"I call the baby!" Tai said as he and Sora walked into the house. Kari had tied mistletoe on Purmon's head, and everyone tended to hold her up just for a kiss.
"I knew I should've stopped her," Gatomon said, sighing and shaking her head.
"How's the turkey, Mrs. Kamiya?" TK asked.
Mrs. Kamiya checked, "Not done yet, but it's starting to smell good."
"I've noticed that ages ago," Patamon said.
Purmon looked down at
Tai and Sora making out; she smiled and clapped her paws.
"Alright
that's enough, she's only a few days old you know!" Wizardmon
said, taking the child from the two.
Tai sighed, "Sorry, lost control. So mom, is it alright if Sora and I stay the night for Christmas?"
"Sure honey," Mrs. Kamiya said with a smile on her face.
Tai thought for a second, all the rooms were full but the couch and even if he decided to sleep on the floor it wasn't right for his 7 month pregnant fiancée to sleep on the couch.
"Urm…" Tai said to himself as he glanced at the couch, Sora, then around the room, and kept looking around in that order again.
Wizardmon noticed, "Um…" he started, "Gatomon and I could sleep in here…you can borrow our bed."
"Really!?"
Wizardmon nodded, then muttered "ow" and looked down at Purmon who was slapping her paws on his chest to get his attention; although it didn't really hurt.
"Wow, thanks wiz…uh…I mean Wizardmon. Thanks lots!" Tai said, patting him on the back then going into the kitchen that had a mouth watering smell hovering in the room; and of course...Agumon followed.
Sora sighed from slight tiredness and just happiness, she enjoyed Christmas a lot. She carefully sat down on the couch, leaned back and closed her eyes for a second.
"Hey," came a voice and she looked over to see Kari sitting down next to her.
"Hey, Kari-chan," Sora said, and smiled at her.
Kari smiled back, then looked over at Tai and laughed. He was trying to steal a bit of turkey, although his mother had said that first off he would be burned and it wasn't done yet.
Sora giggled too, "He's great."
Kari looked over at her, "Who? Onii-chan….naaaah he's a pig."
Sora laughed, "True, but he really is a great guy, I was also talking about the other father in here too…the newer one."
Kari turned her attention to Wizardmon, and smiled brightly. The wizard father was playing with Purmon, and just the way he held her, smiled, laughed, etc. …it just gave those looking at him a warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
"Yeah," Kari said and smiled brightly. Biyomon sat down with them and looked at what they were looking at.
"Um, why are you guys looking at Wizardmon?" she asked.
"It's nothing," Sora said and looked away.
So as everyone had to wait for the turkey to finish, they set up the table nice and pretty then played a game.
"Damn," Tai said, looking away from the board game and up at the clock, "How long does it take for a turkey to cook!?"
"A while, no be patient honey," Mrs. Kamiya said, moving one over her figures to a space.
"Hasn't it been 'a while'!?"
"True, but not much of a while," Tai's mother said, smirking at him.
Tai frowned, "I'm hungry, so is Agumon…right buddy?"
Agumon nodded, "I could eat a whole Unimon!"
"Ok now don't forget what happened last time you ate too much," Sora said and giggled.
Agumon frowned, "Don't even remind me of that!"
"Which part? The bad evolution or the bathroom issues?" Biyomon asked.
Sora grinned, "Both."
Agumon crossed his arms as everyone laughed. A bell like "ding" came from the kitchen and Mrs. Kamiya shot up, "The turkey is done!"
"Finally!" Tai said, getting up and sitting in his spot at the table.
"Wait for me Tai!" Agumon said and went over to sit by him.
Everyone eventually went over to sit down too. Tai got up, deciding not to be selfish, and went over to help his fiancée up off the couch.
"Itadakimasu," everyone said after slapping their hands together and bowing their head down.
Purmon looked at the
others from where she was sitting, she laughed and slapped her paws
together and talked in baby language.
Everyone noticed and
laughed at her cuteness.
"Alright, Cogymon and some of the others are coming over for the present exchanging," Wizardmon said, getting up from the desk chair when they had received an email.
"Hey," Kari said, "I've got an idea. I heard both Alissa and her partner and Carl and his partner are having a hard time with their dating. Like, they're all shy. Sooo…"
TK smirked and nodded, "Patamon you grab hold of Purmon when they get here."
Patamon nodded and went over to hold Purmon; she looked up at him and tried to grab his ears.
"Ow! Gatomon do something!" Patamon whined.
Gatomon smiled and simply pulled Purmon off.
"Now don't mess with his ears," she said to him then handed her back to him.
It seemed like hours that everyone had to stare there into nothingness, just to wait for a few people to show up.
Purmon yawned.
"Yeah, I know what you mean," Patamon said, "It's so boring at the moment."
"Maybe we should have told them to come through the computer, that way we'd be staring at the computer and not air," Tai said.
"Wait,"
Wizardmon said as a portal began to form before them.
Everyone
but Sora and Tai's parents stood up, and Patamon flew up with Purmon.
Soon, standing there before them was Alissa and her partner, her sister and her partners, and Carl and his partner.
"Sorry that we're late," Alissa said, grinning sheepishly, "I had forgotten to wrap the presents so we had to do it at the last moment."
"Yeah, and Cogymon got tied up in ribbons and tape," Triomon said.
"Did not! That was you!" Cogymon said, pointing at the lizard Digimon.
Triomon stuck her tongue out and Cogymon growled at her.
