It had been Six months since Atem had proposed to Tea & now that they were living together. Tea still went to her dance class 3 times a week & Atem would fill in his day spending it with Yugi & the boys, which also included Ryou Bakura.
One day however Tea started not feeling very well in the morning after she had woken up, which had been happening for a few months, deciding that whatever it was, wasn't going away to finally call her dance instructor & have a day at home with Atem, waking up an hour or so later Atem looked over at Tea & Yawn "Good Morning my Darling..." he said kissing her cheek "Shouldn't you be at your dance class?" "I was meant to be there an hour ago but I'm not feeling very well today, so I thought it would be nice if we spent the day together & went to the park or the beach" "Tea..." Atem lightly scolded "If your not well then you should make an appointment to see the doctor, then i will look after you for the rest of the day" he said looking concerned "Yeah, good idea but I wont have any breakfast just a cup of Green tea, I dont really feel like eating" "well...ok then, I will be in the kitchen if you need me" he said as he got up kissing her forehead before leaving.
Laying in bed Tea could hear the jug boiling & various cupboards being opened & then closed, it was so nice to have someone like Atem that would absolutely anything for her, as she lay in bed she had a funny feeling in her stomach "Oh no...Im gonna be sick" Tea said to herself as she quickly threw the blankets back & leapt out of bed & running to the bathroom "Tea?..." Atem questioned as he heard the bathroom door slam shut, coming to the bathroom he quietly knocked on the door, walking in he saw Tea leaning over the basin, "Is everything ok Tea?" "Yea, im ok now, i better go & make that appointment" "Ok, then & i will bring you your cup of green tea " he said as he gently rubbed her back.
Coming out of the bedroom after being on the phone Tea yawned & plopped down in a seat at the table "Everything ok?..." "Yea, I'm just a bit tired," she said rubbing one eye "...I haven't been this sick since I was a kid" "You go back bed & rest & I will bring your drink, by the way, what time is your appointment Tea?" "Oh, its this afternoon" "Would you like me to come with you, for support" he said as he came over & stood behind her chair, putting his hand on her shoulder "Thank you Atem, I love you so much" she said as she held the hand that was on her shoulder & looked up at him.
It was now 1.30 in the afternoon & Tea's appointment was in 15 minutes "Come on Atem, time to go" called Tea as she slipped her shoes on & made her way to the door "Coming..." he said as he swung his jacket over his shoulder, quickly slipping on his shoes he put one arm around Tea's waist & shut the door, as they were walking down the road Atem noticed Tea had a strange look on her face, comforting her the best way he knew how, he gave her hand a small squeeze, rubbing the top of it with his thumb "Atem..." she said sounding really nervous "What if i have something wrong with me...What if I'm never allowed to dance again" "Tea! Look at me..." he said firmly as he stopped & put both hands on her shoulders "Its going to be ok, I'm here for you & I love you, if anything is wrong i will be there for you 100%" he finished as he pulled her into a tight embrace "Thank you Atem, your the best Fiance in the world, I dont know what i would do with you, you are always so supportive of me" she said as she sniffed & wiped her eyes "Are you ok now..." he said as he cupped the side of her face & caressed her cheek with his thumb "I think i will be...We better get going or else im going to be late" she said as she took his hand & started to head towards the doctors' clinic.
Once they were there, the couple took a seat while she waited for her named to be called, luckily they had gotten there just in time & her name had been called just as they had sat down, taking a seat in the doctors office the nurse told them that the doctor would be with them shortly.
Taking Tea's hand Atem gave it a gentle squeeze "It's going to be ok, I'm right here" he whispered "Thank you..." whispered Tea as she noticed the door starting to open, walking through the door was a middle-aged lady with medium length dark brown hair & eyes "Hi, you must be Tea' " "Yup, that's me" she said trying to sound as cheerful as possible "Nice to meet you, my names Naomi, what seems to be the problem" she said as she took a seat at her desk "Well..." Tea started as she began to tell the doctor what had been happening to her for the past two months or so "Ok...I have a fair idea what is wrong with you, but just to be sure i need to do a few tests" "ok sure, what do I have to do" "just come with me, we wont be gone long...Will you be ok in here for a few minutes" she said looking at Atem "I think so..." he said giving Tea his famous smirk "Ok, come on Miss Gardener, follow me" said Naomi as she got up & opened the door for Tea to go out.
Minding his own business Atem sat & waited patiently for Tea & the doctor to return, just then his phone buzzed in his pocket which caused him to let out a quiet chuckle, taking it out he saw that Yugi had messaged him
Yugi:
Hey Atem, where are you guys, me & the boys came around to visit & you weren't home, is everything ok?
