Digimon: Heroes 2.0 Episode 22

*Buffalo State College, late morning. It was now the year 2012. Robert was sitting at his desk, while listening to his professor's lecture*

Professor: What Twain at the end of Huck Finn was saying is that real freedom can only be found when you don't stay in the same place at the same time. A similar message was projected in the movie Easy Rider. In Finn, the freedom was found on the river like how Billy and Wyatt found the same freedom on the road.

*Just then, a lone hand from within the classroom raised upwards, capturing the professor's attention. It was Renamon's*

Professor: Um…Yes, Renamon?

Renamon: Yes, does that mean that both Mark Twain and Peter Fonda have similar views on American values?

Proffessor: Well…Yes, I suppose. Very good observation.

Renamon: Ah, just what I thought. Thank you.

Professor: You're welcome, your majesty. Now, moving on...

Robert: *looks at Renamon and smiles* Improving everyday.

Renamon: Thank you, Robert. I've been reading a lot lately.

Robert: Good way to learn more about us humans.

Renamon: That's why I'm doing it.

Professor: Mr. Willis! Is there something you'd like to share?

Robert: Just complimenting my partner, sir. Sorry.

Professor: Very well, just remember that you will be tested on this material on finals

Robert: Yes, sir.

Professor: As for you, Renamon. Queen or not, I expect the same from you.

Renamon: Yes sir.

*Later that day, after class, Robert and Renamon were hanging out inside his dorm room, watching TV*

Robert: Eva's coming over soon. She said she's bringing a friend.

Renamon: Oh really, do you know who?

Robert: I think it could be Rachael. Eva's been talking about her a lot recently.

Renamon: Oh really. What has she been saying about her?

Robert: That she's gonna have a baby in a month or so.

Renamon: Oh…She's pregnant…Um…Is it a boy or a girl?

Robert: Not too sure.

*Just then, there was a knock at the door. Robert got up and answered it. There, stood Eva, Gatomon, and their friend Rachael, who's belly was as big as a bowling ball*

Robert: Hi girls.

Rachael: Hi, you must be Robert, Eva told me so much about you. *looks over at Renamon* I know you, Queen Renamon. You looked great on TV.

Renamon: Thank you very much.

Robert: *sees Rachael's belly* So, is that your baby in there, or did you swallow a bowling ball?

Eva: Eight months. She got the ultrasound the other day and we found out that it's a boy.

Robert: Oh, congratulations! So, who's the dad?

Rachael: My finance, Daniel. We're holding off on the wedding until we graduate.

Robert: *to himself* Wedding. Hmm…

Gatomon: You're lucky, Rachael. In the Digital World…Digimon don't give birth. In fact…there are no parents.

Rachael: Really? How does that work?

Renamon: Well, we just materialize as eggs in a special nursery where we hatch and grow into Digimon.

Robert: Whoa…

Renamon: That's the watered down version, really. There's actually a lot more to it, I just didn't want to bore you with details.

Rachael: Oh…that's…kinda sad.

Renamon: I know, I wish it was more like what you humans have. It must be wonderful to feel that little life inside you.

Rachael: Well, come listen for yourself. *lifts up her shirt, revealing her swollen belly* If you're lucky, you might feel him kick.

Gatomon: Ooh! You're belly button's sticking out!

*Renamon walks up and gently places her paw on Rachel's extended belly to feel the child within her*

Renamon: Wow…*begins to feel the same area on her stomach*

Eva: Hear anything?

Renamon: *places her ear next to Rachel's stomach* A slight heartbeat.

Gatomon: Ooh! Really?

Renamon: Yes…*a small tear begins to run down her cheek* I'm sorry, it's just so beautiful. You humans are so lucky.

Rachael: Thank you, your majesty. *puts her shirt back down* I wanna invite you to the baby shower if that's okay.

Renamon: Oh, that sounds wonderful.

Eva: We would all love to go.

Robert: Yeah, even me. *chuckles*

Gatomon: Sounds fun.

Renamon: *turns away* I…I've got to go back to my palace…I'll see you again soon. *vanishes into thin air*

Robert: Renamon, wait!

