Chapter 17 Begins

August 2nd Morning at 7am:

Tai slept slumped in the chair next to Sora's hospital bed. Sora was asleep also, she was dreaming..

[queue song..]

………….

Many Night we pray

With no proof anyone could hear

We barley understood

Now we are not afraid

Although we know there's much to fear

We were moving mountains

Long before we knew we could, woh, yes

There can be miracles

You can believe

Though hope is frail

It's hard to Kill

Sora telling Tai about her pregnancy….

Who knows what miracles

You can achieve

When you believe somehow you will

You will when you believe

(Mmm…mmm…mmm…..yeah)

Mmm…yeah

In this time of fear

When prayer so often proves in vain

Hope seems like the summer bird

Too swiftly flown away

Yet now I'm standing here

My heart's so full, I can't explain

Seeking faith and speakin' words

I never thought I'd say

At the first ultrasound. è

"I'm just going to put some of this jelly one your stomach it going to be cold at first but that's all." Dr. Ollson told Sora. "Okay." She replied. she held on to Tai hand. "Okay were set, let's turn it on……there and there's the baby." She motioned to them, "Whoa…that's cool." Tai said watching it. Sora giggled. "Your silly Tai." she replied. "No but it is." He replied watching. ……..

There can be miracles

When you believe (When you believe)

Though hope is frail

It's hard to Kill (Mm)

Who knows what miracles

You can achieve ( You can achieve)

When you believe somehow you will

You will when believe

[Hey]

[Ooh]

They don't always happen when you ask, uh

And it's easy to give in to your fear, uh [Oh]

But when you're blinded by your pain

Can't see you way safe through the rain

Thought of still resilient voice

Says love is very near, oh [Oh]

There can be miracles (Miracles)

When you believe (Boy, when you believe, yeah) [Through hope is frail]

Through hope is frail [it's hard]

It's hard to kill (Hard to Kill, oh, yeah)

Who knows what miracles

You can achieve (You can achieve, oh)

When you believe you will (somehow, somehow, somehow)

Somehow you will ( I know, I know, know)

You will when you believe [When you]

(oh….oh)

[You will when you]

(You will when you believe)

[Ooh…ooh…ooh]

[Ooh…Ooh]

[When you believe]

[When you believe]

[End song…]

Sora woke up, groggily turned her head to her left to see Tai. She smiled at him, 'he didn't have to stay here.' She thought. 'he looks so uncomfortable' she looked over at him, as she shift Tai woke up, he moaned.

"Oh…man…" he replied trying to get comfortable in the chair. "Tai." Sora called him. He looked at her. "Your awake?." He went over to her and kissed her.

"Morning." She said. "Morning." He replied back. Sora was about to begin to say something but Tai stopped her. "Ah….I wanted to stay." He replied. "But your sleeping in that chair, I can imagine it must have been uncomfortable." She replied.

"Yeah, but I do it for you." He replied. Sora raised one eye brow looking at him. "Your sweet, Tai but you didn't have to sleep in the chair." She said again. "Then how about I come with you in your bed?" he asked smartly. Sora smiled and moved over patting the spot next to her. "Come." She replied.

Matt was still asleep he tossed in bed……

"You killed me Matt." Brittany's ghost figure flew around him. Taunting him. "I didn't it was accident." He cried. She flew around him.

"No, you wanted me gone and you got what you wanted." She replied. "NO you can't accuse me of that! I wasn't thinking That!" he cried out.

"And you have to pay." She pointed at him. The floor underneath him gave way. "AHHHHH!" Matt screamed

Then woke in a cold sweat, he looked around his room. He brought his knees up to his chest putting his head down. "this is going to be difficult." He said out loud. How was he supposed to face Brittany today. He got out of bed walking to the washroom. Looking himself in the mirror, 'I look awful' he thought. 'I need a shower.' He replied.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Mom! I'm going to the hospital." Kari called to her. "Okay sweet heart" she replied. "Bye Mom!" she called again. "Bye." She said back. Kari got her shoes putting them on, she stepped outside. When the some put there hand over her mouth, Kari tried to scream but she could, then the person turned her around. And she saw TK she pushed his hand away.

