Begins Chapter 10
Yagami's...
While their parents were conversing of the right way to handle the current situation Taichi and Sora talked.
"What do you think there talking about?" Sora asked trying to hear what they were saying in the kitchen.
"I don't know if it's taking them this long too decided over something. Then I take that as a bad sign," Taichi said looking at his living room door and sighed.
"I think there deciding some kind of punishment," Sora said to him.
"No….never mind you are probably right about that," Taichi said wearily.
"Hikari!" he whispered. "Hikari!" he whispered again. Takeru scanned the restaurant until he found her and pulled her back to there table.
"What is it I was just getting some good pictures," she exclaimed angrily at him.
"I think that's enough evidence all ready Hikari," Takeru said.
"Mimi's waiting for us at her house so come on," He said.
"Okay fine you win, mister, I'm too scared to be caught by my brother," She said.
Takeru rolled his eyes, "I got something on your brother," Takeru said teasing her.
Hikari looked at him excited she jumped, "What is it?" she asked.
"You'll find out when we go to Mimi's," he said with an evil smile.
"Okay let's go then she said," Hikari said and ushered him out of the restaurant.
"Where are those two?" Mimi questioned, walking a back and fourth in her bedroom.
"Dessert next?" Yamato asked.
Brittany shrugged her shoulders, "How about we go to my place?" she asked him.
Yamato looked at her, and smiled, "Okay sure. Let's," He said standing up and paid the meal. Then they both left for Brittany's house.
"Taichi, Sora we've decided that it's fine. You two can get married and the baby will be happy with both parents around," Anna said looking at the two teens who were shocked to hear them saying this.
"And we decided to let you two live together starting this weekend, we will help you move and everything," Anna said finishing.
They stared at their parents in disbelief, "Your letting us live together?" They asked astonished.
"In the guest house," Kevin said.
"Um, whoa, is there a catch somewhere?" Taichi asked carefully.
"Yeah and you have to get a job and pay rent for the house, your food and clothing and of course baby supplies," Karen said.
Sora and Taichi faces dropped, "Okay so when do we move into the guest house?" Taichi asked.
"Tomorrow so start your packing," his father said to him and Sora.
Taichi gave Sora a kiss, "I'll see you tomorrow," he whispered in her ear.
"Yeah, bye honey." She whispered back.
"Okay now that that's settled Sora, lets go home and start packing," Her mother said as they headed to the door.
"Well see you tomorrow Anna, Kevin." Karen said waving at them.
"Bye, Sora, Karen," They both said waving.
Brittany patted a spot next to her on her bed and Yamato sat down next to her, "So wanna start now?" She asked.
Yamato kissed her she fell back lying on the bed, Yamato got on top of her. Brittany began to un-fastening the buttons on his shirt and Yamato took it off himself letting it fall on the ground he began to work on her shirt when suddenly images were hitting him hard.
'Mimi and him kissing on her bed the last night they were together.' … 'Giving her the ring.' … 'Mimi walking to him…' …. The feeling of her lips on his was burning his mind.
Then feeling Brittany's lips on his neck…he felt so guilty, so dirty, as if he was betraying Mimi. Startled Yamato pulled away quickly and looked at Brittany in shock.
"Yamato what are you doing? Keep on going," She said looking up at him.
He shook his head, "I can't," he said.
Brittany stared at him, "What do you mean? You can't?" she asked.
"I'm sorry, I can't explain it. I just can't," he said getting off her, he bent down to pick up his shirt off the floor and putting it back on him he redid the buttons of his shirt up. He hurried to the bedroom door but Brittany, with her shirt undone, stopped him.
"Yamato? What is wrong? Tell me!" she shouted pleadingly.
"I can't. Let me go. Now!" he replied angrily.
Brittany moved out of his way and watched him walk to the front door opening it and closing it behind him.
"What did I do?" Brittany said aloud.
Mimi, Hikari, and Takeru were watching the video tape now and were now at the end when they saw Taichi and Sora walking out of the private dining room looking sad.
"Is that the part that you were talking about Takeru," Hikari asked.
"Yeah," He said.
"That was all you got?" Mimi asked.
"Yeah sorry Mimi," Takeru said.
"It's okay," she said quietly.
"Mimi I'm sure my brother is a little bit preoccupied at the moment but I don't believe that he is in love with Brittany," Takeru said to her trying to comfort her.
