Seto and Alex's decision
It had been nearly a full two months since Alexandra came back to Domino with her daughter Kisty. Seto had them stay with him at the mansion, even if Alexandra had her own palace to stay, being the niece Maxamillon Pegasus you could live in a castle, if she wanted to.
Seto would offend watch Alex as she would walk up the stairs to her room, after a long day at the small office of Industrial Illusions, she was the Vice President of the company and had to keep her job. Alex would stop half way up the stairs grab her side in pain, but not make a sound, however her face said it all. Every time Seto saw Alexandra do this, and at the exact moment, he moved, Alex would begin walking up the stairs again.
Kisty did not understand about her mother's condition, as to keep the girl in a child like state, Alex asked Seto not to tell their daughter that she was dying from the infection from the accident. Of course being Seto Kaiba, he kept his word and did not tell Kisty about it.
Kisty, however was very bright and did not need to say anything to Seto when she saw her mother almost collapse in pain in the hall one night after dinner. She would call Kaiba by his name and not Daddy or Dad, since he was not married to her mother, yet.
One afternoon
"Seto, Mommy doesn't need to be alone right now, does she?" asked Kisty one day as she and Seto sat outside in back yard of the mansion's patio. "No, but she wanted to rest Kisty, now stop asking me if she needs to be alone," he trying to hold back his annoyance of the question for the fifth time in the last hour, as he worked on his laptop.
"So what are you doing Seto?" she asked looking up at him with her sapphire blue eyes. Seto looked over at Kisty, at times he like the girl for her curiosity, but right now he did not want to be bothered or at least not by his daughter for he was trying to get something for her mother. "Look Kisty, I am busy at the moment, why don't you go find Mokuba or Lisa?" he asked her.
Kisty shook her head, "Mokuba went out with Lisa an hour ago to the mall, and they told me you weren't doing anything, important with work," she said smirking at her father. Seto rolled his eyes, "Oh, man Mokuba you little traitor," he whispered. "Kisty, if you want to know what I am doing come over here and sit on my lap," he said. Kisty walked over to Seto, jumped on his lap, and looked at the laptop. "You're looking at jewelry?" she asked sounding unsurprised. Seto chuckled, "Well it for your Mom," he spoke quietly. Kisty shook her head, "Which one you going to pick?" she asked. Seto shrugged, "I don't know yet, it seems that I can't decide," he said.
Kisty smirked, "I know, why you don't let me choose it, I know what she likes," she said.
Seto watched as his daughter took the touch pad and moved the selection tool (black pointers or ever its official name is called) and placed it on a beautiful but simple single pink diamond ring.
"What do you think?" Kisty asked Seto, he was shocked this four year old knew how to work a computer, as he watched his daughter then proceeded to input his credit card number as it sat right there on the table next to them.
"Not bad, any reason you two are buying me a ring?" asked Alex coming up behind them. Seto and Kisty turned, to see Alex's hair a mess wearing a blue shirt and jeans. "No reason," answered Seto.
Kisty giggled, "He was going to propose Mommy," she said jumping away from her father. Seto looked at Kisty, "Hey how did you…oh never mind you get that from me didn't you?" he said to his daughter. Kisty giggled and nodded, "I may be 4 but I am not stupid to know you like Mommy very much. I am going to leave you two to talk while I go watch Sailor Moon again," she said skipping away into the mansion.
"Is it me or does my daughter think we are a couple?" Alexandra asked Seto as she walked over to the laptop. Seto smirked, "You know she was right I was going to propose," he said in a calm voice.
Alex looked at Seto shocked, "What! You want to marry me even though I am dying. Seto, it's just not that I umm," she was starting to get nervous as Seto stood up.
"What's wrong Alex afraid of commitment?" he asked her, as she backed away from him. "No, just that I um, oh Seto no, I just don't" she said stumbling on her words for she really wanted to say no to his question but Alex was acting like a little teenage girl with a crash, which she had for Seto since she was 13.
"Alexandra," said Seto getting on one knee, "Would you consider me to be the father of you daughter and husband?" he asked. Alex wanted him to ask that, but now she could not answer as a jolt of pain went screaming through her body causing her to fall forward and in to Seto's arms. Seto caught Alex in his arms as she began to pass out, but he heard the words from her mouth before falling asleep, "Yes Seto I will," she spoke faintly, "marry you."
