Chapter 28- Discussions

~Two Months Later~

Yugi walked out of the bathroom with his hand over his mouth. "I hate morning sickness!" Yugi groaned as he walked over and fell onto the bed face first.

Yami came out of the bathroom as well and walked over, sitting down beside Yugi. He started to rub Yugi's back. "Well, maybe you'll get over it when your first trimester is over." Yami said.

"One can only hope." Yugi said.

"At least it only lasts through the morning. You could have been like Heba and had it all day." Yami pointed out.

"I am thankful for it." Yugi said, sitting up.

"Do you need to stay home today?" Yami asked.

"No, Yami. I may be sick, but it's no reason to call in to work. I'll be fine. At least I won't be sick in afternoon." Yugi said.

"Okay. I'll go on downstairs while you get dressed." Yami said.

"All right." Yugi said.

Yami kissed Yugi on the cheek before he headed downstairs.

Yugi got up and got into the clothes that had been laid out for him. Once he was dressed, he headed downstairs. He could hear crying when he got into the kitchen. "Why are you so upset, Heba?" Yugi asked jokingly.

"Ha. Ha. Very funny. Blake's being difficult." Heba answered as he tried to give Blake his bottle.

Aknankanon chuckled. "He knows that we're eating better than he is." Aknankanon said.

"Well, he has a while before he gets to eat food like us." Atemu said, taking Blake from Heba to see if he could have better luck.

"Since you're sick again, I thought that oatmeal would sit better with your stomach, Yugi." Amara said, setting the bowl in front of Yugi.

"Thank you." Yugi said, grateful that she had thought about that.

"You're welcome. I know your pain. Morning sickness it the worst part about being pregnant." Amara said.

"What about labor?" Heba asked.

"I was referring to the pregnancy itself. That's at the end." Amara said. She thought a moment and said, "That is pretty bad."

"You're not helping my nerves." Yugi said.

"Just make sure to get some drugs for when you're in labor." Heba said.

"Heba!" Amara growled.

"What? It's the truth." Heba said.

"Heba, stop talking about that." Yugi said, starting to eat his oatmeal.

"Sure." Heba said.

"Great." Atemu said.

Heba burst out laughing along with Yami and Aknankanon. Amara covered her mouth to suppress her giggles.

"What?" Yugi asked, confused.

"Blake just threw up in Atemu." Yami answered.

'I miss everything.' Yugi thought, once again feeling slightly depressed that he was blind.

"Here. Go change before you have to leave." Heba said, taking Blake.

"Right." Atemu said, heading upstairs.

"Daddy knows that you didn't mean anything, Blake." Heba said.

"I'll get a fresh bottle." Amara said, starting to fix another one.

Once Yugi and Yami were done with breakfast, they both got ready to leave.

"Well, we're going on." Yami said

"All right. Have a good day." Amara said.

"Thanks." Yugi and Yami said as they left the house.

"That was rather funny. Atemu didn't look too happy about Blake throwing up on him." Yami said.

"I wouldn't laugh, Yami. That could be you with this one." Yugi said.

"I know. I know." Yami said.

"Then don't laugh." Yugi said.

"Right." Yami agreed.

Yami drove down the highway toward the school to drop Yugi off. "Yugi, if you need-" Yami started.

"If I need to leave early, I will call." Yugi said.

"And if-" Yami started again.

"If I just want to talk, call you." Yugi said.

"And if-" Yami began once again.

"If I need you for any reason, I will call you, Yami." Yugi said.

"How do you know what I'm going to say before I say it?" Yami asked.

"Because I know you well, Yami. We've been together almost two years, and we have been married for five months." Yugi reminded him.

"Right. Just checking." Yami said.

"I'll be fine, Yami, and unless I am meeting with another teach or a student at that time, I will call you during lunch." Yugi said.

"All right, Yugi." Yami said, smiling.

Soon, they arrived at the Domino Deaf and Blind School.

"We're here." Yami said.

"All right, Yami. Thanks. I'll see you this afternoon." Yugi said, kissing Yami.

"All right, Yugi. Bye." Yami said.

