" Poor Mai.."
Serenity was really concerned for Mai, even if she was alittle mean and rude like Kaiba. Joey had watched the door shut in his face still imaging Kaiba's chestnut hair from a few seconds ago, and how heartless he truly was.
Joey looked over as he cursed under his breath, as the others seemed quite even Yugi more quiet then usual.
" That jerk, I can't believe he would do this. He's got enough money to support the baby meanwhile he walks off with him with his loads of cash not noticing what's happening!" Mai looked over to Joey as the others watched Joey grit his teeth as she let Serenity hold the baby.
" Joey just drop it. Many things have gone wrong in my life, and I think I'm use to it by now. Kaiba, there's no point of wasting time on him either."
Yugi bit his upper lip as he was stunned not even saying a word, to make the situation any better either. Usually he'd have something smart come out of his mouth, but what Kaiba had said made everyone quiet, and mad as this now seemed to be Joey's and Mai's conversation.
Joey just sat down and huffed as he ruffled with his teethed blonde hair, trying to think of something but his mind was short, and fused and he had always let Kaiba get to him, and on his nerves. Tea and Serenity turned they gloomy faces bright as Mai's mood didn't seem to change, and everyone could see in Mai's eyes that she knew if she had ever gotten Seto for the father he wouldn't support her no matter what, and who knew he was that heartless.
" Mai listen. You don't have to give that kid away. Me and Serenity could help you out with him and get the load off your back."
Mai looked at the others and shook her head as Serenity calmed the baby crying in the room giving it to Joey one last time.
" Guys I can't let you guys do this. I mean let's face it this was one reason why I hated guys and that I'm not letting my friends bring it apoun themselves to help me with this child. All of you know you guys have tons of other things to do, and high school and stuff. I shouldn't let this situation get out of hand"
The others looked at Mai as the attention was then drawn to Joey, as soon they heard laughter as Joey rolled on his back holding the baby up ever so gently, but gripped in his arms as a small giggle came out of the child, as Joey had his hair in his face making funny faces like he usually did. Tea stopped the silence as it began to irritate her and the others as she smiled at Joey then looking up at Mai with a bright smile.
" You got a name for the child yet Mai?"
Mai just smiled as they heard Joey talking in the baby-waby kind of voice every person did towards they child and that got a laugh out of the guys too.
" Well for one Joey insists on me naming it after him, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon. Well I have picked out a name already for him. I decided to call him Jake."
" That's a cute name."
Both of the girls awed as they watched the kid never seeing a very young child quite amused before.
" Maybe by this name Joey could be known as "Uncle Joey." Seeing that every uncle I know is exactly like him."
Duke just threw into the conversation as Tristan gave a confused yet amused look as Duke fell back down against the wall. All the boys felt really bad for Mai, including Yugi and Joey considering they were also with Mai at the time when that happened to her and both felt kind of guilty, but Joey was even more upset that the baby was no the less related to the miserable cold, blooded jerk that cared not even for child that was his. Yugi looked up staring at my with concern as she looked down at little Yugi laying on the carpet with half of his body standing up.
" Mai, listen I think it would be fair and all since me and Joey were there when it happened you know to help out with the baby. Really Mai I feel guilty about it and all."
Mai shook her head as she never seen Yugi so concerned in his life before, even though he was a guy and didn't know exactly everything about babies either.
" Yugi, don't worry about this is up to me now. Even though you were there you shouldn't be guilty about it, it was really no ones fault it just happened, although none of us there remember it."
" Well can we at least baby sit it?"
Serenity and Tea smiled at her as the baby's laughing scream went higher as the guy's covered they hurting ears from the painful screaming high-pitched sound.
Joey slowly walked towards Mai, carrying the baby cradled in his arms, as the baby fell soundly asleep in Joey's arms. Each time Mai gave the baby to one of the others it cried but when it was in Joey's arms the baby never seemed to cry, and Mai was quite taken by that. As Joey approached with the small sleeping infant cradled in his warm arms Mai thought Joey was tried of looking after the baby. But as she looked in his eyes she could tell Joey was serious about something, and he looked like he thought of it for awhile.
