I sat on the couch watching Devil May Cry, one of the most badass Animes created. Dante was frickin' hot, but I wish they had Vergil and Nero in it too like the games. Stitch jumped onto my lap and curled up; my hand started scratching his head on instinct as I watch Trish and Lady trying shoot each other into Swiss cheese.
"You bitch! You shot my hair!" Lady shrieked and I laughed. What is it about woman that made them like that? Even the devil hunters.
"Roxas are you ready? We're going as soon as your dad gets back." Mom said from behind me.
I looked back at him with a smile, "All I need is to put on my shoes and we can bail."
He nodded with his own smile and went to the kitchen; I turned my attention back to the TV trying to remember how much longer until Dante stepped into the cat fight. We were going to visit Tidus today since my parents hadn't seen him since their wedding, but Dad had to check a few things at the gym first or it would nag him all day. I was dressed casually in some white cargo shorts and a light blue sleeveless hoodie.
"Mom can I bring Stitch? He doesn't get out much after all." I called to him.
"I think that's alright. He does need his attention from you." He called back and Stitch barked happily.
I continued to watch my show, Dante finally stepped in and I had to contain a whoop or my mother would make a comment about how I needed a love life. I heard the front door open and Stitch jumped off my lap making a run for it as he barked enthusiastically.
"Hi Dad." I said. I didn't need to call out; the front door was only about five steps from the couch.
A hand tousled my hair vigorously, making me let out a laugh "You're not drooling over Anime dudes again are you?" he asked in playful annoyance.
I looked back at him holding both my arms out gesturing to the TV, "Hey! Dante's hot!"
My parents had not a care in the world that I was as gay as the hills like them! The only thing they worried about was that I would have a hard time getting a boyfriend because the expectations I have for the man I wanted were that of the shows I watched. I'm a dreamer-romantic, okay!
"Well as hot as he may be, he's got nothing on my husband!" My mom said coming up behind my dad and hugging him around his waist.
I looked at the TV with a pout, crossing my arms "You're just saying that because he makes more money in a day than Dante does in a year." I grumbled.
"Yeah well," the show suddenly stopped and the TV was turned off. I turned and saw my dad with the remote "Let's go, Tidus is expecting us."
He really wasn't, this was a surprise visit. I got up and went to put on my shoes, my mother doing the same. Dad didn't need to since he just got back from outside anyway. Stitch came up to me and whined as I slipped on my white Van's, "I know boy, I promised you could come along. Now sit." He sat and I took his red leash off the hook by the door.
After hooking it onto his collar I opened the door and led him out, my parents following behind me. We had to wait a minute since my dad made a point in grabbing a couple of bags in case Stitch went and he had to lock up the house. But we were walking down the street in no time at all, my dog at my side and my parents only some steps behind me with an arm around each other.
As we were walking we passed the house of a couple of friends of mine, Xigbar and Luxord. They were half brothers but didn't look like they were related at all despite having the same mother.
"Yo Roxas! How goes it man?" Speak of the devils, they were sitting right outside. Xigbar was the one who called out to me; he had long black hair tied back with white streaks he put in himself, saying they made him look "experienced" or something, I dunno. He also had an eye patch over his right eye, he lost it after getting into a knife fight which also resulted in the scar on his left cheek; someone used a hot blade on him.
He noticed my parents and gave them a salute, "Out for a family stroll?"
"No, we're going to visit someone. What are you guys up to?" I said.
It was Luxord who answered. He was blonde like Naminé with a goatee, a few piercings on each ear, and a cool accent that he got from his father apparently, "He's trying to kick my ass at poker again."
I looked at Xigbar who scowled at his brother, "Well good luck with that. We gotta go so I'll see you guys at school!" Waving we began walking again.
"I can't help but wonder who Tidus is married to. And we should track down Yuna too if she's here like Roxas said." Mom said.
"We'll find her. But first we attack Tidus for being gone for so long and not contacting us at all for the past fifteen years." Dad responded, I knew he was probably beating a fist into his palm like he always does when he gets excited about something.
I looked back at them asking, "He was gone that long?"
Dad smiled a little "It was strange. He only stuck around for our wedding which was around the time we found out Sora was pregnant with you, then he left without a word to anyone. He didn't even tell Wakka and those two were best friends growing up." He explained.
My uncle Wakka, if he really was best friends with Tidus I wonder what he did to him when he found out the guy was back on the Islands. I guess we were about to find out seeing as how we were coming up to my aunt Rikku's old house. We got to the porch and Dad reached an arm out to ring the doorbell, the door opened in no time, revealing Yuna's smiling face.
"Roxas! It's so good to see you again!" she said enveloping me in one of her hugs again.
"Yuna what are you doing here?" Mom exclaimed.
Finally noticing my parents Yuna looked at them but kept her hands on my shoulders, "Sora! It's been such a long time! I'm sorry I haven't been around or contacted anyone but I've been so busy! Life's not fair at all is it?"
