Summary: Five years have passed since Atem and Tea got married and had their twins Yuki and Kimika, but there is a woman who is infatuated with Atem and is doing everything in her power to take Tea's place in his heart and his life. Will she succeed?
Chapter 7
It's been exactly one week since the Tea and the twins were attacked by those thugs. They were sent away to jail after being caught a few days after the attack and were now serving time with not only for assault, but for robbery and carjacking. So they were sent away for a long time without parole. It was around ten in the evening and Tea was in her and Atem's bedroom wrapping some gifts she bought for Yuki and Kimika's fifth birthday which was in three weeks. Right now her little twins were in their room supposed to be getting ready for bed, but it seems that they were still awake because they wanted to wait up for Atem to come home from the company. Tea had been worried about Atem for the past week since he was working much harder than before and he wasn't getting any sleep from it. He's been doing all nighters for two straight days and was extremely exhausted, but she made sure that he took a break and not over exert himself.
Placing down one of Yuki's gifts after she finished wrapping it, Tea stood up from the bed and checked on her twins. She could hear them both laughing from their bedroom and when she stepped inside, she could see Kimika sitting on her bed while she was watching Yuki jumping up and down on his bed. Shaking her head, Tea walked in and stopped him.
"Honey, don't jump on the bed like that. You could get hurt." she said sitting him down.
"I was just having a little fun." Yuki said. Tea smiled.
"Well now it's time for bed, you two should've been asleep by now." Kimika came over and crawled up onto Yuki's bed sitting next to the both of them.
"But Mommy, we wanted to wait until Daddy came home." she said holding on her panda, Patches. Tea looked at her daughter and moved a little of her hair behind her ear.
"Sweetie, Daddy's going to be home very late tonight because he has alot of work to get done. Plus I don't think he wants you guys to sit up so late and not getting your rest now, do you?" she said. Yuki and Kimika both shook their head.
"No, but if we do fall asleep, can you wake us when Dad comes home?" Yuki asked.
"Okay, I'll wake you, but only to say goodnight to him, okay? Now come on, it's way passed your bedtime." After Tea tucked Yuki in his bed, she picked up Kimika placing her into her bed and tucking her in just like her brother. Just as soon as she settled them in, they went straight to sleep a minute later. Tea turned off the light and closed the door, but she left it ajar so that if they woke up, the light from the hallway would guide them out of the room. Standing outside the hall for a second, Tea sighed and walked back into her bedroom finishing up her task while she waited for Atem to return home.

Atem was sitting at his desk inside his office filling out more paperwork feeling himself becoming extremely drained out. Never had he thought that Mutou Inc. would become so busy, but that's the price for being a C.E.O. All week it's been more meetings than he could count and it was all because of the return of Seto Kaiba. Since both of their companies provided the same business, it was becoming an all out battle on which company would be number one. Now Atem doesn't hate the fact that Kaiba has returned, he enjoys the feeling of a great challenge, it's just he hardly has anytime for his family anymore and he's lacking on his sleeping. Also, Atem's been getting more offers from other companies about, you guessed it, merging with them. He was going to completely go insane if he got one more offer like that. It's like they didn't understand simple comprehension when Atem says 'no'.
Placing his pen down on the desk, Atem sighed tiredly and rubbed his eyes to wake himself up a bit while spinning his chair around to face the window. Looking down at the city lights and at his watch, he could see that it was much later than he realized and knew that Tea had placed the twins in bed which he knew that they were asleep by now. For the past couple of nights, he missed his goodnight rituals with them and felt a bit down since he couldn't be there at the moment. He also felt upset knowing that Tea was up waiting for him to come home while bearing a look of worry on her face. There were times when he would tell her that she didn't have to wait up for him so late, but she refused to rest seeing as how he wasn't resting properly. Letting out a smile, Atem sighed thinking just how fortunate he was to have a loving and devoted wife like Tea. That's why he loved her so much and made sure that she and the twins were well protected; that no harm came either one of them.
