Chapter Three
When the jet took off, Joshua looked at Joey and he asked "Who is the man in that picture and why was he holding me?"
Joey looked down into the face of his son and tears filled his eyes as he said "Son, that man is your papa and I'm your daddy."
Joshua then asked the question that would tear Joey's guts up but he knew that he had to answer it and then Joshua said "Why doesn't my papa live with us doesn't he love me?"
Joey smiled and touched the side of Joshua's face and he said "Son, papa loves both of us so much but he and I are having some problems and we thought that it was better if we lived apart for awhile."
Joshua looked up at Joey and then he said "If he loves me why doesn't he call or send me a card on my birthday and on Christmas like grandpa Sol and the others do?"
Joey didn't know how to answer that question and then as if by some miracle the pilot said "We'll be landing in about five minutes, please fasten your seat belts and be ready for the landing."
So Joey fastened Joshua's seat belt and then did his own and they waited for the plane to land.
The pilot and co-pilot came back and opened the door as Joey unbuckled both Joshua's and his seat belt and they walked down the steps and there waiting for them was a man holding a sign that read "The Wheeler Party" on it and Joey walked over and said "I'm Joseph Wheeler."
The man smiled and then he said "My name is Pierre and it's my job to take you and your son to the hospital and then I'm suppose to take you where ever you want to go."
Joey thanked Pierre and he said "My name is Joseph and this is my son Joshua and thank you for taking us places." Joey held out his hand and Pierre shook it and Joshua did the same thing and that made Pierre smiled and knew that this man and his son were very nice people.
When they got to the hospital and they walked in, Pierre walked in with them and he spoke to the lady behind the desk and then he said "This is Bridget and she'll take you to where you want to go" and then he walked back outside to wait.
As they went around a corner there sitting next to two men that Joey knew was Seto's private pilot Carl and his co-pilot Greg was Mokuba and when Mokie looked up and saw Joey he started crying and ran to him and as Joey embraced this strange person Joshua wonder who he was. Mokie looked at Joey and he said "He's not waking up, why isn't he waking up?"
Carl got up and limped over to where they were and he smiled at Joey and he said "The damn weather socked us in and I couldn't see anything and then well you know the rest."
Joey shook his hand and he said "And Seto wouldn't wait for one more day would he?" Carl shook his head no and went back to sit down.
Mokuba looked at Joshua and he wiped his face and he said "Sorry for crying like a baby." Joshua smiled and then he took Mokie's hand in his and he said "That's okay sometimes I cry too."
Mokuba then said "My name is Mokuba and I'm your Uncle."
Joshua then looked up at Joey and he said "Where's my papa?"
Joey then took his hand and he and Mokie went over and they sat down next to the other men and that's when Joey said "Joshua your papa was hurt when their plane kind of had a problem and how he's in this hospital and he's trying to get better but we all need to say a prayer and ask God to make him better. Can you help us do that?"
Joshua then folded his little hands and bowed his head as the others did the same and Joshua said "Dear God, this is Joshua and my daddy says that my papa is hurt and needs your help to get better. Could you help him get better so that I can get to know him please? Thank you, I mean Amen."
Joey, Carl, Greg and Mokie were all in tears as they heard this little boys prayer to make his papa better and as they all said "Amen." Then a man approached them and he said "My name is Doctor Bishop and who is Joey Wheeler/Kaiba?"
Joey stood up and he said "My name is Joey and Seto is my husband, how is he?"
Dr. Bishop then smiled as he said "Mr. Kaiba is one very lucky young man because it could of turned out worse but he opened his eyes and then he scared the hell out of one of my nurses when he demanded that she go find you and bring you back to his room, it was like he knew that you were here."
Mokuba smiled and then he said "My brother knows everything but what's good for him and when it comes to that he is completely stupid." That caused Joey, Carl and Greg to laugh out loud and then Joshua started to laugh too as if he understood what they were talking about.
Then Joey said "Joshua will you please stay here with your Uncle Mokuba so that I can go back and talk to your papa?"
Joshua smiled up at his daddy and he said "Alright but let papa know that I love him." Joey gave him a hug and kiss and then he went with the doctor to the room that Seto was in.
As they entered the room, Joey gasped as he saw Seto hooked up to the IVs and as he laid there so motionless it made Joey want to cry. He walked up to the bed and that's when Seto opened his eyes and he said "You came."
Joey moved the bangs out of his face and he said "Where else would I be but here when I found out that you were hurt?"
That's when Seto reached out and Joey took his hand and he squeezed it and then Joey said "Joshua's here too and he wants you to know that he loves you and wants to meet you."
Tears filled Seto's eyes when he heard this and then he blinked as he said "What did you bring him here for, did you think that if I thought that you really did give a damn that I wouldn't want him to come stay with me that I'd just drop it, well you're mistaken because I'm determined to get to know my son without you around to tell him things about me."
Joey couldn't believe what he was hearing and then he let go of Seto's hand and he said "And I came when I heard that you could be really hurt but nothing has changed, you're still a heartless bastard and I don't want anything to do with you now or ever and I'm taking Joshua back to Domino and well you can go to hell and stay there with your father, you know Satan."
Joey walked out of that room in tears and before he got back to the others he stopped in a bathroom and washed his face off and then he went and when he saw Joshua and Mokie and how much love that they had for each other and it nearly killed him but he walked over and he said "Joshua, we have to come back tomorrow, papa isn't feeling very well today."
Then he took his son and they walked out of the hospital and Pierre found them and as they got back into the car he asked "Where can I take you?"
Please take me to the Marriott Hotel that's where we are going to be staying." Joey said to him.
Pierre knew that something was really bothering him and he said "Is there something that I can do for you?"
Joey looked at him as he looked at Joey in the rear view mirror and as tears were running down his face and he said "Can you turn back time and make the man that I love make him love me and our son?"
Pierre felt so sorry for this young man because he has been hurt again and if he didn't know better he could bet that this young man was about to take off for parts unknown and it would be a damn shame because that could cause him more problems then he has right now.
Pierre pulled up by the front door and as he opened the door he said "If you need someone to talk to here is my number and don't hesitate to call me."
Joey took the paper and as he carried Joshua and he thanked him for everything and then he walked into the hotel leaving Pierre standing there and as he got back into the car he took out his phone and called the number that was given to him and when the phone was answered he said "I think that Mr. Wheeler/Kaiba is about to take off and it would be a shame if he did that."
The voice on the other end of the phone and the person said "Thank you for being there and I will make sure that Mr. Wheeler/Kaiba doesn't take off until he get things straightened out with that bull headed idiot Kaiba."
Pierre then drove home to wait to see if Joseph calls or not and that's when he'll start to worry.
Mokuba went to find his brother and as he walked into the room he yelled "Seto what the hell did you do or say to Joey because he took Joshua and left and you need them as much they need and love you. Yes Seto they do love you and Joey has never spoked bad to you and won't let anyone talk bad about you even his best friends because he doesn't want Joshua to hear things like that."
Seto started to say something and Mokuba walked over to his brother and he said "You know if you'd just stop being such a idiot you'd see that you're losing the two best things that have ever happened to you so I beg you stop being like this and start showing Joey how you really love him and how you want no you need to have them come home and live at the Manor with you again."
Seto had tears running down his face when he said "Mokie I don't know how to love because of what that bastard did to me but I do know that if they do walk out of my life I'll be dead soon."
Mokie ran to him and as they held each other Mokie prayed that his brother would try to get Joey to talk to him and let him tell him what he just said to him.
As Joey went inside the room he didn't know what the hell to do, should he stay and try to talk to Seto again or should he just leave and go where Seto can never find them??
