Chapter Twenty-one

It took Hank, Roland and the other men two weeks to get back from Margie's. When they finally got to Domino, they drove straight to the Manor and as they all got out of the vehicles the front door of the Manor opened and out walked Seto and Joey and when Margie and the ladies saw them they all squealed and as Joey and Seto descended the stairs they were both engulfed by ten pairs of arms and hugged and kissed till they both felt like they had just been grabbed by some giant octopus, but they wouldn't of wanted it any other way.

When everyone got inside there was Mokie and he came running and Belinda caught him and she gave him the biggest kiss and then he was kissed by the others and when it was Margie's turn to kiss him she whispered "it's good to see you again, you little stinker" and then she kissed him. Joey, Seto, Hank and Roland all had tears streaming down their faces and they witnessed the love between Mokuba and the ladies.

Then Greta came out and asked "anyone hungry for some southern fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, home made biscuits and gravy and peach cobbler for dessert?" Everyone shouted together "we are!" And as they all followed Greta they went to the dining room and there on the table was a feast set for royalty and as they all sat down, Mokuba bowed his head and said grace. "Please bless the food on this table and the people around it and thank you for bringing us all together again. Amen."

Then they all began digging in and the laughter and love that surrounded that room was infectious and everyone had the best time of their lives. When they meal was over and Greta and two of her best cooks brought out the large dishes of Peach Cobbler, Margie stood up and said "Greta this is the best meal the me and my girls have ever eaten and we all want to thank you for what you've done for us."

Greta walked over to Margie and she put her arm around Margie's waist and she said "we are all family in this house so as I have always taught both Seto and Mokuba, family always does for family and that includes all of you." Margie the kissed Greta's cheek and all the ladies stood up and went over and gave Greta a kiss too and then they all sat down to eat the best dessert that they had ever eaten.

When dinner was over and they all went to the Living Room and sat down, that's when Seto stood up went over to the desk in the corner and opened up the drawer and took out a large tablet and said "could I please have your attention, on this tablet I have perspective employers for each of you ladies if you wish to check them out. What you'll find is that these employers only hire the best of the best to work for them, so you won't find any discrimination about who is the best qualified for the positions on this sheet." He then passed out the copies of positions from different Companies that were looking to fill the positions that each lady was qualified to do. As they all looked at the positions they all had tears in their eyes because they were being offered jobs doing the kind of work that they all loved but wasn't allowed to do before and they all sat there and then Belinda said "Seto, what can we do to repay you for all that you and Joey are doing for us?"

Joey stood up then and he said "first before you want to thank us let me say, until you've started working and earning enough money to find places of your own we want all of you to stay here in the Manor, but there are ground rules that each of you have to agree with.

1. No late hours staying out and partying.

2. No men allowed in here at all.

3. You never have to ask for anything, just say what you'd like and if Greta can she will give it to you.

4. Just have the best damn times of your lives and realize that you are now with family and as a family we all support each other."

Cynthia the stood and wiped the tears from her face and she asked "where do we sign up for all these great rules?" That caused everyone to burst out laughing and then Margie stood and said "this is the first time in years when all of us have been treated like people instead of some kind of commodity and we all love it and want to say thanks to all of our new family for showing us that as Joey said family doesn't always have to be related by blood."

Then Mokie stood and he said "Seto can I show my adopted mom and new sisters where their rooms are?" Seto laughed and said "why don't we all show them and then we can let them get situated and tomorrow we can have an old fashioned picnic in the back yard, how does that sound?" Everyone cheered as they followed Mokuba up the winding staircase and to their rooms.

After they were shown their rooms and allowed to put their things away, Joey, Seto and Mokie went downstairs and found Hank and Roland sitting at the kitchen table playing poker with Greta and she was beating the pants off them.

Seto laughed out loud and then he said "Joey why don't you call Bakura and let him know that Margie and the ladies are here in Domino and tell him about the picnic tomorrow and ask if he and the others could come, I bet Margie and the others would love to see them again."

So Joey went into the Library and dialed Yugi's phone number and as he talked to him, Joey told him about the picnic and that he, Yami and grandpa were all invited and then he asked for Bakura's number and after talking to Yugi for awhile he hung up and called Bakura.

Ryou answered the phone and when Joey told him why he was calling Ryou said "Bakura is in a nasty mood, but if you really want to talk to him I'll go get him." Then Joey said "wait, why don't I just come over and talk to him face to face?" Ryou then said "well it's your funeral, but come on over."

Joey went to talk to his dad and "they decided to go together to have a talk to Bakura about tomorrow" and Seto prayed that they were doing the right thing, because Bakura could be one hell of a mean bastard when he wanted to.

Ryou opened the door and found Joey and his dad standing there and he smiled and said "I guess you're going to try to talk to him aren't you?" Joey nodded and Ryou pointed them in the direction to Bakura's room and as Joey knocked on the door they heard "get the hell away from here before I send your worthless ass to the Shadow Realm and let them feed off your bones!!"

Hank looked at his son with fear in his eyes and Joey knocked louder and longer and when the door came flying open they came face to face with the most horrifying looking person that Hank had ever seen, but Joey only said "what's got your ass in a bunch?"

Bakura blinked twice and then started laughing and as he grabbed Joey he said "Wheeler, you are the only person who could get away saying that to me, now what the hell do you and your father want?"

Joey told Bakura and he laughed out loud and then he looked right at Hank and he said "Margie told me that you proposed to her and she accepted is that right?'

Hank told him "yes." And then Bakura told him, that is one hell of a great lady and if I ever find out that you have hurt her, well lets just say that your time on this earth will be over, is that understood?"

Hank smiled and held out his hand and Bakura shook it and Hank then said "I love Margie and how could I ever hurt my soul mate? She is part of my heart, maybe not the same as Joey's mom was, but she is still part of my heart and I will love her and shower he with my love for the rest of our lives together." Bakura the did something he rarely does, he gave Hank a hug and told him "you're one hell of a man to have that lady love her.'

Please R&R...

Chapter Twenty-two Coming Up...Bakura agrees that they will all come over to the Manor.