Atem snapped out of his thoughts when he heard a knock on his office door and raised an eyebrow in confusion as to who it was. It couldn't be Katie because he let her go home an hour ago. Spinning his chair around, he stood up and walked over to answer the door, but now he wished he didn't because it was none other than Vivan standing there with the most fakest smile in the world.
"Hello Atem darling." she said and walked into the office like she had the up most authority in the world. Atem was seriously ticked off and wondered if this woman is testing his patience on her.
"You just don't know when to quit, right?" he asked coldly.
"Why do you have to be so mean to me Atem? Honestly you hold such a grudge against me." Atem scoffed.
"That's right, I do have huge grudge against you after what you did to me those years ago and that stunt you pulled by putting my family in danger which I still know that you were responsible for it so you can keep denying all you want. You make me absolutely sick just looking at you. Now tell me what you want so I can hurry up and kick you out of my office." he said. Vivian let out a giggle and pulled out some papers out of her bag to hand to Atem. He snatched them out of her hands and looked through them.
"What is this?"
"Well, those are documents I had printed up for you. I have a very special proposition that I know you won't refuse and it will help you with your company. I thought it would be a great idea for me to be a sponsor for you."
"Hell no!" Atem threw the papers up in the air and walked over to his desk while Vivian picked them up and followed him.
"Oh c'mon Atem, I know that Seto Kaiba is back in town and has moved his company here as well. You two have the top most popular companies and I know that there can only be one that can own the number one spot. Now since I'm known from all of my fans of being the most talented Broadway star, I can help you to reach that top rank and put Seto Kaiba in his place." Atem was facing the window and Vivian was standing behind him putting both of her hands on his arms.
"Don't be a fool and pass this up Atem, you will be known throughout Domino City and everyone worldwide will know the 'Famous Atem Mutou'. With me by your side, it will happen for you." she said. Atem stood silently looking out at the city lights and after about two minutes went by, he slowly turned to face Vivian again. She let out a smirk and handed Atem back the papers he threw.
"All it needs is your approval and we'll be working side by side getting what we want in the palm of our hands." Lifting his hand, Vivian placed the papers in Atem's hand and waited for him to sign them, but before she could do her victory dance in her mind, she let out a shriek when Atem took out his lighter from his pocket to burn the forms and silently enjoyed watching them being destroyed. He dropped them into his empty waist basket on the side of his desk and Vivian quickly glared at him.
"Have you lost you mind!? Why did you do that!?"
"Because I felt like it, can't you see that I don't want you anywhere near me and yet you come into my office and bring out these forms expecting me to just jump up and work with you? If anyone has lost their minds today, it's you Vivian. No one is going to tell me how to run my company because I'm going to run the way I see fit."
"But you don't know what you're giving up! Think about it, we'll be working together and it'll be just like when we were together those years ago. I'm doing this for you and make you remember about all the most treasured moments we had. I haven't forgotten and I know you haven't either. You need someone to help you and I know that Tea isn't doing much. She's not as reliable to you as I'm willing to be." Atem all of a sudden just burst out laughing.
"Now I know what your game is. This isn't about my company, this is about me giving up everything in my life that's making me happy so that I can take you back and be as miserable as I was before, right?"
"W-well, maybe it is, I just wanted you to realize what we had before we broke up. The memories we shared, the times we spent being happy, there's not a moment that goes by that I don't think about you." Atem shook his head. Without noticing though, his door opened silently and Kaiba came inside but he kept quiet since he didn't want his presence known yet.
"You mean there's not a moment that goes by when you don't think about my money, right?"
"Of course not, I love you." she said in a desperate voice.
