Chapter 2: A Ripped Heart
"So Sora, how's everything going between you and Matt?" Yolei asked, while looking at one of the drawing the auburn haired girl had made that afternoon
"Fine, why?" the older woman asked, looking up from the drawing she was doing
"Well, normally you draw according with your mood and, by the black and dark blue you used for this dress, I believe I'm right when I say something's wrong." Yolei replied
Sora
shook her head:
"Everything's
fine." she said "By the way, have you seen Aoshi?"
"Oh
yeah, he looks so much like Tai." Yolei replied, smilling "But
don't change the subject."
Sora
made a guilty smile:
"Nothing's
wrong."
"Right, and I'm married with Davis." Yolei said, sitting in front of her friend "C'mon Sora, tell me what's happening."
Sora looked down: she trusted Yolei with all her heart but what if, in the end, all her doubts were foolish and stupid? Could she really say to Yolei she believed her marriage with Yamato was ending?
"I'm scared..." she whispered
"Scared?" Yolei repeated, raising her eyebrow "Of what?"
"I'm
scared Matt doesn't love me, anymore."
"Sora,
what the hell are you talking about?" Yolei asked, confused
"Matt loves you, with all his heart. You know it."
"But...with everything that's happening, I feel like I'm losing him." Sora said, looking at her friend "You didn't saw the look in Matt's face, when he looked to Aoshi...you didn't saw the way he talked, before we get married, about having children...you can't see the look in his face, everytime we talk about the possibility of not having a child..."
"Wait."
Yolei interrupted, raising her hand "Why are you saying that?"
Sora took a deep breath and looked at the draw she had been doing: it was a black kimono, with a huge red rose on the skirt; simple yet beautiful.
"I don't know the reason but, we aren't able to have children."
Yolei
blinked:
"Have you seen a doctor?" she asked and Sora shook her head:
"No, I'm scared of what he can say."
"Sora, you know some women take more time to get pregnant than others right?" Sora nodded "Then maybe that's the problem."
"But,
what if is something serious?" the 25 years old woman asked
"Stop
using 'if'." Yolei started "Sora, Matt will love you
forever, even if you aren't able to have children. I know that, you
know that, hell, even Davis knows that... So stop drown yourself in
doubts."
Sora
looked at her friend for a second, before smiling:
"You're
right." she said and Yolei smiled:
"Of course I am." she replied
"I know that Matt will love me, not matter what; he said it himself."
"That's
the spirit." Yolei said, getting up "Now, lets go back to
work, because I have to go home soon."
"Oh,
want to say 'welcome home' to Ken, huh?" Sora asked and Yolei
blushed:
"Don't start..." she muttered and Sora laughed.
~*~
"What did you say?" TK asked, raising his eyebrow "I'm sorry, but I think you said Jun's pregnant?"
Matt
sighed saddly:
"That's what I said." he replied
Matt had called his brother, after a good hour trying to digest what he had been told earlier. But now, that he was finally saying the words, he couldn't help but feel it was a lot harder than he thought:
"But,
how?" TK asked, confused and Matt looked at him:
"Two months ago." he started "I was waiting for some people from NASA, to talk about my next trip to space, but they called saying they couldn't go. Well, since I was in a restaurant, I decided to eat. Right after I ordered, Jun appeared and we started talking. She didn't seemed like the crazy fan she was, and I thought she could be a good company." Matt stopped and took a deep breath "We drank to much and...I can't remember what happened next. I can only remember awaking here, on the couch."
"On
the couch?" TK repeated, raising his eyebrow again "What
about Jun?"
"She
told me she remembers about awaking up in a bed, next to me. I think
we had sex, but I can't remember."
"What
the hell made you do that?" TK asked, angry "What about
Sora? Does she know about this?"
"No." Matt answered, quickly "She can't know."
"Well,
excuse me if I think this is something that can't be keep as secret."
TK said, sarcastically "Sora is going to find out, sooner or
later."
"I
want to be sure..." Matt started "I want to be sure Jun's
pregnant and that the baby is mine."
"You're
only going to know that, after the baby is born. How do you think
you're going to keep this, without telling Sora? That's impossible
Matt, and you know it."
"She
won't find out, if no one tells her." Matt said "Please TK,
don't tell her anything. First I want to be sure, and only then I'll
tell her."
