"What do you want," Matt asked.
"Matt...you need to know that you..." she started,but broke off.
"What?" Matt asked.
"You...you...have a son!" Mimi choked out. Matt's eyes widened.
"WHAT!!!!!!!!!" Matt yelled, jumping to his feet. Had his ears decieved him? Did Mimi just tell him that he had a son?
"You have a son," Mimi said slightly braver now that she said it out loud.
"Y-you're not serious! Y-you can't be! I-I can't!" Matt denied. He was scared.
"I'm not joking Matt. You have a son. You are a father," Mimi said quietly. Matt stared at her dumbly.
"N-no! We're s-sixteen! We can't!" Matt tried again.
"Matt, I have never been more serious in my life," Mimi said.
"I...a kid...we," Matt struggled to get his voice back,"W-When?"
"Before we broke up a year ago. I found out I was pregnent after you left. I had him on August first, before we had to face the Digimon Emporer," Mimi explained. Matt was stunned.
"A-August was six months ago. I-It's January now," Matt stated. How could he be a father for six months and not know about it?
"He's six months old. He looks and acts a lot like you. I'm not too sure if that's good or bad yet," Mimi told him.
"He?" Matt said.
"His name is Dominic Yamato Ishida-Tachicawa. Here's a picture," Mimi said, handing Matt a picture of a baby that was only a few months old. He looked at the little boy in the picture and knew Mimi was right; he did have a son. The baby had little blond tuffs of hair, an angelic face, and steely blue eyes. Matt's eyes. Matt choked back a sob and clutched the photo tightly. He had been this little boy's Daddy for six months and he never knew.
"W-Why-" Matt struggled to find his voice and when he did it was filled with hurt,"W-Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was scared, Matt. I was scared you'd hate me and him. I didn't want you to know, but I knew you had to. I was terrified when I found out I was pregnant. I checked out an abortion clinic, but it was scary. I couldn't bring myself to kill another human being, especially my own flesh and blood. I thought I could put him up for adoption, but from the moment I first held him, I knew I never wanted to let him go," Mimi explained. That took Matt to another topic.
"W-What was it like? When he was born?" Matt asked.
"Well..."
(flashback)
Nine-months pregnant, Mimi slowly made her way to the washroom. The baby must have thought her bladder was a squeeze toy. As she sat on the toilet, she realized her water broke. When she sat up, she felt a sharp spasm of pain in her abdomen. A contraction.
"MOM!!" she screamed. Her parents rushed her to the hospital where she was prepped to give birth. The contractions came without mercy and were welcomed by Mimi's echoing screams. Finally the doctor gave the word to have her wheeled into the delivery room. She was scared and very much alone. Well, not totally. When the doctor gave the word, she pushed with all her might. It hurt unlike anything Mimi could ever imagine. After what seemed like an eternity, she heard a sound so beautiful that she started to cry.
"Waaaahhh!!!" her newborn son cried as he took his first breath of air. The doctor wrapped the baby boy in a blanket and handed him to his mother. She held him gently and cried. For that moment, everything seemed perfect.
(End flashback)
"And that's how it happened," Mimi explained. Matt was in awe, but yet... he missed the birth his own son. What if sometime in the distant future, Dominic asked Matt how he was born? That is, considering Mimi would let Matt be part of Dominic's life.
"C-Can I see him?" Matt asked. He wanted to spend time with his child. He wanted to know what Dominic liked and disliked. Matt wanted to know his son.
"I have a feeling I couldn't stop you if I tried," Mimi smiled,"but bear this in mind Matt, I want you to think about it. I don't want Dominic to get hurt because of all of this. I'd better get going," Mimi exited the way she came in, leaving Matt to let out all those tears he struggled to keep in the whole time Mimi told him about his child.
He didn't know how long he sat on the floor, his back agaist the sofa, crying. Everytime he looked at Dominic's picture, he felt a wave of sorrow. He felt like he betrayed his son, somehow. He wasn't there for the first few important things in his child's life. Just like his own father. Where was Matt's father now, when Matt needed him the most? Matt's dad was never around when he was a kid. Paul Ishida(an: i dont know his real name, so i made it up) worked all his life. He never had time for his children. Matt remembered when he was at his first baseball game. He had looked to the stands every so often, but all Matt saw was his mother and little brother. Paul Ishida had promised his son he'd be at that game, but he didn't show. Matt had been let down so. Thinking of that ball game made Matt cry harder, but it was that thought that told him something: he'd never be like his father.
A little while later there was a knock on the door. Matt dried his eyes and opened the door to reveal his girlfriend, Sora Takenouchi.
"Matt, didn't you remember our date-What's wrong? Are you alright?" Sora asked concerned. It looked like Matt had been crying and what he did next confirmed it. Tough-Guy Matt Ishida broke down and sobbed on Sora's shoulder.
