I added several things in this chapter.
Chapter 21- A Wedding, A Proposal, and A Birth
Yuugi and Heba were going over some of the last minutes wedding plans.
"Okay. We have the caterer lines up. We have a band for the music. We have all the decorations and where they're going to be planned out. You have your best man. Does Atemu have his?" Yuugi asked.
"Yes. Atemu asked Yami to be his best man, and Yami agreed." Heba replied.
"Okay. Let's see we've got all the guest invitations sent out." Yuugi said.
"They had better have just been to friends and family." Heba said.
Yuugi rolled his eyes. "You and Atemu were the ones who made them out and mailed them. You should know." Yuugi said.
"Yeah. I know. Sorry. I guess I was just feeling a little nervous." Heba said.
"Heba, you've got a few weeks. You can keep calm." Yuugi said.
"I know. What about the wedding cake?" Heba asked.
"I took the three days before the wedding to help you get everything in order. The cake will get done." Yuugi said.
Heba nodded. "The floral arrangements?" Heba asked.
"Done." Yuugi said.
The guest seating for the wedding?" Heba asked.
"Again, done." Yuugi said.
"The reception arrangements?" Heba asked.
"Done," Yuugi said. He set the pad he had writing on down, took Heba by the shoulders, and forced him to sit down. "Heba, calm down. All we have to do is get everything set up, and that is my job. All you have to do is show up and get married." Yuugi said.
"Do we have all the tuxes?" Heba suddenly asked.
Yuugi glared at him. "What did I just say?" Yuugi asked.
"Sorry, but what about them?' Heba asked.
Yuugi let out a sigh. "I will pick them up two days before the wedding." Yuugi said.
Heba nodded. "I know I'm being a pain, but I really want everything to be perfect." Heba said.
"And it will be, but I want you to stop stressing out over this. It's not good for the baby." Yuugi said.
Heba nodded, rubbing his stomach. He was now five months pregnant, and it was painfully obvious.
"Hey, Dad! You here?" Jaden called.
"In the kitchen." Yuugi replied.
Jaden walked into the room and said, "Hey, Dad. What are you and Uncle Heba doing?"
"Your uncle is going to have heart failure from stress of the wedding plans." Yuugi said.
"I thought you were taking care of the wedding plans, Dad." Jaden said.
"So did I." Yuugi replied.
"Sorry. I guess I'm a little apprehensive since the wedding is just a couple of weeks away." Heba said.
"Where are you guys going for your honeymoon?" Jaden asked.
"I have no idea. Atemu told me that he would handle that, but he wouldn't tell me where we were going." Heba replied.
"A Caribbean cruise?" Yami said.
Atemu nodded. "Yep. I thought that a cruise would be nice since Heba's been so stressed out over the wedding plans." Atemu said.
"Wasn't Yuugi supposed to handle all of those?" Yami asked.
"Yes, but Heba can't let go." Atemu said.
Yami shook his head. "He'll need a relaxing vacation, but can he go since he's pregnant?" Yami asked.
"The pregnancy limit is six months, so we're safe." Atemu replied.
"Good." Yami said.
Atemu noticed a small black box sitting on Yami's desk and picked it up. "What's this, Yami?" Atemu asked.
"Atemu, don't-" Yami started.
Atemu opened the box to find a diamond ring in the box. His eyes widened and said, "Yami, are you planning to ask Yuugi to marry you?" He looked over at his brother with a curious expression on his face.
Yami sighed. "I plan to when the right moment comes." Yami replied.
Atemu raised an eyebrow. "And that moment hasn't come yet?" Atemu asked.
"No, and not a word to Heba. Your future husband tells Yuugi everything, and I don't want him spilling that one to Yuugi." Yami said.
"Okay. Okay. I won't tell him." Atemu said.
It was the day before Heba and Atemu's wedding, and Yuugi was outside in the gardens getting everything ready.
The wedding arch was in place, the seats were arranged as they needed to be, and the area for the band was set up.
Yuugi was satisfied with how everything looked out in the gardens and went inside to the ballroom which was where the reception would be.
The tables were set up where the guests would sit, the tables where the food would be was ready, and the area for dancing was there.
Arms slipped around Yuugi's waist from behind and someone nuzzled into Yuugi's neck. "You've been awfully busy lately, Yuugi." Yami said.
"I know, but I want this to be right." Yuugi said.
