"I hope Yugi is at home today" Atem said to himself as he put his phone up to his ear, after a while of the phone ringing someone finally answered "Hello Game shop, Yugi speaking"
"Hey Yugi, its Atem, I was wondering if Loretta and I could come around, we have some news that we would like to share with you & Grandpa" Atem said "Hey Atem, yea sure that's fine, we're not busy" Yugi said cheerfully
"Ok see you soon" Atem said as he hung up and then looked at Loretta "I dont know how Yugi and Grandpa are going to take some of this" he sighed "its ok Atem, i will be with you the whole time" Loretta smiled kissing her husbands cheek
Getting to the game shop and walking through the front door, the little bell went off above their heads "Yugi, we're here" Atem called "Come into the lounge Atem, Grandpa & I are in here" Yugi replyed
Walking into the lounge, Solomon turned to Atem "Good afternoon Atem and Loretta, I heard you have some news for us please sit down" Solomon said gesturing to the couch. Taking a seat on the couch next to Loretta, Atem cleared his throat "Um Loretta, do you want to start" Atem asked
"No Atem, Yugi and his Grandpa looked after you so I think you should tell them our news, you tell one half, I will tell the other half, Deal?" Loretta said raising an eyebrow at her husband "Ok Loretta, that's fair"
"Um Grandpa, Yugi, Loretta and I are going to be parents, Loretta is five months pregnant" Atem said with a small blushed "Congratulations my boy, Im proud of you Atem" Solomon said patting his back "That is awesome news Atem, any idea of what the baby is" Yugi asked jumping up to hug Atem
"I dont know yet, we were just on our way to the hospital for Loretta to have her scan" Atem smiled "Now I have some not so good news, Atem and I are moving back to Egypt, my Father has offered Atem a job working with him, since he used to be a Pharaoh, my Father is interested in what Atem knows that could help his studies" Loretta sighed
"A-Atem, is this true" Yugi stuttered as tears came to his eyes "Im afriad so Yugi, Im sorry I didnt tell you sooner" Atem said looking away from Yugi "So when are you two going back" Solomon asked looking at Loretta "Atem and I have agreed that a month after the baby is born we will go" Loretta said looking at Atem
"Im going to miss you Atem" Yugi suddenly said as he dashed over to Atem wrapping his arms around his neck "Yugi" Atem chuckled "we're not going for another five months yet" "I know but its not going to be the same without you around" Yugi said stepping back from Atem "I promise Loretta and I will come back every christmas to visit" Atem smiled
"Hey Atem, we need to get going, Im going to be late for my scan appointment" Loretta said nudging Atem with her elbow "Sorry Loretta, your right, we need to get going" Atem said as he got up "Just so you two know, if there is anything that you need I am here to help you in anyway I can" Solomon said nodding at Atem "Thank you Solomon" Atem nodded back as he took Loretta's hand and left the game shop
As they made their way to the hospital, Atem's phone suddenly rung "Hello Atem speaking" he answered politely "Hey Pharaoh, its joey, what are ya up to" Joey asked "oh, hi Joey, Loretta and I are on our way to the hospital, what are you doing" Atem asked "I was wondering if you and 'retta wanted to come around, max and I have a big surprise, the whole gangs gonna to be here" Joey said sounding excited
"Thank you for the invite Joey, we will be there in half an hour" Atem said to Joey nodding at Loretta "Sweet, catch ya later man" Joey said before hanging up "Where are we going in half an hour Atem" Loretta asked raising an eyebrow
"Joey has invited us to their house because he has a special announcement to make" Atem explained "Wow, thats so cool, I wonder what it is" Loretta asked looking surprised "he didnt say" Atem said shaking his head as they walked through the main entrance of the hospital
After waiting for a few minutes, Loretta was finally called and led into a small room by a nurse, getting up onto the bed and laying down, Loretta lifted her top "What do you think we will have" Loretta asked turning her head to look at her husband "It doesn't matter to me Loretta, whatever we have I will love them" Atem smiled picking up Loretta's hand and kissing it
Meeting the young couple the sonographer got to work taking the babies measurement and then stopped, looking from the screen to Loretta and then back again, noticing her worry Atem raised an eyebrow "Is something wrong" Atem asked fearing the worst.
