This chapter was a little longer. There's a lot that I wanted to put in, but I also wanted this to be the last chapter, so it's a little longer.
Anyway, hope you like the last chapter!
Chapter 35- A Bright Future
Yuugi sat on her and Yami's bed reading one night. She was now five months pregnant and Isis had ordered to take start taking it easy.
Since Yami and everyone else knew that Isis had ordered this, Yuugi didn't stand a chance of getting away with doing anything, so she decided that she would just do what Isis had asked her to do and avoid any lectures that she would end up getting, especially from Yami.
Yuugi was reading a book while she waited for Yami to return to their room.
There was a sharp kick to her side, which had her grimacing in pain. Yuugi rubbed her stomach, sighing. "This baby is very active, just like their father." Yuugi murmured, smiling as knew that Yami was tired of not being able to have sex.
The door opened and closed, and a very tired Yami walked into the room.
"Hard day, Yami?" Yuugi asked.
"Yes. I think I understand why Father could stand being in with the council for very long. Listening to them bicker and fuss about how problems should be handled gets rater annoying." Yami said as he started to undress.
"Well, if you would let me out of this room, then I could help out." Yuugi said.
"Not on your life. Isis said that you needed to start taking it easy." Yami said.
"Taking it easy and total isolation are two very different things, Yami. You hardly let me out of this room now, and it is about to drive me nuts." Yuugi said
"What are you talking about?" Yami asked.
Yuugi rolled her eyes. "Yami, since Isis said that two weeks ago, you have hardly let me leave this room, and quite frankly, as much as I like our room, I need fresh air and something to do every once in a while." Yuugi said.
Yami's face turned slightly red as he realized that Yuugi was right that he pretty much had kept her locked on the room. Yami sat on the bed beside Yuugi and said, "Sorry, Yuugi. I guess I did go a little overboard." "A little?" Yuugi asked.
"Okay. I went complete over the top, and I'm sorry. I guess I'm just worried about you and the baby." Yami said.
"Yami, I'm not going to do anything that's going to endanger my health, or the baby's health. If I feel that I'm getting a little too stressed or that I'm getting a little too tired, then you know that I would go and rest. I'm not stubborn enough to try and go on doing something when I'm tired." Yuugi said.
"Okay, Yuugi. I guess that I do need to back off a little bit. I'm sorry." Yami said as he kissed Yuugi on the cheek.
"It's okay. Just let me out of here, will you?" Yuugi asked.
Yami laughed. "Okay. I think that I can do that." Yami said.
"Good." Yuugi said. She looked over at him and had a sly smile on her face that Yami did not see. "How tired are you?" Yuugi asked.
"Very. Today was one of the worst days." Yami answered.
"That's too bad." Yuugi said.
"Why's that?" Yami asked, turning to look at his wife.
Yuugi smiled innocently at him. "Well, I thought that if you wanted to, we could stay up a little later and do something that I know you've wanted to do for quite some time." Yuugi said, her innocent smile turning seductive.
Yami was surprised. Since Yuugi had gotten pregnant, she hadn't been much for sex. But he certainly wasn't going to pass up the chance for it. He leaned forward and kissed Yuugi. He pulled away and said, "What brought this on all of a sudden?" Yami asked.
"I don't know, but do you really care?" Yuugi asked.
"Not really." Yami replied before he leaned forward and captured Yuugi's lips in another kiss before thought was forgotten for the night.
Yuugi was walking down the hall of the palace. She was glad that Yami had finally let up and was letting her do a little more although he still didn't want her to deal with the council.
"Hey, Yuugi!" a voice called.
Yuugi turned and saw Heba coming up to her. "What is it, Heba?" Yuugi asked.
"What are you doing out of your room? Yami'll get upset when he finds out." Heba said.
"Calm down, Heba. Yami and I talked, and he's letting up a little as long as I don't overdo it." Yuugi said.
"I guess that you're glad of that. I know that you hate being cooped up all of the time." Heba stated.
"You have no idea how much I hate it. I was about to go completely insane having to stay in that room all the time." Yuugi said.
"How did you convince Yami of that?" Heba asked.
"Simple. I just told him that I didn't have to be totally isolated to take it easy. He knows that I wouldn't do anything that would endanger me or the baby." Yuugi said.
