-2 days later-
"You know I think
I've got two scars on my back now because of you," Wizardmon said
that morning.
Gatomon laughed, "Not my fault."
"Yeah it is! You started it."
"And you finished it," Gatomon smirked. Ha, good point. Two days/nights ago was almost the greatest night ever for Gatomon. She didn't know why, but it just felt so. Ah this was the life. For two weeks straight they could have whatever fun they wanted, and without ANY complaints.
"So…after breakfast what do you want to do?" Wizardmon asked as he sat down next to her at the breakfast table.
"Well, you did say you wanted to visit your little brother for a while," Gatomon answered as she poured some juice into her glass.
Wizardmon nodded.
"Then it's settled, we'll go to him."
Gatomon was fixing to take a bite into her eggs, till her stomach growled…oddly. Not again! It's been doing this all morning. It's starting to make me sick to my stomach.
"Gatomon, is that your stomach growling?" Wizardmon said, laughing at the odd noise, "If you're hungry why'd you stop eating?"
Gatomon didn't answer; she just jumped off the chair and ran around the corner.
Wizardmon blinked, "Did I say something bad?"
He didn't know if he wanted to follow her or not. If she WAS mad, he didn't want to bother her. Normally in the mornings she could be very cranky. Eventually she came back sighing.
"What's the matter? You look a bit ill," Wizardmon said.
"I do feel ill. I don't know why, but my stomach has been hurting a bit. Ever since the night," Gatomon answered, taking a seat next to him. He'd already finished his breakfast. She looked down at her plate, another motion of sickness ran through her.
"Ugh," she said and pushed the plate away then sat her head on the table.
Wizardmon rubbed her back, "Are you alright? Do you want to see a doctor? Maybe Joe?"
Gatomon shook her head, "Maybe it's a stomach virus or something. Or maybe I did get a cold from us being outside so long that night. I'll just go back to bed."
"Alright," Wizardmon said nodding.
Before Gatomon disappeared into the bedroom, she turned back to him, "Hey…sorry that our plans suddenly got ruined because of me. Maybe we can go see Cogymon tomorrow."
Wizardmon nodded, "It's alright if you're sick. Just get some rest and until you're feeling better, then we'll see my brother."
"Thank you. I love you so much," Gatomon smiled.
Wizardmon smiled back, "I love you too."
Once Gatomon was gone, a wave of concern went through Wizardmon. What if she caught some kind of virus? Could it be bad? I think I should call Joe.
With that he got up and headed toward the phone. First he tried his house, but Joe wasn't there. Then he remembered he was now working at the hospital. So he called them. Finally he got a hold of him.
"Hello? Doctor Kido speaking," Said the familiar voice from the other side of the phone line.
"Hey, it's me Wizardmon," Wizardmon said.
"Oh hey…uh…why are you calling?"
"It's Gatomon. I'm slightly worried. It's nothing big; she's just not feeling well."
"What are the symptoms?"
"Stomach ache and vomiting."
"Probably a stomach flu. Come to me about it if she keeps vomiting in another three to four days."
"Alright."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye," Wizardmon said, sighed, and hung up. Well if that's all Joe could think of, then she must be alright. He quietly walked into the room to see her curled up in a ball and asleep. He slowly moved his hand to her forehead. No fever. That's good. Gatomon woke up from the feeling of the soft glove to her forehead. She turned to him and whispered, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I was only a bit concerned. I thought you had some virus or something," Wizardmon answered as he sat down next to her.
Gatomon sat up and smiled, "You worry too much. It's alright. I'll be fine."
She leaned against him and sighed, "I just feel so sick all of a sudden. I did yesterday too, but I just didn't think it was as bad. I thought it was something I ate."
"Well, Joe says it could be a stomach virus. If you're still sick like this in three to four more days, we're going to take you to him," Wizardmon said, rubbing her back again.
Gatomon looked up at him in surprise," You called him?"
"Yeah, he's a
Digimon doctor now…right?"
"True…I just wouldn't have
thought you were THAT concerned."
"Well, you know how I can get when I'm worried. Definitely if it's you I'm worried about."
