Author's note: Thanks for the reviews! Don't worry, Sorceress, I'll add Arek's birth in here sometime. Don't know when just yet, but I shall get to it. These drabbles are fun to do, that's for sure!
Warnings: Foul language
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh. I also don't own Elecktra, Amba or Arek. I just kidnapped them from Sorceress of the Nile! (Hahaha that's what you get for kidnapping Rin and Akio!)
Chapter two: First words
"Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday Rin and Akio, Happy birthday to you!"
A small gathering of people gathered around as Anzu and Elecktra blew out the two twin's candles. The babies laughed, beginning to stick their hands in the cake and smear it on their faces. Miku laughed, taking a picture of her two grandchildren as Arashi wrapped an arm around her waist. Hiro stood next to Bakura and Marik, the three of them gazing on as the twins ate their cake. Well, tried to anyway.
"I can't believe it," Marik muttered, taking a sip of sake. "They're already a year old."
Bakura sighed. "I can. Now it means they might stop crying less. Especially Rin."
Hiro shook his head, a smirk forming on his face as a deep chuckle rumbled out. "Oh no, there will be a whole lot more crying from now on," he sighed, looking at his niece and nephew fondly. "Now you get to watch it all unfold from here. Take time to enjoy it."
"Why is that?"
"Because," Marik started, looking at Amba, who was almost two. "Time seems to go by a whole lot faster at this point."
Bakura turned back to his children, seeing as Akio had put a bunch of frosting in Elecktra's hair. Bakura sniggered at that, which caused the magician to glare at them. Anzu shook her head, but even she could not stop the smile from forming on her face. She ate her own cake silently, watching from behind Rin as she noticed her family and friends chatting and taking pictures.
It saddened her that Yuugi could not come, but he had promised her he would come visit the minute he returned from the dig in Egypt. She was glad Jounouchi, Mai, and Hiroto were here, though.
"Anzu," Mai started with a coy smile. "When do you suppose they'll start walking and such?"
Anzu shook her head. "It won't be long until they figure it out. They usually start figuring it out after two months, or so the books say."
"Just wait until they learn to speak. Then they'll be able to say all sorts of colorful things."
"...Let's hope that doesn't happen for awhile."
(Sometime in September)
"Are you sure you'll be fine looking after them, Bakura? I can always call a sitter."
Bakura shook his head, gently propelling his wife towards the door. "I'll be fine, you should trust me more often. Besides, what could go wrong?"
Anzu didn't look conivinced, but she kissed him goodbye and headed towards the car. He gave her a small wave before heading back inside. He walked into the living room, where Rin and Akio were playing with their toys. It hadn't been until early August that they had learned to walk. Now they were toddling all over the place, crashing onto the floor and chairs whenever they did.
He watched them for an hour as they played, babbling in some unknown language as they did. Twice Rin bonked Akio's head with a duck, and tried to do it a third time until he took it away from her. She looked appalled at him, which amused him because she looked just like Anzu when she did. Akio was pretty quiet the whole time, minus being hit with a duck. He looked up at Bakura after a while with sleepy looking eyes.
He picked the two of them up, heading towards their cribs and settling them in them. Akio fell asleep before Bakura could tuck him in, but Rin cried out. He raised an eyebrow at her and picked her up; her cries immediately ceasing. He sighed, knowing full well that she wasn't tired and returned to the living room. He set her down with her toys the same minute the phone rang. He picked it up, bringing to his ear."
"This is Bakura, who is speaking?"
"Well aren't you formal?"
He stiffened. "What do you want, Magician?" he growled, forgetting Rin was in the room. "I'm busy."
"Doing what?"
"Watching Rin."
"Well aren't you a big boy," she teased. "Where's Anzu?"
"At the Doctor's office and then to the Grocery store. Why do you ask?" he was beginning to get annoyed of her, resisting the urge to set the phone down. "Did you want something from her?"
"No, I just wanted to chat. But since you're on the other end, I don't think I want to now."
"Why you little bitch!" he sneered. "You think you're so..."
"Bitch."
He jumped, turning around to see Rin staring up at him with bright blue eyes. She waved her hands towards him, the toy in her hand waving as well. "Hold on," Bakura muttered into the phone, setting it down and peering down at Rin. "What did you just say?"
"Bitch," Rin repeated, blinking innocently. "Bitch."
He shook his head, the feeling of dread settling inside him. "Ra help us," he muttered. "You did not say what I think you just said, did you?"
"Bitch," Rin said again, offering him her toy. "Bitch."
"Am I hearing things correctly? Did Rin just say what I think she just said?"
He groaned, forgetting he was standing next to the phone. He picked Rin up, setting her on his hip. "No, Magician, she didn't say anything."
"Bitch!" Rin called out again, laughing. "Bitch!"
"I am pretty sure your daughter just said bitch. Ohohoho I can't wait to hear Anzu's reaction when she gets home."
"I think she can wait," he protested, glaring intently at the wall. "We are not telling Anzu about this."
"Telling me about what?"
The room went dead silent as the front door closed. He turned around, seeing Anzu standing there with a bag of groceries. Her eyebrow was raised in question as she headed into the kitchen, setting the groceries down. "Did something happen?" she asked.
"I'll take this as my cue to go," Elecktra snickered through the phone. "Have fun on the couch tonight."
He set the phone down back in the holder and turned to Anzu, who had her hands on her hips. Rin laughed, extending her arms towards her Mother which seemed to soften her up. She took Rin from his arms, bouncing her a little. "Has my baby missed Mommy?" she asked, smiling at her. "Has little Rin missed her Mommy?"
"Bitch!" Rin laughed, tugging at Anzu's dark hair. "Bitch!"
Anzu's smile fell from her face as she stared at Rin incredulously. "Excuse me?"
"Bitch."
Her blue eyes turned towards Bakura's with a murder like gleam in them. He gave a sigh, praying to whatever god was up there that he would be spared from Anzu's anger. Two pairs of blue eyes looked at him. One with a happy gleam and the other with anger. Anzu didn't say anything. She just turned and headed upstairs with Rin, the small baby waving towards her Father as she left.
Bakura sighed again, and greeted the couch as if he were greeting an old friend.
(Next day)
"So, Bakura," Elecktra began, a smirk forming on her face. "How was the couch last night?"
Bakura glared at her, and didn't say anything as he ate his lunch. Elecktra bounced Amba on her knee, the two year old giggled in delight. Anzu sighed, running a hand through her hair as she sipped some water. "The first word my daughter learns is the B word," she sighed, glancing at her husband. "This will be interesting to put in the baby books."
Elecktra shook her head. "Well at least it wasn't the F word."
"Mommy, what's the F word?"
Bakura snickered, seeing Amba look up at her Mother with wide lavender eyes. Elecktra glared at him again before turning back to her daughter. "It's nothing sweetie," she smiled, patting her head. "Nothing at all."
Amba looked at her Mother again. "What's the B word?"
"That's nothing either. Just don't let Uncle Bakura ever teach it to you."
Review! Heheheheh poor Bakura got the couch.