"Of course, he'll either be checking on you himself or having someone else do it for him." Heba stated.
"I know that all too well, and I had to promise that I would eat lunch with him." Yuugi said.
"He's just worried, Yuugi. I mean, you are his wife, and this is his child that we're talking about." Heba said.
Yuugi glared at her brother. "I believe that I did have something to do with this child's creation." Yuugi told him.
Heba grinned. "I know. I'm just saying that that's why he's being a little protective." Heba said.
"Overprotective is more like it." Yuugi said.
"Well, he means well, and he's just being worried." Heba said.
"Believe me. I know what he's being." Yuugi replied.
"Where are you heading anyway?" Heba asked.
"I have to see Isis so that she can check me out. It's just the usual thing." Yuugi answered.
"In that case, I'll see you later." Heba said before walking off.
Yuugi smiled. "He never did like having to be looked at by healers." Yuugi said before she continued on her way to the healing chambers. Once there, Yuugi opened the door and said, "Isis, are you here?"
"Come in, Yuugi." Isis said.
Yuugi walked on into the room and found Isis. "I know that I'm a little early, Isis." Yuugi said.
"Think nothing of it, Yuugi. I haven't had anyone come in all day, so I've been rather bored." Isis said.
Yuugi nodded. "I came on because I knew that Yami would probably come by at some point." Yuugi said.
"Oh, yes. He wouldn't have taken it very well if you were late to see me." Isis agreed.
Yuugi smiled as she sat down on the bed. "He's being a little overprotective at the moment." Yuugi said.
"Most men who are becoming fathers for the first time are like that. Don't worry. It'll pass. The attention will shift from you to the baby." Isis said.
Yuugi nodded and lay down so that Isis could check on her.
When Isis was done, she motioned for Yuugi to sit up.
Yuugi did so. "Well?" Yuugi asked.
"You're doing just fine, Yuugi." Isis said.
"That's good. Yami will be glad to hear that." Yuugi said.
Isis smiled. "I still want you to take it easy." Isis said.
"As long as total isolation doesn't come in, I'll take it easy." Yuugi said.
Isis chuckled. "No, you don't have to be completely isolated from everyone. I just don't want you to overdo it, so if you feel tired or anything like that, then I would like for you to rest, and avoid as much stress as possible." Isis said.
"I will. Thank you, Isis." Yuugi said.
"Any time, Yuugi." Isis replied.
Yuugi got up and left the healing chambers.
On her way out, Yuugi ran into Yami.
"Yuugi, did you see Isis?" Yami asked.
"Yes, Yami. I did. Isis said that everything is fine, and I just don't need to overdo it." Yuugi explained.
"And you're not going to." Yami said.
Yuugi rolled her eyes. "Yami, we have already established the fact that I have no intention of overdoing it or endangering my health or the baby's health. I'm not going to do anything that I'm not supposed to. Not to mention the fact that none of my duties actually call for any type of hard work or anything." Yuugi said.
"No. I suppose not. Anyway, I had lunch taken to our chambers. That's where we're going to eat." Yami said.
"I thought that we were going to eat lunch with the council." Yuugi said.
"After the morning I have had, I would rather eat lunch alone with you." Yami replied.
"Bad morning?" Yuugi asked.
Yami nodded.
"Okay. Let's go to out chambers then." Yuugi agreed.
The two walked down the hall and went into their chambers to eat.
"What all happened this morning?" Yuugi asked.
"Mostly, the council was bickering about how we can deal with this drought that we're in." Yami replied.
"There is grain stored away for such an emergency, right?" Yuugi asked.
"Yes. Why?" Yami asked.
"Well, you could put one of the priests in charge of it and have it given to the people that really need it. I know that you would be limited to what you could give them, but at least you can give them some to help out until the end of this drought. Not to mention the fact that the people can use underground water supplies to water their crops." Yuugi said.
Yami blinked and looked at his wife. "Yuugi, that is an excellent idea. I had never thought about that, but you're right. That would work out just perfectly." Yami said.
Yuugi shook her head. "Yami, you just have to think logically about this. What were you all doing this morning?" Yuugi asked.
Yami smiled sheepishly. "Honestly, we were arguing about the problem instead of trying to find a solution, but I think that this will be satisfactory to everyone. After all, the problem would be solved, and the people would be happy." Yami said.
