Begins Chapter 9


Movie Theater….

"Yamato, you're so hot," Brittany said putting her hand on his cheek.

Yamato sighed why did he get himself into this mess he thought, "You're pretty too, Brittany," he said.

Brittany let her hands travel on his chest with Yamato starting to feel uneasy then without warning, Brittany laid a huge kiss on him. Yamato was unresponsive at first but suddenly began to kiss her back.

Mimi dropped her magazine that was in her hands and it fell onto the floor, 'how could he!' she thought tears running down her cheeks Mimi then rushed out of the theater in a hurry.

In Yamato's mind, he had forgotten how it was like to kiss Mimi and was imaging that it was her he was kissing and not Brittany.

'Yamato's such a good kisser,' Brittany thought to herself.

Yamato pulled away realizing it wasn't Mimi, he looked shock at her, "Listen lets just watch the movie okay?" He asked her in whispered so he wouldn't disturb other people who were actually watching the movie.

"Okay, but you promise me that, we'll have some fun later," Brittany said.

"Ah, yeah sure what ever," Yamato said then slumped back into his seat feeling ashamed of himself. How ever he was totally unaware that Mimi had seen the kiss.

Mimi was crying outside in the cold, "Why did I even do what I did?" She asked herself feeling tears rolling down her cheeks, "Now he likes her, after he slept with her, he is nothing but a bastard," Mimi said and angrily dialed on her cell phone to call her house for a limo but she saw James in the distance.

When James came by with some of his friends he saw her and told his friends that he will see them later and came over to her, "Mimi! I thought you were doing a project for school?" He asked.

"I finished it at school," she said wiping her eyes with a tissue.

"Are you okay you look like you've been crying," He said.

Mimi shook her head, "No, I'm not. Can I go home with you?" she asked.

James nodded, "Sure," he said and put his arm around her and they walked to the bus stop together.

"James thanks for being there for me," She said she reached up and kissed him, passionately. James was surprised but he started to kiss her back.

"Taichi? What are you going to stay to Mom and Dad? 'Guess what you're going to grandparents all ready. Sora's pregnant,'

"Hikari said a little loud.

Taichi flipped, "SHHH! Keep your mouth shut!" he exclaimed and looked at the door nervously.

"Don't worry they can't hear anything," She said.

"All those posters make this room sound proof," She said.

Taichi glared at her, "No, I'm not going to say that. I'll start off by saying, Mom Sora and I are getting married," He explained.

Hikari gave him an odd stare, "You're forgetting about the baby," She said.

"I know that, when they ask 'what for?' we'll tell them," he said.

Hikari crinkled her nose "Either way you are so grounded or on the other hand, they might kill you. Could I have your stereo just in case that they?" She asked.

"NO, I'm trying to be serious here Hikari," Taichi said angry with her little games.

"I'll come too," Hikari said.

"Too late all ready made the reservations," He said.

Hikari glared at him angrily, "Nice, Thanks for including your sister."

Sora sighed, 'How did it happen I wasn't supposed to get pregnant, the pill was supposed to be ninety-nine percent effective,' she gasped. 'Oh no it is my fault I missed taking it after the third time,' Sora sadly looked over at the window. 'And now I'm paying for the consequences,' She thought. Sora pulled the covers of her bed back, climbed in, and closed her eyes before slowly drifting to sleep.

James's house…
Mimi and James were in a passionate lip lock when Mimi pulled away from him slowly,"James…you're the nicest guy ever," She said kissing his neck.

James pulled away from her a little, "Mimi? What's wrong?" he asked she never acted like this before.

"Nothing, James just shut up and come here," she demanded then kissed him hard.

They kissed more, until he stopped, "Mimi…" he said he pulled away from her.

"James just..." she was cut off.

"I know something wrong," He said again.

"Stop saying that," She said then pulled at his shirt.

James took a hold of her by her wrists, "Mimi, you're not ready to do this, and I'm not either. I care about you and I'm not going to take advantage of you because I now your break up with Yamato was bad so tell me what is wrong," James said strongly.

Mimi sniffled, she broke down, "I'm sorry," She said in a whisper, "If I told you about this you'll be mad at me," She said.

"Why?" he asked.

"It has to do with Yamato," She said.

James nodded it was about time the subject had come up he knew she still had feeling for him, "What did he do?" he asked.

"He asked Brittany to go to the movies with him, and he kissed her. I saw because I lied to you about finishing the project…I went to go and spy on them," Mimi said crying.

"I know you're on the rebound Mimi and I can't be your boyfriend if you're still going to cry about how your ex betrayed you with Brittany," He said.

