Chapter 12

Pasts and Gifts

"Ok Mom, please explain what I am getting for Jenny again," asked Katie, in the store. Alec rolled her eyes, "You're suppose get her that karaoke machine over there," said Alec pointing from the cart to the middle shelf.

Kate grabbed a large box, "I don't see how this is going to get her to talk," she said. Alec smiled, "Well that what she told Andy what she wanted for Christmas so that is what I am getting her, stop fussing now hand help me get something for your Uncles," she snapped. Kate smiled and went over to the card section, "Oh cool," she said looking at the new booster packs.

The store was fully packed with people; Yugi, Mokuba, Andy, Kate, Alec, Mai, and Joey were all Christmas shopping. "Well let us see," said Andy looking at things to get Alec, "I have $100 dollars to spend on Mom, and I can't think of one thing to get her, Jenny help me out here," he said looking at his sister.

Jenny and Andy were looking at jewelry for their mother, Jenny pulled Andy's shirt, shacking her head no. Jenny took Andy's hand and pulled him over to the dress section of the store.

Andy was surprised that Jenny was taking him to the dress section of the store, "Ok, you think we should get Mom a new dress," said Andy. Jenny nodded, letting go of Andy's hand she walked over to a sparkling black dress with sequences on is, and it was about the right size for their mom. Andy took the dress off the rack and looked at Jenny, "You know Mom has about six of theses right?" he asked.

Jenny smirked and took the dress that was behind it off the rack, it was blue and purple sequences in a wave patterns going diagonally with black in between the colors, and it had no straps on it.

Andy's eyes widened, "That one?" he asked, taking the dress from Jenny, "Not bad," he said looking at it. Jenny nodded her head, Andy looked at her, "I take this is for the dinner right?" he asked the happy 10 year old.

Andy saw his mother from a distance, and held the dress so it looked like she was wearing it, "Yeah it will fit but it is going to be long on her," he said to Jenny "This will make Kaiba start drooling," he laughing quietly.

Jenny took the dress from Andy and put it in the basket, "I take that as you're not going to let me decide something else?" he asked. Jenny shook her head, Andy nodded, "Ok, you win," he said with a small laugh.

Mai and Joey were busy with Mokuba and Yugi picking out stuff, "Ok, Joey you're getting the CD, I am getting the candles, Yugi is getting the lava lamp, and Mokuba your getting the other CD," said Mai counting items in the cart.

Joey walked over to the nightdress section, "I got another present for you Mai," he said with a grin on his face. Mai raised an eyebrow and looked at Joey, "Joseph, put that piece of Victoria Secret crap back because I told you that, can wait after we get back to Domino."

Joey's face went as a puppy, "I was thinking of your Christmas present or mine," he said in an evil voice. Mai rolled her eyes, "Fine, Joey put it in the basket you're not going to see that until we get back to Domino, go it," she snapped. Joey had a grin on his face, "well see, honey bunny," he said just to piss off Mai.

Yugi and Mokuba, thought about there own wives back home, "Thanks Joey, you just made me start thinking about Yamu in something like that," snapped Mokuba.

Joey smirked, "Why didn't you let her come again?" he asked. Mokuba rolled his eyes, "The same as Tea, some one had to watch the kids back at Domino, and she is helping Sara run KIC as Junior Vice President," he said.

Yugi sighed, "I miss, Tea, Matt and Jade, I haven't talked to them since we landed here a week ago," he said.

Joey pulled out his cell phone and threw it to Yugi, "here call them it's the holidays, Tea and the kids should hear from you Yuge," said Joey.

Yugi took the cell phone and dialed his phone number, "Hey, Tea," he said when she picked up the other end. Yugi walked away from the group to talk to Tea on the phone, "yeah, things are great, yeah Alec is doing better now …" he started to walk out of hearing range of the others.

Mokuba glared at Joey, "Joey, that wasn't fair." Joey laughed, "You got your own phone, call Yamu if you want, Mai and I will wait for you," he said.

Mai smirked, "go ahead Mokuba we will wait here for you." Mokuba pulled out his cell phone and called Yamu in Domino. Mai looked at Joey, "that was nice what did you do that for?" asked Mai. Joey smirked, "look up, Mai." Mai looked up, "Oh," she said. Joey pulled Mai in to his lips as they began making out under the mistletoe that they had been standing under for the last 20 minutes.

