Chapter 2
All is lost

At the hospital Tea, Tristan, and Yugi's Grandfather were waiting for Seto. "Where is Alec?" Seto snapped at the gang.

Tea looked at the ground then back up at Kaiba, "Alec is in emergency surgery, Kaiba, you need to calm down and wait like the rest of us, were all worried about her and the baby," she said to him knowing that temper of Kaiba's was about to blow.

Seto was more worried about Alec then his own child at that time, "Does anyone know what happened to her?" he barked.

Yugi took a deep breath knowing that he did not say anything on the way to the hospital with Seto and Mokuba. "Alec was in a car accident she was hit bad in the side and on her stomach, I saw the accident as I was walking to your place to visit her, she asked me to come over saying she wasn't feeling well," he admitted.

Seto looked at the ground, "should have gotten off work and taken her home myself, she told me that she wasn't feeling well and all I did was sit in my office all day when I could have taken her home myself," he snapped punching a near by wall.

A doctor came by a few hours later, "Mr. Kaiba, I am doctor Vaunt, now to put you're worrying a side Alec will make a full recovery, how ever?" Seto was worried about this, "However?" he said mocking the doctor.

The doctor took a breath, "Alec lost the baby, and she had a large amount of bruising and a slight stab wound in and around her stomach which caused her to have a miscarriage, I am sorry, Mr. Kaiba to inform you of this," he said.

Seto's face went from worry to complete sadness he felt like punching the wall again. Dr. Vaunt continued, "She is in recovery right now, awake if you like to speak to her," he said.

Seto looked at the ground his fist clenched for not being there to get Alec home safely, to protect her as he promised. "Yeah, I like to see, her," he said slowly.

The doctor motioned to follow him, Seto began to follow, he looked back at the gang, "Yugi, she's your sister after all, I think you should come along as well," he said calmly. Yugi got up and walked with Seto while everyone else sat and waited for them to return.

Alec was in a large bed, her face with tear lines on it, Seto knocked on the door, and opened it "Alec can I come in?" he asked. "Yes, come in, is anyone with you?" spoke Alec in a shaky voice.

Yugi popped his head in, "I am here, and if you don't want me to be I can go, if you want me to," he said behind Seto.

Alec motioned for Yugi to enter with Seto. Seto took chair and sat at Alec's right side, he then wiped her tears from her face.

Alec had badges around her right hand and right leg was in a cast. "I guess the doctor told you what happened," said Alec slowly taking small breathes. Seto turned and looked at the floor, "Yeah he did," he said taking a sigh.

Yugi stood at the left of Alec, she looked at him "Does everybody know?" she asked her brother. Yugi gave a nod, "Yeah, they know, Alec, we're all here for you, if you need us," he said. Alec grabbed her brother's hand, "Thanks Yugi."

Seto looked at the two, Yugi and Alec had grown closer over the past year after they had been separated for more then 17, Seto could see they had a bond, on that he shared with Mokuba. "Alec how did this happen?" asked Seto, taking his mind of the bond between Yugi and Alec.

Alec looked down, "I was in the limo when out of no where some guy, just plows right into it and I was thrown around in the back. When I came too I was here in the hospital and the doctor telling me that I lost the baby," she started to cry, "Seto I am so sorry, I know you wanted a child of your own so badly."

Seto nodded and gently pulled Alec into his arms, "We can try again, as soon as you're better, at least this time I won't have to build a nursery," he said trying to make his wife feel little better.

Alec gave a little laugh, but then grabbed her side, which hurt from the accident and surgery. Alec told them that one of the car parts that had caused the miscarriage as it stabbed her womb that held the baby; she barely made it through the car crash.

Alec and Seto let everyone else visit, and they gave their condolences for losing the unborn baby. When everyone left to go home, Seto, Mokuba, and Yugi stayed. Mokuba was on his cell phone to Sara, who wanted to talk to Alec. "Alec, how are you feeling?" asked Sara once Mokuba handed Alec the phone. "I am doing better then I was two hours ago," Alec answered, "Sara I feel horrible, I hate this, all my emotions are driving me nuts, and how you deal with losing your first child?"

Sara was quiet then a noise came from the other end Odeon was yelling for Sara to help him change the dipper of their daughter, Melissa who was fighting her father's attempts to change her dipper.

"Well," said Sara, "I am still dealing with it, I mean Alec, and I was able to make it to the full 9 months but only one of the twins survived you know that. Look, I have to go help Odeon, he is having trouble with Melissa and dippers again, and I think we had better start potty training her soon. Sis, if you can make it through a beating with Gosaburo then you can handle anything remember that, I will call tomorrow you rest up, ok bye Dragon," she said.