"Bye." Yugi said before getting out of the car, getting his things, closing the car door, and heading inside.

Yami smiled before he drove away from the school. 'I can't help that I worry about him. I suppose I always will.' Yami thought.


Yugi had gone into his office and gotten everything out down. He sat down and looked over the mail from the school, all of which was written in Braille.

There was a knock on his door.

"Come in." Yugi called.

The door opened, and a female student walked in. "Excuse, Mr. Sennen." the girl said.

Yugi recognized the voice as one of his students. "What can I do for you, Nicole?" Yugi asked.

Nicole Williams was one of his students. She was a good student, and Yugi liked her curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

"Mr. Sennen, can I talk to you about something?" Nicole asked.

Yugi checked the time. "Well, my first class starts in ten minutes. It would be better to wait. Can you meet me during the lunch hour?" Yugi asked.

"Of course. It's something that might take some time to talk about." Nicole admitted.

"All right, Nicole. We'll discuss this later. Now, go on to class." Yugi said.

"Yes, sir." Nicole said before leaving.

Yugi then gathered what he needed for class before he headed out of his office and for his classroom.


Yami was sitting in his office doing work when his phone rang. He put it on speaker and said, "Hello?"

"Hi, Yami." Yugi said.

"HI, Yugi. It's not your lunch hour." Yami said, seeing it was still early.

"I know, Yami. This is my planning period. I was just calling to tell you that I won't be able to call during lunch. A student has asked me to talk with them, so I'll be doing it during that time." Yugi explained.

"Oh. I understand, Yugi." Yami said, knowing that it was often that students would come to him to discuss problems or for help with schoolwork.

"Thanks, Yami. I'll see you this afternoon." Yugi said.

"All right, Yugi. I'll see you later. Bye." Yami said, knowing Yugi needed to prepare for his next class.

"Bye, Yami." Yugi said before hanging up.

Yami cut the phone off. He smiled. 'I'm glad that they feel that they can talk to Yugi about their problems. He's a good teacher, but he's also a good listener.' Yami thought.


"So, how is parenthood, Heba?" Solomon asked.

"It's great, Grandpa. I love Blake so much." Heba said. He laughed. "Although Atemu had a bad experience this morning." Heba said.

"What happened?" Solomon asked, curious.

Heba giggled. "Blake was being difficult on eating this morning, so Atemu took him to see if he would have any better luck, but Blake ended up throwing up on Atemu right before he needed to leave to go to work." Heba explained.

Solomon chuckled. "That would be bad." Solomon agreed.

"He was able to leave for work on time, but he wasn't too thrilled with the fact that it happened." Heba said.

"I'm certain that he wasn't mad at Blake." Solomon said.

"I know he's not mad. He's mad at himself for taking Blake from me because he knows that if he hadn't, I'm the one that Blake would have thrown up on." Heba said.

"That I can understand." Solomon agreed.

"In any case, things are going great." Heba said.

"I'm certain that Amara loved taking care of him while you're here at work, and I know that she's looking forward to the other one coming." Solomon said.

"Yeah. She is." Heba agreed. He had been thinking about something he had thought about talking with his grandfather about. "Grandpa, can I talk to you about something." Heba said.

"Sure." Solomon said.

"Well, ever since Blake was born, things have been a little off." Heba said.

"Don't worry about that, Heba." Solomon said.

"Grandpa, you don't even know what I'm talking about." Heba said.

"You and Atemu haven't been together since Blake was born, right? That's the problem, right?" Solomon asked.

Heba started laughing. "Grandpa, there is no problem in the bedroom. Just me. The moment the doctor gave me a clean bill of health, Atemu was all over me." Heba said.

"Ah." Solomon said, understanding. He then frowned. "So, what's been off?" Solomon asked.

"Yugi has." Heba said.

"In what way?" Solomon asked.

Heba sighed as he sat down on a stool. "I don't know. It's just that he seems upset at times. He'll seem depressed for a few moments. Like this morning." Heba said.

"Care to elaborate?" Solomon asked, sitting on the other stool.

