Chapter 16 – Uh Oh…

Christmas was in three days. Luckily, Sora always had breaks during Christmas, as well as Kairi, so they were able to spend time together. Sora's team just won their game against the Olympus, so he was really happy. He even made dinner that night for the family.

"Wow, Sora! It looks delicious…" Kairi pointed out as she pointed to the ribs covered in sauce. He had also made some mashed potatoes, making Kairi's mouth water. Kairi hadn't cooked like that in a while, so she was glad Sora took over. Akira and Kosuke came in carrying their Christmas lists in their hands.

"You two know that you're not getting everything on this list, right?" Kairi told them as she read through the list that literally went down to the floor.

"Sure they can." Sora mentioned, making Kairi glare at him. She thought they cleared the fact that they weren't going to spoil their kids.

"They can have most of the things listed." Sora corrected himself after Kairi's long stare. It was quiet for a moment.

"I have to pee." Kairi walked off to the bathroom.

She had just taken some Tylenol to cure her headache, which wasn't really working. She looked at herself in the mirror.

"I really don't feel well…" Kairi turned off the light and went back into the kitchen. Sora was setting plates out on the table.

"What's the matter, Kairi?" Sora asked, realizing her condition.

"Nothing, I just have a headache, that's all…" Kairi felt a little light-headed. She really didn't feel like eating, even though the food was so tempting.

"I'll eat later… I think I'm going to lay down…"

Kairi felt really bad for skipping out on dinner when Sora made it for the first time in years, but the fever was really starting to get to her. He came into the room to check on her.

"What's wrong, Kairi?" He asked with a deep concern. Kairi rested her head on the pillow. She was starting to get cold. Sora pulled her hair out of her face.

"Sorry, Sora…" She groaned as her headache hurt even more. Sora sat on the bed next to her.

"Don't be sorry. You're just sick, that's all. It'll be better in the morning. Go ahead and sleep, okay?" He kissed her forehead, paused when he noticed how warm it was and then walked out. Kairi fell asleep.

It was midnight and the twins were crying again. This woke Kairi and Sora up.

"Could you take care of them? Thanks…" Sora tried to go back to sleep as Kairi got up and headed upstairs. That was the third time he didn't help her because he supposedly was "too tired."

Akira wanted a bottle and Kosuke was only crying because his brother was. A mother gets used to these cries and is able to tell the difference between each one. She took the bottle off of the dresser that she usually kept there at night and fed Akira, but Kosuke was still crying. She set Akira down with his bottle and picked up Kosuke to calm him down. He immediately stopped all the noise, but then Akira started again when his bottle went empty.

Kairi wished Sora would at least help her. It was hard to handle two crying children at once. It was so wrong…

Once they finally settled down in their cribs, Kairi decided to stay a little longer just in case they needed her again.

"For an athlete…" Kairi whispered to herself, "Sora's pretty lazy…" A tear rolled down her cheek, but she wiped it away quickly.

It was 2AM when Kairi woke up and ran to the bathroom. (A/N: Now I have that song in my head… xD) She was feeling really sick now and was about to throw up. Sure enough, she did, and I will not go into any detail.

Sora realized she had thrown up and knocked on the door. Kairi leaned against the wall feeling much better than before, but still had some cold chills here and there. She nodded for him to come in. He got a rag and wiped her face with it, then helped her stand up.

"Better?"

"Yeah," She answered, taking a few deep breaths. "Thanks."

"No problem."

Despite her throwing up last night, Kairi still felt a bit queasy throughout the day. It came at random times and was really starting to make her wonder if…

"NAMINE, GET OVER HERE NOW!" Kairi said over the phone. Without a second thought, Namine accepted and went over there.

"You have all the signs… cravings, morning sickness… Kairi, you might be pregnant!" Namine exclaimed. She seemed happier than Kairi did.

"But… I can't be! I don't want to be!" She paused. "Am I?"

"There's only one thing to do." Namine said. "Get tested!"

Sora walked into the room. "Huh? Tested for what?" Kairi, not wanting him to know anything, tried to cover up.

"Um… get tested for… rabies." This was the perfect time to use the cut she got a couple days ago on her arm as an excuse. "I was bitten by a stray animal."

"Ohh, well maybe I should go with you."

"No!" Sora gave her a strange look. "I mean," Kairi said, "Namine and I are going out today, like to shop around… if I don't have rabies…" She hated lying to him.

Kairi and Namine left to the hospital. At least she was only half way lying… she was going to the hospital… just not to get tested for something as ridiculous as rabies that she was so surprised he believed.

When they entered, a nurse told Kairi to follow her. Namine waited in the waiting room for about fifteen minutes before she came out.

"They said they'll give me the results in a minute…" Kairi said nervously. Namine patted her back as they awaited the final results…

It wasn't until about ten minutes later when the nurse came out holding some papers. She pulled Kairi aside.

"It turns out that yes, you're about four or five weeks pregnant."

Kairi's eyes widened. She felt her stomach twist. She didn't want to be pregnant again. This was too much. The nurse began giving her tips on what she should do, but Kairi told her she had to leave and took Namine and got out.

"Well?" Namine asked.

"I… I'm pregnant…" Kairi told her. Namine screamed.

"That's so awesome! Aww!"

"No it's not!" Kairi yelled. She felt like crying. In fact, she was getting dizzy. How was she going to tell Sora? She knew he would be excited, but Kairi just didn't want to deal with all the stress again…

A/N: I know I already added a chapter today, but doesn't that make it better for you? Hehe, Heather, you were right. XD. Uh oh, looks like Kairi doesn't want another kid. I wonder why? Also, I'm going to try to get in as many chapters as I can before March 28… (You guys know what day that is!) If not, you might have to wait a while. Oh yeah, this lady is making Kairi's kh2 costume for me! It's awesome! I might learn how to do it so I can make other costumes. That'd be sweet.
