48Gotta Be You
a yamato and mimi fanfiction
I didn't realize that some of you guys were confused with the setting of the story! I apologize! I guess I assumed that since Disneyland was mentioned a few times that you guys would just know that they lived in LA. So sorry! Let's just say that they've been there all their life for the sake of the story.
I cried a little while writing this, okay? Just… read it!
a few months later…
"I. Am. So. FAT!" my beautiful wife screamed from her bedroom upstairs before throwing a pillow down the stairs. Sighing, I got up from my very comfortable spot on the couch, grabbed the pillow, and slowly walked up the stairs readying myself for Mimi's mood swing.
"Babe," I called out and cautiously peeked my head through the door to the room. There she stood in front of the full-length mirror, glaring at herself. She was wearing a loose white maternity shirt and black shorts. Her stomach was bulging out. She is five months pregnant after all.
"Shut up, Matt! Don't even say it!" She snapped, the hair from her ponytail swaying behind her as she glared at me. I threw my hands up in surrender. I've been doing nothing but showering her with compliments ever since she started showing. She would just tell me to shut it, that I didn't understand, and that it was my fault she was like this.
"Okay, fine," I replied and made my way for the stairs. I have no idea what to do with that woman. One minute she wants to cuddle and the next she's willing to commit murder.
"Oh! Matt," she called to me in her sing-song voice.
Cringing, I turned around mentally preparing myself for whatever was coming next. "Yes, dear?"
She flashed me her bright smile and asked, "Can you drop me off at the hospital in an hour? I've got an appointment." I smiled back and nodded. She was probably going to see the doctor about how she's regained most of her memory now.
After figuring out that all she needed was a trigger to help her regain her memory, all of our friends have spent the past few months just trying to get her to remember things. We've been very successful so far but Mimi hasn't exactly said, 'I love you' yet and we're still not sleeping in the same bed. At least we're kissing though. I can't complain about that.
An hour passed and Mimi came downstairs and told me that we had to get going or else she'd be late. Grabbing my keys, I led her out the door and we were off. In the parking lot of the hospital I asked her if she wanted me to come with her.
"Umm…" she pursed her lips and thought hard. "No it's okay. Can you wait for me here though? I won't be long, I promise!"
"Do I have a choice?" I asked her, pretending to be annoyed. She laughed, kissed me on the cheek, and she was off.
"Everything is looking great! Your baby looks healthy and is growing at a steady and normal rate," my doctor explained to me as we both gazed at the ultrasound screen. The image of the baby in my stomach was enough to bring me to tears. They fell down my face as I studied the baby on the screen that was growing inside my belly. "It's a beautiful thing, isn't it?" I just nodded my head, bringing my hand to my mouth. "I hope you don't mind me asking, Mrs. Ishida, but where is your husband right now?"
My head shot up to look at her. "Oh, umm… Things are a little complicated right now and…" The doctor gave her a sad look. "But we're totally okay! Things just happened. Ahah, it's a bit hard to explain. He's waiting in the parking lot."
Changing the subject immediately, the doctor asked with a smile, "So, do you want to know what you're having?"
"A human baby, I hope?" Mimi answered playfully. "I'd love to find out!"
Mimi was practically skipping (well I'm sure she would have been if she could) when she came back to the car. She went over to my side and told me to get out of the car and close my eyes. "What's this all about?" I asked, trying to take a peek but her small hand covered my eyes.
"Okay, open!" she said happily. In front of me was an ultrasound picture.
I stared at it. Then looked at her. Then stared at it some more before taking it in my own hands and studying every last detail of it. "This is…"
"It's our baby girl," she said softly and I could feel her eyes on me the whole time but I couldn't bring myself to look away from the picture.
A lovely baby girl… a little princess. In about four months, Mimi and I will be taking care of this little angel.
