Wow I actually had time to update, and I just had exams two weeks ago! Hope you people are happy with this update because this is my second last chapter and the last chapter will be the ending and an epilogue, which I intend to post soon… So probably in the beginning of March, I will post my next story; I will let you know what story out of the three story ideas I've chosen to write in my next chapter! But I'll eventually write the other two and some new ones later… Appreciating all the great reviews very much and now before I begin the next chapter, a note to my reviewers…
AstarothTheFallen - Thanks you for the compliments on my story, glad you're enjoying it! I don't think my story is well written or developed that much but glad someone thinks that! Sorry to keep you waiting since my last chapter was a cliffhanger! Hope you will be interested in my forthcoming stories!
SGCred - Yup things are back to normal for Sakura and Kaiba! Rez's threat was an empty one because I don't intend to write a sequel! Your ideas sound pretty great can't wait, just wondering do you have an idea for a Joey and Mai fic? So you like the sound of 'Two hearts, One love' the most? Just curious, do you like the sound of my 'Dark Passion' story? Tell me your thoughts on it. Even if I do start with a different story next, I'll probably still write my 'Two hearts, One love' story. Can't wait for updates from you!
Josephine Jekyl - You really knew Sakura was pregnant, didn't you? Well you'll find out everything in this chapter! Glad you like all my ideas for my next fic! I'll reveal which one I'm writing next in my epilogue!
Kumaragirl - Glad you liked my last chapter! So you're interested in 'The Game of Love' and 'Two hearts, One love'? Well just wondering, I want to know you're thoughts on my 'Dark Passion' story because I might write that one next but I'm still undecided about it. I'll reveal what I'll write for my next story in the epilogue! You'll know if Sakura's pregnant or not in this chapter!
Chapter19: Light-Hearted Moments
-
Kaiba tensely paced up and down the top left hallway of the Domino Hospital. He was so apprehensive about Sakura's health that he couldn't think straight anymore. 'How could this happen to her?' Kaiba kept thinking. As soon as she had lost her conscious, him and Serena brought Sakura directly to the hospital. It was almost an hour and a half since Sakura was taken into a room to get checked, and Kaiba was losing his patience. He slowly paced towards the room where Sakura was for the last hour. Right in front of the room on a near by bench sat Serena and Mokuba, silently waiting for further news of Sakura. Kaiba had given Mokuba the news about Sakura and was brought here by Serena.
Kaiba couldn't take this anymore; he let his fist crash into the wall beside the door in rage.
"Seto are you okay" Mokuba asked from the sudden crash.
"I am, but Sakura isn't" Kaiba said impatiently.
"Don't worry Mr.Kaiba" Serena said as she got up from the bench and walked towards him"I'm sure she'll be fine" she answered supportively, but even she was worried about Sakura.
"How do you know for sure" Kaiba asked, now turning around and looking sharply into Serena's soft gray eyes.
"I'm not sure, but I have full faith in her" Serena replied as she looked away from his piercing glare.
"If you did have full faith in her, then you wouldn't have made the same mistake as I did in misunderstanding her" Kaiba said in anguish.
"I admit I had misunderstood her for a cheap incident like that, but I know her a lot more than you do Mr.Kaiba" Serena responded as she looked right at him.
"Tell me, how did you find out the truth" Kaiba asked with his arms crossed against his chest.
"Sakura told me everything one day in my office but I still didn't believe her until she showed me that e-mail she had printed in Darrin's office, silly of me really how I regained my trust in her because of an e-mail rather than actually believing a best friend's words" Serena replied with a sigh.
Kaiba may not have admitted but he too was feeling ashamed of himself, how a stupid e-mail convinced him rather than his wife's own words.
"I still can't believe how I blindly fell in love with Darrin" Serena said stressing his name in disgust"And I misunderstood my best friend without even giving a second thought about it, but I'm grateful that Sakura forgave me" she said.
"It was also very foolish of me to blindly believe the circumstance Sakura was in and ignore her when she was trying to explain the truth to me" Kaiba responded.
"Mr.Kaiba may I see you for one moment please" Doctor Hikari said as she finally came out of the room Sakura was in.
"Yes Doctor" Kaiba replied as he turned around to face her.
"How is she doctor? Is she okay" Kaiba asked immediately wanting to know everything.
"Please relax Mr.Kaiba, your wife is perfectly alright" Doctor Hikari answered calmly"I have some good news for you" she said beaming.
"What is it" Kaiba asked a bit puzzled.
"Sakura's going to become a mother" Doctor Hikari smiled.
"Sakura's…pregnant" Kaiba asked shocked after a moment, he wasn't really expecting that.
"About one month to be exact" Doctor Hikari replied still with a plastered smile on her face"I guess that's why she kind of lost her conscious."
"Does Sakura know" Kaiba asked.
"Not yet, but you may now go inside if you want, she should be waking up in few minutes" Doctor Hikari said as she left.
