Chapter Three

As Joey laid on the bed, he started thinking back to the day that he and his father had that big fight and what his father had said to him and tears ran down his face and he balled up his fist and thought to himself "how the hell does he expect me to ever forget him telling me that the woman that raised and loved me wasn't my mother? Hell it didn't matter that another woman gave birth to me but to say that Victoria wasn't my mother well that the worse then he could of done." As tears ran down his face Joey fell asleep.

The next morning Cassandra woke me up and said "me have go potty daddy." I smiled and got up and helped her to the bathroom and after she was done I said "want to go see if grandpa is awake and get some breakfast?" She smiled at me and took off to find grandpa.

Yugi called and told me about Mokuba talking to him and all I said was "hell why would Kaiba be upset after all this time? He's the one who wanted to break off and just be friends." Yugi said "I know, but maybe he changed his mind after you left, have you thought about that?"

I chuckled and then I said "maybe he should of thought about that before he sent me that damn letter and totally destroyed my feelings for him." Yugi agreed with me and then he said "hey, the gang is going to be at the Park later on, do you want to come with Yami and me?"

I thought for a moment and then I said "sure it would be fun to see everyone again and Cassandra loves the swings, could you come by and get us?"

Yugi then said "be there in two hours." We talked a little while longer and then I went to have breakfast and tell my father that Cassandra and I were going to go to the Park.

After breakfast and while I was washing off Cassandra's face and hands I told my father "Yugi and Yami are coming over after while and we're going to the Park to see the gang." Cassandra's eyes got really big and she smiled and squealed and said "me swing daddy?" Greg and Joey laughed as they watched this little one jump and down and Joey said "hey, not so high or daddy won't be able to catch you." Cassandra laughed and then she threw her arms around Joey's legs and said "me love you daddy."

Cassandra ran to the living room and Greg followed while Joey did the dishes and Cassandra asked her grandpa "you come too?" Greg smiled at her and was about to tell her he couldn't when Joey came into the room and said "hey, why don't you come dad it would be fun." Greg smiled at his son and said "thanks, I think I will."

When Yami pull the Hummer into the driveway, Cassandra said "grandpa someone is here." Greg smiled and walked to the door and opened it and in came Yami and Yugi and as Cassandra looked at them she seemed confused. Joey smiled at his daughter and then he said "Cassandra this is Yami, he's Yugi's best friend."

Yami held out his hand and Cassandra smiled up at him and she took his hand and told him "hi." Joey got the basket that Greg had fixed, change of clothes and some panties and a big blanket and the he said "dad's coming with us."

Yugi and Yami both said "lets go." So we all got into the Hummer and we were off to the Park. As Yami parked the Hummer in the shade, the others got out and Cassandra let out a squeal and looked at her daddy who shook his head yes, and off she ran with Joey right behind her.

Yami, Yugi and Greg got the stuff and went to a table in the shade and sat down and watched Joey chase his daughter and they would laugh when he would pretend to fall down and Cassandra would go over and sit on his stomach and tickle him and he would laugh, then Joey would grab her and she would wiggle till she got free and she'd take off again. They finally got to the swings and Joey sat on one with his daughter on his lap and he would begin to swing as Cassandra laughed and said "higher daddy go higher."

They were having a great time when a black limo drove by and inside Seto noticed that it was Yami's Hummer in the parking lot and he told the driver to "stop and as he lowered his window he say that Greg Wheeler was with Yugi and Yami and then he looked towards where Greg was pointing and there on a swing was Joey holding a little girl that looked a lot like him. Then he told his driver to take him to Kaiba Corp."

While Joey was swinging his daughter something made him look to the side and he saw a limo stop and then he saw the window lower and there was Seto and he was looking over this way. Joey couldn't let it bother him or his daughter would know that something was wrong and today was for her to enjoy, so Joey put it out of his mind. Then Joey heard a familiar voice yell "hey, Joey long time no see!" It was Tristan and with him was Duke and Tea. Joey stopped the swing and said Cassandra "want to go meet some of daddy's old friends and get something to drink?"

Cassandra the said "yes, me thirsty." So Joey picked her up and sat her on his hip and walked over to the table and introduced his daughter to his friends who were shocked but didn't show it and they all instantly fell in love with her. Greg had opened up the blanket and he asked Cassandra "want to sit over here and rest with grandpa?" Cassandra went over and sat down and pretty soon she was asleep and that gave Joey time to talk to his friends about what's been happening since he left Domino.

They all walked over to another table and sat down and Joey told them about having a fight with his father, leaving Domino and going to America and living with his Aunt Theresa and then he met Michelle and they fell in love, got married then she found out that she was pregnant and gave birth to the most precious bundle of joy and the how she was killed by a drunk driver."

When he was done, Tea put her arm around him and softly said "Joey we're really sorry for your loss but you have that beautiful little girl over there and she loves you with all her heart." Joey thanked Tea and then Duke asked the question that Joey didn't really want to answer "what about Kaiba?"

Yugi was about to tell him to mind his own business, when Joey said "it's alright Yug, I'll tell them. Then Joey went on to tell them about him and Seto wanting to be together and then about the letter and how Seto wanted to be only friends because he was afraid of what people would say if it was discovered that he was really gay and well my dad found the letter and well we had the fight and then I left and went to America."

Everyone had tears in their eyes because their friend had been hurt, and then Yugi said "we can't blame Kaiba for Joey leaving because it wasn't really his fault alone besides it was a long time ago." Joey agreed with Yugi and then they heard "Daddy, where are you?' They all laughed and went back to where Cassandra and Greg were and they enjoyed the day together.
