Here's the next chapter.
I wasn't sure I'd get this done, but I did, so that's two stories updated in one day.
Enjoy!
Chapter 26- Congratulations, Daddies
Yugi was sitting in the living room of the Kaiba mansion. He was trying to figure out how he was going to tell Yami and Seto that he was pregnant. 'I wonder how they're going to react to this.' Yugi thought.
The front door opened and closed.
"I hate the board members!" Seto growled.
"Calm down, Seto. It's not as bad as it seems." Yami said.
Yami had taken to helping Seto out recently since he did have a degree in accounting.
"Not that bad! They're suggesting something that is completely ridiculous!" Seto said.
"Well, you can't exactly stop them from this." Yami said.
"I know. That's what pisses me off so much!" Seto snapped. He then walked into the living room. "Hi, Yugi." Seto said.
"Hi. What's going on?" Yugi asked.
"The board wants to make some major changes to the way KaibaCorp is run." Yami answered.
"That doesn't mean that you have to make the changes, does it, Seto?" Yugi asked.
"No, but it does mean that I have to listen to these idiots. They don't have to deal with business at my company on a day-to-day basis. They don't know a damn thing about how to run a company! I do!" Seto growled.
Yugi placed a hand on Seto's shoulder. "Don't worry, Seto. You'll figure a way out of this. You always do." Yugi said.
"I hope so." Seto said.
Yami rolled his eyes. "Seto, all you have to do is listen to what they say. You don't actually have to do what they say." Yami said.
"Yeah. I know." Seto said.
Yugi wondered if now would be a good time to tell them about the baby.
Yami smiled. "At least you have time to figure it out." Yami said.
"Yeah. You know, I think that it's a good idea that we decided not to have kids now. I don't know that I could handle having a kid and dealing with these idiots right now." Seto said.
Yugi immediately froze at those words.
"Yeah. Neither one of us would be able to get much sleep. Besides, we need to take the time to enjoy each other." Yami agreed.
"Yeah. Atemu and Heba decided to have them early. We were the smarter ones." Seto said.
"Right." Yugi said, managing to hide his pain.
While Yami and Seto were busy in the office at the house, Yugi was lying on the bed.
'What do I do? Seto and Yami think that this is a bad time to have kids, but I'm already pregnant. What do I do? What if they don't want the baby now?' Yugi thought.
Yugi had all these different thoughts going through his mind as he lay there. He was upset over this, and he knew that all this stress was not good on him or the baby.
Yugi suddenly sat up. 'I need to talk to Heba.' Yugi thought. He stood up and headed downstairs.
"Hey, Yugi. Where are you going?" Mokuba asked from the living room.
"Well, Yami and Seto are in the office dealing with stuff from KaibaCorp right now, so I'm going over to see Heba for a little while." Yugi replied.
"Okay. I'll let Seto and Yami know if they ask." Mokuba said.
"Thanks." Yugi said. He left, hoping that Mokuba hadn't seen how upset he really was.
Mokuba frowned. 'Yugi looked upset. I wonder what's going on.' Mokuba thought.
Heba was sitting in the kitchen feeding Kathryn while Atemu was feeding Hayden.
"Well, once we get them fed, we can actually eat." Atemu said.
"Come on, Seto. It's not that bad." Heba said.
"I know, and I don't mind. Our girls come first." Atemu said.
"Yes. They do." Heba agreed.
Both heard the front door open.
"Heba, are you here?" Yugi caked.
"In the kitchen." Heba called.
Yugi walked into the kitchen and found Atemu and Heba feeding the twins. "Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt." Yugi said.
"It's okay, Yugi. What's up?" Heba asked.
Yugi was hesitant to talk at the moment.
"Should I leave?" Atemu asked.
"Well, I don't know." Yugi said as he sat down.
Heba could easily tell that his brother was upset about something. "Out with it, Yugi. What's wrong?" Heba asked.
Yugi sighed. "I'm pregnant." Yugi said.
"You are?" Atemu asked, rather shocked.
Yugi nodded. "I just found out today." Yugi said.
"That's good, isn't it?" Heba asked.
"I don't know." Yugi said.
Atemu frowned. "Yugi, do Seto and Yami know that you're pregnant?" Atemu asked.
"No. Not yet." Yugi said.
Heba and Atemu could both sense that whatever was bothering Yugi had something to do with Seto and Yami. "I think I'll go lay the girls down." Atemu said.
"Right." Heba said.
Atemu took Kathryn from Heba and headed upstairs.
"Yugi, what happened when you told them?" Heba asked.
"I didn't tell them." Yugi said.
"Why not?" Heba asked.
