Honestly… I've never really be sure what was so great about this story… but I've made it longer and I put some prts I'm not even a fan of, but since it's coming to an end I just threw it in. Makes the story get a new twist before it closes. So enjoy and if not… don't tell me. I only take creative criticism so if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. Ah that Trumper's mum was quite wise.

Here you go, next chapter, longer than any chapter I've put up there…. I think…

She was a mother again, she had two beautiful twins, a little girl and a little boy. She was happy, she thought of Cole and smiled, he was dead… yes, but he was still a big brother. She touched the locket that Seto had given her… the day at the hospital after Cole. She missed her son and it was an empty feeling, but she had a new son and a new daughter and she was a married woman this time, to Seto Kaiba, Gaming Champion, CEO of Kaiba Corp. and it just proved that he wasn't Seto Kaiba, the man who couldn't love. The door opened to her hospital room and she looked up from her pendent and smiled. "I'm so glad you're here, thank you." she opened her arms briefly and then let them fall against her lap. It was just Joey. He had a bouquet of assorted flowers in one hand and he smiled at her. "Where's everybody else?"

"I came alone." he said softly handing her the flowers and pulling up a chair to the side of her bed and sitting down, legs spread and resting his elbows on the top of his legs. She buried her nose in the buds of the colorful flowers and then rested them on the tabletop on the other side of the bed. The light from the outside lit up the entire single room. "Where's da hubby?" he wondered, pressing his sneaker into the cold hard floor.

"Why do you care?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Just doh want 'im kicken me out is all." he said, interlocking his fingers together, avoiding her gaze.

"How's your nose?" he looked at her now, his honey-brown eyes widen with shock. "Yeah, I heard about it, that and Seto's face was rather… bruised." she turned her gaze from him and he looked down. Seto was her husband now and he was suppose to show Kaiba respect, even if it was just for her. "You're hot headed, Joey and rather blunt with your mouth. Some things are better left out of Seto's ears."

"Is dhat how he's trained ja?" he shot back, getting heated. He hated Seto Kaiba, that was just the way it was… even if the girl he had been friends with for a long time and went through countless adventures with was married to the bastard, there was nothing to change how he felt about the cold-hearted billionaire.

"NO!" she yelled, that was a mistake, she clenched and pressed her hand against her chest. Joey stood and hovered over her, asking if she was all right. "I'm fine…" she relaxed and looked him straight in the eyes. "Seto is my husband, the father of my children and… maybe you all found out too late, but he was there with me through the biggest events of my life. I love him, Joseph, I… me, Téa… love Seto Kaiba, the guy who had given us hell for the longest time… but that's over. He loves me in return… okay… I've never had that. Not with Yami… not with Aki… not with anyone but him… and he helped me raise Cole for as long as my angel lived… he took me in when my parents tossed me out, gave me shelter, food, clothing." she was weeping now and Joey felt awful, he didn't mean to upset her so. Téa was very dear to him, the closet he's been to a girl since Serenity and next to Mai.

"Téa I…" but he was cut off, the door had opened and he turned to see the one person in the world he loathed more than anything that could be put on the planet. Seto tensed but he didn't say anything, they looked at one another for a moment and Joey looked back at Téa. "I'm sorry, I'll go." she wiped her tears with her fingers and nodded.

"I think that's best." she confirmed and he nodded and left the room, evading Kaiba as best he could tell he was clear from the room. Seto shut the door and made his way over to his wife.

"What did he say… was it something he did?"

Téa shook her head and reached out her arms for her husband and he took her hands and sat in the chair Joey had just occupied moments ago. "Just know that you're very important to me." he smirked his classic, could-kill-you smirk and he kissed the knuckles of each of her hands.

"Same for me, you've become a larger part of my life and I want you to know that even though Kaiba Corp is my blood… I'll be there for you and Damon and Ora." she nodded, sniffling.

"I know that, Seto… you'll be an amazing father."

"Only because I have an amazing wife as the mother of my children." she suddenly noticed the blush creeping along his face and she hide a grin. Seto still wasn't use to saying such… lovey sayings. He had also been made of steel and suddenly the last woman he suspected make him soften. He never attended to get married or have a family. Mokuba was correct in saying that Seto did want to try that father thing, raising an heir for his company… because he knew it really wasn't something Mokuba wanted, no matter how smart his kid brother way. "So…" he started casually enough, "can I issue a restraining order against the mutt?" she swatted his arm, laughing.

"Seto! No!" he pulled back and huffed. She reached out her hand and brushed his bangs back and smiled at him.

"How are you doing?"

