April 1st 2017
Davis's hospital room eight o'clock am…
Davis was awake he wasn't feeling that well this morning as he did previous mornings, he groaned.
The nurse came into the room,"I see yours up good morning," She commented with a smile. She went over to check his vitals. "How you're feeling this morning?" she asked.
"Not good," He answered she wrote a few things down on her clipboard.
"Well I'll have the doctor come in here and check you out okay," She replied then left. After she had left Daisuke watched through the small glass window as his son lay in the hospital bed.
"Daisuke go in there and talked to him," Miyako whispered to him.
He stood motionless as he watched Davis through the small window then turned to her, "What if I make him upset? Even more then he already is?" he questioned her.
"You won't you were his favorite 'uncle' before this," She said.
"That obviously changed, Miyako," Daisuke told her.
"He might think differently now…please just go in there…here," She handed him the shrubs and mask.
"What's this?" he questioned.
"You have to put those on to go see him okay."
Daisuke nodded then went to put them on.
Yagami house….
Anna sorted through the mail from Friday that no one bothered to look through and found a two letters one addressed to Kevin and her and another addressed to Taichi and Sora. She opened the one addressed to her and Kevin first then Taichi came into the kitchen.
"Morning Mum," He said.
"Taichi here," His mother handed him the envelope he looked at it first then using a clean knife he opened the envelop.
"Oh no…" he whispered looking through the white fancily decorated cards, he looked at each of them, "Sora is not going to be happy," He said out loud
"I'm not? Why not?" Sora questioned walking into the kitchen with her baby. Taichi and Anna both startled looked up to see her standing there. Taichi put the cards down on the kitchen table then approached her with his arms held out to Sora. He then scooped Li from her then gave Li to his mother.
"Now sweetie before….I tell you this I want you to not get angry," Taichi said gently. Her watched expression which was on of confusion until her eyes shifted to the white envelope that was on the table.
Sora made a dash to the letter as did Taichi to the paper but Sora got there first.
She zipped through them and laughed, "Please tell me these are a joke and my father isn't going to marry that…that woman," She said angrily at her husband.
"I'm afraid it's not," Taichi said and looked at her and went to his wife slowly hold his hands out to her. "Sora…sweet heart…I know your mad--"
"MAD? I'm furious! Do you know what kind of example that sets for our kids Taichi?" she questioned him heatedly but trying not to yell.
"Your right lets not rehash the whole thing from Christmas," He said calmly. "Think happy thoughts that we are moving into our house today," He smiled at her.
But she wasn't smiling at all. Taichi's smiled faded from his face immediately "Taichi…your supposed to be supportive of me…and you're not begging very supportive of me at the moment though," Sora told him.
"Oh I support you hundred percent, I'm just as angry about this as you are babe. I'm totally disgusted," Taichi answered immediately.
"Good then you'll help me out then," She replied.
"Sure, what ever it is I will try to do it for you," He complied looking at her.
"Okay then I want you to call my father and persuade him not to marry her. Because I have to go to the hospital, to be with Saria and make sure she's okay," Sora replied.
"Sora, your father hates me! Why would he listen to me if I tell him to not marry Aimee?" he questioned his wife.
"Anna can you watch Li for me…Taichi upstairs," Sora started out of the kitchen.
Taichi followed her and caught up with her at the stairs, "Okay just listen to me for once, Dean hates me, he thinks I'm a horrible husband and father," Taichi said to her as he followed her up the stairs
"Why are you arguing it. It's just a simple task Taichi. Talk to my father and tell him to drop the wedding," Sora replied and she opened the door into the bedroom and closed it on Taichi's face; he opened the door then walked in.
"I know what you want but what makes you think that he'll listen to me?" Taichi asked her again.
"Taichi think about it…he wouldn't listen to me, my mother or your parents because he thinks we are over exaggerating!" she shouted she looked through the closet.
Taichi sat down on the bed and picked up the phone and pushed each one of the buttons angrily, "We will see if he listens," He commented irritated.
