Chapter 29 – It's Time!

Kairi hung up the phone and rushed out of the room. The twins debated on whether to follow or not, but decided it would be best for them to stay in bed. Kairi didn't care if she was pregnant or not, she was going to get over to Namine's house somehow. She grabbed the keys out of her purse and opened the door as quickly and quietly as she could so Sora wouldn't hear her leaving.

She stepped into the car and put on her seatbelt. Kairi's back was hurting a little, but she ignored the pain. Her mind was set on her best friend, Namine. She put the keys into the ignition and started the car. Luckily, Sora never woke up.

Kairi drove carefully, reminding herself of what happened last time she drove when she was pregnant. Namine wasn't too far away either, but Kairi didn't have the energy to walk all the way to her house. She pulled into Namine's driveway and knocked on her door frantically.

"Oh thank goodness you're here…" Namine said once she entered the dark house. She could tell that Namine had been crying a lot, which made her really sensitive. They took a seat on the couch.

"I got here as fast as I could." Kairi took some deep breaths. She wasn't feeling too well…

"You shouldn't have… but thanks anyway…" Namine sniffled. Kairi rubbed her back and tried comforting her.

"So… what happened?" She asked.

"Well, him and I had another fight." Namine wiped a tear that was rolling down her cheek. "He came home late again, and I was sick of it. Lately I've been suspecting if he was cheating on me or not, but I didn't bring it up much. However, I did tonight, and he got pissed. He just walked out…"

"Where's Haruka?"

"She's asleep, I hope." Namine said. She looked up at Kairi. "Does Sora know you're here?"

Kairi shook her head nervously. Would Sora be angry with her? No, he should understand…

"Why do you think he's cheating on you?" Kairi asked.

"He comes home late almost every night. He gets off work at eight o clock and doesn't get here until ten or so. Don't you think that's a little weird?" Kairi agreed on one end, but on the other, she knew how Roxas liked to wander off. But when it happened too often, that was a problem.

"Sora never cheated on me…" Kairi said a little quieter than her normal tone.

"He's a good guy. Roxas is just…" She growled. "He can be a pain sometimes."

Kairi's backaches were coming back, and now she really didn't feel too well. Namine noticed this time.

"Are you okay, Kairi?" Her eyes had anxious written all over them. Kairi took some deep breaths. She couldn't lie. Maybe she was just feeling a little sick and needed to throw up. No, this time it was different…

"Namine… my water just broke!" (A/N: That sounds kinda funny)

- - - - - -

Namine woke up Haruka and ordered for her to get in the back seat with Kairi. Kairi was trying to breathe and stay calm at the same time, but it wasn't working. It seems like it was hurting everywhere. Namine took her cell phone out and called Kairi's house, hoping Sora would answer.

"Hello?" Kosuke picked up the phone, still a little tired.

"Kosuke?" Namine took a guess. He answered yes and then she spoke again. She was really nervous and was about to freak out as she drove. "Kosuke, this is Miss Namine. I want you to wake up your father and tell him to get down to the hospital immed—" Kairi screamed. "Get to the hospital NOW!" Namine hung up.

Kosuke woke Akira up and rushed downstairs, busting his parent's bedroom door open. He shook Sora a few times.

"What…" Sora rolled over.

"Dad! Wake up! Now!" Kosuke yelled. Sora's eyes opened quickly as he sat up.

"Did you have another nightmare? Well, it's not real, go back to sleep." He fell over again.

"No, dad! Miss Namine wants us at the hospital right now!"

Sora noticed that Kairi wasn't next to him and rose up immediately. "Whoa, what's going on?"

"I don't know, but I think I heard mom screaming in the background! Come on!"

"Oh shit!" Sora reached for his shoes. Right before he headed out the door, he said to Kosuke, "Never repeat that. Let's hurry! Get your brother!"

Akira had fallen back asleep. Sora yelled his name from the bottom of the stairs, trying to rush. He was scared beyond belief. Kosuke ran upstairs and literally pulled Akira out of his bed, making him land on the floor.