"Yami, I think that you all need to learn to stop discussing the problem and think of a solution." Yuugi said.
"Yeah. I got it." Yami said as they started to eat.
"Did anything else happen during the meeting?" Yuugi asked.
Yami gulped. He knew that Yuugi wasn't going to like what he was about to tell her. "Well, um, there was one other thing that we discussed." Yami said.
"What was that?" Yuugi asked.
"Well, you see, we have to have a banquet next week for visiting delegates and there's going to be a ball, too, and you kind of have to be there." Yami said.
Yuugi nearly choked on her food.
"Yuugi, are you all right?!" Yami asked, worried.
Yuugi took her glass of juice and drank it quickly. She put it down and said, "What do you mean a banquet and a ball?"
"Well, it's the delegates from Reinstone. You know that when those delegates come, we always have a banquet and a ball on their first night here because of how closely are kingdoms work together." Yami said.
"Yami, by the time that ball comes, I will be six months pregnant. I'm not going to feel like having all those people tell me how happy they are for us or have to undergo all of that tomfoolery that comes along with it. You know that I've been a little more self-conscious since I got pregnant." Yuugi said.
"I know that, Yuugi, and if there was a way to avoid it, I would gladly do that, but my hands are tied. You don't have to stay there the whole time, but you do need to be there at least through the banquet and part of the ball." Yami said.
Yuugi groaned. "Great. This is not helping my day." Yuugi said.
"Yuugi, if you were closer to when you would have the baby, then I could stop this, but I'm afraid that I can't." Yami said.
Yuugi sighed. "I know, Yami. Normally, I wouldn't mind the ball, but you know how people like to feel pregnant women's stomachs." Yuugi said.
Yami smiled. "That would be one of the perks of being Queen, Yuugi. You can pretty much be assured that no one would do that without permission, and if they do, you can always have them dealt with. Besides, the Reinstone delegates won't chance doing anything that might endanger their relationship with us." Yami said.
"All right. I may no like it, but you know that I'll be there." Yuugi said.
"I know, Yuugi." Yami replied.
Yuugi was getting ready for the ball. She put her crown on to complete her outfit. 'Yami is dead for this.' Yuugi thought.
She wore a blue dress that reached her feet. It was a plain dress. She wore the medallion with Ra engraved on it. She also wore the earrings and bracelets.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Yuugi called.
Heba walked in and said, "Yuugi, are you ready?"
"Not really." Yuugi replied.
Seeing that his sister was dressed, Heba knew that she meant that she didn't want to go period. "It'll be over before you know it." Heba said.
"I hope so. I really hate the thought of being around all these people when I feel like this." Yuugi said.
"I take it that Yami's going to get it later." Heba said.
"You have no idea." Yuugi replied.
The two left the room. They soon met up with Yami, Atemu, Aknankanon, and Amara.
Yami knew all too well that his wife wasn't very happy about having to go to this, but he was glad that she was able to hide her displeasure. He wouldn't have known that Yuugi didn't want to be there if he didn't already know that fact.
Everyone sat around the banquet table.
Yuugi listened just enough to know what was going on if she was asked a question although she hardly listened to anything, but she acted like she was being attentive the entire time.
Yami glanced over at his wife every so often and knew that she was not happy.
It wasn't long before everyone went to the ballroom for the ball.
Yuugi was standing off to the side with Heba, Jou, Ryou, and Malik.
"Yuug, why do you seem so angry?" Jou asked.
"If one more person asks if they can feel my stomach, I'm going to snap." Yuugi said.
"Well, can you go on and leave?" Malik asked.
"The ball had barely gotten started, so no." Yuugi answered. She watched as Yami talked to several of the delegates from Reinstone.
"I take it that you're making a break for it the moment you get the chance." Ryou said.
"Without a doubt." Yuugi answered.
"Are you sure that Yami won't be upset about you leaving early?" Heba asked.
"Oh, he won't. Not if he knows what's good for him." Yuugi answered.
It wasn't long before Bakura and Marik came to drag Malik and Ryou out onto the dance floor to dance.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you all day." a female voice said.
Yuugi turned and instantly regretted doing so. "Hello, Lady Drake." Yuugi said.
Lady Drake was the wife of Lord Drake, the man that had tried to accost Yuugi when she first met Yami and the others.
