Chapter 12- News and Confrontation

~Two Weeks Later~

Yugi was busy looking over a file in his office for work. He had a patient he would need to see soon.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Yugi said.

The door opened and one of the nurses looked in. "Dr. Mutou, your ten-thirty appointment is here." the nurse said.

Yugi glanced at his watch, "Mrs. Smith is early." Yugi said.

"I know, but you usually want to go ahead and see patients if you're not busy." the nurse said.

"Thank you. I'll be there in a moment." Yugi said.

The nurse nodded and left.

Yugi sighed as he stood up. 'I wish my stomach would settle down. I've felt a little sick all morning.' Yugi thought, hoping that he wouldn't get sick.

Yugi then headed out to see his patient.


Yami was in his office doing work.

The phone rang.

Yami picked up the phone and said, "Hello? Yami Sennen."

"Hello, dear. How are you?" Amara asked.

Yami mentally sighed. He dreaded talking to his mother now because it would inevitably lead to talk of the wedding plans that he had absolutely no part of. "Hey, Mom. What's going on?" Yami asked.

"Well, I was wondering if you had talked to Yugi at all today." Amara said.

"No. Yugi had a pretty full schedule today. I doubt that I'll talk to him until after I get home today." Yami replied.

"Well, Sharon and I were wanting to talk to you about more of the wedding plans." Amara said.

'Why?' Yami asked himself. He gave a low sigh before he said, "I'm not sure when we'll be able to do that, Mom. I'll have to talk to Yugi about this and get back to you." Yami said.

"That's fine. Just make sure that you talk to him about it." Amara said.

"Okay, Mom. I will. Bye." Yami said.

"Bye." Amara said before she hung up.

Yami then got back to work.

There was a knock on his door.

"Come in." Yami said.

The door opened, and Atemu walked in.

"Hey, Atemu. What's going on?" Yami asked.

"Yami, did you know that Tea Gardner is back in town?" Atemu asked, getting right to the point.

"Yes." Yami said.

"You've seen her?" Atemu asked, shocked.

"Yes. I saw her in the park two weeks ago." Yami said.

Atemu was shocked.

Yami looked up at his brother. "Before you have a fit, she told me she wanted me back, I told her no, and I left. I told Yugi I saw her, and I made sure he knew that I had chosen him, not Tea." Yami said.

"Oh." Atemu said.

Yami smiled. "Atemu, I have gotten over Tea. I don't have any feelings for her now. I'm with Yugi, and I am going to get married to Yugi. You don't have to worry." Yami said.

Atemu sat down. "I was planning to warn you that she was back in town, but I see that that point is moot now." Atemu said.

"Yeah. It is. I'm not going to let anything come between me and Yugi." Yami said.

"Glad to hear that." Atemu said.


Yugi still felt sick to his stomach. He had taken to eating some saltine crackers to settle his stomach.

A nurse opened the door. "Dr. Mutou, we're going to lunch. Do you want anything?" a nurse asked.

"No, thank you." Yugi said.

"Are you all right?" the nurse asked.

"I haven't felt well, actually." Yugi said.

"Why not just give yourself a blood test? You'll find out fast what is going on so you'll know what to do." the nurse said.

"Thanks. I might take your advice." Yugi said.

The nurse nodded and left.

Yugi thought about that for a moment. 'That's a great idea.' Yugi thought. He stood up and headed to the lab in the office to do just that.


Yami had gotten off work early, so he was able to let Mana leave from babysitting early.

"Daddy!" Jaden and Terrance shouted as they greeted him

"Hey, boys." Yami said.

Mana walked out. "How was work?" Mana asked.

"It was fine, Mana. Thanks for asking." Yami said. He glanced down at the two boys and said, "How were they today?"

"They were fine, Yami. Good as always." Mana said.

"Well, thanks for watching them for us." Yami said.

"No problem. See you boys later." Mana said as she kissed the top of Terrance's head and then Jaden's head before she left.

"Daddy, can Syrus come over now?" Jaden asked.

