A/N: Hello my dear fans! It sure has been a long while since I've updated, but I was working hard on this chapter update (which I honestly thought wouldn't get done) and I've FINALLY finished it, just in time for the TWO-YEAR anniversary (of this version)! TWO YEARS! Can you believe it? *throws blue and silver confetti*
Anyways, this monster chapter was practically the size of Texas (52 PAGES/NEARLY 29,000 WORDS), and I was so determined to finish it and honor my promise. (I had split it into two, but I saw people were skipping ch. 17. I wouldn't want y'all to miss a single moment.)
I would also like to thank my ever-loyal patron james. collins. 77770 for his idea to have "Love Story" by Taylor Swift play in the background at a sweet moment in this story, and for his review. I would also like to thank crimsonangel315 for their review. Both of y'all ensured the release of this monstrously wonderful update immediately upon finishing.
Also, we have not only one lemon in this chapter, we have TWO, and they are "Spah-cy!" As per usual I have marked the sections where they begin and end so you may skip them if you wish to not read them for whatever reason, and yes, they are graphic, and use clinical, anatomical terms.
And as usual, don't forget to review! New reviews= new chapters released as soon as they are done.
Enjoy!
Mokuba and Sophia had no idea what to do to get Seto out of prison. They tried reasoning with the guards, but to no avail, and Seto had told them not to use their money for bail, considering it would take a big chunk out of the money they had carefully rationed to get settled here until he could fix everything, and until after the babies were born, but it looked like soon they wouldn't have much of a choice. They all wished that Misty's family would allow her to come down here to visit, but that was a pipe dream at best. Seto was so miserable that he'd been having horrific nightmares the last three days, which caused him to wake up screaming and sobbing.
He dreamed that he was stuck here in this prison, for years, on some stupid charge, with no visit from Misty, like her family had convinced her to move on and forget about him. And then one day, after Mokuba and Sophia had finished their visit with their adult son, whom they had decided to name Vincent and who had Mokuba's thick black hair, Sophia's jade green eyes, glasses, and a body that was similar to his and Mokuba's lean, tall figures, he had two other visitors: a young man who looked just like him but with glasses and a shy personality; and a beautiful young woman who looked almost exactly like Misty with long, wavy chocolate brown hair, fierce yet soft brown eyes, a petite yet curvy body and a fiery but sweet personality, just like her mother. Was this Josh and Angelbella, his children?
"Hello daddy," the young woman greeted.
"Hi dad," the young man greeted.
"Josh? Angelbella? Is that you?" Seto asked. Josh and Angelbella nodded. Seto was stunned.
"I can't believe you're here!" Seto exclaimed and felt such pain in his heart that his eyes welled with tears. He missed his children's lives!
"Yes, we are. We wanted to meet you," Josh told him.
"Where's your mother?" Seto asked, wondering where his beloved Misty was.
"She's at work right now," Josh answered.
"Where is she working?" Seto asked. "Why hasn't she come to see me?"
"She really hasn't had time… and she is working at a clinic," Angelbella answered.
"That's bullshit!" Seto exclaimed outraged. "Why has she forgotten me?!" His heart broke more and he sobbed. WHY?!
"Grandma and Grandpa made her forget, even though she really wanted to remember you and come to you, and she had to take two jobs a few weeks after we were born to support us. Any moment she had in which she was off, she was exhausted, but she would spend that time with us. Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Wes kept telling us not to come, that you were dangerous, but we decided to sneak away and come get you out," Josh explained and Angelbella showed him the bail receipt. He hugged them tightly and sobbed against them. He couldn't believe Misty's family would do that to her, and hinder his own children from coming to see him all these years. He felt them hug him tightly.
"What really happened?" Angelbella asked softly. Seto took a few minutes to compose himself, and explained everything, and Josh and Angelbella shared his anger.
"Let's go home daddy," Angelbella offered. Seto nodded and followed them out after changing. They took him to their car, and Angelbella drove while Seto sat in the front seat, and Josh sat in the back.
"Tell me everything! Please!" Seto begged. Angelbella and Josh explained that they were in high school, and were in the top of their class and were about to go to college in a few months, and Josh was going to be a math major with a minor in technology, and Angelbella was going to be an arts major, and she was extremely popular, but thanks to Misty, her grandparents, and her Uncle Wes, she had remained grounded and humble. She also told him about their frugal childhood and how hard Misty had to work to give them everything they had. Angelbella explained that Misty had gone to school again to get new skills, while balancing her main job, her family, and responsibilities, and got a job in the clinic she works now, working 12 hours a day, about 6 days a week.
"Tell me more about your mother! Did she marry someone else? Is she happy?" Seto inquired eagerly.
"No, she's not really happy. She tries to show us she is, but it's a façade. She is so exhausted, she's aged twice as fast, and she hasn't wanted to be with anyone else. She's lonely, and I think she pines for you. Her memory of you is fuzzy, but she knows your name, and we've seen her staring at pictures of you wistfully and then she looks away sadly. She's been so stretched thin, she's gotten sick, but she can't stop, or she thinks our world will shatter if she does. I don't know how much more she can take. We need you in our lives to help us," Angelbella described despondently. Seto sighed gloomily. His beloved Misty had essentially turned into a work zombie just like he had been before he met her, and she was exhausted, miserable, and sick, all because her family kept her apart from him and she had to work to support their children as a single mother. It was good her parents and brother did help take care of Josh and Angelbella though.
"Mom should be getting off soon," Josh chimed in. Angelbella took Seto to their house, and showed him around. An hour later, a haggard, zombie-like Misty walked into the house with wrinkled light blue scrubs, panda-like dark circles under her zombie-like chocolate eyes, a pale complexion, and her hair in a messy, silvery with hints of chocolate brown ponytail. Seto gasped in horror as he saw how aged she looked for a woman who was about 47 years old. She looked closer to 60 or even 70.
"Misty!" Seto exclaimed. For the first time in what looked like a long time, Misty looked…alive as she heard him say her name.
"Seto? Seto Kaiba?" Misty asked and looked at him. She was immediately swept into his embrace and she held him tight and then fell limp in his arms. The combination of her stress, exhaustion, illness, depression, and now joy had overwhelmed her heart.
"MAMA!" Angelbella and Josh screamed in horror and were frantically trying to revive her.
"MISTY!" Seto exclaimed in horror and heartbreak, feeling his world shatter as he held her tight, and then he felt his chest tighten and he was gasping for air.
"DAD!" Angelbella and Josh screamed and were even more frantic, starting CPR on both of them.
Seto woke up screaming and sobbing.
"Calm down! It was just a nightmare! It was just a nightmare! It was just a nightmare!" Seto's inner self kept repeating, hoping to help calm him down. Seto took deep breaths and eventually calmed down knowing he was only here about three days, and Misty would fight to see him, hopefully soon, and that she wouldn't allow the events in his nightmare to happen like that. That logic comforted him, but the nightmare still left him a bit shook up. He didn't understand why his subconscious would come up with such a scenario.
"It's probably just the pain of her family keeping her from you run amok," Seto's inner self pointed out.
"That makes sense, but it still sucks," Seto griped.
"I know it does," his inner self concurred empathetically.
"Please, God, if you're up there, send her to me, again." Seto prayed.
"I already told you, a plan is cooking. Be patient!" the ethereal voice commanded in his head. Seto sighed partly with relief, partly with exasperation in that response. He just wished it wouldn't take so long.
October 25th, Seto's Birthday (Later that morning…)
Mokuba and Sophia had gone to Mi Tierra, and were astounded by how colorful and vibrant it was, and the food was pretty good too. Plus, since they had a bakery, they decided to get some pan dulce (sweet bread) in a paper bag, a to-go coffee with cream and sugar, and a little piece of cake in a Styrofoam container that they had also put in the bag, then took the bus to the detention center, as they had been doing for the last three days, and were taken to the visitor's center. Seto was soon brought into the visitor's room and sat across Mokuba and Sophia at the thick, glass-paneled wall, and picked up the phone.
"Hey Mokuba, Hey Sophia," Seto greeted with a small smile and noticed the white paper bag and a to-go coffee cup from Mi Tierra. "What's that?" Seto asked curiously. Sophia then got the cake out of the bag and opened the Styrofoam container, revealing the chocolate cake with sprinkles and handed it to the guard to give him, along with the coffee cup with the creamer and sugar. The guard then went into the inmate side of the visitor's room and handed Seto the Styrofoam container and the to-go coffee cup with the cream and sugar, and a plastic fork from the cafeteria.
"Happy Birthday Seto," Mokuba and Sophia greeted. Seto smiled a little.
"Thank you Mokuba, thank you Sophia," Seto replied as he took the cake and coffee. He wasn't much for sweets, but he would definitely make an exception today. He opened the Styrofoam container with the cake and saw it was a yellow cake with chocolate frosting and beaded sprinkles. He smiled and speared the cake with the fork and savored each bite, and washed it down with the coffee he mixed to his preference. This was heaven. Mokuba and Sophia smiled seeing him enjoy his birthday cake and coffee, and they ate the pan dulce they had picked for themselves. After they finished their pan dulce, Mokuba had another surprise for Seto. To cheer Seto up a little more, Mokuba decided to have a duel with him through the glass, just for fun. Seto was glad that the guards didn't take his deck; it was an extension of his person, and they figured it was harmless enough for him to have to occupy himself with.
Seto happily dueled with Mokuba while Sophia watched fascinated, as she sat in the chair beside Mokuba. A guard had walked up and saw them dueling and chuckled a little bit and came into the visitor's room on the inmate side.
"What's the ETA on you finishing that game of yours, Kaiba?" the guard asked.
"Why?" Seto asked, a brunet eyebrow slowly climbed over his cobalt eye.
"Someone's waiting for you," the guard announced. Seto's eyebrow climbed higher in curiosity, and Mokuba and Sophia turned to look at the guard curiously as they heard the guard's voice through the receiver. They were just as surprised by this other visitor and wondered who it could be.
"Someone's waiting for me?" Seto echoed incredulously. He wasn't expecting any other visitors, unless somehow Misty's family had brought her there, which was unlikely. "Whom?"
"It's a surprise, but hurry up and finish the game. You're getting out of here," the guard announced.
"I am?" Seto asked incredulously. "Mokuba? You didn't use the rationed money to bail me out, did you?" Seto asked Mokuba.
"No, he didn't, but the person waiting for you did," the guard confirmed.
"Seto, we can duel later, let's clean up," Mokuba suggested and they picked up their cards and put them in their deck boxes.
"I wonder who it is," Sophia piped up.
"I don't know, but we owe a million thanks to whoever it is who got me out of here," Seto replied.
Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia then followed the guard out of the visitor's room. Mokuba threw the empty bag and coffee cup away, and went with Seto to get the rest of his personal effects and clothes. After Seto changed, the guard led them towards the lobby, and when the guard opened the door Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia gasped and their eyes went as wide as saucers, as they saw who was waiting for them, sitting on a bench in a pool of sunshine peeking through some blinds that gave an ethereal glow to the person's back. It was MISTY! And she was BY HERSELF, listening to some music on an iPod and singing softly along to Josh Groban's "My Heart Was Home Again."
Misty glanced up a moment when she noticed that they were staring at her. She smiled and then turned off her iPod and slowly got up and put her iPod in her purse. As she was doing that, Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia instantly strode down the hallway to the bench and stood in front of her. This couldn't be real! However, they discovered it was indeed real.
"Misty! You're really here! Alone!" they exclaimed happily.
"Yep!" Misty replied with a wide smile.
"But, how?" Seto asked as he realized she risked a LOT to come here, by herself, and bail him out. He knew her family wouldn't have let her drive, and they wanted her to stay home, where she would be "safe."
"I called and got a Lyft and the driver brought me here. Mokuba and Sophia messaged me and told me where exactly you were. They didn't know about my plan. The Lyft driver didn't want to leave me here, but I insisted," Misty answered.
"Where did you get the money to bail me out?" Seto inquired.
"I had money saved up in my account from when I suppose I worked with you. Before I came here, I called to find out how much it would cost to bail you out and I went to the bank the last couple days to make sure I had enough to get you out and to do what I wanted to do," Misty explained.
"What is it that you wanted to do?" Seto asked, his curiosity piqued.
"That's for me to know and you to find out," Misty replied coyly. Seto smiled and hugged her on the side and held her.
"May I rub your belly?" Seto requested. He didn't want to freak her out, but he did want to feel their babies moving. Misty nodded in consent and Seto put his hands on her belly and felt HIS babies moving and smiled in awe. Mokuba and Sophia also took a turn feeling Misty's belly and feeling their future niece and nephew moving. Sophia also let Misty touch her belly and feel her nephew moving. Misty smiled in delight.
"This is the best birthday I've had since I was a child," Seto remarked. Misty was actually a bit surprised to learn that it was Seto's birthday today.
"Today's your birthday?" Misty asked in surprise. Seto nodded with a smile. Misty tried to search her memory to determine if he or Mokuba had told her before that today was Seto's birthday, but she couldn't remember. "Happy Birthday," Misty replied and burned the date into her memory. His birthday was about to get a lot more special.
"Thank you, my love," Seto answered and kissed her. Misty blushed as he kissed her, but kissed back. Mokuba and Sophia smiled. "Let's get out of here," Seto suggested.
"Totally!" Mokuba and Sophia agreed enthusiastically. Seto immediately grabbed Misty's hand and intertwined his fingers with hers and kissed her hand. Misty blushed again and leaned against him as they exited the jail and Misty indicated that she wanted to get onto a bus.
"Where are you going?" Seto inquired curiously.
"I already told you, 'that's for me to know and you to find out'," Misty reminded them. When a bus came by and stopped at the stop, Misty boarded the bus and whispered in the driver's ear where she wanted to go, and the bus driver told her which bus to board. "Thank you," Misty bade and got off the bus and diligently looked for the bus they were supposed to ride. Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia were watching her curiously. Misty cheerfully sat on the bus bench with Sophia as their guys stood behind the bench. As they waited for the bus, they watched cars pass. It was a nice day, so some drivers and passengers had their windows down. One car passed with its windows down, and it happened to be Taylor Swift's "Love Story" on the radio. Misty smiled, it was a perfect song right now for what she had planned. When their bus came, Misty boarded with Sophia, Mokuba and Seto behind them. Misty paid her fare, while Sophia, Mokuba, and Seto inserted their monthly passes and sat on the benches near the front of the bus. Seto sat with Misty with his arm wrapped around her waist, holding her close on one bench, while Mokuba and Sophia mirrored the gesture on the opposite bench. When Misty saw they were by City Hall on Nueva St., she pulled the cord, and they got off.
"Why are we going to City Hall?" Mokuba asked curiously.
"You'll see," Misty answered as she held Seto's hand and started leading the way when the crosswalk allowed them to cross. Mokuba followed holding Sophia's hand. They thought it was odd she really wanted to go to City Hall. Misty then led them inside and found the map of the building next to the marquee with the floor and room numbers listed. Misty glanced at the map and marquee for a moment and found where she was supposed to go. When they got there, Misty led them to the proper line.
"What are we here for?" Seto asked. Misty turned and gave him a "Really?" look with sharp, chocolate eyes.
"…Ok, I guess we'll wait and see," Seto relented.
The line moved at a steady pace, and within 10 minutes they got to the front.
"How can I help you?" the clerk had asked her.
"I would like to get two marriage licenses please," Misty requested. Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia gasped and stared at her.
"Two?" the clerk asked confused.
"Yes, one for me and my fiancé here, and another for his brother and his fiancée," Misty clarified. Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia gaped at her.
"Alright. Does everyone have their ids?" the clerk asked. Misty, Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia got their passports out and showed the clerk. The clerk looked over the passports and nodded in approval. They had met the age requirements, and their paperwork was in order.
"Ok the fee is $132 for both, and have y'all completed the premarital course, Twogether in Texas?" the clerk asked.
"No," Misty answered, and Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia shook their heads.
"Alright, you will have to have a 72-hour minimum waiting period before y'all can get married, and it's good for 30 days before the license expires and is nullified," the clerk explained.
"Not a problem," Misty agreed and paid the fee. The clerk then got the two marriage licenses and went through the paperwork signing process for them for Misty and Seto, and Sophia and Mokuba in order to obtain them, and then presented them with the licenses in a tan document envelope. Misty then got information on a Justice of the Peace/judge to marry them, knowing that her minister friends would tell her family and ruin her plan. As they exited the building, Seto, Sophia, and Mokuba were ready to barrage her with questions. They were utterly shocked that she had done this.
"WE'RE GETTING MARRIED?!" The three of them exclaimed collectively.
"Yep," Misty answered with a smile.
"WHEN?!" They demanded.
"I thought Halloween would be a perfect time to get married," Misty answered nonchalantly.
"That's in six days!" Seto pointed out.
"Oh good, you can count," Misty teased wickedly.