"So, Yugi how are things going between Alec and Kaiba, last time I talked to you, she was asleep from taking sleeping pills," asked Tea on the phone. Yugi sighed, "To be honest Tea. Alec is doing better but she been having second thoughts about staying here much longer, Kaiba is getting remarried," said Yugi.

Tea nearly jumped, "You didn't tell me that Kaiba was getting married, what are you going to do about it Yugi, Alec is going to be devastated if Kaiba gets remarried," she said in a near panic.

"Tea, I am on Joey's cell phone is one of the kids there, I like to talk to them," said Yugi changing the conversation. "Yeah," said Tea she moved her mouth from the phone Yugi could hear her call for Matt and Jade.

Matt picked up the phone, "Hey, Dad, how is everybody over there?" he asked. "Everybody is doing fine, your cousin Kate is begging Alec to let her compete in the holiday tournament, she still wants to be world champ like Kaiba," said Yugi.

Matt laughed a click was then heard on the phone and a different voice came over it. "Yeah, she getting desperate, at the start of the New Year she has to start over again if she doesn't compete before then," said Jade on the other end of the phone; she had picked up a second phone in the house in Domino and had been listening in on them.

"Hi, Jade," said Yugi. "Hi Daddy, sorry to drop in like this, but I have to let you know I am expecting an important phone call in a few minutes," said Jade.

Matt on the other phone in the house, "Jade, Dad is an important phone call come Sis," he said in a serious voice.

Jade went into an angry but sarcastic tone, "I know Matt, just that there is a more important phone call, I am waiting for," she said sounding like it was a hint to something. Yugi laughed even when he was gone his kids still argued when he was around, "Hey, you two stop, I just called to talk to you, two and your mother, I have to go now, I love you two, tell your Mother I miss her and will see you in a week," said Yugi.

Matt and Jade said, "good bye" to their Dad. Tea picked up the phone before Yugi hung up and said good-bye to him.

Mokuba had just finished talking to Yamu, and was standing next to Joey and Mai when Yugi returned, "Everything is good back home," said Yugi.

Joey looked at Yugi, "Man you look depressed, what's wrong?" asked Joey. Yugi looked at his best friend, "I miss them Joey, this is going to the first time that I am not going to be able to spend Christmas with them," said Yugi.

Mokuba smirked, "Hey Yugi, I just talked to Yamu, I wasn't suppose to tell anyone, but she has been watching Tea and the kids, they have been planning to go somewhere for the holidays, maybe there coming here," he said.

Yugi smiled, "yeah maybe but then again she could be taking them to her parents place." Everyone there nodded, "Ok, well should we go fine Alec, Andy, Katie, and Jenny and get these items check out?" asked Joey.

Back at the Mansion a few hours later, "Ok, ok, now that we have the food ready, what could I be missing?" said Seto. Noah and Melissa looked at Seto, "Calm down, Uncle Seto and yes the food is all ready for when everyone gets back," said Melissa.

Seto was a nervous wreck, "I know Melissa just that, it been so long since had any family here for the holidays," said Seto. Noah scoffed, "What am I chopped lever," he said in a scoff tone.

Seto glared, "You're half robot you don't eat remember," he said. Noah nodded, "You have a point," he said.

"Uncle Seto you need to relax, look everything looks great, Aunt Alec and everyone will be ok with the food," said Melissa, "Now sit down and help with me with this videogame," she snapped.

Seto laughed, "You and those handhelds when did you get in to those?" asked Seto.

Melissa looked up from her game, "After Dad passed away," she answered. Seto sighed, "Yeah, Alec told me about that, how long ago exactly, Melissa?" he asked sitting next to her and Noah.

Melissa pause the game, "About three years ago, around this time of the year to be exact, Mom was doing some business in the KIC office when Dad came in saying he wasn't feeling good. We took him to the hospital and well they said he had cancer and never told anyone, about a few months later he passed away. Mom was divested as if she lost part of her soul when he went," she said.

Seto looked at her, "So I take it you buried him in Egypt with the other members of the family?" asked Seto.

