The Love that Binds Chapter 12

9 days after…. December 21st 2016…6:00pm:

Kari stared miserably…out the window of TK's hospital room. It was Tai's Idea that they play music in his room…he believed that if TK heard his favorite music it would bring him out of it…so far no luck….he was the same condition since last week.

There was a knock at the door, Kari turned to see who it was, and she sighed then looked back out the window sadly. Tina slowly entered the room. "When was the last time you've been home?" she asked softly. "2 days ago." Kari replied distantly, Tina watched the girl worriedly. "Did you want me to take you home?" she asked, Kari shook her head. "No." she replied.

Kamiya home….

The Christmas lights blinked off and on…. around the out side of the house inside…the Christmas tree stood in the middle of the room presents underneath it. Saria came into the living room and deposited a small gift that read to Uncle TK from Saria. Sora and Anna were in the kitchen with Li who become more active only opening his eyes and looking around.

"Kari hasn't come home since Monday." Anna told Sora. "She hasn't?" she questioned. "Yeah…and when she dose come it's only to wash and sleep a bit then she goes back to the hospital." She replied then looking down at Li who she was feeding a bottle too.

"Sora…did you talk to her lately?" Anna asked. "No…she was so distance even to Saria." Sora replied. "Do you know if Tai has talked to her?" she asked. "I don't know lately all Tai has been doing is working over time….for the passed week." Sora replied.

"I take it that Kevin has been giving a lot of work." Anna replied. "Yeah…he's always tired…" Sora looked at her watch "Oh gosh…he's going to be home at 6:30 so I'm going to go and make him something to eat." She said. "No it's okay there leftover from the meal we had take those to him." She handed Li to Sora and got up and went to the fridge and took out the leftovers and place them in front her. "Oh thank you."

"Your mother isn't coming this year is she?" she asked, Sora shook her head no. "Um….she said she's tied up there in England…this year….I doubt she can come." Sora replied softly. "Your father is then?" Anna asked. "Yeah he can come he off for the holidays from teaching." She said. "Okay you better go and not keep Tai waiting." Anna replied she went and got Li winter suit from the sofa. "Saria your mom's going." Anna said to her. "Okay…" she replied staring at the Christmas tree.

Sora got Li ready and put him into the carrier; she then peered into the living room. "Hey...honey what are you doing?" she asked. "I making a really long wish at the Christmas tree." Saria replied. "Oh…what is it about?" she asked. "I can't tell it won't come true." She replied. "Okay well are you going to come home and see dad? He's going to come home soon." Sora told her as she herself prepared to leave. "Okay I'll come in a second mom….I want stay here for a few more minutes." Saria replied.

"Okay honey. Bye Anna." Sora said she walked out the back door with her baby in his carrier. Anna stood out side for a while. "Sora watch the steps." She called. "Oh gosh Tai was supposed to but some salt on the steps..." she replied. She carefully walked up the steps and unlocked the door to her house and stepped in.

Anna went back in side and walked to where Saria was at the Christmas tree. "Hi darling what are you doing?" She asked. "Nothing grandma…. actually can you keep a secret from my mom and dad?" she asked. "Um depending on what it is honey." She said watching her granddaughter carefully.

"It's nothing bad." She said looking under the tree at her present for her uncle. "Oh…okay then tell me what it is that you have to keep a secret from you mom and Dad." She asked replied.

"I bought Uncle TK a Christmas gift." She replied. "I don't think it a bad Idea…I know he'll wake up soon…maybe on Christmas eve…then it will be a Christmas that everyone will be thankful for." Anna sat in silence for a minute feeling sad... "Aren't you going to say something grandma?" Saria asked as she turned around to face her grandma. "Um…no honey…nothing is…I think it's sweet you thought of him." She replied softly. Saria got up and went over to the sofa she reached down and picked up a bag and brought it to her grandma. "Oh…what 's this?" she asked.

"It's something for Davis…he's been such a good friend…and I wanted to thank him for It." She replied, Anna smiled at her granddaughter. "Oh I'm sure he will like what ever you get him…what did you get him?" she asked. "Um…a…soccer jersey." She replied lifting the jersey from the bag. "It has his favorite players name on the back too." She said. "Oh I think he'll like it a lot." Anna said to her. "But don't tell mom and dad that okay." She whispered. "Okay I won't tell them about that either." And gave her a smile. "Okay thanks you! I'm going to hide it upstairs some where." She took off up the stairs. Anna laughed.

Hospital….

