~Day Before Wedding~
"OMG!" Kari said freaking out.
"Kari? Kari. KARI!" Mimi shouted. Kari turned to her. "Stop freaking. The dress is on its way."
"I need to see Tk, I want to see Tk."
"Well not till tomorrow morning." Yolei sighed. Kari had been freaking out about every last detail for the past week. Tk was dragged out to Davis and Destiny's hotel room for the night. No one was taking chances with Tk and Kari seeing each other
"You guys are suppose to be my friends." Kari said getting upset. Mimi and Yolei looked at her and then each other.
"Why me?" They chorused together, as Kari just stood there.
***************************************
Tk looked at Davis and Matt. He looked at them. They looked at him. He shifted his weight from his right foot to left foot. He gave a heavy sigh.
"It's not like people don't get married everyday right?"
"That's right Tk. At least one couple gets married per day." Davis said trying to calm his best friend.
"Yeah bro. Don't worry. Once you see her in the beautiful dress. Every doubt or nervousness will be wiped away." Said Matt.
"You saw her in the dress?!"
"Yeah Mimi dragged me along for the fitting."
"I am gonna kill you!" Tk said trying to lunge at Matt. Davis got there in time and pulled Tk to the bed.
"Tk man. You have got to calm down. I mean don't stress about this. Save that for when you're in the deliver room, and she's yelling curses at you." Davis said handing him a glass of water.
"Yeah your right, I don't need to panic. I love her and she loves me. Thanks Davis. For everything. Letting me stay with you, Destiny and Sam." Tk smiled.
"Yeah well, you know how much Destiny loves you, and I am just glad Sam is being better behaved."
"I can't wait to be a dad." Matt said putting his arms behind his head.
"Sure you say that now" Davis smirked.
"Ha-ha, thanks for the support."
"No problemo!"
"Well I am glad you guys are having so much fun, while I am sitting here worrying about my wedding."
"Come on Tk. Cool down. Why don't we go get a drink ok?" Matt smiled.
"Because it's eleven o'clock in the morning."
"Oh…" The three boys began laughing.
***************************************
"Kari come on it's just us. The day before your wedding, at the best damn spa in London. Stop complaining and enjoy." Mimi said red flaring in her eyes. Kari silently backed away to the other side of the hot tub. Yolei didn't look shocked, or scared.
"I am going to have to agree with Mimi on this one. Stop worrying and enjoy!" Yolei settled into the water. "Besides Tai and Sora are taking care of everything. What could possibly go wrong?"
***************************************
"OMG! TAI!" Sora shouted as the rose canopy came tumbling to the floor. Now instead of the beautiful wood floor with the white carpet. There was a wood floor and white carpet with roses everywhere.
"Opps. I guess I should have done that."
"Ten hours! Just ten hours! Till they close and we have to go home. It will take atleast another four hours to redo the canopy!" Sora calmly, if not really eerily said.
"Look I am sorry baby. I'll go check the alter area so that I don't get in the way here." Tai said kissing his wife's cheek and making a dash for the alter area.
"Yeah thanks!" Sora shouted after him. She surveyed the floor. "Joseph get to work on this again, and this time if my husband asks to help, smack him." She said to one of the hired help. Joseph just nodded his head and went back to work.
"Sora?!" Sandra yelled as she ran to the redhead.
"Oh hey Sandra."
"Hey. I forgot my bag."
"Oh yeah… it's on one of the pews." Sora watched as Sandra made her way to the pews. "Towards the back! Hey you!" Sora shouted to one of the workers. "The curtains don't hang like that! It's suppose to be an upside down droop." Suddenly there was a huge sound that echo from the alter area to the hall.
"Opps! Sorry Sora!" Tai shouted from the alter area. Sora just dropped her head in her hands.
***************************************
"You guys have been great. Putting your jobs, and lives on the line for me and Kari." Tk said as they sat at a diner. Matt and Davis just smiled. "I mean you guys left came back. Got time off work. So much. Just to be here for us."
"Tk you're my brother. And… I have off from work for another two months." Matt smirk.
"And I've still been doing business. Gotta love technology." Davis smiled.