Yami remembered that Yugi had said the day before that Syrus could come over once he got home from work. "Sure. I'll call Syrus's mother and see if it's all right with her." Yami said. He then called Mrs. Truesdale and found out that it was fine.

Yami turned to his son. "Syrus will be here soon." Yami said.

"Yay!" both boys said.

Yami smiled. He was glad that Terrance got along as well with Syrus as Jaden did.

It wasn't long before Mrs. Truesdale came over with Syrus.

"I hope this isn't much trouble for you." Mrs. Truesdale said.

"Of course not. It's fine." Yami assured her.

"All right. I'll pick Syrus up in a few hours." Mrs. Truesdale said before she left.

Syrus, Jaden, and Terrance all headed upstairs to play.

Yami walked into the living room and sat down. He then opened his briefcase to do some work that he had brought home with him.


Yugi was doing some paperwork when there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" Yugi called.

A lab tech came in. "Here are the results you wanted." the tab tech said.

"Thank you." Yugi said.

The lab tech then left.

Yugi looked at them and saw that they were the results for his blood work. 'Well, now to find out what is going on with me.' Yugi thought. He opened the results and read them.

Yugi's eyes then widened in shock, and he read through the results ten more times just to make sure that he had read them right.

'Well, that explains a lot.' Yugi thought.


That evening, Yami was sitting at the table reading the paper. He always read the paper in the evening instead of in the morning.

Yugi walked into the kitchen and saw that Yami was at the table. "Yami, can I talk to you for a moment?" Yugi asked.

Yami glanced up before putting the paper down. "Sure, Yugi. What's on your mind?" Yami asked.

Yugi walked over and sat down in Yami's lap before he put an arm around Yami's neck. "What would you say about moving the date of the wedding up?" Yugi asked.

Yami raised an eyebrow. "How soon?" Yami asked.

"I was thinking in August." Yugi said.

"Why?" Yami asked.

"Well, because we have a little bundle of joy coming, and I would like to get married before I look like a cow." Yugi said.

Yami's eyes widened as he understood Yugi's statement. "You mean you're-" Yami started.

Yugi nodded.

"When did you find out?" Yami asked.

"Today. I wasn't feeling well, so I took one of the nurse's advice and gave myself a blood test. That's when I found out." Yugi said.

Yami smiled. "Any idea how far along you are?" Yami asked.

"Not yet. I've got an appointment set up for tomorrow." Yugi said.

"This is great." Yami said before he kissed Yugi rather passionately.

"I'm glad. I was worried that you might not be this excited." Yugi said.

"Why wouldn't I be excited about this? It isn't every day that a person is told that they are going to be a father again." Yami said.

"Well, I know that we had talked about waiting until we were married at least a year before we had any kids." Yugi said.

Yami leaned forward and kissed Yugi. "No worries. It might be sooner than we had planned, but I am still happy about this." Yami said.

"Good. I was worried." Yugi said.

"No need to be. We are going to have a happy family." Yami said.

"Good." Yugi said. He then said, "Who tells our mothers?"

Yami's eyes widened. "No way! I am not telling them!" Yami said.

"Someone has to." Yugi said.

"You tell them. They won't kill you because you are pregnant with their grandchild." Yami said.

"How about we tell them together?" Yugi asked.

"I'll be the one who is hiding behind you in fear." Yami said.

Yugi smiled. "It won't be as bad as you think. They'll probably be more excited about the pregnancy than the wedding now." Yugi said.

Yami sighed. "And your father is the one who is going to be holding the shotgun to my back at the wedding." Yami said.

Yugi laughed. "Who would have thought that we would end up with a shotgun wedding?" Yugi asked.

"I don't know." Yami said. He then leaned forward and kissed Yugi. "I'm not too unhappy about this. It's a great thing in my opinion." Yami said, placing his hand in Yugi's stomach.

"Glad you think so." Yugi said.


~The Following Morning~

Yugi had gotten up before anyone else had that morning. He felt sick to his stomach once again. 'At least I know that that this is morning sickness.' Yugi thought, glad that he knew why he was feeling sock now.

Yugi got out of bed and headed into the bathroom to take a shower. Once done, he headed downstairs to start breakfast.

