Chapter 8
Some Run-down House in Some Place in the Middle Of Nowhere
Leon pressed his back to the concrete wall, holding his gun tightly. This was where Devin was supposedly hiding. They had received an anonymous phone call at headquarters from a suspicious sounding man, who had given them details on where to find Devin.
Jill had been almost hysterical at hearing where she could possibly find her little cousin, and had insisted that they investigate. So here Leon was, with a couple other homicide detectives, ready for anything. After all, Devin was an escaped convict. No one knew if he had anything up his sleeve. And then there was Julie. Had he hurt her? What if he had done something WORSE?
"Move in!" He heard one of his friends exclaim.
Jumping from his position, Leon raced for the door and was the first one in yelling, "Don't move!" But there was nobody to yell at. The place was deserted, except for some dirty dishes. Letting out a deep sigh, Leon lowered his gun. "C'mon, guys. Let's look around."
Petshop…
D glanced helplessly at Pon-chan, who looked upset at seeing D in pain and at having her dinner put off. D was standing with his arms wrapped around his abdomen, and feeling a little dizzy. He had just stood up from picking up some things the animals had knocked over.
T-chan crawled out from under the sofa. "Count?" He placed a gentle hand on D's arm. "Are you ok?"
D smiled as the last bit of his dizziness faded away. "Yes. I am now. Thank you, T-chan." Pon-chan smiled hopefully at D. "Oh, yes. Come now, Pon-chan and I'll get you some food." T-chan grinned. "And you better not steal it this time, T-chan."
D walked into the kitchen. Dreizehn was sitting next to Medusa at a small table. He was feeding her some fruit. "Hello, Count." Dreizehn greeted him happily.
"Hello, Dora-chan." D smiled. Dreizehn shuddered some at his nickname. He hated when people called him that. Medusa smiled because she knew how Dreizehn felt about that name.
Dreizehn patted Medusa's hand gently when all the fruit was gone, and then stood. Medusa pulled him back down and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek, her way of saying thanks.
"You're welcome." Dreizehn said, and then walked over to D. "Count?"
D handed Pon-chan her food and then turned to the Doberman with a smile. "Yes?"
"Jill said that you can feel a baby when the parent is pregnant." Dreizehn said curiously.
"Yes, you can." He took Dreizehn's hand and placed it over his stomach. He waited a moment, and sure enough, the baby kicked.
"Oh!" Dreizehn exclaimed. "So there's actually something in there?"
"Of course." D laughed. His smile faded a little as he thought of Leon. Dreizehn seemed to read his mind.
"Has Leon felt the baby?"
D looked at Dreizehn. With a sad smile, he turned away. "No, Dora-chan. He hasn't. I can't get him to. I believe he does not want to believe that I am going to have his child…maybe he is not ready for the responsibility of a parent…maybe…"
Leon…
"Nothing." Leon let out an experated sigh. "This is getting annoying, Devin!"
"Hey, Orcot!"
Leon turned to his partner. "What?"
"This look familiar?"
Leon grabbed the blue ribbon from his partner. "Yeah. I'm sure it's Julie's."
"So then they WERE here?"
Leon tightened his grip on the ribbon. "Yeah. They were."
PD Headquarters…
"OH MY GOSH! THIS IS JULIE'S! YOU DIDN'T FIND DEVIN? YOU DIDN'T FIND JULIE? OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH! HE MIGHT HAVE HURT HER!"
Leon shook Jill. "CALM DOWN DANG IT!" He sighed. "We're trying, Jill…we're trying."
Jill plopped into her chair. "I know. I just…"
Leon patted her shoulder. "I know. It's ok."
Petshop…
Leon wearily opened the door. Back on the job and he was already tired of it. Not to mention he had lost his key to the shop. Oh well. At least he had his beautiful bishie to return home to.
Leon found D sitting on the couch eating some peanuts. "No chocolate?" Leon laughed setting down his things and giving D a quick hug, happy to see that D wasn't in a bad mood.
"For some reason, I can't seem to eat chocolate anymore…perhaps it is just the pregnancy." D smiled.
"Maybe." Leon was just about to sit down, when a familiar growl came from under the couch. Leon glanced at D, not sitting down.
"Now, now T-chan. Behave." D scolded, and then pulled Leon down next to him.
Leon put an arm around D, and looked him over. He noticed how D had gained some weight. "Are you feeling ok? And I lost my shop key again."
D glanced at him. "Yes. I am." He smiled. "Why don't you feel the baby, sweetheart?" He took Leon's hand. Leon let his hand be placed on D's stomach, and he waited.
When the baby kicked, Leon almost jumped out of his skin. He carefully pulled his hand away. "A baby…I can't believe it…" He stood up and paced a few moments.
D slowly stood up, and stopped Leon's pacing. He gently kissed Leon's cheek. "I love you, dear Leon. You had convinced me that you loved me too. But since I've been pregnant, you've been…distant."
Leon pulled D into his arms. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to be like that. It's just…I'm a little tense with searching for Julie and you being pregnant. It's starting to get to me."
D brushed the hairs of Leon's nape gently with his long fingernails and smiled. "It will all be fine. Everything will turn out fine." He soothed. T-chan frowned and glared at them from under the couch as he watched the couple embrace.
T-chan didn't like this at all. Sure, he remembered that he had made a friend-ship pact with Leon, but that didn't mean he approved of D's pregnancy. He still couldn't understand why Q-chan hadn't said something negative about it.
Jar walked into the room, a book at his face and Pon-chan following him. "Daddy?"
D turned his adoring eyes from Leon to Jar. "Yes?"
"I found this in Pon-chan's room." He held out his hand and never looked up from his book. D took the item in Jar's hand and watched as he left the room, still reading. With a smile, he shook his head and then glanced down at the silver key in his hand.
"Look, Leon. Your key." D smiled. "You see? Things are starting to get better already." Leon smiled softly and took the key. He kissed D's forehead and then put a hand on D's stomach again.
Kia: Awww! I'm a sucker for romantics! Can't you tell? I suppose that's why I never write any sad or gory stories…unless I'm in a bad mood.
Leon: It's still too sappy.
D: flutters eyelashes at Leon Do you really think that, my dear?
Leon: grins You're the only good thing about this story, hun.
Tiy . I hate when people act all lovey-dovey…
Chris: (Tiy's bf) But you always love it when I do-

Kia?
Tiy: Nothing. (to Chris) they don't need to know what loving acts we do!
Kia: …..ew….anyways….REVIEW and maybe I'll update a little sooner….maybe.
