To say that Ken was depressed would have to be the understatement of the year. TK abnd Kari, being the kind people they were, took the freezing Ken and Wormmon back to their apartment, where Ken immediatly crashed into their couch, asleep from stress and tears.

Kari, who was currently in their kitchen making a snack sighed as she watched Ken sleep on the couch. TK walked in, grabbing a sandwhich that Kari was holding out to him. He tsked.

"Poor guy. It must be tough on him. I still can't believe that this sweet guy used to the Digimon Kaiser" he said, biting into his sandwhich.

"TK, I really don't think now is the best time for that, but you are correct" argued Kari. She sighed, nibbling on her sandwhich. "He really has changed his life around. You have to give him credit for that."

TK nodded, flipping on the television that was across the room from the couch. Their entire apartment was dine in soft pinks and dark grays. The couch that Ken was lying on was black, the only thng that was black besides a chair that matched it. It was leather, and TK and Kari could see a hint of drool emitting from Ken's mouth as he slept, even though it was closed.

"What do you think happened between the two of them? Ken seemed pretty upset, and it isn't like him to act like this" began Kari thoughtfully. TK nodded, gulping down a peice of his sandwhich. The kitchen was connected to the living room, and there were several shelves and tables around them. One large window was by the door, showing the balcony, and there was a single rocking chair, which Kari sat in, and the black leather chair that matched the couch that TK sat in. The room was dimly litted so that Ken could get some sleep.

"I'm not sure" spoke TK after a pause. "To be honest, the two of them have been acting strange since Ken was kidnapped from those strange digimon last week."

"You don't think that could have anything to do with this, do you TK?" proposed Kari worriedly.

TK shook his head, finishing his sandwhich. "Like I said. I'm not sure. It's hard saying with Davis. He can be such a hot head at times. His temper gets the better of him. And I'm guessing that's all that's happened."

Kari and TK both sighed, silently watching Ken sleep.

"Davis? Sweetie?" rang the voice of Davis' mother. She peeked into his room, only to gasp at the very sight of it. "DAVIS! What in earth has happened in here? And where is all of Ken's stuff? He won't be happy with you when he comes back!"

Davis, who was currently sitting in the middle of his room, which was that of a war zone, clothes everywhere, tables knocked over; nothing was in the right place, ignored her. He sat in the middle of everything, his knees brought up to his chest and his face hidden in his arms, which were wrapped around his legs. He refused to look up. He didn't want to. He didn't want to have his mother see him crying...

TK and Kari had no choice but to go off and do other things; laundry and going to the grocery store, for example. They couldn't sit and wait for Ken to wake up and explain to him what was going on, for he had now been sleeping for a total of seventeen hours, and the two of them had things to do.

It was a brand new day and while TK and Kari were out and about, Wormmon, Gatomon, and Patamon tried relentlessly to wake Ken up, who badly needed a shower.

"You think he's dead?" asked Patamon after twenty minutes of trying to get him up. Wormmon shivered at the very thought at his spot on the floor, and Gatomon gave Patamon a glare.

"This isn't the time Patamon, and besides, you're scaring Wormmon. I'm sure he's just really tired" purred Gatomon. Patamon closed his mouth, his little wings drooping a bit.

"It's fine Gatomon, really. I've seen Ken in worse situations" mumbled Wormmon assuringly.

Gatomon smiled and jumped up in her cat-like way and tapped Ken on the head. "Ken, come on, get up" she tried. The room was still darkened for Ken's sleeping pleasure, however, the three digimon could still see that Ken was nowhere near waking up. Altough, Ken did scrunch his nose up, as though he smelled something bad, his face went blank afterwards.

Wormmon pouted. "Oh please Ken. Wake up..."

"Why is he here anyways?" Patamon suddenly spoke, hoping to bring conversation into the room. Wormmon sighed and soon two sets of eyes were on him.