TK
looked at his brother silent, before taking a deep breath:
"This is crazy." he whispered, running a hand through his hair "What you're asking me is...I don't know...impossible. What if Jun tells Sora?"
"She won't." Matt said
"How
can you be so sure?" TK asked "This is Jun Motomiya we're
talking about; we can never be too sure about what she can do or
not."
"Please TK..." Matt started, desesperated "Don't say anything."
"Ok." TK said, after a few seconds "But, what if the kid is really yours? What will you do?"
"I
don't know." Matt said, sincerely "I really don't know."
"Are you thinking about divorce?" TK asked and Matt looked at him, before looking at his knees:
"When
our parents divorced, I made a promise to myself: I would never
divorce. No one better than we knows how painfull a separation can be
and I promised that I would never divorce. Never."
"But
this is different." TK started "It has a child in the
middle."
Matt
closed his eyes:
"That's the most difficult part." he muttered
"Are
you sure that's the difficult part?" TK asked and Matt looked at
him "Or, the difficult part is going to be when you'll have to
tell Sora the truth?"
"That
won't be the difficult part." Matt started and TK raised his
eyebrow:
"Oh?"
"No, that would be the part when my heart will be ripped."
~*~
"Matt,
I'm home!" Sora exclaimed "Where are you?"
"In
the kitchen!" Matt's voice
replied and Sora smiled:
"I knew something was in the air." she whispered, while walking towards the kitchen. When she entered, Sora wided her smile when she saw the love of her life, cooking "Hey." she said, kissing him on the cheek
"Hey, how was your day?" Matt asked
Sora shruged:
"I made some
drawings and Yolei appeared there to help." she replied "What
are you doing?"
"Chicken." Matt replied, without looking at her
"Hmm, sounds
great." Sora replied "By the way, what did Jun wanted?"
suddenly the frying-pan Matt was holding felt on the ground, scaring
both Sora and Matt, who screamed in pain when the hot object felt
right on his foot "Are you ok?" asked the auburn haired
girl and Matt nodded:
"Yeah." he
said "But I need to sit." with Sora's help, Matt sat on a
chair
"Let me give a look." Sora said, taking Matt's sock and looking at his foot "Hmm, better put some ice."
While
Sora walked towards the fridge, Matt couldn't help but look at her
back: how could he say to her that, maybe, he was going to be a
father and that the Jun was the mother? Worse, how could he even say
that, maybe, they would have to divorce? He loved her so much, more
than he could put in words but, what if they had to? How would she
take everything? 'Do you really want an answer to that?'
asked a voice in his mind and
Matt shook his head mentally:
"Thanks." he said, when Sora handed him some ice
"Now, clean this mess up." Sora said, after giving a quick peck on Matt's lips
"I can do that,
later." the blond haired boy said, but Sora shook her head:
"No, you stay there. I'll clean this in a second, and then I'll cook."
"Ok." Matt replied
"But, what did Jun wanted?" Sora asked, as she picked up a broom
"Oh...er...nothing
much. Just asked me about the next travels to space."
"Why did she wanted to know?" Sora asked, picking-up the frying-pan
"Hum...well,
you know she's a jornalist, right? Maybe she wants to do a report, or
something."
"Yeah, your
right." Sora said and Matt smiled:
"Of course I'm
right." he said "I'm Yamato Ishida, after all."
Sora looked at him,
with an eyebrow raised:
"You're right
about that." she said "There's no one more blond, than
you."
"Hey!"
Matt exclaimed and Sora giggled:
"You're so cute, when you're angry." she said, kissing him softly on the lips
"Oh really?" Matt asked, and Sora nodded "Let me show you what's cute." without a single warning, Matt kissed her full on the lips. He loved her kisses, he loved all about her. However, his heart couldn't stop aching everytime his lips met Sora's, mostly because he knew that he could be giving hopes to something, that could come to an end.
~*~
"Matt, I really have to go!" Sora exclaimed, giggling
"Oh c'mon, you're the owner of the shop, you can be late!" Matt exclaimed, putting his arms around his wife's waist
"No, I can't!"
Sora exclaimed "People need me there, Matt."
"No." Matt
replied, smiling "You're going to stay here."
Suddenly Sora turned
to him, with a serious face and Matt's smiles dropped:
"Yamato Ishida,
let go of me in this instant."
'Oh oh, she said my full name. That's not good.'
