Okay, hopefully this gets up without the problems I had with the last chapter. I also hope the explanation that comes up is satisfactory, because last time I did male pregnancy, I got blasted real bad.

Chapter Six- Family

Kaiba awoke the next morning to find he was naked in the bed and the covers up over his head. He pushed them off and strode into his private bathroom to shower and dress. Joey and I had a very good time last night. Perhaps we'll do it again tonight. After all, the full moon still has tonight and tomorrow before waning again.

Kaiba emerged from the bathroom to see a covered up form still in bed. He smirked. Joey was a heavy sleeper and was definitely not an early bird. He sat down on the empty side of the bed before reaching over and shaking the sleeping form. "Rise and shine sleepyhead."

He heard a yawn and a sleepy voice murmur, "Just five more minutes, mom."

"You're not getting five more minutes and I'm not your mom."

"Huh? Oh…good morning, Seto."

"You better get up and get dressed for the day. I'll have my butler drive you around wherever you want and back here afterwards."

"Okay. You know, you are so lucky to miss school because of business."

"Perhaps. But then, I can't spend the whole day with you."

Joey chuckled. "Yeah, that's a shame." The sheets rustled as Joey surfaced.

Kaiba blinked several times in surprise as he stared at the gold wolf sitting beside him. He looked at the curtained window to see sunlight streaming in between the gap in the curtains before looking back at the wolf. Did our sex last night affect Joey somehow?

Joey looked down at himself and let out a surprised yelp. "What the hell?"

"Seto, what's going on?" Joey whimpered, several minutes later. "It's daylight, but I'm still a wolf."

"Hang on, Joey. I'm looking." Kaiba scanned the various werewolf links that his search presented to him until he found one on sexual practices. He clicked on it and quickly read through the contents. He let out a silent whistle after he finished and leaned back in his seat.

"What? What?" Joey asked anxiously.

Kaiba licked his lips. "Well, according to this page, the reason you're still a wolf is because…you're pregnant."

"Say WHAT!?"

"Yes. You can use human speech during the day only. It also says that you can't change until after birth, but you'll change back every night for a month so that the pups can get their milk."

"But, why am I the one who got pregnant? Why not you?"

"You initiated the sex so you got pregnant."

"Okay. So, when will I give birth and how come the pups will only get the milk at night?"

"Delivery should come in six to eight weeks. Baby formula will sustain the pups because they'll be human during the day."

"They will?" Joey's eyes grew wide and round.

"Of course, they will. You're a werewolf, Joey. Therefore, so will the pups."

"Hold on. Delivery in six to eight weeks? Oh, man. I'm stuck as a wolf for two months. This sucks."

Kaiba smiled in sympathy. "I'm sorry Joey. I didn't think pregnancy would occur between two males."

"Well, I didn't either. There's nothing we can do now, but let the pregnancy proceed."

"If it will make you feel better about this, I can change at night."

"You would be willing to be a wolf every night during the pregnancy? Really?"

"Really. I love you after all and I want to do what I can to support you during your time of need."

"I would feel better if you did change every night, but you don't have to. I know that you have a company to run and surely that has some nighttime meetings."

"You have a point. All right. Whenever there aren't nighttime dealings, I'll change."

"Deal." Joey paused before saying, "Seto?"

"Yes, Joey?"

"Uh, how am I supposed to give birth?"

Kaiba clenched a fist. "Oh, right! I forgot to tell you. When you're about one to two weeks away from delivering, you'll become a female wolf."

"WHAT!? I'll become a girl!?"

"Yeah. After birth, you'll be a human boy during the day and a female wolf at night for a month so that the pups can get their milk."

"Great. I'll be a girl at night for a month."

Kaiba decided to work from his home office that day so that he could answer any questions that Joey might ask. It turned out that Joey was more tired than he realized. It was possible that all the excitement of learning about the pregnancy caught up with him and he was soon curled up beside the desk and fast asleep. Kaiba didn't have the heart to wake the wolf and tell him to sleep in their bed, so he left Joey there while he focused on his work. He stopped work around four-thirty and called the cook to have dinner brought to his chambers. He then knelt beside his mate and gently shook him. "Joey, time to get up."

The gold wolf mumbled something before he opened his eyes and blinked up at him. He got up and stretched his limbs, his mouth opening in a yawn. "Man that was a good sleep. Is it almost dinnertime? I'm hungry."

