The Life We Choose

Chapter 4

He was reluctant at first but in the end she convinced him to do it, he sighed as he remember it an then looked at his drivers license “Amon Sena” he said to himself as he walked to his car “well I don’t mind that name to much.”

Amon slid in and looked at Robin who was in the passengers seat, they had gotten married and he changed his last name for her. Now after a little more than a year they had an eight-month-old child named Emily Sena, she had her fathers black hair and her mothers emerald green eyes.

“Amon why are we going back?” asked a now sixteen-year-old Robin.

“Because I needpickpick up my stuff Nagira has loo looking after, and besides if we are only visiting Japan I won’t get in trouble for being with you” he said as he started the car and headed for the airport.

“Are we going to see the others?” she asked glancing in the back seat to see Emily in her car seat.

“If you want” was his only reply.

They got to the airport and on their flight without a problem and a little while later they were touching down on Japanese soil, Robin was nervous about her return while if Amon was nervous he wasn’t showing it and Emily was asleep and to young to care.

Memories came rushing back and a nostalgic feeling came over the two parents as they saw the familiar roads and buildings, they hadn’t had contact with their friends for nearly a year and a half so they weren’t sure what to expect as they pulled into the familiar parking lot.

“Do you think they’ll be mad?” asked Robin nervously.

“Probably” he replied as he shut the car off and slid out.

Robin slid out and then opened the back door to retrieve a sleeping Emily; she smiled as she picked the baby up in her arms “she’s so beautiful” she whispered.

“Just like her mother” whispered Amon as he hugged her from behind and inspected Emily from over Robin’s shoulder.

They both sighed and halfheartedly began the journey towards the front doors, when they reached them they were somewhat relieved to see that no one watched the doors anymore and so they went straight to the elevator.

“Do you think anything has changed?” asked Robin while looking at Emily.

“We’ll find out soon enough,” said Amon as the elevator stopped.

The doors slid open and they stepped out looking at the familiar hallway, their feet began moving down the hall as they had done countless times before but it seemed to take an eternity to reach the office doors.

“Sakaki quit throwing shit!” Dojima’s voice said through the door.

“Why don’t you?” he said like a child.

“I’m not throwing anything you ass!”

Karasuma was talking over her shoulder as she opened the door “Both of you stop” she said and looked forward “Amon!?”

Everyone stopped and looked to the door and no one noticed that Robin was behind Amon yet “Amon what are you doing, where have you been?” cried Dojima as she ran to him forgetting about why he left.

Amon lut aut a breath of air as Dojima barreled into him and she hugged him tightly, this caused him to shift and they could see Robin standing behind him.

“R-robin!?” breathed Michael as he slowly stood up.

They were about to ask questions once they remembered why the two had left when a baby began crying, making them look to Robin’s arms, the chief walked in and stopped to see what was going on.

“This is Emily Sena,” said Robin shyly as she stepped next to Amon.

It got quiet, except for the crying, as no one was sure what to say and this news was another knife in the heart for Michael, finally Karasuma spoke up “c-can I hold her?”

Robin nodded and handed the baby to the psychic woman as the others gathered around to inspect the infant more closely, Karasuma seemed fine as she cooed to the baby making her settle down.

“Amon why’d you leave?” asked Dojima ignoring Robin and the baby.

“Just to be safe, and to marry Robin” he stated making everyone finally notice the rings on the two lover’s fingers.

“Why did you do this Amon, what about what we had?” cried Dojima not letting him go.

“Because I was in love with Robin and didn’t want to hurt you, but I failed at that . . .” he sighed, “so we went where are age wasn’t a problem and have only returned to retrieve some belongings.”

Dojima began crying harder and Sakaki looked over at Amon “I’m glad you found love, I hope you two stay happy” he said.

“Thank you,” they replied as Amon put an arm around Robin.

Sakaki peeled Dojima off Amon and sat her down, she cried at her desk while the others talked some more “her last name’s Sena?” asked the chief.

“I took Robin’s last name,” replied Amon as Karasuma gave Emily back to Robin.

“Hmm” said the chief before he left.

“So you two are alright then?” asked Michael.

“Yes, I couldn’t wish for anything more” said Robin as she kissed Amon “we have a home and a life plus it’s with the man I love.”

Michael couldn’t take it anymore and left the room and Sakaki sat next to Dojima and tried to comfort her but when she felt someone’s hand on her back she looked at him “only Amon can touch me get away!” she cried and ignored the pained look on his face.

Sakaki got up and left leaving Amon alone with three girls “you guys want to stop at Harry’s?” asked Amon.

Dojima shot up and ran to him “yes! please let me come with you,” she cried and Romademade sure to hide her anger.

