Author's Note: I hope this story will be just as good as it's counterpart. It is up to the readers to decide, you are all the reason why Run Away Puppy was so successful. Now, can part two out do it's first part? We shall see….
Puffin: I LOVED YOUR STORY! NOW YOU MUST WRITE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! You left me at a cliffhanger! I can't believe you would do that to me! I must know if Joey is going to be okay! I have to know! Don't leave me hanging! It was nice not having a story to worry about but I couldn't take much longer of being storyless. So needless to say, I am happy and excited to be back! Thanks for reading and see ya next chapter!
Yugi-is-my-one-and-only: I am sorry our day was crappy. I hate those days. I am glad that I could cheer you up and hopefully this chapter will do the same thing for you!

I wont say what you'll just have to find out for yourself. Thanks for reading and see ya next chapter!
RyuSenshi-DragonHawk: Yeah, Joey has a complex right now about people knowing about his pregnancy and Seto notices how stressed the blonde becomes over it. Seto is trying to keep his pup and unborn baby healthy; he doesn't mean to be a jerk. Seto is very excited, this is something he has always wanted, a family to call his own since he really didn't have one to begin with. Anyway I'm happy you liked it. Thanks for reading and see ya next chapter!
astalder27: I had to make a sequel. It would have just made no sense to end where Joey and Seto find out they're going to be parents. Parenthood is a whole other story and Mollano, the scumbag, didn't stay in jail! Now he's after Seto and Joey once more and once he finds out about the baby it'll make his revenge that much more sweeter. Now look what I've gone and done, I've said too much.

Run Away Puppy 2: Mollano's RevengeChapter Two: Senior Year Begins With A Baby
Seto POV
Another week of work done, I am finally getting back to my normal self, Kaiba Corp. is ahead on its work and production by a week! A full week! I am no longer having the sense of insecurity about the baby and Joey is even beginning to gain back some of the strength he lost this past trimester…well technically his first trimester isn't done for a another week and a half or so but his strength is in fact returning in full, and he doesn't have morning sickness anymore. Everything is seemingly coming back to normal…but there is still one more problem the pup and I have to face, the public. Joey is almost three months pregnant and is still uncomfortable with anyone, other than his friends, knowing about the baby. It's okay that he feels this way…but he's going to have to face the facts and fess up to the public that he is carrying our baby, we start school again in about three weeks and once he starts showing…there will be no denying and no hiding. The press is going to be killer, they'll have a party with the news of our baby if they get a hold of it before Joey and I announce it. And to make a quick buck or two, I know the scum of the earth will stop at nothing to get a shot of my pregnant puppy. I guess I should have read the fine print of the contract under subsection 12 of children born to multimillionaires. It's going to be chaos.
Okay, I think that's enough wallowing in my future troubles for now. I turn the corner of my street and drive down it until I get to my driveway. I stop at the mailbox, grab my mail then drive up the way and pull my Mustang into the garage. I gather my things then head into the house. I call for Joey but like I had expected, no response. Yeah he's getting his energy back but he still takes the occasional pregnancy nap once or twice a day. I set my brief case on the table then sort through the mail; in it I find a letter for Mokuba, Joey, and myself from our schools. I open my letter and read the notice that has the word 'registration' printed in bold black letter. After I read the notice I realize that Joey isn't going to like attending school pregnant. Now that I think of it, I have never seen a pregnant girl at Domino High. I wonder if they kick them out of the school until the baby is born? Well, that's just something I'll have to sort out with the school when we go to registration this weekend.
I set the notice down then head upstairs to change into some comfortable clothes and wake my slumbering pup. As I walk through the doorway I find none other than my tired and pregnant puppy. He's cuddled beneath the silken blue comforter of the bed and resting peacefully. I decide to change first before I disturb his sleep. I walk into the bathroom and am greeted with a strange sight. There is a pregnancy strip on my counter…why would the pup have this? It says pregnant, but he already knew he was carrying…
End Seto POVThough baffled by the pregnancy test, Seto allows himself to continue what he was doing and soon changes into a pair of jean shorts that hem just below his knee and a black, sleeveless Linkin Park shirt. He may be a famous businessman to the outside world but at home he was a normal teenage boy…. okay a normal father-to-be teenage boy.
