Chapter 9
It had been three hours since Yugi and Joey were brought into the Medical Center by Seto. Yugi was taken right into surgery and Joey was taken to the maternity ward where Seto was at the moment. He had a direct link to the ER so he could get updates on Yugi. He had called to get updates on Tea and Ryou and found out that Tea was okay but her child was in distress and she might miscarry. Malik was with her and he had talked to the blond Egyptian about how Tea was really doing and all Malik told him was that she seemed hollow. At hearing this Seto made a call to Dr. Erica Freen a psychologist that he knew personal to have on standby if Tea needed her. He then made a call to see about Ryou and was told that Ryou would be released in the morning. His thoughts were brought back when some one touched his shoulder. When he turned around he saw the three yamis there.
"Where's Yugi?" Yami asked. He looked drained and worried. Kabia feared that the spirit would faint at anytime.
"He's in the ER for immediate surgery. He should be fine. You can't see him until he is in the ICU. Set down before you fall down." Kabia said and he gestated to a chair.
"I need to see him now. I need him to know that I'm alright." Yami almost yelled.
"Be quite we are in a hospital. When Yugi can be seen you will be the first to know." Kabia said then a nurse came and told him that Joey needed him. "I have to go. Here take my cell. The ER will call when Yugi can be seen. Please calm down because he will need your strength when he wakes up." Kabia said.
"Where's Malik?" Marik asked.
"He's with Tea and she is in a private room on the sixth floor. She is in room 6789 and she needs her rest so if you go to visit her do not wake her up." Kabia said and Yami heard pain in his voice.
"What's wrong?" Yami asked.
"Look Joey needs me and I need to be there for him and our child but Tea might never know her own child so that's what's wrong. Duke did do much damage that his and Tea's child may pay the price." With that Kabia left and followed the nurse to where Joey was.
The three spirits just looked at each other. Bakura without a word went to visit his light while both Yami and Marik went to Tea's room. Yami had to keep his mind off of Yugi so maybe visiting Tea would help and Marik just wanted to be with his light.
(Scene Change: Joey's Hospital Room)
Once Seto entered he was Joey on the bed and Joey's face was red and he was sweating. Seto walked over and asked Dr. Barns what was going on and her answer was that the baby was coming.
"Wait," Joey said in a panicked voice, "She is only six months old. It's too early for her to be born why can't you give me drugs to stop labor. Please Seto do something. Don't let them take her now please." Joey sobbed. Seto's heart broke into thousand pieces because he didn't know what to do.
"Can you stop labor?" Seto asked. He hoped that maybe there was someway to stop Joey's labor.
"Mr. Kabia your daughter is ready now. I know that Joey had only carried her for six months but she is fully developed. I do not know how to explain it but she is ready. What I need you to do is keep your husband calm because he could send her into distress and it could endanger them both. I will be back and then I will prepare Joey for a C-Section." Dr. Barns left and Seto used a wet cloth to wipe Joey's brow.
"Did you hear her pup? Our little girl is ready for to be born. She is ready and I need you to calm down you for you and her. Can you do that?"
"Seto I'm sacred what if the doctor is wrong and our baby she-she dies. I can't risk that." Joey said with tears coming down his face. His emotions were all over the place. Having Duke attack those he loved and cared for. Pinning all of it on Tea and then kidnapping him and Yugi then torturing Yugi and trying to kill him and his daughter. Joey was emotional and physical spend and now he was in labor at six months he couldn't control hi emotions anymore.
Seto watched fear eat at Joey. He had to get Joey to calm down or he could lose both him and their daughter. "Joey listen to me our daughter is ready. She is fully developed if she wasn't the doctors would try everything they could to stop your labor but they can't because our daughter is ready to be born."
"Really?" Joey asked. He was calming down as Seto wiped his tears away. Their daughter was ready and soon he would see her and welcome her to the world.
"Yes. She is ready and so our little girl will be here for us to welcome her in the world." Seto said and when he looked down Joey had shut his eyes. He smiled and thought to himself that his pup look so cute she he slept.