" Mai listen to me for once. I know I can't make Kaiba help with the baby as much as us wanted him too but sometimes I wish that was true. I'm not letting you giving that baby away Mai. Even though this started out as an accident and all well now it's gotten worse. Listen Mai, even though it isn't Yugi's baby, or my baby for that matter I'm going to help you with this kid, in anyway Mai. I may not know a lot about babies or anything but I know one thing, they need a real father to count on someone to be by they're side, and I see Kaiba isn't that at all.
Everyone seemed shocked listening to Joey talk as he was sure that he wanted to do this. Even though he wasn't the father everyone could see he wanted to be, and know that everyone thought about it ( even his sister) they could see Joey seemed like he would be the greatest father, if it was really truly his.
" Joey what are you trying to say?"
Mai knew he was being courageous and all, but he was damn serious about it and Mai didn't want to put pressure on none of her friends to step up and do so. But as Joey yelled abit, it didn't even phase the young boy Jake, who was still sleeping silently in Joey's protective arms.
" Mai I think you know what I'm saying. Listen I'm not letting you suffer or that kid suffer because Kaiba decides he won't help or even be there even to support the baby on bit. Mai, trust me with the money left over from Serenity's operation I can help you money wise supporting the kid and you."
Mai looked shocked as she stared into Joey's deep dark crimson eyes that lit up as he held the baby looking down as Joey still stood quietly serious that he'd do anything for Mai, no matter what and he kept his promises no matter what the situation, or risk he was willing to take it.
" Joey no. I mean ever since you moved into that apartment with you sister money has been tight with you and you're going to give that extra money you guys really need in order to help this baby out? Joey, no matter I can't accept you were the one who needed money badly for rent, until you moved into a house. Joey your risking everything!"
Mai looked at Serenity and Joey was known to take matter into his own hands at many times, and wrong times but Joey knew he kept his promises. As joey stood waiting for Mai's response Serenity slowly spoke up timidly as she really didn't want to interfere but she knew she had to say something really important.
" Mai, I know my brother really seems to be putting everything on the line here, and yes money is tight but we've got ways to get around that. Trust me, I wouldn't let my brother do this if he didn't know what he was doing but Mai. But I trust him on this, anyways he's got two part time jobs and he'll make enough money to support him, and myself."
" Ya right like he knows what he's doing."
Tristan whispered to Duke as Tea shoved her elbow right it Tristan's guts causing him to huff and hurt under silence. Mai thought slowly and confused, that Joey was putting everything on the line and Joey was alright with it. She was completely quiet and she knew they was no point of arguing with Joey, but she was worried if Serenity and Joey had enough for themselves. Mai just hated being intimated by Joey, and when he gave his serious look she felt even more intimated from Joey then before.
" No reason fighting with him either."
Mai slowly still felt like that as Joey made her felt under his foot almost being controlled like almost Kaiba would do just with his eyes. She knew Joey would do anything for anyone and he was stubborn enough not to listen to others when they wanted him too. She looked at Jake slowly waking up from Joey's arms yawning as he rested his head more into Joey's arms.
" Joey I'll consider the idea.."
Joey smiled abit even though he was throwing himself on the line, but he knew this kid really needed a true father, and Mai needed someone to support her friend or not, and Joey would risk it to help her. Joey smiled as he hovered over Mai handing the sleeping baby carefully into Mai's open arms, as Mai felt like Joey was already the true father and that's what always hit her. He was an idiot normally but when he was with a kid, they seemed to be attached and so amused by him even though Mai couldn't figure it out. Joey then quietly walked to the door with Serenity heading back to the apartment as Mai slowly stopped Joey.
" Hey Joey?"
Joey slowly turned around before he shut the door.
" Ya Mai?"
" Thanks Joey this means a lot to me."
She smiled as Joey gave a small nod and his cute irresistible smile as he walked out the door.
( Ya I know I said one last chapter but I'm having to much fun writing it.!
Anyways just in this story that Serenity and Joey live in an apartment to get away from his abusive dad, and mom if you were wondering.Anyways I'll write alittle bit more each time until I'm totally done. Don't know when that is. But I'll write until my fingers burn! )
Serenity was really concerned for Mai, even if she was alittle mean and rude like Kaiba. Joey had watched the door shut in his face still imaging Kaiba's chestnut hair from a few seconds ago, and how heartless he truly was.
