Chapter Four – I Don't Know What To Call This Chapter

"Oh Sora… you're so sweet…" Kairi giggled. They were standing under the moonlight completely wrapped in each other's arms. Today marked their three-year anniversary. Sora and Kairi had been hanging out all day; not to mention she was one month pregnant…

"Hey," Sora stared into her eyes, making her knees weak. "Let's sit down, okay?" They took a seat on the sand and got comfortable. Sora put his arm around her and smiled goofily. Kairi blushed and looked away nervously. She was so shy…

"I've… been meaning to ask you lately…"

"Ask me what?" Kairi questioned.

"Well…" He took his arm off of her and started writing something in the sand. Kairi leaned over to try and see. She whispered to herself aloud as she read.

"Would… you…" Kairi squinted her eyes. Sora took his finger away and sighed. Kairi gasped.

"Would you marry me, Kairi?" Sora pulled out a glass seashell and opened it. Inside was a purple diamond ring, sparkling in the night sky. Kairi was speechless. He was proposing to her! But… were they really ready to actually start a family? She didn't have much choice about that since she was already pregnant, but still…

However, Kairi wanted more than anything to spend the rest of her life with Sora. He was the best person she had ever met, and there was no way she was going to let this chance go.

"Yes… yes Sora… I'll marry you…"

Kairi woke up early the next morning. She turned over to see Sora sleeping soundly next to her. He must've gotten home after she went to bed, because she didn't remember seeing him come in. Quietly, she tiptoed over to the door and headed for the kitchen. Sora's bags were on the table with a huge Blitzball trophy next to them. He must've been too tired to put them away. Kairi went upstairs to wake the kids up for school.

"Come on mom… school is just something the government wants to torture us with…" Akira whined, turning away from her. Kosuke was already out of bed getting dressed. Kairi pulled Akira's covers away from him. His eyes opened and he finally sat up. Kairi headed for the door. Akira fell back over in his bed. He did this a lot.

After the twins left for school, Kairi got some cereal out of the cabinet and started eating breakfast. Sora entered the room yawning.

"Good morning."

"Morning." Kairi didn't make eye contact with him.

"Sorry I didn't make it for dinner with Namine's family last night." Sora said. "Our train was late."

"Yeah."

"I was thinking… maybe we can all go out to eat tonight. You, me and the twins." Kairi gave him a strange look. He always offered something to try and make up for what he did wrong.

"I have to work."

"Oh… well…" He stared at the ceiling as if he was trying to think of something else, but nothing came. Kairi went over to the sink and placed her bowl in there. She figured Sora could wash the dishes this time. Without another word, she walked into the TV room and lay down on the couch.

She reached for a magazine off the table and started reading it. However, she just couldn't concentrate…

--Flashback--

"I can't believe you're getting married!" Selphie exclaimed, being her usual hyper self. Kairi blushed and showed her the ring.

"Marriage is such a wonderful thing…" Namine let out a big sigh. "You and Sora were meant for each other…"

"Yeah. I love him so much." Kairi said. "But… I'm afraid that the marriage will get a little… boring. I mean… you know all these things you hear about divorces and stuff… I don't want to fight with Sora…"

"All marriages have arguments… but some are just unlucky enough to have fights." Namine reasoned. She was right.

"I don't know…"

Selphie looked at her. "Are you ready for marriage, Kairi?"

"I… guess…"

End of flashback

"Man…" Kairi sighed heavily. Okay, so she wasn't exactly ready to get married at that time, but then again she wasn't exactly ready to have children either. It just happened. It's almost like she didn't have a choice. She loved Sora, and she still does, it's just that she didn't want to let her children grow up without a father. Although… it kind of seems like that nowadays… and she could've had Sora around when the children were born and still consider him the father. She didn't know what she was thinking.

"We lost our game." Sora sat down in the lazy chair.

"I saw. I'm sorry about that." Kairi pretended to read the magazine.

"Yeah… by one point… argh, I was so angry…" Sora noticed silence between them. "Are you okay? You've been acting weird lately."

"I'm great. I… just didn't get much sleep last night. Nothing new."

"Because you seem like you're mad at me or something." Sora said.

"Nope," she lied. She just didn't have the heart to tell him…

Obviously Sora wasn't buying it, but he decided to drop the subject.

Flashback

"Do you, Sora, take Kairi to be your wife?" (A/N: whatever they say…) Sora nodded. "I do." He smiled at her.

"And do you, Kairi, take Sora to be your husband?"

"I… do…"

"You may kiss the bride."