Dr. Barns walked back in and she then used an Ultrasound to see the position of the baby. "Your little girl is turning herself into a birthing position it might take a couple minutes or hours until she is ready I will keep checking on her and Joey. You sit down if you want and rest because once your daughter begins her ascent you will need to help Joey." She smiled at the sleeping teen and then left the room. Seto sit down and waited for the little one to make her move.
(Scene Change: Ryou's Hospital Room)
Bakura watch his light sleep. He wanted to tell Ryou that Duke couldn't hurt anyone anymore. He wanted his light to feel safe again but he wasn't sure of that anymore. How could Ryou feel safe when he failed him, he couldn't keep Ryou safe.
"Stop it Bakura. I feel fine and I know that Duke is dead because I linked with you while you and the others took Duke to the Shadow Realm so I know he is dead and I also feel safe when you are near. Well not always safe but I can't help it." Ryou said and a blush appeared on his face.
"What do you mean that you don't always feel safe around me? What else could you feel?" Bakura asked as he stalked his way to his light's bed. He then climbed into bed and pulled the covers over him and Ryou and he explored Ryou's other feelings while he was there.
! A Slight Lemon Here!
"Kura we might be caught." Ryou said as Bakura rubbed his slight bulge.
"So, I don't care if we get caught my love I want to feel you. I want to taste you." Bakura then kissed Ryou while slipping his tongue into Ryou's mouth to earn a slight moan from his light. "I also want you screaming my name but how to do that. Oh I know."
Ryou felt Bakura scurry under the covers and then he screamed out Bakura's name as his member was coved in a wet heat. He could stop himself as he released into his lover's mouth.
! Scene Over!
"I told you that you would scream." Bakura said as he smiled impishly at his light. Ryou just went limp and then he cuddled into Bakura's arms and went to sleep feeling safe, loved and content in those arms and Bakura smiled at his light and kissed Ryou's head and he climbed out of the bed and headed to the bathroom at elevate his 'problem'. He then climbed back into Ryou's bed and fell asleep holding his light.
(Scene Change: Tea's Hospital Room)
Tea was still asleep while Yami sat in a chair next to her bed. Marik and Malik left to head home so they could bang each other's brain out. Yami envied them at that moment because the one he loved was still in surgery. His thoughts were broken when a moan filled the room. Yami full attention was on the young teenage girl who was waking up.
"Tea?" Yami asked. He was not sure if she was fully awake.
"Where am I?" Tea asked as the tried to figure out where she was. She remembered bits and pieces of what happen. Duke went crazy, she jumped out a window and she fainted and something about a baby. She hoped that Joey and his child were okay.
"Tea you are in the hospital. Do you remember how you got here?" Yami asked. He then thought of what an idiot he was for asking a question that stupid.
"Um, I remember that Duke kidnapped Joey, Yugi and I because he flipped out. He said something that I would be blamed for it all. I remember being afraid and jumping out a window and my leg was hurting. I found you and the others then I fainted. I then heard talking about a baby and Malik was here and then I felt sleepy again so I fell asleep then I just now woke up. Is there anything that I'm forgetting Yami?" She asked.
Yami didn't know if he should tell her what she couldn't remember or let her memory come back to her naturally. "Tea I think that you should rest right now and regain your strength because you are going to need it."
"What are you taking about Yami, why do I need my strength am I sick, am I dying?" Tea voice quivered in fear.
"Tea you're neither sick nor dying but your child needs you to be strong and well." He said and once the cat was out of the bag he knew that he should have kept his mouth shut.
"Baby? I'm pregnant but who is the father?" Tea then thought back to only one she had had sex with and she answered her own question. "No not him." Tea said in a whisper and tears fell from her face.
"Tea, I'm sorry but I thought you knew because you said you remember a baby and I thought you were talking about your own."
"Please leave. I need to be alone right now and I need to figure out what I'm going to do. I need to tell my family and they will not be thrilled and then I'll probably be kicked out and then I have to get a job to support myself and my child because the father is either in a coma or dead if you and the others got a hold of him so please leave." She said as tears came down her face and her body shock as she sobbed.
