YGO Preggy Fic

Chapter 3: Confessions to Another

Kaiba sat, patiently waiting for Joey, and Mokuba to return from the park. Joey had problems, ones that shouldn't be hid, but were. 'He's been hurt... But how much?', Kaiba thought.

Joey's situation would explain everything, why he was always trying to act tough, in side... In side, Joey was probably feeling lost, and scared. Kaiba knew that feeling, he knew it too well. 'And what about how I've treated him?...', Seto thought, miserably.

He had been just as cruel as Joey's father sounded, treating Joey like dirt. Now. Now, if only Kaiba could take it all back... He would, now that he knew. Serenity, that was Joey's sister, it was a nice name... A really nice name.... Kaiba fidgeted with the preggy shirt he wore, it was baggy, but, it hid his stomach enough to where you couldn't tell it was expanding slightly. Truth be told, it wasn't all bad having something grow inside you, it wasn't like he could give actual birth, it would have to be taken out of him by surgery. (That's what he thinks, remember, I am a girl myself, and prefer men having kids, not just women.) Kaiba pushed all that aside upon hearing the car pull up the drive. The few minutes that it took for the two to come inside seemed an eternity, a long grueling eternity. Then, Joey, and Mokuba entered, Kaiba stood, and watched the blonde as he was happily grinning, and telling Mokuba to go clean up. With Mokuba gone, Kaiba felt it was time to see if his assumptions were true. "Joey, I think we need... To have a talk.", Kaiba stated.

"Um... Okay, what about?", Joey asked.

"Your father.", Kaiba stated.

The silence that followed seemed vast, and unbreakable. It stretched forever long... Then... "About my dad?", Joey stated.

"Yes, has he?..... Ever hurt you?", Kaiba inquired.

"...", Joey stayed silent.

"I heard you say a couple nights ago that he'd slammed you into a table, or a wall, or something like that.", Kaiba stated.

"Yes, yes, he did do that...", Joey stated, quietly, sullenly.

"Why did he?...", Kaiba asked.

"He gets drunk, and angry about life...", Joey admitted.

"Why didn't you ask for any help from anyone?", Kaiba asked knowing the answer that would come.

"I... Was afraid... Of what people would.... Think.", Joey shrugged, "I didn't want them to think I was a coward...",

"Okay, now... It's my turn...", Kaiba stated.

"What do you mean?", Joey asked.

"You confessed to me, now I'll confess to you.", Seto stated, "I- I was abused once... By my father.",

"You were... Abused?", Joey asked.

Kaiba nodded, "He would cut my arms, and punch me until I would cry, and even then, it wasn't enough for him.",

Joey sat, intently listening, eyes widened from the shock that.... Seto, Seto Kaiba himself had been abused. "I was so pleased when he died, but... The pain he inflicted is still haunting me... I still have nightmares from him...", Kaiba shivered, looking at the faint scars on his arms, reminders of what he'd done, "I've never wanted anyone to know, but, finding out about you... I guess it reminded me, of myself...",

Joey remained silent, then, looked sick, Kaiba knew what it was. It was him, the fact that he shared the same experiences that Joey did, that was what was making Joey look like that. (However, I know that is not true.) "My stomach....", Joey whispered, before passing out.

"The infection!", Kaiba exclaimed, that's what it was, "Joey, wake up, Joey..."

...

They had barely made it to Tristan's mother in time, but, even in unstable condition... She knew Joey would be fine. "The infection was deep, but, I managed to take care of the problem.", she stated, holding up a large splinter of wood, "He'll be fine in about a month, until then he'll have to stay here.",

"That's okay, I'm just glad he'll be alright.", Kaiba muttered.

...

When Joey woke, the room was white, and lit by some lamps on the beside tables, Joey looked at himself... His stomach was bandaged, and he realized where he was. Joey turned his head, to find Kaiba asleep in a rocking chair beside his bed. "Kaiba?...", Joey thought out loud.