Ishida's
Mimi was sleeping peacefully she lay on her side her back facing her husband. Yamato didn't look like he had a peaceful sleep at all, he turned over looked at his alarm clock, the digital clock told him it was eight thirty in the morning. "Oh god." He swung his himself over the side of bed and sat there for a while his fingers were threaded in his hair as he held his head up, his elbows propped up on his knees…he looked at the ground.
Mimi woke shortly after words she watched Yamato his back was facing her but she still watched him. She knew something was wrong with him. Maybe those dreams he had before came back. She sighed and cleared her throat to signal that she was awake now. "Yamato…is it the dreams again?" she asked him, slowly sitting up right in bed.
Yamato slowly got off the bed Mimi watched him go to the dresser in they're room that had the big mirror, he looked into the mirror he saw Mimi staring at him full of concern. "No…it's not." He whispered. He didn't want her to be upset but knowing Mimi she would want to know what it is that was bothering him. She was close to the truth the dreams had returned to him.
"Yamato don't protect me from this I know what you're going through," Mimi responded concerned. 'Why does he hide this from me doesn't he know that I want to help if he is going through the dreams again. After all the hell we have been through this past year and months with Brittany and the baby problems he should know I want to help.' She thought.
"Okay…I lied the dreams came back Mimi," He answered he watched her from the mirror still.
Mimi started to get out of bed and walked over to him and putting her hand on his shoulder. "I'm here for you. Those things she did affected me. I'll help you get through those nightmares," She replied.
Yamato turned around and hugged her, "I know, Mimi I know…" he replied.
"But it was so livid and real…like it actually happened," He whispered.
Mimi patted his back softly, "Come on, you can't just believe in those dreams your been having," She told him, then pulling away from the hug. "Now lets go make some breakfast," Mimi put on her robe and gave Yamato his.
Hospital…
Daisuke was in his son's hospital room then slowly approached the bed, Davis turned and saw his biological father there and he smiled lightly. "Dad…." He whispered he closed his eyes feeling the full effects what ever the thing he had was taking on him.
"Hi Davis…I came as soon as I found out your were in the hospital," Daisuke said.
"I knew you would," He whispered.
"How are you feeling?" he asked him.
"Not good." Davis closed his eyes.
Daisuke turned noticing that a doctor came into the room with a two nurses, "Sorry sir we are going to take him to get the spinal tap done," He replied.
Daisuke just moved out of the way, "I'll be waiting here Davis," he called after they took him out. Davis nodded acknowledging him.
After the nurses and doctor left with Davis. Daisuke came out of the room where he was greeted by Ken and Miyako.
"They're taking him for a spinal tap," Daisuke said.
Miyako and Ken both nodded, "Yeah the doctor told us about that yesterday."
An uncomfortable silence spread between the three of them. "I should get out of these huh," Daisuke replied taking untying the mask and then walking toward the bathroom.
Ken's cell phone rang suddenly he picked it up, "Hello Ken here," He answered into the phone. Miyako watch him as he talked he rolled his eyes at her he then nodded a couple of time before he turned the phone off, placing it back in his coat pocket.
"What is it?" she questioned.
"I have to go to work there's a problem…that I can only work out," He answered with a sigh.
"I'm sorry honey I'll be back as soon as I can," He replied.
Miyako smiled,"I understand don't worry okay." She replied she leaned up and kissed him softly then left.
Tokyo…
The phone rang and Dean reached over and picked up the phone from the side of his bed, "Dean Takenouchi." He replied.
"Dean, how's it going?" Taichi replied he growled under his breath as Sora was watching him, he turned away from her.
"Taichi what do you want?" Dean asked into the phone he waiting for his Son-in-law to answer his question.
"Look Dean it's not that I had the option to not call you," He replied.
"And what is that supposed mean?" Dean asked he sat up in bed.
"Nothing okay…we got your wedding invitation…and I want you to call it off." Taichi replied simplify
"You have no right to tell me to cancel my wedding!" Dean told him.