"See Vivian, those words coming from you mean absolutely nothing to me and that's what makes me choose Tea over you any day. When she tells me she loves me, I can feel the emotion and the warmth radiating from her. Everyday I'm here at this company and I have to deal with same crazy schemes like you just pulled, but when I go home to Tea and my kids, I'm welcomed with open arms. Just face it Vivian, I'm finally happy with the woman I love and it's eating you up inside that it's not you anymore. So I'm telling you now, whatever future schemes you have to try and split me and Tea up, you better quit them now because in the end, they're just going to blow up right in your face. Now, get the hell out of my office and out of my life!" he hissed at her. Vivian stood with wide eyes and backed up slowly to go out the door and out of the company hardly even noticing Kaiba standing at the door with his eyes closed and his arms crossed as he witnessed the whole scene. He looked up to see Atem staring out of his window again oblivious to the fact that he entered the room.
"Well, it looks like I'm not the only one who's getting offers from sponsers." he said. Atem quickly turned his head finally noticing Kaiba in his office.
"I suppose you're right, didn't expect you to come here Kaiba." he said. Kaiba smirked.
"Yeah well, I wanted to check out how the competition is doing. I'm going to be the top ranked company and I'm going to do it myself without any help from annoying paparazzi." he said. Atem smirked back.
"Well that makes two of us Kaiba and I look forward to the challenge."
"So I see that woman is trying to sink her hooks into you. Is she a past girlfriend?" Kaiba asked.
"She's nothing to me and she can fall off the face of the Earth for all I care." Atem said.
"Wow, never thought I would hear you say something like that out of your mouth."
"That's how I feel about her after she made me feel like a damn fool. So as far as compassion and kindness goes, I have none for that bitch."
"Well, as long as she doesn't get in the way of anything, it's not any of my concern. You look like you haven't slept a wink, how are you going to concentrate if you're not sleeping?" he asked. Atem looked up at Kaiba with a surprised expression.
"I didn't think you cared Kaiba." he said. Kaiba crossed his arms and looked away.
"Hmph, I don't. I just don't want to win under a technicality of you sleeping on the job. So do yourself a favor and go home, you won't be able to concentrate if you're not resting." Kaiba then turned around to walk out of the office leaving Atem alone again. Atem smiled and shook his head still not understanding the personality of his rival. So gathering up his things, Atem closed everything down and made his way out of the company eager to get home to his family.

It was now past midnight and Tea was in her night ware waiting downstairs in the living room for Atem to come home. She had finished wrapping the twins' presents a half hour ago and to keep her busy, she chatted online with Cathy and Lisa. It was doing the job, but she was still worried about Atem and wanted him home even more as the clock was ticking away. Just then, she heard a car coming up into the driveway and knew that it was her husband finally coming inside. So saying goodbye to her friends, she closed out her laptop storing it away and went to the door just as it was opening up. Tea watched as Atem slowly stepped in and looked as though he was lost. When she met with his eyes, Tea could see the fatigue and the bags under them. She walked over to greet him with a hug which he returned immediately. Atem didn't care where his things landed on the ground, all he wanted was to feel the warmth of Tea's arms around him.
"I'm sorry I'm so late." he whispered against her neck. Tea let her hands travel up so that they were buried in Atem's hair while she turned her head to kiss her cheek.
"It's okay, I'm just glad you're home. Was it another busy day?" she asked.
"Yeah, it was and I thought my night was going to be pleasant." Atem let go of Tea and walked over to the sofa to sit. He let out a long sigh as he laid his head back resting his eyes. Tea followed and sat down next to him and gently moved him over so that he was laying on her shoulder.
"Did something happen?" Atem nodded.
"Vivian came by the office tonight wanting me to agree to her sponsorship to the company which I told her flat out no." Tea sighed while playing with Atem's golden bangs.
"She's doing everything she can think of to find an excuse to close to you."
"Well you know what, she's just waisting her time and now thanks to her, I didn't get the rest of my work done while I was at the office. So instead I brought them home and it looks like I'm going to have another all nighter." Tea kissed Atem's forehead while laying her head on top of his.
