Wassup guys! hope u guys are having a nice weekend! uh, i have nothing to say..oh wait...in case you guys were wondering, Mokuba in the same resturant with his brother was entirely coincidental, i apoligize for not making it clear in the previous chapter, anyways! Here's Hello Again.

DIZCLAIMER: meh, to lazy to say it...

THEY RETURNED HOME, and Shizuka kept wondering if she did something wrong. She apologized, didn't she? What did she do? Why was Kaiba not talking to her this time?

She watched Kaiba suddenly stop a few feet in front of her. What was going through his head? Shizuka raised her hand and was about to reach for Kaiba, but he abruptly turned around and said, "What is this?" he asked.

Shizuka didn't understand, "I don't know what you mean,"

"This," he said, he grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest, "It hurts sometimes," he said.

She still didn't understand, "Uh…maybe you should go to the doctor, Mr. Kaiba?" Shizuka said uncertainly (LOL!)

"Never mind," he said and he let her go, and he headed upstairs.

Once Kaiba went into his room he immediately removed his suit and changed into his sleepwear. He lay on his bed and stared at the ceiling.

He placed his hand over his chest again; his heart was still beating fast. But he felt like he was hurting, he couldn't place his finger where, yet he felt like the pain was somewhere near his chest.

Could he be suffering from a heart attack? No, that couldn't be he somehow knew it wasn't serious. Or at least he hoped it wasn't.

Shizuka…Shizuka…

Somehow, she makes him feel better. Kaiba closed his eyes his mind only immersing of memories spent with Shizuka…and even…even the time when he touched her. When he first placed his hands on her soft bare skin…why was he thinking about that?

Kaiba made his mind wander into other things….things like what he needed to be done tomorrow. Yet his mind kept coming back to her…and that's when he felt the pain.

Kaiba opened his eyes and sighed, he wasn't going to sleep tonight, was he?

MEAHWHILES..

Shizuka was already lying in bed and thinking about what Kaiba suddenly said to her, "What is this? This…it hurts sometimes…"

Was he talking about this heart? Could Kaiba be saying that he's having romantic feelings for her? Or is he feeling remorse for all the times he treated her unkindly?

It's probably remorse, guilt…that was probably it. After all, Kaiba only sees her as a friend, right?

Like Anzu said, Shizuka shouldn't get her hopes up. She learned her lesson, or…at least she hoped she did.

"Goodnight, my little ones," Shizuka whispered and went to sleep.

LATERS…

A few weeks pasted and Shizuka received a special surprise. Yugi, Anzu and their newborn arrived.

Shizuka was so excited; she never got the chance to hold the baby.

"Hello there," Shizuka whispered as Anzu handed her the newborn.

"What's his name?" Shizuka asked, Yugi laughed, "I thought it'd be obvious, Shizuka," he said.

"We decided to name him, Atem," Anzu said, smiling. "Atem?" Shizuka repeated, "Like the other Yugi?"

They both nodded, "If Atem were looking down upon us, I'd think he would be happy that we named our child after him," Yugi said( do you guys like that? Having their child named after the pharaoh?)

Shizuka suddenly started laughing, "He's trying to get milk from me!" She said as she watched baby Atem rub his small head on Shizuka's chest.

Anzu laughed, "Yeah, he won't stop eating," She held out her arms and Shizuka handed the child over to his mother.

"Atem's a growing baby, isn't he?" Anzu cooed at her son, "He wants to grow big and strong already!"

Anzu sat on the sofa and reached into her baby bag and grabbed a bottle and feed it to Atem.

"So how you've been?" Yugi asked as he smiled upon his son eagerly drinking the formula (BABIES! I LOVE BABIES! THERE SO CUTE! Sorry for my spaz moment!)

Shizuka shrugged, "Fine, I guess," she said.

"How's Kaiba treating you?" Anzu said with a hint of detest in her voice.

"Fine," Shizuka repeated lightly. "Hmmph," Anzu said, "He better," she muttered.

