Disclaimer: *sigh* Do I really have to do this again? Everybody KNOWS who Digimon belongs to…you’ve read the same stupid disclaimer in EVERY SINGLE fanfic that you’ve read already. Honestly, do you need to be reminded that Digimon belongs to someone else? ‘Cause if you do, I think you should go to the website and just be amazed when you find out again that it belongs to someone else. Wow…I feel refreshed…

Just…don’t sue me okay?

Enough of that…now on to the fic!

“Life and Death” Part 2

By: Ness

I couldn’t believe what I had just heard.

“E…Excuse me?” I managed to say, stuttering.

“You’re pregnant”

“Pregnant…” I breathed, walking back into Yamato.

“Congratulations,” he said, walking away.

I froze. I couldn’t believe it! I was pregnant…me! I couldn’t move. When I realized who the father of my child was, I burst into tears.

“Sora…Sora are you okay?”

“Oh god…” I managed to say.

“Don’t worry…there’s nothing to be ashamed of…” I turned to face him.

“Oh no Yamato…I’m not ashamed…It’s just…It’s just…” I buried my face into his chest and sobbed.

“He’d be so happy…” I said, my voice muffled by his shirt. I looked up at him.

“Will you come with me to see him?”

“Of course”

He held my hand. We walked to the door. I was afraid of what I would see. I let Yamato’s hand go and opened the door. I gasped in horror when I saw all of the tubes and machines attached to him. My hand went to my mouth to prevent myself from screaming. Tears began to roll down my cheeks. Yamato held my hand again. “Are you going to be okay?” he asked me, gently.

“I…I…I can’t…” I began. I ran away from the room. The others saw me run away. They all stood up and watched me run.

When I came back, I decided to see him.

“Will you guys come with me?” I asked, looking at the floor.

“Sure Sora. We all want to see him too” said Jyou.

I smiled a bit. “Arigato”

Mimi held my hand. “We’ll all go…together,” she said.

We walked towards the door. I took a deep breath and opened it. We walked inside. Everyone was silent. The beeping of the heart monitor was heard by all. The ventilator made weird sucking noises. Tears rolled down my cheeks. “Is anyone going to say something to him?” I asked, quietly.

Jyou stepped forward. “Taichi-san…arigato for everything. Thanks for making me braver!” he said with a smile.

Takeru went next. “Hey Taichi-san…Thanks for always saving my @$$ in Digiworld. You’re a great leader…”

Koushiro went after him. “Taichi-san thanks for being a prodigious leader and friend. I don’t think I’ll ever forget you”

Mimi stepped forward. “Taichi-san thanks for caring about me. You’re the nicest guy I know”

Yamato went to Taichi’s side. “Taichi-san…I just want you to know, you’re the greatest friend I ever had and I know we fought and I said mean things to you…I just hope you know I never meant any of it. And I’m sorry for calling you names and punching you that day…well, you know what I’m talking about…arigato for saving Takeru so many times in the Digiworld…I appreciate you very much…” He had tears rolling down his face. “One more thing…If you don’t make it…I plan on keeping that promise I made to you that day…demo…please don’t make me have to keep it…”

Finally it was my turn. I went to his side. I looked at his face, all beat up…tubes going into his nose…the paleness of his skin…I couldn’t help but let the tears roll down my cheeks. I touched his cheeks that would normally blush at my touch…I held his hand…which would normally grasp mine… I finally got the strength to say something. “Taichi-chan…don’t go, we all need you. I need you…because…we’re going to get married and I need you because…because…because…” I glanced at my friends. This would come as a shock for all of them…especially Mimi… “…Because I’m pregnant…” I smiled with tears in my eyes. “Can you believe it? We’re gonna have a baby…” I began to cry harder. I couldn’t stop myself as I realized the truth of what was going to happen. I couldn’t tell myself anymore that everything was going to be okay…cause it wasn’t going to be… “Demo…you’re not going to be there when our child is born…” I said sobbing. I paused and wiped the tears from my eyes. “I have to think positive, ne? Gomen, I just can’t keep telling myself that everything is okay and nothing bad is going to happen cause I’m in a little bubble protected from the world. But that’s not true...because here I am, and the world as I know it is falling apart around me…and there’s nothing I can do about it.” I looked at the slow rise and fall of his chest. “Gomen, Taichi-chan, Gomen….” I leaned over and kissed him. The tears rolled down my cheeks again. “Suki da Taichi” I whispered. I closed my eyes and put my forehead on his hand. “Suki da Taichi-chan…Suki da…” I said slowly, crying.

Suddenly, Yamato came and put his hands on my shoulders. “He’s gone…”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Another cliffhanger! Why did it end so soon you ask? Well I thought that it should end like that. Well…guess you’re going to have to sit around and wait for part 3. :::Many sighs are heard from the readers::: Gomen, minna-san! (You don’t have to sit around and wait for part 3 cause I know you aren’t going to…again, I just like to imagine…) Questions? Comments? Email me. Those of you who actually sent me emails-THANX! Again, this is my first try in Digimon fan-fic writing, so please be gentle…
