Chapter Nineteen

It has been four months since Joey came to live at the Manor, Roland and Helga has adopted Serenity, and now she is their youngest daughter, and today they are having a party to celebrate.

Bakura, Marik, Ishizu, Mai and Yami all went to talk to their parents, they told them about having someone that they really liked and that sometime they'd like to bring them home for both Roland and Helga to meet.

Roland and Helga were rather surprised with what they wanted to talk to them about, but both of them knew that eventually they would all be coming to them about whom they were dating.

Helga then said, "How about if all of you invite the ones you like to come to the party and that way all your brothers and sisters can meet them too."

The expression on their faces was priceless and Helga could not stop laughing, then Roland coughed and said, "Alright, we know that all of you will probably get teased by the younger ones, but that's only normal.

So I ask each of you to take what they do or say with a smile and maybe a laugh, but please don't get angry with any of them."

So all of them agreed to bring the ones that they were dating to the party and they promised to take the teasing with a smile. Helga asked Roland, "Can I call Molly and see if she can caterer the party, that way neither Ishizu nor Mai will have to get their clothes dirty, and I can have a day off from cooking."

Roland laughed and he pulled her into his arms, kissed her and said, "Go call Molly and see if she can help you." Helga smiled up at this gentle man that she loved more then life itself and she gave him a kiss before going to the phone to call Molly.

Well Molly told Helga, "I'd love to come do it for you, you have been the best friend anyone could ask for, now how many will be there?" Helga told her and Molly said, "Alright, I'll see you then."

Later that day, Roland called all the kids together in the family room and said, "You know that we're having a party to celebrate Serenity becoming your sister, well we're also going to be having a few more guests.

Your older brothers and sisters are bringing the ones that they are dating here for us to meet and I want all of you to be on your best behaviors tonight, is that clear."

They all said, "We will." Then Helga said, "If not then who ever messes up will not be able to watch television or play any of the games for a week." "We'll be good we promise they all said." Both Roland and Helga knew that the young ones would probably tease their older siblings a little and that was all right, but if it got out of hand, that is when the punishment would be handed down.

It was getting near time to eat, so Bakura, Marik and Yami went to get their guests while Ishizu and Mai waited for their guests to arrive, they were both a little excited and a lot worried that their parents would not like whom they were bringing.

Finally, Bakura, Marik and Yami got back and as they walked into the family room Bakura said, "Mom, Dad I'd like to introduce Sasha Davis." Both Helga and Roland walked over and shook hands with her as did Seto and Joey, and the young ones said, "Welcome."

Then Marik said, "Mom, Dad I'd like to introduce Armando Vegas." Helga and Roland shook his hand, as did Seto and Joey, and again the young ones said, "Welcome."

Then Yami said, "Mom, Dad I'd like to introduce Anthony Roberts." Helga and Roland shook hands with him as did Seto and Joey, and again the young ones said, "Welcome."

Then Ishizu said, "Mom, Dad I'd like to introduce

Samuel Kennedy." Helga and Roland shook his hand as well did Seto and Joey, and the young ones said, "Welcome."

Finally, Mai came up and said, "Mom, Dad I'd like to introduce Vincent Lopez." Helga and Roland went over and shook his hand, as did Seto and Joey and the young ones said, "Welcome."

Molly came and said, "Dinner is served." So Roland offered Helga his arm and they led the way into the dining room, when they were all seated, before any food was served, Helga said, "Yugi, it's your turn to say grace."

Yugi bowed his hand and folded his hands, as did everyone else, and he said, "Please bless this food and all the people sitting at this table. Amen." Then they all said, "Amen." Then Molly and her staff began serving the delicious meal of roast beef, broccoli, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, and rolls with butter.

They all enjoyed themselves, there was lots of talking and laughter in the room and when they were all done eating, Molly said, "We have some delicious dessert, it is one of Helga's favorites that she allowed me to make."

The kids all were excited while the guest were confused, then Roland said, "My wife makes the best Peach Cobbler in the world, that's why my kids are so excited." When they were all served the dessert, and they began to eat it, the guests loved the delicious Peach Cobbler.

After dinner, they all got up and went to the family room, where they had their coffee or tea which ever they wanted and that is when both Roland and Helga have to know more about their older kids guests.

They both loved Sasha when they met her; she was a sweet young lady who brought out the best of their oldest son.

Armando was a little hesitant to meet then since his own family disinherited him when they learned that he loves another man, but both Roland and Helga liked him and said, "If you love our son, then that's all we want."

The both liked Samuel and Vincent because they too loved their daughters and that is all they wanted, someone to love both Ishizu and Mai.

Anthony was older then Yami and Yami was kind of afraid that would his parents won't approve of who he was in love with.

When they both met Anthony, they liked the man but was he the right one for their son; well they soon learned that Anthony really did love Yami, so they liked him too.

Tea, Yugi, Ryou, Malik and Mokuba all made fun of their siblings making goo goo eyes at their boyfriends and girlfriends.

Roland and Helga could not help but chuckle at this, they were truly blessed, and they had the family that they had always dreamed of having.

Seto and Joey sat on the couch watching the young ones make fun of their older siblings and their girlfriends and boyfriends and Joey whispered to Seto, "Wonder which one will crack first and start chasing them?"

Seto burst out laughing and that caused Roland and Helga to start laughing too, then Bakura, Marik, Ishizu, Mai and Yami to stare at them and then with their boyfriends and girlfriends by their sides, they too started laughing.

Anthony said, "I love this family, all of you aren't afraid to say or do whatever is on your minds, it's refreshing to know that in this world of cynics that love and laughter still exists."

Sasha, Armando, Samuel and Vincent all agreed, and then they all gave Bakura, Marik, Ishizu, Mai and Yami kisses and then everyone cheered and clapped, they were all so happy for their brothers, sisters and sons and daughter.

That evening Roland said, "Mom and I want all of you to know that we think that all of you have chosen the right people to love and we want all of your boyfriends and girlfriend to know that we welcome you into our family.

Helga then said, "My husband and I would loved meet each of you and we hope that all of you enjoyed the dinner."

They all praised the delicious dinner and the heavenly dessert, and that just made Helga and Molly's day. Soon it was time for Bakura, Marik and Yami take the ones they loved home, and Ishizu and Mai both walked their loved ones to the door, Samuel kissed Ishizu and Vincent kissed Mai.

From behind them, they heard giggling and Samuel said, "They remind me of when my older brother was dating and I was doing the teasing." When they closed the door, both Ishizu and Mai said, "You all better be in bed before we get up those stairs!"

Roland and Helga were sitting outside enjoying the quiet when they heard Ishizu and Mai yell, "You all better be in bed before we get up those stairs."

Helga laughed and said, "There's never a dull moment around here is there?"

Roland put his arm around her and kissed her, when he lifted his head he said, "No, and I wouldn't want it any other way." Then they got up and went inside to make sure that everyone was in bed.
