Just want to say thank you to Kittygirl86 who has been very supportive towards us Now on with the show…I mean story.
I was awoken unceremoniously by a shrill scream.
I wrenched my eyes open, regretting it as blinding light made them sore. Rubbing them I sat up in bed, trying to locate the source of the noise. It was coming from a cot in the corner of the room.
I looked to my left and saw the form of Andropov, sleeping peacefully. So not to bother him I slid out of bed and crept over to the corner. Peeping over the cot I saw two round, crystal blue eyes staring up at me.
The minute they caught sight of me the shill cry the baby was emitting stopped and instead happy gurgling took its place.
The baby was around a year old, but already she had bright orange hair sprouting out in all directions. The hair reminded me of Andropov's hair. I smiled down at her. She had a round face, with little dimples when she smiled. She flashed a smile at me showing two white teeth poking out of her gums. She was wearing a baby grow, light blue in colour. I noticed the whole cot had a blue theme.
Curiosity got the better of me and I leant down, put my arms around the Baby and picked her up. She squealed in delight and I quickly darted out of the rooms, so not to wake up the sleeping form on the bed. I found myself in the hall which I knew lead to the kitchen. So stepping cautiously down the hall with the little girl in my arms I made my way to the kitchen.
The kitchen was just how I remembered it from my time before with Andropov. Little cupboards holding all the utensils, the cooker, the fridge, the little Table in the corner with a few chairs. There were also some new items. A high chair, a play pen and a bouncer which I noticed looked like it was played with often.
Smiling I placed the little girl in the high chair. "Hello, are you hungry? Would you like some food?" At the sound of food the little girl cheered and started waving her arms around.
"Fu-Fu, Fu-Fu. Misty wants Fu-Fu Mummy."
"So your name is Misty"
"Of course it is Kluke, don't you remember your own daughters name?" A voice came from behind me, then two arms snaked round my waist and pulled me closer to themselves. I felt lips brush the side of my neck. "Well, I'm waiting for your answer"
I couldn't concentrate on anything; all I could think of was the lips trailing kisses down my neck. My heart was pounding, I couldn't breathe, and I felt so, so tired.
"KLUKE, Kluke wake up come on" two hands shook my shoulders. Without opening my eyes I could tell I was on the floor. My back was resting against the cool surface. I felt a sharp pain in my head. Finally I opened my eyes, at first all I could see were starts. Then slowly images blurred into vision. Andropov was looking down at me, worry written across his face. I could also see little Misty peering down from her perch in the high seat.
"I'm…fine." I managed to speak a few words but not before I felt sick and the pain in my head had got worse. "What, what happened?"
"Kluke thank god I though you were, no I can't think about it. You fainted and smacked your head on the table. I'm so sorry; it was my fault for creeping up on you." Andropov bowed his head. "You were standing there, and then the next minute you had fallen, slipped out of my arms and hit the table, the force that you hit it was… the sound…" Andropov now had tears flowing down his face. I managed to bring my hand to his face and wipe them away.
"It was not your fault, I don't know what happened but I know it wasn't you. I just remembered feeling tired then the next thing I knew I was on the floor." I blurted it out so to get it over with. The pain in my head was making me feel so sick, but I knew I had to reassure Andropov.
"Kluke..." Andropov took my hand in his. "I" Andropov was about to say something when he was cut off by a cry.
"Mummy, Mummy Misty wants Mummy" Andropov looked at Misty then at Kluke.
"I can't leave you lying on the floor, let's get you back to bed then I will sort out Misty." Andropov stood up and then bent down to help me up.
"Andropov no, I will sort myself out you tend to… Misty" I knew her name but it was new to me and I had to think about it through the headache I had.
"Misty can wait I need to get you resting" and without waiting for a reply Andropov had me in his arms bridal style, walking me towards the bedroom. He laid me on the bed, covered me up then kissed my forehead. "I'll be back in a minute." As Andropov walked out I looked around the room and spotted something hanging above the cot that I hadn't seen before.
It was a little mobile. I couldn't see what was on it from here, so with much effort I managed to sit up and swing my legs round and on to the floor. I then used all my strength to stand up. For a few seconds I felt unbalanced but then I was walking across the room. When I reached the cot I looked up and noticed the Mobile was hand made. On it were little charms hanging from each string.
