Chapter 1

The wake up call

It was early morning when Seto and Ann were asleep on the living room couch, only to be awaken by the sound of a crying baby, foot steps where heard over in the kitchen, as Kisty ran to quiet her daughter with a bottle of milk upstairs.

Seto opened one of his eyes, and looked at his wife Ann who was asleep in his arms, slowly he removed his arms and was able to slip off the couch and not wake Ann, a trick he had picked up over the last year that he had been married to her.

As Seto stepped into the main hall of the house, he could hear Kisty in the hallway walking back and forth trying to get her daughter to fall back asleep. Seto decided to take matters into his own hand, so he walked towards the stairs, he could see Kisty pacing back and forth, the poor girl hadn't slept all night her brown hair was a mess, and her little 6-month-old daughter was crying her head off.

"Come on Ally, give your mother a break, she can't take much more of this," Kisty whispered rubbing her daughter's back. Seto shook his head, "Kisty, why, don't you just let me take care of Ally here," he said. Kisty shook her head, "Dad, this is my daughter, I am going to take care of her," she said. Seto shook his head, he knew that Kisty was still upset, about the accident and now was clinging to the only thing she had left of Josh, and that was the little 6 month old girl, named Alexandra but everyone called her Ally.

Ann walked up next to Seto, she looked at her exhausted stepdaughter who looked now like she was going to clasp with Ally in her arms. "Kisty, this isn't the time to be as stubborn, as your father, now let him or I take Ally and you get some sleep," spoke the clam woman with a kind voice.

"I am not being stubborn," Kisty fired back, "I am just…" Kisty began to fall over just as she spoke, Ann ran to little Ally, and Seto caught Kisty. "You are exhausted, Kisty, you need to sleep," Seto said. Kisty shook her head, "No I am not, I just…I just tripped," she snapped, "I am perfectly find, I am just doing my job as a parent," she said. Ann held Ally, as the child continued to cry finally Ann, walked the baby into the nursery and came back with the bottle, Ally was drinking from it, and it was quiet now in the hallway.

Kisty's head fell, "I fail all the time, now, I can't even make my daughter be quiet," she said. Seto hugged his daughter, "No you're just mourning right you can't even think straight and you haven't slept in over 3 days, you need to get to bed now and that's an order," he snapped. Kisty pulled out of her father's grip, "I am not going to sleep Dad, I need to be there for Ally," she said. Ann shook her head, "You can't be there for your daughter if you haven't had sleep, Seto and I can handle little Ally, you get to bed," said Ann trying to be in a pleasant tone. Kisty shook her head, "I told you there is nothing wrong with me I just don't want to impose," she said.

Seto laughed, "You aren't, now go to bed, or I am going to have to throw you in your room and lock the door," he threatened in a joking tone. Kisty rolled her eyes, "I am not 8 anymore Dad," she said. Seto smirked, "I know but you are acting like one," he said. Kisty looked at her step mother for confirmation, and she gave a nod, "I have Ally quiet and when she is done with the bottle, I will put her to bed, and when she starts crying I will change her, ok, now Kisty get some sleep," she said and walked Ally into the nursery.

Kisty closed her eyes, "Dad…" she started to say. "Don't even think about it, for once I am agreeing with Ann about you, and Ally. I didn't like the fact you were living alone in that house, and I didn't like the fact that you been killing yourself by not sleeping, you useless to Ally if you can't even stand on your own two feet. I am being nice about it Kisty or else I would have locked you in your room until I knew you got at least 2 hours of sleep," he said. Kisty looked to the ceiling, "Why did all this have to happen," she said slowly letting one of the tears fall down her face.

Seto hugged his daughter, "Look at me, Kisty," said Seto turning his daughter's head to look at him, she looked at her father's blue eyes, that they both shared in color, "I was in the same boat with your mother, you're scared you want to hold on as tight as you can and not let go of what you lost. I know because I have been there, you are hurting right now, and I wouldn't be surprise if you started acting like me, and do everything but take care of yourself. I am here to make sure you don't make my mistakes, and trust Ann with Ally; she has a mother's instincts even she lost her own child a few months ago," he said.

Kisty turned her head away, "Why did he have to be in that car, why couldn't I just had him stay home, and ask Mokuba to pick up the stuff from the store," she started crying, as she tried to stand using the wall as a crutch. "Fate has a funny way of working, now come on let's get you to bed, you shouldn't be on your feet," Seto said seeing Kisty began to stubble. Ann walked out of the nursery, "Ally is asleep, now you get to bed sweetie and let the grandparents do their thing," she said. Kisty nodded knowing she wasn't going to win this fight even if she tried, she was just too mentally exhausted and physically it was taking its toll on her.

