I have gotten so many requests to continue this story; which I am surprised. Originally, this was supposed to be a One - Shot, but I think I can continue. I can always make Yugi suffer the obsecles of raising a baby.

It has only been a week since Yugi had brought Abby home from the hospital. So far, everything had gone according to plan. The three – a.m. feedings, the diaper changes, and every woman out on the street stopping and telling him what a cute 'little sister' he had. Thankfully, not a lot of people noticed the exact similarity that no normal siblings have. Yugi was able to go back to school after Abby's first week at home. Since Solomon ran the shop, he was able to keep an eye on the baby while Yugi was at school and his parents were at work. Every once in a while, Yugi would be drained of energy and Yami would tell him that he would take over and look after the baby. Yugi liked to make fun of Yami and say that at some strange point, Abby would have been considered Yami's granddaughter. The former Pharaoh was not proud of being called a 'grandfather' even though he loved Abby to death. This morning began just like any other. Abby woke up in the middle of the night, but she didn't want to eat; instead, she wanted to play. Yami insisted on putting her back in her crib and she would eventually fall asleep, but Yugi didn't want to neglect Abby in anyway shape or form. So he had been up since three o'clock. He played with her for the rest of the night. He found it weird that she kept coughing every few minutes. Sometimes a lot, and sometimes a little. Eventually, Abby went back to sleep right before Yugi left for school. He wished he could do the same. Yami volunteered to take over for a while, but was called to heaven for another 'progress report.'

So there Yugi was, waiting in the Student Advisement Center with his friends, waiting for school to start. "And so than I said 'hey, that's no cow, that's my sister!'" Joey said. Tea and Tristan laughed together. Yugi would have laughed too, but he was too busy yawning. Upon hearing their small friend's constant yawning, his three friends looked over at the small boy. "Hey Yugi, you okay, Man?"

"Yeah, you've been yawning so much I swear you've sucked up all the oxygen in this room and filled it with carbon dioxide." Yugi chuckled to Tristan's joke.

"Sorry, guys. Abby's been keeping me up lately, that's all." Tea smiled.

"Well, that's what babies do, Yugi. All they do is eat and sleep." Yugi yawned again.

"But when she wakes me up at three in the morning, she doesn't want to eat, she wants to play! And every time I don't play with her, she screams her lungs out." Yugi leaned back in his chair and exhaled loudly. "Oh, and now she's at the point where she can see shapes, so she reaches out in curiosity to touch anything she can see, and when she looks at me, the only thing she can see are my bangs, so she pulls them!" Joey, Tea, and Tristan laughed at this statement. Abby was as cute as Yugi was, but being a baby, she did like to grab out of curiosity. Her favorite things to grab were her father's golden bangs. She giggled every time he would say 'ow' as well. Soon, the bell rang and it was time to start the day.

Six hours later, school was over. The gang decided to come over to Yugi's house to hang out since they couldn't go to the arcade because Yugi had a baby to take care of now. "Gramps, I'm home!" Solomon looked up from the magazine he was reading and smiled.

"Hello, kids. How is everything?" Tea smiled.

"We're good, Mr. Moto, how about you?" Solomon nodded and smiled. Yugi looked around, but did not see his jewel anywhere.

"Hey Grandpa, where's my kid?" Solomon's face turned into a threatening one.

"Now I just put her down for a nap, don't you go getting her back up!" Yugi waved his hand in front of his grandfather and ran up the stairs with his friends close behind. He had missed his daughter all day. Since this was his first time being away from her for a full day, he was a little worried about her. As the four of them entered Yugi's room, they all looked into the wooden cradle that held the sleeping baby. Tea made and 'awe' sound. Abby was wrapped in a pink blanket that Yugi had gotten from his cousin. She also had a pink bow on her head with a pink pacifier in her mouth. Every once in a while, Abby would suck on the pacifier and then stop and just breath. Yugi didn't have the heart to wake her up, but he desperately wanted to hold her. So he gently rubbed his finger against her cheek; the same way Yami used to do in Egypt; he alsodid that to Yuginowhe knew about it. Abby's reaction was to move closer to the comfort. However, Unlike Yugi, who would snuggle up to anything that touched his face while he was asleep, Abby would only snuggle up to Yugi. He gently picked her up which caused the sleeping baby girl to awaken. She smiled as she looked at her father.

