James: It was Louisa's and Ritchie's birthday and so I decided to go over to Ronnie's house as their granddad Matt was babysitting. I managed to fix the Digi Port but me; Ronnie and Alex got separated from the three girls. Suddenly this Digimon attacked us, Gabumon digivoled but it wasn't enough. Suddenly Gulimon stood in front of me and Anastacia and digivoled to champion. He managed to save us!

Digimon 03

Chapter 8: The birth of Dana

(Kerry Ann, Anastacia, Alex, Ronnie, Katrina and Allyson all burst through the front door of Louisa and Ritchie's flat. Fortunaly Matt wasn't in the living area of the flat so the 6 children sank down onto the sofa in relief)

"How lucky was we!" Alex exclaimed, "I thought we were going to be in big trouble!"

"Don't count your chickens before they are hatched" Katrina said warningly "You never know he could be out in the kitchen trying to catch us out". Alex gave an evil glare to his best friend who also glared back

"He isn't clever enough for that" Ronnie muttered underneath his breath. Kerry Ann who was sitting next to Ronnie broke out into giggles while Anastacia who was trying to wake up Allyson who was dropping off to sleep glared at her cousin

"I think I better take Allyson to our bedroom" she apologised to the four remaining Digidestined "She looks as if she is going to fall asleep at any minute"

"Do you want me to come with you" Alex looked at the blonde haired girl who shook her head

"I think I will be fine Alex" she replied before she picked Allyson off the sofa and placed her around her neck

"Night Allie" Katrina waved at her cousin who gave a small smile as both of the English digidestined walked down the corridor towards the spare room. Ronnie and Kerry Ann started a discussion up about music while Alex started yawning himself. Katrina just placed her hands on her lap and stared into space. Suddenly Anastacia returned but with Matt as well

"Glad to see you 4 have come out from the bedroom" he gave a small smile. He gazed round the 4 children and smiled "Don't worry I am not going to give away your secret"

"Your not!" Katrina exclaimed. Matt shook his head

"No" he laughed "I was a Digidestined myself so I know what it is like sneaking off everywhere. But it's not just that I doubt your mother Anastacia would want Allyson staying up to 12 at her age. So no I just say she went to bed at the normal time"

"Where are our parents?" Alex asked his grandfather concerned "Shouldn't they be back from the meal"

"Well they were going out to a few nightclubs afterwards but Tony got a phone call from Ashley saying that Katie was having her baby. So they have gone there and I doubt they wont be back till at least mid morning."

"So can we stay up!"? Ronnie said excitedly

"Sorry kiddo but I think 1 o clock is too late for anyone, let alone young children" Matt laughed "Katrina and Kerry Ann can stop with Anastacia and Allyson in the other spare room, and Ronnie and Alex you can go in your room"

"Ok" the 5 children trudged off to their own bedrooms as Matt gave a small smile before he pulled the throwaway rug from underneath the sofa and he was too soon asleep

(Meanwhile in the Odiaba General hospital Ben/Casey, Tony/Kerry, Louisa/Ritchie, Dawn/Louis and Nicole/Ritchie were still waiting for news on Katie. They were the only digidestined Ashley could contact and James and Daemon were being looked after by Tai and Cody. Suddenly Ashley came out from the delivery room looking very tired)

"Ashley!" Ben exclaimed running up to his friend "How is she?" he asked meaning Katie

"Still no nearer" Ashley sighed, "I don't understand it" he rolled his eyes "Both Anastacia and Ronnie were both quick deliveries"

"Allie wasn't" Casey mumbled "10 hours I was in there with her. And Alex was no nearer as well" the blonde haired girl rolled her eyes

"Well it's different every time. It depends how stubborn the baby is when coming out." Kerry commented

"Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be going fine." Nicole said with a smile.

"I hope so." Ashley sighed, slumping against the chair he sat down in. "It's been hours! It's really exhausting, even for me. I dunno how you girls put up with it." He added with a small laugh.

"Hey if you think it's exhausting for you then its agonizing pain for us." Casey replied, also laughing. "You guys have got it easy."

"Yeah, you almost strangled me to death whilst giving birth to Allie." Ben joked. "Its like they say first child are the easiest the 2nd child is more difficult"

"Tell me!" Kerry rolled her eyes "Katrina was easy but Kerry Ann was more stubborn. Hold on" she paused "Wasn't it the other way for you Louisa?"

Louisa nodded "Yeah" she replied "Ronnie was easy but Alex was a nightmare" she complained "I suppose its how old you are as well when you have the baby has a factor in it as well"

"Anyway enough talk about babies" Ritchie butted in "What about talk about the new evil that is currently terrorizing the Digital World" he shuddered

"I dunno about that but I do remember that strange woman who came into my house on Allies birthday and nearly kidnapped Allie and Fleur!" Casey exclaimed

"You never told me about that" Kerry exclaimed

"Can we talk about all this evil stuff later? This is a stressing time at the moment." Ashley groaned. He then heard Katie scream out in pain from the delivery room. "I better get back in there. She needs me!" he exclaimed, jumping out of his seat and running back into the room.