Melissa nodded, "Yeah, it was in the tomb which Uncle Marik's family had guarded for centuries, and since they didn't live there any longer that it would be best he was there to rest. Mom was crying for few weeks after they sealed the tomb, Aunt Alec hung around for a while she and Uncle Marik dated for a while, but it just did not work they were all grieving for my Dad to focus on each other. Aunt Isis was in the worse condition of all worse then Mom, she stopped eating, sleeping as if she wanted to die, but Alec stopped her and stuck some food in her mouth saying it was not worth it. If you hadn't left I don't think Alec would have gotten Aunt Isis back on her feet," she finished.

Melissa sighed, "Anyways, after a month Mom, Aunt Isis were back to normal and I well just kept an eye on Andy, Jenny and Katie because after you left. Yugi, Mokuba and Marik were like second fathers to them but Uncle Marik could not be around all time but he helped when he could with them," explained Melissa.

Seto nodded, "Well, I am glad to hear that you are doing better and your Mom is ok, but I have questioned, have you talked to her recently?" he asked.

Melissa shook her head, "Yeah, I talked to her a few days ago, all is set for your surprise, for everyone," she smiled. Seto tapped Melissa's back, "good, now let's see what we can do with this videogame."

Noah glared at Seto, "Hey are you forgetting who lived in a videogame for most of his life," he said pointing at himself. Seto laughed, "yeah, us," he said.

Alec and everyone arrived moments later with large bags full of stuff, "All here, wow," said Alec falling over a bag that she sat down, Seto got up from the stairs and caught Alec just as she was about to hit the ground.

Joey was right behind Alec, "Nice catch Kaiba. Now could you help me out here," said Joey as he was about to fall with six bags in his hands. Seto grabbed three bags letting Alec move out of Joey's path, "Well that was fun," said Alec catching her breath.

Melissa raised an eyebrow, "Have fun shopping Alec?" she asked. Alec stood up, "Yep, everyone is getting something tomorrow morning," she said giving a sleigh look at Seto, "I even got something for you but you're not getting it until tomorrow."

All 26 bags of thing bought at the store were brought in, Yugi stepped in to the mansion last, "There that is the last of it, Andy you better check the box in that bag I think it go some snow in it," he said.

Andy pulled the bag out and checked it, "its ok Uncle Yugi, its dry still," he said. Jenny ran over to the bag and check, she gave the ok, took it, and ran up the stairs.

"Well looks like some one is in a hurry to wrap presents," said Seto. Andy laughed, "She wants to wrap Mom's present it is kind of a tradition for while now," he said. Katie laughed, "Speaking of tradition," she said, "Andy!"

Andy shot a look at Katie, "NO, I am not," but before he could say it Katie threw him a hat with antlers and a blinking light noise. "Kate, I said that last year was the last time I was going to do this little tradition of yours," he sneered.

Katie pulled out a red outfit, "Hey, I am sticking to my part not you stick to yours, Andrew or face the consequences," she smirked.

Andy rolled his eyes, "fine, but you're the rear this year," he said. Katie shook her head, "I know as long as you don't fart I think I will be fine."

Seto was clueless, "Ok tell me what is going on," he demanded. Alec was pulling a few bag towards the stairs to give to Melissa to begin handing out materials to wrap presents, "It is a little play that Andy, Kate, Yugi, and Mokuba do for Jenny every year for Christmas. Your going to think this is the funniest thing you ever saw," said Alec. Yugi looked at Alec, "Well Tea isn't here Alec so you're in it this year," said Yugi.

Alec glared, "Mai could take my part," she said. Joey shook his head, "Mai is an elf like me, remember, your Mrs. Claus, Alec," said Joey throwing her a little red dress. "I hate you Joey," said Alec with a growl over the dress.

Seto looked at Mokuba, "ok Andy and Katie are the deer, Alec is Mrs. Clause, Joey and Mai are elves, and what are you going to be?" asked Seto to Mokuba. Mokuba sighed, "I am this year, the bad guy," he said with a smirk. Seto raised an eyebrow, "goodie," he said sarcastically.

The bags were emptied in the main hall and divided among everyone, "Ok," said Melissa, "I got all of Alec's presents this year," she said. Alec rolled her eyes, "Great, that means I have to close my eyes don't I," everyone except Seto nodded.

Noah had gone up stairs to help Jenny with one of the presents that she wanted wrap by herself. Alec fell on her back and placed both hands over her eyes, "OK GO!" she yelled.

