:::Kairi's POV:::

I was nowseven months into my pregnancy. Today me and Riku were in the doctors office... I was getting an ultra sound. Today would be the day I found out what I was having. It was very exciting and nerve racking all at the same time... Yet I was still very happy and excited. Riku gently held my hand in his. He looked at me with beautiful teal eyes.

"You ready Kai?" he asked.

"Yes I'm very ready." I replied as I gently ran my finger tips on the back of his rough manly hand . Me and Riku had decided on two baby names. If it was a girl we'd name it layla and if it were to be a boy we'd name it Kame. Suddenly a picture of the baby popped up on the screen. The baby kicked and there were two baby's! My heart grew faint.

"Mam it appears that you're having twins...One a girl and the other a boy..." What was so special about it was they both seemed to be hugging each other. They were both protecting each other. I was soon tugged away from my happy thought of my baby's with Riku's remindence of there being two of them...

"Were having twins?" questioned Riku.

"Yep there's no doubt about it." he answered.

I then looked at Riku with tears in my eyes.

"How will we ever support two baby's!?" I questioned.

"I don't know...I'll just have to stay longer in the grove and see if Tidus's father might have a little extra work for me so I can bring home more money." he then explained.

"It must be meant to be...If not why would God have made this happen?" he questioned trying to brighten up my day.

"Some people don't even get one baby ,and we've got two on the way...Be thankful..." he added.

I smiled gently at him. He was always trying to always make my feel better and trying to take the good out of every situation. perhaps that's why I loved him so much...

Riku kissed me goodbye. He had to go back to work. He worked in the orange groves with Tidus ,and his father.

"See you later Kai have a good time with Umi!" he called out.

"I will!" I called throwing my arm in the air and waving as he got in his old beat up truck. Today me and Umi were going shopping for baby clothes. She had promised to pick me up. I'm surprised she even had time. After all her wedding was just two months away. Today it was very cloudy. The sun didn't shine at all. The sky was getting very dark which meant there was a storm brewing in the distance somewhere. I caressed my stomach as I felt one of my baby's kick. I smiled to myself as I walked back into the house. I sat down on the couch ,and began to finish knitting a pink pair of booties for each of my baby's. Layla had violet and Kame had green. Blue and Pink was just to original for dressing a boy and girl in so I decided to take matters into my own hands and do something a little bit different and special. Layla's was finished. All I had was a little bit left on Kame's. Suddenly I heard the horn of a car sounding off. Umi was here so I put my knitting away ,and hurried and got my jacket. I walked outside to see Umi pulled up. She waved at me as I felt the wind blow fiercely at me as if to hold me back. I soon made it and got in on the passenger side and shut the door.

"Hey Kai you all set for a fun day of shopping?" she added.

"Yes!" I replied becoming very excited about picking out my baby's clothes. Over the past seven months I had known Umi we had become best friends. We shared secrets,and we did almost everything together. Umi was the sister I never had and she had been for me through this whole thing just as Riku.

~*~

Umi and me had went through many shops that day. The result of it had been an armload of bags full of baby clothes. She carried most of them because I couldn't. Umi blew a piece of raven hair from her face as we entered our last store for the day. She then sat her bags down as something caught her eye.

"Oh my gosh look at this Kairi!" she exclaimed with excitement. She led me to a beautiful satin light pink baby dress with lots of frills.

"I don't know if this is the time for that or not Umi..." I explained... We were both short on cash and I knew I could never afford that beautiful dress for Layla...

Umi marveled at the price tag that read 300 munny.

"Come on let's just go..." I exclaimed trying to get her to follow me.

"No Kairi Layla must have this dress..." protested Umi as she pulled it off the rack and went to pay for it. She laid out the correct amount of munny and we both left the store. I felt really bad. I knew Layla deserved a dress like that ,but there was no way on earth I could pay for it... Me & Riku didn't have that kind of money to be spending.

"Umi I'll pay you-" I was then cut off.

"No Kai I bought this for my niece..." she explained with a smile. My heart fluttered. Tears began to well up in my eyes as I hugged the woman I considered to be my sister.

"I love you Umi..." I replied softly.

"I love you to Kai." she replied with a smile as we headed to the car. We loaded the trunk as the night greeted us. The wind had gotten stronger. We both got in the car as we headed back home.

~*~

I sorted through all my baby clothes as I put each in a drawer. I then came to the soft silky pink dress. It was so beautiful and a precious gift at that. It would be for when she was about three so I decided to put it away until she was older. Then I would let her have it. Perhaps wear it to church...

:::Umi's POV:::

I sighed as I walked through the door. On the table was a note from Sora.

:::Sora's Note:::

Dear Umi,

Hey sweetie gone out for a while but I'll be back later.

Love,

Your Honey Bun Aka Sora ;)

:::End of Sora's Note:::

I sighed as I heated the coffee pot and poured myself a hot cup of it. Steam rose from the top. I took a sip and sighed as the warm mellow liquid flowed down my throat soothingly. I went back to earlier today. I was happy I had got Kairi that dress. You should've seen that look on her face. It was priceless. I'm glad I could be a good friend and help out. That baby deserved at least one nice dress. Kairi and Riku had enough on their hands... I knew Kairi would make most of their clothes because she had taken up sewing in her spare time since she had gotten pregnant. Riku was always working and she wasn't able to do much housework so she sewed. I was just glad I could help her out...Suddenly it began to rain...Lightning flashed violently outside... I sure hope this storm ended soon...

:::Kairi's POV:::

Suddenly it began to lightning outside then it hit me...I forgot to tie the boat back up. I had to do that or the violent ocean would carry it away. I marched out into the pouring rain as I tried to near the dock. Waves crashed against the sand and suddenly without warning. I felt my under garments become soaked. Only one thing had happened my water had broke...But how!? My baby's weren't due for at least two more months... Suddenly I cried out in pain as I fell. I couldn't move but I did manage to resist the storm by crawling into the old sea side shack... I was to far to make it to my house... I laid up against the wall freezing to death breathing in and out as I welcomed the pain of birthing...

:::Riku's POV:::

I then wiped sweat from my brow as I loaded our last load of oranges on the truck. It had began to rain. Tidus gave me my pay for the day and I got in my truck and drove home... Kairi then began to cross my mind... I wonder what she had gotten for our baby's... It warmed my heart by just thinking of it. Suddenly I pulled up as I fought the wind as I clambered into the house... Usually I would've found her knitting something and setting on the cough but I seen no sign of her anywhere. My heart began to thud beneath my chest as I called out her name.

No answer...

Nothing but an unsteady silence...

Suddenly I ran out the door as and the wind blew it back as rain began to sting my eyes as lightning flashed in the distance. I soon heard a sharp painful cry that numbed my ears. It was Kairi. I soon found her in the Sea Side shack. She was lying there eyes half shut pleading for help. I ran for her and I scooped her in my arms.

"I'm here Kairi... Everything's going to be ok." I replied softly into her ear. She acknowledged my presence with a weak smile as I threw my coat over her to keep her dry. We left the shack and drove to the hospital. It was time for everything... Today was the day my children would come to life...