"Well, when Blake threw up on Atemu, the rest of us started laughing, and we had to tell Yugi what happened. When he thought no one was paying attention to him, he seems upset." Heba said.

"Hmm." Solomon said, thinking.

"That's not all. There are times that he gets like that when we're talking about Blake or something he does. You know he recently started rolling over, and when we talk about it, it's like he's upset, and he wont' take part in the conversations. It has me worried." Heba said.

"Does it happen often?" Solomon asked.

"No, but it seems to be happening more frequently. Or I'm noticing it more frequently." Heba said.

"Has anyone else noticed?" Solomon asked.

"No, but it has me worried." Heba said.

"Well, right now, just keep an eye on him, and if it keeps happening, talk to him." Solomon said.

"That's just it. When something bothered him before, he would come to me, so why not now?" Heba asked.

"It could be that he wanted to try and figure this out for himself, or it is possible that he's afraid it might upset you." Solomon said.

"I suppose so." Heba agreed.

"Don't worry, Heba. I'm sure it's nothing. It could be a result of his pregnancy. You know that hormones are completely out of wack during that time." Solomon said.

"Yeah. I guess you're right." Heba agreed.

Heba couldn't shake the feeling that his grandfather was wrong, though.


Yugi had just finished with his last class and was packing up his things to take to his office.

"Excuse me, Mr. Sennen." Nicole said.

"Yes, Nicole?" Yugi asked.

"Is it okay if we talk now?" Nicole asked.

"Of course. Would you rather we talk in my office?" Yugi asked.

"Um, yeah. I would rather it be a private conversation." Nicole said.

"All right. Come with me." Yugi said.

The two headed down to Yugi's office.

Yugi went and sat behind his desk while Nicole sat in the chair in front of the desk.

"All right. Now, what's the problem?" Yugi asked.

"Well, you know that they have those surgeries that can help blind people to see again?" Nicole asked.

"Yes. I know of them." Yugi answered, having a feeling that he knew exactly where this conversation was heading now.

"What do you think of them?" Nicole asked.

"Nicole, are you really asking me what I would think if you had one?" Yugi asked.

"Yeah." Nicole admitted quietly.

"Nicole, it is not something that you need to be embarrassed about. It's common for people who are blind to undergo those surgeries in order to try and gain their sight." Yugi said.

"But what do you think of them?" Nicole asked.

Yugi leaned back in his chair, "Nicole, I think that they are a good thing for those who want to have their sight. There are people who can't adjust to the life of being blind if they have had their sight before, and there are those who don't get support from their family and friends who want them to see, and they feel that they need to have their sight in order to fit in." Yugi said.

"Would you think differently of a person if they underwent one of those surgeries in hopes of getting their sight?" Nicole asked.

Yugi smiled. "I take it that you have the chance to go through this, but you're not certain that you should." Yugi said.

"I have a lot of friends here who think that blind people shouldn't try it. That they should be happy with the way they are." Nicole said.

"Nicole, you can't let them dictate what you do. If you want to do this, then you shouldn't let that stop you. If they are truly your friends, they will stick by you no matter what." Yugi said.

"I know. I just don't want to feel like an outcast." Nicole said.

"Nicole, do you really want this surgery?" Yugi asked seriously.

"More than anything. I lost my sight five years ago. I want to see my parents again. I want to be able to see everything I haven't seen in five ears. I want to see what my baby brother looks like with my own eyes, not having to imagine it through what's described to me." Nicole said passionately.

"I believe you have the answer." Yugi said.

"Then you don't-" Nicole started.

"Nicole, my opinion is not relevant. This is about you and what makes you happy. If having this surgery will make you happy, then I say do it. I will think no differently of you if you do." Yugi said.

"Really?" Nicole asked.

"Really." Yugi agreed.

"Thank you, Mr. Sennen. That's great!" Nicole said happily.

Yugi smiled. "Glad I could help." Yugi said.

"My parents were leaving the decision to me, and I've been struggling with it for the past few days. I guess I needed someone to make me think about what I wanted." Nicole said.

"I would suggest you talk further with your parents about this, but I believe you should do what will make you happy, not what will make other people happy. This surgery is about you, no one else." Yugi told her.

