The Next Morning….7:00am

The birds sung brightly outside Tai was sleeping and had the blankets all wrapped around him…the curtains were still drawn shut, Sora was in the washroom shaving her legs. Then she heard snoring and sighed. 'oh gosh my birth control pill.' She thought to herself…she stood up putting the razor down on the tubs rim and went to the mirror cabinet…she searched with her eye and spotted them.

Tai rolled over and stopped really close to falling over the side… "AH!" Sora cried when she did Tai fell off the bed again. "Oh no…no…what happened? These aren't my pills!" she cried.

Tai groaned "Sora…what's wrong?" he asked he slowly pushed himself up. Blankets were still on the ground the bed was bare except the pillows he slowly walked to the washroom when Sora nearly knocked him down. "Tai these aren't mine." She replied she showed him the pills in there case. "Sora…slow down." He replied softly.

"These aren't mine…I mean they look like pezz candy…was someone trying to get me pregnant again." She cried she looked at him cautiously. "You weren't going to…" she replied and trailed off. "No Sora…I'm not that eager for more kids….just yet…I didn't do that." He replied.

"Good…" she stopped and smacked the case on her open plum then looked to the door. "I'm going to find you did this." She replied she started to go to the door.

"Um…honey you might want to change remember Davis is here and …never mind…you should just put a robe on." He replied going to the bathroom. "Thank you my romantic husband that snores." She replied then picked up a robe from the back of the door and wrapped it around herself.

Sora stopped; as she was about to exit the bedroom she had turned around…when she did Tai was in the washroom already, the shower turned on.

Sora sighed walked back into the washroom and pulled the curtains back, Tai jumped. "Sora close the shower curtain please…it's cold you know what happens when it gets cold." He whined. "Never mind that…what if it was the thing that made…noise last night." She whispered. "Huh?" he questioned her as the shower was still running.

"Some one stole my pills…and they replaced them…with pezz candy." She talked over the rushing water from the shower.

"Okay, why would they steal your birth control pills and replace them with candy?" he asked a little confused. "Because someone wants me out of the way." She whispered. Tai frowned. "Okay I love you and every sweet heart but let me take my shower and then you rant to me all you want after okay?" he replied. "Okay…." She trailed off and looked at him. "Hey….you know. You haven't seen Li this morning go see him." He replied, Sora nodded. "Oh my baby of course." And rushed out of the bathroom…Tai closed the shower curtain.

"Why dose she sound so familiar when she dose that?" he questioned himself…then shook his head, he frowned…. "Man we spent to much time together…" he trailed off.

Ishida home…7:30am…

Mimi opened her eyes 'a new day' she thought and smiled happily remembering last night that Matt was so happy about her being pregnant. She reached over to his side of the bed but felt nothing…in a panic she looked over. "Where did he go?" she thought out loud concern.

"Not to worry…Mrs.Ishida…I made you breakfast in bed." He replied appearing in the doorway of their bedroom. Matt came in with the tray in hand and placed it on the night table for a second and took out the small tripod and put in front of Mimi then placed the tray on top of the tripod.

"Oh…you didn't have too…" she replied trailing off as she looked at the food in front of her. "Now I expect you to eat all the food…and I hope you don't throw up or something." He replied. "I'm not going to throw up Matt." She looked at the tray then looked up at Matt.

"Your not going to join me?" she asked "Um…that's not necessary. I had my breakfast this morning…right now it's all about you." He smiled sitting down on the bed.

"I love you." She replied. "I love you too." Matt said and moved over to her and gave her gentle kiss on her lips.

Kamiya Kitchen…7:34am….

Saria and Davis were at the kitchen table they were eating they're breakfast no one was up except for them. "Well did you tell your parents that you got detention today?" Davis asked he watched her across the table. "No…and I don't intend to tell them about yesterday at all" She replied the put a spoonful of cereal in her mouth.

"Saria didn't the school phone home afterwards?" he asked. "Yeah…but I made sure they didn't find out..." she whispered, to him.

He looked at her…and frowned. "Saria…" he whispered.

"Davis if they found out you would have to go back home and face what's going on at home…and you don't want that do you." She reminded him matter of fact. "Okay your right…" he glanced at her.

They both heard some one coming down stairs…then looked to see it was Saria's mom coming down with Li…she walked into the kitchen rocking him a bit. "Saria did you go into our washroom?" Sora questioned her daughter as she placed a bottle in the microwave for about fifty seconds.

"Why would I want to go to yours and dad's bathroom?" she asked

"Okay never mind…I'm going to feed Li in the living room okay." She told them, and took the bottle out and took it with her into the living room.