"I'm sure that everything will be fine." Yami said.
Yuugi nodded.
"Hey, Yuugi." Heba said, walking into the room.
"Hey, Heba." Yuugi replied.
"The gardens look great." Heba said.
"I was hoping you'd like it." Yuugi said.
"You've put a lot into all this." Heba said.
"I should know." Yami muttered.
"Yami." Yuugi warned.
"It's okay. I understand." Heba said. He looked at Yuugi and said, "What about the wedding cake?"
"Well, I'm going to go do that if my boyfriend will let go of me." Yuugi said.
Yami groaned, but finally let go of Yuugi, who left the room.
Heba giggled. "Don't worry, Yami. Yuugi will be all yours again soon." Heba said.
Yami nodded.
The day of the wedding had arrived, and Yuugi was making sure that everything was ready.
"Okay. It looks like everything is going good." Yuugi said.
"It should. You out a lot of work into this." a voice said.
Yuugi turned to face Seto. "Hey, Seto." Yuugi said.
"I wasn't sure if Atemu would ever get married." Seto said. He looked down at Yuugi and said, "I hope that yours will follow soon enough."
Yuugi smiled. "I don't know about that, Seto. It might not be too soon." Yuugi said.
"Let us hope that is not true." Seto said.
Yuugi smiled. "I'd better go see if Heba is ready." Yuugi said. He went into the house and to the room Heba was using. Yuugi knocked on the door and said, "Heba, it's me."
"Come in, Yuugi." Heba replied.
Yuugi walked into the room to find Heba dressed in a black tuxedo with a white shirt, and he was struggling to get his shoes on. "Need some help getting the shoes on?" Yuugi asked.
Heba sat back and said, "Yeah. I can't see my feet to get them on."
Yuugi nodded and bent down, getting Heba's shoes on. He stood up and said, "You ready?'
"I'm a little nervous." Heba said.
"Hey. Atemu loves you and you love him. Concentrate on him and you'll be fine." Yuugi said.
Heba nodded, and the two left the room.
The ceremony began, and Atemu and Heba face the priest with Yami by Atemu and Yuugi by Heba.
Seto, Jou, Ryou, Malik, Bakura, Ryou, Leo, Yuesei, Jaden, and Sunni all sat in the audience.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to join Atemu Sennen and Heba Mutou in matrimony." the priest said. He turned to Atemu and said, "Atemu, do you take Heba as your lawful husband to have to hold, in sickness and in health until death due you part?' the priest asked.
"Yes, I do." Atemu said, looking at Heba.
Heba smiled at him as the priest said, "Heba, do you take Atemu as your lawful husband to have and to hold, in sickness and in health until death due you part?"
"Yes, I do." Heba said.
"With the power invested in me, I pronounce you married." the priest said.
Atemu and Heba kissed each other, eliciting applause from the audience.
"I present Atemu and Heba Sennen for the first time." the priest said.
At the reception, the guests were eating, talking, or dancing.
"You know, I think that this day was perfect." Atemu said as he danced with Heba.
"Well, we have Yuugi to thank for that." Heba said.
"I was thinking just for you being married to me now, but Yuugi did make it even better. Remind me to thank him." Atemu said.
"I'll thanking him to." Heba said.
Leo, Yuesei, Seto, Jou, Ryou, Bakura, Malik, and Marik watched the couple.
"Well, looks like they've got their happy ending." Bakura said.
"It's so sweet, and they've only got four moths left before they're parents." Ryou said.
"Yeah. Can't wait to see how they handle that." Seto said.
"Now, all we have to do is wait for Yami and Yuugi to get married again." Leo said.
"You think that those two will ever tie the knot again?" Marik asked.
"I think they will. I mean, I really don't think that Yami will be able to stand being with Yuugi much longer without proposing." Yuesei said.
Yuugi and Yami watched as Atemu and Heba danced.
"They look really happy, don't they?' Yuugi asked.
"Yeah, they do." Yami replied. 'And hope that we'll be married soon, too.' Yami thought.
Three months had passed, and Yuugi and Yami were out walking in the park late.
"You still have a thing for walking in the park, you know." Yuugi said.
"I know, but I like walking in the park." Yami said.
"Yami, I really hope that you're not planning on us doing anything here." Yuugi said, glancing at him.
"I'm not. I promise." Yami said as they sat down on a bench.
