Disclaimers on everything that I don't own.

The Awaited Day,

By Winterwing3000

"She is so adorable!" Chisa squealed, tickling the little button nose.

"She looks like Téa!" Mai chimed, comparing the baby to the mother, who sat on the hospital bed, with an exhausted look but smiling nonetheless.

"Aww… you're not going to return the kiss, Joey?" Tristan teased as the infant landed a big wet spot on the blond duelist's cheek as Joey held onto her.

Joey snapped, blushing. "Shaddup!"

"Joey! Watch your language!" Téa said sharply, glaring at her friend.

"Sorry."

"I think she likes Yugi more than Joey actually." Duke said, observing the way that the baby girl was clinging onto Yugi, reaching for his drooping yellow hair.

It had been nearly six hours since Téa had given birth to a baby girl, still un-named since Seto and she were still undecided, who was born on the day of Christmas. The gang had returned home for the night but promised to return and visit the mother and daughter in the morning. Seto sent Mokuba home and remained at the hospital with Téa, occasionally getting coffee from the cafeteria and stayed up in her room for most of the time, watching her and the small being inside the transparent cradle next to the bed.

In the morning, they came as promised. Seto exited the room, and went home to freshen up and retrieve his little brother. There was no doubt that the pre-teen would want to see his niece.

A knock came from the door, silencing the whole group as they turned to look at the visitor.

"Téa?" a black head came through the crack of the door way, big worried purple eyes peering in. Giving a smile, Téa motioned for the boy to come in.

Slipping through, Mokuba went quietly to the bed side, feeling somewhat tense with all the eyes directed towards him. "Ya don't have ta be shy, Mokuba. Don't'cha wanna meet yer niece?" Joey asked, plucking the baby gently off of Yugi.

Sighing unsurely, Mokuba nodded. "Yeah… but… I'm afraid that I'll drop her."

"Here, fix your arms like this and then hold her tightly to you chest, but don't crush her too hard." The brunette mother said softly, maneuvering the growing arms into a inclined X. Taking back her baby from her friend, Téa place her into the young boy's arms.

Mokuba, with his arms sagging from the lightweight, felt his knees shaking. What if the baby didn't like him? Or what if he dropped it?

As in sensing his doubts, the baby gurgled and squealed, waving her little chubby arms at his face, tugging at his ebony locks, taking away all of his insecurities. "Aww, I think she like ye, Mokuba." Joey started teasing.

"Joey, hun, you're gonna be holding the baby if you don't stop teasing everybody." Mai said.

"Okay, okay." The blond male backed off.

Suddenly, without warning, the door opened and Seto stepped in. He directed his blue eyes towards Téa, a face of questioning. The new mother nodded tiredly, before returning to her friends. "Hey guys, do you mind if… I uh… speak with Se-Kaiba privately for a few moments?"

Tristan shot Seto a suspecting look. "Sure… we'll be right out side."

"Thanks." Téa said, taking back the baby from Mokuba. "Yeah, we'll leave you two love birds to spend time with your baby." Mai smirked deviously.

As the gang filed out, Youko darted a glance towards the couple, grinning as he did so. Things were almost complete…

Just six more days… then the whole will be a whole different place.

As the door finally closed, the baby sniffed a bit before letting out a quiet yawn. "Sit down." Téa said, cradling the baby in her arms.

"Hn…" Seto took the seat nest to the bed, staring at the bundle as he did so. "So… decided the name yet?"

"Hm… I wanted something… peaceful and beautiful sounding. I was thinking about naming her Trinity. Since there were three factors that brought her to this world, even though some of them weren't exactly the best. But… I should be grateful. So how about it? Do you like it, Trinity?" she asked the baby herself.

'Trinity' merely gave a small yawn. "I guess that's a yes. What do you think, Seto?"

"Hn… Trinity."

"Mom…" Téa said, "Why didn't you invite the others? They're my friends too!"

After two days spent in the hospital, Téa and Trinity were released and now, Anita was planning to have a small family gathering at her house.

However, she only invited the Kaiba brothers and no one else.

"Well, it is a family gathering, which doesn't include friends. And my granddaughter's father is Kaiba and Mokuba. So why don't you just sit down and relax while I finish cooking this lobster." Anita said.

"Fine… I think Trinity's calling me anyways." The brunette mother went from the kitchen to the living room, where the baby was awake, staring at the ceiling and rolling around the couch.

Smiling, she went over to her baby and sat her in her lap, leaning on the couch. Things seem to just go by so fast. First, she was an ordinary senior who was about to graduate from school. But was kicked out of her mother's house and was employed, earning herself another family. Then, wham, some fortune teller says that her destiny will be changed, plus throwing in some feelings for her employer. Add a pregnancy and a minor break up; you'll get a torrent of feelings. And now, she has a daughter with her friend. This all seems so… cliché, like a chick flick almost.

