Actually, I don't really own much of anything, so please don't sue me!!!


~~~~~The Next Day~~~~~


"So?" Kaiba asked, looking at the video phone on his desk. The doctor looked at his chart for a second, and sighed.

"Well, she's healthy so far, but that probably won't last for long." the doctor shook his head. Kaiba's eyebrow raised minutely.

"And.....?" Kaiba asked, watching the doctor glance around nervously.

"She's just so... small. And twins don't make matters any better. She'll have a hard time towards the end, if she survives at all." the doctor shook his head sadly, closing the folder.

"Twins?" Seto asked, skeptically. "Did you tell her this?"

"Yes, but she said she didn't want to know the sex. I gave her a prescription for some vitamins, and told her to come back in a month." the doctor said, rubbing his forehead as Seto sighed.

"Boys, or girls?" Kaiba asked, jotting something down just out of sight.

"Both, as far as I can tell. I'll be a little more sure in a month. I have to tell you sir... it might be three, I couldn't get a clear picture." Seto had to do his best to control his surprise, jotting down yet more numbers to the side. He was beginning to very much not like the sound of what the doctor had to say.

"Thank you. Please, send me the bill, and any future ones she might have." Seto said, the doctor nodding as he hung up, Seto leaning back in the chair with a groan.

All this time, he had cared for Yugi, more than he even did for Mokuba, at times. And all the time he had denied his feelings, and now, here she was, pregnant, and he could barely convince her to trust him. He cursed Yami mentally for getting her into such a dangerous mess, looking up as Mokuba strolled into the room.

"Hey, what's this?" Mokuba asked, picking up the notepad, looking at the numbers jotted down.

"Nothing, at least, not yet." Seto sighed, not wanting to lie to his little brother, or break Yugi's trust.

"Yeah, a lot of money for nothing. Who are the bank accounts for?" Mokuba asked, leaping out of Seto's reach. Seto groaned, and sighed, holding out his hand.

"Fine, I'll tell, but you have to promise to not tell anyone, anyone at all!" Seto snapped, and Mokuba grinned, sitting down on the couch.

"Cross my heart and hope to die!" Mokuba grinned, tossing the notepad back to Seto.

"Yugi..... Yugi's a little different than from what most people assume...." Seto paused for a second, wondering how he would explain everything to Mokuba.

"Yeah, he's a she." Mokuba sighed, rolling his eyes as Seto's jaw dropped.

"But, but how did you know?" Seto demanded. "How long did you know!"

"Since I first met her. Just something about the way she acts sometimes. I didn't tell anyone, though, so don't worry about it. But, what's the money for, and why so much?" Mokuba pointed at the writing tablet once more, Seto still glaring at Mokuba.

"Yeah, but don't keep secrets like that from me, okay?" Mokuba sighed, and rolled his eyes, nodding, "They're for her children."

Mokuba's eyes went wide, staring at Seto, and his tongue got caught in his mouth as he sputtered, nearly laughing. He couldn't believe the words coming out of Seto's mouth. He hadn't though anyone else knew, let alone for it to get so far.

"I.... You really are a nice guy Seto, no matter what anyone else says." Mokuba smiled, and Seto grinned.

"Yeah, I know. Now, why don't you go back to your homework, I have work to do. And remember, if anyone asks, Yugi's sick, okay?" Mokuba grinned, and gave a thumbs up, dashing from the room as Seto sighed, going back to the computer.....


"So, what did the doctor say?" Yami asked nervously as Yugi chewed on a plate of Mac and Cheese.

"Said I was fine." Yugi grinned, watching Yami eye her nervously.

"And..... the child.....?" Yami asked nervously, trying not to lose his patience and just shake his aibou.

"Children, Yami, children. As in two." Yugi smiled as Yami nearly went into a dead faint. Pharaoh of Upper and Lower Egypt he could handle, hands down, no problem. But twins? That was something else, of nearly an entirely different category. That meant two little ones running around with spiky hair, screaming Papa at him.

"You mean.... two? Twins!" Yami stuttered, and Yugi rolled her eyes, stuffing another forkful of food into her mouth with a nod.

