Chapter 15

Four weeks have passed since Atem and Tea were married and they came home from their fabulous, long honeymoon that consisted of sweet mornings, swimming, occasional massages from each other, romantic candle light dinners and passionate, love making nights. Their time together was absolutely beautiful and neither one of them wouldn't trade it for the world. It was now around seven in the morning and the lovely couple were sleeping in their bedroom together peacefully. The bright sunlight from the window shining inside was what made Tea arouse from her sleep. She blinked a couple of times to wake herself up fully and turned behind her to see her loving husband still fast asleep. The sight of him brought a warm smile to her face as she lifted her hand and lightly traced her finger along the side of his cheek. Just staring at him makes her feel so wonderful being next to him and wrapped up in his arms like she was knowing that she was so lucky that she found her true love or to be technical, they found each other one rainy night in a small, quiet cafe. As she was watching Atem sleeping soundly, she suddenly felt a feeling in her stomach and it made her slowly as she could without waking Atem sit up and swing her legs over on the edge of the bed. She clutched her stomach waiting for the feeling to pass, but it just got worse and before she knew it, she was rushing to the bathroom and emptying her stomach. Two minutes passed without her realizing and she stood up from the floor to brush her teeth. Walking out of the room feeling very weak as she held on to the walls to keep her steady, she found herself faced with a worried Atem as was sitting on the edge of the bed watching her coming out. He stood up and pulled her into an embrace rubbing her back in a slow, soothing motion as he led her back over to the bed.

"Are you okay?" he asked as she laid her head on his shoulder.

"I don't know, I just feel so weak all of a sudden. I didn't mean to wake you, I tried to be as quiet as I could." she said tiredly. Atem ran his hand through her hair giving her a sort of comfort.

"That doesn't matter right now, I was already awake and when you were moving, I saw you holding your stomach and knew that something wasn't right. Do you need to go the doctor?" he asked. Tea slowly shook her head no answering his question. Atem, still being worried, placed his hand on her forehead to feel that she was very warm.

"You sure? You have a small fever." he said. Tea lifted her head and nodded.

"I think it's just a little stomach virus or something." Atem kissed her forehead and rubbed her arm up and down.

"Well alright, you just stay in bed today, but if you feel like you're getting worse, then it's straight to the doctor's for you." Tea let out a light laugh and snuggled more closer into his chest. They just held each other being contented with the peaceful silence of their bedroom. Atem looked down at Tea when she had her eyes closed and broke the silence.

"I was suppose to go into the office today, but I'm going to take the day off and take care of you." he said. Tea shook her head to disagree with him while still laying on his chest.

"No you're not, they need you there." she mumbled against him.

"Not as much as you need me." Tea sighed and moved her head up to look at him.

"Listen, I'll be fine. I'm sure whatever I'm going through is probably nothing but a 24 hour bug. I don't want you to be behind in your work just to take care of me, okay?" she said. Atem let out a sigh of his own.

"You're my wife, I'm going to take care of you either way, but I do have some documents at the office that need to be done so I guess I can't hold those off anymore. I just don't want to leave you here alone, what if something serious happens and you need me?" he asked.

"If I start to feel worse, I promise I'll call you to come home." she said. Atem was hesitant with the idea of leaving her alone, but he gave into the thought and leaned down to kiss her. He pulled back and gave her a smile while rubbing the side of her face with his hand.

"Alright, but I still don't want to leave you here alone. I gave Katie the day off today so I'll see if she can come over and keep you company until I get home."

"No, don't do that, she probably has something planned for today already." Atem chuckled and picked up the phone to call Katie while ignoring Tea's demands of not calling her. When the phone started to ring, Tea took it upon herself to try and snatch the phone away from him, but Atem being as fast as he was just laughed and moved out from Tea's reach and kept the phone to his ear.

"Hello?" Katie answered the phone after the third ring.

"Hey Katie it's Atem, I need you to do me a favor for me." he said. Tea was shaking her head and silently telling Atem no. All Atem did was smile at her.

"Sure thing Boss, what's up?"