Seto lowered to sit on the bed next to Joey's sleeping frame and noticed the blonde hadn't been too unproductive. The brunette lifted the book Baby 101 out from beneath the pup's hands and watched as he stirred. Finally, faded, tired honey brown met loving azure. "Are you gonna get up or sleep the rest of the night away?" Seto asked playfully. The blonde turned onto his side and cuddled with the comforter again, "Don't Seto, I'm tired." The brunette snorted, "Yeah and cranky. Man your hormones have just burst this last week."
"Could you blame me? I have a baby growing inside of me. Everything is changing; my body has to completely reorganize itself so that the baby can have a suitable living space for the next seven months." Seto chuckled lightly, "Alright, okay…I meant nothing by it, I didn't know I was gonna piss you off."
"Seto please, I don't wanna fight." Joey whined while rolling onto his back and gazing up at his lover. "Well then, let's not." The brunette said before leaning down and kissing his pup. They pulled away but Joey didn't want it to end there. He pulled Seto down even further and smiled seductively. "As much as I would like to finish this I can't. I'm hungry and I don't know of that's okay to do while you're pregnant." Seto said honestly, Joey however took it the wrong way. "You know what Kaiba, you can sleep on the fucking couch! If the idea of us having sex together bother's you now you may not want to sleep in the same bed I've been in all day." Joey angrily blurted while facing his back to the brunette. Seto pinched the bridge of his nose between his eyes and sighed out of frustration. He lifted off the bed and slammed the door behind him as he exited the room.
"Humph, good riddance." Joey said to himself as he made himself comfy and closed his eyes. Mokuba had heard the slammed door and left his Gamecube to investigate. He heard someone turn the TV on downstairs and went to see whom it was. "Hey big brother." Mokuba said while walking into the living room. "Hey kiddo." The older boy said to his sibling. "So…what happened? I heard a door slam."
"Nothing." Seto answered while flipping through the channels of his 150-inch plasma TV. "Yeah…sure, that doesn't work any more big brother, now tell me what happened. Is Joey cranky? Did you say something that he found trivial?" Mokuba prodded. Seto sighed and looked over to his baby brother. "You could say that Joey is cranky." The raven-haired boy smiled, "Well Joey's been that way all day so that's not news. What did you say to him big brother?"
"Mokuba…that really isn't any of your business." The young CEO pulled his eyes away from his brother and placed them back on the TV. "Oh…. Joey wants to have sex but you don't know if it's safe and he took it the wrong way." The boy teased, he wasn't as dense about this kind of thing as his brother thought him to be. Ever since Joey had found he was pregnant Mokuba had been educating himself on how Joey would act and feel and what the baby would be like after it was born and brought home. "Mokuba! That really is none of your business. Were you eavesdropping?"
"Eww, Seto, no! You forget that I have a computer in my room. I have simply been educating myself for this long road ahead. I have researched how Joey is going to feel and behave during his pregnancy and I even began studying on how the baby will act after it's born and brought home. You should have done this too, so you may want to start if you are going to avoid sleeping on the couch for the rest of this pregnancy." Mokuba explained. "Hmm, that's quite impressive Mokuba but… Joey and I could have had disagreed on something else, how did you know it was sex?"
"Well big brother, sex is the most trivial object during pregnancy. As the mother becomes pregnant and begins to show a little she becomes self-conscious, afraid that her new body will drive her husband or partner away. When denied the chance to be with her husband her hormones kick in and she thinks that her husband believes her to be ugly and fat. And that big brother is just what you have done to Joey." Mokuba bowed to his brother as if he had just put on a big play and expected a round of applause. The boy stood straight up again only to find his brother staring at him blankly. "Gee, don't thank me or anything for getting you back in your bed tonight Seto." The brunette shook his head, "Do I have to put a parental block on your computer?"
