DeathsIllusion-You must be the only person to ask that. Since you did. Congrats, as a matter-o-fact, Marik did survive the fall but is paralyzed from now on. And no, he wont be causing trouble anytime soon (emphasis on soon)

journey maker-Sounds like someone got really excited. I don't get how people can do that. I'm the sort of person who just watches things silently no matter how startled they are. It kind of sounds weired, but I'm envious of people who can get all ralied up like that.

dragonlady222-I always wondered why I kept seeing seme and uke in stories...

Chapter 11

The teacher looked around the room "Would anyone like to bring Mr. Bakura and Mr. Malik there homework today?"

Yugi's hand went up after a minute of no one wanting too.

"Aren't you going to get separate people to bring them there homework?" Joey asked "I thought they lived in opposite directions"

"Thank you for pointing that out" The teacher smiled at Joey "Yugi, due to some reported-on-the-news events neither of the boys are in there previous homes. Please stay after class a minute so I can give you directions to their current residence"

SC

"No way" Malik hesitantly put a hand on his stomach. Sure, he'd been gaining a little weight recently but he wasn't pregnant "No way"

"Malik, it's true. Yami confirmed it"

Malik shook his head "Well Yami can check again because I want to hear it from him before I'll believe it"

"That's why you're always sick to your stomach" Ryou explained "And why you're so easy to make cry lately.

"N-no, the crying just because… Marik scared me and…" Malik looked away. The doorbell rang "I'll get it" he leapt up, eager to get away from Ryou.

Yugi was at the door "Hi Malik" he chirped "I came to give you your homework" A groan escaped the Egyptian "I heard the good news from Yami" he added "How's the baby? Do you know what gender they are yet? Are the twins identical or fraternal?"

Malik looked at Yugi in shock and took a couple steps back "I'm not pregnant" he hissed "You and Ryou are just pulling some obnoxious prank on me. It's not funny, though so you can stop it now"

Yugi looked at Ryou, who'd come to the door by now. Ryou sighed "Malik… really… stop acting like that. Bakura was in denial for a while when he was having Rain and when we talked about the whole pregnancy ordeal after she was born he admitted that it really just made it harder on himself right then"

"Yeah well… he was in denial about being pregnant. I'm just not pregnant" Malik folded his arms.

"Well, you're already about as far out as Bakura" Yugi pointed out. There was a notable bulge under Malik's shirt "Maybe a little further…"

Malik turned bright red "I-I'm…" he took a couple steps back. Was it that noticeable "Going to…" he stopped for a second, staring at Yugi and Ryou, then turned and ran to the other side of the apartment.

Yugi laughed "That isn't funny. I'm the one who has to keep him healthy and make him admit that he's having a baby" Ryou pointed out "And either way it's just rude. Malik's uncomfortable right now. Don't laugh at him"

Yugi nodded "Sorry" he picked up the homework he'd dropped "Here. I volunteered to bring this, but your new apartment's so hard to find. Why did you move?"

"Oh well…" Ryou brushed a few bangs out of his eyes "You remember when Malik was depressed?" Yugi nodded "Marik was abusing him. So… we let him stay with us until his sister comes back, but Marik tried to take him back. He's the only one who got hurt but the police wanted us moved to a new location for safety measures" he dropped his voice to a whisper "I'm worried though. I'm sure there's something wrong with Bakura's kid, and Malik's been having panic attacks a lot recently"

"Oh…" Yugi scowled "I can… I don't know what to say about Malik, but I can ask Yami to check up on Bakura's baby"

"Would you?" Ryou smiled "He helps with Malik whenever, but he turns me down a lot when I ask about Bakura. I guess he figures since this time Bakura isn't having my kid he shouldn't bother. Still, I'm really worried about the baby"

Yugi nodded "Rain wasn't hurt in the attack was she?"

"No. She was the only one unharmed"

"That's good. I'd hate to see something bad happen to your daughter. By" Yugi ran off.

Ryou waved before closing the door. Someone was going to check up on Bakura's kid. That was a relief.

SC

Yami sighed as Yugi rang the doorbell. He really hated checking up on Bakura but if the yami had gotten into a fight it might be a good idea. It wasn't the babies fault that it's parents were both psychos. It was just lucky that it would never see the crazier of the two (if it survived being in the womb).