"Well Tea is over here feeling a little sick and I have to go into the office today to finish up some paperwork. Is there any chance that you can come over and keep her company?" he asked.

"Oh sure thing, Koji just went to work so I'll be over as soon as I drop off Alicia at my mom's."

"Thanks alot Katie, you're a life saver."

"No problem, I'll be there soon." After they said goodbye to each other, Atem hung up the phone and turned back to Tea who just fell back into the pillow and placed her arm over her eyes. Atem chuckled and laid down beside her as she moved her arm to look at him.

"You didn't have to call her, I told you I would be fine." she said quietly. All Atem did was place his hand on the side of her waist and gave her a kiss on her cheek. Pulling back, he gave her his special smile made only just for her.

"I know you said you'll be fine, but I would feel much better if you weren't by yourself today and Katie said that she didn't mind at all." Tea sighed and smiled back at him.

"You're not going to change your mind, are you?"

"Nope, not until you agree with me."

"Well, I guess I'll have to then. It would be nice to have someone to talk to."

"That's my girl, now I have to get ready to head on down to the office, even though I don't want to." he said as he got up from the bed and went into the bathroom to take a shower. After about fifteen minutes, he was dressed and ready to leave. Picking up his briefcase and his car keys, he walked downstairs to the front door with Tea walking behind him. Before he left, he turned to kiss her and pulled away slowly while keeping his arms around her waist.

"I really don't want to go." he said leaning his forehead against hers.

"I don't want you to either."

"Are you sure you don't want me to stay with you?" he asked.

"Are you sure you want to hold off on all your work?" she asked back. Atem laughed and nodded.

"Good point, I better get going then. Take it easy and call me later if you start to feel worse."

"I will, try and have a good day." Atem let out a tired sigh.

"I'll try, I love you." he said.

"I love you too, see you later." They kissed each other again and Atem turned to walk out to the car. Closing the door after waving to him when he drove away, Tea walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. She still felt the nauseous feeling from this morning and held on to her stomach to wait for the feeling to pass by. She eased herself down to lay on the pillow when she felt dizzy. Just when she was about to drift off to sleep, there was a knock on the door and she stood up to answer it. Opening the door, the person revealed to be Katie holding a bag in her hand and greeting her with a smile. Tea smiled back as she open the door wider for Katie to step in. They walked over to the sofa to sit down.

"Hey girlfriend, Atem told me you were feeling under the weather. I brought some of my famous chicken soup to cure any sickness." she said as she pulled out the bowl and lifted it up for Tea to see. The smell of the soup traveled to Tea's nostrils, but instead of smelling the delicious scent, she covered her mouth feeling herself about to regurgitate again and she ran all the way upstairs to the bathroom leaving Katie watching her with wide eyes. She placed the bowl back onto the table and dug through her bag for something else she needed.

"Well, it looks like I'll be needing this now." she said as she took out the object and went upstairs to follow Tea. After knocking on the door and getting a response from Tea, she opened the door and saw Tea kneeling on the floor with her head against the wall and she walked over to sit next to her.

"Still feeling bad?" she asked. Tea slowly nodded her head.

"Yeah, not saying that your food is bad, but I don't think my stomach is going to agree with it."

"I don't think it's the food Tea, but I have a hunch that I think I know what's going on with you. All you have to do is use this." she said as she passed the object over to Tea. She looked down at what Katie was putting in her hand and gave out a small gasp.

In her hand was a pregnancy test.

Tea turned to look at Katie seeing that she was giving her a nod. Turning back to the look at the box, she realized that this would be the reason why she is sick. So turning back to Katie, she gave her a nervous look.

"You think I might be pregnant?" she asked. Katie shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, it is a possibility you might be. You do have the symptoms, morning sickness and turning away from food." she said.

"I don't know Katie, me, being pregnant? I mean Atem and I haven't even discussed about having kids." Katie wrapped an arm around Tea giving her a small hug.