Bye Red Eyes" said Alec and hung up Mokuba's cell phone and handed it back to him, which then he proceeded to call Yamu.

Seto looked at Alec, "Well what she say?" he asked. Alec gave a half smirk, "Says that I just need to rest and she will talk to me more about it tomorrow. She had to go change Melissa's dipper, that girl is a handful, good thing, Sara had the baby first and not me," Alec smiled a bit.

Seto gave a half laughed and sighed, "When doctor say you and I start try to have another kid?" Alec looked at the ground, "Seto I still trying to get over losing our unborn baby and recover," her voice went to a low and quiet tone, "can we put that on hold?" she asked. Seto nodded, "Take all the time you need."

Sorry if I made Seto, a little too nice, do not worry the whole thought of him being a dad really had me thinking how he would react to be honest I found it quiet funny to make him nervous. Guys like him, could change to a guy who worries about things just to show the man is afraid of father hood, but now that he is not going to be one right now I am going to putting the attitude back in him.)

Alec got a call from Sara then next day, Sara was surprised to find out that Alec was back home already by the next morning. "Sis, I thought you were supposed to be in the hospital. They let you go?" said Sara once she called Alec at home.

"Yes, Sis the doctor said there was no reason for me to stay, so Seto carried me up the stairs and in to bed where I am going to be for the next few weeks, since my leg is in a cast and stitches from the surgery on my side," explained Alec.

Sara let a laugh out at her sister, "And surgery isn't something they're not going to let you rest up from, Alec when I had the twins I was in the hospital for at least a few days not 12 hours like you. You had a miscarriage, which by the way is more serious, so how are you taking it right now?" Sara asked knowing she was stepping on thin ice with Alec.

Alec let out a sigh, "Sara, you said you talk to me about how you dealt losing one of your babies, I not dealing with mine right now, I just feel like all the preparation and everything was a waste," Alec began to get upset.

Sara let a sigh, "Alec to be honest I am still dealing with it, I mean my son only lived two days, I was devastated, there I was with two twins both thought to be healthy; when I come to find that one of them had an underdeveloped heart, and dead. That happen a few months ago, look you will be fine."

Alec listened, and thought back to a few months ago, some time after the weddings, to when she, Mokuba, and Seto went to Egypt to see Sara after hearing that she was labor. Alec was so nervous at the time; she always wanted a niece or nephew.

When they all arrived at the hospital, Sara was holding two babies in her arms, a girl and a boy. Sara thought it would be nice if Alec help her choose a name for the boy while Odeon and Seto picked one for the girl.

Alec and Sara settled on Luke for the boy, Seto and Odeon couldn't come up with a good girl name but then Mokuba shouted Melissa and the baby girl laughed when he said it, so that is how Sara's daughter got her name.

When Alec saw the look in Seto's eyes as he was holding his niece, she knew he wanted one of his own. He fit the father figure at that moment; Alec watch him rocked the baby to sleep while Sara rested and Odeon went to get some food.

Alec was holding her nephew Luke in her arms at the time, Seto saw that Alec looked like a mother at that moment as she saw him in the father figure; he wanted to make her one as well.

Two days later the doctor came in to tell Sara and Odeon that Luke had died in the night, it was do to a heart failure, Sara divested cried for hours while Alec tried to console her step sister. A week later Alec, Mokuba, and Seto left back to Domino and less then a month later Alec was pregnant.

"Alec, you just have to take it one day at a time, ok, look you and Seto can try again here once you are all better," said Sara on the phone.

"I don't think I want to try again, Sara, I feel that if I get pregnant again I will lose that baby too," worried Alec.

Sara scoffed, "Look Alec you were in a car accident, you got hit in the stomach it wasn't your fault, be happy at least you're alive, as long as you're alive you can have babies, ok, now it not like the doctor told you couldn't have children," spoke Sara in a insuring tone.

Alec was silent on the phone, Sara noticed it right off the bat, "Oh no Alec the doctor did tell you that you couldn't, didn't he?" Sara asked in a now worried voice.

Alec spoke in quiet and sobbing voice, "He did Sara, I haven't told Seto yet, I can't have babies because…" Alec paused to wipe a few tears away from her eyes, "Because, I got a lot of damage from the wreck, that I may not be able to hold a child a full term also if I do become pregnant I could die while giving birth," she cried.

Sara was feeling sorry for her sister, she knew Alec wanted a child badly, and how she knew that someday Seto would make a great dad that dream was now slipping away.

