Notes: I Don't Own Yugioh and it's characters.
Surprise… You're a Father… of twins!
Chapter 2 – You are joking… Right?
Yugi collapsed next to Tea who was on the couch, everyone had gone home after a long day and Yami and Solomon were in their beds, asleep.
When Joey had finally woken up all hell broke loose, so they had to wrestle Joey to a chair and tie him to it, and then gag him just to get him to listen to Serenity.
Joey of course threatened to kill the father of her children, after she told him who it was, and Serenity retaliated by saying that she wouldn't untie him until he promised to leave the father alone until she told him and also given him sometime for the fact that he was a father sink in.
Joey was torn, but he had to agree (it took him Two Hours to do so) and they decided to use the same tactic on Duke and Tristan, but this time they tied them up before they woke up (Yugi would be counting the burses he got from Joey in the morning).
Duke and Tristan reacted in the same way that Joey did and were given the same deal as Joey was, leave the father alone or stay tied to their chairs.
"Well, now we know why the duel monsters decided to come out and say hello nearly ten years ago," Yugi said to Tea after a moment. "They were marking the birth of Kaiba's children."
"Which begs the question," Tea replied. "Do they mark the birth of every child born to people with connections to the ancient past or is there something about Peter, Paige and Yami that we don't know about?"
"Well we haven't heard from Bakura for a few years, so we don't know if he had any children or not," Yugi said. "It's the same with Ishizu and Marik, I haven't heard from them for a while now."
Tea let out a frustrated sigh and snuggled into Yugi's arms.
"You know Yugi," Tea said suddenly. "I think Serenity has feelings for Kaiba."
"I think your right." Yugi replied. "And not only because he is the Father of her children."
"She's been protecting Kaiba from Joey for ten years," Tea added. "She wouldn't do that if she didn't want the Twins to have anything to do with Kaiba… I reckon that the only reason why she didn't tell Kaiba was that she was frightened about how Joey would react."
"So we both agree Serenity has feelings for Kaiba," Yugi replied. "But does Kaiba have feelings for Serenity?"
"That's a good question," Tea answered. "Serenity did kick his pride pretty hard."
"Yeah, but if I am remembering things correctly," Yugi countered. "Kaiba looked as if he couldn't believe that he slept with her, like he couldn't believe that he was attracted to Joey's sister."
"You know Yugi," Tea said with a laugh, "If Joey, Kaiba or Serenity heard this conversation they would be trying to kill us right now."

At the Kaiba mansion, Seto Kaiba was looking for his brother, he had recently picked up a bodyguard, one that he didn't want or (so he thought) need. He was also starting to notice that security around him had increased, but when he asked anyone about it, he got the answer: "Ask your younger brother, Mr. Kaiba."
Kaiba found him in surprise, surprise – the Security Centre. "Mokuba, what do you think your doing?"
Mokuba turned from what he was doing "Beefing up Security."
"I know that Mokuba," Seto said. "But I am asking you why."
"Er… Because you have gotten some serious death threats lately."
"Mokuba, they're about as real as all wedding proposals I get, and the women that say that they had my baby." Mokuba winced at that last part. "And besides I can look after myself."
"Can you?"
"What?" Seto asked, shocked.
"Can You?" Mokuba repeated, "Oh I know you can look after Kaiba Corp. and all, but I was talking about you, yourself, Seto. When was the last time you got out of that office and did something that had nothing to do with the company? Meet up with some friends? Go out on a date with someone? Thought about your life and think of what you want in it?"
The outburst caught Seto off guard and the first response that came to his head was the wrong one, because Seto didn't know what he wanted in his life, but before Seto could answer his brother, Mokuba had slipped out of the security centre leaving Seto with no real reason on why he had increased security, "Mokuba!"

The Next Day…
----------------
Joey watched Peter and Paige playing in the playground as he sat next to Serenity on a park bench, as much as he hated their father, he couldn't hate the kids – it wasn't their fault that their father was Seto Kaiba.
