Author's Note: Well another chapter down! There should at least be one or two more before I take off for two weeks. But don't worry, the first thing I'll do when I get back is a new shinny chapter for all to enjoy! Hope you all enjoy this chapter!
IMPORTANT: I have made a mistake on the baby's due date; originally it was March 20, 2006. But after calculation I have found that the baby will be due April 25, 2006. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Puffin: I looked for your other page but I couldn't find it that makes me sad! I am glad to know that you are enjoying my story. Oh… I have a friend who just put up her first story on the site and I thought that maybe since you like Seto Kaiba you might want to check out her story. Her penname is Amy Leigh Kaiba and the story is called "Going Down In Flames". I thought you might want to check her out; you don't have to you if you don't wanna though. Anyway, thanks so much for reading my and I'll see ya next chapter!
Yugi-is-my-one-and-only: Yeah, normal is overrated, that's why I'm seventeen and watch Yu-Gi-Oh and have a pair of Yu-Gi-Oh shoes. My Yu-Gi-Oh collection ranged from t-shirts to the Kaiba Corp. Duel Disk, and two of the three Egyptian God Cards. I don't fit in with normal people at all, especially the girl who claims to be my best friend; she's just too…normal. The Bakura scene was my favorite part of last chapter, I thought it was pretty entertaining and I have decided that there will be more Bakura scenes, especially after the baby is born. Anyway, glad to know that you are enjoying yourself. Thanks for reading and I'll see ya next chapter!
Darkwitch17: Glad you love it! Thanks so much for reading and I'll see ya next chapter!
astalder27: Yes, that scene was a great one! I just thought that after all the angst the story had had so far that it needed a funny part in there somewhere. Bakura make a pass at Joey? Hmmm…. that would make an interesting scene…Seto would totally kill him. If you hate the principal now... just wait, he gets worse, he may even put Joey in the hospital for a couple days due to stress this chapter; and stress is something Joey doesn't need right now during his pregnancy. So trying to kick Joey out of his school isn't the only thing he's gonna try. I won't say much more than that. Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope to see ya next chapter!
Dark Magician Of Chaos: Glad you like it! Thanks so much for reading it! Hope to see ta next chapter!
Miru Amai: Honored to know that you enjoyed the last chapter! Do you want an even better reason to beat the principal senseless? Just read this chapter and you'll have just that! The councilor was based on the very Mrs. Champlin at my school. She is the best! It was comforting to Joey that someone at the school is willing to protect his baby, but it's gonna take more than that. Every little bit counts though, right? Yea! Joey's gonna be a Mommy! That is such an adorable concept! Well thanks so much for reading and I'll see ya next chapter!
Bam-Girl-Gravi: Yeah, I thought by bestowing the title of 'Mommy' to Jou would fit the situation very well. I have always imagined a little boy or girl running around calling Jou 'Mommy' and Seto 'Daddy'. It's just cute! So kawaii indeed! However I don't have a problem with Jou being Daddy, I just feel that Seto has a more dominating presence to him and his puppy doesn't mind being his feminine counterpart…just as long as Seto respects him and treats him equally. Wouldn't you agree? Wow I got way off topic, sorry about that, I don't mean to bore you. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this new chapter and don't worry about your comments; they're just fine to me! Thanks so much for reading and I'll see ya next chapter!
ruby-sama aura-chan the neko-jin: I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you get better without any problems. Well, if you hate the principal now, just wait, it gets better. Thanks so much for reading and get better soon! See ya next chapter!