"How are we going to pull it off in six days?" Mokuba asked.
"Well, we call the Justice of the Peace or the judge, and a photographer; make arrangements to get married somewhere on the Riverwalk, probably on Marriage Island; we get ready; then get married; then go to dinner and check into separate rooms at the hotel y'all are staying in; and enjoy our wedding night," Misty explained breezily. She had it all planned out over the last 3 days. She was still upset that her family had kept her and Seto separate. True, they meant well, but she needed him, and so did the babies, and he looked like he needed her.
"Why did you get two marriage licenses? I hadn't even proposed to Sophia yet," Mokuba asked.
"Sorry for taking that moment away. I got carried away. You still can propose to her, officially; the marriage license is good for 30 days, so you can get married by Thanksgiving if you still want to use it. I figured you had by now, and the way you two are so in love, I figured it was obvious you were meant to be together, so I figured we could all get married on Halloween," Misty explained. Mokuba and Sophia couldn't stay mad at her. That was actually kind of sweet what she did.
"I wanted to save up and give her a proper ring," Mokuba explained.
"Mokuba, I don't need an expensive ring, I would be happy with any ring you wanted to ask me with," Sophia reassured him.
"You deserve a ring with a real jewel," Mokuba protested.
"That's sweet, baby, but all that matters is that it's coming from the heart," Sophia assured him. Mokuba reluctantly nodded and kissed her and got on one knee.
"Will you marry me Sophia?" Mokuba asked.
"Of course, I will Mokuba!" Sophia exclaimed happily, her jade green eyes shimmering like a forest alight with lightning bugs. Mokuba smiled and kissed her feeling like his soul was propelled to the sky on a rocket.
"Alright, let's have a double wedding on Halloween," Mokuba agreed with a smile. Wow, he couldn't believe all four of them were about to get married on HALLOWEEN, in SIX days! Sophia was giddy with ecstasy knowing that they would be forever bonded together, officially, as a family. Misty and Seto smiled at their joy, and Seto held her close. He was so overjoyed, he felt like he was riding a Blue Eyes White Dragon in the sky with Misty at his side, but… then his joy crashed and hit a wall with an epiphany: what about her family? Her family meant everything to her. He didn't mind having the small, intimate ceremony if it meant he would marry her, but they had originally planned to have a traditional wedding here in San Antonio so her family could be part of it. Why had she planned to get married without them?
"Wait… what about your family?" Seto asked.
"What about them?" Misty asked.
"You don't want them at our wedding?" Seto gasped stunned. "They mean everything to you."
"True, they do, and I love them dearly, but I have a feeling they would stop it," Misty explained.
"But I don't know if it would feel right without them there," Seto protested. As if he needed to be out of favor with her family any worse than he already was.
"I am going to have my family there. You, Mokuba, Sophia, and the babies are my family too," Misty pointed out. Seto smiled. That was a sweet thought.
"I think your parents, brother, the rest of your relatives, and friends will be upset they couldn't be part of it" Seto told her.
"We can have another ceremony with them later, but for now, let's let it be just us," Misty insisted. "We should have been married 5 months ago anyway, and they have kept us apart long enough. The fact is I need you, the babies need you, and you need me."
"You're right," Seto concurred. He was astounded how much thought she had put into this and how serious she was about this plan. He caressed her face and gazed into her feisty chocolate eyes and kissed her softly. "I love you so much," he whispered into her ear.
"I love you too," Misty replied.
"I do have a question though," Seto asked
"Shoot," Misty encouraged.
"Why did you pick Halloween?" Seto asked curiously.
"I've been told it's my favorite holiday, and that does feel true. This month and all the Halloween decorations I've seen make me happy, so why not get married on a day when I already am happy? Also, it's close to your birthday, ergo a belated birthday gift." Misty reasoned.
"How do you follow Christianity and love Halloween?" Seto asked curiously. That was quite a contrary belief system.
"It's not mutually exclusive. Halloween was a big part of my childhood and presently, so it's partly nostalgia, especially when wearing costumes. The other part is that it's a fall festival for the harvest, a kind of Celtic New Year. It's also a day when the living and departed can mingle a little, so it would be nice to feel my grandma and Lulu's presence, along with other dearly departed members, for a short time," Misty explained.
"I see," Seto nodded as he listened.
"Either way it's going to be amazing," Misty declared.
"It sure is," Seto agreed, and Mokuba and Sophia chimed in their agreement.
"Alright, how about we get some lunch here on the Riverwalk?" Misty suggested.
"Yeah! That sounds great!" Mokuba and Sophia exclaimed.
"Sure," Seto agreed with a small smile.
"Alright birthday boy, where do you want to eat?" Misty asked with a playful grin as she pulled up the River Walk Guide website for a listing of all the different restaurants on the Riverwalk on her phone. "There's Italian, Tex-Mex, American, Barbecue, Steaks, French, Seafood, British," Misty described.
"Let's get something Texan or Tex-Mex," Seto suggested. He figured Mokuba and Sophia should have a taste of some good Texan/Tex-Mex food.
"Alright, let's go to CasaRio," Misty suggested and started leading the way. After a hearty lunch and dessert, after which the staff had sung Happy Birthday in their own way to Seto, Misty decided to take Mokuba and Sophia shopping for rings in a few nearby jewelry shops. They looked at the San Antonio website for a list of jewelry stores in the area and they took buses and streetcars to look at the rings that were offered for a reasonable price. The rings were nice, but not quite what they were looking for. Misty looked at the time and realized she had to get home before her mother did from work, plus she and Sophia were quite tired; they had done a lot of walking, and the babies were moving around a bit. She hugged Sophia, Mokuba, and Seto good-bye for now.
"This was the best birthday I've had. Thank you so much. I love you," Seto told Misty as he held her and her belly in his arms. He gingerly rubbed her belly, and Misty had to brace herself onto him as the babies moved in response. Seto smiled happily and Misty moved her shirt up, and Seto kissed her belly. "Daddy loves you two, too," he told his active babies. "You be good for mommy," Seto instructed and gave Misty's belly a gentle pat. The babies continued moving around in response to hearing their daddy.
"Keep the marriage licenses safe," Misty instructed and winced a little at the mild pain her beloved babies were causing from their movements, and the pain in her feet.
"Of course, I will," Seto promised.
"We'll make sure they stay safe too," Sophia and Mokuba promised. Misty smiled.
"Alright, great, I'll be back tomorrow, and we can resume shopping and making arrangements tomorrow," Misty promised.
"Awesome! We'll see you tomorrow!" Mokuba bade.
"Make sure Sophia gets some good rest and make sure you rub her feet and her belly," Misty instructed.
"Oh, I will," Mokuba promised. Sophia blushed hearing the two of them.
"I wish I could do the same for you," Seto told her and caressed her face.
"I know," Misty acknowledged and kissed Seto to placate him. "In time, you'll get to do that too," Misty promised.
"I know," Seto agreed and gave her another kiss. A few minutes later, a Lyft driver picked them up, dropped Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia at the Holiday Inn on Cesar Chavez, and then took Misty home. Misty paid the fare, and thankfully her mom wasn't home yet. She hurried inside and was greeted by an over-excited Shadow and Lucky, who were sniffing her. Shadow was so excited to smell some familiar scents on her, scents that she had not smelled in months. She was wheezing with excitement.
"Yes, I know, I went out. Take it easy baby. Do you smell daddy, Uncle Mokuba, and Aunt Sophia?" Misty asked Shadow, who was wiggling so happily. Her human daddy, uncle, and auntie were here, but not in the house. When Shadow and Lucky were done sniffing her, Misty let them out and fed them, and then started making dinner for herself and her mom. She groaned a little from her aching feet and belly, and couldn't wait to sit down and eat, and relax. Her mom came home and Shadow and Lucky greeted her happily.
"There's my boy! There's my girl!" Misty's mom greeted the dogs and pet them, and then came to the kitchen where Misty was still cooking dinner, stir-fried chicken and spaghetti noodles.
"Hey babe, how was your day?" her mother greeted with a kiss on Misty's cheek.
"It was ok, nothing special, just did my therapy exercises," Misty lied, partially. Part of her therapy did include physical exercises and being around familiar people to help jog her memories.
"Good," her mother replied and looked over the dinner to see how much time was left before it was done. Thankfully, she didn't have to wait long. She put some chicken and spaghetti noodles in a bowl and added a vinaigrette dressing to her noodles. Misty could feel Josh and Angelbella moving more as if they were hungry.
"Hold on," Misty told Josh and Angelbella as she put her serving in a bowl and drizzled some Italian dressing on her chicken and spaghetti noodles and poured herself a glass of iced tea.
"How are Josh and Angelbella?" Misty's mom asked her as she ate on the couch in front of the TV.
"Active," Misty answered and winced a bit. Her mother nodded in understanding.
"That's natural," her mother responded.
"Hopefully they'll calm down after dinner," Misty replied as she sat down with her food and iced tea. Even as she ate, Josh and Angelbella were still pretty active. When she finished eating, she rinsed her bowl and put it in the sink and cleaned up the remains that were on the stove and went upstairs to relax. She got out her foot massager and got some pain relief lotion. She rubbed the lotion on her feet and her achy joints and turned the massager on and melted in relaxation.
"Would've been nice if Seto could massage our feet and belly, like Mokuba is doing for Sophia," her inner self griped.
"I know… and I know he'd love to be doing that too," Misty figured.
"Six more days and he can," her inner self pointed out. Misty smiled fondly as she thought about it, and she got butterflies. She also couldn't believe today was his birthday either. She saved it in her calendar on her phone so she'd never forget it. Sure, she was a savant for remembering birthdays, but she wanted to be absolutely sure she'd never forget when his birthday was. She also added Sophia and Mokuba's birthdays to her calendar so she wouldn't forget theirs either.
After a few minutes on the massager, Misty turned it off and put it away and settled in to watch some TV and do some web browsing to help Sophia and Mokuba find a reasonably priced wedding ring set. She recalled Sophia had said that she wanted a silver band with a ruby earlier that day and decided to see what kind of rings she could find. She looked at the James Avery website to see what they had. They had nice gemstone rings that would work as a wedding band for Sophia, and they also had beautiful regular wedding rings, both of which were pretty reasonably priced. While perusing around and doing a filtered search for ruby rings, Misty found a ring with a slim, beaded silver band with a ruby gemstone flanked by two small hearts on either side of the ruby. She shared the link with Sophia on her Facebook messenger and Sophia immediately sent her approval.
"That's pretty, and a good price!" Sophia wrote back. "Let's get that one."
"Ok! ^_^" Misty wrote back.
"Is there one for Mokuba?" Sophia inquired.
"Hang on, I'll look," Misty answered and looked at the regular wedding bands. Sure enough, she found a matching silver, beaded band that looked almost exactly like Sophia's, save for the ruby gemstone and hearts. Misty sent the link to her.
"That's perfect," Sophia approved.
"Mokuba: Hey Misty, those are awesome rings!" Mokuba chimed in, borrowing Sophia's phone to send his approval.
"Alright, I'll order them. We can pick them up tomorrow," Misty planned and got their ring sizes.
"Alright. What time are you coming?" Sophia asked.
"I'll leave around 9:00 and take the bus over there, or you can meet me at Ingram Mall," Misty suggested.
"Mokuba: we don't know which buses to take to get there," Mokuba responded. Misty then sent the link for the VIA bus service to help them plan their trips.
"Go to trip planner and tell them where you want to go. They'll tell you which buses and at which times," Misty instructed.
"Mokuba: thanks! This is super helpful! We can see more of San Antonio tomorrow!"
"Indeed," Misty agreed.
"Ok, so we're looking at the bus schedule and it says if we leave around 9:00 a.m., we should get there to that mall about 10:00 a.m.," Sophia explained as they checked out the itinerary.
"Alright, I'll meet you at the bus stop across the street from the JCPenney's," Misty instructed.
"See you then!" Sophia replied.
"Mokuba: oh, btw, Seto wants to talk with you," Mokuba wrote.
"Tell him he can add me to Skype or he can talk with me on here," Misty replied.
"Mokuba: Okie dokie," Mokuba replied. As soon as he finished with that, Misty got a notification of an add request from Seto on Skype, and on Facebook. She immediately accepted and got a message from Seto on Facebook.
"Hey my love," Seto wrote.
"Hi love What's up?" Misty responded with a smile, feeling a bit giddy.
"I wanted to see how you and the babies were doing tonight, and let you know you are on my mind," Seto wrote. It was strange how he was feeling as giddy as a gaggle of teenagers about to see their favorite band in concert.
"Well, it's not really that strange; you haven't seen her in quite a while, and you had quite the reunion today," Seto's inner self pointed out.
"That's true," Seto agreed as he waited for her response.
"Well, I'm tired and the babies are quite active tonight, and didn't settle down even with dinner, nor with me relaxing," Misty answered.
"I'm sorry honey," Seto wrote back.
"You should be, you put them there, lol" Misty teased. Seto chuckled and sent "lol" and a kiss emoji. Misty smiled and sent a kiss emoji back. "At least we can see each other again tomorrow," Misty added to cheer them both up.
"Yeah, I can't wait," Seto responded cheerfully. Considering he'd been without her for 5 months, he was willing to happily take whatever time with her he was given until they were married and would be almost always at each other's sides. Misty smiled.
"Me too. Do you have a ring for the wedding?" Misty asked. If they were going to get rings tomorrow for Mokuba and Sophia, they may as well get one for him too if he didn't have one.
"Oh, yes, I have one my love," Seto assured her.
"That's good," Misty replied. "Is there anything else on your mind?"
"I just wish I could hold you and see you," Seto lamented.
"I know. I wish I could cuddle you or go on video chat with you, but I don't want mom to catch me. At least we can see and hold each other in the morning," Misty responded.
"That's true. I can't wait. I love you. Rest well and sweet dreams," Seto bade with a kiss emoji.
"I love you too, and you rest well and sweet dreams for you too," Misty bade with a kiss emoji
"Oh, believe me, I'll definitely have sweet dreams tonight," Seto promised. Misty sent a smile and they both got off their messenger. Misty ordered the rings and arranged for a pickup at the store for the next day and then relaxed and went to bed.
Meanwhile, in the hotel room, Seto lay back on his bed with his head cradled in both hands and he sighed contently. He had reunited with his love, and they were about to be married soon. His heart raced wildly knowing she was going to officially and legally be his partner forever. She was risking and sacrificing so much to do this. He appreciated it, but knew she probably wanted her family to be there. Her family was going to be so upset she did this, especially without them present, but he also knew that they had been keeping them apart out of fear of him hurting her and the babies, so he didn't feel TOO guilty. Right now, he was too happy to care. He never really enjoyed celebrating his birthdays, nor Halloween, but it was different now; he had a reason to look forward to them now.
The next morning…
Once her mother left for work, Misty, Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia got showered and ready to catch their buses to Ingram Park Mall, and once they arrived at the bus stop and carefully but quickly crossing Wurzbach, they greeted each other happily. Seto immediately wrapped his arms around Misty from the side and kissed her enthusiastically. He missed her last night, and even though he knew he'd see her this morning, the distance stung. Misty was surprised at first, but she kissed back eagerly.
"Someone's happy to see me," she observed playfully. Seto smiled at her and caressed her face.
"Damn right I am," Seto agreed. Misty smiled.
"I'm glad to see you, Mokuba, and Sophia too," Misty replied and then gave Mokuba and Sophia as best a hug she could manage.
"You should've seen him last night, he was so over the moon as you talked with him. He was practically running to the bus stop this morning. Sophia and I could barely keep up," Mokuba informed Misty. Misty beamed and chuckled.
"What? I missed you. We've been apart for so long except for yesterday and when I saw you before that wedding, and I couldn't wait to spend more time with you," Seto replied nonchalantly. Misty smiled wider.
"You are so sweet," Misty complimented him and felt the twins moving. "Josh and Angelbella are saying good morning."
"Hello my active little children," Seto greeted and rubbed Misty's belly. Josh and Angelbella moved eagerly, making Misty wince. "Ok, calm down, calm down," Seto tried to tell them. Eventually, they calmed enough so Misty could walk. Seto held Misty's hand, while Mokuba held Sophia's. They browsed through the mall, particularly in Misty's favorite shops and some other shops that Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia wanted to check out before going to James Avery to pick up the rings. They stood in line with their ticket and browsed the catalogs while they waited. When they approached the five-foot wooden counter to a cheerful brunette woman in her 30s wearing a nice button-up blouse, black slacks, and a silver-engraved nametag that read Lucy.
"Hi, how can I help you?" Lucy asked.
"Hi, I'm here for a pickup for Misty Robinson," Misty replied as she showed the email with her order number.