"Atem, you're exhausted. Can't you just finish them after you rest a bit?" she asked. Atem moved to stand up and he brought Tea up with him. He could see just how worried she was by looking in her eyes, but he could also see how tired she was too. He lifted his hand up so that he was touching the locks of her brown hair.
"I wish I could, but the faster I get them done, the more time I can rest." he said. Tea sighed.
"But look at you, you're so tired and it looked like you were about to collapse at the door."
"I know you're worried, but I'm fine. I've done all nighters before so this is nothing. I'm more concerned about you and your lack of sleeping, I can tell you're just as exhausted as I am. Why don't you go on up and rest, okay?" he suggested. Tea shook her head.
"No, how can I rest knowing that you're up working not getting your sleep? It wouldn't be right." Atem smiled and kissed her lips lightly, but passionately.
"You know, you're becoming more stubborn everyday." Tea raised her eyebrow and smirked playfully.
"Look who's talking, you're the definition of stubborn."
"I guess that's why we're made for each other."
"I guess so." she said. After they turned off the lights downstairs, Atem and Tea both walked upstairs while leaning on each other. They walked towards their bedroom, but stopped in front of Yuki and Kimika's room. Opening the door slowly, they looked inside and found them both still fast asleep.
"You know, they wanted to stay up until you came home." Tea said. They went in and quietly looked at their children's sleeping faces. Atem stood over Yuki and stooped down to place his hand on his head. This caused Yuki to stir in his sleep and open his eyes to see his father in front of him.
"Dad?" he whispered. Atem smiled and then he turned when he heard a small whimper coming from Kimika. Tea had her in her arms and carried her over to sit down on Yuki's bed.
"Daddy." She and Yuki both gave their father a hug and Atem felt so much better. He forgot about his work, the whole rivary with Kaiba and most importantly, he forgot the whole incident that happened tonight with Vivian. This moment right now was all that he cared about and it was the only thing that mattered to him. He pulled back so that he could look at the happy, sleepy faces of his kids.
"Sorry I came home so late guys, but I'm here so you don't have to worry, okay?" he said.
"Okay, can we stay up for a little while?" Yuki asked. Tea shook her head.
"I'm sorry honey, but you two have to get back in bed. We just wanted you to know that Daddy came home so you can sleep easily knowing he's here." she said.
"But, tomorrow Dad has to go back to work and we won't see him like today or the other days." Yuki said. Kimika hugged her panda as she nodded her head agreeing with her brother.
"Yes you will because I know you guys are missing me and I know I haven't been spending as much time with you because of my job, so I'm taking a few days off, alright?" Atem said.
"Really?" Kimika asked. Atem chuckled and kissed her forehead.
"Really, little angel."
"Alright, time to get you guys back into bed." Tea said. Yuki and Kimika both gave little pouts.
"Aw, do we have to?" they both said together.
"Listen to your mother, back to bed." Atem said gently. So obeying their parents, Yuki and Kimika got back into their beds only this time, both Atem and Tea kissed them goodnight and they went fast asleep after a minute later. Closing the door Atem and Tea went to their master bedroom for the night. Atem entered the bathroom to shower while Tea stayed waiting for him to come back. She got herself comfortable on the bed resting her head on the pillow letting out a tired sigh. Since her eyes were closed for the moment, Tea didn't notice how much time went by or the sound of the bathroom door opening until she felt the bed move slightly and lips being pressed against hers in a kiss. When the kiss ended, she opened her eyes and smiled when she found Atem next to her in a gray shirt and loose black pants with his hair slightly wet.
"Wow it really works, wake the sleeping princess with her true love's kiss." Atem said. Tea giggled and shook her head as Atem laid his head beside hers.
"I think you're reading Kimika too many stories." she said.
"You know, that's exactly what I said to Katie a few years ago and I never thought that I would be reading them myself. They're actually not that bad." he said.
