This warm feeling…is inside me? – Chapter 7

Surprise times two!

"We have an appointment with Kuro-buro's doctor." Fai told the front desk. The rest of the gang was in the waiting room.

"Oh yes! Let's see here…" The front desk lady said as she typed in her computer.

"Sorry, he's not in today. But there is a special doctor that is available."

"What do you mean by special?" Fai asked, his calm smile on his face.

"He goes by the name Dr. Sohma. He's on the second floor and here's his room number." The front desk lady went on, not answering Fai's question. She wrote down the room number and gave it to Fai.

"Hope you have no trouble finding his room!" She said cheerfully and the blonde politely thanked her.

"What's that piece of paper Fai?" Mokona asked when Fai came.

"We have a new doctor to visit." Fai said.

"What's his name?" Syaoran asked.

"She said it is Dr. Sohma. But she also said that he is a special doctor."

"Special?" Sakura said.

"What does she mean by that?" Syaoran asked.

"I don't know. We'll just have to find out." Fai said as he shrugged.

xXxXxXxXx

"Ah! Here's his door." Fai said and stuffed the piece of paper the front desk gave him into his pocket. There was nothing "special" about the door except that there was no nameplate on the door that told the patients what Dr. Sohma's specialty is.

"Um, hello? Excuse me? We have an appointment with you?" Fai said as he poked his head inside the room.

"Hey! Don't do that! He might be busy!" Kurogane whispered.

"It's ok Kurgy! There's no one to interrupt!" Mokona said as it jumped onto Kurogane's head from Sakura's hands.

"That's right. You could come in." The five heard a calm voice say in the room. Fai opened the door wide and found a normal doctor's office. In a black wheeling chair sat a black haired, brown-eyed man with a white lab coat but had a blue robe on underneath it.

"Are you doctor Sohma?" Fai asked. The man in the chair opened his mouth to speak but a flash of silver came out from under a desk.

"Yes he is! And I'm his assistant, Dr. Ayame!" A long silver-haired man spoke. He also had a white lab coat on.

"Aaya, I told you not to come out from under there! It's cold in here!" The black haired doctor whispered.

"But Shigure! I couldn't resist! I was having a nightmare!" Ayame whispered as he looked down. He looked like he was about to cry.

"Aaya! I'll free you from your nightmare!" Shigure said as he grabbed a pen from the desk and made some gestures that looked like he was fighting a dragon.

"Shigure! You're so brave!" Ayame said as he posed like a princess. In the background, Syaoran, Sakura, Fai, and Kurogane were all speechless and stared. Then behind them, the door opened and a tall figure stepped inside.

"What are you two doing in here?" The figure said in a monotone voice. Syaoran and Sakura gaped. They thought the person that came inside was talking to them since they were closer to the door.

"W-we uh-" Syaoran started but to his surprise the man walked passed them.

"H-Ha'ri, aren't you on your break?" Shigure said as he smiled nervously.

"Yes, I was on my break. Now get out of my office and my coat. You too Ayame."

"But-" Ayame started.

"I have a patient on hold. You're wasting their time and mine." The man said.

"Fine Hatori! Your friends only wanted to visit you and give you a gift on your birthday, but if you're going to be like that you'll have your wish! We're leaving!" Ayame blurted as he took off the lab coat and threw it on the ground. He had a sudden change in mood.

"Shigure!" Ayame instructed and Shigure did the same.

"Good bye!" The silver haired said as he grabbed Shigure's hand and stomped off.

"Is she going to be all right?" Sakura said worriedly. Hatori almost smiled as he saw a familiarity in Sakura.

"He will be fine." Hatori corrected as he started to pick up his lab coats. Sakura covered her mouth and blushed.

"If I'm not mistaken, are you Dr. Sohma?" Fai asked.

"Yes. Is your name Kurogane?" Hatori said as he hung his coats then picked up a clipboard off of his desk. Fai had a big smile on his face.

"This shy puppy here is Kuro-myuu!" The blonde held Kurogane in front of him.

"Alright. Now have a seat here." Hatori said as he brought out a stool from a corner of the room.

"You three could wait in the waiting room if you'd like." The doctor added as he put on his glasses that he brought out from his pocket. Hatori softly sat in his rolling chair.

"We would like to stay doctor Sohma." Syaoran decided.

"There is another stool by the examining table and two people could sit on the examining table." Hatori said and looked down on the clipboard he was holding.

"So you're starting your fourth month?" Hatori looked up from the clipboard.

"Yes." Kurogane answered.

"Do you have any difficulties so far?"

"Besides the frequent urination, weird food cravings, mood swings, etc…no." Kurogane listed. Hatori jotted something down on the clipboard then looked up again.

"It says here that you signed up for a ultrasound, and I correct?"

"Yes we did." Fai answered. Hatori took off his glasses then stood up.

"The ultrasound is in another room. If you could just follow me." Hatori said and opened the door for the five to walk out.

"I heard it's your birthday today. Happy birthday." Fai whispered to the doctor when everybody was out the door.

"Happy birthday!" Mokona repeated in Fai's arms. Confusion was written all over Hatori's face.

"Is this a stuffed rabbit?" The doctor asked as he bent down so he was eye-to-eye with Mokona. Fai chuckled.

"No, this is Mokona."

"Mokona is Mokona!"

"Mokona…hm…" Hatori said then he placed his hands under Mokona's small arms and lifted Mokona up in the air.

"Is it some sort of small animal?" Hatori asked.

"No, Mokona is Mokona." Fai repeated.

"Hey, stop flirting with the doctor. We don't want to pay overtime." Kurogane growled from the hallway.

