Begins Chapter 6
Tuesday Dec 12th Morning…
Sora got up that morning feeling ill, she ran to the washroom throwing up, "I hope that its not anything serious," she thought feeling scared and she was glad Taichi was going to come with her to the hospital, since that's where her doctor was going to be that morning.
"Sora, are you okay?" Karen called to her growing more concerned hearing he daughter throwing up.
"I'm fine, it may just be the flu," Sora said.
"Okay honey, I want you to tell me how everything goes okay," She said as she headed out the door to the flower business.
Just then, there was a knock at the door Sora answered it, "Hi, Taichi," She said giving him a kiss. "Okay I'm ready," She said as she grabbed her purse and the two left.
Yamato dropped his books into his locker sighed, 'This is hard' he thought to himself and closed his locker then resting his head against the locker door.
"Yamato?" Brittany said calling to him it had been a week since the incident.
He gritted his teeth, 'What the hell does she want now. Like she hasn't done enough all ready,' He thought bitterly, "What," He said snapping at her.
"You look upset are you okay?" she asked.
'How stupid can she be,' he thought, "Oh, yeah I'm absolutely fine. I mean my life couldn't get any better," He said sarcastically.
"I know your upset about losing your girlfriend and everything but I can help you out," She said.
"I don't need your help Brittany. So bud out of my life," Yamato said angrily and he took off down the hall.
"This isn't working the way I hoped it would," Brittany said.
"No, really Brittany you went about it all wrong. He hates you now," Nina said.
"I know that. But how do I undo this," She thought aloud Nina just shook her head.
Doctor's office….
Sora and Taichi waited in the exam room for the doctor to come up to see her. In the room were various posters of the lungs and a poster of a baby with vaccination requirements.
They sat there for about fifteen more minutes when the doctor finally came to see her, "How are you Sora?" he asked.
"I'm good thanks," she answered.
"And this is," he pointed to Taichi.
"My boyfriend," she said smiling at Taichi.
"Okay, so what brings you here?" he asked looking at her.
"Well I have been feeling ill since last week, I fainted a couple of times and the rest was morning sickness," Sora said then realizing what she had said look to Taichi how was blinking still trying to grasp at what she had said.
"I see, so morning sickness and fainting spells, have you tired taking a pregnancy test?" He said wondering.
Sora shook her head, "No I haven't I didn't think that I would be, because of the pills," she said in a quite whisper.
"It's okay it happens. Let me write you up a blood test you can go do it now down in the lab and the results will come in with in the hour," he said writing on a form on his clipboard and handed her it. "I will call you and let you know of the results," he said.
"Okay thank you," Sora said she got up and let the doctor go then slowly Taichi got up who remained very quite. She could feel that he was scared out of his mind.
Down at the lab…
"Okay this will sting a little," The nurse said as she stuck the needle in the vein and drew a quarter of blood from Sora then pulling the needle out of the vein and took off the elastic from around her arm, "hold down on this firmly," She said.
While Sora was in the cubicle getting her blood drawn Taichi was having an difficultly stomaching the idea of begin a parent at the age of seventeen.
Once in the car Taichi had to ask something, "Sora you did use the pill right?" he asked.
"Yes, but I don't know what happened," She said.
"I need to know whether or not you're pregnant. So, I think you should buy a pregnancy test right now," He said driving to a drug store.
Once they got there, Sora got one test and came back, "You'll stay with me right?" she asked him.
"Yeah, I'm partly responsible for this," He said seriously. Sora looked pale as they approached her apartment.
Quarter to eleven…
Yamato paced angrily at Taichi's locker, 'Where on earth could he be. He promised to meet me here,' He thought. Then all his thoughts left him when he saw Mimi at her locker and decided to go over to her, "Mimi?" he said.
She turned around to face him, "Yamato, get away from me now!" she exclaimed, she was still so angry with him right now that words couldn't even describe it.
"But let me explain," He said begging her.
Mimi shook her head, "No, don't. I don't want any explanation on why you slept with her Yamato! So stop trying to talk to me," She said, and quickly left. All he could do was watch as she walked away from him again.
Sora waited patiently as she watched the indicator waiting for it to tell her whether or not she was pregnant.
Taichi was sitting on the couch thinking also, 'I can't be a parent now. I'm too young I still haven't done the things I wanted to do before I start a family,' He thought. Then he remembered about Yamato, "Shit," He said out loud he picked up a phone and called Yamato's cell phone.
"Hello Ishida," He said.
"Yamato I'm so sorry, about ditching you," He said.
"SORRY WERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN! I FELT LIKE AN IDIOT HERE WAITING LIKE A MORON IN FRONT OF YOUR LOCKER," He yelled into the receiver.
"SHUT UP okay I got problems of my own you know," He stated.
Yamato sighed, "Sorry that I shouted like that its just Mimi won't let me explain myself she keeps avoiding me," Yamato said.
"Well you…." He stopped saying what he was going to say as Sora had came into the room tears streaked down her face,
"Sora?" he asked.
She stood a moment and walked over to where he was holding the phone with Yamato's voice asking what's wrong from the other end. Sora showed him the strip indicator, "The plus means…" Taichi trailed off, as Sora nodded.
"Who's on the phone?" Sora asked feeling sick.
"Yamato, I had to apologize about not meeting him," He said then hung the phone up.
She began to cry, "Please don't leave me Taichi, Please," She begged him her new tears falling down her cheeks.
"Sora, I'm not I don't intend to. I love you too much to do that to you," He said.
Sora sighed of relief and hugged him, she was still crying, "I used the pill how could this have gone wrong?" She cried upset.
"I don't know," Taichi said as he too was trying to hold his own emotions in.
