Morning Sickness
Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh
Kaiba pulled up in front of the Games Shop, didn't even bother to take the keys with him and ran up to the front door. He allowed the anger to surge through him, but not so much as to let it control him. He went to open the door, but it was locked. "Damn." He cursed under his breath, and closed his eyes for a moment. No plan, no protection, and no way in.
"Let me in, you assholes!" He screamed, attempting to knock down the door with his body. He did this continuously until he heard the back door slam, which caused him to sprint to the back door.
Kaiba got there just in time to see two masked men unsuccessfully sneak away. "Hey!" He screamed, they stopped. Slowly they turned around, until one of them started laughing, this annoyed Kaiba greatly. If he had been trying to control his anger before, he would have to try twice as hard now. "You might want to get to your wife, love over revenge." He said with a smirk.
"What did you do to her?" Kaiba growled. "Seto," He replied, that is your first name isn't it? You better hope it is, because that's who she was screaming for." Kaiba was really pissed now, but more guilty than anything. What had been the last thing he said to her before letting her out of the car?
Oh yeah, "And who do you think caused all those problems, Serenity? Me?" He grimaced, what if those were his last words to her while she was alive? Why had he even said them? "Because I'm a terrible person." He thought out loud, "You'll be an even worse person if you don't save her." The man said before turning around and running away, the shorter one followed.
Kaiba watched them run out of sight, trying to breath and steady his thumping heart. Almost instantly he ran into the Games Shop, and started screaming, "Serenity! Joey! Yugi!"
"Upstairs!" He heard someone answer, the voice, Kaiba thought, was Joey's. He raced up the stairs and peeked his head into the first room where Joey was sitting up and bleeding. An unconscious Yugi lay next to him.
"What the hell happened?" Kaiba screamed, rushing to Joey and untying him. "Where is your sister? Why is Yugi unconscious?" Joey shook his head, "Too many questions." He groaned, "Serenity, downstairs." Kaiba nodded and headed back down, leaving a barely-there Joey to deal with Yugi.
Kaiba saw nothing when he first hit the bottom of the stairs, but he the bathroom door was slightly open. There he saw Serenity, bleeding from a nasty-looking gash on her forehead and curled in the fetal position grasping her belly protectively.
"Oh no." He whispered, dropping on his knees beside her limp body and bringing her bleeding forehead on his lap. "Serenity, I'm so sorry, please be okay." That's when the all-powerful, cold-hearted CEO broke down in tears.
At The Hospital
Kaiba sat in the ICU waiting room, along with Mokuba. Yugi had a slight concussion, not enough to have to keep him overnight and Joey had ten stitches and a concussion bad enough to keep him overnight. Serenity was in a drug-induced coma had just received a C-section
The three of them had been rushed to Domino City Hospital about five minutes after Kaiba had gotten to the shop, meaning they hadn't been out for too long.
But Serenity's diagnosis wasn't very good, it wasn't even close to okay. During the time that the kidnappers were at Yugi's, Serenity had gone into stress-induced labour but was unable to give birth to the baby due to her state. A C-section was the only way to get the baby out, and then they would see if the baby was injured by the blows to Serenity's stomach
The baby had been announced healthy and was incubated, but Kaiba couldn't bring himself to see his baby yet, he didn't even know the gender yet! It just wouldn't feel right if he didn't have Serenity with him yet.
Kaiba rewound the moment he watched the kidnappers leave, he had just let them go. Hadn't even tried to stop them, just watched. "Seto, that is your first name isn't it? You better hope it is, because that's who she was screaming for." The words repeated themselves, and he felt like crying once again.
"Seto," Mokuba said, putting a comforting hand on his brother, "Do you want to see the baby? I'm sure Serenity would want you to hold him, at least." Kaiba looked up, "Him?" Mokuba smiled, "It's a boy, and he's beautiful." Kaiba smiled a little, but that smile quickly faded when he saw a doctor walking towards him.
"Mr. Kaiba?" She asked, he nodded and she continued, "Your wife has been stabilized, and she'll live, but there are a few complications." She stopped for a moment as she flipped to a piece of paper on her clip-board. "She has many bruises, but those will heal up, as so will the scars, including the one on her forehead." She kept reading, "Slight concussion, but advanced enough to be kept for a few days, but the biggest issue is her spine."
Kaiba could've sworn he stopped breathing at that moment, he wasn't a doctor but spinal injuries were a bad thing to any extent. "How bad is it?" He asked, the doctor shifted the weight on her feet. A sign of nervousness, as Kaiba observed. "You would think after three years I'd be better at this." She laughed weakly, then she got serious.
"She may never walk again, but there are chances she will with the right physiotherapy and operations. Even with that, it will be in transitions. Wheelchair to crutches to cane and all that. And with the average recuperation time, that will be at least four years."
