Disclaimer: I don't own Chrno Crusade
I know that I should be working on my other fic, but this idea popped into my head and it was too good to let go and was practically begging to be written. But this is going to be more of a side focus, 'A Second Chance' being the main one. Okay, instead of Chrno and Rosette disappearing and Joshua thinking that he's a twelve-year-old, Chrno got his horns back (so he's in adult form) and Joshua is in his right mind. Chrno and Rosette got married and she is currently twenty, Chrno is who knows how old. Joshua is nineteen and Az is seventeen. Rosette is obviously not a sister anymore (she's married), but she still helps out, and so does Chrno.
Rosette is pregnant, making her more moody (and murderous) than ever. Whats a poor Chrno to do?
Rosette bowled over in agony and retched into the toilet once again. Shaking, she clutched the edges of the seat with a death grip.
"Rosette... Are you ok?" Chrno asked, he was worried; his wife of six months had just recently began throwing up almost every morning.
"Water." She croaked.
He hurried off to get it, returning in a minute with a glass full of water. He set down the glass on the floor beside her and knelt behind her, gathering her golden locks behind her head, where they wouldn't fall in front of her face. Rosette moaned and fell backwards into him. He grabbed a near by tissue and began the task of cleaning up her face.
"Maybe you should go to the doctor." He suggested.
"No, no. I don't need a doctor." Rosette protested, "I probably have that flu thats going around."
Chrno sighed; she could be so thick-headed sometimes. He aimed for the trash can and watched the tissue sailed through the air to land into it.
"See you sure you don't need to see a doctor?" He asked.
"Yeah, just let me sleep a day or two and I'll be fine." Rosette said. "Just tell Az to tell the Order that I'm sick."
"If you're sure." Chrno said, and he helped her up and watched her was she walked out the door.
Azamaria Hendrick chewed her bottom lip thoughtfully. Chrno had just called and said that Rosette wouldn't be coming in today, because she was sick. Apparently, she had been throwing up for the past few days, and she couldn't help but wonder...
"Something wrong Az?" Joshua asked. He had been hanging around at the Order, more often over the past few weeks. And with Chrno and Rosette being so caught up in each other lately she was grateful for the company.
"Chrno just called and said that Rosette was sick. I was just worried about her." Az answered.
"Well we can drop by their place later today, if that'll make you feel better." Joshua said.
Az gave him a cheery smile, "Thanks Joshua."
Joshua gave her a smile in return.
Later that day found Azamaria and Joshua outside of Chrno and Rosette's doorstep. They knocked on the door and were greeted by the site of a worn- out Chrno.
"Hi guys." He said, ushering the two in.
"You look worn out." Joshua said, "Has nee-san been ordering you around."
Chrno nodded, "She wants orange juice one moment, then changes her mind and says that she wants green tea. She even wanted a tub of chocolate mouse ice cream, I told her no at that and she threw a book at me." Chrno rubbed the bump on the back of his head, where it had hit him.
Joshua patted his arm in sympathy. "You take a break, and we'll go see how nee-san is doing."
"Thanks." Chrno murmured before wandering off to a near by couch.
Az and Joshua walked into Rosette's room.
"Rosette." Az called softly. "Where are you?"
"Here." Rosette said as she emerged from beneath a mound of blankets. "Why are you guys here?"
"To check up on you nee-san." Joshua said, "You seemed to be giving Chrno a hard time.
"Hmph." Rosette said in reply, "He wouldn't get me the ice cream."
"Why would you be wanting ice cream if you're sick?" Joshua asked.
"I feel a lot better now." Rosette said.
"Ano, Joshua could you go check up on Chrno? I want to speak to Rosette." Azamaria asked.
"Sure." Joshua replied as he walked out of the room, giving her one last smile.
Rosette seeing this gave a sly grin. "Something going on between you two that I should know about?" She asked.
Az blushed a bright red, "No nothing."
"You sure?"
"Yes!"
"Calm down, I was only teasing you." Rosette said.
"Rosette, I wanted to ask you something." Az began.