"TK! YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME!" she yelled at him. "I was just joking around, I didn't mean to scare you." He replied, she glared at him. "Come on your coming with me." She replied, taking his hand and pulled him with her. "Where?" he asked. "Hospital." She replied.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Tai and Sora where both sleeping, Tai was on his side with his right arm draped over Sora's chest, Sora slept on her back with her headed titled toward Tai a little. Mimi came to the hospital today she didn't go to see Sora or Tai last night. she peeked in saw Tai and Sora asleep, in a weird position. Mimi sighed Sora opened her eyes and she saw Mimi and motioned her to come in.

"Hi Sora, I'm sorry I didn't come in to see you." She replied. Sora shook her head. "No don't worry about it." She replied and pushed herself up slowly trying not to make noise, to wake Tai up, his arm now resting in her lap, she moved it to her side, and got up. "I'm glad your okay. And the baby." She replied.

"Yeah, I'm lucky it wasn't sever" Sora replied, from the washroom then coming back on and sitting down on one of the chairs, Mimi took another seat next to her.

"So you are engaged when are you two going to get married, your of legal age." Mimi replied. Sora eyed her curiously. "So…" she replied. "So, you can get married. Of course." Mimi told her.

"My mom said that to us once but I don't exactly remember when." She replied. "Oh come on Sora, you can't wait for long what about your little girl" she replied. "Mimi…" Sora started but she was stopped.

"No I'm serious I'll help you with the expensive, My parents are rich." She replied. "And so are Tai's." Sora replied. Tai moved when his name was mentioned, then looking up and seeing Mimi, Sora talking.

"Hi Mimi…." He said slowly. "Oh Hi Tai morning." She said. He nodded. "Sora I don't think staying up late was the best Idea." He replied. Mimi made a face.

"Tai what do you say about getting married to Sora like next year?" Mimi questioned. Tai looked at her then he put some stupid smile on his face.

"Yeah, I got no objection at all." He said looking at Sora knowingly. Sora rolled her eyes. Mimi caught the thing between them.

"Okay what's wrong?" she asked. Sora looked at her friend. "Nothing, I think he's only interested in the honeymoon." She replied. Mimi frowned. "Tai! the ceremony is the most beautiful thing about weddings." Mimi said.

"Yeah…I know….but the honeymoon is just as beautiful." He replied, mimicking Mimi's beautiful speech. "I'll fix him later." Sora replied. Tai just smiled.

"Ew, please. About the wedding thing." Mimi stated. "Okay Yeah how about we get married in…." he stopped and thought for a while. "December" he replied. "That early?" Sora questioned him. Tai shrugged. "Sure why not I mean it's the perfect time." He replied.

They both looked over at Mimi. "Yes! That means we got to start now….." she stopped her voice etched with sadness. "Hey what's wrong with you?" Sora asked. "I should have told you this sooner, at the park. Brittany showed up with a gun, she was going to shoot me and Kari. Then Matt showed up from no where, he tried to get the gun from her and somehow she got shot….And now he's blaming himself. Tai you got to talk to him." She replied.

Tai and Sora where shocked. "Well is Brittany okay?" Sora asked, Mimi nodded. "Yeah I went to visit her this morning, I know all the things she done were bad but, she a person still and I don't want her to die." She replied sincerely. "Whoa, Man I'll talk to him. But I'll wait till lunch time." He replied. "Okay then. I'll think I'll go home, bye guys." Mimi said as she left.

Matt was trying to make some cereal for himself, he poured the milk into the bowl then his mind wonder off. "Ah!" he jumped up his pants were wet from the milk spilling off the table, he put the milk carton on the table, mumbling a few choice words under his breath. The milk had started to dripping on to the ground, and he sighed.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kari and TK got distracted by the park. And were now kissing on one of the park benches, quite passionate…

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

11:00am:

The baby was brought to Sora. "Saria is well enough to be able to stay with you in the same room. But I'm afraid you can't hold her yet, her lungs need to have a chance to get used to the in take of air, that should only be for a week or less." The nurse told Sora. Who was laying in the hospital bed.

"Oh, that's good. At least she fine." Sora replied sighing of relief. "if you need something or in case of an emergency you just click on this button." She replied holding it to Sora and she put it back on her night table.

"She's all right, see Sora." Tai replied. "Yeah and thank god that she's still with us." Sora replied. Tai remembered he had to go see Matt. "Sora, I'm going to see Matt okay. Will you be fine here by yourself?" Tai asked her. Sora nodded

"Yeah, I'm fine. You see Matt but remember to come back." She said. Tai smiled. "Don't you worry about that. I'll be back." Tai replied, kissing her. Before he left. Sora laughed. "Silly Tai." she said to herself.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Brittany woke from her unconscious state she saw her mother and father with her. "Mom……..dad……" she replied weakly. "Oh Brittany darling your okay." She replied. She was trying to be okay mentally, but now she realized, what had happened to land her in the hospital.

