Disclaimer: I don't own any characters you recognize from the KH Games. This includes all the FF characters as well.

Sorry it took so long to update! Been on a writers block! Thanks to the two people that reviewed, but I'd like to get a few more, if possible! Thanks to all the people that read! BTW, don't hurt me, but all the main female characters are pregnant. Makes for a dramatic reunion, don't you think? Olette, Wendy, and Tinkerbell aren't pregnant. It would get to be a bit redundant, no?

They walked down the beach hand in hand, taking in the sunlight and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. They had returned to Destiny Islands on a hiatus, and would have to return to Disney Castle in the morning. The three months met them happy, and each day showed Kairi getting a little bigger. She was now about four months pregnant, and was now visibly so.

She shivered, and Sora wrapped his jacket around her shoulders. Although they lived on an island, it was getting to be the time of year that it got cold around sunset. She sat down on the sand near the hut they used to play in, and tucked her legs up straight to her swelled stomach. He sat beside her, and rubbed the back of her hand. She looked at him, and saw a rare frown cross his face.

"You're going to try and make me stay, aren't you?"

"Here? No."

"But you'll leave again, and not take me with you."

"Yes. Mickey and Minnie are letting you stay at the castle, where the mousketeers will keep you safe." (Lol. Mousketeers.)

"Damn it, Sora! I don't want the mousketeers! I want you! Besides, what if the baby comes, and you're not here!? How will you feel if I have to call you to tell you your child was born? How will you feel if you die without ever seeing your baby? How will you feel if you die without ever seeing me again?" She began to cry, and although he knew the baby was causing her to be overemotional, he knew also that she was hurting inside, and that she had a valid point.

"I would feel like shit. You know that. But Kairi, I don't want to lose you either! You're the most important thing in my life, the only thing. And when this baby, our baby, decides to come, it will be just as important to me as you are. You know that. I've been through this before. I've stood at the gates of Kingdom Hearts and locked my best friend and King inside. That killed me inside. And then you appeared, and everything was all right. But I had to let you go again! That time was the worst time I've ever experienced. Damn it, Kairi! I don't want to leave you! I don't want to leave the baby! But I have to! As the Keyblade master, I can't help it that the worlds are in danger, and that I have to save it!" He kissed her forehead. "I love you too much to let you die. I know that you have the keyblade, and your magic, but there is nothing in this world that would hurt me more than having you die, especially like this. That's what the villains want, to hurt me. The mousketeers will keep you safe, and that will put a little peace on my mind. I will think of you everyday, and will long to get back to you. In four months, I'll come to the castle, just to be with you until the baby is born. I don't care if Mickey objects! Not even the titans will keep me from you." He nuzzled into her neck, and hugged her until her tears stopped, and his own with them. He carried her sleeping form back to the house, and held her close all through the night.

Meanwhile...

Mickey stood on the veranda, his chin resting against Minnie's head, between her ears, his arms wrapped around her waist. He didn't want to leave her, not again. All that time he had been locked in Kingdom Hearts, all he could think about was her. There was a chance that he might not come back, not ever, and Minnie knew that. Her eyes flowed over with tears, and he held her close.

"Shucks, Minnie. I'll be back. Four months from now, Sora will want to come home to see Kairi and the baby, and I'll be with him. I have two of the best fighters in the world by my side, and not to mention Squall and Cloud. They'll be there too. Yuffie will want to come also, but I doubt Leon will let her, especially now that she's pregnant."

"I know. I'll just miss you is all."

"I'll miss you too. You know there's nothing more important to me than you. I would give up the entire kingdom just to get back to you. To not have to leave, even. Besides, you'll have all three of the women here. Kairi, Yuffie, and Aerith. They'll all be here, pregnant as can be. You'll have lots of company, and excitement. Especially with Aerith due to pop any day now."

"I know. Sora and them will be mad as hatters to get back here. I imagine Cloud's regretting having to leave."