Gatomon smiled and closed her eyes, "Oh I love you so much."
"I love you too."
With that he leaned back and both fell asleep. Despite the fact that Wizardmon wasn't really tired, but he just wanted to be by her side through the whole thing.
Three days later…nothing changed. Actually it seemed that it was getting worse. And it was then that Gatomon started to think. Did I FINALLY get what I want? How can I know completely? I can't ask Joe. He'll tell Wizardmon. I don't want him knowing all the way. Matter a fact… Gatomon paused. Oh no. What if I am? What would he think? Would he not care for me anymore? Does he not feel ready to be a father? He did say he wanted more adventure before having to start a family. But if he would say that, wouldn't he use protection? Then again…no one really did. They never thought about it. Gatomon began to panic even more. She needed to ask SOMEONE! Someone who knew about this kind of stuff. Suddenly she remembered.
"Sora!" Gatomon said out loud to herself.
She sat up from the bed and walked out over to the living room.
"Hey Wizardmon, I'm going out for a little walk. I just need some fresh air. And I have a few things on my mind, so I want to walk alone," Gatomon said to him, whom was sitting on the couch reading a book.
"Sure," Wizardmon said.
Gatomon smiled, then went up to him to kiss him before leaving, "Bye. Love you."
"Love you too. Have a good time."
Gatomon nodded and walked out. Once she was outside, she began to run. Luckily the college wasn't far from here. Just hopefully she was there.
Gatomon knocked on the door of the room she stayed in.
"Just a moment!" Came a voice from the room. A familiar one. But not Sora's voice.
"Hello? Oh…hi Gatomon! What're you doing here?" Mimi asked.
"Hey," Gatomon began, "Oh um…is Sora here?"
"Of course," Mimi said and moved aside so she could come in.
"Sora! Gatomon is here," Mimi said, yelling toward the kitchen.
"Really? What does she want?" Sora said as she walked out.
Gatomon looked up at her, and then back at the floor, "I need to talk to you about something. In private."
Sora cocked her head to the side. Gatomon sure seemed upset; I guess she really meant it. Sora looked at Mimi and both nodded.
"I'll stay in here," Mimi said as she sat down on the couch and turned on the TV.
"Come on," Sora said as she lead Gatomon to her room.
"Ok…what is it?" Sora asked as they both sat down on her bed.
"I…I don't know how to really describe this. It's just…I've been kinda sick lately. About 5 days ago…Wizardmon and I…uh…well," Gatomon said and began to blush.
"Ah I see. Soooo you're thinking you're…" Sora began but saw Gatomon nod before she could say the word.
"I actually want this though!" Gatomon began, with tears in her eyes, "But then I never thought about what Wizardmon would think about it! What if he'll get mad at me? I don't think either of us are exactly ready for the responsibility of a child!"
"Shh…it's ok Gatomon," Sora began as she gave her a comforting hug, "I understand that you're scared. But you can't just jump to conclusions! First of all. This is Wizardmon we're talking about! He would never do anything like that just because of having to take the responsibility of a child. He died for you. So you know he'd do anything for you. Anything."
Gatomon looked up at Sora with tears still in her eyes. She was right! What was Gatomon thinking? How could she judge him wrongly like that?
"Now…second of all. We're not completely sure if you ARE pregnant. There's only one way to figure it out…"
Gatomon looked at her with a questioning look.
"Let's go pay Joe a visit."
Gatomon nodded slowly.
"That's my girl," Sora said smiling, and patting her on the back, "Now…is it alright if I talk to Mimi about this? She would be probably wondering why we're leaving so suddenly like this. And at the hospital too!"
Gatomon nodded slowly again, "O-okay, just…make her promise she won't tell everyone about it. I want to announce it on my own if it's 100 that I am pregnant."
"Ok," Sora said smiling and stood up, "You just stay here and I'll go talk to her."
Gatomon kept her eyes glued to the floor and only nodded.
-Minutes later-
"I really can't believe that GATOMON might have a baby! This is so exciting! First Sora and now Gatomon!" Mimi squealed as they headed toward the hospital.
