Chapter six: strengthening there bond.

Matt and her drove in silence to the doctors. The question had been nagging at Kari’s brain all day. She didn't think she could keep it in much longer, then, without warning, it slipped out.

“Matt, do you love me?” her eyes widened when she realized what she had just asked him.

He looked at her for a brief moment before turning his eyes back to the road. “Why do you ask?” he said

She looked down. “Im sorry…” she mumbled

“Sorry?” he laughed “don’t be sorry Kari, I was just wondering why you asked is all.”

“Well…” she thought for a moment. Why had she asked him all of the sudden? Didn't she already know? He kissed her that morning and held her in his arms; you don’t do that to everyone so they must have something.

“I – I just want to…” she trailed off, noticing that he had pulled up in front of the doctor’s office.

“Kari,” he said turning to look at her. “Don’t you already know?” he asked her.

“Well…” great…now she was on the verge of crying. She sniffled, but didn't continue.

He watched her for a second. “Kari, to tell you the truth I don’t think I could love you more than I do at this very moment.” He said. She looked at him, in his icy blue eyes.

“But…how can you?” she asked him.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, I…” she looked down at her hands as he urged her to continue “how can you, I am carrying your brother’s child!” she said, warm tears trailing down her cheeks. He shushed her.

“Kari, it doesn't matter to me whose child it is. It won’t stop me from loving you, or from loving it.” He said “it doesn't make any difference to me” he added, then leaned over and brushed his lips against her own. “Now come on, you are going to be late to your appointment” he said. Going to the other side of the car and opening up the door for her.

“Alright” she said, getting out and following him into the building.

Just as Kari suspected, they just told her everything she already knew. Yes she was pregnant, she was due in July of next year, and her baby was healthy. The only thing that bothered her was when they asked who the father was. Then immediately asked if it was Matt's. 

Matt just blushed and Kari shook her head. “No” she said simply.

The ride home, well to Matt's home was silent not to mention awkward.

“Are you mad at me?” she asked suddenly, another question that just slipped out.

“Why would I be mad at you?” he asked.

“Well…I don’t know” she said.

“Kari don’t give me that.” He said, reading her perfectly.

“Im sorry. Ive just been really emotional lately.” She said. He decided he would interrogate her later.

When they got home Tai was already gone for work. Matt had left Mathew with Mimi while they were out, Mimi wanted to do some baby stuff because she claims her biological clock was ticking, which made Matt shudder. So Mimi took Mathew to a movie that wouldn't end until seven (a/n- convenient, aint it?)

Kari sat heavily on Matt's couch. She sighed and began thinking about the baby. Mostly just about what she wanted to name it. Matt watched her curiously. “So…” he looked around, it was only three o’clock.


She looked at him “so?” he thought for a moment ‘common Matt…say something.’ But he couldn't think of anything to say to her, so he just sat down beside her.

“Something bothering you?” she asked him.

“no.” he shook his head. “Not really.” But he was trying to convince himself as well as her. What if T.k ended up wanting her and the child, did Matt have the will to take her from his little brother? He looked at Kari who had grabbed a book off the coffee table ‘the silver lining’ he didn't remember ever having that book…. She flipped through the pages for a minute, before setting it back down.

“Not your kind of read?” he asked her.

“Well…” she shook her head “I guess not” she finished. A slight quake in her voice that he didn't notice before.

Kari’s phone rang and she picked it up, but again it was unknown name unknown number “whoever this jerk is, he needs to stop calling” she said.

Matt sat on the other end of the couch, contemplating. This just wasn't fair, here he was all alone with Kari and he couldn't even think of anything to say to her…he really was a prick.

“Matt” she said, looking at him. She stopped for a minute and gathered her thoughts “do you think I am ready to raise a child?” she asked him. He froze…what kind of odd question was that?

“I really think that is for you to decide” he said.

“Yeah…I guess so” she said, staring off into nowhere. He watched her curiously, wondering what could be going through her mind. Her phone rang again “if it’s an unknown number, I am going to scream.” It was Yolie.

“Hello?” she said

“Hey Kari!” The girl on the other end said

“Do you want to spend the night?” Kari contemplated for a moment…would she rather be with Yolie than alone with Matt?

“I don’t know, I will have to think about it ok, I will call you back around seven ok?”

“Ok” Yolie paused “where are you right now?” Kari blushed, although she didn't know why.

“Matt's place.” She said.

“OH!” Yolie chuckled on the other end “I get it now”

“HEY!” Kari yelled, her blush deepening “it’s not like that!” she said. Matt watched with interest.

“Sure it isn't” she said, laughing

“I will call you later Yolie” Kari said, trying to calm down so her face would go back to its natural color.

“What was that all about?” Matt asked once Kari hung up the phone.

“Oh, nothing” she said, waving it off. “She just wanted to see if I wanted to spend the night”

“Do you?” he asked raising an eyebrow at her.

“Well…” she blushed and looked away “yeah” she said under her breath.

He looked at her “so what is the problem?” 

“Well” but she didn't continue, because Matt's lips met hers before she could get a chance.

“Its ok” he said, winking at her.

“But…I don’t want to leave you here all by yourself!” she insisted

“Kari, I am here by myself all the time, im a big boy now” he said. Teasing her, but she wasn't so easily baited.

