A/N: Hey! I'm back. Okay, so why am I updating this again, you ask? Well, because I really don't feel like writing on anything and I can't think of ideas and all I have to do is edit this to put it back up. Hee hee.

To the Reviewers:

SerenityMeowth Lol. Thanks. I always thought it was cheesy! Thanks for the review!

Stormrose Dewleaf Oh god…Note to self, don't mention anymore good country bands around Stormrose… Hey, question. What do you think of that new one, Hot Apple Pie? They sound a little too much like Big and Rich to me, and their stuff is too 'pop' for my 'country'. Lol. But that's just me. None of my friends listen to country, so I can't ask them. What do you think?

Komo Pineconeseed (wide eyes) Oh! Funness. Lol. Well, you had to come up with a name somehow! I almost thought it might be because of the nuts you can get from them. They're pretty good. Anyway, thanks for the review!

Sayiangirl Yes! Finally someone who shares my views!

Danny'sGhostGirl Yeppers. I'm a cruel person. Let's see how they take it…

Setine Did we get over our block yet, Setine? Eh? Well, thanks for the review!

svakee2000 Yeah, I've posted it before. But I had to take it down because songfics got banned and this had two songs that I didn't own in it. But don't tell them what happened! Lol. Thanks for reviewing again!

Chapter 4

The Wheeler Residence…Again

That Evening

Joey looked at the people surrounding him. He had called a meeting here to discuss his sister. Something was wrong with Serenity andhe was going to find out what.

"We gotta wait fer Serenity," he said.

Tristan Taylor's brow furrowed. "What's wrong with Serenity?" he asked, his dark eyes flashing. He quickly raised his hand to check his hair. Yes, the point was still there. (heehee)

"I dunno. See, she hasn' really been talkin' ta me."

Tea Gardener exchanged a worried glance with Mai Valentine. Yugi Mouto was silent, but his purple eyes were downcast and full of worry.

Everyone's eyes jumped to the door as it opened and Serenity stepped inside. She looked so frightened, but an alien fire flared in her eyes, and her face was set.

She walked slowly in the chair opposite Joey, ignoring the others in the room. She was followed by none other than Seto Kaiba. Joey rose quickly.

"Get the hell outta my house, Kaiba." He pointed to the door.

"No, Joey." Her brother was surprised at the power enforced in her voice. "I invited him. I want him to stay."

"Serenity! We're talking about Seto Kaiba!"

"Joey, we have something else we need to talk about first." Her tone was monotonous and she hadn't met his eye yet. "And you're not going to like it. Please sit down, Joey."

Joey sat, staring at his sister. Every gaze was on her as she sank into the chair opposite him. She looked him straight in the eye.

"Joey," she took a breath. "I…I'm p-pregnant, Joey…"

There. She had said it.

He just stared at her, trying to process what she had just told him. His baby sister… He had always protected her, but… now…when he had left her alone momentarily…some had…gotten to her…tricked…maybe even…raped her. But who?

The thought never occurred that it was consensual.

Mai and Tea came to a conclusion quicker than Joey. So did Yugi. He gave Kaiba a questioning glance, to which Kaiba gave no reply.

Joey and Tristan were still pondering it. Joey was beginning to shake from anger, understanding that his sister was no longer innocent; that she had been violated…that she was no longer a girl…she was a woman.

Tristan was just upset it hadn't been him.

"Who?" Joey managed to choke out. "What goddamned bastard did this to you, Serenity?"

"He's not like that Joey," she answered quietly. "And I…I love him…"

Yugi noticed Kaiba's moth twitch, like he was trying not to smile.

"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN! Who is it?" Joey stood up. "SERENITY!" He thundered, taking an angry step toward her. Kaiba shifted his weight, prepared to protect her.

She gasped at the maniacal look in his eye, and quickly put the chair between them.

"JOEY! CALM DOWN!" she screamed at him. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!"

He suddenly froze and his eyes moved from his sister to the tall brunette next to her. "Kaiba…" his voice was filled with venom.

Seto's expression didn't change, and he held Joey's angry gaze unmercilessly. Joey had finally reached the conclusion of what happened; who it had been:

Kaiba…

"What da fuck did ya do to my sista, Kaiba?" (Au 1)

Seto raised a brow. "Excuse me, Wheeler? Having and issue that your sister's old enough to make her own decisions?"

"Her own decisions? Am I really supposed ta believe that she did…that with YOU willingly?" Joey was stepping toward him, fists doubled up. "I'll kill ya, Kaiba! I WILL KILL YA FOR WHAT YA DID TO 'ER!"

