Here's the latest chap of Left Alone! Please enjoy!
It's been two and a half months and Yugi was waiting with Ryou at an ultrasound appointment. They were about to find out the gender and they couldn't wait. Yugi was ready to start buying stuff.
"Alright." Dr. Sora smiled. "Are you ready to find out the gender?"
Yugi looked at Ryou who smiled before looking back at her and nodding. She rolled his shirt up to show his now growing stomach. Ryou smiled at Yugi's little baby bump as she put the gel on.
A few minutes later she found the baby. "Ready?" Yugi nodded. "Ok you are having a baby girl."
"A girl? I'm having a girl?" Yugi asked.
"Yep. A beautiful healthy little girl." she smiled.
"Wow. I'm having a girl." Yugi smiled as tears of joy came.
Ryou took his hand. "Congratulations Yugi."
"Have you considered names yet?" Dr. Sora asked.
"Not yet." Yugi said.
"Well now you have a gender to decide from. I'll print your pictures and that's that. You can head home."
"Thank you." Yugi said before she left. Ryou cleaned his stomach for him. "I'm having a girl. I can't believe it."
"Well believe it because it's true." Ryou smiled. "Come on. Ra knows Malik will be waiting on our porch."
"We need to remember to give him a key to house." Yugi laughed.
"Yeah we do." Ryou said as they headed out after getting Yugi's picture.
**********()()()**********
They pulled up to the house to see Malik was in fact waiting on the porch. He ran to them. "So?"
"It's a girl." Yugi smiled.
"You're having a girl!? Congratulations!" Malik hugged him.
"Thanks Mal. I'm really excited." Yugi said.
"Good because you know what this means don't you?"
"No what?"
"We have to do a bunch of baby shopping!" Ryou cheered.
"Now?" Yugi asked.
"Sure! Why not? None of us have work today and we can grab some food too. What do you want Yugi?" Ryou asked.
"Um." Yugi thought. "Chicken."
"Ok come on mama Yugi." Malik smiled.
They all hopped in Yugi's pick up and went to the nearest baby store. Ryou parked the truck. "Ok so are we channeling in on specific stuff?"
"Big stuff." Yugi said. "Crib, changing table and stuff like that."
"Oh! How about we do a theme!?" Malik asked.
"I would love to!" Yugi said. "But what theme?"
"Animals?" Ryou suggested.
"Mm no. That's too overdone." Yugi said.
"Dinosaurs?" Malik said.
"Nah. Hmm." Yugi thought.
"Oh! Duel monsters?" Ryou suggested.
"Really? Do you think that's suggested? For a baby I mean." Yugi said.
"Well Kuriboh is cute." Ryou said.
"How about a spring room?" Malik asked.
"Yes! I love it!" Yugi said.
"Awesome! We can fill it with books and and toys and everything!" Ryou said.
"You two are amazing!" Yugi smiled. They went in with a motivation to get as much as they could. "Oh! Can we get the changing table and crib as a matching set?"
"Haha yes Yugi." Ryou smiled.
Soon the three found a nursery set made of dark wood including a crib, changing table, and small dresser. They found a bunch of nerd related decorations and clothes. By lunch time the pickup's bed was full of baby stuff and Yugi felt better about the whole thing.
"Come on. Let's feed the mother." Ryou said.
"Yeah. We can't have him blowing up with emotion." Malik said.
"Hey! I'm not emotional!" Yugi pouted.
"Oh no not at all." Malik laughed.
"Whatever let's go. I'm starving." Yugi said.
"Of course mama Yugi." Ryou smiled and took his hand. Yugi hid his blush as they hopped into the truck.
"After dinner Mal, you wanna come over and we can start the setup?" Ryou asked.
"Are you sure? We've been on our feet all day." Yugi said.
"Of course I'm sure! It'll be so much fun! We'll blast music and start putting together the crib and stuff!" Ryou said.
Yugi smiled. "Thanks Ry."
"Actually as much as I'd love to I can't. Marik wants to take me on a date tonight. Sorry." Malik said.
"It's no problem." Yugi said. "We can do it."
"Ok. I promise another day I'll help with more." Malik said.
"Alright. I'll drop you off at your house. Then take Yugi for some food." Ryou said pulling out of the parking lot.
"Thanks." Malik said.
After dropping Malik off Ryou and Yugi went out for dinner. They walked into their favorite restaurant and sat down. Yugi ordered some chicken with vegetables. Ryou got steak and pasta.