"Why have you not been out on the dance floor?" Lady Drake asked.
"I would prefer not to dance at the moment." Yuugi answered as politely as she could.
"You don't need to be ashamed of being pregnant." Lady Drake said.
Yuugi was starting to angry.
"Lady Drake, my sister is in no way ashamed of being pregnant. She just does not feel like dancing at the moment. She may dance with her husband later." Heba said, hoping to avoid a scene.
"If I were married to someone like the Pharaoh, I wouldn't want to leave him alone." Lady Drake said.
"Well, you are not married to the Pharaoh, Lady Drake. I am. Now, it you will excuse me, I believe that I should go and see my husband." Yuugi said before walking toward where Yami was. 'That woman is so damn irritating.' Yuugi thought.
"Yuugi, there you are. You remember Lord Pharamot." Yami said.
This was one delegate that Yuugi actually enjoyed having company with. "Of course. It is good to see you again, Lord Pharamot." Yuugi said.
"The same to you, Your Majesty. I must say that you all know how to throw fine parties. I look forward to our negotiations, though." Lord Pharamot said.
"Of, course. We will be doing that first thing in the morning." Yami said.
Lord Pharamot smiled. "Good. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow." Lord Pharamot said before he walked off.
"What did Lady Drake want? I saw you talking to her." Yami said.
"It's more like she was talking to me. Just wanting to irritate me as always." Yuugi said.
Yami walked off to the side with her and said, "How?"
"See said that I was ashamed of being pregnant since I did not dance, and she also said that if she were married to you, she wouldn't leave you alone." Yuugi explained.
"Ignore her, Yuugi. You know that she's one of the ones that wanted to marry me. She's just trying to annoy you to get back at you." Yami said.
"I didn't let her know that I was irritated. I merely stated that I was the one married to you and then I said I was coming to see you." Yuugi said.
"She'll hate that." Yami said.
Yuugi smirked. "That's what I counted on." Yuugi said.
Yami took Yuugi by the hand and said, "Come with me, Yuugi. I think that we should dance."
Yuugi nodded and let herself be lead out onto the dance floor where she started to dance with her husband.
Heba watched as his sister danced with her husband and smiled.
"What's gotten you so happy?" Atemu asked as he came up to Heba and wrapped an arm around him.
"Oh, nothing. Just thinking of how good Yuugi and Yami look together." Heba replied.
"Well, we knew that they would be together. Especially since how they felt about each other was apparent to everyone except them when we were leaving when we first met your sister." Atemu said to him.
Heba nodded. "I guess I shouldn't be that surprised." Heba agreed.
"Come on. I want to dance with you while I've got the chance." Atemu nodded and allowed himself to be lead out onto the dance floor.
Once the ball was over, Yuugi and Yami went back to their room.
"Yami, I swear that if you ever have another ball while I'm pregnant, you are a dead man." Yuugi said.
Yami grinned. "I know, Yuugi, and there's no balls that I know of that we will have to have between now and when you have the baby." Yami said.
"Good. I don't think that I could handle another ball at the moment. I am way too fat to handle something like that." Yuugi said.
Yami walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her so that his hands rested on her stomach. "Yuugi, I don't look at it as you being fat. After all, you are carrying a child." Yami said.
"Doesn't change the fact that I am a lot bigger than I used to be." Yuugi muttered.
Yami leaned down and placed butterfly kisses on Yuugi's neck.
Yuugi closed her eyes and leaned into the kisses.
Yami raised his lips to her ear and said, "Yuugi, I think that you look just fine to me. In fact, I find you absolutely stunning."
"Why? I mean, I'm not exactly small now." Yuugi said.
"Well, I think about the fact that you are carrying my child, and I just think that it's a miraculous thing. Besides, I would find you stunning if you were stark naked." Yami said.
Yuugi rolled her eyes. "You see me like that most of the time we're alone in this room anyway." Yuugi said.
Yami smirked. "Yes, I do." Yami said as he pushed Yuugi's dress off of her shoulders.
Yuugi turned around to face Yami and kissed him deeply, leading to a night of passion.
"I swear that Yuugi is going to kill Yami if has another ball while she's pregnant." Heba said.
"I wouldn't worry about that. I don't think Yami plans on having another one unless he is forced into it." Atemu said.