While cooking, arms wrapped around Yugi's waist and lips kissed his neck.

Yugi smiled. "Morning, Yami." Yugi said.

Yami chuckled. "Morning." Yami said.

"I hope that pancakes are okay with you." Yugi said.

"Sure. It's fine." Yami said.

Yugi smiled. "Yami, I need you to let me go so that I can finish." Yugi said.

Yami sighed, but did as Yugi said and let go.

"Why don't you go get the kids up?" Yugi asked.

"Sure thing." Yami said. He then headed upstairs.

'Well, Yami's in a good mood. I'm glad of that.' Yugi thought.

Soon, Yami had Jaden and Terrance downstairs.

"Morning, Papa." both boys said.

"Morning." Yugi said as he placed the pancakes in a pile on a plate before he walked over and set them down on the table. "I hope that you're hungry." Yugi said.

"Pancakes!" both boys said happily as they grabbed some and put them on their plates.

"I think that they like it, too." Yami said as he got three glasses down.

"I can see that." Yugi said as he got the orange juice out of the refrigerator.

Once all four glasses were filled, Yugi put the orange juice back up.

Yami placed a glass in front of each of the boys before he put one out for him and Yugi as well.

The two then sat down to eat.

"Is Mana going to keep us again today?" Jaden asked.

"No, Jaden. Grandpa is going to keep you today." Yugi said.

"He is?" Terrance asked.

"Yes. He had today off, so he offered to watch you. You'll be spending the day with him." Yugi replied.

"It's always fun when Grandpa keeps us." Jaden said.

"I'm glad that you think so." Yugi said.

Once the family was finished with breakfast, Yami had the boys go upstairs to get ready to leave while Yugi stayed in the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Once done, Yugi headed back up to his room to get ready to leave.

Yami came into the room. "What time is your appointment?" Yami asked.

"It's at ten." Yugi said.

"I can talk to Seto and see if I can get off. I'll meet you there." Yami said.

Yug turned to him. "Don't do that!" Yugi said.

"Why not?" Yami asked, taken aback by Yugi's reaction.

Yugi sighed. "Yami, I don't want anyone else knowing about this until I see the doctor." Yugi said.

"Why?" Yami asked.

"I just want to make sure everything is fine first. Besides, there are going to be the inevitable questions of when are you due, how far along are you, and such. I'd like to know the answers to those questions." Yugi explained.

"Okay. I get that." Yami said.

Yugi smiled. "Please just don't tell anyone." Yugi said.

"Okay. Do you promise to call me as soon as you get done at the doctor's office?" Yami asked as he walked over to wrap his arms around Yugi.

"Of course I will, Yami. You'll be the first call that I make. I promise." Yugi said.

"Good." Yami said. He then leaned down and kissed Yugi.

"We're ready!" Jaden called.

"I better get them to Dad." Yugi said.

"Yeah. I'd better get to work. I'll see you later." Yami said.

"Okay." Yugi said.

Yami then grabbed his briefcase and left.

Yugi headed out of his room. "Come on, boys." Yugi said.

Jaden and Terrance followed Yugi out to his car and got in.

Yugi drove to his parent's house.

Lucas walked out of the house when they got there.

"Grandpa!" Jaden and Terrance shouted as they ran over to Lucas.

"Hey, boys. It's good to see you." Lucas said.

"Thanks for watching them today, Dad." Yugi said.

"Not a problem. I had the day off anyway." Lucas said.

"Okay. One of us will get them around five-thirty or six unless we get off earlier." Yugi said.

"Sure thing." Lucas said.

Yugi then got into his car and drove off.


Yugi had arrived at his doctor's appointment. He had gotten his paperwork, filled it out before he handed it back in, and sat back down to wait for his name to be called.

"Yugi Mutou." a nurse called.

Yugi got up and headed over to the nurse.

"Follow me." the nurse said.

Yugi followed the nurse into the back. The nurse took Yugi's height and weight before she led him into a room.

"The doctor will be with you in a moment." the nurse said before she left.

Yugi sat down to wait for the doctor to come in.