I took my eyes off the image and stared deep into Mimi's eyes and sunk to my knees. Placing both of my hands gently on her swollen stomach, I brought my face close to it. "Hi, baby girl. We're going to take such good care of you," I started as tears began to well up in my eyes. "You've got such a pretty mommy and hey, your daddy isn't too bad looking either. Actually, he's pretty hot." Cue Mimi rolling her eyes. "We're going to be looking forward to seeing you in a few months. You take care in there, okay?" I smiled as I lifted Mimi's shirt to expose her stomach. I could hear her small gasps for air as she cried to herself. Placing a small kiss on her stomach, I got back on my feet and cupped her face with both of my hands.
She grabbed the sides of my shirt and we both leaned in until our lips touched. In that parking lot was where we shared the most intimate kiss we've ever had. Her tongue danced with mine as she pressed her stomach against my abdomen. After we slowly pulled away, I gave her a trail of kisses to her ear and whispered, "I love you so much, Mimi."
Pulling me away, she placed her hands on either side of my face and replied, "I love you too." She flashed me her ever charming smile and kissed me again.
Life was great.
"Hi," the familiar voice of my wife said as the door to the room I was sleeping in opened.
Putting my phone down, I glanced at her and smiled. "Hey, babe. What brings you here? Looking for… some?" I asked, giving her a playfully seductive look as I raised my pelvis up in the air.
"W-what?" She gasped, her face turning bright red. "No, you idiot! Nevermind!" She exclaimed, spinning back around and headed out the door.
Jumping out of bed, I ran over to her and caught her tiny wrist in my much larger hand, pulling her against me. "I'm kidding, Meems. Was there something you wanted?"
Her face was still a shade of pink when she turned around to face me. "Umm, well you see…" She started, fiddling with her fingers and staring at the wooden floor. "I was wondering if maybe you wanted to… Uh… Sleep next to me tonight?" When I didn't say anything, she continued, "W-well, if you wanna, the room's unlocked." With that, she left.
And I soon followed.
"It's a girl? Dude, congrats!"
A bottle of beer was lifted up into the air. "To Matt!"
Everyone else in the group raised their drinks in the air as well and clinked them together. "To Matt!"
"Let's hope he doesn't screw up in raising the first of the next generation!"
They all brought down their drinks laughing, all of them slightly buzzed. It was a guys' night out at a bar they all liked to go to when these gatherings happened. All of the guys were present: TK, Ken, Izzy, Jou, Davis, and even Tai was there. It was just us and none of our ladies were present.
After chatting, yelling at each other about random things, and screaming at the game playing on the flat screen, the guys ran over to a corner to play some beer pong. I noticed Tai sitting at the bar, drinking by himself and looking up at the flat screen.
"Hey, you don't wanna join them?" I asked, sitting down next to the big haired soccer star.
He glanced at me from the corner of his eyes first, then turned his seat to face me. "Why'd you invite me? You obviously have a reason to still be mad at me. We're celebrating Mimi's pregnancy, right?" He asked, but stopped me before I could reply. "I hope you didn't forget that I almost ended it because I've been feeling like shit these past few months thinking I almost ended Mimi's happiness forever."
"Look," I started, forcing myself to place a hand on his shoulder. "What you did… In some weird way, brought Mimi and me closer together. After the car accident, things have been really hard for us. The incident with you opened her eyes to the fact that I was there for her always, and it made me realize how in love I was with her and how desperate I was for her to fall in love with me again. I've never wished something like what you did to happen to Mimi, but in some sick and twisted way, I have to thank you for where it brought me and her."
He nodded his head and I could still that it would take time for him to forgive himself even though I already had. "Thanks, man, but you know that's not enough to settle my mind. I'm going to need Mimi's forgiveness if I'm going to get past any of this."
"I know. Trust me, Mimi's not the type to hold a grudge no matter how big something is. She'll come around. You just need to give her time. But seriously man, when she's ready to talk she will. Just don't come around her forcing her to do anything, alright?" I warned him, my eyes turning dark at the thought of things happening again.
He just nodded and forced himself to smile.
"I'm really glad you're here you know," I said honestly, looking down at the floor.
It was his turn to glare at me. "You sound really gay right now," he joked.
"Whatever!" I yelled at him, turning a pale shade of red before getting up walking over to the other guys. He followed soon after, still messing with me about our sappy conversation.
