(Man comes over and whispers in Kineticfairy's ear) Oh! You got lucky, just sit there and don't make any trouble! Okay! Start the organ music. (Wedding March starts. Kaiba and Téa plushie in tux and wedding dress appear.) Dum-dum dummu... dum-dum dummu. (Long sigh) don'tthey just look lovey. (Dreamy stare)

Téa opened the car door and sat her son in his car chair. She pulled the seatbelt over his torso and buckled him in, kissing him on the forehead. She shut the door and opened her side and she got in. She stuck the key in the ignition and adjusted the overhead mirror. She pulled her seatbelt on and began to pull out of the driveway. The gates opened automatically and she back out and then drove backwards until she could straighten out the vehicle. She pulled forward and took off. The door to the mansion opened and Seto stood on the porch watching the gates close. He shut his eyes. Damn, too late! He stood there awhile longer before turning and going inside, maybe he could call her cell, looking at the counter to put down the gift she had gotten him and frowned there was her cell phone, he wouldn't be able to reach her until she came back.

He felt like an idiot, a reckless idiot, he should have known better than to do what he did to her, he should have been… more sensitive and humored her, if only for a little while she would play with Cole for awhile before heading off to Ueda's. But now she was probably angry at him and wouldn't come home until way late, just so she wouldn't have to encounter him, he needed to smarten up, confess everything before she realized that there were better men out there—Yami for example. Yes, he had hurt her when he left, but she still loved him, he could tell, he just could. He preferred that she chose to be with him rather than with Yami, but he couldn't hold her heart prisoner and yes, he could see a little of the affection she held for himself, but people feelings change with time and given the chance she might just fall in love with Yami all over again. He sighed, he felt so pathetic.

Téa pulled into the driveway and flashed the headlights a few times before getting out of the car, as soon as she went to opened the back door the front door of the house opened and Aki came running down the steps through the crisp snow over to her. She pulled her baby boy out of the car seat when she got the buckle off and Aki rubbed his hands and held out his hands for his son, she handed her child over carefully and waited to he had Cole. "Hey, kiddo. You have any trouble getting over here?"

"Nope. I was right behind a plower… imagine my luck." She said smiling over at the father of her child. He was looking Cole in the face, happy to just see his kid. Cole grinned up at him and he turned around and Téa followed him to the house. Aki held the door opened for her and she stepped inside, pounding the snow off her shoes before slipping out of them and putting the slippers on. She pried one boot off of Cole's foot while Aki did the other. She placed them by hers and they set Cole down and he held onto the wall and stumbled along it. She watched her son make his way to the living room. "You look like you're doing very well."

"Well I just got a promotion at my job. He looks good, Téa, you did good." She smiled and thanked him. They could have been a family; she wanted nothing in the world more than to give her son a family however Aki didn't want the family to be with her and Cole. Not to say Aki didn't love Cole, he adored the boy, Téa turned her gaze when cries of happiness erupted. Cole had fallen onto his knees into the living room, Téa watched her son get swept up and she went to go see what happened. Aki followed her and they both stopped at the threshold. Yukari had lifted up Cole in her arms high above her head and he was giggling as she gasped and made baby talk at him, Cole seemed to enjoy this most off all, especially when she began to bring him close then send him back up in the air. After a moment of that she fell onto the sofa and began to tickle and kiss his neck and face and he pushed at her playfully. Téa had to admit, she was jealous. Yukari seemed really good with Cole and that made Téa feel second best, no wonder Aki wanted this beautiful blond. Téa turned around and went into the kitchen.

She was alone in their for what must have been two minutes, before Mrs. Ueda Senior came waltzing into the kitchen. She grabbed a carrot and began cutting it and placing it inside a bowl as Téa whipped away unshed tears. Aki's mother gave Téa a sidelong look. "What are you crying for."

"Nothing."

"Don't avoid me, you avoided me when my grandson was new, you avoided me for a year, denying me a look at my son's—"

"I never kept Cole away from Aki."

"Do not interrupt me either. Now listen, Yukari is a sweet girl, she is not out to steal your child, she's expecting… she's going to be a mother and this will teach and help her interact with her own child."

"She's going to have a baby?"

"Yes. Now, what's the matter?"

"Why didn't Aki want me? Before I can fully move on… I have to know why—why didn't he want to be with me? Wasn't—wasn't I good enough?"