"I don't know...Ken was in tears when he ran in to get me after being in Davis' room. I had been eating my strawberries when I heard Davis screaming at him. Davis then came out and grabbed me by my anteana and threatened to hurt me." Gatomon and Patamon gasped at the very thought. Wormmon sighed and continued, looking at the floor instead of them. "Ken ran out and saved me, holding me close, and Davis then told him to leave, which Ken did. In tears might I add. And I tried asking Ken what the matter was, however Ken was too stressed and was crying too much to answer me properly. That was when TK and Kari pulled up in their black car and brought us here."

Silence ensued after Wormmon's speech of his point of view. Gatomon and Patamon could only look at the two with wide eyes. Neither of them realized that Wormmon specifically left out the part about Ken being pregnant.

"Well it's obvious the two of them argued over something" Patamon finally said, breaking the terrible silence. The other two nodded. "But now the question is, what was the argument about?"

"I don't know" lied Wormmon. "All I do know is that Ken has been acting awfully strange lately."

Gatomon, who had been standing beside Ken on the couch this whole time, jumped down from the couch, landing on all four of her paws. "What do you mean by that?"

Wormmon shrugged the best way a worm like him could. "I don't know really...It's just that he's seemed more distant from both me and Davis this last week, and has been on the phone an awful lot. He's said the name Joe a lot of times while on the phone too."

"Joe?" asked Patamon and Gatomon at the same time. They exchnaged looks and then turned back to Wormmon.

Wormmon looked at them with curious eyes. "What? Does that mean something?"

"Not neccessarily..." answered Gatomon. "It's just that a boy named Joe was part of the original digidestined team." Wormmon perked up at this, interested. "He bears the Crest of Reliability. Maybe Ken's been talking to him."

"Joe's a doctor you see, and I suppose the two would get along well. He and Ken have a lot in common" inquired Patamon. Wormmon nodded his head.

Ken let out of groan as he rolled into a different posistion on the couch. Wormmon was up at his side in a flash. "Ken?"

Ken brought his hands to his eyes and rubbed them, stretching as he did so. He then slowly opened his eyes to see Wormmon's big blue worried ones looking at him. "Hi" he managed in a raspy whisper.

Ken slowly sat up, pushing Wormmon slowly down to his lap and looked around. "Where am I?" he asked blearily.

"TK and Kari's apartment" replied Patamon, who was now flying in the air so that Ken could see him.

"Oh..." groaned Ken, as memories of the previous night flooded back into his mind. He instictively placed a hand over his stomach, grabbing the attention of the three digimon.

"What's the matter? Sick?" asked Gatomon, concerned for her partner's friend. Ken looked down at her and smiled.

"Yeah, you could say that" he mumbled, slowly standing up. "Do you know where the shower is? I hope TK and Kari don't mind if I take a shower."

"They won't" Patamon said matter-of-factly. Ken grabbed his duffle bag from the floor beside the couch and followed Gatomon as she walked him to the bathroom. Wormmon and Patamon followed, but only Wormmon walked into the bathroom after Ken, who then shut the door after mumbling a thank you to the cat digimon.

Once the door was shut, Ken now had enough privacy to cry. He fell to the floor, Wormmon at his side, and leaned against the wall beside the door. Silent tears fell as he tried not to make too much noise, not wanting the others to know he was crying. Wormmon slipped into his lap, trying his best to cheer Ken up, but it was all in vain.

After several moments, Ken finally composed himself and got out his tooth brush and tooth paste, his shampoo and brush. He set them on the bath tub siding and slowly stripped of his clothing. Wormmon turned around to give his partner his privacy, not understanding the full reason on doing so, only knowing that Ken wanted it. Ken then turned the shower water on and slipped in, even though the water was freezing cold. Instead of standing, he sat down, pulling his knees up to his chest. He let the water pour down on him, praying that all his problems would wash away.

Davis slowly uncurled himself from the ball he had been sitting in all day. Dem-Veemon was bouncing at his feet, trying to get him up. All day the little blue ball of energy had been either trying to get Davis to come out of his shell, or cleaning up the room, to Davis' meer shock.