"Ah ok," Lucy replied as she looked up the order number and found the location of her order. Lucy opened the drawer and rifled through the plastic bags containing the jewelry, found Misty's order, and brought the red velvet-lined "stage" to present it to them. Lucy set the "stage" down and emptied the bags onto stage. The rings shone brightly under the bright lights, and Mokuba and Sophia picked them up and admired them.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Sophia gasped as she admired her ruby, beaded silver band with the hearts flanking the ruby.
"This is such a nice band, and it shines so nicely," Mokuba agreed.
"Oh yes, we take great pride in that," Lucy agreed with a smile. "How about y'all try them on to make sure they fit?" Mokuba and Sophia nodded and tried them on their left ring fingers. Of course, it was a perfect fit. "That's excellent! They look good on y'all. So, when is the wedding?" Lucy asked to make conversation.
"Halloween," Misty, Sophia, Seto and Mokuba answered together.
"Wow that's coming up really soon. I bet that will be exciting," Lucy predicted.
"Oh yes it will be," Misty answered with a smile. It still made her proud that she set the wedding up on her favorite holiday, and it felt so rebellious. Mokuba and Sophia took off their rings and Lucy wiped them clean and put them in the fabric pouch and the signature rust-orange box with the gold James Avery candelabra logo. Lucy rang up a polishing kit to go with the rings and put the box and the cleaning kit in an ivory James Avery bag with red tissue paper. Misty put it in her big purse for safekeeping for now and thanked Lucy for her help before they left to grab a bite for lunch. They got a couple of Japanese to-go boxes and some drinks from Sarku Japan in the food court, and shared with their loves.
"Wow this is pretty filling," Sophia and Mokuba remarked.
"It sure is. It's pretty good price for this much food. It's one of my favorite food places here in the food court," Misty pointed out.
"It's also not bad of a taste. Not quite like home, but it'll do," Seto observed.
"Yeah," Misty, Mokuba, and Sophia agreed as they ate, sometimes teasing each other with the food. When they finished and washed up in the restroom, they resumed their shopping and spending time with each other until it was time for Misty to beat her mother home. They walked down to the bus stop, and Seto sighed heavily and he held her in a bear hug from behind for a good, lingering moment and gave her a passionate kiss to show how much he was going to miss her tonight. He also rubbed her rippling belly and told Josh and Angelbella to be good for their mommy.
"I'm going to miss you three," Seto whispered in Misty's ear.
"I know honey, but at least we can spend more time together tomorrow. We have a lot of errands to do tomorrow downtown, so I'll be heading there tomorrow," Misty bade and handed Sophia the James Avery bag. Sophia stuffed it into her purse and held Mokuba's hand.
"Thank you, Misty, for getting us the rings. I can't wait to wear it," Sophia told her with a hug.
"Yeah, thank you so much Misty," Mokuba agreed and also hugged her happily. "I'm so glad we got the rings now. What's next tomorrow?"
"Sophia, do you have a dress to wear?" Misty asked. Sophia shook her head. It was going to be tough to find a pretty wedding dress that would accommodate her growing, belly.
"Ok, we'll find something tomorrow, and we need to get a judge or a minister, put an order in for some flowers, and get a photographer," Misty listed. Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia nodded in understanding. Speaking of dress, Misty was going to have to try on that silvery dress in her closet to make sure it still fit and would accommodate her belly. "Alright, what time should we meet tomorrow? 11:00? Noon?"
"11:00, Seto Mokuba and Sophia agreed unanimously.
"Alright 11:00 it is," Misty agreed. "Alright, I'll see y'all tomorrow," Misty bade and saw her bus come by, with Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia's bus coming up right behind hers. Misty boarded, showed her pass, and took a seat near the front while Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia boarded their bus. They rode the buses home and Misty walked up the street with her purchases. At least today was a little easier than yesterday. She sat down for a little while, did a few chores, and worked on dinner, and later relaxed while chatting with Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia for a bit. She did have a delayed response for a few minutes while she tried on the silvery halter-collared, sweetheart neckline, nearly-backless, gem embedded, wedding gown that had a white and icy blue ombre under-layer skirt, and detachable silver and icy blue chiffon "wings" that encircled her wrists and buttoned to the collar of the gown. On her left side at the waist, there was an icy blue rhinestone star clip that marked where the silvery layer of the dress split to reveal the white and icy blue ombre under-layer skirt. She tried on the magical dress and struggled with the invisible silver zipper on the side seam just a little, but managed to get it up all the way. She took a deep breath to ensure it was comfortable, and thankfully, it was only slightly tight around her baby bump.
"Oh, thank God!" Misty thought relieved that her dress still fit ok. She looked in her jewelry box for a necklace to complement the gown, and she was deciding between her starburst necklace or the Blue Eyes White Dragon.
"Is this really even a question? Look who you're getting married to- the keeper of the Blue Eyes White Dragons, plus you look like the Queen of the Blue Eyes White Dragons," her inner self retorted.
"Okay Blue Eyes White Dragon Necklace it is," Misty agreed and tried it on and looked at her reflection in her mirror and beamed; it looked perfect. All she needed was silver shoes, her hair done, makeup, and her veil and it would be perfect. She quickly got her dress off and put in its garment bag along with the necklace, and changed into something comfortable.
"Misty? My love? Are you there?" Seto had written when he didn't hear from her.
"Sorry honey, I was trying on my wedding dress to make sure it still fit," Misty replied.
"Oh ok. Did it still fit?" Seto asked.
"It was just slightly tight around my baby bump, but I can make it work for our wedding," Misty answered.
"I bet you looked stunning in it," Seto predicted. Misty smiled.
"Yeah. Wait until I have makeup and hair done. It'll knock your socks off," Misty replied.
"I can't wait to see it," Seto answered with a smile emoji. Misty sent a smile and kiss emoji back.
"Me either. Well, I better get some rest. We've got another big day of planning tomorrow," Misty bade.
"Ok love. I can't wait to see you tomorrow. Good night. I love you, and our babies. Sweet dreams," Seto bade.
"I love you too. I can't wait either. Sweet dreams to you too," Misty bade with another kiss emoji before logging off and going to bed. Seto also logged off and went to bed with another smile plastered on his face.
The next day, Misty took the bus downtown and delegated some responsibilities to Mokuba and Seto to take care of while she and Sophia went shopping in Market Square for a makeshift wedding dress. Seto and Mokuba reluctantly agreed to take care of the tasks Misty delegated to them, but they wanted to stay with Sophia and Misty.
"No, no, we're getting a wedding dress for Sophia. The grooms aren't allowed to see the wedding dress until the bride walks down the aisle," Misty insisted.
"Why?" Seto and Mokuba asked.
"It's tradition. Just please get the tasks done," Misty requested.
"Alright," Seto and Mokuba grumbled and planned their errands along the bus schedule and route. Thankfully it was just four errands; they had to get a judge to officiate the wedding, find a photographer, make reservations for Marriage Island, and order a couple small bouquets. Later, they could make arrangements at the hotel for two separate but adjacent rooms. They went to Riverwalk Floral Design on N. Presa street and ordered a couple small bouquets of white calla lilies, white roses, and blue delphinium, and matching boutonnieres and paid for them. Then they went and made the reservations for Marriage Island on Halloween for noon, and thankfully they didn't have to get a judge since Marriage Island had ministers to perform the ceremony on hand, as well as photographers. Seto and Mokuba paid for the package with the Marriage Island rental, a non-denominational minister since he knew Misty was a Christian, but she didn't identify with any particular branch of Christianity, and an hour-long session with a photographer. It wasn't a bad price for $746.55, for a weekday wedding, and especially since they were nice enough to do a double wedding. Seto and Mokuba also informed them they have the marriage licenses ready to go already. Thankfully it didn't cut into their budget too much, and they were glad they saved a little money with the bouquets and boutonnieres.
"Plus, she's been paying for a lot of the stuff too," his inner self pointed out. "She paid for Mokuba's and Sophia's rings, lunches, your bail, a bus pass to get here, Lyft rides, and the marriage licenses, and she's shopping for Sophia's wedding dress. This is pretty fair to take care of the flowers and ceremony," his inner self added.
"That's true," Seto nodded. He was so glad that she had saved the money he paid her for working with him to help with all this stuff.
"I'm so glad we have it all squared away now. How about we check out the Alamo and maybe the Ripley's across the plaza while we wait for them to call us?" Mokuba suggested.
"Sure, we can do that," Seto agreed and they walked to the Alamo and enjoyed walking along the grounds soaking up the history presented in the Alamo, and took pictures. When they finished, they went across the plaza to the Madame Toussand's Wax Museum and Ripley's Haunted Adventure and had a blast.
Meanwhile…
Misty and Sophia were browsing through the racks at Goodwill hoping to find a wedding dress or at least a dress pretty enough to wear to the wedding, but they didn't find anything that would fit Sophia.
"Don't despair, we'll find something," Misty reassured her. Sophia nodded and continued to enjoy shopping with her. This was just as fun as the last time they went dress shopping. Sophia wished she could have worn the ice blue gown they had gotten for her as her bridesmaid's dress to use as her wedding dress, but it wouldn't accommodate her growing, pregnant belly. They went to Market Square to see if they could find a dress really cheap. Sophia fell in love with a white, Mexican, halter sundress with beautifully embroidered blue flowers. The dress looked small, but the shopkeeper had assured her it would stretch out and fit and offered her a dressing room to try it on. Misty went in and helped her into the dress and Sophia was amazed at how comfortable it was; the shopkeeper was right- it did stretch to fit.
"You look so pretty! Almost like a brunette Marilyn Monroe with glasses and a Mexican halter dress!" Misty told her. Sophia giggled at the comparison and she felt so pretty and actually kinda sexy. She knew Mokuba would love this and wouldn't be able to take his eyes off her, and it would be easy to get in and out of.
"I love this dress!" Sophia exclaimed.
"Perfect! We'll take it!" Misty exclaimed and then helped her into her normal clothes and held the dress for her and Sophia bought it with some of her money she had saved. She was so happy it was a good price. They then went and looked at tiaras, veils, and some cute shoes, and thankfully one of the shops there in Market Square had them.
"Wow this Market is really cool!" Sophia told Misty. She remembered Misty talking about it when she and Seto came home after Lulu passed away, but experiencing it was so much cooler.
"It sure is. Alright, we got veils, tiaras, shoes, and your dress. Anything else you want to look at while we're here?"
"Sure," Sophia agreed and they continued wandering around both the Farmer's Market shops and the shops in El Mercado. Afterwards, they called Seto and Mokuba and let them know they had stopped at Mi Tierra for lunch. Seto and Mokuba told them to wait there and they would join them. A few minutes later, Seto and Mokuba had arrived at Mi Tierra and they hugged and kissed Misty and Sophia, held them, and rubbed their bellies.
"Hi honey," Misty and Sophia greeted Seto and Mokuba.
"Hi beautiful," Seto and Mokuba greeted back.
"So, did y'all get everything set up?" Misty asked.
"Sure did," Seto said proudly as he showed her the reservation and flowers receipts. Misty looked at them and smiled. "Wow! They actually offered all that? That's great! Saves us time and money having to go all around getting it all taken care of, and that's perfect they were willing to do a double wedding for us without charging extra."
"Yep! We sure got lucky!" Mokuba piped up.
"Indeed," Misty agreed. They then got seated and ordered food and chatted. Seto then paid for the meal and Misty saw that it was time for her to go. Seto sighed heavily. He hated this part. The only thing that made him feel better was knowing they'd chat again tonight and he'd see her again tomorrow.
"Shall we plan what we're going to do tomorrow in our chat tonight? Anything else for the wedding?" Seto asked as he held her close and rubbed her belly.
"No, I think we got it covered. I think tomorrow we can do some more exploring, for fun," Misty replied. Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia beamed.
"Sounds fun!" Sophia and Mokuba explained. Misty smiled.
"It sure does. Let's talk about our plans for it tonight; I gotta get home before mom does," Misty replied and gave Seto a kiss and a hug.
"I can hardly wait," Seto told her as he held her. Misty parted after a minute and caught a bus to Ingram, and then to home. Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia took their time, and then went back to the hotel and made arrangements to have 2 separate but adjacent rooms. Seto took the other room and paid for it, allowing Mokuba and Sophia some privacy as a couple.
Once again, Misty made it home before her mom, and took care of her chores and dinner while feeling how active Josh and Angelbella were, and was mentally planning activities for them to do tomorrow. It was a good thing her mom would be home later tomorrow night considering she would be visiting her father/Misty's grandfather, so she, Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia would have more time together. Saturday, however, she would not be able to spend time with them; she would have a tough time with her plan to get downtown with her mother present, and she and Wes had gotten invited to their longtime friend Danny's birthday/Halloween party. She knew Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia would miss her that day, and she was going to miss them too, so she was going to have to make tomorrow count long enough to hold them until Sunday. She figured she could take them to some of the museums downtown, and if they were up for it, the missions, or maybe the Tower of the Americas and La Villita. She figured the museums including the Institute of Texan Cultures, the Tower, and La Villita would be less exhausting than going to the missions, at least for her and Sophia. When her mom had come home and they had dinner, Misty asked if she could take her and Wes to Danny's house on Saturday for the party, and her mom agreed without hesitation; her mom liked Danny. There were times when Misty was sure that her mom and dad wanted her to end up with Danny, but he made it clear to her since high school that he saw her more as his sister than a romantic partner. Not that it mattered; she belonged with Seto, and Seto was the one who made her happy, and whom God obviously matched her with. She thanked her mom and then went to go relax upstairs and chat with her love while her mother watched TV and played with the dogs.
"So, what is the plan tomorrow?" Seto wrote to her on Facebook Messenger.
"I was thinking we can check out some of the culture. We can check out the museums, the Institute of Texan Cultures, the Tower of Americas, La Villita, and work from there. I figure Mokuba and Sophia can experience some of San Antonio's rich history and culture," Misty explained.
"Sounds like a good plan. Do you think we'll have time for all that tomorrow?" Seto asked curiously.
"Yes. Mom is going to visit grandpa after work and will be home late, so we'll have more time together tomorrow. However, Saturday I can't come," Misty explained. Seto's cobalt eyes widened just a little and he didn't like that she wasn't going to come on Saturday.
"Well at least we get more time tomorrow, but why can't you come Saturday?"
"For one, mom will be around and will hinder me if she knew I was leaving to see you, and secondly, I made plans with Wes to go to my old friend Danny's birthday/Halloween party," Misty explained. Seto sighed to himself. The first part he understood, but hated, and the second part, he felt a little irritated that she was going to spend time with this Danny.
"Ok. We'll miss you, but I'll miss you, Josh and Angelbella the most," Seto told her, and decided to ask who Danny was.
"Who's Danny? How do you know him? Do I have to worry about him? Did you have any feelings for him?" Seto peppered her.
"Your eyes must be glowing green with jealousy," Misty teased as she read his questions. Seto sent a scowl emoji and Misty typed LOL.
"Honey, you've got nothing to worry about with him. He's just an old friend I've known since high school. My family knows him. Yes, I did have a crush on him in high school, but he didn't feel the same way; he saw me as like a little sister and not a romantic partner, and it doesn't matter, I'm marrying YOU," Misty assured him. Seto was relieved, but he still wasn't sure.
"…Ok," Seto responded.
"What?" Misty demanded.
"I still am not sure about him," Seto admitted.
"What are you not sure about?" Misty demanded.
"Your feelings for him, and what if he decides he wants you?" Seto admitted.
"Honey, I'm marrying YOU in about 4 days. He told me he doesn't feel romantic feelings for me. I don't feel romantic feelings for him. I am meant to be YOUR wife and soulmate. The babies and I need YOU, and you need us. He is just an old friend," Misty insisted and sent a gif of someone with a serious face.
"Alright. Thank you, my love," Seto replied and sent a kiss emoji. He felt better.
"You're welcome. Don't get jealous of any guy," Misty commanded
"Ok," Seto responded. "I love you, and the babies."
"We love you too," Misty replied and felt the babies moving a bit more making her wince. "The babies wish you were here. They're moving a lot," Misty informed him.
"I wish you were here, or I was there, too." Seto replied. Misty sent a smile and kiss emoji, and Seto sent one right back. "Well my love, I'll let you rest and relax. Are we meeting at 11:00 tomorrow?"
"Yes. I'll come to the hotel and we can go from there," Misty assured him.
"Ok, sounds good. Good night. I love you. Sweet dreams," Seto bade.
"Good night. I love you too. Sweet dreams," Misty echoed and they logged off.
The next day, after her mom had left for work, Misty caught the bus to the hotel, where Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia were waiting for her and hugged her. Misty then took them to check out the museums downtown, and they stopped for lunch at Whataburger before going to the Institute of Texan Cultures and getting a history lesson on what life was like for early Texans.