Mimi and Kari sat together at TK's bedside Kari was in the closet chair to him. "Some times I wonder what he is thinking right now…like maybe our wedding day or something." Kari whispered softly she studied TK's face a little more, maybe trying to catch a single movement from him.

"I bet he is Kari." Mimi replied she too watch and was waiting for some kind of single from him that he would be okay and wake up from his slumber.

Outside TK's room….

Matt watched the too women sitting at TK's bedside….he was physically sick of hospitals…it's like all 2-3 weeks of December they have been here incident after incident, Tai and Sora's lose being the most upsetting of all.

Matt turned around an looked to flag down a doctor.

His luck struck as he saw TK's doctor coming toward him. "Oh Dr. Learly…great I need to talk to you." He replied. "Okay sure what about?" he questioned.

"Um…it there a way to be able to bring him home?" he questioned. "TK?" he questioned. "Yes…. his fiancée parents would be willing to offer him great care and nurse care twenty four hours a day." Matt replied. "Um yeah it is possible…but you got a have a accessible room that's well ventilated." He replied. "Okay great…I'll check in with the head of the house first." He said to him. The doctor nodded. "I'll be at the nurses station." He pointed and headed toward the station.

Matt dialed Kevin Kamiya's cell phone it rang a few times before he answered. "Hello."

"Kevin…hi it's Matt Ishida." He said into the phone. "Oh Matt yes what is it?" he questioned. "I know…. Kari's been having a rough time with TK…being in the coma for the a week…. and I was thinking maybe if you had a special room in your house set up so we don't have to go to the hospital I'm sure it brings bad memories from what happened to Maiko." He replied softly Matt bit his lip hoping Mr. Kamiya understood him.

"That's a good Idea….I think it would be the best solution….for my daughter and daughter-in-law. Thank you I wouldn't have thought of that…I could fix up one of the level room floors as his room and hire nurses and doctors to watch his condition." He said. "Oh…thank-you for hearing me out mister Kamiya." Matt said…. he was a little nervous speaking to Tai father about issues that concern his family. Matt closed this phone and went to the room he peeked into the window he saw Kari and Mimi sitting at TK's bedside…he carefully pushed the door opened and enter the room.

"Hey…any change?" he questioned he looked at his brother…still looked the same from the night they brought him in. Kari and Mimi shook their heads no. Matt sighed and went around to the other side of TK's bed, he put his hand on his brother's hand…that's when he felt a sudden movement, he pulled his hand back suddenly and gasped. "TK?!!" he cried he pressed a call button on the night table.

"Matt what is it?" Kari asked. "He moved." He replied Mimi smiled a bit. They all looked at TK…when the nurse came in along with the doctor. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"He moved maybe it's a sign he's coming out of it?" Matt questioned the doctor… "Well I'll be back with you all in a minute." He replied.

The doctor and nurses left…. "Maybe it's a good sign." Kari replied hopefully. "Yeah…it would be good if he dose wake up…I hope he will." Mimi whispered softly. "Yeah…. he's my little brother he can pull out of it….I know it." Matt replied they all sat down waiting for the doctor return.

The doctor arrived and came to the three. "Well his condition…is same…but what you must have felt was just a muscle spasm, those kind of things happen all the time…with coma patients, his brain activity is still the same since last week." He said softly.

He watched at their faces all fell to this news. "I'm sorry." He replied before he left the hospital room. "I got your father to fix one of the rooms in the house for TK to stay in." Matt said to Kari trying to get over the disappointment from what the doctor told him. "You did?" she questioned. "Yeah….I thought during Christmas since it is in two days…we'll bring him home with us….and I know how Sora and Tai feel about hospitals…and me…and everyone else." He replied. Mimi nodded. "Yeah…." She replied. "Thank you Matt that was a nice thing to do." Kari replied she hugged him.

6:40pm…

Tai's car pulled up into the driveway…he got out and grumpily walked to his house…and opened the door entering his house. "Sora I'm home." He called…he walked over to the desk and dropped of his suitcase and put his lunch box on the counter and then laid down on the couch closing his eyes.

Sora peered into the room looked around. "Tai?" she questioned. "Here." He raised his hand so she could see were he was. "Oh there you are." She walked around to front of the sofa. "Oooh…are you tired?" she asked he only nodded. "How about hungry?" she questioned he sat up right. "Food where?" he questioned. "It's already just for you." She said to him Tai got up and went toward a table, Sora followed him. "Where my son?" he asked looking as Sora… "He's sleeping but he'll probably wake up in….5, 4, 3, 2, 1" then a tremendous cry came from Li's room. "Right on target…" Tai said… "I'll be back." Sora got up but gotten stopped by Tai. "Wait one second I almost for got to give my honey a kiss." He replied, he pulled her down to him and kissed her for a few seconds, until he pulled away.