"Come on Davis!" he cried, bouncing up and down. Davis' stomach growled, yet he didn't wish to eat. He was afraid that anything he ate would only cause him to throw it back up with the way he was feeling right now.

"Demi-Veemon..." moaned Davis. "What have I done?" Demi-Veemon only cocked his head to one side. "I scared him...Frightened him...I...hurt him..." Davis let a small smile form on his lips. "And all because he told me he was pregnant. What's so wrong with that?"

Silence was the only thing that answered Davis' question. He looked up at the ceiling, closing his eyes. "Everything is such a blur from yesterday. Anger. I remember seeing lots of red in my eyes. From all the fury. I remember yelling at him that I would have to tell my parents that he was...pregnant. But like that's a bad thing. I can't have kids anyway, and I am 18. And we are in love. My parents realize that..."

"You should saying this all to Ken, Davis. Not me" Demi-Veemon pointed out. Davis nodded, looking down at him.

"You're right. I should be." Davis stood at this. "I have to find him. Wherever he is, and fix this mess I've made."

Ken was still sitting in the shower when TK and Kari arrived later in the afternoon. The two of them could hear the water running from out in the living room and Kari walked up to the bathroom door and knocked on it gently.

"Ken? Is that you?" asked Kari almost timidly. No answer, however, the sound of someone slowly washing themself could be heard. Kari then heard the sobbing. "Ken? Are you alright? Why are you crying?"

"Leave me alone, please Kari. I'll be out in a bit" Ken called out to her.

Kari had no choice but to leave him be, so she walked back into the living room where TK was waiting.

"He's taking a shower. Poor thing's in there sobbing too" she added. TK shook his head. That was when someone knocked on the door. TK went to get it as Gatomon jumped up into Kari's arms, smiling.

TK looked back at them and smiled as he turned the door handle, and when he opened up the door, he was shocked to see Davis there.

"Davis?" asked TK. Davis was currently out of breath.

"Hey TK, um...I was wondering...have you by chance...seen Ken around...?"

TK's face immediatly turned stone cold. "Why?" he asked curtly, almost demandingly. Davis seemed oblivious to his sudden anger.

"I'm trying to find him...see...He got angry with me last night and-"

"Are you sure it isn't the other way around?" asked TK, trying very hard to control his anger, having a sudden feeling of protection towards Ken.

Davis looked up, for he had been panting for breath, his hands on his knees. "What?"

"Are you sure you didn't get angry with him?" TK repeated, only saying it slightly different so that Davis would understand.

"How do you-?" TK cut Davis off.

"He's here Davis. And a mess might I add" sneered TK.

"Wha-?" Davis was dumbfounded. "H-He's here? I knew I should have come here first! I've been looking all over for him! And what do you mean by, 'Are you sure things aren't the other way around'?"

"Ken's been sobbing non-stop ever since we picked him up off the street and brought him here. And the only time he wasn't sobbing, he was sleeping" TK explained through gritted teeth.

"May I see him?" asked Davis, trying to get a look inside the apartment, but TK wouldn't allow him to.

"No."

"Why not?" demanded Davis.

"You don't deserve to see him" hissed TK. The two boys glared daggers at each other for several minutes until a voice broke their evil glare war.

"Let him come in TK" came Ken's voice. It was choked up with emotion. TK, surprised, looked back behind him, only to see Kari standing a few feet away, her small white sun dress contrasting against the dim litted room. All she could do was smile a half smile, and lightly pointed to the couch with her hand. TK then saw that Ken was now lying on it again. He was dressed in his green pajamas, his hair still wet, his face hidden underneath the nook of his elbow as he laid on his stomach.

Davis immeadiately jumped for his chance, and bypassed the shocked TK and ran over to the couch. Kari side stepped so that she was out of his way.

"Ken!" cried Davis. He knelt down beside the couch and slowly touched his hair. Ken froze at his touch for a moment, then relaxed.

"Hi..." was all Ken could say. That was when Davis realized that Ken was shivering, and not from the cold either.