"Just be patient Kuro-puu! We're coming!" Fai said cheerfully as he walked into the hallway. Hatori stood, unsure what to do with Mokona.

"Dr. Sohma? Are you ok?" Sakura asked as she walked up to the doctor. Hatori cleared his throat.

"E-excuse me." Hatori said, finally deciding to hold Mokona in the crook of his arm. He hurriedly walked in front of the group.

"I'm sorry for my delay. Follow me." Hatori apologized then walked down the hall, the four following him.

xXxXxXxXx

"Now, is your bladder full?" Hatori asked.

"Kuro-wan drank so much water, he looked like a fish!" Mokona said as it puffed up its cheeks.

"I did not look like a pork bun who got over stuffed." Kurogane grunted.

"Hey! Mokona's not a snack!" Hatori sat Mokona on a stool that was right in front of the ultrasound machine then laid his hand on its head.

"Now let's get started."

xXxXxXxXx

"You're having twins…!" Hatori said as he studied the image the ultrasound machine produced.

"Twins?!" The four said in unison.

"…A boy and a girl." Hatori pointed out as he moved the ultrasound device over Kurogane's abdomen to get a better picture.

"They look like miniature sized people!" Mokona said.

"That's what they are, Mokona. Babies." Fai said when he walked up behind the stool Mokona sat on. Fai picked up Mokona then cradled and rocked the white pork bun in his arms. The blonde softly hummed a song as he watched Mokona fall asleep.

"How can there be twins?" Kurogane asked.

"Well a fertilized egg could split and make two eggs, making identical twins. Or two separate eggs are fertilized at the same time, making fraternal twins." Syaoran explained, making Kurogane's eye twitch.

"Let me rephrase that. How can I be having twins?! He said I was going to have one kid!" Kurogane raised his voice.

"I-" Hatori started but a hand on his shoulder stopped him.

"It's all right. He's not directing that at you." Fai said as he smiled, on hand was still on Hatori's shoulder while the other still rocked the sleeping Mokona.

"Kuro-buro, maybe your doctor couldn't detect her because she was hugging her brother and doesn't want to let go." The blonde said as he looked on the screen.

"Oh! You're right Fai!" Sakura said as she awed at the two siblings.

"Here, I'll take a picture of them." Hatori said as he did some clicking and typing on the ultrasound machine.

"Picture?" Syaoran asked. Hatori nodded then removed the device off of Kurogane's belly. The ninja sighed a relief then sat up.

"Can I go now?" Kurogane asked. Hatori threw him a small warm towel.

"Wipe yourself off then you may go. The restrooms are down the hallway to your left." Kurogane nodded as he finished wiping himself off of the sticky gel. He slipped off of the bed then zipped his pants back on before he quickly walked out of the room.

"What beautiful children you got there. Where's the lucky lady?" Shigure popped up as he stood at the threshold.

"It's a-" Syaoran started but a slender hand covered his mouth before he could finish his sentence.

"She went for a break. Thank you for taking us in, Dr. Sohma. We'll be waiting for our mommy in the hall." Fai said then ushered Syaoran and Sakura out the door with one hand, his other arm was still cradling Mokona.

"You know, you got Aaya pretty mad. He cried-" Shigure started when the door shut behind the blonde.

"Where is he?" Hatori asked, not letting Shigure finish his sentence.

"Ha'ri, Ha'ri. He's all right. You worry too much." Hatori opened his mouth to repeat his question but then he calmly watched the dog when Shigure slowly took out a bundle of Ayame's clothes from his sleeve of his robe.

"See? He's fast asleep." Shigure whispered as he lifted the top part of the bundle that covered the snake's head, revealing a sleeping Ayame.

"Now, don't jump to conclusions. He didn't bump into a flower or anything." Shigure said quickly before Hatori could say anything.

"I knew you were going to say that." Hatori said after the dog was finished. The doctor gently placed two fingers on Ayame's neck to feel if anything was wrong. Nothing, nothing unusual.

"I guess the AC in here is too cold for Aaya too…" Shigure had a sad tone in his voice as he recovered the snake to conserve heat. Hatori laid a hand over Ayame and Shigure's hand, since the dog's hand didn't drop back to his side. Shigure looked up and looked into the dragon's eyes. The doctor had a slight smile on his lips.

"Thank you Ayame and Shigure. And I apologise for being rude earlier, Ayame. I am sorry." Hatori said, almost in a whisper. Shigure smiled as well then turned his head to look out the narrow long window on the door. Hatori followed Shigure's gaze and watched the three waiting for their "mommy".

"Are they the lucky family?" Shigure asked, still watching the family.

Hatori nodded and said, "Yes," just in case the dog didn't see him.

xXxXxXxXx

"I still wonder what that front desk lady meant by doctor Sohma being special?" Sakura asked as the three leaned on the wall to wait for Kurogane to come out of the bathroom.

"Remember? It is his birthday today!" Fai said as he raised a finger, a smile on his face.

"And he also liked this little guy." Fai added, softly petting Mokona's head with the tips of his fingers. The bathroom door suddenly opened, scaring Syaoran and Sakura. A silent Kurogane walked out, his hands in his pockets. He stopped right in front of the blonde then unexpectedly hugged Fai. Fai's blue eyes widened slightly.

"…Twins! They're twins…!" Fai felt his shoulder become wet with tears. The blonde let out a breath of relief.

"That's right Kuro-chuu. Congratulations." Fai said as he blinked to see clearly. The couple cried with joy in the hallway of floor two and Sakura shed some tears as well while Syaoran said his polite congratulations to the couple. In the ultrasound room, a dragon and a dog happily watched the family, as they knew that family would grow much bigger soon.
