Chapter 4: Doctor
Princess Sango
Anna…
I felt myself being led to the kitchen and gave Morty a smile. When I sat down and looked up at him gratefully Morty understood. "I heard the yelling Anna. I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault Morty."
"Yes it is I shouldn't have opened the door!"
"Let's just drop it please?"
He nodded to me as he went to go finish breakfast. Looking at the calendar, it marked four months today, "Four months today…"
"Hai, Anna, four months today for Yoh and you."
Giving a small smile I walked over to him "Let me help."
"Huh?"
"Let me help."
"Hai…"
I helped him and soon we were making breakfast together. When we sat down to eat, we talked about what we were going to do that day. "I think we should have you checked out."
"Can we afford that?"
"Anna you need to be checked out, and I'll help you. I'm working, I'll help pay for it."
"Are you sure you want to?"
"If I didn't want to I wouldn't be offering."
"True, thanks Morty."
I gave him a reassuring smile and got up and placed my dish in the sink. Looking at Morty I smiled, "Did anyone else call?"
"Hai, Tamara did, but she didn't have much to say."
"I understand, and can we go now?"
"Calm yourself Anna, and you can go watch T.V and then we can go. After I finish the dishes."
I nodded to him and made my way towards the television.
Morty…
I smiled at her before going to throw the last plate inside the sink. I was at least a foot taller than when Yoh left. Which meant I would have that growing spurt more, hopefully quick. Looking over at the corner stood Amidamaru! I haven't seen him in so long!
Giving him a smile, he smiled back, "I expect you can see me Morty?"
"Hai."
"Good, then news for Lady Anna and you, we're entering the final rounds tomorrow."
"Then everyone made it I assume?"
"Iie, Tray and Rio lost. Only Yoh and Ren made it."
"Tell them I give them my best of luck. Amidamaru, before you leave, can you tell Yoh his mom appeared?"
"Hai, farewell Morty."
I smiled to him before finishing the last few dishes, dried them, put them away and went to go get Anna. From there I helped her out the door and we headed towards the doctor. I saw some spirits but none were that familiar. Then I saw the doctor's office and beckoned her towards it. She shifted uncomfortably but I reassured her and she smiled at me.
That's not new to me anymore, her smile. Anna smiles a little, when she reassures me but I know she's hurting inside. When we walked inside I led her inside, gave them her name, and paid. We sat there waiting for at least a half an hour before a nurse called her name. We walked over and we went through a typical check up before the doctor actually came in.
When they laid her on the table to be checked I felt uneasy but for Anna's sake I stayed, and I could see her eyes asking me too. Looking at the ground as they exposed Anna's stomach Anna seemed to be quiet and anxious. When I looked at the little screen it was black with a shadow of something that looked like feet. That's when Anna nudged me, "What do you think it will be?"
"I think a girl."
"I'm thinking a boy."
"Huh?"
"A boy, I don't know why, I just think so."
I nodded to her and then the doctor spoke up, "See that Anna? That's the child, right there."
Anna nodded seemingly ready to burst for an answer to the question.
Anna…
I waited patiently, waiting for the answer. Feeling anxious I tried reading the screen but couldn't. I fidgeted some before the doctor opened her mouth, "It's a boy, a healthy one."
I smiled and stuck my tongue out at Morty, "See I told you Morty!"
"I guess you were right Anna, did someone tell you?"
"No, no one did, but Morty, I hope you know that means I'm outnumbered."
"I know you're surrounded by men."
"Hai."
"Is he the father?"
"More like a friend, not the father."
"Oh, okay…what ever you're doing, keep it up, you're free to go!"
"Thank-you."
Then we left and I was happy, well as happy as anyone could be.
