Author's Note: I see you all enjoyed getting to meet the baby! Isn't he just adorable? I just wish that there could be a steady flow of time to go along with it! Sad really…Mollano is just beginning to get on my nerves! Anyway, I am glad you all liked the last chapter and I hope you all enjoy this one as well! Thanks so much!
daughterofanubis: Yep! The baby finally came! Isn't he cute? I thought they needed a little boy. Hmmm…Mollano…what about Mollano…sorry I can't give u that information at this time, but what I can tell u is that he is still around, Seto and Joey haven't evaded him that easily. Hopefully this chapter will help your want for more! Oh and I'll come break you out of the happy hospital! Thanks so much for reading and I shall see you next chapter!
Puffin: Yeah, the baby is really cute! I am really glad you liked how the last chapter came out, I hope you like this new one as well. I can't wait for your next chapter but don't rush, take as much time as you need! Thanks so much for reading and I shall see you next chapter!
Miru Amai: Yeah, I thought the trilogy idea was a great one and I am glad that you are also up for it. Also, because of site rules I won't be able to post my 'Meteora' story here so I don't think I'll ever get it done…sadly…a great idea wasted because of stupid rules. I can't believe we can't post song fics anymore! That means I can't post my Inuyasha story or my Kingdom Hearts story! You're very welcome! I have read so many stories where Joey and Seto have twins or a daughter so I decided to change it up a bit and give them ONE baby BOY. Besides, I like the idea of Seto having a male heir other than his brother. Yeah, poor Seto, all he wanted to do was hold his newborn but everybody was hogging the infant. Well, thank you so much for reading and I shall see you next chapter!
ruby-sama aura-chan the neko-jin: I hope you like this new chapter and I'll see ya next chapter! Thanks so much for reading!
RyuSenshi-DragonHawk: YEP! The name you voted for won! It had the most votes and it was the most creative of the whole group of names I had. I know, I wish Joey and Seto could just live happily ever after with their family…but then there would be no story…I know…stupid Mollano! I wish someone would just give him his lunch and be done with it!
dragonmaster1703: I am glad you liked this last chapter! How do I know so much about having babies? Well, I assure you I don't have one. But, before I started writing this part of the Run Away Puppy series I did some research on all three trimesters of pregnancy and made sure I had information about what happened during those trimesters. There is also this show on TLC called "Maternity Ward" and I watch that sometimes. I really enjoy watching shows about babies; they're just so cute! That's how I know so much. Why do you ask? You planning on writing your own Mpreg story? If you ever need information I can send everything I have to you! Just let me know. You were a premature baby hu? Well I too am happy you are alive and well, no baby ever deserves to die and I wish you a long and healthy life. Thanks so much for reading and I shall see you next chapter!
mandapandabug: I see you loved the last chapter! I feel accomplished! Well you could have a picture of the baby if I had a scanner. I drew a picture of Joey and Seto together with their baby; it came out so cute! Don't worry Ryou and Bakura will become more involved with the baby! And I would also consider them Uncles to the baby. Seto is just a little unsure to have Bakura around his son. You will know the hardships quite soon but Seto and Joey have some things to do before Mollano come and wreck their family again. Well, here is another chapter for your hunger! Hopefully it'll tide you over! Thanks so much for reading and I shall see you next chapter!

Youko: Of course they had a little boy! I myself love boys and I hope I have one when I'm older. They killed the baby off! What story was that? I would like to read it if you remember what it was called. Kill Jouneth? Me? Never, you have my word. Joey and Seto have worked to hard to have this baby and I am not about to let it all go to waste. Just don't tell anyone else, I want it to be a surprise. Glad you liked last chapter, hopefully you'll like this one! Thanks so much for reading and I shall see you next chapter!

subaruxkamui4ever: It was so full of cuteness it made you squeal hu? lol, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, the heartbeat did drop but I didn't have the heart to do much else to the baby.

Run Away Puppy 2: Mollano's RevengeChapter Twelve: The Boys Are Back In Town
One Week Later…
Seto POVI have never been so exhausted before in my life. This whole baby thing is wonderful but man it is so demanding. I am trying hard to pay attention to my lesson but…I can't. I'm so tired and I worry about the puppy being home by himself, he just had surgery and now he has to take care of a newborn baby. I wish I could have stayed home with him…This is starting to become really impossible now, my eyelids are heavy and I can't help but lay my head down on my desk. I cross my arms and lay my head on them and close my eyes. I have never fallen asleep in class before but can you blame me? The puppy and me were up late last night with Jouneth, feeding, changing, and comforting him. I never expected parenthood to be so………………………
End Seto POV"Uh… Mrs. Maenpaa, Kaiba fell asleep." A student tattled on the tired brunette. She sighed but really couldn't be too upset with him. "Just leave him be class, he has a new baby and we all know what that means…late nights with a screaming newborn." So, she continued her lesson and gave the class the necessary paper work before waking the brunette.