"I feel good." her eyes closed then and she laid her head back against the pillows.

"Are you sure, don't lie to me, Téa. If you don't feel well, tell me." she opened one eye to peek at him.

"You worry too much." she said, yawning. Just then there was a knock on the door. Seto wanted to tell who was ever behind that door to just leave but it was a hospital and Téa's health was at steak or at least he believed so. He told the mystery guest that they could come in and the door slowly opened, the nurse poking her head instead, long black hair cascaded down and she smiled.

"Mrs. Kaiba, would you like to see the twins today?" she wondered, all cheery. Téa opened both eyes and leaned forward, her own beautiful smile growing on her lips. She nodded and reached for her husband's hand, squeezing it lightly to express her enthusiasm. He lightly smiled at her, it was almost unnoticeable, if one didn't look hard enough, but he knew she would see it. She saw everything, even into the depths of his soul. His heart, the one people claimed he didn't have, even he acknowledged that he had no heart, but this woman, this woman who had been his neutral enemy, to the girl in his class to the girl who lived in his house pregnant with another man's child. She was a mother, then a lover, now a wife and mother to his children, she had awaken his heart, revived it and brought it beating. He loved Mokuba, but his kid brother had not waken his heart like Téa had. "I'll be back with them momentarily." the nurse said and departed, closing the door.

"I get to see my babies, Seto." she leaned close to him and he leaned to meet her lips with his own. He loved kissing her and loved it even more when she kissed him first, it made him feel like she still loved him, would keep loving him. As long as she kissed him first it made him feel like they would never part. She laid back against the hospital bed and closed her eyes again.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm just tried, Seto."

"You'll want be awake for the children." he said, bringing his hand up, the side of his forefinger brushing away a stray tear. She slowly nodded her head, her hair brushing against her cheeks as she did so. "Really, what did Wheeler say to you?"

"It doesn't matter, he won't say it again, so everything is fine." he grasped her by the side.

"Don't do that Téa, don't shut me out."

"I have to when it comes to Joey. One of these days one of you is going to kill the other, or maybe you'll both be killed. I just want you two to stay away from one another?"

"I'm your husband and he's a part of your life." he lowered his head, finally feeling the jealously he had never had before when it came to Téa and her male friends, maybe he felt once or twice when Yami or whoever the hell he was came back from Egypt, but now it was stinging him and it wasn't what he wanted to feel.

"If you're suggesting what I think you are, change it. Seto Kaiba, you're the only man I want, like it or not." he laughed then, looking at her scornful face and he caught her face between his hands and kissed her.

"Oh, I love you, Mrs. Kaiba." he kissed her on the mouth and she furrowed her brow, lips still pressed and face squished between his large hands. She cold feel the coldness of his wedding band against her hot flesh. "I very much like that I'm the only one you want." There again was the knock and the door opened once again. The nurse from before was wheeling in the children. One was writhing and the other fast asleep."

"Young Mr. Kaiba here is quiet the sleeper." Seto reached in and lifted his daughter, who cooed and sighed. He smiled down at his daughter and then careful transferred her to her mother. Téa cradled her baby in her arms and smiled down at her. She said her daughter's name softly, staring into tiny orbs of blue, stunning, brighter than Kaiba's eyes or her own. She brushed knuckles gently against her forehead, soft brown hairs caressed against her fingers. "She looks like you." the nurse said, admiring the view of mother and daughter.

"She looks like us." Téa corrected, looking at Seto. He smiled warmly at her, the smile the nurse never saw or would see. Téa took Seto's hand and placed it over Ora. Their little girl reached up and encircled her father's finger with her tiny hand. The women grinned and Seto fought a smile. "Please smile always for our children." she said and Seto looked at her.

"I will, Téa. I will."

Seto had to make his way to work and Téa kissed him good-bye and closed her eyes, trying to let the darkness claim her. She would stay for Seto, but sometimes her body just wanted her to rest. She would rest her eyes and her tried body and hold tight to the locket Seto had given her. She moved her lips, forming his name. "Cole. My baby. I know you're here." she didn't open her eyes, but tears seeped from their sealed containers and she drew in a breath. She didn't hear the knock or the opening door. She didn't hear the rustle of the curtains from the window or the light fading in her room. Joey had come back, figuring the corporate man would be gone. Téa was fast asleep by now, breathing gentle breaths and turning lightly in the adjustable bed. He closed the door and came to sit by her beside, touching lightly at her wrist and feeling her steady pulse. He figured he loved Mai and would always love her, they were perfect for one another, both hotheaded and headstrong. But a part of him, his past before Mai made him stay with Téa, the wife of his arch nemesis. How these two, so different had come together was beyond him. Kaiba didn't deserve a girl like Téa. He dissevered instead to die in his own venom with his blinded bother at his deathbed. But Joey was never one to get the lucky side of a shining penny, instead he was condemned to watch as Kaiba got "the life"

