One Moment

By Shinto Red

Part 2:

Misa looked as if a ten ton truck had run her over. She had barely
heard anything the doctor said after.

' Pregnant. I'm pregnant. '

" Should you decide to go through with the pregnancy. "

' Do I want to keep the child? '

" I would like to. "

'What about my career? What would the others say?'

" Captain. "

'Oh God.what would he say? '

"Captain!"

Misa jumped in her chair. The doctor pushed her glasses up and rubbed
the bridge of her nose before letting out a sigh. " I see we're not going to be
able to discuss anything today. Let's just schedule something. I'll give you
clearance to have the rest of the day off. "

She opened a drawer and pulled out some pamphlets. " In the meantime,
why don't you read through these. If you have any questions, please call."

Misa nodded her head automatically, but her dazed appearance let the
doctor know that she probably didn't hear her. She escorted her to the door.
After closing the door, she returned to her seat and prepared herself for the
next patient.

*************************************************************

Hikaru searched scanned the numbers of the doors. ' Why'd they have to
rearrange things. Why'd they have to make a separate military wing. It was easier
when it was combined. '

The wind was briefly knocked out when he slammed into something. Without
thinking, he grabbed the person's shoulders that he had run into and prevented
them from having a nasty fall on their rump. An apology was on his lips but what
came out was a name.

" Hayase. "

They had been avoiding one another like the plague after what had
happened. A few days ago, Hikaru tried to talk with her, but she always ran
away from him and acted extremely cold. Even Claudia was complaining to Roy
about receiving the cold shoulder from Misa.

" Have to do a physical too? " he said with a lopsided grin.

Misa snapped out of her hazy state of mind. ' Oh no! Not him! Not now! '

" Let me go! "

She pushed him away. " Leave me alone! "

Hikaru, to say the least, was more than a little stunned by her
behavior.

He took a step towards her. " What's wrong? "

Her eyes were wide and wild. " Keep away! "

She tried to run around him but he caught her arm. She wriggled out of
his grip and made a mad dash down the hall.

The noise had not gone unnoticed. Soon, several heads to pop out from
the doors. One of them had been the doctor Misa had been to.

' Ah, the father. ' she thought.

Hikaru noticed that his doctor, a middle aged, balding man, was
leaning against a door frame.

" I need to reschedule. "

The man waved him off. " No problem. "

He turned to Misa's doctor across the hall, an amused look on his
face. " Another one? "

" Another what? " she asked while raising an eyebrow.

" Another girl who knocked herself up."

She gave a dirty look. " I can't disclose any information
about my patients. "

He gave her a smirk. " The guy at least has some taste. Nice tail. "

" No wonder why they only make you check the male
soldiers. " she said dryly.

" Hardy Har Har. I check both. Besides, my wife would slap
me silly. "

" Then you get slapped often. "

He flipped her the bird. " Your wife deserves a prize. "

" Why? "

" For staying with you all these years. "

Another doctor added his two cents. " Probably drugged her. "

He scowled at the man. " In any case, that boy is going to
get the shock of his life. "

She let out a sigh. " Yes he is."

***********************************************************

The two had gone running through two, causing any heads to turn.
Shammy Milliome , Vanessa Laird and Kim Kabirov, members of the bridge
crew that usually worked with Claudia LaSalle and Misa, were more than
a little surprised at seeing their usually cool and proper sempai
running like a mad woman right past them. Even more surprising was
the young, loud mouthed pilot, Hikaru Ichijyo, chasing after her.

" Did you guys see that?" asked Vanessa.

A joint 'yes' was the other two women's response.

" Good. It means I don't need a new prescription for my glasses. "

' Though I think I may need a shrink. ' she thought.

******************************************************************

The chase had taken them to the Officer's Quarters. Some soldiers,
either having heard about the two officers running about from word of
mouth or through a phone call, rooted them on as if they were marathon
runners when they passed by. Claudia, who had been busy filing out
some paper work in her place, decided to grab a drink from a vending
machine. " What in the world is all the excitement about? "

A young officer who had been standing next to her
replied, " There's a chase, ma'am. "

" What chase? "

" That pilot in Skull Squadron that argues with Capt. Hayase."

She raised the soft drink to her lips. " He's runnin' after her. "

Claudia felt like she swallowed a rock. " What?! "

" Take a look for yourself, ma'am. "

Sure enough, the two were running down the hall away from them.

***************************************************************

Misa unlocked her door and quickly tried to shut it. Hikaru
placed his foot in between the door and the frame. Misa gave up on the
front door and ran to her bedroom, dropping the pamphlets and the test
results on the way before she locked herself in. Hikaru ran up to the
bedroom door.

" Hayase! Hayase! What's going on? What's wrong? " he
said while pounding on her door.

After a few minutes, the pounding ceased. " I don't get why. "

Silence.

Misa, who had been sitting with her back against the door
and her head cradled in her hands, raised her head up. ' Maybe he
gave up. But, I didn't hear him leave.'

She got up and opened the bedroom door a crack. Hikaru was
sitting on

the floor and reading a piece of paper in one hand, holding a
pamphlet in the other. His jaw was hanging open slightly, his eyes
nearly as wide as saucers. He suddenly looked up and caught her gaze.

He looked like a lost little boy. " Misa? "

Misa blanched. ' Oh no. '

" You.You shouldn't have read that."

Misa felt her world go black.

" MISA! "

I'm evil, aren't I? hehe. I seem to like making Hikaru run after Misa.
Seems fair considering she did that during the show. Got to make
the boy suffer. ;-)