"So, we were wondering Shizuka…" Yugi began; he looked shyly at the floor, "If you would like to babysit Atem? We…uh, we find ourselves so busy with the card shop and everything…but if you can't…"

Shizuka's eyes lit up, "Of course, Yugi! I would be happy to babysit Atem!" Shizuka said happily.

Anzu's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Shizuka! I feel so ashamed for asking this," She said.

"Um, Kaiba won't get mad at you, will he?" Yugi asked.

Again, Shizuka shrugged, "Sometimes he lets me do what I want…sometimes he doesn't. I don't understand him," she said, at that comment, Anzu narrowed her eyes but then she looked back at feeding Atem.

Yugi laughed, "I apologize for all the men in this world…we're sometimes hard to understand. We're like a puzzle,"

Shizuka laughed, "Maybe you can help me with it, seeing you put one together before!"

Yugi laughed(ha! Get it guys?! Get it?! Ok, I'll shut up) "Sure! Anytime!"

So they began to leave, But before they left Anzu repeated several times on how to take care of Atem, "He likes his milk to be warm when he wants to sleep. But when he's awake and playful, he can take it room temperature! Oh! And be sure to call me every few hours or so….or you know what? I'll call you, ok? And if Atem cries when he's trying to sleep, give him his Kuriboh plushie…for some reason he likes that…it keeps him calm. Uh…what else? What else? Yugi, am I forgetting anything?" She turned to her husband.

Yugi shrugged, "No, I think that's everything…oh! Here's my cell if you need anything,"

Shizuka laughed, "But I already know your cell phone by heart, Yugi." She said.

Yugi sweat dropped, "Right…well, I guess that's everything,"

And after a billion goodbyes(really, because Anzu would repeat her instructions to Shizuka a billion times and then say goodbye and then would come back and repeat something else,).

After the were gone(this time, they really were gone)Shizuka squealed in joy, "Awww! Atem you're sooo cute!" she hugged the baby.

The baby only stared at her in puzzlement, like he was saying "Who the heck are you?"

Roland came in the living room and noticed Shizuka's little (temporay) bundle of joy.

"Atem! Look who it is! This is Roland! Say hi to Roland!" She said, She positioned the baby as if he were sitting on her arm, while her other arm was wrapped around Atem's small chest. Atem's eyes widen in surprise and then he began to look around the room curiously, as if he suddenly noticed he wasn't in his home(GYAH! BABIES!).

Roland coughed uncomfortable and said, "I don't think that would be necessary, Miss Shizuka."

"But he needs to know who you are or Atem will be scared," Shizuka explained.

"Uh, I don't think the child will ever be scared, if anything, he is an extremely curious child," Roland said.

Shizuka looked down and saw Atem's eyes staring intently at the coffee table (coffee tables look so amazing to a baby. CUTENESSS!).

His eyes began to look from left to right, up and down, his curiosity taking over to him; Kaiba's living room has become some magical place in the world. Filled with many new things Atem hasn't seen in his few weeks of life.

Shizuka laughed, "He's so cute! Roland, do you think Mr. Kaiba would be made because Atem is here?" she asked.

Roland shook his head, "I don't believe so, Miss Shizuka. Although many fear Mr. Kaiba, many people do not realize that Kaiba has a soft spot for children. He is the CEO of a toy company" he explained(OMR! Did anyone aver realize that Kaiba's a really scary dude amongst business but he owns a toy company? Doesn't anyone find this FUNNY?! I do!).

Shizuka nodded, remembering Kaiba signing a duel monster card for a small child, she smiled upon the memory.

"You're right, I was silly for thinking that," Shizuka said, he's going to be a great father to the twins, she thought.

Shizuka noticed that there weren't any decorations of the holidays that were coming, November was almost over.

She began to swing Atem up and down gently, "Roland, why aren't there any decorations in the mansion?" she asked.

"There used to be decorations but Mr. Kaiba has banned us from doing anything of the sort…" he said.

Shizuka nodded in understanding, so Kaiba had stopped decorating the mansion since the departure of his brother.

She smiled and said, "I'm going to take Atem up in my room! I think it would be best to take care of him there...Come on, Atem! Let's go to my room! Where you'll see lots of new things!"

