Anyways, on my first chapter I said that I wasn't going to put any more characters...well I lied, I kind of built up a plot and I wanted to add more...oh, and if anything else sounds out of the common, don't worry...it will come later as the story progresses everything is kept a secret okay enough said! here is chapter 4!
Disclamer: I don't know Digimon Digital Monsters or any other characters related to it.
And Baby makes three
Thursday had come and left like a quick snap through the week, and Friday arrived with a cheery smile, having no sign of a cloudy gray sky present upon any of the students eyes that were making their way to their last class of the day from the last day of the week.
Friday; a time to relax and kick back with not a worry in the world.
"Homework over the weekend?!"
Maybe not.
"Seriously! It's Friday! Why are the teachers punishing us?! Sora! Come on! You have to agree with me!"
Apparantly, she wasn't carrying what the blond was saying as she made her way through a crowded hallway of busy students, turning right into another hallway. The blond tried to talk to her but her mind was somewhere else, away from any connections to humans, and the only contact she had was her feet dragging her to her locker. Her eyes were shut concealing the light ruby color of her orbs, her sheer lips pressed together; so no words would escape the four walls surrounded with bright pearls.
"Sora? Can you hear me?" Matt asked waving his hand up and down her face.
She carefully opened her eyes and stared at Matt with a perplexed look, surpriced that he was standing there, his perfect eyebrow arched above.
They were already standing next to Sora's locker; her hand was already place upon the lock and slowly turning it right,left,right until the small click was heard as she slowly opened her locker.
"I'm sorry, did you say something?" she asked. Matt glared at Sora's tan and pretty face with a concerned look.
"Are you alright, Sora? You seem a little off today."
"What do you mean?" she challenged, placing her hands on her hips and waiting for an explanation.
He rolled his eyes upward facing the dirty cealing thinking before he spoke again, "Well, this morning you almost ran into traffic; thankfully I was there to pull you through, otherwise you'll be as flat as a paper by now."
Sora blushed deciding that Matt had prooven his point. She was about to say something back at him but before she could argue back, Matt kept on going with his reasons, "and then, during lunch you accidently bumped into some girl, pouring that greenish stuff on her. It was worth watching, but there is something going on inside that pretty brain of yours," he pointed out, poking her forehead with his index finger in a suave motion, making shivers run down Sora's flesh.
"Alright! Alright! You've prooven your point," she confessed, brushing of his finger before another powerful hit ran through her spine, "It's just that, I've been having
"Thoughts. Sora Takenouchi has thoughts," he said, again his eyebrow high above, "What kind of thoughts has Miss Takenouchi been having?"
She chuckled softly while closing her locker; her books already taken out from the dark safe and neatly tucked inside her school bag, and said, "Nothing that is related with you Mr. Ishida. Now let's go, we have a class to attend and later a baby to have..."
-----------
The rest of the last class was the usual; sit around in the chair while the teacher was teaching her thing and the students not having the slightiest idea of what they were been taught; either they would try to pay attention, (which half the percent weren't) or some would goof around passing notes in the precise moment when the teacher's back would be facing the class.
"..and so class, it's all to the conclusion that..."
The bell rang, interrupting the last few words from the teacher.
"We will continue this on Monday, class!" she yelled over the students as each got up and left the room as soon as they could. "Sora, Matt. Don't forget; today is your turn to take the baby with you."
Both students walked to the front of the class, their baby was sitting on the table of the teacher.
"You two have to decide who is taking the baby today and plan out who is going to take care for it over the weekend."
They both looked at each other
"And here is the diaperbag and your sheets to fill out what you have progress over the weekend, your report is due on Monday. The instructions are in the papers I gave you. Good luck on being parents."
She gave the baby to Sora, who held it carefully like if it was a real baby, Matt got the diaperbag and the papers, placing it on his shoulder like if it was his guitar.
Sora and Matt left the class quietly. They left the building and started to walk home until Matt spoke, "So, who is taking care of the baby today?"