"You'll never know unless you take the test. I'll be standing outside the hall waiting for you." Katie then stood up from the floor and walked outside to give Tea some privacy. Looking down at the box in her hand again, she let out a sigh and opened it to take out the test. After following the directions, she set the timer and had to wait for about twenty minutes to find out the results. She was feeling very fidgety and couldn't sit still for every ticking second that went by. She paced around the bathroom waiting for the answers. Finally after what felt like an eternity, the timer started ringing loudly indicating that the twenty minutes were up. With a shaky sigh, she walked over to the sink and picked up the stick to read it. After knowing exactly what the results were, threw away everything and opened the door to find Katie against the wall. She looked up and was anxious to know what Tea had to say.

"So, what's the news?" she asked. Tea took a deep, deep breath and answered.

"It's official, I'm pregnant." she said. Katie eyes sparkled like millions of diamonds and she squealed loudly in excitement as she ran over and gave Tea a huge hug. She pulled back smiling at her.

"Oh Tea, I'm so happy for you and Atem, congratulations." Tea had a smile also.

"Thanks, but how do you think Atem will react when he hears the news?"

"Are you kidding?! He's going to be so excited. He loves children and when he finds out you're pregnant, he won't be able to keep a smile off his face." Katie said. Tea let out a small giggle just picturing it. She placed a hand on her stomach where her child was held and smiled warmly.

"You're right, he's going to be so happy, but do me a favor, okay? Whatever you do, don't give him any clues on what's going on with me yet. I was thinking of telling him the news on his birthday since it's only a few days away." she said. Katie nodded.

"That's a great idea and don't worry, my lips are sealed. Oh I'm so excited, you're having a baby! You have to let me plan a baby shower for you." Tea laughed at Katie's suggestion.

"Katie, I just found out I'm pregnant, don't you think it's too early to plan a baby shower." she said. Katie placed a finger to her chin thinking about it.

"Yeah, maybe you're right, but nothing is never too early for an expecting mother." Katie and Tea walked downstairs into the living room to talk more about the new baby while spending the day watching movies.

It was seven in the evening with Atem sitting in his office finishing up that last of his paperwork. During that time it was nothing but constant meetings and forms needing his signature. He felt like his hand was about to fall off from so much writing. Finally after hours of working, he was done with everything and he placed the pen down to lean back into his chair and rest his eyes. Letting out a sigh of relief, he spun his chair around to face the window and look out at the view. In about an hour, he'll be leaving to go home to Tea. Speaking of which, he decided to give her a call and see how she was doing, but just as soon as he was about to pick up the phone, his intercom buzzed for him. Sighing in frustration, he pressed the button to talk.

"Yes, what is it?" he asked.

"Sir there's someone here to see you." Atem sighed again and answered back.

"What is it this time?"

"I'm not sure because he won't say, but he says he won't leave until he sees you."

"Fine, send him in." he said. Atem waited for a few minutes for this mystery person to come inside his office. While he did that, he decide to get ready to leave. He heard the door open and looked up to find a man walking inside and coming over to stand in front of is desk. Something about this man was very familiar to Atem, but it wasn't good. He cleared his throat to speak to him.

"Yes, what can I do for you?" he asked. All the man did was stare at him and give out a glare.

"Wow, I'm very surprised that you don't recognize me. I mean it's only been a few months since we met." he said. Atem just stared at him with confusion and tried to figure out when they met before. This man had brown wavy hair with green eyes wearing circular eyeglasses. From the way he looked, Atem guessed that he was in his late thirties. Looking at him more closely, he realized just who he was. This was the same man who tried to swindle his way into being his business partner and sign that contract only to turn around and try to trick him into getting his half of the company if Atem had agreed to sign it. Atem glared at him viciously.

"You, why are you here?" he asked coldly. The man who's name was Minehiko Fumitaka just stood there glaring at him until he decided to speak.

"I wanted to see if I can try and make you reconsider your decision on the offer I made to you before. You don't realize the big opportunity this is if we joined our ideas together and become the most successful company there ever was." All Atem did was just stand up from his seat behind the desk and walk over to get his things to prepare himself for when he was ready to leave.

"You know, I could have sworn I told you the last time you were here that I wasn't going to agree to anything you have to say. You had the audacity to come into my office and make me sign a form that would make me lose all access to my company. Now, you waisted your time coming in here so I suggest you leave before things get serious." he said.

