It was brought to my attention that this story was missing it's last part which I could of swore I had posted.

Oh, well it's here now.

Chapter 9

Mokuba had arranged with the Wheelers for them to pick up Jay from the park just after lunchtime the next day. He had hoped to handover his nephew on his own, sparing his brother anymore heartache of saying goodbye and also avoiding a possible fight breakout between Joey and Kaiba. But his brother had been determined to spend every last minute with the young boy before he had to give him up and so the three of them waited in the park for the Wheelers to appear.

Everything had been sorted to erase every bit of evidence that the custody trial had ever taken place. At first the judge and lawyers involved were reluctant to do anything without further payment from Kaiba, but after being blackmailed with the revealing of the whole trial they soon changed their minds. If the truth had happened to be made public they would have lost their careers and probably put on trial themselves, whilst Kaiba would still have his company and lose nothing from it all.

The chains for the swing creaked as Jay swung backwards and forwards. Occasionally Kaiba would push his son to send him higher in the air. Usually Jay would be laughing hard from each push he received but today just remained silent.

"They're here." Mokuba informed his brother who looked almost terrified at what was about to happen. "It's time to give him back now Seto."

It couldn't be time, not yet, he needed more time to be able to say goodbye to his son as he knew that the Wheelers would never allow him near Jay again after what he had done to them. Kaiba looked across the park to see both Jay's parents and siblings coming towards them. Joey had the baby girl in a baby carrier strapped to his front; no doubt that it had probably been Mai's idea in order to stop her husband from getting into a fight with him for taking their son. Mai held the hand of Jay's younger brother, who carried a teddy bear as he sucked his thumb.

"Mommy! Daddy! Nathan! Aurora!" Jay shouted happily as he hopped down from the swing and raced over to them leaving the two Kaiba brothers behind him.

Kaiba painfully watched as his son sprinted away, not giving him the chance to say farewell yet knowing that that's exactly what he deserved. He saw the happy family gather around, both parents shedding tears of joy as they hugged their son whilst the younger brother smiled and handed over the teddy bear he'd been carrying. "Let's go." He said to Mokuba not wanted to stay a moment longer for fear he may break down the same way as he'd heard Mai and Joey back in the courtroom on the day he'd snatched his son.

"Wait dad!" Jay called, teddy bear in hand, as he ran back over to Kaiba even though it had been against his parent's wishes.

Feeling the hateful glares from the Wheelers, Kaiba stopped, dropped down to embrace Jay who ran straight into his arms and fought back the mixed tears of happiness and sadness that he felt for his son return to him to say goodbye. "I'll miss you." He whispered as he held the boy tightly not wanting to let him go.

"I'll see you again though, won't I?" Jay asked innocently as he pulled back.

Looking up with what could have been mistaken for as pleading eyes; Kaiba continued to receive hateful looks. "Of course." He lied and forced a smile for his son.

Jay frowned as he didn't believe the words that left Kaiba's mouth and held up the teddy bear. "This is mister Tiddles. I've had him since I was born and he always keeps me company when I'm lonely." He pushed the toy forward towards Kaiba. "I want you to have him."

Kaiba looked at the teddy bear which clearly meant so much to his son. "I can't." he said knowing that to take the bear would leave him with nothing but painful memories of Jay.

"You need him more than me." Jay replied sadly as he forced mister Tiddles into Kaiba's hands and hugged him one last time. "Goodbye dad."

As Jay left, Kaiba felt like his heart had been ripped out and shown in front of him. He watched the boy happily return to his family as they all laughed and smiled together before walking away whilst he remained crouched down grasping the bear and failed to keep himself from crying.

"Seto?" Mokuba approached his brother. "You did the right thing." He placed his hand on Kaiba's shoulder and waited for the crying to stop.