Mimi bit her lip, "I'm sorry if I hurt you," She said looking up at him.

"That's okay, I understand, we can just be friends," He said.

Mimi nodded, "Thank you I would like that very much and also for not taking advantage of me," She said.

James nodded, "I'll take you home okay," He said.

"Yes please," She said and he drove her to her home.

Brittany's house….

"Well here you are," Yamato said as they stopped at her house.

"Will you walk me to my door?" Brittany asked.

"Sure," Yamato said they walked to her door and stopped.

"Yamato I had a great time. I'm just grateful you fo -- I mean your not mad at me," She said.

"Well, I can't really stay angry at someone when it's my fault," He said glumly.

Brittany walked up to him, "Well I guess this is good bye for now," She said.

"Yeah," Yamato said.

Brittany kissed him full on his lips, pressing herself against his body then pulled away slowly.

"Well good night, Yamato," She said walking into her house closing the door.

Yamato was still standing there a little dazed from the kiss, "Ah yeah…tomorrow," he said he slowly turned around and walked back to his car.

Dec, 15th Friday Morning...

As soon as Sora got up, she felt sick and ran to the washroom throwing up. Sora held her hand to her forehead.

"Sora?" her mother came running into the washroom. "Honey, are you okay? You not sick are you?" her mother replied.

"No…it's ….." she couldn't finish her sentence when she threw up again.

"You never told me what went on at the doctor's office," Her mother asked.

"You'll find out tonight. Mother," She said as she cleaned her herself off and went to get ready for school.
Her mother nodded, 'This reminds me all too much of when I had first found out I was pregnant …..Oh god,' She thought,

"Sora, I want to talk to you," He mother said with urgency.

"Sorry mother but I got to get to school quickly. Oh, look there's Taichi. Bye mom," She said when kissed her on her cheek and left. Her mother was too shocked even ask Sora about it.

She watched her daughter out from the window as she got into Taichi's car, "Oh please let me be wrong," She said aloud.

School homeroom…

"Sora, I got to leave here after home room. But I'll be back," Taichi said.

"Okay, but where you going?" she asked.

He raised an eyebrow and smiled at her, "It's a surprise you'll find out tonight," Taichi said.
The bell rang he helped Sora up then Taichi walked Sora to her class they stopped near the door. "You know how to treat woman," Sora said.

"I know. Now here's your biology class," He said.

Sora grabbed his shirt. "Ah can I come with you then?" she asked.

Taichi slowly un-raveled his shirt from Sora's hands, "Sora. You're forgetting your class and that it's a surprise wait till tonight," Taichi said repeating what he said earlier and smiled.

"Oh…alright then can I at least do this," She said and kissed him.

Taichi pulled away, "To your class missy," He said and pushed her toward the door lightly Sora then reluctantly went to class.

Taichi walked pasted Yamato who seemed to be stating off in space. Taichi stopped and did a double take. "Yamato?" he questioned. He approached him waved his hand in front of Yamato's face. "Hello?" he said.

"What? " Yamato replied quickly.

"In case you haven't noticed I called you," Taichi said.

"Yeah I know that's why I'm asking you what you wanted moron," Yamato said.

"Yeah anyways, I have to go," He said then left in a hurry.

"So he interrupts my thinking for nothing," Yamato said and glared at him.

Near the end of second period…

Taichi returned to the school he was still in his car he took out a small velvet box, 'I hope tonight's going to go good,' He thought. "Or why wait tonight I'll give it to her at lunch," He said the looked at his watched. "Speaking of which, It's all most lunch time," He exclaimed place the box into his pocket and locked up his vehicle.

While Taichi began toward the school, he saw Yamato and Brittany, 'What is he doing?" Taichi thought then deciding to have a little talk with Yamato and approached the two, "Hi," Taichi said and they both turned to look at him.

"Hey Taichi," Yamato said.

"Hi," Brittany said.

Taichi smiled patted Yamato on his shoulder, "You don't mind if I speak with Yamato alone. Do you?" he asked.

"Nope, I'll wait for you inside," Brittany said she kissed Yamato who was seeming enjoying it.

"Okay first of all. What the hell are you doing?" Taichi said not believing what he just saw.

"She kissed me so what?" Yamato said now starting to feel irritated by Taichi.

"No kidding what are you doing with the girl that broke your relationship up with Mimi?" Taichi said to him almost shouting.

"Just relax. Is there a problem with you? Can't you see I'm trying to move on," Yamato said.

Taichi started at him odd. "With her that witch!" he exclaimed.

