Kaiba gasped, his mouth dropping at what Marik has just said, He couldn't believe it. How could one night of nothingness, lead to that whore getting pregnant with twins. He could believe getting pregnant, but with twins? It was rare, especially in vampires, but even so, he didn't want them, and a part of him hoped they died some how. Yes, it was mean of him to think, but he didn't care. Ever since he brought her home, she has been nothing but trouble. She's annoying, talks back, and makes me feel weird he thought. Kaiba stood there for a few moments, trying to think of what to say.
T-twins? Serenity stuttered in her mind. It's impossible she thought. I mean-no! This is all some sort of joke she thought. This can't happen! Not to me! She screamed in her mind. Everything seemed to be happening to her, everything she didn't want to happen. She felt as if she was being punished for things she had never done, and she hated it. It made her angrier more then anything.
"Serenity" Marik started. "This is not a joke, I wouldn't joke about this, but it's true" he stated, obviously, been listening to her thoughts. "It can't be, you want to know why? Because it's impossible and stupid. I've done nothing wrong all my life, yet I get all this! Besides, how can you tell I'm pregnant? Kaiba only. . .did what he did, about a week ago or so" she stated.
Marik rolled his eyes, rubbing his temples. "Serenity, you're not dealing with normal human beings. Your children are half vampire. They won't grow past the age of sixteen. Plus, we can tell quicker, because, your pregnancy won't last a full nine months like it would usually do" Marik said, hoping she would get it. Serenity thought for a moment. She was so stupid she yelled in her mind.
"So. . .how long will this last then?" she asked him quietly. "Well, perhaps maybe a month and a half to two months" he stated. She gasped. What the hell? That's so short she thought. "I see" was all she said, her mind thinking over it all. She was never pregnant before, and even so, she never knew anyone who was pregnant with vampire children. She had no idea what it would be like or what she would have to go through.
"So. . . what's going to happen?. . .I mean. . .everything" she said, pausing a few times. "Well, I did some research, and I found out some good news" Marik said. "Good, because I'd like to hear some, this is pure bull shit" Kaiba hissed. Marik ignored his comment, and continued on speaking.
"Well, like I clearly stated before, it's dangerous for having a non vampire have children, because, they will feed off her blood. But, I have found I loop hole. Serenity doesn't have to become a vampire! You see, the children, will only be at a stage to drink blood, perhaps after one month of being in her stomach and-"
"Can you please get to the point?" Kaiba growled. "Someone, wants to fest" he added. "I will if you stop interrupting me" Marik hissed back. "Now, if there won't be any more interruptions, I will continue" when no one said anything, he continued with his speech.
"Now, it takes a month before they will start to feed on her, and the good thing about this is, they will be almost fully grown, so, we can have them come out earlier then they need to be. It is dangerous, not for Serenity though. The children, because they could die from this" Marik finished, glad there were no interruptions this time.
"Oh. . .but, even so, I don't want them to die. . ." Serenity trailed off. She may not like what was happening, but she didn't want either of her children to die, because she was being selfish and didn't want to become a vampire. Maybe. . . .for them I will be she thought.
"Serenity, this is your decision. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. You can even have an abortion or-""Never! I will not kill a child, because of someone's cruelty" she replied. "I see" Marik stated. "I think she should. I don't want anything to do with these stupid things. They're nothing but a waste of time," Kaiba growled.
"Kaiba, calm down. Next time, control yourself and you won't be in such a situation," Marik stated. "Fuck you. I will decide what the hell she does. Not her. Now, I'm going to fest, I'll have my decision when I get back" he stated, walking away.
Serenity began to cry silently. "How dare he! He has no right to control me like this. No right at all. . ." she cried. "Serenity, try not to lose hope. Perhaps, Kaiba will do what's right in the end" Marik said. "No he won't. He'll have them killed just to spite me. The son of a bitch" she screamed.
Marik sighed. He could understand where she was coming from though. She had every right to be angry with him. Yet, reading her mind, he discovered she hadn't stated her answer in her mind. So, he decided he would ask her.
