Chapter 49- Baby

~Six Months Later~

Yugi, Yami, Atemu, and Heba had all moved back to Domino.

Yami and Heba both had passed their exams and had started their residency at Domino General Hospital.

Atemu had passed his bar and was now starting to practice law with a law firm who recognized Atemu's potential as a lawyer.

Ryou, Yugi, Malik, Jou, and Heba were now thinking about something very serious.


"What do you guys think?" Yugi asked.

"In all honesty, I think that it's the best idea we've got. I mean, we all have new lives and new careers, so it makes sense." Ryou said.

"I wouldn't mind it at all. I'd like it." Jou remarked.

"Sounds good to me." Malik said.

"I'm with them." Heba said.

"Then it's agreed. After I have my baby, we'll have one final tour of Hikari and Aibou. The Farewell Tour." Yugi said.

"Yeah. You know that Touma is going to wan it to go for a while and go to a lot of the cities." Ryou said.

"I know. I think it's time that we put the band to rest. I mean, we went six years strong, and we came out with the last CD a few weeks ago. I think it's about time that we call it quits." Yugi said.

"Yep. Hikari and Aibou won't be around much longer." Jou said.

"Well, we'll probably still be famous, but I think that you're right. We need to end this and go on to something new." Ryou said.

"Well, we had better let Touma know all of this and soon." Heba said.

"Think that he'll care?" Malik asked.

"No. In fact, he might be glad." Yugi said.


"So, you're calling it quits." Touma said.

The five nodded.

All six were sitting in the living room of their old home with Touma.

"We just think that we've done all we can do. Besides, we all have new lives and new careers. It was great being a band like that, but we just feel that we need to call it quits for good." Yugi said.

"I understand. I like the idea of a farewell tour, though. I'll start planning it now." Touma said.

"Just make sure it's after I have this baby." Yugi said.

"I will, Yugi. You don't have to worry about that." Touma assured his younger cousin.

"Do you mind?" Ryou asked.

"Of course not. Truthfully, I thought it was time to wrap it up. You all did great while you did it, but I think that you all need to experience different things in your lives. Besides, I like being home and spending time with my family." Touma said.

"Then I guess we're going to be doing one last singing tour." Heba said.

"I'll start setting it up." Touma said.


"So, one lat tour, huh?" Yami asked.

"Yeah. We figure that we had better do at least one last tour for the fans. After that, we're done, though." Yugi said.

"In all honesty, I don't think that people will be forgetting you guys that fast." Atemu said.

"Maybe not, but we will be retiring from singing." Heba said.

"One thing s certain. You'll have quite the legacy." Yami said.

"We might, but we don't care." Yugi said.

"Yeah. We're just glad to have done it. Not many people get to do what we did." Heba said.

"When will the tour be?" Atemu asked.

"After this baby comes." Yugi said.

"Yeah. We're going to wait a while for that." Heba agreed.

"The best thing would be to end the band. I mean, you all have gotten settled into this quiet life." Yami said.

"We know, and I don't mind it one bit. Living a quieter life will be better opposed to still doing music and having screaming fans swarming us all the time." Yugi said.

"I don't think that will be a problem." Atemu said.

"Yeah. We'll keep all of those fans away." Yami added.

"Yeah. We don't doubt that for a second." Yugi said.


~Three Months Later~

Yugi was lying on the couch in his and Yami's living room reading a book.

The front door opened, and Ryou called in, "Yugi, are you here?"

"In the living room." Yugi replied.

Ryou walked in with Kyle. "Hey, Yugi. How are you doing?" Ryou asked.

"Besides the fact that my feet and back are killing me, and Yami's acting like a mother hen, I'm fine." Yugi said.

Ryou laughed. "I know your pain. I felt that way at the end of my pregnancy with Kyle. I also had Bakura as a mother hen." Ryou said.

"I find it hard to believe that Bakura would be doting over you every second." Yugi said.

Ryou set Kyle down to play as he sat down in an armchair. "He had to be the worst. I couldn't make a single move without Bakura on me asking if I was okay, asking if I needed anything, and so on. I was two seconds from strangling him when I went into labor. Never have I ever been so glad to have labor pains. It got me out of murder." Ryou said.

Yugi laughed. "Well, Yami's not to the point that I want to kill him, but he's getting there. He's really concerned, and he calls me all the time. He wants to make sure that I'm okay." Yugi said.

"Well, you're due net week, right?" Ryou asked.

