I do not own YuGiOh or YuGiOh GX, also I borrowed one name from TatianaSaphira for a name for Seto's father. I do, however, own the lovely Caylee Cadronez (Kaiba), and the new baby.

Without further adieu, please enjoy the last installment of "Fire and Ice". P.S I added a little bit of a drama twist!

Caylee smiled as she watched her three boys put some last minute touches to the nursery. She rubbed her stomach lovingly; a kick was received from the baby.

She was now nine months pregnant and almost ready to 'pop' as she kept putting it. She was very big and made moving a bit hard and back and feet ached a lot but she was just glad that she wouldn't have to deal with part for much longer and she would soon have her little child in her arms.

It had been after the honeymoon when she had asked Seto if he had wanted to know the gender of the baby but Seto had declined, saying that he had wanted it to be surprise for him, even though she knew.

Between him, Jaden and Mokuba, there was definitely enough stuff for when the baby arrived. Not to mention the large amount of stuffed animals and clothes they had gotten for the baby.

Caylee watched as Seto made the bed up for inside the crib, a small smile present across his face as he added the final touch with a baby Blue Eyes White Dragon toy in the corner.

"You guys have done a great job," she said from the doorway.

Mokuba and Jaden grinned at her, "We wanted to do it right," Mokuba said.

"Well you did do a great job," Caylee said as she walked over the wardrobe and pulled out a little book.

It was the baby book she had started from the month she had found out she was pregnant. She had placed all the sonograms from her first month in it, wanting to have a small piece of the pregnancy in it.

She felt arms wrap around her stomach or at least they tried too.

"Are you ready?" Seto asked, rubbing her stomach.

"I ready for this little one to come out, I feel like a whale," she exclaimed.

Jaden laughed at that, "What do you expect Mom? You're about ready to pop,"

She chuckled as she turned to two mischievous boys; her laughter was soon stopped when she saw that Mokuba was crying.

"Mokuba?" she asked softly, moving out of Seto's arms and over to her brother-in-law.

Mokuba looked up at her, tears pouring down his eyes.

"Mokuba, what's wrong?"

Mokuba embraced her and cried, his sobs broke her heart and wished she knew what caused him so much pain.

"I-I-I'm just scared that you might die like Mom did when she gave birth to me," Mokuba stuttered.

Caylee's eyes widened at his words and looked over at Seto for confirmation of the truth. Seto's eyes contacted with hers and he nodded, letting loose a few tears of his own at the memory.

"Oh Mokie," she whispered, before sitting down on the rocking chair with him in her lap.

"Those things just happen. I promise you, I'll be okay and so will your little niece or nephew. The doctors will do all they can to help me and make sure that both the baby and I will be okay. You'll see," Caylee said.

Mokuba nodded before wiping away his tears, "Okay, I'm sorry for being so scared,"

Caylee smiled before ruffling his hair, "It's okay to be fearful of that, you both lost your mother to that but know this, she will always love you and will watch over you,"

Mokuba smiled slightly at that. He left her arms and ran off with Jaden to go and play.

Seto walked over to her and kneeled before embracing her like he never wanted to let her go. Caylee could see the silver trails of tears on his face and smiled softly. She kissed his head and ran her hand through the brunet strands.

"Seto, I'll be okay, I promise," she whispered until he looked up at her.

Seto kissed her, rubbed her stomach lovingly, "I will do everything in my power to make sure nothing happens," he whispered.

"That's all we can hope for,"

It was the middle of the night when Caylee awoke to her baby kicking.

'God this kid has got a set of legs on it,' she thought while wincing as the baby kicked her in the bladder.

She looked over and saw the content and innocent look on her husband's face as he slept on in oblivion.

'Glad someone's getting some sleep,' she thought as she stood up to relieve herself.

Caylee moved over the bathroom softly, hoping not to wake up Seto.

"Okay, kid, try and get some sleep, Mommy wants some sleep before you arrive and she's left with little to no sleep for a couple of months," she whispered to herself once the door was closed.