"Serenity. . .what would you decide to do?" he asked, making her stop crying, and look up at him.
---
Kaiba, despite what he had said, had not gone to fest, despite his great thirst. He was sitting on the tree, the full moon shinning down on him. He didn't think anything of how he behaved. He thought, he was being too nice actually. He didn't want to have children at all, especially with her. Well. . . he thought, but stopped.
Even so, he wasn't prepared for all of this. How come he just didn't kill her when he had the chance? I would have been a lot better off he thought. But even so, what is done is done. And now. . .I have to make a decision.
"You have to make a decision? Its her who should" a voice growled in his mind. Kaiba cursed. "Marik, get the hell out of my mind, before I make you suffer" Kaiba stated. "I will, but let me tell you this. You have no right whatsoever. You've done nothing bad things to her. Let her decide this! Must you make her whole life a living hell?" Marik asked, pleaded, hoping he would listen.
Kaiba chuckled evilly. "Don't tell me what to do, I will do what I want" Kaiba stated. When hearing no reply from Marik, he continued on his thoughts. Seeing as she is pregnant, I'm sure she will be hungry Kaiba thought, getting up, and flying to the nearest store.

Serenity sat in her room, looking at herself in the mirror. She had been. . .pregnant for about a week. And, she didn't really look it, but you could tell she had gained some weight. I wonder what will become of all of this she thought. I don't know why I got so upset before. I mean, shouldn't I be happy. . .happy about everything? That he might get rid of them? She asked herself.
I mean, do I really want be around children made by him? That will probably grow to be like him? And. . .when I see them, I know all I'll remember is what he did to me she thought sadly. But I guess. . .like Kaiba said, I have no choice in this. Even though, I am the one giving birth, I'm the one. . .she trailed off in her thoughts. I just wish I had a say in all this she thought. For once, he won't be so selfish, and care how I feel! She yelled in her mind.
Oh wells she thought sadly. Serenity was half way to her couch, ready to go to sleep, when she heard the door's lock, open. She froze in spot. He can't be back so early can he? She thought fearfully.
But, there he was, entering the room, his cold blue eyes watching her, sending shivers down her back. Each stood watching each other, when Kaiba threw the bag at her. "Food, you should eat, your pregnant and all" Kaiba stated, taking off his coat and laying on his bed. She turned to him. "Why would you care if I ate or not?" she asked.
He chucked evilly. "I don't, but, I do for my children" he stated. Serenity gasped, smiling slightly. "You mean. . ." she trailed off, walking closer to him. He glared, he knew she was happy. "Yes, yes. I'll let you keep the damn kids. But I have yet to decide whether you'll become a vampire or not" Kaiba stated. He was giving her a part of what she wanted; he couldn't completely give in could he?
Serenity smiled brightly, making Kaiba feel slightly. . .good. "Thank you so much Kaiba! For letting me have this!" she screamed, jumping on the bed, and crawling up to him. She didn't fear him now, he couldn't touch her she was pregnant. "What the hell are you doing? Get the hell of my be" Kaiba hissed sitting up.
"Thank you so much Kaiba, I really do appreciate this" she smiled, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Dammit, don't ever do that again" he hissed, pushing her away. "Sorry, I just got caught up in the moment," she giggled. He rolled his eyes, yet was surprised. It was the first time she had actually laughed in his presence.
"Anyway, goodnight" Serenity said, getting off the bed and walking over to the couch. "Wait, get back here, your not sleeping there. Like I said, I want these kids to be healthy, sleep here" he stated, pointing beside him.
"Um, I really don't want-""Now!" he growled. He was tired, and didn't feel like arguing. Immediately, she got to the bed, laying down stiffly. "Calm down, I don't bite. . .well, I do, but, I won't bite you tonight" he smirked, blowing out the candle. "Um, okay" she said fearfully.
"By the way, just out of curiosity, if you could chose, would you become a vampire?" he asked her.
Serenity bit her lip, but thinking over it, she had an answer. "Well Kaiba, I think I. . . "
