Chapter 30- The Wedding
~4 Months Later~
Yugi walked into the mansion after a day of work. He had a doctor's appointment later and needed to get ready for it. He found Heba running around.
"Okay. So, I've got to get the caterer and the florist, and I need to get the gardens reserved for where I want the wedding. Oh! And then there's the tuxes, not to mention the arch, the chairs, the decoration. How am I going to get all this done?!" Heba cried.
"Heba." Yugi said.
"Ah!" Heba shouted in fright as he whipped around to face his brother. "Yugi, don't do that! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Heba exclaimed.
Yugi rolled his eyes. "What are you going on about?" Yugi asked.
"Yugi, Atemu and I want to get married on May 30. It's May 3. How am I going to get everything that needs to be done finished in time?" Heba asked.
"You're just now starting all this?" Yugi said.
"Well, I guess I did procrastinate a little." Heba said.
"A little. It's twenty-seven days until your wedding day, and you have nothing done." Yugi said.
"I am so dead. I can't get all this done in time. We're going t have to postpone the wedding." Heba said,
Yugi sighed. "I'll tell you what. I'll help you get everything done." Yugi said.
"You will?!" Heba cried in happiness.
"Yes, I will. Yami's been bugging me to take a little time off, and this will do it." Yugi said.
"Great. We need to-" Heba started.
Yugi held up a hand. "Heba, the reason that I came home early is because I have a doctor's appointment. I'll go to that, and then I'll come back and help you, okay?" Yugi asked.
"Okay. Thanks." Heba said.
Yugi went upstairs to get ready for his doctor's appointment before he left to go and see Dr. Brant.
"Well, everything looks good, Yugi. You've taken good care of yourself." Dr. Brant said.
"Thanks. I try to do the best that I can." Yugi said.
"I was rather surprised that Mr. Sennen was here with you. He usually comes." Dr. Brant said.
"He was supposed to, but my guess would be that he got caught up at work." Yugi said.
A moment later, a nurse let Yami in the room.
"Sorry I'm late. Got caught up at work." Yami said.
"It's all right, Yami." Yugi said.
"I was just telling Yugi that he's doing fine, and that everything looks good. He's taken good care of himself." Dr. Brant said.
"That's good to hear." Yami said.
"It's very good, and I have some more news for you." Dr. Brant said.
"What's that?" Yugi asked.
"You're having twins." Dr. Brant said.
"Twins?!" Yugi and Yami exclaimed at the same time.
Dr. Brant nodded. "Yes, twins.' Dr. Brant said.
"Wow. I really didn't expect that one." Yugi said.
"I can tell you the genders if you would like to know." Dr. Brant said.
Yugi and Yami looked at each other.
"We would like to know." Yami said.
"All right. You're having a boy and a girl." Dr. Brant said.
"That's great news!" Yami said.
Dr. Brant smiled. "Glad that you're happy. Yugi, there's nothing I can tell you except to keep doing what you're doing." Dr. Brant said.
"Thank you." Yugi said before the two left.
"Sorry I was late, Yugi." Yami said as they left.
"Don't worry about it, Yami. I understand that sometimes the business ties you down. As long as you're not late when I deliver them, we won't have a problem." Yugi said.
"That I will definitely not do." Yami assured him.
"Good. I have to go. I need to help Heba." Yugi said.
"With what?" Yami asked.
"Apparently, my dear brother decided to wait until the last minute to get everything ready for the wedding. He has twenty-seven, well, actually twenty-six days to get everything ready for the wedding." Yugi said.
"That'll be hard." Yami said.
"I know, and I'm going to need to take a while off so that I can help him with this." Yugi said.
"Go ahead. We need to see how good your assistant chef is, anyway. You know the regular chef takes a month off for us to see how they perform on their own." Yami said.
"Okay. I'd better go and see what all needs to be done." Yugi said.
