Chapter 9: A Baby in the Midst of Chaos *Julia's POV The baby is due any day*

So, where shall I begin? The baby is making more of a fuss as it draws closer to the time of his birth. I haven't spoken to Bakura since he asked for a break. I've tried, but he won't let me until I see Yami again and figure out what my feelings are toward him. I'm so confused. I hold my head in my hands. What am I going to do?

See Yami again and notice whether or not you still love him. Camille and Layla firmly say to me about the same time.

You do realize how creepy it is when you guys do that? I reply shortly.

Yeah well it's the truth Julia. Camille fires back. You say his name in your fucking sleep! What did you think Bakura was going to think?

I slap my forehead mentally. That is what this is fucking about! He never gave me a real freaking reason to do this! I rush to find him. "Where are you?" I whisper to myself. I search the entire house and couldn't find him. Well, does that mean I should find Yami?

Yes. Layla's gentle voice replies this time. I walk out of my apartment and go to Yugi's apartment. "Yugi?" I knock on the door.

Yami of course has to answer. He smirks. "Hello Julia." I look into his eyes and feel nothing. "What?"

"Nothing." I break the eye contact. "Is Yugi home?"

"No, but my girlfriend is." Yami was getting impatient.

Now's a better time than never. I crash my lips to his and again feel nothing. I pull away and leave. "Thanks for the experiment." I yell over my shoulder at his shocked expression. I smirk. That's for everything douchebag. I go back to the apartment and try to search for Bakura again. I still couldn't find him. Camille where is he?

On his way home pissed as the devil. What the hell did you do? She worries over me.

He won't harm me Camille. I reassure her. I hear his footsteps coming closer. "What if I'm wrong?" Bakura bursts into the room. "Hello." I try to keep my expression neutral. "Where have you been?"

"Passing by and saw you with Yami." He can't hide the bitterness in his voice. "How was that passionate kiss?"

"It wasn't passionate or good." I stand up and face him. "Do you know why I did that?"

"Why?" Bakura glares at me.

"Because I felt absolutely nothing when I saw him. I didn't think you would accept that answer so to make sure I kissed him. Guess what I felt?" I smile.

"Happiness?" His heart has split and I can see his defeat on his face.

"No, I felt nothing." I dance over to him. "I feel love and comfort in yours, but with him, it's just a kiss. It means absolutely nothing." I hug him tightly and cry. "I love you Bakura. Did I get the right result? Can you take me back?"

Bakura's barrier fell and I feel his arms tighten around me. "Nothing makes me happier." He strokes my hair and kisses my head. I look up into his eyes and get lost in them. This is how it's supposed to be.

"Oh no, I have something that will make your day!" I pull away. "Guess who was there when I did that!"

"Who?"

"Tea!" I laugh. "I love revenge."

He laughs and kisses me roughly. "Guess what was even better that you didn't see."

"What?"

"He wanted you back. Yami felt something in that kiss." Bakura smiles down at me. "I'm rewarded with the most beautiful woman in the world that even the pharaoh yearns for."

I smile up at him and hold onto him. "I'm not that special."

"To me you are." He plays with my hair again. Then the front door bursts open. Immediately, Bakura pushes me onto the couch and pulls out two random knives out of his back pocket. Where the fuck does he put those? Yami and Tea come through the door. "What are you two doing here and how did you get through the door?" He aims his knives.

"Where the hell is Julia? She owes us some sort of an apology." Tea speaks in her annoyingly girly pathetic voice. "I mean, our friendship can be revived if only she would say she is sorry."

"Well, friendship woman, you have to get through me." Bakura gets ready to kill, but Ryou and Camille walk into the apartment.

"No! Bad Bakura!" Ryou yells. "These are guests."

"No, these idiots broke into the apartment!" Bakura yells back. I lay on the couch silently. Suddenly I feel warm liquid run down my legs. Intense pain in my lower abdomen starts and the baby kicks.

