I'm back with the new chapter of Our Future Together! This might be a long chapter. I don't know, I just type. On with the chapter now! Enjoy, my friends!
Chapter 10: The Announcement
''Seto, I look fat!''Serenity cried.
Seto sighed.''For the hundredth time, Serenity.''he said.''You haven't gained a pound.'' Seto was dressed in a black tuxedo with a red tie.
Tonight, Serenity wanted to announce to her closes friends and relatives that she was pregnant. So Seto made plans, and planned a dinner at Domino City Hall, the most expensive hotel in town owned by the Kaibas for generations.
Serenity disagreed with her husband.''I have! The weight of the baby is already getting to me.''
Seto stood up from his sit in their room, and walked over Serenity. He grabbed her right hand, leading her to the full view body mirror.''You look fine just the way you are.''he said gently.
''Really?''Serenity asked. Serenity was dressed in a light peach, laced dress with puffed sleeves. The dressed stopped at her toes, and she wore white heels. The maids put her hair in a beautiful french roll.
''Yes. You look absolutely beautiful.'' Seto replied. Serenity leaned in closer, closing the gap between them. A small kiss turned into a deep passionate.
Their moment was once again interrupted by Mokuba who was dressed in a tuxedo and blue tie. He slammed the door open, yelling their names.''Seto! Serenity! I will be heading with Re- Oh.''he stopped. His older brother and sister-in-law stopped mid kiss.
Mokuba pointed to Serenity and Seto.''Was I interrupting something?''he aksed.''Because if did, you guys can't go any further because we need to get going.''
Seto glared at his younger brother.''Mokuba, you are-''Seto was cut in the middle of his sentence by a seventeen year old girl with long, blonde, wavy hair. She was dressed in a sleeveless blue dress with a white jacket over it.''Mokuba!''
''OW!''Mokuba winced as his girlfriend pulled him by his ear.''Rebecca!''
She glared fiercely at Mokuba.''I told you about not knocking.''she hissed.''For once, give your brother and Serenity some privacy.''
''I was just telling them it was time to go!''he cried.
''Well, you could have at least knocked. God, Mokuba.''Rebecca rolled her eyes at Mokuba. Mokuba grunted in response.
Rebecca turned her eyes from Mokuba to Serenity and Seto.''You look beautiful Serenity.''she smiled.
''Thank you.''Serenity smiled back.
''Oh, so you're all nice to her, but not to me.''Mokuba mumbled.
Rebecca sighed.''Seto, Serenity, we will be heading off to pick up Mokuba's other friends. See ya.''with that, Rebecca dragged her boyfriend to the car.
Serenity laughed at their childishness.''We better be heading out.''
''Yeah.''Seto agreed.
~Domino City Hall~
Once Roland pulled up in front of the hotel, he opened the door for Master and Mistress. Serenity was the first to come out, then Seto. They were both welcome with camera flashes and news reporters, asking questions about the important announcement the Kaibas needed to make.
Once inside the building, Serenity spotted all her friends talking to each other in a group. She whispered in to Seto's ear, and he grunted in response.
Serenity glared at her husband.''Seto.''she hissed.
''Fine.''Seto agreed.''But if that mu- I mean Joey causes any problems for me, I'm kicking him out.''
Serenity giggled.''Come on, Seto.'' she said grabbing his hand into hers, and dragging him to Serenity's group of friends.
''Joey!''Serenity ran up to her brother giving him a big hug.
''Ay, Serenity.''Joey said spinning her around.''How's my favorite little sister been doing?''
Serenity laughed.''Good. Seto and I have been enjoying our time together.''
Joey frowned at Seto's name. He narrowed his eyes at Seto.''Kaiba.''
''Joey.''Seto glared.
Serenity stepped in between the two.''Guys, just for one day. For me?''Serenity pleaded to her husband and older brother. Joey and Seto grunted in response.
''Serenity, you always know how to make those two stop fighting before they even get physical.''Tea said holding a one year old baby in her arms.
''Tea.''Serenity smiled at her friend.'' And Atem, you've grown much bigger since last time I saw you.''
''Yeah. He looks like a miniature version of his father except for the eyes and skin complexion.''Tea explained.
''You get your crazy hair from Yugi, don't you, Yasir? Don't you?''Serenity gushed at Yasir making him laugh.
Serenity counted her friends.''Speaking of which, where is Yugi and Mai.''
''Yugi went to go get the baby bag while Mai went to go get a drink.''she explained.
''Oh.''Serenity frowned.''I'll go talk to her then.''
As Serenity walked over to Mai, she thought back to other day when she yelled at her. She thought she shouldn't have exploded on Mai like that, so the first thing she was going to do is apologize.
''Mai.''Serenity called her name.
Mai smiled at Serenity.''Hey, hon. What's up?''
''I have something to tell you first.''Serenity frowned.
''What?''Mai aksed.
''I'm sorry about my outburst the other day. It must have been from the hormones. I'm so sorry!''Serenity cried out.''
''That's okay, hon. I should have never insulted Kaiba like that.''Mai aplogized.
Serenity smiled.''That's okay. Friends still?''Serenity questioned with her arms out.
''Friends.''Mai answered hugging Serenity.
Serenity pulled away.''Well, it's about time for Set and I to make our announcement.''
''Then let's go.''Mai smiled pulling Serenity over to the rest of the gang.
