Phone Calls and Meetings

Hatori Sohma looked at the calendar sitting on his desk. "Two years today." He said looking up at the picture of Kana. "You've moved on so I guess I should too." With that said he took the picture off the shelf and put it in the trash. As he began to sit down his phone rang. "Hello" Hatori said into the phone like it was Shigure or Ayame. "Is Hatori Sohma there," came a female voice. "This is Hatori Sohma; sorry I didn't say it when I picked up the phone I thought it was one of my cousins." Hatori apologized as he took out a piece of paper and a pen. "Hello my name is Jasmine Brown and I'm studying to become a doctor, and I heard from a dear friend of mine that your office was the best place to do an internship," by this time Jasmine sounded really nervous "and I was wondering if we could meet in person so we could talk it over." Hatori had to think about it for a second. "Okay ca you come in for an interview tomorrow," Hatori said "One thirty okay with you" "Yeah one thirty is fine with me, thank you very much." Jasmine said. Hatori gave her his address. After he hung up the phone he wrote down her name and the time she was going to show up. Just then Shigure came into the office. "Ha'ri I think I'm getting a cold or something." Shigure said as Hatori got up to get his stuff. Shigure sat down in Hatori's chair and started looking at what Hatori was writing down when he came in. "Does Ha'ri have a date tomorrow with this Jasmine lady" Shigure sang as Hatori pulled out his stethoscope. "No Shigure I have an interview tomorrow for a new assistant because it is winter and I think I might need someone to help me." Hatori said. "Help you do what keep you warm in bed you know it's been so long since you have been with a woman it can't be good for you." Shigure said not seeing Hatori fill up the needle, but he did feel it when Hatori jammed it into his arm. "Ow Ha'ri that hurt why did you do that, you could have told me first." Shigure whined as he started rubbing his arm. Hatori walked back to his medicine chest and pulled out a box of pills. "Take two of these a day and come back when they are all gone, oh and don't tell anyone about me looking for a new assistant." "All right I won't if you'll stop with the painful shots those really hurt." Shigure said still rubbing his arm. "Fine, Deal." Hatori said handing the box to Shigure. After Shigure left Hatori looked around and decided he needed to clean up a little bit. By the time Hatori had finished cleaning up, taking his bath and eating dinner it was almost 11:30. He was going to be tired when Akito got there in the morning. Hatori checked his alarm and crawled into bed as soon as his head hit his pillow he fell fast asleep.

Hatori woke up when his alarm clock went off. He still had a lot to get done before Jasmine got there. "Damn Akito's coming in 45 minutes and I'm not even ready." Hatori said as he stumbled into the bathroom. Ten minutes later he came out all dressed and headed into the kitchen from the fridge he took out his coffee and brought it to the counter and measured out more than he usually did, because he wasn't sure if Jasmine was going to want any. By the time the coffee was done brewing and he had a nice hot cup of coffee he went into his office and sat down at his desk. Akito was waiting for him. "Hatori I'll let you drink your coffee before we start." Akito said as he sat down again. "Thank you Akito that's very kind of you." Hatori said as he drank his coffee.

Jasmine was getting nervous she wasn't sure if he would even interview her by the way she looked. Jasmine Brown was 27 years old and had long black hair that went to the middle of her back, but when she worked she pulled it up into a bun. Her eyes were a warm hazelnut. But none of that bothered her. It was her waistline that did. In the last three months she had gained a lot of weight and she was both happy about it and unhappy about it and that was what she was afraid of. When she was in high school she had a great body and she used to go to school with three Sohma not remembering which one was Hatori. At noon she left her apartment to pick up some lunch and a lovely fruits basket. After she ate lunch at the same café she and Kana had eaten at the day before and after she picked out a wonderful fruits basket. She took off down the street briefcase in tow.

