DISCLAIMER!
I OWN NOTHING! I only own the OC'S in the story.

It was a golden morning in Domino City and a young twenty-one year old man was just waking up at 8:00 a.m. That man's name is Atem Muto, who lived by himself in a small one bedroom house. He came from a wealthy family, but he prefers to live in a place that's good for him. He graduated from high school and made good friends, but the one person that made his life complete was his fiancé, Téa Gardner. Atem purposed to her not too long ago and he marked the date that the engaged couple would have the wedding on Christmas Day. They are only several months away from their big day. Which gave them enough time to prepare.

Atem got up from his bed and stretched out his limbs to prepare for the wedding he will remember. He walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower. He started washing his body as he was drifting into his thoughts.

'I still can't believe that I am gonna be a married man soon. With everything being done by Christmas, I just want to spend this summer with just my loving bride to be. I just hope Téa feels the same. At least when I saw her face from last night.'

FLASHBACK

It was the first day of spring at night and Atem wanted to make the night perfect for her and Atem. He planned on having a candlelit dinner in a fancy restaurant. He reserved a table at the center of the restaurant. It was 7:00 p.m. and Atem left the shower with a towel as he was wiping his face off with a towel. As he dried off, he put on a pair of clean boxers and started to call his girlfriend, Téa Gardner. He dials her number and waits on her to answer.

"Hello"

"Hey Téa. I hope you are ready for our date tonight. I made it special for the both of us."

"Atem, you always want to make things special for me."

"That's because I have a special girl by my side."

"Oh... you are too good to me. Too good, are you up to something?" Atem chuckled a bit from that remark.

"Just wait until later and you will see what I have in store for you. I'll be there in a half hour to pick you up."

"Hahaha... okay. I'll see you then."

"See you soon, my love."

They hung up as both of them were finishing getting ready for their big night. About a half hour passed and Atem had put on a white button down shirt with a blue tie and a black jacket and dress pants. He tied up his laces in his shoes and went into the kitchen to grab his keys. Atem got to his car and drove off to go pick up his girlfriend.

As Téa was getting ready, she wore a red dress with the skirt reaching toward her lower thighs. She grabbed her matching red heels and coat as she waited for her boyfriend to show up. As she finished putting on her heels, Atem rolled up in his Black Toyota Corolla and beeped his horn to let her know he's here. She grabbed her purse and walked outside to Atem's car before locking her front door. She entered the vehicle and kissed her boyfriend.

"Hello to you too." Atem said to her.

"So, where are we going?" asked Téa.

"We are going to have dinner at the best restaurant in town. Dominance!" What Atem knew about it was that Dominance was a hard to book place to get a reservation and the restaurant had the best entertainment.

When they got to the restaurant and went inside, the couple had seen many people waiting in line for a table to be opened up. Atem walked up to the man minding the line and told him his reserved spot.

"Excuse me sir, can I help you?" He said.

"I have a reserved table for two, name is Muto." The man checked the list and saw that he reserved a table for tonight.

"Ah yes, we have a table for you, right this way." Atem and Téa followed the man as a fat man was complaining about the service.

"OH, what the fuck?!"

"Shhh... that's Criss Angel."

As they were at their table, they ordered what they wanted and talked a bit before their orders have arrived.

"You really put a lot of effort into this, haven't you?"

"Yes, I did. Only to see your smiling face glow."

As they were talking, their food and drinks arrived. The waiter placed their food on the table and was given a complimentary non-alcoholic champagne bottle. Atem opened up the bottle and poured it into Téa's glass. As they finished eating their food, Atem stood up and walked beside her.

"Téa, there is something that I want to tell you?"

"Atem, what is this?"

"I want to let you know that I love you and I always will." Téa blushed at what he said.

"I love you too. And I want you to know that I'll be with you through thick and thin."

"You took the words right out of my mouth." Atem leaned over to her and it wasn't for a kiss, he whispered in her ear and said "Will you marry me?"

Téa gasped at what he said as Atem pulled out an engagement ring from his coat pocket. Atem backed away from Téa and she was about to scream until she pushed him to the ground and slammed a kiss on him. Atem returned the kiss as the tables around them saw and they were applauding and hollering out to them. Atem and Téa felt like there was a fire inside of them and it wouldn't go out. They felt so much passion in their kiss. They got up from the floor as Téa whispered to him the words he wanted to hear.

"Yes, Atem. I will marry you..."

He slid the ring in her finger as the restaurant was applauding to their "entertainment" that just aspired. Atem paid the bill to their food as they left the restaurant. But little did they know that someone was watching from the far end of the restaurant.

END FLASHBACK

Atem was out of the shower, dried off, and put on a black striped suit. He walked out of his house and started driving all the way to his job at Kaiba Corp. as Atem was working as one of Kaiba's local promoters and was also an occasional duelist. About a couple of minutes passed and Atem was at Kaiba Corp. He walked in and started to receive a phone call from his cell phone. It was Seto Kaiba himself.