The two kids finished there breakfast and put they're plates in the sink. "Mom we are going now!" Saria called to her. "Yup…have a good day at school you two." She replied…then hearing the door shut close behind then she sighed.

Ichijouji's house….

Yolie looked through the sport section of the newspaper, she couldn't help but look…she hoped to god that Davis was playing good and that the news of him begin Davis's father didn't affect him that much that it would make him career come to a dead halt.

She looked through the standings of JNSL(Japan National Soccer League) his team was fifth overall so far…two wins, four losses and zero ties. She looked at his standings in points…he didn't have any they were all zeros. It made Yolie feel so responsible. "Ken…Davis isn't doing well he hasn't had a point or a goal…" she whispered looking at the paper; Ken came into the kitchen the looked over her shoulder.

"He's off to a slow start that's all." He replied then walked to the coffee pot and poured himself a cup. "It's more then That…it's what we did to him, I should have told him a long time ago…I should have told him about me being pregnant…it was wrong in the first place to hide the truth." She cried.

"Yolie…there's nothing that could have been done to avoid this it would have came out…secrets always have a strange way to come back and haunting you…it's better he knew." He replied.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* School bus…

Davis coughed a bit. "You okay?" Saria questioned him. "I'm fine…it's just a cough." He answered then coughed again.

Saria eyed him worried. "Are you sure your okay?" she asked, he simply smiled at her "Of courses I'm fine it's just a cold." He replied then coughed once more. "Okay if you say so." She responded

Tokyo, Japan…

Davis's home

Davis moaned as he got up from this bed his head pounded like crazy…. "What a hang over." He whispered then lying back down onto the bed he held his head.

No matter what he did he can't believe what his coach told him…benched…for a few games already because he hadn't played for a while.

FLASHBACK

"Coach let me play…I'll show you I can play a better game." He answered to him. "Davis what ever it is that is bothering you, I can't let you play yet…your going to mess up like that last time." His coach told him.

"I promised I won't…I'm getting criticized by the press about not playing anymore I got to play you got to let me play." He begged, his coach shook his head. "Not yet let a rookie try out…first then I'll let you back into the game." He replied.

END OF FLASHBACK

Davis pulled himself off the bed and walked into his kitchen area making himself some coffee…he then saw the empty bottle of whiskey that was on the counter…he took it and chucked into the garbage bin.

"Damn…damn…damn!" he cried out angry, he pounded his fist on the counter, he then closing his eyes.

The phone ringed he quickly grabbed it off the receiver "Hello Kara." He cried into the phone. "it's only me Davis." Yolie replied.

He groaned and coldly replied, "What do you want?"

"I noticed that you were doing bad…and I thought I phone to see if you were all right…" she trailed off. "You felt you had to phone to see if I was okay?…how nice of you but I don't really need to tell you." He replied.

"Davis listen I'm sorry…about the what we did and I--." He interrupted her. "No you apologized once already...okay…I don't want to hear it any more just don't phone me again!." He cried and slammed the receiver onto the cradle.

Yolie lips trembled as she put the receiver down… 'he dose hate me for it' she cried a bit. "I never meant to hurt him…I thought I was doing good…" she suddenly felt like crying…she put her arms on the table putting her head down…and began to cry silently.

10:30am hotel room…

Clothing from last night lay in their original place where they had been dropped that night…Kari was first to stir from her slumber she tiredly opened her eyes, TK was still asleep he had his back facing her and was snoring a bit. 'Snoring? I didn't know that.' She thought.

She turned over so she was laying on her back looking up at the ceiling… 'Last night was so amazing!' she thought smile on her face, but then she frowned TK hadn't waken up yet.

'Why is he still sleeping?' she thought…then grinned evilly and moved over to him slowly then stopped she took her index finger and traced his back softly in an zig zag motion.

TK turned over surprising her "Ha got you" he whispered. "What you knew I was awake?" she question. "Yeah…of course." He replied he kissed her on her lips; Kari then brought her one arm around his necking pulling toward her and deepening their kiss.

She then pulled him on top of her; they kissed for a while longer for they had to come up for air. "Kari wait…" he replied got off of her then looking at her seriously. "You have work…if you don't show up your dad will get mad then he'll kill me if he found out about last night…and the date." He replied.

"I don't have to work today…" she replied. "Are you sure?" he asked she nodded "I can get out of what ever dad throws at me…besides I'm not the only photographer." She answered then kissed him.

They pulled away for a minute then looking at each other. "You know I'm kind of hungry…" TK watched her smiled. "So am I but not the kind of hungry your taking about." She gave him a wicked smile. "Oh…really" he answered also smiling. "Who made you think I was talking about food?" he asked.

They laughed and began to kiss, really passionate.

