That is really nice. I try to update as much as I can, it's only right. The Inferno was about Dante's journey through all nine circles of Hell with the help of a guide named Virgil. The last circle, where Satan is placed, is in fact a lake of ice. It actually wasn't too bad I enjoyed reading it and my project is pretty cool too, of course I used Yu-Gi-Oh characters, Yami Bakura is Satan…is just fits him. All stalker-like? Don't feel like that you're just giving me feedback is all. I appreciate it. Glad to have ya back and I hope you enjoy this chapter! Thanks so much for reading and I'll see ya next chapter!

RyuSenshi-DragonHawk: I aced it too! But I had the choice of taking a baby or not…and I didn't. Exhaustion is going to be big in the Kaiba household. Yeah, I wish Mollano were that stupid…don't we all? Thanks so much for reading and I shall see ya next chapter!
dragonmaster1703: Glad to know you are enjoying the story. It is kinda funny how much of a chore a toy can be; real babies however are more work that's for sure (I baby-sit, a lot). Well thanks so much for reading and I shall see you next chapter!
mandapandabug: Our school doesn't give out baby's in health but we get them in L.I.F.E. It was even optional if you wanted to take a baby or not and I for one did not want to do that. I baby-sit enough to know what raising a child is like. It is hard work. Always on the move and on your feet. You guys use flour packs? My school, even though it's poor, has the plastic babies with the computer in the back to tell the teacher what kind of parent you are. They opened their packs? That's funny…lets just all hope they won't be parents in the near future anyway. Of course the real baby wont be like the pretend baby! We'll see if Seto breaks down and wants to give it to the teacher after four days. I am glad you liked the last chapter and I hope you like this chapter and aren't disappointed. Anyway, I hope you like this new chapter and I'll see ya next chapter! Thanks so much for reading!
Sakurako-Sohma: You turned your baby into cookies? LOL! Now that is something you would see on Blue Collar TV! That is awesome! We had the choice to take a baby in my class and I didn't take one! I baby-sit way too much to have my own kid. I basically raised my own kid with baby-sitting everybody else's children, don't get me wrong I love kids but damn people, and watch your own kids! Sorry, I didn't mean that I love to help out and watching kids is my specialty! I would totally baby-sit for Joey and Seto! Anyway, thanks so much for reading and I shall see you next chapter!
Nariko Sasame: Here is another chapter for ya! I hope you enjoy it and thanks so much for reading! I'll see ya next chapter!
Youko: I am glad to hear you enjoyed last chapter hopefully you enjoy this new one. Thanks so much for reading and I'll see ya next chapter!
Muchacha: Yeah, you'll have to read the first one; it'll guide you into the Mpreg and explain how everything happens and why they're being pursued. Yeah he's a little nuts but that's what makes him an exciting person to write about. Drama indeed, I like drama. Seto and Jou are very adorable together that is why they are my top favorite above all! SetoxJou forever! I am glad you are enjoying yourself thus far and hopefully you enjoy the first part as well! Thanks so much for reading and I'll see ya next chapter!jou-kaiba-mokie: First off I want to welcome you to the gang! No sweat about not reviewing. Basically Mollano got in trouble for killing the wrong people with Birdo and now Birdo wants to kill Jou and Seto and take the company and he'll let Mollano kill their baby since they killed Nick, Mollano's son, in the first story. That's the gist of it anyway. Hopefully that helps you out a bit. Thanks so much for reading and I'll see ya next chapter!
FireieGurl: I am glad to know that you like this story so far, just wait; more cuteness is coming, especially in this chapter! The wait is over; Joey has his baby in this chapter!

mystictreasures: I hope you had a good vacation and welcome back! Yeah, I've been a bit busy but that is what this is about, making my readers happy and writing what's in my mind, it works for me.

Of course, the baby will inherit its family's fame and fortune, and it will in fact inherit those cute little features! The names are beautiful and thank you so much for sharing them with me! I really appreciate your input in all of this. I hope you won't be too disappointed in my choices. Thank you so much for reading and I shall see ya next chapter!
subaruxkamui4ever: You got that right, Mpregs are hard to find and they're one of my favorite genres. I am glad I could entertain your interests! And the wait is over; the baby is born this chapter! Boy or girl? I won't tell! Thanks so much for reading and I shall see you next chapter!
invisible girl: I don't know if I could stand a plastic baby going off at ungodly hours of the night. If you can handle that more power to ya! Thanks so much for reading and I'll see ya next chapter!