I looked back at my parents and saw Mom smiling goofily as he hugged Dad around his waist, "Not all the time." Then he grew serious again "Now answer my question please."
"Oh! Well, I live here with my husband." She said.
"Wait a second! You mean to tell us you married Tidus?" Dad asked.
I smacked myself in the head, of course now I would remember that Selphie said this yesterday when we were talking at the youth center! But I kept my mouth shut because I knew if I said anything now my mom would scold me and send me on a guilt trip about it all.
Yuna suddenly giggled sheepishly and stepped to the side, "Where is my mind going? Come in, all of you! I'm sure you want to catch up on things."
"Um, Yuna. I hope you don't mind, but I brought my dog." I said gesturing to Stitch who was sitting and waiting to be acknowledged.
My cousin got this look on her face, like any girl would get if they saw something they couldn't resist and she knelt down to scratch his ears, "I've always wanted a puppy…"
I heard a snort and a smack and I knew Mom hit Dad for trying to suppress his laughter, common thing in our household. But then there was a clearing of the throat and my dad got her attention back, "Yuna are we just going to talk out here then?"
She made a small meep and laughed, "I swear I'm still in the honeymoon phase! Come in everyone." She stepped to the side again and allowed us into the house.
The entrance was different from my house, instead of coming through the door and instantly being in the living room there was a small hall, the entrance to the living room a few steps ahead to the left. One could see the kitchen straight ahead, the stairs to the northeast from the door as soon as one stepped inside.
She led us to the living room and we saw Tidus trying to put an entertainment center together while muttering about "stupid, lazy-ass Wakka". "Tidus, we have company." Yuna said pleasantly.
The sandy blonde looked up at us and almost fell backwards, "What the hell are you guys doing here?"
Suddenly my dad had him in a headlock, "I like that! This shit coming from the very bastard who decided to disappear for fifteen fucking years! Pardon my language Yuna."
She waved him off with an amused smile, "Oh I've heard worse, don't worry."
"Ri, don't kill him. Yet anyway." Mom said when he saw Tidus fruitlessly struggling against my father's grip.
"Dammit…. Riku! I-I thought…. Hav-having a kid…. Would…. Have worn you d-down!" the older blonde gasped.
A smug smirk crossed my father's pale face, "Nope, it was quite the opposite. Roxas really put my limits to the test."
He wasn't lying. When I was a baby going through the whole keep-my-parents-up-all-night phase my dad was the one to tend to me since Mom had the day shift while he was at work, my cousin Cloud said he had to force caffeine down his throat every day until that passed. Then I started crawling, nothing to worry about until I started walking, then running, so you can imagine I was a pain in the ass when I was on my feet trying to outrun my parents in the park. Mom would just watch and laugh while Dad had a hard time despite his legs being longer than mine; I was faster than him, especially on a sugar high. Then I wanted to learn kickboxing so he got me into his junior classes at the gym, he taught me himself and once I got the hang of things I gave him a run for his money. Needless to say thing started calming down when I turned twelve.
I noticed Tidus was starting to turn red in the face from the possible lack of oxygen so I decided to point it out, "Dad you're gonna be charged for murder by means of strangulation if you don't let him go soon."
"He knows what to say." Dad smirked.
"Fuck… you! Alright! I'm a deflated Blitz ball!" he shouted and was finally released.
Yuna went to help him onto the couch while Dad stood by Mom and me again "So everyone, make yourselves at home." She said with a warm smile.
I instantly dropped onto the floor where I wouldn't interfere with anyone who tried to walk around; Stitch jumped into my lap and curled up. Mom and Dad took the love seat and Yuna sat by her husband.
"Okay Yuna, first of Rikku wants you to call her and explain why she didn't know about you wedding, why any of us didn't know." Mom said.
"I know Sora, I know. But you have to tell me about your life. How long have you and Riku been married?" my cousin asked.
And there it was, Mom got that dreamy I-still-can't-believe-how-lucky-I-got look on his face as he leaned against Dad "Fifteen years and still going strong." He sighed.
Dad couldn't help but laugh a little, a laugh that said 'he's so damn cute!'
"I think I'm gonna hurl. You guys were married longer than us and you're still in the honeymoon phase." Tidus clipped only to be smacked in the head.
Yuna turned to me after her little assault on the man and gave a pleasant smile, "Tell me Roxas, how old are you?"
"I'm fifteen; I'll be sixteen in December." I said with my own smile.
"Tidus wiped himself off the face of the planet with his disappearing act long before that though. He left after our wedding and didn't say goodbye. We were hoping he would be his God Father." Mom pouted, which resulted in Dad hugging in tightly and nuzzling his hair.
"How many times do I have to tell you stop pouting? You're gonna make us leave right now." He growled.
Okay sweat drop moment, "Dad, please get a hold of yourself." I got a wink in response.
Tidus cleared his throat, "So uh… How's everyone else doing? Since it's been forever and all."