"Have you guys thought of a name yet?" the younger of the Kamiya siblings asked excitedly as she lay on her stomach.
I let out a small laugh, "No, not yet! Gosh, we just found out yesterday, Kari!"
We were all hanging out in my bedroom since the boys were out at a bar tonight. I looked around the room and smiled, feeling so grateful that I had girls like these in my life. I was sitting on the bed leaning on the headboard, Kari was across from me, Yolei on the floor next to the bed, Zoe next to her… The only one missing was Sora.
I sighed at the absence of the red head. Feeling like she had the right to know what went down between me and Tai, I told her about it. She didn't take it very well, stormed out, and I haven't heard from her since. It's been three months now.
"So, progress?" Yolei chimed into the conversation. "Remember anything new or interesting that you care to share?"
"Umm, well… Not really, but…" I paused, thinking hard if I should mention what happened last night. "We slept together last night," I admitted, my face turning a bright red.
"What?" Zoe asked, surprised. "Like, had sex all the way?"
"Huh? No, no! Like, we slept in the same bed. I mean, he wanted to, but god, I haven't been in the mood to do anything like that in months!" I explained to the three girls before me. They all looked somewhat disappointed. Before I could say anything else, the doorbell rang. "I wonder who that is…" I thought out loud before climbing off the bed and making my way to the door.
"Hey, Mimi…" the redhead greeted me as she looked me up and down. "Wow, you look great!" Her eyes stopped at my stomach, which was already bulging. I was five months along, after all.
"Aww, thanks Sora!" I said sweetly as I reached out to hug her. Hesitantly, she hugged me back and rubbed my back soothingly. As we pulled away, I looked at her and asked, "What brings you here? Did you drop by for our little get together?" I was hopeful that she came to hang out with us. It sure was different without her around.
She smiled softly and said, "Actually I came to talk to you about… you know who." Tai. "If you don't mind, that is…"
Sighing, I put my hands on my hips and looked up at the taller girl. "Look, Sora, I don't really want to talk about him right now. We can, of course, eventually, but I don't want something like that killing my mood." I explained. "Join us, please? We've missed having you around... Especially me. We can talk about whatever it is first thing tomorrow morning, I promise."
After a few moments of silence, she nodded her head and agreed, "Alright, what are you guys doing tonight?"
"Where's Matt?" Sora asked, sitting on a chair in the kitchen while I prepared dinner for us girls. "Actually, where are all the guys?"
"They're at a bar," I explained, flipping the pancake in the pan. Yes, we were having breakfast for dinner. According to me, since I was the pregnant one, they all had to adjust to my needs. And frankly, they were all used to this kind of behavior from me. "Matt's gonna stay over at one of the guys' house tonight so that all of us girls have the house to ourselves."
"I'm surprised you're letting him stay out like that!"
"Do I usually not?" I asked, concerned. I guess I really didn't remember everything. I just knew that I trusted Matt enough for him to hang out by himself. He is an adult, after all.
"Well, no…" Sora started. "I guess judging by his past, you never really let him out of your sight."
I began to get concerned. "Past?" Matt did explain to me how our relationship was at the start, but the Matt he told me about was a lot different from the Matt I recently fell in love with. "Well, I trust Matt now so shouldn't that be enough?"
"Yeah, you're right. Sorry for bringing it up," she apologized quickly, looking at the ground. Something wasn't right.
"Hey, is there something you really need to talk about now? Earlier ago you really wanted to talk, so I guess we can talk now."
"Are you sure?"
I just nodded.
"Tai and I are taking a break," she confessed, looking me in the eyes.
"No, no, no, no, no. You can't be serious! Y-you and Tai are meant to be together! Right? That's what everyone says so-so…"
"Mimi! Please listen to me! I-I couldn't handle it when I heard what Tai did to you, okay? Meems, you're my best friend and I stole him away from you five years ago. If it weren't for me you and Tai would have never broken up! He did love you, you know? B-but he chose me. I don't know why he-"
"Sora!" I yelled, trying to make her stop talking. "He chose you because you're it for him. They say everything happens for a reason, and I'm so happy with the turn of events. I know it's weird, but thanks to you and Tai I found Matt. Or well, he found me. So, Sora please don't feel guilty about anything. I should be thanking you!" I reached to hug her and she hugged me back, sobbing into my shoulder.
