A/N: Wow- is everyone gone during the summer? I suppose they have jobs and all… Mine sure seems to keep me very very very busy- Especially since my office is being relocated… when I was helping my boss clear off his desk and file cabinets- let's just say that some of those papers were older than I was. I'm surprised we didn't find new species of dust bunnies or what ever living in there! All I can say is now I know why it takes for ever for big institutions to get anything done- they have people like my boss in there cluttering up the place with papers.
Anyway- I decided to post another chapter- even with the few reviews- but thanks for them, oh and sorry to Dark N Dreary- and another reviewer, your reviews got deleted or something- ff.net has been doing weird stuff lately… but nothing I can do about it but apologize and thank you for you continued support of my fics!
I'll shut up now ;)

Chapter 2
For the rest of the week Sora tried to tell Taichi the news. But every time she tired to- she didn't want to break the bliss they would find.
"Taichi…"
"Ya Sora?" Tai asked as he held her close. They relaxed together on the couch watching a movie.
"I… just wanted to tell you that… I love you." She said instead.
"Sora?"
"Yes Tai?"
"What's wrong? You've been very… different lately…"
"Taichi… there's something…"
"Does this have to do with last week, when you stood me up?"
"Tai! I didn't stand you up!" Sora pulled out of his arms. "I had to help my mom at the shop."
"But you have time to be with Justin and not your boyfriend?"
"Taichi, we've been through this before. You're my boyfriend. I love you and only you! We gave each other something special… I could never love another like I do you." She said as she tried to reassure him. Pulling Tai close and kissing him Sora tired to get him to relax.
"Sora…please." Tai whispered as he responded to her kisses. "You're so beautiful… Sora I need you."
A voice in the back of her head told her not to give in- but maybe afterwards he'd listen- besides she was already pregnant, so there was no further risk involved.
Giving in Tai carried her into her bedroom and shut the door behind them.
-
"Hey Sora?" A voice called into the silent apartment. Opening the door and shutting it, Justin entered.
'She has to be here- the door is unlocked and she was suppose to be here with Taichi…' Justin thought.
He walked into the living room and found the television on. After turning it off he heard muffled sounds coming from Sora's bedroom.
Justin walked over to the door and listened in on the conversation.
"So you liked that?" He heard Tai's voice growl.
Sora answered with a giggle. "Stop…Taichi… that tickles!" She said in between laughs. "YOU!" She said in a seductive voice.
Justin figured the couple was having one of their famous tickling fights like usual, so he opened the door.
He was shocked at what he saw.
"Oh my! Sora…." Justin gasped gaining the attention of Sora.
"Justin?" She nearly screamed as she pulled Taichi down to cover herself with his body.
"I'm sorry!" Justin said as he fumbled backwards and out of the room. Had he just seen right? Sora had told him before of her concerns whether or not Tai and herself were really ready for that level of intimacy. And yet she was giving herself to him again…
'Oh Sora, I hope you know what you are doing.' Justin thought as he sat down on the couch.
Sora exited the bedroom in her bathrobe, shortly after.
"Justin?"
"I was just wondering if you were coming to practice… but I guess that's probably a 'no.'" Justin said as he stood.
"Justin, I'm sorry… it's just that…"
"No- it's alright. He's more important that a good friend or responsibilities…"
"Hey don't you talk to her like that!" Tai said as he exited the bedroom in his boxers.
"And why not? You seem to be able to yell at her enough." Justin said walking closer to Tai.
Neither boy looked like they were going to back down this time. A fight was brewing. Sora needed to do something and fast otherwise they would really go at it.
"I'm pregnant!" Sora blurted out.
Justin reacted immediately- it hit Tai just a few seconds later.
"You're what?"
"I'm a little over a month pregnant, Taichi… I just found out last week… I …"
"Whose is it?" Tai asked before he thought about what he was implying.
"Taichi?!?" Sora's voice sounded deeply hurt.
"God are you stupid! It's yours idiot!" Justin yelled.
"Well how am I supposed to know? She seems to be spending a lot of time with you!" Tai spat back.
"Are you implying I've slept with Sora?" Justin nearly lost it. He didn't care if Tai insulted him, or beat him up- but no one, no one did that to his friend!
"Well I don't know!" Tai yelled back. "She gets all defensive when I ask her where she goes everyday."
