Davis walked out into the waiting room, furious. TK was right behind him, his eyes wide and confused. The nurse had shooed the two boys away so that ken and the twins could get some sleep. As the two walked into the room, the others looked at them expectantly.
"Well?" asked Kari first, wringing her hands together. "How are they?"
Davis looked at her, his face contorted in anger. "Why don't you ask TK. For he appears to be the most 'involved'".
"What?" they all asked, except TK.
"Davis, what are you talking about?" asked TK from behind Davis. Davis swirled around quickly, scaring TK a bit.
"What do I mean?" repeated Davis. "What do I mean? I'll tell you what I mean!"
"Davis!" cried Cody, grabbing Davis' arm, afraid he was about to punch the blonde.
Davis struggled a bit to get out of Cody's grasp. "Let go you little shrimp!" Cody let go of Davis, letting the spiky haired boy put his full attention back at TK.
"Wait, wait. What did TK do?" demanded Yolei, who was standing next to a frightened Kari.
The goggle boy ignored them all, his eyes focusing in on TK. "Answer me this TJ! Why the hell do the twins have BLONDE hair?"
TK took a step back, careful not to drop the two light blue teddy bears he was holding, had not been able to give them to Ken or the twins. "Th-They have blonde hair?"
"YES! And I want to know why!" screamed Davis, earning a few scolding looks from the nurses walking around them.
"Well how should I know?" shot back TK. Davis didn't reply to this, knowing he wouldn't be able to answer it.
"Only Ken would know that" piped up Kari, who immediatly regreted saying it when Davis turned on her quickly to glare at her.
"What?" he whispered. Kari looked at her feet.
"Well, I would think only Ken would know the answer to that Davis. I mean, he was the one who...saw you first, or...says he did anyway..."
Realization seemed to finally dawn on Davis. He looked at TK, who held a nasty scowl.
"TK..." began Davis. "That night...was it me...or you who walked in first...?"
"It was you" replied the blonde emotionlessly.
Davis nooded, his eyes unfocused, not really looking at anything. "But then...? How?"
Soft giggles could be heard in the After-Delivery Room where Ken was currently stationed. A thin tube was tied to his wrist, where a line of blood was being rushed in. During the C-Section, Ken had lost a lot of blood, and the procedure had been rather difficult and long, considering he was a male. Joe checked in on Ken every half hour, checking to mkae sure his blood bag was going on empty.
Ken was lying back in the fluffy white bed, two bundles of blue and peach in each arm. A little green critter that looked remarkably like a large catipillar, sat half hidden next to him, a large pillow in the way for anyone besides Ken or the babies to see him. Yolei had been kind enough to sneak him in, so that the little critter could enjoy some time with ken, and get to meet the twins for the first time.
"Are human babies always this small Ken?" Wormmon was asking. Ken laughed lightly.
"Yes Wormmon. They are always this small. Sometimes even smaller" whispered ken, trying not to grab the attention of any of the nurses. Joe knew about Wormmon being in there, and promised to have some of the nurses cut back on their check ups.
"So, have you chosen names for them? Or are you just going to call them twins?" asked Wormmon curiously, not knowing how these things worked. This only made Ken laugh again.
"No silly. I'm not sure what I'm going to name them yet. I figure Davis and I will do that together. We can each pick a name for one of them. That way it's fair" explained Ken.
"Yeah, if Davis ever talks to you again" mumbled Wormmon. Ken froze a second, then turned to his digimon partner.
"What?"
Wormmon looked up, not realizing the damage he was causing. "Davis. He was really angry in the waiting room after you went to sleep. Yolei had me in her bag when he was yelling at TK."
"Why was he yelling at TK?" asked Ken.
Wormmon shrugged the best way he could. "Something about the twins having blonde hair...I'm not sure" he shrugged again. Ken shook his head, looking down at his two loved ones. He kissed them both gently on their foreheads before slumping back more into the pillows and bed sheets.
"Why is their hair blonde?" questioned Ken to himself. Wormmon was just barely able to hear what he said, yet decided not to say anything.