Mom managed to pull himself away from Dad, only holding his hand now, "Well Selphie's married and working at the youth center down the coastline. Wakka probably told you he's married too, Cloud and Riku opened their kickboxing gym, Leon's a doctor so we get our check-ups and stuff practically free~! And he and Cloud had a son, his name is Dante." Oh, I didn't mention that, did I?
Well long story short, I got my DMC addiction from Leon. He and Cloud made this deal; depending on the gender of their kid they would name it after one of their favorite characters from whatever they were obsessing over at the time. Leon was into Devil May Cry and Cloud couldn't get his head out of Fruits Basket, curtsey of Leon's friend Yuffie; if they had a boy Leon named it, if it was a girl Cloud did. Of course when Dante was born my dad's cousin got broody, so he was promised to name the next one they decided to pop out.
"Yeah, Wakka told me he was married. Some girl named Lulu who's obsessed with dolls, and they have a baby boy. He said they named him Chappu after his brother; that was a nice way to honor his memory." Tidus said with a small smile.
I knew who Chappu was, he and Wakka were the best Blitz Ball players on the islands. Back when I was about five or six they were headed for Spira to see the Cup Final, Lulu would have gone too if she weren't sick, and Wakka said it was a good thing she was because very few people survived that boat crash.
"Anyway, who did Selphie marry?" Tidus asked.
"Some dude named Irvine, works as a Jack of All Trades. Brings in some pretty good money from time to time, especially when he does work for people he knows best. We see him a lot at the gym." Dad explained.
Yuna cleared her throat in a nervous manner, "I don't know if this will seem like a strange question, but I want to know Sora. What was it like for you to be pregnant with Roxas?"
Mom blushed and Dad started snickering in a 'oh here we go!' way.
Clearing his throat my mother answered, "A nice experience at some points, and a pain in the ass at others."
She pouted, "That's too vague! Give me details, surely you wouldn't mind telling about how Riku got worn down dealing with you right?"
That was quite a card to play, bravo Yuna. And from the evil smirk on Mom's face he thought so too, "I think that was the funniest part of the whole thing."
"Can we hear Mom? Please?" I asked.
"Yeah, tell me what I missed out on. We are supposed to be catching up after all." Tidus said.
Mom nodded, "Yes we are. So Riku you tell the story~!"
Dad looked at Mom in disbelief, "You're kidding me." And then there were puppy dog eyes "Arhg! Alright Sora, alright! That damn adorable pout!"
*Flashback, Riku's POV 1996*
I pulled up in front of the house left to me by my mother. Sora and I had been married for almost a month now and we had been living together for four years in this place. It's true we're both going through Junior College right now, me being in my final year and Sora in his second, but we were getting along pretty well. I had a job down at the docks, Sora worked in the local library and the bookstore in the town center part time, and we had the money I was left by my family in case we ran into some snags. I was trying to get a degree in business management and Sora wanted to become a writer.
Getting my backpack I got out of my 1975 Ford Mustang and started for the door of the house when I heard a cranking like sound coming from it and I looked back to make sure it wasn't trying to keep going until it hit something, a bad habit it had whenever it made that noise. I really had to have that looked at or something; I know it was like twenty years old, but come on! When I went out for my first car I wanted one that made me feel like I hadn't completely abandoned my past self, back when I was just known as Riku, without a sir name, because it was part of who I was now. So I got a car from my birth year.
It didn't move. Good, but I watched it for another minute anyway just in case. The car was possessed by Loki, the Norse God of Trickery! I swear! When it didn't budged I nodded and went into the house, finding Sora watching The Lion King while eating a sandwich. In front of him on the coffee table was a bowl with orange peels and apple cores, a snack-sized ice cream container, and a gallon jug of chocolate milk. This was something that had been bugging me for a few weeks now, he was eating so much and half of it was things I couldn't imagine tasted good together.
"Hey babe, get anything done today?" I said walking up behind him and hanging my arms around his neck.
He swallowed the bite he was chewing then tilted his head backwards to look at me, "Kiss first." I playfully rolled my eyes then gave him a chaste but loving hello kiss "Okay, I'm happy~! Anyways yes! I got four chapters done, each about… ten to fifteen pages long, I took care of about half my homework, and I… decided to go to the doctor today like you've been telling me to so I could see what my throwing up is about." He said.
I smelled something weird as he spoke, and it was definitely his breath, "Sora what the hell is on that sandwich you're eating?"
He looked from me to the sandwich in his hand and back with a sheepish blush, "Pickles."
"You're eating a pickle sandwich?" I asked taking the thing from him. I opened it enough to see the green slices of the sour thing, but that wasn't all, "Um Sora… Did you put peanut butter on this?"
"Yes?" he offered nervously.
"You mean to tell me you're eating a peanut butter and pickle sandwich?" he nodded "Okay. I'm gonna go put my stuff down and then I'm gonna come back here and talk to you about your little trip. So please for the love of God make sure this is gone by that time." I said giving him back the sandwich and heading up stairs.
