Yeah, if it wasn't obvious before than i'll tell you that i'm one of the authors that will rarely upload a story. Sorry. This probably wouldn't even have been put up if my friend's birthday wasn't a week ago and I forced myself to finish writing this for her. So everyone can thank Tiffany for this!
Oh and for those who care, SCHOOL'S OUT!! But i'm kind of sad because one of my favorite teachers isn't going to be working at my school next year so I won't see her in the hallways anymore.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of it's sequels.
Too Soon
"Sora"
"Sora! Sora!" Roxas gasped, shoes slipping as he ran through the kitchen and into the living room.
"Sora, hurry there isn't much time left."
"Wha ... huh ... now!"
"Yes now you lazy bastard. Hurry up." Giving the other a shove, Roxas sped out the door. Sora just stood there in shock until he shook himself and followed the blond.
--
The two ran past wide-eyes nurses and rolling medicine carts until Sora spotted Kairi in front of a pasty-white door, anxiously wringing her wrists and biting her lower lip.
Her eyes lip up when she saw them. Sora had to stop himself from falling over her as she grabbed him into a tight hug, trying to gain some comfort.
"The nurse said to wait out here. They won't let us in to see what's going on." She buried her head in Sora's shoulder.
Sora heard Roxas make an aggravated sound in the back of his throat. The brunet eased the worried teenage girl off him and held his ear against the door. A girl was screaming loudly in the room as Roxas copied his movement. Kairi crept between their legs to listen as she couldn't find room next to them nor was she tall enough to stand above them.
The screaming got louder and Sora could hear a male voice saying, "It's okay. You're going to be alright. It's okay. You're going to be alright," over and over again.
The sounds were nerve wracking.
It only got worse. The girl's screaming got louder and higher in octave until Sora couldn't even hear the male speaking anymore. "She's hurt." Sora whispered, his voice cracking.
"Of course she's hurt, you idiot. How did you think she would feel?" Roxas snapped, trying to cover the fact that he's just as scared as Sora is.
"Well, I didn't except this to happen now. It's too early. And she's been feeling bad for a long time. What if something's gone wrong? What if she dies? What if the-"
Kairi broke off his nervous rant with a shove. Being on the ground, she accidentally shoved him in his private area, though that was probably a good thing because he probably wouldn't notice a hit anywhere else.
"Sora, you aren't helping." She said, tears in her eyes. Thinking about the worst is one thing, but hearing the thoughts out loud is torture.
"Sorry..."he said quietly, going back to listening against the door.
After what seemed like an eternity. The sounds stopped, but only led to something worse.
Pure silence.
The trio waited for someone to come out of the room to tell them something. Tell them everything's fine or even to tell them someone died. Just give them some answer.
Shuffling could be heard from inside the dreaded room. Sora shifted his weight from one foot to the other.
A loud crack was heard, making all three teens jump and Kairi gave a tiny, whimper-like sound. Sora and Kairi gave each other a look, sharing the same scared look while Roxas thumped his head on the door and didn't move.
More shuffling came from inside and than some low murmurs. Sora tried his best to decipher what they were saying to no avail.
Suddenly, crying could be heard. After all the tension, Sora imagined it to be Riku, though his voice isn't that high, or Namine in pain.
The teen looked at the other two for assistance. "Do you think that's..."
Kairi shrugged her shoulders weakly, looking as confused as Sora. Roxas didn't even bother to answer. He kept glaring at the door as though it would open at his furious, mental commands.
"Will someone open the damn door already?" Sora heard Roxas mutter under his breath.
Finally, the door opened causing all three unexpecting teens to tumble into the bright room. The nurse who opened the door, a pretty young girl named Rinoa, jumped back and held her hand to her mouth in surprise.
"She's been working for nine hours straight and you three try to give her a heart attack. And to think I'm supposed to be the dark, mean one of the group."
Sora turned to see his best friend in a chair beside Namine, smirking down at him.
Roxas had already got off the floor and ran to the bed to talk to Namine who was holding a blue bundle.
Kairi gave a laugh in relief as she spotted the bundle at the same time as Sora. She walked to the bed, following Roxas' path at a much calmer rate.
"How can you joke at a time like this 'Ku?" Sora asked, knocking his friends upside the head.
"A better question would be "How could I resist?""
Sora fake glared and almost said something back when he saw what Roxas was doing.
He was holding a baby. Something he said he'd never would do when Namine was pregnant for eight months. Also on that list was changing its diaper and babysitting it before it learned to eat only during the day.
Of course, Roxas ruined the otherwise Kodak moment by saying, "What the hell is wrong with it?"
Riku rolled his eyes. "He was in a wet, sticky womb for eight months and came out before he had a chance to completely grow enough to get out, Ro. What did you think he would look like?"
"Wait so it's a he!" Kairi exclaimed.
"Well I hope so. I'll be kind of awkward going to school with a dick when your actually a-"
Namine weakly slapped Riku's arm. "Riku, this is a special moment."
"Hey, Ro started it."
"Anyway, what are you going to name him?" Kairi asked, "I was thinking that Tom is a cute name and he can try to convince everyone that his name is Thomas if he turns out to be the type that wants to be all formal. Or maybe Alex. There's also-"
"Nisemono."
"What." The three newcomers looked at Namine.
"We already decided months ago what to name him if he's a boy. He's Nisemono."
Sora scrunched up his nose. "What kind of name is that?"
"Sora, don't you ever listen?" Riku asked wearily, used to this type of stupid questions, "Nisemono was the name of the replica Vexen made four years ago."
"I thought he was called Repliku."
"Not in the Japanese version of the game."
"What?"
"Nothing, don't worry about it."
"So," Kairi interrupted, "what was going on earlier."
"Oh yeah! That took a long time."
"We weren't sure if Nise was alive. It took him awhile to wake up. The doctor said he's fine now but there're going to take him away in a few minutes and have a full check-up. They have to make sure all his bodily functions are where they should be. " Riku answered, taking Nisemono from Kairi, who earlier stole him from Roxas. Riku lifted his son towards Sora in a silent question.
Sora took the baby in a weak hold, unsure of how to hold a baby. Nisemono had a little, light blond hair, despite who he's named after and his eyes were shut tight.
Sora's mind wandered as he held his godson. "Hey guys, aren't we forgetting something?"
--
"I can't believe you forgot me!"
Roxas shrugged his shoulders in a non-caring movement. "Sorry," the younger teen said, not really meaning it.
Axel glared at him. "I was the one who bought all the baby shower gifts and offered to baby-sit the brat while you just sat around and you forgot to tell me that Namine was giving birth!"
"Yes."
"We are never having children."
"Axel, we're both guys. Unless we adopt, which is near impossible seeing as there are no orphans on this island and any that come will immediately be taken by old grannies, we're not going to have any children even if you wanted to."
"Roxas, Roxas." Axel tutted, "Haven't you ever read fanfiction?"
Roxas stared at the red-head, "No, and if you do read it than I sure don't want to know what it even is."

I love the ending to this. I felt iffy about the beginning but I had fun writing the ending. See, typing furiously when half asleep does improve your writing.
Also, if anyone has any ideas for more one-shots please tell me. I have some ideas but they aren't flowing the way I want them to.
