Thomas and Sarah- Meme- Angst- Seperation (AU)
She'd been gone for months without a word and with no way to trace her. Just vanished into thin air. Had it been anyone else he'd be mad that they could even pull that off without him finding them. But with her...well he'd admit he was more hurt than anything. If she was going to up and leave he'd expected...well at least a goodbye, or some note or something. Not just an empty place and no leads to follow.

Which is why she's the last person he expects to see when he drops by a supermarket in one of the smaller neighbourhoods on his way home. There's an initial moment of shock and then it hits him what she's buying and her...condition. He probably scares a few of the other customers by the way he stands there, eyebrow twitching in anger, and glaring daggers at the young woman innocently making her purchases.

He never makes it home. Instead he follows her, recklessly still in his civilian ID, as far as he can without alerting her to his presence to where she's staying. Still blinded by anger, he doesn't wait till it's completely dark and changes to Robin gear to sneak into her living room ahead of her.

A tall shadow looms behind Sarah's couch, eyebrow still twitching, as she enters.

	He sighs a bit and hugs her tighter, "I...missed you too." Although at the next part he pulls back and actually holds her at arms length just so he can see her face to be sure she's serious because she was sounding insane, "What? What are you talking about? Why would I hate you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Because I ran away and hid half way across the globe without saying anything," she points out very slowly and just utterly confused by him. It's obvious she's confused now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes I'm aware," he deadpans. "But that means I'm mad at you and...well hurt but I don't hate you. It'd be pretty hard for me to hate you to be honest. Are you feeling okay?" He looks at her curiously, maybe there was something else causing her to act funny. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Robin. I'm almost five months pregnant, I can't keep food down as much as I'd like, my hip constantly hurts and I've only slept thirteen hours in the past four days. There's no way I feel okay." She frowns after a moment. "I'm also really hungry all of the sudden. This is a bad time to be hungry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just checking. You thought I hated you so I wasn't sure..." He gets off the couch and gives her a small wry smile, "Those are only acceptable sleeping hours if you keep my kind of schedule." He ruffles his hair a bit and glances over to her kitchen, "Did you want me to get you something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I had to make arrangements to come back here and things got crazy." She considers then nods slowly. "Turkey sandwich should be fine. Don't put anything weird on it, please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's a frown her way now as he makes his way to her kitchen, "What kind of crazy?" He fishes through her fridge for some ingredients, there's not much, and starts on the sandwich all while keeping an eye on her to make sure she didn't run. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was being good and out of trouble, right? Someone accused me of smuggling illegal goods half way through my trip." She's fairly annoyed by that. "I had to set people straight and almost blew my traveling cover ID over that. I was very annoyed by that." She has the look of someone who is very tired. She would love to sleep more but she needs to eat something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-07 05:16 am UTC (link)
	"Oh? And what were you supposed to be smuggling?" he asks from the kitchen as he finishes making her sandwich. The story has him suspicious, not that he doesn't believe her but because perhaps someone set her up. Wow...he felt so bat-paranoid right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Drugs," her tone and expression is filled with disgust. "As if I'd go near anything like that. I even hate going to the doctor. Only reason I go now is because it's not just for me." She looks like the whole thing has her cranky. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-07 05:28 am UTC (link)
	"Right." He hands her the sandwich on its plate and sits beside her. "So..uh, how're you holding up?" Although he does kind of want to ask about the kid, he's not sure how to go about it so instead opts for dancing around the subject. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, I guess. Pregnancy doesn't really agree with me. I keep getting stuck places because I forget my belly will get in the way," she admits sheepishly before she starts on the food. It's missing something. She should have requested jam instead of mustard. Oh god she has gone mad. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-07 05:39 am UTC (link)
	"I suppose that's a problem," he says, clearly feeling awkward and not knowing what to do. Although he does notice her expression about the sandwich and gives her a questioning glance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think I need jam." She looks embarrassed. "It sounds good for some weird reason. I try to ignore the weird cravings." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sarah will just get a look from him that shows how crazy he thinks that is. He sits quietly and watches her eat for a bit before getting around to what he intended to say at one point. "...Sorry." And it's clear he doesn't mean for the yelling. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-07 05:50 am UTC (link)
	She knows how crazy it sounds. "Sorry?" She licks her lower lip then blinks at him in confusion. "For what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-02-07 05:52 am UTC (link)
	He just gives her an odd look and glances at her belly. "For..." He gestures a bit to indicate the obvious here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You really are thick," she mutters softly. "Robin. It takes two people to get pregnant. I seem to recall being very willing and.... enthusiastic." That bit has her flush slightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Which is why it's my fault. If it wasn't for me you wouldn't be. .." He can't look at her now because as mad as he is at her...he's more pissed at himself. "I should've been more careful," he mutters, more to admonish himself than for her to hear. He'd thought they'd been careful. Clearly not enough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	outfoxing 2012-02-07 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	"It's partly my fault," she points out. "I was on the pill but ran out at some point before I could get more packs. I should have been more careful on my end." Of course she had a feeling he'd keep blaming himself no matter what she said. Instead she focused on finishing her food off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's my fault. I screwed up," he continues as if he hadn't heard her at all. "Shouldn't have happened at all." He runs his fingers through his hair and puts his head in his hands trying to figure out how he'd managed to screw everything up so badly. "I'm sorry for screwing everything up Sarah. I didn't mean..." He can't even finish that and just sighs and stares at the floor.

She sets aside the food and gently pulls Robin into another hug. What else is she supposed to do?

"It's not so bad now. I came back. We'll.... figure this out. It's going to be fine Robin," she tells him sounding much more calm than he probably feels. She's still utterly terrified that things won't go right but she's trying to help him and herself by thinking positive.

He lets her pull him into a hug but continues to stare at the floor, clearly displeased with himself. He felt like such a failure, somehow never being good enough or screwing up in some way. Why couldn't things just go his way for once?

She only gets a grunt in response. He's a pessimist at heart, and really he doesn't need much help with that right now, not in this situation.

She wishes she could do something. Anything to try and pull him out of this mood he has thrown himself into. She does get an idea. Slowly she tugs one of his hands down to put it on her stomach.

"This.... isn't a bad thing you know. Sure he does seem to enjoy keeping me up at night but pfft, who needs sleep?" She tries to smile at him a little. "This will be fine. Seriously."

	"It's not like either of us had a normal sleep schedule to begin with," he replies, still clearly sullen but trying at least to cheer up for her. She was trying for him, at least he could do the same for her. Oh. It hits him for a split second later. It's a boy. "...any name ideas?" It's his attempt to lighten the mood, although he doesn't look much happier. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
