A/N - I miss you Princess.
Yugi took the news well once he woke up from where he landed on the floor after fainting.
"Wow, oh wow!" he kept repeating as he paced the bedroom they shared.
Yami was stretched out on his bed, staring at the ceiling while his aibou continued to mutter.
"Are you sure?" Yugi finally asked, stopping dead in the middle of the room and looking at his yami.
"Yes; I can't explain it but I know."
"So what happens now?"
Yami rolled to his side so that he could look at Yugi before continuing. "The expert doctor from China is arriving tomorrow. She's transferring her work to Domino Hospital and will be my personal doctor throughout the ordeal. I haven't spoken to her personally but Dr. Kurosawa assured me she's excited and can't wait to get here to start checking me over."
"What about Kaiba? He's obviously the father."
"He knows and took it well; he's the first person not to faint upon hearing the news."
"Amazing! But this is Kaiba we're talking about so I shouldn't be surprised." Yugi bit his lip and nervously looked at Yami, wondering if he should ask or not. "So…umm…where will the baby come out?"
"C-Section," Yami replied as if it was the most obviously thing in the world. "I'll know more in three days once I have my first appointment with Dr. Wong but Dr. Kurosawa already said that I can just pick any date."
Yugi absentmindedly nodded his head while he listened. "And when are you moving out?"
"Huh? Moving out?" Yami blinked, surprised at what he was hearing from his aibou. "What are you talking about?"
"Well you can't stay here," Yugi said with a laugh, spinning around in the small room. "There's no room at all for all the baby stuff you're going to need. I just assumed that you had already talked with Kaiba about moving in with him."
A frown crossed Yami's lips. "Seto didn't mention anything about it."
"Maybe he just needs a little push…"
"Aibou don't do anything…"
"I wouldn't dream of it!" Yugi quickly replied, giving his yami his most innocent look.
Not entirely convinced, Yami let the subject drop anyway. He didn't need to be fighting with his aibou, especially when he could be using his free time napping.
Closing his eyes, Yami soon fell into a peaceful sleep.
Yami nervously paced the examination room, waiting for Dr. Wong to arrive. He wanted this over with because the last three days Yugi had been plotting ways to convince Seto to allow Yami to move with him and the former Pharaoh was afraid that his aibou would try something while was he was preoccupied with his doctor's appointment.
"Yami!"
Yami barely had time to turn his head towards the door when arms were flung around his neck, squeezing tightly. "I've missed you so much!"
"Vivian!" Yami gasped, trying to struggle away from the famous Chinese duelist. Freeing himself, Yami jumped away and stared at the fangirl who wore a skimpy outfit under her white doctor's jacket.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm your doctor silly!" she cheerfully with a love struck look on her face. "Dr. Vivian Wong!"
"NO!" In a panic, Yami attempted to dart past the girl but she grabbed the back of his sparkly shirt and calmly dragged him back into the middle of the medical room.
"Don't be a baby," she scolded in a stern voice. Yami swore she was a psychopath, fangirl one minute and serious the next.
"How did you get to be a doctor?"
"From school," she smugly replied. "I used the money earned from winning tournaments to pay for my education and finance my research."
'Just great,' Yami fumed. His doctor was someone who not only wanted to marry him but also marry Seto.
Reluctantly, Yami allowed her to poke him with various instruments, weigh him, and take another blood and urine sample, but balked when she told him to strip naked.
"I'm kidding!" she teased as he angrily glared at her.
"Am I pregnant or what?" His patience was running thin and he wanted out of there.
"According to the report Dr. Kurosawa sent me, you're eight weeks along. Now are you going to try and escape again or will you listen nicely while I tell you the things you can and cannot do while pregnant?"
Yami sulked while she went through her list and became downright angry when she got to the part about no alcohol.
"Oh you and Kaiba are going to have such a cute baby!" she suddenly cried out. "Why is it that all the sexy ones are gay?"
Taking that as his cue to leave, Yami silently slipped out the door while Vivian continued to wail on and on about how fate was so cruel.
"Seven more months," he muttered to himself. In seven months after the kid was born, Yami was going to use Seto's power and have her shipped back to China.
Escaping the building, Yami hurried down the sidewalk as he headed toward Kaiba Corp. He needed some comfort after putting up with Vivian and he hadn't seen Seto since he broke the news, as he knew the brunet CEO was busy with work.
"Yami!"
Turning his head, Yami watched as his aibou ran across the crosswalk to join him on the same of the street. "Aibou? What are you doing here?"
"I need to speak with Kaiba about something…" Yugi replied with bright and innocent eyes, which naturally meant he was up to something. "How did your appointment go with Dr. Wong?"
A sour look crossed Yami's face. "Dr. Wong is Vivian Wong."
