The next morning, Patamon was in the kitchen making coffee. Gatomon was obviously still sleeping, because she wasn't up yet. When he was waiting for the coffee to sit, he thought about the appointment yesterday. It was sad about losing one of the babies, but he had to admit, he couldn't take care of five. He was scared of having one; how could he have five? Besides, he knew the chances of keeping them all, which were pretty low, so he didn't keep his hopes up.

He heard their room door shut and the bathroom door open and shut. Then he heard the shower running. He got the coffee and poured it into two cups. When he set them out, Gatomon came out of the bathroom. Her hair was damp and she was fully dressed.

"Hey," he kissed her on her cheek and gave her the coffee cup.

"Good morning," she muttered, and took a sip, "thank you."

"No problem. How are you feeling?"

"I'm okay. I'm still sad about the baby, but it's a bit of a relief, if you know what I mean," she said to him.

"Yeah, I do. Gatomon, you seriously know that we couldn't take care of five. It would've been like... like a daycare!"

"I know. It's still going to be like a daycare with four, too," she laughed.

"Yeah, but we can do it. So, um... what are you doing today?" He asked.

"Probably hanging out with Palmon. Why? What are you doing?"

"You know, I don't know. Maybe hang out with Agumon and the guys. I haven't done that in a while."

"Yeah, you should."

When they finished the coffee, Gatomon went to go call Palmon. She dialed her number. It rang a few times and Tentomon answered.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Tentomon. It's Gatomon. Is Palmon there?" She asked.

"Yeah, hang on a minute," he said. She could hear some ruffling in the back round.

"Gatomon?" Palmon asked.

"Hi, how are you?"

"Bored. I have all these cravings, but Tentomon is holding me back. He says we're spending too much money on groceries lately," she laughed, softly.

"Yeah, I hear cravings are pretty bad. So, do you want to do something today?"

"Yes, I would love to. How about we meet for lunch at noon at The Sandbar?"

"That would be great. See you then," she said and hung up. When she went into the living room, where Patamon was just saying 'bye' and hung up his cell phone.

"That was Agumon," he said, "we're hanging out this afternoon."

"That's great, because I'm going out with Palmon at noon. I have to go get ready," she kissed him lightly and went into their room to put some makeup on. When she was ready, she left the house and got in her car and headed to the cafe'. When she pulled up, she went inside and waited on the bench for Palmon.

"Hi Gatomon," Palmon said, when she walked in.

Gatomon got up, "Hi. How are you?" She hugged her. She noticed Palmon was showing a lot more then the last time she saw her.

"I'm good. Let's go sit down," they walked over to the table and waited for the waitress to come. They each ordered a drink (nonalcoholic, saying as they're both pregnant!) and talked.

"I'm so glad we could do something today. We haven't hung out since your wedding. How has married life been by the way?"

She smiled, "It's been great. We haven't gotten to do much together lately, since we've been really busy, but it's nice to stop worrying about how everything's going to go."

"Yeah, that's why me and Tentomon are waiting," she laughed.

"What sucks is that we don't get to go on a honeymoon until after the babies are born and we get a little bit more settled. And even after they're born, I'm going to want to spend every minute with them," she said.

"I know. How are you dealing since yesterday? Are you okay? I know it must be hard."

"I'm sad. You know, who's not going to be sad when they find out they've lost one of their kids, but five is just too much. Four is too much, too. Kids are just too much. In a way, it's kind of a relief, but it's still very sad."

"I understand. I'm so glad I'm having one, but I'm here for you," Palmon said. They both laughed.

"Speaking of babies, how far are you?" Gatomon asked.

"I'm seven months."

"Wow, that's big. Are you excited?" She asked. She wanted to know everything about having a baby.

"Very. I'm really nervous, too," she smiled, "so is Tentomon."

"Do you know the sex?"

"No. We want it to be a surprise. I hope it's a girl. Of course, Tentomon wants a boy," she giggled.

"Yeah. I hope I have some girls, too," she smiled.

"We have the nursery ready. Tentomon built the crib and we painted the room. We bought toys and everything."

"It's going to be a pretty lucky baby," Gatomon said. "Palmon, I'm thinking. Do you think my kids will hate me because I don't give enough attention to each one?"

"No, Gatomon. They could never hate you. It's going to be really hard giving them each individual attention, but they'll understand. They will know that you love each of them the same."

"Yeah. Thanks. So um... you want to go shopping after this?" She asked.

"Yes, definitely. I can't wait."

When they were done with lunch, they walked around the avenue with little shops. They went into some clothing stores, jewelry stores, and some baby stores, too. They stopped in a baby/toy store.

"Can I help you ladies?" A man asked, coming up to them. His nametag read, 'Gabumon.'

"Well, we're just looking for some baby stuff," Palmon answered.

He smiled, "Well, you've come to the right place."

"Thanks. We'll just look around."

