Chapter Four

It has been two months since Joey announced that he was pregnant and now was in Kabia Corp.'s Medical Center waiting for both Seto and Dr. Barns to arrive. Today would be his first sonogram and he was scared and excited at the same time. He was not alone in the room; Yugi, Ryou and Malik had accompanied him. The three of them have finally forgave their Yamis but it took a lot and groveling and begging. Joey found the idea of Bakura and Marik groveling and begging funny but he was glad that everyone was happy again because being pregnant made him a ticking time bomb of emotion and he would go off over the littlest things. He was also having feeling of dread again but he thought nothing of it because he thought it was due to the pregnancy.

After waiting for ten minutes Seto rushed into the room. He was winded because he had just ran up five flights of stairs because e didn't want to wait for the elevator and also because he was late and he wanted to get there and not to kept Joey waiting. Lately he would cry over anything and he didn't want to upset Joey. When he entered the room he saw that Joey was not alone.

"Aren't you three due somewhere else?" He asked annoyed.

"No, we have turned our papers in early so our professor gave us the next two weeks off. So we brought Joey here since you were to busy with something else." Malik said. He was still upset over Marik going behind his back and making Joey pregnant and now Kabia stating that they didn't belong there at least they were there for Joey.

"Ishtar you are pushing there. If I were you I would back down now because I don't have time for you."

"That's apparent when we have to bring Joey to his doctor's appointment because you weren't there to bring him. So when will you have the time."

"Malik be quite" Yugi warned.

"I'm here that's all that matters now if you three don't mind please leave before I make you. I'm sorry that I was late and thank you for bring Joey here. I would like all three of you to leave before I lose my temper. I'm being civil since you are friends to Joey but I don't know how long I can last."

Ryou and Yugi nodded and they dragged Malik who was cursing but no one could understand a word that he said. Seto sat down and let out a sigh. He didn't mean to lash out at the trio that just left but he was angry at Imaging Art Industries because they were to merge with Kabia Corp. but they were not sure that a young CEO would be the way to go and also being gay and married was also not in his favor. He wanted to kick the crap out of them but instead of yelling and screaming at them he took it out on those who were close to Joey.

Joey was that Seto was streamed about something and he was going to find out but before he could the door opened and Dr. Barns walked in.

"How are you doing today Joseph?"

Joey hated being called his real name he liked Joey but he let it go. "I'm fine but I cry a lot and I mean a lot and sometimes I can get really mad beside that I fine. Oh yeah I'm also eating strange concoctions but Seto says that's due to the pregnancy."

"He's right and you being sad one mounted and mad another is normal it's called mood swings. Woman go through this when they are pregnant it is because there hormones are changing because they are carrying a new life within them like you are."

"I'm not a woman so how can I have those hormones inside of me?" Joey asked fearing that he was turning into a woman.

"I'm not sure. I really not sure how you got pregnant in the first place so all I can tell you is that you body is changing to help you carry your child. Speaking of your child how about we see how it is doing."

Seto walked over to Joey and held his hand as Dr. Barns pulled Joey's shirt up and placed the gel on his stomach. She then placed the Doppler on his stomach and after a few seconds this sound filled the room.

"The sound that you are hearing is the heart beat of your child. The beat is good and strong which means that your child is strong and healthily. Now let's get at good look at your child."

"Dr. Barns when can we know the sex of our child?" Joey asked.

"It's too soon right now in about four to five weeks from now you will know the sex of your child." She took the Doppler off Joey's stomach and put more gel on his stomach and now she used the instrument to view the baby. She waited for the images to come up on the screen. "Okay let's see here. Okay here is your child."

"I don't see it do you Seto?"

"No." Seto said trying to understand what he was seeing.

"That's okay that's why I'm here." She said. "Right here is the head and here are the hands and down here are the feet and the genital like I said have not made themselves known but in about five weeks we should know the sex of your little one. All I can tell you right now that you have a healthy baby. Okay I will schedule another routine examination in three weeks so I know how you are doing. If you feel weird in any what Joseph you call my cell at any hour. Mr. Kabia if you notice any weird behavior you call me as well. Okay let me get you some wipes so you can clean yourself up with. Here you go." She gave Joey the wipes.

"What do you mean weird behavior?" Seto asked

"Well Joseph can became depresses. He could become very volatile and could injure himself, the baby, or others. I don't know how pregnancy will be on his body since he is male. I don't want to scare you but give the information to you so will have it in case something should happen." She smiled and let herself out.

Seto helped Joey clean himself off and they let the exam room and tool the elevator down to the garage and they drove home in silence for a while.

"Seto are you okay today? I know you didn't mean to be late and I'm not mad but why did you attack Malik like that?"

"He attacked me first. I didn't want to be late but those idiots at Imaging Arts are now thinking of backing out of their contract because I'm too you and g- because I'm too young."