"She's not a witch Taichi and watch your mouth when you start calling my girlfriend names," He said.
At this point Taichi couldn't believe what he was hearing from him and was getting annoyed and angry with his friend,

"There has got to be another reason isn't there," Taichi said hoping he would explain more on why he was doing what he was doing.

"Taichi, Mimi gave me my ring back I think that's an indication that she wants to move on," Yamato said.

"Yamato, why are you moving on with Brittany of all people? Is it because she coming on to you or is it because you want her to be with her just for sex?" Taichi asked.

"Maybe that is part of it," He said.

Taichi closed his eyes, "Okay, let me give you this piece of advice. Don't do it, you're using her, and if she finds out you've been using her she'll do something worse, then what she has done to break you and Mimi up. Do you get what I'm trying to say Yamato?" he asked.

"Yeah, and she won't find out. So relax," Yamato said.

"Listen to me I'm your friend, and I'm serious. That girl is a wacko," He said.

Yamato ignore the last comment, "Taichi I think you've been over thinking. Don't worry about me I can handle it," He said.

Taichi shrugged his shoulders, "Fine but don't say I didn't warn you," Taichi said and walked away, to find Sora.

'Taichi overreacts too much,' Yamato thought.

"Hi what was that all about?" Brittany asked as she returning.

Yamato rolled his eyes slightly, "Nothing, he's a little bit paranoid," He said.

"Oh. Well come on let's go inside, It's a bit chilly," Brittany said shivering from the cold air.

Sora saw Taichi and immediately went over to him, "Taichi, what is it?" she asked.

Taichi looked at her, "Honestly, Yamato's lost his sanity when he and Mimi both broke up," He said.

"Why?" she asked.

"Because Now Yamato's having some fun with Brittany," Taichi said.

Sora didn't know what to say, "What do you mean some fun? He's using her?" she asked.

Taichi nodded, "I warned him if she finds out she's been used she's going to act psychotic. I warned him but he doesn't want to listen, " Taichi said then slipping his hands into his pockets and felt the box he was going to give Sora, "Come on let's go somewhere private," He said and looked around leading her away from the busy halls.

Mimi walked with James to his locker, "James, I really meant it last night. You're a really nice guy who deserves some one's that going to be committed to you. I'm sorry if I hurt your feeling in anyway," She said.

He smiled, "That's really nice thing to say Mimi."

"I really am grateful to you," She said.

"Well, so am I," he pauses to take a look at his watch, "I've got to go and meet up with some friends," He said.

Mimi nodded understandingly she watched him leave and then saw Takeru, "TAKERU!" she said to him.

Takeru who was startled jumped, "Mimi! You scared the crap out of me!" he said.

"Oh, I'm sorry really I am but I got a favor for you to do for me," She said.

Takeru looked at her oddly, "Really? I'm afraid to ask…..as long as I don't have to do anything really stupid," he said seriously.

Mimi laughed, "No, nothing like that I just need you to spy," She said.

"Spy? On who," He asked.

"Your brother of course," She said.

Takeru's face went pale 'great,' He thought, "Ah…I don't think I can do that. I mean…he's my brother and if he ever found out that I did spy on him he'll kill me, literally," Takeru said trying to get out of Mimi's plan.

"Takeru don't be silly he won't do anything like that. Now here," She said as she had went into her school bag and pulled out a few things a tape recorder, camcorder and a camera.

"No Mimi, you don't understand I can't!" Takeru said begging her as she was leaving him with all the equipment.
She just turned back to him, "Thank you Takeru! I got to go find Sora or Hikari whomever I find first," She shouted over to him and disappeared down the stairs.

"BUT….MIMI!," he said shouting at her then sighed looking at the equipment she gave him, 'Where is Hikari when I need her?' he thought.

Brittany and Yamato were making out outside in the cold, 'When are we going to get to the fun part' Yamato thought.

Brittany pulled away from him, "Hey…Yamato can we go inside I'm kind of cold and I really don't feel like kissing any more lets talk some where," She said.

Yamato sighed, "Okay where do you want to go?" he asked casually.

"Library, it's always quite in there," She said.

"Okay fine, lets go," he said and they headed toward the front entrance.

At The Library…

In a small study room in the library the two window room, with the windows being covered by blinds, and in side were Taichi and Sora where standing talking, "Okay so what is it that you wanted to show me?" she asked.

"I was originally going to give it to you tonight when we are at the restaurant with our parents and then I thought what if the whole thing just goes wrong and our parents flip and any ways I decided to give it you now and do it properly," Taichi said then got down on one knee.

He pulled out a small box from his pocket then opened it in front of her, "Sora Takenouchi will you marry me." He said.

"This feels really strange," Sora said with a little laugh.

