Me: Okay so, first off, I am freaking exhausted! I've been up day in, day out getting these stories done because they won't get out of my head. And my mind is constantly rolling. Here lately I've been walking into rooms, forget what I was doing, then walk out, only to remember what I had come in there for in the first place :3 Makes me angry. Anyway, last chapter Yami had started on a secret project. A project that needs to be finished so I can move on to the next point of this story. I'm almost certain that I'm going to hit the 40 mark... But, IDK (My goal is 45)... anyway, to my reviewers:
To Angel-the-hedge: I'm glad you liked it ^w^
To Ern Estine 13624: Glad you're enjoying :)
To SilverLily6667: I tried to make it realistic, and get more into it. I prolly won't go into great detail about pregnancy classes, I'll probably just put that they went to them, because there's a lot I want to get in to this story. I may even hit my goal of 45 chapters XD On the other hand I may pass that goal ^.^'
To Rose: Lol, I'd enjoy summer vacation over reading too! XD But at least you got to read 2 chapters when you came back! ^w^ I was wondering where you went! :) Lol, glad you love the story ^_^ I look forward to your next review ^w^
And again, I do not own YGO or anything pertaining to YGO 3 Week Time Skip: Yugi is currently 6 months and 1 week into his pregnancy (GETTING SO CLOSE!) It's currently April and Yami and Yugi have been together for 10 months. (If I did my math right XD)
FDI
Chapter 36
Almost There
Yami heaved a heavy sigh, 'just one more day' he kept telling himself, then his project would be done. He hopped down off the ladder, pulling on his FDI jacket after putting away all his stuff. He had one more stop before he could go back to work. He finally gained up enough courage, and was close enough to done with his project that he could finally have the talk he'd been meaning to have. They still hadn't gone to get anything for the twins yet, the shopping trip got cancelled when it began raining.
He walked down the sidewalk, headed towards the cafe that was just down the street. The neighborhood he was currently in was peaceful, no noises but the sound of laughter as the children played. It was relaxing to be in such a neighborhood, his own neighborhood was noisey with crazy teenagers turning their music up so loud it vibrated the windows. He just wished his heart was as quiet and peaceful as the neighborhood, it was thumping in his ears and chest.
Yami opened the door to the cafe, finding his target easily. "Hey" he greeted "Thanks for agreeing to meet me."
"Thanks for asking me for coffee" Amun chuckled, leaning back in his chair.
"How are you doing Amun?" Yami asked as he sat down.
"I'm good. Getting in a lot of work. How are you doing Yami?"
"Well, the same I guess. We're really cranking in the work now that we have a new chief."
"Is your chief an old friend of yours?"
"Actually he is. We went to school together. In school it was him and my whole FDI crew except Mai, she transferred here from the US. Her and I bumped heads at first, but I took a bullet for her and she lightened up on me after that."
"You took a bullet for her?"
Yami chuckled "Yeah, I wanted her to see that I wasn't just some punk kid. That I would defend her just like I defended all of my friends."
"You really care about your friends don't you?"
"Of course. I know that they'd have my back if I were the one in danger."
"So, I know you didn't invite me out here to talk about your friends. What is it you really want?"
Yami swallowed hard 'Here goes' he thought to himself. "I want you to know that I respect you Amun. I also wanted you to know that I'd do whatever it takes to prove that I love your son. Even if I have to spend the rest of my life proving that. I know that no one will ever be good enough in your eyes, but I'm asking for your blessing, to let me show you that I'm willing to try."
"So you asked me out here to ask for my blessing?"
"Yeah."
"Did you already buy a ring?"
"Mhm."
"Can I see it?"
"Sure" Yami reached into his pocket, pulling out a small velvet box and handing it to Amun.
Amun opened it and his eyes widened a little "Wow." Inside the box was an Annello 14k white gold 1 ct TDW bridal ring set "That is beautiful Yami."
"It came in yellow gold, rose gold, and white gold. I just figured that the white gold would look better on Yugi's finger."
"I bet it cost a pretty penny."
"Not even half of what I spent on my current project."
"Project?"
"Sorry Mr. Motou, you'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out about that. Nothing personal, I just want everyone to see it once it's all done, and I don't want Yugi to know about it. It's a surprise for him. Which is why I'm asking for your blessing now."