Ryuichi's lover: Chuckie E. Cheese is the worst! Here is a funny factoid, my Nina (aunt) used to work as the rat for her job while she was in high school. Sorry you have to go there so much, I try to avoid going there at all costs but, I have to go one more time to get the Dark Magician magnet, I got Yugi and all I need is him now. I used to love that place but I would rather watch the paint dry now. It was kinda a downer my 17th b-day was there but I was with family and I got some great gifts! I got a Yu-Gi-Oh poster and the first season on DVD, oh and Troy…Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt are so hot! You're going to Disney World for Christmas?

Chapter Eleven: The Kaiba Baby Is Finally Born
2 AND A HALF MONTHS LATER…
Joey POV
Okay, today is April 29, 2006 and I am four days past my due date and sitting anxiously and nervously on the living room couch just waiting to go into labor. Seto is at work and I am on maternity leave, Dr. White saw to that. I can't complain though, being on my feet all day is hard work. Though I am not alone, Mokuba and Yugi are here with me. Tristan called and said he would be on his way after his shift at work ended. My friends are so much in awe right now; I guess it's just now hitting them that this is real. All this waiting is too much for me, I wonder if I could just go get my labor induced. Nah, Seto already said that I should wait for my labor to come. Ever since this morning I have had this weird feeling in my stomach. I don't know what it is; it's not hurting me though so it couldn't be contractions. Hmmm…I don't know, maybe I'm just hungry. An apple sounds really good right now.
End Joey POV
As the blonde picked himself up off the couch he was simply stopped by the ever-watchful eyes of Yugi and Mokuba. They ordered him to sit back down and rest. "What do you want?" Mokuba asked. "Well, I was hungry for an apple but now it's gone." The puppy said while sitting back down. 'Hmm, that was funny I had never had a craving come and go so quickly before. Maybe I'm just board that Seto's not home.' Just as Joey made himself comfortable again he yelped in utter surprise causing Yugi and Mokuba to swarm about him. "Is it time? Should I call Seto?" Joey simply shook his head, "No, no. The baby is just kicking my insides around." The blonde removed his hands and revealed the kicks of the baby. "Whoa, you can actually see the baby kicking." Mokuba said as he put a hand on Joey's stomach, Yugi joined the boy. "This is really cool." The amber-eyed teen smiled, Seto had reacted the same way the first time he witnessed the movements of his child. The baby finally settled down and the boys pulled their hands away. Hunter had wondered what his owners were doing so he jumped up onto the couch and began to sniff at Joey's stomach. Mokuba giggled.
"This is a baby Hunter, you two will be the best of friends, you'll both grow up together." Joey said while stroking his tummy and looking at the golden retriever. The puppy wagged his tail and gave his owner a smile.

Joey POV
God this…really…hurts. Breathe…breathe Joey…just breath! Dear Ra, how do women do this? There is so much…pressure on my back and lower body. This is…killing me. Maybe I could just have the baby right here and be done with it. What am I thinking? I need a hospital and I need to…push. Why does this have to be so freakin' painful? I know I should wake Seto, but…I can't move. How I even got out…of bed surprises me. I feel like my insides are falling out, it…really, really, really hurts. Oh god, I feel like…I never want to do this again! Seto, I need you!
End Joey POV
The golden retriever puppy lifted his head off the mattress as he heard Joey's whimper from the bathroom. He jumped off the bed and went over to said blonde and sensed something that needed to be taken care of. Hunter sniffed again at the blonde's tummy and was met with a gentle kick to the nose. He went back over to the bed and started licking at Seto's face. In turn that just caused the brunette to push the dog away and sleep on. The dog tried growling next but that did nothing. He sat down apprehensively at Seto's back and whined and pawed at the blanket the young CEO had a death grip on. He tried liking at Seto's ear when Joey let out another lengthy whimper. "Hunter…stop." The blue-eyed teen said while pulling the blanket over his head. This puppy was determined to get his owner up and did what came naturally in a state of urgency…
BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK, BARK
"Hunter what!" The brunette said annoyed as he sat up from bed. "Seto…" Came Joey's soft voice as he stumbled to his feet and faltered out of the bathroom and leaned against the mercy of the doorframe clutching the underside of his pregnant tummy. Seto felt his heart begin to race and his mouth go dry and amazingly he spoke, "What's wrong puppy?"
"My insides are falling out." Quickly Seto jumped out of bed and began to dress himself in his school uniform (it was the closet thing to him, and right now he's in a rush). Joey clutched at his stomach as another powerful contraction took him over and forced him to his knees again panting for air. "Hunter stay with Joey." The brunette ordered to the puppy as he rushed out of the room in disarray. Labor was one thing he knew next to nothing about, sure he read books, but how much reality do books and magazines really prove to show? None really. Delivering a baby was not on his list of things to do before he died and this was no exception.
