A/N: One person mentioned, in a review a while back, something about Allen must have had her baby by now...To quote: "...1 month + 7 month = inst there supposed to be a baby! by that time allen already has the kid!" Okay...I do not want to be rude, but the average pregnancy lasts nine months. AVERAGE. Pregnancies differ from mother to mother. Thank you for your input, though.

Chapter Fourteen: She??

The imposing outline of the Dark Order was heavily shadowed with the dawn half-light in spite of the eastern sky's promise of a bright, cloudless day. No birds called out amicably to each other from the trees in the early morning, at least not yet.

Kanda ignored all the scenery and just stared at the Dark Order with a feeling of great foreboding. He didn't want to return. He didn't want to have to face his empty room, or the prospect of being in that room with memories all around him.

Not that his feelings about the whole situation mattered, Kanda thought grimly. His duty came first, above all else. Even though that was somewhat contradictory because as far as Kanda was concerned, his duty was to rid the world of as many Akuma as he could. Any, and almost every, exorcist's duty was to rid the world of as many Akuma as he or she could (with the exception of Hevlaska, as she had no Akuma-killing abilities).

And, try as he might, the Japanese man could not figure why he would be taken away from the front-lines, back to the Order. What could be so important that those at Central would risk the lives of the exorcists?

What could be so important to take a soldier away from the main battle-front, Kanda corrected himself. Those at Central cared little for exorcists, and even less for the finders. But something must definitely be up to permit a soldier to be taken away from the place where he could eliminate enemy ranks.

"Komui, sir. Kanda, Noise Marie, and Lenalee have returned. They are making their way up here as we speak."

"Ahh, thank you, Section Chief Reever."

"Yes, sir, you are welcome."

"Does she know?"

"No, not yet, sir. Would you like me to tell her?"

"No. I imagine that she is still asleep right now. She exhausted herself yesterday by trying to walk."

"It really is sapping all of her energy, Komui?"

"Yes, unfortunately. In spite of everything we try...."

"I-It's okay, Komui, sir. I am sure we will find something before-"

"-Before it is too late for anyone to do anything."

"Y-Yeah."

The Dark Order was and wasn't a home to Kanda. Truly, he hadn't lived anywhere else since he was a child, and so, in that sense, it was home, but it never felt like what he suspected that home should feel like.

Now, as he approached Komui's office, he realized that for a while, just a short time, it had felt like he hoped a home would feel. Now, though, that sense of home was gone, all that remained was a painful, empty space. He did his best to ignore it, though, and so far it worked.

Lenalee had insisted upon seeing her brother while Kanda and Marie made their report, in spite of every objection that others had given on their way to Komui's office. Her reasoning was that she knew that she was injured, at least, she had been, but she wanted to see her brother and didn't care who said what. And, after a dark look from the Chinese girl, she continued on her way, walking between Kanda and Marie.

No one could successfully argue with Lenalee, not that that had anything to do with the fact that she was Komui's younger, and only, sister (Komui, the semi-insane sister-complex, creator of malfunctioning, just-as-insane-as-their-owner robots, mad scientist), and had everything to do with her stern (likely every bit as insane as her brother) behavior, when the situation called for it.

So the three of them made it to Komui's office together, walking in silence.

"He's coming?!"

"Yes, he is here. Should be arriving at Komui's office soon, in fact."

"Take me there!"

"W-Wait! You shouldn't get overly excited! You will exhaust yourself! And you just woke up!"

"Please! I haven't seen him in so long, and...and he hasn't seen me! I...I....Please..."

"What did I tell you? Eat something first, at least."

"....I'm not hungry."

"Ha! As if you ever are anymore. You need not be so stubborn."

"But I have been waiting for him to return for so long..."

"It only seems so long because you refuse to sleep. You refuse to eat."

"Because I need to see him!"

"Yes, and that will make it so much better."

"....Please, Matron?"

"Oh, fine!"

Komui was waiting quietly as the three of them filed into his office, which looked somewhat organized for once.

"Welcome home, you three." Komui said, smiling at them.

"It's good to be back, brother." Lenalee said, as the tradition between the two called for. Neither Marie nor Kanda said anything as they sat down on the black couch.

After a moment of silence, Komui sighed a little.

"Well, you need not report anything, since I know a great deal more about what is going on in South Africa than you, since I have been in contact with General Nyne on multiple occasions since you left her. I would just like to hear of how your legs are, Lenalee, and your chest and arm, Marie." Komui said honestly.

"My legs are fine, brother. I can walk, as you just saw, without a problem," Lenalee replied. Marie nodded in agreement and said, "My arm and chest are healing well enough."

"That is good to hear. However, I am sure that it would be preferable for you to check in with the Head Nurse at the medical wing." Komui said, in a soft tone that allowed no refusal or argument. Both Marie and Lenalee knew it was a good idea in any case, so they left without a word, leaving Kanda on the couch, staring at the papers before him with narrowed eyes.

Komui watched Kanda silently for a few moments, thinking to himself.

"Kanda. It is good to have you back." Komui said in an almost toneless voice. Kanda snapped his head up to look at Komui sharply.

"It is a waste of time for me to be here, Komui, and you know it!"

Kanda seemed about to continue, but a soft, weak voice interrupted him.

"I hope, given a little time, that you will find that statement to be false."

The Japanese man spared no time in whipping around to face the owner of that voice.

There was a pale, sickly, exhausted-looking Allen, half of her body covered in a soft blanket, sitting in a metal wheelchair at the doorway of Komui's office. Kanda immediately stood up, staring at her in shock. His gaze was immediately drawn to the bulge of her stomach, made more apparent by her thin frame.

"Moyashi-"

Kanda's breath caught in his throat, taking away his ability to speak. Allen looked sorrowful and happy at the same time as she lifted her hand towards Kanda, beckoning him forward. Kanda obliged without thought, stepping around the couch quickly and taking Allen's hand in both of his. The lack of warmth in those small hands was worrisome, but something that Kanda could not worry about just yet. After seven months...The longest seven months of his life, here she was before him.

"Allen..." Kanda whispered, falling down on one knee, staring intently into Allen's grey eyes. Allen smiled and directed Kanda's hand to her stomach.

"She's okay, too, Kanda. And according to Matron, she should be arriving in less than a month." Allen said quietly, stroking her thumb over the back of Kanda's hand.

"She...?" Kanda questioned, flicking his gaze up to Allen's happy expression.

Woo!! There is another chapter for you.

I finished this on March 17th, so I must say Happy St. Patrick's Day to you! I know that some of you guys aren't from countries that know what St. Patrick's Day is...((I might be wrong...~shrugs~))...but nevertheless, I wish it to you.

This chapter was a little bit longer than the last and-!!

Allen is back! Next chapter, we get to hear what happened to her!

Review, please!

Lots of love,
