Sorry, I never even gave decorating the tree a thought. I did give one vauge refernece to it earlier. I'll go back and try to see if I can fit in in somewhere. It was just one of the things that never crossed my mind. But I should have done something with it. I've still got to do a new chapter andthen I'll let find a place for the tree and let you know what chapter. Between this and Seto's Wish2 I need to get to work but its hard not to be lazy and just read Gravitation!


Seto and Yami were trying to figure out why the kids weren't there yet, when Heather walked in.

"My king, Princess Jasmine wished me to inform you that her sister Queen Diana is here."

Seto had almost forgotten about her. Due to the holidays most of the staff was off. Which meant he had few choices. He didn't like the one choice that was popping out at him.

"Seto while you see to that I'll check to see what's taking the kids so long."

"Fine."

Yami walked up the stairs and then froze hearing Mokuba's yelps and Maura yelling at him it only hurts the more he fights her. Remembering his last vision he shuddered. He shook his head. No! They were way too young for that. But the more noises he heard the more nervous he was. Finally he gets the courage and turns to look in Mokuba's room. He was shocked and relived that Maura was only brushing Mokuba's hair.

Maura looked up, "Oh hi big brother. Is something wrong?"

Mokuba pulled the vest to cover the belt.

"I was just worried, we've been waiting for you downstairs for breakfast." Yami said.

"Oh I'm sorry. I got Mokuba this cool outfit and wanted to see him in it. Then he gave me this ribbon." Maura said holding it up. "Then I decided his hair needed some serious brushing. I didn't realize we were that late."

"It's alright."

Maura then remembered the belt, "Oh, I insisted that he finish his belt and I got this outfit just for it."

Yami frowned then looked at Mokuba. "You never told us that you were making a belt. Can I see it?"

Mokuba shook his head no, surprising Yami.

Maura shook her head and got up and walked in front of Mokuba. "Don't feel bad, big brother. He's just scared you'll be mad and take it away from him."

Yami smiled, "We wouldn't take it away from you, Mokuba. It's yours."

Before Mokuba could respond or try to take off the belt Maura grabbed his hand and pulled him up and turned him to face Yami.

Yami's eyes went wide seeing the bracelet. He smiled and was shaking slightly, confusing the kids as to what was wrong. He dropped to his knees and looked at the bracelet and now he knew for sure it was the real thing. "Why didn't you tell us? Where was it?"

"I k-kept it w-with Anzu."

"I thought you kept seashells in there."

"I d-do. B-but I k-keep other things there too."

"He was afraid to tell you." Maura said. "He was afraid you'd be mad he never told you."

Yami smiled. "No, kiddo. I'm not mad. I'm surprised. When Seto showed me you had his necklace we both thought that…"

Mokuba couldn't understand what this had to do with Anzu's necklace. He remembered Seto telling him that he gave that to him when he was taken away. "W-what are you t-talking about big brother?"

"We never told you this because we didn't want to upset you if you didn't have it or your sisters took it."

"T-tell me what?"

"Well when we first learned that our father was going to take you away, I wanted to give you something, something that hopefully someday would help us to find you again. I had a bracelet that belonged to my mother. I put it in the bottom of your baby bag, then Seto chose to put in his necklace."

"Why didn't you just ask him if he had it and explained this? I'm sure he would have told you." Maura said.

"We were afraid. After everything we went through. After losing him twice and screwing up it seemed at every turn, we were afraid that if he didn't have it, it'd upset him. The last thing in this world we wanted was to upset him."

"S-so y-you gave me this?" Mokuba asked.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I guess we should have told you."

Mokuba smiled and threw his arms around Yami's neck. Now he felt closer to Yami, knowing this bracelet belong to him.

Yami was slightly taken back by this but just hugged back, tightly.

"So, you forgive me then?"

Mokuba only hugged tighter.

"I'm glad now, that I insisted that he finish the belt and made him wear it." Maura said.

Yami kept one arm tightly around Mokuba and held out his other for Maura who ran over and hugged him too.

Seto meanwhile had decided to give Asana a chance. He didn't have a lot of options at this point. He walked up to her assigned door and the guard, Connor jumped up.

"M-my king? Is something wrong?"

"At ease, everything's fine. Find another guard that needs the overtime. For the moment you and he will be reassigned to a couple of visiting princesses."

"Yes, sir." Connor said going off to find another guard.

Seto knocked on the door.

Asana answered and was surprised. "May I ask as to what I owe the honor? Has Noah returned or something?" Asana asked, assuming that'd be the only reason for Seto's being there.

"No, as a matter of fact I need you. With it being the holidays most of the staff is out. That leaves very few. So I'm going to trust you. Heather?"

Heather had been hiding and watching to see what Seto would do. She didn't think he knew she was there. She quickly moved over to him dragging another maid with her. "Yes, my king?"

"I need you to help Asana here, learn what is expected of her when caring for visiting royalty."

"Yes, sir. Sir, one had a small baby with her. This is Melissa she like Asana is still fairly new. She's only been here since just after Thanksgiving. I was hoping that perhaps you would allow me to let her help and it would help by training both together."

"Fine, just do it. I don't want to hear any complaints or the lot of you are fired. Do I make myself clear?"

They all bowed and nodded. "Yes, my king." Heather said.

"Good, be sure she has all she needs in the room directly across from Princess Jasmine's, in the north tower. You're dismissed." Seto said leaving.

"Are you sure this is a good idea, Heather? What do I know of caring for a baby?" Melissa asked.

"About the same as I do." Heather said. "Next to nothing."

"In that case, let me handle it. I remember a little from when JJ, was small." Asana said. "Plus I have done some babysitting and caring for other peoples children in the past. I think I can handle it."

Heather was a little weary about it, since Seto didn't seem to trust her. But she felt there wasn't another choice. She knew more about babies than either of them.

"All right, but please don't screw this up for us. The kings been in such good spirits lately that we don't want to rock the boat." Heather said.

"Don't worry about anything. I promise everything will be fine."

"I hope so." Heather said.

"Perhaps we should hurry and get the room fixed up before the king finds out we're standing here talking instead of doing our jobs." Melissa said.

"Yes, let's do it."

Seto walked into the dinning room for breakfast to find Yami standing there, looking a lot more happy and excited than he had when he left him. "Okay who are you and what did you do with my brother?"

"Ha, Ha very funny Seto. I have a surprise."

"You know I don't like surprises."

"You'll love this one." Yami said and moved and pushed Mokuba forward.

Seto smiled. "That's a nice outfit kid."

"T-thanks, M-Maura gave it to me."

"Look closely at the belt he made." Yami said.

Seto looked and his eyes went wide. "Yami, is that?"

Yami smiled. "Yes, its my bracelet. The one I gave to him. He was afraid we'd take it away from him so he never told us."

"Well at least we no longer have any loose ends. We officially have everything in place. "He has my necklace and your bracelet. Even if the millennium rod hadn't told us for a fact, I'd say this would have been proof that he's our brother."

Yami hugged the boy tight. "Yes, now lets eat, so this little one can spend the rest of the day opening presents."

Mokuba giggled, figuring they were joking, not realizing that it was probably true.

Soon they were sitting down to eat. Though it was tough not to just scarf it down.