"Ow! What'd you do that for?"

"No time! Mom's at the hospital, come on!" Akira followed Kosuke down the stairs. Sora was already in the car.

"Hurry up!" He demanded. They ran and got into the back seat, almost forgetting to fasten their seatbelts. Sora speeded out of the driveway and onto the street.

"Please! Get her to the delivery room!" Namine pleaded, trying to help Kairi walk inside the hospital since she obviously couldn't carry her. A nurse rushed to get her a wheelchair and helped her sit down. Kairi screamed again. She wanted to cry from how much it was hurting.

"I hate this… I hate this, I HATE THIS!" Kairi repeated over and over in her head. Sora was on his way and he'd be there any minute. She needed him…

Namine and Haruka waited outside as nurses and doctors hurried in and out of the room that Kairi was giving birth. Namine wanted to be in there, but they wouldn't let her because she wasn't family. How messed up was that? She took Haruka to the front of the hospital and waited for Sora to arrive.

"DAMN TRAFFIC!" Sora yelled, honking a few times. Akira covered his mouth to try and hold back from laughing. He had never heard his father curse like this before. Kosuke, on the other hand was a little more serious about it.

They finally got to the hospital. Sora slammed the door and ran to the entrance, looking back once to tell the twins to hurry. Namine saw him coming.

"Sora! Kairi's down the hall in the last room to your left!" He nodded and sprinted down the hall, looking in the room before he entered. He heard Kairi's cries and opened the door right away. Some nurses tried to stop him.

"Wait, I'm her husband!" They moved out of his way. Sora pulled up a chair and sat next to Kairi's bed. She was taking deep breaths. Sora grabbed her hand and held onto it tightly. He took the rag that was next to the bed and put it over her forehead. She was really scared.

"Kairi… I'm here for you…"

Akira and Kosuke stayed with Namine. Sora had instructed them to do so. They sat right outside of the delivery room, hearing their mother's cries every now and then. Time passed by for them like sheep attempting to jump over an electric fence. Haruka was about to fall asleep again.

Hours and hours went by, and it wasn't until two AM when the cries stopped. Kosuke was halfway asleep, but Akira was wide-awake. Namine was too busy biting her nails out of impatience to sleep. A nurse came outside.

"You all may come in now." She smiled. Akira shook Kosuke and rushed into the room, followed by Namine holding Haruka.

"Where's the baby?" The twins said at the same time as they stood next to Sora. Kairi's eyes were closed and she was resting for a little bit.

"Just be patient…" Sora was shaking a little. Namine came up to them with Haruka, who was now awake.

"You know, it seems like forever when you're in here…" Sora said to Namine.

"I know… just imagine if you were in that position…" Sora shuddered at the thought.

"Man, if that's what its like to have a baby, then I'm never getting pregnant." Akira crossed his arms. They all stared at him strangely. Sora let out a small laugh.

"Don't worry, you won't ever get pregnant." They all laughed.

"You are such an idiot." Kosuke said to his brother. Kairi's eyes opened.

"Kairi! Are you all right?" Sora asked in a soft, but worried tone. She blinked a few times and nodded, and then took a big sigh.

The nurse came over to them carrying the baby girl in her arms. "Five pounds and six ounces. She had a little trouble breathing at first, but don't worry, everything's fine. What a beautiful child…" She handed the baby to Kairi. Kairi wanted to cry. She was beautiful. The baby started to cry. Namine took out her cell phone and took tons of pictures.

"What are we going to name her?" Akira asked. Sora and Kairi exchanged blank looks. Kairi still hadn't chosen a name for her, but then again, who can decide before the baby is born anyway?

It took everyone a while to come up with names, and whenever they would say one, Kairi would shake her head with disapproval. She wanted the perfect name.

"How about…" Sora said aloud, "Kiyori?"

It was strange. Kairi had thought about that name herself, and really liked it. After a long hesitation, she finally answered.

"Kiyori it is."