"Mr. Kaiba." She spoke while she shook the boy. Quickly his head shot up, "I'm awake!" The class turned to and giggled at him. Rubbing his eyes and yawning the boy apologized to his teacher. "Don't be silly Mr. Kaiba, you need to go home and get some rest and help Joey take care of that baby. Do you have anyone who could take you home?" Seto stopped and lazily thought about what the teacher had asked him.
"Thanks Taylor." Seto thanked as he climbed into the teen's car. "No problem bud, Joey is family to us and now since you're his family that immediately makes you one of us." Tristan explained. Seto really didn't have the energy to say anything back.
"So, how has the little…" Tristan was cut short when he realized that Seto was already fast asleep. "Running you ragged hu?" Finally pulling into the CEO's driveway Tristan woke the other teen and followed him into the house.
Joey was happily planted on the floor with Jouneth. He had spread the Baby Red-Eyes Black Dragon blanket out on the floor and had the baby lying on his back on it. "What are you doing Jouneth?" Joey asked happily while watching the baby wiggle his little body and gurgle back to his Mommy. The blonde smiled then leaned down to kiss his baby's forehead. "Hi puppy." Seto watched as a head full of blonde hair quickly turned his way. "Hey Seto…what are you doing home? I told you should've taken two weeks off with me." Joey picked himself off the floor and greeted his lover with a kiss. Seto happily leaned into the kiss.
"Hey Joey, Mr. CEO fell asleep in class this morning so I thought I would bring him home to get some rest." Tristan said. Joey kissed Seto's cheek then thanked his friend. "Why don't you go upstairs and get some rest." The blonde said while touching the brunette's face lightly. "I'll go if you go with me." Joey giggled, "That's not sleeping you pervert. Besides, I'm taking care of the baby." Seto smiled then kissed his lover before ascending the stairs to their bedroom.
"Thanks for bringing him home Tristan, I told him he needed to stay with me so that we could learn the baby's routine together." Joey said while sitting himself back down on his previous spot. Jouneth still happily wiggled about but stopped suddenly when Tristan tried to talk to him. "Hey little guy, are you being good for your Mommy and Daddy?" Jouneth looked up to the person who currently was talking to him. The baby let his big blue eyes search Tristan and soon Joey noticed the baby was unsure of the teen and began to cry. Tristan sat back and watched as the blonde carefully took up the child into his arms and comforted him.
"Shhhh, don't cry you silly little thing, Uncle Tristan was just trying to talk to you. Awe, baby it's okay. Here, you want your pacifier?" Joey asked while putting the object to the baby's lips and waiting for him to accept it, which he did. "There, is that better?" Jouneth gazed at his mother's face as he relentlessly suckled on his Dark Magician pacifier. Joey smiled then once again laid his baby on the blanket so that he could look about and take in his surroundings.
"Sorry about that." Tristan apologized. "For what?" The blonde asked while quirking an eyebrow. "For making the baby cry."
"Oh, don't worry about that kind of stuff. The baby is just unsure of you and the gang, he even gets unsure of Mokuba still." The amber-eyed teen said while rubbing his son's tummy, an act that relaxed the baby and urged him into a little nap. Tristan watched on as the baby's movements began to slow and his eyelids slowly slid shut. "There, he should stay that way for 45 minutes at the most." Joey said while looking back up to his friend. "You wanna hold him?"
"Me? Nah, you just got him to sleep. I don't want him to wake up, see me then start screaming."
"Don't be silly, once he's asleep, he's asleep. Trust me, I should know my son." The blonde explained while carefully picking up the baby and waiting for Tristan to get comfortable on the couch. "Are you sure Joey?" The brunette asked while the infant was cradled in his arms. "Tris, if I wasn't sure of you I wouldn't let you near him, but I've known you since kindergarten, you're an okay guy." The baby made a small mewl before quieting and lying comfortably in his mother's friend's arms.