Eva: Wow…I don't think I've ever seen Renamon like that.

Robert: I hope she's okay.

*Later, in the Digital World, Renamon wondered through the hallways of her palace, looking at the military vehicles stationed out on the front lawn. She sighed sadly and headed towards her throne room. Just then, d'Arcmon appeared behind her, looking concerned*

d'Arcmon: Your highness, are you feeling alright?

Renamon: d'Arcmon, why are we born from eggs?

d'Arcmon: Um, pardon?

Renamon: Why are we born from eggs? Why can't we have natural births like humans?

d'Arcmon: I don't know your majesty, I just know that's not how it works. Also, you were not born from an egg like the rest of us, remember?

Renamon: I know, Superimon created me. But why can't we give birth instead of what we do now?

d'Arcmon: I told you before, I do not know. Why do you keep asking?

Renamon: Well it's just that…Um…*starts to rub her stomach* I want a baby.

d'Arcmon: WHAT?!?!

Renamon: I want a baby, d'Arcmon. An actual child, not just something I can pick up out of a field of eggs. I want to feel what it's like to have one grow inside of me. I want to raise a child in my own image. Is that too much to ask for?

d'Arcmon: I…I…I'm not sure. Although, your word is law. But how do you propose to accomplish such a task?

Renamon: I'm not sure. *sighs* I guess it is too much to ask for.

d'Arcmon: Alright. Will you be needing anything else from me, my lady?

Renamon: No, that's all.

d'Arcmon: *bows* Very well…*turns around* You could try asking one of the programmers…it's just an idea. *flies off*

Renamon: *to herself* But what will I tell them?

*Later that night, New York city. Renamon ran atop the roofs of the buildings as snow gently fell from the sky. She then came upon an apartment complex and teleported inside. She stood in front of a room door with the numbers C23 next to it*

Renamon: *sighs* Hope this works. *knocks on the door*

*There was a moment of silence. Just then, the door slowly opened, revealing Mr. Moresey, dressed in pajamas*

Mr. Moresey: Do you know what time it i- *sees Renamon* Oh, Renamon! This is a surprise. Won't you come in?

Renamon: Thank you. *walks inside*

Mr. Moresey: How can I help you?

Renamon: *sits down on the couch* I want a child

Mr. Moresey: *looks confused* Uh…Come again?

Renamon: I want to give birth to a child of my own.

Mr. Moresey: Oh god…Uh…I don't know what to say…

Renamon: Please, can you help me?

Mr. Moresey: *sighs* Alright, I'll do it. But only because of what you did for us humans. Now, is this a lone pregnancy, or have you chosen a mate for this procedure?

Renamon: Um, I haven't really chosen a mate. Maybe if you could find some way I could have the child on my own.

Moresey: Alright, lone pregnancy it is.

*Moments later, Mr. Moresey had Renamon laying on a couch with her stomach hooked up to his PC*

Mr. Moresey: What I'm trying to do here is something similar to the regular Digimon birth program. Essentially, instead of the Digimon inside of an egg, it will develop completely inside you. Much like a human child. *sighs* I'll be honest though. I'm not sure how the child will turn out, this sort of thing has never been tried before and there's no knowing for sure until it's born. Are you sure you still want to go through with it?

Renamon: *nods* I'm positive.

Mr. Moresey: *starts typing in the sequence* Very well. Here's hoping. *hits the enter key*

Renamon: *writhes around in pain* AAAHHH!!! AAAAHHHH!!!!

Mr. Moresey: Keep it together your highness, just a few more seconds.

Renamon: *clenches her teeth* And I thought…conceiving would be…pleasurable!! URG!!!

Mr. Moresey: And…We're just about…Finished!

Renamon: AUGH!!! *calms down, breathing heavily* So…did it work?

Mr. Moresey: I do believe it did. We won't know for sure until the morning.

Renamon: I'm…so tired…can't get up…

Mr. Moresey: Oh dear, um, do you have a ride?

