"What baby?" Asked TK, eyeing his wife suspiciously.

"I swear, I just found out… it wasn't even a half hour ago." She said, watching his face for clues. "And I was going to tell you first, except Nori kind of-"

"Saw us jumping up and down in the hall like maniacs." Gatomon finished.

TK half-grinned at his son. "I wish the little tyke had a camera…" then he looked at Kari. "Don't looked so ashamed, sweetie. We were hoping for this, remember?"

"I was afraid you'd be upset that Nori found out before we had a chance to talk about it."

"Why? It's going to change his life as much as ours. He has a right to know straight out."

"Good." Sighed Kari, relieved that her husband had such open views on the subject.

"But what we have to do now is make sure he understands." TK kneeled down to Nori's level.

"Honey," he started, "your mommy is having a baby. Do you know what that means?"

"I'm gonna have a brover or sister." Said Nori.

"That's right. For the next nine months, the baby will grow inside Mommy's tummy, and Mommy will get very big." TK ignored the dirty looks Kari was giving him. She did not want to be fat again. "Then, one day, Mommy and I will go to the hospital, and come back with the new baby."

Nori nodded, and Kari chuckled at the serious expression on the toddler's face. "Wonderful job, dear." She said as TK stood back up. "Pregnancy in thirty-seven words or less."

"Yeah, well, telling Nori was the easy part. Now we have to tell the others."

"Who are we going to tell first?"

"Tough call. If we call Tai first, Matt will be upset, and vice versa. We need to call the girls last, because if we don't, no one else'll ever find out, you'll be on the phone so long. If-"

"Wait! Who says we have to tell them?"

"Huh?"

Kari beamed. "I have an idea."

"Great."

"And I'll tell you."

"Good."

"Right after dinner." She brushed past him, dialed the phone, and proceeded to order half the take-out restaurant's supply of food.

"Oh yeah." Said TK, "She's definitely pregnant."

"H'lo."

"Hey, Nori, it's Uncle Tai. Can-"

"This is the T'kashi res'dence. My mom and dad aren't here right now 'cause they're at a obstri-shon appoi'tment. Call back soon!"

"Obstetrician appointment?" Tai slammed down the phone only to pick it up again.

"Hello, you have reached TK's cell. Leave your name and number and I'll get back to you, unless this is concerning the voicemail message on the home phone, in which case you'll have to either come over or contact us by email. Sorry."

"Aaarrrrghhh!" Tai screamed.

"Kari never did like explaining things over the phone, did she?" Sora asked, feeding a bottle to Rini.

"Grrr…" said Tai, dialing again.

"Hi, this is Kari's cell phone. Give it up, Tai. We're not telling you anything unless you email us or come over. Leave a message."

"She knows you too well." Sora smiled.

"She won't talk to me!"

"Email her."

"No. I'm going over."

"Not now! Nori's probably in bed. Wait until morning."

"I'm going over." He grabbed his keys.

"Tai, you put one foot out that door and you're sleeping on the couch for the next thirty years!"

"Magarblegeb." Tai grumbled, reluctantly putting down the keys. "Fine. I'm calling the others, then." Sora sighed.

"At least call the ones with children first, before tonight becomes tomorrow morning."

"Whatever." Tai dialed. "Hey Izzy? It's Tai. Have you heard TK and Kari's answering machine? You have?" Tai hung up and redialed "Hello Yolei. You know already?"

"Hi Matt." Tai tried again.

"Joe."

"Davis?"

"Cody?"

"Everyone knows except us!" Tai slammed down the phone.

"Quiet, honey, you'll wake the baby. And I knew."

"And you didn't tell me? Why am I always the last one to know?"

"Well maybe if you called them more often…"

"That's it. I'm emailing."

"Be nice, Tai."

"Tai is not happy with us." Kari stated.

"How can you tell?" TK asked from his spot in bed.

"Well, the mean email gave me a clue." TK put down his book and took a copy of the email from Kari.

"I didn't know that Tai had such a colorful vocabulary." He said, skimming it.

"Yeah. The others sent us congrats and best wishes."

"Did you write back?"

"Of course I did."

"Kari says her household is rated G." Sora said.

"Did she say anything else?" Tai asked, pacing.

"No. She doesn't know anything else, Tai. Stop being so mean. You should be happy."

"I am happy."

"Well you're not showing her that." Sora climbed into bed.

"I am happy. And… worried. What if something is wrong? I can't risk her getting hurt. She's my little sister, Sora. I want to know what's going on."

"Oh Tai. That's so sweet. Come here." Sora motioned him to lay down in bed with her. "I hope Kari's child is a girl."

"Why?" Tai flipped off the light.

"So that Nori can be as good of a big brother to her as you are to Kari."

"Thanks, honey." They lied in the dark for a minute.

"Hey Sora?"

"Yeah?"

"If it's not a girl, do you think they'll name him 'Tai?'"

Sora sighed and flopped over. "Go to sleep, Tai."
