Chapter one: Foreshadowin' for the Reader's Interest
by Aphrodites #183
This is foreshadowing 11 months later:
"No! This baby is not his concern anymore!" Serenity shouted to the top of her lungs at Joey from the upper level of the house. She tried not to stress herself into harming the baby that rested in her belly, but what Joey had just said made her so angry inside.
Serenity had changed dramatically after she had gotten married to Seto Kaiba. She seemed happy with him, but she was tortured inside. It was not like she had a choice to be married, she was forced to because of her brother's debt.
It seemed as if her husband didn't care for her, all he cared for was the company and nothing else. Even when he found out that his wife was pregnant. He had been excited, but it was only less than a month before he return back to his daily routine of ignoring her. He had even suspected that the baby doesn't belong to him and because of that Seto and Serenity got into an awful fight. Serenity even moved into Joey's new house that he had used her money to buy.
Joey worked at trying to return Serenity to Kaiba. There were just so many things that a guy couldn't do in the house with a nine month old pregnant sister hanging around, like throwing things around. The other reason was, of course, the baby's coming soon and well, it just wasn't convenient.
"Look, Ren... the baby's comin', like, real soon. So I think you'll need 'Moneybags' durin' that time, that's all," Joey said, trying to explain this to his sister the best way he can.
Over time (after the Seto and Serenity marriage), Joey had changed just as much because of all he had been though. He had always wanted her sister to have a better life, although it hadn't gotten any better. But after being hunt down and almost kill by a casino gang which he had borrow money from (Joey had a gambling problem), Joey had learn to enjoy his life and had changed a great deal on his thoughts and views about money.
Almost completely involuntarily, Joey quickly pulled out a pack of cigarettes and started to light one. He lifted it to his dry lip and puff the smoke in from the lighter.
"Ren, i'm just tellin' ya that it's just fer' ya own good."
Serenity suddenly detected an unfavorable scent presented to her by breezes from an open window somewhere, and she drifted toward it. She stood on the top of the staircase and glared displeasingly at Joey, who hung by the bottom of the stairs.
With one hand supported behind her waist and another gingerly patting her overly bulging belly, she spat angrily,
"Joey, do you know what second-hand smoke can do to a baby?!"
Joey finally realized that he was smoking. Grunting in frustration, he threw the lighter down and stomped at it until it cracked under the heel of his forbidden boot like a broken heart. The inflammable liquid from the lighter soaked into the crimson red carpet, permeating.
"I quit it already, I swear," Joey protested, the cancer-stick between his fingers still.
Serenity look at him and sighed. She proceeded to decline the staircase, but neither one saw the tell tale tear in the carpet that lined it. Oblivious to the tear, Serenity cried out as she tripped. Joey gasped and jolted, reaching to catch Serenity, and absent-mindedly dropped the cigarette from his hand. The cigarette landed in the inflammable liquid that was spilled earlier, and a fire spawned.
Serenity was lucky enough to have grabbed the railing just before anymore harm was done. The earlier breeze had grown into a full blown wind, spreading the fire here and there in blotches, including the stairs. There was no way to get down to the first floor now and the fire seem to be growing out rapidly all over the dainty red carpet of the staircase.
Serenity hurried to the second floor washroom, about to retrieve a pale of water to put out the flames, when the unexpected happens. Serenity felt a jolt of pain at her stomach. She grabbed the hem of her shirt, a reflex from the pain in her stomach, and winced as the pain emerged again.
She had gotten off the flight of stairs and sat herself in the hallway where Joey could still see her.
"Serenity, what's wrong?" Joey looked worriedly at his little sister.
"Joey, I..." Serenity started to feel a watery substance trickling down her legs. "Joey," she yelped, "The baby's coming!!!"
Joey grew shocked and taken by horror; never in his life had he have felt so helpless in saving his own sister. This was crazy. This was one of the biggest moments of his life (he's about to be an uncle) and there was no way he could get his sister and her child to safety.
The flames consumed the whole stairway and is was too stretched to be put out by water. Serenity had somehow manage to pick herself up and move to the room farthest from the fire, keeping away from the smoke for as long as she could.
Now there is only one thing left to do... call Kaiba for help...
