RUNAWAY
Sora stretched, then turned to look at Taichi, still asleep beside her. She smiled briefly, remembering the last hour & a half before they'd fallen asleep. Attempting to see the clock over her husband, she realized there was time to have a nice shower before she went to pick Megumi up. Sliding out of bed, she bit her lip as Taichi stirred then decided on a quick shower. There was still a lot for them to talk about before Megumi came home, & not much time. Hopefully he'd be awake when she was done.
10 minutes later Sora stepped out of the bathroom, fluffing her hair her hair with her towel. Taichi was still asleep, meaning they weren't going to be discussing anything. Turning to her closet with a sigh, she could have sworn she heard Taichi move. Turning around Sora saw that he had only moved in his sleep. She turned back to the closet & 2 seconds later was grabbed around the waist by what she recognized as her husband's arms, & realized the game he was playing.
Sora reluctantly slid away from Taichi & turned to face him. "Not now," She protested. "I have to get dressed & pick up our daughter. Later, after she's convinced that we're a normal family again, & asleep, other. things can happen." Taichi pouted but accepted his defeat & grabbed his clothes from the foot of the bed. That action caused Sora to realize that she was wasting her time looking in the closet. Her clothes were right there beside Taichi's.
Feeling both a little foolish, & her husband's eyes on her, she got dressed, did the other assorted feminine things we ladies feel are required before going out, kissed Taichi goodbye & was gone. The latter sat on the bed, thinking. This was more like what he'd been hoping for, but Megumi still had to be brought to terms with it all. For the first time Taichi wondered if a subconscious reason for leaving was his equally subconscious unwillingness to be a parent. He didn't feel like facing Megumi.
His stubborn side came through. There wasn't just him in this family! Megumi needed a father figure in her life, & Taichi'd be damned if he was going let Yamato be said figure. He could do this. He wasn't a teenager anymore. He was going to have to live up to his respons- The brunette suddenly realized he sounded like Mrs. Takenouchi when she'd lectured him on his & Sora's wedding day, right before the ceremony.
That speech had pissed him off, almost ruined the wedding for him. He hadn't been marrying Sora with nothing. They both had jobs, & were getting an apartment. Now he realized that his mother-in-law was only worried about her only child, & would have said that to anyone. He hadn't been singled out. Confused, Taichi stopped thinking. What had his train of thought been again? On yes, Mitsuko. Taichi took a deep breath, then began mentally planning what to say to his only offspring.
During dinner, an uncomfortable silence reigned. Finishing off his plate, Taichi turned to Sora. The redhead understood without a word & left the room. Mitsuko tried to follow but Sora shook her head & wheeled her around back to her father, then left the two alone. Taking a deep breath, Taichi started in on his speech, suddenly feeling inadequate. About halfway through a word Mitsuko walked to him & hugged him tightly. Taichi could feel tears through his sleeve & returned the hug with as power as he dared to. Sora walked in, looked at them & joined the hug. Together. A family again.
And I'm ending it there because I lost interest. Sorry for the crappy ending. I'm working on a new fic that should be better & more detailed then either of my current 2.
