Nine Months in the Socks of the Motamiya's: Chapter FiveOkay, okay. Just act natural…just act natural…
After giving the cushions one last good fluff, Yolei quickly flopped down on the couch and grabbed a magazine from the coffee table as she heard the key tumbling in the lock. She quickly began to flip through the magazine to find an article to read.
Oh snap, it's upside down! Yolei screamed in her head as she flipped the magazine right side up. Great, and it's about three months old too! Why me!
"Hello? Anyone home?" TK called from the foyer as he removed his shoes. "I got takeout!"
"You are an angel! A living angel!" Yolei crowed from the couch, abandoning her magazine for the TV remote.
TK set the bags on the table and padded over to the couch with a grin. "Nope, Patamon and Gatomon are the angels of the group," he began, giving her a kiss. "I'm just the delivery boy."
Yolei smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck in a hug. "You're my angel, and don't forget it. How was your day?"
"It felt like I was never going to get those headphones off my ears," TK said, flopping on the other end of the couch next to her. "Matt is not going to rest until that CD is perfect to the teeth."
"You know Matt, when it comes to his music, he's a perfectionist," Yolei said, sighing. "But with everything else, he's like a bull in a china shop."
TK laughed and shifted on the couch. "Is it just me or is this couch really lumpy?" He said, standing up.
Please don't look under the cushion, please don't look under the cushion, please don't look under the cushion…
"Yolei-chan," TK began, setting the cushion to one side, and picking up the mass of cables and hooks underneath. "What the heck are these?" He said, holding up the thick mass of brightly colored cables.
"Umm…bungee cords?" Yolei said, nervously, scratching the back of her head.
"B-B-BUNGEE CORDS!" TK sputtered, flopping down to the floor. "You're bungee jumping in YOUR condition!"
"Doesn't everybody?"
"Everybody who isn't four—"
"Five." Yolei corrected, patting the small lump on her middle.
"Five months pregnant! Do you have any idea what you may be doing to that kid?"
"Re-lax, Take-chan, the doctor said that me and the baby are perfectly fine. I just have to take it easy when I hit my 6th month." Yolei explained.
"Oh, really?" TK said, sarcasm dripping from his voice. "What do you have planned for the rest of the time—sumo wrestling? Water-skiing? Body surfling—no wait, TUMMY SURFING!"
"Don't exaggerate, angel," Yolei said, brushing a hand through his hair. "I know my limits. This is just something I need to get out of my system. You know I can't just lie around the house all day with nothing to do."
"So you said to yourself, 'Hey, I'll take up bungee jumping! That's a great way to while away the hours!" TK said, replacing the cushion on the couch. "What I don't understand is why you didn't tell me anything?"
"Because I knew you were going to react like this!" Yolei replied. "I knew you were going to freak out about it."
"Well…" TK sighed and plopped back down on the couch. "How else was I supposed to react? I mean, you're jumping off of cliffs and bridges while you're carrying our kid. It's not that I'm mad, I'm just worried.
"Don't worry my Take-chan. I take all precautions when I do my jumps, and I always jump with a buddy." Yolei explained. "And I DO plan on slowing down when I hit 6 months. Don't worry."
"You promise? You'll slow down?" TK asked, gazing in her eyes.
"I promise, Take-chan." Yolei whispered, kissing TK on the cheek. "Now lets go eat. I am starving."
"You can start without me. I'm going to hop in the shower." TK said, padding towards the bedroom.
"Okay. I'll have everything ready when you get out." Yolei called behind him as the door closed.
RING! RING! RING!Yolei padded over to the phone and answered it. "Hello. Takashi residence. Yolei speaking. Uh-huh? Yes, yes, it's still on. Thursday morning at noon is perfect. Hey, is it okay if I come a few minutes earlier? It's just that I want to make sure my parachute is folded properly?"
"Who's that, honey?" TK called from the bathroom. "Is it for me?"
"Umm, no! Just a friend of mine!" Yolei called back, removing her hand from the mouthpiece of the phone "I can? Great! I'll see you on the runway at noon. Right after my doctors visit. Okay. Bye."
"So, what do you know about this guy?" Davis asked, looking around the office.
"According to everyone I've talked too, Dr. McKnight is one of the greatest OB/GYN's in the hospital," Kari replied, strumming her fingers on the arms of the chair. "He's from the west."
"Oh, he's Hawaiian." Davis said, staring at a big silver hourglass that sat on the oak desk in front of them.
"Try the US."
"He's American?" Davis asked, spinning around to face Kari. "Do you think that it's a good idea to have an American doctor? I mean, what if he doesn't--?"
"From what I heard, Dr. McKnight can speak 5 different languages."
"Impressive," Davis said, nodding, his attention returning back to the hourglass. "I wonder if he's different from the doctor's here--"
"Motomiya Hikari. Age 25 Height: 5'6. Weight: 165 pounds. Gestation: 5 months four days."
Davis and Kari turned in their seats towards the open door.
A tall, black gentlemen stood in the doorway, holding a chart. His dark blue scrubs were covered with a long white lab jacket. He poked a finger at the bridge of his glasses, pushing them further up his nose.
"Hi. I'm Dr. Josh McKnight." He said, walking in the room, placing the chart under his arm and bowing deeply to each of them. "Pleasure to meet you."
To Be Continued…
(A/N – Okay guys, once again I gotta give my props to you guys who make writing stories worth wile: the reviewers:
Dark Qiviut – Thank you for sticking with my story! I'm so glad that you liked the Taiora dialogue! It took a while to come up with because, if you remember, I never really showed Tai and Sora as a true couple…in "Search for the New", Sora was near death, and Tai was depressed, so no true opportunities for Taiora there. But, I'm glad you like it!
SomeoneInThePastOfEarth – I plan on updating as often as I can, but I'm really busy with work and other family matters. But, for you and everyone else, I'm gonna keep it going!
Anthony1 – You don't know how much help you've given me these past few days! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have even gotten as far as I did with this story! I have to admit, chapter four was a little too short, even for my taste, but I'm glad you liked it all the same!
Paige34 – I hope those chills you're feeling are good chills, because Dr. Greystone is going to be a major part of the story in the coming chapters! My philosophy is when Tai isn't worried about something or another, there's something missing from him. It's like watching an episode of Digimon without Joshua Seth's voice. So worrywart Tai comes standard in all stories featuring Taiora.
Cloaked Fox – I still say that we would have some GREAT arguments if you and I were to IM or E-mail or even a face to face conversation! But in the meantime, I guess this is going to have to work. I write what's in my soul, and I notice that, even though you obviously don't like my story topic, YOU keep coming back to read and write a review! I am honored! Thank you! Oh, and thanks for reading my bio, even though it does revolt you. BTW, you must be a girl. Don't ask me how I know, I just do.
A-c-H 123314 – Thank you for not stabbing any vital organs. I'm semi attached to my liver. And thanks for understanding where I'm coming from. I'm kinda considering going into the medical field, but my high school grades really sucked, so that's out. Right now, working with computers and writing are my main goals. And I sure will keep it up!
And to everyone else who reviewed my stories, I am so sorry that I didn't have time to address you in person (I'm kinda rushing here); Colormyworld, KoumiLoccness, Gizmo-396, Fan Fiction Story Writer and last but not least Warprince2000, you guys are great! Thank you so much for your reviews and I promise to make it up to you! Well, I hope to see you all for the next chapter! Thanks!)