"Dear, my son has this whole pattern, he can't settle down unless he is truly relaxed in the relationship. He adored you… Aki felt… well, wait here a second." Mrs. Ueda left the room and Téa looked around the quaint little kitchen before pulling a chair out and sitting down, slowly, drawing in a breath. She was startled when Aki's mother hadn't returned, but Aki himself was standing in front of her, hands at his side, this kind of frozen posture, while avoiding her gaze. Téa stood up quickly as if sitting in the chair was breaking the whole atmosphere of the tidy, loving home. He walked over to her and looked her square in the eyes. That beautiful amber she use to get lost in, that amber she could have stared at for the rest of her life, but he had denied her that, that fateful day.

"Mother said you need some sort of closure on our past."

"That would be nice." She muttered, completely defenseless. She was unsure. Completely and hopeless lost. He would tell her why and no answer would be good enough. He couldn't love her but he damn well could love Yukari.

"You intimidated me, Téa. With how much you shone and all your passion and honesty and will, you made me feel like I was holding you back, besides… you didn't really love me at all."

"Aki! That's not true… now… even now I still want to be with you and I know how wrong that is because you do, you really do love Yukari. But… I can't help these feelings, I was really devastated when you left me."

"You pushed me away Téa. You did, when you knew you were with Cole you pushed me as hard as you could, to keep me from getting close. You weren't doing it to deny me, but because I had hurt you, I had made you feel scared and abandoned, I just… I couldn't be around knowing my feelings were not as strong as I had originally thought they were. I'm happy now Téa, I've found my happiness and it's here in this home with my wife."

Tears streamed down her cheeks, her eyes tightly shut. "You don't really want to get back with me. You just needed to hear how content I am. How happy Yukari makes me and that no matter what happens, that I'll always love Cole and Téa… Téa I will, I will always cherish that boy." Her arms surrounded his shoulders suddenly and his eyes rounded. He pulled her to him and stroked her hair. "Okay, come on, chin up, dry eyes. Let's get back with the others." She nodded and released him and ran her hands over her face, brushing her tears away. He looked her over and gave her the thumbs-up. She smiled and laughed a little.

While Cole was playing with his grandmother, Yukari sat next to Téa. Téa looked at her and they smiled at each other. "How terrible does he get?"

"We haven't gone into the terrible two's yet." Téa laughed as she looked at her son who leaned forward, grabbed his grandmother's face and kissed her on the bridge of her nose before hugging her head. Téa smiled.

"He's a great kid, Téa. You really did well with him."

"Yeah, but I'll have to wait till he's a teenager and making good choices. Then we can really praise my raising skills. When the door bell rang Téa got up and went to sit near her son and his grandmother, Cole turned and faced her, this bright smile on his face, Téa brushed back his blond/brown locks and asked for a kiss, he obliged and kissed her squarely on the cheek. Smiling Téa pulled her son to her and sat right on the sofa and her eyes widen in shock when she saw her mother and father standing near the tree.

"Mom… Dad." She stood up and walked over to her father, ignoring her mother. She hugged him with one arm while holding onto Cole.

"Well look at him, I take this to be my grandson."

"Your one and only, because I'll be damned if I go through that pain again." She smiled and Cole held out a hand and pressed it flat against her father's mouth.

"He's one?"

"Yep."

"What was his first word?" Téa shied on the subject.

"Well… dad, he hasn't said anything just, but he's a scholar on babble." He gave her a serious look. "I'm taking him to the doctor as soon as I get an appointment, but you should see him walk, he's getting really good, less and less falling, made it all the way to this living room by himself before toppling over."

"Well, that is good." He pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"Cole, this is Grandma and Grandpa." She handed her son over to her mother, who took the little boy, smiling she held him close, saying hello's. Téa made her way over to Aki who was standing with his wife. "May I ask why my parents are here?"

"It would seem that you weren't just keeping my mother and father away from their grandchild, but yours as well. I got a call from your father asking about the physical appearance of there grandchild, whether it was a boy or a girl."

"Well… Aki… I would have preferred them to still wonder. Whether you know this or it slipped your mind, I was thrown out of my house because I was carrying that child. I think they deserve to wonder eternally."

"Now you're just being harsh."

"Didn't stop them from being harsh." She shook her head. "Forget it, I guess it's good they are here. They can see their grandson and he can have more than just me and my really family in his life." Suddenly Cole began crying and Téa went over to them. She took her son in her hold and brought his head to rest on his shoulders. She lifted the baby bag on the floor and went to the bathroom her mother followed her.

Téa opened the door and switched on the light, she walked over sink and pulled out a blanket from the bag. "Mom… could you hold him for a second?" The screaming child went to her mother's arms and Téa unfolded the blanket and laid it on the ground. She pulled out a fresh diaper out then turned to receive her son.