Kisty walked into her room, the bed was in the corner with a table lamp next to it, and two big French doors leading to small balcony that over looked the front yard. Kisty slowly crawled into bed, and Seto pulled the blanket over his daughter, "Get some rest, Ann and I will watch over Ally and make sure nothing happens to her, you get some sleep," he said. Kisty nodded and closed her eyes letting small tears fall down her face, she hadn't had a good dream since the accident, which Josh her only love that had been at her side, died.

Seto closed the door to Kisty's room, he decided that if his daughter was going to go rushing to Ally then she should, be able too. Ann stood in the hall with the clothes she had worn the night before which was causal cloths unlike Seto's which was left over pieces of his business suit, for Ann and Seto had been watching movies until they fell asleep on the living room couch.

"She actually is going to listen for once," said Ann in surprise. Seto nodded, "I think she knows, that she can't win against me," he smirked as he spoke. Ann rolled her eyes, "You know I hate it when you're so egotistical," she said looking over at her husband. Seto smiled, "I have been on Kisty's road, yeah she was older when her mother died, but I knew I would one day have to let go, I am just glad Kisty wasn't in that car with the baby," he said.

Ann nodded, "I wish our son could be in there with Ally, I know she could of used the company," she sighed, thinking about the son she lost because of a under developed heart. "I tried to do the best I could, for him while he was here," Ann said looking at the ground. "I know you did, Ann, that was only a few months ago, and then Josh dies in a car wreck, I don't know what I would do if I lost you and Kisty, or even Ally now," he said kissing Ann softly.

Ann nodded after Seto pulled away from the kiss, "I know you would probably be like your daughter right now and not get any sleep," she said. Seto smiled, "You are right about that, come on, lets get dressed, it's grandparent's day with Ally, and I know that kid is going to be up in about 1 hour," he said, as Ann giggled.

Kisty lay in her bed, her eyes were heavy but she was fighting to keep them open, she couldn't sleep not with the accident fresh in her mind.

Flashback

(2 months before)

"Kisty, I am going down to the store, I will be back in a minute," he said, taking the car keys to the sports car. Kisty was holding a sleeping Ally on the couch, "Ok, Josh just come back soon," she said. Josh walked over Kisty and gave her a kiss, then putting his hand on Ally's head, "You take care of your mother and stay asleep ok," he whispered. Kisty giggled at Josh, "You, be careful," she said, to him. Josh smiled, "I only going to get some dippers then I will be right back," he said and walked out the door, Kisty didn't know she wouldn't see him again until he was in the hospital.

Kisty had been asleep with Ally in her little basinet that was next to the couch, when the phone rang, Kisty slowly lifted up her head and answered the phone, it was a call she wished that she never gotten for her worst fear came true that day.

(Two hours later)

Kisty was at Domino hospital with Seto, Ann, Mokuba, Yugi, Tea, there son Chris and daughter Rose was there, Mokuba with his wife Lisa and their sons Andrew and Matthew, Joey and Mai with their son Jono, and Josh's two adoptive father's Bakura and Ryou, were all in the waiting room, to hear how Josh was doing. Kisty was shaking as she held baby Ally in her arms, Seto offered to take his granddaughter while his daughter paced around the waiting room, and she did hand over the baby girl after a few minutes of pacing her arms were getting tired.

Kisty saw the doctor, coming over to them, "Kisty Kaiba-Devilen, I presume?" he asked. Kisty nodded, "Yes, how is my husband doing?" she asked. The doctor looked at the ground, "Can we talk away from everyone else?" he asked. Kisty nodded knowing that the news wasn't good, as they took a few steps down the hall. Seto handed baby Ally over to Ann as he stuck his head in the hallway.

"I am sorry to tell you this ma'am, but Josh isn't going to make it, he has internal bleeding, that we have tried to stop, but there is too much damage, I have done all I can all we can do is make him comfortable. I am sorry to break this too you, now," he said, "Do you still wish to see him?"

Kisty nodded her head, "Yes, I don't want him to die alone," she said, quietly then turning her head to see her father nodding at her to go ahead while he told everyone else. Kisty stepped into the barely lit hospital room, Josh was hooked up to several machines, and his heart monitor was faint bandages were all over his arms and forehead his face couldn't be seen in the light but his green eyes shown the brightest. "Josh," Kisty spoke slowly taking his hand, "Don't die on me, you fight, you hear me," she said.