Davis stopped playing soccer. "Um Guys…I'm going to sit out for a while." He replied he went over to the sidelines and sat down on the picnic table, Saria stopped playing also and walked over to the picnic table he was sitting on. "Are you okay?" she asked sitting next to him.

"Um yeah…I think. I've had this cold for a long time…now…. and I think it's getting worse." He told her, Saria sighed, "Well maybe it's the flu." She asked him. "You see-eh I think I'm going to throw up." He replied he put his head down. "Davis! Not here." She cried.

She looked for one of the teachers that were on year duty. "Just hold on I'll find someone." She replied started up, but he already felt like he was going be sick…then threw up.

Saria turned "Davis just hold on." She replied and then took off. Nurses office…

"Um…I don't know…I just had this cold for a long time…then I just felt sick to my stomach after the game of soccer." He answered.

"I think maybe we should call you parents." The nurse was going to get up and leave but Davis stopped her "Wait! Don't phone them…please…." He begged

"But I have to. It's a rule." The nurse told him. "Call, Saria's parents…my parent's aren't in town." He lied.

"Oh…then I'll call them…you have to go home." The nurse told him. "Why?…I don't feel that sick." He complained.

"It's better if you went home and got your rest." The nurse said to him and left…Saria then came into his temporary room.

"What did she say?" she asked him. "I have to go home…and rest." He responded, "She was going to call my parents but I told them to call yours, I hope that's okay with them." He sat up now. "Sure it would…my mom thinks your part of the family." She smiled warmly.

He laughed "She dose?" he questioned. "Yeah…of course, maybe she's home by herself I don't know what time she goes to work at…or better yet my grandma is there…she doesn't have to do any work today." She replied.

"Oh gosh this will be really interesting tonight…" Mimi thought smiling. "hm…I wonder if it's a girl or a boy?" she thought, and started to go down the stairs to the furnish basement.

"Great I hope it isn't my editor." He replied then opened it "Hello Takeru." He answered.

Kari watched him "Mimi….I …..wait!…ohhh…man she didn't even let me protest." TK complained. "What dose she want you to do?" Kari questioned him.

"Well from what I understood, something about moving sofa's and a party." He told her he pressed the voice mail button and it started to beep like crazy he stopped it then went into his voice mail and listened to the messages. His face paled slightly, then he closed the phone.

Sora was feeding Li, she didn't notice the cleaner that she had bumped into yesterday was watching her and following her…when her secretary wasn't at the desk.

He hid in a corner where a bushy plant was located, as he heard footsteps coming from the hallway.

It was Tai and Sora's secretary. "Thank you, I'm going in to see my son and wife." Tai replied he walked into her office and closed the door.

The secretary sat at the desk resuming paper work.

Inside Sora's office…

"Ready to go home baby." Tai asked Sora. "Yup could you feed Li for a while I just got to finish up some work." She replied. "No problem." Sora handed Tai Li and the bottle, Tai rocked him a bit and feed him.

"Um…Davis got sick at school today so my mother went to pick him up." Sora replied as she sat looking at the computer screen. "He did? Did she tell you why he was sick?" Tai asked. "Um no she just said that he threw up in the school yard and that he has a fever too." Sora mentioned still concentrating on her work in front of her.

"Maybe we should phone Yolie and let her know." Tai told her as he rocked Li in his hands. "Well, he probably fighting that cold still…it must be just some complications of the cold." She replied.

"Sora…Saria got the flu once and she had those symptoms, maybe we should phone his parents." Tai said to her with seriousness. "We should wait if he gets better... Okay." Sora said. Tai nodded "I have to see how he is first then I'll tell you if we should phone his parents or not." She explained.

"Um…No TK bad place…move it over so that it looked like one of those square brackets on the computer key and make sure you push the sofas against the wall." Mimi directed she was standing in the room and watched as TK moved the sofas the way she wanted them to be moved. "Done?" he asked. "Nope…I want you to move that heavy table over in the middle of those sofas…so everyone can get up and go to get treats." Mimi replied, TK groaned.

He pulled the table over half way there he stopped. "I…. need….a….break.." he whispered tiredly. "It's not that heavy Matt carried it over there no problem." Mimi replied. "Well I'm not Matt!" he shouted a bit angry. "TK…just move it." Mimi glared at him, he then hurried and pulled the table where she requested it be.

Kari then came down the stairs and stood beside Mimi. "So…what's this party about?" she asked. "Oh you'll see tonight." She replied not daring to say anything else that might give it away the secret.

"Tonight?" TK questioned. "Yeah the party." She replied looking at her brother in law. "Oh…okay…But why weren't we informed of this event?" he asked her.

"Because Sora said she would tell you guys…. she said something about you two have a special night…any who your coming right?" she asked starting to leave the basement.

