CHAPTER 8 (New Beginnings)

Ken and Miyako walked into Ken's house.

"Ken I really appreciate you letting me stay here with you."

"Miyako you're always welcome in my house." said Ken

"I hope Sora and the baby are alright" said Miyako

"I'm sure Matt will contact us later with all the information."

"Yeah your probably right" said Miyako

"Ken?"

"Yes"

"do you think we'll end up like Matt and Sora someday"

"hmm"

"Married having our first child together"

"I hope so"

"me too" Said Miyako as she gave Ken a big hug.

"Tai?" said Mimi

"hmm"

"I'm sorry"

"for what?"

"Everything that has happened, lately."

"I mean I wish we at least knew something about her murder. We don't even really have a clue. And Sora, I know how much you care about her I. . ." Mimi was cut off by Tai putting a finger over her lips

"I still have you" He said giving her a kiss on her cheek

"And nothing will ever take that away." she reassured him.

"Well" said Matt we better call everyone and tell them we are all okay."

"Yea" said Sora looking at Misty.

Matt picked up the phone and dialed Tai's number.

"Hello"

"Hey Tai this is Matt"

"Hey how are you two is everyone alright?"

"Yeah were fine. Misty checked out okay and we'll all be able to leave soon."

"Awesome, we'll look forward to seeing you guys."

"Bye"

"they should all be coming home soon."

"Hey we should decorate the baby's room for the homecoming"said Mimi

"thats a great idea!"

~Two days later~

"Ken Wake UP!!!" yelled Miyako to Ken

"It's already 9:00 we are supposed to meet Tai and Mimi and Matt's house in half an hour."

"Mmm" Ken rolled over and went back to bed.

"Get UP!!" yelled Miyako as she pushed Ken onto the floor.

"Hey!!!woah!!!" yelled Ken as he fell onto the floor.

"Ow, hey..." yelled Ken as he sat up on the floor.

"Hurry up!" yelled Miyako as she threw Ken some clothes. "Change out of your pj's and I'll meet you downstairs in 10mins so hurry up.

"Alright alright I'll be there"

Miyako walked downstairs and put on here coat and her shoes. She sat down on the couch and waited for Ken to get ready. About 10 minutes later Ken ran downstairs and grabbed the car keys. "Ready Miko?"

"Come on Gambit, beat um up" yelled Miyako

"huh?" Ken said a little confused "Not again"

"Miko...." said Ken walking in "Turn off x men its time to go"

"gesh, alright, just at the best part."

"Hey you were the one who yelled at me to get up"

"Oh yeah, hehe" she said " let's go" as she ran out the door.

"I'm drivin" yelled Ken running to the car

"I dun't think so" yelled Miyako as she ran past Ken knocking him over

"Hey!" he yelled as he got up and ran toward the door

"No way you go to slow" yelled Miyako Trying to open the drivers side door while Ken also fought to open it.

"Take this" yelled Ken as he tickled Miyako on her sides

"Hey.....no...fair..." giggled Miyako as Ken beat her to opening the door and jumped in the seat.

"Hmph" sighed Miyako as she walked to the other side of the car to get in the passenger seat.

::At Matts House::

"Argh" yelled Tai "where are they!!!"

"Calm down" said Mimi "they'll be there"

"its only 10 their only a half hour late" continued Mimi

"They better get here soon" gruffed Tai

::Knock Knock::

"bout time" said Tai opening the door

"Nice to see you too"said Miyako walking in

"Hey Mimi" said Miyako walking up to her.

"Ready to decorate, Tai and I bought a ton of new baby girl decorations and streamers."

"Awesome, Ken and I brought balloons. He's bringing them in"

"I called Izzy and Joe too. We're gonna have a welcome home party tonight"

"that's great it sounds like its gonna be fun"

"I hope so"

"Let's get to decortaing" said Mimi "pulling out decorations out of a bag.

"How cute" said Miyako as she pulled out a sign that read ;welcome home new baby; and it had a little picture of a baby on it.

"Look at all these streamers."

Just then Ken walked in the door with about 30 balloons all pink and white and Welcome new baby and such.

"Gesh Miyako how many did you get" questioned Mimi

"Hey everybody likes balloons right?" smiled Miyako "this way they'll be plenty for the entire house."

"And outside too" laughed Mimi

"I'm gonna put some music on"Miyako said as she walked over to Matts stereo hmm this sounds good as she put in a random mix of 80's songs."

::Beat it, Beat it, no one wants to be here beat it.....::

"gotta love Michael Jackson" said Miyako as she turned it up really loud to the whole house could hear it.(along with the whole neighborhood)

"Beat it , Beat it...." sang Miyako as she started to hang up streamers.

They started hanging decorations all over the house everywhere you looked there was a mix of pink and white streamers. The house defenitly looked welcoming for a new baby. Miyako was spinning around the house hanging all sorts of decorations while signing to various songs like We didn't start the fire, hotel California, and the cyclops song. Mimi was laughing and having a good time to.

^this is just what everyone need^ thought Mimi ^something to get their minds off the recent murders and get on with life^

Ken and Tai were trying to stake up a sigh that said "Welcome home Misty Rain" But it wasn't going to well

"Ken it looks better over here"Yelled Tai

"Fine I'm done arguing about where it should go put it wherever you want"

"Alright all I have to do is hammer it in" Tai Went to hit the sign and missed "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" yelled Tai as he stuck is thumb in his mouth "ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch" He yelled jumping around the yard "ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch........."

