Chapter 23

Baby Boy Scout

Yugi smiled in Yami's embrace. He was home finally.

"When can daddy leave?" Alas smiled.

"Not for a while. Daddy is hurt." Yugi nodded and hugged Yami.

"Daddy feel better ok?" Yami chuckled slightly and nodded. Yami and Alas's parents smiled and left after saying they would come back later. Letting the family be together. Yami sighed in content and fell asleep.

A week has past and Yami was doing way better. He was able to get some stitches out and has been practicing walking for really short distances. Yami smiled as he watched Yugi walk next to him.

"You can do it daddy!" Yugi squealed. Yami chuckled and took another step. Yugi smiled, he liked helping his dad get better since that's what Yami had always done for him. Yami sighed and sat on the edge of his bed. Yugi jumped up and sat next to him. Yami wrapped his arm around Yugi and held him close.

"You're a big help." Yami whispered.

"You always help me I just thought that I should help you. Besides I love you. I don't want you hurt." Yugi said. Yami's smile grew.

"I love you too son."

"Ok you boys. It's time to eat." Alas said coming into the room. She held up a couple of bags and started passing out some food. Yami nodded and sat further back on the bed wincing slightly. "Are you ok Yami?" Alas asked worried.

"Yeah." He paused to relive the pressure. "Just a little soar." Alas nodded.

"Do you want me to go get a doctor?"

"No it's ok. I'm fine." Alas got up and helped Yami place pillows behind him. Yami sighed and smiled. "Thanks."

"You're welcome." The gang gathered around and started eating. "Son Joey is coming by later. He was wondering if you wanted to go over to the police station and hang out with them. They were also planning on doing some other things. And you can spend the night. Would you like to?" Yugi looked up at Yami. Yami smiled and nodded at the boy.

"God ahead son. I'll be fine." Yugi smiled slightly and turned towards Alas.

"Yeah." He said softly. Alas smiled and nodded.

"Uncle Joey!" Yugi shouted jumping from Yami's bed and into Joey's arms. Joey chuckled and threw him in the air slightly.

"How are ya Yug?" Yugi giggled and hugged Joey.

"Good!" Joey smiled and held him back and rubbed circles on his back.

"I'm glad. How are ya man?" Joey asked Yami. Yami smiled.

"I'm doing better." Joey smiled and patted Yami's left shoulder.

"I'm glad. Ya had us scared." Yami nodded slightly. "Well Yug are ya ready to go?" Yugi nodded eagerly.

"Yeah!" Joey smiled.

"Here take this just in case." Alas said throwing Joey a small blue light jacket. Joey caught it and placed it over Yugi's shoulders. "Have fun son!" Yugi waved to Yami and Alas.

Joey smiled and placed Yugi into the front on Tristan's lap.

"Hey Yugi!"

"Hi Uncle Tristan!" Tristan smiled and held Yugi close.

"Is there anything you want to do Yugi?" Tristan asked. Yugi looked up at Tristan and shrugged.

"What's there to do?"

"Hm...well we were going to plant some flowers in front of the station. Would you like to do that? We can pick up some flowers that you'd like." Yugi smiled and nodded.

"Yeah! I want to do that!" They chuckled.

They made there way to a gardening store. Tristan lifted Yugi out and sat him on the ground. Joey and Tristan stood on both sides and held Yugi's hands. Yugi happily skipped between the two men. They reached the flowers and seeds. Yugi looked around at all flowers.

"Can you pick out a couple you like?" Yugi smiled cheerfully and looked at all the different colors and types of flowers. Picking out a couple packets of seeds he also picked out a couple that were already grown and would grow back next year once they died. They were now looking at the shovels and other tools that were used in gardening. Yugi watched his 'uncles' look at the equipment. Suddenly he felt something warm run down his leg. Looking down he saw his pants grow darker from being wet. He didn't even know he had to go. Yugi's little heart beat faster. '...I...no...' He thought looking up at his uncles. He slowly reached up at grabbed Joey's hand.

"Uncle Joey?" Yugi said softly. His eyes watered slightly and tears slowly gathered.

"Yes Yug." Yugi looked away slightly ashamed. 'What if they get mad?...they wouldn't hurt me...would they?'

"I...I..." Joey got down on one knee and that's when he saw why Yugi was nervous.

"Oh Yug come here." Joey said hold him close. "It's ok." Joey lifted Yugi and wrapped his jacket closer around Yugi. "Tris I think we need ta get Yug a new pair of clothes." Joey then leaned over and told Tristan. Tristan smiled gently at Yugi.

"Yeah. It's ok Yugi." Yugi nodded slightly and hid his face in Joey's shirt.

