Survival of Light and Hope Chapter 4: In A Single Sentence
Beep, beep, beep! TK's alarm clock went off at about 6:30. He rolled over and smashed the Snooze button, but for some reason it failed to work. He rolled out of bed, and walked slowly to the bathroom. As he switched on the light, it forced his eyes shut. He struggled to get himself in the shower. When he got in, he yelled out when the cold water hit his skin, but calmed down once it got warmer. He finished up quickly and got dressed. He sat down for breakfast, as his mother slid a plate of toast and some bacon on his placemat. He wolfed it down, brushed his teeth, put his homework in his bag and threw on his jacket. "See ya mom, I'm going to Kari's before we head off to school." "Bye, TK! Don't slip on the ice!"
As TK walked out of his apartment, his foot hit a sheet of ice causing him to fall to one knee. He didn't fall completely, but he scratched up his hand pretty bad while trying to keep himself up. When he reached Kari's she welcomed him with a big kiss. "TK's here mom! We're going to school! Bye!" "Bye, Kari! Don't slip on the ice!" she yelled back. As Kari closed the door, TK whispered into her ear, "That's good advice," as he held out his hand, revealed it all scratched and bloody. "TK, what happened?" "Ice." "Oh," Kari said, and giggled a little bit. "Here, wrap it up." She said, pulling out some medical wrap out of her bag. She always carried at least medical wrap, just in case of an accident. He wrapped it around and allowed Kari to tie the knot so it would stay on. On the walk to school, Kari judged if she should tell TK the news. She came to the conclusion she didn't want TK worrying about it during the week, so she would tell him Friday.
Tough luck for Kari, the week flew by like nothing. When Friday came, TK asked Kari what they wanted to do this weekend. Kari didn't care what it was, as long as she was with TK. "How about I rent a few movies and we stay in? I can buy popcorn!" he said with a foolishness excitement. "Sounds fun!" Kari exclaimed. But she had something else on her mind...she promised herself to tell TK tonight...that she was pregnant.
Kari's parents were going to be gone for most of the night, they were going to something that they called "Trivia Night", where a bunch of people answered questions for prizes and such. TK ran into her apartment, huffing and puffing. "I got a few movies," he said, dropping a pile of 5 or 6 on the ground. "TK, we won't have time to watch all of these movies!" she laughed. City by the Sea...The Patriot...Van Wilder...The Watcher...Old School...there were a few more. Kari didn't know what to watch. Not that she would be paying that much attention anyway. TK put in The Watcher. TK brought a bowl of popcorn out and the two of them watched the movie together. Kari grabbed TK's arm tightly when Keanu Reeves strangled his next victim. Then they watched Old School. The two of them cracked up when Will Ferrell managed to shoot himself in the neck with the tranquilizer gun. They were having a great time until the clock struck midnight. That is when Kari decided to tell him.
"TK, I need to tell you something..." she trailed off. "What is it Kari?" he asked, in confusion. Kari put her hands on her face and began to sob. "TK...I'm so sorry..." This worried him. "Kari, what's the matter? Please, tell me." Kari looked up at him. "TK...I...I'm pregnant..." The words came out of her mouth. And with those words said, TK's life as he knew it would never be the same. He could not speak. The look on his face can not be explained using words. All this done, in a single sentence. Kari sobbed ever harder and buried her face into his chest. He put his arm around her, comfortingly. "Kari...It's not your fault, it's mine." He finally said. "No, it's not. It was just...an accident. It's not your fault." Kari said. TK lifted her chin and wiped away the tears streaming down her face with his thumbs. "We'll find a way through this, Kari. Believe me. I'll do whatever it takes." He assured her. "You...You want to keep it?" she asked. "Kari, whatever you choose to do, I will stand by your decision. I love you with all my heart and I would do anything for you." Kari leaned in and kissed TK on the lips, very passionately, as a sign of their never ending love.
TK held Kari in his arms on the couch. "Does anyone else know?" he asked. "Only Sora and Mimi...Don't worry, they promised not to tell anyone else." "I think we have to tell the others...our parents and Tai..." TK said, stalling at Tai's name. He knows that Tai always treated him like a little brother. But now this, he managed to get Kari pregnant, he had no idea how Tai would look to him. He tried not to think about that right now. All he was thinking about was comforting Kari. TK had a million thoughts running through his mind. What would his mother think? Matt? What would he do for school? How would he provide for Kari and the baby?