"Well, when Seto and Yami got home, Seto was pretty upset because of some things that were going on at work. He mentioned that he was glad that we didn't have kids yet because of everything that was going on, and Yami said that it was good we didn't have kids because we would have more time together, and I didn't tell them." Yugi said, covering his face with his hands.
"Yugi." Heba said sympathetically.
Yugi looked up at Heba with tears in his eyes. "What am I going to do, Heba? Yami and Seto don't think that now is a good time for us to have kids, but I'm already pregnant. What can I do? What if Yami and Seto don't want kids yet? What if they feel that this is a bad time? What if they get upset? What do I do?" Yugi asked.
Heba reached over and pulled Yugi into a hug. "Calm down, Yugi. It's okay." Heba said.
"No, it's not. I don't know what I am going to do if Yami and Seto don't want this baby." Yugi said.
"Yugi, I don't think that that will happen. It may be unexpected, but I don't think that Seto and Yami are going to do be mad about this." Heba said.
"I don't, Heba. I'm just so afraid that they are not going to want kids now." Yugi said.
"Yugi, can I make a suggestion?" Atemu asked.
Yugi and Heba looked up to see Atemu standing at the bottom of the stairs.
"What is it?" Yugi asked.
"Tell Yami and Seto. I'm sire that if they knew you were pregnant, they won't mind so much. The sooner you talk to them, the better. After all, all the stress you're under can't be good." Atemu said.
"I know. Dr. Reynolds told me that I probably lost the last one because of all the stress, so this can't be good for me or the baby." Yugi said.
"Tell them." Atemu urged.
"What do I do if Yami and Seto don't want the baby?" Yugi asked.
"You call me so that I can come over and kick their asses." Atemu said.
"Atemu, be serious." Heba said.
"I am being serious. If they say one wrong thing, I'll kill them both." Atemu said.
Yugi smiled. "I appreciate the gesture, Atemu." Yugi said.
"I mean it." Atemu said.
"I don't doubt that you would, Atemu, but I don't think that you're going to need to worry about." Yugi said.
"Atemu does make a good point that you need to talk to them about this. Keeping this to yourself is not a good thing. You don't need to put yourself under too much stress." Heba said.
"I know. I'll go home and talk to them." Yugi said.
"That's good. You can call us if you need to." Atemu said.
"I know, and thanks." Yugi said.
Seto and Yami walked downstairs.
"Hey, Mokuba." Yami said.
"Hey. Did you figure out whatever is going on with the company yet?" Mokuba asked.
"Not yet." Yami said.
"Where's Yugi? He wasn't in our room." Seto said.
"Oh. He came down a little bit ago. He said that since you were busy in the office he was going to see Heba." Mokuba answered.
"He'll be gone a while." Yami said as he and Seto sat down on the couch.
"Hey. Is Yugi okay?" Mokuba asked.
"As far as we know, he is." Seto answered. He frowned. "Why?" Seto asked.
"Well, when he left, he just seemed kind of upset to me." Mokuba answered.
Yami and Seto looked at each other.
"He seemed fine when we got home." Yami said.
"I think you might want to talk to him when he gets back." Mokuba said before he got up and left the room.
Yami looked at Seto. "What do you think is wrong?" Yami asked.
"I don't know. We'll ask him when we get back." Seto said.
The front door opened and closed.
"And there he is." Seto said.
"Yugi, we're in the living room." Yami called.
Yugi walked in. "Is everything okay with the company?" Yugi asked.
"I'll work it out at some time." Seto said.
"Come here." Yami said.
Yugi walked over to them.
Yami grabbed Yugi by the wrist and pulled him into his lap. "What's going on with you, Yugi?" Yami asked.
Yugi blinked, surprised. "What are you talking about?" Yugi asked.
"Yugi, Mokuba told us that you went to see Heba, and he also said that you seemed upset when you left." Seto said.
"He did?" Yugi asked.
"Yes. Now, what's going on with you?" Yami asked.
"Well, I think there's something that we need to talk about, but can we go up to our room to talk about this?" Yugi asked.
"Sure." Seto said.
The three got up and headed up to their room.
Once in the room, Yami and Seto started in on him.
"What is going on, Yugi? Why were you upset?" Yami asked.
Yugi sighed. "Okay. Before I tell you, promise me that you won't get upset." Yugi said.
"We won't." Seto assured him.
"Okay. I haven't been feeling well the last few days so I went to see Dr. Reynolds today because I knew that you two would force me to go and see him if you knew I was sick. Anyway, Dr. Reynolds ran some tests and he found out that I'm pregnant." Yugi said.
Seto and Yami both froze at that revelation.
The next few moments were very quiet.