They ended up picking out some cute baby outfits. Gatomon picked out a couple more than Palmon did, though. When they were coming out of the store, they saw Renamon walking down the street. Viximon or Guilmon weren't with her. They walked up to her.

"Hey Renamon," Gatomon said.

"Oh, hey guys. What's going on?" She said.

"Not much. We're kind of baby shopping," Palmon answered and smiled. Gatomon could tell that she was warming up to the fact of having a baby.

"That sounds like fun. I'm just... shopping around."

"Where have you been? We haven't heard from you lately," Palmon said.

"I've been just busy. Well, I have to go," she muttered.

"Renamon, wait," Gatomon said, "what's wrong? Is there anything going on between you and Guilmon?"

"What? No. I don't know what you're talking about."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Now I have to go. We'll get together soon," she said, walking away.

"What's her problem?" Palmon asked Gatomon.

"I'm not quite sure."

When they were done shopping, they said their good byes.

"Thanks for doing something with me today. I've kind of missed you," Palmon said as she hugged Gatomon.

"Yeah, we really do need to do more things together," she said, walking to her car.

"We'll talk soon. Bye," Palmon said, then getting in her car and driving off.

Gatomon sat in her driver seat and sighed. She's going to be so bored this summer. No work, no shopping, and no going out at all! Patamon was going to be at work. She didn't want him to take too many days off work; otherwise they would not have enough money. She started the car and started to drive home.

When she pulled up, she walked in the lobby, and up the stairs. When she opened the door, Patamon was resting on the couch. His eyes were closed. She smiled to herself and put her purse down. She slid onto his lap and pressed her lips against his. His eyes slowly fluttered open.

"Hi," he said.

She looked up at him, "Hey. How was your day with Agumon?"

"Good. We ended up hanging with all the guys. It was nice to hang out with my friends again," he smiled, "and it's nice being awaken by you."

"Well, I had a good time with Palmon, and it's nice coming home to you looking so cute on the couch," she giggled.

"Gatomon."

"Sorry, but you did look cute," she laughed. She kissed him again. He deepened it. She lay down, and he moved on top of her. They continued for a while longer. She sat up for air.

"So, what do you want to do for dinner?" She asked.

"I don't know. Let's go out," he said.

"I already went out," she whined, "my feet hurt."

"So you don't want to spend time with me? Gatomon, I know we haven't been seeing our friends for a while, but it's not like we've spent every minute together... intimately."

"I know. Okay; let's go."

Gatomon was in her room getting ready to go out. They were going to a fancy restaurant, so she had to look nice. She put on a red dress and light makeup. Her tail was up. When she walked out, Patamon was sitting on the couch. He had a dark blue dress shirt and dark jeans on.

"You look great," he said, kissing her cheek.

"Thank you. You look good, too. Come on, I'm hungry!" She giggled and they left. When they got to the restaurant, they got seated immediately because it was Wednesday night. They got their food and started talking.

"So, we're meeting Gazimon tomorrow and we're going to look at a couple houses. What do you think about that?"

"Sounds good. What are we looking for?" She asked, wondering what they were actually looking for.

"Uh... three bedroom? Two?"

"Definitely three, two bathrooms, and just lots of space."

"Sounds perfect. Are you nervous at all?" He asked.

"For what?" She took a bite.

"I don't know; for... life," he smiled.

"Hhmmm, you're not being really specific here."

"Okay, like a year ago, we probably had the most laid back life. We just dated, had steady jobs, nothing to worry about. Now it seems like everything is going by so fast. It all changed."

"In a bad way?"

"No, in a good way. Well, in the sense that I'm married to you now, yes; but in the way that were moving, and having kids, is just a little... overwhelming. And no; I'm not saying I don't want any of it. I want it all," he said, knowing what she was going to say.

"Okay, I understand. It is all just coming really fast. I wish we waited until we were married to get pregnant, but what can you do?" She said.

"Yeah, so what did you and Palmon buy today?" He asked, "Wait, do I even want to know?"

"Shut up," she laughed, "No, we bought cute baby stuff. I'll show you when we get home."

"Can't wait."

"Today, by any chance, was Guilmon there?" She asked.

"No, why?"

"Because, we ran into Renamon and she was acting really weird. I asked her about Guilmon and she got all paranoid and stuff. I don't know what's going on with them."

"Do you think they are maybe..."

"No, of course not. Renamon and Guilmon? Getting a divorce? I highly doubt it. I mean they seem so perfect, and what would happen to Viximon?"

"Gato, they shouldn't stay together just for Viximon. They should do what they want for themselves."

"What are we talking about? We don't even know the real story, so let's just drop it," she said quickly.

"Okay, then."

After dinner, they went back home and snuggled in bed for a while. He wrapped his arms around her side.

"It was really nice going out tonight. We used to do that like twice a week, and now it's hardly ever," Patamon said.

"Yeah, it was really nice," she kissed him. He deepened it and they rolled over, relaxing and giving in more. When they were done (I think you know what), they quickly fell asleep.
