Okay, here's the third chapter just like I promised. I know it's a little short, but I promise the next one will be longer. This one contains a bit of fluff, and you'll find some interesting things going on in here...hehe

Anyway, I hope you like and can you please give me some reviews so I know how I'm doing? I don't think 3 would be too much to ask for, would it? It kinda gets lonely when you're the poor misguided writer and no one tell you how your doing. How am I going to get unmisguided? Lol...

-Yeah, I don't own Digimon and never, ever will...

-How To Tell the Others...

One and a half months later....

"Ken, I'm getting fat," Daisuke moaned from where he stood at his closet mirror, a hand smoothed over his once-flat abdomen.

Without looking up, Ken said, "Dai-chan, it is too soon for that. At the most you may feel a small thickening of the waist."

"Then how do you explain the fact I can't fully button up my pants?!"

Ken finally looked up and his eyes widened as he saw the tell-tale rounding of his boyfriend's stomach. "But I have looked at the diagrams in the book. You cannot be showing this much this soon."

"But I am!" the goggle-boy wailed.

"I must call Kari. Something strange is going on."

His lover nodded, his lower lip trembling.

A few moments later, Ken heard Kari's cheery voice. "Hi, Ken! What's up?"

"Dai-chan is showing more than he should at this point in time. I am worried something may be wrong."

"Hmm. If it were me, I'd go to the doctor. But he can't since he's a guy...Do you think we could tell Izzy and Joe? I think they could help somehow."

After a minute's silence, Ken sighed. "It'll have to come out somehow. Fine, but you shall have to be the one to call."

"All right. Meet me at TK's in an hour. Bye!"

"Goodbye."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't believe my eyes, Kari! What you're saying isn't possible yet my eyes can't refute the evidence," Joe said, amazement in his voice.

Eight of the Digidestined were in Matt's room, including the three pregnant couples, Izzy, and Joe. All were staring at Daisuke.

"Hey!" The goggle-boy screeched when Joe preceeded to poke his abdomen.

"Izzy, are you done with the program yet?"

After a few more key punches, the computer whiz nodded with a grin. Joe immediately pulled Daisuke and Matt over to the couch where he hooked up wires and gizmos to them.

"Amazing, simply amazing!" his scholarly voice muttered as he read the results printing from Izzy's computer.

"What?" Everyone asked, practically yelling in their anticipation.

A glazed look in his eyes, Joe looked up and told them, "Matt and Daisuke are indeed pregnant."

"We already knew that!" Tai growled.

"And it appears that Daisuke is carring twins."

"Gah!" the brunet shrieked, jumping up and ripping the wires and gizmos off himself. "You can't be serious! One's too many as it is!"

"Under the circumstances, I believe it is, but we'll simply go around any obstacles."

Matt jumped in, "Yeah, such as how I'll have this freakin' baby!"

"Er, yes. I think that a C-section when you go into labor will work just fine."

A growl issued from the rocker's lips. "You'll just love cutting me up, you damn butcher!"

"Matt!" Kari gasped, shocked by his language.

He swiveled around and snarled, "And you, you probably caused this all, you tramp!"

"I did not! You're a jerk!"

"Don't call me that, you bitch!"

Daisuke, his mouth trembling, yelled, "Stop being mean to Kari!"

"Shut up, you big baby!"

Tears shone in the goggle-boy's eyes as he screamed, "Stop it! You'll scar my babies for life with that language! Stop IT!"

"As if I care."

Tai suddenly grabbed Matt by the shoulders and shook the blond until the anger drained from his eyes. "My God, I don't know what came over me...Kari, Daisuke, please say you'll forgive me...please!" Matt pleaded, tears in his own eyes.

The other two walked up to him and hugged the older boy, sniffing back tears. "It's okay." "I forgive you."

Joe stared at the three, an anticipatory gleam in his eyes. "Ah, mood swings..."

TK's mouth dropped open and he squeaked, "Mood swings?"

The doctor-to-be nodded in delight, causing TK, Tai, and Ken to look at their partners in fear.

