Chapter Nine

Since the young ones were going to be out of school for a few months, Solomon talked to Ishizu and Seto and they decided to hire a Tutor and it had to be someone that they all knew and trusted not to tell about why Joey and the others weren't in school and then Ishizu got an idea and told Solomon and Seto "I have the perfect person for the job, I will contact the person and get back to you two when I find out if it is going to work out."

She called the University of Cairo and talked to the head of the University and asked if Odeon could talk a sabbatical because of a family problem in Domino?

The Dean told her that it would be alright and then she called and talked to Odeon whom she considered her brother and asked if he could come home there was a family problem that she needed his help with?

Odeon told her "You know that I'll be on the next flight out" and then he heard Seto Kaiba's voice "The company jet will be waiting to bring you back here." Now Odeon was really intrigued as to what was going on, but if Ishizu asked him to come home then he knew that she really needed him.

It was a Monday morning when there was a knock on the door of the Manor and when Roland answered it, he smiled and held out his hand and said "It's good to see you again old friend." Odeon shook his hand and told him "That it is, that it is."

Malik heard a familiar voice and when he and Marik came downstairs there stood his older brother and tears filled his eyes and he said "Brother, you came home."

Odeon went to him and got down on one knee and hugged his younger brother and shook hands with Marik and then he touched Malik's stomach and said "So I'm to become an Uncle am I?"

Ishizu, Shadi and Solomon all stood there beside Roland as they witnessed the love that the two brothers had for each other and then Ishizu said "Alright, one of the reason's Odeon came home was to tutor all of you so that none of you get far behind the others in your studies."

That's when Joey, Seto, Yami, Yugi, Ryou and Bakura walked down the stairs and they heard what Ishizu said and smiled came to their faces. Even though they didn't really love school, they all missed learning and having something to keep them busy and not having to sit around with nothing to do.

Odeon stood up and smiled as he saw the others and then he said "School will begin at seven o'clock tomorrow morning so get ready to do some work."

Joey, Yugi, Ryou and Malik all said "Yes, Teacher." That caused everyone including Odeon to start laughing.

After they all had gone, Joey sat on the couch next to Seto and they were talking when all of a sudden Joey grabbed Seto's hand and put it on his stomach and tears filled both their eyes, their son was kicking and Seto looked at Joey and kissed him and whispered "Our son is getting stronger."

It wasn't very long before all of the Yami's were able to feel their babies kicking and they all were just as emotional as Seto and Joey were. It was about the same time that Ishizu decided that they didn't have to pretend with the dolls anymore and she called Roland and asked him "to tell the others that tomorrow she would be there to collect the dolls."

Today is the first day of class and as they all sat in the den waiting for Odeon to begin, Malik was rubbing his stomach and Odeon asked "Brother are you alright?"

Malik smiled and said "My son is very active today, come here and give me your hand." Odeon placed his hand on Malik's stomach and the baby started kicking and Odeon smiled at his brother. "He really is moving around today isn't he?" Malik smiled and nodded his head yes.

Odeon began class by telling them that their teachers sent him some kind of an idea what they were learning and what the class would be doing and so he handed each of them a schedule of what they would be doing all this week and gave each of them a packet of things that they needed to do. "I will be here to help should any of you not understand anything in that packet."

Now each of the young ones had something to occupy their brains with and help the time pass quicker till the birth of their babies. So each of them started with the first sheet and as they all read in silence smiled came to their faces as they began their first day of school.

Each day Odeon was there at seven o'clock sharp and he began each day with reviewing what they did the previous day in case anyone had any questions and then he began with that day's lesson.

As the young ones were in class the Yami's and Seto were reading up on the delivery and how to take care of babies from the books that Ishizu gave them, so in a weird way they were also in school. One day when Mokuba got home from school he stood in the doorway and just watch them all sitting there talking about how the books said to take care of babies and he started laughing and Seto looked up and said "Is there something that you want?"

Mokuba came into the room and he looked at them and he said "Ishizu gave you those books as a reference of how different fathers wrote that how they did this or that, she didn't mean for you to memorize everything. Don't any of you know that your babies might do things differently and all of you will have to do things differently then what is written in those books?"

Seto looked at his brother and he stood up and said "How the hell did you get so smart about taking care of babies at your age?"

Mokuba then said "Seto even I know that each of your babies are going to be and do things differently then the other ones babies so it only seems right that each of you will be learning just like each of those fathers did that wrote thing for that book?"

Yami then smiled at him and he said "Will you teach me the song that you sang that night so I will know the words in case our son gets fussy and I could sing him to sleep?" The others asked him to teach them too. Then Seto laughed and said "Alright please teach me that song too."

Mokuba said "This is a song that my friend Tommy's mother always sings to his baby sister, it's call Hush Little Baby."

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

As Mokuba was teaching them to sing the song, in the doorway stood Odeon, Joey, Yugi, Ryou and Malik and the young ones had tears in their eyes as they listened to their Yami's and Seto learning to sing to their babies. "They really do love the idea of becoming fathers don't they?" Malik said.

Odeon put his arms around them and he said "Yes little brother they do."
