Matt's POV

As I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, the sun's rays just beginning to peek through the curtains, my mind went over all that had happened the previous day. Usually I tried to not to think too much about what happened at the hospital once I was home, but this time it was hard not to. When I'd first started out as a nurse, it had been really hard to not get too involved with patients. You learned pretty quick not to though. If a patient was ill and they got worse, or even if they died, you had to be able to separate yourself from the situation mentally, otherwise it would eventually kill you inside.

But this wasn't just any ordinary patient, this was Joey, and it wasn't just a normal case either, it wasn't normal for young men to fall pregnant. I wondered how it had come to be, who was the father of Joey's baby? Had he even known he was pregnant? I'd learnt from Isis about how men could fall pregnant after sex with another man if it was done in the Shadow Realm. Maybe Joey had known then, surely he more than anyone would understand that this could happen after sex in that place. But what then had caused him to miscarry? Had he been raped like Seto thought? By who? My head started to throb slightly as all these questions spun around my head like a broken record.

"Awake already?" a deep voice asked sleepily.

Seto's question brought me back to reality. "Yeah" I replied, "How did you know?"

"The fact that your eyes were open, you feel really tense, you keep squeezing my hand-" Seto replied before I interrupted.

"Alright, alright I get it. I guess I'm just not really that sleepy" I said turning my head to look at him.

His lips curled into that trademark smirk as he murmured sexily, "Seriously? After yesterday I thought you'd be wiped out, I know I am". I laughed at this response, trust him to bring that up again! His arm that was round my waist tightened, pulling me closer to him. I turned onto my side so I could be even closer, and felt him place a kiss on my forehead before he rested his chin on top of my head. Still though I couldn't quite relax as the thoughts returned. It wasn't just Joey and his situation that I was thinking about, it was the guy I was cuddled up with. I wondered how our relationship would develop. It was weird, between us actually 'getting together' and now had only been a couple of days, yet I felt like we'd been together a lot longer than that, probably cause I'd lived here for that time after the twins were born. Oh well, either way, I was happy, I hope Seto was happy too…

"You're still awake aren't you" Seto said suddenly.

"Aw! What the hell? How do you know?" I asked as I pulled away. Geez! Nothing got past this guy!

"I didn't, just guessed" Seto said smiling. Through the dim light I could see he also looked concerned.

"You ok Seto?" I asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, but are you?" he said as he ran his hand up and down my arm.

I nodded saying, "Yeah just a lot of thoughts going round my head".

"Wanna talk about it?" he asked.

"No it's ok, it's just stuff at work, it's been a busy week" I replied.

Seto leaned forward and caught my lips in a kiss. Pulling back slightly, he whispered against my lips, "Love you".

I meant to reply, 'Love you too', but instead ended up saying, "Why?"

I saw Seto frown. "What?" he asked confused.

"I said why? Why do you love me?"

He rolled onto his back and looked at the ceiling, "I just do I guess". When I didn't say anything, he continued, "Since I've known you, you've always been there for me, I guess I've never had that before, I'm mean sure Mokuba's always been there, but it's nice to have someone taking care of me for a change."

I moved so that I was resting my chin on his chest and looked up at him. "Go on" I whispered. He looked down at me and moved his hand to caress my cheek. "And I dunno…you're such a genuine person, you're loving, caring, honest…" he smirked again, "And a damn good fuck in the woods"

"Ah! I knew it! You only want me for one thing!" I replied in mock hurt.

Seto chuckled gently as he pulled me up so we were facing each other, me on top, "Yeah, and it ain't your money" he murmured as he pulled me down for a passionate kiss. I moaned gently into the kiss as Seto's tongue wrestled with mine for dominance over the kiss. He won needless to say, and we would've probably have stayed like that for a while if a creek followed by a small cough hadn't disturbed us. Seto suddenly pushed me off whilst almost screaming, "Mokuba! What the hell!". I don't think he meant it, but Seto pushed me with such force that I fell off the edge of the bed and onto the floor with an "Oooff!". I winced as I fell on my backside, which was still sore from the activity in the woods the day before.