Izzy, forgotten in the chaos, tried to hold back laughter. "I don't pity any of you at all...except maybe you, Tai. Matt seems the worst by far, hehe haha!"

Tai turned to look at the computer whiz and glared. "Oh, shut up."

"HEHEHE HAHAHA...."

"Be quiet!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two weeks later....

It was a Friday at lunchtime when Daisuke abruptly said, "I need new clothes."

The other five looked at him, at his midriff, and up to his face. Yep, his clothes were getting tight. They'd been tight weeks ago, but now it was definite. Clothes were a necessity.

"We can go after school. I need some baggier clothes, too." Kari told the other boy, rubbing a hand over her growing middle.

"Don't do that! Someone might see you," Matt whispered loudly, pointing to her hand.

"Oh, crap!"

"Kari, why don't you just let everyone know you're pregnant? You're a girl, so it's okay," Tai said a moment later.

"Ta-ai! It doesn't matter if I'm a girl, I can't let anyone know! They'll think I'm a slut or something."

A sheepish look came over her brother and she rolled her eyes. He was such an idiot sometimes.

"I don't think you're a slut because you're pregnant," Daisuke said.

She just stared at the spiky-haired boy. "That's because you're pregnant, too! And anyway, we all know something in the Digital World had to have caused this."

That caught everyone's attention and the six looked at each other with worried frowns. "But why would someone want to make us pregnant? Why not just kill us?" Matt asked, shoving a hand through his hair.

"Maybe they aren't strong enough to kill us yet," Takeru put in.

"Yes, I agree with TK. But also, I believe it could be because pregnancy weakens you, therefore making it easier to kill you," Ken spoke up from beside Daisuke.

"I'm not weaker!" Matt jumped up, looking angry.

Kari pulled her brother's boyfriend down and hissed, "Yes, you are! You wouldn't want to risk losing the baby going all over the Digital World and fighting!"

The blond-haired boy seemed to calm down at this and it was evident that the unwanted baby was now not so unwanted. "I can't lose my baby," he whispered in fear.

"But how are we going to fight this evil if three of us are pregnant? And I know the others can't help since they are so busy at the moment with finals coming up in a few months," Tai asked, abruptly.

"We'll just have to find a way." Determination was clearly evident in his sister's voice and the others immediately agreed.

The bell signaling lunch was over halted any further conversation the six Digidestined could've had. It was quiet teens that walked to their next classes, worry about what to do weighing on their minds.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Does this work?" Daisuke asked, coming out of the dressing room later that afternoon.

Kari looked at the loose clothing an gasped in horror. "Daisuke, you can't wear something like that!"

"Why not?"

"Because its bright green and orange! What were you thinking?"

"I just wanted to try a new style. You don't have to yell at me," the boy pouted, going back into the dressing room.

The three of them were at the mall, buying new clothes. Kari had finished already and was helping the boys. Matt knew how to dress, but Daisuke...he was clueless. She'd bet anything either his mother or sister had been the ones to buy his clothes in the past.

"I'm done," Matt walked up to her, three full bags in his arms.

She raised an eyebrow in suspicion, "You sure you bought enough? Three bags doesn't seem nearly enough."

"Do you want me to buy the whole store?" he asked, exasperated. Man, he thought buying ten full outfits was more than enough.

"No. I just...want to feel like I can still do something. I can't do half as many things as I did before."

He put an arm around her shoulders and said, "Hey, you can still do lots of things. Don't worry about it. Daisuke's the one who can play soccer anymore."

Her eyes widened, "You're right! And soccer was like his life."

The blue-eyed boy nodded, and the point of conversation chose that moment to come out of the fitting room.

"I could hear everything you guys were saying. And it's all right that I can't play soccer...I guess," the brunet said, his normally cheerful look replaced by wistfulness.

They all smiled dimly, knowing that is really wasn't all right...that nothing was all right. What were they going to do? In less than a month they'd have to leave so no one noticed their growing bellies. And they couldn't fight the evil Digimon that had caused this.

WHAT WERE THEY GOING TO DO?
