Chapter 7: Sora – When the going gets hard
.Sora's POV.
It's the end of the 2nd month and my morning sickness is gone. I'm actually bigger than a normal person is at this time, but Vexen assures me that it's only because there are three of them. Everyone helping out around the house is very nice. Roxas and Namine are throwing the baby shower for me today. Everyone will be there, even a few people I haven't met yet.
"Sora…" Riku knocked at the bedroom door before coming in, "Admiring that beautiful belly of yours again?" He asked. I giggle as he comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me until his hands are resting on my belly. Then he kisses my neck.
"Ri-ku! We have to go! They want us there at 1!" I say smiling as he kisses my cheek.
"Come on, it's your day to be fussed over, and trust me, the girls in this bunch will coo over you until you can't stand it." Riku said with a smile, I smiled in return. Then we went down the stairs and out the door to Namine's house. When we got there Riku opened the door and shouted, "Mommy's here!"
We walked into her living room and Namine hopped up and came over to us. "Sora, what would you like to eat, you have to keep those two in there healthy!" She said.
"Two?" Riku, Axel and Roxas all asked. Riku raised his eyebrow at me. I just laughed nervously, and put one hand to the back of my head.
"I may not have told everyone…" He said. Riku groaned while Roxas and Axel snickered.
"Sora, you should have told them!" Riku said.
"Told us what?" Awen asked.
"You didn't even tell my sister!" Riku exclaimed, raking his fingers through his hair.
"Told us what?" Kairi said in a frustrated tone.
"It's not twins…" I said smiling, earning horrified expressions.
"Y—You lost one? Oh Sora—" I cut Namine off.
"It's triplets!" I said happily.
"Oh my gosh! Congratulations, you guys are going to have lots of fun with three little kids running around!" Kairi said happily.
"Thanks." I said hugging Riku.
"Well, that's only more reason to get you food, you have to keep those children healthy!" Cloud said walking over to me and handing me a plate of food.
I smiled at them, that's when I noticed the new faces and blushed.
"You're one damn fertile kid!" A man with a stubble and a cigarette sticking out of his mouth said. I blushed more and hid my face in Riku's chest.
"Cid!" Namine chided.
"What! It's the truth." The man named Cid now said.
"Sorry Sora, we forgot about the introductions." Awen said, "The lady in pink is Aerith, the one with the sweat-band around her head is Yuffie, the red-haired one is Reno, the bald one is Rude, the brunette is Yuna, the blond is Rikku, and the scary looking silver-haired one is Paine." Awen introduced. I gave a small wave.
"It is not a sweat-band it is my ninja band!" Yuffie said.
"Yeah big difference there Yuffie." Reno said. Yuffie huffed crossing her arms over her chest, and jutting her bottom lip out in a pout. I was no where near the cuteness of mine. I started eating the things off of the plate.
Rude pulled the cigarette out of Cid's mouth. "Don't want the mother-to-be breathing in cancer." He said.
"So, wait do the babies have wings?" Yuffie asked. I froze, I wanted my kids to lead normal lives, no wings.
"No, not that I've seen." Vexen answered.
"Awww…" Yuffie said in disappointment, "That would have been cute!"
I sat down on one of the couches with Riku right behind me. I was tired of standing.
"Babe, eat, you need you strength, for the kids?" Riku said pushing the plate towards me again. I started eating again. It didn't last long though as the window behind me broke out and glass shattered and rained down on me.
"We want project 8021 back!" Said another project as it got in a fighting stance. I let loose a blood curdling scream as I tried to get away from the new comer. The glass cut up my arms, legs, hands, and feet as I scrambled away into the safety of Namine and Kairi's arms. Riku stood in between me and the fighter as he began to advance, Riku took him down quickly. Then more came, and more, and more, until they far out numbered the group around me.
Then all of a sudden they all began to fight. I stayed curled tight into myself, whipping my wings out I wrapped them around me like a cocoon. I looked out at one point and we were winning then the next we were losing and tear gas was coming into the room. I plugged my nose and ran to the door under the cover of the smoke. I made it out but hit into someone, they grabbed me in an iron-vice grip and started toward a helicopter in the middle of the street. I kicked and screamed.
"Riku! Help me! Please help me! Riku! Axel! Roxas! Awen!" I started sobbing. They had loaded me into the chopper and were getting ready to leave, I kept screaming. The guy tried to chloroform me, but I whipped out me wings ran for the door and jumped. I opened my wings too soon after jumping out of the chopper and the propeller thing cut off about 3 inches of the tip of my wing. The pain was so agonizing that I began to drop immediately.