"I can see, since you and Yuki love to act out the characters." she said. Atem blushed and grinned.
"Oh, you saw that?" he asked.
"Mm-hmm, seen it a few nights ago when I was putting the laundry away and it was such a sweet little scene." Atem was still blushing and started to laugh nervously.
"Well, you know, Kimika wanted me to and I couldn't say no and that's when Yuki wanted to join in and help me." Tea laughed and kissed Atem's lips lovingly.
"You are such a great dad."
"That's means alot coming from the world's greatest mom." Tea giggled and drew circles on Atem's chest while Atem picked up the alarm clock on the night table on his side making Tea see that he was setting the alarm for the time he wanted to be awake for.
"3 AM? Atem that only gives you about two hours of sleep." she said. Atem placed the clock back on the table and nodded to Tea.
"I know, but those papers aren't going to get done themselves." Tea sighed and slid her hand across his chest making him sigh in comfort.
"You're working too hard, when you get finished I don't want you to do anything else until you're well rested again, promise me." Atem lifted her hand from his chest and placed a kiss on top of it.
"Alright, I promise." Once the promise was made, they gave each other another kiss before closing their eyes and drifting to sleep.

CRASH! CRASH!
That loud sound was from inside Vivian's dark, huge bedroom as she was throwing her expensive wine glasses against the wall. The buns in her hair were messed up and a few strands were framing her face making it a little hard for her to see, but she didn't care. Vivian was so full of rage from what happened tonight in Atem's office. The words he said to her made her realize that Atem was really gone from her life. However, she couldn't stand for it and refused to believe that the words were true, she wanted to be the lady in his life. So to vent out her anger, she looked for whatever she can get her hands on; lamps, her accessories, her shoes, anything and she threw them at the wall making a huge mess. When she couldn't find anything else, Vivian slid slowly down to the floor breathing harshly with a menacing glare on her face.
"Why, why can't I have you?" she whispered. She then turned her head to find one of Atem's photo's on the floor and picked it up. All she did was stare at the picture as if it was the real thing.
"Tell me, tell me what does she have that I don't!? Tell me!!" When the picture wouldn't answer back, Vivian threw it beside her and banged her fist at the wall. Once her whole temper tantrum was done, there was another photo that floated over to her and looking down to the floor, Vivian saw that the picture was faced down. So turning it over, she thought that a vein would pop from her skull because the picture was of Atem and Tea from a newspaper article a few years ago announcing their new marriage. Vivian didn't realize she had it and she was disgusted with herself when she didn't notice it was in her possession.
"That should be me, not you married to him! What is it that makes you special to him!?" she screamed and tore up the picture in pieces throwing them into the air not caring where they landed. Then that's when the thought hit her and suddenly an evil smirk appeared on her face. A plan was forming into her mind.
"I know what I need to do, it'll take some time to plan everything, but it will be worth it to have that wench out of the way for good. If I can't have Atem love me freely, then I'll just have to make him love me." Picking up another wine glass that rolled on the floor, she threw it against the wall making another loud crash and let out a psycho laugh.
88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Atem woke up out of his sleep when he heard his alarm clock go off letting him know that it was 3 AM. He quickly pressed the button turning off the alarm and turned over to see Tea still asleep, oblivious to the fact that the alarm went off. Atem knew that it was because she was extremely tired so gently, without waking her, he kissed her lightly on her cheek and stood up from the bed making his way to the study room. On his way, he first checked inside Yuki and Kimika's room and saw that they were still asleep also. After he made sure they were okay, he continued on his way down the hall and entered the study room. He grabbed his briefcase that was laying on the couch and brought it over to the desk. Atem sat down and opened his laptop signing into his account and continued with his work.
'Looks like I'm going to be busy for the rest of the night, better get started.'
