bopdog111: It's getting close isn't it?
Ulrich362: Yeah, it's getting very close.
bopdog111: Rose might be wanting to get it done.
Ulrich362: True... just a bit more though.
bopdog111: Let's see what's going on.

It was the eighth month of Rose and Riley's pregnancy and putting it lightly... things weren't going well. Mostly for Rose.
"Atem..." Rose whispered sadly.
Atem rubbed her lower back from her wheelchair. A few seconds passed before she cried out in pain only to start crying. "It hurts... when will it stop?"
"Just 1 more month Rose." Atem said taking her hand.
Suddenly Rose screamed in pain and tried to clutch her stomach. Atem softly rubbed her stomach taking her hand for her to squeeze. She started squeezing it before screaming again and starting to cry. Atem winced from the grip but fought through rubbing her back, and soon the pains stopped.
"Rose?" Atem asked only to notice she had passed out.
"Ah Rose!" Atem cried startled, "Riley!"
She walked into the kitchen. "What is it?"
"Rose passed out! Get some help." Atem told her.
Riley's eyes widened as she walked over only for Andy and Stephanie to start crying while Ashley started barking.
"Come on Rose. Hold on." Atem said to Rose holding her hand.
'Um... don't humans sometimes pass out because of intense pain?' Photon Archfiend asked.
'Worried, and overprotective husband.' Atem told him.
'Haven't you been through this already?' Chaos King Archfiend questioned.
'You'll understand if you get to where I am now.' Atem told him before rolling Rose to the installed elevator.
Ring Ring Ring.
Riley answered, "Hello?"
"Hello, is this the home of Mr. and Mrs. and Mrs. Atem Sakaki?" asked a male voice.
"Yes." Riley answered.
"Would it be possible for you all to come in as soon as possible regarding the trial of Mr. Sakaki's biological parents?" the man requested.
"Huh why?" Riley asked confused.
"I think it would be best if you were here in person." the man stated before hanging up.
Riley concerned thinks about it as Atem walked downstairs, "Riley?"
"Someone just called about the trial for your parents." Riley told him.
"What? Why?" Atem asked.
"I don't know." Riley admitted.
Atem gave thought before saying, "I'll call Yuya for him to watch you, Rose, and the twins."
"Well... ok." Riley nodded but she looked worried.
Atem soon knelled pulling up Riley's shirt, and laid his head against Riley's abdomen saying, "Your almost here. I can't wait to finally meet you."
He felt a gentle kick. He smiled kissing her stomach at her belly button.
Later...
Atem was at the courthouse looking around for who called.
"Atem Sakaki?" inquired a man in a suit walking over to him.
Atem turned over, "Yes. Did you call?"
"Yes, I'm aware it was quite a long time ago but I hope you remember the verdict of that trial?" the man asked.
"My parents were guilty, and my father had parole." Atem answered.
The man nodded. "Well... we have reason to suspect your mother may have been responsible for additional deaths in your family. It's not a certainty but... look at this."
He handed Atem a report detailing the brakes in a car being sabotaged leading to both occupants of the vehicle being killed in a crash... leaving their adoptive child in the care of her grandfather. Widening his eyes he asked, "Uh... The last name of this family is Shirogane right?"
"That's correct." the man nodded.
"Ah... T-This is the case of my cousin or the Detective Prince's parents!" Atem cried realizing this.
"It's possible... their deaths were premeditated by Carol James." the man told him.
"How did she do this?" Atem asked him.
"It happened long ago there's no way to be certain... I would understand if you don't but was she ever more willing to let you spend time with your aunt than normal?" the man asked.
Atem grunted before saying, "Thanks sir. But I'm gonna show this file to my cousin."
"She's seen it Atem."
Hearing that he looked. It was his grandfather only he looked disappointed.
"Oh... And she didn't take it well." Atem said handing the file back to the man, "But uh mind I ask why your here sir?"
"I am a detective, I do occasionally have to appear here." he mentioned before coughing weakly.
"Ugh h-hey you okay?" Atem asked taking his hand before patting his back.
"I'll be alright, but Atem... take care of the people close to you, understand?" his grandfather asked.
"I do always Pops." Atem told him.
His grandfather smiled hearing that. Atem patted his back before calling Naoto on his phone.
"Hey Naoto..." Atem trailed off, "I heard."
"Oh... I see." Naoto noted quietly.
"I'm so sorry Naoto..." Atem told her.
"It's... it's ok." Naoto replied.
"If you need anything involving it let me know." Atem told her.
"I will." Naoto said. "Atem... I'm sorry."
"What for?" Atem asked her.
"You had to live with her for years." Naoto answered. "You shouldn't have had to goo through with that."
"It's alright Naoto. I was able to get out from her." Atem told her.
"I know... I'll see you sometime." Naoto said before hanging up.
Atem also hanged up. Almost immediately his phone started ringing again. Surprised he answered, "Hello?"
"Atem, are you busy?" Celina asked.
"No. What is it?" Atem asked her.
"Well I was wondering if you mind if we came over." Celina mentioned.
"Of course. Rose will love that." Atem smiled.
"Are they doing alright?" Celina asked.
"Rose is complaining about getting too big but she's excited. Riley is also excited for her's. The twins are doing good." Atem answered.