RyuSenshi-DragonHawk: Well, if you don't like that principal now you just wait, he'll be on your kill list along with Mollano and Birdo! Don't you worry; I'll give you an even better reason to hate him. Glad to hear the story is enjoyable so far, maybe this chapter will boost it even more! Anyway, thanks so much for reading and I'll see ya next chapter!
izzymyster: I am happy to know that you are enjoying my story but…I must ask, did you read the first part before this one? If you didn't I would recommend you read that when you find the time. The title of that one is the same thing just without the subtitle, "Run Away Puppy". In chapter seventeen of the first Run Away Puppy, it goes into detail about how Joey got pregnant. Now that is all cleared up… You have no worries about me not finishing this story it will be finished! I am even considering a third part to make it a trilogy…but I'm not sure yet. But if you do track me down I just want you to know that if anything happens to me…nobody will know what the baby is and what happens with Mollano! Thank so much for reading and I hope you consider reading the first part! See ya next chapter!
mandapandabug: You really like this story don't you? Well here is another chapter for, it's not really action filled like I had hoped but there is one scene where you think something happened to the baby. Anyway, I hope you like this chapter and enjoy it thoroughly. I am glad to hear that you like my story. Thanks so much for reading and I'll see ya next chapter!
Run Away Puppy 2: Mollano's RevengeChapter Five: Coming Clean Too Late
Seto POV
What a rotten day, people are just…I don't the word right now but they've been quite rude to the pup and me all day. I wonder why? Well there is the name that just brightens my day at the sound, puppy. He's all I can think about now a days, him and the baby… Speaking of which, the puppy has finally decided to announce the baby publicly, it only took him fourteen weeks to figure out that people would know eventually, even now that he's beginning to show. It's not much, but you can tell something is definitely going on. Speak of the devil…
End Seto POV"Hey puppy…you look exhausted." Seto stated while brushing a few strands of blonde hair out of Joey's eyes. "I am, my careers teacher had me running errands all class period. It's hard running up and down stairs when you're fourteen weeks pregnant."
"Did she do it on purpose?"
"No, I was ahead on my work so she sent me around the school."
"Well, I guess since you're okay we should be getting to class." Seto said taking one of the puppy's hands in his while making his way down the hall to his left then turning into room two doors down on his right. The couple entered a room with eight rectangular tables pushed together in two separate groups of four. The walls were nearly covered by a never-ending collage; pictures of babies and toddlers stretched beyond as far as the eye can see. There were even pictures of teenage couples, elder couples, and a different variety of families.
Because Joey was still sensitive to the fact of his peers knowing about the real reason he and Seto took two L.I.F.E classes in a row, he had chosen their seats toward the back of the room. The bell finally rang, signaling the beginning of class and thirteen other students entered the classroom doorway and took their seats.
"Alright class, good afternoon to you all." An older woman greeted happily as she entered her classroom. She was a good teacher; a very person orientated, and was probably the only other teacher, besides the councilor, that fully supported Joey's pregnancy. She had long, curly, red hair and glowing green eyes. She loved teaching, especially about life.
"Okay for today's assignment, we are going to watch a movie called "Pregnancy For Dummies" and as you watch I would expect you to take notes on any important details you find. A page and a half will get you an A." Ms. Vicky Gray announced. She put in the tape and watched as her students pulled out their pens and paper.
"So how's baby?" Ms. Gray asked barely above a whisper as she seated herself next to Joey. The blonde smiled, "Fine as far as I know. It's healthy and is growing at a steady rate."
"You don't know the sex?"
"No, not until it's born."
"Well it's good to hear that you're both doing great. But how's Daddy?" She asked while turning to look at Kaiba. The proud papa-to-be nodded his head and smiled, "Excited as ever."
"I'm very proud of the both of you for taking such a huge responsibility of life into your relationship, but personally I wish you would have waited." Ms. Gray explained to the couple. Seto smiled, "Well, with the lives we both had before this there just wasn't a moment more that could be spared. This baby is going to be the joy of our future days."
At about ten minutes passed four a head full of black hair bounded through the front door and raced up the stairs to the second level of the house. "Big brother! I'm home!"
Mokuba placed his backpack on the back of his desk chair then went to find his brother. "Seto?" He asked while peeking his head into the office. "Yeah kiddo?" A voice answered from behind the computer monitor. "Can my new friend Cody stay the night on Friday?"
"That's fine with me but I don't think it will be with his mother by then."
