:::Riku's POV:::

I picked Kairi up into my arms as we ran for cover into the shelter of the hospital. A blond haired nurse was at the front desk filling out paperwork.

"Mam please my wife is having a baby!" I yelled out as several people in the waiting room looked at me like I was crazy. The nurse gave us a calm gaze as water dripped from my silver locks which trailed down my face from the rain. Suddenly Kairi yelled out another painful scream from the birth pains.

"Please hurry!" I yelled out impatiently. My face started to turn a pale red from anger and frustration.

"Hold on one moment ,and I'll inform the doctor and get a few nurses to assist your wife." she replied then walked down the hall and then returned with a couple of nurses rolling a wheel chair down the hall. I placed Kairi in it and we started off down the hall. They soon got her dressed in a hospital gown then they stuck an IV in her skin ready to deliver our twins. They told me to leave for about ten minutes so they could set up everything else. This gave me the perfect time to call Umi and Sora. I made my way down the hall until I reached the payphone. I placed the correct amount of change into the phone, dialed the number ,then waited for a reply.

:::Umi's POV:::

Sora and me sat our table listening to the rain fall outside sipping our coffee until we heard the phone ring.

"I'll get it." I replied to Sora as I got up from my chair. He only nodded as he took another long drawn out sip of his coffee. I pushed raven locks as I picked up the phone.

"Hello?" I said as I spoke into the receiver.

"Hey it's me Riku... I'm at the hospital with Kairi...She's went into labor ,and will have her twins shortly." the voice replied back.

"Really but she's just seven months!?" I yelled back frantically.

"I know..." Riku replied back in a low tone of a bit of worriment in his voice.

"We'll be there shortly!" I replied.

"Ok bye!" he said and then I hung up.

"What was that all about?" asked Sora taking another sip of his coffee.

"We have to meet Riku at the hospital! Kairi's having her baby!" I replied as I got my coat and I tossed Sora his.

"Oh my!" he yelled back as he frantically put it on and grabbed the car keys. We both ran outside almost forgetting to lock the door as we got in the car and hurried off to the hospital.

:::Kairi's POV:::

I was in so much pain...I never thought it would hurt this much to have a baby and to think I had to do this twice! Oh man... I had to almost bite my lip to even keep from screaming. My heart felt better once Riku came back.

"Hey Kai..." he replied as he smiled at me gently while he took my hand in his.

"Remember to inhale and exhale as much as you can Kairi...This is very important..."replied the doctor.

"Now when I tell you to push...Push as hard as you can...Ok?" explained the doctor.

"Ok..." I replied back quickly. Boy I sure didn't like the sound of anything that doctor had just said.

"Everything will be fine Kai. Just do what he says...He knows what he's doing." Riku reassured me.

"Now push!" instructed the doctor on command. I let out a hard push screaming as my nails bared into Riku's hand. He winced but said nothing. Suddenly I felt something stretching my insides as he pushed it's way through. Suddenly I let out another painful scream ,and I then turned extremely pale and thought I would pass out as the doctor pulled the first screaming baby from my womb.

"It's a boy..." replied one nurse smiling at me as she took the screaming baby and started to clean him up.

"Just one more to go Kairi..." replied the doctor.

I soon took a good three minute rest trying to get my breath back.

"Well there's our little Kame..." replied Riku with a grin.

I smiled weakly as the doctor told me to push again...

"Here comes Layla..." Riku replied.

I pushed with all my might as the last baby came tumbling out of my body...I let out a scream ,and then I heard the sound of crying as my daughter and son were both placed into my arms...It was over...I had survived my first pregnancy... I now knew if I could undergo all that I could undergo anything. They were both wrapped in blankets. After I was left in the privacy of my room the nurse helped me get situated for feeding them. Layla suckled my right nipple and Kame my left. Riku held Kame up to my breast. Each baby was left content as they both suckled on my breast.

"Their beautiful aren't they?" I replied to Riku.

"Just like their mother." replied Riku with a tenderness in his eyes as he gently brushed his lips across mine.

I smiled at him as I looked at their hair. Kame's hair had slight traces of silver hair as Layla's hair was a silverish red. Layla had teal eyes like Riku and Kame had blueish violet like my own. Soon they both drifted off to sleep...For the night they were placed in an incubator. Umi and Sora arrived rather late.

"Hey Kai..." replied Umi as she entered the room.

"Hey..."I replied out tiredly.

"We seen the babies... We visited the nursery before we got here."proclaimed Sora as he entered in right behind her.

"They're beautiful Kai...Congratulations to both of you." replied Umi.

"Thanks...We love them both very much!" Riku chimed in.

Umi and Sora stayed half an hour talking away until it was just me and Riku left. They set up a pallet for him to sleep on. We lied there quietly in the dark...

"I can't wait until we bring them home..." announced Riku in a happy tiring voice.

"Me neither..." I proclaimed silently as we both lain there. I stared at Riku for a long time before I finally closed my eyes and welcomed sleep.

:::Riku's POV:::

Me and Kairi pulled into the driveway. We were finally home with our children...Kame and Layla. Kairi carried Kame up the steps and I carried Layla. Layla grabbed my finger. We had already bonded... That special kind of father daughter bond. We both headed to our bedroom and placed them in a basinet beside our bed. They had to sleep there until they were old enough to sleep on their own. Soon Kame grabbed Layla's hand never willing to let go ,and that's when I knew no matter what ever happened to me and Kairi they would always be there for each other. One there for the other...Nothing could separate that bond...Kairi laid her head on my shoulder as we both stood there for a long time admiring our children...The ones god had given us...Little did I know they would both grow up without their mother...Sooner than I thought to...