CLICK

Unfortunately, since Atem had his back turned, he didn't see Minehiko taking something out of his coat until he felt something against his head and a clicking sound indicating that it was the sound of a gun. Minehiko, thinking he had the upper hand just smirked and gave out his demands.

"You could have made this more easier where I wouldn't have to use force on you, but you left me no choice. I can easily kill you right now, if you follow my demands. Since you don't want to merge your company with me, I'll just make you give me the money to start the success of mine. I want half a million dollars, cash in my hands right now or you can say goodbye to your life in luxury." he said keeping the gun pointed to Atem's head. There was a minute of silence before Atem slowly turned around to face Minehiko with a dangerous, deadly glare and a cold vicious smirk.

"So, you resort to this, huh? Thought if you show up here with a gun, that I would automatically become desperate and do what you say, right? Well, what if I said that I won't do it, would you still shoot me? Then go right ahead, shoot." he said taunting him. Minehiko's hand was shaking from the look that Atem was giving him until he tried to stop it and push the gun closer to Atem.

"Don't test me, I will do it!" he yelled.

"Then if you're going to shoot, then do it! I want to see just how daring you are!" Atem yelled back.

"I warned you!"

BANG!

Minehiko pulled the trigger and shot the bullet, but because of his nervousness, the shaking of his hand and the way Atem was daring him to shoot, he missed Atem's head by only a half inch making a few strands of his hair fall to the floor and shot the bullet to one of the pictures on the wall. Atem never flinched or moved from his spot when the gun went off and still had his smirk on his face while letting out a cold chuckle.

"You're pathetic, you talk big, but you couldn't even back it up. Now I'll show you just what happens when you decide to mess with me." Atem punched Minehiko in the face which made him drop the gun in the process. Minehiko stumbled back a few steps from the shock, but that didn't stop Atem from giving him a uppercut punch and two punches in his stomach. He wasn't finished with him yet and he gave a helicopter kick until Minehiko fell against the wall letting out a groan. Breathing heavily, Atem just stared at him knocked out on the floor and he turned to his desk when he heard his intercom go off.

"Mr. Mutou sir, is everything alright?!" Atem walked over to press the button and aswered back.

"Yes, everything is fine now, but call security and the police right now. I have someone that needs to be taken away." he said not taking his eyes off of Minehiko. About twenty minutes the authorities showed up and arrested Minehiko, but he struggled for them to let him go and it took about three officers to escort him off the premises. Atem stayed behind to answer questions to the remaining officers that were left behind. It took almost forty five minutes for everything to clear up and he was able to leave, but not without having reporters in his way wanting to know what happened in his office tonight. Struggling through the crowd, Atem made it safely to his car and started up the engine to drive home.

'Man, those reporters sure didn't waste their time from getting the latest scoop. I know Tea's worried that I'm late getting home, I just hope she doesn't know what went down tonight, but knowing those reporters, it won't be long until it's on the news.' Putting those thoughts aside, he continued his long drive home. After thirty minutes of driving, he was finally home and sighed in relief from being away from all the nuisance that happened tonight. Walking up to the door, he opened it and went inside and looked around for Tea. Walking into the living room, he found her sitting on the sofa watching TV. Turning around when she heard footsteps, Tea stood up and went to hug Atem as tightly as she could. Atem took the chance and hugged her back feeling more relieved that he was home with his wife. Pulling back to look at her, he saw tears in her eyes and immediately wiped them away with his thumb. Bringing her over to the sofa, he pulled her done to sit in his lap while running his hand through her hair to calm her down. For the past ten minutes was nothing but silence until Atem decided to speak.

"I guess you heard what happened." he whispered. He felt Tea nodding against his chest and lifted her head to look up at him.

"I was flipping through the channels and stopped when I saw the company on the news. I was so worried that you were hurt, are you alright?" she asked placing her hands on the side of his face. Atem smiled and put his hands on hers pulling her forward to place his lips on hers. Tea's worries seemed to have melted away as she kissed Atem back so passionately. Breaking the kiss slowly when they were running out of air, Atem wrapped his arms around her waist while Tea kept her hands on his chest.

