Here's the next chapter.

Sorry about the long wait. I've been working so much that I just don't feel like writing anything when I get home because I'm so tired. I'm also moving house so my family has been working my ass in between work. So move part of house in the morning and then get cleaned up and got to work where you are already half dead.

Yeah but I'll try to write and update some more.

Enjoy.

Chapter 21

~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~

Atemu said nothing and just looked at the ground. Yugi looked over not hearing a reply and nearly panicked. Yugi climbed on and moved in front of Atemu and knelt in front of him.

"Please don't hate me. Atemu please." Yugi begged.

Atemu looked up and wrapped and arm around him and held him close. "Shh calm down. It's alright. Can I know why?"

"Its just I what you said earlier when I was pregnant again. I know you didn't mean it it's just hurts. You need to make up for it a little."

"So I need to win you over again?"

Yugi nodded a little and Atemu just chuckled and hugged him gently. Yugi smiled slightly and leaned against him. Atemu kissed his forehead, got up and placed Ororo, who was slowly falling asleep, into her cot. Atemu gently covered her up and kissed her forehead before turning around to Yugi.

Yugi smiled as he watched Atemu with Ororo. Even though he still feared Atemu a little bit he had to admit that he was making a great father already. Yugi looked over to the door when there was a knock to see Sarah there with two bowls of food in her hands.

"Hi Yugi, your mother's made dinner."

"Thankyou Sarah."

Yugi took both bowls from her. "Your mother thought King Atemu would like some."

"Thankyou."

Sarah left, not before bowing to Atemu and left. Atemu had watched her closely since she'd been in the room and sat on the side of the bed and took the bowl from Yugi.

"So that explains why she had disappeared."

"Didn't Bakura and Marik tell you? I took Sarah because I needed someone to feed Ororo, I most certainly can't. She had looked after her so well and she's been a good friend when I was with Pegasus."

"I know that now." Atemu then sighed. "Yugi I'm so sorry for everything."

Yugi put his bowl down and took Atemu's from him. Kneeling on the bed Yugi took Atemu's face into his hands and forced him to look at him.

"It's not your fault. You didn't know this could have happened. No one could. Please stop blaming yourself. I know you have been constantly lately. "

"How?"

"Atemu you don't think I would be here and not ask for any knowledge of my mate. Bakura and Marik have sent me letters about how you were. You need to go back to the meetings. The kingdom will start to fall if you do not. You know I'm fine but you need to start ruling again."

"But..."

"No buts! I'm fine and I'll come back in my own time. You can still visit. I'm just say you need to get back to ruling. Please for me?"

"Alright."

Yugi smiled and kissed his cheek lovingly. "Thankyou."

It had been a couple of months and Yugi had just moved back into the castle. Atemu had been ecstatic. Ororo was enjoying all the attention Atemu had been giving her since he and Yugi made up while Yugi stayed at his parents place. Right now it was morning and Atemu was letting Yugi sleep in. Moving back in had taken a toll on him and Atemu wanted to let him rest. Since Atemu had work he had to do that morning he couldn't stay till Yugi woke so he got dressed and left a note for him.

Yugi woke not too long after Atemu had left and he felt so weak. He was weak enough that he couldn't use the link to contact him. Yugi didn't know what was wrong and he could hear Ororo crying in her room. Yugi tried to lift himself up to go get her but he couldn't move a muscle. Yugi tried to call out for help but it didn't work, he couldn't speak.

Yugi felt tears leave his eyes, listening to his daughter as he crying became worse and also because of his fear that something was wrong with him. Yugi continued trying to move but all he could get was a finger or toe to twitch.

After about half an hour Yugi heard someone knock on the door and he tried to answer but it didn't work. They knocked again and Ororo cried louder before the person opened the door and looked in. Yugi noticed it was Sarah and she frowned before running into the room where Ororo was and picked her up. Yugi heard Ororo's crying become softer but she still cried. Sarah came back out carrying a softly crying Ororo and looked at him disapprovingly.

"Yugi your daughter wanted you. Why didn't you go to her?"

Yugi tried to talk or move but neither worked. Yugi just hoped she could see he was trying. Sarah frowned and walked over to the bedside and looked at him. Yugi fingers twitched slightly and she became slightly panicked.

"Yugi what's going on? Why won't you get up?" Yugi's eyes darted down to his hands and showed fingers moved a little but that was it. "I'm going to get the King."

She then left with Ororo in her arms. Yugi felt tears fall down his face. He felt bad for his daughter and he was terrified as to why he couldn't move.

~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~

Sarah approached the throne room where she knew the King was in having a meeting. There were two guards outside that stopped her.

"Please let me in. I need to see the King."

"The King is in a meeting and wishes not to be disturbed."

"I need to see him. It's about his mate."

One guard walked in while the other kept her out.

~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~

Atemu looked up seeing the guard enter and glared at him.

"What is it?"

"Sarah wants to speak with you."

"I'm busy. Tell her to come back later."

"My King she comes about your mate."

Atemu looked up at the guard in an instant. "Send her in."

The guard bowed and left. A second later Sarah entered with Ororo crying softly in her arms still. Sarah bowed her head softly to him, since he had told her not to bow to him if she had Ororo in her arms. Atemu walked down the steps and took his daughter and was able to calm her down.

"What is going on? What is wrong with Yugi?"