88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
It was now around mid-afternoon and the day was almost halfway to the end. The morning consisted of Tea waking up to the bright sunlight that came in through the window, but when she looked beside her, Atem wasn't there next to her and guessed that he woke up during the night to continue his work. She guessed right when she found him typing on his laptop and filling out forms. Papers were scattered everywhere and when he sighed to take a break, that's when she went inside and kissed him good morning which he graciously accepted from her. Around noon, Katie stopped by with Alicia and she talked a bit with Tea while Yuki, Kimika and Alicia played outside so that Atem could finish working. Then a few hours later, Katie had to leave and she took Alicia while saying goodbye to Tea and the twins.
While Yuki and Kimika were upstairs, Tea thought that she would get a start on dinner. While she started preparing what she was going to make, she didn't notice Atem coming downstairs until she felt his arms wrap around her and his kisses against her neck. Turning around, Tea could see him Atem smiling at her, but she could also see the exhaustion in his eyes and knew the two hours of sleep that he got last night wasn't enough for him. Taking her hand, she placed on his cheek to caress it soothingly.
"You finished your work?" she asked. Atem nodded while leaning into the touch of her hand.
"Finally." he whispered. Tea giggled.
"I'm glad, now you can get the rest you need. I'm going to start dinner and it should be done soon." Atem leaned down until his lips were lightly touching hers.
"You need any help?" Tea could feel a shiver run up her spine from the close, intimate contact from Atem and shook her head slowly.
"No, you've been up for three nights and I want you to take it easy. Besides, it's nothing too big to do."
"Well, if you're sure." he said hesitantly since he really wanted to offer his help to her and Tea could tell what he was thinking on his mind. So she closed the half-inch gap between their lips and kissed him. She slowly pulled back while nodding her head.
"I'm positive, all I want you to do is just rest, okay?" she said. Atem sighed and smiled.
"Alright, I'll go and check on the kids while you do that."
"Thank-you my love." she whispered. Giving Tea one more kissed, he left the kitchen but not without turning to wink his eye making her laugh and he walked up the stairs to the twins room.
88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
Kimika was sitting on her bed while once again watching Yuki jump up and down on his bed. Now when she watched him last night, it was really funny because as he jumped up, he would make funny faces and funny poses too. But now, it wasn't funny at all; now she was a bit worried because of what Tea said to him about being hurt.
"Yuki, I think you should stop now. Mommy said not to jump on the bed, remember?" she said. Yuki kept on with his jumping and gave his sister a cheeky grin letting her know he was alright.
"Don't worry so much Kimika, if I be careful then I won't get hurt, right?" Kimika nodded but she wasn't all too sure.
"I..I guess." she said.
"Watch this, I'm going to do a back flip while I jump up in mid-air." Kimika gasped.
"No, don't do that!" Yuki put a little power into his jump and went up much higher than before. When he was high up enough, he flipped his body backwards, but when he came back down, his foot slipped on the blanket and he fell hard off of his bed. It took a minute for him to wonder what happened, but after that minute passed, he felt pain shoot up in his arm where he had to cradle it with his hand. Kimika, worried for her brother ran over to help him.
"Yuki, are you okay!?" she asked. Yuki was struggling to keep on a brave face, but the pain was intense for him where a tear leaked out of his eye. Atem came inside with a panic look on his face and ran over to the twins.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Yuki fell off the bed." Kimika said. Just then, Tea came inside as well when she heard the noise and saw Yuki holding his arm. She stooped down to examine him.
"Oh no, how did this happen?" she asked.
"He fell off the bed Mommy."
"My arm...it hurts!" Yuki said moaning in pain and trying to hold in his tears, but it was becoming a difficult task and a few leaked from his eyes.
"Tea, we have to get him to a doctor." Atem said while gently picking Yuki up from off the floor and Tea picked up Kimika while following Atem out to the car. He placed Yuki inside and could see that he was trying as hard as he could not to cry, but Atem patted his head in comfort.