"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Sennen. You've been a great help." Nicole said.

"Good. Please let me know what you decide." Yugi said.

"I will. Bye." Nicole said before leaving the office.

Yugi smiled as he leaned back in his chair once more. 'I'm glad that I was able to help her. Nicole deserves to have her sight if that's what she wants.' Yugi thought.

Yugi's thoughts then took a different turn. 'She wants to see her baby brother. I'd like that myself, so be able to see my nephew. I don't know what Blake looks like, and I hear them talking about things Blake does, and I don't know what they are. It does get depressing at times.' Yugi thought. He then lay his hand on his stomach. 'And when this one is born, I won't be able to see him or her. I won't know what my own child looks like.' Yugi thought. He let out a deep breath to try to stop himself from crying. 'I don't even know what my own husband looks like. It does get to me at times.' Yugi thought.

After Yugi was able to compose, he ate the lunch that he had brought with him before he got his things together and headed for his classroom.


Yami and Yugi were laying in their room that night.

"Yugi, what was that meeting with that student about today?" Yami asked suddenly.

"Why do you want to know?" Yugi asked.

"I was just curious, or is it something that you would rather not talk to me about?" Yami asked,

"She's been given the chance to have a surgery that could give her, her eyesight back. She has some friends who don't like the idea of those surgeries, and she was needing advice on what to do." Yugi explained.

"What did you tell her?" Yami asked, running his hand down Yugi's arm.

"I told her that she should do what she wanted to and not worry about what other people thought. This had to be what made her happy, not anyone else." Yugi replied.

"That's good advise." Yami remarked.

"I know. I can understand why she wanted to have this surgery. She was blinded five years ago, and she misses being able to see. I can't blame her for wanting to give the surgery a try." Yugi said.

"It's the truth. In any case, I hope she does what makes her happy." Yami said.

"So do I." Yugi replied.

Later, Yugi was laying in bed awake.

Yami had his arm wrapped around Yugi's waist and was sound asleep.

Yugi was thinking. 'I really wish that I could see. I know that I always say that it doesn't bother, but it does at times, and it's getting worse. I don't want to worry anyone about this.' Yugi thought.

Deciding that he just needed to let it go for now, Yugi settled down and was soon asleep.


Heba was at the shop again the next day, helping his grandfather get ready for the day of business.

"So, has anything else happened, Heba?" Solomon asked.

"What are you talking about?" Heba asked, confused at first.

"Yugi." Solomon clarified.

"Oh. Well, I really don't know. It only happens periodically. I'd have to watch him over time to see if anything changes." Heba answered.

"Well, I would suggest giving it a little time. You know Yugi. It takes him some time to be able to come to anyone with his problems. It's also possible that he's planning to talk with Yami about this." Solomon stated.

"I know, Grandpa. I just get worried when I don't think that Yugi is going to talk to anyone. I guess the fact that he's pregnant also makes me feel a little bit more worried." Heba said.

"Well, you're going to have to let that go and worry about your own family. Let Yami worry about his." Solomon said.

Heba sighed. "Yugi's my brother, Grandpa. I'm not going to stop worrying about him, but I'll Yami handle this." Heba said.

"Besides, it could be nothing. You never know. Like I said before, it could just be a side effect of the pregnancy. Different people have different reactions to pregnancy. I'm sure it'll all be fine." Solomon assured his grandfather.

"All right." Heba agreed. He knew that he would still worry about Yugi, but he also knew that he would have to learn to let it go.


Yugi was in his office. He was getting ready to leave. He had a doctor's appointment, so he was having to leave early.

There was a knock on the open door.

"Yes." Yugi said.

"Excuse me, Mr. Sennen." Nicole said.

Yugi turned toward her and smiled. "Yes, Nicole. What can I do for you?" Yugi asked.

"I just wanted to let you know that my parents talked about it yesterday, and I'm going to give the surgery a try." Nicole said.

Yugi smiled. "I'm glad to know that, Nicole. Good luck with it." Yugi said.

"Thank you, Mr. Sennen. And thanks for the advice. You really helped me see things clearly." Nicole said.

