Chapter Thirty-Two

It has been a year since Bakura, Sasha got married, and today Marik came to talk to his mom and dad. "Can I talk to you both, it's kind of important?" Marik asked.

Helga and Roland followed Marik out of the family room into the kitchen; they were surprised to see Armando sitting there. As they sat down at the table, Helga said, "Son what is it?"

Marik sat beside Armando and said, "We want to get married, we know that we said that we'd wait till we got out of College, but that's only three months away."

Helga looked at Roland who was trying not to laugh and she pretended to hit him and she said, "Roland O'Brien, behave yourself, the she said, now Marik and Armando, I have a question for the two of you, is either of you pregnant is that why you want to get married so soon?"

Roland couldn't contain himself any longer, he started laughing so hard that he nearly fell off the chair, the looks on Marik's and Armando's faces caused Helga to join her husband, then Marik stood up and said, "MOM!"

Armando then started snickering and soon he joined Helga and Roland laughing. He said, "Marik it is kind of funny isn't it?"

Marik never really showed emotion until he and Armando started dating and then he completely changed, Marik looked at the three of them and then he too started laughing and he said, "Alright, can we please get back to what I was talking about, is it alright if we get married now?"

Helga, Roland and Armando wiped the tears from their faces and Roland said, "I have a couple of questions, the first on, do either of you have enough money saved so that you can move in together, and second, how much is this going to cost me."

Marik's eyes filled with tears as he hugged his mom and dad and he said, "I promise that it won't cost you two anything, you see both Armando and I have been saving money and we have more then enough to afford an apartment."

Armando then said, "I want you both to know that I love Marik with all my heart and soul, he is my life mate and I will never do anything to hurt him or make him hate me."

About that time, Mokie came into the kitchen to get something to drink and when he heard what they were talking about; he quietly backed out of the kitchen and ran to tell the others what he heard.

Seto had to grab hold of Mokie so that he wouldn't fall on the floor, he was running so fast, then Mokie said, "I know something that none of you know?"

About that time Roland walked into the room and was standing behind Mokie, he didn't realize that his dad was there, and then Roland said, "What do you know?"

Mokie jumped and yelled, "Daddy you scared me." Roland then said, "Your mom and I are calling a family meeting, Seto, Joey go get the others and come back here."

Then he looked at Mokie and said, "You keep quiet, it's your brother who will tell them not you." Mokie said, "Alright."

When everyone was in the family room, Marik, Armando and Helga walked in and Helga sat down next to Mokie while Roland stood by the pool table, then he said, "Your brother has something he wants to say."

Marik stood beside Armando and he said, "We want to get married." Ishizu and Mai both clapped their hands and said, "That's great."

Then Tea said, "But you both promised to wait until you were out of College, why can't you two wait until then?"

Yugi, Malik and Ryou just said, "Oh, yeah another dumb wedding."

Seto and Joey had to hide their faces, they were both going to start laughing and then from the doorway they all heard, "We were coming here to tell you the same thing, Anthony and I want to get married too."

Everyone turned around and there stood Yami and Anthony; Helga looked at Roland and said, "I can't do this."

Then she got up and left the room. Roland said, "I'm going to go talk to your mom, we'll be right back."

Helga had gone outside and was standing looking at the big Mulberry tree where a year ago Bakura her oldest had gotten married, and now her next two oldest sons want to get married, she just couldn't do it.

Roland walked over to her and he put his arms around her and pulled her against his chest and as she just completely lost it and started crying he said, "Babe, we're not losing our sons, their just getting married and you if I know them, they'll all be over to get some of your great cooking."

Helga looked up into that handsome face of the man she loved more the life itself and as she wiped the tears away she said, "I know it, but we raised them and now they want to leave home and live some place else."

Roland chuckled and said, "What about all the long talks we had about when our kids grew up and moved out and we'd have the house to ourselves, just think, we could go naked all day if we wanted to."

Helga started giggling and she said, "I do like that idea, oh I'm just being an old fuddie duddie I guess."

Roland hugged her and then he said, "No, you're being a mother, who doesn't want her babies to leave the nest."

Then he kissed her and when she kissed him back, he said, "Damn woman, you are getting me all hot and bothered and there's nothing we can do about it."

Helga looked back at the house and then she took Roland's hand and led him over to an area in the yard that was protected from view by some bushes and she said, "If we keep quiet."

Roland didn't let her complete what she was going to say. They did something that they hadn't done since they were newlyweds; they made love in the yard.

When they walked back inside and sat down, Marik said, "Mom are you alright with our wanting to get married?"

No one really noticed that Helga and Roland's clothes were a little messed up and that there was some grass in Helga's hair, she then said, "I'm just acting like a little baby, I love you and Yami and I guess I didn't want either of you to leave home.

I love Armando and Anthony too and if this is what you four really want then your father and I want it too, now as a family we have to vote if we all want them to get married."

Then one by one, the kids all stood up and said, "We're happy for them, yes we want them to get married." Then Roland said, "Then I guess we're having a double wedding here, but when?"

Helga said, "I'll call Linda and Kelly and see if they can help me plan the two weddings, if they can then I'd say in four days, is that alright?"

Marik looked at Armando who nodded and then he said, "Alright." Yami and Anthony both agreed, the Roland said, "Alright, now how about of we go help get dinner going, I'm hungry."

He looked at Helga and winked, she blushed, Roland laughed, and she took one of the small pillows from the couch and threw it at him.

Mai whispered something to Ishizu who giggled as they went to the kitchen, Mai softly said, "I bet you they did it back where the bushes hide the view from the house." Ishizu laughed and said, "You go mom and dad."

When dinner was ready, Helga looked at Anthony and Armando and said, "Since you both are going to be part of our family, you can call me mom and Roland dad."

Armando and Anthony both had tears in their eyes as they heard what Helga said, and then they went over, gave her a hug, shook Roland's hand, and said, "Alright, mom and dad."

They were just getting ready to sit down at the table, when the front door opened and Bakura and Sasha walked in, Bakura said, "Mom and Dad can we talk to you alone."