Renamon: N-No…*falls asleep*

Mr. Moresey: *sighs* Goodnight, Renamon…let's hope for the best.

???: We can only.

Mr. Moresey: *gasps and turns around* Who's there?!

*Trenchcoat then emerged from the shadows*

Trenchcoat: Hello, don't mind me, just a friend to the throne.

Mr. Moresey: I know who you are…but for your sake, I won't reveal anything. Now, why are you here?

Trenchcoat: I'm just here to take her highness back home. *approaches Renamon and examines her* You did something amazing here.

Mr. Moresey: *nods* I know, it took a lot out of the both of us.

Trenchcoat: *takes a seat next to Renamon* You've defied all impossibilities and made Digimon take one giant step further in evolution than ever before. Trisha would've been proud.

Mr. Moresey: *sighs* Yeah…she would've been. *pause* Wish I could say the same for-

Trenchcoat: I know, but we won't speak of him. *turns to Renamon* This is about Trisha and what she hoped to accomplish with her work. You've taken it further then ever before, if only she was alive to see it.

Mr. Moresey: Don't remind me…Just take her home, please.

Trenchcoat: Of course. *places her hand on Renamon and they both teleport out*

*The next day, in Renamon's bed chambers, d'Arcmon walks in to see Renamon dressed in her night gown and fast asleep in bed*

d'Arcmon: Hum…Something's off. I don't know what, but something's different.

*Slowly, Renamon woke up, sat up, in her bed, and stretched her arms out*

d'Arcmon: Good morning your majesty, how are you feeling?

Renamon: I feel…sick!! *jump out of bed and rushed towards the window*

d'Arcmon: Oh dear. *rushes over to Renamon* Are you okay?

Renamon: *breaths heavily* Not really, d'Arcmon…I'm quite nauseous!! *gags* Excuse me! *vomits over the side*

d'Arcmon: Oh dear, should a fetch a doctor?

Renamon: *eyes widen in realization* No need! *looks at d'Arcmon and smiles* I'm going to have a baby!! *hugs d'Arcmon*

*This information shocks d'Arcmon, as seen by the expression on her face. All she could do is stand there, completely immobile*

*An hour later, Renamon was in Robert's dorm room, explaining everything to him, Eva, and Gatomon*

Robert: *stunned pause* Oh my god…

Eva: Wow…Just, wow.

Gatomon: That's amazing! Why don't Angelomon and I have kids? We ARE married, after all.

Renamon: It's complicated, I had to go to Moresey for it to be possible.

Robert: Moresey! Of course!

Renamon: That's right. He was a bit shocked by the idea at first, but he soon was willing to help.

Robert: Was this because of Eva's friend yesterday?

Renamon: A little bit. I'll be honest, I've always been curious about the whole giving birth thing.

Gatomon: From what I heard, it's painful…but worth it. So, how long will it be before we see the egg…or baby?

Renamon: Well, Moresey said there wouldn't be an egg, so I can guess it's going to be a live birth. As for how long it's going to take…Well, that's anyone's guess.

Eva: *eyes widen* Uh…

Robert: Eva, what is it?

Eva: Her stomach…it's moving!

Renamon: What? *looks down to notice a small but sudden expansion*

Gatomon: Whoa!

Renamon: Ooh, look at that.

*Suddenly, Renamon's belly began to extend some more, until it looked somewhat plump*

Robert: Holy- What just happened?!

Renamon: I don't know, but it's starting to hurt a bit.

Eva: Renamon, you look like you're about three months pregnant now!

Renamon: Really?! Oh my, it's going faster than expected.

Robert: Oh boy! I don't know how to deal with something like this! *sits down on his bed*

Eva: I don't know either. Rachel I'm fine with, but nothing like this. No offense.

Robert: I'm just glad her naval hasn't popped outward yet…Good thing, because I don't think you even have one.

Renamon: Yeah, but I've got a lot to get ready for and I still need to tell the Heroes.

Eva: Well I have an idea of where to get started.

*Later, at Heroes HQ, Joey and the other Heroes get a video message from Robert*

Joey: WHAT?!?!