It was about ten minutes before Yugi's doctor, Dr. Harlan came into the room. "Hello, Yugi. It's been a while since I've seen you." Dr. Harlan said.

Yugi smiled. "I know." Yugi said.

"So, since it's another three months before the time for your annual physical, to what due I owe the honor of your visit?" Dr. Harlan asked.

Yugi had been a patient of Dr. Harlan's for several years, and he knew that Yugi only came in when he was very sick or for his annual physical.

"Well, I'm pregnant." Yugi said.

"Are you certain?" Dr. Harlan asked.

"Yes. I gave myself a blood test at my office, and it came back that I was pregnant. I know that you'll have to do your own blood test, so go ahead." Yugi said.

Dr. Harlan chuckled. "On top of things as usual." Dr. Harlan said.

"I know." Yugi said.

Dr. Harlan drew the blood. "The analysis will take about half an hour. Care to wait around that long?" Dr. Harlan asked.

"It's fine." Yugi said.

Dr. Harlan nodded and left.

Yugi waited for the half hour before Dr. Harlan returned.

"Well, you were right, which I'm not surprised about." Dr. Harlan said.

"I figured as much." Yugi said."Well, I might as well do a full examination to find out everything else." Dr. Harlan said.

In addition to being a doctor for general healthcare, he also was a doctor who specialized in caring for male patients who ended up pregnant.

Yugi changed into a gown and got on the table.

Dr. Harlan then did an ultrasound. "Well, it appears that your baby is healthy as can be." Dr. Harlan said.

"Good." Yugi said, smiling. He was looking at the screen, so he could see the baby. He was happy about this. He was also happy to hear that the baby was healthy.

"Well, I would judge that you are about seven weeks along." Dr. Harlan said.

"Okay." Yugi said.

"I would also judge your due date to be around January 13." Dr. Harlan said.

"Okay. Thanks." Yugi said.

"I'll need you to start taking the prenatal vitamins that I am going to prescribe. I'd also like you to watch what you eat." Dr. Harlan said.

"I know." Yugi said.

"And you'll also need to start coming in for a check-up once a month for now. It'll be more as you get further along." Dr. Harlan said.

"I understand." Yugi said.

"You can get dressed and leave now." Dr. Harlan said.

"Thanks." Yugi said.

Dr. Harlan left.

Yugi then got back into his clothes and headed out the door. He went up to the nurse at the front.

The nurse took the folder and processed him out. "I see that you'll need an appointment for next month." the nurse said.

"Yes. I will." Yugi said.

The nurse then checked the openings. "We can get you in on July 12th at eleven-thirty." the nurse said.

"That will work." Yugi said. He knew that that was the week before they were supposed to go on vacation.

"All right. " the nurse said as she set up the appointment. She handed Yugi a card with a reminder of the appointment. "Thank you." the nurse said.

"Thank you." Yugi said before he left. Once at his car, he got out his cell phone and called Yami at work like he promised.

"What did the doctor say?" Yami asked the instant he answered the phone.

Yugi laughed. "Hello to you, too." Yugi said.

"Sorry, Yugi." Yami said, sounding sheepish. "I'm a little excited about this, and I wanted to know." Yami told him.

"I understand, Yami. Everything is fine. Dr. Harlan said that the baby I fine, and I'm about seven weeks along. He said that my due date is January 13th, so that'll be the time period for the baby to be born." Yugi said.

"Perfect." Yami said.

Yugi smiled. "Well, I need to get to the office. I'll talk to you more later." Yugi said.

"Okay. Don't work too hard." Yami said.

"I won't, Yami. I'll see you later." Yugi said.

"All right, Yugi. Bye." Yami said.

"Bye." Yugi said before he hung up. He then turned on his car and headed for his office.


Yami arrived home to find that Yugi was alone in the house. "You didn't forget the kids, right?" Yami asked.

Yugi glanced at his fiancé. "Yami, do you honestly think that I would be so distracted by something that I would forget about our sons?" Yugi asked.

"Just making sure." Yami said as he sat down by Yugi.

