Well, here's chapter five. It's been awhile since I last updated this story. I wanted to get this chappie just right, so here goes.

I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! I'm just playing with the characters.

Chapter Five- I'm WHAT?

Seto woke up on the night that would mark the fourth week of his relationship with Joey to find his bed empty save for himself. Fear gripped his heart. Why wasn't Joey there? Was he hurt? In danger? Or...was Joey sick of him? Had their lovemaking just been an exercise in novelty to the human and now the novelty had worn off? No, he wouldn't believe that until he had asked Joey himself. Getting up, Seto left the mansion and sped over to Joey's comfortable and modern home. The difference in the two houses were worlds apart. Whereas Seto's home was a crumbling and forgotten place, Joey's was well-kept and cared for. The lawn was well-trimmed and a lovely flowerbed was blooming, devoid of weeds. No peeling paint, no crooked shutters, no missing shingles. Everything looked perfect. Hard to believe that Joey had a father that didn't care how late his son stayed out or where he went.

Walking over to the house's left side, he located a lit room on the second floor. The curtains were drawn, but Seto knew it was Joey's room from the few times, he followed his mate (?). Jumping onto the tree branch close to the window, he knocked on it. He waited a few minutes before knocking more insistently on it. The curtains flew open and Joey's shocked face appeared. Opening the window, he let Seto in before saying, "How did you find my house?"

"I followed you a few times when you left the house. I became concerned when I woke up tonight and didn't see you."

"I woke up this morning and felt sick. I-" Suddenly, Joey's face turned a wicked shade of green. Clapping a hand over his mouth, Joey dashed out of the room and down the hall. Worried, the vampire followed his mate to the bathroom where he found Joey regurgitating into the bowl. Rubbing the human's back, he waited until Joey lifted his head up and sat back on his heels. Panting heavily, Joey continued with what he had started to say. "I don't know why I feel so sick. I've felt perfectly fine all weekend and then, wham! I wake up with a stomach virus."

Seto rummaged through the medicine cabinet for a cup so Joey could rinse his mouth out. He came across a curious-looking box along with the cup. Handing the cup to Joey, he examined the box. Joey spat the water out before he noticed what caught Seto's interest. "I didn't know Mom had a pregnancy test much less leave one behind."

"Pregnancy test? You mean, you can find out if you're pregnant without having to visit those doctors?"

"Yeah. Well, that's how I think it works. It just might be a test to determine if you could be pregnant before you call the doctor for an appointment to ascertain it."

"Joey?" Seto's voice shook slightly. "Is it possible that you're pregnant?"

Joey snorted. "Don't be absurd (A/N: OMG! Joey used a vocab word! Call the press!). Guys can't be pregnant. It's impossible."

"Maybe not." The vampire's voice was soft.

"What'd ya mean?"

"I've heard that vampires can mate with humans, male or female, and produce offspring. The human is the one who carrys the child. Of course, if the human is turned after giving birth, he or she can still produce children."

Joey looked shocked by the revealation. Grabbing the box out of Seto's hands, he said, "Let me see how this thing works." Following the printed directions, Joey took the test. After one agonizing minute, the square on the test displayed the results: positive.

"OH MY GOD!" Joey's scream echoed throughout the house. Luckily, Joey's father decided to go a bar. "I'M PREGNANT! I DON'T BELIEVE IT! I'm carrying a human/vampire baby?"

"Joey, calm down. You're not helping the baby."

"Calm down? I'm pregnant! This can't be happening!" Joey had fallen into a fit of hysterics and Seto slapped him hard across the face to bring him out of it. Rubbing his sore cheek, Joey glared at the vampire. "What was that for?"

"You were hysterical. The only way to bring someone back to their senses is to slap them hard."

"You'd be hysterical too if you found out you're goin' have a baby despite nature saying you can't."

"True. But this isn't natural. This is supernatural. Therefore, it's quite normal."

"Right. Normal. So, you're sayin' because we made love, I end up pregnant because I happen to be the human in this relationship."

"That's exactly right."

"So, now what do I do?"

"I suggest seeing those doctors of yours and finding out how far along you are."

"Are you crazy? Do you have any idea how weird it's going to be for me to go the doctor and telling them that I'm pregnant? You already know that guys aren't pregnant by natural means."

Seto sighed. "Right. I forgot for a moment. I'll talk to Bakura. Perhaps, he knows a vampire doctor that we can see."

"A vampire doctor?"

"Yes. There has to be a doctor who was turned."

"You don't sound very sure."

"Frankly, I'm not. We might very well be guessing the time of birth. But I promise you, Joey. We will face this together. I will not let anything happen to you or the baby."

Aww! Seto really playing the protective mate! R&R.