Yugi burst out laughing, unable to contain himself, while the only thing that Yami could do was glare at him. "Oh this is going to be great! I can't wait to tell Jou!"
"Aibou keep it a secret for now. My situation isn't exactly normal."
"Okay, okay," Yugi agreed as he wiped at the tears that had formed in his eyes from all the laughing.
"So why do you want to see Seto?" Yami asked, remembering why his aibou was there.
"Umm…just to talk…"
"Aibou…"
"What!"
"Leave. Seto. Alone."
"I just want to talk!"
Yami narrowed his eyes. "About what?"
"You know…things like what color he's planning on painting the nursery…what names he's thinking about…whether he's going to ask you to move in or not…"
"Go home Aibou," Yami replied with a sigh before strolling past Yugi to continue on his way.
In no time at all, Yami reached the impressive building. As he walked across the lobby he swore that everyone's eyes were on his flat belly, which would soon begin to grow.
Quickly, he hurried up to Seto's office where he immediately plopped himself down in Seto's lap, flinging his arms around the brunet's neck, interrupting his work in the process.
"What is it this time?"
"I'm eight weeks pregnant," Yami muttered, his face buried in the brunet's shoulders.
"You already knew that!" Seto protested with a frown, wondering why the ex-spirit was so upset.
"Yeah but now it's official."
Seto bit his tongue, wanting to tell him that he was a nut but not wanting to upset him further. "Don't worry; everything will be okay."
The phone rang, interrupting their talk. With a sigh, Seto reached over with one hand to answer it while keeping the other wrapped around Yami's waist. He had learned that Yami got tremendously bitchy whenever he accidentally let the former Pharaoh fall to the floor. "Hello? Yugi…?"
Yami's eyes widened in surprise as he tore away from Seto in a desperate attempt to grab the phone. The crafty CEO, however, dodged him and held him at bay with one hand. "…Yami's right here…what do you mean 'what names do I like?' Nursery?"
Finally Yami managed to yank the phone away. "I told you to leave him alone!"
Yami hung up the phone and cuddled with Seto once more. After a few quiet moments the brunet finally decided it was safe to speak.
"Are you going to tell me what that was about?"
"Yugi's just being weird," Yami muttered, keeping himself pressed up against his lover.
"I see…" It was a lie, he had no idea what Yami meant. "…Isn't he thinking about things like names and a nursery too soon?"
"He's excited."
"It's not his kid."
Sitting up, Yami punched Seto in the shoulder while glaring at him. "Be nice."
"Why did you do that?" Seto protested while rubbing his sore shoulder.
"Because I'm moving in with you whether you like it or not and I don't want you being mean to Aibou!"
Seto stared at Yami; his brain trying to process what was being said. "…Okay…"
"Good."
Satisfied, Yami wrapped his arms around Seto's neck once more and began snuggling up against him again.
A month went by, which involved Yami moving into the Kaiba Mansion. He still however did not tell his other friends that he was knocked up; only his family and Mokuba knew. Yugi's mother had squealed delightfully when she found out, happy to be having a grandchild, even though Yami wasn't technically her son. Mokuba was likewise glad but mainly because Seto was happy. Jiichan on the other hand took the amused approach, always mentioning how they screwed up since Horus got Seth pregnant, not the other way around.
Yami scowled at the small belly he now had as he tugged his shirt down far enough to cover it; there was no doubt now that there was a little life growing inside him.
When satisfied with the way he looked, Yami headed downstairs to the kitchen where breakfast was ready.
"You have an appointment today don't you?" Seto inquired as he placed a plateful of pancakes down in front of Yami. It was unspoken agreement that Seto would cook breakfast since he was always up so early. They used to have a cook who did everything but Yami had fired her a week ago during one of his bad moods when she 'looked at him funny'.
"Bacon?" Yami asked, licking his lips and looking up at the brunet with hopeful eyes.
With a roll of his own eyes, Seto marched back over to the stove to retrieve the bacon he had been cooking. Moments later he returned and placed the heaping pile of bacon next to the pancakes that Yami was busy covering with honey.
"Well…?"
"Food…good…yum…"
Seto bit his tongue, wanting to lash out but also wanting to avoid a mood swing from his petite lover. Mentally counting to ten he was ready to ask his question again. "I asked if you had an appointment today or not."
"Umm…yeah…" Taking a bite out of his honey-covered pancakes, Yami thought it over. "…I think so…"
"Yami you need to know these things!"
Yami scowled. "Why? You're not the one who has to go visit her."
"Because of the baby!"
Seto held his breath while he watched Yami pout and then sighed. "Alright fine; I'll keep track of my stupid appointments from now on."