Sora rocked the fake baby, "I already have it planned out. We will take care of her you and me for a little while today, then I'll take the rest of the night and you the whole day tomorrow and on Sunday we will take care of her the whole day. How does that sound?"
Matt nodded, "Well, I agree, but tomorrow I have practice and on Sunday too."
Sora smiled " In that case, you are going to have to bring her to your rehersals."
"And why do I have to take care of her on Saturday?"
Sora paused for a while and kept walking, "Because, I have a date."
Matt suddenly stopped, turning Sora around from her shoulder so he could face her, "A date?" his voice sounded weak and nervous,"With who?"
His hand was still on her shoulder, she looked at it for a second then back to Matt giving him the answer, "With Rick."
His fingers started to slip, releasing his grasp from her shoulder then resting it beside him, "Oh."
Sora felt an unease feeling inside her. Was Matt upset? Was it because of what happend the other day? That made her remember that night when he creeped into her window and apologuised for been rude to Richard, and how she hugged him to forgive him, smelling that sweet strong aroma of man. How she felt this strong feeling inside of her just because of their close distance, embracing each other so close. She blinked.
"Are you alright, Matt? Is something bothering you?"
Matt shooked his head looking down at the concreat of the sidewalk they were walking on. "No, I'm just surpriced that's all."
Sora's face fell, she knew that something more was going on than just surpriced.
They kept walking until they reached Sora's appartment. She opened her door entering the quiet room. "Mom? I'm home!"
A head of a woman poked up from the kitchen, "Hi sweety. How was school?"
"Oh, you know, same ol' same ol'," she said while she took her shoes off and putting her slippers on, (she was extra careful on not to drop Sarah on the floor). Matt did the same process. "I brought a friend over. We are doing a project together."
Sora's mom gave her full attention to Matt.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Takenouchi," he politely said, bowing.
She smiled, " Good afternoon to you too, Matt. How is your father? Is he still in the tv station?"
"Yeah, working."
She nodded, "Good, well I'll leave you two alone to do your homework. I was suppose to be downstairs in the flower shop I just came to pick up some stuff." Sora's mom left the appartment leaving both Sora and Matt alone.
"Let's go to my room, we can watch tv there."
She led Matt through a hallway then inside her room. She carefully put the baby on her bed and grabbed the remote control turning on the tv. They both sat on the edge of the bed, watching whatever was on, after a few minutes of not saying a word to each other Matt started to make a conversation, "Do you want to talk about your thoughts?"
Sora blushed. She really didn't want to share her thoughts to Matt, since it was about him. He had second thoughts about him. How she really saw of him, more than a friend or just close buddies.
"You promise you won't laugh?"
He scooted closer to her, "Why would I laugh? I'm your friend."
She looked at her carpet then to his eyes, "I'm having affections for someone I'm not sure I should have."
His heart sank, was she talking about Richard? He was already trouble enough with the band and now this; trying to win Sora's heart.
"And I think I'm falling for him, I like him. But, not in that way. Well, I don't know."
Matt held her hand, "Do you think that that someone likes you back?"
"I don't know. He hasn't said anything, he just looks after me like any friend would. But It's not only him, then there is another guy."
Another guy? Matt thought. He felt hope inside. Maybe that other guy was him. "What about that other guy?" he curiously asked, eagier to know.
"His friends with him, they are in a group and well I don't know." She laughed softly, "I'm not really giving full answers, I'm just confused, that's what's been on my head, nothing else."
He got closer hugging her tight, "Love is so confussing, you don't know what road to take, either the one on your left or the one on your right."
She snaked her arms around his waist and hold him tight, "Thanks for looking after me. I love you Matt."
She blushed, letting go of him and standing up, "I- I mean as in a friendly way."
"Well, I love you too Sora," But I don't mean it in a friendly way. It's true. He laughed "Come on, don't feel that way," he picked her up from behind, she let out a shriek.
