And of course...when there's pregnancies, there's always false alarms. These kids came prepared.


Chapter 25: False Alarms

Back at home, Seto begrudgingly did a few chores around the house and even went over to his room to clean it up and the only way he knows how is to put some of the stuff in the closet and forget about it and soon enough, as he was cleaning, he noticed Mason coming in the room and he said, "What are you doing?"

"Cleaning my room." Seto replied.

Mason saw Seto's way of cleaning up the house and he shook his head at that and knew that this was the lazy way and he said, "Dude...you seriously need to do better than that."

"Like what? What's wrong with what I'm doing?" asked Seto, raising an eyebrow while piling up the closet.

Mason looked at the amount of dirty clothes and such piled nearly sky-high to the closet and said, "That's not gonna hold."

"Yeah, it will. This is how I do." Seto responded.

Once Seto placed a few more things in the closet, the piles immediately came down and created a much messier mess to his room and Mason looked at Seto like an 'I told you so' kind of look and Seto glared at him and said, "I'm gonna need a bigger closet."

"Or...you could wash them. They're like dirty and smells like wet dog." Mason added.

Marcus cleared his throat from behind because of the term wet dog and Mason turned around and saw a very annoyed Marcus folding his arms at that, assuming that he's referencing him and Mason said, "Not you, Marcus. Like...no offense."

"None taken, dude. Seto's room smells like a stink bomb went off and the remains of the smell stayed there for like 10,000 years." Marcus replied.

"10,000? Smells more like 100,000." Mason added.

Marcus laughed at that and so did Mason, but that really annoyed Seto a lot and he said, "I wear these clothes whenever I want to, okay?"

"Dude, you need some new clothes. And clean them." Mason added.

Seto rolled his eyes at this and grumbled as he picked up some of the clothes and Yuki came in the room and said, "Seto, when's the last time you cleaned this place?"

"What is this; an anarchy of people telling me my room stinks?" asked Seto.

"To say your room stinks is an understatement." Yuki responded.

Soon enough, they heard their mother scream in sharp pain and they figure that she's in trouble, so they immediately sprinted over to their mother's room alongside the younger kids and as soon as they entered in the room, they were completely certain that the babies are gonna be born any minute. Yuki immediately said, "Mason, you and Marcus get some warm wet towels. Seto, boil some water! Sapphire, you, Jason, Serenity and Kaiba make sure that mom's okay."

While each of them did the task, Yuki stayed right by her mother's side and as did the younger ones and Kaiba said, "Are you gonna have the baby now?"

"Hold my hand, Kaiba!" Saori screamed.

Kaiba grabbed ahold of his mother's hand and once she held it, Kaiba felt a very strong grip that feels like it could swell and Kaiba yowled in pain after that and some of the kids were panicking a little because they don't know what's going on and Maximus II was worried for his mother and just under 5 minutes, the pain stopped and Saori sighed in relief and said, "False alarm."

"False alarm again?" asked Yuki.

"Yes. I'm sorry." Saori replied.

Yuki gave her mom a kiss and she said, "It's okay."

"But I'm glad you guys were well-prepared." Saori added.

Just then, Mason, Marcus and Seto got back to check on her and soon enough, Yuki told them that it was just a false alarm and all three were relieved, though Seto was completely annoyed by that and he said, "Seriously? I boiled some water for nothing?"

"You were well prepared, Seto." Saori added.

Seto sighed at that and despite the compliment about that, he said, "Let me know if the baby really comes out."

Saori glared at her son and he said, "You know how long I've spent in labor with you? 39 hours."

"39 hours?" asked the siblings.

"Yes. I felt like you would never come out." Saori added.

Mason was pretty interested to hear this and so did Yuki and she said, "I wanna hear this story."


Wow...39 hours that Saori was in labor with Seto? That's a long time. Stay tuned for more!
