A very pregnant six months Seto had his hand on his back as he paced one of the longer halls of the mansion. What had him in a tizzy was beyond him; airplanes landed every day, babies were born everyday. His pacing was affecting Molly as well. She chased after him eagerly, waiting for the moment he'd stop to turn around. Because when he'd stop she'd nip at his slippers.
Jou had spent a good part of the morning searching the mansion in search of Seto. It wasn't like him to just disappear. He had noticed the previous evening that Seto didn't sleep well, it wasn't the frequent bathroom trips either; something was bothering him. Finally he heard the 'yip' of Molly.
"How long have you been here Seto?" Jou smiled, and headed towards the end of the hall were Seto was currently stationed, as he looked out the window. The energetic dog, pleased at the pause because she could attack slippers. Molly; however, stopped when Jou had started coming towards them. 'New Slippers!' She took off, meeting Jou half way.
Seto turned, and smiled at Jou. "Since three this morning. But there's about an hours worth of bathroom time in there." His hands moved from his back, to massage his stomach. He sighed, as they kicked him extra hard as if saying get your butt moving. "They seem happier when I walk, I think they know I am nervous."
Jou stood behind Seto, nuzzling his neck and his helped Seto massage his stomach. "What in the world do you have to be nervious about?"
"Mokuba comes home in two days. Yami's baby is due Christmas, ours on Valentines Day. The fact that I forgot breakfast, so I am thinking extra hard about what I will eat for lunch." Seto leaned into Jou, almost purring at touch as it calmed the twins. "Then, of all things, I have that huge meeting next week. You know: Christmas Eyes in Visions of Blue."
"Mokuba's a big boy Seto, it isn't like you have to worry him coming home pregnant or nothing. And, Yuugi's baby came out all right, so Yam's will to. Promise you. These two will stay in the oven till they breads done cooking… Or whatever the fuck that phrase is. And, speaking of break and ovens you do need to eat love, lets go do brunch." Jou straightened up, and took Seto's hand leading him down the hall Molly in toe. "And, everything will work out just fine involving the amusement park."
"If Mokuba comes home pregnant I'll ground him!" Seto growled. "He maybe old enough to make decisions but…"
"But, what love? Looked at yourself lately?" Jou grinned, and poked Seto's stomach.
"He's not married Jou!" Seto stopped in the middle, crossing his arms at his chest. "And, he better not think of bringing a girl home without a ring on her finger."
"Or, boy…" Jou crossed his own arms. "And, I don't remember a ring being on my finger when we first had a roll in the hay."
"What ever Jou, but I mean it!" Seto huffed, and then his eyes widened. "You're hiding something from me aren't you?"
Jou looked away, and started walking again. "Everything's just fine Seto stop worrying."

Seto picked up the knitting needles, and found where he'd left off on the quilt. Some of the ladies in the Lamaze classes had formed a knitting group, and Seto having more forced free time had joined. Surprisingly he'd come to enjoy knitting. Molly had found something to like about it; when the yarn ball rolled away it was an opportunity to play fetch. Jou couldn't understand what either of them enjoyed about balls of yarn.
"Alice in Wonderland again?" Jou who was hiding something behind his back sat on the sofa next to Seto.
"The twins like it." Seto smiled, and recited the Walrus. "Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, and cabbages and kings."
"Alright love, this pregnancy has made you a fruit loop." Jou grinned as wide as the Cheshire cat himself. "First yah buy a dog, then you start knitting, and now your reciting children's videos."
Seto rolled his eyes. "Stop making fun of me, or I'll…"
"You'll what?" Jou giggled, and started to tickle Seto. "I'm the only one who can do the poking around here remember."
Seto eyes narrowed as he laughed due to the tickling. "Just you wait."
Seto breathing heavily caused Jou to stop and looked concerned. "You alright?"
"Yes." Seto smiled, and started knitting again. "At least this Black Eye Dragon won't have a funny tail."
"We'll that last quilt was your first attempt. You've gotten better since then." Jou reached behind him and pulled out a bag of marshmallows. He threw one Seto, and when it fell to the floor Molly ate it.
"Marshmallows!" Seto's eyes widened, as he set aside his knitting. "I searched the kitchen over this morning, thought we were out."
"We were but I made a special trip this afternoon." Jou grinned, and handed Seto the bag. "Just try to not eat this bag in one sitting."
Seto leaned forward and kissed Jou softly on the lips. "Thank You."

December 15
It was bath time, Yuugi and Aurora were busy helping Mana and Atemu. Yami having less than two weeks left of the pregnancy was already in bed.
Mahado had snuck away from the adults and had brought a stool into Michiko's room; carefully he'd taken her from her crib. He was sitting on the floor cradling her. This wasn't a side he'd show around his brother and sister, he was tougher than them, and while he protected them he didn't actually show a side of caring that he had siblings.
Michiko was fond of Mahado, even if she had only come to exist in the world recently. Opening heavy eye lids, smacking lips, she reached up with pudgy hands and tangled then into the violet streaks.
Mahado cooed through his giggle. "Want to hear of how your mommy and daddy saved the world."
Unaware of how much time had passed, Mahado continued to cradle his sister who was making a mixture of faces over the story. Yuugi having heard voices in Michiko's room went to see what was up. Pausing temporarily for a smile to grace his face as he found Mahado in there with him.
"And then…" Yuugi smiled, as he sat next to Mahado.
Mahado looked up to Yuugi, and smiled. "You tell them Mommy, and I'll be angry."
"Our secret then." Yuugi ran his fingers through Mahado's hair. "She likes you."
"A lot." Mahado smiled, as Michiko again tangled pudgy fingers in her brother's hair.
