He's My Son

Tai Kamiya stood in the waiting room of Tokyo Community General Hospital, pacing back and forth intencely. "I hope she's ok... I wonder..." It had been 15 years since the Digi-Destined dominated the realm called the Digi-World. Tai had gotten married to Sora Takenuchi, and now after 12 months, their first child was on its way.

A nurse came through the swinging doors and checked her clipboard. "Mr. Kamiya?"

"Yes, that's me," Tai said with a nod. "Is my wife ok?"

The nurse smiled. "She's fine. And so is your son. Congratulations, you're a father!"

Tai's jaw fell to the floor, literally. "Wha..can I see them?"

"Sure, follow me." The two made their way into the operating room where Sora lay, holding her newborn son.

"Oh Tai..." she whispered. "Look, we did it... we're parents!" Tears of happiness streamed from her eyes.

"No, you did it... Sora, I'm so proud to be your husband." Tai carefully took the newborn child in his arms and looked at his son.

"Hey son...what'll we name him?"

Sora hesitated. "Joshua...meaning 'The Lord Will Provide'."

"Then Josh Kamiya it is!"

Twelve years later, Josh answered a knock at the door of the Kamiya's household. "Hey Mark, what's up?" He asked, pulling an orange cap over his short reddish brown hair.

Mark Ishida, Josh's best friend, slapped a high-five with him. He was the splitting image of his father, including the intense blue eyes which now shone with excitement, not to mention the wild golden-blonde hair. "Nothing too weird, just wanted to see if you wanted to play some B-Ball!"

"I'll see, hold on." Josh ran upstairs where Tai was reading in bed. "Hey Dad, can Mark and I go play basketball?"

Tai nodded. "Sure, just don't break your neck or get run over or anything...your mom would kill me when she got back from the grocery." He winked playfully at his son.

"Ok, I'll be careful! Thanks Dad, see ya later!" Josh ran downstairs and glanced around for Mark, who was starting to raid the fridge. "C'mon, I can go!"

Mark peeked out from his post, holding a sandwich and a coke. "Um, can I finish eating first?"

Josh shook his head. "Don't you have food at YOUR house?"

"Well yeah, but I wasn't hungry until I left home!" Mark flashed a million-dollar grin, his only way of getting out of trouble with his parents. "It'll only take a second anyway."

"Oh all right." Josh nabbed a coke for himself before Mark closed the fridge door. "So are we going to the park, or did Tori get a new net already?" Tori Kido was the same age/grade as Mark and Josh, and the third member of the Three Muskateers, though it took hers AND Josh's begging to convince Mark to let her in to their little possie.

"Yeah, she got her net. She called me today and hinted about it, so I told her we'd be over ASAP."

"Great, let's go!"

"Tori, I'm open!" Josh shouted as he ran around the Kido's driveway.

Tori shook her head. "No you aren't! Mark's right on your tail, and Liza's on mine!" Liza Izumi the only other girl on the street that would play with guys -- even though she was better at working computers.

"Well shoot then!" Tori took aim and shot the ball up into the air, making a nuthin-but-net-ball. She removed her navy baseball cap and wiped the sweat from her forehead, while Josh cheered.

Mark smirked. "Ok, next game we're gonna get you good, right Liza? ....Liza? Where'd she go?"

Liza came out of the Kido house with a pitcher of water in one hand, and four glasses in the other. "Who's up for a drink?" she called out.

Josh trotted up and nabbed a glass from her. "I thought you'd never ask!"

"Thadda boy, Josh. Water's good for you, ya know," Tori noted, roughly patting Josh on the back. The boy froze, then ran over to the bushes in front of the house.

Mark's eye widened. "Josh, are you ok?" He carefully walked over to his friend, who sat in front of the bushes quaking.

"No...I feel queasy...Mark, stand ba-" he was interrupted a gurgling noise, followed by some of his digested coke from earlier. Mark jumped back three feet with a yelp.

"Oh my gosh! Tori, get your dad!"

"Why? Josh looks like he's under control..."

Mark rolled his eyes at his friend's obliviousness. "Tori, he's hurling on your Azalea bushes! Go get you dad, now!" He ordered.

The girl galloped inside the house and came back out half dragging her father by the hand. "Dad, what's wrong with Josh? He was fine a second ago, but now he's throwing up. Is he ok?"

Tori's Dad, Joe Kido, carefully walked over to Josh and placed his hand on the boy's back. "Josh, what happened?"

Josh stopped vomiting for a moment, long enough to say, "I don't know, I didn't feel nautious at all, I just started-" another round of vomit cut off his sentence. Joe ran inside and called Tai, who came over in a heartbeat.

"What's wrong?" Tai asked as he stepped out of his car.

Joe shook his head. "It just seems to be a case of vomiting, but he says he didn't feel any nausea before it happened..."

Tai helped Josh to his feet and sat him down in the passenger's side of the front seat. "Well, I'd better get him home...maybe it was something he ate, or-"

Liza squealed nervously. "Mr. Kamiya, look! Something else is wrong with Josh!" True enough, Josh appeared to be having a seizure of some kind. He fell out of the car and lay on the ground, twitching uncontrollably.

"That's it, I'm calling 911!" Tai grabbed the phone out of Joe's hand and dialed 911. The Paramedics came and took Josh to the hospital, who had passed out from the seizure.