Ryou opened the door "Come in"

Yugi and Yami came in "Hey, Ryou" Yami heard Yugi say, he was to busy trying to find Bakura to pay anymore attention to them after that.

The more insane of the white haired boys didn't notice when Yami came into the same room as him, all his attention was focused on Rain as the little baby crawled over to her daddy. It was rather disturbing to Yami, having never seen Bakura's soft side before, to see him smiling and cooing and gently holding the baby once she had crawled up to him.

He didn't want to make his presence known. He wanted to see what else Bakura would do when he wasn't acting like an evil maniac, but he had promised to look at the baby as soon as possible "Ahem" Bakura blinked and looked over at him, his eyes narrowed instantly but he still held Rain gently "I'm here to see how the Marik's kid is doing"

"It isn't Marik's" Bakura muttered quietly. The way he looked down at the floor… It had never occurred to Yami that Bakura might feel guilty about sleeping with the most deranged person they'd ever met.

"Whatever. Take your shirt of" Bakura was hesitant to set Rain down, but did so and took of is top "You're certainly growing at a good rate" Yami commented, drawing a blush out of Bakura "Feeling a little more comfortable with your width this time?"

"Just take a look at the kid" Bakura hissed. He was mortified, sure, he'd been eating a little more than recommended but he couldn't be that wide. And how would he know? Ryou hid all the mirrors, even the ones in the bathroom, a few days ago when he'd thrown a fit. That and he was afraid of stepping on a scale so…

"It seems healthy" Yami said casually, his hand on the others stomach "No damage done to it. I'll admit, you did a good job protecting it considering how turned over the house looked in the picture on the news" He scowled "There's something wrong with it though. It's not dieing, and I don't think it's from the fight. Probably just some bad genes from you or Marik. There's nothing that could have prevented it" he patted Bakura's swollen belly "But don't worry. It's more of a… weak immunity system. You'll have your work cut out for you keeping the baby from getting sick when he's born, but that's really it"

Bakura didn't look to convinced "What… what exactly is wrong with-"

"Him" Yami cut in "It's a little boy. He doesn't have any serious mental or physical problems. Honest. Just looks like his body isn't prepared to fight of disease. It's nothing a trip or two to the hospital once he's born wont fix"

Bakura scowled, but nodded "Right…" he picked Rain back up "I'm…"

"I need to check up on Malik too. I mean, I might as well since I'm here" Yami shrugged "I feel kind of bad for him. You had a drunken affair, but he was raped. And he's having two little kids too"

Bakura came out of the room slowly as Yami hurried off to check up on Malik. Ryou and Yugi grinned at him as he came into the main room of the new apartment. He scowled and took Rain to his and Ryou's room where he shut the door and broke into tears on the bed.

It was a few minutes before Ryou realized his yami wasn't just in a bad mood and went to comfort him. Neither saw Yugi follow.

"Bakura…?" Bakura didn't respond to Ryou's voice or Rain tugging his hair "Bakura, what's wrong? Yami had bad news didn't he? The baby can't be that damaged, you're to careful with it to let it get hurt"

Bakura looked up at Ryou "He said that… that the baby has a problem that… came from the DNA from me and Marik… and that it…"

"Calm down" Ryou patted Bakura's back as the yami cried onto his shoulder "take a deep breath" Bakura did as he was told, but the breath was shaky "What's wrong with the baby?"

"He…. He said that there's something wrong with… the immunity system or… something… like that… I don't really understand half of the medical terms he uses but…"

"Its okay" Ryou smiled reassuringly "It means the baby gets sick easier. We'll take it to a doctor and see what they can do about it once it's born. Alright? Don't stress about it. It's no big deal"

Bakura nodded softly "Don't… I mean… the baby… Yami says that it's a boy. I'm not even half way through, so I don't know how sure of that he is…"

"Congratulations" Yugi said, startling the border-line albinos "On having a son" he explained quickly so they wouldn't think he was glad for the babies problem "I'm… going to see what's up with Malik…" after a short awkward silence he ran off.

Once he was gone Ryou put on hand on Bakura's shoulder and another on his stomach "Don't worry about it" he whispered softly. It was to light for Ryou to feel, but Bakura felt the baby brush up against his side right then, trying to reach the hand rubbing against the walls of its little home.