I heard Mokuba laugh, "Seto, that's no way to treat your boyfriend, throwing him on the floor!". I sat up slowly and saw Mokuba standing there giggling, while Seto leaned over and looked down at me sprawled on the floor. "Oh my god Matt, I'm so sorry!" he gushed.

"It's ok" I replied as I rubbed my eyes sleepily.

He turned back to look at Mokuba, "You! Why are you here? Why aren't you in bed?"

"It's 5:00am" Mokuba stated simply.

"And?" Seto asked, "Why are you up already? Am I the only one that's sleepy here?"

"Don't you remember Seto? It's my class's trip to the zoo today, we have to be at school by 6:00 to catch the bus, it's a 2 hour drive there" Mokuba replied.

Seto groaned, "Ah damn I forgot, sorry Mokuba, give me a minute and I'll take you there".

"It's ok" I said as I stood up, "I gotta go to work now anyway, let me just get dressed and I'll walk you there on the way to the hospital".

"Ok" Mokuba said, "I'll wait downstairs". He left the room.

Fumbling around in the dark for my clothes, I could sense someone watching me. I turned to the bed and saw Seto watching me, his blue eyes twinkling in the minimal light. "Thanks" he said quietly.

"That's ok" I replied as I pulled off the t-shirt and shorts Seto had lent me for the night.

I heard Seto sigh before he said "It's times like this that I wonder how I'll cope when this one comes along".

Pulling my tunic on, I turned to look at him again as I zipped it up. He was looking down at his stomach, gently running one hand over the area. As I pulled on the rest of my clothing I replied, "You'll be fine, stop worrying".

"Will I be fine though?" Seto asked looking up at me again, "In between the twins and Mokuba and everything else I dunno where this one's gonna fit in".

I sighed as I sat down on the edge of the bed and put my hand over his, "You will be ok," I stated simply, "Mokuba probably doesn't need you as much as you might think, and the twins are getting older too. Plus it's not like you're doing this all on your own, I'm here…", I stopped when in the minimal light I saw a single tear fall down Seto's cheek, "Oh Seto…come here", I opened my arms to hug him and he sat up and returned the hug, "You're gonna be fine, we're gonna be fine, just stop worrying". I pulled back and wiped the tear away from Seto's cheek before leaning to place a gentle kiss on his lips. "Anyway, I gotta go, see you later" I said as I tried to stand up, but Seto held onto me. I looked back at him and saw that he was smirking again. "Seto? What are you doing? I need to go" I repeated as I tried again to stand up. Seto's arms tightened around me as he lay back down, pulling with him.

He chuckled before saying, "What if I don't let you go? What if keep you here all day with me?". He took my lips again and pushed his tongue in, running it over mine. I let out a small moan before pulling back and replying, "Well I'd say 'tough'! Cause much as I'd love to stay here with you, there's plenty of other people that need my help right now, and they ain't gonna wait!". He stayed silent and I took this opportunity to wriggle out of his arms and stand up before he could grab me again. "So, I'll see you later, any problems, call me" I said as I walked to the door.

"Bye" Seto replied sulkily as he snuggled back into the blankets.

As I went downstairs, I started to wonder what I'd find when I got to he hospital. Would Joey be ok? Would there be any more news on what had happened before we found him in that alley? I saw Mokuba by the front door, hopping about impatiently. "All set?" I asked.

"Yeap! Lets go!" he replied chirpily as he opened he front door and ran out, me following him.

"Someone's keen" I muttered. He didn't hear me though as he bounced ahead down the road. I watched him and smiled. It was amazing how despite everything that had happened to him and his brother, he still managed to stay upbeat and not let anything get him down. He turned and realising he'd left me behind, stopped until I caught up. "Come on Matt, lets go, it's almost half past!" he said jumping up and down impatiently.