"Why not Seto?"
"Joey and I are going to announce the baby on Friday afternoon, so your friend and his parents may not feel too strongly about us for a while."
"Oh."
The youngest Kaiba, for now, made his way over to the office couch and flicked on the TV. He was proud of the fact that his brother had found someone he could love and trust for the rest of his life, beside himself. He was even that much more excited that Seto and Joey were gonna have their own baby; it was really interesting having a pregnant boy around. It was different and it made things that much more exciting. "So big brother, what do you want, a boy or a girl?" Mokuba asked while flipping mindlessly through the thousands of channels they had. "As long as the baby is born strong and healthy I could careless." Seto answered his little brother. "Come on Seto don't give me that, what do you really want? I know you want one or the other." The brunette chuckled at his brother's truthfulness. "Well Mokuba, I wouldn't mind a little boy…but a baby girl would be nice too."
"Setooooooo! Come on really!"
"Mokuba, you have to realize that this baby is a gift. And whatever this baby is I'll be content with. Like I say, as long as its born strong and healthy, nothing else matters." The brunette explained to the young raven-haired boy. Mokuba smiled, "Alright, I'll accept that for now." Seto chuckled and went back to whatever it was he was working on. After about an hour of SpongeBob Squarepants, Mokuba began to ask his brother more questions.
"Seto…how is Joey gonna have the baby? He can't push it out like girls can."
"He has to have what they call a 'Cesarean Section'. Basically they have to cut him open and pull the baby out. Which means he'll be in the hospital for a couple days or so, so I'm gonna see if Yugi can't watch you for a couple nights." The boy eyed his brother, "Seto, I'm a big boy, I can take care of myself."
"You're not staying in this house by yourself for two or three nights, sorry kiddo, it just isn't happening." Seto said while lying down his last argument. Mokuba pouted, for about thirty seconds, then spoke again. "So, what are you gonna call it if it's a boy or a girl?" The young CEO looked away from his computer again, "I don't know, Joey and I haven't talked about that yet."
"You don't wanna call him Seto Jr.?" Mokuba asked. "We don't the baby's gender kiddo."
"So that doesn't mean you can't at least pick out a couple names for each gender." Seto smiled then went back to work and the boy went back to channel surfing when something caught his eyes. "Seto, what are you working on?"
"The speech for Friday, why?"
"I don't think you need to work anymore."
"What do you mean?"
"Come look for yourself."
Seto sighed while taking his glasses off and walking toward the boy. "Seems Entertainment Tonight got the news out before you and Joey could." Mokuba said while pointing at the TV. Seto turned to the screen and watched in horror, he grabbed the remote from Mokuba and began recording on his DVR.
The anchorwoman smiled and announced the next segment of the show; "Tonight on ET's spotlight we have some shocking news for Seto Kaiba's fan girls and Doctors all over the world…" The woman's voice and image faded into coverage of the most recent news from the Kaiba household, the anchorwoman did the commentary of the story while paparazzi pictures of the couple flashed on screen…
"They are Domino's hottest and youngest couple to begin with…Seto Kaiba and Joseph Wheeler have taken the media by storm with their famous relationship. Though they seemed content with just each other there was a whole other project they were trying to conceive. With sources from Domino High and the general public we were able to confirm that 'Project Baby' has been a success for the young lovers. We even had a doctor come from the Domino Pharmacy Office and tell us about what he had on record.
We found out that Joey was given the good news back in July after he and Seto Kaiba had gone on their one-year anniversary to New York. The young blonde is 14 weeks pregnant currently and still attends school. We hear that they are excitedly awaiting their baby's birth.
But while they wait, a lot of scientists and doctors would like to have a word with the young lovers to get the details on this unusual pregnancy came to be. Maybe this can be ground breaking research to help homosexual couples all over the world to have their own children."
The segment ended and faded back to the anchorwoman, "Well, let us all for the time being congratulate the young couple. On tomorrow's show we will have the doctor who brought us the legitimate evidence confirming this male pregnancy. We'll be right back with ET Birthdays."
