Chapter 1
The Surprises
Almost 9 months later
Alec walked around the mansion very slowly, she walked into Seto's home office, and Seto was at his lab top typing a letter. Alec knocked on the door; Seto looked up from his work, he was wearing glasses. "Hey, chubby, how is the pot roast?" he asked with a smug look on his face taking off his computer glasses, that he needed to wear while working on the computer.
Alec laughed, "Is that what you want to name your child Pot Roast, Four eyes?" she asked sarcastically while calling Seto a name. Seto laughed, "Hey, I am not the one with a 9 month baby that is due any minute, besides you know my eyes were starting to mess up, so quit picking on me, about them" he said with a smile.
Alec's pregnancy was a miracle and everything seems to be fine so far, "Fine I will stop," she said. "Good now let me finish working," he said, "I don't have to baby you like you told me for the last three days," he said putting on his glasses and going back to work.
Alec raised an eyebrow, "You know you helped make this bun in the oven," she said. Seto lowered his head, and then looked at Alec taking off his glasses again, "At least we know that it will be our souvenir for that honey moon we took after the cancellation of that tournament," he said with a smirk. Alec laughed, walked over to Seto and gave a quick kiss on the lips.
She took her hand and placed it on his shoulder, "So, what does Kaiba Corp want their CEO to do at 6:00am to call, wake you, and your pregnant wife up to do," she said. Seto laughed, "Turns out that the companies stock just shot up 10 points and I need to send in this statement to the press then I am coming back to bed," he said.
Alec looked at the lab top it had over two pages of writing, "All this for just 10 points Seto come on," she said. Seto laughed, "Well the press wants to see how their so call next world champion is doing," he said moving his eyes towards Alec's stomach.
Alec glared, "Seto leave them to me, I may be with child right now but I can still stand in front of a camera on my own," she said. Seto laughed at that for he remembered last time she stood in front the media, "Yeah last time you did, you thought that you were going into labor," he said with a chuckle.
Alec glared, "Seto, you know that was a false alarm," she said. Then Seto added, "Like the last three times," he said. Alec stopped talking and placed her one of her hands on her stomach she felt something, "Seto the baby just kicked," she said.
Seto took his hand and moved it around Alec's stomach he felt the baby kick again, "I think that one is going to be a fighter at this rate," Alec laughed. Seto smiled, "I think she will be one tough cookie, not to mention have her mother's good looks."
Alec kissed Seto, as Alec did, she moved the mouse next to the lab top and clicked delete to a section regarding her pregnancy. Seto notice what Alec was doing suddenly when he opened his eyes to see Alec moving her hand by his lab top.
"Hey," Seto said pulling away from his wife who only smiled at him devilishly. Alec giggled, "Now you can't talk for me," she said. Seto pulled Alec down into his arms, "oh yes I can," he smirked. Alec smiled, "I know, because I am stuck with you," she said.
"Would you two cut it out, gosh you two have been like this for the last six months, and frankly I am getting a little tired of being woken up by it," said Mokuba in the doorway wearing his pajamas. Alec sat up and took a seat in Seto's lap, "Mokuba you have a problem with me and your brother goofing off around the office."
Mokuba crossed his arms, "It isn't the goofing that worries me, Alec, it is my future niece or nephew I am more worried about, and you can go into labor at any time," he said. Alec laughed, "Mokuba I may be 9 months pregnant but I am not to go into labor for a while my due date is a few weeks away."
Mokuba threw his hands in the air, "Fine what ever, Alec, just don't coming yelling to me when you find out you kid has brain damage, from you and my brother jumping around," he said turning and walking down the hall. Alec looked at Seto, "I think he been reading too many of those baby books, again," said Alec, Seto nodded in agreement.
Later that day, Alec was in the nursery fixing the bedding for the crib, Seto walked in, "Are you still trying to set that up?" he asked leaning on the door. Alec laughed, "No, I am just not sure weather or not this baby is going to be a boy or a girl," she answered trying to decide blue or pink.
Seto walked over to Alec, and turned her to face him, "Alec either way we are ready for a boy or girl, with the way that you have been acting I say girl, but the doctor did say that with the amount of hormones you been sending out that it could be a boy." Alec looked down at her bulging stomach, "Yeah it could be either, I have my ultra sound later today, so we will know then."
Seto shook his head, "I am not going to be in there, I want the surprise when they pull you out of the delivery room and hand me the kid. I don't want to have the prediction stuff again," he said, "We both know we don't believe in it." Alec laughed at Seto, "Seto up to six years ago you liked everything to be known but now you rather have the surprise, is something wrong?" she asked.
Seto thought about it he loved to predict the out come of things so that they were his way, but since Alec became pregnant, again he has wanted surprises, he moved Alec's long blue hair and kissed her on the cheek, "I want the surprises because that is what makes life more fun for me and you, now" he said.
Alec laughed and moved away from the crib towards the door, "Seto you, think I am falling for that, come on "surprise make life more fun" you really think I don't know you that well? Come on your hiding something now spill it," snapped Alec.
Seto let out a sigh, "Ok you caught me, I tried to delay it but you know how Sara likes to come when ever you're in two places either in danger or something about to happen," said Seto going in to a monotone voice. Alec shook her head, "Seto please tell me that she isn't coming just to baby me!"