"That's good. We'll be over in about a half hour." Celina mentioned. "See you soon Atem."
"See you." Atem said hanging up before turning to his grandpa, "Family calls, Pops. Why don't you pop in to have a visit?"
"I have a few matters to attend to but I'll try and stop by at some point." he mentioned calmly.
Atem nodded before waving bye walking off back to his house entering.
"Welcome home." Yuya smiled.
"Thanks for looking after them Yuya." Atem smiled.
"Anytime." Yuya smiled. "They're all upstairs, I think Rose is sleeping though."
Atem nodded before waving bye walking upstairs. He heard laughter from the twins room. He walked in at that. Andy and Stephanie were laughing while Riley made silly faces.
"You three are having fun." Atem smiled.
"Oh Atem, you're home." Riley realized.
"Yuri, Celina, and Mary are heading over." Atem told her.
"Oh, that's nice." Riley smiled.
"Yuya said that Rose is asleep?" Atem asked her.
"Showering actually, I helped her get settled." Riley answered.
Atem nodded before walking off to their bedroom.
"Riley? Is that you?" Rose's voice called.
"It's me Rose." Atem answered.
"Atem? Is everything ok?" Rose asked. "Riley said you had to leave."
"It... involved the trial on my real parents." Atem answered.
"Is everything alright?" Rose asked.
"It turned out that my mother was the one who had done the accident that killed Naoto's father, and step-mother." Atem answered.
"What?" Rose questioned in shock. "How... why?"
"I don't know..." Atem answered.
"She was a horrible person." said a voice from behind him. "I know she was your mom but... she was just an evil person."
Hearing that he turned around. It was Riley only she was frowning.
"I'm not sure if she is. I mean I know those things she done but... Would she really do those things if she wasn't fired?" Atem asked.
Riley frowned. "I don't know."
"Well now we shouldn't worry about that." Atem told his wives.
"I guess..." Riley admitted.
A few minutes later Rose was sitting on the bed only she looked sad.
"Is your shirt on too tight?" Atem asked her.
"No... I'm just thinking." Rose answered.
"Well if it's tight you can take it off." Riley told her.
"Maybe..." Rose noted only to sigh.
Atem sat on the bed rubbing her back. She smiled before closing her eyes and taking her shirt off like Riley suggested only to put a hand over her stomach and frown sadly. Atem watches her in a red bra with her pants on as he blushed before smiling, "You look amazing right now."
Rose smiled at that. "Well... if you want, in two months we can..."
She was interrupted by the doorbell. Riley walked to answer the door as Atem ran his hand over Rose's bare stomach.
"Riley, it's good to see you." Yuri smiled.
"Good to see you three too." Riley smiled.
"It looks like number three is doing well." Celina chuckled.
"Yep. Baby's a little sweetie pie." Riley smiled rubbing her stomach.
"That's good." Yuri smiled.
"Come in. Rose, and Atem are upstairs." Riley told them.
They nodded walking in. Meanwhile Atem was upstairs talking to Rose, "What were you gonna tell me?"
She blushed but smiled. "Well... we still have a lot to go before we get all 5700 right?"
That made Atem blushed before saying, "I-I want you, and Riley to be happy. If you want that much it will be tough but if it makes you, and her happy, then yeah."
"I want you to be happy." Rose admitted.
He kissed her, "I am."
Rose smiled. He then picks her shirt up saying, "If you feel this is tight during our time with them you can pull it up where the four will be seen."
Rose blushed. "Ok..."
Atem helped her put her shirt on before helping her on the wheel chair as he wheeled to the elevator where they were lowered to downstairs.
"... Would you like that?" Rose asked him.
"Huh?" Atem asked turning to her.
Rose was blushing. "While we're home...me not having a shirt... or even less..."
"Don't worry about that. You look amazing as always." Atem told her smiling.
'Atem... as a parent you can't be that dense.' Toymaker Archfiend told him.
'I know what she's talking about.' Atem told him, 'I'm just saying no matter how she looks she'll always be beautiful to me.'
'How does her appearance now effect whether or not you'd like it if while she's home she goes around shirtless or without anything?' Skull Archfiend of Hope asked him. 'Am I missing the connection there?'
"I mean I do like it but she shouldn't if it makes her uncomfortable, or embarrassed." Atem said out-loud to them which Rose heard.
Rose blushed. "I don't mind."
"Huh?" Atem asked turning to her.
Rose was blushing. "It's a little embarrassing but... well it's nothing you haven't already seen..."
"If it's embarrassing then you shouldn't." Atem told her, "But it's your decision."
Rose nodded. "Then... I will. It might help my nerves."
Atem blushed as they exited the elevator seeing Yuri, and his family was with Riley.
"Hi Atem." Yuri smiled.
"Hey guys thanks for heading over." Atem smiled wheeling Rose over.
"How have you three been?" Celina asked.
"Hurting." Rose answered.
"Should aunt Rose see the doctor?" Mary asked.
"No she's fine. It'll be okay sometime." Atem assured her.
At that moment though Rose cried out. He took her hand rubbing her back.
"Just a little longer." Riley mentioned.
Rose nodded weakly before closing her eyes. "One more month... just one more..."
Ulrich362: Well then.
bopdog111: Yep, Rose wants to be done with it.
Ulrich362: True, understandably so.