Yami didn't listen to her. He quietly walked over to her bed and hugged her and allowed her to cry. She needed to let her anger, sadness, bitterness and fear out before those emotions destroyed her so he let her cry away her emotions. After about ten minutes Tea fell back asleep and Yami stayed there to watch over her because she needed some one to be there for her and he needed to keep his mind off of Yugi until he knew they condition of his light.
(Scene Change: Joey's Hospital Room)
Dr. Barns and her staff that she had hired and all singed a waver stating that they would keep silent about who they were treating as they entered Joey's room to prepare him for his C-Section. Joey had had an epidural to help with the pain and block out the pain.
As the team prepped Joey he was scared and excited at the same time. Seto on the other hand was watching the medical team like a hawk and he was taking everything into count incase something went wrong and if it did they would pay dearly if his husband or daughter were injured or worst.
"We're almost ready. Mr. Kabia please try to keep Joey's attention on you. He will pressure and some discomfort and it is imperative that he not freak out. Please try to keep his attention at all times." Dr. Barns said.
Seto nodded and then he looked to Joey and grabbed his hand and gave a slight squeeze. "Pup, you heard her, I need you to focus on me and the baby that we have created together. I want you to focus on that and if you feel discomfort squeeze my hand as hard as you want." Seto looked into Joey's eyes and he saw fear creep into them.
"What if something goes wrong? I don't know if I can do this." Joey sobbed. Hearing fear in Joey's voice killed Seto but he had to get Joey to focus on the positive.
"We are in my medical center and I like perfection so my medical staff also strives for perfection. Listen to me; I will see to it that nothing happens to you or our daughter." Seto said and Joey gave a small laugh.
"You think that the earth revolves around you don't you." Joey felt a little as ease because Seto was in Kabia mode and all must fear his wrath.
"We're ready." Dr. Barns said. Seto grabbed Joey's hand again and he looked into Joey's eyes.
"Everything will be okay." Seto said. Joey nodded then he squeezed Seto's hand. Seto had to keep Joey's mind off the pain and fear. "Have you thought of what we should name our daughter?"
Joey shook his head and closed his eyes. A small tear fell. Seto wiped it away with his free hand. "That's okay we will think of a name when she is here." Seto said. He hated to see Joey in any pain and he would do anything to make the pain go away.
Seto's heart leaped into his throat when he heard Joey gasp. When he looked down Joey was smiling and he knew that their daughter was born. "Would you like to cut the cord Mr. Kabia?" Dr. Barns asked. Seto let go of Joey's hand and walked around to where his daughter was. He took the scissors from the nurse and with a shaking hand he cut his daughter's umbilical cord as tears ran down his face. The doctor smiled at him as the nurse to clean their daughter up as Dr. Barns cleaned Joey's womb out and sewn up Joey's stomach. Seto walked back over to Joey and they both had tears falling from their faces.
Dr. Barns was done with Joey and a little buddle carried by the nurse was brought over to the couple. As the nurse walked over a little cry was let out. The nurse handed the buddle to Joey and he and Seto looked down at their little girl who was now calm and quite.
"She's beautiful isn't she?" Joey asked. He couldn't stop smiling as he looked at his little girl. She was perfect. The perfect blend of both her parents; she had a head of full of hair and it was blond like his. She had opened her eyes and she had her father's blue eyes. Joey was ready to burst with pride and love for his daughter until he looked into his lover's eyes and saw that tears fell from Seto's face.
"She is perfect" Seto said and at that moment Joey yawned. "I think that it is time that you got some rest, you need it." He then leaned over and kissed both Joey and their daughter on the head.
"We should name her first. I don't want her just to be known as the 'Kabia Baby'." Joey said as he yawned again and this time their daughter joined in.
"What name would you like?" Seto asked. "We could name her Serenity after your sister."