(Meanwhile it was mid morning and James had only just gotten up. Yawning he stumbled towards the kitchen where he was surprised to see Cody and Tai drinking a cup of coffee)

"Grandfather Tai?" he asked surprised "Why are you here and where is my mum?"

"Your mum had to go out to the hospital because Katie is currently having her baby. Your mother wanted to be there so she rung me up asking if I could stop the night"

"Same with me" Cody nodded "But Damon hasn't got up yet"

"Cool!" James grinned, "I guess I better have some breakfast". As he walked towards the kitchen Tai just shook his head and smiled

"I wonder what sort of child Katie will have" Cody muses. Tai just shrugged as he drank his coffee

"I'm going to guess a girl" he smiled "I don't know why but I will"

Meanwhile back in the waiting room at the hospital, the others were still waiting on news about Katie and the baby. It had been a few hours now and no one had come out since Ashley had disappeared back in to the delivery room.

"How long is this gonna take?" Tony groaned. "I've read all the magazines here." He added, throwing the last magazine down on the table that was in the middle of the waiting room.

Suddenly the door to the delivery room opened and the doctor stepped out.

"You all here for Katie?" he asked.

"Yeah. Is she ok?" Ben asked, standing up with the others.

"Yeah she and the baby are doing fine. You can come in and see them now." The doctor said with a warm smile.

The others all left the waiting room and walked into the delivery room where they saw Katie holding the baby gently in her arms with Ashley standing next to her.

(Meanwhile it was mid morning and Alex, Katrina, Kerry Ann, Anastacia, Allyson and Ronnie were all watching TV. Suddenly the phone rang and Matt went to answer it)

"Hello" he answers. Suddenly his face breaks into a huge smile "Oh hi TK" he grins "You're a granddad oh that's great news. I bet Kari is excited as well". He then pauses for a few seconds "A girl… uh uh. Yeah ill tell Tai. Ill guess ill see you later. Bye". Matt then places the phone down and walks back into the living area

"Who was that granddad Matt?" Alex asks not wanting to keep his eyes away from the television screen"

"That was TK" Matt smiles "To say that they have had a baby and it is a girl". Anastacis jumps up and down and Allyson jumps up and down with excitement

"Can we go and see her!" Anastacia pleads

"Maybe not yet" Matt pauses "I think only immediate family can go so that would be TK.Kari, me and Tai plus their parents. But we can send a card and some presents

"Good idea" Katrina nods still smiling "That would pass the time on somehow" she gives a slight nod of her head

"Ill get out my colouring pencils!" Allyson exclaims as she runs quickly towards the spare room "I always knew they would come in handy for something" she smiles

"Don't we have some coloured card Ronnie?" Alex asks his brother who just shrugs

"I'm not really bothered," he mumbles

"I think we do then" Alex glares at his younger brother who doesn't pay any attention to the glare that Alex is giving him.

"Stupid Ronnie" Alex thinks to himself as he hunts about in the cupboard "Why doesn't he think of anyone but himself!"

DIGITAL WORLD

(Meanwhile in the Digital World Carl is looking up and down on the giant plasma screen he got installed in his base. Suddenly he clicks on a particular scene that has Robert on his mobile phone listening to a particular conversation that Ashley is giving him. Carl clicks on it so that the sound can filter through. Currently Robert is on the phone to Cleo)

"Hiya Cleo" Robert speaks into his mobile phone "Katie and Ashley have had their baby so im just going to pop into the hospital to give a few things. Do you want to come"

"Yeah sure" Cleo answers back "I'm just in the bath at the moment so I should be a few hours. You don't mind do you?"

"No of course not" Robert smiles "I need to get a few bits and pieces myself too. Ill call round about 2 ok. Bye!" and with that Robert switches his phone off and slips it into his pocket. Carl slams the screen with this fist, sick of all the romance that is going on between his 2 younger sisters and the 2 Digidestined

"I just can't believe her!" he exclaims "Her and Carla. Out of all the guys they could pick why could they choose them. Oh well" he smirks dialing a few numbers. After a few minutes Cleo answers

"Hello" she answers

"Cleo it's your darling brother here" Carl snickers "And I have a little job for you and Carla"

2Whats that" Cleo mumbles tossing her long black hair over her shoulders

"I know that you are going to the hospital to visit the proud parents of little miss Takeshi" Carl says, "When you go into the delivery room, I want you to place some water onto the head of the baby. That is all for now"

"But Carl I cant do that!" Cleo exclaims, "I won't be able to go into the delivery room that is just for the family

"I think you will do as I say Cleo!" Carl thunders down the phone "Unless you want to be part of this team!"