"Alright alright, that's plenty of time" I replied.

He smiled back and replied, "Yeah I know, but I just wanna get there early".

"Oh yeah" I said, as we continued walking, "Teacher's pet are we?"

"Nooooo!" Mokuba replied. He blushed slightly as he continued, "It's just I said I'd meet up with someone before we left on the bus"

"Oh reeeeally! Is this certain someone a girl?" I asked, smiling knowingly as Mokuba blushed even more.

"Um, yeah" He muttered quietly, "Please don't tell Seto!"

I frowned slightly at this remark, "Why not?".

"I dunno, he might say that I'm too young for that kind of stuff or something" Mokuba said looking down at the ground.

I rolled my eyes and chuckled, "I don't think Seto will mind, I reckon as long you're keeping it legal he'll be perfectly ok about it".

"You think?" Mokuba asked looking up at me with wide eyes.

"I do" I replied nodding. I looked up and saw that we were at the road near the school. Looking down the street, I could see the bus waiting outside with a small group of kids and a teacher bustling about around it. However, waiting just a little away from the group, was a girl. She had long blonde hair and from what I could see at that distance was very pretty. When she spotted me and Mokuba she jumped up and down and started waving.

"That her?" I asked. I looked down and saw Mokuba smiling and waving back.

"Yeap" he replied chirpily.

"Well don't keep her waiting, you sure you got everything?"

"Mmmhmm" he mumbled not really listening, too taken with the girl waving.

"Bye then" I said, starting to walk away.

He stopped waving and looked at me, "Wait!"

I turned around and was met by Mokuba jumping up to give me a hug.

"Bye!" he said as I wobbled trying to keep my balance.

"Bye, have fun" I said as I lowered him back to the ground.

He ran off to join the girl, and they then joined the group surrounding the bus. I smiled again as I continued on my way to the hospital.

Mokuba's POV

"Hi Ishka!" I said breathlessly as I reached her.

"Hey Mokuba" she replied, "How are you?"

"I'm good you?" I said as I caught my breath.

"Yeah I'm fine, kinda tired. Who was that?" she asked, pointing in the direction of where me and Matt had been.

"Oh, that was Matt" I replied.

Ishka frowned, "And he is?"

"Oh, right, he's um…a friend of Setos" I said, hoping she wouldn't notice the hesitation in my answer.

"Oh cool, so, you all set for today?" she asked.

"Sure am!" I replied, "Should be fun, I've never been to this zoo before"

"Me neither" she said.

"Right come kids, time to start getting on the bus" Mrs Bishop called.

I looked at Ishka, "Guess we better go then".

"Yeap" she replied. We both started to head to the bus. "Hey Mokuba?" she asked.

"Yeah?" I answered.

"Can I sit next to you on the bus?" she asked biting her lip just slightly.

"Sure!" I gushed. I smiled and then looked away as I felt a blush come to my cheeks.

Matt's POV

The smile stayed on my face as I continued on my way to the hospital. I was glad that Mokuba was happy again. He'd was pretty upbeat most of the time, but I know that when Seto had said he wanted a termination, it had affected Mokuba badly because he blamed himself for that decision. Luckily though, Seto was having the baby so that issue had been resolved.

I reached the hospital a few minutes later, and despite it being early, there was still plenty going on. After clocking in, I headed down to the ICU and soon found Dr Patrick.

"Morning" he said sleepily, I don't think he'd gone home since I'd seen him yesterday.

"Morning" I replied. I took a deep breath in anticipation, "So…? Any news?"

Dr Patrick looked at me and nodded gravely. "You'd better come with me" he said. I followed him down the corridor to where Joey's room was. We stopped outside the door and he turned towards me. "We did an internal exam to see if we could find out what had caused the miscarriage and the bleeding" he said quietly, not looking me in the eye.

"And?" I asked, not sure I wanted to hear the answer.