"Thanks for today Ry." Yugi smiled.
"No problem. It was fun." Ryou said.
"So I-" Yugi was interrupted by his phone ringing. Ryou had added him to his phone plan and such after his original phone stopped working. He answered. "Hello? Oh hi. Yes I-. Wait what? But I didn't-. Well yes but-. Please you can't do this. No I need this job. Plea-hello? Hello?" Yugi hung up frozen in shock.
"Yugi? What's wrong?"
"I just got fired." Yugi looked at him.
"What? Why?"
"I-I don't know. They said that I stole something from merchandise but I didn't. Ryou what am I going to do? I needed that job." Yugi began to panic.
"Yugi it's ok. We'll work through this. I promise." Ryou took his hand. "I'll see about getting you a job with me." Yugi nodded. "Let's finish eating then head home and get started."
"Ok." Yugi nodded.
They finished eating were heading out when Yugi walked into someone. He fell back and looked up as Ryou ran to help him. Yugi looked up to see Atem glaring down at him.
"Oh look who it is. It's the ex. Cheat on anyone recently?" Atem said crossing his arms.
Ryou pulled Yugi to his feet and shielded him. "Back off bastard." He growled.
"Me? But he cheated on me." Atem said acting innocent.
"R-Ryou I wanna go home." Yugi said softly.
Ryou put an arm around him and started walking him out. "Yugi get in." Ryou said as Atem walked over to them.
"Wait I just have one question." Atem said.
"What's the sex of the bastard child?"
Ryou turned and punched him in the face. "Back the fuck off! Even talk to him again and I'll use some stuff I learned from Bakura!" Ryou got into the driver's seat and pulled out of the parking lot.
"Ryou you just punched Atem in the face." Yugi said in shock.
"Yes well he pissed me off." Ryou said.
"Remind me to never piss you off."
Ryou took his hand with one of his own and drove with the other hand. "You could never piss me off the way he did. Unless of course you turn your back on this baby girl." He put a hand on Yugi's stomach.
Yugi put his hand over Ryou's. "Never. No matter who her sperm donor is I love her."
"Good." Ryou pulled into the driveway. "Wanna go unlock the door while I pull the stuff off the truck?"
"I have to help you." Yugi said.
"No I got it. The most I want you to carry is the decorations got it?"
"Yes." Yugi sighed.
"Good go unlock the door."
"Yes sir." Yugi took the keys and opened the door. He held it open as Ryou started moving stuff in and up to Yugi's room. They unloaded everything and went to Yugi's room.
"Ok lets get the crib put together then changing table. Once we're done with those we can do the dresser and start putting away the clothes and such. Later we'll make a list of everything needed for a baby girl and check off what we have." Ryou said.
"Alright." Yugi nodded.
They spent another few hours setting up the nursery set. Once everything was done they went to the living room and sat down. Yugi grabbed a notepad and that began making the list. It take them long to finish it.
"All done." Yugi said.
Baby list:
Crib *
changing table *
dresser *

Etc.
"Ok so you will need more clothes definitely and the rest we can get as the pregnancy goes. Plus I'm sure you'll get a bunch of stuff at your baby shower." Ryou said.
"Wait baby shower? Why would we have a baby shower?" Yugi asked in shock.
"Why wouldn't we?"
"Ryou the own father doesn't want anything to do with the baby who would?"
"Yugi! Everyone would want to do have everything to do with this little girl!"
"I'm sorry i just don't see anyone who would actually show up besides you and Mal."
"Marik, your grandfather, Tea, Joey, Tristan. I can keep going."
"You really think all of them would show?"
"Of course! your grandfather would never miss out on his great granddaughter's life and the rest are your friends. Once they hear what Atem did they'll be pissed as well but supportive of you."
Yugi nodded. "Thanks Ry. you're amazing."
"You're welcome. Oh do you mind if i invite my mum and Amane?"
"No not at all! Amane is such a sweetheart and your mom is so nice."
"Well then we better start planning your baby shower now. they'll need time to come over from england."
"I can't believe you never went back."
"I stayed for Bakura. Guess he never felt the same way."
"Well that's his mistake because you clearly loved him and cared for him."
"Yeah well he can piss off now."
"Same thing goes for Atem. If i didn't know any better I'd say he was the one who cheated."
"Haha I wouldn't be surprised with how he's been accusing you."
Yugi frowned. "What if he was? What if he did cheat?"
"Then he's dumber than we thought."
"How so?"