Sora watched him carefully lick her lips…before leaving to get Li. "Um honey…where's the food?" he questioned. "Microwave darling." Sora replied. "Okay thank you." He replied.

"Hey baby what's wrong?" Sora questioned Li. When she said that he stopped crying instantly…and started to giggle and make baby noises. "Oh…." Sora bent down and picked up Li. "Are you hungry?" she questioned, "Yeah you are aren't you." She replied. He only giggled at her.

Sora came back into the living room and sat down in the rocking chair. "Tai….I just got one question." Sora asked , as she prepared to start to breast feed Li. "Okay ask away." He replied. "That kiss just a few moments ago…it's more like an 'I want you so bad kiss' then just a 'I missed you kiss.'" She replied.

"It did?" he asked as he finished a bite of food then put another one in his mouth. "Yes it did. And don't play innocent." She said. Tai gulped down piece of food then replied, "Okay I guess I want something else tonight too." He replied. "Your in the mood then?" she asked. "Yeah if you are?" he replied. "I am." She said slyly. "Good then we got to get rid of the kids for the night." Tai said.

"Get rid of us why?" Saria questioned as she walked into the room. "Oh…um…your mom and mines night by ourselves." Tai said. Saria made a sickened glance at them. "Yeah…I'll be sure not to come here again." She replied, Sora and Tai both sighed. "You aren't mad about what happened the other time are you?" Tai questioned. "No it's just disgusting." She replied.

Saria walked back in…the watched them. "Can I ask something." She replied. "Okay sure…." Sora replied softly. "When did you both fall in love?" she questioned, this question got Tai a little up tight because what he saw at the hospital last week. "Why are you falling in love with someone?" Tai questioned, Sora and Saria both started at him weird. "What? It was just a question." He replied.

"No dad…beside I don't like any of the boys." She replied. "Honey dose that mean you don't like Davis?" Sora asked. "No Davis is just my best friend." She replied with a smile then she frowned. "Aren't you going to answer my question?" she asked.

"Well I thought that Uncle Matt explained it to you." Tai reminded her. "Oh…okay yeah now I remember." She replied, she went to her room then came back. "Okay I got all my stuff to got to grandma's and grandpa's house." She said. "Not yet…. you don't have to." Sora replied as she looked down to make sure Li was drinking and not sleeping.

"It's okay mom…I got to do something any ways bye!" she said and left. "She acts just like you sometimes." Sora said, Tai laughed. "Yeah but it's good to be me right." He said he finished the last of the dinner he had in front of him. "Oh please don't gloat." She replied.

"But seriously Sora…I'm worried." Tai said…he seemed in thought for a few seconds. "Worried? About what?" she asked. "Saria and Davis." He said…Sora raised an eyebrow at him. "Saria and Davis?" she questioned. "Yeah…well mom pointed out to me last week they were hugging and she goes and inquires about them being like us when we were younger…and it scared me." He replied.

Sora sighed…. "Tai I know what your concern is but thing about it…what are the chances of there being another us? Wait me rephrase that….about our daughter following in out footsteps…" she replied. Tai nodded convinced. "Actually you know what your right about that…there's no chance she'll follow in our footsteps…and have our history repeat with Saria…we'll be prepared for it…we will talk about it with her and tell her to be careful." He said. Sora smiled lightly. "Good thinking hon…Now I'm going to take Li over to your mothers house now…and we can get that started we have a long night a head of us." She whispered to him seductively.

December 22nd Wednesday 2016… 7:00am…

Anna held Li…. as she feed him his bottle. "There you go." Anna lifted Li and burped him, his hair had gotten dark brown and thicker..… his eyes were slowly changing colors to an amber color like his mothers. "Gosh you look so much like your mommy yes you do." Anna replied talking in a babyish tone. Sora came into the house that morning. "Hello how's my precious baby boy this fine cold winter morning?" Sora asked…she approached them both. "Fine…actually." Anna replied with a smile. Tai then entered. "Good morning mom." He kissed his mother on her cheek. "How was Li?" he asked. "He was fine as I was telling Sora." Anna said softly she looked at them. "Sorry mom." He replied.

