Discalimer: I don't own Chrno Crusade.
I had originally planned to have another chapter of 'A Second Chance' put up, before I even wrote this chapter, but this is so much easier to write because it has almost no plot. Only having a baby and getting Az and Joshua together (and even that is on the side). Whereas the other fic, I have a plot, so I need to work harder on that. But it should be coming out soon! (Hopefully...)

Rosette is pregnant, making her more moody (and murderous) than ever. Whats a poor Chrno to do?
Bam.
Chrno stood petrified against the wall, a bullet embedded in the wall a foot away from his head. Rosette stood about three feet away from him, hand still raised with the gun in it.
"You think I'm fat?!" She screamed.
"No! That's not what I meant." Chrno pleaded, holding his hands in front of him defensibly, as if that was going to stop a bullet.
"Then why did you say that we should go buy bigger clothes?" Rosette asked her voice still heavy with anger.
"Your pregnant, aren't you going to get bigger?" Chrno said carefully.
Bam.
Wrong thing to say. This time the bullet was right beneath his ear, Chrno sighed inwardly with relief. Rosette would never hurt him, but she could be as scary as hell. After all she wasn't the Order's best shooter for nothing. He screwed his eyes shut, expecting another bullet on the other side of head. But he was greeted by silence and opened his eyes fast enough to see Rosette's gun hurling towards him. He yelped as it caught him in the side of his head. Rosette satisfied with her work stomped out the door.
"You aren't getting a drive to work today!" She screamed and slammed the door behind her.
"Mou, Rosette." Chrno sighed before going after his wife.
By the time Chrno made it out to the street he could already see their car pulling out.
"Rosette!" He shouted, trying to get her attention.
The blond ignored him and picked up speed. Chrno started running to keep with her.
"Rosette, don't be unreasonable." Chrno called to her, the walk to the Order was a long way, he didn't mind, he could fly there after all... Mentally he slapped himself, that wouldn't solve anything between them; he had to get her to calm down.
"Please Rosette! Pull over!" He tried again.
Rosette still ignored him. Self-consciously Chrno looked around him, people were starting to stare.
"You're making a scene!" Chrno shouted to her.
Rosette finally turned her head and acknowledged him.
"What are you talking about?" She exclaimed, "You're the one making the scene.
Chrno winced inwardly, she was right. Maybe it was time to grovel now...
"You're right. I'm sorry." Chrno apologized. "Now can you please pull over?"
Rosette quickly looked at her husband and then turned her gaze back to the road. If she stilled out on the road longer, then she could make him beg. But that was too cruel and he was looking really cute, with the demon version of the puppy face on. Rosette felt her anger beginning to subside.
"Fine." She muttered before pulling over to the side.
Chrno caught up to her and put his hands on his knees panting.
"You forgot this." He said pulling her gun out of his pocket, he handed it to her barrel.
"Police!" Someone screamed in the background, "Help! He has a gun!" (1)
The scream started a chain reaction which had people running away from where Chrno and Rosette were, leading to more screams, attracting the attention of a near by police vehicle. A policeman raced out of the car and ran towards Chrno with his own gun pointed at him.
"Drop the gun slowly and put your hands in the air." He shouted.
Chrno sweat dropped inwardly and waved his hands around in front of his face. "This is a big misunderstanding..." He started.
Unfortunately, the policeman took this as a sign of aggression.
"Put the gun down, or I fire!" He shouted.
"Baka!" Rosette said, as she grabbed the gun. "They think that you're going to shoot at them." She turned to the police officer. "Ahh, this is a big misunderstanding, the gun is mine, and he was just returning it to me."
The policeman smirked; he had found two gangsters, who else would be dealing with guns so openly? "Both of you put your hands in the air drop the gun!"
Rosette groaned, "What don't you get? This is my gun. I'm part of the Magdelena Order I'm allowed to carry this."
"Do you think that I believe that?" The policeman snapped, "Now drop the gun and get out of the car!"
Chrno bristled; no one talked to Rosette like that.
"Why do you insist on making this difficult?" He asked, "She's telling the truth. Go down to the Magdelena Order and see, she's Rosette Christopher!"
"Everyone knows about Rosette Christopher, she's one of the Order's best shooters. You could just be pretending." The policeman said. "And shouldn't it be Sister Rosette Christopher?"
"She's married." Growled Chrno, this guy was really starting to get on his nerves.
"Sister's can't marry." The policeman said arrogantly.
Rosette started at the guy. How stupid was he? She wasn't a sister anymore. "Look I know if I am married or not. How stupid are you? Now just leave us alone." Rosette shouted.
A car pulled up alongside the police car, another car stopped in front of Chrno and Rosette. More police got out of the car and got into protective position's behind their doors, with their guns drawn. The guy had obviously called for backup before coming over to them.
"Put the guns down and step out of the car with your hands on your head." One of them said.
Rosette glared at Chrno as they did what they were told to.
"This is your fault you know." She said.
Chrno sighed; everything seemed against him today, his wife, people on the street, the police...
"Get in the car." The original policeman said, gesturing with his gun to the car near him.
"Why?" Chrno asked.
"Where taking you down to the station." He smirked.
Rosette turned her glare to the incompetent police man. She took her hands off his head and crossed them in front of her. Chrno seeing this dropped his hands too.
"No." She said firmly.
"No?" The policeman said.
