Chapter 6
A/N: Moshi Moshi
Well since I start summer session tomorrow- I decided to post another chapter. Hopefully I won't get bogged down with lots of homework- I hope to have time to type the other fics I've been working on and meaning to get up.
Oh well- shit happens and then you die (isn't that a great motto to live by??)
Anyway- I've been keeping busy with work and a great new resource for anime- Why didn't someone tell me that my international channel was an anime heaven??? It plays like seriously an hour or more of great animes every night! Tonight it's DB GT- never watched that before- I've seen Db & DBZ- so this should be interesting and then Slayers is on… Just what I need to end this crappy weekend on a good note!!! So because Kate's happy you all get another chapter!

Sora felt like she had been hit in the head with a hammer. The throbbing had caused her to wake from what felt like a glorious dream. Taichi had come back to her and he had told her he still loved her. But she had already had this dream often, and knew how it ended… she woke up in her father's apartment a world away.
But this time something seemed different. She wasn't in her bed. It wasn't the same. Also there was a warm hand holding on to hers. She opened her eyes slowly in order to readjust to the lighting. The first thing she had noticed was the hum of machines and the dripping of an IV.
'I must have fainted again.' She thought. Giving off a slight groan Sora tried to sit up but was unable to because a large mass of brown hair laid near her enlarged belly.
Her movements caused the hand that held hers to squeeze hers. And the mass of hair to move as well. Before she knew it Sora was face to face with deep chocolate orbs.
All she could do was blink in disbelief.
"Sora? Are you alright?" His voice came. It was exactly like she remembered it, except it sounded tired.
His hand reached out for her chin, but she quickly turned away.
"Sora? Sora, please…"
"You can't be real… I've dreamt this so many times. But my Taichi doesn't love me. He didn't want me…" She began to cry. Tai had never seen her so… weak before.
"Do you want this to be real?"
"With all my heart." She whispered into her pillow as she let her tears stream into the cool fabric.
"Sora, then it is real. I'm real, see?" He said as he touched her face, drawing it to look him in the eyes. "I never meant those things baby. I would never stop loving you. I love you even more now being without your smile for all this time." He smiled at her.
Her face was still expressionless, until it contracted in pain. Her hands went on her stomach as she groaned.
"What's wrong? Sora, you have to relax. Just breathe. The baby isn't ready to come yet." Tai told her as he placed his hands over hers.
"It hurts." She whimpered. "It hurts so much…"
"I know. I know. I'm sorry to put you through all this Sora." He told her as he kissed her forehead.
Sora seemed to calm down and the pain lessened. Tai wiped some sweat off her face.
"I didn't want to be a burden… that's all I'll ever be to you Taichi…"
"Nonsense. You could never be a burden. I want to be here for you. I love you Sora. And I love our baby inside you."
"You… you do?"
"I do. Please Sora. Forgive me. I will go to my grave trying to make up for all the pain I've caused you. If you will give me a chance to."
It was finally registering in her mind that this was the real thing. Tai had really come halfway around the world for her and their child.
But to Tai- the silence was taken as a sign Sora didn't feel the same. Dropping her hands he suddenly turned and began to leave.
Sora didn't understand. 'Where is he going?' She wondered.
"Goodbye." She heard him whisper to her.
"NO!" She cried as she tried to get up out of bed, causing the IV holder to crash to the ground. "No Please… Taichi…" She cried out to him.
The ruckus caused Tai to turn around and see her distress.
"Hush… Sora- I won't go. You need to calm down. This isn't good for the baby." Tai tried to soothe her.
The doctors ran in the room after hearing the screams. Giving Sora a mild sedative to let her rest, the doctors got her under control.
"Doctor- is Sora and the baby going to be alright?"
"Who are you?" Sora's doctor inquired of the strange looking man.
"I'm the father." Tai explained with a worried smile.
-
"Are you sure you have to return?" Mimi said holding back tears at the airport terminal.