"No, I like would her name to reflect us not just me and my family. Our daughter is part of us and should have a name to show that. Now let me think for a moment." Joey yawned again as he fought away the sleepiness he felt. "Seto what was your mother's name?" Joey asked.
"I have no mother I was raised by-" Seto started to say but was interrupted by his husband.
"I know all about your past Seto but the woman that raised you, that gave you life do you know her name?" Joey asked again looking deep into his lover's eyes knowing that remembering was hard for him but he also saw a smile appear on Seto's face.
Seto smiled and said, "Mei, her mane was Mei. What about your mother what was her name?" He asked.
"Karen but I and she don't get along so what about my sister's middle name Lyn; we could name our daughter MeiLyn. Her name would be a mix of our love." Joey said as his eyes drooped. Seto saw the weariness in his husband's eyes and knew that soon Joey would be asleep.
"That name will fit her perfectly, now you need to get some sleep. I will fill out the paper work and tell the others while you rest because you need it." Seto said as he took MeiLyn from Joey's arms and handed her back to the nurse. He waited until Joey was fast asleep before he left to tell the find the others and tell them about the birth of his daughter. He first went to fill out the paper work stating his daughter's name. He smiled when he wrote it down for the first time, MeiLyn Kabia. Once he was done with the paper work he went to Tea's room to check on her.
(Scene Change: Tea's Hospital Room)
Tea was waking up. She looked around hoping that she would wake up in her bed in her room and everything that happened was a dream, well nightmare. As her eyes adjusted to the dimness of the room she saw that she was in a hospital room and she realized that her nightmare was reality and at that moment she wanted to scream. Her attention was brought back when her door opened and a figure walked in. She looked at the figure and realized that it was Kabia that had entered her room. She then saw Yami who was asleep in the chair next to her bed and she smiled knowing that at least someone cared enough to be there for her.
Kabia walked over quietly so not to wake Yami up, but the temptation saw great. "How are feeling this morning?" He asked in a whisper.
"I hurt all over and my ankle was twisted so bad that I might not be able to continue my dancing in New York." Tea said trying to avoid the subject of her pregnancy.
"I am sorry, I will try to help you anyway I can, now how are you really?" He knew when someone was putting up a front because he did it and so did Joey.
"I'm fine. I feel okay-" she was cut off by Seto because he knew B.S. when it was thrown his way.
"Tea, you have been through hell and back and I see it in your eyes that you are scared to death now be honest with me." He said and his voice was soft, something that she was not use to hearing unless he was talking to Mokuba or Joey.
Tea couldn't keep her emotions in check anymore. Tears ran down her face, "Yes I'm scared because I don't know what to do. I have a child growing in me and its father was Duke, my dancing career is over before it started and now-" Tea pauses then continued, "well I'm just upset." Tea said hoping that Kabia would leave and not question her anymore.
"Are you okay? You changed the subject a minute ago? What are you trying to avoid?" Kabia asked. Hearing voices in the room Yami woke up and saw that Kabia was in the room and Tea was in tears again. He was about to tell Kabia to leave her alone but Tea spoke.
"A few hours ago my parents called asking to talk to me. I was so relived that my parents have been called and I knew that they were on their way to be here and comfort me. I was so wrong, they were mad that I took time off from school and now I was with child. They wanted to know who the father was and I didn't know what to tell them so I told them that he had left the picture. My mother more or less called me a whore and my father said that when I was better I could go and collect my things because they no longer have a daughter. I am alone, no where to go and pregnant that is what is wrong."
"You are not alone Tea you have your friends even those of us who were stupid enough to think that you could hurt the others. We will be there for you." Yami said. He stood up and walked over to Tea and hugged her. He then looked over to Kabia. "How are Joey and the baby?" He asked.
"They are both fine and resting." He said. "I on here to check on Tea and tell her all about the baby but I needed to know if she was okay first. Tea I know that a lot has happened and I will be the first to admit that I was wrong about you and I'm telling you now that you are welcomed to stay at the manor as long as you want. I owe you because you placed yourself and your unborn child to save Yugi, Joey and MeiLyn." Kabia said and he looked over seeing two confused faces.