Joey really wanted to kick the crap out of the stuck up CEO, but since he had promised his sister that he wouldn't kill the bastard, Joey was left thinking about not being able to carry out any of the threats that he had given Kaiba about going near his sister again.
The kids were an accident - a good accident - Serenity liked kids, always did, and she was a great mother to twins even though it was hard on her, Joey only hoped that Kaiba admitted and accepted at he was the father of the twins - he didn't have to help raise them, Serenity had been doing that for nearly ten years - if he didn't… well Joey would probably get help from Duke and Tristan and settle the matter in fists.
------------------
Seto had decided to take a break from work, because he couldn't focus on what was doing and Mokuba acting like he was walking on eggshells around him, was not helping things much – it actually gave Seto a feeling that his younger brother was hiding something from him, and was afraid of his reaction when he found out what it was.
So Seto ditched his bodyguard and went for a walk in the park.
That was when Seto saw the Mutt and his sister sitting on a park bench watching a couple of kids, the same two kids that he saw with the mutt and his family at the airport, playing in a playground, upon seeing that he remembered the time when Mokuba was that age and thought that one day he might have his kids of his own.
Seto mentally slapped himself on the forehead, he had meant to ask Mokuba who's kids they were so he wouldn't be guessing, but Mokuba wasn't here to tell him, so Seto bit back his pride and went up to ask them, screw whatever the Mutt thought of him.
The Mutt surprised Seto by not exploding in his face like he usually did, actually, the Mutt got up and told his sister that he would ice creams for her and the kids, then he turned to Seto, "The issue I have with you is going to have to wait a week and if your answer to my question doesn't satisfy me…" The mutt told him softly. "Well we'll get to that when the time comes." Then he walked away.
Seto knew that was a veiled threat but turned to Serenity "Are they your kids?" he asked nodding in the direction of the children.
"Yes." She replied, but she didn't continue, as she stared at him, probably trying to figure out he was doing.
"How old are they?" Seto asked - wanting to get away from her as soon as possible, that stare of hers was making him uncomfortable.
"They are twins, and they are nearly ten years old." Serenity said, bluntly.
Nearly ten years old, Seto thought. The last time Wheeler's sister was here was ten years ago, so the father of the kids must of been a local to this area… he looked at the kids and saw that one had brown hair, probably Taylor's… "Who's the Father?" he asked.
Serenity leant back on the park bench, "You are." She said.
That was not the answer Seto expected. "What?" he asked, as his guts started to turn to water.
"You are the Father of Peter and Paige." Serenity replied seriously.
"Very Funny Wheeler," Seto said coldly. "But the Joke's over." This has be a Joke, he thought. It has to be! I can't be a father! I just can't be!
"It's not a joke Kaiba." Serenity said, trying to stay calm. "You only have to look at them and people can tell that they are yours."
"No they can't be mine - this is just a poly to get my money!" Seto said with his voice rising. Knowing full well that he was getting desperate to prove her wrong.
"I don't want your money Kaiba," Serenity snapped back. "I just wanted you to know that you are a Father." Seto started protest but Serenity cut him off "and before you say that it is impossible remember back to when Bakura's crazy Yami spiked the punch… that was the only time I had it Kaiba, and I had it with you."
"You're lying, Wheeler." Seto spat back at her.
"Oh yeah," Serenity shouted, losing her cool. "Then take a good look behind you!"
Seto turned and saw the two kids staring back at him, the way Peter resembled him at that age was frighting… "No, no, this can't not be happening to me!" he moaned as he stormed off.
"It is happening Kaiba, weather you like it or not." Serenity shouted at him as he left.
----------------------
If Kaiba and Serenity had looked behind them they would have seen a gossip reporter, who heard and took pictures of the entire incident. Now Kaiba had a very private life, because he had many enemies in the business and duelling world, so to get a piece of information this good was rare.
The next morning the news that Seto Kaiba was a Father was all over the papers.
Extra Notes: I've altered quite a bit of this chapter from Yugi and Tea's conversation to adding more of Seto's reaction to fatherhood.