Yuugi sighed as he gazed up at the moon. "The moon's beautiful tonight, isn't it?" Yuugi asked.
"Yes, it is, but it doesn't even compare to your beauty." Yami said.
Yuugi blushed at his words. "Why do you always say that?" Yuugi asked.
"Because it is true, and because there's something I want to ask you." Yami said.
Yuugi turned to look at him. "What?" Yuugi asked.
Yami slid off the bench to kneel in front of Yuugi. "Yuugi, I love you and nothing will change that. I'm glad that you gave us another chance." he took out a black box and opened it to reveal the diamond ring. "Yuugi, will you marry me again?' Yami asked.
Yuugi eyes widened and began to water. "Yes, Yami. Yes, I will marry you." Yuugi said.
Yami leaned forward and kissed Yuugi. "I'm happy, Yuugi." Yami said as he put the ring on Yuugi's finger.
"You should have known that I would say yes." Yuugi said.
"I had a feeling you would." Yami said, kissing him again.
Heba sat in the living room with Yuugi, who had the day off. "So, Yami finally asked you to marry him last night?" Heba asked.
Yuugi nodded. "I've been wondering when he would pop the question." Yuugi said.
"I can tell that you're happy. I get the feeling that you're going to have the wedding soon" Heba said.
"Yeah. We're planning on having it in the next few months." Yuugi said.
"That's good." Heba said.
"I take it that Atemu's excited that the baby will be coming soon." Yuugi said.
Heba nodded. "He can't wait. He's wishing the baby would come, which I am, too." Heba said.
"Partly because you want to see your baby, and partly because you want to not be pregnant anymore." Yuugi said.
"Yeah. How did you know?" Heba asked.
"I felt the same way with Sunni." Yuugi replied.
Heba suddenly felt a sharp and gasped, clutching his stomach.
"Heba, what's wrong?" Yuugi asked, worried.
"I don't know. I've been having pains like that all morning." Heba said.
"How has it been since the last one?" Yuugi asked.
"I don't know. Maybe ten minutes." Heba said.
"We need to get you to the hospital." Yuugi said.
"Why?" Heba asked.
"Heba, you're in labor." Yuugi said.
"I am?!" Heba exclaimed.
Yuugi nodded. "Where's the suitcase you packed?' Yuugi asked.
"Atemu took it to his office for when the baby came." Heba said.
"Okay. Let's get you to the hospital. We'll call Atemu so that he can meet us at the front since he's already there." Yuugi said.
Heba nodded, and Yuugi helped him up and out of the house to the car.
Atemu was pacing nervously at the ER entrance. After Heba had called to tell him that he was in labor, and Yuugi was bringing him to the hospital, Atemu had been waiting nervously.
A moment later, Yuugi came in helping Heba.
"Heba, are you all right?' Atemu asked, running over to him.
"I'm okay." Heba said.
"His contractions are about eight minutes apart." Yuugi said.
Atemu nodded, and the nurses helped Atemu get Heba back into a room.
A few moments later, Yami arrived, who Yuugi had called. "Yuugi, is everything all right?"
"Yeah. They just got Heba back into the room. Considering how close Heba's contractions are, I don't think it'll take long." Yuugi said.
Yami nodded.
Yuugi had been right.
Heba had had a baby boy in only two hours, much to everyone's happiness.
Yuugi and Yami stood close to the bed where Heba was holding his Atemu's son, and Atemu was sitting beside him.
The baby had the same color hair and style as Atemu and Heba, but his bangs were like Atemu's while his eyes were Heba's color with Atemu's sharp features.
"What are you naming him?" Yuugi asked.
"Hiro Hitomi." Heba replied.
"Congratulations, you two." Yami said.
"Thanks." Atemu said.
Yuugi and Yami decided to leave the hospital.
"Yuugi, you think that we could have another child?" Yami asked.
"Why? Tired of Sunni?" Yuugi teased.
"Of course not. I would just like to have another one, that's all." Yami said.
"I don't see why we can't. I'd just like to wait a little while." Yuugi said.
"That's fine. I just like knowing that you'd keep the option open." Yami said.
"Of course I keep the option open. I'd just like to wait a little bit before we have one." Yuugi said.
Yami nodded and kissed Yuugi before they headed home.
Heba and Atemu are married, Yuugi and Yami are engaged, and Heba had the baby.
The next chapter will have Yuugi and Yami's wedding.