The baby seemed to respond with another kick that brought a smile to her face.

All of a sudden a wave of pain brought her to her knees as she screamed. She was just able to catch herself before she crashed to ground in pain.

"Caylee! What's wrong?" Seto cried as he ran into the bathroom.

Caylee panted as another wave of pain racked her system.

"I-I think the b-baby is coming," she panted.

Those words in its self seemed to bring Seto into full awareness.

He quickly rushed to her side, helping her up. Caylee soon felt liquid fall down her legs as she began to breath like she had been taught in her Lamaze classes.

"Oh god," she stated, "My water just broke,"

Seto gasped and placed her on the bed as he grabbed the baby bag and placed it on the bed beside.

"I'm going to get the boys quickly," he stated hurrying out of the room.

Caylee panted as she stood to her feet and grabbed her bag to make her way out the door to wait as patiently as she could for the three boys to return.

Well that didn't last long.

"IF YOU THREE DON'T HURRY UP, THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY! I'M IN LABOUR FOR GODS SAKE!" she shouted in exasperation.

The three in question soon ran to her side and dragged her along until they reached a car in the garage.

Seto helped her in and then jumped over the bonnet and into the driver's side.

She would have laughed at that if she weren't in so much pain.

Within twenty minutes, Seto was racing her through to the ER part of the hospital.

The nurse on duty looked at them in shock.

"Please help, my wife's in labour," Seto cried.

The nurse went straight into action, barking out orders and bringing a wheel chair around for Caylee.

Caylee sat down instantly and held onto to Seto's hand tightly.

"I'll see you soon Babe," he said, kissing her on the head before she was wheeled away into a room.

Seto sat with Jaden and Mokuba while he started filling out the paperwork for Caylee. Mokuba was sitting on his phone, contacting all the others so they knew that Caylee was in labour.

He was soon finished and handed the paperwork over to the nurse in charge before sitting back down.

He began to pace back and forward as he waited for a nurse or a doctor to let him see Caylee. He knew that she wouldn't go into full labour for hours and he just wanted to be by her side.

One by one the others arrived to wait in the ER with them.

A doctor soon exited the doors from the rest of the ER wing.

"Mr Kaiba," the doctor said.

Seto rushed to his side.

"Yes?" he asked.

The doctor sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

"Mr Kaiba, we've had to take you wife into an emergency surgery. Her heart rate was too high and passed out on us, she was also beginning to bleed too much. We have to perform an emergency caesarean to save both your wife and your child," the doctor explained.

His words brought reality crashing down on Seto, leaving him in shock and only able to nod at the doctor.

Seto stood horror struck out in the hallway as the doctor turned back in the surgery part of the ER wing. His hands shook as Mokuba and Jaden ran to his side.

"Seto, what's wrong?" Mokuba cried out, grabbing onto his elbow.

Bakura, Marik and the others rushed up to him as well, all asking their questions as well, but it all went unnoticed by Seto as he was still in shock.

It finally became all too much and he burst out into tears and collapsed to the ground.

"Seto!" they cried.

His sobs soon rang through the room as he tried to tell everybody what was happening.

"T-they have to perform an emergency caesarean on C-Caylee. Her heart rate was too high and she was starting the bleed. They fear that Caylee and the baby may d-die if they don't," he stuttered.

They all gasped, Mokuba and Jaden burst out into tears. Seto leapt up to the two and brought them into his arms. All they could do was pray that both Caylee and the baby would make it.

~Seven Hours Later~

Everyone was on edge and frantic as they awaited news of Caylee and the baby.

Mokuba and Jaden had seemed to crash as the emotional stress had become too much for them.

Bakura and Marik were pacing.

Yugi, Ryou and Malik were biting their nails.

Yami was wringing his hands.

Seto was the worst – stress marks appeared on his face, bags sat under his eyes and his usual straight hair was all astray from running his hands through it.

A nurse walked up to them, "Mr Kaiba,"

Seto stood up in an instant, as did everyone else, even Mokuba and Jaden when they heard the nurse speak.

