One can forgive a child of being afraid of the darkness but one cannot forgive a man who is afraid of the light.

"You're pregnant." Ryou Bakura had been through tremendous ordeals in his eighteen years of life; being killed twice, being ate by a shadow monster, being inhabited by a pyschotic spirit from the past, and being stalked by Yami no Malik but he never expected to hear the two words that Miyukazi had just spoken. Doe-brown eyes widened comically as he ran a trembling hand through the snowy locks framing his cherubic visage.
"I..I don't understand, Miyukazi-san. It's not possible."
Miyukazi wiped his glasses on his uniform, shaking his head with amazement. "I didn't believe it either Ryou. When you told me you were ill to the stomach, I automatically deduced it was influenza. Then, you told me about the headaches and the mood swings. I was thinking a form of cancer but what I found in your urine was human chorionic gonadotropin." Miyukazi was oblivious to Ryou's paling face as he shifted through the papers on his desk. "If I didn't know better, I would have thought you were a transexual or hermaphrodite."
Ryou abruptly sank into a chair, holding his head in his hands in utter despair. "Just exactly how is this going to work Miyukazi-san? I obviously don't have the necessary organs needed to support a child like women do."
Miyukazi chuckled. "If I wasn't a close of friend of your families I would probably send you to some government agency to be tested on." Ryou blanched. "Your body has somehow adjusted itself without causing you harm. The blastocyst is enclosed in a protective bubble." He showed Ryou a sonogram, pointing at a very tiny sac. "The bubble will expand as the pregnancy progresses to keep from damaging you. Most of what I'm telling you is based on my own assumptions as there's never been a male pregnancy before. The child will recieve nourishment, like all, through the placenta. Even more astonishing is that your body is going through this pregnancy is extremely fast. When would you say this child was conceieved?"
At that inquiry, Ryou cringed. For the love of God, how was he going to tell his yami? Yami no Bakura would throw a mood swing that would put any pregnant woman to shame. Ryou sighed, staring at his hands in his lap. Bakura could hardly stand to be around him. That night of passion had been a mistake on both of their parts. Both had been intoxicated from a rather wild party at Otogi's. One thing led to another and the next morning Ryou was being thrown off of his bed by an extremely fiery tempered Bakura. Neither had spoken of it since. "About a week ago. Why?"
"As I suspected. You haven't noticed that you've been gaining weight?" Ryou shook his head. He'd only thought the detergent he was using for the laundry was causing the sudden tightening of his clothes. "You're a month into the pregnancy." Ryou gaped. "It's going to take another eight weeks before you go into labor that being equivalent to eight months."
Miyukazi disappeared into another room, coming back with a bottle of pills and a book. "These are pre-natal vitamins and are extremely important, especially with what we're dealing with. This book will help you deal with what you're going through and what you need to know." Miyukazi smiled as Ryou shoved the items inside his bag. "I know this is hard on you and I'm still getting over the shock myself but, you're bringing forth a new life; something men have never done."
"I dont understand why you aren't performing experiments on me or exploiting my condition to the press." "Because, this is a miracle and I want to keep this to myself." Miyukazi grinned. "Now Ryou, the calendar in that book is necessary. You and the father of this child should read it together." Ryou held the snort in. Bakura, once he heard, would probably try to murder him. "I won't tell your family since it's your responsibility."
"Thanks but...they don't even know that I'm gay let alone that I'm now carrying a baby." Ryou wearily rubbed his eyes. "My friends are accepting of my orientation but..." Ryou left the sentence unfinished, rising to his feet. ~But they'd kill Bakura if they discovered that he did this.~
"I'm not forcing you to but you're going to need as much support as you can. Your body's going through the changes quickly and will most likely cause you extreme discomfort. I want you to come back at the end of every week for a check-up."
"Thank you Miyukazi-san. I appreciate this more then you probably think." Ryou shook the doctor's hand. "I'm grateful that your being so understanding of my situation. If you were anyone else, I'd be considered a freak."
Miyukazi laughed. "I couldn't tell anyone if I wanted to." Ryou cocked his head to the side in question. "Imagine what this would do upon religion. The Bible preaches how wrong sodomy is and yet a gay man gets pregnant? The world would be in disorder."
Ryou nodded. "I see. Well, I'll be back Friday. Thanks for everything." Ryou left the office, trying to come up with an appropriate way to tell Bakura that he was carrying Bakura's child. Should he just come right out and tell him? Waiting for Bakura to find out on his own would only make him angrier. Ryou touched his abdominal plane. The impossible happened but how? The only answer could have been Shadow Magic but Bakura hadn't been near the Sennen Ring the night of conception. If Yami no Malik were still alive, Ryou would have penned it on the fiend as a way to get back at them both.