"Is Saria still sleeping?" Sora asked her. "Yeah….I don't know if Matt told you both but he suggested that they bring TK here make a room for him specially designed for him also …to be in. he will get the care he needs here the same kind of care he gets at the hospital…and your father said that he was willing to do that to help Kari…and it will bring everyone together for Christmas eve and Christmas day." Anna said to them.

"Oh…that would be great Idea." Sora replied, she looked to Tai who looked a little pissed. "Tai? Aren't you happy?" Sora questioned her and Anna watched him. "I'm happy. What I'm not happy about is that Matt didn't tell me." He said Sora rolled her eyes. "He doesn't have to tell you that…. your getting mad over nothing." Sora replied. "Yeah it's always because of Matt." He said…Sora glared at him. "Tai you going to behave got It." She demanded firmly, Tai's eye's widened then nodded. "Yes…. okay…" he replied then sighed irritated.

"Any ways your father is having a team of construction workers fix one of the room in the house, the one that Madison picked out, that is just down the hall to be re-done to look a bit like a hospital room minus all the ugly colors…to make it look more at home…and put in a ventilating system today." She replied.

"Isn't Kari here?" Tai asked. "Nope she's at the hospital." Anna said. "That reminds me…Tai you have to go and see her." Sora said. "I know I do." He replied, he looked at his watch. "I'll talk with Kari...I know she must be feeling upset now." He said.

"That's good…I'll be home with your mother discussing family dinner on Christmas Eve and day." Sora said Anna nodded. "Yes we do need to get started on that don't we." She said. "Ah yeah….you women do that." He replied, he took the keys from his pocket and put on his shoes again. "Okay I'll talk to both of you later." He said kissing Sora then he kissed his mother on her cheek. "Bye and be careful driving okay." Sora told him. "Don't worry about me I'll make it to the hospital." He said...just then Saria came down the stair she wiped her eyes. "Good morning." Tai said.

"Dad? Mom?" she asked. "Yup" they both replied. "Oh...could I go and see uncle TK?" she asked. "Well sure I'm going now...to see aunt Kari...and uncle TK." He said.

"Okay wait for me dad!" she hurried up the stairs more awake this time.

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

8:00am...

Matt walked into the room he had gotten three cups of coffee one for himself another for Kari and another one for Mimi.

"Here you go ladies." He replied. "Thank you." They both replied as they took their own cup.

Kevin walked into the hospital room. All three turned and watch him enter the house. "Dad." Kari replied. "Good morning.... I'm sorry that I couldn't come yesterday or the other day I had business to do." He replied. "I understand that okay Mr. Kamiya." Matt replied.

"Matt...Please it's okay you can call me Kevin...your not teens....it's all right to just call me by my first name." He corrected Matt. "Okay I'll remember that next time." He said. "So how is he today any different?" he questioned Kari shook her head. "The same as yesterday and the day before and ever since last week." She replied.

"Oh....I see." He replied. "We thought that he moved but it was just an false alarm." Mimi explained to him. "Well Matt did the doctors say it was all right to move him to a different place?" he asked. Matt nodded yes. "That's what his doctor told me any ways." He replied.

"Okay well I'm going to go see the chief of staff and the owners of the hospital...and see if I can make a comprise." Kevin left the room...in search for the head office of all the doctors.

Downstairs....

"Dad.... um...can I ask you another question." Saria questioned. "Okay...what is it?" he asked. "Um well...I know you and mom said that uncle TK will wake up soon but...do you think that he could wake up for Christmas?" she asked him softly. Tai pushed the up arrow for the elevators and sighed lightly. "It's possible but people in your uncle's condition....it take's a while for them to wake up...when they're in a coma it helps the his body heal faster and then he dose if he was awake." Tai explained to her. "Oh.... so he might wake up for Christmas?" she questioned softly. "Yeah...but I don't want you do set your hopes high that he'll wake up for Christmas...because if uncle TK doesn't wake up then you'll get hurt and I don't want that to happen." He replied, the doors to the elevator opened and the stepped into the elevator.

"I won't dad...I just wish he would wake up...soon that's all." She looked down at her feet. "Hey, don't be so down...did I tell you what happened when you were a little baby?" he asked. "No...What happened?" she looked up at him... "Well long time ago this really bad guy...he faked uncle TK's death...for a month we thought that he was dead we even had a funeral and everything. But my suspicion about Jeff that's the bad guys name...was right he was buying a lot of food for only on person so one day I followed him...your mother didn't believe me a first that Jeff was up to no good but she agree and we dropped you of at grandma's house for the night....that night me and your mother both went to the place that Jeff went...we parked outside the building it was abandoned...but any ways...we heard yelling then banging in the house...we ran toward the house.

