Yugioh belongs to Kazuki Takahashi.

A small fist slams hard into the concrete wall, surprisingly making a light crack. She grimaces and holds her hand, regretting even doing that. But she couldn't help it. She is so mad at this moment. Her mother is in a lot of pain and maybe she will even die. She pants heavily, trying to control her anger while her father watches her. He feels like doing the same thing, but he has to keep calm. If he gets worked up, that will make Cairo feel even worse.

"Darn him!" yells Cairo, hitting the wall again and she lets out a light cry.

"Stop it Cairo!" She is about to do it again when her arm is suddenly grabbed and she looks back to see her father standing there.

"Let go! No words can express how upset I am!"

"I know how you feel Cairo, but you must calm down."

She whips around to face him, the anger evident in her narrowed amethyst eyes. "How can I!? She's hurt dad! What if…what if I lose her?" He crouches down to her and cups one of her cheeks, looking her in the eyes.

"You won't. I promise."

"Your highness," comes a voice from behind and he turns his head to the source of the voice. One of the doctors stands outside of where Mana is. "You may see her now." Atem nods and kisses Cairo on the cheek before going inside. There are nurses walking past him with blood stained towels as well as her clothes. The covers are pulled up to her chest and she has bandages on her head and abdomen.

"How is she doctor? Will she be alright?" Atem asks with concern.

"A lot of people wouldn't survive from a blow like that. But fortunately, she will. She just needs to rest."

"And the baby?"

"Well my king…there's something you need to know about that."

"Go on."

"The Queen…well…she wasn't pregnant to begin with."

"What!?"

"Luckily she wasn't. The baby couldn't have survived something like that."
"But I thought—"

"The doctor that analyzed her was a beginner. She had the similar symptoms of being pregnant, but it was actually a minor case of the stomach flu." Atem feels like falling out right now. But he manages to keep strong since the doctors already have their hands full with treating Mana. It is sort of a relief and a disappointment that she isn't pregnant. The relief is that because she wasn't pregnant, the baby didn't get hurt in the battle. But he was actually looking forward to having another child. He watches as the doctor leaves and he sighs.

"Oh well…" he says to himself. Momentarily, Mahad walks in to check on his dear friend. "Mahad."

"Is she going to be alright?"

"Yes. She is going to be just fine."

"I overheard the last of your conversation. So she wasn't pregnant after all. She was right all along."

"What do you mean?"
"I came in one day to find her sick so I got her examined by the doctor who told her that she was pregnant. But she always denied that saying, 'she knows her own body.' And she was right. And hear I thought that she was just in denial."

"I-I…told you…" comes Mana's weak voice and they turn to see her awake with a weak grin on her face as she looks at them. "I told you I wasn't pregnant."

"MyRa, Mana don't ever scare me like that again," Atem says as he walks over to her and sits down on the edge of her bed before capturing her lips. She smiles into the kiss before wrapping an arm around his neck and kissing back.

"You knew exactly what you were doing, didn't you Mana?" asks Mahad with his arms folded and she pulls back with a confused look.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You knew that if you got close enough to Marik, you could do your attack, even if it meant risking your life in the process."

Mana slowly sits up and gives him a blank stare before replying, "Actually, I wasn't planning on getting hurt, especially stabbed. I thought it would be a breeze. Heh, guess I was wrong huh?" She gives them a beaming smile as Atem and Mahad look at her in disbelief before anime falling on the ground.

Atem slowly gets up, wiping some sweat off his forehead with his eyes dimmed down. "Well, the important thing is that you're alright and Marik has been defeated, right Mahad?"

"Er…of course…" Mahad replies, still trying to recover from what Mana just said.

Later on that night, Atem joins Mana on her bed. He doesn't plan on being there long because she needs her rest. He lies on top of the covers facing her while she lies underneath them. She yawns before closing her eyes. "You're not going to fall asleep on me already are you?" asks Atem with a smirk.

"Nope. I'm just closing my eyes."

"Sounds more like sleeping to me."

"I am perfectly aware of everything going on while I'm sleeping thank you very much."

"Well excuse me princess."

"That's queen to you."

Atem chuckles. "I still can't believe you're not pregnant."

"Eh…I'm relieved. Cairo's already a handful. I don't think I could deal with another one of her."

"Come on. It's not like you'd be raising our child by yourself. We're a team remember?" Mana nods with a smile with her eyes still closed. She tries shuffling a bit in bed, only to hiss from the pain in her stomach. "Your movement is limited because of that."

"Yeah, I know. So you really want another baby huh?"

"Well I'm not desperate for another. I guess I can wait until you're ready."

"Yeah, in another hundred years."

"Mana." She laughs and he only shakes his head with a smile.

"How do you think Cairo would react to having a younger sibling?"

"I already know. I asked her earlier today."

Flashback

"Cairo, how would you feel if your mother had another baby?" asks Atem to Cairo who is leaning up against a wall with her arms folded across her chest.

"Another baby?" she asks again.

"Yes. Would you mind?" Cairo dims her eyes and gives him a blank stare with her mouth slightly agape for a couple of seconds before walking away.

End Flashback

"She enjoys being the only child," says Atem and Mana nearly bursts out laughing after hearing her daughter's reaction. "I think she likes the attention."

"So I guess we won't have to be in too much of a rush. But whether she likes it or not, we will add another face to the family and she'll just have to learn to deal with it." Atem smiles before kissing her on the forehead.

"I'm really proud of you Mana."

"Thank you," she replies and she sighs. "It's too bad I won't be ruling with you for awhile."

"It's fine. Just leave that to me. You just focus on getting your rest." Soon after saying that, there is silence and he starts to hear her calm breathing. 'Well…okay,' Atem thinks in his head with a sweatdrop. He kisses her on the forehead before getting up and starting toward the door. He looks back at her one last time and smiles. 'I'm proud of you…Queen of Egypt…'