Josh gave a small laugh, "You always were stubborn, when it came to death," he said. Kisty look at him, "You shouldn't talk," she said letting some tears roll out of her blue eyes. Josh smiled, "Kisty, look at me, I am dying either way," he said. Kisty shook her head, "Don't say that," she let some more tears fall down. "Kisty, I am not immortal, like some people you know, but our time is over," he said.

Kisty closed her eyes; she couldn't believe she was hearing this, "Josh, what about our daughter? Don't leave her like my mother left me," she begged. Josh smiled under his oxygen mask, "You are never alone, Kisty and I won't leave Ally, I will look over her like your mother did for you, now is my time, accept it," he said. Kisty shook her head her heart was ripping apart.

"Josh, please, I am helpless," she whispered as she placed her forehead against his bandaged. "No you are far from that," he said, "You need to be strong, and be there for your daughter, now," he said. Kisty looked at Josh's green eyes, "Josh…" she said as he removed the oxygen mask, "I want you to stay good bye then walk through that door and don't look back," he said slowly kissing Kisty's lips. Kisty kissed him back slowly, knowing it would be the last time, "I can't say good bye to you," she said letting a tear slip past her face. "You can and you will, Kisty," he said, "Now go, you don't need to watch me die, and I am not alone. I will tell your mother I said hi," he said with small smile.

Kisty closed her eyes, and nodded her head, Josh took Kisty's hand and gave it a small squeeze, "Good bye Kisty," he said. Kisty whispered her good bye, to Josh and walked towards the door, taking a deep breath, she put her hand on the door, and was about to look back, "Don't you look back, Kisty, never look back," Josh said. Kisty nodded and opened the door and walked out of the room, she looked at the doctor, and he went inside with a few nurses.

Kisty walked over to the wall across from the room and slumped to the floor, and began to cry, and 20 minutes later the doctor came out and Josh was wheeled down to the morgue. Ann walked over to Kisty's slumped form, after seeing the doctors wheel a bed past the waiting hall, when she saw Kisty on the floor crying into her knees. Seto handed his granddaughter to Yugi to hold while he and Ann went to comfort Kisty.

Kisty looked at Ann, as Seto approached, "Your going to be ok," she said. Kisty shook her head, "I can't ever be happy, forever," she whispered. Seto put his hand on his daughter's shoulder, and pulled her in to hug, "You will get through this, and everything that comes with it," he said. Kisty cried into her father's arm as they stood there in the hallway of the hospital.

Atem and Preethi had just arrived when they saw Josh's body being rolled down the hall; they walked into the waiting room, "So how is he?" Atem asked. Yugi looked at Ally in his arms, the baby girl was asleep, "She has only has her mother now," he said. They got there just as Ann, Seto, and Kisty walked back into the waiting room.

End Flashback

Kisty cried into the pillow, she was still mourning for Josh it was only a couple of weeks ago, that the funeral had happened, but she wasn't over it she thought she never would be over it not in a million years.

Meanwhile over on the other side of Domino a man walked out of the prison, he brushed his black hair back and his green eyes caught a woman sitting by a car, "About time you showed up Duke, I got some news on your son," she said. Duke walked over towards the woman, "And how is my span doing?" he asked. The woman frowned, "He's dead, in a car accident a few weeks ago," she said. Duke shook his head, "Dammit, they killed him," he cursed.

"That's not all, before he passed away, he married Kaiba's daughter and she has a kid, that's six months old," spoke the woman as she ran her hands through her short brown hair. "So, he got what he wanted after all a small family," Duke said leaning against the car. The woman nodded, "So what are you going to do now?" she asked. Duke sighed, "I don't know Tea, I honestly don't know, but I will tell you this, I am not going to let those bastards kill my grandchild or daughter in law that's for sure," he said.

Tea looked at Duke puzzled, "It seems that you forget that you can't go near Kisty," she said. Duke nodded, "Who said I was going near her, I am talking about the creeps that murdered my son, and put me up for trying to get all that money, Tea," he said. Tea shook her head, "Duke, I am the only one that knows the full truth maybe you should tell the others?" she said. Duke shook his head, "You wan their lives in danger, yours was bad enough Tea, with your two kids, and Yugi to worry about I am lucky that you believed me," he said.

Tea nodded, "Hey what are friends for, besides, as I recalled those people killed my parents too, so you're not alone," she said to Duke. "I know they took out my family and we both had to change identities, now that I am out, this changes my original plans. I am going to have to play hero here," he said. Tea nodded, "Come on lets get you out of her," she said not wanting to talk about it.