Akito left at ten after one. Hatori had put some cookies and stuff on the table. At one thirty she was knocking at the door. "She got here right on time, that's good I like when people when they are punctual." Hatori said as he went to open the door. After opening it he was shocked, there stood Jasmine Brown homing coming queen and an honor student with a basket of fruit. "Jas is that you." He said as took the basket out of her hands and led her inside. "Hatori long time no see how have you been." Jasmine said as she put a pillow between them and gave him a hug. (AN: I don't know if that would work but you never know so I decided to try it) "You're the only one that knows that works." Hatori said as he returned the hug. "I think you're also the only one that knows about our secret besides Tohru, how did you find out again?" "Well I was coming out of the girls locker room and you and your cousins were talking and walking and I walked right into you and I think Shigure and after the Poof went away I saw a black dog and a seahorse and thought you guys were playing a joke on me and I was going to go and tell the principal because I also thought you were the ones who stole my swim suit, boy did I get an eyeful when you guys poofed back naked. I could not look at you guys in the face for two months but I always kept it a secret to this day." Jasmine said as she ate a cookie. "Would you like some coffee? I made some dismorning." Hatori offered. "Nope can't have any not good for the baby." Jasmine said turning a little pink. "Baby your pregnant why didn't you tell me, your husband must be worried. I've kept you here for hours and I didn't even interview you." Hatori started to ramble on. "Whoa hold on, for one I'm not married, yes I am pregnant three and a half months and the man that did this to me flew off and now lives somewhere in California. We lived together for seven years so it was a common law marriage so he just left me two months ago. And I haven't seen him since. I don't think he ever even cared about me." After Jasmine said this she burst into tears. Hatori felt terrible about what he had said he went over to her and put the pillow in place. "Jas I'm really sorry for what I said I was out of line and my place." He said as he rubbed her head as he soothed her. "Calm down Jas calm down now let's get this interview started if that is okay with you Ms. Brown." Hatori said as he let go and went to his desk. "Please have a seat Ms. Brown." Jasmine picked up the hint and took her seat. "Dr. Sohma I was wondering if you needed any assistants this winter, in your office." "Well hello Jasmine, you've grown up since the last time I saw you." Ayame said as he walked into the office. "Ayame how are you doing, your hair has gotten long, almost as long as mine." Jasmine said has she started to get up. Hatori throw the pillow at Ayame who missed it. Jasmine picked the pillow up off the floor and placed it on her chest. She than gave Ayame a big hug. "Wow I feel so loved" Ayame said "Did you put on some weight Ms. Homecoming queen, because if you did it looks good on you. I got the perfect dress for you if you want it." "Ayame I can't accept it right now because I won't be staying at this weight for much longer." Jasmine said as she placed her hand on her stomach. "Ha'ri your fast, all ready got her pregnant." Ayame said with a wink. "Ayame your wrong this is the first time in seven years I have seen her, so how could I make her three and a half months pregnant." Hatori questioned him. "Jasmine can you start Monday." "Of course I can I'll be here at 8." Jasmine said with a smile. "Make it 11 I don't open until noon plus you need to sleep in because of the baby." Hatori said as he started writing things down. "And I want to see you in my office on Friday for a full check up and ultrasound before you start working." "As you wish Dr. Sohma." Jasmine said as she picked up her briefcase and started to leave. "Bye you two and stay out of trouble oh and tell Shigure that I said hi." With that said she put on her jacket and boots and started to walk down the path. "Jas wait how about I drive you home it's not to safe for you to be walking in the winter especially when your pregnant." Ayame said from Hatori's car. "Umm… Ayame do you have a license?" Jasmine asked as she put her hands on her hips looking stern. "Well no not really" Ayame answered looking at the steering wheel. "Does Hatori know you have his car than." She asked. "Yeah he does now, Ayame will you get out of my car, I'll drive you both home if you want. " Hatori said as he started to button up his jacket and took the keys from Ayame. "Ayame when we next meet we are going to have a long talk." "Hatori are you sure you want me to help you at your office because in five months I'll have a little baby and might need to take some time off." Jasmine said from the back seat. "It will fine." Hatori reassured her. They dropped Ayame off and when they turned on to her road they were blocked by fire engines. "I wonder what happened" Jasmine asked as she got out of the car and walked closer to her apartment. "Oh My God" was all she could say before she fainted on the side walk.
