"Got my face pressed up against the nursery glass,
she's sleeping like a rock,
my name on her wrist,
wearing tiny pink socks,
she's got my nose,
she's got her Mama's eyes,
my brand new baby girl,
she's a miracle,
I Saw God Today." -"I Saw God Today" by George Strait

Cecelia slept for a long time after her labor. She had completely worn herself out. When she woke up, it was twelve hours later. She looked over to see Maximillion asleep in the chair beside her. She tried to go back to sleep, but it was a fruitless endeavor. So she stared at the ceiling, wondering about her child until her husband awoke.

"Cecelia darling, how long have you been up?" He asked wearily.

"An hour or so."

"Why didn't you wake me?"

"Because you needed the sleep, Max. You were just as exhausted by the labor as any of those doctors. You needed some rest."

Pegasus glanced toward the door.

"Any word yet on the baby?" She shook her head no. "What if she dies?" It was her worst fear. He took both her hands and clasped them in his own.

"Don't think like that. She's going to be okay."

"But what if-" Max put a finger to her lips to stop her.

"When you do that you're only hurting yourself. Have a little faith."

"Faith isn't exactly my strong point." She murmured.

"Well it's about to get a good work out." He said, sadly.

"That's an understatement." Her cynical tone surprised him.

For a long time they sat there together, hoping and praying that their baby would be okay. Cecelia didn't know what else to do. This was her baby. The first child she had ever loved that had grown inside of her. If she was gone, she didn't know what she'd do. When a doctor finally arrived, she felt her throat constrict. She wanted to speak, but no sound would come out.

"Mr. And Mrs. Pegasus?" He asked with a thick accent. They nodded.

"She'll have to stay in the NICU for a few days, but you'll be able to take her home. She should be fine."

The second he said those words, Cecelia felt such tremendous relief that she nearly fell over. Maximillion kept her steady and smiled.

"Thank you, doctor."

The doctor nodded. "Anytime."

Five days later, both Cecelia and her baby were discharged from the hospital. As the three of them were driven home, She couldn't help but think about the dramatic turn that her life had taken. She had her friends, she had her love, and most importantly, she had her family. As they drove up the driveway, Cecelia smiled at the sight of her home. The sun was just beginning to set on the horizon, giving the trees a majestic glow about them. As she got out of the car and got her daughter out of the car seat, she took her husband's hand as they officially started on one of the greatest journeys of their lifetimes: parenthood.

That day, Max had one more piece of business to attend to before he could say his work was done for the day. The helicopter landed on the rooftop, and Croquet led their guest inside. When all was said and done, their guest was taken back home, and the first time parents were left to their own devices.

It was a few days later in Domino City that something special took place. For Yugi Moto, it started out as an average day. He went to school, hung out with his friends, and did his chores as he was expected to. It wasn't until later that evening that something changed. A knock came at his bedroom door.

"Come in!" He called. In walked Solomon Moto, Yugi's grandfather, holding an envelope.

"This came in the mail for you today." He said.

"Oh? I wonder who it could be from."

He looked on the envelope, but there was no return address. He checked the stamp and saw something familiar. The symbol of industrial illusions. He now knew exactly who this was from. When he opened up the envelope, two pictures and a letter spilled out. He decided to read the letter first.

Dear Yugi-Boy,

If it weren't for you protecting her, Cecelia would not be back in my arms again, so I thank you for that from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to your bravery, my new family is flourishing. We wanted to find some way to thank you for all you've done for us. For right now, however, this is what we could spare. If you ever need something, I'll be there. May you and your friends be happy.

Thanks
-M. P.

Yugi smiled at the letter and then picked up the two pictures. The first was of Pegasus and Cecelia smiling at the camera and holding a pink bundle of blankets. Yugi couldn't help but grin when he saw how genuinely happy they seemed to be. He set down that picture and looked at the other one. It was newborn shots of their baby girl.

The little girl, who couldn't have been much longer than Yugi's forearm, was in several different positions in the pictures, but was always laying on what seemed to be pink silk. Many of them were of just her, but a few of them included her happy parents. Of the ones containing just her, her eyes were shut and her mouth was just slightly open. She was the picture of innocence, and it made him smile. When he looked down at the bottom of the picture, he saw the stats they had on her.

Yugi looked over at Yami, who was looking at the photos too.

"Pretty cool, huh?"

"Yes. It's good to see Pegasus happy." Yugi nodded.

"It's good to know he won't be taking over the world anymore." He added. Yami chuckled.

"That too." Yugi picked up the letter and pinned it to his wall. He couldn't wait to show his friends the pictures in the morning. He climbed into bed that night feeling happy and at peace. The same feeling that Pegasus had hundreds of miles away. He went to sleep that night with a smile on his face.

This was exactly where he belonged.