Mokuba watched as the TV screen went black and Seto fell lifeless to the chair behind him. "Big brother?" The boy asked cautiously. The brunette was silent and his eyes were fixed on the office carpet. "It'll be okay Seto, really. Think of it this way…they did all the work for you…hehehe…" The raven-haired boy was nervous.
"This is going to break Joey's heart. He'll be crushed." Seto spoke in a whisper more to himself than his brother. "Where is Joey anyway?"
"He's sleeping."
"Seto, please cheer up, I hate seeing you like this."
"Go ahead and go to your room for a while, I have to talk to Joey." Seto said to his brother. Not wanting to test Seto's buttons, the boy did as was told and left to his room. "Why would they do this to us? They didn't have our consent. This was our news…" The brunette whispered while dropping his head into his hands.
"Yo! Jamie!" Birdo called to his friend. Mollano excused himself from whatever it was he was doing and came to his friend's side. "What is it?" Birdo pointed to the TV screen and the former mob boss was shocked to see what he did. "That's impossible! Joseph can't be pregnant!"
"Well it seems legit to me and I gotta tell ya', I don't do children under the double digits. So killing your Wheeler won't happen until after the baby is born." Mollano glared at his partner in crime. "Hey, I had to draw the line somewhere, I may be a killer but I ain't gonna kill a baby, I still have some morals left, believe it or not." James sighed and nodded his head, "Okay, we'll wait to kill Wheeler but once we get there, we take the CEO and his little brother."
"You may not want to do that Jamie."
"Why not?"
"Because that would force Wheeler into hiding and then you may never find him. Lets kill them as a family minus the baby." Birdo explained to his young friend. "Alright, lets just kill em', I don't care how I just want it done. Then, I'll take that baby for myself and raise it as my own." Mollano said. The venom practically spilled from his throat.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE THESE DAYS?" Joey cried. Seto had obviously shown his blonde lover the recorded segment. It was safe to say that the teen was not so happy. "Please, puppy, calm down." Kaiba begged. "No! I am not going to calm down they had no right!"
"Pup, we're a democracy, they did that segment off of rumors that they had heard." Seto explained trying to calm the pregnant boy. "But…they said someone from our doctor's office confirmed it." Joey was now reduced to tears. "Joey…don't cry…please." The brunette said while taking the boy into his arms and comforting him. "I just… I wanted to tell them." The blonde spoke between heartbroken sobs. "Shhhh, everything is going to be alright. We can still announce the baby to make it official if you want. I finished my speech anyway." Joey blinked back tears and looked up to his handsome lover, "We can?" The blue-eyed teen nodded then kissed his pup's forehead. "Thank you Seto."
"You're welcome puppy."
Seto had decided he wanted to drive today, so he, Mokuba, and Joey piled into the sleek, black, Ford Mustang GT. "I get to be the cool kid today!" Mokuba squealed with delight from the back seat of his brother's car. "Aren't you cool everyday? You show up in a limo every morning." Joey said. "Nah, the kids at school expect that now so they really don't care, but now they get to see my brother's hotrod!" The raven-haired boy said excitedly. "I have a feeling the baby is gonna be hyper like your brother Seto." The brunette chuckled as he pulled out of the driveway and drove away from the house. "Hotrod? Ha, a 1968 black Camaro is what I call a hotrod, though this is a very nice car Camaros are my babies." Joey explained to the younger Kaiba.
'Hmmm…maybe I should buy the puppy a car, the very car he loves. The only thing he has is that motorcycle of his and there is no way he will haul that baby around on it… I'll take the limo to work tonight and come back with a '68 Camaro for the puppy.' Seto thought to himself as drove.
Mokuba stepped out of his brother's car as if he were godlike and smiled at some girls who were pointing at him, they giggled and waved to him. The boy turned and found his friends running over to him. "Whoa, that was a nice car Mokie, is that yours?" Derrik asked. "No it's my brothers, cool hu?" His little group of pals nodded. "Yeah, it's a girl magnet." The raven-haired boy said while turning back to the girls.