"Alec I am so sorry, I wish that I could trade places with you, so you could be a mother," said Sara. Alec sobbed some more, "NO you don't, you only wish that Luke survived, that is why, Sara. I hate the fact you have a daughter and mine is dead," Alec was letting out her anger at her sister, she did not know why.

Sara knew that her sister did not mean any of it because of her current condition Sara cut Alec some slack. "Alec I want you to listen to me, your in a lot of pain and your on pain killers, so I am going to say this once, you need to move on and get on with your life, ok. Be happy you're alive, I want you to do that for me ok, and no more crying."

Alec sobbed, "Sara, I sorry, but I will try, this is hard for me, you know?"

Sara felt for her sister, "Alec, no one said losing a child was easy ok, you need to pick yourself up. Now can you tell me about the guy who rammed his car in to you?" asked Sara.

Alec pulled her self together, "No, only that it was a hit and run job, the guy left as soon as he hit me. The police say that, the car he was driving was stolen, so they cannot track the man down. Sis I have to go now, I kind of feeling tired, I think my meds are making me sleepy," said Alec yawning.

Sara and Alec said their good byes and hung up the phone. Alec then lay against the pillows that were her backrests; she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Seto came home from work a few hours later and went right up stairs to check on Alec, she was still asleep. Seto looked at his bruised wife, he remember her like this once before except she didn't have a caste on her leg instead it was a large badge on her side from the stab wounds which Gosaburo gave her years ago. Seto was surprised he never saw the scar from that attack on his wedding night with Alec, which made him wonder what Alec got from Kisara last time they saw her.

(Give you two guesses what Kisara did to Alec at the temple last story)

Seto moved Alec's blue haired bangs from her face and gently kissed her forehead. She moved and opened her eyes slowly, Seto sat at her side, "hey, I am home safe and sound," he said.

Alec took his hand, "I know, you are or else you wouldn't be here," she said in tired childish voice, "I was sleeping."

"Sorry to wake you but I wanted to make sure you were still alive, or hungry for some food," he said. Alec gave a light laugh but then went back into a frown, "I am going to go back to sleep, ok I will eat later," she said.

Seto kissed her on the forehead again, "Ok, you rest; I have a duel monster match to go too. I see you when you wake up ok; Mokuba is down stairs with his cell phone if you need anything," he said. Alec nodded and closed her eyes where she slowly drifted off to sleep.

Alec could not remember the dream; however, the large crashing sound that came down the hall woke her up. Seto was next to her asleep but now wide-awake; it was in the middle of the night. "What the?" he said.

Alec turned her head to face him; he saw that Alec heard the noise too. Seto jumped out of bed and headed for the door; Alec reached over and turned on the light taking a steel bat in her hands that she kept next to the bed.

Seto opened the door and turned on the hall light, "Mokuba!" he said in shock. Alec let out a sigh of relief. Seto looked at his 17-year-old brother who was on the floor, with a girl around his age; lipstick was on the boy's face, along with a hicky on the girl's neck. "Seto, umm, this isn't what it seems," he said in a panic.

Alec raised an eyebrow, "Mokuba, what are you doing at 12:00am with a girl in our hallway then?"

Seto looked at his brother, "Mokuba you know the rules, No sex till your married, you want to know the out come of that we already seen it with Alec, I don't want an unexpected child with you being 17 almost 18 years old," he snapped.

"Seto, I wasn't doing that it just Yamu and I were studying and she fell and we kind of started kissing," Mokuba tried to explain.

Alec laughed, she did not know which was funnier the story or the truth. "Mokuba, you're going to be 18, you know the rules and yet that story would make since if it wasn't for the fresh hicky that is on Yamu's neck," said Seto, Mokuba face was now all red, Yamu's was too.

Mokuba stood up and helped Yamu off the floor the two were both embarrassed. "Mokuba, I am going to take Yamu home now, you are to go to bed and no, on second thought, you know what, bed now!" barked Seto.

Mokuba's head dropped, "Yes big brother," he then turned to Yamu, "I will see you tomorrow, night Yamu." He then moved to kiss her, but Seto cleared his throat, then he moved away and headed towards his room.

Yamu stood embarrassed, "Alec why don't you talk to Yamu, while I call the driver for her and have a chat with her boyfriend," suggested Seto.

Alec nodded her head and motioned for Yamu to come forward, "Yamu don't worry I don't bite, I may be in a caste, but I won't yell at you," said Alec in a sweet voice. Seto shut the door as Yamu took a seat next to Alec on the bed; he went off to Mokuba's room.

"I am sorry Mrs. Kaiba," Yamu spoke looking at the floor feeling so ashamed. Alec smiled, "You like my little brother in law don't you?" she asked.

