Is that a beached whale?

[No, no actually, that is a Sora lying on the beach in the sand, and she might lose it if you were to actually call her a whale.]

Rikka? That's the baby's name, right? You already picked a name?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he thought he had told you already, and nods*

Yes, 'Rikka' will be his name. *smiles* Because he reminds me of summer. And the name just... rolls off my tongue. Do you like it?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*is very enamored and continues to rub your belly*

But what if the baby is a girl?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

Mmm, then I have a girl's name picked out, too. But I'm expecting a boy. The whole nursery is done in blue and purple.

*gets teary-eyed thinking about it*

... I miss seeing it. But at least my baby is right here. I wonder though... what do the people on the... other side do when people get lost here? Do you think that they even know I'm gone?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he starts to feel bad that you're stuck here when you obviously have a certain life that you miss terribly*

I'm... not sure. They say time works funny here, and people don't even know you're gone, even if you've been here for months.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

What if I'm still here when Rikka is born? What then?

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

Well... I know that's happened here. At least, there was Kairi brought here practically right after she gave birth, but her baby wasn't with her.

And I think there's a couple pregnant people here, too.

*looks a little sad, but perks up, because he doesn't wanna be a wet blanket*

I'm happy I found you here, even if you're a younger, more naive you~

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*gets a bit huffy because now he feels all sorts of jealous*

Well, I'm sorry I'm not older and cooler than the Ri you're used to.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*smiles tenderly*

No, you're just as cool, just in a different way. Don't... grow up too fast, Ri.

*you'll have enough to contend with in the near future*

I love Ri so dearly. And so I can't help but love his younger self just as much.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*and he goes pink in the face again when you say that*

Yeah? You really do still feel that way bout me? I mean, the older me?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*softly*

Even moreso than I did when I was younger. You... mean the world to me. We're all a family now, and nothing can break us apart.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he likes the thought of family*

Of course we are! I'm gonna be Rikka's uncle, right? Hey, I bet that would make Namine an aunt. And Princess, too.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*he chews his lip for a second*

Yeah, there are lots of Uncles and Aunts. But since you live with us, Riku calls you 'Daddy'. He's going to be 'Papa'. And I'm of course, 'Mama'.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*frowns a bit*

That's weird. Isn't Riku the father of your baby?

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

Yep, but you joke about giving me one all the time, too.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*frowns more, looking away*

But I can't.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*raises your chin and gives you a chaste kiss*

You don't know that for sure until you try, Ri.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*twitches a little*

It's okay, Sora. I'm alright with not having kids of my own. I know what Vexen did to me. And Namine doesn't want kids anyway.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*okay, and he'll show you how much he's learned in the future about you*

Yeah, well my Ri doesn't give up before he even tries. And you won't either. You're going to become a lot stronger when you get older. Okay? You need to trust me on this.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*he's still frowning and looking a bit sad, because he doesn't see the point in talking about this particular subject*

Then the future-me must be lying to you real good. He has to know that he's infertile.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*okay, well he's going to give you hugs, his rounded belly pressed against your own*

I'd love you no matter what. But I still say you never know.

*changes the subject*

He's started kicking again... !

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*flails a bit when he feels fluttery kick*

I FELT THAT! Can I-- can I touch?!

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*raises up his shirt and traces your hand up from his navel to rest on the highest swell and keeping it firmly planted there*

Feel him? You... you can even talk to him, and he'll move around. He can't see or understand you, but you and Riku sound so similar that he responds to both of you when you talk to him. Say hi.

[windup-boytoy.livejournal.com]

*looks a bit nervous and leans down towards your belly*

HI RIKKA. CAN YOU HEAR ME?