Then Atem started to coo and swing his tiny arms at the coffee table,(yeah, I know Atem, coffee tables are amazing).

"What is it, Atem? You're curious about the coffee table?" Shizuka asked. Atem continued to coo, "Oh I see," Shizuka said, "You haven't seen a coffee table like this one before,"

Atem cooed and cooed, Shizuka nodded, "And you think this small table is made for a little guy like you, huh?" Atem suddenly stopped cooing and stared at the table.

Roland had a puzzled look on his face, how the heck did she get all that just by the infant cooing?

"Yes, I agree too, it's not fair for us adult to have such a huge table while the little guys like you get nothing," Shizuka said.

She smiled and took Atem to her room, along with Atem's things Anzu left for him.

LATERS…

Kaiba came home tired from work, which was odd, he felt like he didn't do much. His mind only kept going back to what Shizuka said yesterday, "Promise…promise not to let me go,"

Why did he lie and said yes? They both knew that that's never going to happen. Why was Shizuka making this so difficult?

He walked along the hallway and heard Shizuka laughing. Wait a sec…

Who could be making Shizuka laugh? Kaiba suddenly felt so angry…he wanted to chop whoever's making Shizuka laugh. Nobody, nobody, hears Shizuka laugh or smile but him! Kaiba was a dragon wanted flesh and blood of that person.

He stormed into Shizuka's room. His eyes widen in surprise when he found Shizuka with a baby.

"Mr. Kaiba?" Shizuka said in surprise, "How was work?"

But Kaiba wasn't paying attention; he was looking on the baby on Shizuka's bed, the baby lying on his tummy, suckling on his small fist (CUTeNESs! GAAAAAHHH!).

"Where did you get that baby?" Kaiba asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Shizuka laughed, and she picked up Atem and turned the baby to face him, "Mr. Kaiba, meet Atem! He's Yugi and Anzu's son!"

The baby legs were kicking and looking at the bed.

"Why is Yugi's kid here?" Kaiba asked.

"I was asked to babysit!" Shizuka said cheerfully, then her smile wiped off, "Is that a problem?" she asked.

Kaiba didn't say anything for a few moments, he watched how Yugi's child still suckling on his fist and staring down on the bed. He then looked at Shizuka, whose stomach had grown a lot in such a short amount of time. Kaiba felt like he lost in some battle. Yugi beat him, again.

"Mr. Kaiba?" Shizuka said softly. Shizuka held the infant close to her, in case Kaiba decided to do something drastic.

"How long is he staying here?" Kaiba suddenly asked,

"Untill 6 o' clock today, Yugi will pick him up," Shizuka explained (he wasn't going to do something EVIL to the child, was he?).

"Why…why didn't you call?" Kaiba said suddenly, "Why didn't you get MY permission to babysit this brat?!"

"He's not a brat! And I don't need your permission for anything!" Shizuka said.

"Yes you do!" Kaiba retorted, "This is MY home and you have to do everything that I say!"

Atem started cooing, "Yes?" Shizuka said looking at Atem; she saw Atem's eyes focused on Kaiba.

Atem started swinging his arms towards Kaiba and kept cooing, he seemed to notice another voice in the room. When he saw a new person standing there, Atem became fascinated.

Shizuka laughed at Atem's curious face, he seemed to be saying, "And who are you? How did you get here?"

"You such a curious young man!" Shizuka said at the baby, who was still staring at Kaiba like he was the amazing coffee table downstairs (yes, that coffee table is still amazing to Atem). "This is Mr. Kaiba," Shizuka said, "Say 'hello' to Mr. Kaiba, Atem."

Atem started to coo nonstop, but still staring at Kaiba. Kaiba was confused, he had no idea what's going on.

"What's going on? What's wrong with him?" Kaiba demanded.

Atem kept cooing and cooing and Shizuka kept nodding as if she understood everything he was saying.

"He's talking to you," Shizuka explained, "Act like you're talking to him,"

Kaiba didn't understand, how the heck was he going to pretend he was talking to an infant?

"That's very interesting," Shizuka said, helping Kaiba out, "Go on with your story,"

Kaiba found himself sitting on Shizuka's bed and staring at the infant babble, "Hmm," Kaiba said.