Ken was slowly drifting back to sleep when-
"Oh my God!" he cried, jumping up a bit. Wormmon, suprised, got in the way of the babies so that they wouldn't get hurt, even though they were still in his arms.
That was when a nurse walked in, smiled down at Ken, and slowly lifted the babies from his arms. Ken was too dazed to say anything about this. The nurse took one look at his face and smiled.
"Aww. Poor thing. You should just lay back and relax, alright sweetie?" she soothed, gently pushing Ken back into the pillows. She then walked out of the room after seeing the twins tucked away safely beside Ken's bed. Wormmon watched as ken's hand lifted itself up to his mouth.
"Wormmon...I just made the biggest mistake of my life..." he croaked.
"Even bigger than being the Digimon Kaiser?" asked Wormmon stupidly.
Silence. "Second biggest mistake then."
"Yes, and what was that?" asked Wormmon, cocking his head to one side.
"Davis doesn't have blonde hair...but TK does...which means..."
Awkwardness filled the waiting room as everyone tensely sat there. Yolei, Kari, and Cody all sat on the left side of the room, all sitting next to each, TK was a few seats beside them, and Davis was clear on the other side, glaring at the floor.
"Mr. Motomiya? Mr. Takashi? Ken would like to see you both now" came the voice of the voice at the receptionist desk. Everyone's head turned to her.
"The both of us?" asked TK uncertainly.
"Yes" answered the nurse. Davis and TK tensely walked behind the nurse and into Ken's room, where Ken waited for them, nervously twiddling with his hair.
"H-Hey love" he said to Dvais, motioning for Davis to come and let him get a kiss. Davis did no such thing, which didn't surprise Ken in the slightest.
TK and Davis both sat in chairs that were in front of the bed Ken was lying in.
"Um...I have something to tell the both of you..." started Ken. TK and Davis looked at Ken fixedly. Ken took in a deep breath and began. "I wanted to let the two of you know that...The names of the twins are to be...Iniko and Kiyoshi..."
Davis and TK literally hit the floor in anticipation when he said this, for they had not expected that.
"Oh" they mumbled. Ken nodded at their reactions, and waited until they sat back completely in their seats, for they had been leaning foward before.
"Yes. That is what I have named them. They are both nice, boy names and I think that they will fit the twins nicely" spoke ken again, trying to put a smile on his face. It didn't work.
"Ken" Davis forced himself to say. TK looked at Davis. "Why don't you explain to us why the twins have blonde hair, huh?"
Ken sat up more straight at this, trying to figure out what to say wothout looking too nervous. "Well, the bottom line is...That night...when um...we were- I! I was in there...chained up. I heard you and TK behind the door. I heard you Davis" He pointed to Davis. "Shouting about your ankle, and I...closed my eyes from my own sudden pain...and" Ken looked up at TK, his eyes filled with sadness and regret. "And I saw TK in my mind's eye, helping you, Davis, with your ankle. That's it. That's how it happened. TK, you helped Davis up, and Davis walked in first, for he had insisted upon it."
There were silence for several moments as Ken's story sunk in.
"So...This entire time..." began Davis. "I've thought I was the father, when really, it was TK who was?"
"Basically" sighed Ken. "And Davis, I'm sorry! I didn't know! It happened all so fast, I mean I-I didn't know it counted when I pictured TK. I couldn't even help it! I-"
"Shut up! Just shut up! I don't want to see your nasty face again Ichijouji!" With that, davis shot up from his chair and stormed out of the room, leaving a jittery TK in his place.
"Listen TK. I just want you to know that, you can be as involved in this as you want. If you don't wish to take any part, that's fine. I can raise them alone...I mean...Wormmon can help me" Ken explained, pointing to a sleeping Wormmon at the end of the bed. "I mean-"
TK stood up, making Ken nervous, but when Ken saw TK's face, he smiled. TK was smiling down at him. "Ken listen, none of this is your fault. I'm sorry Davis can't realize this, but it's true. And I promoise, I'll be here with you the whole way."
Those were the best words Ken had heard in days.