"NO!" Serenity exclaimed, stepping between them. "I won't let you hurt him, Joey!"

"So…it was him then?" Joey looked at his sister. He looked like his heart had been stepped on with a golf shoe. "How could ya do that to me, 'Ren? And with 'im…"

Serenity looked away, unable to look at her brother. The others were silent as they watched her. "I…I don't know, Joey, but I'm sorry that you won't accept what happened between Seto and me. But…I-I need him, Joey, like I need you." She pleaded with him, tears coming to her eyes. "I love you, Joey, and I'm going to need you…but I need Seto as well and…" she paused, praying Joey would understand. "And…the baby needs him, Joey."

"Is that so?" Joey held himself high now, looking at his sister with dead fish eyes. "Sure you ain't making it up so you can be with HIM every night?" he spat at her.

She was truly hurt. How could he say that to her? She felt Seto tense behind her. A hot tear ran down her face. How could her accuse her of that? How could he?

Serenity burst into tears and ran to her room. Seto gave Joey a disgusted look. "How could you call your own sister a whore?" he asked.

"How can you live with yaself after ya got a sixteen year old girl pregnant?" Joey retorted.

"Because I know I can take care of them."

"Who says I want you around my sista?"

"I could care less what you want, Mutt. I care about Serenity and our baby." He pushed past Joey and went down the hallway to Serenity's room.

Joey watched him as he went into his sister's room. "Who the hell does he think he is?" He turned to Tea and Mai. "Did you know? Did you know what he did to her?"

"No, Joey, we didn't know," Mai answered. "She didn't even tell us." Tea remained silent.

Joey suddenly plopped down and put his head in his hands, his shoulders shaking slightly.

"Oh, Joey," Mai whispered.

-Meanwhile-

Serenity was sprawled on her bed face down, crying her heart out. Seto sat down next to her. He didn't say a word. He didn't say he was sorry. He didn't say 'don't cry.' The tears made only a small imprint on his heart as pity welled up for this woman he had grown to love. The silence was prolonged for several minutes, broken only by Serenity's sobs. Then an idea came to him. He remembered a soft voice and a warm hand.

He began to sing softly as he lightly stroked her hair. His voice was strong and haunting, as it had been that night.

"Cause you pulled me from my shell
showed me how to be complete
it was like a warning bell
saying 'just admit defeat'.
And you showed my how to love
and I thank the stars above,
that it was then and there
You stole my heart."

Serenity's sobbing was slowly subsiding as she began to listen to his soft voice, the song bringing back a better time.

"And then there was a light in this world,
The kind I'd never seen before.
And you were standin' there
so beautiful to me.
And I was wonderin'
why'd it take me so long
to see that you alone
could melt me?
And coming to light I knew
I loved you

'Cause you pulled me from my shell
showed me how to be complete
it was like a warning bell
saying 'just admit defeat'.
And you showed my how to love
and I thank the stars above,
that it was then and there
You stole my heart..."

(Au 2)

Seto's voice drifted away as he noticed Serenity was no longer sobbing. She sat up and looked at him though red rimmed eyes. He smiled and took her hand. "Come on. I'll take you to dinner."

She hiccupped and nodded. "Okay."

He traced a gentle finger on her face, wiping away her tears. She was still shaking slightly and Seto pulled her close. "It'll be okay. I love you, Serenity. It'll be okay. Everything will be alright."

She nodded and pulled away, willing herself to believe him as she moved toward the closet grabbing a coat before following him down the hallway.

Joey stood up as they walked through the living room.

"Goin' somewhere?" he said, angrily glaring at Seto.

"Yeah," Seto said, holding the door open for Serenity. She walked through quickly, bowing her head unable to bring her self to look at her brother or friends. "Where Serenity isn't going to be ridiculed for her choices."

-Later-

As they sat in the limo, Serenity eyed Seto carefully. "Who taught you to sing like that?"

Seto smiled softly. "My mother."

"You're going to make a wonderful father, Seto," Serenity said, her eyes starting to fill with tears again.

"I hope so, Serenity," he put an arm around her and she leaned against him. "For the baby's sake, I really hope so…"

A/N: Yeah. Okay. And I cut it shorted, because I decided to make it five chapters. Next chapter, the kidlet! Yeahness. But wait, is this a surprise I have hidden up my sleeve? I guess you're gonna have to wait and find out! Please R&R!

Au 1: That would just about explain what happened…sorry every time I read that it ran through my mind.

Au 2: Again, I didn't want to make up another song, so I just did a new verse for the previous song from Chapter Two.
