Chapter 10- Wedding Plans

~Two Months Later~

It had been three months since Yami had proposed to Yugi, and everything was going great for the couple.

Ryou had given birth to his and Bakura's second child, who was a boy they had named Richard.

Everyone was doing great with their own lives.

Amara, Sharon, and Mana had deeply immersed themselves into planning Yugi and Yami's wedding, although the planning was going slow because the three were planning a rather elaborate wedding, much to Yugi and Yami's dismay.


"Mom, there is no need for all this." Yami said as he tried, once again, to convince his mother that there was no need for such an elaborate wedding.

Amara waved him off. "Nonsense, Yami. You and Yugi deserve the best wedding possible." Amara said.

Yami sighed. "Mom, Yugi and I don't need such a fancy wedding. Something simple will suit us." Yami said.

"Yami, you and Yugi said that we had free reign over this wedding, so Sharon, Mana, and I agree on everything." Amara said.

Yami sighed. 'I wish that they hadn't convinced me and Yugi to give them free reign over this wedding.' Yami thought.

~Flashback~

Yugi and Yami had asked Sharon, Mana, and Amara to talk with them before they began the wedding plans.

"Okay. We're going to let you plan the wedding." Yugi said.

"Excellent." Sharon said with a smile.

"And we know that we're getting married in April. We just haven't agreed on a definite date yet." Yami added.

"No need to worry. We can work around that for now." Amara said.

"And we don't want anything fancy." Yugi said.

"But-" Mana started.

"No, Mana. Yugi and I agreed that we would much rather have a small wedding." Yami said.

"Yami, you only get married once. You need to go all out." Amara protested.

"Mom, Yugi and I don't need that." Yami said.

"You can't be serious." Sharon said.

"Mom, it's what we want." Yugi said with a smile.

Amara shook her head. "Now, boys. I think that we need-" Amara started.

Sharon smiled. "Of course, boys. You just give us free reign of the wedding." Sharon said.

"That's all we ask, and you have it." Yami said.

~End Flashback~

'Me and my big mouth.' Yami thought,

As it turned out, Sharon had duped them big time.

The second that Yugi and Yami had said that three had free reign over the wedding, the three had set to work planning a fancy, elaborate wedding, and they always reminded Yugi and Yami that they were given free reign over the wedding by Yugi and Yami themselves.

"Now, we need to go talk with someone about a cake." Amara said.

"Mom, can you please just try to tone things down a bit?" Yami asked.

Amara waved him off once again. "Stop worrying so much, Yami. You're going to love this wedding." Amara said before she walked off.

Yami rubbed his temples. 'Yugi's right. I put my foot in my mouth when I agreed to let them have free reign over the wedding.' Yami thought.


Yugi was sitting in the living room with Terrance and Jaden.

The two boys were playing a game in the floor, and they had convinced Yugi to play with them.

Terrance then made a move.

That was the door opened and closed.

"Yami, is that you?" Yugi asked.

"Of course." Yami said as he walked into the living room. He then walked over and kissed Yugi on the cheek.

"Hi, Daddy." Terrance said.

"Hey, little man. Chutes and ladders again?" Yami asked.

"You know that they love this game." Yugi said with a smile.

However, Yami could easily see Yugi's irritation at playing the game.

Yami understood why.

Jaden and Terrance had fallen in love with the game, and they wanted to play it all the time. In the last week, Yugi and Yami had both played the game a dozen times, and that was literal.

Yugi and Yami were ready to murder Lucas for buying the game for the boys.

Before long, the game ended.

"Daddy, will you play?" Jaden asked.

Yami mentally groaned. Aloud, he said, "You know, why don't you two go upstairs and play your game?"

"Why?" Terrance asked.

Yugi intervened. "Because Daddy and I need to talk alone." Yugi said.

"About what?" Terrance asked.

"About adult stuff. Now go." Yugi said.

The boys gathered the game together and headed upstairs.

Yugi shook his head. "My father is going to pay for this." Yugi said.

"I know." Yami said.

"So, how did things go with your mother?" Yugi asked.

"We're having a fancy wedding." Yami answered.

Yugi sighed. "That bad?" Yugi asked.

Yami nodded. "Our mothers are dead-set on planning a fancy wedding for us, and I think that we're just going to have to come to terms with that fact. They are not going to change their minds about this." Yami said.

"I suppose so." Yugi said. He glanced over and said, "But you only had yourself to blame. You were the one who said that they could have free reign over the wedding."

"I know. I didn't think that your mother would do something so underhanded." Yami said.

Yugi smiled. "Well, she did. I should have known that she would do something like this." Yugi said.

"So, do we stop them and tell them that we are going to plan the wedding ourselves, or do we let them do whatever they want and deal with the fact that we are just going to be having a really fancy wedding?" Yami asked.

