CHAPTER 5

A/N: ok- so I have to admit- this isn't my best fic- I just kind of lost the story… I apologize. But the other Taiora I'm posting now 'World of Regrets,' I feel, is soooo much better. SO check that one out if your thirst for a Taiora wasn't satisfied… and as always keep your eyes peeled for more Taioras- I've got a long one coming… it's like another medieval Taiora- it's not done yet- so give me a bit yet..

--Our Family: the End or the Beginning?--

The family embraced each other as a ray of light suddenly shot out towards the tornado of red fog and energy. The tornado that was about to crash through the roof stopped instantly as the ray cut through the winds.

"And my life has always been yours, my love." Sora said as she pulled Tai closer for a passionate kiss.

As their lips met- a surge of power came off the family. The winds subsided and the red fog was destroyed.

The damage was gone. Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Sora dropped to her knees, still clinging to her child and husband. She passed out and slumped into Tai's awaiting arms.

Joe came over and made sure Sora was ok.

"She's just tired.. Tai, she'll be just fine with lots of rest."

"Thanks." Tai said

He was on his knees holding his family with in his arms. Both mother and daughter were sleeping peacefully. Tai was glad they were fine.

"We should go. The police will be here soon if Kari and the others were going to call them." Izzy said.

Tai tried to take the baby out of Sora's hands- but she awoke the second he tried.

"Don't worry- it's just me… go back to sleep." He smiled.

Tai lifted Sora off the ground. She held on to her baby as she snuggled close to Tai.

"Let's go guys." Tai said as he started walking.

The building had taken severe damage and as soon as Tai and they others exited, it collapsed.

The kidnapped people were waiting out near the docks as the police boats docked. Kari and the rest of the dig destined group ran off the boat and towards Tai.

"Oh God Tai. We were so worried." Kari cried as she ran up and embraced them. "Sora! You had the baby!"

Tai smiled down at Sora. She was once again fast asleep.

"Do you need any help there Tai?' Joe asked.

"Well, Kari, if you could gently take the baby… I don't want to risk dropping her." Tai asked.

"Oh no problem Taichi!" Kari smiled as she took the baby from Sora's sleeping hands.

"She's so perfect." Kari giggled. The ret of the group gathered around the tiny baby. Tai walked over to the police with Sora. She needed to get to a hospital.

-

Some time later everyone was in the warm hospital. The sun was now shining and the world continued as if nothing had threatened it's very existence.

Sora was resting in a hospital bed with Tai at her side. Their daughter slept in Tai's arms as he awaited Sora waking up.

It was another hour until the crimson orbs opened.

"You're up. How do you feel?" Tai asked as he sat up in the chair trying not to wake the baby.

Sora looked at the baby in his arms. Tears stung her tired eyes.

"I'm sorry Taichi." She sobbed.

"Sor? What do you have to be sorry for?" Tai looked at her confused. He would have taken her in his arms, if it weren't for the slumbering bundle occupying them.

"I know you wanted to be there when… the baby was born- I tried, I really did. I'm sorry."

"Sora. Come on. You couldn't help it- if anything- this is my fault. I left you alone to get kidnapped, and you couldn't just hold the baby in, besides." he stood up and kissed her forehead. "There'll be lots more to be to witness."

"So you're not mad?" She smiled.

"Not in the least. My love."

Tai handed her the baby. "So what's her name? We can't just keep calling her 'baby' can we?" Tai smiled.

"I don't know- Tai you pick."

"ME? Wow, you have so much faith in me. Well then how about… Daphne?

"Daphne Rose?" She asked.

"Daphne Rose it is." he smiled.

"So.. When can we go home?" Sora asked settling back into the bed.

"Soon. The doctor is just running a few more tests- you went through a lot back there… oh God Sora. I thought I had lost you again." Tears began to pool in Tai's eyes as he stroked Sora's auburn locks.

"Tai- I'll never leave you." Before she could say anymore the bundle in her arms began to move and give off a tiny cry.

"She must be hungry. The poor thing." Sora said as she rocked baby. "Hush now Daphne Rose. Momma's here and look- so is daddy."

Tai couldn't help but be proud of their accomplishment. They were now parents.

"Isn't she perfect Tai?" Sora asked as she began to feed their daughter.

Tai came out of his daydream and continued to smile.

"She's just like her mother." Tai replied.

THE END-

-

A/N: like I said it was short and I know I cold have gone into more detail with the evil and all- but I started this fic a while ago and kind of lost the spark. That spark when I write is crucial for me…I sound like I'm whining now. I hate whining… so I'll stop. Anyway- ttyl