Seto looked at Alec without saying a word, Alec at that moment knew, "Oh Seto, she is coming here isn't she! This is just great; bad enough that Yugi has been on my case for the last three months about baby stuff, from names to college funds," she said.
Alec rolled her eyes at the thought as she spoke, "but Sara can we say 'hell' has been unleashed upon me," she said.
Seto walked over to Alec, "Now it isn't that bad is it?" Alec had her hands on her face, "Seto remember when she was pregnant and I went to Egypt to help her, she through a freaking fit when I tried to help her take care of her and Melissa."
Seto took Alec around the shoulders, "Alec, Sara has been a mother now for, almost three years and maybe it is time that you admit you need help in this," he said. Alec took her hands from her face and looked at Seto, "Seto I don't want her around me right now and I don't need her help, I am quite capable of having this baby without her coaching and nagging."
Seto let out a breath, Alec knew what that meant when she saw his eyes look at the ceiling, "she is already here isn't she?" asked Alec. Seto nodded with his eyes closed Alec continued, "How long?" she whined. Seto looked at his watch, "About half an hour, down stairs in the main hall."
"Actually I am in the hall now Seto," said Sara. Alec turned her head out the door of the nursery, "Hi sis, how long you been there?" asked Alec looking nervous. Sara sighed, "Um, around the 'Hell is going to unleashed on you,' part," she said.
Alec went red in the face from embarrassment. Sara laughed at Alec, "Well I guess now that you think I am bad sister," said Sara. Alec shook her head, "No, Sara just that um, dam it I am busted aren't I?" asked Alec knowing she was caught.
Sara nodded, "Oh so busted, my pregnant little sister," she said. Alec hung her head in shame with a sweat drop; she knew that Sara was going to hold this over her head for a while.
Seto looked at Alec, then at Sara, "Come on Sara go easy on the poor girl she is only about to have a baby anytime now," said Seto calmly. Sara laughed, "Seto when I need your advice about my sister, I will ask for it, anyways Alec look at me," she said.
Alec looked up at her older sister, "Now look, I know three years ago I was a pain butt I won't be that way with you, besides you should be jumping around the mansion, you are going to be having a baby. I did not come at Seto's request so you can stop giving him the look I see it coming from the corner of your eye. I came because Yugi told me that you needed some family around besides Seto, Mokuba, and himself," she said.
Alec was glaring at Seto from the corner of her eyes, when she was looking down, she turned here gaze towards Sara "Yugi told you to come all the way here from Egypt!" exclaimed Alec. Sara nodded, "Yeah isn't that sweet of you little bio brother?" asked Sara.
Alec rolled her eye, "Yeah gives me another reason to take his title of Duel Monsters, now," she sneered. Sara laughed, "Well can't blame the man from trying to watch out for his sister," she said. Sara picked up her bag off the floor, "Well I better go and check on Melissa, she is down on the bottom steps of the stairs," Sara turned and walked away.
Alec looked at Seto, "She can't stay here with Melissa; I will rather go in to labor early then have her here," snapped Alec as she walked away and off towards her office. Seto stood in the doorway, "Ok, that was interesting," he said to himself.
Seto walked back over to the crib, he moved a few of the pillows around, feeling a little satisfied with the room he walked out and shut the door behind him. Seto walked down the stairs to the second floor which Alec's office and their little romantic room; he headed for the romantic room he had not been there for the last 9 months.
The room was pink painted walls, the large king size bed with the giant red curtains hung from the posts. He walked into the room and sat on the bed, thinking to himself. He could not believe that his kid was to be born any minute, and it took a place like this to make it happen, at least the room resembled the one they stayed in while in on their 2nd honeymoon. Seto looked at the walls; he saw where Alec had placed the Millennium Sword on the wall with another sword that she used to swing around when they were both younger after leaving Gosaburo's mansion.
Seto thought back to a years ago when Alec lost her first baby, how devastated she was, to the point were she could not talk about it without crying. Now his wife was slowly putting her self-back in to that position again, but this time he would be in the car to protect her.
Seto thought about how him marrying Alec had changed him, he was still one of the most greedy men out there, but when took that vow to love, cherish, and to hold Alec for the rest of his life, he came to realize that his life was not that bad.
Seto thought that he went into a new stage of him self; he at last knew where his heart was now. Seto was going deeper into his thoughts, he thought about how he had given up duel monsters, so he could focus more having a baby with Alec and spending time with her then she went and started dueling it was hard for him to keep his hands off her deck.
Seto was almost ready to scream at himself, he let his work schedule change from all day to middle of the night to lab top work in the middle of the day. Seto realized that he was fighting himself, his business half with his heart for Alec and their soon to be born child.
A knock on the door took Seto out of his deep thoughts, he looked up and Alec was standing in the doorway. Alec's blue hair hanging down over her shoulders, her stomach stretching out in maternity clothes, Seto wanted to just rip the baby out of her so that she could look skinny again, but even though he wanted to, he had to admit that Alec still looked beautiful, with child or not.
"Hey you ok?" she asked to Seto stepping in to the room. Seto was now looking at the floor, "I am fine," he said taking a deep breathe. Alec moved and sat next to him, "No your not, want to talk?" she asked.