"Y-Yes?" he stuttered.

The nurse smiled at him, "You're the father of a healthy little boy,"

Seto's sapphire eyes widened at her words, "I have a son?"

She nodded at him.

Everyone sighed in relief but it was short-lived, as they hadn't been told about Caylee yet.

"What about my wife?" he asked.

The nurse became forlorn at his question.

The doctor soon arrived behind her, "Mr Kaiba?"

Seto turned to the doctor.

"Caylee has been stabilized but there are still some problems with the bleeding. I suggest that we do a hysterectomy, however this will prevent her from having any more children in the future. It may be the only we can save her," the doctor explained.

He gasped at the doctor's words. He had to make a choice, a choice that should have been left to Caylee. They talked about having more kids later on but if they did this, she couldn't give birth to her own.

But it was that or lose the one he loved.

He had to make the terrible decision.

"Do the surgery," he said solemnly.

The doctor nodded and left. The nurse was about to leave as well before Ryou called out.

"Wait, where is the nursery?" Ryou asked.

The nurse smiled, "Third floor,"

Seto stood there in shock as Ryou walked up to his side and grabbed his elbow.

"Let's go see your son," Ryou said quietly, leading him away from his morbid thoughts.

Seto watched on in awe through the window, as he looked at all the newborn babies that were present in the room.

A nurse brought a baby wrapped in a blue blanket to one of the empty cribs and placed the child inside. She grabbed a board and wrote a name on it.

Caylee Kaiba. It was their baby.

His little boy, his son – Seth Ryuu Kaiba.

Yugi came running up to them, he had originally stayed in the ER while Ryou, Bakura, Jaden and Mokuba had accompanied him to the nursery.

"Kaiba, the doctor is looking for you," Yugi said panting, "It's about Caylee,"

The moment Yugi said Caylee, Seto ran full pelt passed Yugi, not caring who he ran into.

He just wanted to know of his wife.

Seto almost ran into the doctor who had been keeping them updated on Caylee's condition. He only just managed to skid to a stop in front of the man.

"How is she? How is Caylee?" Seto panted.

The doctor smiled at him, a good omen in Seto's eyes.

"Caylee has survived the procedure and is now recovering in a private room as you requested Mr Kaiba," the doctor said.

Seto smiled, one that many had never seen on the man's face before.

"However, the next 48 hours is critical on whether it has been successful and Caylee will recover from the blood loss," the doctor said.

Seto nodded, "May I see her?"

The doctor nodded and led him to Caylee's room.

Seto found Caylee unconscious on her recover bed with two IV's hooked into her arm

One was fluid and the other was blood. There was a constant watch on Caylee's blood pressure as well as her heart rate. There was also oxygen mask covering her face, giving her much needed oxygen.

"She may not wake up for a while but we will keep a constant eye on her to see how she progresses in her recovery stages," the doctor said.

Seto nodded and the doctor walked off.

Seto walked blindly into the room, not really looking where he was going, his only intentions to be by Caylee's side. He sat down in a chair beside her and reached over to grab Caylee's left hand. He kissed and smiled at the rings present on her hand.

"I'm here Caylee. You gave us quite a scare back there but you're here and so is Seth," Seto whispered with a little smile, "You had the little boy you wanted, I didn't really get a good look at him but we will love him all the same. Please come back to us,"

Caylee was still out of it.

Seto started to cry and laid his head on the bed, never letting go of her hand as he silently prayed to all the know gods that she would return to his side and be there to help him raise their new family.

~Dream~

Caylee looked around the swirling darkness, uncertain of where she was. Her memory a little hazy but she remembered that she had been in labour and an extreme pain that had led to darkness.

"Where am I?" she asked to the darkness.

"The in-between," a voice said from behind her.

Caylee gasped and whirled around in a defensive position until she saw a woman behind her. She seemed friendly enough so Caylee left her defensive position yet she was still tensed up if waiting for an attack.

"Please calm down, you're my daughter-in-law, I will not harm you," the woman said holding up her hand.