"Come on puppy, time for school." Seto said while pulling his keys out of the ignition. The blonde didn't say anything to his lover. "Pup, are you okay?" Joey looked up and smiled weakly, "Just preparing myself for the worst to come." The brunette leant over and kissed the pup's temple, "Don't worry, you're not going to be alone. I'll be right there with you." Kaiba explained. "Thanks Seto."
To their surprise, Seto and Joey were only confronted by a few people who were just curious about how something like this could happen, come to think of it, they didn't even know themselves. Joey's body couldn't just decide to let Seto impregnate it one day, how did it happen?
"Joey! Seto!" Yugi called from the front doors of the school. The boy stood there with Yami, Duke, Bakura, Ryou, Tristan, and Tea, like he always did. The couple made their way up to their friends. "Good morning puppy." Bakura teased. "Hey! Are you looking for a fight whitey! Because you found one." Seto growled. Bakura snickered before Ryou elbowed in him in the ribs painfully. "OW! That hurt!" Ryou shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm sorry about last night." Yugi said softly. Joey sighed helplessly, "Yeah, so am I. I just can't believe that happened…but there isn't much we can do." Yugi patted his best friend's back, "Everything will be okay, I promise Joey." The blonde sighed again. "We're still going to announce the baby officially." Seto explained to the tri-hair colored boy. "That'll be good, it'll give the public a sense of trust and they'll want to help protect the baby." Yugi said to the CEO. "How do you know that?" Seto asked. "I don't know, I guess that's just how I see it." Joey smiled at his young friend.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE WHEELER!" Principal Kurugi yelled while grabbing the blonde by the collar and throwing him against the wall. Joey whimpered and squirmed nervously under the man's grasp. "I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU HERE AGAIN!"
"Let me go you…." A sharp pain interrupted Joey in his stomach and Bakura tackled the brute of a human. "Puppy." Seto said while falling to the blonde's aid. The amber-eyed teen was in some pain. "Seto…I have…to…"
"Oh god, don't miscarry."
"Seto…I …need a doctor, something isn't right." Joey spoke between hard, ragged breaths while clutching his stomach. The young CEO scooped the blonde up and ran back to his car.
"Well, it seems it's nothing more than Braxton Hicks contractions." Dr. White said while finishing her examination on the blonde's stomach. "Why did they come about? Isn't he only supposed to have those when he goes into labor?" Seto asked. "Well, not exactly, a lot of woman experience these during the whole of their pregnancy, the contractions just increase towards the baby's due date." She explained. "So…is the baby going to be okay?" Joey asked, sounding a little guilty for what had happened to his baby. "Your baby is nice and healthy. The contractions were probably brought on by the stress you were under and the principal situation just pushed you over the limit." She explained.
"Now, I want you both to take tomorrow off and recover from this incident. You both need to be strong if you're still going to announce the baby Friday." The couple nodded their heads. "Speaking of which, I heard that someone from this office tipped the pregnancy to the show, do you know who?" Seto asked sternly. Dr. White sighed, "I might, my boss has been so interested in this pregnancy that he wants to run tests on Joey but I told him it wasn't about the science, it's about keeping Joey and the baby healthy. I didn't know he would take it this far." Seto grunted in disapproval. "I take it you'll be taking Joey elsewhere."
"No, you're the only one we can trust with our baby." Seto spoke sincerely. "Well, I'll do my best to keep as much of your records confidential as I can." The doctor promised. The young CEO nodded. "Well you both are free to go. It's good that you brought Joey in. I'll be sure to call your school and tell them you'll be out tomorrow."
"Thank you so much." Joey thanked. "No problem, it's my job. See ya boys and take care."
"You too." Seto and Joey spoke in unison.
Author's Note: Well if you hated the principal before I'm sure you wish he were rotting in purgatory just about now. Anyway, thanks for reading and don't forget to review!