Yami kissed Yugi before the two got in their separate cars and headed for their separate locations.
"Heba, what possessed you to wait until the last minute to get everything done?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know. I kept putting it off, saying I'd do it the next day and here we are." Heba said.
Yugi mentally groaned. "Okay. We'll divide everything up. You take half of the things that need to be done, and I'll take the other half." Yugi said.
"Okay." Heba agreed.
The two divided everything up.
Yugi set up meetings with the caterer, the musicians, and the gardens that the wedding would take place in.
Heba called the decorators, the florist, and the tuxedo rental place.
"Well, you're in the luck. The gardens were open for the day that you wanted." Yugi said.
"Thanks. What about everything else?" Heba asked.
"Well, you've got meetings the next few days." Yugi said.
Heba looked at the meeting times, and he would be busy.
"Heba, are you going to have the caterers do the cake?" Yugi asked.
"No. You are." Heba said.
"What?!" Yugi exclaimed, looking up.
Heba suddenly looked embarrassed. "Didn't I ask you about making the cake for us?" Heba asked.
"No, dear brother, you didn't ask me to make the wedding cake." Yugi said, glaring at him.
"Would you?" Heba asked.
"Fine. I will." Yugi agreed.
"Thank you!" Heba said, hugging his brother tightly.
"You're welcome. Next time, give me more notice." Yugi said.
"Sure thing." Heba said. He thought a moment and said, "Yugi, how did your doctor's appointment go?"
"It was fine. I'm doing fine, and so are the babies." Yugi said.
"Okay." Heba said.
After a moment, the words registered.
"Babies?!" Heba suddenly screamed.
Yugi jumped, frightened by this. "Yes. Yami and I are having twins." Yugi said.
"That's great, Yugi!" Heba said excitedly.
"Yeah. Yami and I are happy, too." Yugi said. He then realized what was going on. "Heba, will you focus?! We need to get this done!" Yugi snapped.
"Okay! Okay!" Heba said.
"Concentrate." Yugi said.
"How is it that Heba managed to wait so late to start planning the wedding?" Yami asked.
"I have no idea. We had a deal. I leave the wedding plans to him, and he leaves planning the honeymoon to me." Atemu said.
"And he manages to drag Yugi into this." Yami said.
"Let me guess. No sex life." Atemu said.
"You, too?" Yami asked.
Atemu nodded. "I know your pain. At least it is not permanent." Atemu said. He then realized something. "Yami, I have a favor to ask you." Atemu said.
"What's that?" Yami replied.
"Well, the honeymoon I've planned is a week in the Caribbean on a cruise. Heba's always wanted to do one. I was wondering if you and Yugi would bay-sit Mayella while we're gone." Atemu said.
"Sure thing. I don't mind, and I'm sure that Yugi won't, either. We could use the practice anyway, and we both love out niece." Yami said.
"Thanks. This helps out a lot." Atemu said.
"No problem." Yami said.
"How did Yugi's doctor's appointment go?" Atemu asked.
"Fine. Found out that he's having twins." Yami said.
"Really?" Atemu asked.
Yami nodded.
"That's great news! You two must be excited." Atemu said.
"We are." Yami replied.
~May 8, the day before the wedding rehearsal~
Yugi walked into his and Yami's room and collapsed on the bed.
"Tired?" Yami asked.
"Yes. We finally got everything done. All that is left is the rehearsal and the wedding." Yugi said.
Yami pulled Yugi up so that Yugi was leaning against him and started to rub Yugi's shoulders. "Yugi, could I make a suggestion?" Yami asked.
"What's that?" Yugi replied.
"Don't wait until the last minute to start plans on our wedding." Yami said.
"Not a problem. The moment we decide on a date, I am starting the wedding plans." Yugi said.
"Well, when do you want ours? Before or after the babies?" Yami asked.
"I think before. I don't mind being pregnant and getting married." Yugi said.
"How about July 15?" Yami asked.