"Yeah." Yugi replied.

"That baby will be coming any time then." Ryou said.

"I know that. Yami got worse when the doctor told us that one." Yugi said.

"Enjoy it, Yugi. Once that baby comes, all the attention goes from you to the baby." Ryou said.

"Well, that's just the way that things are." Yugi said.

"I know." Ryou said.

"Why are you here anyway?" Yugi asked.

"Don't worry. Yami didn't send me. I was off today, and I was bored." Ryou said.

"So you come to sit with a fat, pregnant man." Yugi said.

Ryou laughed. "Yugi, you won't be that fat once the baby comes. Don't worry about it." Ryou said.

Yugi smiled. "I just wish that Yami would calm down every once in a while. It gets rather annoying." Yugi said.

"Don't worry about it." Ryou said.

The two talked for a while.

"Well, I'd better get going. I know that Bakura would want dinner ready when he gets home." Ryou said. He started to leave.

Yugi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach and something wet run down his legs. "Oh, god! Ryou!" Yugi shouted.

Ryou jumped and ran back into the room with Kyle. "What is it?! What's wrong?!" Ryou asked urgently.

"Ryou, I think that my water just broke." Yugi said.

"WHAT?!" Ryou exclaimed.

Yugi nodded.

"Okay. Do you have a bag packed?" Ryou asked.

"Hall closet." Yugi replied.

Ryou went and got it. "Come on. I'll take you to the hospital." Ryou said.

Yugi nodded and got up.

Ryou helped him out to his car and put Kyle in his car seat and Yugi in the front passenger seat before heading to the hospital.


Yami had been startled when he got the phone call from Yugi that his water had broken and that Ryou was bringing him to the hospital. He was thankful that Ryou was there when it happened.

Yami was currently pacing at the entrance to the hospital ER.

Heba was there, too, and rolled his eyes. "Yami, don't have a heart attack. Yugi is going to be fine." Heba said.

"That's easy for you to say." Yami said.

Heba was now three months pregnant, so he and Atemu were rather excited.

"Take it easy. They'll be here soon, and then you can get Yugi inside." Heba told him.

Yami nodded distractedly.

Heba rolled his eyes. 'I wonder if Atemu is going to be like this.' Heba though, a little annoyed although he was worried about his brother as well.

Soon, Ryou arrived with Yugi.

Yami immediately went to his husband and helped him inside.

"Worried?" Ryou asked.

"Me. No." Heba said as Ryou got Kyle out.

"I meant Yami." Ryou clarified.

"He's a wreck." Heba answered.

Ryou giggled. "Bakura was, too. I wonder how Yami will take being in the delivery room with him." Ryou said.

"He might be fine. I don't know yet." Heba said as they went in.


After five hours of labor, Yugi finally had the baby, a boy.

"Well, it looks like we have another man around the house." Yami said as he sat beside Yugi on the hospital bed.

The baby had crimson eyes and Yugi's soft features as well as the star-shaped hair with no lightening bolt streaks.

"So, are we going with our original idea for a name?" Yugi asked

"Yeah. I think that Taylor is a great name for him." Yami replied.

"So do I." Yugi agreed.

It wasn't long before the friends and family came to see them.

"He's so cute." Ryou said.

Bakura rolled his eyes. "Great. Another runt." Bakura muttered.

"Watch it, Bakura!" Yami snapped.

"Calm down. It doesn't matter, Yami." Yugi said.

"What did you decide to name the little tyke?" Jou asked.

"We're calling him Taylor." Yugi answered.

"That's a great name." Malik said.

"Well, we've probably got ourselves another guy who's going to have the ladies all over him." Seto said.

"Let's hope better ones than the ones that went after us." Atemu remarked.

"I'm sure that we won't have a problem with that." Heba said.

"But we'll teach him how to deal with girls like that." Marik said.

"The other boys, too." Bakura said.

"And we'll make sure the girls don't end up like that." Yugi said.


~Six Months Later~

"I am tired of being pregnant!" Heba groaned as he lay on the couch.

Yugi sat in an armchair, feeling Taylor. "Heba, the baby will be here before you know it. Enjoy the peace because you have none once the baby is born." Yugi said.

"I know that, Yugi, but it is just so tiring." Heba said.

"And you hate missing work." Yugi said.

"Yeah. I do." Heba admitted. He sighed and said, "But that doesn't mean that I don't love this baby."

