Author's Note: Dark Yugi: thank you for reviewing! I hope you love this chapter!

"The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life." -Richard Bach

The relief that washed over both Pegasus and Cecelia was immeasurable. She reached for her husband's hand and gave it a relieved squeeze. The doctors arranged for her to be moved to a regular room with a bed before they exited the room, just as happy tears began streaming down Cecelia's face.

"It's okay," She whispered, "our baby is okay."

"I know. Someone must be watching over us." He said.

He smiled gently at her, and they shared a kiss. They talked for a little while out of relief, However, Cecelia was exhausted. The stress of everything she'd gone through the past few weeks added to the dizzying amount of blood loss she'd suffered made it easy for her to pass out, leaving Pegasus to stand vigil over his bride. It wasn't the first time he'd done it, and he was certain that it wouldn't be the last.

Whenever she slept he had a tendency to mull over her every feature. The golden sunshine of her hair, her perfectly almond shaped eyes that were so blue he felt as though he could dive into them and get lost forever. The perfectly subtle curve of her nose, and the pinkness of her lips that put even the most beautiful of sunsets to shame. And the shade of pink that colored her cheeks when she smiled or blushed reminded him of the hue of pale roses. Every feature was unique and perfect, just like her.

He was so busy staring at her he didn't notice the group of people standing in the doorway. Although his face was hidden from them, Pegasus' body language spoke volumes louder than words could say. His posture, normally straight and proper, was hunched over. His body seemed to be closed in on itself, and seemed... Older somehow. Like he had aged two decades in two hours. It wasn't until someone coughed that Pegasus finally found out that he had visitors. He smiled at them warily. Yugi stepped forward.

"Is everything okay?" He asked. Pegasus nodded.

"She was suffering from hemorrhaging. The doctors were able to stop the bleeding. They took her in for an ultrasound, and somehow the baby is okay."

They all seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Well, everyone except Kaiba that is. He just stared angrily at the wall.

"I'm so glad they're both okay." Said Tèa.

"Ditto." Added Tristan. Pegasus smiled at them gratefully, and then remembered something.

"Yugi-Boy, in all the excitement I almost forgot that we have some business to attend to."

Yugi quirked an eyebrow. "What's that?"

"When this all started I made you a promise that if you kept my wife safe I would give you whatever you wanted in return- and I am nothing if not a man of my word."

"It was no trouble at all. Really." He said, secretly a little embarrassed by all the attention.

"Even so, I can't just leave without giving you something in return. After all you've done for me it's the least I can do. You may choose whatever you want of mine to take. You may take my company, my island, whatever you wish. Losing those things mean nothing to me- not as long as I have her." He said, glancing at Cecelia. "If I have her, I have everything." He ran a hand gently down her cheek.

Yugi was about to politely decline his offer when Yami stopped him. He reminded him that they could take anything- including the millennium eye. Although both Yami and Yugi had absolutely no doubt that Pegasus earnestly meant what he said about having everything as long as he had his wife, Yami worried about the temptation that might occur if he were to still have it. Yami looked at his counterpart as he shared these thoughts with him, and Yugi nodded with understanding. It was a reasonable fear to have. So, since he was the one who was worrying about it, Yugi let Yami take over to make the deal himself.

The pharaoh stepped forward. "I may pick whatever I choose?"

"Yes. Whatever you want." He repeated.

"Then I choose your millennium eye."

Pegasus gave him a wry little smile and for a moment Yami was afraid that he'd been suckered into believing a lie, but when Pegasus spoke it eased his fears.

"I had a feeling that's what you would choose. I didn't need the powers of the eye to see that coming."

He turned his face away from them to take it out from his skull. He stared at it for a moment and said a silent goodbye and gave thanks for the item that had eventually led to his greatest wish being granted. He held it in his hand for a fraction of a moment more before turning around in his seat. He set the eye in Yugi's hand and looked up at him.

"Take great care of it, Yugi-Boy. It has served me very well and is like an old friend to me. Keep it safe, and may it give you the same happiness that it has given me and my family."

Yami smiled at him, pleasantly surprised.

"I will. Thank you."

Pegasus smiled at him with genuine happiness.

"If you dorks start holding hands next I think I'm going to puke up a lung." Said Kaiba, voice dripping with contempt. They all were glad to ignore him.

The friends all gathered around Cecelia's bed, quietly whispering to one another. When she finally woke up and saw them, she seemed refreshed and ready to go. They all talked for a long time. When the sun started to set in the west, Kaiba made the executive decision that they were going to leave now if they wanted a free ride home. Tèa started to protest, but Pegasus assured her that he, his wife, and Croquet could find there own way home. After promising to keep them updated on what was going on in their family, Pegasus and Cecelia said goodbye to each of their friends before they left to go back home.