My heart gave a little thud as I realized each charm represented all our friends. There was a little crystal for Andropov, Feather for me, a Horn for Jiro, a Tooth for Maro, a claw for Shu, a ribbon for Buuke, an Arrow for Schneider and two Swords each for Zola and Logi. I felt my tears come to my eyes and fall down my face. I stood there looking at each little charm. It was one of the best things I had ever seen.
"Kluke! You shouldn't be out of bed" I turned round to find I was face to face with Andropov with Misty in his arms. Misty was trying to grab a bit of Andropov's hair that was sticking her way. She was so cute, with little hands and feet, a dazzling smile and her tuft of bright orange spiky hair. Ignoring what Andropov said I reached forward and plucked Misty out of his arms. She looked up at me puzzled at first and then realizing who I was she let out another squeal followed by happy gurgling.
I bounced Misty up and down in my arms while she let out a stream of giggles.
"Kluke, you can't ignore me forever. You had a serious whack to the head, you should be resting." Andropov didn't sound angry, more concerned. He took Misty back of me and went out the room. I was annoyed, where was he going? I was about to follow when Andropov was back, without Misty.
"Where is she?" I demanded it may have been a bit too rough as Andropov took a step back at my tone.
"I just put her in her play room while I tend to you." Andropov was now approaching me, reaching out his arms he pulled me closer into an embrace.
"Oh" I said into his shirt. Then I was crying, the pain in my head was agony. Andropov held me tighter, reassuring me with his touch. My knees gave way and we sank to the floor.
"Kluke, you're not yourself today. You're acting different. And you didn't even know Misty's name." Andropov summed it all up while rocking me back and forth. Even though I felt like a child it did help calm me down.
"Its fine, I'm just not feeling great…owww" I doubled over clutching my stomach.
"Kluke, what's wrong?" Andropov cried while hugging me tighter.
"Stomach…cramps…hurts…owww" I was hardly able to speak. My head now felt clearer but suddenly there were pains in my stomach.
"Kluke take these, they will help, trust me" Andropov had taken a packet of medicine out of his pocket. He shook a few onto my out stretched hand. I threw them in my mouth and swallowed. It was almost instantaneous, the pains vanished as quickly as they had come. "Better?"
"Much thank you. What were those pains in my stomach? Oh well at least it cleared my splitting headache." I looked up at Andropov smiling expecting him to be relieved but instead he looked dumbstruck. "Earth to Andropov, Helloo anyone in there?"
"Sorry Kluke, " Andropov snapped out of his thoughts. "I think…you might be…"
"Might be what? Andropov tell me" I pleaded with him.
"Pregnant." Andropov said it slowly as he was still in thought.
"Pregnant? … That's great isn't it" I was relieved I though it was going to be bad news. "Isn't it Andropov?" I faltered holding my breathe for his response. Then suddenly his face split into a wide grin, "Of course it is." Andropov wrapped his arms around me pulling me into him. I inhaled his scent. It was lovely, just how I remembered my Andropov in my time.
"But, how did you know?" I asked.
"Well you had them same pains when you found out you were pregnant with Misty, didn't you. And you took some of these," He said while holding up the packet of pills, "and you felt a lot better. I've been carrying these round with me ever since in case you ever had that pain again. I hate seeing you in pain" Andropov looked at me and I knew right then nothing would happen to me if I was with Andropov.
"Thank you Andropov" I smiled at him then suddenly he brought his lips crashing down to mine.
"Let's celebrate" he murmured while still trying to kiss me. I knew how he meant 'Celebrate.'
"But ..What about…Misty?" I said between kisses.
"She is…alright, she…is playing, and I…reckon she…won't stop playing…for another two…hours at least." Andropov also said between kisses.
"well…ok then" I sighed in defeat, besides I couldn't put up a counter argument when there was nothing more I wanted to do then celebrate with Andropov.
Andropov pulled me forward so we were lying on the floor, continually kissing.
Andropov lay next to me on the bed. I sifted closer to him, and he put his arms around me.
"I love you Kluke" he whispered in my ear.
"I love you too" I turned so we were facing. Andropov took that time to capture my lips in his. His hand strayed from the side of my body to my flat stomach, resting there. I moved my hand to rest on top of his.
"Misty is going to be thrilled about having a younger brother or sister." Andropov whispered in my ear again.