"SORA!" I heard Riku yell. I was careening toward the ground at surprising speed. Then Roxas ran out the door and propelled into the air, he caught me but I knew he couldn't hold me long, I weighed more than usual. He moved to land quickly. I know I must have gotten some chloroform, because that and blood lose was causing me to lose consciousness quickly.
.Riku's POV.
As soon as Roxas' feet were on the ground I was at Sora's side. "Sora?! Sora!" I cried as he slowly fainted.
"Vexen!" Axel yelled. I tore off part of my shirt and applied it to the tip of Sora's wing. Then I added pressure to see if I could stop the bleeding. The fabric was stained in a matter of minutes. Vexen and Axel rushed over. Vexen pulled away the fabric covering the wound and examined it.
"We need to get him to my house immediately." Vexen said. I picked him up bridal style, carrying him down the street. Vexen was right behind me reminding me to be careful. As if I needed more reminders that my lover was hurt in my arms. When we got to Vexen's house Vexen quickly got a gurney to put Sora on, and yes, he does have gurneys. Then he quickly started to get things around the fix Sora's numerous wounds. He bandaged his wing quickly and started to stitch up one of the deep gashes. I watched and stroked Sora's hand forehead while I held his hand with my other hand.
"He'll be fine, Riku." Axel said again as he and Roxas stood with us. I let out a shaky breath, trying not to panic as Vexen bandaged him up and fixed the wounds.
"He's lost quite a bit of blood… We may need to do a transfusion, but, we need someone with similar blood…" Vexen said looking at Roxas.
"Sure, sure, if it helps Sora you can take some blood from me." Roxas responded.
"Thank you, Roxas, I'm so indebted to you now." I said. Roxas waved his hand at me.
"No you aren't, I just want to help my friend." Roxas told me with an honest smile. He moved over to the bed besides Sora and lay down. Vexen put the needle in making Roxas flinch. Axel was by his side in a second, soothing him as he went through his worst nightmares. I held Sora's hand tightly as I watched his chest slowly move up and down. Vexen had taken a pint of blood from Roxas. He had said it was enough. The he poke a new needle into Sora's arm and began to transfuse the blood.
"Riku, do you want to go see how the others are doing?" Axel asked. I looked torn between going with them and staying with Sora.
"Don't worry Riku, I'll be here if he wakes up." Vexen said. I nodded and got up to go see the others. Upon Reaching Namine's house we saw there was very little damage. We walked in and looked around. Everyone was alright, just a little bruised.
"How's Sora?" Awen said running up to me.
"He's doing just fine." I told her, smiling some. There was glass all over the floor and most of the food was all over as well.
"Good thing the presents were in a different room!" Namine said, coming in from the kitchen with a broom. She began sweeping up the mess. I started to clean up as well. I tried to occupy my brain with thoughts other than Sora. I accidentally picked up a big piece of glass. As I thought my grip tightened around it, then it sliced my palm. I dropped it immediately. Looking at my injured hand as blood poured from it.
"Riku? Are you okay?" Awen asked. I nodded in response. "Well, will you let me bandage your hand?" Once again I only nodded my consent. Then she pulled my down the hall to the bathroom. She pushed me down on the toilet seat then went to the closet to get a rag. After she had cleaned the cut she started to bandage it.
"What if Sora wakes up and I'm not there?" I asked, mostly deep in thought. Awen looked at me curiously before answering.
"I'm sure he'll be alright, I don't think he'll be too bad." Awen answered. Then she put a piece of medical tape on the gauze. "You're good to go." She said. I nodded in appreciation, then I got up and began walking to Vexen's house. When I got there Sora was up talking to Vexen.
"Sora!" I exclaimed, making both of them look my way in surprise. "I was so worried!" I said going over to him and hugging him, making sure to be careful of his wing.
"Riku, I'm fine! I actually want to go back to the party, but Vexen said no." He pouted. I laughed at him, then kissed him again.
"Maybe we'll bring the party to you." I smiled. His face lit up in excitement.
"You mean it?" He asked.
"Of course." I replied, then I called Axel and Roxas and told them to get the party over to Vexen's house to continue the baby shower. They agreed and no less then 10 minutes later they were bringing in the presents and food and setting them on tables and any space that was open. We all watched as Sora opened the presents. He smiled and gave out 'thank you's to everyone. Then it started to get dark, and everyone decided it was time to go home. I walked over to Awen.
"I'm going to stay here tonight, so have the people who are staying in town sleep at our house okay?" I questioned. She answered with a 'yes' and left to go talk to the other and go home. Vexen moved Sora into a bedroom so that I could stay by him all night. Sora was out pretty quickly and I thought it best to watch him for a little while. His slow breaths were eventually my lullaby and I too slipped into my dreamland.