'he shot me..' she thought upset, she couldn't believe he'd shot her. Him the person she was in love with. 'why would he do it? How could he have done it?' those question's whirled around in her mind.

The Coners weren't aware of there daughters mental state at all until now. "He …….shot…….. me." She said out loud. "We……..in………love………why̷ 0;…?" Brittany asked her parents. "Who are you talking about sweet heart?" her father asked her. "Matt." She said. "He dose honey it was just an accident." Her mother told them.

"Were just going to be outside of the room to talk okay honey." Her dad said to her as he escorted his wife out the door. Brittany was to upset to say anything at all.

"I don't think Brittany is feeling okay." Her dad said to his wife. She nodded understanding what he said was true. "It's happening again." Brittany's mother replied to her husband. She then began to sob onto her husbands shoulder. He hushed her trying to clam her down.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Tai arrived at Matt's apartment complex, and was heading up to his floor. Once he got there he knocked on the door. He didn't get a reply, he knocked again, but no answer. Tai began to panic his mind filled with what ifs

"Hold on buddy I'm coming." He said, he used he key that Matt gave him. "MATT!" he yelled. Matt jumped and fell off of his sofa in the confusion and partly he was scared out of his mind. "Opps, sorry I should of looked first, you had me worried there." Tai replied. Matt looked at him sleepily and tired. "What for?" Matt asked. Tai shook his head. "No never mind about that." He replied. he then continued.

"Mimi told me about the shooting thing and all." Tai said. "Yeah so?" Matt asked. "I came here to talk to you about it, I know you need to talk about so spill it, no more hiding feeling or keeping them bottle up." Tai replied. Matt only sighed annoyed.

"I thought I need to talk to you but not any more so you can leave now." Matt said to him. "I'm trying to help, remember like you were trying to help me last year?" Tai questioned. "Different circumstances Tai." Matt said. Now it was Tai's turn to be annoyed.

"Man, Stop thinking no one can help you with this. There's a lot of people that can." Tai replied angry. "Mimi helped me enough Tai, so get lost." Matt said to him also angry.

"Do you want me to knock some sense into you?" Tai gritted angry. Matt got up to the challenge.

"Bring it on!" Matt replied. he punched Tai in the face catching Tai off guard Tai didn't actually think he'd punch him then he decided why not...Tai got up he threw a punch to Matt's jaw.

He fell back a bit. Then Matt tackled him to the ground started to throw punch at him, Tai was attempting to block them with his hands and arms. "Matt stop it!!" Tai told him.

Matt didn't listen and continued, Tai punched Matt as hard as he could, then threw Matt landed on the floor. When he didn't get up Matt began to cry he sat up right on the floor, not because of the physical fight but because he was sorry, to Tai and to Brittany about the accident. Tai got up slowly, he walked over to Matt and helped him up.

"Matt…" Tai said trailing off. He sighed. "I didn't keep my promise. *sniffs* I hurt some body and there probably dead now cause of my stupid promise!" Matt yelled thought his tears.

"Matt's she alive." Tai consoled, rubbing the his own injuries. "How do you know that!" he yelled again. "Mimi went to see her." Tai told him. Matt swallowed his crying.

"She's too sincere." Matt said out loud sadly. "Yeah and isn't that what you love about her, Matt you got to realize that it wasn't your fault, you didn't shoot on purpose it was an accident." Tai said. Matt didn't say anything.

"Mimi's really upset abut this, if you don't forgive yourself then this could ruin your relationship with her again and I know you don't want that to happen." Tai finished.

"How?" he swallowed back his tears, "How do I do that, when I can't even get thought it!!." He yelled. "Then you should go see her." Tai said to him. "I can't see her, don't you understand. It would be too much" Matt said to him.

"Then if not for yourself do it for Mimi at least." Tai replied. Matt sighed. "fine, I'll think about. It." He replied. "Um, Matt do you got an Ice pack?" Tai asked. "Yeah there in the fridge somewhere, get one for me too." He replied.

Tai went into the fridge and found the ice packs, there were a lot in there. "How many do you go in there?" he asked.