"We concluded that the cause was rape. We found traces of semen that didn't match Joey's DNA, plus evidence of internal scarring…possibly from previous rapes" Dr Patrick finished, finally looking me in the eye.

I didn't reply straight away as shock took over slightly. I don't why I was shocked, it was hardly a surprise to be hearing this. After a couple of minutes, I asked, "Is he any better than he was yesterday?".

Dr Patrick nodded, "His heart rate recovered and stabilized during the night, so he's well on the way to recovery, but he's still unconscious."

"Ok, well I'll go in and see how he's doing, you look like you could do with some sleep" I replied slowly, coming back to reality.

"Sure could, 14 hours working straight is too much for anybody" he replied, smiling for the first time since I'd seen him today.

I smiled back, "Well I'll see you later".

"See you" he replied walking away.

Taking a deep breath I opened the door and walked into the room. It looked much the same as yesterday, except all the blood had been cleaned away. I went over to the bed and checked that all the tubes were still attached ok, and whether any of the fluid bags needed changing. As I was checking the syringe in his hand, I heard a groan. Looking up, I saw Joey moving his head like one does when they're waking up. His eyes flickered open and narrowed as the harsh bright hospital lights hit them. Once they were accustomed, they looked around the room and settled on me. A look of confusion covered his face. His hand moved up and tried to pull away the oxygen mask on his face. I reached over and gently took it off. Joey took a deep breath and tried to sit up. I put my hands on his shoulders and pushed him back down. "No" I said, "You need to rest". He reluctantly lay back down and looked at me again. Groaning again he scratched his head and croaked, "What happened to me?"

I looked back up at him, "Can't you remember anything that happened yesterday?".

I could see he was thinking hard. "Well…I remember waking up in my bed, then getting undressed and realising I was bleeding from…you know…down there"

"Anything else?" I asked

"Yeah" he replied, "I tried to phone someone, but the phone was broken…so I decided to run here…but I can't quite remember what happened after that".

I checked once more that everything was in place, and then sat on the edge of the bed. "But, can you remember anything before you woke up, can you remember what caused you to bleed?" I asked.

Joey frowned as he tried to remember. He looked at me and shook his head, "No I can't think of anything that mighta caused it, maybe something inside just ruptured…?", he looked at me questioningly.

"You're kinda right…tell you what, let me page Isis and she'll come talk to you" I said standing up and walking out the room before Joey could say anything else. Once outside I leaned against the door and took a deep breath. That had been a close one! I don't think I had the strength within me to tell Joey exactly what had happened to him. Especially if he couldn't even remember why it happened. I reached into my pocket, pulled out my pager and sent a message to Isis. Within a couple of minutes she was with me outside the room.

"Hey" she said, "How he's doing?"

"Ok, but he's just woken up and started asking what happened to him. He said he can't remember much, just that he started bleeding, he can't remember why" I replied.

"Hmmm" Isis hummed, "This is gonna be tricky. I spoke to Dr Patrick earlier who said that the internal exam had confirmed rape as the cause of the miscarriage and bleeding."

"Yeah I spoke to him earlier when I first came in" I replied, "But I don't think he bargained on Joey waking up so soon, and what he'd say when he did"

Isis looked at the door nervously. "Well, I guess we'll just have to break it to him gently, if that's possible…"

"Yeah…" I replied, "But what are we supposed to say? You got raped and had a miscarriage…do you think Joey even knew he was pregnant?"

Isis shook her head slowly, "Doubt it, if he did, surely that would've been the first thing he'd ask about when he woke up".

I nodded in agreement, "You're probably right…but in that case, do you think we should tell him?"

She appeared to consider this for a moment before saying, "No, we have to tell him, it'll be hard, and it'll take a while to sink in, he might not even believe us straight away! But we still have to tell him exactly what's happened".

"Ok" I replied. Taking a deep breath I said, "Right, lets get it over with shall we?"

Isis nodded and opened the door…