"Whoa wait a second! A peanut butter and pickle sandwich? That's gross Sora!" Tidus said interrupting the story. And I had to agree with him, it was the same thing Angela ate while pregnant with her son, Michael on Bones (A/N: It's true, that's where the sandwich idea came from. BTW, that show is the shit!)
Mom threw a pillow and hit the sandy blonde square in the face, "Let Riku finish! And I'd like to see you deal with Yuna and the cravings when you get her pregnant!"
Tidus blushed, Yuna giggled, and Dad went on with the story.
I got back to the living room and sat on the couch pulling my husband onto my lap, that damn sandwich gone, "So what happened?"
"I wanna finish the movie first." He murmured.
I looked at the TV and saw Simba roaring from Pride Rock, okay I can let it slide. So the movie finished and the credits went into play, Sora looked up at me with a nervous smile "Mind you, this may give you a heart attack." He said.
"Hey I just wanna know if I need to get you any medicine right now." I replied.
He took a breath and sat up straight, "Alright. So I went in and told them what was up. The doctor ran a test on me, without telling me what kind it was, and he told me I… He told me…"
Okay he was starting to freak out now, "Sora, take a breath. Now tell me what he said."
"First I wanna know. If I tell you this, will you leave me, or make me do something I don't want to do?" He asked.
"To your first question, hell no. I may as well put a bullet through my brain and then my heart for extra measure. To your second, what reason could I possibly have to do that?" I answered.
He took a breath, "Okay here goes… Riku, apparently I'm… I'm pregnant."
I blinked. This was… well not completely unheard of, but definitely a shock when it happens to you. The Islands were known for having strange things happen on them, male pregnancy being no different, just one of the reasons for the name Destiny Islands; anything weird that happens is apparently meant to happen. Although it was a lot to take in; Sora, my Sora, was pregnant. Many emotions went through me at once, shock, fear, doubt, then finally happiness and pride, though I probably didn't show it as I was just staring slack-jawed.
"Riku… Please, say something… Anything." Sora said and I knew instantly he was probably getting ready to cry.
Gently I pushed him back onto the couch and settled myself between his legs so that my head rested on his stomach "You're telling me that… you're… carrying my child?" I whispered.
"Is… Is that okay? I mean, if it makes anything better I'll get an abortion or put it up for adoption." He murmured.
My head shot up and I glared at him for the first time and I saw him flinch, "Sora Taiyoh Hikari Kokoro if I ever hear you say anything like that again I won't speak to you for a week! How could you even suggest throwing something so wonderful away?"
His blue eyes welled up with tears and he turned his face from mine, "You… You weren't saying anything… I thought… you weren't ready. I want to raise it Riku, I do… But if you didn't want to I wasn't going to push you."
"Push me? Why would you be pushing me? I admit it's a shock, but… Sora, after hearing you tell me this I didn't think it was possible for me to love you more than I already do. And you know how much I love you." I said.
He giggled a little "Enough to actually drop everything you were doing and come see me, just to give me a hug." He replied, remembering a few years back when we were still in high school. He called the children's shelter while I was doing my share of the chores saying he was in desperate need of a hug and I ran out just to give him that. Of course I got scolded, but it was worth it to see that beautiful smile on his face. "You practically let me rule you." He added.
I got off of him and onto the floor kneeling in front of him with one hand over my heart, "And I shall serve my love even after I have taken my final breath."
Sora laughed then, "You are such a cheese ball!" he continued laughing until he saw my face set in a dead serious expression and he blushed, embarrassed "I'm sorry." He whispered.
"Of course I'm serious about it Sora. Why would I joke when it comes to you and me?"
"I know, I'm sorry. So um… About the baby, you're really alright about it?" he asked.
I laid my head on his stomach again looking him in the eye, "I'm gonna save my pride for when it starts kicking around in there."
He smiled at me, "Okay come on, you earned a make-out session."
Pushing myself up so that I wasn't on him but my face was level with his I pressed my lips his in a chaste manner, moving them slowly and pouring my heart into the action. When his lips parted and I felt his tongue slip over my bottom lip I pulled away, making him pout adorably "Gonna have to take a rain check, babe. We're gonna go out for dinner to celebrate this miracle." I said.
His face brightened, "Can I choose?" I shrugged "I wanna go to Marie Calendar's, please~!"
"You just want their pie, not their food." I teased.
"Nuh-uh! Their shrimp is awesome too!" he pouted. (A/N: Their shrimp is awesome.)
I chuckle at him and patted his shoulder as I stood up, "Let's go get ready, so we can get there around dinner rush and not be stuck in line."
*Six months later*
It was the last month of summer and I found myself at my cousin Cloud's house. He had finally moved to the Islands after his boyfriend Leon finished up his medical training in Radiant Garden. Six years after I met the guy! Does that suck or what?