After that, they went and explored the fountains at the base of the Tower of the Americas and decided to have an impromptu, fun and romantic photo shoot set against the gorgeous fountains, capturing each tender and sweet moment with their phones, before riding the elevator to the observation deck at the top. Misty never got tired of seeing the panoramic view of her city at this height, and though Seto had been here before, he enjoyed seeing it again. Mokuba and Sophia were seeing the view with fresh, virgin eyes and thought the view was spectacular. After they finished on the observation deck, they rode the elevator back down, experiencing a little bit of the uncomfortable pressure pop that came from coming down high heights. Misty and Sophia felt their babies kick a bit from the pressure change, which they obviously didn't like. Seto and Mokuba rubbed their loves' bellies to see if that would help calm them down, and eventually the rhythmic ministrations calmed the babies down.
When they had come down to ground level, they realized it was already 4:00. Since Misty had some extra time today, Misty decided to take them to watch a glass-blowing demonstration at Garcia Art Glass. She always enjoyed watching the glass be blown into fantastic, gorgeous artworks. It was so mesmerizing. Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia also agreed that it was mesmerizing to watch. When that particular demonstration was done, they looked around the gift shop at the glass creations that were for sale and admired them all. Mokuba bought Sophia a glass bracelet with money he had saved, and Misty and Seto smiled at how excited Sophia got with it. Seto had decided to keep this place in mind for later, when he could get a commission done featuring him and Misty, holding the babies and being overlooked by a Blue Eyes White Dragon, and something else for Mokuba and Sophia and their baby. It was too expensive now, but when he had his money back, he would be excited to commission that.
They got something for dinner, and they still had a bit of time left, so they did the quick, 30-minute ghost tour, especially since it was so close to Halloween. Eventually, the time came to where Misty had to go home now. She rode the streetcar bus with them back to the hotel, and Seto summoned a female Lyft driver to take her home after giving her a hug, kiss, and a belly rub. Mokuba and Sophia hugged her, they all told her that they would miss her tomorrow, and then she went home, and took care of her dogs who were so happy and relieved to see her.
Misty let them out and fed them and played with them and relaxed. She was glad she was able to have as much fun with them as she did today. She then went up to her room and settled down. When her mother came home later that night, she greeted her and lied about her activities for that day. Misty went back to her room with her sweet Shadow and shut the door and was looking for a costume to wear to her friend's party, within her closet. She set out some of her ideas on her bed, but as she stared and pondered at which costume to wear, she kept being drawn to her bright yellow chiffon dress with a pleated overlayer that made her look like a sunny Greek goddess. Then she got an idea. She could be Leto, the Greek goddess of motherhood, and mother to Apollo and Artemis. In order to indicate who she was, she created a paper sun and a paper moon, and glued them to safety pins to pin to the pleated overlayer of her dress. She didn't think people would get her costume right away, so she wrote "Josh/Apollo" on the sun, and "Angelbella/Artemis" on the moon. She also made herself a nametag saying Leto with a fancy, handwritten font using gold metallic markers, and gold glitter glue, and decorated the nametag with hand-drawn, golden, laurel leaves and Greek swirls along the edges. She was actually quite proud of how this came out. She was tired, and then went to bed.
Saturday, Oct. 29th
Misty woke up to a good morning Facebook message from Seto, and she smiled as she read it.
"Good morning my love. I miss you so much. I hope you have fun at the party. Show me some pictures," Seto wrote in his message.
"Good morning my love. I miss you too, but at least we will see each other tomorrow afternoon, when I can show you pictures from the party. I wish you could be there too, but I don't want mom or Wes to suspect anything and ruin our plans. If you want, you can take Mokuba and Sophia to the other missions or you can go to Rivercenter Mall and go check out the movies, you can go to some of the other museums, the zoo, Brackenridge, The Pearl area," Misty messaged back.
Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia had decided to take the bus to Lulu's Café to share and eat the massive, cinnamon roll that made the café so famous. Seto remembered when he and Misty came here when they were playing tourist, and how the name Lulu made her sigh heavily, knowing she was about to lose her baby Lulu. He had seen a waiter carrying the ginormous cinnamon roll, and he figured he'd have to come back here and check out that cinnamon roll, and today seemed like a good enough day to do it. Seto ordered it right away, along with some coffee for him and Mokuba, and Sophia ordered some chocolate milk. As the waitress took their order, Seto heard his messenger notification and looked to see who it was. When he saw that it was Misty, he smiled wide.
"Did Misty reply?" Mokuba asked, figuring that's why his brother was smiling wide.
"Yep, and she gave us more suggestions for things to do today," Seto answered.
"Like what?" Sophia asked.
"Well we can check out movies at Rivercenter Mall, go to the missions, see the other museums, go to the zoo, Brackenridge, the missions, or The Pearl area," Seto suggested.
"Hmm, I guess we can go see the missions," Mokuba suggested.
"They sound cool," Sophia agreed.
"Alright, missions it is, and we can see from there," Seto agreed and then messaged her back.
"We'll probably check out the other missions today, after breakfast, here at Lulu's Café. I wish you could be here with us, and I wish we could be at the party with you too, but I understand about not wanting to mess up our plans. What are you dressing as?"
"I'm dressing up as Leto, the Greek goddess of motherhood. She was the mother to Apollo and Artemis. And aww, you're at Lulu's? Are you getting the cinnamon roll to share?"
"Oh yes we are, and that costume sounds great," Seto replied.
"Lucky. That sounds really good right now," Misty replied enviously.
"We'll save you a piece for tomorrow," Seto promised.
"Aww thanks honey. Well, you have fun today. I love you," Misty replied.
"I love you too, and we will, but it would be more fun if you were here," Seto told her.
"I know. At least tomorrow isn't too long," Misty replied.
"Yeah," Seto agreed and they bade each other a "see you tomorrow, I love you." Seto then turned to his brother and Sophia. "We need to cut the cinnamon roll into quarters; Misty said she wanted a piece of it, and I promised we'd keep it for her."
"Ok," Mokuba and Sophia agreed. "Is it really that big? Sophia asked curiously.
"Yes, it is," Seto confirmed. The waitress brought their drinks, and then a few minutes later, brought the ginormous cinnamon roll and some small plates. Seto asked for to-go box, and then unwrapped his silverware and cut the cinnamon roll into quarters, and served Mokuba and Sophia their portions, then himself, and put Misty's portion in the to-go box. Mokuba and Sophia's eyes boggled at how big their portions were, and dug in.
"Mmm! This is so good! I hope I can finish all of this!" Mokuba exclaimed.
"Me too!" Sophia and Seto agreed.
They savored each bite, paid for their food and drink, caught a bus to their hotel, put the cinnamon roll in Seto's room, and then caught the bus again towards Mission Trail to go visit the missions. Afterwards, they went to the zoo and Brackenridge, and the Witte Museum. They had fun, but wished Misty was there.
Meanwhile, Misty had gotten up, used the restroom, let the dogs out, fed them, and grabbed a pumpkin empanada, one of her favorite kinds of pan dulce, from the bag her mother had brought home last night after visiting with her father/Misty's grandfather. After finishing her empanada, Misty got something else to eat since Josh and Angelbella were being pretty active and had demanded more food. After she had finished eating, her mother had come downstairs. She gave her mother a kiss on the cheek and went upstairs to relax, with Shadow following her.
She spent the day relaxing, but about 8:00 p.m., she started to get cleaned up and dressed in her sunshine yellow dress. She pinned the paper sun and moon to the chiffon overlayer that draped over her large baby bump, and then pinned her nametag over her heart, and started applying gold-toned makeup to her face, and some berry-red lipstick. When she finished, she truly felt like the goddess of motherhood she was dressed as. She got her purse together, and then got in her mom's red Nissan Rogue. When they picked up her brother, Misty smiled; Wes had said he didn't plan on dressing up, but he borrowed their dad's Mr. Incredible costume and dressed up.
"Wes, you look good," Misty complimented him.
"You sure do babe," their mother agreed.
"Thanks mom, thanks Misty," Wes replied as he got in the Rogue. Wes then looked over Misty's costume. "Yours looks good too. That was a good idea doing Leto," Wes complimented her.
"Thank you. I thought it made perfect sense," Misty replied with a smile. She knew her brother, a mythology buff, would appreciate her costume. They followed the GPS directions to her friend Danny's house, and got out of the car. Their mother told them to call her when they were ready to go and encouraged them to have a good time.
"Thanks mom," Misty and Wes said quickly and walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Their friend Danny, dressed in a Logan (Wolverine) costume, answered the door and let them in.
"Hey Danny," Misty and Wes greeted.
"Hey! Who are y'all?" Danny greeted enthusiastically.
"It's us, Misty and Wes," Misty replied.
"Oh! Hey! It's so good to see you guys! I didn't even recognize you two!" Danny exclaimed happily as he gave them bear hugs. "Those are great costumes! Misty, that's a great idea incorporating the babies as part of your costume."
"Thank you," Misty and Wes replied. Misty beamed with pride and Danny introduced them to his roommates. Misty asked if they could take pictures, to which Danny happily agreed to. After taking pictures, Misty noticed there was a DJ setting up a karaoke screen.
"Ooh Karaoke is going to be fun!" Misty exclaimed.
"It sure is," Danny agreed with a chuckle. Wes rolled his hazel eyes.
"Oh lord," Wes muttered under his breath.
"Oh shut up," Misty reprimanded him.
"You and I are going to have a duet," Danny told Misty with a smile.
"Sure!" Misty agreed enthusiastically. In the meantime, she grabbed some pizza and a bottle of water. She ate and mingled with the other guests as they started to arrive. A little while later, Danny and Misty did do their duet. Danny had suggested a song from the Little Mermaid, but Misty pointed out there wasn't much of a duet from any of the songs, and she knew he was referring to a time when she dressed as Ursula for his costume, belated birthday party a year or 2 ago. Misty suggested "I Put a Spell on You," but it didn't work out as well as she and Danny would have thought, but at least it was fun.
She took turns with the other guests doing different karaoke songs, and was having a blast. Misty took pictures, and had the DJ take pictures of her during her turns. At midnight, they brought out Danny's birthday cake that was lit with a set of sparkler candles in the shape of 30. Misty took pictures, they had cake, and then Danny and his roommates handed Misty and Wes a set of Best Costume ribbons. Misty and Wes pinned the ribbons on, took pictures with them on, and then it was time to dance.
They had such a fun time, but then they started to get tired, so they called their mom and then waited for her to pick them up. It was a great party, and Misty was proud of herself for keeping Seto, Mokuba, Sophia, and the wedding a secret, which meant the plans were still safe. Misty and Wes's mom then pulled up a few minutes later and Misty and Wes bade everyone a quick goodbye before getting in the Rogue.
"So, did y'all have fun?" their mother asked.
"Oh yes, it was a blast. We got a set of Best Costume ribbons, and they even had karaoke," Misty replied happily.
"Oh lord," their mother retorted.
"Hey, I'm not that bad," Misty protested.
"Well I'm glad you had a good time," their mother replied changing the subject.
"Yeah it sure was," Misty and Wes agreed. Their mother then took Wes home, and then took Misty home. They let the dogs out once more, and Misty went upstairs, got a t-shirt and some shorts, and then took a shower to wash off the sweat and makeup. She felt refreshed as she came out, and then got settled into bed.
Sunday, Oct 30th
Seto had texted her another good morning message.
"Good morning my love. We had fun yesterday going to the missions, the zoo, Brackenridge, and the Witte, but it would've been more fun with you. How was the party? I can't wait to see you this afternoon. What time are you coming?" the text read. Misty smiled giddily.
"Good morning honey. I'm glad you had a fun time, and yes it would've been awesome if I was there with y'all. I missed y'all. The party was so much fun! I can't wait to show you the pictures! Wes and I got best costume ribbons, there was karaoke, and dancing! And I can't wait to see you this afternoon either. It should be about 4:00 when I'm able to go there, depending on what time the communal family birthday lunch is over and how quick I can get everything ready to go, and traffic," Misty responded.
"Wow sounds like a great time. Alright, 4:00 sounds good. I'll be waiting. I love you, and the babies," Seto replied.
"See you later! We love you too," Misty answered and added a kiss emoji. She did her business, let the dogs out, fed them, and got something to eat, and then she and her mom started getting ready to go to the birthday lunch for everyone with October birthdays at Saltgrass Steakhouse. When they were ready to go, Misty and her mother got into the Rogue, and then picked up Wes, and headed to the restaurant, where most of her family was waiting. She greeted her aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandpa with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, as was customary, and chatted with them a little, making sure to keep Seto, Mokuba, Sophia, and the plans for later and tomorrow a secret. Inside her head, she was preparing herself for a confrontation with her mother, who was definitely bound to see her leaving with a suitcase, and wondering what she'd say. More of her family members arrived, they greeted each other, and then they were all seated, started ordering food and drinks, and were conversing cordially about normal things. The food was served, then the cakes, and the gifts were distributed to the proper recipients. Misty and Wes's mother paid for hers and Wes's lunch and hers, and then shortly after everyone had squared away their checks, they bade each other farewell with another customary hug and kiss on the cheek. Misty and Wes's mother then led them to the Rogue, and they got in and Wes was dropped off at his and Misty's father's house, and then went home.
Once Misty and her mother had gotten home, her mother went upstairs to change and get comfortable, and start getting her laundry together. Misty crept into the garage where her suitcase was stored, got her suitcase, and snuck it into her room and shut the door. She put her suitcase on the bed, and started packing her wedding dress, tiara, veil, shoes, and a week's worth of clothing and shoes, her vitamins, jewelry, her camera, chargers, some movies, nail polishes. When she heard her mother go downstairs, presumably with a load of laundry, and she heard her mother go into the garage where the washing machine and dryer were, Misty came out of her room, went to her bathroom, got her makeup, hair iron, coconut oil, facial cleansing scrub, makeup removers, nail polish remover, cotton balls and q-tips, and anything else she'd need. She put them in a plastic bag and put them in her suitcase. She mentally went through her checklist to make sure she had everything she needed to stay with Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia for a week. She had decided to pack some of her beauty stuff and some romantic comedy movies so she and Sophia could have a girls' night in to get beauty prepped for tomorrow, while Seto and Mokuba could have a guys' night. When Misty was sure she had everything, she got some money ready, and ordered a Lyft, then she carried the suitcase downstairs and got her purse.
"Where are you going?" her mother demanded. This was it…
"To stay with Seto, Mokuba, and Sophia for a week, at their hotel," Misty replied. She was ready for this.
"What?! I don't think so!" her mother exclaimed.
"Oh yes I am," Misty insisted. "I have a Lyft coming to get me, and I'm going,"
"No, you are not! And where do you even have the money to pay the Lyft driver?" her mother demanded.
"I have money, and yes, I am. I'm 29 years old, and you can't stop me if I want to go!" Misty shot back.
"HE'S DANGEROUS!" Her mother yelled.
"NO, HE IS NOT! WE ALL SAW THE VIDEO! HE WAS ANGRY THAT BASTARD HURT ME AND COULD HAVE HURT THE BABIES!" Misty shot back angrily and tears welled her eyes from the rage. "HE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT SWEET TO ME, AND I AM GOING TO SPEND TIME WITH HIM, SOPHIA, AND MOKUBA, AND THEN SHORTLY AFTER THAT WE WILL FIND A PLACE TO RENT FOR A FEW MONTHS! YOU, WES, AND DAD HAVE KEPT ME FROM THEM LONG ENOUGH! THE BABIES AND I NEED HIM AND HE NEEDS US! HE HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING DESPICABLE! HE BOUGHT YOU THE DAMN COURTSIDE SPURS TICKETS, WES THE PHOTOSHOP AND LESSONS, AND FOR DAD, ARCHERY STUFF! NONE OF Y'ALL FOUND ANY FAULT WITH HIM! HE STAYED HERE ALL DAY WITH US WHEN LULU WAS DYING AND HE PAID FOR HER SERVICES AT THE VET WHEN WE PUT HER DOWN, AND FOR HER ASHES! HE CAME ALL THIS WAY BACK FOR ME! HOW DOES THAT READ AS DESPICABLE?! AND IF YOU HAD BEEN IN THAT ROOM WHEN I WAS HURT, WOULDN'T YOU HAVE GONE BALLISTIC AND BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THAT BASTARD FOR HURTING YOUR BABY GIRL AND YOUR GRANDCHILDREN?!" Misty screamed as tears streamed from her eyes. Her mother was silent as Misty laid out all those points like spikes. She would have been blind with rage if she had been in the room when that asshole had hurt Misty and beaten the shit out of him, and so would Wes and her ex-husband. "AND IF YOU CAN'T RESPECT HIM, ONCE HE HAS THE MONEY BACK, I WILL GO BACK TO DOMINO AND I WON'T COME BACK AGAIN, EVER, AND THE MOST OF A RELATIONSHIP YOU WILL HAVE WITH JOSH AND ANGELBELLA IS THROUGH SKYPE! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!" Misty added. Her mother gasped and her chocolate eyes widened like saucers.
"Are you serious?" her mother asked. She felt her heart break a little at that implication.
