Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh does not and never will belong to me, which is such a depressing manner seeing how Seto and Téa could never be a couple in the series... (Defeated sigh)

Chapter: 10

Mokuba just kind of stared at him with that look on his face. "Téa says she's going to find another place to stay... on account that you don't want her here."

"What? I never said that, Mokuba!" Mokuba stepped back.

"Don't tell me, Seto. Go tell Téa!" Seto frowned and let out a sigh. He went up the stairs and Mokuba smiled. I knew big brother liked her. He thought and went skipping into the kitchen.

"Are you stirring up trouble again, young sir?"

"Who? Me? Come on, Hansley... you know me better than that." The man lowered his sunglasses and brown eyes stared intensly at Mokuba. "I'm just giving him the shove he needs."

"Ever think he didn't want to be shoved?"

"No." he said grabbing the spoon as Hansley placed the bowl of ice cream in front of him. Mokuba smiled and began to dig in. Hansley shook his head. For such a young kid he certainly loved to meddle in the affairs of his elder.

Téa sat on the bed and frowned. Why did she even say yes to living at the Kaiba mansion in the first place? She could have easily stayed with Yugi. She just didn't understand, but she couldn't have told Yugi she was pregnant, she would have been devastated and he would have been disappointed in her. She had made the wrong choice when she slept with Aki, no matter what she would have done he would have left her anyway. She looked at her cell phone and began to dial the all too familiar number. She held it to her ear and waited as the phone rang.

"Yeah?"

"Aki... Aki, it's Téa."

"T- Téa?"

"Yeah... look I know its over, I'm serious, I know, but I think you ought a know. About my situation."

"Listen, Téa. I really am sorry I couldn't be in love with you... love it's just a tricky thing..."

"Aki! Shut up for a second and listen to me."

"Okay."

"Aki... you're going to be a father. Now, I'm not looking for help and you don't have to be in your child's life, I was just hoping that you might want to be." It was silent for a long while. Téa waited, clutching the blanket in her hand as she waited for Aki to say something, anything, but then her mind wondered itself when the door opened slowly after a brisk knock and he stood there, the most handsome young man in the whole of Domino, even more handsome than Aki. She just stared at him and he took the cell phone out from her hand and closed it, breaking the call.

"Téa... please don't leave. I'm sorry if I made you feel unwanted." She looked at him and he stared right back, nothing to look at or whatever, just staring. It was a silent plead, one asking her not to leave. The corners of her lips turned upright and she bowed her head.

"If you really think I should stay." Another out, once again he could take it, the out. He knelt in front of her and touched her fingertips with his own.

"I think you should stay. What will you do when you have this baby?" she smiled and threw her arms around his shoulders, hugging him tightly. Seto stiffened when she embraced him, his arms at his side and the shock not fading at all, in fact, it seemed to linger there. Finally she released her hold on him and thanked him and ran out of the room, leaving him there with his initial shock.