"We already said that they could plan the wedding, and I can't see going back on our word now. We deal with it." Yugi said.

Yami nodded. "I agree." Yami said. He sighed. "Although I had been looking forward to a simple, small wedding." Yami said.

Yugi smiled. "We'll live through this somehow." Yugi said.

"I know." Yami said.

"In any case, where should we go on vacation? It's almost summer vacation for the kids, and I would like to take Jaden and Terrance somewhere for the summer." Yugi said.

"Hmm. I haven't really thought about it." Yami said.

"Are you up for a suggestion?" Yugi asked.

"What's that?" Yami asked.

"I was thinking England." Yugi said.

"England? Why?" Yami asked.

"I've always wanted to go to England, and I never took the time to go. It would be a new place to explore, and I'm sure that the boys would love going to England." Yugi said.

"You know, I think they would, too." Yami agreed.

"And you?" Yugi asked.

"It sounds like a good place to go to me, too. We can also ask Ryou about some places to visit. We both know that Ryou originally came from England, so I'm sure he can give us tips on places to go." Yami said.

"Then I should start looking around and making reservations." Yugi said.

"I agree." Yami said before he kissed.

Yugi kissed him back. "I'll go start looking." Yugi said before he hopped off Yami's lap and headed upstairs.

Yami smiled. 'My life is really great right now.' Yami thought.


~Two Weeks Later~

Yugi and Yami had been dragged out by their mothers to one place after another because they wanted their opinion on some things for the wedding.

"Now, I think that we should have these flowers." Amara said, motioning to the roses.

"Well," Yugi started.

"No, no, no. I was thinking that chrysanthemums would be perfect for this wedding." Sharon protested.

"You know, we-" Yami started.

"Hmm. The chrysanthemums are nice, but I think that the roses are the best for the wedding. Roses are traditionally known as the flower of love." Amara said.

"Yes, but the chrysanthemums are extremely beautiful. I think that they would be perfect for the wedding." Sharon said.

"Could we-?" Yami tried.

Amara and Sharon started discussing the flowers.

Yugi sighed as he rubbed his forehead. "I wish I knew why they dragged us along. All they do is discuss what they should do. It's not like they actually ask us what we think about anything." Yugi said.

"Well, Yugi, we were the ones who handed planning the wedding over to them, so we're just going to have to deal with it when we are stuck doing this." Yami said. He glanced at his watch. "The good thing is that we have the excuse of going to get Terrance and Jaden from school in an hour." Yami said.

"Thank goodness for that." Yugi said.

Sharon's eyes then lit up. "You know, why don't we just use both flowers? I think that roses and chrysanthemums would look excellent together." Sharon said.

"You know, that's an excellent idea." Amara agreed.

Yami glanced over at Yugi. "By the way, where is your sister?" Yami asked.

"Class. She has classes until three." Yugi said.

"Which means we'll be free by then." Yami said.

Yugi smiled. "I suppose so." Yugi agreed.

The two watches as their mothers talked more about this.


"Papa! Daddy!"

Jaden and Terrance ran over to where Yugi and Yami were.

"Hey, boys." Yami said.

"How was school?" Yugi asked.

"It was great! There was a magician that came in and gave a show for the whole school." Jaden said as he got into the car.

"Yeah. It was amazing!" Terrance added.

Yami got in the driver's seat, and Yugi slid into the passenger seat.

"It sounds like you two had a lot of fun at school." Yugi said.

"We did." Jaden said.

"Now if you would only get as excited about your homework as you do about things like this magic show." Yami said.

"Come on, Daddy. Schoolwork isn't fun." Jaden groaned.

"Jaden, your dad and I went to school as well, and we know that schoolwork isn't the most fun thing to do, but it's something that you have to do." Yugi said.

Jaden sighed. "Does it ever get fun?" Jaden asked.

"When you find a subject that interests you, then it will be fun." Yami said.

"Never then." Jaden muttered.

Yugi shook his head. 'He's only six, and he already hates school. He'll be tough to deal with as far as school comes once he gets into middle and high school. Maybe we'll have better luck with Terrance.' Yugi thought.

Yami drove into their driveway, and everyone got out.

Jaden and Terrance ran into the house.

"Homework first!" Yugi called into the house.

"Aw, man!" Jaden said.

Yami chuckled. "Jaden truly hates school, doesn't he?" Yami asked.

"Unfortunately." Yugi said. He smiled and said, "Than again, I wasn't that thrilled with school, either."

Yami looked at Yugi oddly. "You loved school back in high school." Yami said.

"Let me be more specific. At Jaden's age, I wasn't that thrilled with school." Yugi said.

"Better." Yami said as the two walked into the house.

Jaden was at the kitchen table doing his homework.

"Let us know if you need any help, Jaden." Yugi said.

"Okay, Papa." Jaden said.

Yugi and Yami walked into the living room and sat down on the couch.

