Chapter 14
Baby…that's not all
Thanks for being so patient with me…
So many dramas at the moment with me but im back baby and Mai is about to have the baby...
But wait theres more…..Seto then receives a mysterious phone call, a call that affects both him and his lover.
Seto cruises along the streets of domino has fast as he possibly can (being a billionaire, speeding tickets meant nothing and their was a pregnant woman in the back of the limo)
Valon and Mokuba sit in the back with Mai who is panting heavily. So much had already happened. Seto hadnt even had time to let the fact that his brother was back sink in and now in just a few hours he was to become a father?
Valon cltuched onto Mai's hand. He could tell she was worried, but Mai was not the type of girl to show anxiety especially her inner fear and Valon had guessed that. Seto was into much of a panic and a rush to care about the cockney boy who was once against him tagging along for the birth...
When they finally arrived at the Hospital Seto burst through the main doors and demanded a wheelchair for his girlfriend. His Hair was wet with sweat and eyes intensely blue with concern.
"I want the best room, the best doctors, money is no object" He shouts, as Mai is gently placed in a wheelchair with the help of Valon and two nurses.
"This is a very busy hospital sir and we understand that your partner is in labor" The calm receptionist responds.
"Did you not hear me?" He yells, pulling out a check book and writing a large sum onto it.
He threw it down on the desk beside her...
The receptionist observed the amount of money and widened her eyes. "I'll never have to work in this stinkin place again" she thought to herself.
She stares blankley at the handsome yet rude male then leans in towards him and says "Follow me"
Mai's face is flushed and her hands are firmly attached to the arms of the wheelchair.
"Ah" She moans. Seto almost knocks Valon out of the way and grabs Mai's chair, he follows the receptionist who leads him to the elevator.
"I have paged the head nurse and your midwife should be on her way" she explains.
Seto just nods his head and presses fiercly on the elevator buttons. He expected immediate service no matter what the cost.
Panting and tense breathing filled the lift as the two lovers, Valon and Mokuba headed for the maternity ward.
"I cant beleive this is happening" Mai pants quietly.
Seto replies with a gruff "I know"
When the arrive in on the third floor, the neatly dressed CEO, fresh from winning a wheels his girlfriend aggressively past any staff or other patients who are in the way...
The Head Nurse Leann Stern is already in the private room and the midwife had paged to say she was arriving in less than 20 minutes.
"Mr Kaiba I presume?" the darkhaired female politely inquires.
Seto tosses her inquiry aside and orders that his panting and stressed out girlfriend delivers the baby.
Mai closes her eyes and yelps as she is placed on the bed by one of the nurse aids and Valon who sits by her side.
Seto paces the floor, waiting for the midwife to arrive. Mokuba cant help but laugh at the state his elder brother is in. He had never shown so much concern over anyone...except years ago when Mokuba was grieving for his parents or being picked on in the orphanage they were forced to live in.
When the redheaded Midwife arrived, Mai was already having contractions, she tried to hide the pain she was in but was injected with an epidural and given words of support from both nurse stern and her helpful midwife.
Mai could feel the baby moving inside of her, almost ready to burst itself out of her.
"Its too soon, its only been an hour" She cries. Her curly blonde hair was stuck to her face and her eyeliner was nearly running.
In Seto's eyes she had never looked so alluring. He could be the one to take charge and protect her in her time of need.
He didnt know why he had this urge to look after the head strong woman..perhaps he really did love her.
"Hey bro you better get over here" Mokuba hints.
Valon steps aside and gives the blonde a warm smile.
"Its alright luv" He softly says.
The nurses look at each other and smile.
Seto, ripe with jealousy steps in and grabs Mai by the hand while the midwife prepares to deliver the baby. Mokuba sits on the other side while nurses stand by (as does Valon)
Mai then looks into Kaiba's deep blue orbs. The mist in her own eyes covers the deep violet coloring that they are.
"I...I cant do this" "I dont want to""No" She says with pain.
Seto kneels down beside her and presses his other hand against her cheek he looks deep into her eyes.
"Mai you will have this baby" "It will be fine and you will do brilliantly"
his words are firm yet kind.
"Uh..uh" She replies with a slight push.
"Come on girl just a few more pushes" The midwife says.
Seto then grabs both of Mai's hands. She squeezes onto them tightly and looks at him with a trust she has never shown anyone before, apart from her parents...
"You know why we will get through this?" he whispers.
"Because I love you"
Mokuba and Valon look white with shock.
Mai dosent have time to take Seto's spontanious words in. Perhaps it was the spur of the moment, maybe the epidural had made Mai so vulnerable...perhaps alot of things contributed to the present events that were taking place!
"One last push, the baby's crowned come on..." Nurse Stern stood by as the midwife urged the blonde to push for the last time.
Mai squeezes Seto's pale hand til it was almost blue and winced harshly. Her strength, the epidural and now Seto's three words had given her what she needed to have this baby...
10 minutes later a small cry was heard. The midwife wraps the newborn in a small white towel and smiles.
"Congratulations" "You have a healthy baby boy" she annouces, handing the small little baby to mai.
She breathed a sigh of releif and rested against the pillow.