"Congratulations Mr.Kaiba" Serena smiled, feeling very happy for her friend and Kaiba. They had been through enough and deserved to get this good news.
"What happened Seto? Is Sakura okay" Mokuba asked as he quickly bounced off the bench near by and tugged on Kaiba's trench coat.
"You're becoming an uncle" Kaiba replied with a small smile as he looked down at his brother.
"Really? Sakura's pregnant? That's cool" Mokuba said jubilantly.
"I'm going to go see Sakura inside okay, I'll call you in later" Kaiba responded as he ruffled his brother's hair"Feel free to come if you want Serena" he said glancing at her.
"No its okay, I'll come in later, I'll leave you two alone for awhile" Serena replied.
Kaiba entered the tranquility of the small room painted completely white with a small bed in the corner. He slowly walked towards the small bed as he saw Sakura lying there with her eyes closed, as the white sheet covered her petite frame right below her chest. Kaiba watched intently to the rise and fall of her chest as she breathed. He found a chair beside her bed and sat down in it as his blue eyes watched her with tenderness. He tediously reached for her hand lying motionlessly beside her and gently held it in his.
"Sakura…please…wake up" Kaiba softly whispered holding her hand, never letting it slip away from his. A few moments later Kaiba felt Sakura's hand gently grasping his hand as her eyelids gradually opened, indicating that she was awakening. She slowly blinked her eyes a few times trying to get familiar with her surrounding and where she was. Her head gently tilted in her pillow to the right where she came upon a pair of affectionate blue eyes looking back at her.
"Seto…" Sakura called softly as her lips slowly curved upwards into a small smile.
"Sakura" Kaiba responded back as he held her hand tightly in his.
"Where am I? The last thing I remember is when I started to feel really dizzy" Sakura said recovering her thoughts from before.
"You fell unconscious and Serena and I brought you here to the hospital" Kaiba replied as he brushed back a few strands of hair on her face"Mokuba's here too" he added.
"Where are they" Sakura asked.
"They're outside, they want us to be alone for awhile" Kaiba replied caressing her hand in his.
"Are you sure Rez and Darrin have left Japan forever" Sakura asked with a bit of fear in her heart.
"Don't you worry Sakura, I'm sure they're gone for good" Kaiba reassured her.
"But Rez threatened…" Sakura began but was cut off.
"They won't dare come back as long as I'm with you" Kaiba responded as Sakura gently smiled.
"Sakura… now that I know the truth, I hope you have forgiven me about the misunderstanding between us" Kaiba said.
"You're forgiven" Sakura replied as she gently smiled at him.
"Thank you" Kaiba said softly as he kissed her hand.
"I also have some good news" Kaiba said after a few moments of silence between them.
"What is it" Sakura asked puzzled, wondering what other good news was waiting for her.
"You're becoming the mother of our child" Kaiba said gently with a small smile. Sakura gave him a surprised and a confused look, he knew she wasn't expecting it.
"I…am? But…how do you know" Sakura asked completely overwhelmed by the news.
"The doctor told me the news while you were still unconscious" Kaiba replied.
"So I'm pregnant" Sakura asked still in shock, she just couldn't believe it.
"One month to be exact" Kaiba responded.
"But Seto…how" Sakura asked, failing to remember how it could've happened.
"Remember Sakura…the night right after the New Year's eve party…" Kaiba hinted to her as memories of that night floated back into their minds…
- Flashback-
"Thanks for coming guys" Sakura said as everyone was leaving after the New Years eve party.
"No problem, it was lots of fun" Tea replied as she and Yugi left.
"Later" Joey said as he and Mai left.
"Bye Sakura, hope you have a happy New Year" everyone else said as they all left together.
"You too" Sakura replied as she finally closed the big mansion doors and let Roland lock it for the night.
"Now that was fun wasn't it Seto" Sakura asked as she turned around and walked towards Kaiba, who was standing near the living room entrance.
"It was…okay" Kaiba answered with a shrug.
"What time is it" asked Sakura, yawning at the same time.
"Two AM" Kaiba replied looking at his watch.
"Two AM, no wonder I'm yawning! But I'm too tired to go upstairs and to our room" Sakura said, yawning once again.
"Then I guess I have to take my sleeping beauty upstairs" Kaiba said as he lifted Sakura in his arms and headed towards the staircase.
"How nice of you prince charming" Sakura smiled as she put her arms around his neck while he carried her up the stairs. Kaiba slightly smirked as he walked down the dark hallway and into their room with Sakura in his arms. He then slowly laid Sakura down on their bed.
"I'll go get changed first, before I fall asleep" Sakura said as she slowly started to get up but was stopped by Kaiba.
"No need to" Kaiba replied as he slowly unbuttoned his shirt and removed it, revealing his bare muscular torso. Sakura gave him a confused look as she watched him slowly climb into their bed.
"Seto…what are you exactly doing" Sakura asked as Kaiba roughly let his body lay on top of Sakura.