"Thank you for being nice," Mimi said, "You guys can go home."
"Take care, Mimi," Hikari said.
"I will thanks, for doing what I asked you too," she said smiling at them and the two preteens left her room and out the front door.
Yamato lay on his bed thinking, 'I'm so confused,' He thought. He eyes resting on a picture on his dresser. He then reached over, grabbed the phone from it cradle, and dialed Mimi's phone number.
"Hello, Mimi speaking," She said into the phone.
Yamato didn't stay anything thing he couldn't speak, "Hello?" Mimi said once again then Yamato pressed the end button on the phone and put it back to where it was.
'Taichi was right,' He thought, "I can't go on like this anymore I don't want her. I'll break it off with her tomorrow," Yamato said. He didn't want to lead her on anymore. When in his heart was telling him you love Mimi not Brittany.
His whole world was turned around. He was trying to get something from Brittany, which wasn't love it was he being selfish.
Saturday Dec 16th Noon...
Yamato waited for Taichi to pick up the phone he taped his fingers lightly on the coffee table, "Come on Taichi…I know your home," He said out loud his dad was coming home today and Yamato promised to pick him up at the airport shortly.
"Hello….Sora speaking," She said into the receiver.
"Sora? What are you doing there?" he asked.
Sora just sighed, "Long story, you want to talk to Taichi?" she asked.
"Yeah…where is he?" He asked carefully.
"He is hauling a mattress to the guest house," She said.
Yamato was confused, he could hear a lot of commotion going on in the back ground, "Okay, what exactly is going on? I mean….it's sounds like a party is going on," He said.
"Oh, no. real reason. Don't tell any body. But our parent thought it was a good Idea we live together, just me and Taichi and our baby feed ourselves buy our own food, get jobs, and pay the rent to stay at the guest house," Sora said.
Yamato was surprised, "What is that supposed to be? Punishment?" he asked, not really believing it.
"No….hey here's your brother what to talk to him?" she asked Yamato.
"No that okay just say Hi and tell Taichi to call me back," Yamato said.
"Okay well, see you later, bye Yamato," Sora said then closed the phone.
As he hung the phone up and looked, though the window and he sighed.
Sora and Hikari were sitting in the Yagami's living room floor. Sorting threw some of Sora's things she brought from home. The two mothers were talking. While Taichi, Takeru and Kevin were moving some new furniture into the guesthouse.
"Okay, so this, that and…those things?" Hikari said as she pointed to the weird looking glass vases Sora had brought.
"Yeah, aren't they pretty," Sora asked.
"Ah, yeah I guess," Hikari said trying not to laugh.
"Okay, so there not that pretty but flowers look good in them," Sora said gigging.
"Hey this is kind of weird," Hikari said whispering to her.
"I know but, after everything is over and done with it will be better. We can get used to it," Sora said to her.
"Right I guess," Hikari said.
"Sora, don't you think about when the time comes to give birth, it's going to hurt a lot," Hikari said Sora made a face.
"Don't talk about it right now because, I have to get thought the whole nine months still," Sora said.
Hikari nodded, "Fair enough."
"But you'll be there with me right?" Sora asked.
Hikari bit her lip. "I don't know. Taichi's going to be there with you don't you want him there?" Hikari asked.
"Yeah, just in case he faints," Sora said and two started to laugh.
"What are you laughing about you two?" Sora's mom asked.
They shrugged there shoulders and were still laughing.
"Is this going to work?" Karen asked Anna they returned to there normal conversation.
"I hope it does. It's there own good. They created this and there going to stick threw it Karen. Don't worry," She said looking over at two girls.
"Well, I think everyone is getting along well," Karen said looking at girls then she looked over to the door leading out to the guesthouse.
"I hope the boys are okay, it's pretty cold," Anna said as she tried to see them through the window.
Next was a dresser drawer that was supposed to go to Sora and Taichi's room, Taichi and Takeru carried it in through the front door, "Okay set it down there," Kevin said.
"Okay there," Taichi said.
Mimi sighed Sora's not home, Deanna isn't home and neither is James, 'That's not fair,' She thought lazily.
"Mimi want to come shopping with me?" her mother asked from the bottom of the stairs.
"Oh! Yeah mom, wait for me to get changed," She said excited.
Mimi came down stairs all changed ready to go to the mall for shopping with her mother.