Yugi, Mokuba, Mai, Joey, Andy, and Katie moved among the stuff and pilled all the items for Alec in front of Melissa. Melissa then placed them in a few bag and left the room, Mokuba and Andy moved all of Melissa's presents by Alec's feet.

"Ok, Alec Melissa has left with your presents," said Yugi. Alec sat up and saw the pile of presents that needed wrapping for Melissa, "Ok," she said taking all of the presents and placing them in bags then heading in the direction of living room.

Alec stopped half way there, "Seto come with me, you aren't going to get to see what everyone else is getting, so you can help me with Andy's stuff too," she said.

Seto shrugged his shoulders, "Ok," he said walking over to Alec and went with her in to the living room where she and he would wrap all of Melissa's and Andy's presents. Yugi looked at Mokuba and Andy, "Did, I just see Kaiba do what I think he did?" asked Yugi.

Mokuba and Andy nodded, "Yep," they said at the same time. Katie looked at the stairs Jenny sat with some wrapped presents with Noah; Jenny looked at down and Katie and smiled. Andy looked at Katie, "Hey, maybe you're right," he said to her quietly trying not to attract attention to him self.

Katie smiled and nodded, "Yeah maybe," she said. Mokuba looked at his niece and nephew as they began to wrap presents, he thought about how much Andy didn't want anything to do with Seto six years ago now he was with his sister wrapping his father's presents not knowing it.

Six years ago

"Andy, come on you need to open your presents now," said Mokuba sitting next to Yamu. Andy shook his head, "I am not opening anything that has Kaiba's name on it," he said while pushing the box away from him.

Jenny walked over to the box and began taking it apart, "J.B what are you doing?" he snapped. Jenny smirked; she moved her hands in an angry manner, Andy sat back, "Fine, be that way," he said as Jenny continued to open the present.

Katie looked over Jenny's shoulder, "Well that nice of Dad to get you that," said Kate. Andy leaned forward and looked at the box, "it's nothing but a book, yippee Skippy," he said taking his seat back against the wall.

Jenny reached in a pulled it out, "It's a journal," said Kate. "You like it, then you can keep it, because I don't want anything to do with Kaiba, I hate him," snapped Andy. Jenny sighed giving Andy an angry, she picked up the book and threw it at Andy hitting him in the head.

Andy caught it just as it was about to hit him dead center, she smirked at him. "Hey, Jen, that could have knocked me out," he snapped. Jenny rolled her eyes then, signed at him, Andy rolled his eyes, "Fine what ever," he said.

Mokuba looked at Katie, "What did Jenny say?" he asked. Katie sighed, "She said that Andy needs to grow up, he is the man of the house now and needs to get his act together," she answered.

Jenny looked at Katie and shook her head, showing that she was wrong. Andy sighed and rolled his eyes again, "She said that I need to accept that Kaiba is gone and take the gift say thanks and then shut up," he glared at Jenny as he spoke it at the end.

Alec walked into the room, "So it is Christmas Eve and you three are in to the presents already," said Alec looking at the mess of wrapping paper and boxes. "Mokuba, Yamu, I thought I told you two to hold off one the presents for them," said Alec kicking some wrapping paper.

Yamu smiled, "Sorry, Alec I kind of had to let them open at least one present, there opening the ones from Seto," she answered. Alec rolled her eyes, "Fine what ever, just as long as he isn't brought up tomorrow it was a few months ago that he left and he could walk through that door, but in a way I don't want him too," she said coldness in her voice.

Mokuba got up from his seat, "Hey, Alec, look Seto said he needed to get some things figured out, he will come back I know he will," he said walking over to Alec. She sighed, "Moky, I hope so," she said with a sigh.

A knock came at the door, Jenny, Andy, and Katie's eyes and head shot towards the door at that moment. Alec looked at Mokuba, Yamu got up from the couch and went to the door, and looked through the peephole, "Well good news and bad news," she said.

Alec crossed her arms, "What is the good news, Yamu?" she asked. Yamu looked at the kids, "Well, it family," she said with a smile. Andy sat up straight, Jenny smiled, and Kate grinned, "Yamu, tell us the bad news now," asked Andy sounding a little happy.

Yamu opened the door, "The bad news," she said. Yugi, Tea, Matt, and Jade stuck their heads in, "Are we late?" asked the 7 year old Jade.