When we entered the house we saw uncle TK we couldn't believe it....but we eventually did...Jeff had throwned him down the stairs, your mother helped him as I faced off against Jeff and took him on." He said to her, Saria frowned. "You didn't get hurt?" she questioned.

"Um....I won't say that I didn't get hurt but yeah I did...and honey don't ever act on anger...I learned that the painful way." Tai told her.

The door opened to the floor where TK was they both got out. "Oh...how did you get hurt?" she questioned. "Jeff guy he had a knife on him we fought and he stabbed me right here." Tai put his right hand on his lower abdomen. "What did it feel like dad?" she questioned again. "It felt weird I can't explain it." He said to her. "Is that bad guy in Jail?" she asked again. "Yes he is hon he won't be getting out any time soon." Tai said to her thoughtfully. "Good." Saria answered.

They reached TK's room they both went in. Kari, Mimi, and Matt were there. "Hi Aunt Kari, Mimi and Uncle Matt!" she cried she hugged each of them. "Morning guys." Tai said he laughed lightly. "Tai...how are you." Matt asked the two shook hands. "Not bad...but how is TK?" he questioned.

Tai and Matt both went in the corner of the room

"Um...the same there's been no change." Matt replied. "Oh...Saria really wants him to wake up for Christmas." Tai whispered to him. "Yeah...so do I but I can't help but have this feeling that...he won't." Matt said he looked over to TK...the girls were around him.

"How's Kari been doing?" he questioned. "Fine I guess sometimes she's out of it and sometimes she just acts as she normally dose like today." Matt said to him a bit concerned. "Yeah..." Tai looked at his sister. "Sora says I should talk to her." Tai replied. "Yeah you should..." Matt said to him, he nodded. "Hey where is Sora any ways?" Matt questioned. "She's helping plan Christmas dinner on Friday and Saturday with my mother." He said. "Oh...I see." He replied. "Matt you two are invited too." Tai said to him. "We are?" he questioned. "Yeah...my mom planed one big Christmas get together.... and since you are going to be part of the family.... you and your parent's and Mimi's parent's are welcome." He said.

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

11:00am...

"Okay Anna I'm going to check my mail I'll be right back." Sora said to her and put on her coat and shoes and walked to the front door and got her and mail and her mom in laws mail as well, Sora flipped through them.... "Mostly Christmas cards...and bills..." she replied.

She came back where her mother in law was; she was writing down something when Sora came back she sat down in the chair. "Okay these 3 are for you and theses 3 are mine." Sora replied as she handed Anna the cards. "Okay." Sora opened the first one that was address to her and Tai; she smiled as she read the inside. "That's sweet this one was from Amy I haven't seen her in....years." she replied.

"Sora look at this it's from Lori." Anna handed her it. "Oh yeah...I remember...she's the one I saw at me and Tai's wedding the wedding that had that curly hair. Right." She asked Anna nodded. "Yeah that's her..." she replied. Sora took the second card it was weird envelope she opened it... 'Nice card.' She thought until she read the inside cover.

Sora gasped she dropped the letter onto the ground... "Oh god." She replied she put her hand over her forehead. "Sora...what's wrong...what happened?" Anna asked concerned she got up and sat next to her. Sora pointed at the card, Anna picked it up and opened it.

MERRY CHRITSMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

I hope you have a better one then mine....I know you probably are although I do wish I could spend the night with you Sora....your such a lovely woman now...if I weren't in here I would have done away with Tai....and you little kid you have with him....but let's not talk about this....give me visit at the jail some time baby.

Signed sincerely Jeff.

Anna tore up the card and threw it into the garbage she then hugged Sora. "Shh...it's okay." Anna hushed her Sora began to cry. "If Tai saw that he'll go there and kill him himself." Sora whispered she sniffed, she got up and took her coat from the table. "Could I use your car?" she asked. "Yes, but were are you going?" Anna asked.

"I'm going to get Mimi's mail....make sure that bastard didn't send them one too." Sora took the car keys off the key rack and went to Anna's car...and got in.

Anna picked up the piece of the card up she then went into the fireplace where she threw them in there and the card turned into ash with in seconds.

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

"Kari.... I know that this whole thing with TK is hurting you...but...you have to come home...you can't stay at his side twenty four hours a day...it's almost Christmas." Tai replied.

