Wow! I didn't set a certain amount I wanted (I never do it sounds too demanding and will the have the opposite affect if you ask me,) but I already have 5 reviews so I figured I should probably update!

Chapter One: Road Trip

"But Mom!"

"I already said no, Kumiko! You can go see your friends some other weekend. You already knew that we're going to go see your father's parents this Saturday. Now, you go sort this out with your friend."

Kumiko scowled and stomped out of the room to call her friend and sort this out.

Yolei was having a typical, stressful day. This only continued as she trip over her son's blocks while trying to get into the kitchen. "Etsuko! How many times do I have to tell you to pick up your toys before going on to something else?" She asked, exasperated.

Etsuko peeked out sheepishly from the other room.

Yolei had just started washing the dishes even though it was Ken's turn when Hotaru awoke from his afternoon nap and started to wail.

Yolei sighed, dried off her hands, and went to go get him.

Being a mother resulted in a hectic life. She couldn't see how her parents could manage with five kids. Especially since Yolei knew that she herself was not a particularly easy child. She was much like Kumiko, though, minus the glasses, Kumiko was the living replica of her father.

As she picked up her youngest son and began to sooth him she thought about the time when she had only wanted one child. Mimi only had one child and she was equally as busy.

Hikaru was a sweet boy, but Mimi was busy with her cooking show.

As Hotaru stopped crying she smiled contentedly. Oh yes, it was a hectic life, but she wouldn't trade anyone for it.

...

For Sora, this wasn't the case. She and Matt had been married for years now, but no child had ever come.

Could you call this fate? Were they not meant to be together?

When she was younger and arguing with her mother, Sora had tried to see the problem from her mother's perspective. As difficult as it seemed, Sora had never not wanted to be a mother herself.

She sighed. Moping did her no good, but Matt had been gone for two weeks now and she had done every single household chore there was. There were times that she wished that Biyomon was messier just so that she'd have something to do.

But Biyo was well aware of her wallowing and she thought that being meticulously neat was making things easier on Sora.

The phone rang and Sora's hand shot out to the bedside table. Perhaps Matt was coming home early. If this was the case she knew he would be bummed about it, but maybe they would have a child soon if he could just spend a little more time at home.

When she brought the phone up to her ear it was and exuberant Kari. "Sora, you're coming for the dress fitting next weekend, right?"

"Yeah of course." Kari and T.K.'s wedding was drawing ever closer. All weddings for digidestined were a cause for a massive headache, but it seemed to have no effect on Kari. But Sora knew that T.K. was trying to do as much as possible to keep from a cranky, over-stressed fiancé.

Digidestined weddings were always such a big deal because there were always huge wedding parties. Soon the people planning the wedding were just as exhausted as the future bride and groom. Not to mention that there were certain people, like Davis for instance, who never really grew up on the inside and it showed on the outside.

To be honest, Sora was looking forward to it. Who would have thought that Sora Takenouchi would ever be excited about going out with her friends just to put on a dress? But she was Sora Ishida now...

Kari had hung up; Sora was sure she had a million other things to do at that time so she wasn't surprised that the conversation had been so short.

She walked across the room to one of her many filing cabinets. This was wasn't for any official papers though. Sora had a picture of every digidestined and their family.

The most recent one was of T.K. and Kari. They were under a cherry blossom tree in the springtime. It was last spring; the day they'd announced their engagement. It wasn't really much of a surprise. Everyone had been waiting for it to happen. T.K. had his arms around her. Kari was pressed up against his chest, but had her head turned to us, and exultant smile adorning her face.

Sora thought back to when they'd found out that she and Matt were engaged. T.K. of course had been notified ahead of time. But that night Matt and the boys were going out partying. Matt would tell them then. Sora had been with the girls over at Yolei's house.

At the time Yolei had been pregnant with her and Ken's first child, Kumiko, so, unlike the boys, the girls didn't do any drinking that night.

There was a distinct difference between Sora's announcement and Kari's. Kari and T.K.'s engagement had been met with cheers. Sora and Matt's had been met with a shocked silence.

"Congratulations." Mimi had said a bit weakly.

"What's wrong?" Sora had asked after no one had said anything.

"Well, uh..." Kari had blushed as Yolei escaped to the bathroom just because she'd had an excuse to.

Once Kari's cheeks lit up it had all sunk in and the look on her face must of shown it.

"You guys thought I'd be with..." At the time she hadn't been able to even say his name for embarrassment encompassed her as Kari looked down.

"Well," she said quietly "I know you and Matt have been going out for a while and everything, but..."

"Oh, Sora!" burst out Mimi as Yolei came back into the room. "We didn't think you would actually marry him!"

"But... if he's who you want..." They were the first words Yolei had said since the news had come out. She was obviously trying to be fair, though she didn't seem too much happier than anyone else in the room.

"He is!" Sora had said fervently. At the time she had been determined to prove them wrong. She and Matt did belong together!

But, at the time, she'd been so sure she loved Matt.

She replaced the one of T.K. and Kari and took out one of three people.

In this picture, Tai and his wife Jalissa were standing together. In Tai's arms was his one month old daughter, Tia.

This was a memorable photo in many ways. This was Tai's first and only child. And secondly, Jalissa had been killed in a car wreck a month later.

Tai hadn't seen anyone since. Tia was eight years old now, and Tai put every effort he could into make sure she was happy. Tia was his princess.

She looked just like him too. Kumiko was Ken's female replica, Tia was Tai's.

Tia had never known her mother... Jalissa had been sweet, but there had always seemed to be something missing from her and Tai's relationship. They didn't have the same closeness as Joe and Mimi. And they'd never had the sort of spark that Yolei and Ken had. Or the sense of rightness that went with T.K. and Kari.

Now that she thought of it... what did she and Matt have? After coming up with no answer she put the picture back and carefully closed the cabinet.

Normally, Sora was not one for hasty decisions that weren't thought through correctly. If she had taken time to think about it, Sora probably could've thought of hundreds upon hundreds of reasons as to why she shouldn't go through with this.

But she ignored this thought and grabbed her car keys.

She was going to go pay Tai a visit.

Read and Review Please! Okay, I tried to make this kinda long because the Prologue was so short. I don't own Digimon. I know in the show Sora and Matt had two kids, but that would mess up the story.

Kumiko is 11, Etsuko is 6, Hotaru will be turning 1 in about a month.

Tia is 8.

And Hikaru is 12.