Everyone was in the guesthouse looking around after finally finished to clean up and reorganize the guesthouse.
"This really turned out great," Anna said looking around, "I thought it would be really old and disgusting in here."
"Me too honey but now its all cleaned up," Kevin said.
"Okay, Taichi, Sora. Your sleeping arrangements are you two sleep in different beds and the other room is going to be the nursery right," Anna said.
Taichi and Sora walked into there new bedroom, "Yeah that is really nice mom," Taichi said with a fake smile.
"Yeah, really nice," Sora said agreeing with Taichi.
"Okay so that means no Taichi in the house? right?" Hikari asked her mother.
"Well you'll still see him and Sora when they come over for breakfast and Dinner but other then that they will live here," She said.
Hikari lowered her eyes Takeru put his arm around her to comfort her.
Sora gasped, "Taichi, Yamato called at lunch time he wanted to talk to you," She said.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner? He's going to freak out at me for not calling him," Taichi said already hearing Yamato's voice in his head shouting at him for not calling.
"Honey, just tell him I forgot to tell you," She said.
Taichi was about to walk out of the bedroom when he stopped, "Doesn't the house have telephone line?" he asked.
"Yeah, here's a phone right here," Taichi's dad picked up the receiver showing them.
Taichi took it from him and was about to dial Yamato number when he looked at everyone who was starting at him.
"Can everyone get out of my house!" Taichi said then smiled amused.
Everyone turned around and filed out of the house Sora too was going to go until Taichi called her to stay and Taichi proceeded to dial Yamato's phone number.
"Hello Ishida household," Yamato said into the receiver.
"Yamato I just got your message," Taichi said.
"It's about time," He said.
"Sora, kind of forgot," He said.
"That okay, any ways you were right," Yamato said thinking back to what almost happened last night.
"Right about what?" he asked.
"Brittany, Taichi," he said annoyed.
"Oh, right that. So what happened?" he asked.
Sora was sitting on the bed listening, curiously.
"Well, we went to her house and you know started to undress and then Mimi starts coming to mind, I swear I felt like I was betraying her," Yamato said honestly.
"Really, didn't I tell you?" Taichi said.
"Anyways, I stopped myself so I told her I can't do it and I left," He said.
Taichi looked at Sora then paid his attention to Yamato, "I won't know what do. I never exactly stopped myself from…." He was cut off by Yamato.
"To much information Taichi, keep it to yourself," Yamato said.
"Sorry anyways what are you going to do?" he asked Yamato.
"I'm breaking up with her," He said.
Taichi glanced worriedly at Sora, "Okay but prepare yourself. That's the only good advice I have unless you want to talk to Sora," Taichi said to him.
"No that's okay. But wish me luck," He asked.
"Good luck man," Taichi said.
"I going to break it off with her tomorrow though," Yamato said.
"Yamato, tomorrows to long to wait do it tonight," Taichi said.
"No man I got to think about this I have to put all together so it doesn't sound bad," Yamato replied.
Taichi sighed, "All right then, suits yourself. Bye," Taichi said.
"Bye" Yamato hung the phone up.
"He's going to break up with Brittany," Taichi said.
"Oh, when tonight?" she asked.
"No tomorrow, well that's what he says but I don't know," Taichi said a little weary that he refused to tell her tonight.
Sunday December 17th Early afternoon...
Yamato sighed, 'Yamato just say what you practiced last night, and everything should go smoothly,' He told himself picking up the phone and dialed Brittany's house.
"Hello, Coners estate," said a small female voice.
"Is Brittany there?" Yamato asked.
"This is her," She said.
Yamato smiled, "Hi, um could you meet me at my house in about an hour?" he asked.
"Yeah, sure, what is it about?" she asked.
"You'll find out when you get here," Yamato said then hung up.
"That's odd what would he want to meet me….." she trailed off realized what he could been suggesting. 'Notty boy Yamato,' she thought.
Sora got up slowly from her bed then felt sick as soon as she did so. Then getting up she ran to the washroom, which woke Taichi up.
"Sora?" he asked slowly getting out of his bed, he could hear her throwing up and got scared that she was really sick went he had came to the washroom, "Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah….don't worry it's just morning sickness, Taichi," Sora said after she had finished she wiped her mouth and then washed her face. Holding her stomach, she went into the living area of the guesthouse, the kitchen and living room were fused together, and there was a knock at the door.