"Hi, Princess; did you have a good nap?" Abby yawned and rubbed her eyes with her tiny fist, a little too hard for her father's liking. Yugi smiled as Joey chuckled a little.

"Does anyone else get the feeling that we're watching Yugi's old home videos when we see this kid?" The other three laughed while Yugi blushed. It was true. Abby took on almost all of Yugi's physical features. The same large amethyst eyes, the same button nose, and the same rosy cheeks. The only difference between the two was that Abby gained her mother's full blonde hair instead of Yugi's tri – colored hair; whichYugi would always thank God for.

"Oh, come on, 'Uncle Joey'," Tea started, taking Abby in her arms. She stuck the baby in Joey's face. "Now look at her and tell her she's not cute." Joey reluctantly took her and looked into her large eyes.

"Mmmmm … she's … cute." Tristan laughed, hearing the 'c' word come out of Joey's mouth. Joey was about to scowl him when Abby gave a baby's giggle as she reached for Joey's hair and yanked with all her might.

"Ouch! This kid is strong!" Yugi nodded, taking Abby back.

"I can't wait for this 'hair – pulling stage' to be over." Tristan leaned on his right leg with his arms folded and nodded.

"When the time comes for her to get out of that stage, you'll wish she wouldn't have … 'cause the next stage is eye – poking." Yugi gulped at hearing this. The one major tick that Yugi had was his eyes. NOTHING touched his eyes. He hated anything going anywhere NEAR his eyes. And thanks to his loud – mouth cousin, everyone knew about it. Anyway, the main reason they were together was to study for a trigonometry test.

"Here, I'll take Abby and get her a bottle while you three head to Yugi's room and start on the Study Guide." Tea offered, taking the baby and saying baby things while heading to the kitchen. Yugi, Joey and Tristan headed up to Yugi's room. There, they spread out their materials all over the floor. Joey ran his fingers through his hair while he sighed.

"Man, how did I let ya talk me into takin' trig when I barley survived geometry, Tristan!" Said boy shrugged.

"Because you'd just have to take it again in collage if you didn't, so you wanted to get it out of the way." Joey shrugged as well. Neither was very good in math, but Yugi was very good in it. He just liked to count more then anything. Tea was pretty good at it as well, but Yugi was the best out of the four of them. As much as Yugi tried to explain how to do the work, Joey and Tristan seemed even more confused then before. Finally, Tea came back with Abby, holding a bottle to her mouth.

"Oh, thank God you're back, Tea. Let's trade places now!" Now, normally, it wasn't in Yugi's holy nature to get frustrated, but he really wanted to spend time with his daughter over homework. Suddenly, Abby made a little sneeze. Yugi wasn't too worried over this, but when she started to cough, he did get a little suspicious. He took the bottle away from his daughter's mouth and placed her over his shoulder. He started to pat her back while he sat in the rocker. However, Abby's coughing would not stop. She also started to whine a little bit. This caught the attention of everyone in the room. Yugi looked at Abby, who had rested her head on her father's shoulder.

"Abby, are you okay, Princess?" Yugi started rocking in the rocker. Abby sneezed again. Yugi's three friends stood up and went over to Yugi.

"She sure is coughing and sneezing a lot …" Joey said. Tea put her hand to Abby's forehead, but her hands were cold.

"Yugi, can I see her for a second?" Yugi nodded and handed his baby over to his childhood friend. Once Tea had the baby in her arms, she put her lips to Abby's forehead and gave her a kiss. Yugi, Joey and Tristan all looked at each other in confusion.

"Oh no …" Yugi's eyes widened. 'Oh no' was never good to hear. It was even worse when it dealt with his precious little baby girl.

"What is it, Tea? What's wrong?" Tea cradled Little Abby in her arms as Abby started to whine once again.

"Yugi, Abby's sick. She has a fever …" (My mom always used to predict my fevers w/ the 'kiss the forehead' method b/c lips always carry the right body temp, did you know that?) Yugi's eyes widened even more. He grabbed Abby from Tea's arms and started to cradle her in his own. After thinking Yugi needed time alone with his daughter, the other three decided to go home. Yugi's parents would not be home for the next three hours, and his grandfather had gone out to get groceries. Yugi was all alone in the house with a sick baby in his arms. Though Yugi could feel her temperature, and see the feverish blush on her nose and cheeks, Abby still smiled like there was nothing wrong.