"Matt! Let go!"
He did as he was told and landed her on the bed carefuly on not squishing Sarah. He started to tickle her on her waist and stomach, she wiggled and laughed. Matt stopped for a moment and looked at her eyes. "I love your eyes. They reflect your happiness and I always want to see that."
Her cheeks gleamed with brightness, Why is he doing this? Why does every comment he says about me make me blush? "Thanks," she said, feeling the sudden proximity between them. He, too, realised their distance; he was on top of her, centimeters away from her lips. "You are going to forgive me for doing this."
He got closer to her lips. Sora had it coming and did nothing, she waited patiently for the move.
He would of kissed her if not for the sudden noise of Sarah crying out loud.
They quickly got up and pretended that it didn't happend, they both went to her and tried to carry her but bumped into each other, they apologuised and laughed. Matt got to her first and carried her with a bottle on her petit circular mouth.
Sora just sat on her bed, carefuly watching him how good of a father he would be. He was going to make the woman he'll marry very happy. She sighed. Matt was about to kiss her. What really bothered her was that she didn't do nothing to stop it, like she wanted him to kiss her. 'You idiot! Why would you want him to kiss you? Then that prooves it. You do like him. No I don't! Yes you do! No I don't! Yes you do!... Ha ha! I win!
"Sora?" Matt had Sarah on his arms looking down at Sora, "Are you having thoughts again?"
"No. I was just thinking about you. How good of a father you will be when you get married. You look so cute like that."
He smiled, "Thank you, but I don't think I want to get married."
"Why not?" she asked curiously, "You'll make a great husband."
"Because I wont marry just anyone, that's all," he softly said, placing Sarah back to the bed. "I must leave, I need to get home before my father gets back, even though I know he won't come until late midnight."
"I'll ascourt you to the door," she said standing up, leading Matt to the front door. She closed the door behind her and made small talk.
"I enjoyed the afternoon, even if it was for just a little while. Thanks Sora."
"Thank you for coming."
"I'll see you later," he was about to turn, when he remembered something, "Sora, have fun tomorrow," and kissed her cheek.
She touched it with her hand, she had already fallen.
She locked her herself on her room to think. she covered her face so she could think clearly. That didn't last long because as soon as she was about to fantasize, Sarah started to cry.
---------
The baby kept crying loudly. Even if it was filled with wires and chips it was still an annoyance. As much as Sora tried to pace back and forth she couldn't achieve crattling it, the fake baby wouldn't stop for a moment to end the wails that bounced around the room and back into her ears.
"Please! Don't cry anymore!" she begged, hairs already standing out in diferrent directions of frustruation, "What do you want? Your bottle? Your diaper change?! Tell me!" She demanded at the artificial infant, expecting that yelling would help the situation get better.
"Shhhh! shhh! It's alright!" She swinged the baby softly to one side then to another, nothing at the moment worked.
Right after she was about to give up, the phone rang. With a groan, Sora came out from her room, already frustruated with the child's weeping around her, then the phone ringing loudly almost at the edge of causing Sora to have a headache. She picked up the phone and spoked,"Hello Take-" but before she could finished her sentence, a loud squeal came from the other line, breaking the thin glass inside Sora's head, causing a headache to transform.
"Oh my god Sora!"
Sora almost dropped both the baby and the phone from the loud squeal.
"Hello? Sora are you there? Good gracious! What is that noise?!"
She quickly picked the phone up and place it on her right ear, "Mimi?! I haven't talked to you in a while! How are you?!" she asked excited through the howls of the baby.
"Im doing fine, here with Izzy enjoying our last vacation days... Okay! wait! I'll tell her..he says, 'hi'." There was a giggle from the other line, "But Sora, what is that noise! It's annoying!"
"It's the baby."\line\line "Baby? Your mom had a baby? Congratulations!"
"No Mimi, it's my baby."
"What?! Sora, what have you been doing while I was gone?! Tell Mimi all the details! Who's the father?!"