"I went to get them, but they begged me to let them spend the night with Grandma and Grandpa. I figured that it couldn't hurt since Mom and Dad wanted them to stay anyway." Yugi said.

"They spend a lot of time at their grandparents' house." Yami said.

"Both sets." Yugi added.

"No harm in it. It is the summertime, so they can stay with their grandparents every so often." Yami stated.

"I know." Yugi said.

"So, the little one is doing fine." Yami said, rubbing his stomach.

"Yes. Both of us are doing fine, actually." Yugi said.

"I'm glad to hear that." Yami said as he nuzzled Yugi's neck.

Yugi laughed. "I know, Yami. I'll have a doctor's appointment right before we go on vacation." Yugi said.

Yami pulled away to look at Yugi. "Can you still travel, though?" Yami asked.

"Yami, take it easy. I can travel up until I am six months pregnant. After that, I won't be able to travel much." Yugi said.

"Good thing that our family is here." Yami said.

"I know." Yugi said.

The two were silent for a moment.

"So, we have the house to ourselves for the night." Yami said.

"Yes." Yugi smiled. "Then how about-" Yami started.

Yugi turned to look at Yami. "How about you hold that thought for a few hours? We do need to eat before we do anything." Yugi pointed out.

"Right." Yami agreed.

Yugi smiled. "Don't worry, Yami. We'll have the whole night together." Yugi said.

Yami leaned over and kissed Yugi. "It's a good thing that we have the house to ourselves." Yami said.

"I know." Yugi said.

"So, what do we want for dinner?" Yami asked.

"I was thinking that we could go out to dinner to eat. We haven't had Chinese in a while since Jaden and Terrance don't like it, so I thought that we could treat ourselves." Yugi said.

"Sounds good to me." Yami said.

The two headed upstairs and got ready to go.

Once they were ready, they left the house.


Ho Fong's Chinese restaurant was one of the best Chinese restaurants in Domino, and it wasn't but a fifteen-minute drive from Yugi and Yami's house.

The two got out of the car once Yami had parked.

"I'm surprised. It's usually more crowded then this, especially on a Friday night." Yugi said.

"Don't complain." Yami said.

The two headed into the restaurant and soon sat down to eat.

After ordering, their food was soon brought to them.

"So, is there anything special that you have to do?" Yami asked.

"I just have to watch what I eat and take some prenatal vitamins that I was prescribed." Yugi said.

"Should you be eating this then?" Yami asked.

"I just can't go overboard on my eating. I'll be fine." Yugi assured him.

Yami nodded.

Once the two were done, they paid for their meal and left the restaurant.

"So, shall we go home." Yami asked.

"Yami, we might as well make the most of this night. We can go out and do something together." Yugi said.

"Hmm. That's a good idea." Yami said.

"How about we go and see a movie?" Yugi asked.

"Excellent idea." Yami said as he got into the passenger seat. He chuckled. "At least we don't have to see a kiddie movie." Yami said.

"No, we don't." Yugi agreed.

The two headed to the movie theater.


Yugi and Yami walked into their house after a night out.

"You know, we haven't had a date night in a while." Yami said.

"I know. We've been so busy with the wedding and the kids that we haven't had the chance to just go out by ourselves in a while." Yugi said.

"It was nice, though." Yami said.

"You might as well enjoy it while you have the chance. Once this baby is born," Yugi said, patting his stomach, "we won't have much of a chance to get out."

"I know, but we can enjoy it while we can." Yami said as he wrapped his arms around Yugi.

"Are you ready for dessert?" Yugi asked.

"Of course I am." Yami said, leaning down to kiss Yugi.

"Yami, I was talking about real dessert." Yugi said.

Yami pulled back. "You what?" Yami asked.

"I'm in the mood for ice cream." Yugi said. He ducked out of Yami's arms and headed into the kitchen.

Yami sighed. 'Am I ever going to manage to get some action tonight?' Yami asked himself as he followed his fiancé into the kitchen.

Yugi was already into the refrigerator. "Well, it looks like vanilla is all we have." Yugi said as he took it out.