"I can't Tai I love him.... he's a part of me.... what if he wakes up when I'm not there.... he'll think I left him." She replied she looked about ready to cry. 'Damnit Tai think before you say something' he cursed himself. "I'm sorry Kari...It's just that I'm your brother and I'm worried about you...everyone worried about you." He replied softly.

"I know they are...but they don't have to be worried I'm okay." She replied softly, she hugged him to reassure him. "I'm sure Tai...after dad gets the a okay so that TK can stay are our house with nurse care twenty four hours a day I'll be at with my family." She replied softly. "Okay then I don't have to worry that your not taking care of yourself...right." Tai asked her.

"No you don't have to worry Tai I am taking care of myself." Kari replied she smiled at him and hugged again.

...............

Matt watched his brother chest raise and fall Mimi watched him sadly. "Matt?" she asked softly she walked toward him, he racked his hands through his hair. "I hope this helps everyone a lot." He replied. "It should Matt....I think it would do TK great to be at the Kamiya's then here on Christmas...even though he doesn't know where he is..." she said trailing off. "I hope this helps him come out of this coma..." he replied.

"Because after all the things that he's gone through to the kidnapping...and that fight with Kari. He needs that extra boost to know that we are with him and were still love and that Kari's sorry for what she said to him...and I just don't want to lose him..." His voice cracked at that point. "He's the one...I've been closest too....in my child hood and it hurt a lot when my parents divorced and we were separated...." Matt stopped, Mimi gripped his shoulders...he had perfect control of his emotion for the week but now it was starting to come out. "I love him Meems...I don't want to lose him." He cried he hugged Mimi. "I know how much he means too you Matt...and no ones going to give up especially him...he won't give up...I bet he is fighting his way to regain consciousness right now." Mimi said to him in a whisper.

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

Sora quickly went into Mimi's and Matt's mail box...she took out they're mail and sure enough there was the same weird envelope...she opened it up.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Hey Meems...I hope you don't mind me calling you that...what you say me and you get something going on....I could easily get rid of your sissy husband...but that's not what I'm talking about you should come down to the jail and visit me.

Love Jeff

Sora cringed disgustedly. "No one wants a slime like you." Sora said out loud, she shoved the letter in her coat pocket and took the rest of Mimi and Matt's mail back to the car.

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

Tai and Kari came out from the balcony...Saria was sitting in an chair, she looked over and called her dad to come her. "What is it Saria?" he asked.

"Um.... do you think I could go and drop something off for Davis today?" she asked. "Um sure..." he replied.

"Okay" He turned to Kari. "Well I'm going to go now...see how things are going at mom's and I'm just going to stop by Davis's house...and I will be back later with Sora and maybe by to night TK will be able to be transport to the house." Tai said to her, Kari nodded then went to TK hospital room.... she watched from the window seeing Matt and Mimi in there...she knocked on the door softly, it caught Mimi's attention she looked up and saw Kari she motioned for her to come in.

Kari slowly turned the knob and entered the room closing the door quietly behind her. "Matt...how are you?" Kari questioned she could feel he was upset she could sense it. "Okay." He replied he gotten more in control of his feelings when she entered. Kari just sighed. "Matt...You don't have to act macho around me...or anyone else for that matter but...it won't make you seem any less man if you cry.... you need to let it out...your too up tight." Kari said to him.

"Who said I was." Matt said turning around to face her. "Matt....." Mimi warned him wearily. "What?" he questioned. "She's right you know.... you can't keep things bottle up inside.... that's what you did when you were ten and then it didn't help much either cause you would always opposed Tai's decision even though you elected him as leader." Mimi replied.

Matt's facial features soften lightly; silent tears ran down his cheeks, Mimi hugged him. Kari watched them; she looked over to TK's comatose body, tears rolled down her face.

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

Sora came into the house once again...she walked past Anna "Sora what's wrong?" she asked and followed her into the living. Sora pulled a letter from her coat and chucked it into the fire...she watched it burn. "Was that..." she trailed off a bit.

Sora nodded "It was from him.... addressed to Matt and Mimi.... Anna you got to promise me don't say anything about this to Tai." She asked her. "Okay honey but are you sure your okay with this? He contact you...." Sora interrupted her. "No mom...I can't don't tell Tai...he doesn't need this he other things to worry about then this...and on another note when ever that slime ball is even near Tai...Tai always gets hurt." She replied. "And I don't want that any more it's the holidays Christmas is in 3 days not even and I want it to be happy time." Sora argued Anna nodded understanding her daughter in laws wishes.

"Okay but Sora...you do understand that you have to tell Tai about this." Anna said to her. "I know I know.... but not now...mom...." she replied softly.