"Yes sir?"

"I need you to come I to my office STAT. It's important that you do."

I'll be right up." Atem hung up and immediately headed for the elevator towards the top floor, Kaiba's office.

As he headed for the top floor, another employee enters the elevator and it was Tristan Taylor.

Oh, hey Atem. I barely see you around now. Are you hanging with other friends?"

Atem laughed at his words and replied "No, you know that we have been friends for a long time. I was just called Iin to Kaiba's office for something urgent."

"Oh, I was wondering. Anyways, you told me last week you were about to purpose to your girlfriend last night. How did that go?"

"She said yes, and we decided after our night, we will have the wedding on Christmas Day."

"Awesome!"

"What about you and your wife, Serenity?"

"Well, yesterday she was sent home because she was sick. So, she's home today and I am just gonna try to help her get better. As soon as I get out of work, it's pay day."

"Exactly, and who knows, maybe you two may have kids someday." Atem jinxed it and Tristan was a little nervous about having children yet.

"Yeah, maybe but when that day comes, I will be the proudest man alive."

Tristan saw his stop and left the elevator. "I guess we can talk after work, okay?"

"Sure Tristan, later." The elevator kept going until it hit the top floor, Kaiba's main office. He walked up to the reception desk and the receptionist pushed a button on the speaker.

"Mr. Kaiba, the man you requested to see is here."

"Good, send him in." Kaiba said to her and Atem opened the door and walked into his office.

MEANWHILE

Téa worked at a small Starbucks café as she was serving coffee to her customers this morning. As she was getting back to her register, she saw a familiar customer coming in.

"Hello, what would you like?" The familiar customer was actually her regular customer, Kyrah. She had a purple coat and red hat that buns up her hair.

"Yes, I would like to have a large coffee with crème and sugar please."

Téa heard what Kyrah wanted for her coffee and finished making her coffee in two minutes flat. Kyrah paid for her coffee and as she was about to leave, she saw an engagement ring on her finger.

"Ooh, girl I love that ring."

"Thank you, my new fiancée purposed to me last night and made my night magical."

"He knows how to treat you."

"We're getting married in December, I know it's in nine months, but it gives us time to prepare."

"That's nice. Well, thanks for the coffee." Téa bowed to her and said "Come again" to her and waved goodbye to her regular customer.

About a couple of hours later, her shift ended and headed home. As she was about to head on home, she gets a call coming from her phone. It was Serenity on the other line.

"Hello?"

"Téa, it's Serenity. I need you to come with me somewhere real fast."

"Sure, just tell me what the problem is."

"I think... I think I might be pregnant." Téa was shocked from what she heard and replied

"I'm on my way." She hung up and grabbed the nearest taxi. Téa told the cab driver where she needed to go and the driver took her to Serenity's house. Téa arrived there as it only took her ten minutes. She paid the driver and ran up to the door and knocked. And in an instant, Serenity answers the door and pulled her inside.

"Serenity, slow down. Are you sure that you might be pregnant?" Téa asked, but she was having a breakdown as she had boxes of pregnancy tests lying on the floor. All of which that are different brands.

"I have tried all of them and drank a lot of this damn water! I saw them all and they all came out positive. How do I tell Tristan about this?" Serenity dropped on the couch as she wept from all of this. Téa picked her up and tried to come up with an idea.

"Don't you have any anniversary or birthday coming up?" Serenity stopped crying and actually thought of something.

"Yes, I do have a wedding anniversary next week. But, I don't know what to get him."

"Just tell him you are having a baby and tell him that's his gift."

"Sure, but I have to find something that might give him a clue." Serenity tried thinking and as she thought, Téa could try and help her.

"Serenity, you just leave it to me. I know a gift you can give him. Just give me until the day before your anniversary and you will have a gift that will make him go nuts about."

As she said that, Serenity stood up and hugged her friend. "Thank you Téa, our anniversary is in six days and I just want to tell him as steady as possible." Téa returned the hug and released it.

"I better get going. I have to do some things at home."

"Okay, bye Téa and thank you for your help." They waved goodbye to each other as Téa received an incoming call on her phone and it was Atem.

"Hey Atem."

"Hey honey, I need you to come to my place for a minute. I think it's something you should hear."

"Oh no, is something wrong?"

"No, I want you to come over and meet someone I know."

"Okay, I'll see you then."

"I love you, Téa."

"I love you too, bye."

Oh man, something I think might be going on now. Now that everyone has met everyone and Serenity is now pregnant, how is she going to tell Tristan and why does Atem need Téa to come by her house? So many questions to be answered, but I will keep you guys in suspense for next chapter. So, leave your reviews and I will be back for the next one. See You Next Time!