"I know. I think that Yami's hatred of balls goes beyond Seth's." Heba said.
Atemu chuckled. "I agree." Atemu said. He walked up behind Heba and wrapped his arms around him. "You know, we are alone and going to be undisturbed for the night." Atemu whispered in a seductive voice. He then lowered his head and started to kiss Heba on his neck.
Heba closed his eyes and moaned as Atemu started to suck on his neck. "I take it that you don't plan on us doing much sleeping tonight." Heba said.
"Of course not." Atemu whispered before he picked Heba up into his arms.
"Atemu!" Heba exclaimed, startled.
Atemu smirked. "What? I just thought that we might be more comfortable on the bed." Atemu said, throwing Heba onto the bed.
"Atemu, will you stop scaring the daylights out of me?" Heba asked.
"It's so much fun to do, though." Atemu replied as he climbed onto the bed as well.
Heba glared. "You're very close to having nothing tonight." Heba said.
Atemu just smirked at the empty threat before he pounced on Heba.
"Atemu!"
"So, what did you think of the ball?" Ryou asked.
"Boring as always." Bakura muttered.
Ryou smiled. He knew that Bakura loved them because Bakura loved to dance with Ryou although Bakura would never admit that. "Anyway, it's late so we should probably go to bed." Ryou said.
Bakura smirked. "I'm not real tired, Ryou." Bakura said.
"Bakura, how can you-" Ryou cut off when he saw the seductive look on Bakura's face. "Um, Bakura?" Ryou said.
Bakura didn't answer. Instead, he pounced on Ryou.
"Bakura!"
Malik walked into his room abs flopped down onto the bed.
"Something wrong, Malik?" Marik asked.
"Yeah. I'm tired. You like dancing a little too much." Malik replied.
"Well, it is fun." Marik said.
"Only because you get to be close to me. Otherwise, you wouldn't want to dance period." Malik muttered into the pillow.
Marik smirked. "Yes, but there's something that I like to do even more than that." Marik said.
Malik turned just as Marik pounced on him.
"Marik!"
Seth and Jou walked into their room.
"Well, there's another wasted evening of my life." Seth said.
"Come on, Seth. The balls are not that bad, and you know that Yami doesn't hold them very often. In fact, he only has them when he has no choice but to." Jou said.
"I know, but as far as I am concerned, these balls are just a waste of my time." Seth said.
Jou smirked. "Then let's do something that we both enjoy." Jou said.
Seth took one look at Jou before he pounced.
"Seth!"
Several months had passed by, and Yuugi could have the baby at any time.
Yami woke up in the middle of the night one night only to find that his wife wasn't in bed. Yami got up and looked out on the balcony to see that Yuugi was standing out there. He walked out on the balcony and wrapped his arms around Yuugi. "What are you doing out here?" Yami asked.
"Ask your child." Yuugi muttered.
"What?" Yami asked, confused, before he felt the baby kick rather harshly.
Yuugi grimaced at it.
"Oh. Active?" Yami asked.
"Like you wouldn't believe." Yuugi answered.
"Why don't you come back to bed and lay down?" Yami asked.
"It's worse when I lay down." Yuugi answered.
Yami frowned. "Isis told you that you should stay off your feet." Yami said.
"I know." Yuugi answered.
Yami wasn't taking that answer. He picked Yuugi up into his arms.
"Yami, what are you doing?" Yuugi asked, shocked.
"Making you get off your feet. You don't need to do that." Yami said.
"Your being a pain, you know that." Yuugi said.
"So are you." Yami retorted as he put Yuugi down on the bed.
Yuugi glared at him.
"That glare doesn't work on me, Yuugi." Yami said.
"I think that I would kill you right now if I could move fast enough." Yuugi said.
"Well, you can't. Try to go back to sleep." Yami said.
"Fine." Yuugi said.
Yuugi was rather bored, and she would have left the room had Yami not had Heba, Jou, Ryou, and Malik stay in her room with her to make sure that she didn't go anywhere.
"Yuugi, I know that you hate being in here all day, but could you lighten up?" Heba asked.
"Heba, I am close to having a baby, and my husband has pretty much locked me in this room. What is there to lighten up about?" Yuugi asked.
"You could always help me and Jou come up with ways to annoy Yami." Malik said.
"Tempting, but it's not going to help me out one bit." Yuugi said.
