Roxas held Namine next to him as they stood on the porch above the garden. "I can't believe it." Namine told him. "I know. But it's incredible, you know? How things that are meant to be will always happen." She looked at him with glossy eyes. "You're not usually one to say things like that." He looked at her again, and kissed her forehead before kissing her lips. "I'm not one to feel things like this, either." He said while running his fingers through her hair. They were looking down at Sora and Kairi, both asleep in the garden, holding each other and their unborn daughter close.
Two hours after he and Riku had gone out for potions, they came back and Merlin said they had an important meeting in the library. They followed Merlin in where they saw Kairi standing next to Mickey, with a little bit of a pudge, Donald and Goofy, Namine, and the Fairies. "Sit." Mickey told them and they did what they were told. "As you all can see, Kairi is back, and I believe you all notice what is different about her." Donald was the first to answer. "She needs to lay off the donuts." Namine smacked him in the back of the head for being offensive, but Kairi knew Donald's sense of humor, and she just laughed. Namine asked her next. "This may seem like a stupid question, but are you.."
"Yes."
"Was it when.."
"Yes."
"So it's.." Kairi smiled. "Yes." Namine jumped up and gave her a hug. "That's all the questions I have." Namine sat back down and Riku asked. "Does Sora know?" Merlin answered his question. "Yes, Sora figured it out when he saw the last page of the prophecy about two hours ago. That's why Kairi was permitted to come back. If he already knows, having them apart won't do any good. But we all need to make sure we do everything possible to keep this hidden from the dark side." Everyone nodded their heads. Then, through the window, Kairi saw Sora, dazed, walking towards the garden. She turned towards Merlin. "Did you see him? He looks confused, is he upset?"
"Not at all, dear. He loves you, and he already loves her," he said, motioning towards her stomach. "Then why does he look like that?"
"He's scared mostly, but I'm a wizard my dear, I could also tell how happy he was when he figured it out." Mickey looked at her. "You can go to him." She smiled and hugged Mickey before walking towards the door. She turned around once more, to thank the fairies for their kindness. Then walked out, towards the guy she hadn't seen in almost eight months.
She found Sora asleep on the grass in the garden, he looked so peaceful. She laid down next to his right side, and rested her head on his right shoulder. About five minutes later he must've woken up, because she felt him put his arm around her and his other arm on their child. He closed his eyes again so he must have thought it was a dream, seeing her next to him. So she pretended to be asleep. They needed the togetherness right now. They could catch up when they woke.
Sora opened his eyes to see Kairi leaning over him. "Hey, baby." She said before kissing him. "I must be really tired." He closed his eyes again. She pinched him. Hard. "OW!" He bolted upright, he looked at her as if to say "What the hell was that for?" But then he realized that she was here. She was here, not in a dream, but for real. He quickly hugged her and kissed her over and over until she told him that he has to be careful now when he is that close to her. "Oh yeah. I'm sorry." He looked at her stomach. "I'm sorry baby." He looked up at Kairi again. "Are you okay? Can I get you anything? Are you craving anything? Are you sick?" She kissed him to interrupt him. "All those questions Sora, though appreciated, aren't necessary. The sickness passed already, as well as the cravings, I'm feeling great. The fairies took great care of me."
Then he put his head down. "I missed like, this entire thing." She put her hand on his shoulder. "I know. And it sucks. You have no idea how much I wished you were there with me."
"I could have gone to the market at one in the morning to buy pickles, or I could have gotten up ten times during the course of the night to get you water. Or…" She interrupted him again. "I know you would have. And I love you so much for that. But hey, since you figured out the prophecy, you will be here for the rest of it." He looked at her belly again. "Have you thought of a name yet?"
"Of course not, I want your say in that." He hugged her again, gently this time. I can't believe you're here." He brushed her hair behind her ears.
"Hey," Riku interrupted. "Sorry, but Mickey told me to make sure you don't forget about our trip tomorrow, Sora. I don't know where it's to, but he said to make sure you get enough sleep."
"Okay, thanks Riku." Riku turned around and Sora hopped to his feet, then he helped Kairi up and she linked her arm with his. They strolled slowly, to her room. She kissed him goodnight. Then closed the door. He went down the hall to his room, out the window, and over to her window. Meanwhile, she got dressed for bed then walked over to her window, expecting him. They'd arranged this because Mickey told them to sleep separately. After being separated for nearly eight months, they weren't about to listen. They climbed into bed and fell asleep in each other's arms.
Sora woke up at six-thirty the next day, Kairi was still sleeping, so he kissed her forehead and began to open the window. Then he heard her say "Wait". He walked over to her. "Yes?"
"I can't go with you today. I don't know where you're going, but be careful, and enjoy yourself? Okay?" He kissed her lips softly, nodded his head. She went back to sleep and he went into his room and got dressed just before seven, when he was due with the others in the gummi ship launch area.
"Is everyone accounted for?" Riku asked. Roxas came running down the stairs, putting on his jacket and shoes as he ran. "Whoa Roxas! You need to be careful!" Goofy told him. He looked at Namine. "Sorry I'm late, I had a long night." He looked at Sora then, and Sora knew exactly what he meant. Sora gave Namine a friendly hug and got into the gummi ship. "Where to?" Sora asked the King through the speaker when they got in. "Long Island, New York." The gummi ship dropped and launched off to their final mission.