"Yeah?"
"How long have to been throwing up every morning?" She asked.
"I don't know, about one week. Why?"
"Are you late?" Az asked, ignoring Rosette's inquiry.
"Late? For what?"
"For you know..."
"No I don't"
"When did you last have your period?" Az asked.
Rosette seemed a bit shocked at this and then thought about it, "It was supposed to have started a couple days ago...." She trailed off. "Why?" She asked suspiciously.
"Rosette put the facts together, you're late and you've been throwing up every morning..." It was Az's turn to trail off.
"Oh my god!" Rosette exclaimed as she jumped out of bed. "I need to see a doctor!"
Az sighed as she let herself be dragged out of the room, past Chrno and Joshua and out the door.
"Where are you going?" Joshua called after them.
"To see a doctor." Rosette called back.
Az could faintly hear Chrno mutter, "Oh now she wants to see a doctor."
Rosette sat the edge of the cot and played with the hem of her blouse as she waited for the doctor to come back with the results.
"Nervous?" Az asked.
"Yeah." Rosette replied.
Azamaria opened her mouth to say something else, but was cut off by the doctor reentering the room. He nodded his head in confirmation.
"Ms." He said. "You're pregnant."
Rosette jumped up from the bed and gave Az a bone crushing hug.
"I'm gonna have a baby! I'm gonna have a baby!" She chanted over and over as she walked out the room.
The doctor turned to Az. "Your friend is about four weeks along and will be experiencing sudden mood swings over the next eight months. You might want to warn the father."
Az nodded and thanked him, before exiting the same way her friend had gone, but in a much calmer mood. She was greeted by a hyper Rosette in the car.
"Hey, hey Az? How should I tell Chrno? He's going to be so happy!" Rosette exclaimed as she started driving.
"I don't know, tell him when you get back I guess, so Joshua will find out too."
"Hmmm." Rosette nodded along to herself, "That seems like a good idea."
Az's grip on her seat tightened when Rosette swerved to avoid crashing in a near by building.
"Gezz, what are these people thinking?" Rosette said, "Putting buildings so close to the rode. It's dangerous."
"Actually Rosette, I think that it's just your driving."
"Are you saying that I'm a bad driver?" Rosette asked, her voice low with anger.
"No! Of course not. Watch for the pole!" Az screamed as they barely avoided a light pole. "Think about telling Chrno."
"Oh yeah!" Rosette said, immediately happy again.
For the next ten minutes Az, feared for her life as Rosette barely managed to avoid both stationary and moving objects ahead of her. She sent God a quick prayer of thanks as they came to a complete stop outside of the apartment complex that Chrno and Rosette lived in. Rosette leapt out of the car and ran up a flight of stairs and bounded in her apartment.
"Chrno!" She sang and jumped on her husband, causing both of them to fall back into that couch that he had just stood up from.
"Guess what." She said excitedly.
"What." Chrno asked, "You're not sick?"
"Nope! I'm pregnant!" Rosette shouted.
A shocked Chrno started at his wife. Rosette, who was obviously surprised at this lack of emotion, took his silence as disapproval and began to bawl.
"You don't want a baby?" She wailed.
"No! I'm happy! I really am!" Chrno protested and he leaned up and gave his wife a firm kiss. "I'm glad that were going to have a baby."
Rosette's expression turned happy again and she jumped off the couch and wandered into their room. "Good because were going to have to move."
"Why?" Chrno asked.
"This place is too small!" Rosette scolded, "We can't raise a kid here."
Az and Joshua, who had been watching the whole thing, decided it was time to leave.
"Guess we better get going." Joshua said, "Congratulations."
"Good idea." Az said, "Oh and Chrno she's about four weeks along and the doctor said that she would be experiencing sudden mood swings."
Chrno turned back to a smiling Rosette who had just appeared again. She already experienced sudden mood swings; he didn't want to know what being pregnant would do to her.
Little did Chrno know as he walked over to his wife, that the past few weeks, would only be a start to his nine months of hell.