"I know it's probably not as I imagined this day would be but at least it's a step in the right path for our baby right," He said still on his knee.

"That is true," Sora said.

"Well do I get an answer?" Taichi asked anxiously.

"Of course I will," She said and pulled him up and gave him a passionate kiss then pulled away.

"But Taichi you didn't have to get a ring," She said.

"Sure I did, it makes it official," He said then hugged her, "You're the best and I love you," He said.

"I love you too Taichi you mean the world to me," Sora said then she looked down at her watch "Oh no," she said worried.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I've got to find Mimi and tell her about the assignment," Sora said.

"Okay well let's go," Taichi said and they exited the room where they almost ran into Yamato and Brittany.

"Oh, hi Brittany, Yamato," Sora said.

Taichi didn't say anything until Sora nudged him, "Hi Yamato…Brittany," He said unwillingly.

Brittany looked at them they are his friend and she was being nice, "Hi Sora…is it?" she asked. Sora nodded.

"And Taichi how are you two?" She asked.

"We are fine and if you excuse us we got to go find someone," Sora said and they both left.

Brittany shrugged her shoulders, "What is wrong with them I was being nice," Brittany said.

"Don't worry about it they are just uptight snobs," Yamato said feeling a little alone by how cold they had acted toward him just because of his interest in Brittany. 'They have to accept the fact that I'm with Brittany,' Yamato thought as they both went into the room that Taichi and Sora had just vacated.

Yamato sat down on a chair, "Hey I'm sorry, about them if you were upset by what they did," he said.

"No it's okay. I understand I'm not their favorite person in the world," She said "Any ways, what's their story?" she asked.

"Nothing interesting," he said quickly.

"I've heard rumors about last year between you four," Brittany said.

"I'm sorry I can't answer that any questions about what happened last year, let's talk about us," He said attempting to change the subject.

"Okay sure," She replied.

Takeru looked all most everywhere for Hikari but he couldn't find her but then he saw Taichi and Sora, "Guys!" he said calling out to them.

Taichi and Sora looked up to see Takeru on the second floor waving at them.

Sora and Taichi waved to him to come down when he came down he was panting, "Have….you've…seen…Hikari?" he asked.

"No we haven't why are you looking for her?" Taichi questioned as looked at all the small bags that he was carrying on his shoulders along with his own backpack.

"I got a question. Why are you carrying all that stuff around?" Sora asked.

"I'm on a mission," He explained.

"What kind of mission?" Taichi asked suspicious.

"Um, nothing," he said quickly then was about to leave when Hikari came.

"Hikari! Finally where have you been?" Takeru asked her.

Hikari saw all the equipment he was carrying and smiled delighted, "Where did you get all this stuff. We can have so much fun with this," She said as she looked at Taichi and Sora.

"NO, Hikari don't even think about it. Besides it's almost time for class so we got to go," Taichi said Sora had agreed with him and they were off to their class.

"Chickens," Hikari said muttering to herself.

"Hikari that is not why I have this equipment with me Mimi wants me to spy on Yamato and so I was looking for you because I wanted your help," He said.

"Oh of course I want to help! I love spying. Even thought your not supposed to but. What ever come on!" Hikari said as she dragged him. "Okay, Just don't drag me though!" he cried.

5:00 pm Evening at the Takenouchi's...

"Sora, this dinner party thing with the Yagami's what is it about?" he mother asked as she put some earring on and put some finishing touches on her hair.

"It's something but I'll tell you later after dinner," Sora replied. She put some shoes on.

Yagami's...

"Hikari don't stay up late tonight," Her mother said.

"Mom its Friday there is no school tomorrow," She said.

"Well don't over tire your self," She said.

Hikari nodded Taichi was already was waiting in the car outside with his dad.

"Bye Mom," Hikari said.

"Bye honey and behave," Anna said as she opened the door.

"I will," She said smiling.

A few moments after the Yagami's left for the restaurant, Takeru came out of the bushes and knocked on the door, "Takeru there you are what took you so long?" Hikari said as she put on her coat.

"We got a problem I don't know where Yamato is taking her," Takeru said brushing the leaves out of his hair and off his clothing.

"Well why don't you call and find out," Hikari asked him.

"Okay hold on," Takeru said pulling out his cell phone and dialed his house number hoping his brother hadn't left yet.

"Hello," Yamato answered the phone.

"Yamato, how's it going?" Takeru said trying to be casual.

Yamato frowned, "I'm getting ready to go out, why?" he asked.

"With Brittany I am presuming… where to?" Takeru asked.

"The Clearing Towers why?" Yamato asked.