"You're so dumb Mimi!" she said into my neck. "You're too forgiving. You just don't see how much Tai and I have hurt you! I can't even imagine how much pain we've caused you."
Looking down at her, I rubbed her back reassuringly. "Keeping grudges is dumb. People do change. I believe that." The redhead just nodded and continued to cry. "Everything's going to be fine, Sor."
"Will you forgive him?" She asked, pulling away and looking at me with pleading eyes.
I nodded my head, "Yeah." Someday.
"Oh, fuck," I muttered, rubbing my eyes and trying to open them. I felt like there was something banging on the side of my head and my back was sore. The blinding sun wasn't helping my cause either. I looked around the room and saw that I was sleeping on the floor of what looked to be my little brother's living room. The smell of eggs and bacon filled the room which caused me to stand up immediately. I was starving.
As I made my way for the kitchen, I tripped on someone's foot. "Ugh! What the fuck, man?" the brunette screamed at me as I fell face first onto the wooden floor.
Taichi! "Shut up! It was your fault!"
"SHUT UP YOU TWO!" yelled Davis from the other corner of the room.
"Breakfast is ready!" TK said from the kitchen. Everyone immediately got up and headed for the food.
"Morning, babe," Matt greeted as he walked into the living room and pecked me on the lips. "Morning, baby," he greeted again, but this time to my stomach and giving it a peck.
All the other girls in the room sighed. Staring at all them a little shocked, Matt greeted them as well, "Morning, girls."
"Good morning, Matt," they all said at once, staring at him dreamily. There goes Matt, always the heartthrob.
"Don't all of you have your own boys, already?" I asked, trying to sound jealous and protective as I pulled Matt closer to me. They all laughed and I winked at my blonde haired husband. Gosh it was weird saying that. "If you'll excuse us for a second…" I pulled Matt along into the dining room. "I missed you," I said, kissing him on the cheek and wrapping my arms around his neck.
Matt picked me up and set me down on the dining table. His lips made its way to mines, then towards my right ear, down to my neck, and finally back to my lips. His arms were around my back as he pulled me closer to him, my legs on each side of his hips. "God, I am never spending a night without you ever again," he muttered as he pulled away.
Smiling to myself, I pulled him back down towards me and began giving him light kisses on his neck as he threw his head back. He groaned as I reached his Adam's apple and smirked. His weak spot.
"Hey Meems, we're gonna head ou- my god!" Yolei screamed as she and the other girls walked into the dining room. They all dropped their bags and stared at the sight before them.
Matt immediately pulled away and fixed his hair, trying to make himself look decent. I grinned at him before looking back at my girl friends. They looked as if they had just seen their mom and dad having sex. "Oh come on! It's not like you guys don't do this stuff with your guys!"
They just slowly walked out without so much of a goodbye. Can you saw awkward one more time?
Matt turned back towards me and smirked, "So what is up with us getting caught all the time? Maybe we should just take it the bedroom."
I rolled my eyes and hopped off the table. "What? I didn't hear you." I started walking back towards the living room to get back to whatever it was I watching before he came home.
He groaned, knowing there was nothing he could do for now.
There goes another fluffy chapter! And also I'm trying to tie up some loose ends and yeahh. The end is near, you guys. This story will have one or two more chapters. I know I said that I would try to prolong this story as much as I could, and I did. There really isn't much left I have planned for this story.
I also uploaded a new one shot called Magic Matt that I got inspiration from watching the movie Magic Mike starring Channing Tatum. Which is funny because I got inspiration for this story from The Vow, which also stars Channing Tatum. Haha anyways it's a fluffy Mimato lemon so please check it out if you are interested since I don't have any lemons planned for this story.
Once this story is done, I plan on writing another Mimato chapter fic, so please don't leave me yet! (: Thanks, everyone!