Yugi glanced at the clock.

"Is there something coming on that you want to watch?" Yami asked.

"No. I was just thinking that it's about time for one of our mothers to call us about wedding plans again." Yugi said.

"Well, maybe they are going to handle the plans themselves without bothering us since they don't even ask our opinion on anything anyway." Yami said.

The phone rang.

"Want to make a bet on that?" Yugi asked as he picked up the receiver of the phone. "Hello?" Yugi said.

"Hello, sweetheart." Sharon said.

"Hey, Mom." Yugi said.

Yami shook his head. 'I'll be glad when this wedding comes just so that they'll leave us alone.' Yami thought.

"Well, Amara and I had some ideas on places that we thought would be just perfect for the wedding, and we wanted to run them by you."Sharon said.

Yugi rolled his eyes. "Actually, Mom, Yami and I had planned to spend a nice evening with Jaden and Terrance." Yugi said.

"You did?" Sharon asked.

"Yes. We haven't spent a night alone with them in a while, so we thought that we would make a family night of it." Yugi said.

"All right, dear. We'll run the ideas by you later." Sharon said.

"Okay, Mom. Bye." Yugi said before he hung up.

"She bought it?" Yami asked.

"She is because we are going to do just that." Yugi said.

Yami smiled. "That does sound nice." Yami said.

"I know." Yugi said.

"What did she want?" Yami asked as he wrapped an arm around Yugi.

Yugi snuggled up against Yami. "Well, they have ideas on where to have the wedding, and they wanted to run those ideas by us." Yugi answered.

"And then they would end up picking the place that they wanted to have the wedding at instead of the place that we wanted." Yami said.

"I know." Yugi said.

"We might as well stay out of all the plans. They're making all the decision." Yami said.

"You can plan the wedding if you would like." Yugi said.

Yami shook his head. "No thanks." Yami said.

Yugi smiled. "Anyway, that's what she wanted. Now, what are we going to do so that we can keep what I said to my mother true?" Yugi asked.

Yami thought for a moment before a smile crossed his lips. "Well, you know that the boys have been bugging us about going out to the movies, so why don't we take them to the movies?" Yami asked.

"An excellent idea." Yugi said.

"Papa, I need help." Jaden called.

"After Jaden gets done with his homework, that is." Yugi said. He then stood up and headed out the door to the kitchen.

Yami smiled. 'A night out with the family sounds perfect.' Yami thought.


After the movie, Yami and Yugi decided to take Jaden and Terrance out to Burger World for dinner.

"That was a great movie." Jaden said.

"Yeah. I could see it again." Terrance added.

Yami chuckled. "Son, the next time you see it will be when it comes out on DVD." Yami said.

Terrance groaned at that.

Yugi chuckled at that.

"Hey, guys."

The four looked up to see Bakura and Ryou there with Amanda and baby Richard.

"What are you doing here?" Yugi asked.

"Amanda wanted to eat here." Bakura answered.

"Hi, Jaden. Terrance." Amanda said with a smile.

"Hey, Mandy. How did you like that show at school?" Terrance asked.

"It was great! I'd love to see another show like that." Amanda said.

Mandy was a nickname that almost everyone called Amanda. Only Ryou called her Amanda.

"We loved it, too." Jaden said.

"Come on. Let's eat." Bakura said as he walked over to a booth.

Ryou shook his head. "Sorry about him." Ryou said.

"Don't worry about it, Ryou. We know how Bakura is, so we're used to it." Yugi said.

Ryou smiled at them before he and Amanda walked over to where Bakura had sat down.

Jaden and Terrance were happily talking.

Yami looked over at Yugi. 'That is something that Yugi and I need to talk about.' Yami thought.


That night, Yugi and Yami got ready to go to bed. Yami pretty much lived in Yugi's room, although he hadn't moved all his stuff yet.

"Yugi, there is something that you and I haven't discussed yet." Yami said.

"What wedding plans can we possibly discuss? Other then the month and the day, we have absolutely no say in this wedding." Yugi said.

"No. It's not the wedding that I'm talking about. I'm talking about something else entirely." Yami said seriously.

Yugi could tell that whatever it was that Yami wanted to talk about, it was very important to him. Yugi sat down on the bed before he said, "Okay. What is it?"

"Kids." Yami said.

Yugi blinked. "What about the boys?" Yugi asked.

Yami shook his head. "No, Yugi. I mean, do you want us to have any kids together? It's not exactly something that we've talked about." Yami said.

"Oh." Yugi said. He realized that neither had talked about that. "I suppose we haven't." Yugi agreed.

"I mean, I love Terrance and Jaden. You know that, but I got to thinking when I saw Richard tonight with Bakura and Ryou that we haven't discussed whether or not we're gong to have any kids." Yami said.

Yugi smiled slightly. "In all honesty, Yami, I assumed that we would have kids." Yugi said.

