Chapter 29- The Twins Arrive
~Four Months Later~
Yugi had just finished in a meeting with the council, and he was walking down the hall.
"Hey, Yugi!"
Yugi turned to find that Heba was catching up to him.
"Where are you going?" Heba asked.
"I'm going to my room." Yugi answered.
"Going to check on Yami?" Heba asked.
"Of course I am. He could go into labor at any time, and he is going to have twins." Yugi said.
"I can understand that. Atemu is only four months pregnant, and I'm already a nervous wreck." Heba said.
Yugi laughed. "Well, you can get a little practice in before yours arrives when ours are born. I'm certain Atemu will get in some practice." Yugi said.
"Yeah. He probably will." Heba agreed.
Yami was lying in his bed, readying a book. He was very big now.
The door opened, Yugi walked into the room. "Hi, Yami. How are you doing?" Yugi asked as he walked over and kissed Yami.
"I'm fine, Yugi. I'm just real tired." Yami answered.
"Well, that's understandable." Yugi said as he sat down beside Yami.
Forgetting his book, Yami cuddled up against Yugi. "I just wish I felt better about myself." Yami said.
"Yami, you look great. You don't have anything to be upset about." Yugi said as he started to stroke Yami's hair.
"Yugi, I ma fat when I used to be thin." Yami grumbled.
"And you'll get your old body back after you have the twins. Don't worry about it." Yugi said.
"I wish that I was as confident about this as you are." Yami said.
"Yami, you don't need to worry about that." Yugi said as he placed a hand on Yami's stomach.
Yami sighed. "I guess I don't need to worry about it right now." Yami agreed.
"No, you don't." Yugi agreed.
"Well, at least the nursery is ready for when these two decide to come." Yami said.
"We had to have the nursery ready." Yugi reminded him.
Heba walked into his chambers to find that Atemu was not in the room. He frowned, wondering where Atemu could be before he realized that the shower was running.
Heba smirked. 'So, Atemu's in the shower, is he?' Heba thought.
Heba snuck into the bathing chambers and quickly stripped himself of his clothing before he entered the shower.
Atemu had his back to Heba, so he had no idea that Heba was even in the shower with him.
Arms suddenly wrapped themselves around Atemu's waist.
Atemu jumped, but the grip on his waist didn't lessen.
"What's wrong, Atemu?" Heba asked.
"Heba, what are you doing?" Atemu asked.
"Not much." Heba replied before he leaned down and started to lick Atemu's neck.
Atemu shivered at this. He hadn't been with Heba in a while. "How long before you have to go back to meeting?" Atemu asked.
"Hmm. I believe Yugi mentioned us gathering together for the next meeting in three hours. Plenty of time." Heba said.
Atemu turned around and kissed Heba. Heba wrapped his arms around Atemu.
Heba broke the kiss and said, "Should we go to the bed or stay right here?" He then started to lick up Atemu's neck.
Atemu shivered at the feel of Heba's tongue on his neck. "T-the be-bed." Atemu gasped out.
"All right." Heba said. He turned off the shower before he picked Atemu up and headed back into the bedroom.
Yami lay awake in the middle of the night. He let out a frustrated sigh. He wanted nothing more than to sleep, but the twins were seeing to it that he wouldn't get any sleep that night. Another sharp kick to his side had Yami grimacing slightly.
Yami finally sat up and turned to see that Yugi was fast asleep. 'At least Yugi is getting some sleep.' Yami thought. He finally got out of the bed and put a robe on before he walked out onto the balcony.
The night air was a little cool, but it didn't bother Yami in the least.
Yami leaned forward on the rail and looked around.
It was always so beautiful at night.
Yami often liked to come out here and see it at night. Now, since he couldn't sleep, he decided that he would look out.
Arms suddenly wrapped around Yami.
"What are you doing out here, Yami?" Yugi asked.
Yami sighed. "I can't sleep. The babies are active and won't let me sleep." Yami answered.
Yugi chuckled. "Well, might as well get used to it because we won't be getting a lot of sleep at night once the twins arrive." Yugi said.
"I know. I just wish that I could sleep now while I have the chance." Yami said.
"Well, you don't have to do anything, so if you can get to sleep during the day, you can get some rest." Yugi said.
"Okay. Sorry about waking you up." Yami said.
"Don't worry about it. Come on back to bed. Maybe you can get to sleep." Yugi said.
"Okay. I guess it won't hurt to try and sleep." Yami agreed.
The two went back to their room and lay down to go to sleep.
When Yugi woke up the next morning, he found that Yami was asleep beside him. 'At least he finally fell asleep.' Yugi thought.
Yugi got out of bed and showered before he dressed.
'I'll let Yami sleep late. He deserves it.' Yugi thought.
Yugi left the room, shutting the door behind him.
Yami awoke to loud pounding on the door.
"What the-" Yami started.
"YAMI! GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED! YOU'VE BEEN ASLEEP HALF THE MORNING ALREADY!" Marik shouted.
Yami growled. 'I'm going to kill him.' Yami thought. He got up out of bed and opened the door. "What do you want?" Yami demanded.
"Why are you being so lazy?" Seto asked.
"I don't know, Seto. Maybe because I was kept up half the night by the twins, and I was trying to get some sleep." Yami said, glaring at Marik.
"Oops." Marik said.
"Come on in." Yami said.
The five entered the room.
"Having trouble sleeping?" Atemu asked.
"Yeah. The twins were active last night, and it was early this morning before I finally fell asleep." Yami answered. He sighed and said, "Wait here. I need to get a shower and get dressed." Yami said before he walked into the bathing chambers.
