Seto woke up the next morning and turned over to see Serena still peacefully sleeping next to him. 'What's come over me?' he thought to himself as he watched her. 'I started out the day planning to tell her everything and now look what happened.' He couldn't say that he didn't enjoy waking up next to her. He did, he just felt guilty. But, hey what would a couple more days of her thinking that she was his wife hurt? He reasoned to himself.  Being careful not to wake her up, he got out of bed and went to see if his brothers were up, he still had one more surprise for Serena. After all, it was her "birthday" and he might as well play off his lie to the fullest extent.

He came back to his room an hour later to find Serena still sleeping. He motioned to the boys to give him a few minutes before knocking on the door and giving her the present.  He hoped she liked it, but if he knew anything about her, after living with her these past two months, then she would like it. Seto sneaked back into bed and put him arm around her waist, as if he had been there all along. A few minutes later, all four boys began to knock on the door. Serena woke up with a start.

"Come on guys, let us sleep!" Seto yelled pretending to be annoyed. The boys continued their incessant knocking as Seto threw back the covers.

"That's it." He said standing up. "I'm going to punish them."

"No, Seto!" Serena protested as Seto threw open the bedroom door.

"Surprise!" All five boys yelled as they held out the basket. Serena's mouth hung open in surprise, while Seto brought the basket over for a closer inspection. Serena looked curiously in the basket to see a tiny calico colored kitten blinking up at her. Serena threw her hands to her mouth in surprise and happiness.

"A kitten!" she exclaimed as she picked up the tiny animal. The kitten gave a tiny mew before rubbing his head against her cheek.  

"Do you like it?" Yami asked hopefully.

"Yes, you guys, this is so sweet of you all." She gushed as she placed the now sleeping kitten in his basket on the floor.

"I know." Seto said pretending to be humble. Serena looked at him, her eyes full of gratitude. She loved cats, and even though they had two dogs and she liked their rambunctious behavior, something about not having a cat around her made it not really feel like home to her. Now she felt complete.

"Thank you." She whispered as she leaned in and gave him a kiss of thanks. Seto returned her kiss as he wrapped one arm around her and waved for the boys to leave with the other. The boys exchanged knowing glances as they closed the door, snickering about seeing their brother kissing a girl.

"Sit right there, and don't get dirty!" Serena instructed receiving a sigh of annoyance from the boys sitting outside on the picnic table.

"It's not so bad to get dressed up every once in a while" Joey commented.

"But I feel like a part of the Brady Bunch!" Yugi muttered as they turned to see Seto and Duke drive up.

"Seto's home." Mokuba observed.

"Mom, dad's home!" Yugi called alerting Serena. It had been two days since Serena's fake birthday and today was the grand opening of Duke and Seto's miniature golf course. Serena nodded to herself in the kitchen as she moved about doing last minute cleaning. Serena's kitten was rubbing about her ankles meowing for attention.

"Claws! I don't have time to pet you right now!" she scolded as she picked up the kitten anyway. She laughed as the little calico cat purred against her cheek and kneaded his claws against her shoulder, which was how he got his name. Claws had quickly learned who spoiled him the most, Serena, and stayed by her side constantly. Serena looked out the window as Seto parked the car. She went outside to greet the two men.

"How can you guys go watch a football game, on a day like this?" she admonished as Duke headed for his car.

"Easy, they don't play golf!" Duke commented.

"Watching a game helps us calm out nerves." Seto said. They hadn't really gone to a game; they had gone to Kaiba Corp. Now that Seto had this new golf thing added on to his business, he had a lot more work to do than normal.

"Well, I'm going inside to get dressed." Seto announced as Serena got into the truck and opened the glove compartment. She took out a rag from there and started dusting off the dashboard when a manila envelope caught her eye. She took it out and opened it. She gave a gasp when she pulled out a pair of women's underwear. She looked them over and realized there were two initials in black marker on the back. The initials were SS.