"It's gonna be okay, Abby. Daddy's gonna try to make you feel better." He placed Abby within her playpen and started pacing around his room. "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God … what am I gonna do? I've never had to deal with a sick baby before. Okay calm down ... it's probably just a cold ... yeah, that's it! A cold! Babies always get sick with a cold."Yugi tried to convince himself.But try as he might, hejust couldn't convince himself that it wasn't something more.As if sensing his distress, Yami came back from his long meeting with Gabriel in heaven.

"Yugi, your emotions are running haywire; what seems to be the problem?" Yugi's worried expression sent shock through Yami's ectoplasm. (It's something ghosts and spirits have)

"Yami, Abby's sick!" The former Pharaoh's eyes widened. He walked over to the playpen and saw Abby chewing on one of her small stuffed animals with her bare gums, but she looked fine.

"Yugi, Abigail is fine. She's just playing." Yugi shook his head.

"She's playing, but she's running a fever! I could feel her temperature as I was holding her! And she keeps sneezing and coughing." To prove this, Abby gave off a slight cough. Yami looked at her as she did and then moved his gaze over to his reincarnated son. "See!" The spirit sighed.

"Alright, Yugi do not panic …" Much luck that did. Yugi had been in 'panic mode' for a long time now. 'Been there, done that.' He thought to himself.

"Help me! I don't know what to do my baby's never been sick before!" Yami blinked. Of course Abby had never been sick before; she was only a week old.

"Try calling her doctor. He can walk you through it." Yugi nodded. He went downstairs to grab the cordless and came back to his room with it. Yami took the liberty of coming completely to the mortal plain and held Abby in his arms. Now that he could touch, he could feel her body temperature rising at an insane rate, which worried him.

"Yugi, I think you should take Abigail to the hospital. Yugi didn't listen. He was talking to the pediatrician on the phone.

"Hello, yes I'm calling about Abby Moto. … … Well, she's coughing a lot and sneezing a lot as well … … Yes, she has a very high fever." Yami continued to cradle the baby in his arms. Abby looked so pale at this time. Babies are always pale, but Abby was losing the color in her skin,and her cheeks were getting redder. She started to make sounds as if she could not breathe.She looked as if she had been crying. " … … I did that … … Yes, I did that too … … Did it … … Did it … … Did it … ... That's it? What am I payin' you for, this is serious!" Yami rolled his eyes.

"Yugi, calm down." Yugi returned his attention to the phone.

"Well, I haven't really taken her temperature yet, but I can feel that it's higher then it should be." Suddenly, he heard crying coming from Yami's direction. Both of them looked to see Abby crying indefinitely. "And now she's crying. … … Take her to the hospital? … … Okay … … Yes, thank you. Good – bye." Yugi hung up the phone and looked at his darker half. "Yami, do you think you can teleport me to the hospital?" Yami opened his mouth to protest, but before he could make a sound, Yugi started to talk to himself. "No, it would be too suspicious if we went there too early … I'll just have to call a cab." Yugi started walking around in circles while talking to himself, tying to figure out the fastest way to get to the hospital. Yami still cradled Little Abby in his arms, trying to get her to calm down, but his head followed Yugi every time he would go from left to right. Yami rolled his eyes again as he thought that this couldn't last any longer. He placed Abby on his shoulder and went over to Yugi and touched his shoulder.

"Yami, what are you ---" Before Yugi could finish, he found himself at the hospital. The same hospital he was at a week ago when they said that he had a child waiting for him. Yami handed Abby to Yugi.

"Yugi, what you have to focus on right now is your daughter. I believe the children's center is down that hall." He said while pointing behind Yugi. "Abigail needs you to the right thing at this time. Stop worrying of what could happen and start worrying on what is. If she is sick, then take her to a medical professional who can diagnose her correctlyand give her medicine that can treat what ever illness she has come down with." Yugi blinked at Yami for a second.

"But ---" Yami held up his hand and seized Yugi from speaking as he did so many other times.

"Take the puzzle off and I will go find your parents and tell them where you are." Yugi agreed. While in on the spiritual plain, Yami was only able to touch the puzzle. And as long as Yugi wore the puzzle, he could only stand four feet away from him at the most. But if Yugi did not wear the puzzle, he was free to go where ever he wanted as long as HE had it with him. So Yugi handed the puzzle to Yami who teleported out of the hospital in search of Yugi's parents.

