A/N: well I actually got reviews for the also chapter and you all really seemed to enjoy it. So you all get another chapter. Only one person got what was wrong with Kairi. So congrats to Deliahgirl for guessing correctly. Well on with the story
Chapter 8
When I woke up I was in a room I defiantly recognized. I was in te hospital and on one of those uncomfortable beds. I groaned to myself. What, am I in a competition with myself? How many times can kairi land her self in the hospital for passing out? Joy. I've been in here quit a few times this year. It's my fault really. I've been testing my powers quit a bit and have pushed myself to the limit more times than I can count. The doctors thankfully haven't asked too many questions. They've accounted it to being low blood sugar. Hey what can I say? I don't eat much in the mornings.
Anyway when I woke up I noticed that sora was sitting on a chair next to my bed holding my hand. Just like all those years ago when I was attacked by Ansem. He saw me stirring and smiled at me.
"Do they know what caused it yet?" I asked
"No we don't know anything yet. All we know is that you and Angie were talking when suddenly you passed out. We're waiting for the test results." He was silent for a moment. "You know Kairi, you should've gone to the doctor sooner. What if something is seriously wrong.?"
"Sora not now." I said tiredly. "It's probably the same thing as always. I over expected my self on my powers."
"Yea, but what about everything else. The vomiting, dizziness lightheadedness, and now the fainting. Come one Kai. Do you really think it's just the same thing as last time?" He asked.
Just as I was about to answer the doctor walked in.
"Is she ok?" he asked barley giving the doctor time to walk fully into the door.
"Yes she's perfectly fine."
"But then why did she pass out?" He interrupted.
"Sora let him finish."
"It's alright. Before I answer you're question Sora, I have some questions for you Kairi. Kairi have you been sick lately?"
"Yes."
"Have you been feeling lightheaded or dizzy lately?"
"Yes." I wasn't putting two and two together. Because if I was then I would've gotten what he was saying and his questions would've made sense.
"Kairi. You're not sick. You're pregnant. The dizziness and lightheadedness is due to your changing hormones., and your bring sick is morning sickness."
I was silent for a moment letting his words sink in. "I'm pregnant?" I thought I had a bug or something.
I looked over at Sora and saw so many different emotions on his face. Shock, surprise, and best of all, joy.
"She's pregnant?" he mumbled looking back at me.
"Yes she is. Congratulations. You two are going to be parents."
"How far along am I?"
"Only about three weeks. If you don't have any other questions I'll leave you two alone. Kairi you're free ro go, and if you want you cane schedule an appointment for your first trimester appointment."
"Thank you, I will." I said as the doctor left.
I turned towards Sora. "Sora, do you know what this means? We're going to be parents Sora. We're finally starting a family."
"I know, and I couldn't be happier that I'm starting on with you. I never thought I my wildest dreams that would ever happen, especially with you. Then again I never thought you would chose me as the one you would marry." He said smiling.
I smiled back. " I know I feel the same way. But now you know that we have a lot of responsibility and a lot to do."
After I said that I think it finally started sinking in.
"Oh my god. Kairi, we're going to be parent!"
"I know Sora."
"We have so much preparing to do. We have to set up a room, get clothes, a crib, supplies..." Sora started rambling about all of the things we needed but I ignored his rambling.
"Sora." I said
Nothing.
"Sora."
Still nothing.
"Sora!" I shouted a little louder.
Finally a response.
"What?" he asked finally snapping out of his revere.
"Sora, I'm only three weeks along. We still have eight months till the baby comes. We have plenty of time."
"I know. But it's our first child. I want everything to be perfect."
"I know Sora, and trust me everything will be, so you don't have to freak out so much. Ok? Now come on it's time to go."
"What? Already? Shouldn't there be more tests to make sure the baby's ok?" He asked worriedly.
"Sora, it's too early to tell. Like I said before, I'm only three weeks pregnant. There's not much they can do now. In a few more weeks they'll be able to do more tests.
"Ok. But I still think we should start preparing now." He insisted.
I just sighed. "Whatever Sora."
'He can guard me against an ancient evil, but when he finds out he's going to become a father he freaks out.' I thought to myself.
"Hey Kai." he said. "Is any of this real?" He asked suddenly.
"What do you mean?"
"Well sometimes I feel that this is just a dream and none of this is real and that I'm going to wake up and find out that all of this was just a dream." He said.
"If this is a dream, then I never want it to end." I told him
"Neither do I."
Sora leaned in and I leaned my head to meet his as our lips touched in a light embrace which eventually turned into us making out slightly.
We were still in the room except I had gotten off the bed long ago when we were getting ready to leave.
'Now who needs a room?' I heard Angie asked into my head.