Anyway, we were there for Leon's birthday, he turned twenty-nine today. I swear from the way I've seen them act, it's like they're meant to be; problem is Leon's too chicken shit to ask my cousin to marry him after they've been together for this long.
"What are you guys hoping for?" Cloud asked while feeling my kid kick in Sora's swollen belly.
Sora wasn't too big and he was on bitter-sweet terms about that. The up side he only had to buy pants only two sizes, three for his own precaution, bigger, and shirts only a size larger for now. Down side he was worried the baby was under developing, mind you these are all on his terms, not mine. I keep telling him he has nothing to worry about and that I think he looks gorgeous; even Leon is telling him the baby's fine.
"We're not sure what we want it to be. Riku what do you really want it to be?" Sora asked me.
I shrugged, "Either way it comes out looking like you."
His hands went to his hips, which looked a little funny considering he was sitting down with a swollen belly. "What makes you so sure it will look like me?" he huffed.
"He has a point kid, it could come out looking like you or a mix." Leon commented from the chair across from us.
"No matter who it looks like, you'll have to beat people off with a stick right?" Yuffie, Leon's childhood friend said from her place behind the man. She was trying to pull his hair into a pony tail at the middle of the back of his head but that was proving to be an epic fail considering some of it kept falling away.
Cloud looked back at her, still rubbing my husband's belly and laughed, "Yuffie give up with Squall's hair already, it's just gonna keep falling."
Yuffie pouted, "No! I'm gonna fix his hair, and I'm gonna get video footage of you jumping him because of how hot he'll look! I know Squall will like that, his Chocobo giving him a sexy birthday present~!"
Oy, what a spaz. I don't know why she got such a kick out of seeing two guys in love. She gets an even bigger kick out of catching it on film or something so she can sell it, and that's just plain wrong.
"That's Leon to you, you wanna-be ninja." Cloud's boyfriend growled.
Yuffie huffed putting her hands on her hips, which resulted in Leon's hair falling just past his shoulders like always. But she ignored it in favor of stomping round in front of him, "I am a ninja! I am the Great Ninja, Yuffie Kisaragi Valentine! And I'll call you whatever the hell I want! It's not fair that only Cloud can call you by your actual name and we've known each other since we were born! And don't pull the I'm-older-than-you-by-two-years card!"
Leon got up from the chair and sat by Cloud, who was next to Sora, who was next to me, and pulled him onto his lap "She's the reason I banished women from my love life." He said making us laugh.
"What? I'm the reason? You'll pay for that Squa-HEY! I'm not done with your hair! Get back over here!" Yuffie screeched.
"Stop. My Cloud time." Leon said nuzzling my cousin's neck.
"That's it, no more MC Hammer for you." Cloud giggled.
"Dammit! I should've gotten my camera!" Yuffie screeched.
The phone rang and she marched over to it and practically tore it off the cradle, "Whadoya want?"
"Hey! Don't answer my phone like that!" Cloud shouted.
Yuffie's face suddenly turned happy, "Hi Vinny~! Can I come home now? Cloud and Squall aren't being fair."
I smirked as I couldn't resist my next move, "Don't fall for it! She's just mad she couldn't get the homo-merchandise!" Got me the middle finger, but it was worth it.
Then I saw Sora pouting and I had to restrain myself, I think it was that look that got him pregnant in the first place "But I worked so hard on that cake. You don't wanna have any Yuffie?" he whimpered.
Cloud, Leon, and I looked between Sora and Yuffie. She still had the phone to her ear while she stared at my husband then she said into the phone quickly, "Get over here now, I am making you eat Squall's birthday cake!" then she hung up and made a jump for Sora squeezing the life out of him "You are impossibly cute~!" she squealed.
It took me about three minutes to pull her off, "He's pregnant! You kill him, you kill my kid, and I'll have a right to kill you!"
She let go with a squeak and hid on the other side of the couch behind Cloud and Leon, "Screw you Kokoro."
She says that, yet she's the one hiding.
"No way in Hell Yuffie, he's my husband and as gay as a rainbow." Sora smirked and we all started laughing.
"Ah Sora dear," she said coming back towards us and pinching his cheek as if he were a child "As much as a girl can dream I'm afraid the hotness of your husband doesn't compare to the sexiness of mine."
Sora tried to glare, but it turned out to be a cute pout, "You're a lie and your feet stink! My Riku is hotter and sexier than twenty-five of your Vincent's!"
While they went into that argument the doorbell rang, failing to catch their attention. Looking at the other end of the couch I didn't think Leon was letting Cloud go anytime soon, so I stood to answer it receiving a grateful nod from both of them. Going into the hall and heading for the door I could hear Sora and Yuffie's voices rising, I shook my head and I opened the door to allow in a pale guy with black hair and red eyes.
Vincent Valentine may look like a creep-out, but he's actually pretty cool (if you don't piss him off that is) and I like hanging out with him if he could spare the time. He worked as a traveling arms dealer, legally mind you; he specialized in antique guns, even owned one, a nice triple barrel model.
