How It All Started
Fifth Edition

Mimi closed her eyes and clenched her teeth as she felt another contraction rush thorugh her body. It had been ten hours, and the Joe still said it wasn't time to deliver the baby yet. Tai held Mimi's hand, grimacing as she squeezed it tightly in her own. Matt and Sora watched from a couple of chairs, coaching the couple as they made it through another contraction. Mimi flopped back onto her pillow, sweat forming on her brow from the work she was doing. Tai rubbed his sore hand and smiled weakly at Mimi, who smiled back as she rubbed her swollen stomach tenderly.
"Why don't you just come out, little one?" Mimi asked aggitatedly. Sora and Matt stifled a giggle, then got up and left the room for some coffee. Tai sat down beside Mimi and watched the baby's heart monitor.
"Mimi, I'm so sorry about leaving you, but I just don't understand why you didn't wait for me." Tai said quietly. Mimi looked out the window silenty, watching the tulips blow in the breeze outside.
"I just. . . .got caught up in a moment. I didn't mean for it to happen, and neither did Izzy. The whole situation was unplanned. I mean, when it happened, you were gone on business in the Digiworld, and Izzy was there, and one thing led to another, and. . . ." Mimi tried to explain. She gasped as another contraction began to rise and took Tai's hand in hers again. Joe walked in, followed by Sora and Matt. After checking Mimi out, Joe called in a nurse and wheeled Mimi out of the room to the delivery room.
"She's ready Tai, we should be coming out in about half an hour to an hour." Joe said as he followed Mimi and the nurses toward the delivery room. Tai's face darkened slightly as the swinging doors closed to the room.
"What's wrong, Tai?" Matt asked. Tai turned around and frowned slightly, taking a seat in a chair.
"I don't know. . .it's this whole baby thing. I mean, right now, I have no part of this child. Maybe it'll call me daddy, but what am I going to say when it gets older and finds out that I'm not it's daddy?" Tai asked looking at the floor. Sora and Matt sat on both sides of Tai and put their arms around their friend.
"I'm sure that no matter who this kid's dad is, they'll always know you as dad." Matt whispered. Sora wiped a tear from her eye and stared down the corridor as Izzy walked toward them, flowers in hand. His wife was with him, smiling sweetly. Izzy stopped at Tai, Matt and Sora and looked nervously at them.
"Where's Mimi?" Izzy asked shakily. Tai glared at Izzy, then walked away from the group. Matt and Sora sighed, then Sora left Matt with Izzy and his wife to chase after Tai.
"What do you care, Izzy?" Matt asked cooly.
"I care. She's carrying my baby, how could I not care?" Izzy replied. Izzy's wife gasped slightly and stared at Izzy.
"It's true. . . . ." Izzy stated. The woman looked at Izzy and shook her head, but didn't say a word about the situation.
"Where were you when she had no money? No home? How about when she was put on bedrest because she almost miscarried? And what about support? Did you know Tai left after he found out about the baby? And then you left too! How could you do that to her?" Matt demanded. Izzy looked at Matt with sadness in his eyes.
"I don't know! I was confused, I was terrified, I was so unprepared for something like this to happen! Would it make a difference if I said I was sorry for messing up Mimi's life, Tai's marriage, and his life too?" Izzy retorted softly. Tai came back with Sora on his heels at that time and looked at Izzy with large chocolate eyes.
"Look, I'm not going to hold this against you or Mimi. It was a mistake that will be forgotten. The only thing is, I don't want you to ask for custody of this baby. The last thing it needs is to be shuffled back and forth like a toy. So it's going to be mine and Mimi's. And the name will be Kamiya. I don't want this kid ot be messed up, okay?" Tai demanded quietly. Izzy nodded as he agreed not to ever ask for custody of his child. Joe burst through the delivery room door moments later with a small blue blanket, a little pink baby wrapped securely inside it. Tai and Izzy sprinted down the hall to Joe, who presented the baby for them to see. Sora, Matt and Izzy's wife walked to the baby and looked at him adoringly.
"It's a boy. Mimi called him Jordan Michael. Here you go,Tai." Joe said, handing the child to Tai. Tai handed the baby to Izzy, who looked at him lovingly.
"He looks nothing like me whatsoever." Izzy remarked, touching the baby's light brown hair gently. Tai took the baby back and gazed into the rusty eyes of his son and smiled. He walked down to the recovery room where Mimi was staying and put the child into her waiting arms. Mimi smiled and hugged Tai lightly. Izzy walked in and placed the flowers on the dresser before leaving, not saying a word. Sora and Matt rushed in and chatted with Mimi, cooing over the baby happily.



**This is the ending. . . **

Mimi and Tai walked through the Digiworld hand in hand. It had been about nine years since Jordan was born, and now he was a strong young boy who was fascinated with everything he encountered. Taichi, Mimi and Tai's son, ran beside his brother, laughing as he stumbled through the flowers. Taichi was a product of the months directly proceeding Jordan's birth. It turned out that a couple months after Jordan was born, Mimi got pregnant again, resulting in Taichi. Now eight, Taichi and his brother ran to a bunch of other children gathered in a meadow. Tai and Mimi saw Kari and TK, who'd gotten married after each divorcing their other spouses. Kari and TK's sons were the same ages, and played wonderfully together with the other kids. Ken and Yolie stood nearby with all three of their children, who were eleven, ten and three months old. Davis walked in with his son, explaining that his wife was on a business trip for the weekend and couldn't come. Joe slapped Cody on the back and laughed with him as their kids played in the grass nearby. Joe's son looked just like him when he was twelve, and Cody's daughter was very lovely at the age of six. Last but not least stood Izzy with his seven year old daughter, who was a spitting image of her dad. Izzy approached Tai and Mimi and smiled at Jordan, who played with the other children happily.
"Hi you two. Jordan looks wonderful." Izzy exclaimed. Mimi and Tai smiled. Mimi rubbed her slightly showing belly and grinned.
"We're getting ready to add to the family again. This time it's a little girl." Mimi said happily.
"How's your wife, Izzy?" Tai asked, changing the subject. Izzy frowned and looked at his daughter.
"We're not doing so well right now. I want another baby, and she doesn't, and it's causing some fights." Izzy said.
"Well, I hope the two of you work everything out, Izzy." Mimi said as she walked away with Tai toward the old Digidestined.
"Where's Sora and Matt?" Davis asked. Everyone looked around for the missing Chosen Children, but came up empty handed.
"Looking for us?" Matt asked as he and Sora appeared with their sons in tow. The party soon began, all the Digidestined catching up each other with news about their families and children. After a few hours, the time cam to go home. Each family went their separate ways and waved goodbye to each other.