"Yeah I know… it's just… this really means a lot to me." Tk smiled.
"Takes a big man to admit something like that…"
"Guys you do realized we just had a male bonding moment." Davis said. Tk and Matt looked at him and then began laughing.
"What? What did I say?"
"Nothing, it's just great to know something's will never change." Davis sat dumbfounded, as Tk and Matt laughed.
***************************************
Kari, Yolei, and Mimi sat with green cream on their faces, and cumber on their eyes. They sat in silk robes, with their hair in a plastic cover for the hot wax. Their nails and toes had been done. And relaxation was finally taking over.
"Isn't this the life?" Kari sighed.
"Wait till you have a New York body make over. You'll die happy."
"Nah, I am with Kari, I don't get this everyday, and it's a full blown treasure."
"Right you are Yolei." Kari smiled. The staff began taking off the hardening cream masks as the girls sat up waiting for their hair to finish.
"Oh tomorrow is going to be so perfect." Mimi smiled.
"Yeah all the flowers, and the dancing, and the wines. Uh leaves me tingly."
"Yeah I can't wait."
"Well exactly 19 hours, and counting." Mimi smiled. Suddenly her cell phone went off. "Hello… hi… yeah… everything's fine… what's wrong?… Um… She's right here I can ask?… Ok hold on… Hey Kari?"
"Yeah Meems." She looked at her friend, who had a weird face on.
"You didn't want white carpets did you?"
***************************************
"Tai there's a thin line between, love and hate. Can you guess where you're standing?" Sora said the clipboard raised over her head.
"Um loved side?" Tai said meekly.
"So far from it." Sora said trying to restrain herself from hitting, her adoring husband.
"Sora… look I'll go run to the store real quickly and get some stain remover for carpeting. Ok?"
"Tai, red dye for clothes, is not, I repeat not going to come out of carpeting. Especially white carpeting!" Sora finally cracking yelled.
"I am sure you're just a little…"
"What Tai? A little what? I've been a wife for a good six years. And I have dealt with so many different types of stains I could write a damn book." Sora yelled again and then stalked to the rose canopy. "Come guys, we only have till ten tonight to finish. That's six hours."
"Man your wife is so high strung." Bob the worker said to Tai.
"Tell me about it."
***************************************
Izzy and Joe sat in front of the tux shop. Izzy looked upset, while Joe just kept shaking his head no. Sandra, Courtney, and Cody walked up to them.
"Aren't you guys suppose to be at the floral shop?"
"Yeah… but first we had to pick up the suits. Which were suppose to be done. But it seems that some lunatic came in and got the suits. And the guy who owns the place said he couldn't help us."
"You told you to get the suits?" Courtney quietly questioned.
"Kari…"
"Tk told me to get the suits, they were done around ten, so I came to pick them up." Cody said looking at the shocked expressions of Izzy and Joe.
"You did what?!" They chorused together.
"Cody I am giving you two seconds to run away…1…2!" Joe screamed as he and Izzy jumped up and began chasing the already running Cody.
"Well…" Courtney began.
"Just accept." Sandra said as she began following the running men.
"Um… just nod Courtney." She said to herself. And followed Sandra.
***************************************
"Lalalalala…" Kari sang as she and Yolei sat in the car. Mimi came out of the restaurant and climbed back into the car.
"I am sorry guys. You know how it is, when you have seven pounds leaning on your bladder." Mimi said as she settled in the front seat.
"Sadly I don't." Kari smiled.
"Sadly I do." Yolei laughed.
"So…14 more hours…" Mimi smiled.
"Oh I know. But why is it taking so long." Kari slightly whined. She received a glare from Mimi.
"Because you want to get married really really badly." Yolei said smugly from the back seat.
"Thanks for stating the obvious my dear." Mimi stated.
"Oh well… how bout you go to diner, it's already six, and we didn't even eat lunch…"
"Speak for yourself." Mimi said laughing "But let's go for dinner."
"Where to ladies?"
"The Diner." They said together. The car bursted into laughs.
***************************************
Tk, Matt, Cody, Izzy, and Davis sat at a large table, in the hotel's restaurant.