"Seto! I wasn't on any 'dirty' sites. I thought you knew me better than that." Mokuba said feeling a little hurt. Seto sighed, "I do know you better than that Mokuba, I was just kidding. You're a good kid, I know you were doing honest research." The raven haired boy smiled and spoke softly, "You're gonna be a great father Seto." With that, the boy ran back up to his room, leaving Seto to think about what he had told him. The young CEO couldn't help but smile at his brother's last comment, he could only hope to be a great father.
Seto finally had decided to make things right between the puppy and him, he didn't want to be isolated anymore if it could be helped. He also wanted to be there for his pup during his pregnancy, he wanted Joey to know that he could count on him to be there and come to his every beckon call. Entering the bedroom again, Seto found the blonde fast asleep again. He sat down on the bed again then placed his lips on the puppy's. Joey responded to the kiss and he rested his right hand behind Seto's neck. The brunette pulled back and watched as his lover smiled softly at him.
"I'm sorry about what happened earlier pup. I didn't mean to make you feel…."
"Seto… no, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted like that. I don't mean to but my hormones are just running amuck and I can't help it." The younger teen explained. Seto just smiled then kissed his lover's forehead while placing his right hand over their baby. Joey grinned, "Can you believe it? We're actually gonna have a baby of our own!"
"I can't wait to be a father."
"Jamie! Derrik!" Mokuba yelled to his friends as he, Seto, and Joey entered the gymnasium to Domino Elementary. Seto couldn't believe it; this would Mokuba's last year in Elementary School.
"Seto, you okay?" Joey asked a little concerned for his lover. The brunette shook off his disbelief and smiled at Joey, "I just can't believe how fast Mokuba has grown up. He'll be in middle school next year. I feel old." The shorter teen chuckled at the brunette, "Well, you'll have one more to see off through Elementary School." Joey said while holding a hand over his stomach. Seto smiled.
It was like every other year, Seto signed some papers, and then some more papers, and maybe a couple more. Since when did Elementary school registration get so complicated? Seto could only imagine what it would be like when his baby needed to be registered into school, he would be starting from the very beginning there. The orphanage had done everything for him and Mokuba and Seto didn't know the first thing about pre-k. The brunette handed the last of the paper work on his brother to one of the school councilors and then was informed to take Mokuba over to one of the photo booths and get his picture taken for the yearbook. Seto did as he was instructed and as soon as his brother's picture was taken they were off to Domino High. And if Seto thought Mokuba's registration was hard, he was in for a treat. Joey and Seto were gonna start their senior year of high school and a special registration was set up for them. Luckily, the couple had done their paper work at home.
"Joey! Seto!" A familiar voice called to them. The three of them turned to see Yugi and Yami running to them. "Hey guys." Joey greeted cheerfully to them. "We were wondering if you guys wanted to join the rest of us for lunch after registration." Yugi said happily. The blonde looked up at Seto then averted his eyes back to Yugi, "Of course we'll go!" Yugi jumped into the air and cheered, it was always the smallest of things that made him happy. "Well, I have a totally different registration than you, so lets just meet by the oak tree out front." Joey said. Yugi nodded then went to go do his registration stuff.
Joey and Seto handed their papers into their councilors then were given an informational packet on senior pictures. They were gonna have to get them professionally done outside of school and then they had to pick a quote to go with it. Soon enough they were rushed over to a photo booth so they could get their Ids. Just as Joey thought they were scott free, Seto began to walk in the opposite direction of the front door.
"Hey, Seto! Where are you going? The front door is over here." Joey called to the brunette. Seto didn't respond back, he just kept walking. The blonde and Mokuba decided to follow the young CEO; he really gave them no choice.
"Uhhh…why are we going to the principal's office?" The blonde asked a bit confused. Again, Seto didn't answer, he walked in and greeted the man that ran the school. "Principal Kurugi." The brunette said while bowing his head. "Ah, Seto Kaiba, nice to see you back young man. What can I do for you?"
"Well, you may find this funny coming from my mouth but it just struck my curiosity." Seto explained in a stern and icy tone. The principal motioned Seto to continue. "I know someone who has gotten pregnant over the summer and is worried the school wont let them back in because of it. Is this true?"