"He's wonderful Joey." Tristan complimented while looking his blonde friend in the eyes. "Thanks but make sure you say the same to Seto, he was part of Jouneth's creation." The brunette looked down at the baby again and smiled warmly, he was happy for Joey. It had been along time since the blonde had been truly happy and now he had everything he ever wanted. He had Seto Kaiba's undying love and had even started their own family. As long as the Joey was happy Tristan was happy. Jouneth gave a tiny sneeze then cuddled closer to the warmth of the teen's body still suckling his pacifier.
"Duel Monsters Joey?" Tristan asked while referring to the infant's pacifier and his Baby Blue-Eyes outfit. The blonde smiled, "What can you do when you've given birth to a baby that belongs to the most feared duelist in the game?" Tristan's eyes went wide, "You mean this is actually Yami's baby?" Joey mentally sweat dropped and smiled crookedly, "No, Yami is the king of games, Seto is the most feared duelist of duel monsters, besides you should see Jouneth's room."
"I can only imagine."
Friday May 12, 2006
10: 37 am
"Are you ready to go see the doctor?" Joey asked the infant while unhooking the car seat from the lock base. Jouneth just watched his mother and gurgled in response. Seto came around to the passenger door to the backseat and opened it. The blonde slid out of the Yukon first then the brunette reached into the backseat and brought the car seat out of the vehicle then handed his puppy the diaper bag. "Okay little guy, let's go get you your shots." Seto spoke in a soft tone. Joey cringed at the thought then his mind wondered back to the day he and Seto went to the first ultrasound. That poor infant, it sounded as if it were being killed.
"Good Morning Gentlemen, can I help you?" An older lady at the sign in desk, asked with a bright smile. "Yeah, we have an appointment for Jouneth Kaiba at 11:00 with Dr. White." Seto answered. The lady looked at said doctor's chart and smiled. "Okay she should be with you shortly." Joey smiled and thanked her. The couple sat down in a pair of chairs and Seto placed the car seat full of a baby boy down at his feet. Jouneth spit out his pacifier to gurgle at his father while gazing at him. Seto unbuckled the belts that secured the infant into his seat and gently cradled him in his arms. "Hi there little one. Want your binky back?" Seto asked while placing the pacifier at his son's lips. Jouneth willingly took the object.
"Binky, Seto?" Joey asked while eyeing his boyfriend with a bright smile. "Yeah, Mokuba used to call his pacifiers binkies." Joey smiled then placed a chaste kiss on the young CEO's lips, "You are too cute sometimes Seto." Jouneth however became aware of the attention his father was getting and wanted some for himself, he whined loudly.
"What, you want some love too?" The blue-eyed teen asked before kissing his son's forehead.
"Jouneth Kaiba?" A nurse announced. Seto handed the blonde the baby and followed his lover into one of the rooms while carrying the car seat. "Dr. White should be right with you, she's just finishing up with another patient."
"Okay, thanks." Seto thanked. The nurse smiled at the newborn before leaving the room. Joey sat down in one of the chairs up against the wall and cuddled his baby closer while Seto seated himself next to his lover and child. Jouneth loved getting all the attention he could from his parents and his parents equally loved giving their baby attention. Seto leant down and placed a light kiss on the infant's forehead.
"Well, hello." A familiar voice said happily while entering the room. Joey and Seto looked up and greeted the doctor just as gleefully. She put down her tools and a clipboard with a folder. Before getting to business she had to say 'hi' to the baby she helped deliver. Carefully, Joey allowed her to take up Jouneth and cradle him. "Hi there little guy. How are you doing?" The minute Dr. white had taken the baby he began to whimper softly and then began to cry, scared of this new person. "Oh, okay, you want Mommy." She said while handing the baby back to his mother. Joey just giggled and shook his head, "You silly little Kaiba, she was just saying hi."
"Okay, today we'll be doing a routine check up on baby so, if you could place Jouneth up here on the examining table and undress him down to his diaper we'll get this show on the road." Dr. White explained. Joey obliged and began to do as the doctor had asked. Seto took the baby's clothes and held them while the doctor took the infant's weight and measured his body from head to toe. She jotted some stuff down on the papers within the folder then turned her attention back to the patient and his parents. "Okay, most little one's don't like my stethoscope so brace yourself for some crying." She warned Joey and Seto while placing the earpieces within her ears and placing the scope on the baby's chest. Just like she had said, Jouneth began to cry again. He didn't like the situation he was in and it was only going to get worse as Dr. White proceeded to take the infant's blood pressure. The blonde felt awful, he could hardly stand to hear his son cry over a dirty diaper but this time he had to let the doctor do her job to make sure the boy was healthy.