"You did?" Yami asked.

Yugi nodded. "I mean, I know you love Terrance and Jaden. I love them, too, but I always thought that we could expand our family." Yugi said.

Yami smiled. "Then we're on the same page. I've always seen myself as having three or four kids." Yami said.

Yugi laughed lightly. "Well, you're halfway there." Yugi said.

"So, we agree then?" Yami asked.

Yugi nodded. "I suppose so, although there is one other thing." Yugi said.

"What's that?" Yami asked curiously.

"Let's wait about a year before we try to have any. I'd like us to be married a while before we have anymore." Yugi said.

Yami leaned forward and kissed Yugi. "I agree with you on that, Yugi." Yami said with a smile.

Yugi smiled back. "Good." Yugi said.

"Now, I believe that there are more interesting things that we can be doing." Yami said.

Before Yugi had a chance to react, Yami had pounced.


~Two Weeks Later~

Once more, Amara and Sharon had ended up dragging Yugi and Yami out because of wedding plans.

This time, it was about tuxedos.

"But we have suits." Yami said.

"No, Yami. You need some better tuxedos to wear to your wedding." Amara said stubbornly.

Yami looked over at Yugi, who shrugged.

Amara and Sharon led Yugi to a tuxedo rental place.

"I cannot believe this." Yami muttered.

Yugi smiled. "Yami, just grin and bear it." Yugi said.

"This wedding isn't even what we want." Yami said.

"Well, the truth is that I think I can deal with a big wedding." Yugi said.

Yami glanced over at Yugi. "You can?" Yami asked.

Yugi nodded. "It won't be as bad as we think, Yami, and I really don't see Mom and Amara going too far with this." Yugi said.

Yami sighed. "I suppose so." Yami said. He looked over to were Sharon and Amara were looking over some tuxedos.

"I guess it won't be that bad, and I know that Mom and Sharon are loving this." Yami said.

"I know, so there's no reason to spoil their fun." Yugi said.

"And we don't get the excuse of having to get Terrance and Jaden now." Yami said.

School had ended, so Terrance and Jaden were done for the summer. Since Amara and Sharon were planning to drag Yugi and Yami shipping for tuxedos, Aknankanon and Lucas had agreed to take the boys out for the day.

"I can't believe Dad and Lucas weaseled their way out of this." Yami said.

"They're not the ones getting married." Yugi said.

"Sorry I'm late." Mana said as she joined them.

"Mana, what do you think of this one?" Amara asked, motioning to a tuxedo.

"No." Yami said firmly.

"Why?" Amara asked.

"Mom, there is no way that I am going to wear a tux that had a bowtie. Forget it." Yami said.

Sharon sighed. "Well, we'll have to go with ties then." Sharon said.

"Now here's one I like." Amara said.

Yami couldn't really complain about this one.

"Nice save." Yugi said. He wasn't too keen on the bowtie idea, either.

"Come on. Let's get you two into the dressing room and see what needs to be done." Amara said before forcing Yugi and Yami into the dressing rooms.

Yugi and Yami tried on the tuxedos.

"Perfect!" Amara said.

"After they are fitted to them, they'll look excellent." Sharon added.

Yami rubbed his head. 'I am getting a headache from all this.' Yami thought.

Once Yugi and Yami were out of the tuxes, Sharon and Amara said that it was time to go to the bakery about the cake.

Yugi glanced over at his fiancé and saw how stressed he was. "Yami, why don't you take a breather? I'll handle this for a while." Yugi said.

Yami glanced over at Yugi. "Are you sure?" Yami asked.

Yugi nodded. "Go on." Yugi said.

Yami smiled gratefully before he kissed Yugi. "I owe you for this." Yami said.

"I know." Yugi said.

Yami then left.

"Where is he going?" Mana asked.

"Oh, he needs to do something. I'll go to the bakery." Yugi said.

"Let's go then." Sharon said. She grabbed Yugi before she dragged him off.


Yami was thankful that he had gotten out of there. He was about to be driven nuts by all of the wedding details that were being thrown at him.

Yami went to a nearby park, and he started walking around. He smiled as he saw all of the trees in bloom. 'It is a really nice day out.' Yami thought. He strolled at a leisurely pace around the park.

There was a family out having a picnic that Yami saw.

Yami smiled at that. 'That'll be one day.' Yami thought. He thought on it a little more. 'I do already have that. Yugi and I are going to be married, and we have Jaden and Terrance, which means we have a family. It'll just be a bigger one some day.' Yami thought.

Yami was so lost in his daydream that he never heard someone coming up behind him.

"Yami?" a female voice said.

Yami turned and saw the last person that he had expected to see there. "Tea?" Yami said.


Hope you liked it. I think everyone knew that Tea was going to be coming back, so here she is!

Next: Tea wants Yami back, of course.

R&R.