"I can't believe you Taichi…" Sora said as tears welled up in her eyes. "You're saying you don't trust me?" "I don't know what to believe Sora! The baby could be anyone's…"
But before he could finish Sora slapped him hard across the face. The impact was so unexpected that it sent him falling to the ground. He looked up to find tears streaming down Sora's face.
"I loved you Taichi- you and only you. I'm having your child and this is how you react? Denying my love and loyalty to you…" her legs began to shake. "How dare you…" She turned and ran out the door.
"Sora!" Justin called after her.
"Fine- be that way! See if I care! It's not my child and I never loved you either!" Tai yelled after her. He was mad- really mad that his words never really registered with him. He just said anything to hide the jealousy, anger and pain inside.
-
Sora ran straight for the only place she could find comfort… her mother's shop.
It was true that Sora and her mother hadn't always had the best of relationships, but Sora knew for a long time that her mother was always there and loved her.
"Mother!" She cried as she embraced the shocked woman.
"Sora, what's wrong?" Her mother asked.
After hearing her daughter's story, Mrs. Takenouchi held her only child close.
"It'll work out honey… is there any doubt that Tai is the father?" "I love Taichi- he's the only one I've been with…the only one I'll ever want.. Oh mother why?" She cried. "Why does he not love me back?"
"Hush… It'll be alright. Maybe you should go visit your father for a while. Get away from everything here."
"Can I?" Sora asked as he mother wiped the tears out of her eyes.
"I'll call him- he's over in America right now teaching at a University there. We'll have you there in no time."
"Thank you… for understanding." Sora said quietly.
"Oh honey, I love you. No matter what happened or what will come. I'll always love you."
-
Sora decided to try and see if Tai would come around before she left the country. If Taichi truly didn't want anything to do with her or the child, then she decided that she would not hold him back. She loved him too much to make him feel pressured into being the child's father.
But the next day at classes was not better than the night before. Taichi was avoiding her at all costs. He wouldn't even look at her. Sora didn't know what to do.
'So it is true… he didn't love me after all…' A heart broken Sora thought. As the final class ended, Sora could take no more of the hushed whispers from passer bys. She felt like she was in high school all over again… After taking off Tai's ring, she slipped it into his locker, and gathered all her books. Running off campus, she went back to her mother's apartment where she still lived.
"Momma, I've decided… I want to go to America. Taichi doesn't want anything to do with me. I can't force him to care… I just want to leave."
"Alright. I hoped everything would have worked out. But I called your father last night and he is happy to have you come over. You can even attend classes over there for a time if you want."
"Thank you. I want to leave as soon as I can." Sora said sadly. "There's a flight scheduled tonight. I've already checked for you. Let's get you packed and I'll take you there."
-
The next day no one saw Sora at class. Taichi felt really bad about his actions. After not much thought, Tai had decided that he was going to be responsible for Sora and their child. Not only because it was his, but because he loved her. It wasn't fair for him to be upset; she was the one who would be affected the most.
After classes ended he went to find Justin and apologize.
"Look, Justin… it's really hard for me to say this, but I'm so sorry for they way I've been acting."
"Taichi.."
"I was so wrong. I love Sora, with all my heart… I don't know what came over me. I know she would never cheat on me, but my brain just sort of shut off and I lashed out at you and at her." Tai closed his eyes and sighed. "I'm so sorry."
"I forgive you Taichi. But I'm not the one who is in need of an apology. Sora's the one who needs you- now more than ever. I have to admit, I am jealous of you. Having a great girl like Sora love you so much. I will always be just a friend to her- nothing more because she loves you!" Justin said putting a hand on Taichi's shoulder.
"Thanks Justin. Friends?" Tai asked offering his hand to Justin.
"Friends." Justin replied shaking Tai's hand.
"So, have you seen Sora today? I've been looking for her- I've called her house too and got no answer." Tai asked. "I need to get things back to the way there were."
"I haven't seen her either- I'm kind of worried about her. It's not like her to skip school. Even when she's sick…"
"Well, I'm heading over to her house now, and then I'll stop by the flower shop- maybe she needed to get away from me for a while. I understand how she might hate me after what I said and the way I acted yesterday."
"She'll never hate you Tai- she loves you."
The boys parted ways on peaceful terms. Tai was glad Justin forgave him, now all he had to do was make it up to Sora.
Anyway- I decided to post another chapter- even with the few reviews- but thanks for them, oh and sorry to Dark N Dreary- and another reviewer, your reviews got deleted or something- ff.net has been doing weird stuff lately… but nothing I can do about it but apologize and thank you for you continued support of my fics!