"I know that, Heba. I don't blame you. You'll be back at work with a baby soon." Yugi said.

"I hope so. I really want see the baby already." Heba said.

"I'm sure that Atemu is, too." Yugi said.

"Yeah, but he's be acting like-" Heba started.

"A mother hen." Yugi finished.

"Yeah. How did you know?" Heba asked

'Simple. Yami was the same way, and I know from talking to Ryou, Malik, and Jou that Bakura, Marik, and Seto were all mother hens, too. It just comes with the territory." Yugi said.

"Oh. I guess that I have to deal with it then." Heba said.

"Pretty much." Yugi agreed.

Heba sighed. "I just hope that it ends soon. I would like to be able to see my feet again." Heba said.

Yugi laughed. "Everyone thinks that after a certain point." Yugi said.


It happened late at night.

Heba was woken up by the fact that his water broke. He quickly got Atemu up, who took Heba to the hospital.

They called their friends and family, who came to the hospital.


"Heba was getting angst because he wanted the baby come. He got his wish." Yugi said.

"He probably didn't want it to happen during the middle of the night." Yami remarked.

"Well, that's when it happened, so they're out of luck there." Ryou said.

"We had to come to the hospital in the middle of the night." Seto said, glaring at Jou.

"What? I thought I was in labor." Jou said.

"In his defense, people do have false labor, Seto." Touma said.

"I know." Seto said.


After six hours of labor, Heba finally gave birth to a healthy baby girl.

"Well, I would say that you did well." Atemu said.

"Thanks, and now we have our little girl." Heba said.

"Yeah. We do." Atemu agreed.

The baby had amethyst eyes with sharp features and tri-color hair.

"So, are we sticking with the name Angela for her?" Atemu asked.

"Yeah. I think that Angela is a great name for her." Heba said.

"I couldn't agree more." Atemu agreed.

It wasn't long before their friends and family came in.

"Well, we have another beauty in our midst." Yami said.

"Yeah. We're going to have to protect her and Rika from the guys." Malik said.

"Don't worry. We'll teach the boys to protect them." Marik said.

"Yeah. I think that they can handle that much for us." Bakura agreed.

"What is it with you guys and fighting?" Heba asked.

"I agree." Atemu said.

Heba shook his head. "Well, I guess there's nothing we can do." Heba said.

"We just go with it." Yugi said.


~Two Years Later~

Yugi, Heba, Ryou, Malik, Jou, and Touma all got off the place, thoroughly exhausted.

"I am glad that that is over now." Jou said.

There were murmurs of agreement.

The group was finally home after six months on their finally tour. It had been a long and grueling tour with many screaming and heartbroken fans.

A year after Heba had Angela, the band had announced that that would have a farewell tour before they retired from the music business.

It had been a heartbreak for many fans.

The group had come out with one last CD, which was just a greatest hits CD with some of their best and most popular songs.

"I think that everyone enjoyed the farewell tour, though." Yugi said.

"Yeah. It was fun to do it one last time, but I think that I'm ready to just go home." Ryou said.

"Well, I have a teenage son to deal with as well as a near teenage daughter. Believe me. You guys have it easy." Touma said.

"Yeah. I guess we do have it pretty easy." Heba admitted.

Yami, Atemu, Seto, Marik, Bakura, and Seiji had all come to the airport to pick up their husbands. Yami, Atemu, Marik, Bakura, and Seto had the kids with them.

"So, how did it go?" Seiji asked.

"Great. Every concert went off great, although I think that the fans weren't too happy that we were leaving." Heba said.

"Well, you guys have lives that you need to get back to.' Atemu said.

"We know, and we're glad that it's over." Ryou said.

"If your interested in knowing, since you're announcement that you were leaving the music business, sells of anything dealing with Hikari and Aibou had quadrupled." Seto said.

"Geez. That much." Jou said.

"Yeah. A retiring band is something that ups sells." Seto said.

"That, and dead artists, although we hope that won't be happening any time." Seiji said.

"I think that we're hoping that." Yugi said.

"Well, you're all home, so let's get home." Bakura said.

"Cool your jets, Bakura." Ryou said.

The group gathered all of their luggage before they headed off to the cars that were in the parking lot.

Each couple headed to their own home, thankful to finally be heading home.

The group had enjoyed their time as Hikari and Aibou, but they were glad to move on with their new lives, rather happy with the new kind of family life that they had.


Hope you liked. I know. More time skips. Sorry.

Next: A high school reunion.