"Oh yes, I am," Misty replied. "I won't allow my children to be raised with your animosity towards their father and his brother when they did nothing wrong. "I love you and the family, and I really don't want to have to do that, but it's your choice," Misty replied with a steely calm. There was a brief pause that felt like hours until her mother finally relented.
"…Ok," her mother replied. Misty hugged her mother tight.
"Thank you. I love you. I didn't want to have to do that, but I had to. I'll be back in a few days. Please take good care of Shadow," Misty told her.
"I love you too, and I'll take good care of her, please be safe," her mother replied. Misty kissed her cheek, and got a notification that her ride was there. She got down to Shadow and gave her a petting and kissed her head.
"You be a good girl for grandma, ok?" Shadow licked her face happily and wagged her tail. Misty smiled and then got her purse, keys, sunglasses, and her suitcase and went out to the driver. The Lyft driver helped put her suitcase in the trunk, and helped her into the car.
"Where to ma'am?" the driver asked.
"The Holiday Inn on Cesar Chavez, near Market Square," Misty requested.
"Yes ma'am," the driver replied and started driving. Misty then looked at the time and it was 3:45, and she messaged Seto to let him know that she was on the way, and would be there in a half hour.
"Okay honey. See you soon," Seto replied and then grabbed his room key and went to sit in the lobby. He had just gotten back a few minutes prior from picking up the bouquets and boutonnieres from the florist and had stored them as instructed.
About 20 minutes later, the Lyft driver had arrived at the hotel. Seto saw the car pull up and he got a luggage cart and came outside, while Misty paid the driver and was getting out. Seto immediately ran up to her after leaving the cart on the curb near the car, and he helped her brace herself as she got out with her purse. The driver popped the trunk and helped Seto get her suitcase out.
"I thought you'd have more luggage," Seto thought surprised as he saw she only had one suitcase.
"I figured this would be enough for now. We can get more of my stuff from my mother's later, and Shadow," Misty replied. The Lyft driver disappeared.
"Ok. How is Shadow?" Seto asked.
"She's as happy and energetic as usual. She enjoys smelling me when we spend time together. She knows y'all are here, but she just doesn't see y'all. I think she misses y'all," Misty replied. Seto smiled.
"I miss our hyper furball too," Seto joked. Misty chuckled and held his hand, while his other hand rolled the suitcase behind them up to their room. Misty then noticed that Mokuba and Sophia weren't with them.
"Are Sophia and Mokuba in their room?" Misty asked.
"Actually, they are having a romantic picnic by the Tower of Americas," Seto replied. Misty smiled.
"Sounds nice," Misty remarked and they got to their room about 10 minutes later. They weren't in any hurry. Once safely enclosed within the confines of their room, Seto pulled her into his arms for a tight side hug and kissed her passionately. Misty held him and kissed back with equal fervor.
"I missed you three so much yesterday," Seto whispered as he rubbed her belly, earning some movement, which forced Misty to sit down on the bed. Seto had her sit near the head of the bed and sat in front of her and rubbed her rippling belly. He was always fascinated by how much they moved, particularly in response to his voice. He happily talked to Josh and Angelbella, and they responded with different intensities. Misty smiled as she watched the "conversation"; it was so cute, and she endured the pain the responses caused. The more they bonded with their daddy, the better.
After a while, Misty was hungry, and the babies started moving a bit irritably like they were hungry too.
"Ow… I think it's dinner time…" Misty announced.
"What are you hungry for?" Seto asked.
"How about Mexican?" Misty suggested.
"Mi Tierra?" Seto offered. He didn't want to go too far from her.
"Sure."
"Do you want me to go get some and bring it, or should we both go over?" Seto asked.
"We can go," Misty replied as she slowly got up. Seto helped her up and got her purse for her, then got his room key and wallet. He held her hand and they left the room, making sure it was secure, and walked the few blocks it took to get to Mi Tierra. They were promptly seated, ordered iced teas, and perused the menu. When their server came back, they ordered. Misty and Seto gazed at each other lovingly and felt so connected. They couldn't believe that tomorrow they were going to be husband and wife.
"I'm so excited about tomorrow," Misty told Seto.
"Me too. It's like a dream come true. It doesn't feel like it's real. I've been working so hard and so long for us to be together again, and married, and now that it's finally here, it feels like a dream I'm afraid to wake up from. I've had so much misfortune in my life, and I couldn't bear to lose you or the babies again," Seto explained solemnly.
"Well, you won't. I'm going to do everything in my power to stay with you, and be the best wife and mother I can be," Misty promised. Seto smiled and kissed her.
"I love you," he whispered in her ear.
"I love you too," Misty echoed. "So, we need to think of a plan once we're married," Misty began.
"Alright," Seto agreed.
"We will need to find a temporary home, a rental for a few months," Misty began.
"I was kinda hoping we could go back to Domino," Seto replied.
"We will… in a few months. The doctor strongly recommended I don't travel unless absolutely necessary, and I'm sure she'd say the same about Sophia. And I don't think we're ready to go back anyways. Plus, I do want my family around when Josh and Angelbella are born. I was thinking we rent a house in my neighborhood for a few months, and once the babies are a little old enough, and we have everything on track, then we can go back," Misty explained.
"Alright, that's reasonable," Seto agreed. "I'll need to find a job."
"Well first, we have to get you, Mokuba, and Sophia visas to live and work here, but since I'm an American citizen and we're getting married, perhaps we can even figure out citizenship. What kind of work do you want to do in the meantime?"
"Well, I guess the easiest thing we can do right now is for Mokuba and me to have a business consulting business. That should bring in money quickly. I'll need your help getting started."
"That's a brilliant idea babe! And of course. I'm just glad you paid well when I worked for you, and you helped me get good stock," Misty told him with a smile and a kiss. Seto smiled back into the kiss.
"Yeah, I'm so glad too," Seto agreed.
"Then after we get your citizenship stuff squared away, we can go to the Chamber of Commerce for business permits. And I guess we can have a Thanksgiving baby shower too, to prepare for the babies. I just wish I could do the nursery like I wanted to back home in Domino," Misty added.
"Yeah, I know, and that does sound like a great idea," Seto concurred. "I was also thinking… since you and Sophia are so close to the end of your pregnancies, perhaps you two could stay at home and take care of the house?" Seto suggested. Misty grimaced, but knew there wasn't much option.
"Alright, if we must," Misty acquiesced.
"I know you want to do stuff, and I wouldn't ask you otherwise, but I just want to make sure you, Sophia, and the babies are safe and healthy, and I think employers won't hire you two because you and her would be on maternity leave right after being hired," Seto explained. Misty nodded with a grimace. She did understand, and he did have some good points. Well, at least she and Sophia could help their husbands (to-be) by taking care of the house and dinner, and reminding them to stay balanced and healthy.
"Oh, yeah, and we'll also need to take driver's ed, and get a used car," Misty piped up as she thought about it. Seto and Mokuba being able to drive here was necessary; how would they get to their clients otherwise? Taxis and drivers were expensive, and the buses took a while. And if she and Sophia learned, (well Misty would have a refresher since she had head trauma) they could run errands and do things they needed to do, once they had enough for a 2nd car.
"That's true, that's important," Seto agreed. "And I think when Mokuba and I come home after work, and we all have dinner, he and I will work on fixing Kaiba Corp and Kaiba Land little by little until we can get them opened and operating again. The bright side is we figured out how to destroy the virus, so at least that's a little easier."
"That's good! I'm glad you were able to take care of that virus. Alright, I think we pretty much got it figured out, for now," Misty pointed out. Seto smiled.
"Now let's just enjoy our dinner date, and every moment we have before we have to part for tonight," Seto suggested.
"Good plan," Misty agreed with a smile and the waitress brought their food to them, and they enjoyed their dinner and listening to the roaming mariachis serenading the other patrons. After they finished their dinner, they went to the panadería and bought some pan dulce to snack on later and for breakfast in the morning, and got an extra paper bag, and a bag of coffee, and then went back to the hotel. By the time they got back, Mokuba and Sophia were already back.
"Hey Misty! Hey Seto!" Mokuba greeted cheerfully.
"Hey Mokuba," Misty and Seto greeted. "How was your date?"
"It was so romantic and peaceful!" Mokuba exclaimed.
"It sure was," Sophia agreed with a smile.
"Alright, you two ready to part for our wedding night eve?" Misty asked.
"I guess," Mokuba replied. "Who's going where?"
"Well Sophia can come into mine and Seto's room, and Seto can go into yours, or vice versa," Misty suggested.
"Sure, the first way works just fine," Mokuba and Sophia agreed.
"Alright cool," Misty nodded and helped Seto get his things together in their room while Mokuba helped Sophia get her things together.
"Tonight is going to suck," Mokuba told Sophia in their room.
"I'm going to miss you tonight," Seto told Misty in their room.
"I know, but it's just for tonight, and tomorrow I'll be Mrs. Kaiba," Misty and Sophia replied to their husbands-to-be while caressing their faces. Mokuba and Seto brushed some stray hairs behind Sophia and Misty's ears, respectively while gazing into their eyes, and kissing them.
"I can't wait," Mokuba and Seto replied and they looked giddy; tomorrow, both Sophia and Misty would be Mrs. Kaiba!
"Me either," Sophia and Misty replied. "Goodnight, Mr. Kaiba," both Misty and Sophia bade teasingly and flirtatiously.
"Goodnight, future Mrs. Kaiba," Mokuba and Seto replied with a grin and then Seto and Sophia traded rooms so Seto was in Mokuba's room, and Sophia went into Seto's room, after Seto had split the pan dulce for each room into both paper bags, and gotten the boutonnieres. Misty and Sophia hugged and Misty shut the door, and Seto shut the door to Mokuba's room
"Let girls' night begin!" Misty exclaimed.
"Let guys' night begin!" Seto exclaimed. In their rooms, they watched some movies and got prepped and ready for the wedding tomorrow, and just enjoying the bonding time. Misty and Seto also filled them in on the conversation they had earlier about the plans, and both Mokuba and Sophia thought they were great ideas.
They went to bed at a decent time, but the four of them found it really hard to sleep; they were too excited about the wedding. For Misty and Sophia, it was doubled because the babies were feeding off the excitement and were moving around a lot.
Monday, Oct 31st, Halloween
Eventually, they did get to sleep, and they dreamed about the wedding, but their alarms woke them up. They were tired, but eager and excited. This was the day they waited for what felt like forever to them. They ate the rest of the pan dulce for breakfast, and got showered and started getting ready.
Misty and Sophia took their time doing their hair and makeup, and then they helped each other into their dresses, and admired each other's looks.
"Seto and Mokuba are going to so crazy seeing us!" Sophia exclaimed excitedly.
"Oh yeah!" Misty agreed happily.
"You look so beautiful!" Misty and Sophia complimented each other. They took turns taking each other's pictures with their phones. They grabbed the bouquets from the storage space where Seto had left them, along with their small purses in which they had put their phones, money, ids, and room keys, and then caught their ride, thankfully without being noticed by Seto and Mokuba. They had thought about sharing a ride with Seto and Mokuba, but they wanted to do this wedding right, with Seto and Mokuba not seeing them before the wedding. Their hearts were racing wildly the closer they got towards Marriage Island. This felt so surreal; they were about to both become Mrs. Kaiba.
"Are you nervous Misty?" Sophia asked as she looked at her sister-in-law-to-be.
"A little, but I think it's outweighed by excitement. How about you?" Misty replied.
"Yeah, I'm excited too, but I'm also really tired," Sophia answered as she stifled a yawn. The yawn was contagious and made Misty yawn too.
"I guess I'm a little tired too. It was hard to sleep," Misty agreed.
"Yeah," Sophia agreed.
"Maybe after the ceremony, we can get lunch, have our marital fun with them, rest, and then later we can maybe go to the club for some dancing and a costume contest for cash. We already have a group costume- The Court of the Blue Eyes White Dragon. If we win, the money would sure help after what we used this week," Misty told her.
"Yeah, it would. I hope we win," Sophia agreed.
"Me too. Today is so awesome!" Misty exclaimed. Sophia smiled.
"It sure is." It wasn't long before they were dropped off at the point where the Marriage Island office was, paid the driver, and went inside the office to wait for their husbands-to-be.
Meanwhile…
Seto and Mokuba were feeling jittery as they took their time putting on their shiny silver tuxes with the ice blue shirts and ties, and silver shoes.
"I can't believe this day is finally here! I feel like we're in a dream, and I don't want to wake up," Seto told Mokuba. He was hesitant to get too excited, but today he couldn't help himself.
"Me too," Mokuba agreed with a smile and a light glowing in his soft, steel grey eyes. He then pinched Seto and himself to show that this was indeed real.
"Ow!" they both exclaimed and smiled.
"Thank you, Mokuba. I really needed the proof that today was really happening."
"Me too, and you're welcome," Mokuba replied with a smile and sighed happily. "What should we do after the wedding?"
"Well, I imagine they'd want to eat lunch first, and then perhaps we could have some marital fun with them in our hotel rooms, and then see what they're up for later," Seto replied.
"We'll have to be careful with them since they're pregnant," Mokuba warned.
"I know, but we could do a gentle session on them," Seto protested.
"Alright, that sounds good," Mokuba agreed. He didn't want either Misty nor Sophia getting hurt.
"Today is going to be one of the best days of our lives," Seto declared happily.
"It sure is," Mokuba concurred with a smile. Those days had been so rare for them. So far, the best days they've had of their whole lives had been when Seto found out his mother was going to have Mokuba; When Mokuba was born, though that day had also been tainted with sadness due to their mother's passing; The day Gozaburo committed suicide and they inherited Kaiba Corp; Building KaibaLand; Meeting Misty, and Sophia; Valentine's Day this year, when they had their first dates; Misty's birthday, when she agreed to be Seto's wife; for Mokuba, going to prom with Sophia, and afterwards; When they found out Misty and Sophia were pregnant; Seeing Misty again, and having her disobey her family's wishes to spend time with them and plan this wedding; And finally, today, their Halloween wedding, at one of the city's supposedly most blessed sites to have a marriage that was supposed to bring good luck to couples that wed there. Mokuba and Seto were certain that there were more happy days on the horizon; there just HAD to be.
"Oh, there will be," the deep, ethereal voice in his head promised. Seto smiled to himself.
"What is it?" Mokuba asked seeing him smile.
"Just a promise for more happy days ahead," Seto answered and felt a boost of joy and confidence. Mokuba smiled.
"You both look so handsome. Take good care of your brides and your children," their parents said softly to them. Seto and Mokuba's eyes widened.
"Mom? Dad? Is that you?" they asked.
"Yes, it is. We just wanted to give our blessing today," their mother replied.
"Thank you, mom, dad," Seto and Mokuba beamed. "I wish you were here for real today,"
"What, us being here like this isn't enough?" their dad joked. Seto and Mokuba chuckled.
"It is. Thank you," Seto and Mokuba replied.
"Anytime kiddos," their father replied. "You two better hurry. They're waiting for you."
"Okay dad. Thanks for coming mom and dad," Seto replied.
"You're welcome," they replied and disappeared. Seto and Mokuba were charged up even more now. They finished getting ready, put the boutonnieres on, and then called a Lyft and got down to Marriage Island. Their hearts were thudding violently as they walked to the end of the aisle. They had a few minutes left before noon. They saw some spirit figures sitting on the two benches. Two were his and Mokuba's parents, and the others were Misty's grandma and Lulu. Seto recognized her from Misty's picture. They couldn't believe it! Their parents, Misty's grandma, and Lulu had come to the wedding! This was fantastic!
"Aye mijos, it is so nice to meet y'all," Misty's grandma told them softly and gave them a hug, which caused a little wind to pick up. Lulu nudged Seto's and Mokuba's legs happily.
"It's nice to meet you too," Seto and Mokuba replied. Misty's grandma smiled at them and turned to Seto.
"You take good care of my Misty, and the babies," her grandma commanded sternly but lovingly.
"Oh, I will," Seto promised. "She will be so happy you and Lulu came. Thank you."
"I wouldn't miss it for the world," her grandma assured him with a smile and sat down. Then the photographer and pastor showed up, and the photographer started taking pictures of the eagerly-waiting grooms, and also managed to catch the spirits, which freaked him out a little.
"Don't be scared. They're the spirits of our parents, and my bride's grandmother and her dog. They've come from Heaven to witness this," Seto reassured the photographer, which calmed him down a little.
"How joyous to have heavenly visitors!" the pastor replied with a smile.
"Indeed," Seto agreed with a smile. He and Mokuba were starting to get antsy.
Meanwhile,
An attendant came to the office to let Misty and Sophia know that it was time, and Seto and Mokuba were there.
"Thank you," Misty and Sophia replied and got their bouquets and purses and then followed the attendant to Marriage Island. They saw Seto and Mokuba waiting for them and their hearts skipped a beat.
