Survival of Light and Hope Chapter 10: The Final Joyride
A/N: A million apologies for the long wait. It's been a series of unfortunate events in my life that has been keeping me from updating. I hope you all enjoy this chapter as this story reaches it ending soon.
"What? What is it bro?" Matt asked, curiously. "Ah...forget it. Mom and dad probably wouldn't let me anyway." "Come on, tell me!" "Ok, ok. I've always wanted to Florida in the summer for like a week...or even a few days. I don't care. It's just I hear that it's such a blast down there. You know, just us guys. Me, you, Tai, Davis, Izzy, Joe, Ken, Cody. We'd have a blast." "You know what...that's not a bad idea." "I don't know Matt...you think all of their parents would allow them to come?" "Come on, TK, remember, we saved the world! Numerous times! I think they trust us. Besides, with mature adults like myself and Tai coming to watch over you young ones, I think they'll be fine with it." "Fine, Matt. Only if you ask everyone! I don't want anyone being mad at me...even though it was my idea." TK laughed.
Only a month away from her due date, Kari could now feel the baby kicking inside. She had been feeling it for a while. TK and Kari had passed their young parenting class a week ago, and were ready to be real parents. When TK got home that day, Matt had already talked to his mother about the Florida idea. She thought they were crazy, but as a sign of showing them independence, the said she would allow them. TK thanked his mom over and over again and also for offering to take care of Kari for the five days they would be gone. Then, the phone rang.
"Hello?" TK answered it. "Hey bro, great news! I talked to the rest of the boys, they're all coming along! But Cody's mother...boy oh boy, she's a tough cookie. It was a lot of work to get her to convince Cody to come." "That's great. When are we leaving?" "Tomorrow, for 5 days. We'll be staying at the Old Key West Resort located right in Disney. I pre-rented us two Corvettes, and Miami Beach won't be that far of a drive. Prepare yourself for the best five days of your life!" Matt yelled on the phone, over excitedly. "How'd you find all the money for this, Matt?" "Well, with Tai and I make from work, we had plenty saved up. We figured we earned this vacation. I mean, we never got a vacation after saving the world, did we?!" "No, I guess not. I'll start getting my things packed." "Good idea!" Matt said, as he hung up.
Kari was with TK the next day at the airport. "Have a good time ok, TK? Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." "Are you sure Kari? Because I don't have to go." Kari smacked him on the shoulder. "Don't be silly! You're going to have a lot of fun!" They shared a farewell kiss. "See you in five days!" They boys waved, as they got on the plane.
Matt dropped his bags on the hotel room floor. The flight was a long one, but well worth their destination. For the next few days, the boys enjoyed their time at the summer paradise. MGM Studios, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom. They rode all of the best rides, and watched all of the best shows. The entire time there, however, TK couldn't stop thinking about Kari. He would call her before he went to bed, which would be the same time she would be waking up in Odiaba. When the week came to an end, Joe, Izzy and Cody decided they would stay an extra week. The three of them had found new lady-friends and decided to enjoy the Florida air for a little while longer. It took Cody's mom some convincing, but she eventually caved.
Kari, Yolie, Sora, Mimi and Kristine were all at the airport to welcome back their boyfriends. TK was relieved to see Kari again. TK told Kari how much fun they had, and Kari told TK how much the girls enjoyed their week without the boys. All they did pretty much was watch movies and paint their toenails. TK and Kari both knew that the week they just had spent would be the last week they would be able to not worry about anything. There final joyride was over. They had been preparing for their wedding day which was two weeks away. They had agreed to have an outside ceremony for their wedding to give a small sense of nature. More than half of their invitations had already been accepted. There were still more to come.
"Everything seems to be fine," the doctor told TK and Kari, as they went for Kari's weekly ultrasound. "Would you like to know weather the baby will be a boy or girl?" TK and Kari looked at one another. "...No" TK finally spoke up. "I think we'll leave it for a surprise. Kari smiled and nodded as a sign of her agreement. "That's fine. You're all set for today. Oh, before I forget, I got your invitation and I'd be happy to be at your wedding." "Thank you, doctor." Kari said. TK and Kari left the office and got into TK's car and drove home.
"TK, come here," Kari motioned to her fiancé to come to her by the couch, "you can feel the baby kick." TK bent down and put his hands on Kari's stomach. He felt the kicks, and they were hard. "Well it's a good thing he's got his mother's legs!" TK joked. Kari couldn't help but smile. "Well, I'm off to work, hon." TK said, bending down and kissing Kari on the forehead. TK looked kind of funny with the blue vest with the "Hello, my name is TK" name card.
After TK left, Kari had realized she hasn't spent a second about thinking about her life. She used to want to be a photographer. Since the baby came into the picture, she has tossed that idea out the window. Could she still raise a family and fulfill her personal dream? TK was planning to support her and the baby, even though both sets of parents had also agreed to help their kids along with this dilemma. But Kari still wanted to live her own life. How could she accomplish that with the burden of raising a child at such a young age?
