**Okay, so I got some mixed response to who the father of Mimi's mystery baby should be. . . . and I have decided on who I thought would be logical. . . .and, since nobody knows how logical I am, then there's prolly no way of guessing who I decided on without reading my fic! So what are you waiting for? Get crackin'!**
How It All Started
Second Edition
Mimi sighed lightly and felt Tai's arms wrap around from behind. The sun was streaming in through a gap between the hotel curtains, which were closed almost completely. Tai pulled Mimi close to him and whispered drowsily to her as she lay wide awake, staring at the ceiling. She hadn't gotten a wink of sleep the whole night. She and Tai had made love into the wee hours of the morning, then after Tai fell asleep, Mimi remained awake worrying about the baby inside her. She hoped she was good enough to fool Tai, after all, she had to convince him that she was still innocent, still. . . .a virgin. Mimi cringed as she realized that someday she would have to come clean and admit that Tai was not the father of the child within her. But today wasn't the day, considering she and Tai couldn't get pregnant that fast.
'I'll tell him in a couple weeks. . . .that'll cover for it. I can hide this kids identity until it's born. . .then. . .I don't know what to do! Tai's going to see right away if this baby is his or not, considering there is so much contrast to him and the one who is really the father. . .I wish I had never given in to him. . .' Mimi thought, closing her eyes and pretending to be sleeping as Tai leaned over and kissed her gently. Mimi rolled over to face Tai, looking into his loving chocolate eyes.
'He loves me so much. . .how could I betray him like this?' Mimi imagined. Thoughts of getting a secret abortion crossed her mind, but Mimi shrugged them away as she didn't believe in abortion, no matter what the circumstance.
"You look so wonderful in the morning, honey." Tai said, his eyes half closed. Mimi tried to smile cheerfully, but came across looking exhausted.
"Tired? I kind of thought you'd be slightly sleepy after last night. That was a huge step for both of us, huh?" Tai remarked.
"Yeah, it was." Mimi whispered, burrying her head in Tai's chest and sighing as he continued to hold her close.
'I have to tell him. . .tell them. They have to know, but when?' Mimi thought sadly as she felt Tai kiss her and move on top of her once again.
Three weeks rolled quickly by, and Mimi still hadn't even told Tai she was pregnant. She tried to hide her morning sickness, but Tai still became suspicious and asked her to see a doctor.
"I'm worried about you. I think you may be sick." Tai stated as he ate breakfast one morning. Mimi grinned happily and sat next to her husband. She had decided this was the day that she'd tell Tai she was pregnant.
"Um, Tai, I have to tell you something." Mimi said carefully. Tai put down his fork and listened to his wife.
"I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm. . .I'm pregnant." Mimi cried happily, leaping into Tai's arms. She released herslelf from Tai's grip and sat down into her chair when she didn't feel a response to her announcement. Tai stared in shock at Mimi, then got up from the table and stalked away to the bedroom, where he emerged later, dressed and ready for work.
"Tai. . .what's wrong?" Mimi asked, scared to death that Tai, normally so warm, was now being so cold. Tai glared at her and put on his shoes.
"Look, I don't know how to tell YOU this, but we can't be pregnant!" Tai cried, exasperated. Mimi looked at Tai in shock as he continued.
"We have used condoms every time we had sex." Tai whispered. Mimi stiffened as the news hit her like a mack truck. Condoms. . .he knew he hadn't fathered the child she had just referred to. Mimi shuddered and looked at Tai, her brownish eyes searching for answers. Tai opened the front door and walked out, slamming it behind him angrilly. Mimi stared at the floor, then began to bawl uncontrollably.
Mimi walked slowly down the street toward a high rise apartment building. The wind whpped around her, making her shiver irrepressibly. She reached the entrance and walked in, getting into the elevator and pressing the button to go up. Twenty two floors later, the elevator stopped, and Mimi got out, making her way down the hall to room 2278. Stopping, Mimi took a deep breath and knocked on the door. She waited a few minutes, then knocked again. This time, the door opened, and Izzy stepped out of the room in a green robe.
