Time has passed since the wedding, Yugi was now causing mischief towards the servant girls. Much to Yami's displeasure and Yugi's actions aren't helping with his mood swings and constant fatigue. Currently, Yami was in his chambers reading a book as Atem walked in with Yugi in his arms.
"How is my jewel of the nile," Atem asked as he placed Yugi on the bed
"Frustrated. One of the twins won't stop kicking" Yami said as he winced and rubbed his belly to soothe his little one
"Well any day now we will be expecting the twins," Atem said proudly as he rubbed Yami's belly as well the young Pharaoh sat on the bed next to Yami
Yami smiled and rested his head on his husband's shoulder. He rubbed his nine-month belly while Yugi rested between Yami's legs, taking a nap. Atem never told Yami what bothered him all those months ago but he was willing to tell Yami when the time was right. The sun was already setting and Yugi tended to take his naps early so he can wake up early.
Atem began to get ready for bed while Yami placed Yugi in his crib. When they both returned to bed, Yami laughed slightly as he saw his little one-year-old Neko child right behind him. Atem sighed and looked down behind him to see Yugi wide awake.
"Of all times why now?" Atem said jokingly while Yugi smiled and babbled a few words
Yami smiled as Atem placed Yugi back in his crib and went back to see Yami holding out a bottle of milk for him to take. The young king took the bottle and walked back to Yugi's room and gave the young Neko his bottle.
"Goodnight yugi," Atem said as he kissed his forehead
Yugi cooed as he drank from his bottle and slowly fell asleep. When Atem left Yugi's room, Yami was already fast asleep. He smiled and settled himself next to Yami and immediately he fell asleep.
6 Hours Later...
It was the late hours of the night when Yami awoke in pain. He sat up from the bed and took in deep breaths.
"Atem" Yami breathed out as he nudged his mate
Atem merely groaned but kept sleeping making Yami growl. He pushed Atem off the bed when he didn't listen to him as his pain took over his empathy. Atem was awakened and a bit startled as he stared at his mate.
"Yami What in Ra's name-" Atem began as he saw the wet sheets
"Atem! Call Isis!" Yami yelled angrily as he screamed in pain
Atem quickly ran to go find Isis but when he opened his bedroom he saw Isis already prepared to help Yami. Jonouchi and Malik were also with her. The Pharaoh let them in as he went to go get Yugi. Isis saw Yami calm his breathing when she entered the room.
"It's a good thing you know what you're doing Yami," Malik said as he remembered when he helped Yami first give birth
Yami smiled a little before he hissed in pain, Atem was waiting in the lounge when Shimon and Solomon entered. Yugi was sleeping peacefully but he was slowly waking up.
"Nervous?" Shimon asked
"Yes and slightly excited," Atem said as he held Yugi in his arms
"I remember when Yugi was born. Yami cursed so much I believe Yugioh heard him" Solomon laughed
"I believe he's cursing now. When we passed his room I heard slight screaming and yelling" Shimon said as he thought if he heard right
Atem was about to respond when Yami's voice echoed throughout the palace halls. He winced and covered Yugi's ears as Yami cursed. Solomon and Shimon began to laugh as the cursing stopped. Atem chuckled lightly and uncovered Yugi's ears when he bit him. Atem flexed his hand a bit as Yugi reached for it.
"Yugi's been teething lately," Atem said as Yugi began to nibble on his fists
"Growing new teeth already? My he's growing fast" Shimon said with a chuckle
As they all talked Yami was panting and sweating as Isis told him to keep pushing while Malik and Jono helped with other things.
"I see the head Yami. One more push and the baby is out" Isis said as Yami nodded
The young parent pushed once more and panted as he didn't have to push for a few more minutes. Crying was heard and the infant Neko looked exactly like Atem. Isis cleaned the baby and handed the infant to Yami.
"Congratulations. You have a baby boy" Isis said with a smile
Yami smiled and cooed at his baby, he had the same tricolored hair as Atem along with his lightning bolt streaks. He had the same colored ears as him and no doubt the tail was exactly the same as well. Yami handed his baby to Malik when he felt another contraction hit.
"Let's get back to work," Isis said as she got ready to help Yami deliver the second infant
Yami began to push while Jonouchi wiped the sweat from Yami's forehead with a cloth. After a few minutes the baby was delivered but when Isis cleaned the infant it wasn't crying. Alarmed she began to blow on the infant's face hoping to get it to breathe. Yami soon became worried about his baby's life.
"Isis why isn't he crying?" Yami said in alarm
Isis didn't answer while Jonouchi tried to calm Yami down to keep him from having a panic attack. After two minutes of blowing on the infant's face, he began to cry and color returned to his cheeks. Yami sighed in relief as Isis handed him his child.
"You have a baby girl," Isis said with a smile on her face as Yami held the infant in his arms
To Yami, something seemed familiar about her, like he knew her once a long time ago. But he pushed the thought aside and smiled at his daughter. She looked almost like him, blonde bangs, amethyst tips, and the slight tan on her pale skin. Malik left to go inform Atem of the new arrivals while Jonouchi and Isis helped clean the room. Isis packed up her medical supplies while Jono used his magic to clean Yami's bed and to get rid of the smell of afterbirth.