Matt paced back and fourth in his apartment. "Calm down, please, Matt?" Sora begged him. He had the phone in his hand and was about to call Tai's house to speak to TK. "Sora...I need to tell TK. He has no idea what he has gotten himself into." "I'm sure Kari already told him, Matt." Sora responded. "...well, it is a bit late..." he said. Sora patted the spot on the couch next to her. Matt sat down and kissed her. The cordless phone fell out of his hands while Sora and he got a little more 'comfortable', as you will.
Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya slowly opened the door and witnessed TK and Kari, sleeping on the couch. Kari's head was nestled into TK's chest and he had his arm around her. Mrs. Kamiya let out a little 'awwww' sound to her husband. Both TK and Kari's parents loved the fact that TK and Kari were finally together. They've always said that since little kids that they looked so cute together. Yet, they were still to learn the shocking news.
The next morning, Kari yawned and opened her eyes. Squinting, she looked up at TK to see him smiling back at her. "Oh, TK, I'm sorry. You couldn't get up." She apologized. "That's ok Kari. I have no where to go, and there's no place in the world that I'd rather be than right here with you." "TK..." Kari said, smiling, and then kissed him. Kari's mother walked in the room. "I'm going to make breakfast really soon, kids!" "No, mom! That's ok! TK and I will go out for breakfast!" she quickly replied, trying to escape the grasp of her mother's terrible cooking. They threw their coats on and headed out of the apartment building, looking for a breakfast restaurant.
"How about this place...the 'Jukebox Diner'?" Kari asked. "Looks good to me, as long as they have Belgian waffles." TK smiled. The two of them walked in and took a seat. While they were waiting for their food, they talked. "TK, I want to keep it." Kari said. "Kari, I'll do whatever it takes to provide for you and the baby. I'll do whatever it takes."
"Come on Tai, this place looks like a dump!" Mimi whined, as Tai lead her in the restaurant. "Well," Tai said, "neither of us barely know how to make toast! This place will have to do." He said, walking in the front doors of the Jukebox diner. They were quickly seated, adjacent to TK and Kari's seat. They didn't notice them.
"My dad has friends who own businesses, Kari. He has a lot of connections in the TV business. I'll get a job and save up for an apartment. We'll never hear the end of this from our parents..." TK said.
Mrs. Kamiya was surprised to hear the doorbell ringing this early. She answered the door. "Hello, Matt! What are you doing here so early?" she asked. "Hi Mrs. Kamiya...is TK still here?" "Oh, I'm sorry Matt, they went out for breakfast. Would you like something to eat?" "Umm...no thanks...do you know where they went?" "Well, the Jukebox is the closest breakfast place in the neighborhood..." "Thanks Mrs. Kamiya!" he said, flying down the stairs.
"I'm going to the washroom for a minute," Tai said, getting up from his fairly comfortable leather booth, leaving Mimi for a minute. As he searched for the bathroom, however, he heard something he did not expect to hear. A conversation.
"TK, how are you going to do all of this yourself? I'll have to take up a job too...to provide for the baby..." "Kari, you won't have to work. I'll take care of everything. I got us into this mess and I will make sure we get out of this ok." "TK, stop blaming yourself! This was no ones fault. It just...happened." "Kari..." he said, smiling reaching over and holding her hand half way through the table. But his smile disappeared when he turned his head to see Tai's face. "What 'happened'?" he asked. But he knew exactly what they were talking about. He clenched his fists, and raised TK out of his seat by his collar. "Tai, don't!" Kari yelled. The other people in the diner turned their heads.
Matt nearly slid by the entrance to the Jukebox because of the ice. But when he walked through the doors he did not expect to see what he saw. "You got my sister pregnant?!? What were you thinking!!!" Tai yelled, shaking TK. Every head in the diner was turned toward the scene. Matt yelled in. "Tai, stop!" he said. Matt grabbed his best friend and held him back from his younger brother. "Let go of me Matt! Don't you know what your brother did to my sister?!" "Yes, I know Tai! Just calm down, please!" TK was shocked...Matt knew? Sora wouldn't tell him...he must have found out another way. Mimi rushed over. Tai pushed Matt away and charged at TK.