"Mokuba, Mokuba." Seto said urgently. The boy rolled over tiredly to face his brother, "What?"
"Come on, get up and put some shoes on."
"Wha…why?"
"Joey's in labor, we have to get him to the hospital."
Mokuba hadn't really seen his brother to begin with but once his eyes adjusted all he saw a blue blur scuttle out his doorway. Taking his leisurely time, the boy stretched, yawned, and then slipped some tennis shoes on. It was only until he heard Joey cry in pain that it registered to the raven-haired boy, his niece or nephew was on the way and the blonde was in dire need of his doctor's care. Better hurry! Mokuba sped it along and met his brother and Joey at the bottom of the staircase. The blonde teen was a mess. Breathing unsteadily, tears streaming down his face, his body even trembled a bit. This unnerved the boy for a moment and quickly followed behind his brother as they pilled into the back Yukon.
Once they were on the road Seto handed his brother his cell phone, "Call Dr. White and tell her that Joey is in labor, then do the same with Yugi and Tristan." The brunette ordered softly. Mokuba nodded and did as asked of him.
"Seto…." Joey breathed heavily. "Yeah, pup?"
"Remind me to… never get… pregnant again."
12:05am
May 1, 2006
Dr. White and their friends greeted the couple as Joey and Seto came rushing through the emergency doors with Mokuba close behind. Quickly they took Joey up to labor and delivery and the gang was left behind in the dust, until Mokuba showed up again. "How is he?" Tristan asked worriedly. "He's fine, they just got him into a room right now and have invited us up to stay in the labor and delivery waiting room."
"What are they doing to him right now?" Yugi asked while clinging to Yami's hand. "Well, right now the doctor's want him to push the baby downward so that it's head will be engaged in the right spot when they do his Cesarean section." Tristan hadn't noticed the bear grip he had on Tea's hand but she noticed for him. "Calm down, Tris, you gotta be strong and try not break my hand." The brunette blushed and pulled away quickly, "Uh…sorry, Tea, my bad." The girl just smiled.
"Alright, good job Joey. You're doing great." Dr. White said as the blonde rested back against his bed. His face was covered in a fine sheen of sweat, his cheeks were flushed, and his breathing coming in short rapid rhythms. "I know you were told you wouldn't have to do this but the your baby's head isn't quite engaged in the precise spot, so I need you to push." Seto felt all the color in his face drain away as he remembered all the shows about delivery he had watched with the puppy. That whole charade was something he was hoping to skip but now… maybe the baby was doing it just to torment his father.
Seto's whole train of thought was out the window when his lover screamed in pain as the doctor helped him through his push. The young CEO could swear that he may not have full use, if any, of his hand by the end of this night. Watching his blonde boyfriend suffer so much was difficult for Seto watch. Through every push, the amber-eyed teen struggled to breath and the baby's heartbeat began to decline. Dr. White noticed this and made it a priority to get this baby out quick.
"I need one more big push then we can get you to the OR and get your baby delivered." Joey's doctor spoke. The blonde nodded his head wearily and on the doctor's count of three, while clutching Seto's hand, the blonde pushed one more time and was given the gift of rest.
"I'm proud of you puppy, you're doing a great job." Seto spoke softly before kissing Joey's forehead. The blonde relished in his master's attention and tried to steady his body even though pain rushed through all his limbs and veins.
Joey POV
I've never been so scared in…my…life. I'm getting an actual operation that I'll be awake for. This is all so strange…to me. I am just minutes away from giving birth to my baby. I am so excited and so relived. Seto looks like if he waits any longer he'll die. He is really anxious for the baby's arrival. I think most of it comes from wanting to know what the baby is. The doctor's gave me an epidural about five minutes ago and I feel great, well…I can't feel my lower body but that's okay. The doctors say the baby isn't doing as well as they had hoped, I guess while I was pushing its heartbeat began to drop. I hope the little one is okay, I wasn't meant to have children but here I am… Life won't be the same after this…I hope Seto and I know what we're up against.
End Joey POV
"You okay pup?" Joey looked up to his lover and nodded his head while smiling brightly. "I feel much better than I was about ten minutes ago while pushing." His answer came in a hoarse voice due to all the screaming he had done previously. "You ready for this? This is it; there is no turning back. Our baby will finally be born." Seto spoke softly while stroking his lover's forehead. Feeling unsure of himself at the present moment Joey merely nodded his head, "I'm ready."