Seto looked up at her, "Alec…" he paused then turned away. Alec's eye grew concerned, "Seto, what's wrong?" Seto turned toward Alec again, "I was just thinking that's all, about some things."
Alec touched Seto's face, "look what ever it is you can tell me. I mean we are married even though I know you like the back of my hand," she said. Seto took Alec's hand, "Alec I have changed, I went from being a mean and viscous person, then I lost to Yugi and then you came back after Gosaburo was gone for good, I just don't think I can take anymore changes," Seto spoke calmly.
Alec looked into Seto's eyes, "Seto, Yugi and I did not change you; that was all, you, who made the changes and this baby are, going to changes of us all, unless you're having second thoughts about being a dad again. Is this what you are worrying about being a Dad? I know your going to be a great one," she said then kissing Seto on the cheek and stood up, "I know because you raise Mokuba so well, think about that," Seto let go of Alec's hand and watched her walk out of the room.
Seto sat there thinking about what Alec said, he realized that maybe change was not his real problem maybe it was the fact that soon he would be a real father, and that was a thought that now scared him. Alec was right, Seto thought to himself, he was the one who made those changes, without any back thoughts, he was going to be a dad and that was enough for him.
Alec left with Sara a few hours later off to the doctor for the ultra sound, Seto sat in his office as he watched them drive off in Sara's car. Sara, asked Seto to stay home and wait for Mokuba to get home from school, so that way Alec and her could have some mother-to-mother time.
Melissa was playing with her toys on one of the couches in Seto's office, Seto turned from the window and looked down at the little three year old who smile at her uncle, "Uncle Seto, some wrong?" she asked when she saw his worried face.
Seto shook he head, "Nothing's wrong, Melissa just watching you plays with your toy that's all, pretty soon you will have a cousin, and you know that." Melissa nodded, "Yep, a boy or girl, hang out with, yippy" she said in her young voice.
Melissa got up from the couch and walked over to her uncle, "Uncle Seto, can teach how play game on computer? Mom refuses teach me, Daddy learning," she asked. Seto laughed silently to him self for Melissa was still learning to speak proper for she kept forgetting to add verbs and adjectives to her sentences, "sure what game you want to learn?" he said.
Melissa jumped on her uncle's lap and pulled the lab top closer to her, she took her figure and moved the mouse arrow to the game, "That one," she said. Seto looked at the icon, which Melissa moved the pointer to it was the duel monsters chess game that Alec and he, created back when they were under the control of Gosaburo about 11 years ago. Seto opened the file, "ok ready to learn how to play?" he asked. Melissa smiled, "ready."
Meanwhile Sara was driving the car and Alec in the passenger seat, "Ok, now that I have you away from the mansion, you want to talk." Alec had been looking out the window she was not listening to what Sara had just said. "Hello earth to pregnant sister, Alec!" Alec shook her head, "What, Hun?"
Sara laughed, "Hey you ok?" Alec looked at her sister, "Yes and No." Sara looked at her, "Ok spill it Alec," she said. Alec let out a sigh, "I don't think I am going to be a very good mom, I mean look at me, Sara I am nine months pregnant and I am having second thoughts about being a mother," she said.
Sara let out a huge laugh, "Alec you sound like me when I found out I was going to be having Melissa, look you have nothing to worry about, and you're a career mom, with a good husband and enough love in your own heart to fill three households, I should know your brother and you share it."
Alec glared, "Sara I am not that loving," she said in defense. Sara laughed, "Alec, you are looking at how you changed Seto, if it wasn't for you he would have never learn to change his hidden heart," she said.
Alec leaned back in her seat, "What is that suppose to mean?" Sara laughed, "If I recall you were the one who talked him into outing Gosaburo12 years ago after the stabbing incident," she said. Alec shook her head, "That was both of our idea, just that I handed him Kaiba Corp, which sometimes I think was a mistake."
Sara then motioned with her hand, "And then he lost his heart and became ruthless for that, then Yugi beat him, our Uncle Max kidnapped Mokuba, do I need to go on?"
Alec turned her head towards her sister, "Sara those don't count I didn't help Seto change from heartless bad guy at that time," she said. Sara laughed again, "Alec if I recall weren't you the one who brought back that evil Seto from the shadow realm to battle Yugi after Pegasus tried to kill him," she said.
Alec completely forgot about that moment, she had to go to the shadow realm using the millennium sword and retrieve the part of Seto that was sent to the shadow realm by Yami from the first duel, "Don't remind me, please Sara, I did what I had to do to survive under our crazy Uncle both of them," she said.
Sara nodded, "Any ways as I was saying, after that Seto went through that memory event with Yugi, remember that?" Alec nodded, "how can I forget that was the first time Seto realized he cared about some one, in a past life," she said. Sara nodded, "And it reminded him of you, remember the phone call he gave you when he got back to Kaiba Corp after that incident?" she asked.
Alec sighed, "That wasn't a very pleasant conversation he didn't put Kisara and me together until I was dead remember that? Also the time before that he called me after battle city," she snapped. "Yes I do actually and you two talked about an arrangement of subjects," she said, "You just hadn't seen him until a month before my wedding," she said.
Flash back 6 years ago
Alec thought back, she was in Egypt with Sara working on a dig when Marik walked up with her cell phone. "Hey Alec this phone call is for you the man says he needs to talk to you," he said. Alec walked over and took the phone, "Hello Alexandra here."