"Seto look! Here they come!" Mokuba pointed out and instantly focused on Sophia. She looked so beautiful and sexy, and yet so innocent in her white dress with the blue embroidery. Seto immediately focused on Misty and he was absolutely stunned by how gorgeous she looked in her silver and ice blue gown and her Blue Eyes White Dragon necklace. She looked like the Queen of the Blue Eyes White Dragons. His heart fluttered wildly like a frightened, caged bird. The attendant walked them to the beginning of the aisle and held their purses while Misty and Sophia linked arms and held the bouquets in their free hands. The photographer was snapping pictures as Misty and Sophia cantered down the aisle, eager to be at their grooms' sides. Misty and Sophia then noticed some spirit figures sitting on the bench, but couldn't make them out right now; they were too focused on their grooms. Seto and Mokuba were focused so intently on their brides and smiled happily. They were so happy, they let a few tears of joy fall. Misty and Sophia smiled at them and then made it to the end of the aisle. They unlinked arms, handed the bouquets to the attendant, who put them with their purses, and then Misty and Sophia took their husbands-to-be's hands.
"You look so incredible!" Seto whispered to Misty. "You look like the Queen of the Blue Eyes White Dragons."
"Thank you. That's the idea," Misty replied back and smiled. "You look so handsome."
"Thank you," Seto beamed happily.
"Babe, you look so beautiful and sexy, yet innocent," Mokuba whispered to Sophia.
"Thanks babe. You look so handsome," Sophia replied with a smile.
"Now then, we are gathered here today in the presence of heavenly visitors and the Lord to confer a marriage between Seto and Mokuba Kaiba, and their brides Misty Robinson and Sophia Yakamori, respectively. If anybody has any objections to these unions, please speak now, or forever hold your peace," the pastor began. Misty and Sophia were a little confused about the "Heavenly visitors" part, but decided to ignore it. People passing by noticed a wedding taking place, and decided to watch. They noticed the grooms looked familiar somehow, and started recording the wedding on their phones. Misty, Seto, Sophia, and Mokuba didn't notice them filming; all they cared about was each other and the ceremony. While the passerby people filmed, they realized why the grooms looked familiar; they were Seto and Mokuba Kaiba, and then were more fascinated by the wedding. They couldn't believe they were witnessing SETO AND MOKUBA KAIBA GETTING MARRIED! More and more passerby stopped and filmed.
"Now then, I understand that y'all have written your own vows?" The pastor began.
"Yes sir," Seto, Mokuba, Misty, and Sophia replied.
"Ladies first," the pastor invited.
"Seto, my love, I wasn't expecting to find love when I first came to Domino. I was open to the possibility, but didn't expect to find love. When I applied for a job at Kaiba Corp., I was just looking for a way to provide for my new life in Domino. Apparently, God had other plans. He brought us together at just the right time. On our interview day, I was so scared that you would die, and I had to try to help. From there, despite our stubborn, initial differences and our resolve to not date anyone at work, I fell for you, hard, and it grew faster when I moved in with you after the fire, and you took care of me. You made me feel so special, and I happily said yes when you proposed. I couldn't wait to be your wife and start a life and a family with you, especially after you were there when you saw me and my family at our lowest when Lulu was dying. And then we were separated. As I was trying to get my memory back, I felt an emptiness. When you came here and I found out the truth, and I sprung you, I felt that void fill, and I was finally purely happy for the first time in a long time. My heart felt complete. I can't wait to be by your side forevermore, in good times and bad, through sickness and health, wealth or poverty, with Josh and Angelbella. You are my destiny. Anywhere you go, I go, and vice versa. I love you so much, now and forevermore, and there will never be anyone else," Misty vowed as a few tears shimmered in her eye and escaped. Seto wiped the tears with his finger and smiled, a few of his own tears shimmering in his eyes.
"That was beautiful," Seto whispered to her. He hoped his vows would touch her heart like hers did to his.
"Yes, it was quite lovely," the pastor, Mokuba, and Sophia agreed.
Next it was Sophia's turn.
"Mokuba, before I met you on February 13th, nothing in my life was going right. I was invisible, lonely, tormented, and I had estranged myself from my criminal family. I didn't think anybody was going to notice me, ever, and it made me feel depressed. Then as I was helping in the library, I found myself overwhelmed with a stack of books, and they fell. Then you appeared and helped me, and were kind to me. You hated when the bell rang and we had to part, then when bullies attacked me later, you in your shining armor came to my rescue, then walked me to class when the bell rang, talked to me, made me feel like I finally belonged and was wanted. I eagerly traded phone numbers with you, and you took me on a proper Valentine's date and were kind enough to give me a ride to work so I wouldn't have to worry about the bus. It was the first time I felt special. That was the moment you had my heart. I was so fortunate that you wanted to stay by my side, and I was so afraid I'd scare you off, especially if you knew who my family was, and that you'd get tired of always protecting me from bullies, but you stayed, and protected me, and even gave me some extra help with Seto, Misty, and Rosa. We were so happy. And I was especially happy I got to experience prom with you. Then, after my family ruined everything, I was devastated when we split briefly, and was so relieved and happy when we were able to reconcile and resume our relationship. I was surprised when Misty sprung the marriage license on us. I had always known I wanted to marry you, but with everything that was going on, I didn't want to pressure you. I was touched when you said you wanted to give me a proper ring to propose with, and give me the perfect moment, but it was perfect as it was. We were all together, it was romantic, and sort of spontaneous. And now we're here and I can't wait to spend forever with you, and our son, Vincent.," Sophia vowed with tears shimmering in her eyes. Mokuba also had tears welling in his eyes; it was so beautiful.
"Alright, now the guys. Let's start with Seto," the pastor invited.
"Alright, here goes. It may not be as beautiful as yours, Misty, but it's from my heart," Seto began.
"That's all I ask," Misty assured him with a smile.
"Misty, Mokuba and I have only ever had just a handful of truly happy days, and most of them featured you and Sophia. Before Mokuba and I met you, pretty much all we knew was work, dueling, chess, brotherhood, and KaibaLand. There was hardly any joy, and love, except for the love Mokuba and I had as brothers, was a weakness. I scoffed at love, and also faith, but the moment you walked into my office and saved my life without hesitation or wanting reciprocation, you changed all that around. With you, we were finally happy, relaxed, we started understanding why you had faith, we started learning gratitude, and most importantly, we learned how to love, and it now, it's like breathing. I knew when I watched you be so protective and maternal to Mokuba and Sophia, that you were going to be a great mother, and after you protected me from ruin, I knew I wanted to marry you. I knew that I couldn't imagine my future without you. When you were hurt trying to stop Nero, in a coma, and I wasn't allowed to see you, I lost it. It felt like my world shattered. It hurt worse knowing you didn't remember anything, you were taken from me, and I missed big moments with you about Josh and Angelbella. It was so miserable living without you while I worked to try to get the computer virus eliminated, and to save enough to get back to you. When I finally saw you again, I felt so alive again, but it was tainted when I was thrown into jail for showing up and trying to show you the truth. Thankfully, you being my angel that you are, you freed me and told me you wanted to marry me, again, and were so brave to have come to secretly spend time with us to plan for this, today. I can't wait to spend forever with you, my beautiful, smart, protective angel queen, by my side, raising Josh and Angelbella and any other children, and later grandchildren we have. I never want to part from you; I can't handle that again. As long as I have you with me, we can handle anything and everything. I love you so much Misty.
"Wow!" everyone on the island exclaimed. Misty was so touched, she had to hug him as tight as she could manage, on the side. Seto held her tight as she hugged him and kissed her head.
"I'm excited to hear yours Mokuba," Sophia told Mokuba.
"I think we all are," the pastor agreed.
"Ok, I'll do my best," Mokuba began and took a breath.
"Sophia, like Seto said, we only had a handful of truly happy days in our life, but that all changed when we met Misty, and then I met you. When I saw you, I thought you were so cute, so shy, so sweet, after I helped you pick up that heavy stack of books. I hated that we had to part when the bell rang, and I was angry those bullies attacked you like that. I happily walked you to class, talked to you, traded numbers with you, and planned our Valentine's date. I was so nervous about our date I had to ask Misty for help on how a date should go. I wanted everything to be right, and sure enough, it was such a great date. I was happy to take you to work after that, and help you by giving you rides to make you feel safe and secure so you wouldn't have to take the bus. I was smitten and happy. I wanted nothing more than for you to be happy and safe, so I was happy to protect you, with some help. Then, we had a nasty fight after Nero attacked, and we were miserable being apart from each other for a few weeks, but thankfully, we were reunited and able to rekindle our love, and I was happy to be there with you to see our son growing at the visits to the doctor. We worked hard with Seto to get here, and after we reunited with Misty, everything felt perfect again. I had been planning on proposing to you, as soon as I was able to get a proper ring, I wanted the moment to be perfect, just as you deserved, but in a way, it kind of already was perfect when Misty surprised us with the marriage license. Today felt like a dream that would never come, but now that it has, and my heart races with joy knowing you will be by my side forever, as my wife. I will do everything in my power to ensure you are happy and safe. I will be your protector, your shining knight, and I will teach Vincent to be the same way for the future. I love you so much Sophia," Mokuba vowed and a few tears shimmered in his soft, steely grey eyes.
"Aww, Mokuba," Sophia replied as a few tears welled in her eyes and she hugged him.
"That was so sweet," Misty complimented him.
"Great job Mokuba," Seto chimed in. Mokuba beamed happily.
"Let us continue with the exchanging of the rings," the pastor announced. Misty, Sophia, Seto, and Mokuba nodded. Seto got his and Misty's rings from his pocket, while Mokuba got his and Sophia's rings from his pocket. Seto and Mokuba handed Misty and Sophia their rings, while they held Misty and Sophia's rings. "Please repeat after me, ladies," the pastor commanded. Misty and Sophia nodded and repeated everything the pastor said, and placed the rings on Seto's and Mokuba's fingers, and then Seto and Mokuba repeated the same words and slipped the rings onto Misty and Sophia's fingers.
"And now a reading from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Love is patient, love is kind and not jealous; love does not brag, and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. May your marriages be blessed and everlasting, and what God has brought together, let no man tear asunder. With the power vested in me by the State of Texas and through the Ministry of San Antonio, I joyfully pronounce you husbands and wives. You may kiss your brides," the pastor instructed.
"With pleasure," Seto and Mokuba replied with grins and captured their wives' faces in their hands and kissed them passionately. Cheers erupted from across the river, and from the spirit figures. When they parted, they smiled at their new spouses. Seto then produced the marriage licenses from his coat pocket, and his hands trembled with joy. They could finally sign these! Misty, Seto, and the pastor signed theirs, and Mokuba and Sophia signed as witnesses. Then, Mokuba, Sophia, and the pastor signed theirs, while Misty and Seto signed as witnesses. Seto took the certificates back and put them in the envelope so they could file them later with City Hall. They could do that tomorrow.
"Oh mijita! I'm so happy for you!" Misty's grandma told her as she and Lulu came up to her. Misty froze in shock and felt a warm, airy embrace and a rhythmic thumping of a tail against her legs.
"Grandma?! Lulu?! Is that you?!" Misty exclaimed.
"Yes mijita! I didn't want to miss this wedding. I'm so happy you found such a handsome, sweet man. I'm so proud of you!" her grandma crowed with pride. Misty embraced her grandma and felt tears falling down her cheeks. She was so happy! Her grandma was here! Her grandma saw her get married! This meant so much to her!
"Aye, mijita, don't cry, please," her grandma coaxed gently.
"I'm just so happy you and Lulu came!" Misty exclaimed.
"I've missed you, and the family," her grandma told her.
"We have too. Not a day goes by that we don't think of you," Misty replied.
"I'm so happy to hear that. Well mijita, I'm so glad I was able to come. I love you, and may God be with you, your husband, Mokuba, and Sophia. We need to get back now," her grandma bade.
"Thank you, grandma," Misty bade and then pet her youthful, adoring spirit dog and held her face in her hands. "Hers my silly, sweet girl. I love you so much, and I miss you, and mom and West miss you too. You be a good girl for grandma," Misty told Lulu and felt her licking her face. Misty smiled and watched them disappear, and then the other two spirit figures had approached them.
"It's nice to finally meet the woman who saved our Seto, made him happy, and helped him and Mokuba learn to love again," Seto's mom spoke cheerfully.
"Misty, this is my mom, and my dad," Seto introduced her.
"Oh wow! You're his parents! It's so great to meet you!" Misty gushed surprised and happily. Sophia was surprised too; Seto's and Mokuba's parents came to watch this too, as had Misty's grandma and Lulu. So, that's what the pastor meant when he said there were heavenly visitors there with them.
"It's so nice to meet you too. You are one special lady," Seto's dad complimented her.
"Thank you so much! I'm honored you think of me like so," Misty replied with a smile.
"Please continue to take good care of Seto, and I look forward to watching our grandchildren grow. I know you will be an excellent mother," his mother told her. Misty smiled.
"Oh, I'll take good care of him, and that means a lot coming from you," Misty replied. Seto's mom and dad smiled happily and hugged her and then moved onto Sophia.
"Sophia, meet my mom and dad," Mokuba introduced them happily.
"It's so nice to meet you," Sophia replied with a little bit of a blush.
"It's nice to meet you too. You are such a sweetheart, and we're so glad Mokuba has you," Mokuba and Seto's mother replied.
"That means a lot," Sophia replied with a humble smile.
"Take good care of Mokuba, and we are looking forward to watching our grandson grow. I know you will also be an excellent mother," Seto and Mokuba's mom assured her too with the same sentiment she offered Misty. It was true for both of them, and they both needed to hear it.
"Indeed," Seto and Mokuba's father agreed with a smile. They hugged Mokuba and Sophia.
"Thank you so much," Sophia replied with a happy smile.
"You are most welcome dear," Seto and Mokuba's mother replied with a smile.
"Well kiddos, we need to head back, but we are so glad we were able to be here to see this," Seto's father bade.
"Thank you for coming, mom and dad," Seto and Mokuba bade.
"Yes, it was an honor to have you," Misty and Sophia chimed in. Mokuba and Seto's parents smiled and then disappeared. Seto, Mokuba's, Sophia's, and Misty's spirits were raised and electrified with joy that the family members that meant the world to them were able to visit from Heaven to witness this wedding. The joy was emanating off of them like a glow, and it was palpable during their wedding photo shoot. By the time the photographer finished, it was about 2:00 p.m., and he told them when they could expect the pictures. The happy couples nodded and then their stomachs were audibly growling; they were starving, and had decided to go to Whataburger, after ensuring they had Misty and Sophia's purses and bouquets, that the marriage licenses were back in Seto's breast pocket in his jacket, and some quick pics on their phones so they could share them to social media later. They could have gone somewhere fancy on the Riverwalk, but they wanted something cheap and quick since they were starving, and would allow them to finish quickly so they could move onto more fun and important things, namely in their hotel rooms.
They went into the Whataburger and it was a little busy, but not too bad, and everybody looked at them a bit oddly when they walked in, but they didn't care.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer," Misty quipped at the staring people, and a bunch of them looked away, while a few did take pictures more because they recognized Seto and Mokuba. The employee behind the counter just took the order without much reaction except for a quizzical eyebrow raise, especially after Misty's quip. They got their cups and went to the drink station and filled their cups. Misty and Sophia got some sweet tea while their husbands got sodas, and they took their table tent to a booth in the corner by the window. Misty put the table tent at the edge of the table and suggested they take a selfie when their burgers and fries came.
"Why?" Seto asked, a brunet eyebrow rising over his sapphire eye curiously.
"It's our wedding lunch, duh," Misty answered with a chuckle.
"Alright," Seto agreed.
"Oh, come now, it's your wedding day, and she just wants to capture each moment. You were so excited and eager earlier," his inner self pointed out. At that, Seto did feel a little guilty. Misty was so joyous and wanted to capture each moment of this day they had been waiting so long for, and he couldn't muster up enthusiasm. When the food came and they got it sorted, Misty held her camera out for a selfie of them with their burgers.
"Would you like me to take your picture for you?" the Whataburger employee asked.
"Yes, thank you," Misty replied and handed the employee her phone. The employee set the orange condiment tray down and took a picture of the four of them and handed Misty's phone back.
"Thank you," Misty repeated with a smile. The Whataburger employee nodded with a smile.
"Congratulations," the employee said and left with the orange condiment tray. Seto, Misty, Mokuba, and Sophia dug into their burgers and thoroughly enjoyed them. This hit the spot.
"So, do you girls want to do anything later this evening, after we have our fun and rest?" Mokuba asked.
"Well, I was thinking we can go to a club on the Riverwalk and do a costume contest for money, and do a little bit of dancing." Misty suggested.
"What are we going to dress as?" Seto asked curiously.
"What we're wearing now, but we'll call it the Royal Court of the Blue Eyes White Dragon," Misty answered matter-of-factly.