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

Tai waited out side of the Davis's house; while he was...he was trying to see what Saria was doing at the front door, with that bag she had in her hand. He tried to move peek though the window in the backseat but he just gotten angry and growled.

"Okay that's fine...I'll seat here and wait...." he replied tapping his foot patiently on the floor.

Ding.... dong...

Davis ran to the door and opened it. "Saria?" he questioned softly. "Yeah...I just thought I get you a present....for Christmas so here." She handed him her gift, which was wrapped in wrapping paper that was in a brown shopping bag. "Well thank you..." he replied slowly. "Um...could you open it now?" she asked.

"Um...Saria I can't.... I feel bad cause I didn't get you anything." He replied. "It's okay really.... it's more of a thank you present." She said. "Oh...stupid of me come inside." He replied Saria went inside.

"Hello Saria." Yolie said to her as she entered. "Hi! I just came to drop something off." she said to her. "Okay sweetie." Yolie replied and walked into the kitchen.

"Any ways...open it please." She begged. "Saria...I still really think you shouldn't have done this." He said she frowned. "Just opened it and stop complaining." She replied to him. "Okay..." he trailed off a bit... and proceeded to opened the present...Saria watched with anticipation as he ripped the paper away from the package.

"Oh my gosh.... Saria!" he cried out in shock. "You don't like it?" she questioned sounding a bit hurt. "No...I like it but.....oh you shouldn't have...you paid to much for this I can't take it." He replied she frowned a bit.

"No take it...It's my gift for you." She said. "But...Saria you paid to much for it.... I know this is my favorite players jersey but... I don't want you to spend that kind of money on me." He said.

"Okay.... I understand." She turned around and started to pretend to cry... "I just wanted to give you something that you'll like." She replied.

Davis's watched her feeling worse then he did before... "I'm sorry.... don't cry.... thank you for the gift." He said to her. Saria turned around she had a big smile on her face. "I knew you would like it.... okay I got to go...my dad's waiting for me out side." She said.

"Okay well thank you for the present." He said to her. "Don't worry about getting me anything either." She said to him. "Okay Saria." He replied.

They walked back to the front door Saria got on her winter boots and coat on... "Okay well bye.... have Merry Christmas...Saria." Davis said... "You too Davis...." she said to him...she opened the door and smiled waving then left. Davis waved back to her. As she walked to were her dad's car she turned around and walked backwards and waved back to him again."See you maybe after Christmas I'll call you!" she said to him he smiled.

Saria came back to the car and got in. "So you did what you have to do?" Tai asked her. "Yup lets' go home I want to see Mom." She said to him. "Okay then." Tai put the car into drive and started toward they're house.

"Your father said he was able to convince the board at the hospital to let them take TK to our house and keep him here just like a rehabilitation center.... he also said that he got two doctors.... and 5 nurse to come her and keep cheeks on TK while he is here." She said to the two.

"That's great news." Sora said to her. "How long has he been trying to convince them for?" he asked. "The whole day..." his mother replied. "Well it will make Christmas more enjoyable at least." Tai said.

Sora nodded...she looked to the fireplace.... remember what she threw in there this afternoon. "Yes...and to make things even better.... we are all going have Christmas dinner outside." She replied.

Tai raised an eyebrow... "Outside?" he questioned. "Yup me and your mom both thought that since we don't have an room big enough..." Tai interpreted her. "What about the dinning room? It's big enough.... for 20 or so people." He replied.

"Tai.... trust us on this..." Anna said...he sighed. "Okay I do...it's just that it's sound really cold and I don't want to eat in the cold." He said to her. "I understand honey...." Sora said to him softly, rubbing his shoulders. "I hate winter." He replied.

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

Matt was sitting next to TK's bed talking to him.... Mimi and Kari were outside his hospital room they watch silently from the window.

"It's finally getting to him." She replied...Kari nodded. "Yeah...I can tell Mimi." She said to her the two women turned to each other. "Are you okay Mimi?" she asked.

"Um...yeah...it's just I feel so guilty because of what I put him through.... I mean I acted like a child...hid the fact I was pregnant because I was afraid of his reaction then I end up losing the baby...and now this...I just feel so responsible..." she replied softly.

"Oh Mimi it's not your fault if anyone's to blame it should be me." She said softly. "Kari...." she as about to say but Kari stopped her. "Seriously you don't have to be at blame." Kari told her. "And neither do you." Mimi said to her...she smiled and they both laughed a bit.