"How's it going Vincent?" I greeted.
"What the hell are they fighting about this time?" he asked when he heard Yuffie and Sora shrieking at each other like banshees.
"Us. A my-horse-is-bigger-than-your-horse." I explained.
We went to the living room and I saw Sora standing with his nose practically touching Yuffie's and they were glaring each other down "Vincent wishes he was Riku!" he growled.
"No thank you." Vincent said getting their attention.
A glowing smile crossed Yuffie's face and she jumped the man next to me, "My dark knight coming to take me from this awful place~!"
"Hey if that's what you think I'm not inviting you over for Christmas! No presents for you!" Leon exclaimed.
Cloud started laughing at the horrified look of Yuffie's face and he stood up, "Okay, since Yuffie wants to hightail it out of here we'd better do the cake now." He went to the kitchen to get the cake Sora made earlier in the day. It was night now anyway so what the heck.
After enjoying two slices each of the marble cake Leon kicked us all out, for obvious reasons. So Sora and I got into my car and headed home, my cousin had to pick a place half way across the Island! Oh well. We pulled into the drive way of our house and got out, Sora looked like he was about to collapse and I saw him wince upon getting out of the car.
"Sora, are you alright?" I asked.
"Don't worry; the baby's just kicking around a little." He smiled.
We started for the door when I heard that accursed clanking sound again, thankfully it didn't move "Seriously Riku, either get that fixed or buy a new car." Sora said.
"Don't worry. Come on, let's get inside. I know you're tired." I said putting an arm around him.
He looked at me with those puppy dog eyes, "Carry me?" I rolled my eyes with a smirk and lifted him bridal style.
*Three Months later; December 13, 1996*
It was early in the morning, about 7:30. I don't know why I was awake this early in the morning when I didn't have to be at work until about ten, but I was, so I was passing my time by keeping my head on Sora's belly feeling our baby kick around; they were due any day now. Sora had gotten a bit bigger, not so much but he's at a pregnancy size he's satisfied with, that didn't mean he didn't have mood swings though. Now those I had to watch out for, I found out the hard way that what I say wouldn't always be taken as I meant it to be; Sora threw a vase at me just because I offered him one of my T-shirts to wear once, all because I wanted him to feel comfortable.
Well, at least it wasn't like how Kairi when she was pregnant with Naminé and Xion. Ya know I don't think anyone knows how she got pregnant with two kids by two different guys at the same time. (A/N: That is possible, I heard about it on the news. Something about have more than one of some female reproduction body part.) Long story short, she was worse than Sora and ten pregnant women combined and let me tell ya, Sora was bad enough on his own.
I felt fingers slithering through my hair and I knew Sora had woken up "Morning babe. How do you feel?" I asked. Another thing Sora's had to go through was false contractions near the end, they happened a few times a day at most.
"I'm alright. Can we just stay like this all day?" he mumbled tiredly.
I leaned up to kiss him, "As nice as that sounds, I have to go to work later, or we're gonna have troubles by the time this one," I rubbed the mound that was our child "Decides to poke their head out."
He groaned and locked his arms around my neck, "Stay! What if the baby's born today?"
I couldn't help but chuckle, "Since this month started I haven't left you alone. Cloud will be here by the time I leave so if that happens you can call me and I'll meet you at the hospital." He suddenly winced and I got a little worried; if this was another falsie it was hitting him hard, "You alright Sor?"
He breathed deeply for a few minutes then smiled, "Just a false alarm, don't worry."
Still unsure I nodded and laid beside him, my hand still being kicked at. We stayed like that for a while; Sora fell asleep again and I had to start getting ready to go to work, thank goodness I had no classes today so I can get overtime if I want. I showered and dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, then went down stairs to make some breakfast; eggs and sausage sounded awesome right now; I think I'll throw in some Pillsbury cinnamon rolls as a treat for Sora.
So by the time Sora was up and moving I had everything done and set on the table, I was a little worried though as I watched him come down the stairs "Oh! Yay cinnamon rolls! Thank you Riku." He said kissing my cheek when he got to me.
"Thought you'd like them instead of toast." I smirked. Just as I was about to sit down next to him and eat the phone rang, so I had to hold back a growl when I picked it up, "Yeah? … What's up Cid? … Can I eat my breakfast first? I'll just work overtime for whatever time I miss since I don't have to go to school today." My boss, he was telling me to get my ass to work and help with packing up shipments onto cargo boats "Alright I'll see you in a half hour at the latest." I said then hung up the phone.
"Is Cid being an ass again?" Sora asked.
I shrugged and sat at the table again, "Is there any other way for him to be?"
He laughed and we ate in silence. Right when we were done the door bell rang, I gestured for Sora to stay put and went to answer letting my cousin in.
"Just let me do these dishes and then I'm out." I said gathering our plates and stuff.
"Riku I can do those, get yourself to work." Sora said standing and trying to take everything from me.
I just smiled, "It's alright. I told you, relax."