Taichi slowly still in shirt and boxers went to get the door "Mom?" he questioned. "Hi, Mrs. Yagami," Sora said from the couch.
"Hi kids, I brought you some crackers Sora, these help you from not feeling really sick in the morning," She said handing her a box.
"Your mother told me about your morning sickness so I went to the store and I bought some boxes. Hikari is bringing the rest but I don't know how long it takes her," She said aloud.
"Here I am mom," She said bringing along six boxes of crackers.
Taichi frowned, "I thought you said we have to buy our own food?" he asked.
"Yeah but I'll help you guys get started," She said with smile.
Hour later...
Yamato paced in his living room as he waited for Brittany.
Yamato jumped to the door, as the doorbell rung, and opened to see a smiling Brittany, 'what is she smiling about," He asked himself.
"Hi Yamato, I didn't know you were so eager," She said.
Yamato shook his head confused, "I'm sorry what are you talking about?" he asked.
Brittany moved closer, to him incanting her intentions, "Brittany, not that," He said pushed her away from him.
"Okay then what is this about?" she asked annoyed.
Yamato closed his eyes, 'okay you just have to say it nicely, and everything will go smoothly,' He thought to himself. "Um, well. I really think your pretty and everything Brittany but, I can't see you any more," He said.
Brittany looked at him shocked, "What do you mean? You're dumping me after 2 dates?" she asked.
"Well yeah in a way. I can't see you because it isn't working out," He replied.
'Where is this coming from…unless that stupid bitch did something or said something to him... Time for the original plan even if it's impossible,' She thought then sniffed.
'She crying now….uh… god,' Yamato thought. "Brittany I'm sorry," He said.
"Yamato, do you remember that night…the night you don't remember that we made love…." She sniffled.
Yamato rolled his eyes he only really remembered half of it, "Yeah, the night that I don't remember what happened," He said starting to turn bitter.
"It turns out…I'm pregnant." She still had her back to him.
"What?" Yamato asked.
"Yamato I'm going to have your child," She said and turned to face him.
"But…but…I…I don't remember that night how am I supposed to know your telling the truth?" he asked.
"Yamato, I took a test, a blood test and my doctor told me," She said.
"Are you sure?" he asked again.
"I am Yamato why can't you listen to me!" she cried and ran out of the apartment.
Yamato stood there dumfounded and really pissed off he couldn't believe this was happening now he picked his phone can called Taichi's house.
"Hello Yagami's" Taichi dad said into the phone.
"Is Taichi there?" Yamato asked.
"Nope Sorry, he's moved into the guest house I'll give you the phone number though," Kevin said.
"Yeah hold on…okay what is it?" Yamato asked.
"555-8734," Kevin said as Yamato wrote down the number and hung up the phone and dialed Taichi's new phone number.
"Hello Taichi Yagami," Taichi said into the phone sounding rather bored.
"Taichi, everything went absolutely wrong! She claiming she's pregnant now," Yamato said panicking.
"What?" Taichi asked.
"You heard me she's claming she's pregnant. I mean I told her the whole I'm sorry stuff and everything then she starts crying and pours on about how she's pregnant," He said getting really angry so much so Taichi held the phone away from his ear.
"Ah, Yamato settled down," Taichi said.
"How can I when I'm screwed over. I don't even know what I was thinking when I asked her out!" Yamato said.
"Okay just breath and relax," Taichi said to him.
Yamato ran his fingers through his hair, "Taichi, you don't understand….she's freaking scaring me I just want things the way they were before," He said.
"Okay, Yamato listen to me. The one way to get rid of her is to beat her at her own game," Taichi said.
"Game?" Yamato questioned.
"Yeah, you got to find out if she lying or if this whole mess is real. Now, go to Mimi and beg her to help you…." Taichi was cut off.
"Taichi! I can't Mimi's probably doesn't want to see me ever again. How can I get through to her if she won't talk to me?" Yamato said.
"Don't worry I'll get Sora to look after Mimi, but as I was saying we got to play Brittany's game. If you can't remember sleeping with her then you obviously hadn't. There isn't many guys that don't remember something like that. So we got to prove that it was a scam," Taichi said he looked out the window.
"But, how Taichi?" Yamato asked annoyed.
"I will have to think about that, first lets get Mimi to cooperate with us," Taichi said he looked at Sora who had just walked into the living room.
"Okay do it but hurry because I want to get rid of her," Yamato said then closed the phone.