“I don’t have anything to do so I’m in,” said Karasuma.

They made their way to Harry’s with Dojima hanging on Amon while Robin and Karasuma trailed behind them catching up, Harry was shocked to see Amon and Robin but hid it until he saw the baby and his eyes widened.

He figured that since Robin and Amon were the ones that had disappeared that it was their child, that and the fact it looked like them “welcome back” he said his shock hidden.

“Thanks” replied Robin as the group sat at a table.

“So what’ll it be for you guys today” he asked.

They all ordered and Harry went to work while they began catching up “So where did you guys go?” asked Karasuma.
“We actually didn’t go to just one place, we’ve been moving around a lot after getting married,” said Robin.
n wan was trying to pay attention but Dojima was sitting a little to close to him and was pulling his sleeve, he looked at her and she had unshed tears in her eyes. He hated seeing her cry but decided against trying to comfort her when Robin looked at him, he sighed and looked out the window.

“Amon can I talk with you privately?” asked Dojima.

He looked at her then to Robin but she didn’t say no so he nodded and the two went outside “What is it Dojima?”

“Amon I don’t understand . . . I love you why don’t you love me?”

“Because I love Robin . . . I’m sorry but . . .” he didn’t finish because Dojima had jumped into his arms and began kissing him.

He started kissing back but remembered Robin he pulled away and looked into Dojima’s teary eyes “we can’t do this, and I’m sorry I hurt you but I’m with Robin and there is no chance for ‘us’ any longer.”

She began to openly cry and Amon hugged her to try and comforter even though he felt a bit awkward, he pulled away after a few minutes “Dojima please move on . . . we can’t be together” and with that said he turned and went back inside.

Robin eyed her husband warily as she noticed a light shade of lipstick on his mouth, but he said nothing as he sat down and hopped into the conversation. Minutes later Dojima walked in with smeared lipstick and now Robin was angry but hid it well, she would wait until she had Amon alone before she talked with him.

“Not much has changed here though,” said Karasuma bringing Robin back to their conversation.

“You’re right, it’s almost as if we never left” said Robin looking around.

“Please Amon I don’t have a ride,” begged Dojima and the others started to listen.

He sighed “what about Karasuma?”

“She lives in the opposite direction” she whined, “I’m still staying at our apartment.”

“What’s going on?” asked Robin.

Amon sighed again, “she needs a ride home . . .”

“So take her” said Karasuma “I need to keep talking with Robin anyway.”

Amon looked at Robin and she didn’t want to say anything in front of Dojima because she was shy so she didn’t and Amon shrugged his shoulders before standing up “I’ll be back soon.”

Robin watched as Dojima attached herself to his arm and walked out the door with him, she heard the car pull away and fought with herself to trust that Amon wouldn’t do anything, ‘I don’t know about Dojima but Amon wouldn’t betray me.’

It hadn’t taken that long to get back to his old apartment where Dojima had moved all of her stuff and stayed there to remind herself of Amon, he stopped and waited for her to get oAmonAmon come up with me.”

“Dojima I already told you . . .”

She began crying “you say yourry rry and you didn’t want to hurt me, but if you truly are then make it up to me . . . if I can never have you again just let me be with you one last time before you leave.”

He sighed, “look I’m married and n’t n’t want to betray Robin . . .”

“You betrayed me with her, the least you could do is give me this one last thing” she yelled.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly “if I agree to this I don’t want to hear about it ever again and you’ll have to stop hanging on me, is that clear?” he asked while fighting internally.

“Yes, I understand” she said and they stepped out.


After an hour, Robin was getting antsy “Karasuma take me to Dojima’s.”

Karasuma saw the look in Robin’s eyes and didn’t argue as they grabbed Emily and headed for her car, she could see Robin was trying to remain calm so she sped to the apartment.

“Watch Emily” demanded Robin as she got out of the car.

Karasuma watched her disappear through the building’s doors, she was trying to remember what number Amon’s apartment was when a door opened and she saw Amon. He was dressed and looked fine, as she walked up to him ‘I can’t believe I thought he would do something’ she thought watching him close the door.

“Robin!?” he yelped when he turned around.
“Hi Amon . . .” she began happily.

The door opened “Amon you forgot . . .” began Dojima while wearing only a sheet “ . . . your watch.”

Amon saw Robin’s smile melt away and anger etch on her face, Dojima gripped the sheet tighter and just watched not sure what to do “Amon what the hell is going on?” his wife demanded.

He opened his mouth to answer but nothing came out, Dojima looked at the floor somewhat happy that she hurt Robin but not sure what to do now.

“Answer me” said Robin, unshed tears brimming her eyes.