"N-no nothing seems to be the problem but Im not able to take the babies measurements because there is two" the lady said smiling at Atem "What? A-are you sure" Atem asked wide eyed "positive and if they stop moving around I can find out their genders, if you would like" the lady said moving the scanner around to get a better view on the monitor
"What do you think Loretta, do you want to find out what our twins are" Atem asked looking down at his wife "if we were only having one I would have liked a surprise, but I guess our surprise is two, I would like to know the genders then we can prepare better for when they are born" Loretta smiled back at Atem
"Ok let me see if I can get the right angle...Oh there we go, the one at the front is a Boy and behind him...Is a girl" the lady smiled at Loretta "Hear that Atem, we are having a son and a daughter" Loretta said as Atem leaned down to kiss her softly "I know, I cant wait to see them" Atem beamed
Thanking the sonographer and leaving the hospital after Loretta's appointment it was now time to head to Joeys place for their big announcement, knocking on the door of Max and Joeys house Atem chuckled "seems like both of us have big news"
Answering the door Joey grinned "Hey guys come in" Joey said opening the door for them "the rest of the gang are in the living room", following Joey down the hall Atem and Loretta found the rest of the gang sitting around talking, dashing over to Loretta, Tea hugged her "Wow Loretta, I havent seen you in a long time, how are you" "Well um Atem and I have abit of special news for all of you too, but I'll let Joey go first" Loretta giggled
"Thank you Loretta" Joey nodded at her "Hey Max, you wanna help me out here" Joey pouted at his fiance "You big baby" Max sighed shaking her head "What?" Joey asked as everyone laughed "Ok now that Max is here, we have something to tell all of you, Joey asked me to marry him two months ago but I just found out yesterday that I'm three months pregnant" Max explained as the gang clapped
Narrowing his eyes at Atem, Joey smirked "I see someone has been a naughty Pharaoh" Joey said spotting Loretta's bump "Speak for yourself Joey" Atem smirked back watching Joey turn red "Boys" Loretta growled shaking her head "So I see you have something to tell us Loretta" Max asked raising an eyebrow
"Yea I do, some great and some not so great, Yugi already knows, but as Joey pointed out, yes I am pregnant as well, Atem just came with me to have my scan and it showed we are having twins" Loretta said "So whats da bad news then" Joey asked
"Loretta & I are moving back to Egypt once our twins are born, her Father has offered me a job with his archaeological team deciphering hieroglyphics and restoring ancient jewellary like what I used to wear when I was Pharaoh" Atem finished looking at his friends with gapping mouths "Are we ever gonna see you two again"Joey asked looking stunned as Max comforted him
"We will come back every year for christmas so Rachelle can see her Niece and Nephew and so I can see my Family" Atem said looking at Yugi who was trying to stop himself from crying, "Yugi, are you ok" Loretta asked sitting down beside him "Yeah, I will be" Yugi sniffed trying to smiled
"Im sorry if Ive upset you Yugi, it was never my intention" Atem sighed as he walked over to him putting his hand on Yugi's shoulder "I know Atem, but it seems like I've only just gotten you back and now you are leaving me and us again, I'm sorry for being such a cry baby" Yugi sighed
"Your not a baby Yugi, its natural for you to get upset when you miss someone" Loretta said pulling Yugi into a hug "I know you and Atem shared a bond for a long time but this is a really great opportunity for Atem and he's not going to get it anywhere else" Loretta explain softly as she felt Yugi's tears on her shoulder
"I-I know you are right Loretta but it seems like I'm only just getting to know you and now you and Atem are having twins and Im not going to be able to see them for a whole year..." Yugi started to rambled as Atem was calling his name "Yugi...Yugi...Yugi! Listen to me" Atem shouted raising is already deep voice making Yugi gasped
"Im sorry for yelling but you were getting yourself worked up, but you need to listen to me, its not like we are going somewhere that phones dont exist, Loretta and I will always keep in touch with you and as I said we will come back to Domino every year for christmas or if anyone decides they are getting married" Atem smirked nudging Yugi
"yeah I suppose you are right, I was just being silly and irrational its just everytime I think about you going to Egypt it reminds me of the time you left us and went back to the afterlife" Yugi sighed dropping his head and covering his eyes with his bangs.
"Yugi, i will never be going back there, I have a family here, in this life, I will be however over 12 hours away by plane but at least you can come and see me" Atem smiled trying to cheer Yugi up
After standing around talking for a while longer Atem, Loretta, Tea & Tristan all decided that it was time to go home, getting home