Seto's voice on the other line, "Hi Alec long time no talk to," he said. Alec nearly jumped out of her boats, "Seto what are you doing calling me, you know that there are bounty hunters still after me, still." Seto laughed, "Alec, Gosaburo disappeared more then 6 years ago and besides I found were the bastard was hiding and blew him up, three weeks ago," he said.
Alec nearly jumped her heart sank, "Then you know about Noah don't you?" she said. Seto was quiet, then he spoke, "Yes, your little spoiled brat of a cousin tried to take over my body along with Mokuba's, Yugi and a few other people, using the big 5," snapped Seto.
Alec felt horrible, "I guess this is why you're calling me? You probably know how Noah got in their in the first place, then," she said. Seto sighed, "No, and I don't care that you put him there I can tell by your voice it was done against your will," he said.
Alec let out an angry sigh, "Then why you call me?" Seto spoke, "Maybe because I wanted to say "hi" I don't know, the entire fact I just faced Egyptian History 101 through Pegasus's millennium eye, which is a little bizarre," he said.
Alec nearly dropped the phone; she knew what he saw, "Want to tell me about it?" Seto spoke, "I saw you there and I was wondering why?" he snapped. Alec looked at the ground with the cell phone on her ear, she knew what he saw, and it was Kisara her self in the past.
"I don't know what you're talking about Seto," Alec lied, "Just because I dig up ruins of Ancient Egypt doesn't mean that I know every thing, who knows Seto maybe you're an incarnation of a some one important, like I care anyways," Alec snapped.
Seto at the other end was getting annoyed by Alec, "Fine that is why I called, just too see what you know," he said and hung up the phone with out saying another word. Alec on the other end, growled at the phone, then smirked, "I know something you don't, Seto Kaiba I hope you learn the hard way," she said.
Present day Alec and Sara in the car
Alec was still thinking about that phone call; Sara was trying to get Alec's attention, "Hello earth to Alexandra?" said Sara. Alec broke her thoughts, "Oh sorry sis thinking again," she said. Sara shook her head, "Alec, you loved him as much then as you do now."
Alec smiled, "yep and now the two of us are having a baby." Sara smiled at her sister, "Glad to here it," she said. Sara pulled into a parking space at the doctor's office and put the car in park, "Well, we are here, let's go see the first pictures of your kid." Alec stepped out of the car but just then, something happened.
Back at the mansion, Melissa was kicking Seto's butt in Duel monster chess, she had three blues on the field and Seto had only a red eyes black dragon to defend his life points. "I go win Uncle again," said Melissa as she clicked on a blue eye dragon to attack,
Seto was ready and pushed the down card button, which was "D" on the key board. "Hey, my dragon gone?" yelled Melissa.
Seto smiled at the confused three years old, "I think I win, Melissa, meet my new dragon the Black meteor dragon, your aunt's favorite monster," he said. Melissa growled in anger she did not like to lose but Seto had let her win the last 10 games with out even touching that button also he did not act like a sore loser.
"Fair not," she yelled, "you knew pull that attack." Seto nodded, "Yeah I did know you were going to do that."
The cell phone on Seto's desk began to vibrate; Melissa reached over and handed it to Seto, "here Uncle." Seto answered the phone, it was Sara and she was in a panic state of talking, she was talking so fast and loud that Seto could under stand most of it but four words he heard loud and clear, "Alec, car, hospital, now."
Seto jumped out of his chair almost dropping Melissa to the floor she jumped to her feet just in time to hit the floor. Seto spoke into the phone, "Sara I will be at the hospital in five minutes, I will bring Melissa and Mokuba with me, stay calm."
Seto hug up his cell phone and looked at Melissa, "Sorry kid but the next game will have to wait something has happened to your aunt," he said. Melissa nodded, and ran for the door, Seto followed behind.
Seto ran up the stairs, to Mokuba's room were he was with Yamu. "Mokuba, Code B now get your ass moving," he said. Mokuba opened his door, "Alec is having the baby now!" he asked.
Seto nodded his head and grabbed his brother's arm, "Let's go now, Yamu come on you too I need someone to keep an eye on Melissa."
Yamu jumped up from the desk, which she and Mokuba had been studying from; the three ran down the stairs Melissa was standing by the front door ready to run out to the car.
Seto opened the door Mokuba and Yamu jumped into the back seat Melissa jumped into the front seat of Seto's convertible parked outside incase that Alec did go into labor at the mansion. Seto turned on the car and massed his foot down on the gas peddle, and speeding out of the driveway.
The gates fully opened just as Seto approached them, scaring Mokuba and Yamu, Melissa was laughing. Seto picked up his cell phone and called Yugi on speed dial, "Yugi this is Kaiba, Alec is at the hospital get your ass over there pronto, I am on the way there now!" he said when Yugi picked up. Yugi said some things then Seto and he hung up the phone.
Three minutes later, they were all at Domino hospital Seto pulled his car in at the parking lot next to Sara's, rent a car. Mokuba and Yamu ran faster then Seto and Melissa, because Melissa was a slow runner but Seto carried her half way to the entrance.