“I know…but” he stared at her and she pouted “I would feel bad” she said

“It won’t kill you to think of yourself for once you know. I will still be here when you get back” she stared at him “and no, I won’t cut myself” he said. She smiled and pushed him down on the couch, lying on top of him. He snaked his arms around her waist and held her tight.

“Are you sure?” she asked looking up at the ceiling.

“Yeah, im sure” he said, kissing the side of her forehead trying to re-assure her.

“Hmm…” she shifted trying to get comfortable in his arms. “Or, I could just stay like this” she said, sighing.

“Yeah” he said. He didn't want to have to let her go. So they remained content with lying against each other. Until her damn phone rang again. “I swear your phone is conspiring against us!” he said.

“No, but the person on the other line may be” she said “hello, Davis”

“Oh hey Kari!” She wanted nothing more than to hang up on him. And surprisingly she got her wish. Matt took the phone from her.

“She doesn't want to talk now daisuke” he said, hanging up the phone. On the other line Davis sat, confused.

“That was mean” Kari said and he just smiled

“I know, but I have to protect my women.” He said, slipping under her and off of the couch.

“Your women?” she asked him questioningly.

“Yes, my women” he said, falling on top of her and pinning her hands to the couch. She play scowled at him.

“Who says im your women?” she said, rolling her eyes then looking back up to see his reaction. His tongue came out in a playful manner

“Last time I checked, Miss Yagami” he said “you did” she smiled up at him.

“Yeah, I guess that's true” she said, giggling.

He nuzzled her neck, making her skin crawl. She stared up at him with questioning eyes “what?” he asked her.

“Do you think we will be like this forever?” she asked.

“Damn I hope so” he said smiling at her. She returned the smile, and kissed him. He returned her kiss and deepened it, pushing him and her both further into the couch.

---

T.k stood in Davis’s living room. “See what I mean?” he said. Davis was still confused.

“So, lemme get this straight, Matt is trying to steal Kari from me?”

“That’s right” T.k said

“But, I thought you liked Kari?”

“No, no Davis I think you’re the man for the job” he said. Davis smiled.

“Well, if Matt thinks he can get Kari so easily he must be delusional.” He said, smiling.

“That’s right” T.k said, his plan was already beginning to work.

---

Matt kissed Kari again, this time his tongue wanted to explore her mouth. It pushed against her teeth until she opened. It only lasted a minute before the doorbell rang.

“Oh son-of-a…” Kari giggled and he stood up to answer the door. That was proof; the world did not want him to be with her. Well the world could screw him because he wanted her, bad!

Matt came to the door, panting. Yolie stood there looking at him. “Hello” she said, giving him a disgusted look. His eye twitched slightly before he moved out of the way.

“Hey” he said through gritted teeth. Yolie went over to Kari who was now sitting upright on the couch. She smiled at Yolie, but what she really wanted to do was ring her little neck. They were so close too…

But instead Kari smiled at her. “Hey” she said. Matt disappeared off into his room and plopped on his bed. His moment had been ruined, Yolie was going to take Kari home with her and he would have to wait. “Dammit” he said quietly.

Yolie looked at her, completely oblivious as to why the two teens both seemed agitated at her or what had been going on just a few seconds ago. “Sorry, I know you said seven but I couldn't wait!” she smiled “I have some great news!” she said excitedly

“What?” Kari asked her

“Ken and I finally started going out!” Kari laughed

“What’s so funny?” she asked

“Finally” Kari said “I have been waiting for this to happen for the longest time!”

“What?”

“Well you have been in love with each other forever haven’t you?”

“Yeah, like you and T.k” Kari bust out laughing

“You don’t know the half of it.” she said

“What do you mean?”

“If I tell you a secret, do you promise, cross your heart and hope to die not to tell ANYONE!” Kari said

“Of course”

“Im pregnant with T.k’s child.” Yolie’s pupils dilated and she let out an ear shattering scream, making Kari cover her ears and Matt run into the room.

“What!” he said, looking around for the problem.

“Does he know?” she said, pointing at Matt.

“Yeah he knows” Kari said.

Yolie's grin spread “this is so wonderful!” she said excitedly. “Im so happy for you.”

“T.k doesn't want it.”

“What?”

“He told me he didn't want the child” Kari explained

“That bastard!” Yolie said, standing up like she was about to hunt T.k down.

“Calm down Yolie” Kari said.

Yolie stopped, for her friend’s sake. “So are you coming over?”

“I guess, since you came all the way over her” Kari said, standing up and walking over to Matt. “I guess I will see you tomorrow.” She said, giving him a quick kiss. Yolie watched in horror as Kari went out the door; she took one look at Matt and took off after her friend. Matt growled, and shut the door.

“Kari, wait!” Yolie caught up to her “are you and Matt...” Kari nodded “ew! Really? Is T.k mad?”

“Well he was the one who left me so if he is he has no right to be.” She said. Yolie needed a second to register this new information.

“Well, you did say you liked him. He still freaks me out though.

“Well, he shouldn’t anymore”

“EW, were you two…and that is why he was…” Yolie’ face reddened “oh Kari!”

“Calm down, we were just kissing and…French kissing” she said, chuckling at the horrified look her friend gave her.