Mokuba smiled, "Nope right on time," he said. A loud thud was heard in the kitchen as well as a high pitched scream, as Troy came running out of the room, "Well good news dinner ready, everyone," he said.

Alec shook her head, "Who screamed?" she asked putting he hand to her forehead. Mai walked out of the kitchen, "Joey screamed," she said.

Jenny laughed, everyone looked at her, she giggled, Andy glared at her "Hey what happened to the code of silence?" he asked. Jenny glared back at Andy picking up the box that the book was in, and threw it at him. Kate shook her head, "I guess that means laughs don't count," she said.

Joey stepped out of the kitchen covered in flour and what appeared to be hot water on his pants, "Dinner is severed," he said, looking at Yugi, Tea, Matt and Jade as they had now finished coming and taking off all of there snow clothes, "Hey, Yugi and family, did anyone hear me?" he said.

"Let's eat, before Uncle Joey eats all of it," said Matt. Joey shook his head, "Very funny Matt, there is more food here to feed an army and looking at Yamu in her condition I think she will clear the table before you do," said Joey.

Yamu shook her head, "Hey I may be pregnant, but I am not a bottomless pit," she snapped. Mokuba laughed, "We don't know for sure Yamu that you are, it could be just a weight gain," he said. Yamu smiled, and picked up at present that was next to and threw at Mokuba, "Ouch," he said as he caught it.

"Well, lets eat everyone into the dinning room," said Mai. Jade, Matt, Katie, Jenny, Tea, went into the dinning room to eat.

Yugi walked over to Alec and Mokuba, "Hey Alec," he said. "Yes, Yugi," she said hugging him. Andy sat with his back to the wall, "I am not eating," he said as Alec turned her gaze from Yugi to Andy. "Andrew Kaiba, Go eat now, or you're not getting anything in the morning," threatened Alec.

Andy rolled his eyes, "I don't care, I got a book from Kaiba, why should I care,0" he held up the book, "I hate him, nothing could make this holiday any better," he snapped.

Alec shook her head, "Andy!" she said softly. Andy threw the book at the wall, "I hate him Mom!" he yelled. Yugi and Mokuba looked at Andy; they could not blame him for not liking Seto right then, "Andy," said Alec.

Andy got up and went outside, in a fuss without his snow clothes. Mokuba looked at Alec, "He will be back," she said to him.

Mokuba sighed, "Yeah he will," he said. Yugi looked at them, "Yep, Seto will make things better when he gets back," said Yugi. Alec gave a breath laugh, "I was talking about Andy," she smiled.

Yugi looked at her, "I thought we were talking about Kaiba?" Alec laughed, "Yeah he is still a hot topic, around Andy, he will take longer then Katie and Jenny to recover from this," she said.

Mokuba looked at Alec concerned, "And you are taking it?" he asked. Alec sighed, "I am going if that is what you mean, Moky," she said. Yugi smiled and put his hand on Alec's shoulder, "They will be back, just remember, Alec, that Kaiba denied he had friends for years then you showed up and he changed," he said.

Mokuba looked over at Yamu who was standing in the living room next to the dinning room door, "Are you three going to eat or are you going to let me eat your food, too," she joked.

Yugi smiled, "I think I better get in there," he said walking over to Yamu by the door. Mokuba looked at them, "Alec and I will be there in a moment, I have something for her to open before dinner," he said.

Yugi and Yamu walked in to the dinning room, while Mokuba and Alec stood by the hall, "Here, this is from Seto," said Mokuba handing Alec the present that Yamu threw at him earlier.

Alec looked at it, "I take it you want me to open it now?" she asked. Mokuba smiled, "When you're ready," he said walking away. Alec looked at it, "Later Mokuba, I have a son to fetch from the cold," she said walking towards the front door.

Mokuba nodded and headed into the dinning room; Alec put on her black and blue jacket and scarf then taking Andy's jacket off the rack and went outside.

Present day

Alec finished wrapping the presents for Andy and Melissa, "Done," she said putting the last piece of tape on it. Seto looked at the pile of boxes for Melissa and Andy, "You know, I missed Christmas with you and the kids," he said after putting the box that Alec had finished taping with the others.

Alec nodded, "It was hard when you left, and Andy spent some time out side on Christmas Eve a few months after you left," she said. Seto nodded, "Yeah, I kind of saw it," he said.