"I do" Cleo faulters but Carl buts back in

"THEN DO IT!" he yells before switching the phone off and sinking back into his seat and spinning round

(Meanwhile back in Odiaba Katrina, Kerry Ann, Alex, Allyson and Anastacia are admiring their work on the card that they made for Katie and Ashley. Ronnie was sulking on the sofa watching TV)

"That looks great!" Alex gave a broad smile. Katrina also nodded as she stood with her younger sister

"I think Katie will be pleased with it" Anastacia replied, "Well I hope so anyway," she laughed

(Suddenly Matt walked in through the front door of the flat)

"That looks great" he smiled "Ill have to go now to go to the hospital"

Louisa and Ritchie then walked in through the door and smiled at the 6 children

"I think you can go now dad," Louisa laughed. Matt just muttered something under his breath then walked out of the door carrying the card and the presents that he had bought later on

(Meanwhile back at the hospital Cleo and Robert walked in through the front doors of the hospital and walked up to where Katie's ward was. Suddenly a tall gentleman stood out in front of him)

"I'm sorry sir but you can't go in yet, It's for immediate family only" the gentleman explained

"But im the best friend of the dad!" Robert exclaimed "Cant I go and just see the baby for a few minutes"

Cleo pouted and the gentleman sighed, "Ill see what I can do," he murmured before he slipped into the delivery ward. Cleo and Robert stopped and waited until the gentleman came back outside

"Yeah ok" he sighed. Cleo and Robert grinned before they walked into the ward where Katie was sat up, with the baby in a cot next to her

"How is she?" Robert asked hugging Katie. Cleo just sat down in a chair next to the baby

"She's fine" Katie gave a small smile "Why don't you hold her Rob?" she glanced at the younger male who smiled

"Ok then" he grinned. Katie then gave the baby girl to Robert who just held her. He then glanced at Cleo

"Do you want to hold her?" he glanced at his girlfriend. Cleo looked at Robert as if to say are you joking

"Go on!" Katie urged her "She wont bite" she laughed

"Ok" Cleo murmured as Robert passed her the baby. Suddenly Cleo felt something go through her. She gulped and Robert glanced at her

"Are you ok Cleo?" he asked her. Cleo nodded

"I'm fine" she replied still holding the baby. The doctor then came into the room and glanced at Katie

"Mrs Takeshi there is someone out there to see you" he apologized "Do you need any help in carrying you out"

"I could do" Katie looked embarrassed "Rob would you?" she glanced at the male who nodded. Robert grabbed one of her arms while the doctor did the other. As the door closed behind them Cleo took the vial of powder out and sprinkled a few drops on the baby's head. As she was doing that Robert came back into the room

"Cleo what are you doing!" he exclaimed, "The baby isn't even 4 hours old yet"

"I'm sorry Robert but its for your own good" Cleo muttered placing the baby in the cot. With one sudden movement Robert was laid down on the ground. Cleo looked stricken as she dashed out of the hospital ward. Meanwhile in the Digital World Carl was clapping his hands in glee

"That's my sister!" he grinned; "Now the fun can really begin!"

(It was a few days after the baby had been born and Ashley and Katie had decided to name her Dana. Alex and Anastacia walked up to the front door of the flat and knocked sharply on at. After a few moments of waiting Ashley answered it)

"Oh hi Alex and Anastacia" he gave a tired smile "What are you doing her?"

"We came to see Dana" Alex smiled "Can we?"

"Yeah sure" Ashley nodded letting the 2 children in "But just don't wake her she was up all last night crying. Katie is still asleep as well"

"We wont" the two children promised as they walked into the room where the cot was being kept. Katie was asleep on the bed fast asleep as the 2 children looked at the cot where Dana was sleeping peacefully

"She looks so peaceful" Anastacia whispered not wanting to wake the baby

"Yes" Alex nodded still smiling; Anastacia then turned and saw the cot moving

"Alex you haven't moved the cot have you?" she said shocked. Alex shook his head slow. Suddenly Dana was lifted out of the cot by a powerful force and was lifted towards the computer, which automatically had the Digi Port on. Dana was swung into the computer and the Digi Port shut itself off. Alex and Anastacia watched open mouthed

"We are going to have to do something!" Alex exclaimed getting out his digivice "We can't just stay here and do nothing!"

"Your right" Anastacia nodded. Suddenly Katrina and James entered the room

"Alex where are you going?" Katrina replied her eyes widened

"Going to the Digital World to get Dana back" Alex announced holding his digivice to the screen "Don't worry we wont be long"

"But Al" James was about to say but it was too late as Anastacia and Alex were both sucked through the Digi Port. Katie then stirred and woke up

"I thought I heard voices," she mumbled. She then looked up and saw that Dana was missing

"Where is Dana!"? Katie exclaimed bursting into tears. Katrina and James both glanced at each other not knowing what to say. Suddenly Ashley ran into the room and saw his wife crying

"Katie what is wrong?" the bearer of hope said confused

"Its Dana" Katie gulped "Someone has taken her. And I think it's to the Digital World!"