"Ok, Cogymon. It's Christmas; shouldn't we be enjoying time together and not fighting?" Wizardmon said.
Cogymon unclenched his hands, "Yeah, you're right onii-chan."
Wizardmon smiled.
Soon it was quiet and no one said anything, then Kari cleared her throat.
"Um, isn't the…um…ceiling nice and white today?" she said and their guests looked up.
Ashlyn's eyes widened, "Why is there mistletoe tied to Purmon, and why is Patamon holding her and flying in the air!?"
Then she finally thought for a moment and quickly moved to the side so that she wouldn't get caught in any mess.
Carl blushed, took his eyes off Patamon and Purmon and looked at Alissa. Who, was looking up at him and smiled, "I guess we've got no choice…"
"Whoa, we got caught in it too!" Cogymon said, looking down at Sumimon. And as Sumimon would normally blush, she blushed more than usually and nodded.
So the four's faces leaned close to each other and kissed. Even though Carl's and Alissa's lasted much longer than Cogymon's and Sumimon's.
"Ok," Alissa said, breaking the kiss, "Let's hurry and do this. Mom wants me home in time."
"I thought your digivice transports you in time?" Gatomon asked.
"Yeah, but…ugh I really don't know how to explain it. I'll go back in time, but around the same time as now. Get it?"
Gatomon shook her head.
"Just forget it then."
Everyone sat down and got comfortable; Cogymon sat by his elder brother and played with Purmon. First the adults, more like parents, exchanged gifts and then the teens and Digimon. Then it all got mixed up. Many gave Kari new film for her camera, knowing that she wanted to take more pictures when Sora had her child and then got married to Tai. And then many gave the new parents and upcoming parents more things they needed for their child. Mostly everyone got Purmon toys; that she had a hard time choosing between which to have. Finally, after Gatomon had been waiting and wondering, Wizardmon revealed what he got for his daughter.
"It's nothing big, but when I saw it I thought she'd like it," he said, and reached behind his back and like a magic trick he pulled out a small brown stuffed animal bear with a red bow tied on it. At first, Purmon was paying no attention. But then she suddenly turned to her father, noticing the bear and held open her paws. Wizardmon smiled and handed the bear to his daughter, who hugged the bear as tight as she could. From then on, she would carry it around with her everywhere and when she dropped it, she would cry but eventually pick it back up.
------------
Time went by, and soon came the time for Sora.
Gatomon and Wizardmon were lying in bed early morning, they had woken up from Purmon's crying. First they fed her, then played with her. Wizardmon was slowly drifting off to sleep when the phone rang. They sat there for a while, thinking that the Kamiyas might hear it. Eventually Wizardmon got up and answered it. When he hung up, he ran back into the room.
"Sora's having her baby!" he said to Gatomon.
"Really!?" Gatomon said, sitting up quickly and scaring Purmon, "Oh, I'm sorry Purmon."
She held her baby close and moved her arms up and down so the child would calm down.
"I'll got tell Kari and her parents," Wizardmon said and left the room rather quickly.
"Kari!" Wizardmon said, turning on her light in her room.
Kari sat up, flinching from the bright light so she cupped her hands over her eyes and moaned, "What is it Wizardmon?"
"Sora…she's…having her baby!"
"What!?" Kari said, finally fully awake and ran out of bed. She rushed to her parents room and did the same as Wizardmon had done.
Soon, everyone was at the hospital; slowly falling asleep in the waiting room. Agumon and Biyomon later walked by, noticed them and waited with them. And soon, Sora's mother rushed in.
"Sorry I'm late," she said.
"No problem, she's still in labor," Mr. Kamiya said, "And it's been so long."
"It takes longer for humans," Mrs. Kamiya said, comparing Gatomon's birth with humans' birth.
Soon it was later in the afternoon, more people were hanging around in the waiting room. But soon, the Kamiyas and Digimon family were allowed to go see Sora. She was nearly asleep, but seemed so happy.
"Now I know how you feel," Sora said, toward Gatomon but was looking at her child, "No matter the pain, you feel happy when you look into the child's face."
Gatomon only smiled, then felt Purmon wake up in her arms.
"Hey you," she said to Purmon, who rubbed her eyes then looked around. She soon noticed Sora, and then the child in her arms. Purmon cocked her head to the side, then held open her arms to make her mom walk closer to the bed. She then grabbed onto the blankets so she could look. Gatomon finally understood and held Purmon up so she could see the human baby. She was quite amazed at what she was seeing, she didn't know humans could be so small. But she was only a baby and didn't understand.
"Alright," said a doctor, "Let them rest."
"I must stay, she's my partner!" Biyomon said.
"Very well," the doctor said, nodding and left.
"You're lucky to have a nice doctor," Gatomon said, thinking about how stubborn Joe was.
Sora giggled a bit, then sighed and lied her head back, "I'm so tired…"
"Just get some rest," Tai said, smiling and running his fingers through her hair.
Mrs. Kamiya smiled at her son, then looked at her husband and gestured him out the door. Soon Gatomon and Wizardmon followed, leaving the new family alone to rest.
Months passed, Sora grew strong again and her and Tai had graduated from college. So then, they were ready to become an official family. They got married, and everyone pretty much lived happily ever after.
Yes…happily ever after. Forever it shall remain like that. Gatomon would think to herself, every morning to be exact. She would wake up, turn to her side and see her child and lover. She would never wish anything better than the feeling to be with the ones she cared.