"My Mr. Kaiba, that is different. Well…this is a highly ranked school and we have a reputation and an image to withhold. We do not just simply refuse to give a pregnant teen girl her much needed education, we transfer them to a secondary school where they can get their core classes but are also given courses on motherhood, child development, and labor and birth. This way they are prone to less stress from this environment and are around other girls who are also pregnant. Now, you said you knew someone who was pregnant, can you give me her name so that we can transfer her to that school?"
"No not at this time."
"Why is that Mr. Kaiba?"
"Because she is simply not ready for anyone to know."
The principal looked suspiciously at Kaiba then asked him another question, "By chance, you wouldn't happen to be the father are you?" Seto froze at Mr. Kurugi's question. What was he supposed to say? If this went on any longer he would blurt out that Joey was the one pregnant and not some imaginary girl. The brunette looked out into the hallway where Mokuba and Joey were staring dumbfounded at him. "Mr. Kaiba, who's out there? Is it this girl we're talking about?"
"Uhhh…No." Seto said quickly. This provoked the principal's curiosity, Seto never usually acted nervous. "Why don't you invite them in?" Kurugi asked quirking an eyebrow. Seto swallowed hard then motioned for Joey and Mokuba to enter. The principal sat back in his chair and looked up at Seto and Joey standing side by side. "You got Mr. Wheeler pregnant?" Kurugi asked in a sarcastic tone. Mokuba could hardly contain his laughter, only because it was true. Joey felt his cheeks begin to burn then excused himself from the room. Seto, however, stood frozen like a deer in the headlights and let a cute pink blush spread across his face. The principal chuckled, "It's okay Mr. Kaiba, I was just kidding." The young and stunned brunette let out a strangled laugh then exited the room with a giggling Mokuba following behind him.
Seto stopped a couple feet away from the principal's hallway and tried to recover himself from that close encounter. "Hey, where's Joey?" Mokuba asked looking around the hallway. Seto stood up straight and looked around as well. Nothing. "Maybe he went out to the car already or even out front with Yugi." Mokuba said. Seto nodded then began to walk in the direction of the front of the school. They exited the school and sure enough, Joey was out front but he looked a little upset. Seto inwardly cursed himself for bringing Joey into that environment.
"Here, go get in the car." Seto said while handing this little brother the keys. The boy nodded and ran off to the vehicle. The young brunette cautiously walked over to the bench that his pup had seated himself on. "May I sit here?" Seto asked softly. Joey nodded but didn't say a word. The brunette sat down. "Listen, I'm sorry pup. I didn't expect…"
"I don't wanna come to school while I'm pregnant Seto." The blonde said through a sniffle. "You can't just give up now Joey, this is our senior year! Our last year of high school! You have worked too hard for the last three years to just give up at the end. I won't have it pup. You have to graduate and make something of yourself, you're better than that, and I should know."
"But…Seto…this is going to be so hard. I don't even know if I'll be here once they find out about the baby. They'll ship me off to that secondary school or they may just kick me out entirely because that is a place for PREGNANT GIRLS. Not Joey Wheeler. Sometimes quitting can be the answer."
"Joey, don't talk down about yourself. You have done and gone through that much more than a normal teenage boy, you're not a quitter you're a fighter and I know that pretty well."
"I just wanna be normal Seto."
"Why? Normal is just so vastly overrated. I don't want you to be like everybody else. I want you to be you, be Joey Wheeler. That is the same reason I fell in love with you. You're different and you're not afraid to be. You're proud of this baby and I know you know that, you want to tell the world but there are no words. Don't worry, nobody needs to know right now, when you feel ready can they know." Seto said while taking the now crying puppy into his arms. "I love you Seto."
"I love you too Joey and this baby. Things will get easier as time presses forward, I promise." The brunette assured his puppy.
"Hey guys." Yugi called as the whole gang followed behind him. Seto placed a quick kiss on Joey's cheek then faced their friends. "So where do we wanna go?" Yugi asked in a hyper tone. "Not pizza." The blonde said.