"You're lying Seto I know because you'll stalling what aren't you telling me. Please let me in so I can help."

"Look it's nothing and it is something that you can not fix even I can't fix it. Let it go Joey if they pull out there are others I can merge with. Lets get you home so you can lie down for awhile."

"Is it because you married me that they are pulling out, am I the cause behind them pulled out of their contract?" Tears were in Joey's eyes.

Seto pulled the car over and turned it off and turned Joey's face to his. "Joey you are not the reason. They are idiots and they can't get over the idea that people can love who they want and marry who they want. There are other businesses that are run by people that have common sense so I want you to stop worrying about it and tomorrow I will personally call Malik to apologize for my actions." He wiped the tears from Joey's face and kissed him. He started the car on they were on their way home.

Joey still felt bad but he was tried and fell asleep as Seto drove them home.

(Scene Change: Duke's Basement)

Duke had made the arrangements. He was on track and those idiots didn't even know that there was an asp in there group. One of those idiots was going to lead him deeper into the group and all he had to due was pretend that he liked her. Tea was his way in and she didn't even know it. He heard a knock on his door. He went upstairs and locked to door to his basement.

He opened the door and low and behold was the Tea right on time. He smiled at her because he knew that soon she would ask if he could come over to the others houses he would use her to get deeper into the group and once he was firmly strike but he would also have fun hurting others while he waited. He grabbed his coat and they headed out so he could seduce her and gain her trust because she was the one that loved to preach about friendship and how that would back fire in her and the others.

(Scene Change: Unknown Person's Room)

"Yes the funds are here and here is his picture let's get out there and find him." He said to the other two. They dresses in black and they headed out looking for the boy in the picture and they would do what had to be done since they got paid already.

(Scene Change: Trio Walking Home)

"I can't believe that Kabia would kick us out. We are Joey's friends we should have been there too." Malik said.

"Yes, but our Yamis did betray Joey's trust and made him pregnant without his knowledge so I can see why Kabia kicked us out." Ryou said trying to calm his friend.

"I know that Ryou please don't bring that back up I still make at Marik for that. I need to think for awhile you guys go on I need time alone."

"You sure?" Yugi asked.

"Yes now go or I'll beat the stuffing out of both of you. If you see Marik tell him I'll be home soon." Malik said and headed towards the park.

He was mad at Marik and he hoped that soon he could get past that but he didn't know how. Yugi and Ryou had found a way to forgive their Yamis why couldn't he. Before he knew it his pondering lead him to some empty ally way and into trouble. The three in black were waiting for him.

He tried to run but the bigger of the three grabbed him and held his arms while the other two took turns using him as a punching bag. He screamed but no one heard. There were a couple cracks and he knew that his ribs were broke. He was dropped to the ground and all three of them took turns kicking him. He knew that no one would hear him so he linked to Marik.

/Marik help/

/Malik where are you/

/I don't know help please/

Marik was worried when Yugi and Ryou told him that Malik would be home later that he went out to look for his light. Yami and Bakura followed with their lights. It didn't take him long to pinpoint his lights distress call. He took off on a dead run with the other on his tail.

The three of them had shredded all most of Malik's clothes off and the bigger one was prepared to rape him when a purple cloud gobbled him up with the other two. Malik was afraid to look up. He hurt so bad and he knew what was going to happen. A pair of arms grabbed him and he began to scream for help.

"It's okay it's just me. They're gone." Marik took off his coat and coved Malik with it. He carried him bridal style and when the others got there he order that they call for help.

(Scene Change: Kabia's Manor)

Seto and Joey were resting in bed. Mainly Joey was snoring and Seto was watching him until the phone began to ring.

"Kabia speaking who is this and do you know what time it is?"

"Listen Kaiba we need help- he is hurt and we need help please help."

"Yugi what's wrong?" Kabia asked

"Yugi's in trouble?" Joey asked

"Kaiba," Yami's voice came over the phone, "Malik was jumped and almost raped. He is in bad shape and we need aid."

"Okay where are you. I'll have an ambulance meet you and bring him to the medical center. We'll meet you there."

Seto explained the situation to Joey and they with Mokuba took off to the medical center

(Scene Change: Kabia Corp.'s Medical Center)

After three hours in surgery Malik was resting He could have visitors in the morning so everyone camped out in the waiting room. Marik was pacing until Yami and Bakura put a sleeping sleep on him. A few hours later Tea walked in with Duke. She talked with Yugi to see how Malik was. Duke walked over to her to comfort her. He wanted to show to the others that he was there but secretly he was laughing at them.

Duke was glad that his plan was going the way he had planned and nothing was going to stop him. Nothing and he was planning his next move and he looking at his next victim and smiled when he saw it. He then kissed Tea on her forehead and brushed her hair with his fingertips. He knew that he was moving up in the group and soon no one would be safe.
