If I have forgotten anybody I am so very sorry.
Okay I am moving and today will be the last day that I am able to update, read or review any stories. I am very sorry, but my job is sending me elsewhere. I will be able to get back on the internet in about 2 weeks. I hope to have at least 2 chapters up when I am able to get back on for I am taking my laptop with me so I can type more chapters. Sorry if there are errors I was in a hurry to get this posted before I left.

Chapter Four
Jou opened the door to Yami's room and stepped into the dark room quietly shutting the door behind him. He looked toward Yami's bed and saw that he was asleep with his hands on his bare stomach and his head turned to the side. His beautiful crimson eyes were closed and the only sound in the room was that of Yami's slow breaths.
The way the pale moon radiated off of his skin made him look as though he was some ethereal being to beautiful for this earth. His blonde bangs framed his well chiseled face and he then ran his gaze over the rest of Yami's body noticing that he was wearing a pair of deep burgundy pajama pants.
He stepped closer and reached out and touched the burgundy material and found that it was not just any material, but a soft, smooth silk. He knew Yami had exquisite taste in clothes, but never knew he also was the same about his night wear.
He looked upon the body of his earth bound god and let out a breath that he didn't even realize he was holding. By the gods he was gorgeous and he wanted him all for himself.
Jou very slowly sat down on the edge of Yami's bed and ran a hand gently through his spiky tri colored hair. It felt so soft, nothing like you would imagine if you saw it. He noticed that his eyes were lined with the familiar black kohl that he normally wore and wondered how he could manage to pull off such a look.
Not to many other men could line their eyes and get away with it, but he guessed it was because he was once an Egyptian Pharaoh and that look just seemed to fit him perfectly. Of course not too many people would have questioned him then or now.
Jou leaned down and placed his lips to Yami's and wondered what it would be like to kiss the former monarch. His breath hitched in his throat as Yami let out a moan and turned his head so it was facing toward the ceiling now. Jou sighed in relief as he removed the hand from his heart. What if Yami awoke and found him leaning over him with his lips so close to his.
He sighed as he slowly stood and then cursed at himself for being such a coward. He did want to tell Yami how he felt, but he was beginning to re-think the way he was going about it. Sneaking into Yami's room in the middle of the night and drooling over him while he was asleep seemed to make him out to be some sort of sick minded stocker.
He started to the door and opened it when he heard rustling behind him and a soft moan. He turned around and found that Yami was sitting up in bed and tired crimson eyes that had some deep purple specks in them looking at him with curiosity.
"Jou what are you doing in my room?" Yami asked groggily as he cocked an eyebrow.
"Oh…umm…I came to check on ya to make sure everythin' was okay." Jou said as he rubbed the back of his head.
Yami gave a soft smile and Jou felt as though his heart would beat out of his chest.
"I feel fine thank you for your concern." Yami said as he placed a few of his blonde bangs behind his ear.
"Good, well I'm goin' to sleep now. I will see ya tomorrow mornin'." Jou said as he walked out of the door.
Before he closed it he heard Yami. "Good night, Jou."
He turned and gave a small smile. "Good night, Yam's"
Jou saw Yami lie back down and pull the covers up to his chin and slowly close his eyes. He shut the door as quietly as he could. As he walked down the stairs he mentally berated himself at how pathetic he was. He would tell Yami how he felt and the sooner the better. He just hoped he didn't chicken out again.

Then next morning Yugi was already in the kitchen making breakfast when Yami walked in and sat at the table. He turned around and saw that his dark looked more tired this morning than he did last night when he went to bed.
"Morning, would you like some pancakes?" Yugi asked as he gave Yami a smile.
"Sure, I am rather hungry this morning." Yami said as he looked at his hikari who had turned back and began to flip the pancakes to they wouldn't burn.
Yami looked up when he heard someone else enter the kitchen. "Good morning Jou."
"Hey, I smell food." Jou said as he smiled and sat at the table.
"Yep, Yugi is making pancakes." Yami gave a smile as he couldn't wait for his hikari to be done.
"Do you want some Jou?" Yugi asked as he placed three pancakes on a plate and sat them in front of Yami.
"Yuge, do ya need to ask?" Jou gave a big smile that caused both Yami and Yugi to laugh.
"Nope, I don't even know why I asked." Yugi shrugged as he poured more batter into the pan.
After about twenty minutes Yami and Yugi had finished their three pancakes, while Jou finished his ten. Both Yami and Yugi stared at their bottomless pit friend with wide eyes.
"Jou I can't believe of all the food you eat and never gain any weight." Yami said as he shook his head.
