Chapter Two

Joey saw what time it was and he went to wake up Joshua and get him ready to go to grandpa Solomon's. Joshua got out his little bag that had written on the back "Going to Grandpa's" and he went and put his pajama's, his slippers and his favorite pillow and blanket in it and then he zipped it closed as Joey stood there smiling at him. Joshua always loved going over to the Motou's and spending time there. When he was done they walked downstairs and Joshua let Sammy out one last time and then Joey put the puppy in it's crate and Joshua kissed him good-bye and then they left.

When they got to the Game Shop, Joshua was so excited that it was all Joey could do to keep him from jumping out the window when Solomon opened the door and stood there laughing at the site of Joseph trying to keep his little tornado corraled and then Solomon said "Now that'll be enough of that, you need to mind your daddy."

Joshua stopped and then he looked up at Joey and he said "Me sorry daddy."

Joey smiled down at him and then he picked him up and with his little bag in his hand they walked inside and as he put Joshua down he said "Go ahead and find the others."

As he ran off both Solomon and Joey stood there laughing and then Solomon said "Did you call Pegasus?"

"Yes and tomorrow a Douglas Murphy is suppose to call and we are to get together and see what I can do to stop Seto from taking Joshua away."

Solomon put his arm around Joey as they walked to the living room where the others were and he said "I'll send Yami over tomorrow and he can bring Joshua and Sammy over here while you two talk and that way he can have fun and you can think of what you're going to tell that little boy about a papa that he's really never even known."

They walked into the room and Joshua was playing cards with Yugi and Tristan and he was winning. He looked up and he said "Daddy me win Go Fish."

Joey smiled as he sat down on the couch beside where they were sitting on the floor and he said "You are the king of Go Fish aren't you?"

Everyone laughed and when the game was over Solomon said "Who's ready for some of my favorite pop corn, some lemonade and how about a movie?"

Everyone cheered especially Joshua who jumped up and clapped his hands and then he said "Can me help you fix the pop corn grandpa?"

Solomon smiled as he held out his hand and Joshua took it and they walked into the kitchen. When they were gone Tea said "How are you doing and I mean how are you really doing?"

Joey tried to smile but his tears gave him away and she put her arm around him as he sat there and he wiped his face and he said "All I can do is show that Seto didn't want Joshua around when he was a baby and I didn't have any choice but to leave and get him away from there."

Yami then said "Do you still have the letters he wrote to you after you left?"

Joey nodded and he said "Yes I have all of them and they all were written on Kaiba Corp. stationary and well they are all rather very graphic as to why he didn't want the baby around and well tomorrow when the Attorney that Pegasus called is coming over I'll show then all to him and pray that he'll be able to help me or I swear to God that I'll take Joshua and I'll leave the country and he'll never find us."

What scared Yami, Yugi and the others was that Joey really meant every word and he had plenty of friends to help keep them hidden forever and they didn't really want that to happen because they not only loved Joey but they all loved Joshua too. Just then they heard Joshua say "Who wants popcorn?"

They all shouted "We do!"

That caused both Joshua and Solomon to laugh as they call out "We need help please."

So they all ran to the kitchen and got their bowls of popcorn and their glasses of lemonade and as they walked back to the living room Solomon said "Let's see how about if we watch Jungle Book first and then maybe Lion King?"

Everyone cheered but not as loud as Joshua as he said "Great I love them both."

They all settled down and watched the movies and when it was over Joshua was asleep and Joey picked him up and carried him upstairs to Yugi's room that they always used and he changed him into his pajamas and put him in bed and kissed him and as he left the room Joey turned around and he whispered "I'll keep you safe son."

Downstairs, Yami told Solomon what Joey said and as Solomon told them "I can't blame him but I pray that it doesn't come to that because there is a little boy up there that will get hurt if they start to fight and I can't let that happen."

When Joey came back into the room the others were cleaning up the popcorn and washing the dishes as Solomon and Joey sat down and talked and Solomon said "Yami told me what you said but Joseph you can't take that little boy away without at least telling him why."

Joey got up and walked over to the other side of the room and then he turned to face the man who was almost like a father to him and he said "How do you tell a little boy that the man who is his papa didn't want him because he cried to much or that he smelled or that he was just to much bother. How do I tell him that?"

Solomon walked over to Joey and he put his arms around him and he softly said "Listen, you have to be honest with that little boy up there because he's smarter then you know. Do you know that he found a picture of you and Seto when he was a little baby and he brought it here one day that I was watching him and he asked me about it and well I was honest with him and when he asked where is he well I told him that he lived somewhere else and that someday maybe he could meet the man in the photo."

Joey had tears running down his face as he listen to what Solomon was saying and then he said "I guess that in the morning I talk to my son and tell him some of the truth but I will never hurt him by telling him the real truth."

Solomon held him as he cried and then they heard the other coming and Joey excused himself and went to the bathroom to splash water in his face to try to hide the fact that he had been crying.

When he came back they all knew but didn't say anything about it and then Tristan said "I'm going to drive Tea home so we'll see all of you tomorrow." They hugged and kissed everyone and then they were gone.

As the four of them sat there watching the News there was a Bulletin "We are sorry to report that the private jet carrying Seto Kaiba the CEO of Kaiba Corp. has crashed off the coast of France. We still don't have any word if there were any survivors all we know is that Mr. Kaiba filed a flight plan and on it he listed that there were the pilot, co-pilot, his brother Mokuba and himself on board. We will report more when we get any more information"

About that time Joey stood up and shouted "NO!" and then he just fainted.

Solomon and Yami picked him up and put him on the couch and then the phone rang and when Yugi answered it he heard Pegasus's voice and he said "Is Joseph there?"

Solomon took the phone and he talked to Pegasus and what he heard made him relax and he thanked him for calling. And after he hung up the phone Solomon turned and said "Max got word that everyone on board of the jet are alright but Seto did suffer a severe head trauma and he's in a coma and the doctors don't know when he will wake up."

Joey came to and Solomon sat down next to him and after he was done telling Joey what Pegasus had said well Joey said "We have to go to him he has to know that we still need him."

Solomon then picked up the phone and he called Max back and when he was through talking he said "Yami go get Joshua and get him changed and then we're taking them to the airport where Max's private jet is waiting to take them to Paris and then they will be taken to the hospital where Seto is."

When they got there Pegasus was there waiting and he said "Here this is your Passport, Croquet went to your house and found it and it's all in order and this one is for Joshua and I'll explain everything to you when you get back. This is the hospital that Seto is in and they know that you are on your way."

Joey gave Max and hug and then Joshua started to wake up and he asked "Where are we daddy?" Joey smiled and he said "We're going to meet the man in the photo your papa."