Sora almost laughed, instead she sighed, after all, this was Mimi she was speaking to, "No Mimi! It's a project from school; a robot baby, where we have a baby and we learn how to take care of it, but the freaking baby won't shut up! It's driving me nuts and giving me a headache!"
"Oh, I see. Well, lay the baby on the bed and feed it, sometimes babies want to lay down and be fed that way."
Sora followed Mimi's advice and layed the baby on her bed, she later took a fake bottle and placed it in the small baby's round mouth.
A miracle; the baby had hushed. Not only was Sora enjoying the moment, quiet and peace, but her headache was gone. Almost forgetting that Mimi was on the other line she quickly went to the phone and spoke, "Mimi?"
"Still here."
"I'm sorry for all this."
"Sora it's alright! There is nothing to apologuise for, I called on the right time."
"Thank you, but I think you didn't call for nothing, I'm guessing you have some news to give me."
Another squeal of excitement was heard from the other line, it sounded like big news. "Before I tell you, Izzy wants to talk to you." There were noises of movements on the other side and soon enough a familiar voice was heard.
"Salutations Sora," the redhead boy said his reconizable tone filling through Sora's ear.
"Izzy, hey what's up? How are you? Enjoying your vacation over there?"
"I'm in excellent health, thank you for asking Sora, and I am enjoying my adequate intermission."
Sora got a little confused and decided to pretend to know and smile, "That's great! Good to hear."
"I guess it's back to Girl chat, nice having a conversation with you Sora."
"Well then Izzy, goodbye."
"No Sora, not goodbye, just, See you soon."
Sora nodded, trying to catch what he ment by 'see you soon' "Okay, see you soon."
Although Sora couldn't see what was going on on the other side, she knew that Izzy was passing the phone to Mimi.
"So, tell me; who is your partner?"
"Matt."
Another loud shreak ran through the line, "I knew for sure that Matt was the one!"
"The one for what?"
"Sora!" she blurted out like it was the most obvious thing, "Hellooo! He is so into you! You should totally go out with him, you and him make such an awesome couple! Eeek! All the girls are going to be so jealous!"
"How do you know he is 'into me'?" she interrogated adding quotation marks with her fingers, though Mimi didn't see.
"Lets just say I have a feeling about it. But you are the one who should know, the way he treats you and all. Come on! You can tell dear Mimi! How is Matt treating you?"
Sora wanted to tell, she gave up right after she made up with her 'other voice', "Okay," Sora started to explain since the begging of the project and how she had a feeling that Matt was upset when she told him she had a date with Richard, "and today he came to my house for the project and he told me sweet things, we stayed and I think he was about to kiss me on the lips, but at the moment the baby cried and we stoped. After he left he kissed me on my cheek."
"If that doesn't proove anything, then nothing does! I bet he was jealous when you told him you had a date with that guy."
"Now that you said it, I think you are right, and Mimi?"
"Yeah?"
"I've fallen for him."
"Eeeeek!"
Sora ripped the phone from her ear before her ear exploted from the loud arrogant squeals of Mimi. She put it back when the loud noise faded, "Mimi, I think it's your turn to tell me your news."
"Oh yeah, I'm so happy Sora! I'm coming back next year to your school! We are going to see you again!"
Sora gasped; it was a year since she last saw Mimi and Izzy, they went to a different school and after the school ended early they decided to spend some alone time together on a different foreign country; France.
"Oh my goodness! I can't wait to see you Mimi! Hope we have classes together!"
"I know! Oh no! I have to go, my minutes are almost gone. I'll talk to you later Sora! Take care! Bye!" and she hanged up before Sora could say anything else.
Sora hanged the phone and went back to her room. Now that Sarah was quiet and in sleep mode, she had her thoughts with her. So, Matt did like her, and she like him. 'I guess Richard is history...but i'm still going to see him tomorrow. His green eyes won't charm me no more. Now those cerulean eyes are the ones that have made me fall.