Sara was standing at the door, "Where is Alec?" said Seto handing Sara her daughter, Melissa. Sara took a few breaths, "First Alec is in the one of the rooms she is having contractions it could be a false alarm but I doubt it because her water did break when we got to the doctor's office. Seto I think you should know that Alec maybe in there for a while," said Sara.
Seto took a few breathes to calm him self down, "Ok Sara where do I wait or can I go in?" he asked. Sara looked at Seto, "I think you better wait out here."
Seto took a seat in one of the waiting rooms; Sara sat next to him, Melissa on her lap, Yamu and Mokuba next to her. Yugi, Tea, Joey, Tristan and Duke arrived a few minutes later, they all got the same thing out of Sara that Seto did. They waited for over two hours before the doctor came.
Seto was pacing up and down the room, he was nervous, as the doctor walked in, "Sara, I have good news, and well even better news, for your family." Seto turned and stopped pacing, and faced the doctor, "I take it you're the father to be?" said the doctor to Seto, he nodded.
The doctor took a breath, "You better come with me," he said. Seto followed the doctor out of the room, Yugi, Sara, and Melissa stuck their heads out side, Seto turned his head and glared, "You three back in there NOW!"
Sara and Melissa turned and walked away with looks of wide eyes, however Yugi stayed, "Kaiba did you forget Alec is my sister after all, if something is wrong I want to know," he snapped. Seto nodded his head and motioned for Yugi to come away from the door.
The doctor spoke, "Well first to put your worrying aside Alec is fine, she is having the baby today," he said. Seto and Yugi at the same time took sighs of relief, the doctor continued, "However, since Alec's car accident your other doctor told me that she would not be able to have a child without it killing her," he said.
Seto looked down he thought the worst Alec was going to lose the baby again. The doctor continued talking, "Mr. Kaiba you can relax Alec is going to have a very healthy baby in fact if my nurse read the ultrasound right then Alec could be having twins although her stomach isn't the correct size we might be calling you a father twice in one day."
Seto looked up at the doctor, "Alec could be having twins?" The doctor nodded, "Yes but chances for both to survive are slim, but I will do my best two save both of them. I will send my nurse to take you to Alec in a few minutes before we move her to the delivery room unless you want to see her now?" he asked.
Seto nodded his head, "I would like to before you take her in delivery," he said. The doctor agreed and pointed down the hall, Seto looked at Yugi, "Can you, tell everyone that Alec is having a baby today, however don't mention that there might being two." Yugi nodded and went back into the waiting room were he told everyone that Alec was going to be having a baby with in the next few hours.
Seto and doctor walked down the hall to a small room, the doctor knocked on the door and opened it a creak, "Alec it me, Dr. Matt, I have a visitor for you," he said. The doctor waited a few seconds Alec then spoke, "Bring him in," she said in a calm voice. Dr. Matt opened the door Seto looked into the room, Alec lay on the bed soaked in sweat but breathing normally.
Seto looked at her and went to her side, "Hey there Dragon how are you feeling?" he asked. Alec smiled, "I am about to have a baby how do you think I am feeling?" she snapped at him.
Seto chuckled, "Yeah I know bad question," he said putting up his hands in defense. Alec smiled and looked over at Dr. Matt, "Well how much longer before I can have the kid or kids?" she asked.
The doctor smiled, "we will move you over to delivery in a few minutes, and I thought you two would want a moment alone before we take you in to the delivery room to have your baby," he said. Alec smiled and thanked the doctor who then left the room closing the door behind him.
Seto moved Alec's long blue hair that was stuck to the sides of her face. Alec looked at Seto, "hey, don't worry I will be fine," she said. Seto looked into Alec's eyes, "I am not worried who said I was?"
Alec laughed, "Seto, I may be in a lot of pain right now but come on, anyone can tell it's in your eyes," she said. Seto looked at Alec with his big blue eyes, "Well, then I am a little worried, I mean look at what has happened to us over the past year…"
Alec took her figure placed it on Seto lips, "let the past stayed buried as you once told me," she said. Seto stood up and kissed Alec's forehead gently, "Thanks for changing me," he said. Alec smiled, "your welcome Seto."
The two looked into each other's eyes for a moment Alec had a contraction a few seconds later, the doctor came in just as it happened. "Well," said the doctor, "ready to be come a father, Mr. Kaiba?" Seto nodded, "Yeah lets get that kid or kids out of her."
The doctor and a group of nurses came into the room and pushed the bed that Alec was in towards the delivery room. Seto followed the group, they went passed the waiting room where everyone sat, Mokuba was standing by the door, he saw Alec and Seto, "Hey Seto, any new member yet?"
Seto turned, "Not yet but soon, were on the way to delivery next time we see, you and everyone else I am going to be a parent," he said. Alec laughed, "Sounds weird doesn't it?" she asked. Seto turned to her, "yeah it does." Seto and Alec went into the delivery section; Mokuba went back to the waiting room to give them an update.
A few more hours passed it had been more then 14 hours since Alec first went in to labor it was night now around 11:00pm. Dr. Matt entered the waiting room he looked at the sleeping people but noticed that Sara was awake, "Mrs. Ishtar can I talk to you out here?" he asked in a quiet voice.
Sara moved Melissa on to her own chair and stepped out side. "Well how is my sister doing?" Sara asked. The doctor took a breath, "Well, I would first like to say congrats you're an Aunt," he said.