"Because then he would be giving up you. someone he's been with for three years and is an amazing person."
Yugi blushed. they sat for some time in silence. it was 10:30pm when Yugi spoke. "I'm gonna head to bed. not that i have work tomorrow."
"We'll get you a job again Yugi. i know we will. take some time to relax until then."
"Ok." Yugi said goodnight and went to his room. he stood by the crib rubbing his stomach. "Five and a half months and you get here baby girl. I'll do anything i can to keep you safe. no matter what." he laid in his bed after changing. He hugged his stomach and went to sleep.
*********()()()********
Another month passed and Yugi still hasn't found another job. He tried everywhere expect one place. It was Kaiba corp. He really didn't want to work there. It was run by Atem's cousin and he knew Atem would be there a lot. He was sitting in the living room with Ryou. They were debating about It.
"Yugi I know you hate it but it's a job and it's a job you are qualified for and will enjoy." Ryou said.
"I don't want to run into Atem." Yugi said.
"I know but do you really have a choice? Its great pay and It's for games! You love games."
Yugi sighed. "Alright. I'll try it."
"Good." Ryou nodded getting up.
"Now?" Yugi asked.
"Yes. Come on." Ryou pulled him up. "Your stomach is big for five and a half months."
"Are you calling me fat?" Yugi pouted.
"No! No of course not!" Ryou said quickly.
Yugi laughed. "Calm down Ryou I'm just messing with you."
"So not funny!" Ryou pouted crossing his arms.
"Ry that was hilarious." Yugi laughed.
"Whatever let's go mama. It's time for you to get that job." Ryou took his hand and pulled him out of the house.
"Why now?" Yugi asked not wanting to go.
"Because the longer you wait the harder it'll be for you. So we're doing this now." Ryou said opening the car door for him. Yugi grumbled under his breath and got in.
*******()()()*********
When they arrived at Kaiba Corp. Ryou had to practically drag Yugi in. They went straight to the elevator and up to Kaiba's floor. There they met his secretary.
"Can help you?" She asked a bit bitterly.
"We're here to see Mr. Kaiba about the job in game development." Ryou said.
"Ok are you both applying?" she asked pulling out papers.
"No just Yugi." Ryou said pushing Yugi forward slightly.
"Very well. Fill this out. Then Mr. Kaiba will call you if he wants an interview." she said. Yugi took the papers with a pen and sat down.
Ryou sat with him. "It's going to be ok."
"What if Atem comes around?" Yugi asked.
"Then you tell him to fuck off. And if he doesn't stop we'll press for harassment." Ryou said.
"Alright." Yugi nodded. He finished the paper and gave it to the secretary before they left. "Where to now?"
"Your ultrasound appointment." Ryou said.
"Oh yeah." Yugi smiled. "I can't wait till she gets here."
"I know Yugi." Ryou smiled. He and Yugi got in the car and went to his appointment.
*********()()()********
Yugi was now seven months pregnant and his stomach was huge. He had gotten the job at Kaiba Corp. and was working hard. He hadn't run into Atem yet which he was thankful for.
He finished the nursery and smiled. "Its ready for you baby girl." he smiled rubbing his stomach. The nursery was half his room. The wall he called the accent wall was a soft green with pink rimming. It had paintings of bunnies birds and flowers. Ryou painted the animals and flowers. The baby's dresser was next to his. The changing table was next to the closet that was half his stuff half the baby's stuff.
"Yugi! I'm home!" Ryou called.
Yugi went to him. "Hey Ry. How was work?"
"Boring. How was painting?" Ryou asked tossing his stuff down and taking off his coat.
"Want to see it? It's done." Yugi smiled.
"Yes." Ryou said smiling.
Yugi took his hand and took him to the room. "Here it is."
Ryou looked at everything. "Yugi she's going to love it." he smiled at his roommate.
"Thanks. I couldn't have done it without you and Malik." Yugi said.
"You would have found a place." Ryou said.
"I don't care. I'm glad I came to you." Yugi hugged him. Ryou held him close. They'd realized they were falling for each other when Yugi hit 6 months. After much debate they started going out. Malik was excited for them. After Atem and Bakura Malik thought they wouldn't be able to find anyone. Yugi smiled. Everything was working out. He would be happy from now on. Nothing could change this.
There was a knock on the door. "I'll get it." Yugi said. He went to the door and opened it to find Atem. "Atem."
"Hello Yugi." Atem said.
Dun dun dunnn. Lol yay for cliffhangers! Please comment!