"I'm glad that I could help." Yugi said. He picked up the bags he would take with him.

"Are you going to your next class?" Nicole asked.

"No. I'm not. I have a doctor's appointment today, so I was only going to be here for half the day." Yugi replied.

"Okay. Bye, Mr. Sennen. Thanks for everything." Nicole said.

"You're welcome, Nicole. Bye." Yugi said.

Nicole then walked off.

Yugi headed out of his office, shutting the door and locking it.

"Ah! Mr. Sennen." Mrs. Taylor said.

Yugi turned toward her and smiled. "Hello, Mrs. Taylor." Yugi said.

"Hello. I see that you're leaving." Mrs. Taylor said.

"Yeah. To day was my doctor's appointment, so I had to take half a day off." Yugi replied.

"That's completely understandable. I hope everything goes well." Mrs. Taylor said.

"Thank you." Yugi replied before walking off and down the stairs.

"Yugi!" Yami called when he saw his husband.

Yugi walked over. "I see that you were here early." Yugi said.

"Well, I didn't want us to be late for the appointment." Yami said.

Yugi rolled his eyes. "Yami, it's just a regular check-up. I'm sure that everything is fine." Yugi said.

"I know, Yugi, but I just want to make sure." Yami replied.

"All right. Let's get going." Yugi said.

The two got in the car, and they headed for the doctor's office.


"So, how have you been doing?" Dr. Harris asked when she saw Yugi.

"I've been doing fine. I still have morning sickness, but it's less frequent." Yugi said.

"That's a sign that you're getting over, which is a good thing for you." Dr. Harris said.

"Yeah. It will be nice not to be sick every time I turn around." Yugi said.

"Have you been eating good?" Dr. Harris asked.

"Yes. He," Yugi said, pointing at Yami, "makes sure that I do."

Dr. Harris chuckled at the look on Yami's face. "Don't worry about it. That's the way it works, and I think that it always helps to have someone help you eat right." Dr. Harris said. She then stood up. "Now, let me check up on the little one." Dr. Harris said.

Yugi then lay back so that Dr. Harris could do the ultrasound.

"Well, everything looks good, and the baby is healthy." Dr. Harris said.

"That's good." Yami said.

"Indeed. Now, I want you to continue to eat right. I'll tell you that as you go into your second trimester, you might start getting some cravings." Dr. Harris said.

"Is that good or bad?" Yugi asked.

"Neither, really. If you crave healthy foods, it doesn't matter. If you crave junk, you can have some. Just don't overdue it." Dr. Harris said.

"Okay. I'll remember that." Yugi said.

"I just hope that you don't get some of the weird cravings like Heba did." Yami said.

Yugi laughed. "So do I. Heba finds most of those things disgusting now." Yugi said.

"Well, that happens. Just keep taking care of your self, and I'll see you next time." Dr. Harris said.

"All right. Thank you, Dr. Harris." Yami said.

Yami and Yugi left the doctor's office.

"Well, that was a good visit." Yami said.

"Yes. I told you that everything would be fine." Yugi said.

"Well, I can't wait for you to start showing." Yami said.

"Why? You want to see me fat?" Yugi asked.

"Yugi, I think that you will look great. Besides, it's just because you're pregnant, and that make sit beautiful to me." Yami said.

"You're good at covering yourself so that it doesn't look like you have your foot in your mouth." Yugi remarked.

"Yes. I am." Yami agreed with a smile.

Yugi shook his head. "You're unbelievable." Yugi said.

"Thank you." Yami said

Yugi sighed. His stomach then growled.

"I think our baby is trying to tell you something, Yugi." Yami said.

"I agree. We might as well go somewhere for lunch. I just hope I can keep something down." Yugi said.

"Well, it's the afternoon, and you usually are fine by now." Yami said.

"I suppose so. Let's go eat." Yugi said.

The two stopped at a restaurant and went in to eat lunch.


Hope you liked it. The conversation between Yugi and the student should be kept in mind for the coming chapters.

Next: Yugi and Atemu talk. I might have Yugi having the baby, too.

R&R.