"We have to go back, we're sorry Mimi." Kari said giving her friend a hug.
"But you'll all come back and visit right?" Mimi asked looking at Tai.
"We'll have you flown out after the baby arrives." Tai reassured her as he took Sora's bag. "I'll get that for you."
"Thank you." Sora smiled back at him. The creamy color had since returned to her skin. They had spent a good two weeks there in New York, getting Sora back into better health.
Tai never left her side all the while they were there. He had told them he had missed enough of her pregnancy, and that he would not miss anything else.
Sora had begun eating more often and was a healthy weight for an expecting mother.
"Thank you for everything Mimi. If it wasn't for you…" Sora started tearing up as she gave Mimi the best hug she could with the large belly she had.
"Oh Sora! You're my best friend! I love you so much." Mimi returned the hug.
"Um guys- I think our plane is boarding…" Justin smiled and pointed to the people entering the plane.
"Bye daddy." Sora said as she finished embracing her father.
"Say hello to your mother for me. And I'll come and visit in a few months." He said giving his daughter a kiss. "You," he said as he turned to Tai. "I expect a very happy mother and baby the next time I see you."
"Don't worry Mr. Takenouchi, I'll take good care of them." Tai reassured him with a hand shake.
"BYE!" They all said as Kari, Justin, Tai and Sora all boarded the plane.
"It's good to be going home…" Sora sighed as Tai got her a pillow to lean against in the seat. "I wonder if mother will have room for a crib when the baby comes."
"Let's not worry about that now. Besides I have a big surprise for you when we get back." Tai smiled.
"You do?" She replied. "You didn't have to Taichi."
"I did. Sora, I owe you the world, and I at least intend to make things up to you. We can start by putting this back where it belongs." He smiled as he held up the promise ring. Slipping it back on to her finger he gave her a sweet kiss. "Now go to sleep. It's a long flight and the both of you need rest."
-
"Can I open my eyes now?" Sora asked as she held her hands on her eyes.
"No not yet," Tai smiled mischievously. "Here, allow me." He said as he picked her up and carried her a little ways causing Sora to giggle.
"What have you got up your sleeves Mr. Kamiya?"
"Oh nothing much… I guess you'll just have to wait a little longer." He teased as he held her close.
"Are you going to put me down? I'm as big as a house- I've got to be heavy." Sora said to him.
"You're not heavy, and you are not as big as a house. You're beautiful Sora, and don't ever forget that." He said as he kissed her lips. "Alright, now slowly open your eyes." He instructed her.
Sora did as she was told. What she saw amazed her. They stood in a nice looking apartment. It was neatly organized, nothing much decorated the shelves and walls, but in a corner sat a whole bunch of baby things.
"Taichi… what is this all?" Sora asked as he set her down on her feet.
"The bathroom is in here and then the kitchen and dining room are over there." Tai gave her the tour. "And last but not least the nursery that connects to the master bedroom." The smile on his face had not left since he entered the apartment. "So what do you think?" He asked as they stopped in the bedroom.
Sora stood silent. 'This was Tai's apartment?' She questioned. 'It had to be…he wanted… he wanted her to move in with him?'
"I can set the spare bed up in the nursery if you don't want to move to fast. I understand." He said taking her hands. "We can change anything you want- a different color for the walls, anything, it's…"
"Taichi?" She stopped him from going to far.
"I just wanted us to be all together…" He whispered.
"Oh Taichi!" She smiled as she launched herself into his arms. "It's perfect… everything is." She said as she hugged him tightly.
"I'm so glad you like it. I was worried you didn't want to live here. Sora, I want you here with me forever. I've been saving up for as long as I can remember to buy us a place. And now with the baby it was the perfect time. When you left, I thought I had lost my world. I'm never going to let you go, ever again." He told her.
"And I don't ever want to go away from you again. I love you Taichi."
"And I love you Sora, both of you." He replied with a passionate kiss, caressing her swollen abdomen that was carrying their first child.