Valon and Mokuba hover around the little boy while Nurse Stern cuts the umbilical cord.
Mai didnt speak, she just starres at the little person, his eyes are so large and the deepest blue she has seen.
Kaiba stands over the baby and strokes Mai's hair softly...
"I think we should leave the two new parents alone" Nurse stern, ushered a reluctant Mokuba out of the room.
"You can see him later" Mai says with a weary smile.
"Okay" the raven haired boy gleams.
"Well done Mai" Valon says, looking at the floor uuneasy.
"thanks Valon"
As the brunette walks out of the room, he hears Mai call out to him
"Come and visit okay?"
A euphoric smile breaks across his face. He nods affirmatively.
Mai feeds her new little son, who continues to stare up at his mother with those dark blue eyes.
"Kaiba eyes" "just like your father" She quietly speaks.
Seto nods in agreement and lets himself smile a little.
He then looks at his new son and both eyes meet for the first time. A silent bond that cannot be broken has just begun between the father and son.
Seto sits on the edge of Mai's bed and continues to watch his son feed.
"Did you mean it Seto?" Mai asks.
Seto looks up and nods his head.
"Yes Mai I do" he automatically knew what she was talking about it.
Seto was amazed at how beautiful his lover looked when she finally smiled back at him. although she was exhausted and her make up had faded, To Kaiba she was more gorgeous than red lipstick and fancy clothing could ever make her out to look like.
"So we are parents...you and me, Kaiba and Valentine" The blonde smirks.
Seto half laughs and sighs.
"I suppose you and your child want to live with me?" how typical" he sarcastically muses.
Mai winks at her blue eyed beau.
"Oh you bet Mr"
Later on as the night came upon the city of domino.
Seto Kaiba sits with his little son in his arms for the first time. He walks up and down the room, every few minutes looking over at Mai who was sleeping off the epidural.
He loved the way she looked when she slept, there were many things he wanted to do with her while she slept but then again, she enjoyed being awake for some of them -
So for the mean time Kaiba held his son and stroked his small soft head gently.
He walks towards the window and looks out at the stars shining around the full moon . The shine was so intensely bright that it lit the inside of the room. He could see his son under the light of the moon.
His jet black hair and deep blue eyes, the placid way he sleeps and snuggles into his fathers arms almost like he knows straight away who his parents were...
"Now what to name you" he softly spoke. Generally you say welcome to the world little one, but Kaiba chose to the first thing he ever said to his son to be "Now what to name you?"
All of a sudden Seto's phone began to ring. He had it on a low tone, so Mai would not wake up. Not expecting anyone from his company to call (Roland would have informed them all of what has just happened) He sighs and grunts into the phone like he would one of his employees who forgot he was not long a new parent.
"What is it?"
"OOOH so harsh" A raspy voice replies.
Kaiba's blues widen. Using his instinct he tightens his grip on his son.
"Who is this?"
"If you really want to know who killed you and that pretty little blonde's of your's parents , then i suggest you meet me at the same place you beat Amelda"
Seto freezes and looks over at his lover sleeping.
"Listen you sick bastard If this isnt some juevinille prank then i accept your proposal"
"Oh I assure you its not" "I know all about you Seto Kaiba" "what a shame about those faulty brakes huh?"
This stirred an anger in kaiba's heart and fire in his eyes like never before..
How did this mysterious person know how his parents were killed if he had nothing to do with it?
"I will meet you and when I do, you WILL be sorry"
Seto then pauses..."On second thought you wont be, because you will be DEAD"
"I look forward to it Kaiba" "6pm tommorrow, you know where"
That was all that was said. Kaiba threw his phone in anger against the floor.
As the sun began to rise Mai begins to awaken. The baby cries.
Seto quickly hands his son back to Mai and kisses her firmly on the lips.
Mokuba and Valon then enter the room.
"So have you guys thought of a name yet?" Mokuba asks.
"Not now Mokuba" Seto snaps, rushing out of the room.
"Seto where are you going?" Mai asks, with the baby in her arms.
"I will tell you mai..." "Just not yet" he says before leaving the room.
Just then Yugi, joey and vivian arrive.
Seto is annoyed to see all three of them in the hospital corridor.
"What do you three want?" he snares.
"Well Mai's just had YOUR baby and your leaving so soon?" Vivian snarls.
"Yeah theres a thing called responsibility pal..." Joey rambles but Yugi cuts him off.
He then pulls Kaiba aside.
"I know who killed your parents Kaiba" "Mai's too" "You need to let her know before you face the man who did this"
Seto is stunned yet not extremely surprised, Yami yugi was the king of games and did seem to know all the evil goings on around Domino.
Seto walks away from the three of them when Yugi calls out to him one last time.
"Dont keep it a secret thats what he wants"
Seto immediately spins around and pushes all three people out of the way.
He then orders everyone to clear the room.
"Mai there's something you need to know" "NOW" he says.
Mai clutches her son and looks at her lover with curious eyes.
"What is it?"
"Its about our parents...and the man who killed them"
The dramas continue
And the ultimate showdown will take place...but will it be with card games or force?
What will they call their baby? and should seto and mai marry?
all will be revealed in the second to last chapter
again proving NO DAY IS THE SAME
