A/N: Well, I decided to take a little break from my 30 something hour playing time on KH2 to write another chapter! (Actually my dad told me to stop playing…) This is what I do over Spring Break!

Chapter 25 – Crash

"Oh, man…" Kairi lifted herself up carefully with the help of the table edge. The last few months of nauseating and such were really… how would she put it, annoying? At least she knew she wasn't having twins or triplets. Her and Sora went to the doctor the month before. He predicted for it to be a girl.

"A girl, eh?" Sora patted Kairi on the back. "That'll be new."

Now was the time they wanted to use the guest room that had been idle for years. Sora and the twins helped move things into the garage and now it was free. Kairi wanted to use one of the old cribs to save on money. Sora set that up too. Kairi felt like she couldn't really do much to help, but Sora wouldn't ever let her anyway. She guessed it was fair.

"Man, the radio station wants to interview me today…" Sora whined.

"Huh? But I thought—"

"They just want to ask a few questions… like why I quit and such. I'll just tell them the same things I told my team, and I should be free to go." He grinned at her.

"How would pink curtains look in here?" Kairi asked, examining the window.

"Pink? Hmmm…" Sora looked at it too. "Sure!" Akira and Kosuke came into the room carrying some bags.

"We have to get to rehearsal, mom!" They said.

"I'll take ya." Sora said, but then stopped. "Wait, I can't…" He turned to Kairi.

"I'll do it." Kairi escorted the twins out of the room. Before Sora could refuse, she spoke again.

"I may be pregnant, but I'm not helpless." She smiled. "I'll see you later."

"Okay, call me if you need me." Kairi nodded and walked out.

Akira and Kosuke loaded the car. Kairi hadn't driven in a couple weeks, but it wasn't like she had forgotten how to do it altogether. She got in and closed the door.

"Mom, where do babies come from?" Akira asked the famous question.

"Do you really want to know?" She didn't want to talk to them about this. Kairi sighed and continued to drive. She drove past a small arena where some kids were practicing with each other. Akira and Kosuke gazed at them, wishing to be in their place.

"Every year they have this tournament called The Struggle!" Akira said.

"Yeah, I so wish I could participate… but it's only ages fourteen and up…" Kosuke sighed. Kairi was glad they got off of the whole "where do babies come from" subject. They arrived at the school safely.

"How long is rehearsal?" Kairi decided she would stay. Luckily she brought a book.

"An hour." They went inside.

Kairi took a seat in the audience. The twins were in some play she had never heard of. Kairi remembered back when she was in Drama Club. Those days sucked…

Sora entered the studio. A man sitting at a table was putting another song on the radio when he walked in. He wore sunglasses and had long black hair that was tied into a ponytail. He greeted Sora and took off his headphones.

"Yello, Sora. Please, take a seat. I'm Mr. Nachi." He pulled out a chair.

"Hiya. It's nice to meet you."

Mr. Nachi eyed him for a while. The song went off and he was back on the air.

"Quick, put those headphones on!" He ordered. Sora did so.

"Hello, folks. What a nice evening this is. I hope you're having just as much fun as I am. I am here with Sora Kiyamoto, former Blitzball player for the Twilight Town Hornets. I bet its been itching in you to know just why this star player quit a couple months ago, right? Well you're going to find out right now!"

Sora thought it would never end.

"So Sora, why did you quit the team?"

"Well, my wife, that I love very much, is pregnant. She doesn't think I'm around enough, and I agree. Also, my sons mean everything to me as well, and I'd like to have a normal, father-son relationship with them…" he paused. "Unlike my stepfather."

"Ooh, got a little past issue, eh? We're not going to get into that, but what are your plans for the future?" He asked.

"Hmm, I guess I'll stay home for about a year or two, and then I'll get back out there and find a job. Is that wrong?" Sora stared at the ceiling. He hadn't really thought about it.

Kairi closed the book she was reading. Rehearsal was over, and it was time to go home. The twins seemed exhausted for some reason. Kairi only paid attention at their parts, so she wasn't sure what went on backstage. They got back into the car.

Nighttime fell. They all fastened their seat belts and drove off. It must've rained during rehearsal, because the ground was all wet. Kairi yawned. It seemed like a peaceful night. She stopped at a red light.

"I can't believe we only have two weeks left to rehearse!" Akira pouted.

"I know!" Said Kosuke. "Nobody is even doing anything!"

"I know how that is." Kairi said, sounding bored. She yawned again. Kairi could feel herself getting a little dizzy.

"Mom? Are you okay?" Kosuke noticed her condition.

"Fine, just fine."

"Mom, cars are honking at us…" Akira pointed out.

"Oh!" The light must've turned green minutes ago. She took a turn. Kairi knew she should stop, but they were almost home. She could make it.

That was it. She just had to pull over. However, there wasn't anywhere to do it. The roads all said "no parking" and such. Kairi's legs started shaking.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Kosuke asked, scared.

"I'll make it, just hold on…" She knew she couldn't go on. Kairi was going to have to break a few rules.

But breaking the rules had consequences.

With her vision blurred, she tried to pull over on the side of the road. However, there was a car coming the other way. She desperately tried to get there before it clashed into them, but she didn't quite make it. The car honked and flew sideways, hitting the back of Kairi's. They all screamed.

They ended up in the grass, a definite no-parking zone. Police surrounded the area along with ambulances incase anybody was wounded. Luckily, nobody was hurt…

"THAT WAS SO STUPID!" Kairi thought to herself. She knew she never would've done something like that if she weren't so dizzy… and felt sick…

"Is everybody okay?" Akira and Kosuke were panicking in the back seat. Kairi gasped and tried to get out of the car. A policeman came to them.

"Oh my goodness… it was an accide—" Kairi fell over, but the policeman caught her. Akira and Kosuke rushed to her aid.

"What are you doing getting behind the wheel with the condition that you're in?" The policeman helped her regain balance. "Are these your children?"

"Yes… sir…" She turned to them and hugged them. "I'm so sorry!"

"We were scared to death!" They said.

"Is there anyone we can call… like a husband?" The policeman asked. Kairi reached into her purse for her cell phone, but realized she had left it at home. The policeman gave her one.

Kairi wasn't sure if she wanted to tell Sora about this just yet, but knew he would find out eventually. She dialed his cell phone number.

"Um, hello?" There was a little static.

"Sora? It's me, Kairi… uh…"

"Oh, hey! What's the matter?"

"Come to…" She looked around.

"This is Main Street."

"Main street." She told him.

"What's going on? Is everyone okay?"

"Yes, just hurry!"

Luckily, Sora was walking out of the radio station by then. He broke into a run and got into his car. He was there in about five minutes.

"Oh my God! What happened?" Sora rushed over to them. Kairi gave him an anxious look, but then looked away in shame.

"We got in a car wreck!" Kosuke told him.

"It was… kinda cool…" Akira said aloud. "Let's do it again!"

"NO!" Everyone said in unison.

"Kairi… what were you thinking?" Sora asked worriedly, putting his hands on her shoulders.

"I don't know… I did something stupid…"