"Did you take classes?"

"Plenty. You know… being a single mom and everything, not a lot of help and harder than it looks, best to be prepared." She laid Cole on his back and unhooked the straps of his overalls. She smiled and nosed the crying child as she pulled them down and prepared to change the diaper.

"Well, you're good with him."

"That's what people tell me. You hear a lot of compliments and suddenly you're looking for one complaint."

"Well… I have a few."

"Is it about being an early mother? Save it, I've had all those lectures all ready." She watched her daughter finish up and pull the overalls back up and hook them together.

"Where are you staying?"

"With a multimillionaire who is… the best. He took me in knowing about my situation and not caring to much about the fact that I was having a child that was in no way related to him."

"Him?"

"Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaiba Corporation. A gaming company if you will." She took Cole by his little hands and pulled him up and onto her stomach; she lifted him high and kissed his button nose. She handed him back to her mother and cleaned up the mess. She placed the blanket back in the bag and zipped it up, washing her hands when she was finished.

"Your son isn't going to start thinking he's the father… will he?"

"Cole sees Aki often, I doubt Cole with start calling Seto Daddy." She looked at her watch and she gasped. "Jeez, it's actually late. I have to get home. Mom, this was okay. Maybe we can get together some other time, you and me, Cole and daddy. Sound okay?"

"Perfect." Her mother smiled and Téa went out of the bathroom, her mother flicking off the light.

"Cole, wave bye to daddy and grandparents alike." She placed Cole in his father's arms and waited till everyone kissed the lovable child farewell. When she got him back she waved goodbye and went to gather hers and Cole's shoes.

It took about an hour for Téa to get back to the Kaiba Mansion. She was tapping her locket when she parked in the driveway. He was a good man, he maybe made her mad, but he just wasn't sure how to deal, all he had to deal with was his brother and the people in the mansion. He could be cruel to outsiders; she was the first one to get in. She was lucky, to have his strange affection. She got out of the car and then got Cole, she locked up the car and made her way to the porch. She grabbed her keys and unlocked the door. She walked inside and vocally shivered, believing everyone had already gone to bed. She was surprised when she found Kaiba sitting on the sofa, holding the scarf she had bought for him and another present wrapped up, held in his hand. She walked over to him and set Cole down. Cole waddled over quickly to Kaiba and dropped his hands flat on his knees. Kaiba sort of looked at the boy and placed the flat wrapped gift in front of him. Cole grinned and laughed, taking hold of the gift, his tiny little fingers wrapping around it and Cole fell onto his backside. He giggled and began to tear open the wrapping. Téa smiled as he pulled away the wrapping till she could see the hard cover book. It was brightly colored.

"You got that for Cole?"

"Well… he does live here. You both are sort of family. Lived here long enough." He stood up and climbed over the toddler who was flipping pages, he stood directly in front of her, and he looked down at her, those amazingly beautiful eyes piercing her right to her heart and soul. She felt all prickly as he stared at her, not saying a word, hands in the pockets of his jeans. Such a casual guy when he wanted to be. "Téa… I screwed up. I made you feel, I don't know… angry. I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'm always wrong when it comes to you; I always seem to find a way to create a drift between us. I say one thing but my actions must cause you to think I don't mean it. I can't ask you to forgive me, not unless you really do. But I would like you to condone my words. I'm not a great guy, I'm the bad guy."

"Seto you… aren't a bad guy. You're confused and you like to walk around with blinders on, meaning that you'd rather see what's been there all the time, Mokuba, your company and so on. Maybe it's hard for you to completely accept Cole and me in your life."

"No. That can't be, 'cause I've already accepted that part. I'm stubborn."

"And self-involved and indifferent and distant and… It's all a part of you! I don't mind that. Seto Kaiba… I'll take the good with the bad, but only if its you and if you'll do the same for me."

"Kiss!" Cole cried out and they both looked over at Cole who had his hands pressed to his lips, he flung his arms out and made that smacking sound when couples kissed.

"Cole! Cole you said your first real word… not what I wanted you to say, but I'll take it…" she began to make her way towards him but was seized by both arms and spun around, he smirked at her.

"I believe the kid told us to do something."

"Since when do you take orders, especially from children?"

"Since you." He smiled. "Don't end the kiss so quickly this time." He bent in and pressed his lips softly to her. She inhaled deeply; she could smell his cool and crisp cologne. Her arms encircled his neck and she closed the gap between them. His hands pressed against the back of her head and the small of her neck, deepening the kiss when she got on the tips of her toes and tilted her head back.