"Yuugi, you know that Yami's right. It would be bad if you were wandering the halls when you went into labor. You might not have anyone to help you." Ryou said.
Yuugi sighed. "I know, Ryou. I just hate feeling like a prisoner in my own room. Also, I wish that I could have this baby already. I have had so many restless nights it's not funny." Yuugi said.
"All the more reason for you to be with one of us. That way, we can get you to Isis should you go into labor." Heba said.
Yuugi groaned. "None of you are letting me out of this, are you?" Yuugi asked.
"Nope." all four said.
"Well, I suppose that it's for the best." Yuugi said. She suddenly gasped in pain as she clutched her stomach.
"Yuugi, what's wrong?!" Jou asked, alarmed.
"I-I think that-that I'm-I'm in-labor." Yuugi gasped out from the pain.
"WHAT?!" came four very panicked voices.
"What do we do?! What do we do?!" Malik exclaimed.
"Okay. We have no idea what to do!" Heba exclaimed.
"Malik, Heba. Stay with Yuugi. Jou, go get Isis and tell her Yuugi is in labor. I'll go tell Yami." Ryou said.
Malik ran from the room and went toward the healing chambers.
Ryou also ran from the room, but her an in the other direction.
"ISIS!" Malik shouted as he ran into the healing chambers.
"Malik! You should know not to shout like that!" Isis scolded as she came near him.
"Isis, please. Come quick. It's Yuugi." Malik said.
"What about Yuugi?" Isis asked quickly, alarmed.
"She thinks that she's in labor." Malik said.
That was all Isis needed to hear before she and a helper ran from the healing chambers to Yuugi's room with Malik on their heels.
Ryou arrived at the door to the throne room only to be stopped by the guards.
"I'm sorry, but no one is allowed to enter." the guard said.
"I have to see the Pharaoh." Ryou said.
"No. Our orders were that no one pass." the guard said.
"You don't understand. This is something that he needs to hear." Ryou said.
"Move on, brat." the second guard spat.
Ryou's eyes flashed. "Listen up. The Queen is in labor, and I don't think that the Pharaoh will be too thrilled when he finds out that you two kept me from telling him that his wife is about to give birth to his child and the heir to the throne." Ryou said venomously.
Both guards paled at the thought.
Isis and her helper burst into Yuugi's room.
Isis went over to Yuugi.
"Isis, I think I'm having the baby." Yuugi said in labored breaths.
"Yes. I know." Isis said. She looked up and said, "Heba. Jou. Malik. All of you out."
The three jumped at her commanding voice and were out of the room in a second.
The doors were shut behind them.
"It's all right, Yuugi. We're going to help you." Isis said.
Yuugi nodded, not able to say much else from the pain.
"Getting the information was easy." Bakura said.
"Too easy. I didn't get enough fun." Marik added.
Yami shook his head. "You two know how to get prisoners to talk, but I think that you like your job a little too much." Yami said.
"Then you shouldn't have given us the job of torturing prisoners for information." Bakura said with a smug smirk.
"At least they get the job done." Atemu put in.
The door to the throne room were thrown open.
"What is-" Mahado started.
Ryou didn't let him finish. "Yami, come quick! Yuugi's in labor!" Ryou exclaimed.
"WHAT?!" Yami shouted before he jumped to his feet and ran from the room faster than anyone thought he could run.
The priests, Bakura, Marik, and Ryou were behind him.
When they reached the doors to Yami and Yuugi's room, they found Heba, Jou, and Malik outside.
"How is she?" Yami asked.
"We don't know. Isis kicked us out as soon as she got there." Heba replied.
"There's nothing that we can do now except wait." Atemu said, placing a calming hand on Yami's shoulder.
"Yuugi push." Isis said.
Yuugi did as she was told although she was tired and in pain.
Soon, there was crying that filled the air.
"Isis, is the baby all right?" Yuugi asked.
"Yes. She's fine." Isis answered.
A gasp of pain escaped Yuugi.
Alarmed, Isis handed the newborn to a helper and placed a hand on Yuugi's stomach. Isis' eyes widened as she said, "There's another baby."
A second helper took the newborn so that the first helper could aid Isis.
"Yuugi, I need you to push." Isis told her.
Yuugi did as she was told and pushed. She was tired and this made it worse.