Sara mouth dropped, "Wait a minute are you telling me that my sister has a baby," she said. The doctor nodded, "yes and she wants everyone, and to come see her, Alec is in room 209," he said. Sara thanked the doctor, and went back into the waiting room.
Sara nudged hard Yugi to wake him, "Hey Yugi, get up," she said. Yugi opened one of his eyes, "What, Sara? Have you heard anything?" he asked. Sara nodded, "Yeah, get up and help me wake everyone else, Alec wants to see all of us ASAP," she said.
A few minutes later, everyone was awake, and walking towards Alec's room. Sara knocked on the door, "Alec it me and everyone else, can we come in?" asked Sara as she opened the door and popped her head in; Alec lay in the bed and motioned Sara to come in with the others.
The room was large; Alec's bed pushed against the wall the end of her bed was sticking into the middle of the room. Seto was looking out the window, and had his back to them, as they walked into the room.
A table and a few chairs were on the other side of the room. A few lights were on but the room seemed to be a little dark, the blue covered walks gave it the illusion of darkness.
Sara was the first to notice that Alec had a baby in her arms, "Alec is that my niece or nephew?" she asked. Alec smiled, "this one would be your new niece, Sara," said Alec holding the little girl for everyone to see.
Sara could see the resemblance of Alec and Seto in the little girl the blue eyes and a small patch of brown hair. Yugi walked next to Alec, "she is so cute," he said. Alec smiled, at her brother, "You know Yugi, she is your niece too," reminded Alec.
Mokuba and Yamu were the next to enter the room they went to the other side of Alec on her left behind Seto, then Melissa, Joey Tea, and Duke entered and they were on Alec's right with Yugi and Sara.
Melissa placed herself at the end of the bed by Alec's feet. They all saw the cute baby girl in her arms; Seto was still facing the window with his back to them appearing to have his arms crossed.
"Hey Alec, um, did it have to take over 14 hours for you to have that baby?" asked Duke. Alec laughed, "well that is a funny thing Duke, I am glad you asked, Seto want to show them your son, too?" cued Alec. Seto turned and faced everyone, their mouths all dropped and at the same time "twins."
Alec smiled, "Yep one boy and one girl. The girl came first and the boy about 12 hours later had to have a little surgery to get him out of my rib cage but he is just as healthy as the girl," said Alec. Seto grinned, he was happy so see that the surprise fooled everyone.
"Alec, Kaiba, congratulations," said Joey, "who would have thought you two could have not one but two babies, I am shocked, now whose the dog," he said. Sara and Duke Hit Joey upside the head, "Shut up you," they both said.
Alec and Seto laughed then Alec spoke, "Thanks Joey," she said. Melissa was sitting between Alec's feet on the bed, "So what names?" she asked. Alec looked at Seto then at Melissa, "Well, your uncle and I were thinking of naming the boy, Andrew, and the girl well we can't agree on one."
Melissa looked at the girl, "I know name, and how does Kathleen?" asked Melissa. Alec looked at Seto then they looked at the baby girl, Alec looked at the baby in her arms, "Kathleen, do you like that name?" she asked the baby.
The little baby gave a little smile and moved her hands to wave at her mother and family. Alec looked at Melissa, "I take that as a yes, so we have Andrew and Kathleen Kaiba, say hello to your new family, kids," said Alec.
The two newborns gave little smiles and waves with their tiny arms, this cause everyone to laugh. A few minutes later, everyone left; Seto was still in the room when Mokuba and Sara left for home. Seto holding his daughter now in his arms, looked pleased with himself and with Alec, these two kids were his own and he knew what ever it takes he would protect them.
Alec smiled, at Seto when he took both babies in his arms and began rocking them to sleep in the rocking chair next to the bad. Alec soon fell into sleep, watching Seto. When Kathleen also called Katie and Andrew also now called Andy, were fast asleep, Seto placed little Katie in a small crib on Alec right, and next to it was another crib for Andy.
Alec opened her eyes as Seto kissed her forehead as he moved away he and Alec locked eyes. Alec smiled and looked over at her sleeping children, "Can you believe it Seto, all you and I wanted was one and look we have two, healthy and beautiful children," she said smiling.
Seto smiled, "Well they did come from a beautiful mother, she knows how to take care of herself, and right now I have to say you're positively glowing," he said. Alec gave a little smile, and laughed, "Well I do have some one to thank for helping me make these two babies," she said.
Seto leaned over and kissed Alec, "I love you and thank you for helping me become a real father," he whispered. Alec smiled, "I love you too," turning to her two newborns, "and I also love them both," she said. Seto sat down in the rocking chair and soon he was asleep, Alec then turned and on her side and feel into sleep as well.
Five days later, because of Alec's surgery she had to stay longer at the hospital, Alec and Seto were able to take Katie and Andy home, Alec was a bit nervous when she stepped out of the limo at the mansion, she had just realized that the nursery was only set up for one baby.
"Um, Seto which one are we going to be put in the nursery?" asked Alec, as she watched him step out of the limo. "Alec, do not worry I had it all taken care of," he said.
Mokuba was at the front door and opened it to let Alec who was holding Andy her arms, enter the mansion, Seto was behind her, he looked at Mokuba, "Everything set?" he asked, holding Katie in his arms.
