Chapter 34
The next morning Yugi headed to school alone. By the time he got to his locker he noticed Joey wasn't around. He chuckled realizing that Joey must have separation anxiety. As he headed to his first class Yugi smiled thinking it was gonna be a good day.
"So I heard Joey gave birth in the back of Seto's limo yesterday."
Yugi looked up and smiled at Tristan, "Yeah, it was wild."
"That's gotta be something."
The teacher glared at the two boys and they stopped talking and returned to their work. The day continued at a pretty fast pace for Yugi. By the end of the day he was ready to relax with his boyfriend and kids. As soon as the last bell rang he ran outside to wait for Yami to pick him up. Several minutes later he saw Riena speeding toward him. He saw the kids in the back and wondered what was going on.
"Riena, what's going on? Where's Yami?" He asked as he got in the car.
"Yami was in a car accident."
"What! Is he okay?"
Riena shrugged, "I don't know. They wouldn't tell me anything over the phone."
Yugi sighed and the rest of the ride was silent. Once they reached the hospital, Yugi quickly exited the car and reached in the back for Akemi's carrier. Riena took Takara and they rushed inside. Riena rushed to the desk.
"My son. Yami Sennen. He was brought in?"
"Down the hall and to the left."
Riena nodded and they headed down the hall. Once they reached Yami's room Yugi gasped. Yami was lying on a bed hooked up to a bunch of machines and lying deathly still.
"Is…is he….?"
The doctor looked up at him. He walked over to them and ushered them down the hall.
"I'm Doctor Taylor," He said. "So, Yami is doing better than expected. Due to the force of the car crash we had expected there to be internal damage which there is none. I believe it's due to the fact that he must've been wearing his seatbelt. However, Yami does appear to be in a coma."
"A coma?" Both Yugi and Riena gasped at the same time.
The doctor nodded, "Yes and unfortunately, we don't know the extent of it or when he'll wake up. It could be hours, days, months, or…"
"Or never," Yugi sighed.
After talking more with Dr. Taylor, Riena and Yugi took the kids and headed home. When they got home Yugi went into the nursery and began to feed Akemi getting ready to lay him down for a nap while Riena fed Takara a late lunch. Riena came in the nursery carrying a dozing Takara and laid her in her crib. Takara smiled sleepily at her nana as she popped a fist in her mouth and curled up with Kit and Dodo. Yugi had just finished feeding and burping Akemi and laid him in his crib as well and then kissed both his children.
Riena and Yugi had both sat on the couch when the doorbell rang. Riena got up to open the door and found a young man and woman arguing.
"We should come back later, hon. This probably isn't a good time," The woman said.
The man shook his head, "Now is the best time."
"I don't mean to interrupt," Riena said, "But can I help you?"
The woman turned and smiled, "Sorry, we're looking for Yugi."
Riena nodded, "I'm sorry but this really isn't a good time."
"Look lady, we know what happened alright? I mean I'm the one who told my girlfriend to call the fucking ambulance. So I suggest you move your skinny ass and let us talk to Yugi."
"Rabid! Are you insane?" The woman turned to Riena. "I am so sorry. Tell Yugi we'll talk to him another time."
"Rabid," Yugi said walking up to the door, "I'd really appreciate you not talking that way to Yami's mother."
Rabid looked at Riena in shock, "Oh my gosh! I am so sorry. I didn't realize."
Riena nodded once and turned to Yugi as he let Rabid and Maxine in the house, "How do you know them?"
"They're good friends of Bakura and incidentally became good friends with Yami. Plus, they saved my life a couple of times."
Maxine glanced around, "Where are the kids?"
Yugi smiled, "Napping, but Akemi's about to get up soon."
Rabid nodded, "So I figured that you should hear it from as to what happened."
"Seeing as you did see the whole thing," Maxine smiled.
"Right. So me and my boys were chilling at our spot just playing cards and drinking. I noticed Yami's car at the light and wondered what he was doing down this way. I go to walk over knowing he'll stop if he sees me, when all of a sudden this black sedan comes speeding out of nowhere and slams into him from behind."
Riena gasps and clutches Yugi's arm.
"Yugi, make no mistake, I ain't lying. Yami's car completely flipped over. The sedan just kept driving and I wanted to shoot at it but didn't. When I realized weren't gonna be able to get Yami out of the car, I yelled for Maxine here to call an ambulance."
Tears rolled down Yugi's cheek as Akemi started crying. Riena stood up to go get him.
"You can bring him ere. He's probably hungry," Yugi said.
Riena nodded and went into the nursery to pick up the screaming boy. She headed back to the living room and handed him to Yugi. Yugi smiled apologetically at Maxine and Rabid. Maxine just waved her hand and shook her head. Akemi immediately latched onto Yugi's nipple.
"Oh my, he is adorable," Maxine gushed.
Yugi smiled, "Thanks."
"How much did he weigh?"
"Eight pounds."
Rabid whistled, "Wow. That's bigger than Ryou and Bakura's daughter."
Yugi nodded, "That's because Luna was premie."
The four adults looked up as they heard soft footsteps coming down the hall. Takara entered the living room with Dodo in one hand and her fist still in her mouth.
"Papa."
Yugi smiled, "Hey, princess. Have a good nap?"
Takara nodded and pointed to Akemi. "Papa, 'Kem eat?"
Yugi nodded, "Yeah, Akemi's eating. You hungry?"
Takara shook her head, "No. Papa, lap."
Yugi shook his head, "Sorry, Taki, but you can't sit on papa's lap right now. You wanna sit with nana until your brother's done?"
Takara pouted and shook her head, "No. Papa, lap."
Yugi frowned, "Princess, you have to wait."
Takara pouted and screamed as she started to throw a tantrum. Rabid and Maxine looked at each other. Yugi sighed as he put Akemi over his shoulder to burp him. Maxine pulled Takara on her lap and spoke to her softly until she calmed down. Afterward they announced that they were leaving. Yugi placed Akemi on the floor against the couch and gave him one of Takara's toys as he walked them to the door.
Two seconds later he heard Akemi screaming. As he said his goodbyes and shut the door Takara started wailing. Yugi sighed as he walked into the living room and was surprised by the sight that he saw. Akemi was on his stomach screaming and Riena was swatting Takara's behind making her wail. He walked over to Akemi and picked him up.
"Riena, what are you doing?" He asked.
Takara saw Yugi and cried, "Papa."
"Come here, princess."
Takara toddled over to Yugi. He picked her up and sat her on his lap next to Akemi. Both Akemi and Takara quieted down. He sat them on the couch surrounded by pillows while he put the movie Aladdin in for them. Takara giggled. Yugi pulled Riena out of hearing distance but he was still able to see his children.
"Why did you spank my daughter?"
"She was being mean to Akemi. She snatched the toy away from him causing him to fall."
"So you spanked her?" Yugi exclaimed.
"Yugi-" Riena stopped when Yugi held up his hand.
"You do not have the right to discipline my daughter. She is my child not yours. The only ones allowed to discipline her are me and Yami."
Riena went to open her moth but Yugi stopped her. He glanced at the kids before he spoke again.
"No, Takara is not his but helped me raise her. And for your information, we do not spank her. She's one years old! If she does something bad we tell her that it was wrong for her to do that and maybe maybe stick her in the crib for a few seconds. If you ever lay a hand on either of my children like that again without my permission it will be the last thing you ever do. Understand?"
Riena nodded. She was shocked to see Yugi so angry. Yugi nodded and went back to his kids.