"MeiLyn? Who is that?" Yami asked.
"Joey and mime daughter and with you Tea both could be dead right now. I meant what I said you are welcomed to stay at the Manor."
"I don't know what to say right now, but thank you Kabia. Please tell Joey I hope that is feeling better and give your daughter a kiss from me. I'm tired again." Tea said and she fell asleep again. At that time the door open and a nurse walked in.
"Mr. Kabia I wanted you to know that Mr. Muto is out of surgery and now is in ICU and can have one visitor at the moment."
"Thank you. Yami go see your light and I will try to find the others and let them know that MeiLyn is now in the world." Seto said almost beaming as he said his daughter's name again.
"Thank you Kabia. I will make sure that Ra shines upon your daughter. Also Bakura is visiting Ryou and Marik took Malik home so they could-well you know what they are doing." Yami said.
"Yami, call me Seto and no more Ancient Egypt crap. I have heard enough pf it and my daughter will never be taught that. Thank you for the head up I will call Marik and Malik and leave them a message. You go and visit Yugi while I go and tell Ryou and that Yami of his about the arrival of MeiLyn." He smiled again at saying her name. Yami nodded and he and Kabia split off to their destinations.
(Scene Change: The ICU)
Yami found where Yugi was recovering. Yugi smiled when he saw Yami.
"Is Joey and the baby okay?" Yugi asked. He was still groggy and his words were a little slurry but Yami understood them.
"Yes. Joey went into labor and the baby has been born. She has been named MeiLyn and Kabia tells me that they both are fine. How are you?" He asked
"I feel like I'm floating. It must be the drugs I think. I love you." Yugi blurted out. The drugs would take some time for them to where off and soon after he fell asleep. Yami sat by his bed and guarded his light. Yami was just relived that Yugi was alive and recovering from his injuries. As he sat there guarding Yugi, Yami himself fell asleep and both Yami and light slept in a peaceful rest.
(Scene Change: Joey's Hospital Room)
Seto had just left Ryou's room and he didn't think that he would get that sound of Ryou pleading to the heavens as he heard Bakura grunting in the background. He didn't open the door he just left the area and headed back to Joey's room. When he enters he saw the nurse trying to show Joey how to feed MeiLyn with a bottle. It saw a sight that made his heart flutter.
"That's right, you want to make sure that she doesn't get too much air while she is feeding or she'll get gas bubbles and that will be slightly painful for her." The nurse said as she watched Joey take the bottle and adjust it so MeiLyn could suckled from the nipple of the bottle and make sure that no air would enter and cause the little one a gas bubble.
Joey was doing a good job, but the MeiLyn stopped suckling and Joey thought that he did something wrong. Seto could see a little panic in Joey's eyes and so did the nurse. "Sometimes they will not finish all the formula. That is okay now you need to burp her to make sure that the gas on her tummy comes up." Joey placed MeiLyn on his shoulder like the nurse showed him and burped his daughter and she burped but she also spit up a little. The nurse told him that sometimes that happened and it was okay. She then took MeiLyn back to the nursery so Joey could get a little sleep.
"Where did you go?" Joey asked.
"I told you that I was going to tell the others about MeiLyn. Tea and Yami know about her. Yami went to visit Yugi sine he is out of surgery and before you ask I know that he will make a complete recovery. I left a message for Malik and Marik. I haven't told Ryou because at the time he and that Yami of his were busy." Seto said and he felt a blush on his cheeks and so did Joey.
"Busy? What were they doing that would make them to busy to know of the birth of my daughter?" Joey asked knowing that he was making Seto uncomfortable.
"They were-well you figure it out." Seto said then he changed the subject, "Joey, Tea might be living with us for awhile. Her parents found out that she is pregnant and they have kicked her out."
"Pregnant? Who's the father? How far is she?" Joey asked.