He pouted, "Riku I may be pregnant, but I'm not disabled."
"True as that may be, you're doing enough just carrying that little bundle of joy. And I'd hate to think what could happen if you get hit with another falsie while you're on your feet." I said going into the kitchen.
"Isn't that what I'm here for?" Cloud asked from the couch.
"Yeah, but you're useless until I leave." I finished the dishes and put on my shoes "Sora, please stay off your feet this time. Cloud, make sure he does that, and I'll see you guys tonight." I said and walked out the door after I kissed Sora goodbye.
Five hours into work Cid calls me and says I have a phone call "Who is it?" I asked before taking it.
"Yer cousin kid." He says with a smirk on his face. I hate it when he looks like that.
"What's up Cloud?"I said.
The first response I get is a loud scream "Sora's gone into labor! Meet us at the hospital!" Cloud shouted back.
"Wait what? Wh-which one are you guys going to?"
"The one Leon works at! Hurry!" and with that he hung up.
Oh my god! Sora was in labor which meant he was having a baby! I was becoming a father today! I was gonna be a fucking dad in a matter of hours! "Cid I gotta go!" I exclaimed.
He laughed, "Yeah, get goin'. And congrats kid!"
I clocked out and ran for my car, I had to hurry up and get to Sanctuary Hospital so I can support Sora! I was gonna end up speeding there so I hope my car didn't die on me, it had a tendency to do that when I went fast in it. The irony of it is the Junker was built for speed, I really have to get it fixed or buy a new car all together. Wait, I already need to considering Sora was having the baby!
I got to the hospital without trouble and saw Leon standing out front in his scrubs "Hurry the hell up! Sora's already prepped for the C-Section!" he called out as I practically fell out of my car.
"Well I'm sorry if my house is closer than the dock to this place!" I shouted running in with him.
He took me into the room Sora was in; he was laying back with a curtain blocking the sight of his belly while the doctors got ready to cut him open "Sora, are you alright?" I asked taking his hand.
"Riku… I'm so tired." He said weakly returning my grasp.
"That's just the anesthesia. Don't worry Sora, the baby's coming so we'll be parents soon." I said.
Leon took me by the arm and started pulling me away, "You can't be in here right now. Go to the waiting area with Cloud."
"You better take care of both of them Leon." I growled at him.
"Don't worry about it." He said closing the door behind me.
I spent I don't know how long sitting by Cloud while we waited for the baby to be born. I was nervous for so many reasons, like Sora dying during the operation; Kairi had to get a C-Section and she was in a coma for a week and a half because she started bleeding out through her stitches. And what if the baby was born still-born? I didn't want to lose either of them. I was told my mother had a C-Section when I had to be born, she died after naming me, and apparently I had a twin was born still born as well.
"Riku." I looked at Cloud when he brought me out of my thoughts "Listen."
I strained my ears wondering what he could have meant, then I heard crying, a baby's cry. Did that mean my…?
Leon came out of the room carrying a blue bundle with a smirk on his face, "Your son's gonna make us all go deaf kid."
"Say what? It's a boy?" I asked in nothing more than a whisper as he handed me the baby.
He looked so much like Sora and he had blonde hair that already seemed to defy the laws of gravity, and he had Sora's eyes. Just looking at him made me want to cry "Just what did I do to deserve you, huh?" I whispered to him and he cooed at me. "How's Sora doing?" I asked.
"He should be awake in about an hour." Leon answered.
So I was sitting by my husband with our son in my arms humming a low tune when I heard Sora groaning "Take it easy babe, you'll open your stitches." I warned.
"Stitches? …Riku? The baby…" he murmured.
"He's fine, I have him." I smiled.
I stood up and set the baby in his arms. He was asleep but his eyes shot open when Sora had him settled "Oh my god Riku," he was gonna cry "He's so beautiful."
I kissed Sora's temple, "Just as I knew he would be. I told you he would look like you."
"Roxas." He said suddenly "Let's name him Roxas. A gust of wind, and wind is how the sky kisses the earth. Roxas Destiny Kokoro."
"It's perfect Sora."
"Okay then. Roxas Destiny Kokoro, born December 13, 1996 at 4:25 PM, weighing in at six pounds, eight ounces." We looked over to see Leon writing on what must have been the birth certificate on that clip board "Talk to ya later." He said before leaving.
"And there you have it." My dad finished.
Yuna wiped a few tears from her eyes, "That was a beautiful story."
"I don't trust this Yuffie person." Tidus said.
Mom laughed, "No need to worry about her, she lives in Hallow Bastion now. We won't see her until Christmas."
My phone started going off in my pocket and pulled it out seeing it was a text from Saïx, *Meet me at the park now! SOS!* Oh crap, not good.
"Hey Saïx is calling me out. May I go?" I asked standing up.
"Sure baby, just be back before dinner." Mom said.