"TAICHI!" Yamato yelled into the receiver then he heard dial tone he sighed, "The idiot hung up on me," He said angry and then he turned off his phoned the bell had rung, and Yamato slowly made his way to class in a rotten mood.
Mimi had picked up the phone, called Sora's cell phone. She hated to call her right now but she needed someone to talk with.
Sora broke away from Taichi, she looked over at her coat, "I should get that," She said she wiped some tears from her eyes as began to regain her composer.
"Okay," He said quietly.
Sora picked up the cell phone and opened it, "Hello," She said.
Mimi gasped before answering, "Oh, Sora what's wrong?" Mimi asked forgetting about her problems at the moment.
"Nothing, I'm fine," She replied into the phone.
Mimi didn't believe her, "I know your not okay Sora something is wrong. Tell me," she said demanding now.
Sora laughed a little, "You're sounding like me earlier," She said.
"I know," Mimi said smiling. "How about I come over to your place then we can have a girl's night," Mimi said.
"Yeah, how about I call Hikari and we can all have a girl bounding night. No guys," Sora said.
"Yeah I'd love to we haven't had something like that in a long time. We can tell each other our problems," Mimi said.
"Okay great I'll call Hikari? Where and when do you want do to do this?" Sora asked.
"How about my house, after dinner at 6:00pm," Mimi had suggested.
"Goodbye Mimi," Sora said as she closed her phone.
She looked at Taichi, "That was Mimi, were going to have girl's night tonight," She said.
"Okay, but about the baby what are we going to do?" he asked.
Sora paused to think, "I don't know. I don't even know if I want this baby," She said.
Taichi looked at her shocked, "You're not thinking about an abortion are you?" he asked.
Sora didn't answer him, "Sora I don't want you to do that. Don't do it because of me you'll regret it for the rest of your life," He said.
Sora let some tears flow down her cheeks Taichi gently wiped them away, "Taichi, we shouldn't tell our parents about this yet maybe next week or sometime this week, well once we know for sure then we can tell them," She said.
"Yeah, you got a point but were you seriously thinking of going through with an abortion?" He asked her.
Sora shook her head, "I wasn't I was thinking like giving the baby up, but now I'm not so sure I want to do that. I mean I could cause our baby so much pain if I did," She said sighing.
"Can I just tell Yamato, he's my best friend I do need to talk to a guy about this," He said.
"Yeah, as long as he doesn't spill everything out to the public so it spreads around school," she said agreeing with conditions.
Taichi smiled, "We'll get thought this together right?" He asked.
"Right," She said and they kissed.
"I'm going back to school. Will you be fine?" Taichi asked.
Sora nodded, she started to remove all traces of the pregnancy kit into a little bag, "I'll get rid of this stuff," She said.
Taichi kissed her one last time before leaving for school.
Four o'clock in the after noon Taichi's driving Yamato home...
"You still didn't answer me. Why did hang you up the phone?" Yamato asked for the fifth time.
Taichi kept on avoiding answering him even thought he did plan to tell him what had happened eventually, "I told you, I'll tell you later," Taichi said.
"Why not now what is wrong with right now?" Yamato asked confused and irritated.
Taichi pulled the car over, "Fine you want to know," He said Yamato nodded, "I was at the doctor's office with Sora…" he was interrupted by Yamato.
"Yeah that's nice I asked you why you hanged up on me," Yamato said impatiently.
"Will you just hear me out? I need some advice on this; it's my first time I ever was in this situation," Taichi said stopping and he closed his eyes resting his head on the steering wheel.
Yamato eyed his friend, 'this must be serious' he thought, "It's something more right. Does it have to do with Sora? Is something wrong with her? Is she sick? Is it your sister? What is it?" Yamato asked firing away questions at him.
"Well let's just say, I'm a father," He said.
Yamato's eyes widened, "Whoa, you mean Sora's pregnant?" he asked.
"I hung up on you because I was a Sora's house she was taking a pregnancy test, to see if it's possible that she was. Then I forgot about you on the phone I guess," He said.
Yamato was still shocked he hadn't said anything he didn't know what to say to him, "What do you want me to say?" he asked finally.
"Nothing, I'm sticking thought with her. It's not all her fault that this has happened I'm partly responsible too," He said.
"At least you acting like a mature person and not a rotten one and leaving her to raise the baby alone," He said.
"Thanks Yamato," He said that's when Taichi's emotions slipped, he started to cry in front of Yamato.
"I can't…you see that I'm not…..this….I'm only seventeen years old….and I'm a dad all ready…do you know how much that will screw up my life. My Mom and Dad are going to freak, and Hikari's going to be an aunt at age thirteen!" he yelled.
"Taichi! Get a grip man," Yamato said.
"Me get grip…" he half yelled then trailed off into softly looking off into the night sky ahead.
"Look you want to have guy's night we can talk and have some drinks, Takeru's coming over and I can call Koushiro and Jyou too.
"All at my place, my dad is in at Tokyo for a business trip," Yamato said hopping it would help cheer him up a little.
"Yeah, sure. I could use some drinks," Taichi said.
"Okay good, come over now, I'll call all the guys," Yamato said and Taichi only nodded.
6:00pm Mimi's house….
"Hey Sora, you know I think if we put you hair up in a bun then it will looks so sophisticated," Hikari said.
"Come on girl's movie time!" Mimi called to them.
Sora and Hikari got up and went to the family room, "Okay so what are we watching?" Hikari asked.
"Notting Hill" Mimi said.
"Oh, that's my favorite movie? Sora remember when we forced Taichi and Takeru to watch it at my house?" She said laughing; as she remembered their reaction to hearing the title of the movie they had picked.
"Yeah I remember," She said laughing at the memories.
"When was that? I never got told about it," Mimi said complaining.
"That was last summer," Hikari said.
"Okay the movie is about to start," Mimi said and then shutting off the lights.