Téa's breath was soft and steady and he wondered why she had always been such a heavy sleeper and often got away with things he didn't dare ever reveal to her. Like stealing kisses and such. He wouldn't d so now, he loved Mai as he had mentioned to himself, but Téa was now Taboo, further than ever before now that she and Seto were married. Kissing the wife of Kaiba would make him see red in a whole new shade. Joey didn't need that hate, he would end up encountering a bullet from Kaiba's .45. If the wealth bastard carried weapons of the sort, it wouldn't ever be settled over a round of duel monsters, that was for sure. So why did he do it?

He didn't mean to take the daring move, kissing a married woman whilst she slept. Her lips did not respond to his, they never did, but he didn't blame her, she was asleep and so there was no rejection. "Seto." she said his name under her breath and snuggled in the pillow, smiling at the name she had just called out. He leaned back in the chair, his hand caressing her long, soft arm and he stopped. He should leave and get back to Mai. The girl wanted to marry him and he loved her, wanted her for his wife too, Téa, he figured was just a crush always had been, probably always would be. Her eyes fluttered open and she turned her head to him, looking at his hand and then his eyes.

"Did I wake ya?" he wondered, smiling shyly at her and taking his hand away and she shook her head.

"I was dreaming again."

"'bout Kaiba?"

"It was a beautiful wedding." she admitted, touching her eye and then yawning, stretching in the bed and he turned his face away from her. She didn't say anything about the kiss, most likely had not felt it. But she had dreamed of Seto and awaken to her friends touch and presence. She flushed, red in the cheeks and scooted up in the bed.

"Wha?" he said and she shook her head.

"Da dream wasn't 'bout no wedding, huh?" he laughed at her and she frowned.

"Joey Wheeler." she chided and he came onto the bed, sitting on its edge and smiled.

"Come on, Téa, it's my right to mock you. So Mr. High and mighty as mighty as girls think?"

"Joey!" she pushed him away and he laughed.

"Dhat at personal, it's my soul right to warn ladies away from a failure."

"Shut it!" she shot, giggling and leaning forward. He took her hands in his.

"Mai says I'mma hell of a kisser."

"I'm sure you are." she laughed and he shook his hand at her.

"Na, na… I'm serious. I can prove it."

"I'm not ready for Mai just yet. The thought of her cooing on about me and the newborns is going to be bearing."

"I'mma tell her ya said dhat."

"Go ahead." she folded her arms, snatching them away from Joey. He leaned at her, tilting his body and catching her by the mouth, kissing her while she didn't sleep. She was in shock, not sure if this was a joke or if she was still asleep. Joey applied a little more pressure to her lips, bruising them under their weight. She tried to pull back, but he held her by the shoulders. She was trapped between him and the pillows. His lips moved over her, breathing her in, she could feel his smile, his soft, warm breath against her mouth. Mai and Joey were right, he was a hell of a kisser. Feeling though he made his point, she pushed him off and laughed like it was a joke, but adding firmly for him not to try that again. Joey laughed and nodded his sandy blond head and sat up.

"You take good care of yourself, okay, Téa?" she nodded, wiping her mouth. He waved goodbye and left the room. She was glad he was gone and upset that he had pulled a stunt like that. As she had mentioned, Seto was all she wanted. Yami and Aki far from her mind. Joey was always a kidder. She knew that and she suddenly missed her husband and she quickly grabbed the phone on the desk and dialed Seto's cell number. Waiting whilst it rang… and rang and… rang. She hung up after Mokuba's voice message. She sighed and paged a nurse.

"Mrs. Kaiba? Are you Alright?" she asked when she stepped inside.

"I'm worried."

"Mrs. Kaiba, I assure you… you can talk to me." Téa smiled, she put one fist in her hand and bowed her head.

"I don't think I'll ever get use to being called 'Mrs. Kaiba'."

"You two seem to love each other." she came and sat down, touching her glasses and smiling warmly and it gave Téa some comfort.

"I haven't told Seto… but there is a pain in my chest and within my stomach. It's hurts ever thirty seconds… I've counted." she confessed. They looked at each other and the doctor smiled.

"We'll run a few more tests and check you again, but I assure you that you are quiet all right." she touched her shoulder and then left. Téa lied back and closed her eyes. She would wait for Seto to come and visit her.