"Hell must have froze over, Joey said he didn't want pizza!" Duke cried. "Give me a break, I'm pregnant and my hormones are having a hay day right now." Yugi giggled. "Alright, lets eat according to Joey's hormones." The tri hair colored teen said all hyper like.
"How much pure sugar did you let him eat before you left the game shop?" Seto asked quirking his eyebrow at Yami. "Who said I gave him sugar?" The former pharaoh shot back while grinning evilly. Seto cringed, "Uhg…don't put that image in my mind." Joey leaned in to Seto's ear and whispered something only for the brunette hear. "Now that is the kind of image I can handle."
8:46 pm
"Pup, what are you doing?" Seto asked while walking into the study. Joey looked up from the computer screen, "Oh, just reading some stories." The brunette raised an eyebrow, "I didn't know you were into reading fan fiction stories."
"Not those kinds of stories, birth stories."
"Is this what you've been doing this whole time?" Joey nodded at his lover. Seto walked over behind Joey so he could get a glimpse of what his lover was reading. "Anything exciting?"
"Well there was one story about how one woman had to have an emergency cesarean section because her baby's umbilical cord was wrapping around it's neck, it gave me the shivers pretty bad, that is just something an unborn baby doesn't deserve. "You won't have to worry, this baby is going to be born safely and healthy." Seto cooed softly while rubbing his pup's arms then kissing the top of his head.
"Why don't you come outside and lay with me in the hammock?" Seto offered while holding his hand out to his lover. Joey smiled and took the brunette's hand. They walked out to the far left corner of the yard and settled into the hammock. They laid in a comfortable silence for a while then the puppy began to admire the stars aloud. The blonde sighed contently, "You never see this in the city. The stars are beautiful."
"Not as beautiful as you." Seto shot back at his lover. Joey blushed and snuggled closer to the warmth of the young CEO's body. "Why don't we just camp out here tonight?" The blonde said while closing his eyes. "We could…but the way you sleep would cause us both to be thrown from the hammock." The brunette smirked at his lover. Amber eyes glared playfully back.
"If you want to sleep out here we can, we'll just need a blanket and a pillow." The brunette explained. Joey maneuvered so that his head rested on Seto's chest. "I just need a blanket because my pillow's right here." The blue-eyed teen chuckled softly, "Well, before you get too comfortable, I have a question to ask you."
"Okay, shoot."
"Why did I find a pregnancy test on the bathroom counter?" Joey looked up at Seto and saw complete confusion and curiosity. "You already knew you were carrying so why did you need that?" The blonde was a little caught off guard; he hadn't expected Seto to ask about that. "Well apparently Yugi and I think on the same brain waves. I was watching TV and this advertisement for pregnancy tests came on and my mind went wild, 'I wonder if that would work on me?' I asked myself and as if on cue, I hear Yugi's voice at the front door." Seto arched an eyebrow, "Yugi bought you a pregnancy test?" Joey shook his head, "No, he said he gotten it from Tea, but I don't know why she would need one."
"I could think of a few good reasons." Seto said bluntly. Apparently nobody knew about Tea's lust for male attention and what she did with her dance partner after dance practice. Seto had just been unlucky enough to see her drag guy to her apartment. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing pup, just playing around. Anyway, Yugi brought you the test and then what?"
"Well I followed the directions and we both got the results I had expected."
"You're pregnant?" Joey nodded, "Yep! Sure am and it's yours Seto Kaiba, there is just no denying what we did two months ago." The blonde said in a mock accusing tone. "Oh no, whatever shall I do? I can't have a baby I'm too young! You must be crazy!" Seto played along. "Yes I am crazy…about you…Seto Kaiba." The pup finished with a bright and tender smile. The moment had softened and Joey let his lips touch softly to Seto's and held in a gentle kiss.
Author's Note: Awwwwe…. how cute! I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Sorry Joey's so whinny but I think that really brings out what a pregnant teen really goes through, I wouldn't know for sure though. Anyway, the next chapter will be pretty good. Joey's first trimester will have ended and we see the return of Mollano so stay tuned!
