Dabbles of the KanSou Kind

The following chapters are dabbles of the couple Kaname Chidori and Sousuke Sagara from Full Metal Panic. This is my first attempt at dabbles, so I don't know how good they will be.

Each chapter will be based off a song from my collection of music.

Full Metal Panic and its characters belong to its creators. Sanjuro and other Erlking members are of my creation.

Enjoy!

Chapter 2: Pregnant Woes

"Lover's Fight" by Detroit7

"You have GOT to be kidding me!"

Kaname glared daggers at her bed-ridden husband. His right arm was in a sling and had a bandage on his left temple. The medic said that his fractured shoulder blade and broken forearm would heal in about six weeks. Kurtz, Mao and Tessa sat in silence. They knew better than to try and stop Kaname in full fury.

Man she was scary when she was pissed.

It's not my fault! The enemy had a new model Venom! I had to protect the civilians!"

"Sousuke!" She snapped and he shut his mouth. The eight and a half month pregnant woman had neither the patience nor the temperament for his explanation. Sure he was just doing his job, she knew that. She knew he went into battle with that noble attitude that she loved so much. Hell, if it were any other time she would have been more worried and less pissed. She would have cooked him get well dinners and such to save him from the crappy hospital food and stayed by his side as much as she could.

But a week before their baby was due was NOT one of those times!

"You promised, Sousuke!" Her voice grew a little more timid. She was too tired to shout anymore. "You primised you would not go on anymore missions. Not until the baby was a few months old."

"I know…" He looked down. He was ashamed that he broke his promise to her. He could tell she was also worried about him. She was not used to seeing him wounded in combat.

"I'm sorry, Kaname."

"Why?" She was ready for an explanation now that she calmed down a bit.

"The Iranian 'President' was going to wipe Israel of the map, to put it bluntly. We were sent in to intervene before the situation triggered a nuclear war. " He had the same job as usual, though the mercenary company 'Das Kinder Der Erlking' had assimilated the remnants of Mithril into their ranks. The two companies had the same heroic outlook so combining forces was easy.

"I understand that…but why did YOU have to go?"

"Orders, Kaname." He said simply. "The Arbalest Mark 3 was the only machine that could have handled the operation with one hundred percent chance of success."

"Who ordered it? Tessa knows I want you here for the birth, so who…?"

"It was MY fault" Said Sanjuro Bjurman at the door of the room. A rare expression of seriousness married his handsome features. "Forgive me. I did not anticipate Mr. Sagara to come back to use in his present state."

"You did not anticipate injuries in a battle?" Tessa growled, shocked.

Sanjuro put his hand up to stop her, "I will explain my actions at a later date. I can here to give Mr. Sagara a message. This is an order from me, Mr. Sagara: You are to take a five month leave with pay starting now. Is that understood, Sergeant Major?"

Sousuke could not help but smile at his employer, "Yes sir" he said with a salute.

"Yeah yeah" Sanjuro laughed as he left the hospital.

"Well I suppose we should head out as well." Tessa said as she stood, giving Kurtz and Mao the 'let's get out of here' look.

"Uh yeah, get well, man" Kurtz said throwing a thumb up at Sousuke.

"This is the only time I'm going to have you listen to this idiot. See you soon, Sousuke. Bye Kana."

"Get better, Mr. Sagara" Tessa smiled at the couple. "Go easy on him, please" She whispered to Kaname as the three left the married couple alone in the room.

"Sousuke.." She held his free hand with both of hers and squeezed lightly.

Sousuke squeezed back. "I'm sorry, Kaname."

"As long as you are safe, it is fine." They looked into each other's eyes. "And at least you get to be there for the birth"

"Affirmative."

Kaname let out a small laugh at her husband's favorite word.