"I am glad Joe and the girls didn't mind watching the kids." Tk smiled as he ate.
"I am happy Destiny didn't throw a fit, she and Jun has been watching them all day." Davis said.
"Yeah I am surprised too." Cody laughed.
"Ok guys. It's six thirty, Mimi promised to get home by seven, and if I want to be there for when she gets in I have to go now." Matt said.
"Well would you mind dropping me off." Cody asked.
"Yeah, then you'll grab your car to drive Courtney, Joe, and Sandra too."
"Sure thing Sir." Cody smirked.
"Yeah. I'll have to be going with you guys." Izzy stated.
"No problem. Bye guys see you seven o'clock sharp in front of the church tomorrow morning."
"Bye Matt. Bye Guys!" Tk and Davis said to their retreating guest. "Well let's go upstairs. Watch something good." Davis smiled.
"What about your darling wife?"
"She has the rent-a-car." Davis said and they paid, and went back up to the room.
"I can't believe I am getting married… to Kari no less."
"We all knew you two would end up together." Davis smugly smiled.
"And how does that not surprise me…?" Tk and Davis began laughing as they walked to the elevator.
***************************************
"Kari it's nine o'clock. Go to sleep!" Yolei yelled.
"But I am not tired!" Replied a stubborn Kari.
"Well if you go to bed now, then you'll wake up early to get everything done."
"Well if I go to bed now, all I'll do is wake up every other hour!" Mimi and Matt who were in the living room sighed as they listened to Yolei and Kari.
"At this point, you would think they were getting married." Matt sighed to his wife.
"Well…" Mimi had nothing to say to that. "Yolei! Kari! Cut it out! Yolei why don't you go help with the kids? We'll take care of Kari."
"Fine by me! Well Kari, her temper flares higher then mine when she wasn't pregnant. Think about it!" Yolei slammed the door. Kari walked in the room and sat on the armchair opposite of the couch.
"Real mature Kari." Mimi scolded. Kari just stuck out her tongue. "Oh jeez." Mimi said leaning back.
"I know you want to see Tk… and that's fine, he wants to see you too. But just think of how it will be when you two see each other's faces tomorrow at the alter. You don't want that taken away do you?" Matt reasoned. Mimi looked at him a bit surprised.
"No… I'll wait…" Kari said and went into her bedroom.
"Well Matt that was very… well done." Mimi said smiling at him. She then leaned in a gave him a kiss. "Well I'll be in our room. Guard the front door with your life. Sora and Tai will be home at around ten o'clock."
"Ok. I love you."
"I love you too." And then Mimi disappeared into her own bedroom.
***************************************
"Tai I don't want, nor need to talk to you." Sora said as she walked in holding Raye. Tai walked in after her holding Tommy.
"Well we finished the job, just be happy we got that far."
"Tai you broke the canopy, and the knocked down the alter… twice. Spilled red dye on the white carpet, and broke one of the flower vases. You spent $500 on everything that went wrong…" Sora sneered at him.
"Well I see you two had fun." Matt smirked from the living room."
"Oh yeah tons!" Sora said and took Tommy in her arms. "Your staying here, on the couch, or maybe Mimi and Matt will have the heart to let you stay in their room. I don't care." Sora again sneered and went to her room, with the kids.
"Wow you messed up badly." Matt said and again leaned back into the couch. "Mimi's staying with Kari tonight. You can share my room. We have two blankets. I'll have one, you have the other." Matt smiled.
"Thanks buddy. Wow is she ever angry? I tried to help with so many things but just kept messing everything up."
"Tough break. Well come on it's ten forty. We might as well go to sleep."
***************************************
~WEDDING~
"OMG!" Kari squealed excitedly. Yolei was putting on her pearls. Mimi was fixing the make-up. Sora was fixing the dress, and the hair stylist, had just finished his master's piece.
"Oh Kari you look beautiful." Mimi sighed.
It was true. The dress fitted perfectly, from the spaghetti straps, to the tight waist, to the ballroom bottom. Her hair was pulled back into a French twist with curls framing her face, her make –up done lightly, and the perfect pearl set.
"I thought I never see the day…" Everyone turned to the new voice. Kari's eyes opened in shock.
