Rain poured down on Destiny Islands, pattering off the glass windows of the quaint Destati household. It was the rainy season of the islands, children and adults alike staying in after the long day, to laze away listening to the steady rhythm of the raindrops. However inside of the timid-looking Destati household, Sora was tackled by his devious pair of twins. The brunette laughed joyfully, ruffling Kal's silvery hair and letting Kite cling to his jean covered leg as Sora tried to waddle carefully into the living room.
"MAMA-" Kite began.
"MAMAAA-" Kal echoed his younger brother.
"Tell us a story!" the twins said in unison before being tossed lovingly onto the living room's couch. Sora plopped down between them, letting out a tired sigh as he laid his head back.
"Why?" Sora whined childishly, the 30 year-old covering his head with one of Kairi's fluffy pillows. "Can't you watch TV instead?" The brunette's question was replied when his seven year-olds pounced and began chattering.
"NOO-!" Kal whined, pulling on Sora's cheek.
"TV is boring!" Kite pouted, pulling on the other cheek.
"And anyways, we broke the TV. Remember Mama?" Kal reminded his 'Mama.' Sora groaned, remembering when Kal and Kite decided to shoot at the TV with their slingshots.
"And Daddy said we were 'grounded,'" Kite said, hugging Sora's arm tightly, Kal clinging to the other arm.
"Ah well…fine!" Sora said, "Story about what?" The twins stared at each other before bouncing away on Sora's lap.
"About how-" Kite began, his blue eyes sparkling with glee.
"-When we were born!" Kal finished, mimicking his brother.
"Well…" Sora began, thinking it out. "A crane flew by our house and dumped you two in Daddy's, Auntie Kairi's, and my lap. There's your story."
"NUHUH!" the twins whined, tugging on Sora's red sweater. "Tell the truth!" Sora groaned again, ruffling the twin's silvery hair.
"Okay, okay." Sora sighed heavily, balancing Kairi's pillow on his spiky hair. "It began seven years ago. After Daddy and Mama were married for three years. See the problem was that…Mama couldn't have babies." The twins gasped, looking at Sora with a "No way!" look.
"So, one day. Daddy and I went to ask Kairi, who wasn't living with us at the moment, if she would…carry you two in her belly for nine months so you can…um…what's the word?"
"Develope?" Kite asked, nibbling away at another one of Kairi's pillows.
"Yeah! Develope!" Sora smiled, patting Kite on the head before continuing his story. "To put it simply, she said yes and went to a special place to put you guys in Auntie Kairi's belly. After nine months of laughter, angry fits, and tears, you two popped out of her! In fact, Auntie Kairi's doing it again, except with your baby sister." The twins stared at each other before looking at Sora.
"That's not a good story," they said in unison, jutting their bottom lips out in a pout.
"Yeah, Mama's never been one to be a good story teller." a rich voice chuckled behind the trio.
"DADDY!" the twins yelled joyfully, jumping off of Sora and toward their silver-haired father. Sora laughed, standing up and walking over to his beloved husband.
"How'd it go, Riku?" Sora asked, pecking Riku on the lips and running his hands though short silvery hair. Riku had cut it off long time ago, thinking that he looked better with short hair. Sora agreed with Riku; then again, he loved everything about his husband.
"Ask Kairi," Riku said, letting the twins cling tightly to his legs as he began to wander into the kitchen, a bag of groceries in each hand. Sora turned toward the doorway, seeing the red haired female waddle in, her belly swollen and full. A large flowery dress flowed about her, giving her a nice healthy glow.
"How was it Kairi?" Sora asked, kissing her on the cheek, accompanied by a brotherly hug.
"My feet are killing me. Other than that, it was dandy." Kairi smiled sweetly as she allowed Sora to lead her into the kitchen. When they entered, they saw Kal and Kite prancing around the table.
"Hey, watch it!" Sora said, wagging a finger at them. "Don't want to poke an eye out!" The twins slowed down while Riku put the eggs away into the refridge.
"'Kay Mama…" the twins said, sitting down. "We're hungry!"
"I want cereal!" Kal commanded.
"We want Lucky Charms!" Kite said, waving his arm around.
"No, I want Trix!" Kal whined, the two beginning to get into an argument.
"Trix is better!"
"No! Lucky Charms!"
"Trix!"
"Lucky CHAAAARRRMS."
"That's enough!" Kairi said, her blue eyes darkening slightly. "Kal can have his bowl of Trix, and Kite can have his Lucky Charms. Just quiet down…" The red haired female sat down on the living room couch closest to the kitchen.
"Yes Auntie Kairi," the twins said in unison, quieting down as Riku began making them their cereal.
"Kairi…" Sora said, sitting down next to her. "Feeling okay?"
"Just…tired, remember?" Kairi said, laying down and putting her feet in Sora's lap. Kairi had been living with Riku and Sora for over 6 years, helping to take care of the couple's children. The Princess of Heart had lost her feelings for the 30 year-old brunette, replacing them with brotherly affection. "Rub my feet, will you?"
"'Kay," Sora smiled, beginning to do so. "So um…King Mickey gave me a call today…well like…transmitted a video message thing to me."
"Really now…" Kairi said thoughtfully, looking up at the ceiling fan. "What did he want to talk about?"
"He wanted to invite us over to Disney Castle for a mini-vacation. After all…it's been...how many years?" Sora asked Riku as the silver haired male walked into the living room with the twins.
"About 8 years since we last visited them…" Riku said, drying his hands on his black pants as Kal and Kite began hopping about in the room.
"So…I would be happy to see Goofy, Donald, King and Queen Minnie, but it all depends on whether you guys want to go," the brunette male nodded.
"All fine with me, but I don't think Kal and Kite ever went on a gummi ship before…and Kairi's pregnant, too," Riku said, sitting on the opposite couch as the twins plopped down next to their father. Kairi shrugged nonchalantly, finding the idea okay to deal with.
"Visiting the King and the others would be worth the trip of traveling in space."
"Gummi ship!" Kal exclaimed, tugging on Riku's shirt.
"What's that, what's that Daddy!" Kite asked excitedly.
"See well…" Riku began, beginning to explain the concept of gummi ships to his two sons. The twins staring up at their father in awe as he narrated the story while the rainfall outside beginning to quiet down.