Alec looked at him, "Another tape moment," she asked. Seto shook his head, "sort of, I had Mokuba fly me in that night, but it was your conversation with Andy that kept me for going in to his house where everyone was," he admitted.

Alec looked at Seto, "So, you heard all the hateful things that Andy said about you," she said in shock. Seto nodded, "Yeah, I was a cold, selfish, dead beat, pain in the ass, abandoning, and that I didn't deserve anything but a slow and painful death," snapped Seto. Alec shook her head, "Well that puts a short version of it," said Alec.

Six years ago

Alec stood on the porch, "Andy, you need something to keep you warm," she said. Andy turned, "I am fine, Mom," he said shivering as he leaned on the house rails. Alec smiled, "Liar, your bad at it, as bad as your father was," she said.

Andy shook his head, "You mean, the backstabbing, lying, cheating, pain in my side, loser, person who I just happen to share DNA with, Mom I hate him so much," he said.

Alec walked over to Andy placing the jacket on his shoulders, "I know, he did a lot when he left, but Andy, you will have thing about this; I am angry too. For the fact, I let him win that duel I could have taken my two cards in my hand and won but no I decided to let him go to figure things out on his own. I thought it would only take a few weeks for him to clear his head, but it taking longer then that," she said.

Andy put the jacket on, "Well, he should at least call, not sent me a stupid book," he said. Alec laughed, "That what he got you?" she asked surprised.

Andy nodded, "Yeah." Alec shook her head, did you even look at it, because I did," she smiled. Andy looked at his mother, "That is the first time I seen you smile for real in over a month," he said.

Alec laughed, "Well, I forgot your father's sense of humor," she said. Andy looked at Alec, "What funny about a journal book?" he asked. Alec pulled out the present that Mokuba handed her from Seto, "This tells me a lot, if he got you a book bet your two things are in this," she said holding up the packet.

"What would he put in that?" asked Andy. Alec smiled opened the gift and held up a stuffed Blue Eyes White Dragon. "OK, two guess what this means," she said putting in front of her son. Andy scratched his head, "I don't know?" Alec pulled out a pendant from under her shirt, "This," she said taking it off her neck handing it to Andy.

Andy opened it, "It's your blue eyes card, and ok I am not getting Mom," he said. Alec nodded, "I can understand, your father collected Duel Monster Cards under my Uncle's nose. He hid them in a book much like this one," she said holding up Andy's present, "I gave him that card when he saved my life and got me away from Gosaburo," she explained.

Andy shook his head, "Ok, not getting it still." Alec rolled her eyes, "He is always around Andy, that book is the same one that your Uncle Mokuba gave him to hid the cards in it, that is his way of saying he is around," she said.

Andy looked at his mother, "I take that the blue eyes white dragon is his way to you saying he still loves you I guess," he said. Alec nodded, "Yep, but in away I wish he wouldn't come back, but if I want him to then it just to make this pain go away," she said.

Andy stood up, for he and Alec had taken a seat on the porch bench now, "I don't want him to come back, because he caused you pain Mom," he said. Alec shook her head, "You know you caused me quiet a bit of pain giving birth to you and your sister," said Alec.

"Mom, I am talking about the other kind of pain," said Andy sounding worried. Alec smirked, "Your sounding like your father now," said Alec. Andy sighed, "It just I hate him so much, and if I see him I would tell him what a fool he was for leaving you."

Alec stood next to her son, "Andy, if he did come back I would probably send him right back out the door, or kiss him until your Uncles pulled me off him," she said causing Andy to laugh and smiled, "Yeah, I can see that," he said. "So can you do me a favor, Andy," said Alec.

Andy looked at his mother, "Anything Mom," he said. Alec nodded, "Quit saying things you don't mean, I know deep down your father loves you, your sisters and in a small part me, and the same goes for you, you love him even thought right now all you can see is darkness. He used to be so evil I once saw him as his step father, it wasn't a happy time but he changed, he just looking for who he is and where he belongs that's all Andrew," she said.

Andy and Alec went back into the house, Seto stood against the wall next to the porch where Alec and Andy could not see him. Mokuba came out the back way of the house and stood next to Seto, "Well, want to come in?" he asked his older brother.

