Due to the fact that I do not own Yu-gi-oh I am required to say that I make no such claim.

I believe this was what you reviewers were asking for, so here is the latest chapter.

Mokuba sat on the sofa a book held by his small hands. Téa was coming home tonight, she was well enough to leave the hospitable to return. All Seto had told him was that there had been a car accident that both Téa and Cole had been involved in. He asked if they were okay, the outcome of the crash had been that Téa had survived but Cole had not. Tragedy struck in the places it had no right too. There was nothing Mokuba could do, nothing the doctors could have done! He hated this feeling of helplessness, He slammed the book down and stood walking to the windows, and he pulled open the curtain and could see the limo driving up. All he wanted now was to be there for his friend, this girl who had looked out and helped and cared for him long before she could even stand the reclusive Seto Kaiba. Mokuba would do anything for Téa if she needed him. But what help could he really be when all she would ask for is Cole return, his return to her arms so that she could hold him tightly in her embrace.

Mokuba went outside just as Seto was helping Téa out of the car, her body leaning on his for support, she looked pale and thin. Mokuba's heart went out to her when her blue eyes were sparkling with tears. Seto looked forlorn as he helped his girlfriend inside of the mansion. Téa was seated on the sofa and Mokuba fell into her arms. "I'm so sorry, Téa! I'm so very sorry." Her eyes pinched closed and she held the boy close. Whimpering and trying not to shed anymore tears. She wanted to cry until there was no cry left in her. Seto pulled them apart and looked down at his brother.

"Help me in the kitchen, Mokuba." Mokuba nodded and Téa leaned back, tears sliding involuntarily down here face. Mokuba decided that she must've felt like her heart could have burst at any moment, but he reluctantly followed his big brother into the kitchen. When they were alone Mokuba was unexpectedly caught up in his brother's strong arms. "Forgive me any offense I have ever caused you." Mokuba pushed down on his brother's arms to make him let go.

"You've been the best brother anyone can ask for, I know Cole's death is effective, but you don't need to do this. I know." Seto smiled thinly at his brother, who even at the loss of a child seemed so wise, so strong. "Can I talk with Téa alone?"

"Go ahead, but bring her this." He gave him a cup of warm tea and Mokuba nodded, taking it between his hands and carrying it out to Téa who was staring up at the ceiling. He set the cup on the table and sat next to her. She didn't look at him, not for a long time so he sat next to her in silence until she finally spoke to him.

"Looking back, I think the doctors should have written a death certificate for me as well as my son, because when he died a part of me died as well." She let out a breath she seemed to be holding back and Mokuba stared at her with his blue eyes filled with pain. "They told me he was gone, that my son was dead, but don't they know? He's right here, in my broken and aching heart and it hurts so bad Mokuba. Why am I telling you this? No one understands. Not one person can see that… I'm suffering so deeply. Why couldn't it be me, I would trade places with Cole in a heartbeat just so…" She stopped. "Go away." She said softly.

"Téa…"

"Please. I don't want to talk about this." He nodded and moved to take her hand but she shrunk at his touch and heartbroken himself he left. Just as Mokuba was climbing the stairs Seto came to her. She looked up at him briefly before sobbing. "I can't I can't stay here, take me to my parents… please, Seto, please." He'd do anything she asked if it could ease the pain even if it was only for a fleeting moment. Helping her back up he took her back to the limo and they drove to her parents' home and they took her into their embrace as she crumbled.

"If you need me…"

"I'll call." She promised slipping her hands into him and giving him a brief, tender kiss.


Téa settled into the house and she refused to talk even to her parents about this, but her dearest and closet friends came anyways. Joey and Yugi and Tristan They sat with her, staring as if this could get her to open up, but she wouldn't budge at least not until Yugi took gentle hold of her hands.

Sobbing she began "I don't understand how this all happens. How we go through this. I mean, he was my son, and then he's, there's just a body, and I don't understand why he just can't get back in it and not be dead anymore. It's stupid. It's mortal and stupid. And, and I'm trying not to cry and not talk, and, and I was thinking about how much Cole loved fruit punch, and I thought, well, Cole will never have any more fruit punch ever, and he'll never have eggs, or yawn or brush his hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why!" She screamed and Joey collected the sobbing brunette into his arms.

"This isn't fair Téa, you're so right, this should have never happened, but it did and you have to know we love you and no matter how long it takes we're going to come out of it just fine." She wanted to hit him; she wanted to hit them all when they nodded in agreement. How would it be all right! How would it be just fine, how could see get through this and why? She wanted to hit them; she wanted to hit them until they felt as bad as she did. A mother should never ever be unable to protect her child and Téa had failed miserable. But she wouldn't ever fail her child again, she squeezed her eyes shut and let one hand that was resting on Joey's shoulder blade to rest on her stomach.

"I'm pregnant." She breathed. Joey pulled away and stared wide-eyed at her as did the other two.

"You are… how… I mean, I know how… Who, is the appropriate question." She stared at them; this was the time to tell them. She wanted everything to be clean between them all.

"Ever since I got pregnant with Cole I've been living with Kaiba and we've been a couple ever since." They gawked at her. She reached out to them. "You have to understand. I'm in love with him and this is the result of our love." She placed both hands on her stomach and Joey's eyes grew dark and Téa grew concerned.

Shaking a fist, and speaking completely seriously, Joey stated, "Money bags just better take care of you, unlike that ungrateful Aki Ueda!" For the first time since the tragic event Téa laughed heartedly. She hugged him and kissed him on the forehead.

"I love you guys. You're my best friends." She felt more hot tears slip down from her eyes and suddenly they were in what was affectingly and pathetical known as the group-hug.