"We didn't even do anything wrong, so why should we go with you? I still have to get to work."
He glared at her.
"Hey Marty," Another policeman called, addressing the original one, "What are we taking them down for, other than illegal possession of a gun?"
"It's legal!" Shouted Rosette, but her protests were unheard as Marty answered back.
"They're mobsters. Why else would they have a gun?" Marty snapped.
Rosette practically fumed at this. "Who are you calling mobsters? Were the ones keeping things, way more dangerous than mobsters off your back!"
"Like what?" Marty sneered, this little whelp insisted on protesting at everything.
"Demons idiot!"
"They're exorcists?" Asked another policeman, "Why the hell do you think that they're mobsters?"
"Finally someone on our side!" Rosette exclaimed.
"They had a gun..." Marty trailed off, the cocky policeman was gone and in its place was an unsure man.
"For shooting demons!" Rosette shouted.
Chrno ignored her shout. "If you looked in the barrel you would see nothing but scareds."
"Hey but what if they're lying?" Another policeman called as someone stepped forward to check the gun. "They gun could be rigged."
Chrno groaned, how thick were these guy? "The gun isn't rigged."
"How do we know that we can trust you? You guys aren't even in uniform; everyone knows that exorcists are nuns and ministers."
Rosette pulled at her hair in frustration. This was getting old. Ignoring the threats and protests of he officers behind her she stalked over to the car, if any of them dared to fire on her she knew that Chrno would protect her. She opened the door and pulled out the headset of a phone that was in the back. Quickly she dialed the number to the Order and was rewarded when she heard Sister Kate's voice on the other end.
"Hello?" Sister Kate said.
"Sister Kate, were in a little trouble." Rosette began, maybe Sister Kate wasn't the best person to be telling this to, but she had been a lot nicer to her since Aion...
"A demon, do you need backup?" Sister Kate asked quickly.
"No. Umm. You see... To make a long story short some police saw my gun and now they think that Chrno and I are mobsters. Can you send someone down here to tell them that were not?"
A sigh followed by a groan of frustration could be heard on the other end of the line. "I'll send someone down. Where are you?"
Rosette quickly gave her the street where they were at and then hung up. Walking out she stood beside Chrno who was frowning. Marty had Rosette's gun and had emptied all the scareds out of it. Rosette grit her teeth at the careless way that he was holding her gun. Never mind the fact that she did it all the time. It was her gun and he wasn't treating it properly.
She had a bone to pick with this guy. Not only was he mistreating her gun, he had also made such a big fuss out of this mobster thing. She was the one shooting down demons, so that he could sleep safe at night. And here he was making her late for work and causing her a lot of frustration.
"Look someone from the Order is coming down now, so if you can keep your trap shut until then, then maybe we can all have some peace and quiet." Rosette snapped.
Chrno looked at her, "Do you know who is coming?"
"Not a clue." Rosette said.
Both were oblivious to the shocked stare of Marty. The gears in his head were turning for once. What if these people were from the Order? Then he was in for a lot of trouble. But no, they couldn't be, they were so unOrderly like. They had to be mobsters and the people coming down had to be mobsters too, about to attack them to get their friends out...
His thoughts died away as another car pulled up.
Azamaria, dressed in full uniform, exited the car, followed by Joshua a second later.
"Mou, Rosette, Chrno what happened?" Az asked.
Joshua, who was beside her, started to snicker, it wasn't everyday that he got to see his nee-san and demon friend surrounded by police.
Chrno sighed. "Just tell them that we are from the Order. Well tell you later."
As Az conferment that Rosette and Chrno were from the Order, Rosette stormed up to Marty. She wretched her gun away from his hand and snatched the scareds off the ground. She put them back in her gun and then pressed it against Marty's chest.
"What did I tell you smart mouth?" She said.
Marty's eyes were wide and he was obviously beginning to panic. But before she could say or do anything else Chrno called her, telling her it was time to go.
"I'm going to be talking to your superior." Rosette told him and she gave him one last glare and walked over to the car.
Azamaria looked at the still full cup of tea in front of her, she really should be trying to make conversation with Joshua, who had invited her to tea after the police incident, but her mind was preoccupied with the thought of Rosette pregnant. They had only known for about a week, but she was making more trouble then she did in a month. She just couldn't get how the blonde's new condition doubled the amount of trouble that she caused.
Joshua on the other hand was feeling sorry for his brother-in-law. Chrno had told him about suggesting getting Rosette new clothes. His nee-san did tend to eat a lot and now she was probably eating more than she used to. So between the baby and the amount of food she consumed, she was going to need bigger clothes. He felt another surge of pity for the demon. Demon or human, no one wanted to deal with an upset Rosette.
Between her preoccupied thoughts and Joshua's sympathy for Chrno, their little tea date went no where.
-End Ch.2-
(1) Okay so that was pretty stupid, but I couldn't think of anything else!
I intended to spend a lot more time on this chapter and to have lots of little various scenes, but alas, life does not go my way. Once again it wall came out at once, so it might seemed rushed, again. Ahhh! So frustrated at myself, need to spend more time with fics...
Since I got a question on whether the baby would be a girl or a boy, I have decided to hold a vote. You readers get to decide whether the baby is a girl, boy or twins!! (Can you imagine the hell twins would cause?) Oh and any ideas of torture that Chrno can go through? (I already have a couple ready, but more is always welcome!)