Yugi smiled. "The anniversary of the day we met?" Yugi asked.
"Makes perfect sense." Yami said.
"I like that. I'll start planning as soon as this one is over." Yugi said.
"I don't blame you. We'll wait until they get back to tell them when we're getting married." Yami said.
"Good. I don't think that Heba needs anymore stress." Yugi said.
"You don't, either." Yami said.
~May 30, the wedding day~
"Heba, hold still." Yugi said as he fixed Heba's tie.
"Hoe do I look?" Heba asked.
"You look great, Heba. Atemu is going to have trouble jumping you during the ceremony." Yugi said.
"Thanks. Listen, Yugi. I know I screwed up waiting so long to plan my wedding. I appreciate you being willing to help me. Some people would have left me to do everything alone." Heba said.
Yugi smiled at him. "Heba, we're brothers. We're supposed to be there for each other. I'll always help out when you need it just like I know that you will help me out when I need it." Yugi said.
"Always." Heba said.
"Well, you're ready, Atemu." Yami said.
"Thanks for helping me out, Yami." Atemu said.
"Hey. What are brother's for?" Yami asked.
"I really appreciate all that you've done for me and for Heba." Atemu said.
"We're family, and family is always there to help each other. I'll always be there for you and Heba just like I know you and Heba will always be there for me and Yugi." Yami said.
"Family always sticks together." Atemu said.
"Dad's motto still is true." Yami said.
"Yeah, and now, we'll be teaching it to our kids." Atemu said.
The time for the ceremony had come.
Atemu was already at the alter with Yami, who was his best man.
When the music started, Heba walked down the aisle and stood between Atemu and Yugi.
Yugi was Heba's best man.
The priest began. "We are gathered here today to join Atemu Sennen and Heba Mutou together in holy matrimony. Atemu, do you take Heba as your husband for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" the priest asked.
"I do." Atemu replied.
"Heba, do you take Atemu as your husband for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" the priest asked.
"I do." Heba said.
"The rings, please?" the priest asked.
Yami and Yugi gave their brothers the wedding bands.
"Atemu, put the ring on Heba's left hand and say 'with this ring, I thee wed'." the priest said.
Atemu put the ring on Heba's left hand and said, "With this ring, I thee wed."
"Heba, put the ring on Atemu's right hand and say 'with this ring, I thee wed." the priest said.
Heba put the ring on Atemu's right hand and said, "With this ring, I thee wed."
"I pronounce you married. You may kiss your husband." the priest said.
Atemu and Heba kissed each other.
"I present to you, for the first time, Atemu and Heba Sennen." the priest said.
Everyone clapped and cheered for them.
After the reception, Atemu and Heba went back to the mansion.
"Well, I guess we have everything." Atemu said.
"You two need to go before you miss your boat." Yami said.
"All right. Bye, Mayella." Heba said.
Atemu took her and said, "Bye, princess." He then kissed her.
"Go!" Yugi and Yami said.
"Okay. We're going. Just take care of her." Heba said.
"We will. Heba, we have your instructions. It's fine. Go." Yugi said.
Atemu handed Mayella to Yugi, and the two left for their honeymoon.
"Finally. I thought they wouldn't make it to their honeymoon." Yami said.
"I know what you mean, Yami. You get to spend a week with your Uncle Yami and Uncle Yugi, Mayella." Yugi said to his niece.
Mayella seemed to smile at that.
"She likes the idea." Yami said.
"Come on, Yami. We should feed her and get her to bed. I am tired, so I will head to bed myself." Yugi said.
"We can't put her in her room." Yami said.
"Yami, Heba and I set up a semi-nursery in the room next to hours. We'll have a baby monitor, so we'll know if she cries." Yugi said.
"Okay. Let's go on upstairs." Yami said.
The two headed upstairs to feed Mayella and put her to bed before they went to bed themselves.
Hope that you liked it.
