Eve Rider - Ryo is still a male. I was going to explain this in detail later but I'll say it now. Sex in its basic form is reproduction. The Shadow Magic floating around the Shadow Realm recognized that, and also recognized that the uke was "infertile" in a way and helped him out. Ryo still has his male genitalia but also now has a uterus. No ovaries, no fallopian tubes, no birth canal. I have a plan, don't worry. As for Bakura being Nosocomephobic that was a joke my best friend and I came up with completely by accident while RPing. She was RPing Akefia and I was Bakura and she started talking about putting someone in the hospital and I made Bakura get all defensive.

TOD ZUYO – No. Bakura does not want to be a father. At least he doesn't think he does. Childhood trauma makes him corrupt the small children.

Don't own Yugioh. Bite me

Yugi squealed and hugged Ryo, who just sat there with a stunned look on his face. Bakura sank slowly into a chair as his knees would no longer support him.

"You're two weeks along," continued Yami. "And let me tell you, you've had a bad pregnancy so far. Most women don't get morning sickness this bad. You really should get something for morning sickness. You're eating for two now and you were underweight to begin with; now you're just borderline malnourished."

Ryo put his hand hesitantly on his stomach. "But that's…impossible."

"Nothing is impossible in the Shadow Realm," said Bakura weakly. Yami nodded agreement. Bakura hadn't noticed it before, but now that Yami had said it, he had to admit that Ryo was too thin. His ribs were beginning to show.

"If the Shadows thought you were trying to make a baby, which is what sex is, they would've helped it along and given the uke the proper organ," said Yami.

Ryo looked down at his stomach. Bakura gently put his hand over Ryo's.

"Come on, Ryo," said Yugi cheerfully. "Let's let the guys let this sink in." Ryo tried to say that he needed to let this sink in, but no sound came out. Yugi grabbed his hand and pulled him to his room.

Yami sat down next to Bakura, who was staring sightlessly at a corner. "You look less than thrilled."

"How could this happen, Pharaoh?" asked Bakura. "I can't be somebody's parent, you of all people know that."

"You should've thought of that before you knocked him up," said Yami. Bakura decided not to comment on the fact that he didn't know that.

"It's still early," said Bakura. "Could we force a miscarriage or something before it develops enough?"

Yami shook his head. "Not only is that the most inhuman thing you have ever said, but without a birth canal, it'll have nowhere to go. It'll still have to be born, and if its born dead, how do you think Ryo would take it?"

"He'd be crushed," said Bakura. "He loves kids."

"Not that it might not miscarry on its own," said Yami. "I've seen one or two successful male pregnancies as Pharaoh, but I've seen a lot more that didn't make it. And Ryo isn't exactly the pinnacle of health. As the moment he doesn't have enough fat to support himself, let alone a baby."

Bakura nodded mutely. He couldn't speak past the lump in his throat as he saw the truth in Yami's words. He couldn't raise a child. But he wanted it to live for Ryo. But if Ryo couldn't support them both, what if something bad happened to him?

"You could always get an abortion," suggested Yami.

Bakura turned to face him with a snarl. "No one is going to touch my child!" he hissed.

Yami clapped him on the shoulder. "See? You'll make a fine father. You're already protecting your kid, and your kid isn't even anything but a few cells yet."

Bakura just stared after him as Yami left the room. He dimly realized that he has just been successfully tricked out of his self put-down.

"Ryo, are you mad at me?" Bakura asked on the drive home.

"Hmm?" asked Ryo, jerked out of his own little world.

"Are you mad at me?"

""For what?" asked Ryo in confusion.

"For taking you in the Shadow Realm and causing all this."

Ryo leaned over and kissed Bakura on the cheek. "Of course not. I don't think I've ever been happier. I've always wanted kids. She'll be perfect!"

"'She?'" asked Bakura, raising an eyebrow.

"Every baby starts out female," said Ryo, pointing ahead to draw Bakura's attention back to the road.

"That may be true, but we are definitely having a boy," said Bakura matter-of-factly.

Ryo rolled his eyes but made no further comment. They were about a block from their house when Ryo spoke again.

"Bakura."

"Yeah?"

"I'm gonna be sick again."

Things went well for another few weeks. Yami had obtained pills for morning sickness that had improved Ryo's stomach and mood greatly. He still got sick, but it was much less often and he slowly but surely gained his weight back, until he was able to support the baby and himself healthily. He was thrilled with the thought of the life growing inside him, while Bakura seemed to sink more into denial with each day that passed.

One morning, Bakura entered the house moodily while Ryo was reading a parenting book. Ryo looked up as a small box landed on his lap to see Bakura heading upstairs.

"Bakura, what's this?" Ryo asked sternly, putting down the book and picking up the box. His eyes narrowed as he saw what it was.

Bakura froze; he had really hoped to avoid a scene. "It's a home pregnancy test," he answered coolly.

"And why, pray tell, did you get this?" asked Ryo in a hurt and angry voice.

"Because I don't trust the Pharaoh?"

"Oh, and you trust medical science more!" asked Ryo coldly.

"Yes! No! I don't know!" yelled Bakura. "Just do it, Ry. I don't want to deal with all this shit until I'm certain I have to!"

Bakura ran the rest of the way upstairs to their bedroom. He closed the door behind him and threw himself facedown on the bed. He didn't want to be a parent, but he had to admit he could've handled that better.

"Fuck," he said into the pillow. He hadn't meant to blow up at Ryo, especially if he was pregnant. So much drama came with a baby. He hated drama. He squeezed the pillow and buried his face deeper into it. "What is my malfunction?"

Bakura rolled over onto his back and sighed. He stared at the ceiling, feeling like a complete and total jerk. He could hear Ryo moving around in the bathroom down the hall. He closed his eyes and mentally figured out what he would say to apologize to Ryo. Now if only he could find the will to get off the damn bed.

His eyes shot open again when something collided with the wall above his head with a decent amount of force and landed on his stomach. He sat up slightly to see Ryo standing in the doorway. His fists were clenched by his sides and he was silently crying.

"There, I hope you're happy," he spat in a bitter voice. "I hope this makes you man up now that 'all this shit' is really happening!" Ryo spun around on his heels and with a flash of white hair he was gone. Bakura heard the front door slam.

Bakura picked the object up off his stomach and looked at it. It was the pregnancy test, very clearly reading positive. Bakura groaned and facepalmed himself, flopping back on the bed. That hadn't gone as intended at all.

Yeah, Bakura is apparently the one with mood swings now. Okay, no, he's not, but I had to have at least one Bakura-is-a-dick scene. Somebody doesn't want to be a daddy at the moment~

Ryo is five weeks along.