"Ooh! I like that!" Mokuba exclaimed. Seto smiled. It was totally her to think of something like that.
"I like it too," Seto chimed in.
"Ok, so it's decided, tonight we'll dress up again, go to a club that is holding a costume contest for money, we'll have our first dance, do a bit of dancing in general, and then enter the contest, and then get a ride back to the hotel," Misty detailed.
"Sounds good honey," Seto replied with a kiss.
"Yeah, it'll be fun, but do you think they'll let us in?" Mokuba asked.
"I'm sure they will, but we have to remember to have the wristbands or marks to show we're not drinking, for obvious reasons," Misty replied.
"Alright" Seto and Mokuba agreed. They finished up their food and drinks, and then decided to catch the bus to the hotel. They sat near the front, cuddled into each other, and within 10 minutes, they had arrived outside their hotel. Finally! It was time to have some sweet, blissful fun! They walked as quickly as Misty and Sophia's legs would allow, got their proper keys, and got to their rooms. Seto and Mokuba then unlocked the doors, put Misty and Sophia's purses and bouquets next to the doorjambs, and then swept their brides off their feet, and carried them inside to the beds. After gently placing them on the beds, Seto and Mokuba found the DO NOT DISTURB signs and hung them on the outside door handles and made sure the doors were locked, smirked, and then came back to the beds and started passionately kissing their wives.

Seto and Misty
Seto and Misty were kissing with such hungry passion. They never realized just how much they missed making love to each other, and this was going to be like their first time all over again. Seto started kissing her neck, and Misty moaned lightly and tilted her head to give him better access to her neck, but then he realized that the silver collar of her dress and her veil were getting in his way. He growled in frustration and had her get up and stand. He didn't want ANYTHING in his way while he explored her body. He turned her around and then gingerly started unbuttoning the collar and her wristcuffs, and unzipping her dress so it was loose. Then he gingerly slipped her dress off her body and let it hit the floor, letting her engorged breasts fall freely, earning a relieved gasp from Misty. She felt so much better now that she wasn't as restrained at her chest and her belly. She was left standing in her veil, Blue-Eyes White Dragon necklace, panties, and shoes, and she blushed. Seto's breath hitched in his throat, and his pants got tighter against his erecting penis as he admired his pregnant queen's body. She blushed as she could feel the heat of his sapphire eyes roving along each inch of her body, from her dark chocolate waves, her face, her shoulders, her engorged breasts, her rippling pregnant belly and her more defined "tiger stripes" that were stretch marks from her burns and the stretching her pregnancy caused, her wide hips and ample butt, down her legs, and all the way down to her feet.
"Oh Misty, you're just as sexy and beautiful as I remember, if not more because you're glowing," Seto complimented her.
"She is as radiantly sexy as ever," his inner self agreed.
"She sure is," Seto confirmed. "Oh, how I've missed this. I need to hurry and get these clothes off! I don't want anything in my way!" Seto thought feeling as wild and primitive as Tarzan.
"Easy, easy," his inner self replied trying to rein him in.
"Thank you honey," Misty replied and kicked off her shoes and yanked the tiara and veil off, and Seto had come close to her and slid her panties down her legs, exposing her vulva. Seto smiled with delight and had her sit on the edge of the bed.
"Feel free to undress me," Seto encouraged. Misty chuckled and smirked.
"Sure honey," Misty agreed. To start things off, Seto had removed his jacket and loosened his tie and vest to make things easier for her. He bent down and kissed her softly as she untied his tie, yanked it off, and started to unbutton his ice blue shirt, slowly revealing his pale pectorals and six-pack abs. Misty smiled and caressed his chest and abs, and Seto smiled at her. He stood up fully erect as he shrugged his shirt off, exposing his torso.
"And you're as lean and sexy as I remember," Misty told him with a smile.
"Thank you, my love," Seto replied with a smile. "There's more for you," he teased.
"Yeah, and I can't wait to see it!" Misty's inner self exclaimed eagerly.
"Yes, there is," Misty agreed cheekily and pulled him closer to her by his belt loops, and then quickly started unclasping his belt, unbuttoning his pants, and then slowly teased him by slowly pulling the zipper down. Seto groaned and bucked his groin closer to her.
"Don't tease…please," Seto begged. Misty smirked cheekily.
"Ohhh… why is she torturing us?!" Seto's inner self exclaimed feeling antsy.
"Why are you teasing him?! Come on! We've been waiting for this!" Misty's inner self screamed. "Do you not want to see him any faster?!"
"Then where would the fun be?" Misty retorted teasingly.
"Oh, you're cruel," Seto teased with mock pain.
"Yeah, I know, I'm evil," Misty joked with a chuckle. Seto chuckled too and pecked her with kisses, making Misty laugh.
"Yes, yes you are," both Seto's and Misty's inner selves concurred.
"Come on, release the dragon, so I can continue to drive you crazy," Seto whispered in her ear.
"Dragon?" both Seto's and Misty's inner selves asked with confusion. "Seriously? Did you just name your penis the dragon?"
"Yes," Seto answered his inner self. "What? It's suiting."
"Oh my God, you are so corny," his inner self rolled his eyes.
"Shut up…" Seto retorted.
"Oh, is that what you're calling it now?" Misty teased with a chuckle at the nickname he gave his penis.
"Maybe," Seto joked with a cheeky grin and continued to pepper her with kisses, earning more giggles.
"Alright fine, you've convinced me," Misty relented playfully and slid his pants down his long, lean, pale legs, and let him brace himself against her shoulders as he lifted his legs to get his feet free, all the while, Misty was caressing his legs gingerly. Seto tensed up with the electric pleasure that coursed through his body as his beautiful wife caressed his legs, making his penis harder so it was fully erect and aching desperately to be released. Misty rubbed her hand back up his legs, earning deep groans from Seto, especially as she neared his penis hidden under tented boxers.
"Release it, please," Seto begged.
"As you wish, my love," Misty replied and pulled his boxers down slowly as Seto groaned, and then after a few seconds that felt like hours, Seto's circumcised 7-inch penis sprang free from its claustrophobic, silky prison. Misty smiled in awestruck wonder. Sure, she'd seen it before, obviously, but it still left her wonderstruck, especially since it was the first time in a long time she had seen him completely naked.
"Ohhh… he's so handsome! Finally!" Misty's inner self exclaimed gleefully.
Her eyes roved from his chestnut brown hair, his cheeky and love-filled sapphire eyes, his lean shoulders, over his lean torso, his hips, his penis that looked like it was throbbing and aching as it waited to sheath itself in her vagina, and down his long, lean legs. He reminded her of a Greek god, or Michaelango's David.
"Yeah, I'm with you on that, perfect description of him!" Misty's inner self agreed wholeheartedly. "I want to touch!"
"Oh Seto, you look so handsome," Misty complimented him. Seto smiled and encouraged her to touch him by putting her hands on his hips.
"Yes!" Misty's inner self cheered.
"Ohh yes! This is going to be awesome!" Seto's inner self exclaimed gleefully.
Misty smiled up at him and squeezed his taut, but soft butt cheeks, lightly digging in with her nails. Seto moaned.
"Front, please," Seto begged. His penis throbbed a little more, aching to be touched, less than a foot from her face.
"Yes!" their inner selves agreed desperately.
"Alright," Misty agreed and brought her hands to his hard, throbbing penis, and then started to knead it with her fingers. It felt like bumpy velvet wrapped around steel.
"Ohhh!" Seto, his inner self, and Misty's inner self moaned as she rubbed and kneaded his penis. Misty was enjoying it too. Seto bucked up into her hands.
"Harder! Please!" Seto begged.
"As you wish, honey," Misty replied and started to increase her ministrations on his shaft and the glans penis (the head). She twisted and kneaded, and then used a few fingers to caress his testicles.
"Ohhh Misty!" Seto moaned going crazy. After a few hard kneads, Misty decided to try something else to drive him crazy. She brought him closer to her, and then licked his glans penis (the head).
"Misty!" Seto exclaimed.
"Oh God!" Seto's inner self exclaimed. Misty then swirled her tongue around the glans penis and slowly took it into her mouth and swirled her tongue around the shaft like an ice cream cone.
"Oh God! Misty!" Seto exclaimed and grabbed her head and gripped her dark chocolate hair. Misty smirked as she licked his shaft, rubbed his testicles, and then lightly grazed her teeth against his shaft.
"Ohhh! Misty!" Seto cried out as he bucked up and gripped her hair a little tighter. She was starting to get aroused from the pleasure torture she was inflicting on him.
"Whoa! Please hang on!" Seto's inner self begged.
"I'm trying!" Seto shot back. Misty then snaked a hand to his perineum and kneaded her fingers along that short patch of skin between his penis and anus, looking for his G-spot, the prostate. When she found the small bump in the middle of the perineum, she pressed and started rubbing.
"MISTY!" Seto cried out and bucked harder up to her and gripped her hair harder.
"Misty… I can't last much longer…" Seto told her desperately. As he said that, a drop of pre-cum hit her tongue. It tasted like salty cream. "Please, Misty, I need you so bad!" Seto begged. Misty then released his penis from her mouth, and his testicles and perineum from her hands, and she had him sit on the bed against the headboard, and thought about tying his hands to the headboard, but decided he should be able to explore her body while they were grinding. Misty then slowly lowered her wet vagina onto his volatilely throbbing penis, and she and Seto both moaned loudly.
"Oh, Seto you feel so big!" Misty whispered into his ear. Seto bucked up and felt his ego rise a little when she said that.
"And you feel so good and wet," Seto replied and kissed her with such passion and hunger, not caring that her mouth was caressing his penis not but a minute ago. He held her hips, and Misty started to slowly move in figure 8s on his penis. Misty moaned and leaned back a little, and Seto moaned, enjoying the sight of her arched body and heaving breasts. Seto then started kissing her neck, nibbling lightly, and Misty moaned and tilted her head to give him better access and gripped his hair. Seto then started kissing her shoulders and her engorged breasts. His tongue circled her enlarged, dusky rose nipples, and then started to suckle on one. Misty gripped his hair and moaned and arched up, and then started to move quicker and harder on his penis. Seto felt a thick, rich, creamy liquid come from her breast, and he realized he tasted her breast milk. It actually tasted pretty good, so he continued to suckle on her breast, and then moved to the other breast to suckle. The more he suckled on her breast, the more Misty arched up to him, gripped his hair, and made her figure 8s harder and faster, and she could feel herself floating upwards into space, being only lightly tethered to her body. She and Seto moaned in ecstasy, and he kissed her lips again passionately and held her hip with one hand, and used the middle and index finger on his other hand to rub her clitoris as they were moving, and Misty moaned a bit more and bucked harder into him.
"Oh Seto!" Misty said softly.
"Misty, I'm so close!" Seto whispered in her ear.
"Me too!" Misty exclaimed softly, her voice husky and sort of distant as she continued to float.
"Harder!" Seto commanded. Misty growled and then circled and did her figure 8s harder and faster, while Seto rubbed her clitoris, both desperate for orgasm. They growled and moaned and after a few minutes of intense movement, Misty froze and gasped as she orgasmed around Seto's penis, causing Seto to growl in pleasure and he exploded into her as he held her tightly. Both of them panted, and Misty leaned forward and rested her head on his chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat, and then winced; she just noticed that the babies were kicking wildly right now. Their lovemaking must have been quite an experience to make them go this crazy.
"Ow," Seto said in surprise as he also felt the wild kicking against his stomach as well. Misty chuckled as she rested on his chest.
"It's not funny, the babies kicked me in the stomach," Seto pouted.
"Sure it is. Now you know what I feel ALL the time right now," Misty retorted.
"She has a point, you know," Seto's inner self pointed out. Seto realized that was true… the babies do kick her insides a lot, and all she does is wince.
"Touché," Seto conceded, and continued to stroke her hair and her back, and kissed her forehead. Misty kissed him softly and caressed his face and hair.
"I love you, Seto, my husband," Misty said softly and smiled. Calling him her husband made her feel giddy, like a love-struck teenager.
"I love you more, Misty, my beautiful wife," Seto replied and kissed her again. Calling her his wife made his heart soar into space. She was actually his WIFE now, and he was her HUSBAND, and by damn, nobody was going to tear them apart. The babies had calmed down, and Seto had her get off him, and went to the bathroom to get some warm, damp washcloths so they could wipe each other down. He thought about taking a bath with her, but he was sure neither of them were up for it right now. He was pretty tired, and she had to be tired too. He came back with the warm washcloths and handed one to her, and started to wipe her down, savoring each inch of her body, especially as he wiped her vulva. Misty felt clean and relaxed when he did that for her. When he finished, he let Misty wipe every inch of his body, and she was enjoying it too, especially when she wiped his penis and testicles. He enjoyed her wiping them clean. He felt relaxed and just slightly aroused, but they wanted to rest. They put the washcloths on the bathtub and they climbed into their rumpled bed. Seto made a sort of nest for Misty's belly so she could sleep comfortably. Misty smiled happily at the thoughtful gesture and settled into the nest he made for her. Seto settled in and pulled her and the nest closer to him, wrapped them both up in the comforter, and wrapped his arms around her tight. He gazed drowsily into her warm, loving chocolate eyes, and she gazed into his happy, loving, sapphire eyes and fell asleep. Seto smiled as she fell asleep first and then gave her a sweet kiss before falling asleep himself, feeling utterly content with life.

Mokuba and Sophia
Mokuba continued to kiss Sophia passionately, and then started to kiss her neck. Sophia moaned and tilted her head to give him better access, and gripped his hair. Mokuba was going to do whatever he could to be gentle and take this slow with her, but he was starting to get a little excited.
"Oh Mokuba, that feels good," Sophia said softly as he continued kissing her neck. Mokuba smiled into the kisses on her neck, and then started to kiss down her neckline towards her large, plump breasts, causing Sophia to arch up.
"This feels so good!" Sophia's inner self exclaimed. Mokuba had her sit up on the bed and started to undo the ties on her sundress, and started to lift it up, over her head, and then got it off, leaving Sophia only in her veil and tiara, her glasses, her strapless bra, panties, and shoes. Sophia blushed as he admired her exposed skin. Sure, they had made love before numerous times, but she still couldn't help blushing. Mokuba admired her body, from her beautiful wavy, light brown hair, her jade green eyes behind those glasses, her beautiful neck, the plump breasts that were eager to escape their strapless cage, her round, rippling pregnant belly, her widened hips, her long legs, and finally her lovely feet.
"I am always astounded by your beauty, my love," Mokuba told her.
"Thank you. I'm always astounded by how handsome you are," Sophia replied. Mokuba smiled and kissed her softly, slowly taking her tiara and veil off as he kissed her.
"Thank you," Mokuba replied after he kissed her, and then started to undress himself, starting with removing the jacket, tie, and vest.
"Here, let me help you," Sophia offered as she came close to him and started to help him remove each layer, both of them getting excited as they both peeled away his ice blue shirt and his silver pants, socks and shoes, leaving him only in his boxers.
"Here it comes!" Their inner selves exclaimed in glee. Mokuba then came close to Sophia and caressed the skin on her shoulders down to her breasts, before reaching around her back and unclasped her strapless bra. He pulled it away and Sophia gasped sharply when her large, engorged breasts were released. They bounced for a moment before settling on her chest. Mokuba's soft, steel-grey eyes lit up in glee as he admired her breasts and then caressed and squeezed them. Sophia moaned and arched up a little to his hands, enjoying the fondling. Mokuba's penis hardened a little more as he enjoyed fondling her breasts. He kissed her breasts and decided to try suckling them. He picked her right breast to start with, and Sophia moaned a little louder and arched up more, gripping his shaggy, black hair.
"Oh Mokuba!" Sophia exclaimed softly.
"Mmm," Mokuba moaned as he suckled, and then tasted a rich creamy liquid from her breasts. He realized it was her breastmilk, and he actually liked it. After suckling on her right breast, he then moved to the other breast and suckled from there too. Sophia gripped his hair tighter, and was moaning.
"That feels so good Mokuba," Sophia told him, and started to feel wet.
"I'm glad," Mokuba replied with a smile as he pulled away from her breast. He then kissed her rippling pregnant belly, where their son was kicking gently. Sophia smiled at him as he kissed her belly.
"Hi Vincent," Mokuba told her belly and rubbed it. Vincent kicked a little more, and Mokuba smiled. Sophia winced, but smiled. Mokuba then slid her panties down off her hips, and down her creamy, pale legs, exposing her vulva and leaving her completely naked. He grew more excited, and his penis was hard and throbbing now under his boxers. It was desperate to be released. Sophia blushed a little as his roving steel-grey eyes admired her naked body.
"She is so stunning!" Mokuba's inner self exclaimed with a sigh.