"Yeah. He knows his duty though, and Aerith told him that it was all right. I've never met a stronger woman than Aerith, besides you. Cloud knows she'll be fine."

"It'll be hard, raising three little babies here."

"I have faith in you."

"I know you do. I'll make sure everything's fit for you to come back to."

"It'd better be. I don't want to fight my tail off just to come back to you not being here. It'd break my heart."

"Where's Selphie? She's going to have the twins soon, isn't she?"

"Yes, but Riku said that it's unlikely that she'll be attacked, especially since we're the only ones that know she's even pregnant. From what I understand, she's been living in Twilight Town with Olette all this time. Not even her parents know she married Riku, or that she's pregnant."

"That must be hard on her."

"I imagine so." There was an awkward silence again. Minnie spoke first this time.

"I love you. So much."

"I know. I love you to. Now, let's go to sleep."

They went to bed, but Minnie was up late into the night thinking about what was going to happen. Little did she know that her husband was up alongside her, later than she was even, and was praying for the best to happen. He would be home soon, definitely. Not even Hades could keep him at bay.

Also meanwhile... (A/N there will be a couple more of these, so bear with me)

Riku hugged his wife, and wiped the tears from her eyes. She was well along, and her stomach was now getting to drag her down. Poor Selphie, she had to carry twins. Riku kissed her cheek, and left through the front door, hugging a very ecstatic and weepy Olette, (no, she's not pregnant. Only one though, besides the queen.) and punching Hayner on the shoulder. They had become good friends since Selphie and he had come to live with them, on Sora's request. Roxas had agreed fully, and had appeared briefly to ask Olette for the favor.

He had enjoyed his vacation, but longed to see his best friends again. Especially since Kairi wouldn't be coming with them. He would have a short time to say goodbye to the pregnant princess, (haha alliteration) and would miss her terribly. It had been so long since he had believed himself in love with her that he had almost forgotten that time. She had forgiven his for acting like an ass, and that was all that mattered to him. He looked back to the house, and saw Selphie looking out the window, crying silently. He waved to her, and stepped into the gummi with the royal insignia on the side.

He hated leaving her, but knew that she would be safe with Hayner and Olette. They would do anything to protect her, and he felt safe in that knowledge. After all, wasn't Hayner the eight time Struggle champion since Roxas had gone? Riku had handed each of them Keyblades that had appeared in his hand as magically as Kairi's had that day in The Castle That Never Was. He hadn't been able to do that since that day, and doubted that he ever would again. He was happy that Selphie, Olette, and Hayner knew their Keyblades and how to use them, and was satisfied in the knowledge that they would and could defend themselves if necessary. He would miss his wife, but he would see her again as soon as Sora started itching to come back. The King never could resist Sora, and he would want to get back to Minnie. He would just hop on the first gummi to Twilight Town, and visit his wife and kids.

He ran a hand through his hair. A little while ago, he had imagined himself incapable of achieving the very thing that he would have in a little over two months. A family. A wife and kids seemed to be just beyond his grasp a little over three years ago. He had began to date Selphie, and realized that she had been his soul mate, just under his nose all those years. Kairi and Sora had been lucky, they had known they were meant for each other since they were kids. He had been the only hurdle in their relationship, and he regretted every second of his interference.

Selphie was his, and he was hers. He wouldn't have it any other way. He rested his forehead on the window of the Gummi Ship and watched the small town he had begun to call home disappear over the horizon, and he drifted to sleep, missing the warm body of his wife.

Meanwhile Again...

Cloud held Aerith's face in his hands, and kissed her lips slowly. She knew he regretted leaving, and knew that he didn't want to go. She rested her forehead on his, and moved his hands from her face to her stomach, where his child kicked his mother soundly.

Cloud laughed. His kid would grow up to be a blitz ball champion, he knew it. His poor wife though, having to carry around the star kicker.