"Mom…"
"Will everyone excuse us please?" The room fell silently, then quickly obeyed the woman's wishes and ran out of the room. "What you think I miss my own Daughter's wedding…?"
"I didn't know you still had a daughter." Kari said as she stepped off the small platform and sat down at the vanity.
"That was hurtful." Mrs. Kamiya sadly said.
"So is going against your mother's will to be happy…" Kari shook her head and began putting on her veil.
"Let me help." Mrs. Kamiya took the crown and placed in perfectly on her daughter's head. She then smoothed the veil to utter perfection for her daughter. "I don't know why you ran away. I mean…"
"How can you not know? I wanted to be free. I wanted to fly away from the nest." Kari sneered.
"Well I am sorry you felt like that. I wanted to keep my babies in that nest. I wanted to be able to go over and hug them any time I wanted. I wanted to be able to know where they were, and if they were safe! And since I had lost Tai, I didn't want to lose you too!" She broke down and tears flowed down her face.
"Well suffocating me, and locking me only made it worse."
"Don't you know I realized that?! After you left I only came to the realization that not only did I lose Tai, I lost you too! I had lost both my babies! And it wasn't so much Tai I pained to see. It was you. Because I knew then I might never forgive myself. And when I heard from your brother you were getting married, I knew that I be the first to be here. Because for five years I have not seen you, heard from you, been able to hug you. And that cannot go on. I will not have it! So if you expect me to sit through that wedding knowing you still hate me, and that I am still going to blame myself for another five years. Your wrong! I want to see my daughter get married, and know she's happy that I am here!"
"Mom…"
"And I am not leaving this room till I get a hug, and give my daughter a proper apology."
"Oh mom, you just did." Kari went and hugged her mother, she began to sob. "I am so sorry I ran away that night."
"I am sorry for not letting you have done it sooner." The mother and daughter stood hugging each other for a few minutes. After they were done, Mrs. Kamiya helped fix Kari's make-up and they had one last hug. Kari smiled and opened the door. As she opened. Sora, Yolei, and Mimi stood with their ears pressed to the door.
"Oh hey Kari!" They chorused.
***************************************
"Tk stop fidgeting. The wedding is started in ten minutes." Matt whispered.
"Yeah Tk. Cool your jets." Tai whispered from next to Matt.
"There must be five-hundred people here." Tk stuttered silently.
"And obviously you know the entire left side of the damn church." Matt clenched his teeth.
"Don't curse in a church." Izzy scolded from next to Tai.
"Shut up!" Matt and Tk whispered.
"Jeez…" Izzy muttered.
"Guys. Shush. Five more minutes. Just stand and smile." Tai whispered as the boys smiled with their hands folded in front of them.
The five minutes slowly passed. Beads of sweat began forming on Tk's head. And then suddenly the bride's song came on. First the bride's maids came out. Yolei was the first in the ice blue dress, and pink roses. She walked down a bright smile on her face. As she approached the alter she gave a wink to the boys. The next one to walk down was Sora. Her bright red eyes shone with pride. She walked next to Yolei and gave the guys a bright smile. Tai blew her a kiss. Next was Mimi. She walked steadily down with Kari's mom hold her arm. The boys' jaws dropped to the floor. Mrs. Kamiya smirk. When she got to the alter she gave Mimi a kiss on the cheek and then lightly patted her stomach. She then winked to the boys.
Finally it came. The whole church stood as the Wedding March came into play. Tk looked down to the doors. The large French doors opened widely. Everyone turned his or her heads. Kari and her father began walking down the long hall to get to the alter. Kari's arm was linked with her father's and left hand held the beautiful white roses. She smiled, as tears lightly rolled down her face. She literally shined with a brilliant light. They had finally reached the alter. Kari's father raised her veil and kissed her cheek, he then shook Tk's hand. With that done Kari and Tk linked arms and went back to the preacher.
"Who here gives this fine lady away?" The preacher smiled.
"Her mother and I do." Mr. Kamiya smiled and went to sit next to his wife.