"I'm just fine now that I'm home with you. Let's just forget what happened tonight and concentrate on what's happening right now. How are you feeling? I wanted to call and check on up on you." he said. Tea smiled.

"I'm fine, I still feel a little queasy, but other than that, I'm feeling better." Atem nodded and turned to the food on the table in front of him. Turning back to his wife, he let out a small laugh.

"I see you are feeling better considering there's so much food out." he said. Tea put her hand behind her head and giggled.

"Yeah, see I didn't really eat anything this morning so I ordered some take-out for us. Katie left an hour ago to go pick up Alicia and take her home. She wanted to come back to keep me company until you came, but I told her I was alright." she said.

"Well it's good that you're feeling better, I'm not going into the office tomorrow. I just want to stay in bed with you." he said while burying his face into Tea's neck and let out a blissful sigh.

"I don't mind, I really missed you."

"I missed you too, you were on my mind all day. So what did you order to eat?" Tea giggled and offered him some of the food on the table. While they were eating, Atem popped in a movie for them to watch. Another hour went by with them cuddled up together on the couch watching the rest of the movie. Tea was drawing circles on Atem's chest while he moved his hands up and down her back. She was still getting used to the fact that she was carrying Atem's child inside of her, which made her extremely happy, but she had to see how Atem will react to the idea. While keeping her head on his chest, she broke the silence by asking him the question on her mind.

"Atem?" she called. He looked down at her when she said his name.

"Yeah?" he said.

"How do you feel about having kids?" she asked. Atem was surprised by her question, but he quickly smiled and answered her back.

"Having kids, I would feel very happy, overwhelmed, excited and the list goes on. I would imagine having a son and a daughter with you and daydreaming about all of us in the park on a warm, summer day watching our kids playing while you and me are sitting together against the tree. Every night, we tuck them in bed and watch from the doorway while they sleep peacefully without a care in the world. I can't wait for the day that you tell me you're carrying our child." he said with a far away look on his face. Atem's response just made Tea much more happier than before and snuggled closer to him. Looking back down at her, Atem spoke again.

"Are you okay?" he asked. He felt Tea nodding her head.

"Yeah, I'm fine. In fact, I'm better than okay." she said with a smile and rested her hand on her stomach.

Two days passed and it was now the day of Atem's birthday. He and Tea decided to go out and spend the day together to celebrate, but what he doesn't know was that there was a surprise in store for him at the end of the night. They traveled all over town from the malls to the beach where they planned a special lunch. Before they knew it, the sky was beginning to get darker and they wound up at the lake where Atem proposed to Tea. Since they were married, they made the lake theirs and theirs alone with no one else knowing about it. Sitting against the tree, Atem had Tea between his legs with her resting her head on his chest while he had his arms wrapped around her looking out at the sparkling lake as the sun was going down. Breathing in the evening air, Atem sighed peacefully.

"This has to be the best birthday ever since I'm spending it with you." Tea lifted her head and kissed his lips. Pulling back, she smiled at him.

"Well, there's still more to come, but first I want to give you your present." she said as she opened her bag to pull out his gift. Placing it in Atem's hand, he looked at it in curiosity to what it might be. The gift was rectangular shaped covered in gold wrapping paper with a silver bow on top of it. Opening up the present, he found a oval-shaped silver locket inside with a crescent moon carved on the front. Pulling it out, Atem was amazed by the way it shined and looked down to Tea who was waiting for his reaction.

"Do you like it?" she asked. Atem answered her question by kissing her with so much passion in the world. After two minutes of lip-locking, he pulled back and smirked at Tea's dazed look.

"I love it, thank-you my love." he whispered back.

"Open it, there's a picture inside." Atem clicked open the locket and smiled at what he saw inside. The picture was of him and Tea on their first date with an inscription on the other side.

