Hardly Free II: Seth Reeve Princeton

I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or Yu-Gi-Oh GX.

But I do own Kurai, Hikari, and Markus.

Thanks to Kari Akiyama for adding my to their alert list.

Harashika: I'm glad I made you happy. Is there anything you might want to see in either of them because I haven't started them yet? I have been thinking on what I wanted to do for them and have a general idea but since you seem so stoked about it. I would like to hear about your ideas for it. Anyone else can give me and input too!

UnratedCrimsonBlood: Thanks and here is the next chapter which has something more for people.

Week Five, the baby is about 0.05 inches long. The spinal cord, muscle, heart, bones and brain are just beginning to form. The placenta, and the amniotic sac are still forming but the baby can move freely within.

Week Six, the baby is about 0.08 inches to 0.16 inches from the crown-to-rump. The limb buds and eyes are now forming too. The neural tube has formed now and it is the beginning of the central nervous system. (1)

I sit up in bed, talking to Chazz, Alexis, Syrus, Aster, and Jesse. It has been two weeks since I woke up and I'm not doing too badly. My wounds are healing but it'll be another two weeks before I'm fully healed.

Well physically healed, mentally and emotionally is another story. I keep waking up during the night screaming to be freed from the coffin. Chazz has to rock me back and forth, whispering to me that I am safe and in his arms where no one will hurt me.

I feel bad for him, because he is just as tired as I am. I hate waking him up at night but I'm so glad he is there to calm me down. I don't know what I would do without him. He understands, and sometimes I am awakened by him screaming that he'll save me.

I know it will take time to heal, mentally but I'm not sure about emotionally. I just don't understand why the only male I will let touch me without me flinching is Chazz. Mom told me it was because I trust Chazz not to hurt me because he is the one who saved me.

I hate it though, I hate flinching whenever my mom or dad tries to hug me, or when my friends try touching me to support me. I feel so bad for doing it, but they all say they understand why, I involuntarily flinch.

Time passes slowly for me. Sometimes I just can't wait for the day to end. Chazz attends class again, he brings me the homework and we do it together. The teacher comes to me to give quizzes or tests that way I won't fall behind.

I can't wait for my brother's wedding. Atticus and Kurai are getting married, next thing I know they'll most likely start having children. Great an older brother, a mother, and an uncle, seems like life wants me to have lots of happiness after what has happened.

I'm glad mother and father have gone home and took Hikari with them. I don't want mom fawning over me ever single minute of my life. He says that he has a right to do so but I don't believe him.

Chazz already does everything I'm not allowed to do yet, because Bakura wants to make sure I am fully healed before I do everything on my own. I can understand his concern though because I can't really stand up.

My back hurts me a little too much when I stand up straight. Markus did a number on my body that it is taking my body a while to heal and fix the damage. I can understand why even with the powers of the Shadow Realm, some things take time to heal.

Perhaps it is good that your body is slowly taking time to heal Jaden. You will need all your energy for when the baby comes and in the next coming months while carrying the child. To become a mother at a young age is hard, especially if the one carrying is already using energy for something else.

I know that! It's just hard for me to stay still in a hospital for a very long time. I hate them so much, even if it's only a wing in the school.

That is true, but your body does need the energy now for more than one thing. Your mother will be helpful during the time you are pregnant. He can help you out so much.

I know that too. It's not that I don't want his help but I want the independence to make the choice to ask him without telling me everything I need to know right off. Two weeks and I can start walking and moving around again like a normal human.

You're not normal though, you have me within you. I am sure with time though that I will go away and you will be you again from so long ago.

I forgot what I was truly like before Markus broke me. I wonder what it will be like as the real me. I wonder if Chazz will still love the real me, the me I was before I had a mask over my face to hide the hurt.

"I would still love you Jaden, because you are my Jaden. And once your healed the mask won't be a mask it will be you" speaks Chazz looking down at me from his spot behind me.

"Did I say that out loud?" I ask looking up at him.

"Yes you did, were you talking to someone just now?" answers and asks Chazz tightening his grip.

"Yeah I was, it's my other self inside me. His name is Jadai and he's the one who protected me from the worst. He's always been there helping me out but now he wants to go away. So you can protect me and help me out from now on. Yet it will take a while for that to happen" I answer as I shake my head, not wanting to cry in front of Chazz right now.

"Shush my love, it's ok to cry. He has always been there in the back of your mind and now it's time to start losing him. It will be hard but I will be here every step of the way" whispers Chazz into my ear.

I turn and burry my head into the crook of his neck, seeking his warmth and his comfort. Maybe it won't be so bad with you gone Jadai, maybe Chazz can take your place after all. I think before falling into a peaceful slumber.
