Chapter Eight

Today Joey and his son was going to go over and stay the week-end with Seto so that he and Joshua could get to know each other. They needed someone who they trusted to take care of Sammy and Piglet while they were gone and Joshua said "Can we ask Uncle Ryou and Bakura to take care of them they really love them?"

So as they stopped off at Bakura and Ryou's to leave Sammy and Piglet, Joey drove to the Manor and as he knocked on the door and they waited he hoped that everything would be just fine. Then the door opened and there stood Roland and when he saw who was there he smiled as Joshua said "We come to see my papa and Uncle Mokuba."

As they walked in, Seto was coming down the stairs and Joshua ran to him and he said "Papa we are here." Seto picked him up and as he walked over to where Joey was he kissed him and then he said "Let's go outside, Mokuba has a surprise for Joshua."

As they walked outside there was Mokuba standing beside the pool and he said "Joshua do you want to go swimming?"

Joshua looked from Mokuba to his daddy and then he said "Daddy is teaching me to swim but I can only swim a little bit but I can float really good." Then he turned to Joey and he said "Can I go swimming?"

Joey smiled down at him and he said "We didn't bring out suits." Seto then said "There's some in the Cabana, why don't you go see if there is any in Joshua's size and oh yeah find one for yourself."

So as they went to the Cabana to find something to wear, Joshua said "We are going to have fun here aren't we daddy?"

Joey looked at his son and he answered him as honestly as he could as he said "I really think we are too." Then they went out by the pool and Joshua got into the water and he and Mokuba had fun swimming and just talking. Joey went over and sat down next to Seto and he said "This is really nice of you for having us over and Joshua is having the time of his life."

Seto then asked "How is his daddy doing?"

Joey reached over and took hold of Seto's hand and he said "His daddy is really enjoying himself too."

They stayed out there for about two hours and then Seto stood up and he said "It's time to get out of the water because Greta is going to have lunch ready soon and you both need to go take a shower and change your clothes."

Both Mokuba and Joshua got out of the water and they went inside through the Arcadia door and Mokuba showed him where they could shower and as they ran upstairs they had towels wrapped around them and they were laughing as they went.

Outside as Seto and Joey got up Seto said "How about after they go to sleep we have a midnight swim?"

Joey laughed and he said "That sounds like fun but did you know that your son is a light sleeper and if I get up he'll hear me."

Seto had a devious smile on his face as he said "Well he won't hear you if he's sharing a room with his Uncle Mokie now will he."

They were both laughing as they went inside and there was the boys waiting for them and as they walked into the kitchen Seto said "Greta this is our son Joshua Samuel Wheeler/Kaiba."

Greta turned around and she couldn't believe how much he looked like Seto that it brought tears to her eyes and she went over and gave Joshua a hug and kiss and he had a shocked look on his face and that caused Joey to chuckle and he said "Joshua this is Greta and she's like a mother to both your papa and your Uncle."

Joshua then looked up at this lovely woman and he said "Does that make you my grandma?"

Greta nearly broke down crying as she said "Yes, little one I'm your grandma and that man over there is your grandpa."

Joey stood beside Seto as they watched their son's expression and it brought tears to their eyes as he hugged these two very important people in his papa's life. Then Joshua looked at his daddy and he said "I'm so glad that we came here today daddy."

Greta fixed sandwiches and they all had milk to drink and they talked and laughed and laughed some more, then it was time for them to go and let her clean the kitchen and she needed to figure out what she was going to fix for dinner. They all went out to the living room and as they all sat down Joshua asked his papa "Do you and Uncle Mokuba have any pets?"

Seto looked at his son and then he said "No we never were allowed to have pets when our step father was alive."

That made Joshua very sad and he said "I'll share my pets with you both if you want."

Joey nearly fell off the couch as their son said that and then he waited to find out what Seto would say and he didn't have to wait very long when Seto said "That is very nice of you and when you and your daddy come here to live you can bring your pets and we'll take turns taking care of them."

Mokuba asked Joshua "if he liked to play video games?" And when Joshua's eyes lit up Mokuba then said "Seto can we go to the game room and play games till dinner is ready?"

Seto smiled at them and he said "Alright but only the nice ones and you know what I mean." Mokuba nodded his head as he and Joshua went to the game room leaving Seto and Joey there alone to talk.

Joey then looked at Seto as he said "Did you really mean what you said to Joshua about letting him bring his cat and dog here when we come here to live?"

Seto reached over and he touched the side of Joey's face as he said "If I'm going to be a papa then I need to know about pets and how to take care of them don't I?"

This made Joey start laughing and then he said "Well you know that taking care of those two is a full time job especially when Sammy decides to chase Piglet and he climbs the drapes and I don't think that Greta would like the drapes in this house ruined by a cat and dog."

Seto started laughing till he had tears running down his face as he thought of what Greta would do and say if that happened and then he said "You know that it would be one hell of a sight wouldn't it."

Just then Roland came into the room and he was laughing and Joey said "What's happening?"

Roland then sat down and he said "You should of seen Greta's face when Joshua told her about when his dog Sammy chased the cat Piglet through the house on his birthday and what happened and she gasped as they went off to play the games and she said merciful heavens, that must have been one hell of a sight!"

Then she started laughing so hard that she had to sit down and then she said "We're joining to be invaded by those two pets aren't we, oh well it might just lighten this place up."

Both Joey and Seto were laughing so hard that they too had tears running down their faces and then they heard Greta "Get cleaned up, dinner is almost ready."

Roland then stood up and he said "I'll go get the youngsters and make sure that they get the games cleaned up and that they wash up and we'll meet you both in the kitchen."

As they walked into the kitchen Greta turned around and she said "Joseph are you and that beautiful son of yours going to come and live here in the Manor with us?"

Seto walked over to her and he said "When he can trust me not to ever hurt Joshua or him ever again."

Then before she could respond, in came Roland followed by Mokuba and Joshua who exclaimed "I'm really hungry."

Everyone laughed as they sat down at the table and then Joshua said grace "Dear God, it's me Joshua please bless this food that we are about to receive and the people sitting round this table. Amen." Then they all enjoyed the first meal as a family, would it continue forever? Only time would tell.