When Atem came into the room with Yugi in his arms followed by the two grandfathers. They all smiled when they saw the twins being held by Yami. The young mother smiled tiredly at them as he looked at the young infants. Yugi stared at them before he began to fall asleep.
"We should let him sleep. It's been a long night" Shimon said as Solomon agreed with him
"You're right. We can visit our grandchildren tomorrow" Solomon replied as he and Shimon left the room
Atem sat next to Yami, Yugi still in his arms asleep. Yami smiled at him as he stared at the twins.
"I've never imagined on having twins," Yami said softly
"Well we're going to have a whole new adventure with these three running around the palace in a few years," Atem said as he stared at the twins with a loving smile
"What should we name them?" Atem asked softly
"The boy. I believe we should name him Heba" Yami said with love "and what should we name our baby girl?" Yami asked shocking Atem a bit
"I have a little girl. I wish my mother was here to see this" Atem said happily with tears in his eyes
"She would be so proud of you," Yami said with a smile
"We should name her after my mother. Amara" Atem said making Yami smiled before he yawned
"We should get some sleep," Yami said tiredly
Atemu smiled and placed Yugi in the bed as he put the twins in the crib that Isis provided. Yugi snuggled close to his mother as he slept while Yami ran his fingers through his hair. Atem got back into bed and placed the blankets over them and slept.
Throughout everything, the two lovers have been through. They never thought they would meet because of a raid, the risks Yami took, and the festival Atem held that day. And if things were different, the two will always find a different way to come together. They had the years ahead of them to have their own adventures in the Kingdom of Egypt.
"And from there on out, they had to get three pesky Neko children out of trouble," A very old Neko said
"But grandpa if mother and father never met. How would they meet again if it were different circumstances if I was never captured" said a ten-year-old Neko child
"Yugi my boy, if you were never captured I believe fate would have a different path to get your parents together like Solomon said," An old man said holding the millennium key with a smile on his face
"Shimon and I have witnessed every single adventure your parents had. And they wrote it all down in a book they keep here in the library" Solomon said
"Grandfather, does our mother still have that music box?" An eight-year-old said as his twin held their parent's book in her hands
"I know he does Heba. He keeps it in his room and plays one of his most treasured songs" Solomon informed making the youngest of the three smile
"Mother looks very beautiful in the wedding gown he wore," Heba's twin said as she admired the picture of Yami in his wedding attire
"That he does little one," said a smooth baritone voice
The three Neko children turned around and smiled brightly when they saw their parents.
"Mother! Father!" They all yelled happily as they stood up from their seats and ran towards them to give them a hug
"What have you three been up to since we've been gone," Yami said as he rubbed his four-month pregnant belly
"Ji-chan and Geddo told us about how you two met and all the obstacles you've been through but they kept your dream a secret father," Heba's twin said with a pout as she crossed her arms across her chest
"Now Amara. What have I told you about pouting it's not becoming for a princess" Yami said jokingly as Amara laughed
The family laughed as Solomon and Shimon stared at the family with smiles on their faces. As they saw the family talk and laugh, Yami sat next to his grandfather and rubbed his pregnant belly.
"Four children. Thank goodness we're stopping at four" Atem said as he sat beside his queen
The two old men in the room shook their heads in agreement as they watched the children play in the lounge. Yami bit his lip which made Atem nervous.
"Yami?" Atem asked in worry
"Well, four is an understatement. How about six?" Yami said with a nervous smile
"Triplets?" Atem said in shock before he smiled "we can handle that" Atem said as wrapped his arm around Yami
Solomon and Shimon looked at each other before laughing. Yami and Atem joined while the kids looked at them as if they lost their minds.
"Do we even want to ask?" Heba said to Yugi
"No. It's just something we do" Yugi said with a smile as remembered something his father wrote in his book
Later that night, Yugi was in his bed reading a book with gold lining and amethyst colored roses covering the books front cover. One specific line always made him smile as he learned his father used to say it to his mother all the time.
"When odds are against us. We have a family to help us through it. And with it we can overcome anything" -Yugioh
Yugi began to walk back to the library while everyone was asleep. He searched for the pedestal that kept his parents book. When he found it he ran his fingers over the book with care.
"What are you doing out of bed?" A soft voice asked making Yugi jump
"Mother! You startled me" Yugi said as he turned to face Yami
"I can tell when my children are awake," Yami said with a smile as he saw the book behind Yugi "Let's get reading shall we," Yami said as he sat down on the cushions of pillows on the floor
Yugi smiled and brought the book to Yami as he sat next to him. He made himself comfortable as he snuggled close to his mother. Yami placed a blanket over them while Yugi held the book in between them.
"The Neko and the Pharaoh" Yugi said as he began to read the story
The End.
