Survival of Light and Hope

Chapter 3: The Test

Last night was the most amazing night of TK and Kari's life. The best Valentine's Day they've ever had. TK proposed to Kari, though they're only fifteen years old, they knew that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with one another. TK used four months worth of allowance to set up for last nights events. After the boat ride, the two of them enjoyed the rest of the night before departing and heading home with smiles on their faces. Soon after which, though, Kari felt the pains in her stomach again. She noticed that the pains were getting a little worse, and the Tums weren't helping at all. She thought about that night TK and herself spent together back in January at his house. 'Could I be...pregnant?' Kari thought, almost bearing not to say the words.

TK on the other hand had no idea. Kari hadn't made her stomach pains noticeable to anyone else yet. TK hadn't planned on telling his parents that he and Kari were engaged anytime soon. He knew his mother, and he knew that she would flip out on him, that she would accuse him of not being mature enough to make a decision like that yet. But TK and Kari were much more matuer than anyone else their age. The fact alone that they have been saving the fate of two worlds since they were eight years old gave them a heavy responsibility and made them more mature thatn anyone their age could possibly expected to be. TK and Kari decided to keep their engagement on the down lo from their parents, but they planned to tell the other DigiDestined. TK didn't know how Tai would take the information, but TK respected Tai too much to keep this from him. TK looked up to Tai just like he looks up to Matt. The two of them lead teh original group of DigiDestined together. Just like Davis and TK lead the second group of DigiDestined using teamwork. TK was going to tell them all today.

"I wonder what TK and Kari need to tell us so badly," Izzy wondered, along with the rest of the DigiDestined who waited at the park for the two of them. It was 12:30PM, and everyone was there except for the two of them. Finally, TK and Kari arrived with one another, holding hands. "Hey guys," he started off. "Hey TS, whats so important? I'm gonna miss lunch with Kristine!" Davis exclaimed. "Me and Kari have an announcement to make," TK said, smiling and looking at Kari as she looked back at him. She finished off his sentence. "TK and I are engaged."

"WHAT?!?!" Tai yelled out. "Oh my god!" The girls all yelled out. The others were shocked as well. "Are you NUTS?! You're only fifteen!" Tai yelled. "Tai, we love each other and thats all that matters!" Kari yelled back at her older brother. "TK..." Tai started, "Do you have any idea what you're doing!" "Tai, I know you're upset, but I want to tell you that I love your sister with all my heart and I would do anything to take care of her," he said, as he grasped onto Kari's hand, "and that I respect you too much to keep this a secret for you. So that's why I wanted to tell you." Tai suddenly calmed down. His face went from red, back to normal. "TK..." Tai said, as he walked up to TK, "Sorry, I overreacted. If there is one guy out there meant for my sister, it's you." he said, smiling. TK was relieved. "Congratulations, you two." Tai finished. "Yeah!" everyone else yelled. Matt walked over and patted his brother on the back. "Way to go, bro!" "Thanks, Matt." TK responded. The rest of the DigiDestined congratulated them, then they were on their way. "Hey you two," Tai said, "Matt and Sora are coming to my apartment after to have dinner with Mimi and I, if you two wanted to come too, that would be cool." "Thanks, Tai," Kari said, "we'll see you guys later than."

After getting ready, TK and Kari went over to Tai's apartment to meet up with Tai, Mimi, Matt and Sora for dinner. Well actually, Mimi was doing all of the cooking. The six of them took seats by their partners and had dinner. The entire time, Tai and Matt were giving goofy grins to TK as Sora and Mimi were giving little giggles to Kari. The four older DigiDestined found it unbelievable how perfect the two of them were together. After dinner, Kari went into the bathroom to freshen up. "We'll come with," Mimi and Sora both said, following Kari into the bathroom. The three girls were in the bathroom cleaning up when Kari felt the sharp pain in her stomach. She clutched it with pain. "Kari, what's wrong?" Sora asked. "I'm not sure, I've been having these really bad stomach aches lately." "Uh-oh..." Mimi said, "Have you and TK...you know...?" Kari looked at her with wide opened eyes, then closed them and looked away. "Oh my God, you have!" Mimi exclaimed. "Shhh!" Sora shushed at Mimi. Mimi motioned a 'sorry' with her lips. "Kari, did you use protection?" Sora asked her. Kari shook her head, shamefully. "It was kinda just in the heat-of-the-moment. We didn't know it was going to happen. We weren't even officially together then. It just happened." Kari said. Tears began to form in her eyes as she sat down on the side of the tub. "Oh, Kari..." Sora said, comforting her, "Have you taken the test yet?" Kari shook her head. "You should," Mimi said. Mimi opened the bathroom coupboard and pulled out a pregnancy test. Sora looked at her funny. "Why do you have a pregnancy test here at Tai's apartment?" Sora asked. Mimi blushed. "What? Better to be safe than sorry."

Meanwhile, the guys were sitting at the dinner table. "I wonder what's taking those girls so long in there." Tai wondered aloud. "Oh Tai, you know girls. For all we know they'll be in there for another two hours." Matt said, jokingly. TK took another sip of his drink. "So, you two must have had a great time last night, eh?" Tai asked TK. "Yeah, now that I'm practically broke." TK said with a small laugh. "Not to mention you still owe me $200, little brother." Matt reminded TK. Matt's cell phone went off. He glanced at the name. "It's Geoff, from the band. One sec." He said, as he got up an answered it and walked down the hall. Tai looked at TK. "Look, TK. Whatever you and my sister do togehter, you two make sure you're not doing anything you shouldn't be at your age, you hear me?" Tai asked. TK gulped, then nodded at Tai. "Good."

Kari quickly took the pregnancy test in the bathroom with the other two girls. Kari felt her heart stop when a + came up. "Oh my God..." she said, and began to quietly sob. "Don't worry, Kari. We'll help you get through this. But you have to let TK know." "Please..." Kari sobbed, "Don't tell Tai..." "I promise I won't." Mimi said. Matt had just gotten off of the phone with his band member as he passed by the bathroom to hear the quiet sobbing. He put his ear against the door. But he wasn't ready for what he heard next. "I can't believe I'm pregnant...my parents are going to kill me when they find out." He heard Kari's voice said. Matt's eyes opened widely in disbelief. His little brother got Kari pregnant? That would have been the last thing he thought of. "Don't worry, Kari," Sora comforted her, "Everything is going to be all right. Be strong. Believe." Kari wiped away her tears, looked at Sora and smiled. "Thanks, you two. We should get back out there and head home." Matt quickly got as far away from the bathroom door as possible.

They rejoined Tai and TK at the table. "Everything all right?" Tai asked. "Just fine," Mimi answered. They cleaned up and everyone headed home. As night fell, they all went to sleep, except Matt and Kari. Both of them had something on their mind and they couldn't fall asleep. 'I can't believe my little brother got Kari pregnant. I'm gonna have to have a talk with him tomorrow...' he thought. Kari had a different set of questions on her mind. 'What will mym family think? What will my friends think? Should I keep it? When should I tell TK?'