"I was thinking that I owe Matt one night to our sleeves." Mimi said to her. "Yeah...you both need it.... and you can tell Matt now to worry about TK cause I'll keep him company...you both need that night alone." Kari said to her, Mimi looked around the hospital and spotted a nurse and an Idea came to her mind suddenly. "Kari.... I'll be back...you tell Matt I've gone to the store to get some supplies for an new um.... outfit would you say..." she said to her, with a wink.

"Mimi....are you talking about Lingerie?" she questioned. "Maybe...I can't say.... anyways I've got to get to work bye..." Mimi hurried down the hall toward the parking lot.

Kari smiled 'Mimi's weird some times.' She though...she stared off into spaced until some one tapped her on her shoulder. "Huh?...Matt...your done." She asked. "Yeah...You can go in and talk to him if you like." He said to her. "Okay thank you." She said turning around and stared toward TK room. "Um Kari's where's Mimi?" Matt questioned...

"She went out to the store to get a few items.... she'll be back." Kari said to him. "Oh...well Okay I'll wait here." He said to her.

The telephone rang.... "I'll get it!" Davis called through the house...on the third ring he picked it up. "Hello...Davis speaking." He replied into the phone. "Davis. Jr...how are you...remember me?" the voice asked. "Oh yeah.... your uncle Davis...I haven't seen you in a long time my dad keeps telling me about you." He said to him.

"He dose...that's cool...so where is you dad?" Davis questioned him... "Um he's...oh there he is...Dad phone for you." Davis cried

Ken picked up the phone...then Davis. jr hung up. "Hello." He said. "Hey Ken what's up you won't believe what's happening her." He said to him. "What?" Ken asked.

"I'm so excited...yesterday...I just found out that she's pregnant." He said sounding eythiastic...Ken was silent. 'Oh this is going to be horrible mess....' he thought. "Ken? Man are you there are you ignoring me?" he questioned. "I'm sorry Davis...I'm just shocked that's all." He said to him truthly somewhat. Yolie came into the room and watch Ken talk on the phone.

He turned to her he hand a look of trouble on his face. "What's wrong?" she mouthed. "Davis, do you want to talk to Yolie?" Ken asked him... "Sure...I'll tell her the good news." He said.

"Hey Davis long time no talk...how are you and thinks up there." She asked. "Great actually.... I have to tell you this awesome news....Kara she's pregnant." He replied Yolie nearly dropped the phone on the floor but shook her head. "That's great Davis." She said to him...Davis sighing slightly irritated...

"What's wrong with you? And Ken for that matter your acting like you don't care." He replied. "We do care we do..." Yolie said to him. "Then what's the problem?" he questioned. "There is no problem Davis." Yolie said to him. "Your all confusing what's wrong." He shouted this time.

Ken to the phone from Yolie's hand "Nothing is wrong Davis...were happy really happy." Ken replied. "Oh...sorry for yelling at you then." He replied.

"That's okay I understand why you were angry a bit...but we are really happy for you and Kara..." Ken said to him. "Okay thanks guys...anyways I've got to go.... Kara's here bye." He said to him. "Okay see talk to you later Davis." Ken said he hung the phone up...then looked to Yolie..

"How can we tell him now?" she asked. "There's no choice we have to tell him it's just a matter of time before he finds out." He said to her.

Davis's room upstairs...

He coughed... and started to read Harry Potter again. He coughed again. Sighing he put down the book and went down stairs to get a drink of water.

"Mom I think I'm getting a cold." He said...as he poured himself a glass of water. "Do you have a head ache?" she questioned him. "No...but I'm coughing a lot now...ever since this morning...it's sort of off and on." He said to her. "Oh well I'm sure it will just pass honey." She said to him. "Okay bye night dad...mom." he said and ran back up stairs to his room.

..................

"So I should still tell Davis....the truth...about his father then after new years?" Yolie asked Ken...he nodded. "It was wrong in the first place to hid this from him and say I was the father...."

Flash back.....

2006........

"Yolie look at me and tell me that's I'm not the father." Davis cried.... Ken heard everything and came running to her defense. "Davis...your not...don't worry about it...I'm the father." He said to him...Davis looked back and forth from the two... "I'm sorry I just have to know...this could ruin my soccer career." He said to her...Yolie didn't say anything.

End of Flashback....

"You shouldn't have said that...." she told him softly... "But I did didn't I and look now.... the mess I created this is my fault not yours." Ken told her...she nodded. "Davis is going to be so angry...." she replied. "I know.... and that's why I'll be there for you all the steps of the way." Ken told her.