"Sorry."
Matt muttered, taking his arms of her waist but it's then that Sora
started laughing:
"Oh Matt..."
she said, between laughs and the blond haired boy gave her a confuse
look:
"What?" he asked and Sora looked at him, still laughing
"You can't be
thinking I'm mad at you." she said
"What if I am?" Matt asked and Sora stopped laughing
"Then, you're really blond." she said, before kissing him
"I'm not going
to reply that." Matt said and Sora smiled:
"Good."
she said "Because now I really don't have the strength to get
out of here."
"What about
your shop?" Matt asked, as Sora sat over his stomach
"I'm the owner, I can be late." she replied, before kissing him on the lips
"I'm think I'm turning to be a bad influence on you." Matt replied
"You have always been a bad influence on me." Sora replied
"Oh really?" Matt asked and Sora nodded "Then, what will you say about this?" grabbing her waist, Matt inverted their position
"Oh, what are
you trying to do, Mr Ishida?" Sora asked, touching his nose with
her finger
Matt smiled:
"Trying to show my love." he replied, before kissing her softly
~*~
A soft knock
snapped Matt from his thoughts and he looked around: he was in the
living-room, with a picture-album on his legs. Looking at it, Matt
saw a picture of his wedding day, next to a picture of Matt and Sora
during their honeymoon. Trying to block all the thoughts of his mind,
Matt closed the picture-album and sighed. However, before he could do
anything, other knock made him get up and walk towards the front
door:
"Who is it?" he asked
"Jun." a voice replied and Matt swallowed hard: could she have the results already?
With
a tremble hand, Matt put a hand over the lock and stops: after
opening the door his life would chance. He knew it. The problem was
that he didn't knew if it would be for better or worse. 'Open
the door, and you'll find out.' said
a voice in his mind and Matt took a deep breath, before opening the
door, and face Jun:
"Hey Jun, come in." he said. Without a single word, Jun entered and walked directly to the living-room, where she sat. After looking at her for a few seconds, Matt sat next to her "So...have you done the tests?" he asks and Jun looked at him
~*~
A brown haired man
entered in the 'Defectio Lunae' and made a wide smile, when he saw a
aurburn haired woman:
"Hey Sora!" he exclaimed "Hey Yolei!"
"Tai, what are
you doing here?" Sora asked, with a smile
Tai shruged:
"Mimi asked to
come here and invite you, and Yolei to a dinner, in our house."
"A dinner?"
Yolei asked, raising her eyebrow "Why?"
"Well, you know Mimi likes to do parties." Tai started "I think this one is because of Aoshi."
Yolei tap a finger
on her chin:
"I don't know." she started "I can't leave Akane alone."
"Well, bring
her along." Tai said "She's only your child."
Yolei raised her
eyebrow:
"A very young
child." she replied "Besides, I don't think it's good for
her."
Tai rolled his
eyes:
"Akane can stay
with Aoshi. Besides, we gave plenty of rooms."
"And why do you mean by that, Taichi Yagami?" Sora asked, putting her hands on her hips
"You know."
Tai replied "Don't twist my words."
Sora giggled:
"Ok. When's the
dinner?"
"Tonight." Tai replied
"Already?"
Yolei asked and Tai shruged:
"Say that to
Mimi." he said and Sora shared a look with Yolei:
"Why not?"
the auburn haired girl asked "I have a couple of dresses here,
we can use."
"Really?"
Yolei asked and Sora nodded, before looking at Tai:
"Ask for Kari
to go to my house. We'll dress there."
"Ok." Tai
replied "You're the boss."
Sora rolled her eyes
and Yolei giggled:
"So, 8
o'clock?" the lavender haired woman asked and Tai nodded:
"Perfect. I have to go now, tell Matt and Ken."
"We will." Sora and Yolei said, at the same time, while Tai waved and got out of the shop.
Then, Sora turned to
Yolei:
"Lets choose the dresses." she said
"Lead the way." Yolei replied
~*~
The silence was
killing him. Why couldn't she answer him once and for all? He needed
to know:
"Yes, I did the
tests." Jun whispered and Matt took a deep breath:
"And?" he
asked and Jun licked her lips, before looking at him:
"I'm pregnant."
she said "And only you can be the father."
That answer was enough...that answer was enough to rip his dreams along with his heart.