"It's going to be alright son." he said. Yuki sniffled and nodded. When Tea placed Kimika in the car, she made sure that Yuki was settled too before sitting up front with Atem in the driver's seat. Atem started the car and made their way to the hospital.
88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
When they arrived at the hospital, Atem and Tea were lucky to see Dr. Tsuki in the lobby. Ever since Yuki and Kimika have been born, she have been the one to handle all of their medical visits. When she saw them coming up to her, Dr. Tsuki looked concerned when she saw Yuki holding his arm and gestured for all of them to come inside one of the occupied rooms. Sitting Yuki up on the bed, Dr. Tsuki started to examine his arm. She pressed certain areas on Yuki's arm to find where the pain was the most strongest and she found it when Yuki shrieked in pain.
"Well, the good news is Yuki's arm isn't broken, it's just a sprain. All it needs is to be in a small cast for at least a week." Atem and Tea sighed in relief.
"Oh thank goodness." Tea said.
"Thank-you Doctor." Atem said. Dr. Tsuki smiled.
"It's no trouble, I'll be right back and we can take Yuki into x-ray just to be on the safe side." She walked out the room to prepare for when Yuki would have to get his arm x-rayed. Kimika ran over to sit next to Yuki and did the best she could to cheer him up and make him forget the pain for a moment. Tea turned to Atem and saw his exhausted, worried face. Taking his hand in hers, she was able to make Atem look at her.
"You know, this could take about an hour so why don't you take Kimika home?" she said.
"I can't just leave you and Yuki here."
"We'll be fine, I'm really concerned about you. It's like you're going to fall out any second." Atem sighed knowing that Tea was right.
"Okay, I'll have Bailey come pick you guys up when you're ready." He then kissed her lips before walking over to stand in front of Yuki. Atem gave him a hug telling him that he was going to be okay.
"You be brave now, alright?" Yuki nodded.
"Okay Dad." Atem patted his head and then picked up Kimika carrying her out of the room. After the door was closed, Tea sat down next to Yuki giving him a hug too.
"Are you mad at me Mom?" he asked. Tea was surprised by his question.
"No, why would you ask me that?"
"Because I didn't listen to you when you said not to jump on the bed." he said wiping his eyes furiously trying to stop himself from crying. Tea just held him and kissed his forehead.
"Honey, there is nothing that you can do that will ever make me angry with you. I'm more worried than I am angry, now you see why I don't want you jumping on the bed or doing anything else that's dangerous because you can get hurt like right now."
"Yeah, I promise Mom, I'll never do something like this again." Tea smiled.
"Good, I'm glad to hear that."

Atem walked out of the hospital heading to the car with Kimika still in his arms. As he was walking though, there were two guys that he was passing by which he didn't care about...that is until the conversation they were having made him stop. The guys didn't notice Atem's erupt stop because they were so busy talking so they were oblivious from the fact that he was listening.
"Did you see that woman that went about a half hour ago with some kid?" the guy said.
"Yeah, she was hot." The first guy laughed.
"I bet she would be a good lay, I would love to have a taste of her." Atem silently walked to his car to open the door and put Kimika inside the backseat.
"Little angel, you stay here for just a minute, okay? Daddy will be right back." he said. Closing the door, Atem went back to the two guys standing at the entrance and he could still hear them talking. Without giving them a warning, Atem punched the first guy in the face making him fall off balance.
"Dude, what the hell do you think you're doing?" he said wiping the blood from his mouth. Atem still didn't say anthing and just picked up the guy punching him again, but this time, he held his collar and rammed him against the wall.
"So you want to have a taste of my wife, do you?" he said in a low, scary, vicious voice that brought shivers down the guy's spine.
"W-wait man, I was just joking!" he said trying desperately to save his life.
"I don't see the humor in it, man. You and your friend are going to wish you've never said anything about her." Atem gave one last hard punch to the guy knocking him out cold. He then slowly turned to the other guy who was cowering on the ground.