Yugi began to get worried when neither of his lovers made any movement or sound. "Um, Yami. Seto. Are you okay?" Yugi asked.
Meanwhile, Yami and Seto both had the exact same thought going though their minds.
'Pregnant?'
Seto swallowed. "Is he sure?" Seto asked.
"Positive." Yugi answered.
Yami and Seto promptly fainted.
Yugi winced at the crash. He looked at his unconscious lovers and sighed. "Well, that could have gone better." Yugi said.
The door then opened.
Mokuba walked in and said, "Hey, Yugi." He looked down and saw Seto and Yami unconscious on the floor. "Is that the crash I heard?" Mokuba asked.
"Yeah. I told them that I'm pregnant, and they faint." Yugi said.
Mokuba looked at his friend wide-eyed. "You're pregnant!" Mokuba exclaimed.
Yugi nodded,
Mokuba jumped right over Yami and Seto and hugged Yugi. "This is great! I'm going to be an uncle!" Mokuba exclaimed.
Yugi laughed lightly. "I take it that you're excited." Yugi said.
"Am I ever?! I didn't think that I would ever be an uncle, and now I am!" Mokuba said.
"At least I know someone's happy." Yugi said.
Mokuba let go of Yugi. "Are Seto and Yami not happy about this?" Mokuba asked.
"I don't know yet. They were saying earlier that we didn't need kids yet, and they both went into shock when I told them before they fainted. I have no idea what they really think." Yugi replied.
Mokuba looked down at his brother and Yami. "Well, maybe we should try and wake them up." Mokuba suggested.
"Any suggestions?" Yugi asked.
A devious smirk appeared on Mokuba's face. "Don't worry, Yugi. I'll get them up." Mokuba said before he ran into the bathroom.
Yugi raised an eyebrow. 'He has that look that Seto gets when he's about to do something tricky.' Yugi thought.
Mokuba returned a moment later wit a bowl of water.
"Mokuba, what are you doing with the water?" Yugi asked.
"Just this." Mokuba said before he tipped the water so that it fell right on Yami and Seto.
"AH!" Yami and Seto both exclaimed when the water hit them.
"What the hell was that for?! That was water as ice cold!" Seto shouted.
Mokuba started laughing. "Well, we needed to wake you up, so I figured pouring cold water on you was the easiest way to." Mokuba said.
Yami glared at Mokuba. "Mokuba, you have ten seconds to get out of here before I get my hands on you." Yami growled.
Mokuba smiled before heading for the door. "Oh, and congratulations on the baby, daddy." Mokuba said before darting out the door, shutting the door behind him.
Realizing that they had something more important to deal with than Mokuba's prank, Yami and Seto turned their attention back to Yugi only to find him gone.
"Yugi?" Yami asked.
"What?" Yugi asked, walking out of the bathroom with a couple of towels in his hands.
"What were you doing?" Seto asked.
"Well, you two are dripping water all over the floor, so I thought I would get you some towels." Yugi answered as he handed a towel to each of them.
"Thanks." Yami said.
"Now, what's this about you being pregnant?" Seto asked.
Yugi rolled his eyes. "I don't need to explain the term, do I?" Yugi asked.
Seto glared at him. "No. When did it happen?" Seto asked.
"Sometime during the Paris trip." Yugi said.
"Paris?!" Yami and Seto exclaimed at the same time.
"Yes. Paris." Yugi answered.
"How do you know?" Seto asked.
"Because I'm about six weeks along, and that's how long ago we were in Paris." Yugi answered.
"Oh." Seto said.
Yugi looked at each of them nervously. "Um, are you two okay with this?" Yugi asked.
Yami and Seto both looked at him in confusion.
"What are you talking about?" Yami asked.
"Well, you both were saying earlier that you thought we didn't need kids yet, so-" Yugi trialed off.
"Did you think we'd be angry?" Seto asked.
"Well-" Yugi said, rubbing the back of his head.
That was answer enough.
Yami and Seto both walked over to Yugi.
"Yugi, we'd never be angry about something like this. Shocked and surprise, yes." Seto said.
"Yeah. Maybe we weren't planning it now, but we'll still are happy about this." Yami said.
"You are?" Yugi asked.
"Of course we are." Seto said. He thought a moment and said, "Is that why you went to see Heba?"
"Yeah. I wasn't how you two would react, so I went to him for advice." Yugi said.
"And what did he say?" Yami asked.
"Well, Atemu's the one that told me I just needed to go ahead and tell you about the pregnancy. It wasn't going to do me or the baby any good to have the stress of you two not knowing." Yugi said.
"That's true." Yami said.
"And Atemu threatened to come over here and kick your asses if you weren't happy about this." Yugi added.