"Hang in der Yug. We are almost done." Yugi clenched his tiny fingers into Joey's shirt. Joey smiled and rubbed his back soothingly. They quickly got a new outfit for Yugi and checked out. Yugi stayed with Joey as Tristan drove to the station. Joey took Yugi to the showers with an old pair of his cloths. "You can dress into that until were done with the gardening. I know you're going to get dirty. Yugi nodded as Joey turned on the showers and quickly washed Yugi. Yugi smiled as he was squirt with the water.

"Hey!" Yugi shouted as he rubbed his eyes. Joey smiled and dried him in a towel. Then he put the huge cloths on Yugi. He had to get a piece of rope to keep up his shorts on the boy. Yugi giggled as he watched Joey attempt to keep the cloths on him.

"Der!" Joey said lifting the boy. Yugi smiled and was carried out to the front of the station. The ground looked as though it used to have a garden but it died and no one bothered to put a new one in. Tristan had changed from his uniform and took Yugi from Joey while Joey went to change.

"Hey you go Yugi. Take this." Yugi held the tool given to him by Tristan. "Turn the ground like this." Yugi did what Tristan showed him.

"Why do we have to do this?"

"It helps loosen the ground so it can breathe."

"The ground breaths?" Yugi asked looking up at Tristan confused. Tristan chuckled.

"Well not exactly. It's just to allow the air to circulate through the ground. We also need to soften the ground for the plants roots to move and water can easily reach the roots." Yugi nodded and continued to turn the dirt.

"Give me a shovel!" Joey shouted walking out. Tristan smiled and handed him a shovel. They worked about 15 minuets on the ground. Then they set the ground up with well spaced holes. Yugi smiled as he placed in seeds and plants.

"Good job Yugi!" Yugi smiled and whiped his hands on his already, once white, brown shirt. Joey smiled and lifted the dirty boy.

"Lets get clean!" Joey shouted marching into the station. After they all got clean and into comfortable clean clothes the gang played around the station. "Man Yug ya have lots of energy!" Joey chuckled chasing the boy. Yugi smiled and ran under Tristan's legs. Yugi grabbed Tristan's pant legs and hid behind him. Tristan chuckled at the small boy. Yugi poked his head from behind the man's legs and giggled. "Ya think ya can get away that easily?" Yugi giggled as he jumped away from Tristan and watched as the two men fell to the floor.

"Hey!" Tristan said chuckling and helped Joey up. Yugi hid under the desk and crept out of the office when the men weren't looking. Yugi wondered around the station, looking for good places to hide. He wondered into the bathroom and saw a man putting some white fluffy stuff on his face. He watched the man pull up a razor and clear the stuff away. Yugi smiled slightly. Curious he walked in getting a better look. He reached up and tugged on the man's pants.

"Huh?" He asked turning. Confused he slowly drifted his gaze down. There was a small child smiling up at him. "Well hello there." Yugi's smile widened.

"Why do you put that white stuff on your face?" The man smiled warmly and lifted the child and placed him on the counter.

"When we get older us men shave the hair on our face. Well most do."

"Why?"

"I guess it matters if you like it, or the way you look." Yugi nodded and took the container in his hands and looked at the bottle. The man smiled and took the container. "Here hold out your hands." Yugi cupped his hands together and held them out. The man smiled and sprayed some in the boy's hand. Yugi giggled and played with his new toy.

"It's cold and mushy." He said squeezing it between his fingers. The man nodded and continued to finish shaving. After he finished he helped wash Yugi's hands and picked him up.

"Now lets see who you belong to."

"I came here with Uncle Joey and Uncle Tristan." The man smiled.

"Ah I see. You must be Yugi." Yugi smiled and nodded. "How is Yami doing?"

"He's good." The man smiled and nodded.

"I'm glad." He carried Yugi to Joey's office. "Hmm...I wonder where they are." Just then they heard a voice over the speaker.

"Yugi please find a police officer (I know it's a station but I bet there might be criminals there to.) in the building. If you find a little boy please bring him to the main office." The man smiled.

"Well I guess they have been looking for you huh?" Yugi smiled and nodded. They headed over to the main office. He reached up and knocked on the door. "Delivery." He chuckled. Joey opened the door.

"Oh thank da gods! Thank you so much Mike." He smiled and handed Yugi over.

"I got to play with white foamy stuff that he put on his face. When will I shave?" Yugi asked. The men chuckled.

"Not for a while Yug." Yugi nodded and rested his head on Joey's chest. Joey held Yugi close.

I know the court date wasn't on it. I'm sorry! I think it'll be on the next

Thank you!