"No! Not now!" I yell. I grip my stomach urgently. The others haven't noticed between the fighting. CAMILLE THE FUCKING BABY IS COMING! I yell at her.

"WHAT!" Camille jumps over the couch and kneels in front of me. "Are you sure?"

The rhythmic throbs from below are distracting. "YES!" I scream. Bakura runs over and lifts me up from the couch. "Bakura," I cry. "The baby is coming!" He doesn't hesitate. He runs out of the apartment and to the hospital two blocks away. "Will you stay with me?" I ask him as he lowers me down on a hospital bed.

"Yes, why wouldn't I?" Bakura kisses my forehead. "I wouldn't miss this for the world." Soon Camille and Ryou come in. "The contractions aren't close enough yet. It will be a while." Camille holds Julia's hand. "She will be alright Camille." Bakura tries to sooth her.

"No! Don't tell me what you don't know!" She yells back.

"Camille, I'm going to be okay." I smile.

"If you die, can I kill him?" Camille asks. Bakura turns away from us at the mention of my possible death.

"No! The child needs one parent!" I shake my head. "And I'm not going to die!" But, then I cry out from a contraction. Bakura rushes to my side and holds my other hand. "I'm going to be okay." I manage.

"I'm here." He kisses my forehead.

"Camille, why don't we go wait for Akefia and Layla." Ryou suggests.

"I can't leave her." Camille looks panicked.

"Camille," She turns to me. "This isn't good for you. You are going to worry over everything and think I'm going to die every time I scream. Go with Ryou." I smile at her. "I'm in good hands."

"If you were, you wouldn't be pregnant." She mumbles as she leaves the room.

"Don't listen to her." I stroke his cheek. "I'm happy we are having a family."

"I'm going to worry over everything too Julia." Bakura kisses my cheek.

"But you won't be talking about my death every time I need to scream in pain." Then another contraction came and I grip his hand tightly and scream. Tears start to form in his eyes, but he doesn't say anything. Bakura just nuzzles my neck and stays next to me. "I'm sorry."

He looks up then. "Julia," Bakura starts, but I couldn't stand what he was going to say.

"No, don't tell me not to apologize!" I interrupt him. "If I didn't want a family, you wouldn't be sad or miserable!"

"Julia," He let the tears fall now. "I want a family because of you. I just wish you didn't have to go through so much pain for it. It's my fault you are in pain."

"No," I start to argue, but I end up screaming from a contraction and squeezing his hand. Bakura doesn't even flinch. "Don't I hurt you when I squeeze your hand tightly?"

He sighs. "It's uncomfortable, but you need it." Bakura kisses my forehead. "I'm here for you." The nurse finally comes in followed by the rest of our weird family. I sigh in relief. Ryou restrains Camille while the nurse and Bakura help me through the delivery. I'm in so much pain I can't see anything. I feel the rhythmic painful throbs and feel the baby moving with each push I give. Every cry I give Bakura flinches. He holds on tightly and tries not to cry in front of everyone. After forever went by, I hear a high pitched wail. "It's a girl." Bakura smiles.

"Oh, I thought it was going to be a boy." I smile. "This girl is going to beat up all of the boys." I giggle. Bakura cuts her umbilical cord. After the doctors cleaned her, Bakura hands me our beautiful child and kisses my forehead.

"You did great." He smiles down at her. "What is her name going to be?"

"Serena." I smile.

Bakura kisses me a little rougher and kisses Serena's forehead gently. "Welcome to our family dear Serena." He looks so handsome when he looks at her. "I'm your daddy." I giggle at him. "And that beautiful woman is your mommy." I kiss him sweetly and he blushes. "Let's let mommy rest." Bakura lifts up our little girl gently. "You are so small. Daddy will teach you how to scare away boys." He snuggles her. "Because none of them are allowed touching my princess." I smile up at him. "Good night Julia. We will be here when you awaken." I nod slowly and fall asleep quickly with my family on my mind.