'Well if you want to get technical we were in the privacy of a room until you came in, so there.' I responded
She just made a mocking noise in my head until I closed my mind off form her.
We slowly pulled back and found all of our friends in the doorway with Angie in the front with a smirk on her face.
"Oh Kai, we were so worried. Are you ok?" Yuna asked.
"Yea I'm fine. I'm sorry I for ruining your reception." I answered.
"No, it's alright, you didn't ruin anything."
"So, what happened. I got so scared when you passed out. I thought I somehow caused it."
"You didn't make me pass out. Whenever I try to use my power over a larger distance then I'm used to, it puts a strain on my body. This time though the strain was too great, but I only passed out because my body is already under a strain as it is, and adding that strain to the strain of my powers was just too much for me."
"Why is your body already strained" Rikku, Yuna's cousin asked.
"Well . . . because I'm pregnant."
Rikku squealed as all of the girls said in perfect unison "Congratulations." while all of the boys patted Sora on the back."
I didn't need to be a mind reader to know what they were thinking.
As the boys were talking silently to themselves Angie and I caught part of their thoughts and grinned slightly.
'Hey Angie, do you remember our songstress training?' I asked her telepathically.
'Yea. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?' She sent back.
'That we sing the two songs that we learned, 'Real Emotion' and 'A Thousand Words'?'
'Yea but we need a third person for the harmony'
'That's ok. We can ask Yuna. I remember her telling me that she was a songstress of sorts back in Spira.' I replied.
'Does she know the songs?' Angie asked.
'I think she does.'
'Cool so lets ask her.'
"Hey Yuna." I called "Can you come here for a minute?" I asked as Angie and I were slightly separated form the group.
By this time we were all leaving the hospital and walking towards our homes.
We fell behind for a few minutes for privacy.
"Ok so we know the guys are going to be planning a party because of our powers. Se Angie and I were going to do a concert. We were wondering if you would like to join us since we know that you used to be a songstress in Spira. We were planning on singing Real Emotion and A Thousand Words and we know you know them."
"Sure." She responded. "It sounds like fun. Do you guys have the songstress dress spheres?"
"No. Anything we had was destroyed long ago in Evergreen."
"Alright. I'll talk to my friend Shinra and see what he can do."
"Sounds good. Just let us know when you hear form him. Oh and uh lets just keep it between us for now."
"Sounds good to me." She replied.
As we rejoined the rest of the group I stood near Sora as recollections of three weeks ago came flashing back into my head.
FLASHBACK
I opened the door to our bedroom, yawning. I had just finished cleaning up the kitchen and the livingroom when I noticed that Sore wasn't around.
"Sora." I called opening the door to our room.
Just a suddenly as I walked through the door and had turned around to close it, someone teleported behind me, shut the door and pinned me to it. I opened my mouth to let out a scream, when I noticed it was just Sora.
I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding. "Jeeze Sora, just scare me to death why don't you"
"Sorry." He said, still keeping me pinned to the door.
"Is everything ok?" I asked.
"Yea why?" He asked as I noticed him start to lean in.
"Just . . . wondering." I said getting distracted by our closeness.
"Oh." He said huskily closing the gap.
I closed my eyes and leaned in, wrapping my arms around his neck while his encircled my waist.
His kisses were soft and inviting at first, tantalizing. But after a few minutes they intensified sending shivers down my spine. As intense as they were, they were never rough, his lips always seemed to be caressing mine.
Just when I thought they couldn't get more intense, Sora picked me up bridal style and carefully laid me on the bed, as his gentle traveled down my neck to my collarbone and then some. That was one of the best nights of my life.
END FLASHBACK
Now were going to be parents. That beautiful act of love is creating our child. I couldn't believe it. My heart was swelling at the joy I felt.
I placed my hand on my flat but pregnant stomach, wondering what parenthood was going to be like, especially with Sora right there beside me.
Sora noticed me place my hand on my stomach. "Hey, are you alright?"
"Yea." I answered. "I'm just thinking about our baby and about us becoming parents.
"Well, like I said before, you'll be a great mother."
"And you'll be a great father." I said kissing him lightly.
"You know what this calls for? This calls for a party!" Tidus shouted excitedly.
All of the guys, except Sora, nodded their heads in agreement.
"Not tonight guys." Sora said. "Kairi just got out of the hospital for fainting from over exhaustion, we don't want that to happen again.
The guys groaned and the girls agreed with us.
"Come on, he's right you guys. I don't want to push myself and chance hurting me and the baby but maybe tomorrow." I said.
"Ok" They all said in unison.
I looked at Angie and Yuna, and said telepathically. 'Hold on for a moment. I want to talk to you guys.'
I saw them nod their heads.
"Sora, go on ahead. I'll meet you at home.
