Stained In Negativity: There just is not enough information on the band members so I am left making it up as I go. I hope everyone enjoys them. In this next chapter will split their personalities up and I am concern that some may hate one but it is important to me that he is how he is…so to speak. Thank you for your review, as always.

Batool: LOL I hope you continue to like him! In this chapter you will find a little more about him but it may not be good. We'll see.

onlyaname: I'm thinking on the same line. How would Sora's parents react, would one understand? Would one be outraged? If so…which ones? Hmmm. Hope you enjoy the next chapter. I spent a long time on them.

JyouraKoumi: LOL. Well I guess everyone has their own view. As long as you like your own, I wouldn't worry too much how other's may think who base the story romance on.

FallenArchangelDD: I adore Matt…and Tai. I know I showed Matt somewhat rude towards his little brother but that's siblings for you. They say mean things but they forgive fast. I wanted to show that Matt isn't perfect and the day was growing tiresome. Sorry but I hope you enjoy his character a little more in the next chapters.

BanditPonyta: I would also to enjoy more of Matt's band members. I read a few which gave me somewhat of an idea on who they should look or act…then I messed it all around and came up with these three…lol. Cheers!

Digi-Girl101: Thank you. I have to admit, I like that part also. Very simple but it said much.

Broken Angel01: thank you! I have been sitting on the next chapter for a while and I'm glad I did because I deleted everything and came up with much more. I hope you like them.

Karush: You will see Sora and Matt but it is taking a bit longer then I wanted it too. The timing never seemed right. They want to be together but now there is Ryoko and both are unsure.

wolf's lament: Oh yes, they will stay up much later then they wanted too. Then there is the mess that needs to be cleaned. Mr. Hikoaki is still out sick so he can clean up wink

Inner Beauty: Unfortunty I am not blessed with flowing words to descripe what is going inside my mind so keep it simple is the only option for me. Thank you and enjoy the next chapters.

XXXXXXXXXX

Matt gulped as his friends flocked around him and voices intermingled into one large, out of tune chorus.

"Aw he is so adorable!" Matt heard a girl's voice break from the pack.

"Bit small, isn't he?" Another voice asked.

"Can I hold him?" Matt's eyes looked over his shoulder at Kari but the voice did not match her vocally.

"See the bear?" Someone inquired behind a very large brown stuffed toy.

Matt bit his lower lip as he glanced around the apartment, his eyes falling upon the large packages at the sofa and the many stuffed toys. 'Toy drives', he thought quickly. He shall relinquished ownership of most of these stuffed toys by donating them to a toy drive.

"This is indeed a surprise." Matt heard his father speak with a little disappointment hidden in his voice, but still present nevertheless.

"You" Matt glanced at the familiar faces, "threw me a party?"

"Egoistic as ever." Mimi rolled her eyes. "No. We threw Ryoko a party!"

Matt frowned as he struggled with the feeling of true amazement, gratitude and yet annoyance that threaten to smoother him.

"Cool, food!" Tk beamed and pushed away from his family as he rubbed his stomach and headed straight to a table, which was currently overloaded with junk food, sandwiches…and melting ice cream.

"I um…" Matt looked over at his father for help but only received a raised eyebrow.

"Here." Yolei gently took Ryoko from Matt's arm. "Let me see him."

Matt stood with his hands out as she and the other girls walked away with his son to the couch.

"Here." the person behind the bear swung the stuff animal into his arms.

"Tai?" Matt looked behind the bear to a sheepish looking smile of his friend.

"I was told he has my eyes?" Tai wrinkled his nose.

"His eyes are blue…." Matt started.

"The bear, Matt." Tai rolled his eyes. "The bear."

Matt moved his head back in order to peek at the bear he was embracing. True to his words, the bear had deep chocolate brown eyes that seemed to be melting.

"Yeah…." Matt dropped the bear, realizing he still held the toy. "Why?"

"I guess brown is the 'in' colour for bears. However it would be quite comical and yet freighting to find a bear with blue eyes, don't you think?" Tai grinned as he folded his arms before him.

"Not the bear, this party."

"Surprise for Ryoko."

"It's late."

"Not too late for a party."

"We have School in the morning."

"Only seven, Matt." Tai rolled his eyes. "You're acting like an old man already. No offence sir." Tai gave Hiroaki a brief nod.

"None taken." Hiroaki still sounded stunned as he moved between the bodies of teens, towards the over stuffed recliner.

"I need air…" Matt turned to watch Akira move pass him and towards the balcony doors.

"This was Meem's idea." Tai looked around the group that had formed in the small apartment.