"Is there a certain kind that you want?" Yami asked.

"It's fine. I can pick it up later." Yugi said. He fixed himself a bowl of ice cream with chocolate syrup. He glanced over at Yami and said, "Want any?"

"Why not?" Yami said. He walked over and made himself a bowl.

The two then sat down to eat it.

"I don't usually eat ice cream like this." Yugi remarked.

"I think that this might be a sign that we need to keep the house in stock of ice cream during your pregnancy." Yami said.

"Probably." Yugi agreed.

Once done, the two washed the bowls.

"Now," Yugi said, wrapping his arms around Yami's neck, "it's time for your kind of dessert."

Yami smirked before he kissed Yugi roughly.

It would be a long night for them.


Yugi woke up the next morning feeling rather content. He glanced over and saw that Yami was sleeping on his stomach with his arms under the pillow.

'He should be wore out after last night.' Yugi thought.

The two had ended up going five rounds the night before.

'It was a perfect night, though.' Yugi thought. He then got out of bed and took a shower before he headed downstairs. He went outside and got the paper before going back in.

Unlike Yami, Yugi read the paper in the morning.

Yugi had just sat down at the table with a glass of orange juice to read the paper when the doorbell. 'Who could that be?' Yugi asked himself. He stood up and walked over to answer the door.

Tea stood on the doormat.

"Can I help you, Tea?" Yugi asked. He couldn't help but wonder why Tea had come here. He knew Yami ad told her that he didn't want her.

"I wanted to talk to you." Tea said. Her voice held no real emotion.

Yugi debated for a moment before he decided that he might as well hear whatever it was that Tea wanted to say. He figured that he might as well get it over with. "Sure. Come on in." Yugi said, stepping aside.

Tea walked into the house, and Yugi shut the door.

The two walked into the living room.

"What can I do for you, Tea?" Yugi asked. He was being polite to her because she hadn't done anything to warrant his anger as of yet.

"I want you to let Yami go." Tea said.

Yugi raised an eyebrow. "Tea, Yami is free to leave whenever he wants if he so chooses. I am not forcing him to stay here." Yugi said.

"Of course he is forced to! You've let him live here for four years, so he feels he has to stay here with you because of that!" Tea snapped.

"Tea, I am not forcing Yami to stay here. He could have chosen to leave with you, and I would not have stopped him. He is a free man." Yugi said.

"Like hell he is! Why did he choose to stay with you instead of coming to me?" Tea demanded.

"Because he wanted to." Yugi answered calmly.

"Bullshit! I know that Yami loved me! I know that he still does! He's only with you because he feels he has to remain with you to repay you!" Tea snapped.

"Tea, I have never told Yami that he has to repay me. I've never asked him for anything. When I saw him five years ago, I saw that Yami was down on his luck and needed help. I offered him a place to live that was better than where he was. I did nothing more than that." Yugi said.

"Like I'll believe you. Yami doesn't love you. He couldn't love you." Tea said.

"Why, Tea? Why couldn't he love me?" Yugi asked.

"Because you're nothing special!" Tea snapped.

"That's your reason?" Yugi asked.

"Of course! Yami would still be with me if you hadn't gotten in our way!" Tea snapped.


Yami had woken up because of the yelling. He was groggy for a moment before he realized what was going on.

'Why the hell would Tea come here?' Yami asked himself.

Yami got out of bed and quickly dressed, intending to go downstairs and put an end to this.

Once dressed, Yami headed downstairs.

However, he stopped at the fact that Yugi was talking to her.


"So, I got in your way." Yugi said.

"Yes!" Tea said.

"Who left whom, Tea?" Yugi asked.

Tea looked startled. "What?" Tea asked.

"From what Yami told me, your father offered to pay for you to go Julliard if you left Yami. You left him to go to Julliard. You were the one who left Yami." Yugi said.

"It didn't matter! Yami knew that I would come back!" Tea said.

"Really? Did you tell him that?" Yugi asked.

"Well, no." Tea said.

"Did you even tell him that you were planning to come back?" Yugi asked.

"No." Tea said.