With Yami gone, Yugi sighed and walked down the hall which his darkness pointed out earlier. Yugi looked in his arms to see Abby shivering a little bit. She clenched her eyes shut and coughed a little more. Yugi nuzzled his baby girland tried to comfort her. "It's okay, Princess … I'm going to make sure you feel better. Daddy's gonna make everything okay ... " Yugi kissed his daughter's forehead. The hall was painted with rainbows and children who looked so happy. Once Yugi found the waiting room for a pediatrician, he quickly signed her in and went through all the papers he had to sign. He waited for his parentsto come andsign the places that minors could not sign. Yugi waited for a long time while he rocked his daughter to sleep. Even in sleep, she whimpered and coughed. Yugi was on the verge of tears. He could see Abby struggling to breathe. Why did this have to happen? Suddenly, a nurse called out Abby's name.

Yugi was seated in a small room with a table covered in wax paper. He looked at the tools pediatricians used to check children like the cotton swabs, the ear and nose lights, and those wooden stick they stick down your throat when they do the Strep Throat Test. Yugi cringed. He hated the Strep Throat Test. There was also a sink with a special kind of soap that only doctors used. Suddenly,Abby was squirming in his grasp. "Shhhh, it's alright, Princess. You'll be okay. Please just be patient." He kissed her again, but she continued to whine and squirm. She also began to cry when she was unable to become comfortable. Finally, the doctor came in. It was a woman in her mid twenties. She had shoulder length red hair and she wore the traditional white coat.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Orville." She stuck her hand out and Yugi shook it. She looked at her clip board with what little files Abby had so far. "Well, now, let's see … Abby is only one week old, correct?" Yugi nodded. "And she hasn't shown any signs of being sick earlier, has she?" Yugi shook his head this time. The doctor observed the baby in her father's arms. She whines, cried, squirmed, and rubbed her face.

"She's also having a hard time breathing."Dr. Orville nodded. She noticed that too and told Yugi to holdthe babyin a sitting position on his lap. He did just as he was told. The doctor tried to give Abby the usual check up, but the baby kept trying to fight it. Abby screamed, trying to escape the doctor's check up. Once Dr. Orville was finished with that, she let Yugi try to calm Abby down. Yugi soothed her by repeating 'it's okay …' in her ear, but Abby's breathing was still labored. After her outburst, it seemed the wheezing became worse. Then, the teenage father reached into his pocket and took out Abby's favorite pacifier. It was a special kind of pacifier that Yugi's mother had found while shopping for some outfits for her granddaughter. The pacifierscame in fruit flavors for the baby to suck on. Abby's favorite flavor was cherry. Of course, Yugi had to wash it before he let his daughter put it in her mouth. Dr. Orville wrote down everything she saw. "Yugi, can you tell me how long this has been going on?" Yugi thought for a second.

"Well, let's see, she's been rubbing her face for a few days now, but the sneezing and coughing just started today." Dr. Orville nodded and took notes.

"Mm – hmm … was there anything else? Has she been spitting up more then usual?" Yugi thought for a second. Actually, she was spitting up more then usual. Yugi nodded. "Is she on a bottle?" Yugi nodded again. "It could be something in the formula that she is allergic to. Has she ever gotten tested for allergies?" Yugi shook his head.

"No, no one in my family has allergies."

"What about her mother?" Yugi was taken back by this. He didn't know if Ruby had allergies or anything about her for that matter.

" … Um … her mother … left us. So, I really don't know if she has allergies or not." Dr. Orville looked at her notes.

"Well, she does have a lot of drainage in her throat from what I saw, and she also appears to have a lot of phlegm. All this can be backed up in the head and the bacteria can increase, causing a fever. I say we have her tested for allergies; just in case." Yugi blinked. He looked down to see that Abby had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

"How is the test performed?"

"Well, we insert an essence of a certain substance into her blood stream and see if it bubbles. The ones that bubble are what she is allergic to. It is done by a needle and placed in her back. If you would like to wait outside, I will take her to get tested." Dr. Orville offered her arms for Abby to be placed in. Yugi once again glanced at his daughter with tears in his eyes. He felt like he was betraying her trust. With one last kiss, he gave his baby to the doctor.
