Nine Months in the Socks of the Motamiya's: Chapter 3
(A/N -I want to thank you all for your support and for believing me when I said that I am the original author of the story! From the bottom of my heart, I thank you!)
Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!
A pair of azure blue eyes looked up and squinted at the alarm clock on the bedside table. "Who in their right mind would call at this time of the morning on a Saturday?" he grumbled to himself as he reached out for the ringing phone.
"Hello? Takashi residence. Tai? What are you doing calling me at this time of the morning?" TK asked, his eyes still half closed in sleep.
"Who is it, Take-chan?" A weary female voice asked next to him.
"It's Tai," TK replied, covering the mouthpiece with his hand. "Who had better be dying or handing near death to be calling me at 7 in the morning." He said, uncovering the mouthpiece. "What is it Tai?"
There was a pause as TK's eyes slowly opened wider. "Really? That's great! Really great! I'm so happy for you two."
There was another pause. "What's that sound I hear in the background? It sounds like someone throwing up. Oh. Oh it IS someone throwing up. Sora has morning sickness? Bummer. Uh-huh. Okay, well I'll talk to you later Tai. Allright, tell Sora I say congratulations and I hope she feels better. Later."
TK set the phone back on the bedside table and rolled back over in the bed. "Tai and Sora are going to have a baby."
"Oh, that's great." The weary female voice said, slowly stirring from her side of the bed. "When is she due?"
"They don't know yet." The blonde replied, snuggling back under the covers. "I'm sure Kari is going to freak when she find out she's going to be an aunt. I had a feeling they were going to be the first ones to have a kid."
"Speaking of kids…" The female voice said, rolling on top of him, her purple dyed hair scattered around TK's smiling face. "When are we going to have one?"
"Well, it's not like we haven't been trying." TK replied, a red flush creeping on his cheeks. "It just takes time, Yolei-chan."
"Well, you know the old saying," she cooed, leaning down to give him a kiss. "If at first you don't succeed…"
"…try, try again." TK purred, leaning into the kiss. "I love those old sayings."
Ring! Ring! Ring!"Oh, come on!" TK groaned, reaching out for the phone.
Yolei grabbed the phone out of his grasp. "I can get rid of people better than you can." She whispered as she pressed 'talk' "Hello? Takashi residence? Kari! What's up?"
TK could hear Kari's excited muffled voice as Yolei listened. "You're kidding. You have got to be kidding! Are you—hello? Hello?"
"What's wrong?" TK asked, as Yolei held the phone away from her ear.
"I think I may have heard Kari wrong. It sounded like she said she was going to have a baby, but before I got a chance to hear what she was saying, I heard a loud bang and the sound of someone throwing up."
"Oh, no. That's can't be right!" TK said skeptically.
"Well, I don't know—Hello? Davis? What happened to Kari? M-m-morning sickness? She's WHAT! You're joking. This is a joke. It has to be! But Sora just called and said that SHE was going to…Uh-huh. Oh, okay. I'll call back later. Allright, Bye."
Yolei set the phone back on the bedside table and laid back down in the bed. "Kari is pregnant."
"No freaking way." TK gasped, raising a hand to his forehead. "No freaking way! Sora AND Kari!"
"Looks that way. Spring has arrived."
After a minute, TK rolled over on top of Yolei, causing her to giggle. "What's this, now?"
"We have to play catch-up." TK cooed, kissing her on the neck. "We're already fallen behind."
"Oooh, competitive, aren't we?"
"Oh, Dai-Chan!"
Davis popped his head out the kitchen door. "Yes, dear?"
Kari was laying on the couch in the living room, her feet propped up by a couple of pillows, a book resting on her round stomach.
"Can 'oo bwing me some more strawbewwies pweese?" Kari cooed in a small baby voice as she held out the empty bowl.
"I'm on my way!" he called, wiping his hands on his "Kiss the Chefmon" apron. "Give me one quick minute! I'm just finishing up dinner!"
"Oh, and can you bring some peanut butter with you too? Ooh! And some honey!"
Man, she is really puttin' it away! Davis thought as he padded over to retrieve the bowl. "Is there anything in that book about growing a third stomach when you're having a baby?"
Kari grinned as she handed him the bowl. "Give me a break. I'm am eating for two you know."
"Two what?"
Kari smacked him playfully with a nearby pillow. "Davis, tell the truth…am I getting fat?" she asked, setting her hands on her plump stomach.
Davis faltered. "Ummm…well…you're lying down right now, so I can't really tell." He replied, breathing a deep sigh of relief in his head.
"You saw me standing up this morning and all day today!" Kari exclaimed as Davis padded back to the kitchen. "Now you stop right there, Daisuke Motomiya!"
Davis froze in his tracks and turned around to face Kari who was now glaring at him.
"Look me in the eyes and tell me the truth. Am I getting fat?"
The brunette gave a small sigh and padded back to the living room where Kari laid. "Angel, you're carrying our baby. Of course you're going to get fat. But think of it this way. The bigger you get, the more our baby is growing. Don't think of it as you're getting fat. Think of it as our baby growing up!"
"That was so sweet, my Dai-Chan," Kari cooed, taking his hand and setting it on her small round stomach. "I'm sorry if I've been a little emotional lately. It must be these stupid hormones. Can you forgive me?"
"Well," Davis said, pouting as he sat down on the floor next to the couch. "I don't know…I mean, I have dinner to finish up, and…"
"Aww, don't worry. I'll finish it up," Kari said, swinging her legs over the side of the couch. "You just lie down and relax, and I'll call you when it's ready." She continued, slowly getting to her feet.
Davis jumped up on the couch and placed his feet on the pillows, a wide smile on his face. "Thank 'oo Kari-chan!" He said.
"You're welcome my Dai-chan." Kari said, leaning down for a kiss on the cheek. She then padded towards the kitchen. "Lets see what we got here." She said, as she thumped through the kitchen door.
Right…about…now…"OH MY GAWD!" Kari cried as she quickly padded out to the living room. "Davis! Everything is scorched and/or burnt in there!"
"Um…whoops." Davis said, sheepishly.
"I thought you said that you were finishing up dinner!"
"I was!" Davis said indignantly. "They were finishing up my dinner order over the phone before you called me!"
Kari picked up the empty strawberry bowl and turned it upside down on Davis head, the discarded green leaves tangling in his dark brown hair.
"That's it. I'm breastfeeding." Kari said, picking up the phone. "We're even now, Iron chef."