She would keep their child safe. Maternal instinct, right? Her magic would serve her greatly in the coming months, especially with Sephiroth on the loose. If he came back to Disney Castle and she wasn't here, Sephiroth would have something very important to him cut off before Cloud slit his throat, and it wouldn't be his wing. (A/N raises eyebrows suggestively)

He kissed her again, and brought her with him to the Gummi Ship. He pulled her to the back room, where he laid with her until she fell asleep, then went to the front of the ship to sit with Riku.

"How's Selphie?"

"Very pregnant, but safe and happy. How's Aerith coming along?"

"Still can't convince her to name a son Cloud Jr., but otherwise okay. I love her more everyday, it seems."

"I know the feeling."

"I know. Leon and Yuffie are coming too."

"How is Yuffie?"

"You can ask her yourself. We'll be picking them up at Neverland shortly."

"Why Neverland?"

"Something about Yuffie always wanting to fly or something."

"It was about time that he realized that he loved her anyway."

"I don't think I could live with her. I love the chit, her being my sister, but I was ecstatic when she and Leon moved out of the house. I no longer had to hide the sea salt ice cream."

"I can imagine."

"No, you can't. Yuffie is a different species of woman."

"You obviously haven't met my wife."

"Then I pity you, and laugh in your face at the same time."

"Thanks."

"No problem."

They were quiet for the rest of the trip, partially since Riku fell asleep, partially because Cloud really didn't feel like talking. He was sure he would be doing enough of it when he hit Neverland.

Another Meanwhile...

Peter dragged a shell shocked Wendy into the air, and moved her to safety from the out of control Gummi Ship. Leon pushed Yuffie behind him, and the Gummi Ship came to a rest an inch from his nose. Yuffie, her pregnant state barely visible, shoved Leon to the side, and ran onto the ship and leapt into Cloud's lap. Leon walked in and laughed at the expression on Cloud's face, both an affectionate and annoyed smile.

He clapped Cloud on the shoulder before pulling his wife off of her brother and into a back room. He checked to make sure there was no sugar in the room before closing the door, locking it behind him.

"Hey! You can't do this to me!"

"I can and I did. See you when we get to Disney Castle."

"SQUALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!"

Leon walked to the front of the ship, and sat beside a very quiet Cloud and an awake but daydreaming Riku.

"This place holds a lot of memories for you, doesn't it?" Leon looked directly at Riku.

"How did you-. Oh. Peter."

"Yeah. He still hasn't really forgiven you for kidnaping Wendy."

"That wasn't me. That was Hook all the way."

"Oh well. Wendy's safe, and well on her way to being married, from the way Peter was hanging off of her."

"And Yuffie?"

Leon was quiet and Riku could hear pounding and loud swearing coming from the room the female ninja was locked into. "Does that answer your question?"

"She'd better not wake Aerith up. Even with her being pregnant and my sister, she will not be very happy when I'm through with her."

More pounding and louder cursing. "I don't think she's very happy right now." Riku pointed out.

"True." Cloud sighed.

"How's she been on the hyperness since the wedding? Sorry about missing it by the way. Selphie had an ultrasound and, no offense, but my kids are more important than a wedding."

"I don't blame you. Yuffie and the baby are more important than anything else to me."

Even more pounding and screamed curses. "I can tell." Riku sounded so arrogant that Leon wanted to smack the grin right off his face.

"This is a special case. If I didn't lock her up, I'd end up being bothered on letting her come and fight with us."

It was finally quiet, and Cloud smirked. "Looks like my little sister got tired of pounding. Either that or she tore her hands up."

Leon moved to get up and check on his wife, but Cloud pushed him back down. "Yuffie knows healing magic, remember?"

"Oh, right." He sat back down.

"Besides, you'll need all the energy you can get. We're here." Riku pointed out the window, and the high towers of Disney Castle appeared. "Sora and Kairi will be waiting."

"Damn." Leon and Cloud spoke at the same time.