"I kind of figured that out on my own." Matt winced as the clay project Tk had made in first grade almost fell to the floor as Joe bumped into it to avoid a collision with Davis. "I don't mean to sound unappreciated, Tai. It's just that I…"

"Hate surprises?" Tai grin widen. "I know which is why I like to fling them at you at every opportunity."

"Uh huh." Matt smacked the back of the brunet head before he walked into the hornet nest of chattering girls.

"Oh Matt, your son is sooo adorable!" Mimi's voice was high pitched with excitement. "Do you know how weird it is to say that? It will take time in getting custom to you being a daddy."

"You look just like your daddy." Sora cooed down the wide blue eyes bundle in Mimi's arms.

The little infant gave a toothless smile and his little fist bolted out of the blanket. Matt watched as Sora slipped her finger under Ryoko's small fingers. "You are going to have all the girls drooling over you." Sora continued to talk to the baby before she placed a kiss on the small fist she held.

"I know this party isn't much." Matt looked over at Mimi as she apologized for the abrupt social gathering, "And with it being on a school night, we can't visit long and we have to push normal scheduled events at an unnatural pace."

"Huh?" Matt asked.

Mimi blinked back at Matt, not sure what he did not understand.

"What events?" Matt asked clearing up her confusion.

"Things are done in order, Matt." Mimi sighed. "See at a baby shower, we talk about guys…"

"I don't wanna…" Matt shook his head.

"Then we guess on what the sex of the baby will be…."

"He's a boy."

"Then was talk about baby names…."

"He already has a name…"

"Then we make guesses as how much he will weigh…"

"Already you girls are on a weight issue?"

"Then we move onto the selective music and movies we like that we cried over…."

"Still Note Book." Sora eyed the other girls daring them to try to prove her wrong.

"Then we move back to talking about boys…" Mimi continued, ignoring everyone who tried to disrupt her explanation. "Then we open gifts and have cake…."

"But!" Tai leaned over the back of the sofa and kissed the top of Mimi's head. "Tonight she is allowing, and the usage of 'allowing' is held loosely, letting us skip the talk and open the gifts while we are cramming our faces."

"That's my kind of party." Matt laughed.

"Open my gift first!" Mimi pressed her gift into Matt's chest, causing him to gasp from the impact.

Out of all the gifts, this one looked as it had been wrapped in less haste. The patterns of balloons lined up perfectly at every crease and the tape was all but invisible. A huge blue ribbon adored the top of a flat surface packaged box.

Matt carefully plunked off the bow, which Kari quickly snatched up, and slowly picked at the corners of the box.

"Have you not taught this boy how to open gifts, Sir?" Tai addressed Matt's father. "Surely you told him to just rip the bloody wrapin' off the package! At this rate, we will be here all night!"

Hiroaki's eyes widen with the last statement. "Matt, just tear it open!"

Matt smirked at his father but paid heed to the urgency in his father's voice.

"Clothes?" Tai frowned peering into the clear plastic box. "You gave him clothes?"

"Yes. He needs too look good. Not that he does not look good, Matt. I mean he is a gorgeous child but sometimes…"

"You are afraid I wouldn't dress him right?" Matt asked.

"I was more afraid that you would dress him in black." Mimi said softly. Her remark did cause Hiroaki to chuckle from his chair, which earned him a glare from Matt.

"What did you get him?" Mimi asked her boyfriend.

"I can't tell you!" Tai reached over, grasped a circular wrapped object, and tossed it over to Matt.

"Tai?" Matt frowned as the round object landed firmly in his open hands, "This isn't a…." Matt threw the present in the air and caught it. "Ball, is it?"

"I'm not telling you…" Tai frowned and bit the inside of his mouth. "It isn't just any ball either!"

Matt chuckled as he released a new soccer ball from its wrapping.

"Really Tai." Mimi shook her head. "He's too young to play with that!"

"But when he is ready, Matt won't have to get him one." Tai rolled his eyes. "His god-father already thought of that."

"He does have a point." Matt swirled the ball in his palm.

"I would appreciate it if you would keep your viewpoint out of our arguments." Mimi raised her fine eyebrows at Matt, who glared back at her.

"You see why I am attracted to her, don't you Matt?" Tai smiled nervously at the sudden unstable atmosphere.

"You always did love to argue." Matt nodded his head.

"What?" Mimi swung her head around to her boyfriend.

"Well Lov, your temper can be some what…"Tai snapped his fingers. "What's the word I am looking for?"

"Well yesterday you said, 'Childish, Amusing, yet augmenting tantrums'." Davis said from the buffet table.

"Childish! Amusement! Tantrums! Why…" Mimi shrieked.

"Yes but today I was trying to find a word that wouldn't make her scream." Tai sighed as he backed away from the sofa and an outraged Mimi. "You know, I think I'll check out the food."

Matt watched as his friend made a quick escape out of harms way.