~Announcement Time~
Serenity and Seto walked on the stage hand-in-hand. Serenity was really excited about this. She was finally getting to tell everybody she was pregnant.
Set was also excited, but he wasn't going to admit that. Set grabbed the microphone, and started speaking.''Ladies and Gentlemen, me and my beautiful wife of three weeks would like to make an announcement.''He turned to Serenity with love and devotion in his eyes.
The crowd of people started to wonder what announcement they had to make. Joey and Duke were hoping it wasn't what they wer thinking. Tea was hoping it was what she was thinking. Yugi didn't mind if it was what he was thinking. Rebecca and Mokuba's friends were trying to figure out what it could be . And Mokuba and Mai already knew, so they didn't care.
Seto passed the the microphone to Serenity. Serenity smiled at the crowd.''We're going to have a baby!''she said excitedly.
The crowd started clapping and cheering for the couple. Seto and Serenity kissed each other; a kiss full of love and happiness. They pulled away smiling at each other.
Some of Serenity's friends and relatives loved the idea of her having a baby; but others, for some reason, didn't like the idea of Serenity having a baby at all.
Joey was shocked his sister was having a baby with..with Kaiba! This made Joey feel absolutely uncomfortable about this situation. He shifted uncomfortably where he was standing, and decided to take a breather outside.
Duke was fuming! How could the girl he loves be pregnant! And the father was that bastard of a CEO! Duke hated this, but he understood that it was love that made this baby, not something unwanted. He remembered when Serenity announced to them she was getting married to Kaiba. He had tried to change her mind about the marriage, but ended up getting slapped. Twice. Duke now decided to not be a jealous friend, but a friend that would help support the another friend.
Tristan was happy for Serenity. He had gotten over his crush on her along time ago. His girlfriend was now Miho. She was beautiful and someone made especially for him. Of course, he was going to be an uncle to the baby. He'd get that baby to like him more than Joey. That became one of his goals for the first day the baby was born.
Tea did actions before thoughts. She rushed over to Serenity, and gave her a mind gripping hug.''You are having a baby! Oh, Serenity! I can't believe this is happening.''she squealed.
Mai walked over to them with a smirk.''Doesn't matter to me anymore. I already knew.''Mai said until she saw the look on Serenity's face.''I mean, it matters, but I already knew, so it's not a big surprise to me.''she explained.
Serenity smiled, Tea gaped.''You knew about this?! Serenity, how could you?!''Tea cried.''She got to know you were having a baby first!''she pouted like a two year old.
Serenity laughed.''Sorry, Tea.
Tea's eyes glistened.''Now, we need to start planning a baby shower starting tomorrow!'' Serenity sweat.''Um, I'm only three weeks pregnant, Tea.''
''I don't care! I-'' but she was interrupted by a clear of the throat.
Seto was on the stage with the microphone in his hand again.''I would like to announce that I have arranged a special dance for my wife and I.'' The guest started cheering and clapping.
''I guess that's your cue.''Mai smiled.
Serenity smiled back.''I guess too.'' Serenity walked towards Seto. Once she was in front of him, she grabbed his hand that was he was holding out for her. Serenity grabbed it with a smile, and let Seto's hands wrap around her waist.
Mai smiled at the married couple. She decided she needed a drink, but noticed Joey on the balcony outside with his head hung down. Mai walked towards him and tapped him on the shoulder.
''What wrong, hon?''
Joey cast his eyes up to the full moon.''I can't believe she's pregnant already and they have only been married for three weeks.''Joey was happy for Serenity but he just wasn't sure about this.
''Oh, come on, Joey,''Mai said grabbing his hand.'' You know Serenity has always wanted to marry and have children.''
Joey glanced at Mai.''I know that, but can't she just live her life first and see things before she rushes into motherhood. Once you get married and have children it's over, you can't be yourself and do whatever you want.''he explained to the blonde haired woman.
''Joey, don't be ridiculous,''Mai laughed.''That's not always true. And Serenity is smart, she knows what she's doing. Mai placed a kiss on his lips.
Joey blushed.''I hope your right, Mai.''Joey said as he too yet took another sip of his wine and glanced at Seto and his sister who were still slow dancing.
~With Seto and Serenity~
As Seto and Serenity are dancing, Serenity is excitedly talking to her husband.''Oh, Seto! I'm so happy, we're are finally having a baby! I hope it's a girl! I want to make sure she has everything a little girl could and desire to have! Oh, I have so much to teach her!''Serenity squealed.
Set shook his head back and forth.''Woah, woah, woah. Slow down, Serenity. Whatever we're having, we will still love him or her.''he chuckled a little.
''Seto, you're okay with this, right?'' Serenity asked Seto for what seemed like the hundredth time.
''Serenity, I've told you I'm okay with.''he said as he gently caressed Serenity's still flat belly.
Serenity took her hand and placed it on top of Seto's hand that was on her flat belly and she smiled up at him.''Everything will be just fine, my love.''he smiled warmly at her.
''Oh, Seto! I love you!'' Serenity said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
And for the time being, they continued to dance to the slow rhythm of the music. Serenity, now more than ever feeling reassured and content that her new marriage and new found pregnancy was a blessing from the gods. She was so unbelievably happy and excited to be a parent and have a wonderful , intelligent and a successful and powerful husband.
Aww! This chapter was too cute to me! Well, until next time!