Mokuba nodded and continued to hold the door, as Alec walked in side. The mansion was a little dark then the lights came on Yugi, Tea, Joey, Yamu, Tristan, and Sara were standing at the bottom of the stairs under a large sign that read "Welcome home Alec, Andy and Katie."
Alec was surprised, "Wow guys this is awesome," she said. Yugi stepped foreword, "Well we weren't able to put together a baby shower, we thought since you, and Kaiba were going to be busy for the rest of your lives with those two; we took upon ourselves to throw you a small family party," he said.
Alec smiled, "Thanks Yugi, and everyone." Seto walked up close behind Alec, "That isn't all come on; you need to see the new nursery," he said with a smirk. Alec noticed that Joey, Tristan and Yugi had paint on their clothes and some on their faces. "You had them do something to the nursery?" asked Alec pointing. Seto nodded, "oh I think you will like this change," he said.
Everyone walked up stairs to the nursery, Yugi was holding Andy as Alec opened the door. Alec jaw dropped as she saw the beautifully newly decorated nursery complete with little friendly blue eyes white dragon wall paper on one side and pink meteor dragons paper on the other.
Two cribs were on each side with it own dresser and dipper changing pads. Alec looked at the floor it was two different colors down one side it was red and other purple. Alec laughed when she looked at Joey and Yugi; those two had painted the carpet to match their favorite monsters, Dark Magician and Red eyes black dragon.
"Well do you like it?" asked Joey. Alec smiled and nodded stepping into the room, Yugi handed her Andy, she went inside, and placed him in his crib under the blue eyes white dragon wallpaper, Seto followed placing Katie in hers under the pink meteor dragon paper.
Alec turned and looked around the room, "Thank you guys, this is a great surprise," she said. Seto walked over to Alec as she turned her gaze towards a slowly falling to sleep Andy. "I think we better let this little guy get his rest," said Seto looking over Alec's shoulder at his son, Alec nodded and turned to Seto, "is Katie?"
Seto nodded, "Already asleep girl can fall asleep in a crowd I swear," he said. Tristan walked in, "This is my little present for the two kids, and one is from Tea," Tristan walked over to the wall and click on two night-lights on each side of the room. The night-light on Andy's side was Cyber commander and on Katie's side the Magician of Faith.
Alec gave a small giggle at the thought that the nursery contended some form of duel monsters, in one way or another, the colors, the wall paper, and now nightlights. Alec turned and thanked everyone again, as they were about to leave the room, Mokuba and Yamu walked over to each crib and placed baby monitors next to the sleeping newborns and handed Alec and Seto the other end of the monitors and they all left the room.
That night after everyone left Alec walked up to the baby's room, she had just checked her baby monitor and Katie was crying. Alec opened the door to her surprise Katie stopped crying as she walked in.
Alec looked at her daughter, "hey Mommy is here," she said in a quiet voice. Katie smiled at Alec who smiled back, "I take it your either hungry or you need a change." Alec picked up her daughter from the crib and noticed that she was a little heavier, then she was a few hours ago. Alec knew it was the dipper; she laid the Katie on her back and began to change her dipper.
Seto knocked on the open nursery door, Alec turned "Want to help change your daughter's dipper?" she asked undoing the strips on the dipper. Seto laughed, "No, but I will change the boy if he needs it though," he said. At that moment, Andy began to cry; Alec pointed and said, "I think that is your cue to change him, now," she laughed.
Seto walked over to his son, and check by lifting him up, "Nope, not any heavier I think it is something else," he said. Alec moved from Katie and looked at Andy in Seto's arms, "I know what he wants, he wanted his father's attention that why because his mother is working on his sister," she said. Andy gave a little laugh at the sound of Alec's voice, "Yep that is what he wanted," she said, returning to Katie's dipper change.
Alec placed Katie in her crib when Alec was done changing her, and Seto was rocking Andy back to sleep. Alec left the room and returned with two baby bottles, "I think your son is more hungry then sleepy," Andy began to cry just as Alec entered the room.
Seto was surprised that Alec knew, but then again, he thought that it was Alec's mother instincts and took the bottle from Alec. She pulled Katie up and held her daughter in her arms while Alec gave her a bottle full of warm milk. Seto smiled, "Well, look at you, your mom instincts are already taking over," he said. Alec looked up at Seto, "Well look at your self, your feeding your son right now, like I am with your daughter."
Seto gave only a half of the bottle of milk to Andy who was soon falling asleep again, but then he began to cry. Seto placed Andy on his shoulder and began gently taping his back the little baby gave a burp.
Alec smiled, "now who is running on instincts baby burped?" she laughed. Seto laughed as well, "That would be both of us," he said.
Andy fell right to sleep again and Katie was too after her burp which was a few minutes later. Alec had just set Katie in the crib and was looking down at her daughter, Seto moved from Andy's crib over to Alec.
"See, it not as bad as you first thought it to be," said Alec to Seto; he then kissed her on the cheek. "Yeah it not that bad, but wait till they are in their teens then the trouble starts," joked Seto.
Alec laughed, "With the way these two will be bought up there will be no problems," she said. Seto and Alec left the nursery and headed towards their bedroom, three hours later they were both back in the nursery giving the last half of the milk lift in the bottle to the twins.