Joey POV
Okay, so I'm lying here holding Seto's hand and feeling some odd pressure on my lower stomach. I can't see what my doctors are doing due to the sheet they've hung between my lower half and me. Why did they need these things? Was I not permitted to see my baby right away? I guess now that I'm under the knife I'm scared, I'm scared that they'll take my baby and I won't see it…what if something is wrong? What if something is wrong because of me? Seto would never forgive me; in fact I couldn't forgive myself. Ooo…more pressure. I watch as Seto peaks over the sheet to see what's going on and he turns back to me and says, "You're doing great puppy hang on for just one…" And his voice is cut short when we both hear it…tears are coming fast to my eyes and I can't stop them from falling… The pressure has stopped…
End Joey POV
"Ahh, look what we have here Mommy and Daddy, you have a brand new healthy baby boy." Dr. White said over the first cries of life from the little boy and showing Seto and Joey briefly their son. Then they took him and began to clean him…
1:46 am
"Yugi." Yami said while spotting Seto coming toward them. The boy along with everybody else ran up to Seto and crowded about him, only then did they notice the little figure wrapped in a blue blanket in his arms. Tea began to cry happily. "So, this is it?" Yami asked while touching the infant's face. The blue-eyed teen nodded and watched as his son squirmed in his arms. "What is it and what's it's name nii-sama?" Mokuba asked. The brunette smiled and knelt down to his brother, "You have a nephew named Jouneth Katsuya Seto Kaiba." The raven-haired boy smiled then kissed the baby's forehead. Seto stood up straight, "Come on, I'm sure you guys can come see the puppy for a while before the doctors ask you to leave."
"Puppy." Seto's voice was soft and full of love. The blonde turned his head to the right and smiled at his lover. Carefully, the young CEO placed the tiny figure in his boyfriend's arms and watched as the baby squirmed; turned red faced then began to cry. This had been the first time the baby cried since being born and it unnerved Seto a bit. Joey however, with his newfound 'motherly' instincts, took to comforting his newborn son. The brunette looked on as the puppy rocked the baby gently, "Hush little one you're okay. Mommy's gochya." Though as soothing as the amber-eyed teen was being his attempt was in vain.
"Sounds like someone is a little hungry." Dr. White said as she entered the room carrying a bottle. She handed Joey the bottle and watched as the teen gently fed the infant. She was impressed how careful and caring the blonde was with his son but was grateful she wouldn't have to worry. "Well, you seem to be doing just fine on your own, I'm gonna fill out some paper work then go visit some of my other patients." Seto and Joey smiled at her and thanked her for all her hard work.
"He is so cute." Seto spoke just above a whisper to the blonde while he touched his baby's cheek tenderly. The baby that had been born was a complete mixture of Joey and Seto. He had a thin layer of golden blonde hair already sprouting from his soft head and had big wondrous baby crystalline blue-eyes. Joey felt himself fall in love all over again with the brunette; he couldn't believe this had happened and that they were living in this moment. They were together, along with their son…their son! What was thought to be impossible they had accomplished. Joey could love Seto and give him a family too. They were now complete. It would be the four of them forever… unless Joey suddenly got pregnant again…
The suckling noises Jouneth had been making began to slow and his big, baby blue-eyes started to slide shut, but before the baby could sleep, he needed to be burped. So, Seto took the liberty, using the hospital blanket as a spit up rag, he placed it over his left shoulder then positioned his son over it, then gently began to pat the infant's back. Yugi and the gang looked on excitedly. Bakura snickered, when the baby burped it also spit up. Seto shot a glare to the tomb robber then began to rock his son until Jouneth had fallen asleep. Not long after, the gang was asked to leave and Seto and Joey were set up in a comfortable recovery room, along with their newborn son.
11:18 am
Once visiting hours had begun the whole gang had showed up at the hospital just to get to know the newborn member of the Kaiba family. And with everybody wanting to hold the baby, Seto felt threatened, it was his child why did he have to share? Oh yeah, Yami and Yugi were the godfathers, Tristan was the self-proclaimed uncle, and Tea was just giddy over the whole ordeal. Finally, Joey had talked Tea out of holding the baby for the umpteenth time and rewarded Seto.
"Good morning family." Dr. White greeted as she walked into the room. She was welcomed just as warmly. "I have a present for you Daddy." Seto looked up from his son and watched as his left wrist was bound in a hospital bracelet. "There, now we'll know who you belong to." The young CEO smiled and watched as the doctor caressed Jouneth's cheek. He gurgled and squirmed. Joey locked his gaze with the brunette's and was his lips were snatched in a gentle kiss. They were now eternally bound, through flesh and blood.