"Yami had no idea that you intended to come back. In fact, he figured that he would never see you again when you left him five years ago." Yugi said.

"It doesn't matter! I was the one that Yami chose back in high school!" Tea snapped.

"Perhaps, but you were the one who wasted that relationship. I will admit that had you not left, you two might still be together, but the fact of the matter is that you made the choice to leave Yami. You chose to give him up in order to chase your dream of becoming a dancer. You left Yami behind." Yugi said.

"I did what I needed to. I wanted to be a dancer, and this was my only shot." Tea said.

"Maybe, but don't you think that Yami had dreams of his own. He gave up some of his own dreams to be with you. He never gave you or Terrance up in order to achieve those dreams." Yugi said.

"It doesn't-" Tea started.

"It does matter, Tea. Yami was willing to give those things up, but you weren't. You left him with a child five years ago. You never acted as if you cared about the fact that you were giving him up." Yugi said.

"I was going to come back." Tea said.

"Tea, you left Yami with nothing. I offered to help Yami out. We lived here for four years before we got together. We had been together a year when he asked me to marry him. I never forced anything on him as you seem to think." Yugi said.

Tea shook her head. "No. Yami wouldn't have gone to you if you hadn't helped him. I know he would have waited on me." Tea said. She didn't want to believe that Yami had really given up on her.

"Tea, Yami would have moved on from you regardless of what happened. You never tried to reach him in five years. All that shows is that your dancing career meant a lot more to you than anything else." Yugi said.

"And what about you?" Tea demanded.

"I don't deny that I do have dreams. I may not get to some of them, but I won't leave Yami if the opportunity presents itself. If he can't go with me, I won't go." Yugi said

Tea looked surprised.

"Tea, I won't give up Yami because I have the chance to get something I want." Yugi said.

Tea was stunned. She hadn't expected this.

"Tea, I love Yami, and I won't give him up that easily. I'm not going to turn my back on him. I am in love with him, and that won't change." Yugi said.

Tea wasn't sure what to say.

"I never forced this. I never would. Yami moved on from you. He started dating me, we fell in love, and he proposed. He moved on from you, Tea. You need to accept the fact that you lost him when you made that choice five years ago." Yugi said.

"But he still loves me. I know he does." Tea said.

"No, I don't." Yami said, stepping into the room.

Yugi and Tea both turned to look at him.

"Tea, I got over you a long time ago. As Yugi said, I moved on. I love Yugi now, and I am not going to leave him just because you had a change of heart." Yami said.

"But-" Tea said.

"No buts, Tea. I have made up my mind. You left me. Now you have to live with the consequences of those actions." Yami said.

Tea was startled by this.

"Tea, I think it would be best if you leave." Yugi said.

Tea looked at Yugi and then at Yami. She then headed for the door.

"And Tea." Yami said.

Tea turned to look at him.

"Yugi never asked me for anything in return for Terrance and me living here. I started dating him because I wanted to. I proposed because I wanted to. I love him, and nothing you do can change that." Yami said.

Without another word, Tea left.

Yami walked over to Yugi and wrapped his arms around Yugi. "Are you okay?" Yami asked.

"I'm fine. I never yelled or got upset." Yugi said.

"Why did you let her in?" Yami asked curiously.

"Because I knew that she would keep coming here until she said her piece. I just got it over with." Yugi said.

"It makes me angry that she thinks you forced me into this relationship." Yami said.

"It's okay, Yami. You know the truth." Yugi said.

"I suppose." Yami said. He looked down at Yugi and said, "You handled that well."

"I know. Tea just doesn't want to face the fact that she gave you up. She didn't think of the possible consequences of her actions." Yugi said.

"I just hope that she leaves us alone now." Yami said.

Yugi smiled. "Don't worry about it, Yami. Since you're up, how about breakfast?" Yugi asked.

"Good idea." Yami agreed.

Yugi headed into the kitchen to fix breakfast, and Yami went to help him.

Both were putting what happened with Tea behind them so that they could look ahead to their bright, happy future.


Hope you liked it.

Next: Yugi and Yami tell their families about the pregnancy.