I nodded and lightly tugged Stitch's leash, "Let's go boy. I'll see you guys later!" We ran out the door and sprinted all the way to the park immediately finding my friend sitting on a bench by the fountain "Sai what's wrong? Why the SOS?" I asked sitting next to him.
Stitch jumped on him and barked until Saïx started scratching his ear, he always had a way with dogs and that was why he was called "Puppy". "It's Xemnas." He finally said.
"What? What happened? Did he break up with you? Did you catch him cheating?" I asked. If Saïx said yes I was gonna kill that guy!
He looked at me like I was crazy, "No! It's nothing like that! It's just… He thinks we should… take things to the next level, third base. All he did was ask if I was okay with that."
I blinked and relaxed a little, "Oh if that's all."
"What's that supposed to mean? He wants me to give him my virginity Roxas!" he exclaimed. Thank god the park was practically empty.
"It means you had me worried! I thought a nice couple was broken and that I would need to be tried for murder. Now about the virginity thing, what exactly did you say about it?" I said.
He blushed a little, "I told him I would think about it. I do want to but… I'm scared. More than anyone should be about this."
"Wouldn't anyone be about their first time?" I asked.
"If it was Saïx's first time." Oh no! Why! Does someone up there hate me? Why the hell is Axel Lea here? Wait what was he talking about? "When we lived back in Radiant Garden and he was bouncing from home to home around there, he ran into a family that got their kicks out of molestation and rape." He explained.
"What?" I looked at my friend "You never told me that!"
Saïx glared at Axel, "I never told anyone. Axel only knows because he happened to walk in one time. And he swore to never say anything about it!"
Axel looked afraid now, awesome. "Sorry man, it slipped my mind."
As much as I didn't like him, I wasn't about to let Axel get killed because of a slip of the tongue. Besides I felt I owed him now that I knew why my friend was scared, and how I could possible help him; besides Saïx had the nickname, Berserker for a reason. "Say Sai, that means you haven't told Xem right? Maybe you should." I said.
He and Axel looked at me like I grew two more heads and asked at the same time, "Say what now?"
"I'm serious. What good is your relationship if he doesn't even know that he's not your first time or why that is? You'll know he truly cares if he listens, accepts, and tries to help you past that fear, don't you think?" I elaborated.
Saïx went into deep thought and Axel scoffed which made me send him a dirty look; he really pissed me off like no one could believe.
"He does that, Xemnas will rip him a new one. Then see if their relationship lasts. Don't you know that some things are better left unsaid?" he snapped at me.
I scowled at him, "And what'll happen if he keeps putting of that step in front of them? You think it'll be any better? Either way he gets hurt, so it better he tells him because that will be the gentlest way. Plus it'll show he trusts the person he loves. Something you don't know about!"
Axel was about to say something, but Saïx beat him to it, "You're right Roxas. I'll tell him."
The redhead looked at our mutual friend in shock, "Sai you're not really going to! What if he breaks up with you?"
"Then that will show he only wanted one thing from me and he wasn't worth the effort. And that will just be another life lesson." Saïx looked at me "I'm going to tell him tomorrow, I want you to be there in case I'll need a friend." He said.
I smiled at him, "No problem. Text me the details when you have it sorted out, and I'll see you then."
"Hey if that's the case, let me tag along. We can make it a double date." Axel said with a smirk and came closer to me.
"Not on your life. If I see you tomorrow, it better be to give Saïx some support. Not because you wanna get in my pants." With that said I stood and gently tugged on Stitch's leash "See you tomorrow Sai." I said over my shoulder.
"Text you later." He called back.
As I walked Stitch kept growling low in his throat, "What's wrong with you boy?" I knelt down to pet him but his attention was behind me. I turned and saw Axel trying to look innocent "Are you following me?"
I should have figured, whatever aggravated me aggravated him because he could sense my anger. That was something I didn't feel guilty about all the time, and since it was Axel I wouldn't feel guilty if I have to use Stitch's defense word.
"Who me? No, I'm not following you." He said, and he had that stupid I'm-as-innocent-as-the-day-I-was-born look on his face.
I stood straight again and faced him full body with my hands on my hips, Stitch walking in place with anticipation of whether or not I would use his defense word "Just because I have blonde hair doesn't mean I'm stupid." I said.
He smirked then, "Okay, ya caught me. Now answer me this, do you have a map?"
"For what?" Why did I even ask.
"I just keep getting lost in your eyes." It was another stupid pick-up line.
But hey, at least he gave me an excuse. "Ukulele." I said.
He blinked in confusion, "What the hell's that about?" then he let out a shout of pain as Stitch bit him on his ankle "Hey get off me you damn dog!"
I gave two short whistles and Stitch returned to my side, "Next time don't piss me off." And I turned to walk away again.
"Aw c'mon Roxy! Let's go make fabric softener and snuggle!" there he goes again.
"Go snuggle by yourself!" I shouted back.
"That defeats the purpose!" good, he was miffed.
"Exactly!"
Thank you YouTube!
Axel: That alien bit me!
Roxas: Sorry…