"Oh cool, good restaurant well have fun okay? I've got to go bye," Takeru said and pressed the end button on his cell quickly before his brother could question him any further.

"Awesome this couldn't be any better," Hikari said excitedly.

"Why do you say that?" Takeru questioned a little confused.

"Because that is where Taichi, my mom and dad, and Sora and her mom are at the moment," Hikari said with that mischievous smile.

Takeru frowned, "Hikari…" he said trailing off and shaking his head.

Clearing Towers Restaurant
Yamato and Brittany

"So what are you going to order?" Brittany asked him.

"I don't know, if something sounds good I'll take it," He said.

"Okay," she said and they both browsed through the menus.

Just a couple tables away was Takeru and Hikari with the equipment Mimi had given them, "do you think this is close enough?" Takeru questioned her in a whisper.

"I think so, just let me place the recorder more closer so we can get their voices on tape," Hikari said as she got up and slowly, while watching them, working her way so she was directly behind the booth they where sitting at and placed the recorded in the plants that lined the top of the booths.

8:00pm the private dinning room… at the Clearing Towers

Everyone was finishing up there dinner while chatting, Sora sat there smiling nervously, Taichi held her hand underneath the table trying to get her to relax.

"So, what is this big elaborate dinner about?" Taichi's dad asked suddenly.

Catching both Taichi and Sora off guard, "Um, would you believe me if I said it was for fun?" Taichi said.

"Not really everything has their reasons," His dad said to him.

"Oh okay," Taichi said and slyly slid back into his sit.

"Taichi there going to want to know sooner or later," Sora said starting to fell a little uncomfortable after feeling the six eyes all on her.

'Okay your okay Taichi go,' Taichi said to himself then stood up at the table and cleared his throat, "The real reason why we have gathered everyone here is to tell you that we have decided to get married," Taichi said slowly he watched there expressions.

"Excuse me?" Kevin said with disbelief.

"Haven't you thought this through yet you're only seventeen years old," Anna said quickly.

"I'm sorry, but there another reason isn't their?" Karen said she knew there was something else or else the two wouldn't have thought of marriage yet.

'My mom knows….' Sora thought panicking.

"What do you mean other reason?" Kevin asked her.

"I don't know but they both seem to have it figured out which I have had a bad feeling about," Karen said explaining to Kevin.

Taichi and Sora paled, 'Mrs. Takenouchi knows,' He thought feeling sick He looked at Sora asking her with his eye if she told her, she shook her head no.

"My mom is right there is another reason and that other reason is that I'm ….." Sora stopped she couldn't get the word out.

"She's p--," he stopped but he couldn't say it either.

Karen looked paled at the two kids who were in front of her, "Pregnant," Karen said suddenly.

Taichi and Sora both looked at her in shock then they both looked down at their hands.

"What! Is this true!" Kevin said shocked his wife on the other hand was too shocked to speak.

"I'm so sorry, it's my fault," Sora said to Kevin then broke down crying Taichi hugged her.

"Dad!" Taichi said.

"Don't dad me Taichi! Because right now I'm not very happy with you," Kevin said.

Taichi looked at his mother who was in shock still of the news then Karen spoke, "I only thought the throwing up was a bug that you had Sora, all until I realized something today. It all happened to me when I was pregnant with you, the exact same symptoms," she explained teary eyed.

"Mom I wasn't meaning to get pregnant. I swear to you," Sora said pleading with her mom.

"I know that, but you had to be more careful," She said.

"So what have you kids decided? What about school?" Anna asked angry at her son and his girlfriend.

"Were getting married, and I we want to have this baby, we are not getting an abortion or going to but the baby up for adoption as for the school we can take home schooling," Taichi said.

"We are going to continue this conversation at home," Kevin said he looked at his wife and then at Karen.

All three parents all got up and left the private room, "It didn't turn out well," Sora said.

"Well let's hope it turns out okay at the house," Taichi said.

"Okay remember that I love you," Taichi said to her.

"And you remember that I love you too," Sora said to him the two got up and exited the private dinning room and followed their parents out side.

Hikari laughed 'this is great footage.' She thought Hikari had temporarily forgot about Sora and Taichi but was having to much fun taking picture of Brittany and Yamato from all kinds of angles.

"There kissing, and talking and kissing and talking…." Takeru said repeating everything rather dully as he sat the table.

Then something caught the corner of his eye. He saw Hikari's Mom and Dad followed by Sora's Mom and a little later Sora and Taichi and he caught it on tape, "I don't think that went according to plan," Takeru said out loud trying to get a close up on Sora and Taichi's faces.

To Be Continued...