While Riku, Leon, and Cloud were in the Gummi Ship... (Time moves differently in different worlds.)

Kairi walked onto the Gummi Ship on her own accord, her husband's signature pout resting on her face. She sat in the seat next to Sora, but refused to look at her husband. "Kai, don't be angry with me. I really don't want to leave you."

"Fine. But you'd better come back to me."

"Not even Herc could stop me." He pulled her into his arms, and she nuzzled her face into the gap between his neck and chin.

"Fine, but take this. It worked so well for you last time." She slipped her lucky charm into his pocket, but he equipped the Keychain immediately so that the Oathkeeper Keyblade rested in his palm.

"By the way, Mickey gave me a Keychain for the Keyblade, but I don't think I'll use it, especially with the Oathkeeper. You keep it. Consider it a reminder that I'm coming back." He pushed a jeweled crown charm into her hand, and she summoned her flowery Keyblade. The charm, once equipped, transformed the previously pink Key into a blue water blade with green wings that wrapped themselves down to form the handle, and then the main body flared out at the end to form a wave of aquamarine and dark blue.

"Wow. It's perfect for you."

"Why?"

"Because it will also remind you of the Islands."

"Oh. Thanks."

"You're welcome, Kai. You know I'd do anything for you."

"I know. Remember what I told you on the beach, though."

"And that was?"

"Get yourself killed, and I will be very upset with you."

When they arrived at Disney Castle, Kairi jumped into Riku's arms, and he swung her around just as he used to do. She hugged Leon and Cloud, before proceeding to glomp Aerith and Yuffie.

Sora pulled his wife off of the two women, and held her to his side as Yuffie and Aerith regained their composure and cuddled into their husbands. Kairi looked at Riku, who was the only one without his wife.

"Poor Riku. He had to leave Selphie behind." She whispered to her husband.

"Knowing him, he's tearing himself apart for it right now." He whispered back.

"You do know that we can all hear you, right?" Riku smiled at the pair.

"We missed you so much!" Kairi jumped on Riku again, and he laughed.

"I saw you two weeks ago, remember? When I visited the Islands to tell you that she was having twins."

"We remember. I'm just so used to having you there year-round." Kairi pouted.

"Kai, we only moved two months ago."

"I know. How's Selphie doing?"

"She's fine, but-" He was cut off as the King walked into the Gummi landing dock. He smiled at all of them, and hugged each of the women.

"Good to see you again, ladies. I wish it were under better circumstances that I deprive you of your husbands for the remainder of your pregnancies."

All the women sighed, and cuddled closer to their husbands, who all rolled their eyes simultaneously. King Mickey, seeing the whole scene, laughed wholeheartedly, and began speaking again.

"As for you gentlemen, hug your wives goodbye, and get back into the Gummi Ship. We're already running late." All the men kissed their wives goodbye, and climbed onto the Gummi Ship that Sora and Kairi had climbed out of. The women waved until the Gummi Ship was out of sight, then climbed the stairs to a waiting Queen Minnie. "Hello, ladies. You're all looking extremely well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Oh, fiddlesticks. It's Minnie, remember?"

All the women laughed and waited for the queen to speak again. "Well, now that you're all here, I think that it's dreadfully unpleasant that poor Selphie is alone while you are all here. What would you think about sending a Gummi to pick her up?"

All of the women nodded enthusiastically, having met Selphie at Cloud and Aerith's wedding. Minnie waved her fingers, and the royal Gummi Ship took off instantaneously, piloted by Chip and Dale.

They went to their rooms, missing their husbands terribly, then waited until the ship was back to welcome Selphie, who waddled pronouncedly. Kairi hugged her and showed her to her room, where they talked for hours.

The boys would be back soon, and they would wait for however long it would take.

Wow. Long chapter. Extremely fun to write. Especially on Christmas Eve. Lol. R&R please! I thrive on comments!

Love,

Sora's Kairi