"Okay I don't but what do you want your grand children to think? Huh? I mean they're going to have a grandmother that's what they're mother and fathers age?" Taichi questioned.
"Sora told you to phone didn't she? She put this up to you?" He asked suddenly. "Put my daughter on the phone now," Dean demanded.
Taichi looked at Sora and held the receiver out to her, "He wants to talk to you." Taichi replied.
Sora took the receiver from him.
Dean tapped on the covers of his blanket waiting for his daughter to pick up he was angry at Taichi and his daughter. For even suggesting that to cancel the wedding. Just because she was five years older then them it doesn't mean they had the right to do that.
"Hello," Sora said into the receiver.
"I can't believe you did that sweetheart I love you and everything but I don't appreciate that you told your husband to phone and tell me to call off my wedding…which I will not do," Dean told her.
Sora angry at her father slammed the receiver down. "Hmm…he wants it that way then fine," Sora replied she angrily took her shirt off and threw it at Taichi. Then she went into the closet and got a fuzzy gray sweater with a pattern running across the front of it and put it on, then took a pair of jeans and put them on.
"Well, I hate to say I told you so but…I told you so." Taichi said to her, getting up he folded her shirt neatly then brought it over to the closet.
"Okay your right…and I'm absolutely sorry for being like that earlier, you know how I get angry about stuff like, my father." She whispered.
"I couldn't stay mad at you forever," Taichi replied he went over to her and kissed her.
"Me neither," She replied and gave him kiss and a hug.
"You know have you ever found out about the birth control pills?" Taichi asked her suddenly.
"Um…no" they both pulled away from they're hug and looked at each other. Sora went into the washroom Taichi followed he stayed by the door. Sora opened her birth control case and looked through it, "Um strange…they're back." She whispered she then thought of something and gave her attention to Taichi.
"What?" he questioned.
Sora sighed then furrowed her brow in thought, "Hmm…well you know how Hikari and Takeru have been…well close?" she asked him.
"Yeah what about it…whoa Sora are you saying that Hikari took your birth control pills?" Taichi said reading her mind.
"She could have," Sora replied.
"The key words could have. Sora why would she do that?" he asked.
Sora shrugged, "Could you ask her for me…when Takeru and her come and help move our stuff to the new house?" Sora asked of him.
"Okay wait there one minute you want me to ask my sister if she's using your birth control? I can't do that…that's like something a guy doesn't discuss especially with his sister." He said.
"Fine…I'll ask her later, any ways I'll see you tonight…and watch our baby," She told him and gave Taichi a kiss before leaving they're bedroom.
Taichi began the task of finding boxes to move their stuff to the new house.
Ishida house….
The doorbell rang Yamato in sweatshirt and sweat pants went to answer the door, he found his brother and Hikari there and opened the door for them.
"Good morning bro," Takeru replied stepping in.
Hikari was the next, "Morning Yamato." She said smiling.
Takeru smirked, "Nice outfit are you going jogging? To get rid of that stomach." Takeru replied poked him in the stomach.
"I don't see you for how long? And that's how you greet me; with insults?" Yamato questioned him.
Hikari hit Takeru "They're you go Yamato I got him for you." She said laughing.
Mimi then came to the door and opened her arms to Hikari,"Oh what a surprise!" Mimi gave her a hug.
"How are you feeling Mimi?" Hikari asked they two girls pulled away from each other.
"Good thank you." She answered.
"And how is my brother in law today?" she questioned watching Takeru
"Good actually thank you for asking Meems," He replied.
"Well, come on and lets sit in the living room and catch up." Mimi said with a smile and ushered the two into the living room after they had taken off they're shoes and jackets.
They all sat on the sofa's "So are you ready for the wedding?" Mimi asked them.
"Oh yeah…that reminds me Mimi we are scheduled for the dress fittings next Thursday," Hikari told her.
"Okay I'll mark that down on the calendar." She got up and went to the kitchen.