"Look Ken, about last night...I'm sorry" began Davis gently. Ken didn't move, he didn't even make any recognition that he heard him. "Ken? Please...Just..Give me another chance. You just took me by surprise was all. I wasn't thinking right. But it can all be okay. I'll just tell my parents that you got pregnant. We had sex...and it happened. We're 18...it's allowed...my mom wants grandchildren anway..."

Davis soon realized that he was babbling and shut himself up. He took a glance around the room, only to find it empty, however, Davis could see the shadow of TK in the hallway. He was being watched. Ken still hadn't moved, however, he had stopped trembling. "Please Ken. Give me another chance...please." Davis was at the point of begging when he gently kissed Ken's head.

Ken reacted to that. He slowly sat up and laid against the couch. Davis sat next to him, noticing that Ken had not yet looked at him, instead only the floor.

Davis decided to continue when Ken finally looked up at him. Davis smiled before he started. "I'll tell them that...well...I'll tell them about the Digital World."

Ken's eye widened at this. "Y-You haven't told them yet?" croaked Ken. Davis shook his head.

"No. And I think now would be a good time for me to" replied Davis, wrapping an arm around Ken. Ken gave the tiniest hint of a smile, yet it disapeared quickly.

"You're not mad at me anymore?" asked Ken, leaning away from him. Davis shook his head. "You said you'd never leave me...and you did..."

Davis sighed, shaking his head. "Ken, if I left you would I be sitting right here next to you?"

Ken went stiff, yet relaxed after the thought sunk in. "No..." Ken smiled at his own stupidity, leaning back into Davis' chest.

"So we had an argument, I lost my temper...It happens..." said Davis on a lighter note. Ken nodded, putting a hand on his stomach.

"S-So is the name Davis Jr. back on the table?" joked Ken. It took Davis a moment to see what Ken was talking about, then remembered what Ken had mentioned about names yesterday, trying to cheer him up with the idea of having a baby. Davis nodded.

"Sure it is...Now, let's get you home..." Davis moved to get off the couch, pulling Ken along, however, Ken remained where he was.

"What's wrong?" asked Davis.

"I don't want this to happen again..." whispered Ken. "I don't want this to happen everytime something happens that you don't like...I'm sorry...But I'm scared of you now..."

Davis gaped at this. "Ken! There is nothing to be scared of! I promise you!"

"That's what you said before!" agrued Ken.

Davis sighed, kissing Ken on the forehead. "Please, just give me another chance."

Ken looked into Davis' begging eyes and was suddenly surpised when Davis gave him the puppy dog eyes. Ken smiled broadly, unable to resist such a cute face. "Alright. I'll give you another chance."

Ken stood up at this, and Davis was pleased to see that Ken was suddenly very excited about something.

"Oh, Davis. I'm sorry about this last week, me talking on the phone so much, but I've been speaking with Joe, who first told me about all this. He says that eveything should be fine, and that if taken care of properly, we might just be able to have a healthy baby."

Davis was delighted to see that Ken had forgiven him, and has seemed to have forgotten about the night before, although, Davis could tell that Ken would still be touchy about the subject. As long as it wasn't mentioned, he figured they would fine.

TK and Kari had by now rea-merged from the hallway, TK having an arm draped around Kari's shoulder. They were both smiling. Wormmon jumped up into Ken's lap and smiled brightly.

'Maybe things won't be so bad' thought Ken. He had no idea just how right he was.

Ken moved back into Davis' room the next day. Mrs. Motomiya was thrilled, however, she didn't know exactly why Ken left, or even that he left at all. Davis had told her that he and Ken were re-doing their room, and that was why all his stuff had been moved. But when Ken looked at Davis severly later that night at dinner, Davis gulped, knowing that it was a time of truth.

"Mom? Dad? Jun?" spoke davis clearly. They were eating steak. The three of them looked up, as Ken looked further down into his plate, trying not to attract attention.

"Yes dear?" spoke his mother.

"Remember all those years ago...The Digimon?" asked Davis.

"Oh, you mean those worthless creatures that came and racksacked the town? Yeah" replied Jun rudely.