"I'm a growin' boy Yam's. I need to get all the food I can." Jou smiled as he looked at his friend who just shook his head once more at Jou's answer.
Just then the phone rang and Yugi jumped up to get it hoping it was his grandpa. He was never home any more and seemed to spend all of his time in Egypt with Professor Hawkins. Of course he did always send packages to Yugi and Yami of some of the many treasures that he did find.
"Hello, Motou residents." Yugi answered as politely as he could.
Both Jou and Yami looked at Yugi wondering who it was on the phone. He gave no indication as to who it was for the only thing he did was tell the person to hang on a second.
Yugi turned and gave Yami a smile. "It's for you."
Yami stood and took the phone from Yugi and walked into the living room to get some privacy.
"Hello"
"Hello love I was calling to see how you were feeling today?"
Yami sighed as he listened to the worry in his loves voice. "I am feeling a lot better today."
"That's good. I was really worried about you last night."
Yami listened to the concern in Seto's voice and he wondered if he should tell his boyfriend of the news that he had found out less than twenty four hours ago. He was worried of how Seto would react, but knew he had to tell him, since it was his child as well.
Of course he wouldn't tell him over the phone, it was the cowards' way out and he didn't think he could tell him at that moment anyway. That wasn't a very good phone conversation anyway. So he closed his eyes as he said his next sentence.
"Seto, love, will come over tonight? I have something very important to tell you." Yami said as he leaned back into the couch.
There was a long pause on the other end and Yami wondered if Seto had hung up on him. Maybe that wasn't the best way to word it? Yami mentally smacked himself for that one. Then to his relief Seto spoke.
"Why don't you tell me now?" Seto asked as he wondered what it was Yami had going through his mind.
Yami sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. "Because I would rather tell you in person and no this isn't some I want to break up with you shit."
Seto let out a breath of relief as he heard that last part. He had finally fallen in love and didn't want his life to be shattered by the only other person, aside from Mokuba, that he had given his heart to.
"Alright I will see you later tonight around six." Seto said.
"Great, I will see you then." Yami said as fear finally hit him.
He was going to tell Seto the news and hoped that he would take it well. He knew that this was going to be a life changing experience, but he didn't know how much of a change it would be.
They both said their goodbyes and Yami walked back into the kitchen to put the phone back, but as soon as he stood he felt the sick feeling coming back. He placed a hand to his stomach and stopped in the entry way. Both Yugi and Jou looked at him wondering what was going on.
All of a sudden Yami got pale and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead. Before either one of them could get to Yami he dropped the phone and placed a hand over his mouth and went running out the door. For he knew he could not make it to the bathroom in time so outdoors was the next best thing.
As soon as he stepped out the door he was on his knees releasing everthing in his stomach. Yugi and Jou were standing behind him as they looked at each other with worried eyes. Yugi went and kneeled beside Yami and pulled his bangs back so they wouldn't get anything on them.
"Jou go get a cold wash cloth and bring it to me." Yugi said as he turned and looked at his friend who could only stand and watch the sight before him.
Jou turned and made his way back into the house and upstairs and into the bathroom to get a wash cloth. As he ran it under the cold water the only thing he could think about was Yami and wondered what was happening to him. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was going on and Yami knew more than he was telling anyone.
He rang the wash cloth out and walked out of the bathroom and back downstairs. When he stepped outside he saw that Yami was now sitting up and Yugi was letting him lean against him. Yami looked up and gave a small smile to Jou as he handed Yugi the wash cloth.
"Thanks Jou." Yugi smiled as he took it and placed it on the back of Yami's neck and then ran it up his cheek to his forehead.
Yami closed his eyes as his hikari did this and let out a sigh. Dr. Hikaru told him that the morning sickness should be over soon, but he still had a while to go before he would be rid of it and may only get sick a few times for the duration of the pregnancy. He wished that it would be over with soon and he didn't have to empty his stomach almost every time he ate.
Yugi and Jou both looked at each other as Yami let out another sigh. Yugi looked back at Yami and began to rub his shoulders as he looked at the pain in his darks face. He knew something was wrong and Yami wasn't telling him. Of course Yami never told him when anything was wrong, for he didn't want to worry him. He just hoped Yami could handle whatever it was that was bothering him in such a way.
Yami opened crimson eyes and stared up at the two and then offered a small smile as he stood up. He knew that they could sense something was wrong just by the way they looked at him. He just couldn't bring himself to tell them what was really wrong. So he let them continue to think that he was just sick and not pregnant. He knew he would eventually have to tell them, but he wanted to tell Seto first, since it was the right thing to do.
"Thank you, both of you." Yami said as he gave a nod and brushed the dirt off his knees.