Caylee stood there in confusion until it finally clicked who the woman was. Her beautiful black hair flowed down her back and sapphire eyes looked over at her.

Seto's mother.

She could truly see that Mokuba had inherited his mother's looks while Seto had inherited her eyes. Caylee could only assume that Seto took after his father while Mokuba had inherited his father's eyes.

"What do you mean the 'in-between'?" Caylee asked, almost fearful of what she thought it meant.

"You have a choice to make young one – move on into the Afterlife, free of pain and living an eternity with your family again or going back to the living and being with my son's and your sons," Seto's mother said.

Caylee's heart was torn – she would have given anything to see her family again, but she had her own now, a family that needed her greatly. She couldn't just leave it behind.

Caylee closed her eyes and moved her hands down to her stomach, rubbing it gently even though it was flat now.

"I will see my family again but now is not my time to move onto the Afterlife. I have a new family now and they need me," she said looking up at her mother-in-law.

She looked at Caylee harshly for a moment before her sapphire eyes softened and she smiled.

"My son truly has made the right choice for his happiness within you. I'm glad that you are there for my sons now," she said before turning around to walk into the darkness, "Look after them for me, I will see them again when it is their time,"

"Wait," Caylee called out, "What is your name? Seto never told me, I think the memories are still too painful for him,"

Seto's mother smiled at her.

"Sakura Nakota," she said, "My husband's name was Chisato Nakota,"

Caylee smiled, a small tear falling down her face.

"Thank you Sakura, I will look after them always,"

Sakura nodded at her, "Thank you . . . my daughter,"

~End Dream~

Slowly, Caylee blinked her eyes open to almost be blinded by a white light. She awoke to the constant beep of a heart monitor in her ear and a soft warm hand embracing her own.

She sighed softly and looked over to see Seto sleeping peacefully by her side, a small smile spread across her face at the soft sight of her husband sleeping beside her.

Caylee's smile soon turned to a frown as she tried to remember what had happened.

'There was so much pain and then I felt so ill, then everything turned to darkness. What happened? Where's my baby?' she thought, her panic beginning to rise.

A doctor soon appeared in the room.

"Mrs Kaiba, it's a pleasure to see you awake. We were all very worried about you," the doctor said.

Caylee frowned, "What happened?"

"Your heart rate was too high and you were bleeding a lot, you eventually passed out on us. To save both you and the baby, we performed an emergency caesarean," the doctor said, "Unfortunately, Mr Kaiba had to make the decision so that we could perform the surgery to prevent you from having anymore children, we would have lost you other wise,"

Caylee eye's widened and then looked down at Seto.

She knew that it had been a difficult decision to make but it was either that or lose her. Not something that either he or their new family would have wanted.

She could not be angry with him for making that decision.

Caylee smiled slightly, "It's okay, I would have done the same thing," she paused, "Where is my baby?"

The doctor smiled, "Your son is in the nursery but I will have someone bring him over shortly,"

She nodded as he left the room.

Caylee looked over at her husband and smiled, before rubbing her other hand over his hair in the hope that he would wake up.

"Seto, wake up," she said, rubbing his head.

Seto groaned and opened his eyes blearily before looking up into emerald eyes. He gasped before grabbing her into his embrace.

"Oh thanks Gods, Caylee you're alright," he whispered in her ear, rocking her back and forth in his embrace.

"I promised didn't I," she whispered back, wiping the tears from his eyes.

Seto pulled back and looked at her sadly in the eyes, before taking a steady breath as if he was getting the courage to say something. Caylee could already tell what he was going to say.

"Seto, I already know," she said, causing a look of confusion on his face, "The doctor already told me, I know you made the right decision,"

Seto's face fell and more tears followed, "But that should have been your choice,"

"Seto, if I had to make a choice, it still would have been the same. I would rather lose the ability to no more children and be with the family I have than die and leave everyone I care about behind," Caylee stated, grasping his face, praying that he would understand.

He sighed and looked up at her with sapphire eyes. He nodded, yet a small amount of guilt could still be portrayed in his eyes before he smiled with happiness.