Our Two Hearts

Will Always Be Together As One Forever

I Love You

Reading that small note just made Atem's heart burst with so much love for Tea and he would always cherish the precious little trinket for as long as he lives. Closing up the locket he placed it around his neck showing Tea how it looked on him and he gave Tea another long kiss that would leave her breathless. They sat together for a little while longer until the sun disappeared and the stars came out in the sky. Tea looked down at her watch to see what time it was and kissed along Atem's jawline making him moan in pleasure.

"It's getting late, we should go on home." she said. Atem nodded and stood up bringing her up with him. Getting inside the car, Atem started up the car and made their way on home. Coming into the driveway, they got out and walked up to the door. It was dark when they walked inside and as soon as Atem flipped the light switch, he was brought to a surprise at what he saw.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" Inside the living room was Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Katie, Koji and little Alicia giving him a party. Atem laughed at the unexpected surprise and walked over to greet all of them with Tea behind him.

"What is all this?" he asked.

"It's you party, happy birthday bro." said Yugi.

"Thanks, when did you guys plan this?"

"Planned it while you were out with Tea today, it was her idea actually." said Katie. Atem turned to Tea beside him and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"You're just full of surprises tonight, aren't you?" he said smiling at her. Tea laughed and kissed him.

"I guess you can say that." she said.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's party!" said Joey. Everyone sat down and partied. The whole evening was spent with laughs, funny stories and the fun times that happened in the past few months. It was around eight in the evening and everyone gathered around Atem as he blew out the candles on the candles on the cake. Once everyone finished a slice of cake, well, Joey and Tristan ate two slices a piece, it was time for Atem open the gifts that were brought by everyone. Yugi gave him a head-set for his cell phone, Katie and Koji gave him a gold wrist watch, Joey gave him CDs of his favorite band, Tristan gave him a new briefcase and Alicia drew him a pretty little birthday card for him. Atem was deeply touched by all the gifts he received from his friends. Another hour went by and it was time for everyone to get ready to leave. They all said goodnight to Atem and Tea while leaving to go home. Closing the door, Atem turned to Tea and wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked upstairs to their bedroom. After they showered and changed into their nightwear, Atem was about to get in bed when he was stopped by Tea gently grabbing his wrist and pulling him to sit on the edge of the bed.

"I wanted to give your other gift." she said. Atem smiled and shook his head.

"Honey, you already gave me a great gift, there's nothing else I need." he said.

"Well that was part one of you present, this is part two." she said as she pulled out another gift for him to open. Atem opened it and inside the box was a picture album. Taking it out, he opened it to see pictures of him, Tea and the others at the ranch, the wedding and others of them just hanging out together. Laughing at some of them as he was flipping through the pages brought back memories of everything they went through together. Halfway into the album, Atem noticed that the rest of the pages were blank and turned to Tea wondering why. Putting her hand on his, she looked up at him with a smile.

"I only put in certain pictures into the album that I thought were more special and I left the rest of them blank for the new member coming into our lives." she said. Atem gave her a confused look wondering who she was talking about until he realized just what she meant, but wanted to be exactly sure that he was right.

"What are you saying?" he asked very slowly. Tea giggled at his look and took his hand to place it on her stomach.

"Atem, I'm pregnant." she whispered to him. Atem eyes widened as he let the information process into his head and when it did, a smile slowly came to his face until he picked Tea from off the bed and spun her around in happily. Tea laughed along with him and Atem placed her back down to kiss her passionately. Pulling back, he kept his forehead against hers still smiling from the news.

"H-how, well I mean I know how, but when did you find out?" he asked.

"Well, I found out when I was sick a few days ago. Katie brought over a pregnancy test and I thought she was crazy at first, but when I took the test and it came out positive I didn't know what to think at first, but the thought of carrying your child inside me, I couldn't help but feel so happy. I decided to wait and tell you as a surprise for your birthday." she said with tears in her eyes. Atem gently wiped them away and kissed her again.

"This really is the best birthday ever, we're having a baby. I'm going to be a father, that's one of the best gifts in the world. I love you so much."

"I love you too." Climbing in bed, Atem and Tea cuddled closer to each other. Giving one last kiss, they closed their eyes drifting to sleep with Atem wrapping his arm around Tea to bring her and his unborn child closer to him.