Joey looked over Kaiba fully for the first time. He didn't look so mean now, he looked... Serene, in a way... His hair hadn't been cut in a while, so some dark strands strayed a bit, and his stomach was rounded enough to be able to see a slight bulge in the t- shirt, his face had a flustered look, and his parted lips only unveiled the teeth. Kaiba lay on his side, the best he could. Joey watched, and waited for anyone to enter...

...

About a month later, Joey was able to come back to the Kaiba mansion. The baby had started to move a couple weeks earlier, and Joey couldn't wait to see Kaiba. He stood at the door, and rang the bell, it was Mokuba who answered. "Oh, hi, Joey, Kaiba's still in bed.", Mokuba stated, opening the door.

"Thanks, Mokuba.", Joey stated, "Have you had any breakfast yet?",

"Nope!", Mokuba stated, grinning.

...

Kaiba's noise twitched with the delicious smells of breakfast filling his nose. One eye opened, along with a yawn, and then sat up, with a slight difficulty, got dressed, and headed downstairs to the kitchen. When Kaiba entered he noted the blonde headed boy standing at the stove. "What are you cooking?", Kaiba asked, peering over Joey's shoulder at the skillet.

"Blueberry pancakes.", Joey stated, flipping the one he was cooking now.

"Smells good.", Seto said, before easing his way into a seat.

Kaiba felt the baby inside of himself kick, he winced, not being use to the feeling of being kicked from the inside yet. "Here we go.", Joey stated, setting down the steaming plate of pancakes.

The three dug in, enjoying their meal for the morning.

...

Later that afternoon, Kaiba laid on the couch for a nap. He had an appointment tomorrow for some reason or another. Joey walked in and sat on the floor, flipping through a magazine before looking at Seto, who still had his eyes open. "Did you realize you have one eye that has more light green, than light blue in it?", Joey asked.

"Um... No.", Kaiba hadn't thought about his eyes at all.

Joey looked at Kaiba sorta blushing, "Could I?...", Joey asked, pointing to Kaiba's stomach.

"I... Guess...", Kaiba stated, with a shrug.

Joey sat his ear to Kaiba's stomach, and listened, eyes closed to the sounds of the baby kicking, and moving around, then, placed one hand gently on Seto's stomach and stroked the stomach lightly. Joey then went back to his magazine.

...

It was late at night, very late when Kaiba woke from his own torturous dreams. He found himself calmed more so by the fact he knew that someone else had lived through abuse by their father. Joey had somehow managed to get all of his possessions away from his house, and was now going to live with the two brothers. They had shared so much together. Joey shared his being thrown around and how he had been sexually abused, the two cried tears for each other that they couldn't for no one else. Seto felt how close they had become with in the near seven months of time. Kaiba stroked his now, balloon like stomach, this was their child... Theirs, and the two had made a pact, that they wouldn't cause the child the pain that they had done to themselves. Kaiba felt joy in his life now, day by day their love would grow, and it did.

...

The doctor made some general check- over of health and such, an ultrasound, and some other tests... But it was what she found late into the check over in the late month that would shock everyone....

"It wasn't their in the fifth month.... and I'm positive I know where it leads...", she stated.

It was confirmed by Yami Yugi.... "Yes, absolutely, their is a very old spell over the body.... But just for that one opening....",

"You mean... I.... I actually am.... Going to?....", Kaiba stated.

Joey felt Kaiba tighten his grip just slightly, "It's okay koi, I won't let anything bad happen.", Joey stated.

"But... I'm.... Going to actually give birth!", Seto gasped.

"Seto, everything will be fine....", Joey insisted.

"I... Just wasn't ready for this, carrying it, sure, giving birth to it, not at all.", Seto stated.

"I'll make sure you get as many pain killers as you want.", Joey stated, "Plus, Tristan's mother has signed us up for private birthing classes with her."

"I guess you're right, Joe, it is our child....", Kaiba gave a meaningful smile.