"You know what, baby?" she looked down at the infant, who tilted her head to the side. "Mommy lives a very queer life. Very very queer life. Did you know that I dreamt of him again?"

"Ahh!" Trinity shook her mother's pinkie, as if understanding her.

She kissed her daughter's head. "Yami… he came back, last night to warn me. But…"

"Where am I? Hello?" Téa asked the land filled with sand and a pointed horizon. She took a few steps, walking straight into the walls of a village. Looking around, she didn't see what she stepped on until she felt it.

Something wet and foul scented coated her feet. Turning her head downward, what she saw nearly made her hurl. Bodies segments littered the sand, along with many patches of decaying blood. Arrows, swords and pieces of armor dressed these body parts. Outdoor shops and taverns were overturned; some houses were burnt down to the ground.

When she saw the kohl markings on their face and the golden jewelry on their necks or arms, she immediately knew where she was.

Egypt… 5 millennia ago.

"I've see that you've came." A masculine voice came from behind her. There was a slight neigh of a horse. Turning around, she faced her former love, Yami or… Atemu. He sat on his white mare, dressed in a cotton cape and many riches.

"You… called me here?" she asked, shocked.

"Yes. Come, there is much to discuss…" Yami offered her his hand, which she took and was pulled up to the horse, sitting behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist as he yanked the reins.

They rode toward the rising sun, hair whipping wildly in the wind. The white horse galloped to the Nile, where they silently sat down on the wet bay. "So… why did you call me here?" she asked.

"Yes. There is much to tell you. I have to warn you of the dangers that are to arise. But… why don't you tell me of your life now. Are you happy?" the tanned Egyptian king asked.

"I… I guess that I am. I have a daughter now, Trinity. And I've graduated from high school with the rest of the gang." Téa said, clasping her hands together, placing them on her drawn knees.

"That's wonderful. I'm glad that you are." Yami gave her a small smile.

"Anyways… what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Well… I want to warn you about the next night… before the change of the year. Your closest ally could mean your destruction, so trust only the one who can find you."

"One who can find me?"

"Yes… trust him… he holds your heart and life in his hands…"

Everything melted away as Téa slowly regained consciousness.

"Well… that was about it… what do you think he was talking about?" Téa asked Trinity, who only blinked in return.

DING DONG!

Startled, the baby started bawling as she went to get the door, soothing her child as she did so. "Coming! Shh… don't cry, Mommy's here." The brunette patted the baby's back, and unlocked the door as Trinity finally started to settle down.

"Seto! You made it… wait, where's Mokuba?" Téa looked around the tall CEO, hoping to find his younger sibling.

"He said that he has to work on a summer project with a friend so he'll be staying at their house." Seto answered, closing the door and taking off his shoes.

"Oh, okay. You want to sit down or something? Mom isn't finished cooking yet…"

"Actually, I just did Téa. Hello Kaiba. How are you?" Anita said, wiping her hands on the towel tucked in her flowery apron. "Come, dinner is ready. And I've saved some pie for Mokuba, since I overheard that he couldn't come."

"Thanks." He said in return, following the two women into the kitchen.

Téa strapped Trinity onto the rocker next to her seat and went to retrieve the bottle of warm milk from the counter, wrapping a napkin around it first and then held to for the baby to suckle.

Seto sat next to her as Anita sat across from him. "Well, enjoy. I hope that you like lobster."

"Hm…" Seto replied, picking up some Indian rice with chicken mixed into it. As they ate, silence lingered in the air. The only noise was when Trinity started complaining and shoving the bottle away from her.

DING DONG!

Turning her head to the door, Téa said aloud, "Who can that be?"

"Let me get it dear…"

"Wait, are you…?" the brunette started only to slump back into her seat, eyes beginning to become unfocused. "What?"

"What's wrong?" Seto asked turning his head sharply to face her clouded eyes. His head felt like something weighing about six tons had smashed into him. "Shit…"

"It seems that the powder's working smoothly." A suave voice said from the entrance of the kitchen.

Seto blinked his blurry eyes to make out two dark forms dressed in black and a shock of yellow hair. He quickly recognized the person. "Youko… you bastard." He hissed at the American.

"Mom? Youko? Chisa? What's going on guys?" Téa whimpered as she held her pounding head. Trinity began to wail.

"It is time…" Chisa said, a wicked smile on her face.

Téa and Seto's world turned black as Anita turned away from the scene, unable to watch what was happening in front of her.

It is time…

For High Priest Akunadin to arise once more…