"Thank you!" the brunet was relieved, as he knew that the former Pharaoh was unpleasant with his current situation. "Now eat up."
Yami however had already gone back to stuffing himself with food. Four days ago his morning sickness had seemingly gone away and ever since he had been making up for all the food he had missed out on during the previous months.
"Take whatever car you want or call for the limo." Placing a quick kiss to the top of Yami's head, Seto downed the rest of the contents of his coffee mug and began getting ready to leave. "I'll see you tonight."
"Hmph; I know," Yami grumbled as he stood and placed his dishes in the dishwasher. He then immediately wandered over to the freezer found some ice cream. Not bothering with a bowl, Yami found a spoon and began digging in.
"Buy me some Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge ice cream on your way home?" Yami asked with pleading eyes. Despite the fact he was going out later he wanted Seto to do it.
"Alright," Seto replied as he picked up his briefcase from where it rested on the table.
"And some Cherry Cheesecake!"
"Cherry Cheesecake; got it."
"And Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream!"
"And Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream," Seto repeated with a small sigh, wondering how he had ever gotten into this mess. "Anything else?"
"Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough."
"The ice cream or the actual cookie dough?"
"Both."
Seto groaned. He was going to have to start buying stock in an ice cream company the way Yami was going through it.
"Have fun today!" Yami mumbled between mouthfuls of ice cream.
With a small smile, Seto placed a final kiss to Yami's forehead. Despite being a pain at times, Yami was adorable.
Yami scowled as he stormed across the parking lot. How dare she try and suggest he was gaining weight too fast; although he did get to listen to the baby's heartbeat, which had been pretty cool, he still didn't like Vivian, especially when she gave him an odd look and muttered something under her breath about knowing for sure when he had an ultrasound.
Yami's cellphone rang and he pulled it out. "Hello?" He snapped, still pissed over his visit with Vivian.
"Hey Yami; you busy?" Yugi's cheerful voice came clearly across. "We're gathering at Burger World for some lunch."
Instantly Yami brightened up. He was starving and burgers were the perfect thing to ease his cravings. "I'll be there in ten minutes."
True to his word it only took Yami that long to get to the fast food place thanks to the speedy sports car Seto had loaned him. Entering the establishment, Yami quickly found his friends gathered into a long booth with Honda sitting at the end in a chair he had dragged over from another table.
Squeezing next to Anzu in the booth, Yami reached across the table and grabbed Yugi's hamburger. Between mouthfuls he gave some yen to Honda to go order Yugi a new burger, another two for himself and a chocolate milkshake.
"What's wrong? Kaiba not feeding you?" Jou grumbled from where he sat on the other side of Anzu. Across from the shaggy haired blond, Ryou kicked him under the table, making Jou yip in pain.
"So how are things going?" the white-haired angel politely asked.
"Good," he said after swallowing his food. Looking around the restaurant he wondered when Honda would be back with the rest. "Where's Honda? I'm hungry!"
"I don't even know how you can eat that junk," Malik said from where he sat between Ryou and Yugi. There was an ill look on the blond Egyptian's face and Yami wondered what he was still doing in Domino. Yami had thought Malik would have returned to Egypt a long time ago.
Before Yami could ask him about it though, Honda finally returned, which made Yami forget all about the blond Egyptian.
"Yami are you sure you're getting fed?" Anzu asked in a worried tone. Across the table Yugi snickered and Yami shot him a dirty look.
"Yes. I'm just hungry that's all."
When they were finished eating, they gathered out on the street to say their good-byes before going their separate ways. With a wave, Yami headed off towards his car.
"Hey where did Ryou go?" he heard from behind him but paid no attention to it. Ryou had probably just gone to the restroom.
Rounding the corner, Yami's eyes narrowed when he saw a figure leaning up against his car. He now knew where Ryou had gone.
"Yo Pharaoh."
"What are you doing here?" Yami demanded to know as he marched over to the car and glared at the white-haired man. "Didn't I kill you?"
"Only the evil side." Bakura lifted up the Sennen Ring that was around his neck. Last Yami had seen the ring had still been with the other items. "Good thing my host is such a good little thief."
"What do you want?"
Bakura glared at the former Pharaoh and his rival. "Only to find out how you did it; how you got a body for yourself."
"Like I'd tell you." Walking over to the car, Yami shoved Bakura out of the way. "Now move. I want to go home."
"Feh, fine. How then should I break it to everyone that you're pregnant?"
Yami spun around to face Bakura once more. "How did you know?"
"Call it a hunch," came the reply as Bakura tapped the ring. "Well…?"
"Fine, I'll help," Yami growled.
Bakura smirked. "Smart move."
A/N - Thank you everyone who took a few minutes and reviewed the first chapter. It really does mean a lot to me. Please keep it up.
