"TK?" As Kari got out of the car, she glanced hopefully at her husband, who clamped his mouth shut and kept his hands on the steering wheel even though he was in a parking lot and the car wasn't moving. "Honey, come on! You said you liked Dr. Greystone now! You said she wasn't so bad after Nori was born."

"That was before I found out that I would be stuck with her for another nine months."

"But she did so well with Nori! We can trust her."

"Okay, I'll give you that one," TK agreed as he reluctantly got out of the car. "But I don't see why I have to carry this around." He held up a water bottle and frowned.

"So that you don't have to make trips to get water," Kari replied smugly, "I'm onto your little game, TK."

Dang! TK thought. He helped his wife up the steps to the gray building. Looking up at it, he had to admit that it looked like a prison.

Inside, he read a magazine, waiting for Dr. Greystone to arrive, and reminding himself to support Kari on her decision to keep Dr. Greystone onboard for another pregnancy. I must be supportive. I must be supportive. He uncapped the water bottle and took an unhappy drink. I must-

The obstetrician walked in during mid-sip. The older lady looked pretty much the same as she had two years ago, except for one major difference.

Dr. Greystone had bright, bubble-gum pink hair.

Breathe! TK choked and sputtered on the water. Kari rushed over to him, trying to help. TK, frazzled, got up, coughing.

"Where are you going?" Kari asked.

"Wa-ter," he choked.

"Here!" She handed him the water bottle, which he promptly refused.

"That one's (cough) not cold enough." He left the room.

"Well?" Dr. Greystone asked.

"He said six words," Kari replied triumphantly.

"And I said five or less." Dr. Greystone said, disappointed as she recalled the phone conversation she had had with Kari the day before. She handed Kari 500 yen. "Dang! I knew I should've gone with the green dye!"

TK almost died laughing at the water tank. For once, he wasn't paranoid that Dr. Greystone had dyed her hair just to catch him off guard and drive him out of the room. It didn't bother him that his obstetrician's hair color was that of the cotton candy he buys his son at the circus. It seemed hilarious! TK calmed down and took a drink of water. Just then, a teenage boy walked past him in the hall chewing gum. As he passed TK, he blew a bubble, and TK was sent into another laughing fit.

"Um, excuse me. Sir?" a female voice rang out. TK caught his breath and turned to face the speaker, a curly-topped redhead. "Are you supposed to be somewhere?"

TK tried to explain his situation, but couldn't without laughing. Luckily, just before the doctor was about to call the mental facility down the street…

"It's okay, Nami," Joe strolled down the hallway towards them, "He didn't escape from the OR. TK here is a friend of mine, and I'm guessing he's here on an appointment with one Dr. Greystone."

"Ohhhhhh…" the young lady looked as if this one piece on information explained everything, "I'm sorry, sir. I just thought that you might've met up with our anesthetist."

"It's okay. But I think it'd be a good idea to get back to my wife now," TK bid the doctors goodbye, smiled a thanks at Joe, and headed back to his room, where Dr. Greystone had already taken Kari's blood for sampling.

"Great news chaps!" The pink-haired lady cried, "You're going to have a baby!"

TK found this statement funny just because someone whose head looked like the underside of a restaurant table was saying it.

"We already knew that," Kari said, ignoring TK's chortles.

"Yes, but now it's official!" Dr. Greystone said, "I've sent the blood to the lab for testing whether the baby has Down's Syndrome and all that jazz. I'll call with the results in a few days. And if you want to know the sex of the baby, this will tell us for sure."

TK rushed out of the room to escape a fit of giggles. Kari apologized for his strange behavior and left too.

Back at the house, TK and Kari were shocked to discover an egg sitting in the middle of the living room. Patamon came in, carrying blankets.

"What's this?" TK asked.

"Our son, of course," Patamon answered, wrapping the blankets around the orb.

"Daughter!" Gatomon objected from the other room.

"You emitted it already?" Kari said, disappointed, "And I missed it?"

"Dang!" Said TK, "That's the second time!" He bent down to study the egg. It was the same cream color the first on had been, with red rectangles tilted in all directions. It looked like vanilla ice cream with confetti. "It looks great."

"Um, excuse me," Kari said softly and hurried off in the direction of the bathroom.

"So what happened?" TK asked his partner.

"Well," Patamon started, "Gatomon was washing the lunch dishes in your kitchen while I got Nyaromon down for his nap. Then I went in here to watch some TV. But suddenly Gato runs in, telling me that it's time. Of course, I kept a cool head-"

"He started running around like a maniac," Gatomon informed TK as she walked into the room.

"A minor detail! Anyway, after a tiring and painful struggle-"

"Cut the dramatics," Gatomon rolled her eyes, "I pushed, it came out. Simple as that."

"And now we have another son," Patamon finished.

"Daughter," Gatomon corrected.

"Son," Patamon whispered to TK.

"Wow," said TK, "you guys did it all alone?"

"Yep," said Patamon as Kari walked in, face a little green.

"You know, after the first time, this pregnancy stuff gets pretty routine," TK said. Kari and Gatomon glared at him.

"All I know is that this big boy will be just like his daddy," Patamon cooed at the egg.

"Girl."

"Boy."

"Girl!"

"Boy!"

"Well, we'll find out soon enough," said Kari, stepping between the arguing couple, "Dr. Greystone is going to call us with the answer when the lab tests get back."

TK laughed.

I'm not too fond of this one. Kinda choppy. But I finished it. I am beginning to feel threatened from some of my reviewers, though. Does this website have a WPP (Writers Protection Program) :-P