"Duke is the father. She can't tell her parents about him due to the fact he could be dead because her friends Yamis killed him. For your other question she about two months along. I asked her to come live with us because of how I treated her and with out her I might have lost you and MeiLyn. I would have lost my mind if I lost either one of you." Seto then kissed Joey lightly on the lips. Joey fell asleep again. Seto smiled and sat down in the chair next to Joey's bed and he himself fell asleep too.
(Scene Change: Kabia Manor Two Months Later)
MeiLyn crawled on her blanket on the floor. She giggled as she crawled her way to her dad. Joey was calling her. He was amused how smart she was but she was Seto's daughter as well. She crawled to him but half way when fell and she wailed for comfort. Joey picked her up and told her everything was okay. MeiLyn cooed and Joey put her back on her blanket and had her crawl again.
Seto was helping Tea down the stairs. She was now four months along and she was really showing. She was no longer throwing everything up she was just uncomfortable. She was glad that Joey was around to talk to because he made her feel a little better and not so scared. He went with her to every apportionment and held her hand when she was scared. He was there when she found out that she was having a little boy. What also helped her was that both Seto and Joey allowed her to help with MeiLyn. Being around a baby and learning what she had to do when her son was born made her feel like she could be a good mother.
The others also helped her in any way they could. Tea no longer left like an outcast and she had the others to help her if she should need it. She was also able to let her guilt for being with Duke go. The incident was hardly brought up anymore and they all got on with their lives. Tea was also thankful that Mai stayed in touch if she needed to get away with another woman. Mai also brought someone into her life and Tea couldn't be more thankful.
Alistair, Valon's friend became Tea's boyfriend. He had learnt the father to Tea's baby and knew that if the child every found out that his father was a psycho it could make the child crazy himself and that's when he asked to be the father of her child. Tea thought it was a joke but when Alistair showed her a ring she knew that he was serious and so they were married. It was weird that they both lived in the Manor but Joey and Kabia didn't mind at all. They had hired her to be the nanny to MeiLyn and Alistair was hired as the bodyguard to MeiLyn and her nanny who was now his wife and soon- to-be son.
Everyone was sitting down and the conversation came up about marriage and Marik said, "Hey Kabia Tea's son will seven months younger then your daughter wouldn't it be funny that when they grow up they get married." Marik was drunk when he said that and the others looked him. None of them knew where that came from. Then Bakura laughter mixed with Marik's and they both got up and wandered outside.
"I'm sorry. Marik is drunk." Malik said and Ryou also apologized for his Yami.
"It's okay." Joey said. "I don't think that it would be funny if our daughter married Tea's son, it would be an honor." Seto nodded as well and Tea smiled and leaned into Alistair's arms.
(MeiLyn's POV)
What My Uncle Marik said 25 years ago might have been funny at the time but that became the truth when I married Mike Kyle Gardener 5 years ago. Many wonder why he kept his mother's maiden name and the reason is that his father took his mother's last name before they married. I am now MeiLyn Kabia-Gardener. I am one of the CEO of Kabia Corp. and Mike is the other one. My parents have retired but father still checks in every now and then. They are living in New York so my dad can be with my aunt Serenity and her husband my uncle Mokuba while she battles breast cancer and she is winning soon they believe that she will be in remission soon.
My Uncles Yugi and Yami are in Egypt showing their son Atem his father's past. While my Uncles Ryou and Bakura are in England where they live and they are raising their daughter Emily up there. I have met her couple of times as she looks innocence like her dad but she has her father's personally a dangerous combination if you ask me. My Uncles Malik and Marik they are living here in Japan and so do my Aunt Ishizu and my other Uncle Odion. They visit me and Mike about every week. Marik and Malik have a daughter and she is a handful. They have given her a Japanese name since Japan is now their home. Aiko is her name and she is like both her parents and when she gets older God help us all.
Many ask where my uncles children came from and I tell then that is a story upon itself and maybe one day I will tell it but not today.
The End.
A/N: I hope that you all liked this story. It has been a handful to complete and I couldn't have done it with out my faithful reviewers and I would like to thanks those that have helped me in the processing of writing this fic.
