War Torn
Chapter Ten: Top Secrets


Tai woke up and turned over to see Sora sleeping softly beside him. Immediately, images from the previous night rushed into his head, and he smiled. Even though they didn't do anything, Tai felt he had the most enjoyable evening of his life. He had never laughed with someone so easily as he did with Sora. And now, seeing her sleeping beside him, blue silk pajamas covering her seemingly perfect body, Tai felt himself fall even more in love with her.


"Wake up. . .Sora. . ." Tai whispered, kissing the sleeping woman's lips softly. Sora moaned lightly and opened her eyes, smiling when she came face to face with Tai.


"Morning." Tai said, kissing her once again. Sora returned the kiss.


"Morning to you too." Sora replied, smiling. Tai took Sora into his arms and held her as they lay in bed listening to the birds chirping outside the window.


"Don't you just want to be like this forever?" Sora asked. Tai smiled and looked down at her.


"Yes I do." Tai answered. Sora touched Tai's bare chest and sighed. She turned to kiss him, wrapping her arms around him as she did so. The couple kissed until air was not only needed, but imperative. Sora whispered something into Tai's ear, and he looked at her worriedly.


"Are you serious?" Tai asked. Sora nodded, and unbuttoned a couple buttons of her shirt. Tai stopped her and looked into her eyes seriously.


"Sora. . .I don't know. I mean, you're telling me you're ready, but I don't know if you're just saying that to make me feel better. In all honesty, I can't say that I am ready at all. I think we should both wait. Until we're both ready." Tai stated, buttoning the buttons back up. Sora's mind began to spin as she realized the love she had inside for Tai.


"You're such a wonderful person . . .how come no one took you before you met me?" Sora asked. Tai kissed her forehead and smiled.


"Just lucky, I guess." Tai replied, leaning down and kissing Sora again.


Mimi sat up in the motel and instantly felt nausea overtake her. She leapt out of bed, startling Matt in the process. His dark blue eyes opened with shock as the bed bounced and someone went sprinting into the bathroom.


"Mimi?" Matt asked. He was answered with the sound of Mimi throwing up. Cringing at the sound, Matt covered his head with his pillow. Mimi walked out of the bathroom, holding her stomach. She saw Matt hiding, and frowned.


"Are you hiding from something, Matt?" Mimi asked. Matt uncovered his face and looked up at Mimi timidly.


"Not exactly, I just couldn't listen to you vomit, that's all." Matt replied. Mimi frowned again and laid down in bed beside Matt.


"It's not exactly all my fault I am throwing up everything. If I do recall correctly, there was a blonde haired blue eyed man there too when this all happened." Mimi scolded.


"I know, I'm sorry. . .it's just so. . .gross." Matt complained. Mimi rolled her eyes.


"Gross for who? You? You make me laugh." Mimi said sarcastically, throwing a smile Matt's way. Matt smiled back and leaned over to Mimi, kissing her lips gently. Mimi pulled Matt onto her, and Matt winced at the pain.


"Oh my gosh, I forgot. . .I'm sorry sweetie." Mimi cried. Matt rolled back onto his side of the bed, holding his side.


"It's okay. Give me a couple weeks. And besides, we shouldn't be. . . you know. . . .when you're. . .you know." Matt said. Mimi groaned in anguish and flopped back onto her pillow. Within seconds, she was up and running for the bathroom.


"You shouldn't have flopped so hard honey." Matt advised. Mimi moaned as she began to throw up for the second time that morning. Matt shook his head and sat up in bed. He looked down at his hand, and the bright gold ring he had bought the night before.


'I can't believe I am married. It's so unreal. And topping off the marriage, there's going to be a kid running around soon. Was this too sudden? No, I have to take care of her. She's having MY baby. No use thinking about what I could have done, it's already done. I'm married, plain and simple. No more running around, no more dates. Life's going to be very different now that I'm going to be a husband AND a daddy. . . ' Matt thought. Mimi came out of the bathroom once again, her eyes tired.


"Can I quit now?" Mimi asked pitifully. Matt smiled sympathetically and kissed Mimi gently on the lips.


"So what do you want to do?" Sora asked Tai as they finished getting ready to go out. Tai pondered the offer, then smiled.


"I haven't had a shake in a couple weeks. How about that?" Tai asked. Sora grinned and nodded, and the couple was soon out the door to find an ice cream parlor.


"Do you think they're going to need you in the war?" Sora asked as they sipped tall milkshakes.


"I don't know. I hope not, I don't want to leave you ever again." Tai answered. Sora blushed and took another drink.


"I don't want you to go either, but if America needs you, you should go." Sora added. Tai nodded.


"True. But maybe I can leave the service and get a job. I could make enough money to buy you a house, then we can get married. . . " Tai rambled. Sora looked at Tai in shock.


"Did you say. . .get married?" Sora asked. Tai nodded, then realized what he said and looked up at Sora sharply.


"Woah. . . .I think I got away from myself there. . .I mean, that's the future hopefully, but now right now." Tai stammered.


"So you wouldn't want to marry me right now?" Sora asked, hurt. Tai made an attempt to explain, but gave in.


"I would marry you right here, right now. I love you so much, even though I haven't even known you for a month." Tai whispered seriously. Sora's eyes brightened, and she smiled once more.


"I knew you would. But I don't want to rush marriage either, so we're on the same page." Sora replied. Tai grinned.


**This is going to be three months from now, just so no one gets confused, and I don't make this chapter extremely long!**


Matt and Mimi walked out of their little house on the base, heading for the grocery. It was a lovely Sunday afternoon, and the couple had just gotten home from church. Matt opened the car door for Mimi, who got in and buckled her seat belt. She placed a hand on her belly, which was ever so slightly mounded. Matt got into the car and began to pull out of their driveway when a white car pulled up beside them.


"Captain Yamato Ishida?" a dark man with sunglasses asked. Matt got out of the car and nodded.


"I have these documents for you. If you accept, please report to headquarters tomorrow at 0900 hours. Good day, Captain." The man stated before getting back into the car and driving away. Thinking nothing of the document, Matt got into the car and drove with Mimi to the grocery.


"What was that man talking to you about?" Mimi asked later at dinner. Matt pulled the forgotten document out of his pocket and read them carefully.


"They want me to fly to Japan and bomb them in a secret mission." Matt said solemnly.


"You're going to refuse, right? I don't want you going over there and dying before you see your baby." Mimi cried.


"I want to go." Matt declared.


"NO!" Mimi yelled, standing up. Her behavior was shocking to Matt, who had never seen her yell.


"Mimi, I have to go. You don't understand." Matt cried, growing angry.


"Why wouldn't I understand? Tell me!" Mimi yelled, her volume rising. Matt threw his fists onto the table, sending Mimi back into her seat with fear.


"My entire company was killed. I am the only one left. I have to get revenge for them." Matt said slowly.


"At the cost of your own life?" Mimi asked darkly. She stood and stalked out of the kitchen, slamming the door to their bedroom after going inside. Matt sat still for a moment, then slammed his fists onto the table once again.


**So I think I am going to leave it there . . . .don't hate me, review me!**