"Yamato…I know you and Sora have your differences…and I hope to god you don't end up killing each other at my wedding but are you over what ever it is you dislike about her?" Hikari questioned him.
He sighed, "How much times do we need to go over this?" he asked.
"Enough time until I know you aren't to kill each other before the ceremony…and hopefully you don't start to argue walking down the aisle together either," She said.
"Don't worry okay It's not that I hate Sora. It's her attitude that I don't like," He replied. "She changed ever since high school." He finished looking at the two.
"Well, I'll be sure to tell Sora not to talk to you," Takeru replied.
Yamato rolled his eyes as Mimi returned with some cookies, "They're oatmeal fresh baked too," She replied.
Hikari and Takeru each took one, "Really good…I like it." Takeru said. Hikari nodded agreeing with him.
"So what was that about Sora earlier?" Mimi questioned.
Yamato gave her a smile "What stuff about Sora? Who said we were talking about her?" he questioned.
"Since I heard you guys talking about her." Mimi replied giving him a look.
Yamato laughed nervously.
"Yeah we were actually; telling him not to get into a fight with Sora at our wedding," Takeru replied.
"Good you better listen," Mimi said giving her husband a look that said 'Or else you'll get it.'
Hospital…around one pm
Saria looked at her mother she was so tired.
"Saria did you get any sleep last night?" Sora asked then bent down on her knees so she could look her daughter in the eyes. "Saria…I know you want to stay here with Davis but you got to go home and we have to let you have some sleep its not good for you if you can't rest," Sora told her.
"Mom, I have to be here. What if something happened and I wasn't here," She tried to explain to her mom but she wasn't getting through to her she sighed.
"Sweetie I know you mean well, and I would have done what you are doing right now for you father. How ever Davis needs to be with his parents, they have problems I'm sure you know about them. They have to work them out," Sora said.
Saria nodded understanding her mother was right about this. Davis does need to resolve things with his parents, "Okay, can I just go and say bye?" she asked.
"Yeah sure," Sora said the pushed herself up from the kneeling position she was in.
Saria walked to the hospital room she peered in and saw he was sleeping.
"Here put those on and I'll come in there with you," Sora volunteered.
"No that's okay mom," Saria said and she went to the bathroom then changed into the hospital scrubs.
Sora sighed she watched her daughter entered the hospital room. 'She's so much like her father…' Sora thought watching through the window as Saria went up to Davis side.
Inside the room…
"Davis…I'm sorry I can't stay any longer but I'll be back promise," She replied.
He opened his eyes and watched her momentarily then nodded, "That's okay Saria…I'll phone you when I get better," He replied.
Saria nodded,"Well I'll be waiting." She replied she when into her pocket and pulled out a gold chain and then put it into his hands. "Here this was my dad's but you can hold on to it. It helped me when my mom was hurt and when my little sister died," She said with a small smile.
"Thank you Saria," He replied.
"No problem, friends forever?" she questioned.
"Friends forever," He replied.
"Bye, get well soon," She said before leaving.
Outside Davis's hospital room her mother waited for her. "Ready?" Sora asked her
"I am," she said. Sora took her daughters hand in hers and together they started down the hospital corridor.
XcccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccX
Daisuke and Miyako ran into each other outside in the park that was located just out side the hospital.
"I take it Ken's not back yet," He said.
She nodded, "No it must have been a very big problem," She said to him.
He put his hands into his pockets then they began to walk together, "Look can I just ask you one question, I don't' want to fight about it either," Davis replied he watched her.
"Sure what is it that you wanted to ask me?"
"The night that I was drunk. Well we were both drunk. But how come you didn't stop it. I was totally wasted, I didn't think you were too," He replied.
Miyako looked away from him trying to think, "I don't know…" she whispered.
"Never mind, don't worry about it because it's the past," He replied they stopped. "I just wanted to say sorry…about everything that happened today for the past week…and I want start over," He said stopping.
They hugged first time in a long time, then pulled away from each other. They slowly leaned toward one another.