I took no notice of this as I was too busy thinking back over the events of the lease few weeks. Schneider had said I had to choose someone, but I think I don't have to choose them now. I want to live my life making choices as I go along. My throat tightened as I dreaded what will await me when I go back. Those Doctors from before had said Andropov dies as I woke up. He didn't get to see me awake. How was I supposed to stop that from happening? Then there was Shu, he changed so much. Jiro, well I love him no denying that. I remembered Gina. My little girl. Tears came to my eyes as I realized I may never get to see her again. Or I may not ever see Moon, Sun, Star or my unborn baby with Jiro. Then I thought about Misty and the unborn child I was carrying right now. It was all too much.
"Kluke, hush hush it's alright, you'll be fine." Andropov attempted to calm me down again.
"No it isn't fine!" I said through gritted teeth, "When I black out which I will do soon I may never see you again. If I wake up you Die, if I stay in a coma I live with Schneider, if you die I go with Shu and have Three Kids! Or I may go with Jiro and have two kids. If somehow I wake up and you wake up then I have this life! Don't you see nothing is going to be Fine I will loose people close to my heart forever." Tears were now streaming down my face. "I can't bear to loose you or Jiro or Shu. I love you all and it's not fair. I've been shown four different futures and I have to choose between them. Every time I wake up I have a new family, a new life, new feelings!" I had stood up without knowing but as soon as I did I fell back to the ground. I curled up into a ball. "I've fallen in love with four people and I have to choose one of them" I continued to cry, I glanced up at Andropov to see him looking at me funnily.
"F…Four people! Who are they?" Anger became evident in his tone.
"S…Shu, Jiro, You and … and Schneider" I winced at the look Andropov gave me. "I'm sorry Andropov I couldn't help it. I've been thrown into the future and I have no idea why. Each day I wake up with someone one else." I was sobbing now, tears streaming down my face. I was scared, this was my last chance with Andropov and I felt like he was going to hit me soon. I heard the bed creak as Andropov got up from it. His footsteps came closer, and closer. I shut my eyes, waiting for what I knew was coming.
Then strong arms wrapped around me, picking me up from the floor. Andropov sat back down on the bed me cradled in his arms.
"It's alright Kluke, you don't have to be scared of me. I won't ever hurt you, I promise. I remember when you went into a coma, everyone couldn't believe it. Then when you woke up, I was nearly dying. The doctors had no idea what was wrong with me. Then you came along. And you whispered something in my ear. Then I felt my strength return, I had something worth fighting for." Andropov looked down at me, no trace of anger what-so-ever. "I'm really sorry for scaring you Kluke. Did you say you met Schneider?"
"Yes, he is fine. He asked about you, although he already knows everything because he is always around us. In fact I imagine he is standing in this room right now laughing at us." I stopped and looked around the room, of course there was nothing there but I felt like Schneider was there. "What did I whisper to you?" Andropov smiled. Then he bent down and whispered something in my ear. I grinned, yes I suppose I would say all that to him.
"Are you ok now Kluke? I don't want you to be upset."
"I'm fine now thank you, I feel much better and less scared" I had stopped crying and was now leaning against Andropov's figure.
"Good, now where were we?" without waiting for an answer Andropov leaned down and planted a kiss on my lips. I made a move to return the gesture but a little voice interrupted us.
"Mummy, Daddy. Misty wants playtime." I turned round to see Misty sitting on the floor at our door, smiling. She had little dimples on her cheeks and her hair was sticking up everywhere.
"Coming darling," Andropov put me on the bed and scooped Misty up in his arms. She put her little arms round his neck as much as she could, so she could cuddle him back. As I was watching the exchange I felt a feeling I had never felt before. It was the blackness creeping over me, but this time pain was with it. My lungs felt tight, my heart was now thumping and my head was spinning.
"Andropov. Misty. Goodbye. Andropov…see…you soon." My breaths were short and rapid making me only able to say a few words at a time. 'Misty…be a…good girl…for Mummy…Ok"
"Ok Mummy, Misty be good girl" Misty's voice was sweet and innocent, not being able to understand the situation. Andropov keeled down in front of me so we were level. "Thank you Kluke, I will see you soon." And with that our lips met and I fell, not into darkness, but into light.
There you are, Chapter 13 concludes Kluke's future. The Decision is in the next chapter. I'm afraid you will have to wait for that however because Bloody Rose 1996 is on holiday and we are unable to write it when we are separated Thank you for Reading.