Robert: *on the screen* That's right. Which means I'm going to be the godfather, and you get to be…Uncle Joey!

Jermaine: For real?! Are we being punk'd?

Robert: Well, your proof should be with you in three…two…one!

*Just then, there was a bright white light. When it faded, Renamon was standing in the room, dressed in her royal attire and with a distended belly*

Renamon: Um, hello everyone.

Ponymon: *gasps* Oh my!

Nathan: Whoa! Um…dude, I don't know what to say…

Bridgette: *eyes widen* EEEE!!!! *runs to Renamon and hugs her* Congratulations!!

Sam: Um, I spilled my soda in shock.

Floramon: I congratulate you as well, your majesty! You must be very happy!

Renamon: I am, but I'm also a little worried. I have a lot of preparing to do.

Tentomon: I agree. From what I've learned, preparing for a newborn baby is tedious work!

Brad: Plus there are pre-birthing procedures

Joey: I'm still in shock here! Renamon, are you sure you want to be a mother?

Renamon: I'm positive.

Joey: *pause* What if it asks about it's father one day…what will you do then, hmm?

Antylamon: *looks concerned* Oh dear.

Robert: *on the screen* Joey's right. It's not easy growing up without a father in your life.

Renamon: Well, I suppose I could arrange for a suitor or something, I don't know. There really is a lot to think about. *shakes her head and looks at the Heroes, looking confident*

Antylamon: It's alright, we didn't mean to freak you out or anything. We're just looking out for you and the child.

Renamon: Thank you, Antylamon, but I think the child will be fine without a father. When the day comes…I'll tell my baby the truth.

Joey: If you're that sure…then I hope you'll be a great a mom as mine.

Robert: *on the screen* Same here, partner.

Renamon: Thank you all for your support. Well, I have to get going, Eva signed me up for these classes. They're some new combination of Lamaze and yoga. Supposed to really help with labor pains.

Geri: *laughs* Wait till your teacher sees your palace!

Renamon: I can only imagine her reaction.

Antylamon: Well, see ya!

Renamon: Bye everyone. *teleports out in a bright flash of light*

*Later that day, d'Arcmon was escorting a young Indian woman through the castle. The woman was wearing a green sari with gold lancing and sandals. Her hair done up within a long braided ponytail. Her eyes were jade green and she wore a large pair of silver hooped ear rings. Under each arm she carried a rolled up yoga mat*

d'Arcmon: So Asondi, how do you like the palace?

Asondi: It's very nice, d'Arcmon, and those soldiers were surprisingly nice.

*Just then, Renamon approached the two, now dressed in a pair of spandex shorts and a tank top*

d'Arcmon: *eyes widen* Your…majesty?

Renamon: I know, I thought I'd dress light for this.

Asondi: A wise choice. As glorious as your royal vestments may be, it's a good idea to dress light for activity of this kind.

Renamon: Thank you so much for coming, it means a lot to me now that I'm going to be a mother.

Asondi: Yes, this is what I do. Now, since your pregnancy seems to be faster than a regular human's, we'll have to skip a few unimportant steps.

Renamon: Proceed.

Asondi: Very well. *lays down the yoga mats* Come, sit with me. *sits cross legged on one of the mats*

Renamon: *sits cross legged on one of the mats* Alright.

Asondi: Now, breathing is an extremely essential. What I'll be doing is teaching you how to use your breath to both ease the labor pains and quicken the birthing process.

Renamon: I feel like I'm training with Wizardmon all over again. *chuckles*

Asondi: *chuckles* Very good. Now, what I want you to do is get into the birthing position, legs open, slightly bent, and taking slow and deep breaths.

Renamon: Huh? Well…okay. *gets into position and takes deep breaths*

Asondi: That's it, your doing great. When the time comes, you can use your breath to really move things along.

Renamon: *breathes in* Thank you. *breathes out*

Asondi: You are quite welcome, your highness.

Renamon: *thinking to herself* This is a drastic change for me, for everyone. Taking care of a child is a huge responsibility…But it's a labor of love and the sacrifices made are more than worth it.