Atemu whacked Marik in the head.
"Ow! What was that for?" Marik asked, rubbing his head.
"For waking Yami up. He obviously needed the sleep." Atemu replied.
"Well, there's nothing that we can do now." Seto said.
A few moments later, Yami walked out of the bathing chambers, dressed.
"So, what should we do?" Bakura asked.
"Something that doesn't involve me leaving this room. I do not want to do a lot of walking." Yami said as he sat down.
"Well, first thing we should probably do is get something sent up here for you to eat." Honda said.
"I agree with that." Yami said.
"Well, how's Yami?" Joey asked.
"He's been fine. He had a bit of insomnia last night, but he was asleep when I left. I figure that I'll let him sleep as late as he wants." Yugi said.
"Let's just hope that our mates don't decide to wake him up." Heba said.
"Yeah. It would be like them to try and get Yami up if they think that he's sleeping too late." Otogi agreed.
"Well, let's just hope that they don't." Yugi said.
A kitchen servant came up and said, "Emperor."
"What is it?" Yugi asked.
"There had been a lot of food ordered sent to your chambers. We weren't sure if we should or not." the servant said.
'Yami's awake.' Yugi thought. Aloud, he said, "Yes. All the food should be sent there." Yugi answered.
"Yes, my king." the servant said before they left.
"I think that Yami's up." Ryou said.
"Yeah. I guess we might as well leave them be because there is no way to know what Yami is eating." Yugi said.
There was a ton of food brought to Yami and Yugi's chambers.
"Are you sure that that's not too much food?" Marik asked.
"No." Yami and Atemu said at the same time.
"Okay. We got it. You two can eat most of this on your own." Seto said.
"Good. Now, are we going to eat or talk?" Yami asked.
With that, the entire group started to eat.
Later that day, Yugi walked to his chambers and found Yami sitting on the bed.
"Hey, Yugi. How was your day?" Yami asked.
"It was fine. I heard that a lot of food was sent up here today." Yugi said.
"Yeah. All six of us were in the room, and Atemu and I are pregnant. We ate it all." Yami said.
"Please tell me that you and Atemu didn't eat all that food on your own." Yugi said.
"No. We all ate it, all six of us." Yami said.
"That's good to know." Yugi said.
Yami sighed. "I just wish that the twins would come already. I'm getting tired of being pregnant." Yami said.
"Yami, you should be careful what you wish for. It might just come true." Yugi said.
"I know." Yami said.
"Well, I spent a good bit of the last two hours training with Joey, so I'm going to go and take a shower." Yugi said.
"Okay." Yami said.
Yugi then walked into the bathing chambers and took a shower.
Yami continued to read his book as Yugi was taking a shower. Yami had noticed that as the day went on, the twins were getting more and more active.
Yami grimaced at a harsh kick. 'Man. Why are they so active?' Yami asked himself.
"Yami, you okay?" Yugi asked.
Yami looked up into Yugi's worried amethyst eyes. "I'm fine. The twins are just a bit active." Yami said.
"Do you need me to get Ishizu?" Yugi asked.
"I don't think so." Yami answered.
"All right. If you think that you're okay." Yugi said.
"I am." Yami said. He then grimaced at another kick.
"Yami, I think that I am going to get Ishizu." Yugi said.
"No, Yugi. I'm-" Yami started before a gasp cut him off.
"Yami, what's wrong?" Yugi asked, rushing over to him.
"Yugi, I- I think that I've gone into labor." Yami said.
"All right. I'm going to get Ishizu now." Yugi said.
Yami nodded.
Yugi ran from the room and quickly got Ishizu.
Ishizu and two assistants ran with Yugi back to his chambers.
Yugi had to stay outside while Ishizu helped Yami with the birthing.
Before long, Atemu and Heba came out of their room.
"Yugi. What's wrong?" Heba asked.
"Yami's having the twins now." Yugi answered.
"Now!" the two exclaimed.
Yugi nodded.
Ishizu was with Yami as he was trying to give birth.
"Yami, I need you to give me a strong push." Ishizu told him.
Yami did as he was told despite the fact that it was hard.
Before long, the sound of crying filled the air.
Ishizu smiled. "Well, the first one is a boy, Yami." Ishizu said.
"A boy?" Yami asked.
Ishizu nodded. She handed the baby to one of the assistants before she turned back to Yami. "Yami, we have to continue with the second one." Ishizu said.
Yami nodded.
Five hours had passed since Yami had gone into labor, and Yugi was pacing.
"Yugi, calm down." Joey said.
"Forgive me for being a little nervous, Joey." Yugi said.
"Joey, let him pace." Otogi said, knowing that it was better then Yugi doing anything else.
Before long, Ishizu and her assistants came out of the room with a smile on her face.
"Yami had them, and all three of them are fine." Ishizu said.
That was all that Yugi needed to hear before he was in the room.
"What were they?" Malik asked.
"They had a boy and a girl." Ishizu replied.
Yugi walked into the room to find that Yami was holding the twins.
"Yami, how are you doing?" Yugi asked as he walked over.
"I'm okay. Just tired." Yami answered.
"That's understandable." Yugi said as he sat down on the bed beside Yami.
"Well, we have a son and a daughter now." Yami said as he looked down at the twins.
"Yes, we do." Yugi agreed.
"I guess we now have Chasity and Anthony in our lives now." Yami said.
"Yes, we do." Yugi agreed.
The two were very happy now that they had their children in their lives.
Hope you liked it.
Next: Atemu has the baby.