Yami started laughing. "That sounds like Atemu all right." Yami said.
"Well, you don't have to worry. We're both happy about this." Seto said.
Yami and Seto both took the opportunity to kiss Yugi.
"I'm glad about that." Yugi said.
"Yugi, I think we need to talk to Dr. Reynolds again." Seto said.
"Why?" Yugi asked.
"Well, I don't want to dredge up bad memories, but you did lose that one baby and-" Seto started.
"I know, Seto." Yugi interrupted. "I already talked to Dr. Reynolds about that. He told me that there was a chance that that was just something that happened. He also said that I was under so much emotional stress with all that Bakura was pulling at the time that it probably contributed to it. Dr. Reynolds said that he'll keep a close eye on me, though," Yugi said.
"Well, that's good to know." Yami said.
"Yes, but it also means that we're keeping you as stress free as possible." Seto said.
"In other words, you two aren't going to let me life a finger, are you?" Yugi asked.
"Nope." Seto and Yami said at the same time.
"Just don't go overboard. It's not like I'm an invalid or something." Yugi said.
"Okay. We'll all talk to Dr. Reynolds, and he can explain some of the things you shouldn't do." Seto said.
"That'll be good." Yugi agreed.
"By the way, why'd you tell Mokuba?" Seto asked.
"Because he heard the crash when you two fainted and wanted to know what happened." Yugi said.
"Speaking of Mokuba, maybe we should get out of these clothes." Yami said, remembering that he and Seto were both soaked.
"I do need to get him for that." Seto agreed.
"Come on. He's a teenager who was having a little fun." Yugi said.
"And he's still in big trouble." Seto said.
Yugi shook his head.
Seto and Yami both got out of their wet clothes.
"You know, we could always-" Yami started, a smirk on his face.
"No." Yugi said.
"No?" Yami and Seto repeated.
"You heard me. No." Yugi said.
"Why not?" Yami asked.
"Because I don't particularly want to. Besides, dinner will be soon." Yugi said.
"Screw dinner." Seto said.
Yugi rolled his eyes. "You'd rather screw me." Yugi said.
"Yes, we would." Yami said.
"Well, not right now." Yugi said before he left the room.
"He's no fun right now." Yami said.
"No, but he'll be calling a lot of shots now that he's pregnant." Seto said.
"Our sex life is going to suffer, isn't it?" Yami asked.
"Probably." Seto agreed.
Both sighed, not enjoying the thought.
The following day, Yami had decided to stay home from work.
"Yami, you didn't have to stay home simply because you and Seto found out that I'm pregnant." Yugi said, not looking up from his laptop.
"I know, but I wanted to." Yami said.
Yugi sighed. "You two aren't leaving me alone, are you?" Yugi asked.
"No." Yami answered. He looked at Yugi curiously. "What are you working on?" Yami asked.
"The next children's book in the series." Yugi said.
"Should you be doing that now?" Yami asked.
"Yami, this isn't stressful. I enjoy this. I can't put everything on hold because I'm pregnant." Yugi said.
"I suppose so." Yami agreed. He thought a moment before he said, "How far have you gotten?"
"This will end Duelist Kingdom." Yugi said.
"And then on to Battle City." Yami said.
"Well, I'm using a different name for the tournament, but the same basic thing, yeah." Yugi said.
"I wasn't sure that the children's book think would take off, but it has." Yami said.
"I know." Yugi said.
"YOU'RE PREGNANT!" Joey exclaimed.
Yugi, Yami, Seto, and Mokuba all winced at the loud shout.
"Yes, Joey. I'm pregnant. I just found out." Yugi answered.
"That's good. Congratulations, guys." Tristan said.
"Thanks." Yami said.
"Well, I'd say that that kid's going to be spoiled rotten." Joey said.
"Why's that?" Seto asked.
"Because you have enough money to buy it a whole country if you wanted to." Joey replied.
Yugi rolled his eyes. "Joey, just because Seto has a lot of money doesn't mean that we're going to spoil the baby rotten." Yugi said.
"Yeah. We'll see." Joey said.
"Watch it, mutt." Seto said.
"Bite me." Joey retorted.
"I'd rather not get fleas." Seto spot back.
Yugi, Yami, Mokuba, and Tristan all sighed as Joey and Seto launched into another of their insult challenge to see who could fire off the best insult.
"Will they ever change?" Mokuba asked.
"Probably not." Yami said.
"At least they're not as bad as they used to be. They can tolerate each other now." Yugi said.
"I think that's more for you and Yami than anything, Yugi." Tristan said.
"Yeah. I know." Yugi said.
Hope you liked it.
Next: Yugi helps Mokuba with a little problem he has.
R&R.