Hesitantly opening the door to his house, Ryou peeped inside for Bakura. He wasn't present in his soul room so that only meant he'd taken physical shape and was either laughingly madly over historical documentaries, murder series, or Family Guy in the living room or out terrorizing the locals. Ryou pursed his lips, hearing the television blaring loudly. So much for luck.
Bakura flickered his harsh eyes towards Ryou, upper lip curling in a sneer. "I've told you a million times to tell me when you go somewhere." He stood crossing his arms in front of his chest and leering at his hikari. Ryou flinched under the scrutiny. "Where did you go?" he growled.
"The doctor's." Ryou called up on what little courage he could. He had to do this, even if this was risking his life. Bakura seemed to already be in a bad mood and this was just going to set off sparklers underneath his darker half's irate temper.
"Why were you there?" Bakura asked, eyes narrowing a little further until they were slits. Ryou was up to something and from the way Ryou was shuddering, it couldn't have been good. Reminded Bakura just before Ryou betrayed him at Duelist Kingdom.
Ryou gulped, putting a table between them so he could have ample time to run out of the house and towards Yami no Yuugi's-the only one that could successfully duel Bakura. "You can't blame me for this, Yami, because I couldn't have done it and the only one that could have are those able to access the Shadow Realm and call upon its magic." As Bakura advanced forward, Ryou went in reverse. "I'm pregnant."
Hold on. Rewind. Bakura furrowed his brows, staring at Ryou like he'd gained thirty heads. "Pregnant? How the fuck can you be pregnant?! I might not be from this era but I sure as hell know how babies are made and men can't!"
Ryou moved to the couch. The bigger the furniture between them the better. "Which is why I think that someone used Shadow Magic at Otogi's party. They must have known that we....we would have sex." Bakura paused in his rabid chasing. "I'm sorry Yami.."
"The damn thing's mine?" Bakura scowled. "I'm going to find the bastard that did this and kill them. Why the fuck didn't you just say no that night?!" He glared spitefully at Ryou.
Ryou felt tears well in his eyes. This shouldn't have been as hard as it was. He knew Bakura wouldnt accept the child he was bearing or that this was half of his responsibitly. Ryou disappeared into the Sennen Ring, to his soul room, locking the door. Ryou'd always loved Bakura, even though he knew it was unrequited which was why he didn't deny Bakura that night.
Ryou sniffled, curling up on the bed. This wasn't fair. Here he was carrying a miracle and the father could have cared less if he dropped off the side of a cliff. Ryou wondered how much harm an abortion would cause. What did it matter? He couldn't raise the child on his own, especially when Bakura would only loathe it. It would be for the best, wouldnt it?
"Ryou?! Open this door right now." Ryou ignored Bakura. He would pick the lock anyway. Sure enough, five seconds later Bakura walked inside. "I'll disregard your disrespect this time but dont think about doing that again when we're in the middle of a conversation." Bakura transfigured a chair and seated himself in it backwards. "Do you remember that night? Anyone who was near you that has access to Shadow Realm? Shaddi? Isis? Malik? Yami no Yuugi?"
"All them were." Ryou wiped his eyes and sat up straight. "All I can recall is kissing you." ~And bits and pieces of you completely destroying my clothes in an effort to get them off as fast as you could.~ "I just dont see what motive any of them could have had."
Bakura pinched the bridge of his nose, trying his best to be patient. "All right. I'll harass all four of them until they tell me the truth." He slowly sank down beside of Ryou, not wanting to frighten the fidgeting youth. Ryou was truly terrified. Bakura hned. "I'm not going to hurt you so you quit with the hurt puppy routine."
"You....you aren't going to kill me for this?"
"I should," Ryou winced, "But I'm not. I should have kept my dick in my pants but you should have protested or ran away or something!" Bakura wasn't sentimental, he didn't admit defeat, he never admitted that he was wrong but, even for him he knew he had to take some blame in it. That didn't mean he was going to tell Ryou that. "What'd that quack say?"
"He said that it's going to take eight more weeks for me to have it. Everything a woman goes through in a month, I'll experience in a week. So, about mid December I should go into labor. Miyukazi-san gave me a book to let me understand why my body is doing what it's doing."
Bakura nodded. "Okay. You had better tell those idiot friends of yours about this. I'm not going to wait on you hand and foot." With a look that Ryou couldn't decipher, Bakura vanished.
Ryou patted his stomach, though it was fruitless because the baby's ears hadn't even developed yet, and smiled wanly. "Maybe this is what Bakura needs. If that's the reason, then I'll have to thank who did this." Ryou settled back into the warm duvet and slipped into a restful slumber that was sorely needed.
Bakura grabbed Ryou's bag, taking out the vitamins and Guide to Pregnancy for the Modern Mother. "This is fucked up," he murmured, flipping through the pages. Ryou would bloat that much? Bakura grinned wickedly. This would be entertaining.