"I thought I should start off by giving you some love for the New Year" Kaiba smirked as he looked down at Sakura, noticing the slight blush on her cheeks and enjoying the warmth of her body against his.
"But Seto let me…" Sakura began but was cut off.
"Sshh…" Kaiba hushed silently as he leaned in towards her face and embraced her lips in his in a very passionate kiss. Sakura didn't refuse, as she was totally mesmerized into the kiss and let her lips respond back with the same amount of passion as Kaiba gave. Sakura's respond induced Kaiba to go further as he deepened the kiss by letting his tongue slip into her mouth. Their lip-lock continued for sometime but came to an end as they both parted for air.
They both gazed into each other's eyes, hazel ones meeting blue. Their room was completely dark and soundless except for a bit of moonlight entering through the peeks between the curtains. A temptation of passion was burning deep within their hearts as they continued to gaze at each other with affection.
"Seto…" Sakura called softly as she brought her hand up towards his face and caressed his cheek ever so gently.
"Sakura…" Kaiba said softly as he ran his fingers through her soft cinnamon hair.
He then slowly leaned down towards her neck as his lips brushed against her soft skin and then left trails of kisses down her neck to her collarbone. She slowly wrapped her arms around his bare torso as he slowly came back up to her lips. He caught her lips once again in a very tempting kiss. They continued their lip-lock for awhile but once again parted for air.
"Seto…I…" Sakura said breathlessly as she looked into his eyes but was silenced by his finger on her lips.
He then slowly leaned near her ear and whispered softly yet enticingly"Let me touch your soul, your heart, your…body…" he said stressing the last word.
Sakura was totally speechless; she wanted to express her feelings for him but sexually? And so soon? It was also clear he wanted to be sexually intimate with her but she wasn't sure. Too caught in the moment and with his deep blue eyes waiting for a response, she slowly nodded her head in approval. With her approving response, Kaiba slowly began to unbutton down Sakura's blouse…
-Flashback End-
Sakura's cheeks turned a shade of crimson as memories of that night became refreshed in her mind. Kaiba smirked as he looked at his wife turning red at the thought of that special night.
"Do you remember know" Kaiba asked teasingly. Sakura looked up at him and blushed away smiling at the thought.
"I see you're awake" Doctor Hikari said as she entered the room"How are you feeling" she asked as she walked towards Sakura's bed.
"Fine" Sakura responded as she tried to sit up with her pillow leaning against her back.
"That's good to hear" Doctor Hikari said smiling as she felt Sakura's pulse on her wrist"So Sakura, did your husband tell you the good news" she asked looking up at Sakura.
"Yes" Sakura said as she smiled at the doctor.
"Congratulations, how do you feel about it" Doctor Hikari asked.
"Pretty good" Sakura replied calmly.
"That's nice to hear" Doctor Hikari smiled"I hope you're just as happy as your wife Mr.Kaiba" she added.
"I am" Kaiba responded with a small smile.
"Well, you take care of yourself Sakura, feel free to see me whenever there is a problem" Doctor Hikari said before she left the room. Just as Kaiba was about to get up from his chair and sit beside Sakura on her bed, Serena entered the room.
"Sakura…" Serena said but stopped mid-way"Am I interrupting something? Maybe I should come in later" Serena said, as she was about to leave.
"No Serena its okay, come in" Sakura responded.
"You sure" Serena asked turning back around.
"I'm sure" Sakura replied smiling.
"Thank God you're okay" Serena said as she walked up beside the other side of her bed"And congratulations, I heard the good news" Serena smiled as she hugged her friend.
"Wow, good news really do spread quickly" Sakura replied, returning the hug.
"So how do you feel about becoming a mother" Serena asked.
"Good, I guess" Sakura replied"I mean its only been a month."
"Sakura" Mokuba squealed as he ran into her hospital room.
"Hey Mokie" Sakura said smiling as she turned around.
"I knew you would be alright" Mokuba said, throwing his arms around her in joy.
"I can't believe you're becoming a mother and I'm becoming uncle" Mokuba said as he looked up at her with excitement in his gray eyes.
"I see news spread quickly" Sakura responded as she glanced at Kaiba.
"Excuse me Sakura, I'm going to phone the others and give them the news if that's alright with you" Serena said.
"Sure… I guess, I mean they would eventually know anyway" Sakura replied.
"Coming Mokuba" Serena asked as she turned around before heading out of the room.
"Umm…sure" Mokuba said following Serena, deciding to leave his brother and Sakura alone for awhile.
"Seto…come sit here beside me" Sakura said after Serena and Mokuba left the room. Kaiba gently smiled as he got out of his seat and sat next to Sakura on her bed, also putting his arm around her.
"I still can't believe we're going to have a baby" Sakura said softly looking into his calm blue eyes.
"Neither can I" Kaiba whispered gently as he pulled Sakura closer too him and lightly kissed her forehead.