"Mimi! What a surprise! Come in!" Izzy said as he led Mimi into his apartment. Once inside, Mimi noticed that a woman was sleeping in Izzy's room. Izzy blushed and closed the door to his room, blocking Mimi's view of the woman. Izzy sat down at the table, and Mimi followed suit. After a short time chatting, Mimi broke the converstaion down.
"I'm pregnant, Izzy." Mimi said quietly. Izzy grinned and jumped up happily.
"That's so great! You and Tai will be great parents!" Izzy rejoiced, hugging Mimi ecstatically.
"The baby's not Tai's. It's yours, Izzy." Mimi cintinued. Izzy let go of Mimi as if she were made of hot iron.
"What?!" Izzy shouted. The woman emerged from Izzy's room, and, seeing Izzy with Mimi, walked back into the room, shutting the door quietly. Izzy's face was blank as Mimi continued.
"You and I are the ones who are going to be parents." Mimi whispered, tears falling from her eyes once again.
"No. You're wrong. We aren't having a baby! I can't do that, because I'm going to get married, remember??" Izzy cried in a hushed whisper. Mimi nodded, remembering the month before that changed everything.
It had been a rainy day. Mimi and Izzy worked in the same building, and had decided to get lunch at his place. The electric had gone out, so Izzy had lit some candles to brighten the room. Mimi remembered how she and Izzy had been such close friends, and when he kissed her, she was taken quiet aback. But she didn't resist as Izzy began to undress her. She actually went along with it, indressing him as well. Soon the couple was in Izzy's bed, making love for Mimi's first time. She remembered the pain she felt as Izzy entered her, and how good it felt to be like that, the way Tai refused to be until they were married. Mimi had only wanted to learn how to be good for Tai, and Izzy had taught her a lot the afternoon. When they parted, Mimi watched Izzy dispose of a condom she would learn later on he never used.
"I can't believe you didn't use a condom Izzy!" Mimi screamed in the present moment. Izzy glared at Mimi.
"I didn't think you could get pregnant after your first time! I just wanted to have someone. It wasn't anything that meant anything to me. One thing just led to another." Izzy hissed angrilly. Seething, Mimi stood up and slapped Izzy roughly.
"Fine, if you don't want the baby, I'm sure Tai will take it in. He's a little bit better than you in the area of love anyway." Mimi retorted as she stalked out the door, slamming it behind her. Izzy slumped down into his chair as the woman walked out of the bedroom and hugged him tightly.
Mimi spent the afternoon walking the streets of Odaiba trying to find a way to make this whole experience easier on Tai. By the time Mimi returned home, it was dusk. She opened the door and called for Tai, but found that he wasn't around.
"Tai?" Mimi called again as she walked through the empty house. Mimi entered the bedroom and noticed all of Tai's drawers were open and empty. There was a note on Mimi's pillow, and Mimi snached it up nervously, reading the writing aloud.
"Mimi, I can't deal with this right now, and who can blame me? I just found out that my wife of three weeks is pregnant, but not by me. I don't want to know who the father is, I just want to be left alone. So I'm leaving for the United States this afternoon, and I don't think I'm coming back. I loved you Mimi, and I still do, I'm just upset by this whole baby thing. Don't try to find me, my parents and Kari have specific instructions not to tell you anything. Don't worry, no one knows anything. They think I'm on a secret business trip. Love, Tai" Mimi read as she sobbed, angry at herself for being so stupid in the first place. Now Tai wasn't coming home again, and she didn't have anyone on her side while she was pregnant, not even her sister in law. Mimi threw the letter on the bed and flopped down on it, sobbing herself to sleep.
**Okay everyone, Izzy's a daddy! I'm sorry that my characters are OOC, but that's the way it is, ya'll! Things are going to get worse as Mimi progresses into her pregnancy, much worse. The next chapter contains a little bit of Sorato and Matt/Mimi/Sora friendship. Thank you al for reviewing, and I hope you review this too!**