He felt silly doing this, was he going to be doing this with his kids? Is this what is expected of spending time with a child? Kaiba suddenly realized how ignorant he was in taking care of infants, he only took care of Mokuba…or maybe he didn't raise Mokuba like he thought he had, after all, when his parents died, Mokuba was old enough to do many things by himself.

"Fascinating," Kaiba said, "Very good story…and then?" Atem stopped cooing and stared at Kaiba.

Kaiba smiled, "Why did you stop?" Kaiba said laughing.

"Yes, you left us in a cliffhanger, Atem. Tell us what happened." Shizuka said.

"Did I scare you?" Kaiba said.

Atem reached his tiny arms towards Kaiba, "Aww, ok. Now I see," Shizuka said, she turned to Kaiba, "Mr. Kaiba would you like to hold Atem?"

At this, Kaiba slightly panicked, hold a child? As in, holding an actual infant?

"Can…can I do that?" he blurted out,

Shizuka smiled, "Yes you can, Mr. Kaiba," She handed the baby to Kaiba, "Keep his head on your arm," Shizuka instructed, and Kaiba did so.

He felt a little nervous; he hasn't held a child in a long time. He hoped he didn't drop the child. He noticed how fragile and small an infant felt in his arms, was this how his children were going to be like?

If so, Kaiba probably wouldn't want to hold them, he would be constantly worried about dropping them or hurting them by accident (although I love babies, I still have this fear every time I hold one)

Atem's eyes were locked on Kaiba still curious to know how the man holding him was. Or maybe he thought that Kaiba was his father.

"Hello," Kaiba said uncertainly, "So you're Yugi's kid, huh?" he was suddenly gaining confidence as he got used to holding the baby, "So you'll be dueling and following your father's footsteps?" Kaiba found himself smirking, "Let me give you a spoiler alert…"

He placed Atem's bottom on his arms like a seat and wrapped his arm around Atem's tiny chest, he faced Atem towards Shizuka and said, "You see that?" Kaiba said, "You see that woman's stomach? Inside of her are my kids…they are going to come soon. And they will both grow up and follow my footsteps…and they will both defeat you in a duel. And they will become the best, just like their father."

Shizuka had no idea if this was the right thing to say to an infant, she suddenly felt the room go cold because of Kaiba's ego.

"Uh, Mr. Kaiba?" Shizuka said softly.

Kaiba chuckled darkly and said, "What?"

"Can…can I have Atem back?" She said raising her arms for the infant.

Kaiba handed her the child, and Shizuka kissed Atem on his cheek.

Atem placed his fist once more into his mouth and began to coo. "Ah, and the story continues!" Shizuka said cheerfully.

Kaiba and Shizuka spent the whole afternoon taking care of Atem (it was hilarious, Kaiba suddenly saw Atem as a future enemy, even when Atem had no idea what was going on)until Yugi arrive to pick up his child.

"Oh, hello Kaiba!" Yugi said politely, "Sorry for all the trouble! I just couldn't find a baby sister at the last minute!"

Kaiba only grunted.

"Bye-bye, Atem!" Shizuka said, and she kissed Atem on his forehead.

After Yugi left, Shizuka realized how much fun she had taking care of Atem(really? Many moms are like quitting half-way through the day) especially when Kaiba was there to help.

She wanted to say it so badly to Kaiba, but she kept quiet. They make a good team, taking care of Atem; Shizuka wondered about her kids…she hoped with all her might that Kaiba would change his mind and keep her, along with the kids.

"I promise…" She remembered Kaiba saying yesterday. Would he keep his promise? Would he actually change his mind and keep her? Shizuka didn't want to leave Kaiba…she never wanted to leave Kaiba alone with the children.

Shizuka smiled and entered the mansion. She hoped for the best…she really hoped everything would turn out the way she wants it.

yeah, i know...cute wasn't it? i hope u guys understand were i'm going with this in this chapter.. in case you didn't it was kinda to get you guys to get the feel of what it would be like if Kaiba decided to keep SHizuka to raise the twins.
