Night Watch

"Positive?" Rouge asked herself. "Positive?" Again she asked in disbelief. Four out of five and it was positive. The first had read negative and she was happy till she was curious and wanting to make sure, and the rest read positive.

A month ago she had done something she shouldn't have and done. She seduced Blade J. Ishikawa, a great friend of hers, into sex and they did it. Now she was pregnant but refused to believe it. She took one more test that day and it read positive. She cried. Rouge cried in her bathroom on the floor holding her knees to her chest for an hour if not more. Then she decided to call him. He had a right to know and he would also have a right to put say into what they should do.

Rouge walked to the kitchen and picked her phone up. She dialed his cell phone number: 723-4645. The phone rang. `Please be there.' She begged to herself.

"Blade here."

Rouge froze. She had to say something but couldn't.

"Hello? Hello?! Look kid! I'm an officer and I'll trace this call back and find you!"

"It's me Rouge." Rouge said just above a whisper.

"R-Rouge?" He now sounded scared as hell. "You n-need something?" She knew he was clutching the phone tight. He was probably praying for the best.

"B-Blade I'm p-pregnant."

"Pregnant?" He asked as if he hadn't heard. "Pregnant from_us?"

"Yes. You're the only guy I've done it with in the last month." Rouge heard him sink to his knees and punch something. She heard him swear every word he could get out to himself.

"You still there?"

"Yeah Blade."

"Let's go to the hospital and get a test from them, okay?"

Rouge slapped her forehead. `Why didn't I go see them? These things aren't always right.' She said in her mind in hope of gaining some comfort. "Sure."

"I'll swing by and pick you up."

"Okay." Rouge heard the line die and hung the phone up. She went to change and wash her face. Rouge put on a shirt and sweater as it was cold out, and some jeans along with shoes. Just as she finished cleaning her face up she heard the doorbell ring. Rouge walked over and opened the door. Blade stood there in some black jeans and a leather jacket. He had boots and his usual wide brim hat.

"Ready?" His voice was raspier and weaker then usual.

"Yeah." The two got in his pickup and drove to the general hospital. They went in and Blade flashed his badge.

"Right this way Sergeant Blade." The clerk said. (Officers really can't do that if you didn't know but this is a story okay)

The two where led to a room. "The doctor will be in soon." The nurse left. The room was white and had green trim at the top and bottom of the wall all the way around. There was a desk that took up a little of two walls. On the north wall next to the desk was two chairs. Just two feet away was the bed. The desk had a sink, some containers, and many drawers. There was a trashcan for medical waste and non-medical waste near the door. Rouge sat on the bed while Blade looked at some of the charts and such that were posted on the walls.

"You scared?" Rouged asked to break the silence.

"Yes." Blade replied sitting down.

"So am I."

The doctor came in with a clipboard looking over some things. "Hello. I'm Dr. Gewro." He said. He was a tall man with dark brown hair and a short beard. "So you two must be Miss Rouge G. Ochiaca and you are Mr. Blade J. Ishikawa." The two nodded. "This is rather strange of what happened but I'm not supposed to question unless it is needed information or you wish to tell me." Neither made a said anything. "Anyways, you are here for a pregnancy test I take it."

Rouge nodded. "I am."

"Okay then. Mr. Ishikawa, you can step out if you want to or if you feel uncomfortable with him in here Miss Ochiaca." Rouge looked at Blade who nodded and stepped out. "Okay then. I'll be doing the basic things to check your health and then a female nurse will come in to test you, okay?"

"Thank you." After Doctor Gewro did his work he stepped out. Blade then came in and sat down.

"You healthy?"

"Yeah." Rouge nodded. A minute later a nurse came in and Blade stepped out. After the nurse left Blade returned. The two waited awhile before the doctor returned. "What does it say?"

"It reads positive."

"Are you sure?" Blade asked.

"Yes I am sir." He stepped to the door. "I'll give you two some time to talk this out." Then he left.

"Damn it." Blade grumbled standing up and pacing a bit.

"What do we do now?"

"I don't know!" Blade snapped.

"Don't you take that tone with me Blade!" Rouge snapped back. "This child is as much of mine as it is yours!"

"This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't seduced me!" He countered.

"You gave into it and were supposed to be watching me!"

"You're paranoid! There was no one stalking you!"

"Stop yelling at me!" She yelled at as she began to cry. She was surprised to see Blade beginning to cry silently as he slid to the floor against the wall.

"What are we going to do?"

"I'm sorry to intrude." Began Dr. Gewro. The two gained their posture as best they could. "But you could get an apportion."

"An apportion?" Rouge asked.

"Yes. The baby hasn't developed enough to be anything right now and you can have it removed." The two looked at each other then the doctor. He pulled out some pamphlets and handed it to the two. "I'll give you time to read these and then I'll be back. Take your time and call the nurse outside when you're ready to make a decision." Then he left again.

Rouge and Blade read through the pamphlets a couple of times. "What to do?" Rouge asked. "I'm not ready for a child but I don't agree with apportions. It's murder."

"I feel the same." Blade said taking his jacket off as if it was hot. He ran his metal fingers through his long hair and sighed deeply. "I could take the child."

"What about your job Blade?" Rouge asked. "It would be too much work and what if something happened to you?" Blade nodded.

"I see your point. Well then Rouge I'll leave the choice with you. You are the one that'll have to carry the child and I support you in every way." Blade smiled as best he could. Rouge hated seeing him like this. He was so strong and now he was broken. Then Blade stepped closer and took her soft hands in his strong and metal ones. Rouge shivered at the cold touch of the right but didn't mind. "If you wish to have the child then I'll help raise them."

Rouge leaned close and rested her head on his chest. "You are so sweet."

"So have you decided?" A nurse asked. "I don't want to rush you two but we have other patience."

Rouge nodded. "We have. I want to have the child."

"Okay then." An hour later the two were eating at a restaurant.

"So you really want to have the baby?" Blade asked.

"Yes."

"Then like I said I'll help."

"Oh, no Blade." Rouge said looking away. "I can't drag you in." Rouge hoped he would disregard her comment.

"Rouge. This child is as much yours as it is mine. I want to help and I won't leave you to this task alone." He smiled a bit brighter then he did at the hospital.

"Really?" Rouge asked. Blade got up and sat with her on the other side of the table with her. Blade wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close.

"Yes. I'm sure we can figure a way out to raise this child. We'll do this right or may Chaos walk in now and strike me down." Blade looked about. "See." Rouge laughed at his stupid remark.

"We will, we will."

Please review. Who's kicking ass? Me! This is still dedicated to those I said it was in the first chapter.
