Chapter 5

The Birthing


-Eight moths later-


"You're doing great. Just a little more…"

With a great cry, Serenity gave a final push and fell back on the bed. The sound of crying filled her ears.

"She's okay. She and her sister are both healthy and have quite the lungs…"

"Twins," Serenity chocked out, tears freely falling. She was so glad to be rid of the pain.

"So I heard."

Seto smiled down at her. Her face was covered in sweat and her hair was tousled and strew all around her as she lay in the bed.

A nurse walked up and put one of the babies in her arms.

"I have a baby…" she whispered.

"You have two babies, Love," Seto said.

The nurse brought the other one to her other side.

"Here," she said, handing the baby to Seto. "You get the other one."

He stiffened slightly as the nurse laid her in his arms.

"Relax," the nurse said, instructing him on how to hold the baby. "Support her head. There, that's it."

The little girl in his arms took his breath away. He walked slowly toward Serenity and leaned down by her. "There's your mama," he cooed to her.

"Oh, Seto," Serenity said breathlessly. "She has your eyes."

Seto smiled. "Let's hope that's all she got." Serenity chortled.

"What are we going to name them, Seto?" she asked.

He paused for a moment. "You want…me to pick their names?"

She nodded.

"Okay," he said, pondering. 'They look so much like their mother,' he thought. An idea came to him.

"Charity," he nodded at the little girl in Serenity's arms. "And Hope."

"They're beautiful names, Seto," she nodded as the nurse asked the children's names. "Charity Ann Kaiba and Hope Christine Kaiba." She smiled at him. "Why those names, Seto?" she asked quietly.

"Because of you, Serenity. You taught me charity and you gave me hope. When there was no light, you led me from the darkness."

Serenity smiled as her eyes began to close. A nurse came by and took Charity as she fell asleep. "You should…" she yawned widely. "Be a poet…"

Seto smiled as well and handed Hope to a nurse before heading out of the birthing room. He walked into the cafeteria and bought a coffee.

He blew on it gently as he headed back to Serenity's room, but something caught his eye and he turned.

Standing by the window at the maternity ward was a mass of blonde hair that Seto instantly recognized.

"Joey," he said forcefully, walking over to him. Neither he nor Serenity had seen head or tail of Joey since the fight in the apartment when she first told him, and the day after when she moved out.

"Kaiba," Joey said, looking through the window as the nurses brought in his babies. "Um…which one is it?"

"The two on the left," Seto said, pointing through the glass.

"T-two?" Joey asked, looking uncomfortable.

Seto nodded smiling softly as he watched one of them give a husky cry.

"What are their names?"

"Charity and Hope."

"Oh…How's Serenity?"

"She's doing fine according to the doctors."

"That's good…"Joey rubbed the back of his head uncomfortably. "Listen, Kaiba, I-"

"I don't want to hear it, Mutt," Seto said, his voice and gaze hardening. "If you have something say, like an apology perhaps, you need to tell Serenity, not me because, frankly, I don't give a damn."

Joey's mouth snapped shut.

"She's missed you a lot," Seto commented nonchalantly after a moment of awkward silence. "The pregnancy's been tough for her. She really wanted your support."

Joey rubbed a hand through his hair. "I can't believe I was such a jackass." He shook his head.

"Well, that's your loss isn't it?" Seto chuckled darkly. "You just missed out on eight months of mood swings, food cravings, and a numb hand." He flexed his left hand, still red from the birth and laughed softly. "She had six months where she ate nothing but garlic and vinegar…and ice cream," he added musingly.

Joey smiled softly. "She never was a picky eater…unless I was cooking."

A nurse walked up to them and tapped Seto on the shoulder. "Excuse me, Mr. Kaiba, sir?"

He looked at her. "Yes?"

"Miss Wheeler requests your presence."

"So, she's awake is she?" The nurse nodded and waked away. He turned. "Coming, Mutt?" Seto smiled deviously over his shoulder. "You still owe her an apology."