"10 I think" Matt said as Tai handed him the ice pack. "Hey, I'm going to go see you later. And Matt remember about what I said." Tai replied, Matt nodded understanding him.

"Yeah but remember to bring that Ice pack back." He called. "Yeah, Man see ya later." Tai replied as he left.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Sora hi." TK said as he and Kari walked into her hospital room. "They let Saria stay with me. She going to make it." She replied. Kari hugged Sora, then turned to the baby. "Oh she's so cute." She motioned to TK to come over and look at Saria. "Look how sweet she is." Kari replied. Sora smiled, she could see how uncomfortable TK was.

"TK what's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing, it's just she so small." He replied. Sora frowned. "Do all guys say that?" she asked out of the blue. Kari and TK both looked at her. "huh?" they asked. "Never mind." She said.

"Hey where is Tai?" Kari asked. "He went to talk to Matt about that whole shooting thing." Sora said "But he's coming back after." She finished.

Just as she spoke her word Tai came in holding and Ice pack to his eye. Sora gasped. Causing TK and Kari to looked at him too.

"Hi, hehe. had an accident?" he questioned to them. Sora sighed. "You fought did you?" she said to him. "Yeah, but he's the one who started it." Tai replied.

"Why do you do you two fight? For no reason?" TK questioned. Tai shrugged "Don't know, Matt got angry, so did I and then got into a heated argument then Matt punched me, then I got mad and punched him back, he tackled me to the and ground started to throw punches at my face while I tried to block it off. So then I punched him with all my power and then wham. He fell back on the ground then he start to cry. That's when he actually opened up." Tai told them.

"You're the weird-est best friends I ever seen." Kari replied annoyed. "Yeah, to think you two are 18 and you don't even act like it." TK said shaking his head. "Okay what ever, We did talk after the fight his thinking about going to see Brittany." Tai said. "Well at least you gave him advice." She paused then continued. "Tai go home and get rest I'll be okay here myself." Sora told him. Tai rolled his eyes. "No, what for. Just let me stay her for a while." Tai pleaded. "Okay fine.." Sora said.

Later on That Night:

Matt finally got the courage to go see Brittany in the hospital. He slowly walked to her door and saw her with her parents, her mother saw him and motioned for him to come into the room. "Matt, Brittany explained everything that happened between you two this year and last year." Her mother told him. Her father nodded.

"I'm sorry about this." Matt said, to them. they shook there heads. "I understand your were trying to take the gun away from her, Matt it's a good thing you were there." Her father replied to him.

Matt was shocked they would even forgive him for what he had done to there daughter. "I'm so sorry about this, I really am. I never meant to hurt her feeling thought all of this, but she has to understand that I don't love her, I am in love with some one else." Matt said. Her parents looked at him.

"I know that your sorry for everything, There no need to worry cause we didn't realize that my daughter was up to know good." Her father told him, then her mother continued. "she's going to be okay, though it turned out just be very mild puncture to the stomach area and some of her kidney" she replied. Matt lowered his eye to the ground.

"And where going to have her get a psychiatric evaluation." Her mother said. Matt looked worried at them. "Did I drive her to it?" he asked. "No, she's like this obsessive about an object of desire witch was you this time she did that another time, when she was in elementary school." Her father explained. Matt felt better, now that her parents had forgive him.

"Well, I'm going to now, can you tell her that I'm greatly fully sorry for what happened. And that I hope she will get better soon." He handed them a card. "That's for her." Matt replied as he left.

"Nice boy, he was awfully guilty for what happened." Brittany's mother said to him Brittany's father nodded in agreement.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After about a few hours of coaxing Tai in going home, which she finally convinced him to go it took her a lot out of her she peacefully fell asleep.

Back at home.

Tai walked through the door, he went into the bedroom the his and Sora's washroom. He looked in them Mirror then he notice writing on it. Tai read it. "What the…" he angered. There is only one person he knew that would write something like that. "Jeff." He said, he left the house immediately. "No one, hurts. Sora or my baby and gets away with it." Tai replied bitterly angry and pissed off.

TBC………………………… ;…

You'd think Tai didn't want to fight again? wait till the next chapter.

And other notes Thanks for everyone vote about Brittany. At the Ending of Chapter 16 I really put down that she died, but then I changed it that she didn't die It would be a little more interesting if she didn't die. Any way I'm sticking with my ordinal idea she doesn't die, but she not mentally stable.

I hope you like this chapter of Begins.