"That's usually what two means, Yami. At least, last time I looked. Wonder what I should name them?" Yugi thought for a second, and Yami grinned.

"Yami 2 and Yami Jr., eh?" Yugi glared the spirit down, and Yami smiled meekly, Yugi shaking her head.

"Yami, spirit or not, I can still kick your ass!"

"You mean stomach or not!" Yami pointed out, leaning back and laughing. Yugi merely smiled.

"Yeah, go ahead and laugh, but you're going to be on diaper changing duty!" Yugi smiled, and Yami sighed, pausing for a second in mid grin.

"Yugi, did you... tell Grandfather?" Yami asked, and Yugi went white, shaking her head.

"Oh God, I totally forgot! How am I going to explain this!" Yugi shrieked, jumping up. Yami sighed, pushing her back down in the chair.

"First, I'll explain. You are going to finish eating. And then, we think of names." Yami said, and Yugi smiled up at him.

"Ever the Knight in Shining Armor, eh, Yami?" Yugi smiled, and Yami grinned.

"You mean Pharaoh, don't you!" Yugi laughed, eating another mouthful of cheesy goodness......


"Grandfather?" Yami asked, after half an hour of trying to get through to Yugi's grandfather, he seemed to have finally been transferred to the right place.

"Yami, that you? Is everything all right?" Grandfather asked, worried. Yami wouldn't have called unless something was amiss.

"Everything's fine, Grandfather. But, you might want to sit down for this." Yami said, looking over at Yugi was staring anxiously at him.

"Yami, what is it? What's wrong!?" Grandfather demanded, and Yami sighed, looking over at Yugi nervously.

"Nothings wrong, but....." Yami trailed off, looking over at Yugi, suddenly unsure of how to break the news to Grandfather, all his confidence failing him.

"But what! Just tell me Yami, don't make me suffer like this!" Grandfather demanded, his temper rising a notch, and Yami sighed.

"Grandfather, Yugi's.... pregnant....." Yami trailed off, Yugi hearing the shout clearly over the phone.

"Yugi's what! But who!? YAMI!!!!" Grandfather shouted, trying desperately to keep a control of his temper, barely reigning it in.

"She, well, it's twins Grandfather." Yami sighed as Grandfather swore clearly, and Yugi took the phone from Yami with a weak smile.

"Grandpa, please, try to understand..." Yugi whispered, Grandfather pausing for a moment.

"Yugi, I swear to God I'm going to castrate Yami the moment I get back! I'm taking the next plane!" Grandfather shouted, and Yugi rolled her eyes, sitting down on the couch.

"Grandfather, you will do neither. Everything's under control over here, and you're needed over there. Who else could help them in the digs over there?" Yugi asked, and Grandfather sighed.

"Yugi, how long until they're due?" Grandfather asked, and Yugi smiled.

"In five months, December." Yugi smiled, and Grandfather shook his head with a growl.

"I swear to God, I'm going to throttle Yami when I get back! But, are you okay?" Grandfather asked, and Yugi laughed.

"Grandfather, I'm sure he'll have his own torture with diapers! And yes, I'm fine. I'll see you in a month, okay?" Yugi smiled, and Grandfather nodded with a grin.

"I'll see you, and Yami, when I get back. And you tell him that he's still not off the hook!" Grandfather grinned, and hung up after he exchanged good bye's with Yugi.

"So?" Yami asked, wrapping his arms around Yugi.

"He's says he's going to castrate you!" Yugi smiled, snuggling as Yami let out a groan.

"Jeez, thanks!" Yugi merely smiled, and tickled at his ribs.

"Don't worry, he still won't be home for another month!" Yugi smiled, and Yami grinned, turning out the lights.......


~TSUZUKU~


He he, don't we all love it when Grandfather gets mad!

Good thing Grandpa doesn't have super powers, or Yami would be ball-less from across the world!!!

Well, R&R, more is on the way!!

And, for any who ask, Seto is just being friendly, and a deeply concerned friend, trying to look out for Yugi. Nothing more. No more evil, wicked bad guy portrayals, I swear!!!