Joey shrugged and followed him.

Serenity was sitting up cooing at one of the babies when Seto walked in.

"You didn't sleep long," he commented, brushing back her hair and kissing her forehead. He ran his hand down the face of the little girl in her arms. "Charity?" he asked. Serenity shook her head.

"You loose. It's Hope."

He moved to pick up Charity, gently handling her head. She let out a small squeak and gurgled at him, blinking.

Joey was amazed at the gentleness Seto displayed with the child. He never would have expected it from him. He knocked softly on the door.

Serenity looked up. "Joey!" Her tired face lit up with joy. Seto smiled and laid the baby back in her crib before leaving the room and closing the door gently behind him.

"Joey! I'm so glad you came!" She moved the baby slightly so that she could hug him. "I've missed you!"

"Yeah," Joey backed up and looked at his sister. She looked so much older now… He shifted his weight uncomfortably. "I've missed you, too, sis."

"Joey…" Serenity paused, looking at him concernedly.

"I'm an absolute jackass."

They heard snickering from outside the door.

"Oh, Joey, it's not your fault…"

"Yeah it is…I abandoned you…"

"But you're here now…"

"To apologize for what I said."

"Joey," Serenity looked on the verge of tears again. "I forgave you the moment you said it. I know you didn't mean it. You were shocked… I was scared, so I ran… He's taken really good care of me, Joey."

Joey sighed. "I knew he could, but I didn't wanna admit it…it was too much like loosing you again…like when mom left." He shook his head sadly. "It was like dis person I hated was taking you away…"

Serenity laughed. "Seto wasn't trying to kidnap me or force me into anything. What happened between us was my choice too…"

Joey sighed again. "I know dat now…I'm sorry." Silence lapsed into the room.

The door opened and Seto peered in. "All finished with the sappy casualties?"

Serenity laughed and threw a pillow at him.

He picked it up and walked across the room, shoving it behind her head again before leaning down and kissing her passionately. Joey made a slight gagging noise behind them.

Seto smirked. Damn, he loved being sadistic to the Mutt.

Joey leaned uncomfortably against the wall when they parted. "So…eh… you two ain't married?"

Serenity shook her head. "No, not yet anyway." She smiled at Seto expectantly and winked. "We will though."

He only laughed, catching on. "We'll see…"

"Ya haf' ta' marry 'er! You got 'er pregnant. Ya really want the munchkins growin' up wiff me?" Joey said.

Seto stiffened and dropped the joke. "I'd rather hell freeze over…"

"Well, I guess ya have ta marry 'er den."

Serenity giggled and held up her left hand so the golden ring on her third finger caught the light. Three diamonds and several emeralds sparkled.

"Oh…" Joey said, a little putout again.

"Don't worry, Joey, Seto is making you, Mokuba, and Yugi his groomsmen."

"Says who?" Seto exclaimed. "Don't I get a say in that?"

Serenity raised a brow. "No." Seto pouted slightly, but she ignored him. Joey grinned. "Tea, Mai, and Ishizu will be the bride's maids."

"Erg, not Ishizu," Seto groaned, slapping his forehead.

"Yes," Serenity replied. "Ishizu."

Her future husband was looking at her with an 'I-would-kill-you-if-you-weren't-the-mother-of-my-children' look on his face.

Joey nodded. "I'm just glad everything is okay now, sis."

Serenity smiled and rocked the baby in her arms and looked at the other sleeping by her bedside. "Me too, Joey, me too…"


-Authoress Notes-

Yeah! Now it's done. I completely rewrote the ending. Hope it was okay. (well I know it was better than the first one...shudders...my writing was pretty bad. When I find a title and a plot, I'll be putting up a sequel, I think.

Please R&R!

Thank you all for reading. I hope you all liked it! Thanks to the reviewers! Love you all so much!