Hours later
Alec must have fallen asleep with both babies in her arms rocking them to sleep, Seto smiled when he noticed that Alec had not come back to bed the third time that night, silence came upon the nursery and baby monitors.
Seto walked into the nursery, placed a blanket over Alec, and took Katie from Alec's arm and placed her in the crib she was awake and fussy in her mother's arms. Katie smiled at her daddy, as he picked her up and set her into the crib, "Looks like you wore out your mother; didn't you Kat," he said in quiet voice trying not to wake Alec.
The baby smiled and gave a little cry that sounded like a laugh she then soon turned her head and fell asleep. Alec was still gently rocking in the chair with Andy, Seto looked at them, and smiled, "yeah this is going to change me forever, Alec was right neither she nor the babies have changed me it was me all along," he said to him self.
Seto reached down, took Andy from his mother's arms, and gently placed him in the crib with out waking up. Seto bent down and kissed his son's small forehead, "I lucky that you made it this far, night Andy," he said. Seto walked back over to Katie, he stroked the small brown hairs on her head, "night Kat, sleep tight," he said. Seto bent down in the crib and kissed her good night on the forehead, Seto then turned his eyes to Alec still asleep in the rocking chair.
"And now too, you my darling wife, I must now put you to bed," he said to himself looking at Alec. Seto carefully lifted Alec out of the rocking chair and carried her to their room; he laid her in the bed and pulled the sheets over her.
Seto kissed her on the lips, and walked over to his side of the bed, where he laid there; awake for a few moments he gazed at the clock it was almost 3:00 am. Seto smiled, "I am going to enjoy this part," he said.
Alec opened one of her eyes, she was awake the whole time and smiled; still acting asleep, she rolled over to Seto chest as he lay on his back. Seto put his arm around Alec and kissed her forehead, "Good night Alec," he whispered.
The next morning a loud crash awake Seto and Alec, from their sleep, it had come from the nursery. Alec and Seto jumped out of bed, and found Mokuba and Yamu fighting over a dipper.
Alec laughed when she saw the sight, Mokuba and Yamu looked, "Oh hi Alec, Seto, um we we're just changing the babies," said Mokuba. Alec nodded, "You know Mokuba there are more dippers under the changing tables." Mokuba turned his head and looked under the table he saw a large bag of dippers.
"Oh, ha, ha," he said letting go of the dipper, giving it to Yamu. Alec gave a yawn, "Well looks like there is nothing here, I need to worry about, I am going back to sleep," said Alec. Seto turned his attention back to Mokuba and Yamu as they changed the two babies. "I am going to do the same, Mokuba you know you have to feed them after changing right?" he asked.
Mokuba nodded and nudged his head towards Yamu who was waving one of two bottles for Seto to see. Seto nodded, leaving his son and daughter in his younger brother and girlfriend's hands, Sara came running up just as Seto walked away, "What happened?" she asked.
Seto turned, "Mokuba couldn't find the dippers for Katie that's all," said Seto. Sara watched Seto head toward the bedroom she laughed to herself and walked in to make sure Yamu and Mokuba were changing the babies correctly.
At some point, everyone came over to help take care of the newborns, Sara left a few days later and a few months later it was just Alec, Seto and Mokuba feeding and changing the babies because doing it wasn't as frequent. On the night of the children's sixth month birthday, Alec and Seto were tucking them in. Alec was tucking in Andy and Seto with Katie, that he called Kat all the time.
The two twins were fast asleep, Alec was holding Seto around the shoulders, "We did good," she said. Seto let out a sigh, "Yeah we did." Seto turned to face his sleeping daughter, "Kat is going to look at lot like you more then me," said Alec.
Seto nodded, "Same goes for Andrew, but he looks more like you already," he said. Alec laughed quietly trying not to wake the two babies; they were both in the same crib now because Alec and Seto did not see why they should sleep apart the two slept long in the same crib. Seto and Alec left the room and left the two duel monster night-lights on, and went to bed.
The phone rang the next morning, Joey was yelling at the other end at Alec, "Hey, why aren't you at the hospital, Mai just had a baby this morning," he snapped at Alec who was just waking up. "Joey, where do you think, Seto and I were doing. Sleeping dumb, dumb, we have two babies of our own, remember?" she snapped.
Seto laughed when Alec hung up the phone and rolled to her side. Seto looked over at his exhausted wife, "So what did the Mutt want?" asked Seto. Alec muttered something about a baby, and then just drifted off to sleep.
A month later Yugi and Tea got married and were expecting by the end of their first month together, who, would have though of it. Alec, Seto and the twins were at the wedding, held in Domino Park.
Joey was of course Yugi's best man; Alec was Tea's maid of honor. Seto and Mokuba were holding the twins while the Yugi and Tea were hitched and Mai was next to them with her and Joey's son Troy.
Yugi took over his grandfather's shop when he died a few mouths later from old age. Everyone attended the funeral, Yugi, was of course saddened, Alec was at his side as an older sister should be.
The group kept in touch with each other and the years past, Mokuba married Yamu when he turned 19, as a wedding present Seto and Alec bought them a house on the shore far away from the mansion. Seto thought it would be good to let his brother live away from him and Alec for a while but Mokuba would not have it he still showed up to help with the twins every morning.
(Authors Note: sorry folks were I pick up in the next chapter Yugi's Grandfather would be well into 100's something.)
