Robin said bleakly.
"No. There isn't....I'll just have to help my dad. Look at the bright side....you can have the apartment all to yourself!" Touko laughed softly.
"Will you come back?"
"I don't know."
"When are you leaving?"
"Tomarrow. Everything of mine is gone. You get all the furniture. My dad owns a house....so everything of mine is at his house already. I have a room and everything."
"I'll miss you."
"I can come visit if you like."
"Ok."
The room mates went to bed. Robin could hardly sleep. She was thinking about Touko, Amon, and the baby.
Yeyy....Another chapter. Umm....I might skip around. Like, I'll put in several chapters that are MUCH longer, and have it summarize the month. Mainly, I will put in main things that happened. Heh Heh Heh!