Ken fell to the ground laughing as the girls ran outside to see what was going on.

"Ken, what happend" asked Mimi

"he tried to hammer his thumb instead of the sign."

"It's not funny"said Tai

"Suck it up Tai" yelled Miyako as her and Mimi walked back in the house

"Didn't hurt at all...naa" yelled Tai back as he put his thumb behind his back.

"Gesh, like little kids"said Miyako as she shut the front door

"hey you still watch x-men and your 27"laughed Mimi

"Hey what can I say it's an addiction" giggled Miyako back.

Miyako walked into the kitchen and started reading cooking directions on the food.

"I cup flour, 2 eggs, ½ cup oil..."said miyako

"whatja makin" asked Mimi

"stuffing ....I hope" said Miyako

"Miko cooking?!?"exclaimed Ken as he walked in the kitchen.

"HEY!!" yelled Miyako back

"jk,...no really this could be bad"

"hey lets see you do better, Ken" she yelled

"cooking is so not my thing" said Ken as he walked back into the other room after getting 2 sodas.

"Hmm, I'll show him"

"...Miko?" questioned Mimi "whats that"

"It's like my pet name from him" said Miyako as she stirred the Concoction

"ic" said Mimi "how's it coming?"

"Good I think" she said "as she put the stuffing in the oven."

"I hope so" giggled Mimi "I put the chicken in the oven, and the potatoes are on the stove."

"Good now lets go see what the guys are up to."

"This place looks great" said Miyako walking into the living room.

Tai and Ken were sitting on the floor attempting to wrap a gift."

A sweatdrop appeared on the girls foreheads.

"guys" said Mimi "wrapping gifts is not your thing."

"You can say that again"said Tai throwing the wrapping paper at her

"let me do this" said Mimi walking over and sat down starting to wrap the gift.

"Didn't we already buy them a gift at the baby shower" questioned Ken

"Yeah, but at that time we didn't know it was gonna be a girl" said Miyako "we had to get Misty new girl clothes."

"Whatever you say Miko" said Ken

"What time is everyone coming" asked Tai

"around 3, because that's when Misty and Sora will be leaving the hospital to come home" said Mimi

"thats in about an hour." said Ken looking at his watch.

"Lets go check the food" said Miyako

"alright" said Mimi

They walked back into the kitchen and finished preparing the meal. (Which consisted of, (incase you wanna know)Chicken, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, and rolls)

At about ten to 3 the doorbell rang

"I'll get it" said Ken as he got off the couch and walked to the door.

"Hiya" said Izzy as he walked in the house.

"Hey Izzy" said Ken

"hi" yelled Tai from the couch.

"Hey Izzy" said Ken again

"yeah"

"I need to ask you a question."

"Sure" said Izzy walking over to a chair.

"Would you help us in the case."

"Sure but with what."

"Not much was found at the case but I'd like you to analyze what we did find."

"Sure"

"you might find something that they might have overlooked or not thought to be relevant."

"I'll do my best."

"Thanks" said Ken

Then the doorbell rang again

Ken yet again got the door

"hi Joe" said Ken

"Hey, whats up guys"

"not much" Ken said as he shut the door

In the Kitchen Mimi and Miyako set the table and finished cooking the meal. Everything looked really nice when.

"Look at the sign, Matt" could be heard from outside

"Everyone's here" said matt when he saw all the cars.

"This is just really nice of everyone" said Sora as her and Matt walked to the door. Matt opened it and they walked into their very decorated house.

"Oh wow guys" said Sora "as she walked in with little Misty.

"Hey Joe, hey Izzy" said Matt

"Hi" they responded

"Hey Sora" said Miyako walking over to here "can I hold her"

"Sure" Sora handed lil Misty to Miyako

"oh she's sleeping, perfect timing, you should put her in the bassinet so you can eat some dinner made especially by Mimi and myself"

"alright" Miyako handed Misty back to Sora and she placed her in the bassinet.

"LETS EAT!!!" said Miyako as she ran into the kitchen.

"Miko cooked this could be dangerous guys" said Ken

"hmph" Miyako growled shooting Ken an evil look

"I'm just kidding" Said Ken as he sat down next to her.

"Looks good guys" said Matt

"mmhmm" agreed Sora

They all ate dinner and continued on with the party. Everyone welcomed little Misty into the group. But then everyone started leaving and finally Tai and Mimi were the only two left and they were just about to leave.

"Thanks again guys" said Matt as he closed the door behind them

"Lets go home Mimi" said Tai

"yeah" I'm tired" said Mimi as she got into the car

"Night Ken" said Miyako giving him a kiss before she walked into her room

"night" said Ken "I love you....more than you know" he said under his breath.

Misty cried as Sora sat down on the rocking chair in the baby's room with her.

"Shh." said Sora

Matt walked into the room "Hey what's wrong Misty?"questioned Matt

"she's tired" said Sora as she began to rock her Then her and Matt began to sing her a lullaby.

Looking out on the beautiful sky all the stars in the sky this night and the moon was beautiful and full. As lights began to go out around the neighborhood and everyone went to sleep.