"What about me?" Sora asked.
"Yamato broke up with Brittany and now she's claming that she's pregnant," Taichi said.
Sora looked at him, "And where do I come in?" She said looking directly at him.
"You need to convince Mimi to start talking to him again," He said.
"Okay I'll see what I can do. However, she is going to come here so….make yourself useful Taichi," She said.
"Okay boss," He said and walked to the main house. Sora picked up the phone and called Mimi house.
"Hello Mimi speaking."
"Mimi it's Sora."
"Oh Sora I was trying to get a hold of you yesterday but you weren't home so why weren't you home?" she asked.
"I moved in with Taichi. Apparently it's punishment of the pregnancy and married proposal," Sora said.
Mimi gasped, "Sora! You never told me how come no one ever tells me about things like this!" she cried into the receiver.
"Sorry, come on over let's talk in person," Sora said.
"Okay I'll be there in flash," Mimi said and grabbed her purse and coat and left in a hurry.
'I'm so confused and frustrated,' Yamato he thought. Then laid down on the sofa, 'what was I thinking? Taichi was right about her and he warned me and now this…' he looked over to the stereo getting the remote turned it on.
Mimi walked past the main house and to the guesthouse where she knocked on the door, Sora opened it and they hugged then Sora ushered her in.
"Oh, wow so this is your own place?" she asked looking around.
"You need a little bit of pink in here though," She told her.
"Ah, I don't think that would go good with Taichi," She said.
Mimi shrugged, "So what's this about the engagement?" she asked.
"Well, Taichi and I decided why not get married so then this baby has a whole family and he was thinking the same thing pretty much," She said then felt dizzy and took a seat on the couch, "Uh Mimi can you pass me the crackers near you," Sora asked.
"Sure," Mimi said handing them to her and sat down on the opposite sofa.
Sora started to nibble at a cracker, "Now, before you flip I want you to consider this. Don't go off the wall please," Sora said seriously.
"Okay I promise," Mimi said.
"Well, it's about Yamato," Sora stopped expecting her to say something but she had only sighed at the mention of his name.
"Mimi you don't still hate him do you. You miss him don't you?" she asked her.
Mimi nodded, "I do miss him, but how can I ever forgive him for what he did," She said.
Sora looked at her friend then at the main house through the window, "Taichi has a plan, because Yamato broke up with
Brittany and now she says she's….pregnant..." Sora didn't get a chance to finish when she was cut off.
"WHAT!" she yelled.
"Mimi sit down! I thought you promised not to over react!" Sora said quickly.
"Fine, go on," Mimi said feeling tears coming to her.
"As I was saying she's pregnant but Taichi doesn't think so and neither does Yamato," Sora said.
"How do they think that? I saw him in bed with her with my own eyes!" she said shouting at Sora.
"Mimi please just put that aside, they want your help to expose Brittany's lies," Sora said begging her hoping she could find somewhere in her heart to let her work with him.
"Put it aside something like that which has been haunting me for a month," Mimi said.
"Please Mimi, if you want to know the real truth then you will help them. That way you can really find out what really happened," Sora said.
Mimi bit her lip, "You don't understand how it feels," she began.
"No I don't. Yamato claimed he doesn't remember a thing what kind of guy would not remember if they slept with a girl?" Sora said
"You have a point I should give him the benefit of the doubt then," Mimi said she smiled to Sora, "I'm in."
"Good, I'll let Yamato and Taichi know you are in as well," Sora said.
"Okay, tell Yamato to meet me at my locker at school tomorrow okay?" Mimi asked her.
"Sure I will do that," Sora said with a smile.
"Well bye Sora thank you," she said and left the house.
With in a couple minutes of leaving Taichi came threw the front door, "How did it go?" he asked quickly.
"She said yes and that she will meet Yamato at her locker tomorrow," Sora said with a huge smile of success across her face.
"Great we are close to know the real truth," Taichi said he grabbed the phone and called Yamato again.
"Ishida," Yamato said answering the phone.
"Yamato good news," Taichi said.
"She agreed?" Yamato asked him a little surprised.
"Yeah and she wants to meet you tomorrow at school at her locker," Taichi said.
"Looks like my luck is finally changing, tell Sora thank you," Yamato said grinning as things were finally looking up. Mimi was agreeing to see him and make an attempt at a normal conversation with him tomorrow.