"Are you sure?" He asked
Yea, I just need to talk t Angie and Yuna for a moment, go on home, I'll be there in a few minutes."
"Alright" He said reluctantly.
I sighed to myself. I see Sora's going to be the overprotective type.
"So what did you want to talk to us about?" Angie asked after everyone had left.
"Well I was just wondering what are we going to do if Shinra can't come up with new dress spheres?"
"Oh, um well I guess we could just use the ones Rikku, Paine and I use. Kai, you could use Rikku's, the colors would look so good with your hair, Angie you can use Paine's and I would use my own."
"Also, guys, sing like you mean it, really get into the songs. We want to show off don't we." I said smiling.
They all smiled with me.
"Ok, so we all know what we're going to do tomorrow, right?'
"Yea, Oh hey Kai, I have a question. Can we also song one more song?" Yuna asked.
"Sure which one?"
"Simple and Clean."
"Sounds good, but Angie and I only learned the short version of the song."
"That's fine." She said.
"Ok, so I'll see you guys tomorrow."I said
we parted ways and started on our way to our homes. That' when I noticed something felt off. Someone was following me, and that someone was Rikku.
I turned around to confront him.
"Rikku, what do you want and why are you following me in te shadows?" I asked him
"To congratulate you." je said coming out of the shadows.
I turned around and looked at Riku behind me. His outfit had changed, he wore a skin tight black tank top and black pants.
"And you couldn't do that before, why?" I asked.
"I don't like big groups and besides I don't think I'd be welcomed." He said striding towards me. I backed up a little. He smirked. "What's wrong Kairi, you seem to be afraid of me."
"Well it's no longer my life I have to worry about." I replied.
"Oh and why should you be worried?" He asked innocently.
"Oh I don't know. Maybe it's the fact that you have been following me around for a few months. You never hang out with us any more you wear all black. (Please no one take offense to that comment. I wear mostly black 98 of the time. I'm just trying to prove a point.), and you have an evil aura about you now."
"Oh so you've noticed the aura. I was wondering when you would."
"Riku, what's happened to you? Why couldn't things go back to the way they were? Why couldn't we be friends again?"
"The day you chose him over me was the day you lost my friendship. I mean yea t the door to the light I told him to take care of you. I thought I could handle seeing the tow of you together. But I couldn't. Then when I found out that you had accepted his proposal, that was the final blow my heart could take. I was so full of despair. That's when Stanton gained control over my body. I was so weak. But then again I guess I've always been that way, what with Ansem's heartless taking over my body and all."
"Riku. . ." I started to say as he started to get closer to me I just backed up slightly.
"NO! Kairi, don't. Don't say I'm not weak, or that I wasn't weak. I was. But that doesn't matter now. They said that I would have to power to have you. To have whatever I wanted, and now I can."
"Look Riku. I know you still have feelings for me but you have to understand that I don't feel the same. You are one of my closest friends Riku, but that's all." I replied sadly.
"I always want what I can't have and I always get what I want."
"For crying out loud Riku, I'm pregnant with his child."
"I don't care." He said.
"Riku please, don't make me hurt you."
He just laughed a evil laugh. "Hurt me? You say. You can't hurt me now. I've become a follower."
"Riku, why?" I said in a pleading way.
"It's simple. They said that I would have to power to make you mine if I turned to them."
"Damn it Riku, they're just using you to get to me." I said annoyed
"I don't care because they were right. I do have to power to make you mine."He replied with an evil grin,
I didn't fully realize how trapped I was until now. I was practically pinned to the wall of the building I was next to with no way out. I looked back towards Riku and saw him start to change into a shadow, when his hand shot out and grabbed me, effectively turning me into a shadow with him.
When we materialized I didn't quite recognize where we were.
I didn't know what he was planning but I knew it couldn't be good, all I knew was that it could quite possibly hurt the child inside of me.
"Riku, please, don't do this. I'm pregnant it could harm the baby." I pleaded.
"I really don't care. It should be my baby you're carrying, not his."
That's when in sank in. He was going to try to take advantage of me to try to kill my baby.
"Sora! Help!" I sent telepathically. "Riku has me, he's been changed. He's trying to hurt the baby."
Riku sensed me send the message and laughed. "By doing that you only made things harder on your self."
'I don't want to, but I will if I have to. Fighting seems to be the only way I can get out of this.' so I started chanting "o Mater Soleil. . ." But then he grabbed me by the throat, and put a hand on my mouth both to stop me from chanting and screaming. And then he forced me on te bed. . . .
To Be Continued.
A/N: Well what did you think. I'm sure some of you hate me but keep in mind it's not really Riku, he's being controlled by the followers and the atrox. Well. Please review and let me know what you think. :)