Seto sighed, "Mokuba, I can't, I haven't found what I am looking for yet, umm, lets try again next time, Andy is angry at me and Alec figured out what my presents for the kids mean so I don't need to go in and see them," he said.

Mokuba nodded, "Take all the time you need Seto, I going to be here when you want to see all of them again," he said. Seto nodded and walked away.

Present Day

Alec leaned against the couch, "I should have known you were listening in on Andrew and me, but then again you did a lot of sneaking off as a teen," said Alec. Seto nodded, "So where are we going to put these presents?" he asked.

"Under the tree silly," said Alec with grin. Seto looked at her, "but I didn't get one, except that little lamp light one," he said. Mokuba and Joey walked in just then with a giant plastic tree, "Ok, Kaiba where you want this thing?" asked Joey.

Seto looked at Alec, "You bought one?" he asked. Alec laughed, "Nope but I know who did," she said looking over the couch to see Jenny with a package in her hand. Seto laughed, "You!" he said. Jenny giggled, and ran over to them giving Seto the package she then left the room.

Seto looked at Alec, "What's this for?" he asked. Alec shook her head, "Well over the last four years there is has been a little tradition started the oldest person get to put the star on the tree, looks like you get it this year," Alec answered.

Seto laughed, "I get the honor this year I take it," he smirked. Alec nodded, "Yep." Alec got up from her spot and went into the main hall, Seto sat there with the package with the star in it he set it on the table and put his hands on his face.

"Mokuba tell me why am I doing this again?" he asked when Joey left the room a few moments later. Mokuba stepped away from the tree and sat next to his brother, "Having second thoughts, I take it?" he asked.

Seto nodded, "Yeah, about everything, I thought I figured it all out but now Alec just throws a whole new sight to it I can't tell what to think anymore," he said.

Mokuba nodded, "yeah, I remember when I had those, back when Yamu was pregnant, she and I in away didn't want the baby, but she and I changed our minds the minute I handed him to her," he said.

"If I had seen that car, he would be here with me right now," said Mokuba. Seto nodded, "I remember when Alec had her car accident and lost our first, I know it is hard Mokuba, you really did make a great dad for that short time," said Seto.

Mokuba nodded, "I know I did, but I guess Yamu and I aren't meant to be parents yet, but we have a while we are both young," said Mokuba.

Seto laughed to himself, "I said the same thing after Alec became pregnant with Jenny. I am young, but they make me an old man, now," said Seto.

Mokuba look at his brother, "Well you still have your hair remember that, then your old if you lose it," said Mokuba knowing that baldness did not run in his family.

Mokuba got up, "Well, and we need to eat some food, so come big brother," he said.

Seto looked up at Mokuba, "You haven't called me that since Alec had the twins," he said. Mokuba nodded, "Old habits die hard Seto," he said with a smile. Seto stood up, "Let's eat then come on little brother."


Well here it is another chapter and sadly we are near the end of this part of the story and it seems that I am going to slow down on it for a while meaning that I am going to update once every three days reasons being well, one finals are in 5 weeks. Two, I can't come up with new ideas for stories, I am stuck on Seto Meets his Match 2 or even the date between Atem and Preethi, I just can't seem to make it work out, sorry I am doing what I can to make them however my brain just doesn't want to make it happen.

I have finished editing the rest of this part of my four part tale however I discovered that the Four part of the story is mostly about Jenny and I don't know if anyone wants to read about her, being she is a little rebel in her teenage years, anyways enough of my jabbering to my reviewer for the day.

Twilight Memories: Thanks for the review and yes, I did make Seto a cheating bastard, MWAHAHAHAHA, but in the end, maybe Seto didn't, do it on his free will? oops there I go giving away parts or am I. I hope you have a good trip and I will waiting for your return currently I won't be updating as much for the next few chapters are shot and I can't come up with new stories yet so I will put this one up for now and maybe some time in the next few days or week I will have the next chapter up. Well if you recall in Part 2 that Alec and Seto could see the future and well I never really explained it sorry lets just say a certain millenium sword had done that to them. Anyways yes all three kids can see some part of the future. Kate can see the good parts of the future (a reason why she looks up to her father), Andy can see the bad (reason he probably hates Seto so much could be?) and Little cute Jenny can see both good and bad, (Code of silence and drawing) I hope that clears it up.