It seemed like forever to Yuugi.
"Yuugi, we're almost there. I need you to push hard." Isis said.
Though tired, Yuugi did what she was told, and soon, another cry filled the air.
"Isis, is-" Yuugi started.
Isis smiled. "Yes. Yuugi. He is fine." Isis said.
"A boy and a girl." Yuugi said.
"Yes." Isis answered.
The group had been waiting outside the room for almost four hours, and everyone was growing worried, but no one more than Yami.
Yami was nervously pacing back and forth, worried about his wife and child. 'Please, Ra. Let Yuugi and my child make it.' Yami thought.
After what seemed like an eternity to Yami, the doors to his room opened, and Isis along with the helpers, walked out.
"Isis, is Yuugi all right?" Yami asked immediately.
"Yes. She is fine. She had twins." Isis said.
The statement brought a chilling silence to them.
The Egyptian law stated that twin boys could not exist, and that if a queen gives broth to twins, one of the twin boys had to be killed.
"Isis, are you-" Yami started. He knew that he couldn't kill his own child.
Isis raised a hand. "You can calm yourself. Yuugi had a boy and a girl." Isis said.
That brought relief to everyone. It meant that nothing would have to be done.
'Thank Ra.' Yami thought, especially relieved that he did not have to do anything to his child.
"You can go in and see them if you want." Isis said.
Yami was inside the room in a split second.
"That was a close call." Mahado said.
"Not really. When the first was born, it was a girl. Nothing would have happened had the other been a girl." Isis said.
"Agreed." Seth said.
"Are they all doing okay, Isis?" Heba asked.
"Yes. I think that leaving Yuugi and Yami alone with them for a little while is in order. You can see them when they say." Isis said.
"I think that it's safe to say that no more business shall be conducted today." Eternias said.
"Indeed. I believe we have to celebrate Egypt's new Crown Prince and Princess." Omar said.
Yami walked into the room to see Yuugi sitting in bed, holding the twins. "Yuugi, are you all right?" Yami asked, needing to hear the words from his wife's mouth.
"Yes, Yami. I'm tired, but I'm fine otherwise. Would you like to see your children?" Yuugi asked.
Yami looked down to see that the girl looked more like Yuugi with her wide eyes and gentle features, but her eyes were crimson, like Yami's. The boy had the sharp features of Yami although his eyes were amethyst, like Yuugi's. Both had the tri-color hair.
"They're gorgeous, Yuugi." Yami said.
"I agree." Yuugi said.
Gently, Yami took the boy from him and held him. "We're going to have fun raising them." Yami said.
Yuugi chuckled. "It would be nice to give them names before we start that." Yuugi said.
Yami smiled. "Yes. What do you think?" Yami asked.
"Well, I was thinking Amunet for the girl, and Amun for the boy." Yuugi said.
"Hmm. I think that they are both fine names. Prince Amun and Princess Amunet." Yami said.
Yuugi smiled. "I think that has a nice ring to it." Yuugi said.
"So do I." Yami agreed.
"They're adorable!" Amara exclaimed.
The family had gathered to see the children.
"Wow. Who would have thought that you would have had twins, Yuugi?" Ryou said..
"As fat as she was, it's not wonder." Bakura said.
"Bakura!" the whole room said.
"What?" Bakura asked.
"Oh, don't worry. I'll get you back for that, Bakura, when I'm strong enough." Yuugi said.
Bakura gulped.
"You have to present them to the people now." Seth said.
"Not today." Yuugi said.
"That will wait until tomorrow." Yami agreed.
"Well, at least the kingdom no longer has to worry about an heir." Yuesei said.
"You mean the council doesn't." Atemu replied.
"Yeah. First it was courting, then marriage, then children." Yami said.
"They mean well." Aknankanon said.
"I know, father. It just gets irritating." Yami said.
"Well, I think they'll be off your back now." Yuugi said.
The following day, the people of Egypt had gathered.
Everyone was excited about the birth of the twin Royals.
Yami stood on the balcony with Yuugi, who held the two twins in her arms.
"My people, as you know, the Queen gave birth to the heir of the throne yesterday. I present you Prince Amun and Princess Amunet." Yami said.
The crowd started to cheer for the new twins.
Yuugi and Yami smiled at each other.
Egypt had a bright future indeed.