"Our turn!" Sophia's inner self exclaimed gleefully as she approached Mokuba and gently slid his boxers down off his hips. Mokuba moaned a bit as his boxers went over his throbbing penis, and then it was freed! Mokuba's circumcised 6-inch penis sprang free and bounced for a moment, before settling on being straight and erect, while Sophia slid his boxers down his, long, lean legs. She rose up and then admired his perfect, lean, naked body. Mokuba smiled at her as she admired his body, from his shaggy, raven black hair, his delighted, steel-grey eyes, his radiant smile, his strong shoulders, his lean torso and abs, his lean hips, his glorious penis, and down his long, lean legs, down to his feet.
"Damn he is so sexy and perfect!" Sophia's inner self exclaimed. "Mmm, Mmm, MMM, mmm," she moaned. Mokuba pulled Sophia close, and kissed her passionately. His hands wandered over her soft curves, and the more he touched her, the harder his penis became. In turn, Sophia let her hands wander over his lean, muscular body, and grew wetter. She then had an idea.
"Honey?" Sophia asked, punctuating the kiss with a pause.
"Hmm?" Mokuba asked.
"How about we make love in the bath? It would be really relaxing," Sophia suggested. Mokuba smiled.
"Sure honey, that sounds great," Mokuba agreed and wrapped his arm around her waist and led her to the bathroom and ran a warm bath for them. While they waited for the tub to fill with the warm water, they resumed kissing passionately and hungrily, while caressing each other's bodies. Mokuba then parted the kiss when the water was at a good level, got towels, washcloths, shampoo, conditioner, and the soap ready. He also removed her glasses and then he stepped into the warm water first and moaned in pleasure at how good it felt. He held out his hand to help his beloved wife in. Sophia smiled, took his hand and stepped into the tub with him. Mokuba slowly sat down in the tub while holding her hand to keep her braced, and lifted his hips up for her to comfortably lower herself onto him. Sophia smiled, held onto his hand and then slowly lowered herself down, and onto his penis, with her back against his chest. Both Sophia and Mokuba moaned in pleasure, and then relaxed into the water.
"Oh Sophia, you feel so good," Mokuba said softly into her ear.
"So do you Mokuba," Sophia replied and lay against him. She loved how his penis felt so strong inside her and filled her. Mokuba and Sophia then tilted their torsos so they could kiss passionately as she lay on top of him in the water. After Sophia and Mokuba had kissed passionately for a bit and were still kissing, Mokuba wrapped his arms around her and started to gently fondle her breasts again with one hand, while the other made its way to her vulva and found her clitoris and started rubbing. Sophia moaned into the kiss and bucked up into his hands, and against his penis.
"Oh Mokuba!" Sophia moaned.
"Oh Sophia," Mokuba moaned as he moved with her, the water sloshing a bit around them. Sophia decided he should be able to have some pleasurable touching too, so she snaked a hand under his between her legs, and found his testicles in the water. She squeezed and kneaded them gently, causing Mokuba to gasp and buck into her.
"Oh my God! Sophia!" Mokuba moaned and continued to rub and fondle her more, earning more moans and bucks into his hands.
"Oh My God! Mokuba!" Sophia exclaimed and was going crazy. Symbiotically, she started squeezing and kneading his testicles more, making him moan louder and buck to her hand. He started rubbing and fondling harder, and in turn, she squeezed and kneaded harder on him. The water sloshed about them wildly, but thankfully stayed at a level that didn't come out of the tub. They were both going crazy with erotic pleasure and were starting to feel like they were turning into jellyfish and floating into space, being only lightly tethered to their bodies. They were getting so close!
"Oh Sophia, I really can't take much more! I'm so close!" Mokuba whined desperately.
"Me too Mokuba!" Sophia moaned. Mokuba stopped fondling her breasts, and then moved that hand to her hips and started to rub her clitoris even more vigorously. Sophia had to stop squeezing and kneading his testicles and brace herself against the edges of the tub because she was going utterly crazy. She and Mokuba were moaning loudly in desperation for the sweet release of orgasm. Mokuba was desperate to try and get her to orgasm first because he couldn't last much longer.
"Please Sophia! Please hurry and orgasm!" Mokuba's inner self begged desperately. After a few minutes of rubbing with desperate vigor, Sophia finally gasped and froze, and then relaxed as she orgasmed around him and was panting and floating in space. Mokuba growled and cried out as he exploded into her. Mokuba relaxed and was panting and also was floating in space. His jellyfish-like arms and legs then found Sophia and gently wrapped around her, pulling her close so they could float together. As Mokuba and Sophia slowly returned to the present moment, Mokuba started to caress Sophia's skin, ignoring the pruny sensations caused by the water. Sophia smiled in pleasure and rested against him, and then winced as she could feel Vincent's wild kicking.
"Honey? Are you ok?" Mokuba asked.
"Vincent is kicking wildly," Sophia explained and sandwiched his hands between hers and her belly. Mokuba felt the kicking too.
"Wow! He's really going wild!' Mokuba observed and started to rub her belly to calm him down. It took a few minutes before Vincent did calm down as Mokuba rubbed her belly. Sophia enjoyed the rubbing too, and then felt chilled. The water had cooled significantly since they had been in the tub. Mokuba held her close to him, sat up, and pulled the drainplug to let the cold water drain out. When it had, he replaced the drainplug and filled the tub again with warm water, all the while caressing and kissing his sweet wife. He still couldn't believe she was his wife, and he was her husband, and Sophia felt the same way. She finally and officially with legal documentation had a permanent family where she was loved and cherished, and she felt so lucky to have a husband like Mokuba. He could've had ANY woman he wanted, and he picked her.
After the water had filled the tub again, Mokuba had gently gotten her off his penis, and started to gently rinse her hair and lather it with shampoo, then conditioner, rinsing in between. Sophia felt so relaxed and pampered. After rinsing the conditioner out of her hair, Sophia lathered up some soap on a washcloth and started to gently wash her body. Sophia felt like she was getting a massage.
"He sure knows how to take good care of you," Sophia's inner self told her as she was relaxed with pleasure and bliss.
"Mhm," Sophia agreed. When she was rinsed off, she gently rinsed Mokuba's thick, shaggy, raven black hair and started to lather his hair with shampoo, then conditioner, with a rinse in between. Mokuba also felt utterly relaxed and pleasured as she washed his hair, and even more so as she gently lathered his body with the soap. This bath was such a great idea. Mokuba pulled the drainplug again, shook his hair against her playfully, like a dog.
"Mokuba!" Sophia exclaimed as she tried to shield herself with her hands and chuckled as he splashed her. Mokuba chuckled and kissed her a moment before standing up and then helping her up. He grabbed a towel and handed it to her and then grabbed his own towel and they started drying themselves off. Mokuba then opened the door, picked up Sophia, and carried her to the bed. He pulled the covers down, made a sort of nest for her belly to be more comfortable and got in the bed next to her and her nest. Sophia loved how he was so thoughtful to make her feel more comfortable. Once they were settled in, Mokuba pulled the covers over them and held her close. Sophia smiled at her husband as she was able to gaze into his soft, loving, steel-grey eyes, even though they weren't exactly clear right now, but oh well. Mokuba caressed her face as he started into her soft, beautiful jade green eyes, and felt utterly happy. He gave Sophia another kiss, and then she drifted off to sleep, with him following right after. He had never been happier than he was right now.
END OF SEX SCENE #2.
WE WILL NOW RESUME OUR STORY IN PROGRESS.
9:00 p.m.
After sleeping peacefully for a few hours, Misty, Seto, Sophia, and Mokuba started to stir, and Misty heard notifications on her phone. She got out of bed and checked her phone and was surprised. There were tons of messages on her phone. She opened her text messages and saw frantic texts from her friends and family, particularly her parents and brother. They were pissed!
"Honey?" Seto asked softly as he noticed she wasn't lying next to him, but was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her phone, still naked. Seto moved the covers off of him and sat on the edge of the bed with her and kissed her and held her close. "What's up?" Seto asked.
"My family, especially my mom, dad, and Wes, and my friends are pissed off," Misty explained as she showed him the angry messages demanding she talk to them. She also listened to the angry voicemails that told her they needed to speak with her immediately after finding out about their marriage through the Trending Topics on Facebook. "They found out about our wedding through Facebook," Misty explained. Misty checked Facebook with Seto looking over her shoulder to see the trending topic, and found it. It read "Seto and Mokuba Kaiba" in bold, and directly underneath it read "Seto and Mokuba Kaiba marry pregnant fiancées on Marriage Island in San Antonio, TX, on Halloween." Misty clicked the bolded letters and brought up a litany of posts about their wedding. They saw the videos and photos of their wedding this afternoon, along with her family and friends' shocked and happy reactions, she saw Rosa, Roland, Hari, Edward, and the rest of the staff's posts expressing joy and sadness (sadness for not being able to be there in person to see it), and of course fans and haters and their expressions of joy, shock, and some anger/disgust.
"Wow," Misty and Seto exclaimed and then knocked on the wall to wake Mokuba and Sophia up. Mokuba and Sophia were already awake, so Mokuba got up and knocked back to say they were awake and then sent a message.
"Hey, what's up?" Mokuba asked.
"We're a trending topic on Facebook for our wedding this afternoon. Check it out," Misty wrote back. Immediately, Mokuba got Sophia's glasses from the bathroom, let her put them on, and got on his phone and sat in bed with Sophia as they looked up the trending topic.
"Whoa!" Mokuba and Sophia exclaimed as they saw the litany of posts. After a bit of scrolling through the posts, Misty and Mokuba clicked back to exit out to their feed screens and turned off the app. Misty then called her parents and brother in a conference call and got an earful from them. They were upset they got married, without them knowing until now, and that they weren't worthy of knowing from them personally; they had to find out through FACEBOOK. Misty explained her reasoning- She couldn't tell them because they would have ruined it by stopping it. She had to make this decision on her own for hers, Seto's, and the babies' sakes, and she wasn't going to let anything, even them, stand in her way, and it was a way to say "you will either accept me and my new family as a package deal, or you will lose us for good. You will not separate us again. Nobody will. Plus, we now have power to make important medical decisions for each other." They wanted to protest, but they couldn't; they didn't want to lose her, or the babies either. She was deadly serious. Misty then placated them that they could have another ceremony and reception for them in which they could participate, in the springtime, after the babies were born. They agreed, and Misty told them she loved them and bade them goodnight, for she and her family were going to enjoy the rest of their Halloween, and their honeymoon week. After she hung up with them, she sighed heavily, but she felt better.
"Are you okay?" Seto asked gingerly as he held her.
"Yeah. Just glad that conversation is over with," Misty replied and kissed him, and felt the babies kicking. Seto rubbed her belly and talked to them to calm them down, but they still kicked. Misty grimaced. "I think they're hungry." In response, both hers and Seto's stomachs grumbled.
"Do you feel like ordering in, or going out?" Seto asked as he caressed her back.
"Let's go to Mi Tierra before we have to get ready to go clubbing tonight," Misty answered.
"Mi Tierra again?" Seto asked.
"Well it's close and always open," Misty pointed out.
"Alright. Let's get dressed," Seto replied and they started to get dressed in casual outfits. Misty then called Mokuba through Messenger.
"Hey Misty, what's up?" Mokuba answered.
"Hey, Seto and I are going to Mi Tierra to eat something, then we're going to come back and get ready to go clubbing and participate in the costume contest," Misty told him. "Do you want to join us?"
"Yeah, okay. Just give us a few minutes to get dressed and we'll join you," Mokuba replied.
"Okay, and we're just wearing casual clothes right now," Misty told him and they hung up.
"We're getting dressed to get some food with Misty and Seto," Mokuba told Sophia.
"Oh! Excellent! I'm starving, and so is Vincent!" Sophia exclaimed and she and Mokuba got dressed into casual clothes. When they finished, they got their purses, keys, and other necessaries, put the Do Not Disturb signs inside, made sure the rooms were secure, and started walking to Mi Tierra. It was pretty quiet in the restaurant, so they were able to order quickly. When their server had brought them their drinks and food, she recognized them.
"Hey, y'all just got married today, didn't y'all?" the server asked.
"Yep. How did you know?" Misty asked.
"I saw it on Facebook. It was a beautiful ceremony. Congratulations!" the server replied.
"Thank you," Seto, Misty, Mokuba, and Sophia replied with a smile. They dug into their food happily and it really hit the spot. The babies immediately calmed down. When they had finished with the food, the server brought them a couple slices of cake with a couple rings drawn on them in frosting, and a smattering of sprinkles.
"They're on the house, as a way of saying congratulations on your wedding," the server told them.
"Well, thank you!" Misty, Sophia, Seto, and Mokuba exclaimed.
"Would you mind taking video of us feeding each other the cake?" Misty requested.
"Sure!" the server cheerfully agreed and took Misty's phone after she got the video function ready. They each stabbed a piece of the cake, and Mokuba and Seto fed Sophia and Misty the cake respectively, being kind enough to not smash it in their faces. In turn, Sophia and Misty fed the cake to Mokuba and Seto respectively and respectfully. The server stopped recording and handed Misty's phone back.
"Thank you," Misty replied with a smile and they enjoyed the cake. The server then brought the check and Seto paid for it.
"Thanks honey," Misty told Seto with a kiss.
"Thanks Seto," Mokuba and Sophia chimed in.
"You're welcome," Seto replied. They got up and left back to the hotel. Sophia got her makeup bag and things from Misty and Seto's room, and returned to her room with Mokuba. The four of them took off their casual clothes and dressed into their wedding clothes. Sophia and Misty then did their hair and makeup while Mokuba and Seto watched in admiration. When they were ready, Seto had taken the certificates out of his pocket and replaced it with the room keys, his phone, id, and some cash. Mokuba had also put his room keys, phone, id, and some cash in his pocket, while Misty and Sophia put their ids, phones, cash, and lipsticks in their small purses. They made sure the room was secured again and then hailed a Lyft to the Bonham Exchange, San Antonio's oldest and hottest nightclub that was accepting of everyone, LGBTQ, or straight. Misty paid for the ride, and she and Seto got in for free while Sophia and Mokuba paid their $5 covers since they were still minors. The cashier and bouncers looked at Misty and Sophia suspiciously, seeing their pregnant bellies.
"Go ahead and mark us. We're not drinking, for obvious reasons. We just want to dance and participate in the costume contest," Misty told them and they marked hers and Sophia's hands with a black X to indicate not to serve them alcohol. It was still fairly early, so it wasn't too crowded. Eventually, more people came. They scanned the dance floor and danced a little bit, having a blast, and when they announced the costume contest sign-up, Misty led them over to the sign-up and put their names down as a group costume- The Royal Court of the Blue Eyes White Dragons/Blue Eyes White Dragon Brides and Grooms. The DJ got on the mic and got everyone to congratulate them, especially since they were pretty much celebrity guests. Misty then decided to make a simple request: a single song, just for them, for their first dance.
"Sure!" The DJ agreed. Misty requested Bruno Mars's "Rest of My Life", and the DJ got it ready and announced a spotlight dance just for Misty, Seto, Sophia, and Mokuba for their first dance. Seto and Mokuba felt a little awkward with the attention, but they paid it no mind; they were too focused on their brides and their first dance. Seto and Mokuba actually had to admit the lyrics were pretty perfect: Misty sure had great musical taste and always knew the right songs to play. After their dance, there was loud applause and congratulatory whistling. Seto and Mokuba gave Misty and Sophia a kiss and earned more applause and cheering. Then, the dance floor filled with people again, some even doing dollar dances with Misty, Seto, Sophia, and Mokuba, paying them each a dollar for a regular and respectful waltz, and at midnight, they started the contest. Misty, Seto, Sophia, and Mokuba got in line, and then did a graceful move when it was their turn to be paraded in front of the guests. Sure, the other people in costumes were a stiff competition, but thankfully, Misty, Seto, Sophia, and Mokuba earned quite a bit of cheers and applause when they were announced. They were then in the top contenders, and everyone voted for them with thunderous applause and cheers. Misty beamed with joy, and her joy was infectious and spread to Seto, Sophia, and Mokuba. They were awarded $500 for a prize (which was handed to Seto) and given black and orange BEST COSTUME sashes. They took pictures, signed tax paperwork for their prize, danced for a bit more, and then hailed another Lyft back to the hotel. This time, Seto paid for the ride, and they went up to their rooms. Misty and Sophia started removing their makeup, and they all changed for bed and got back under the covers and gazed into their loves' eyes, before drifting off to a blissful sleep. This, by far, was the best Halloween EVER.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter update. Now, for them to enjoy married life, get everything on track, and prepare for the babies' arrival. FYI, there won't be anymore lemons for this story, as the next few chapters may be the last (unless y'all want me to continue with adventures featuring the children. If y'all want me to continue with adventures featuring the children growing up, then maybe we'll see). Any future mention of lovemaking at this point will be brief.
Don't forget, new reviews=new chapters released as soon as I'm finished writing them.
