Koki: ok that's it on the responses. I love how the list is getting longer! You will find out whether she is pregnant or not in this chapter. Hopefully you have figured out what the pairing will be. I believe I said what it was in a previous chapter but I can't remember. Anyway Malik is the good guy Marik isn't...as usual. I would also like to thank my buddy for giving me the name of the doctor that was a big help-
Marik: hey I can change!
Koki: right...be happy you're not always the bad guy in my fics!

"So what's going to happen now?" Malik asked.
Isis shrugged. "At this point I'm not sure. I need to go back to the museum where all my research is at. Malik I'll need you to come with me so it can get done faster." She said.
"Ok." He agreed.
"What do I do?" Kaiba asked. He carefully shifted his position on the couch so not to wake Anzu who had cried herself to sleep and was presently sleeping beside him on the couch, her head propped on his lap.
"You need to stay here with her and watch her so that nothing happens to her. She also has to go to the doctor soon for a check-up." Isis continued.
"That's already been scheduled." Kaiba said.
Isis frowned in confusion. "When?" she asked.
"While you and him were in the kitchen I called my doctor and made the appointment. I have to take her to my house since he lives in a smaller house beside mine. He's been with my family since before I can remember so I trust him." Kaiba said.
Isis nodded. "All right. When is she to see him?" She asked.
Kaiba looked at his watch. "In about an hour." He replied.
"That's a very short notice." She said.
"Well he's on call with family." He said.
Isis nodded once more then bid him farewell and left with Malik. A few minutes after their departure, Anzu began to stir. He kept still waiting for her to wake up. She turned over on her back and stretched, wanting to get more comfortably to go back to sleep.
"Have a nice nap?" came a male voice.
Alarm rang through her mind as her eyes snapped open to find Kaiba looking down at her. Realizing where she was, she shot into an upright position, a dull red staining her cheeks. Looking around she realized Malik and Isis were no longer there.
"Where is Isis and Malik?" She asked.
"They went back to her museum to do some research so it's just the two of us now." He answered.
Anzu nodded.
"I also need to take you to my house." He continued.
Her eyes widened slightly. "Wh-what for?" She stuttered.
"So my doctor can take a look at you." He replied.
"He lives with you?" She asked.
"In a smaller house several yards from mine." He answered.
"When am I supposed to go?" She asked.
"We need to leave soon." He answered.
She nodded again.
"I need to take a shower and all first." She said as she stood shakily from the couch.
"Do you need any help? Getting up the stairs I mean." He asked, correcting himself at the look on her face.
"No I'll be fine thank you." She replied.
He nodded and watched her carefully walk upstairs.
Anzu let her mind wander as hot water shot down from the shower head. 'What if I am pregnant? What am I gonna do?' She looked down at her stomach as she rubbed over it with her hand. 'I want to keep it but…I don't know if I'll be able to, I can barely take care of myself as it is.' She thought bitterly. She hurriedly began scrubbing her body before she fell into the corner of the tub and cried. Once she was finished, she shut off the water and got out, wrapping a towel around her body. She exited the bathroom into her room to dry off and get dressed. She finally cam downstairs clad in a baggy T-shirt and what looked to be guy shorts.
"Are you ready?" Kaiba asked.
"Yes I just need to get my shoes on." She replied, walking past him to the front door.
He stood idly by the door, waiting patiently for her to move.
'He's being awfully patient for someone who doesn't really have any.' She thought.
They walked down the drive to the waiting car, never saying a word to each other. They continued their silence during the drive to the mansion.
"Where is Mokuba?" She asked.
"He should be in the house right now, why?" Kaiba asked.
"I don't want him to know about any of this. If I'm pregnant he can know that but nothing else." She said.
"Don't worry. The only people who will know will be me, Isis and Malik." He assured her.
She nodded stiffly then let out a short startled gasp when he took her hand and began to pull her along behind him. They walked for about fifteen minutes before they reached another house. Knocking once on the door, Kaiba stood back and waited for it to open. There were a few crashes from inside that were followed by a few curses before the door opened. The man's appearance startled Anzu at first. He had glasses on with a single microscope lens over one eye to better his vision. She calmed, telling herself that he was just another victim to the ever-growing field of science.
"Ahh Seto my boy, how are you?" The doctor asked.
"I'm fine Dr. Philbert. I've brought you your patient." He said as he pulled Anzu out from behind him.
"What a lovely young woman!" Dr. Philbert exclaimed. "Where have you been keeping this beauty?" He asked, making Anzu blush deep.
"My life isn't the subject here." Kaiba said.