"Now Mimi! You promised you would shut up about this!" Sora said.
"I know, I know," Mimi sighed.
Gatomon was quiet the whole time. Most of the time she was still thinking of what Wizardmon would think about this. And then again she was hoping that it was 100 true that she is pregnant. She was starting to regret it though. She was starting to hate all the things she was having to go through for this. Mostly the emotion of disappointment.
"Gatomon…you alright back there?" Sora asked, looking through the rear view mirror to look at her.
"Huh…oh …yeah a little," she said quietly.
"Ok, tell us if you start feeling ill again. You kinda look so," Sora said.
"Aww! Poor dear Gatomon," Mimi said, "Here. Have some water."
Mimi tossed a bottle of water over her shoulder and Gatomon quickly caught it. Her mouth did taste a bit funny. Before they had left she got sick again. All over Sora's bed too. She didn't mean it; it just came out of no where.
"We're here," Sora said as the car came to a halt and they parked near the entrance.
Mimi and Sora got out of the car, but Gatomon remained in the spot she was in.
"Oh come on Gatomon! You can do this!" Sora said.
Gatomon out at the two standing there and waiting for her; she smiled and then got out.
"Hello…how may I help you?" Said the woman at the desk.
"Yeah, we're here to see Doctor Kido," Sora said.
"Ah, ok. His office is just down the hall, take a left about half way there and you should see his room."
"Thank you," Sora said nodding and then walked to the direction. She stopped and turned around, "Well…come on Gatomon! Stop dragging behind."
The closer they got to his door, the more butterflies flew in her stomach.
Once they were at his door frame, Sora knocked on the wall to get Joe's attention. The door was left wide open and he was deep into some paper work. Joe lifted his head up to see the three girls, "Oh! Hello you three! Come on in!"
Sora and Mimi happily
walked in and took a seat, as Gatomon slowly came behind and slowly
took a seat between them.
"So…why're you here?" Joe
asked.
"We're here because of here," Mimi said pointing at Gatomon.
Gatomon had her eyes glued to the floor still.
"Ah…and the reason is why?"
"She thinks she's pregnant," Sora said. Plain and simply too.
Joe had pen in his hand, and quickly dropped it, "Really? Hm…well that might explain the nausea she's been feeling. Come with me Gatomon. I need to do a few tests on you to see if it's true or not."
Gatomon didn't budge.
"Go on!" Sora said pushing her. Eventually Gatomon gave up and jumped down off the chair and walked over to Joe. He led her into a room next door.
"Oh, you two just stay here," Joe said.
Mimi and Sora nodded.
Minutes later, Joe and Gatomon came back.
"Yep. She is, "Joe said with a smile on her face.
Mimi and Sora's face brightened up a lot. "Wow! That's great news! That's wonderful! Congrats Gatomon!" Sora said. Mimi had ran over to her to give her a hug. Gatomon was both happy and sad. How was she going to tell Kari and Wizardmon? She took another deep sigh and played along with the happiness.
"So…when are you going to tell him?" Sora asked as they headed back to her home.
"Tell who?" Gatomon asked, raising her head to her.
"Wizardmon of course!" Sora said with a slight giggle in the tone of her voice.
"Oh…yeah. I…I'll tell him eventually."
"Well don't tell him TOO late! Soon he'll just start thinking you're getting fat!"
Mimi and Sora laughed at the joke, yet quickly stopped when they noticed Gatomon was still upset.
"Listen Gatomon. You need to lighten up a bit. I thought you wanted this! I was upset too when I figured out I was pregnant too! But I was able to tell Tai and then we were happy," Sora said.
Mimi turned around to Gatomon, and put her hand on Gatomon's chin to lift her head up, "Listen to Sora, Gatomon. Everything will be alright."
Gatomon looked at their faces. They both showed how much they were right. This brought a smile to Gatomon's face, "Yes. You're right."
"That's a good kitty," Mimi said and patted her playfully on the head and then turned her attention back to the font of the car, "Oh! Sora turn up the radio I love this song!"
The chattering of the two faded from Gatomon's conscious mind as she thought of a good way to tell Wizardmon of the wonderful news.