"Yeah of course we are Meems." Kari replied she smiled at TK.

"Oh hey there Davis how are you feeling?" Sora questioned as she finally got the chance to go and see him. "Okay thank you Mrs. Kamiya." He answered. "That's good get your rest okay…have you been feeling any worse then you have been today?" she asked.

He thought for a moment, "Um no…not really….I was just feeling a bit headachy…that's all." He answered. "Well are you still up to come with us to a party tonight?" she asked. "Um sure…It's just a headache." He replied. "Okay then…get ready because we are leaving at seven o'clock all right." She replied and left his room as she did Saria came in.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Ishida house 7:00pm

Everyone was there they were all chatting a way about certain things…Sora finally found Kari. "Kari…come with me." She said and dragged her upstairs.

Tai and Matt where talking each having a beer "Where my niece she's around her isn't she?" Matt questioned Tai. "Uh…yeah with Davis." He answered he took a zip of beer. "Oh no your going into that state again Tai…snap out of it." He replied. "What state?" he asked.

"The one where you're thinking of something that shouldn't be right or not happening that one." Matt said to him Tai laughed at him and got up to leave. "What did I say?" Matt asked getting up to follow him, as Tai was running from Matt, Saria and Davis where seated on the couch talking.

"Okay so you're up for the presentation tomorrow right?" Saria asked. "Because if not, Mina and Me can mange on our own." Davis shook his head "No I'll be fine for tomorrow." He replied. "Okay good." She smiled. "Oh…I have to show you something come on." She stood up and pulled him up the stairs by the hand.

Upstairs in the living room….

"So how did your date go?" Sora asked. "What date?" Kari asked blushing madly. "Oh…Kari...come on it's not like I didn't know about it." Sora replied.

Blushing Kari turned away from her. "It's not something I'd like to discuss with my sister." She answered. "Okay fine…I was just joking with you." she answered with a smile. "Kind of hard to tell." Kari answered.

"Hey there watch who your talking to." Sora responded, she pondered for a moment… "But it was a romantic night right?" Sora asked. "Yeah up till we heard that song ….Lets make a night to remember…I sure can remember it now.." Kari replied staring of into her own world.

"Oh I want to hear it." Sora said then going off into her own world as well. She then snapped out of it. "Ok well we should go and join the party…downstairs again." Sora said to her as she started out of the room. "Good Idea." Kari replied.

"Okay seriously…I want to talk to you about what ever is bothering you." Matt told him, Tai downed the rest of the beer putting the bottle on the kitchen table. "You aren't going to drop it aren't you." He asked. "No...man were buddies right?" Matt asked. "Yeah I guess…and you should know this too." Tai said he went into the fridge and grabbed another beer.

"Tai what is it?" Matt questioned, opening the beer he took a sip of it "Um…Jeff…he's out." Tai answered then took another sip of his third beer of the night. "The Fucking bastards out! When was this!" Matt shouted at him. "a few weeks ago…the lawyer thought it wasn't important to contact us and tell us that he was out." Tai replied. Matt snatched the beer from him. "HEY!" Tai shouted.

"That's enough…every time you have a problem and don't know how to deal with it you drink and I think that two beers are enough for you." Matt told him matter of fact.

"Idiot." Tai whispered and headed down stairs again. Matt sighed and followed him. Living room…

"Okay that's me so long ago…when was it about when I was three or four." Saria pointed out on the long picture of the wedding Party for Matt and Mimi's wedding. "Holly…long time ago." He replied. "Yeah…my aunt made me the dress too."

"Uh oh…we should head down stairs soon then." Saria replied. "Okay." He replied the two kid headed down stairs. Basement…. 8:00pm

"Okay everyone attention!" Mimi said she stood up on a chair…the room quieted now giving full attention to her. "Me and Matt….have an announcement." She replied, Matt slowly made his way to where she was and standing up on the chair next to her. "Okay…we do and it's the reason for the party." Matt said.

Sora looked on in anticipation, knowing full well what the announcement is about. Tai hugged his wife from behind he rested his head on her shoulder as he waited for the announcement to be told out loud.

The rest of the family looked on waiting for them to start. TK and Kari especially since…they didn't have a clue what was going on lately…being to caught up with themselves too much.

"Okay honey do you want to say it?" Mimi asked him, he looked to the family members then to her. "Sure…" he responded smiling. "Okay well now I guess all I have to say is…" "I'm pregnant!" Mimi cried out before Matt could finish.

Everyone one clapped and all went up to the married couple to congratulate them.

Unaware to the celebration inside there was some one watching them…. watching Sora particularly, closely and carefully. A smile appeared on his features…
