A week later, Kairi showed up to work feeling like herself, but several hours later, she began to throw up. Luckily, the bathroom was right next to her office, so she didn't have very far to go. When she wasn't throwing up, she was eating like crazy and running the air conditioner full blast because it was always hot, but it was almost February. It was actually pretty cold in the mornings and the evenings on the islands. She did this for three days until Riku, Ryo, and Alexa decided to give Kairi a little "talk."
"Kairi, we need to talk." said Riku.
"Sure." said Kairi. "About what?"
Alexa pulled up a chair next to Kairi and sat down.
"Kairi, are you okay?" she asked worriedly.
"I'm fine." lied Kairi. "Why?"
"Because you keep throwing up every few minutes or so, you keep eating yet you're just going to throw it up." spoke up Ryo. "And you're running the air conditioner non-stop! It's freezing! And everyone has to bring a sweater every day now!"
"Look, I'm fine!" said Kairi. "Okay, I think I got food poisoning."
Riku stared straight into Kairi's dusk colored eyes. He might know what Kairi was hiding.
"I think it has something to do with you and Sora." he said.
"What?" asked Kairi.
Riku crossed his arms. "Kairi, you and Sora were all over each other that night we went to the Destiny Cantina. Something must have happened. Did you and Sora 'do it?'"
This stunned Kairi, Ryo, and Alexa. Riku had never asked a question like this before. Not even in high school, after prom, when they made out for the first time. And he just asked it like it was a question he asked everyday.
Kairi blushed and looked down at her hands.
"I know, it's such a hard question to-" said Riku.
"We did." said Kairi.
"WHAT?" cried Riku in shock. He thought she'd say they didn't.
"Look, we were a little buzzed, but we felt so in love that night." said Kairi.
"And with all these symptoms you have..." said Alexa.
"We think you might be pregnant." said Riku straight out.
Tears streamed down Kairi's cheeks. Alexa gave her a hug.
"It will be alright." she said. "I know-"
"No, I want a baby." sobbed Kairi. "It's just...it's so early. We're not even married yet."
"Which is why you should wait until marriage." said Riku.
"Riku!" cried Ryo. "How can you say that?"
Riku sighed and dug his hands in his pockets. He felt like he was always asking the wrong questions or saying the wrong wisecracks.
"Kairi, maybe you should call in sick and see a doctor." said Ryo in a gentle voice.
"Alright." said Kairi, who stopped crying by now.
"Have you even talked to Sora since last week?" asked Riku.
"Only twice after that." said Kairi. "Sora's busy getting his classes ready for the upcoming finals."
Two days later, Kairi called in sick and drove to the doctor's office, where they ran a few tests on her. Now, they had her waiting in the doctor's office for the results. To pass the time, she began to update her phone numbers on her cell phone. Deleting the numbers of people she didn't even talk to no more and moving up other numbers. After half an hour, a woman with blonde hair tied up in a ponytail wearing a flowery dress, loafers,and a long, white coat walked in. It was her doctor, Dr. Ferguson. (Note: If there is a Dr. Ferguson, it's entirely coincidental)
"Miss McCormick?" she asked.
Kairi looked up and put her cell phone away. "Oh, hi!" she said. "So..."
"Yes, you are right." said Dr. Ferguson with a smile. "Congratulations. You're pregnant."
Kairi sat there in a total daze. She felt happiness and shock at the same time.
"OMG, I'm going to have a baby..." she said.
"Yes, your baby is due in late September, early October." said Dr. Ferguson.
Kairi thanked her doctor and left. Before she left, she checked the time, which was 11:46.
Good, she thought. I could go see Sora at school and tell him...
She got in her car, started the engine, pulled out of the parking lot, and drove off. A lot of things were still going through her head. Like was it going to be a boy or a girl and what were they going to name it.
She drove two and a half miles to the high school, pulled into the visitor's parking lot, went to the main office to get a pass, and went to Sora's classroom and waited by the door, which was open. She could hear Sora talking.
"...so Chapter 14, Section 2 is due tomorrow." said Sora.
The bell rang and the kids herded out of the classroom for lunch. Kairi walked in as soon as the last kid walked out.
"Sora?" asked Kairi.
Sora looked up from the text book he was closing and jumped.
"Kairi!" he said in a surprised voice. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at work?"
Kairi smiled. "Yeah, but I took the day off today." she said. "Listen, remember last Friday, after dinner, we went to your house and...well, you know..."
Sora nodded. "Yeah." he said in an awkward sounding voice.
"Well, I went to the doctor and I found out that I'm pregnant." said Kairi.
Sora just stood there, with an expression on his face like he had just stabbed his own keyblade through his heart again.
"You're...you're pregnant?" asked Sora.
Kairi nodded.
Suddenly, Sora passed out on the floor.
"Sora!" cried Kairi as she bent down to his level. She immediately grabbed her water bottle that was sitting on a desk and poured some water on her fiancee's face. He immediately woke up.
"Kairi?" he asked weakly.
Kairi smiled and nodded.
Sora got up from the floor. "OMG, this is incredible!" he said excitedly. "We're going to have a baby! I-is it going to be a-a boy or a girl? W-what will we name it?"
Kairi laughed. "Relax!" she said. "I had the same questions in my head. It will be a while before we know what it is! And we can decide on the name in the meantime!"
"But...a baby!" said Sora. "Come here!"
He threw her arms around Kairi and squeezed her tight. Then they kissed.
"Get a room!" joked a kid with spiky hair who walked into the room with three other kids.
"Oh, hey Jason!" said Sora. "They eat here almost every day. Not too many teachers let kids have lunch in classrooms, heh heh."
"I better get going anyway." said Kairi. She kissed Sora on the cheek. "I'll see you later!"
Then, she walked out.
Kairi: Yay, I'm going to be a mother!
Sora: But I'm not ready for fatherhood!
Riku: Relax, Sora, there's nothing to it! I'm a father myself!
Hurky, Sora, Kairi, Ryo, and Alexa: WHAT?
Riku: I'm just kidding!
Sora: You better be!