"I know honey, you don't like it all, but me, mommy, and daddy want to make sure you're not sick." The doctor soothed. Finally she pulled the blood pressure tool off the infant and watched as Seto took up his son. "You're okay Jou, you're okay. Daddy's going to make it all better." The brunette tried to appease to his infant while rubbing his back. The baby had finally cried so hard that he spit up all over Seto's shoulder.
"I am so sorry." Dr. White apologized to the young CEO while wiping up the infant's mess. "Don't worry about it, you're just doing your job." He assured her while letting the blonde take the baby. "Well, I am going to be right back, and we'll try to get this whole visit over for the sake of Mr. Kaiba's shirt." Joey just giggled and Seto smiled. The next time the doctor entered the room she had to give the Kaiba baby his necessary injections and Joey had to try not to let himself cry due to his infant's screams of discomfort.
"I am so sorry little guy." Dr. White said to the baby while bandaging his shots. Though the appointment had been concluded the couple would not leave the room unless they found a way to calm their screaming baby. Joey changed the infant's diaper, clothed him, and then tried giving him his pacifier. None had calmed the baby. Seto, finally growing restless from his child's cry dug into the diaper bag, retrieved a bottle of water and the Toon Summoned Skull bottle, which already had the right amount of formula powder in it, and began to make his son a bottle. Finally he handed the container to Joey and watched as Jouneth greedily took the bottle.
"Well then, if that isn't good parenting then I don't know what is." Seto said obviously very proud of himself. The puppy just beamed at his lover then began to make his way out to the vehicle; they had one more stop to make.
"So the baby has been born by now right?" Mollano asked his partner in crime over the phone. "Yep, it's been a lil' more than nine months so the baby should be around now. Any luck yet James?"
"Nope, no sign of the teens yet." The former mob boss said while staking out Domino High School. He had been there all week and had seen nothing of Seto or Joey. I guess he had expected to follow the limo out to their new home. The plan now was to nab Mokuba and the baby one night, then leave an address of where to find them. Then Mollano would murder the baby before its parents, Mokuba would be next, and then the two troublesome teens would be last.
If Mollano had known that the young CEO knew how to drive he would have noticed the black Yukon pull into the student parking lot and would have seen the two teens with the car seat make their way into the door near the parking lot.
"Do you really think Ms. Gray will really appreciate us making a scene during class time?" Seto asked a little concerned. "Seto, this is Ms. Gray we are talking about, she is the L.I.F.E teacher, of course she won't mind."
"If you say so puppy."
The two teens stopped before her door and listened as she taught her class. They were trying to be as quiet as possible but the baby gurgled and she turned her head to the doorway. A bright smile grew across her face and she invited the family in. Timidly they stepped into the room, with ever-watchful eyes upon them. Seto took the liberty of setting the car seat on her desk then lifting up the Winnie The Pooh quilt to reveal his newborn son, moving and wide awake.
"Oh my goodness, look at this little guy." Ms. Gray said while hovering over the car seat. Joey unbuckled his son then lifted him up out of the seat. "This is our son Jouneth." The blonde introduced to his teacher. "Well hi Jouneth. You sure are a cute little guy."
"Ooo! Can we see the baby Ms. Gray?" A student asked hopefully. She turned to face her class, "That's the parent's call." The class gazed at the couple and Joey happily nodded his head. Soon a horde of girls surrounded the teens and their baby cooing things like, 'Oh he is so cute!', 'He looks so much like Seto', 'He looks like Joey', and 'Can I hold him?'
Jouneth did like attention but when he got more than he wanted he was uncomfortable and to tell his parents he began to cry. Seto simply asked the class to back off and take their seats again while Joey fed Jouneth his pacifier. The couple stayed for a while and chatted but the puppy only had his c-section a week ago he was still fairly weak and he was beginning to get drowsy so they decided to leave and head home.
"Well, if you boys ever need me, here is my home address and cell phone number," Ms. Gray offered while handing the teens a sheet of paper. They took it and thanked her. Hopefully they would be okay and wouldn't need her help but if ever they needed some help, she would surely be that person.
Author's Note: So what did you think? Mollano is scheming again this can't be good. Well I hope you all liked this chapter and stay tuned for the next. Thank you all for reading and don't forget to review!
