Mini-Komui: LadyBookman does not own D. Gray-man characters. She thanks each and every one of her reviewers! They made her as sparkly as Jeryy when Allen hasn't eaten in three days. :)) Enjoy the new chapter.
It had been nearly two weeks since the bodies of all of the deceased had been burned and the ashes scattered over the grounds. Everyone's life was going back to their usual routine.
"Good morning, Komui!" the ever eccentric Jeryy greeted the director one morning. Komui smiled brightly at his friend.
"Good morning Jeryy. I'll have my usual." He said.
"Sure thing sweetheart." The sparkles surrounding the man would have been disturbing to anyone if they weren't used to it. Thankfully, Komui was used to it.
"Where's the little wifey? She's usually in here by now." Jeryy asked, making small talk with Komui. He leaned out of the window and looked back and forth for Sida. The woman had almost as big of an appetite as Allen.
"She's still in bed. She woke up sick this morning." Komui answered. "Would you fix her something?"
"Alrighty, I'll fix some of my special broth. It'll cure anything." With that, Jeryy set off to cook. It took little to no time for him to return to the window, tray in hand.
"Tell her I said to feel better. I already miss cooking for her." He said.
"Okay. Thank you Jeryy." Komui waved over his shoulder and walked back to the rooms with the food. He reached the door to their room and let himself in slowly and quietly, afraid that he might wake his wife. He didn't need to worry. She was sitting up, reading one of her many books. He smiled when her eyes caught his. She replaced the book on her side table as he sat next to her.
"How are you feeling?" he asked.
"Better. I should be fine in a couple of hours. This same thing happened yesterday." She said, sipping the broth Jeryy sent her.
"Please go to the infirmary today. I want to make sure you're really okay." Komui suggested. Sida opened her mouth to protest but Komui put his finger to her lips, stopping her. "I'll be checking to see if you went this afternoon."
They ate the rest of their meal while talking about plans for the rest of the day. After getting Sida to promise that she'd go to the head nurse for an examination, Komui went to his office.
Sida got ready an hour later after taking another nap. She felt better and was tempted to not keep her promise. But thinking better of it, she made her way to the infirmary. But not without taking as many detours as she could possibly think of. She hated doctors and anything that had to do with medicine. Finally, she couldn't put it off any longer and entered through the double doors.
Nearly an hour later, Sida walked out of the infirmary. She had to wait for another couple of hours for the results of the blood tests the nurse had taken. She still felt a little shaky from fainting when she saw the blood. What she needed was a good workout.
She made her way to the training grounds. It was empty. The silence was almost overwhelming for her. Most of the time, the Order had at least one exorcist walking the halls or in the training grounds but recently it had been almost too quiet. Everyone was on their assignments. Even the majority of the finders were out on their own assignments. Sida suddenly felt drained of energy. She leaned against a nearby tree and sank down to the ground. Slowly, she fell into another sleep.
Sida ran her fingers over the bark of the tree. It felt like velvet against her fingers it was so smooth. The bright pink flowers drifted down from above her in the calming breeze. She pushed her hair behind her ears when she looked down the pathway through the grove of cherry blossoms. Komui sat against one of the tree trunks reading a book. He was completely unaware that she was watching him as he flipped the page. He looked exactly as he had nine years ago. His hair was long, though not quite as long as Sida's and his face was not adorned as it usually was by glasses. Sida couldn't help but notice that he looked very handsome in his traditional Chinese attire.
"Brother, look!" A small voice echoed, sounding excited. Komui looked up with a small smile on his face as Lenalee ran towards him with a bunch of flowers tied into a crown bobbing up and down against her pigtails and her hand clasped tightly around an equally as young Kanda. He shut his book and caught his sister before she tripped into his lap, letting go of the other boy's hand.
His deep laugh rang in harmony with her soprano giggle as he tickled her. The sound was almost enough to bring tears to Sida's eyes.
"Momma!" Kanda shouted happily surprised. He ran the entire pathway into Sida's arms. Komui looked up and caught her eye. He smiled widely and held his hand out to her wordlessly. Sida put Kanda back onto the ground and walked the rest of the way down the path as well as she could with the toddler hanging on to her floor-length coat. Komui stood up and met her halfway, the young Lenalee clutching to his pant leg the entire way. He took Sida's hand into his own and brushed a few strands of hair out of her face before softly brushing her lips with his own.
Sida took a deep breath as she woke up. Her surroundings disappointed her. She was no longer in the grove of beautiful trees with her family but in the training grounds. Although they were nearly as beautiful as her dream, it still wasn't the same.
Sida jumped to her feet when she heard the clock in the center of Headquarters chime, signaling that it was five o'clock. She had spent her entire day avoiding the infirmary, in the infirmary and sleeping. Now she had to go back to the dreaded white halls and hear the reason why she had been sick. She sighed and took as many detours as she could before she reached the double doors yet again. She entered them with the same mentality as someone walking to their execution.
Komui was going to want to know what was wrong with her. How was she going to tell him? Sida walked into the darkened hallway and started to mindlessly make her way to her husband's office. The shock that covered her face was evident as she was approached by the workers in the department.
Finally after what seemed like miles and miles of stone floors and stairs, she reached Komui. He reached over and pulled her into his arms.
"So what did the nurse say?" he asked. Everyone that had followed her into the room leaned in to hear what it was. Now that there was no one in Headquarters, any new bit of information was gladly welcomed, even if it was just finding out why someone was sick.
"WILL YOU LEAVE?" Sida shouted at the people surrounding her and Komui. At once they all scattered into their respective corners. She heaved a frustrated sigh and dragged Komui into the next room, shutting the door behind her.
"What's wrong?" Komui asked when he saw her lean back against the door. A wide smile spread over her face and she moved towards his desk. Surprisingly, there was an empty spot on the edge of it large enough so that she could sit down comfortably in it. She held her hand out to him, biting the edge of her lip excitedly. He took it as she pulled him over to her.
"Absolutely nothing." She smirked. A thought formed in the back of Komui's mind at the smile but he shook it off as impossible. Instead, he placed his hands on her hips when hers rested against his chest. She started fidgeting in her spot, her index finger running circles over his chest and her knees tightening against his hips. The hand that had been tracing circles made its way up to the nape of his neck and played with the hair there. He shivered slightly as Sida pulled his lips to hers in a swift movement. He felt her elation in the kiss and nearly laughed when her lips smiled against his. She was up to something. He broke the kiss with a sharp gasp.
"You know, we can sneak out the back way to our bedroom?" he asked teasingly as she moved a couple inches forward. Before she could answer, he claimed her lips again. She was the one to break it this time.
"You remember when we agreed that we wanted a family?" she asked breathlessly as he kissed her neck.
"Yes." His hot breath against her skin sent shivers down her spine.
"And you remember how we thought we'd never be able to have kids?" she took his silence as a 'yes'. That had always been a delicate subject for them both.
"Well," Sida kissed Komui's ear. "I'm pregnant."
