Chapter 4: Disappointment

It was morning at the Tachikawa's apartment and Mason wanted to see what happen last night.

"Hey Malcolm" Mason said as he entered his room and saw that he was in his bed. "Malcolm are you okay?"

"No, leave me alone." Malcolm said.

"What happened last night? Did you find your answer?" Mason asked.

"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!" Malcolm shouted and that got to Mason and Malcolm realized what he said. "I'm sorry I'm just upset on what I found out."

"What is it?" Mason asked.

"I'll tell you, but not tell you how because you're too young for that." Malcolm said.

"What do you mean how and what did you found out?" Mason asked

"Tai Kamiya is my real father." Malcolm answered and that really surprised Mason.

"How is he your father?" Mason asked.

"I told you, you are too young to know." Malcolm said. "Any way I'm upset mom kept that a secret from me, I was created by accident. Don't let that get to you I know I'm the only one of the group that happened by accident."

"Does that mean I'm not really your brother?" Mason asked.

"I don't know and after that I don't know if I can trust mom again." Malcolm said.

"He hates me, my own son hates me." Mimi said.

"It's okay Mimi." Palmon said.

"My son hates me, how can it be okay?" Mimi said.

"He doesn't hate you he's just disappointed." Yolei said while giving milk to her baby Sam.

"I can't believe this." Mimi said.

"I say you're overreacting." Hawkmon said with him holding Sam's partner Leafmon.

"I should have told him sooner." Mimi said.

"It wouldn't make a difference." Palmon said.

"I wish there was a way to fix this." Mimi said.

"Don't worry it will be okay." Mimi said.

The Park

Mason and Malcolm were walking through the park with Tanemon and Betamon discussing about Tai being Malcom's father.

"Should we tell the others?" Mason said.

"Your friends no, but I think the other parents already know." Malcolm said.

"Hey Mason look its Natalie and Toby." Tanemon said. Natalie was 7 and her little brother Toby was 5. They were also the kids of Sora and Matt.

"Natalie, Toby over here." Mason called out.

"Mason hey there." Natalie said.

"Malcolm, Mason good to see you." Matt said as he and Sora with their digimon were watching their kids while they were playing with their partners Yokomon, Natalie's partner, and Tsudomon, Toby's partner.

"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Ishida." Malcolm said. "Mason go play with your friends will you?"

"Okay" Mason said and he went to play with Natalie and Toby.

"Mr. Ishida you're best friends with Tai right?" Malcolm asked.

"Yeah" Matt said.

"and Mrs. Ishida you're best friends with my mom?" Malcolm asked turning to Sora.

"Yes I am. Why do you ask?" Sora said.

"I found out that Mr. Kamiya is my real father did you know?" Malcolm said.

"Oh you found out have you." Matt said.

"You knew as well?" Malcolm asked.

"All 12 of us did." Sora answered. "We didn't know after you were born until Sora told us what happened with her and Tai."

"She didn't want any of us tell you." Matt said.

"Let me guess till I was ready." Malcolm said.

"How are you taking it?" Biyomon asked.

"The truth must hurt." Gabumon said.

"You have no idea." Malcolm said. "Now that I know the truth I don't think I can believe my own mother anymore."

"Malcolm your mom just messed up, she still loves you." Sora said.

"I wonder if that's true." Malcolm said.

"Malcolm you're being silly." Matt said.

"Whatever, Mason I think it's time to go." Malcolm said and they were heading home.

"Poor Malcolm; I hope he and Mimi works things out." Sora said.

"I'm sure they will." Matt said.

The Tachikawa's Apartment

Mason and Malcolm have just got home and Mimi was making dinner.

"You too got home just in time. Dinner is just about ready." Mimi said.

"What are we having?" Mason asked

"Your favorite, spaghetti." Mimi answered.

"Is that a lie and we're really having spinach?" Malcolm said.

"Malcolm…" "Save it will you." Malcolm said that interrupted her.

"That is no way to talk to your mom." Palmon said.

"Let me know when dinner is done because I'll be eating in my room." Malcolm said as he went to his room.

"Mom everything will be okay right?" Mason asked.

"I really don't know honey." Mimi said upset then the phone began to ring. "Hello" Mimi said as she picked up the phone.

"Mimi its Tai." Tai said on the other side of the phone.

"Tai I'm not in the mood to talk." Mimi said.

"Matt told me Malcolm found the truth." Tai said.

"How did Matt find out about that?" Mimi asked.

"They and Sora talked in the park." Tai answered. "I'm sorry Mimi I feel like this is my fault."

"It's not I was the one that didn't tell him." Mimi said

"Yeah, but he's actually my son so I have as much to blame." Tai said. "Why I don't talk to him?"

"I don't think it would help he's really upset." Mimi said.

"Well why I don't come over and we can talk what to do?" Tai asked.

"I guess that would help." Mimi said.

"I'll come over around 5 tomorrow." Tai said.

"Okay see you tomorrow." Mimi said.

"Bye" Tai said.

"Bye" Mimi said as she hanged up the phone. 'I really hope whatever we decide it will help.' She thought. Inside Malcolm's room he was in deep thought.

'Am I really being silly?' He thought as he was thinking back to his talk with Matt and Sora and started to think how he was acting.