"Are you sure you are okay Yami?" Yugi asked as he looked into pained crimson eyes.
"Yes aibou I am fine. I think I am going to go take a shower." Yami walked past them and into the house.
Once they were both sure that Yami was upstairs they looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I'm really worried about him. He seems totally out of it." Yugi said as he looked at Jou with worried amethyst eyes.
"I know. I wonda what could be wrong with him. He isn't actin like the Yam's I know." Jou said as he looked at his friend.
Yugi just shook his head as he looked into worried honey eyes. "I don't know."
"Well we need to find out what's goin on with him." Jou said as he looked down at Yugi.
"Yeah, but it may not be that simple. Yami is not one to let his guard down and just talk about what is going on."
Both of them walked into the house and sat on the couch waiting for Yami to get done with his shower so they could ask him what was going on.

Yami stood letting the warm water flow down his back as he closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall. He was getting tired even though he had just woken up not too long ago. This whole pregnancy shit was getting on his nerves. He couldn't stop throwing up and soon his leather outfits wouldn't fit. That pissed him off more than anything.
He let out another sigh as ran both hands through his now wet shoulder length hair. Seto loved it when he would get in the shower and his hair would no longer be in its gravity defying spikes, but long and straight. Seto once told him that he needed to put gel in it to keep it like that for a day.
Yami smiled as he thought of Seto and how much he acted like a normal human being when he was around. He still had his company to think about, but when they were together he made it seem that Yami was the only thing his world revolved around.
He just hoped that after he told Seto that he was pregnant that it would still be that way. Knowing Seto he will want to use his technology to find out why and how he had gotten pregnant. He couldn't imagine telling Seto that he had both male and female organs. Well at least female on the internal. This could prove to be a very uncomfortable.
Once Yami was out of the shower he walked downstairs and looked at his two friends on the couch. He wondered how they would take the news. Yugi would probably accept it, but it would probably freak Jou out. Hell it freaked him out.
Jou turned around and gave Yami a little smile. "Hey bud how ya fellin?"
"Better now that I have had a shower." Yami smiled as he flopped down on the chair.
"That's good." Yugi said as he looked at his dark with a big smile.
"Well I think that it's my turn to take a shower. I'll be back down in a few." Yugi said smiling as he got up and walked toward the stairs leaving Jou and Yami together.
Jou looked at Yami who was leaning back in the recliner with his hands on his stomach and wondered if he was feeling any better. He seemed to look it. So he decided that now would be a good time to tell him how he felt.
He scooted closer toward the end of the couch near Yami and looked into deep crimson eyes. Yami arched an eyebrow as he looked at his friend and wondered what was going on. Jou saw this and looked down at the floor. He felt intimidated by the Pharaoh and wondered how he would take the confession.
Jou cleared his throat as he continued to look at the floor. "Yami I need to tell ya somethin."
Yami looked at his friend and wondered why he was acting so weird. "Well…what is it?"
Jou still didn't look up at Yami as he began to rub his hands together as a nervous habit. He couldn't chicken out again. He needed for Yami to know how he felt.
"Well…this isn't easy for me to jus' come out and say." Jou still looked at the floor instead of at Yami.
"Jou you know you can tell me anything." Yami gave a smile as he looked at his friend who still was not looking at him.
Jou looked up into crimson eyes and saw that Yami had leaned forward and had his elbows resting on his knees looking intently at him. He loved Yami, so why was it so hard to say? Why could he not just come out and say that he had loved him ever since Duelist Kingdom. At first he thought he loved Yugi, but then found out that he had been in love with Yami the whole time.
"Jou…please tell me what is bothering you. I can sense it and it is very unsettling." Yami said as he placed a hand on Jou's knee.
"Y-Yami…I-I…" Jou couldn't say it as he continued to stare into crimson eyes.
Well if he couldn't say it then maybe other actions would prove more effective for him. So he did the unexpected.
"Jou…" Yami was cut off as Jou grabbed his shoulders and pulled him into a heated, passionate kiss.
Jou was in heaven as he tasted Yami and found that he tasted like cinnamon and other spices. He closed his eyes as he placed his hand behind Yami's neck and pulled him closer.
Yami on the other hand was so shocked by Jou's action that he didn't even know what to do. He stared wide eyed at Jou who continued to ravish his mouth.
Jou pulled back and looked at Yami with lust filled honey eyes. While Yami just stared back with wide crimson orbs. Then before Yami could say anything or move Jou was back on top of him kissing him and running his hands through Yami's tri colored hair.
The only thing that ran through Yami's mind was what Seto would do if he ever found out, but he knew one thing Jou would be in deep shit.
Tbc…