Amun handed the box back to Yami and watched as he tucked it into his jacket pocket. Amun was quiet, for a long while, Yami swore his heart was about to pump out of his chest. Finally, after what felt like an eternity of silence, Amun smiled "You have my blessing Yami. Just promise to take care of my son and grandchildren."
"I will protect them with my life Mr. Motou. You have my word."
"Good. I look forward to that surprise tomorrow."
Yami chuckled "Good. I look forward to everyone seeing it. Thanks again for coming for coffee."
"Hey, no problem. So are you proposing tomorrow too?"
"Yep. In front of everyone."
"Good, I'll have my wife bring her camera."
The two of them chuckled as they walked over to the counter, Yami paying for their coffee before they left. "See ya tomorrow Amun."
"Later Yami." Yami ran towards FDI HQ, he was so pumped for tomorrow, now he just had to get Yugi to settle on baby names. Last he knew, Yugi had found a few that he'd actually liked, but that 'few' turned out to be twenty... Each...
Yami sighed as he walked through the door that evening. He was greeted with Yugi and his adorably round belly. "Well hello there my beautiful man. How are you feeling?"
"Nice try kiss ass. I feel fine. What took you so long?"
"I stopped to get you a surprise" Yami said, his arms behind his back.
"What'd you get me?" Yugi asked, placing his hands on his hips as a playful glare danced in his eyes.
"Well, there's this" Yami said pulling out a gallon of chocolate milk. "And then there's these" he said pulling out a jar of pickles. Yugi's smile grew brighter with every surprise "And then there's this" Yami chuckled pulling out a large bowl of ice cream.
"You spoil me. You know that right?"
"I do? I didn't think I'd done such a thing" Yami said playfully.
"Right" Yugi giggled.
"How are the twins?"
"Active as ever."
Yami got on his knees in front of Yugi, kissing his stomach before putting his ear to it. Yami closed his eyes and listened as the twins bustled around. Something pushed up the part of Yugi's stomach Yami was resting on and Yami chuckled. "Little shit" he said, rubbing Yugi's stomach gently. He stood back up and looked at Yugi "Narrowed down the names yet?"
"Yep. I have three. Each."
"Okay, let's hear them."
"Well, for the girl there's Izumi Kiyo, Akari Hoshimi, or Takara Yumi."
"Hm... I'm not to crazy on the I one..."
"Me neither. I like Akari the best."
"I agree. It sounds beautiful."
"Akari Hoshimi it is then."
"And the boy?"
"Yasu Isamu, Haru Hiroshi, or Yuki Ichiro."
"Hmmm... Akari and Yasu doesn't sound right, and neither does Akari and Haru. However, Akari and Yuki, I like the sound of those."
Yugi giggled "Then Akari Hoshimi and Yuki Ichiro it is."
"Good. You giving them mine or your last name?"
"I dunno" Yugi said softly.
"Do what you want Yugi. I want you to be happy."
"I am happy Yami. I'm happy with you. I just, I dunno. I'll decide when they get here."
Yami chuckled "You do that." 'Maybe I can help you with that tomorrow' Yami added to himself.
"C'mon, I'm tired. Let's go to bed."
"Okay." Yami held Yugi's waist, helping him up the stairs and into his pajamas so he could go to bed.
Me: My OC twins are finally named, because I was sick of keeping you all waiting, and we've gotta keep moving forward ^w^ So! Welcome Yuki and Akari, even though you're not here yet :)Okay, next chapter is Project Complete, where Yami FINALLY unveils his project :) AND THE PROPOSAL! WOOP! I'm so excited! I'm going to get started on it like yesterday! Wooooo! :D lol! Until next time ladies and gents! *waves* Goodbye! :)
Oh! And if you wanted to see the ring, just look up the name, it actually has a picture that contains all 3 sets (The gold, rose gold, and white gold) It's a very pretty ring ^w^ There's a lot of rings, but I clicked on the 'shopping' tab under google search and it was easier to find. It's the only one with a pic that has 3 different ring sets in it. The rest are only white gold I think... XD I don't really remember. It's like $1,600 something... So, it's very expensive...