"If you don't want to end up like your buddy over here, I suggest you go before I take my anger out on you too." The guy didn't need to be told twice because he just zoomed out leaving his friend behind. Atem went back to the car making sure that Kimika was alright before he started the car and headed home.

When Atem and Kimika returned home, Atem went over to the phone and called Bailey to have him escort Tea and Yuki home from the hospital after they were ready to leave. After that was done, Kimika led Atem upstairs to her room and looked up with a smile.
"Let's play horsey, you be the horse." Atem smiled and let out a tired sigh.
"Sweetie, Daddy is very tired."
"Okay, I'll be the horse." She then crawled around and made cute little raspberry sounds from her mouth as if she was a real horse and Atem laughed while picking her up from the floor.
"Whoa there for a second, since we have about an hour until Mommy comes home with Yuki, why don't you lay down and take a little nap?" he said. Kimika let out a cute little pout.
"I don't want to take a nap."
"Daddy doesn't really care, Daddy is exhausted because Daddy was up all night doing paperwork he thought his head was going to spin. So Daddy says, you're taking a nap." Atem said while kissing Kimika's cheek and laying her down on her bed.
"Tell you what, I'll lay here for minute beside you, okay?" Atem laid his head down on Kimika's pillow and was fast asleep within seconds after his eyes were closed. Kimika just stared at him expecting him to still be awake.
"Daddy?" she called out. When Atem didn't answer, she knew that he was asleep. So she took one of her little blankets and covered him up like he would tuck her in at night and then she kissed his cheek.
"Goodnight." she said and then got up from the bed to play with her toys.

An hour went by and Tea and Yuki thanked Bailey for giving them a ride home from the hospital. Yuki had on a blue cast and the pain wasn't as bad as it was from earlier. After they said goodbye to him, Tea opened the door and noticed that it was quiet than it should be which was weird because she should at least hear Kimika somewhere. Walking a little further into the house, Tea could hear sounds of the TV being on and looked into the living room to see Kimika watching it. She looked up and smiled seeing her mother and brother coming inside.
"Hi Yuki, hi Mommy!" she said and ran over to hug her mother.
"Hi sweetie, where's your Daddy?" Tea asked. Kimika held her finger to her lips.
"Shhh, Daddy is sleeeeeping." she whispered. Tea giggled.
"Alright, I'm going to go check on him. You guys stay here and I'll order a pizza for us, okay?" Yuki and Kimika gasped happily.
"Okay." they both said together. When Tea made sure that the twins were settled, she went upstairs and looked to where her husband was sleeping. Looking into her room she shared with him, Tea saw that the bed was untouched and then looked in the other rooms to find where he could be. When she passed Yuki and Kimika's room, she back tracked and found Atem resting on Kimika's bed with her blanket covering him. She smiled seeing how peaceful he was sleeping and walked inside to sit next to him. Leaning down, Tea lightly kissed his lips making Atem moan and wake himself up. Tea pulled back to see his eyes opening.
"Hey sleepy head." she said.
"Hey...when did you get back?" he asked hoarsely.
"Just now, found Kimika downstairs when I came inside with Yuki." Atem placed his hand over his eyes.
"I'm sorry Tea, I was suppose to have just laid down for a minute. I guess that minute turned into an hour." Tea smiled and shook her head.
"Honey it's okay, I know you're tired and it looked like your daughter knew too because she took the liberty into tucking you in." Atem chuckled.
"Yeah, I see. How's Yuki doing?" he asked.
"He's fine, his arm is in a cast and it'll be taken off within a week. He was a real trooper, just like his Dad."
"I'm glad he's alright, you know I'm starving." Tea giggled.
"Well, you're in luck because I just ordered a pizza for us."
"Just what I'm craving for." Atem stood up from the bed and pulled Tea along with him, but before he stepped out the room, he kissed her tenderly on her lips. Breathlessly pulling back, they continued their way downstairs where Yuki and Kimika were waiting for them.