"You got your wish, we have a little boy," Seto said.

Caylee smiled, "So the doctor told me, he's bringing in my baby now,"

Seto stood up and smiled, "I'll go and tell everyone the good news," before leaving her in the room.

Caylee turned her head and looked out the window to see the wind blowing Sakura blossoms along the trail.

'Thank you Sakura, I made the right choice. I'll make you proud,' she thought.

Her thoughts were interrupted as a nurse entered the room, wheeling a little crib into the room. She saw a name scrawled across the board. 'Baby Kaiba,'

Tears were brought to her eyes as the nurse lifted the baby out of the crib and into Caylee's arms.

Caylee brushed away the blue blanket off her son's head to have a good look at her son.

Auburn hair that could almost look like dark fire in the light bloomed across his head, soft to the touch, his skin as pale as his father's. The little boy yawned, stretching his little arms and blinking his eyes awakened.

She gasped at the beautiful sapphire eyes that stared back at her as she lay back on the cushions as she watched her little dragon for the first time.

Tears fell down her face. Her baby was just as she wished.

"Do you have a name for your little boy?" the nurse asked, holding birth certificate in her hand.

Caylee nodded as she ran her hand through the auburn hair, "Seth Ryuu Chisato Kaiba," she said.

The nurse nodded and wrote the details down and placed it on the crib, as well as on a little band to place around Seth's wrist.

Caylee was soon left alone with her son. Little sapphire eyes looked at her with curiosity before he gurgled and flapped his arms around. She couldn't help but chuckle at him, rocking him in her arms.

Seth grabbed on of her fingers and held it instinctively. Caylee smiled and began to sing a soft lullaby.

On the wind, cross the sea

Hear this song and remember

Soon you'll be home with me

Once upon a December

Noise from the door interrupted her thoughts. She looked over to see everybody coming into the room.

"Hey guys," she said.

Mokuba and Jaden rushed to her side and tried to hug her until they realised that she had Seth in her arms. Tears filled their eyes as they looked at him.

"Is this?" Mokuba started.

Caylee smiled, "Say hello to your little nephew Mokuba – Seth Ryuu Chisato Kaiba,"

She heard a gasp and looked up to see Seto standing behind Mokuba in shock.

"How?" he started.

Caylee looked down a little afraid to say anything more but she did, "Would you believe me if I told you that I had talked to your mother in the 'in-between'? She told me her name as well as your father's. I just thought . . . that you would like a little bit of something of him in your son,"

Mokuba and Seto truly teared up at her words before they both came and embraced her.

"Thank you Caylee," Seto whispered in her ear.

Mokuba looked at her with grey eyes, "What . . . did Mom look like? What did she say?"

"You look a lot like your mother Mokie, but Seto got her eyes. I didn't see your father but I assumed that Seto took after him while you got your father's eyes. She said she was glad that I was there for you two and that she would see you when your time came,"

They both nodded, smiles being brought to their faces. Mokuba moved out of the way and allowed Jaden to move over. The brown-eyed boy looked at Seth.

"Hey little brother," he whispered, placing a kiss on Seth's forehead.

Another hand played with Seth's hair, she looked up to see Seto smiling at his son.

"Do you want to hold him Seto?" she asked.

Seto nodded and held his arms out as she passed him his son.

He moved almost delicately as he positioned his son in his arms, almost like he was afraid that he would break him. Seth gurgled in his arms and Seto could help but chuckle and kiss Seth on the forehead.

Caylee watched on with tears in her eyes as Seto cooed over his newborn son. Seth was now only a day old but she could already see that he had his father wrapped round his little finger.

'After everything thing I've been through, I've finally found my reason to live on,' she thought as her new found family watched over their newest member, 'This is what I live for now,'

They say that Fire and Ice cannot co-exist.

Fire will melt Ice

And Ice will extinguish Fire

But with our two hearts – One being Fire, One being Ice

We found our half

The one that we had missed

For our love is

Fire and Ice
