-Chapter 5-
Sora paced the palace garden, anxiously. It had been several long months since Kairi had come to him with the news that they were to be parents.
Even now, when Kairi was delivering the child she'd carried,
he found it hard to believe. It was like a dream. The perfect ending to his fairytale romance.
And a fairytale romance it had been. Right down to the part about the brave warrior saving the sleeping Princess.
And now that Princess was his Queen, his wife, and the mother of his child.
Sora wondered what the child would be. They had opted not to be told the child's gender, wanting it to be a surprise. He had decided to name the child Sarah if it was a girl, or Alex if it were a boy. Those were good names for a prince or princess.
The midwife walked up to him. The butterflies in his stomach started doing aerobics. "Congratulations," she told him. "You have a fine son, your majesty"
Sora ran to Kairi's room.
Kairi was holding a tiny, newborn baby boy in her arms. The child was wrapped in warm blankets and resting fitfully.
"Do you have a name for your son?" the midwife asked.
"A- "
Kairi put a hand over his mouth, shaking her head affectionately.
"This isn't Alex, dear," she told him. "Oh dear," she added, "this blanket doesn't seem to be on just right. Could you fix it for me,
Sora"
Sora took the baby and unwrapped the blanket in order to adjust it.
As he looked at the platinum hair on the infant's head, his eyes widened. Kairi was right. It wasn't Alex at all.
The child's name fell from his lips in a whisper as soft as light,
but with a resonance as deep as shadow. "Riku"
And there was no doubt in his mind, that was exactly who the child in his arms was.