"Today we will be joining Kari Lynn Kamiya's and Thomas Kevin Ishida's hand in marriage. If there are any objections please speak now or forever hold your peace…" No one dared to contradict the marriage. The preacher smiled. "If there are no objections, we shall begin. Today will be the start of a new life for Kari and Tk…"
***************************************
"Do you Thomas Kevin Ishida take Kari Lynn's hand in marriage, through sickness and through health. Through richer and through poorer, as long as you both shall live?"
"I do."
"Then repeat after me… With this ring I thee wed."
"With this ring I thee wed.
"And do you Kari Lynn Kamiya take Thomas Kevin's hand in marriage, through sickness and through health. Through richer and through poorer, as long as you both shall live?"
"I do"
"Then repeat after me… With this ring I thee wed."
"With this ring I thee wed."
"With the powers vested in me I pronounce you man and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Tk leaned down and they began kissing. "Ladies and Gentleman Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Kevin Ishida." Everyone began clapping, and cheering. But the whole world seemed to be lost to the lovers.
***************************************
Kari and Tk kissed as their guest danced around at the reception hall. Tai and matt snuck up between the two. Tai grabbed Kari from behind and gave her a kiss on the cheek, While Matt pulled Tk back to give him a noggie. Mimi who had a camera got a shot of that, and then a shot from Tk's and Kari's revenge.
"Well how does it feel to be married?!" Yolei shouted to Kari who she was dancing with.
"A lot like being single!" Kari laughed.
Mimi, Sora, and Tk sat at the long Bridal Table. Tk took a sip from the wine in front of him.
"Haha! Well don't you feel better!" Mimi said to him.
"Never BETTER!" Tk shouted and then got up to dance with his lovely bride. Yolei saw him and twirled Kari around once so that she was faced with Tk.
"I LOVE YOU!" She yelled.
"I bet not half as much as I love you!" Tk whispered as they kissed and began dancing. Everything was perfect.
***************************************
"Jeez what a night." Sora said as she walked into the kitchen. Tai came behind her and draped his arms around her neck.
"You were dancing pretty hot though."
"I am sure you noticed that." Sora kissed him.
"Save it for home!" Matt smiled as he walked in.
"Oh please…" Tai stuck his tongue out.
"Good Morning." Kari smiled as she and Tk walked out together.
"If it isn't the newly weds!" Tai yelled.
"Why must there be shouting?" Mimi said.
"Cause it's a joyous morning."
"I guess…" There was a knock at the door. Kari went to get it.
"Good morning ya'll!" Yolei said with Izzy and Nina. Ken followed with a smiling Serene.
"Good Morning!" Tai saluted.
"Shove it Tai." Izzy said holding his head.
"Shove what Daddy?" Nina asked innocently. Yolei looked at Izzy with a little less of an unamused face.
"Pancakes dear… Uncle Tai should shove pancakes in his mouth." Nina just smiled.
"Good one Iz" Matt said.
"Why don't you all get changed and stuff? We only have a few more days with each other." Kari smiled. The other's agreed.
***************************************
Kari, Tk, Matt, Sora, and Tai sat around in the living room talking. They began laughing have a good old time.
"Oh so then she says… But dear I thought that was for the dog…" The room bursted out with laughter.
"Do you have like an end to those jokes?" Tk laughed. Tai shook his head. And the room continued to laugh.
"Oh my, this has been the best few months of my life…" Kari said wiping away the tears from laughing so hard.
"Mine too. We should really move closer to you guys…" Tk laughed.
"Well which guys… New York or Michigan?" Matt smirked.
"I think they should move closer to us." Kari laughed, as the others followed suit.
"Um… guys I hate to bother you like this but um…" Everyone turned to Mimi who had a look of pain on her face. "I think I am in labor…"
Danielle: HI AGAIN!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee! That was FABULOUS if I do say so myself.
Mika: She's only like eight months… mphf mmfhp pphmf
Danielle: SHUT UP! ANYWAY Well not to shabby of a cliff hanger if I do say so myself.

Danielle: Can't a gal get some decent muses for herself… ANYWAY again…. I hope you all enjoyed the fic. I got the Mimi stopping for the bathroom from my mom's friend who's pregnant.