"My God, you have a life? What a surprise!" The doctor exclaimed sarcastically.
Anzu stifled a giggle as Kaiba glared at him, his cheeks turning a light pink.
"Let's just get this over with." He snapped.
"Please forgive him, he must be sexually frustrated." The doctor said.
Kaiba's eyes widened briefly in short surprise that he even said that but he got over his shock quickly and chucked newspapers at him. Anzu was trying not to laugh but a giggle managed to slip past her lips, gaining Kaiba's attention. He slightly glared at her.
"I'll be over at the house." He said suddenly and left.
"Is he all right? Was it something I did?" Anzu asked.
"No don't fret my dear. I just embarrassed him is all. I have known him since he was a young boy, he's like the son I never had." The doctor explained.
"Oh." She nodded.
"So what are you in here for?" The doctor asked.
"I think I may be pregnant." She whispered
The doctor's eyes widened.
"It's not his. I was raped…several times by the same guy. It's a really complicated situation and I really don't want to talk about it. I just need to know if I'm pregnant or not." She gushed.
The doctor nodded understandingly.
"I won't ask any questions. It's your decision whether you want to tell me or not but do know that if you tell me anything, it will not leave this room." He told her.
She nodded in agreement.
"Ok now, let's get you set up."
After he instructed her to sit in the examination chair, he began gathering everything he needed. In about fifteen minutes he was scanning her stomach, watching the screen.
"Ok let's see what we've got here." He said.
Several minutes passed and it seemed like forever before he said anything.
"Ok." He began as he pulled the screen closer to her so she could see. "Do you see this?" He asked.
"Yes…what is it?" She asked, in a slight alarm thinking something was wrong.
"That would be your baby my dear." He said.
She blinked rapidly a few times when sudden tears came forth.
"So I am?" She asked.
He nodded. She sighed heavily.
"You're taking this very well for your age. Most girls would be in tears right now." He told her.
"I suppose I should be. It's not like I don't want one but not this soon you know. I don't know how I'm going to do this." She said.
"I don't think you'll be alone in this." He said.
"My friends don't even know what's going on. Only Seto and two other people know." She said.
"If they're your friends then they deserve to know." He said.
Anzu nodded. "Thank you. What do I owe you?" She asked, reaching for her purse.
He put his hand over hers, shaking his head. "You don't owe me anything. All I ask, and it may seem like much, is that you help him. I've never seen him do anything for anyone outside the family. You must've somehow wedged your way into his heart without realizing it and I'm sure you've noticed that he doesn't let many people get so close to him." The doctor told her.
"I can't make promises." She said.
"I know, I just ask that you at least try." He said.
Anzu nodded. "I'll try."
Then the door suddenly swung open and Mokuba came jumping in.
"Hey! (brief pause) what's going on? Are you all right Anzu?" He asked.
"I'm fine." She replied.
He looked at the sonogram machine then to Anzu then to Dr. Philbert then back to the machine then Anzu.
"Are you pregnant?" He asked.
Anzu nodded stiffly.
"How?" He gasped.
He was surprised. He never thought she would do this.
"Whose is it?" he asked before Anzu could say anything.
"I haven't told him yet so I don't want to tell anybody else yet. You can't tell my friends ok, I want to tell them." She said.
Mokuba nodded then he hugged her.
"Don't worry Anzu it'll be all right." He told her.
"I know sweetie…I know." She replied as she returned his hug.
They walked back to the house, happily chatting; Anzu's predicament momentarily forgotten. When they walked into the house, Mokuba ran into the kitchen to get something to eat. At the same times Kaiba confronted Anzu in the hall. Unbeknownst to them, Mokuba was watching from the door, ready to spring to Anzu's defense if his brother said anything.
"Well?" He asked.
"I am." She replied quietly.
Then her face crumpled as she burst into tears. He pulled her into his arms, trying to comfort her as he ran a soothing hand over her back. This action completely surprised Mokuba. He was wondering if they were together and for now long when another thought hit him. 'Is it Seto's?' He thought. Wanting to leave them alone for a few minutes, he crept back into the kitchen. He could always bound in on them later.
Anzu pulled back and wiped her face.
"I'm sorry you're burdened with this." She said.
"It's all right. Your welfare is a little more important than our project or anything." He said.
Anzu sighed as she nodded, taking the tissue when he offered it.
"I don't know what I'm going to do." She began.
"I have an idea but it's your decision if it's what you want." He began.
"What?" She asked.
"Since there's nobody at your house and you're really not safe there anyway, I'm willing to allow to stay here until all of this blows over." He said.