Hitting reply Atem quickly texted back
We are at the doctors' clinic, will ring you later, Tea is coming now
Sliding his phone back into his leather pants pocket he saw the door open to which there stood a very happy looking Tea on the other side, standing up out of his chair he looked at the doctor then at Tea "Good news, I take it" he said smiling also "Would you like me to tell him or you" said Naomi also with a smile on her face "Um...I think you should, I'm too excited" said Tea as she walked over & hugged Atem & then turned around to face Naomi "Congratulations, you two are going to be parents," she said with a smile & a small bow "Tea? Is this true" said Atem not believing his ears "Yes it is & Naomi said that I am already three months, thats why i have been so sick in the mornings, especially" "Wow! I cant believe it...I'm going to be a Father" said Atem as his eyes welled up with happy tears "Thank you so much, Naomi, we better get going home so I can tell my parents & you can tell Yugi & Grandpa" she said winking at him.
At Tea & Atem's apartment
"Oh My Goodness, I cant believe it, we are going to have a baby," said Tea as she gave him a hug & a kiss "...But what about your dancing?" said Atem raising an eyebrow "I asked the doctor about that & she said as long as im careful that i can keep going to my dance classes for another 3 months, but i may have to only go twice a week instead of three" "Oh...Well thats very good, I am so proud of you Tea, but now that you are having a baby does that mean I can't kiss you anymore" Atem said looking worried "Kissing me isnt going to hurt the baby, not right now anyway but when im further along then we have to be careful" she said smirking "Oh! I almost forgot..." said Atem as he felt his phone in his pocket "Whats wrong..." "Yugi text me when i was waiting for you & I told him I would ring him once we were out of the doctors office" "Go ahead then, ring him, he deserves to know, you two are like brothers & if he knows ive been at the doctor he will be worried" "Thank you Tea, you're right he does" he said as he wrapped his arms around her & gave her a short very passionate kiss "Wow! Someones happy" said Tea as she watched Atem slip his phone out of his very tight & very sexy black leather pants pocket & then put it up to his ear.
At the Game Shop the phone starts to ring "I wonder who that could be, maybe its Atem with news on how Tea is" says Yugi to Joey "Do you want me to answer it just in case its bad news" says Joey as he gets up "Nah, its ok, who knows it might be good news" says Yugi as he puts the phone up to his ear "Hello, Yugi speaking...Oh hey Atem, yea we are home, is everything ok?... Oh ok, see you soon then, bye" he says as he hangs up, hearing everyone gasp behind him he turns around "What's up Yug', Is Tea ok?" said Joey "I dont know Joey, Atem didnt tell me but they are coming around soon, they were just at Tea's parents house so should be here in about 5 minutes" "I hope Tea's ok, did Atem sound happy on the phone?" said Tristan as he look at Joey then to Yugi "I couldnt tell, he just sounded the same as he normally does" "oh...That might not be a good sign" "I'm sure everything is fine, right Yug'...Yug' whats wrong buddy" said Joey looking down at his short friend "Im really worried about Atem, if something is wrong with Tea he's going to be so heartbroken" "Oh here they come now..." said Tristan pointing to the window "I'll get the door" said Yugi as he walked over to it.
Opening the door Yugi stood looking at Atem & Tea, not knowing whether to smile or cry "Hey guys, come on in" said Yugi trying to sound neutral as possible "hey Yugi, long time no see, how have you been" "good thank you...Maybe the news isnt bad, Tea sounds happy" Yugi thought to himself "So..." Yugi started not knowing what to say next as he look at Atem who gave him a reassuring nod, then looked at Tea "Do you want to tell them..." "You can Atem..." said Tea looking at Atem "Ok, well..." Atem started as he told the three boys what had been happening, briefly, to Tea & that she had gone to the doctors today like he had already told Yugi.
"So what's the news, your killing me here" said Tristan who looked like he was about to pull his hair out from the suspense "...We're having a baby" Atem & Tea said at the same time "What?! No way! Congrats man " said Joey as he jumped off his seat & then playfully punched Atem's shoulder "Wow Atem, that is so cool, im so glad it was good news" said Yugi as he heaved a huge sigh of relief which made Atem chuckle "Don't sound so worried Yugi, i would have told you sooner if there was anything wrong but in saying that, im sorry for not letting you know sooner, im still getting over the shock of it" "So what do you guys think the baby is?" asked Tristan, "I dont know but the doctor said I have to go to the hospital for a scan in two months, then we will be able to find out...If we want to"
Getting further on in the day Yugi noticed the time so decided he might as well make Dinner for all of them. After dinner, Tea mentioned that they had better get home & Atem agreed & said that Tea needed her rest due to her not sleeping well at night, luckily they didn't live too far down the road & were able to walk home, saying their goodbyes Atem thanked Yugi for having them for dinner & that he would message him in the morning.