Yamu looked up at Alec, she was expecting a lecture, "Yes, I think I am in love with him." Alec laughed, "Don't worry your secret is safe with me. Anyways what were two doing in the hall and tell me the truth, I won't tell Seto, I promise."

Yamu smiled, "We were on our way to the nursery that you and Mr. Kaiba built, and Mokuba wanted to show it to me after a few hours of studying for the exam." Alec understood that, Seto and she did a good job with the little baby room.

Yamu continued, "Anyways after he show it to me, he turned off the light and kissed me, then one thing lead to another and well I tripped on my way out the door in the dark. Mokuba fell over me and then we started making out on the floor and that is when Mr. Kaiba opened the door," she said and turned her eyes to the ground.

"Yamu, how close were you to taking Mokuba's clothes off?" Alec asked. Yamu eyes opened wide, "Umm, well, I wasn't going to, but I came really close to ripping his pants off," Yamu stopped she realized what she just said; another shade of red covered her face.

Alec laughed, "That's ok sweetie it only natural, I should know there were times before Seto and I were married that we almost did the same thing. Yamu, I completely understand and there is nothing to be embarrassed about, ok. Do me a favor ok, no more sneaking around, ok especially at this time of night."

Yamu was shocked that Alec was so calm about this; she wondered what Mokuba was getting for this. "Yamu you and Mokuba are almost 18 the age of being an adult you and him just need to control your urges for a while, ok. Anyways I think it time I get some sleep and Seto will drive you home ok, he will probably say some things to you, but I doubt it, just keep the red in your face and I think your will be fine."

Yamu looked up at Alec, "really Mrs. Kaiba, I thought you and Seto were going to be yelling at me."

Alec laughed, "Yelling isn't my forte but for Seto it is, Yamu, I want you to call me, Alec, ok, there no reason to call me Mrs. Kaiba, beside I hate that name it reminds me of the days which I lived with my Uncle Gosaburo, Seto's step father."

Yamu was shocked she did not know that Seto and Alec where step cousin, Alec explained the Kaiba family also adopted her so there was no blood relation. "Ok, Mrs. K, I mean Alec."

Seto opened the door a few minutes later, "Yamu time to go," he barked. Yamu got up and walked pass Seto who looked at her with an evil glare, she then saw Mokuba standing in the hall with an angry look on his face, apparently his talk with Seto didn't go so great.

Seto looked at Alec, "Go easy on her Seto, she is just a kid like you and I were once," Seto nodded and shut the door Alec rolled over and tried to get some sleep, but it did not come, the pain in her leg was bothering her.

An hour late Seto returned, Mokuba and him had a fight in the hall, but they ended their yelling with door slamming. Seto lie down on the bed in a bit of bad mood, that Alec was not surprised to feel him jump down on the bed; it was already 2:00am in the morning.

"My little brother is a pain in my side right now," Seto said to himself, Alec turned and faced her disgruntled husband. Alec touched his hand, "Seto, he is almost an adult, who trying to find what he want to do with the rest of his life, let him live it ok, besides if I recall you and got married at a young age, we were in our early 20's."

Seto turned and faced Alec, "Your right, I mean he is kind of more then a little brother to me, I guess I am being over protective again." Alec nodded, "Yeah I know, Moky has to find what he wants and I think he has a thing for Yamu."

Seto lay quiet for a moment, "Alec, do you want to try and have a baby again, or do you want to quit, the whole thing? Because you have changed in a way, you seem to be a little different," he spoke calmly.

Alec looked at Seto, he was hinting something and she knew what too. "Seto I have to tell you something, I should have told you the day I talked with the doctor while you were out of the room, umm," she said, this was hard to say, but now was as good a time as any.

"Seto I can't have children, the accident has done a bit of damage to that area, and well I can't have kids, I sorry I should have told you as soon as I knew," said Alec as she began to cry; Seto sat up and took Alec in his arms trying not to hurt her.

"Alec," he said, "I didn't marry you because you could have kids, I married you because I love you and if we aren't destined to have one, then so be it. You taught me that destinies can change, I learned to accept what fate hands me and right now that is for you get better. Well find some other way to have kids, but when your ready alright," spoke Seto as he moved and kissed Alec on the lips, when he moved back he smiled at her.

"The rest of my life I will protect you," he said to Alec. "The rest of mine I will watch you," she responded, the two kissed again. Seto gently held Alec in his arms; he felt that she was a piece of glass that could be easily broken with just a touch. The two feel asleep in each other's arms, and Alec had her usual uneasy dream.