Kaiba laughed. That sounded like typical Joey. "I'm having dinner sent up to my room. Since you'll be a wolf day and night for about two months, I better start dining in my room and especially on full moon nights."

"Oh, yeah. There's still two full moon nights left."

Kaiba carefully led Joey through the mansion just as he had done that morning. He opened his bedroom and Joey had just slipped in when the brunette heard a voice say, "Seto, aren't you coming down for dinner?" He turned to see Mokuba standing there with a puzzled expression on his face.

"I decided to eat in my room tonight," he answered.

"Why? Are you sick?"

"No, I'm perfectly fine."

"So, why eat up here?"

Kaiba thought fast and came to the conclusion that he would have to tell Mokuba the truth. "I'll tell you a bit later. Please go down and eat for now. Come up to my room before dark and I'll explain everything."

"Okay, big brother." Mokuba bounded downstairs and Kaiba entered his room to find Joey standing there open-mouthed at him.

"Seto! What are you thinking?"

"If I'm going to keep having dinner sent up every night with no explanation, Mokuba will get suspicious. Plus, he's going to be an uncle and deserves to know."

"Oh. Yeah, you got a point."

Mokuba knocked on the door an hour later and he heard Kaiba say, "Come in." The young boy opened the door to see his brother seated in a computer chair with a gold dog lying next to him…or was that a wolf? It certainly looked big enough to be a wolf. Kaiba gestured to a chair sitting in front of his chair. Mokuba sat down and waited for Kaiba to explain.

Kaiba inhaled and slowly exhaled before saying, "I should tell you that everything I'm about to say is going to sound strange and unbelievable, but it's the truth."

"I know you would never lie to me, Seto."

"Okay. I fell in love about a month ago and it was with Joey Wheeler. I was looking for a gift to give him to show my love and bought this pendent." Kaiba reached into a drawer and held up the pendent that caused all this trouble. "I gave it to Joey the day after I bought it at a private picnic. The sun was setting as we left the park and the next thing I know, Joey had turned into a wolf."

Mokuba's eyes widened and darted to the wolf at Kaiba's side. "Joey?" he asked softly.

Joey nodded. "Yeah, it's me, Mokuba."

Mokuba gasped. "You can still talk!"

"Yeah, but not at night."

"Anyway," Kaiba interjected. "I found out the pendent turns a person into a werewolf. A new werewolf changes every night for a week before controlling the changes except for the full moon. I decided to wear the pendent that very night so we could be together as wolves."

"So, you're a wolf too, Seto?"

"That's right and for some strange reason, two males could produce offspring with the result being that Joey is now pregnant."

"P-p-pregnant?"

"Yes. He has to stay a wolf until after birth. Then he'll be human during the day and a wolf at night for a month.

"I felt it necessary to tell you Mokuba because you're going to be an uncle and I didn't want you walking in on us during a full moon and seeing me change without understanding why this was happening."

"Are you dangerous when you change?"

"No. I just can't talk at night, or at least, not in words you would understand.

"The sun's almost down, so I need you to leave. I'll see you in the morning, Mokuba."

"Okay. Good night, Seto. Good night, Joey." Mokuba left the room, closing the door behind him and Seto locked the door before getting undressed.

"Wow. Mokuba took it well. I didn't think he'd believe it."

"Like he said: I wouldn't lie to him. He will help to see that you don't starve when I do go in to the office."

"Which you'll do after tomorrow night."

Kaiba nodded before he felt a tingling go through his body. He dropped to his hands and knees, noticing that his fur coat had already appeared. He felt his tail swishing against his legs as his knees reversed direction and he was soon standing on four paws. He felt his muzzle push out and his ears grow pointy and move up his head. He howled as the change completed itself and Joey howled in response before padding over and rubbing cheeks with the brown wolf. Kaiba closed his eyes, enjoying the sensation. These simple touches aroused him in a way that he wouldn't have felt in human form. I never realized how emotional I get when I'm a wolf. I like these feelings. He licked Joey on the ear before giving it a light nip.

Joey yipped slightly. **Hey! What was that for?**

**What? I can't give you a love nip every now and then?**

**Love nip? Seto, you feelin' okay?**

**I'm fine. I just feel like showing my emotions more when I'm a wolf. I kind of like expressing them.**

**Oh, I get what you're sayin'. Maybe that's why it didn't take much to get you to be sexual with me.**

**I think that's exactly it. Now, let's get some sleep.**
