Our Little Game

It's Personal

Me and Skylar ran out of headquarters rushing to the hospital as fast as we could. We rushed to the car and almost ran through all the red lights. We got to the hospital and ran to the front desk saying we were there for a Robin Moreno. She told me the room was 237 on the second floor. Skylar went to the elevator while I ran up the stairs. I ran into the room, and there she was peacefully laying down in her bed. The door then quickly slammed into the wall and startled the crap out of her. She had a large bandage on her right arm right below her shoulder.  
     I sighed with relief, I walked over to hug Robin, "Are you ok?" She nodded yes and the hug still didn't break. I preceded with the questions "Who did this too you?" She responded, "I don't know they were wearing a dark gray mask and had a black knife. My tone switched to a more serious one, "Did they hurt you anywhere else?" She nodded no, "They only stabbed me in my arm." She sighed, "Lloyd a lot seems to be happening all at once." My head tilted, "What do you mean?" She turned her head towards the window, "When the doctors were looking at my wounds and everything they found that..."  I cut her off because I knew exactly what she was going to say so I didn't even held it back, "You're pregnant!" Robin's head quickly turned back and stared at me, her eyes sparkled. I didn't even notice the tear that came out my eye, I couldn't stop smiling, I quickly walked over and hugged her again. Robin curiously asked, "How did you know?". I answered her, "You was puking the other morning, and it wasn't a hangover because you didn't drink the other night." We broke the hug and Robin had tears under her eyes with a big smile, I kissed her on her forehead. I then thought of something important, "Wait! Is the baby ok?" Robin nodded her head yes, "The baby wasn't hurt in the altercations, this might also mean this wound might heal easier. I didn't have a ring but at that moment I knew that everything was out in place. I held her hand, got on one knee, and the words flew out of my mouth. I noticed Robin covered her mouth with the other hands trying her best not to shed anymore tears. I then heard my words, "Will you marry me?" Robin moved her hand from her mouth, she sighed and nodded, "Of course you big idiot!" We embraced for even longer that time. I sat next to her and we talked and talked. We talked about everything, the wedding, the baby. We first called Eliana and Francisco, they freaked out more then I did, most of the call you could hear Eliana yelling at Francisco, "I told you b*tch, I told you she was pregnant, what did I say!" Skylar then jumped up confused, "Wait wait wait, when did you guys ever even had sex?" Me and Robin turned and stared at each other for a minute, we then turned to Skylar and shrugged our shoulders. Skylar sat down in the chair trying to do the calculations. I then put my hand out, "Please don't, we all know you're going to be wrong." Skylar agreed and me and Robin continued calling everyone. Robin turned to me again, "Wait is Mr. Anderson back from his vacation?" I looked up for a moment reminiscing, "No....turns out he got stuck over where he was visiting, he was supposed to comeback Sunday but got an extension for Tuesday." Robin then smirked, "So what are we going to name the child?" I smirked back at her, "I don't know we could decide right now, remember we have a about eight months." She looked confused, "Wait but I'm only two weeks pregnant how is it eight months?" I almost chuckled, "Everyone in my family is usually born early, me and my dad were both three weeks and my grandmother was two."
        She smiled, "So if it's a boy?" So I smiled back, "What would you want to name him then?" She looked up and thought, "How about Jason?" I thought about it for a moment, "I really like that name, but rather not name him after anyone?". Robin then nodded her head in agreement and turned it towards the television, "How about Farran?" I rested my hand on my fist, "I really like that name, and if it's a girl?" She couldn't really think of a good name for a moment, so I said, "How about Luna?" She thought about it again, "Nice name but maybe Selene?" I responded, "or Griselda?" She looked at me like I was crazy after I said the name, "Don't you think that's too long?" I can't say she's wrong so I agreed with her. There's many names we could of came up with. The one name I knew I didn't want to choose was our names. I hate it when people name their child after them, to me that's kind of selfish and self-centered. How much of a narcissist do you have to be to do that. To me the point of a name is to start a new path for your child. When you give the child your own name, that's like setting down a path they're going to try and struggle to break off. Also a name is suppose to be unique, especially to the given person. Exactly how unique is a name if it's already taken. My father is the fifth person around his generation in my family to have his name. I'm so glad my mother stepped in at the last moment and told him that she didn't want to give her child a name that was taken at least eight times that we know of. Eventually Skylar had to go home and I was left alone in the room with Robin. She was tired but really happy, she never stopped smiling since I came in the room this morning. That smile brings me comfort, and security. That smile makes me know nothing will come between us. She fell asleep while I was holding her hand. I started gently stroking her face, and her soft wavy brunette hair. She had olive skin with a slightly tanned glow, and wore glasses. I don't know why but she sleeps with her glasses on. I kissed her on her forehead for the second time today, she than started smiling, still asleep. I can't believe we're already starting a family, a new chapter in both our lives.
Morning came and very quickly Eliana and Francisco came to visit. Eliana was cranky from waking up earlier then she usually wakes up. I didn't really have to deal with it but Francisco did. They asked about the baby and I forgot to tell them about the new engagement. They were even more excited then they were yesterday when they found out about the engagement. Eliana gave Francisco a look, "So when are we going to get married and have our own child?" Francisco was dumbstruck not knowing how to answer, "Some time soon, sometime this year we can try today if you want." Me and Robin both gave them a serious look we both spoke in unison, "Can you guys not talk about this in front of us?" They smiled and went out the room, I'm kind of scared to know what they're going to do after they leave. I prepared to get Robin ready to sign out her discharge papers getting ready to leave. Eliana and Francisco came back saying that they want to eat after we leave. Eliana said she wanted to speak to Robin about something so they left me and Francisco alone. Me and Francisco started talking and he asked me a question. He spoke in a serious tone, "Do you think it's the right time?" I was confused, "What do you mean?" He then did a little chuckle, "This is why I'm talking about." He pulled at a box and opened it to a customized engagement ring, "I'm going to ask Eliana to marry me today."
