Chapter 10
A couple of days later Yugi was resting at home while Yami was at work. He was watching an episode on the television when he actually fully realized that he and Yami had been together for five months. He remembered what happened to him and Joey after five months and he started to cry. He didn't want Yami to leave. But what if Joey was right? What if Yami's starting to get bored with me? I don't want to lose him. He was trying to control his crying when the doorbell rang. He wiped his eyes and waddled over to answer it. He opened the door to see Yami's mother standing there.
"Hi, Mrs. Sennen. Um, Yami's not here."
"That's fine. I came here to talk to you, if that's alright."
Yugi moved out of the way so Yami's mother can enter. He went and sat down on the couch.
"What do you want? Come to insult me some more?"
Riena chuckled, "I guess I deserved that. No, I came to apologize. I had no right to call you those names."
Yugi shook his head, "I had a boyfriend who is responsible for this baby. When I met Yami I was already one month pregnant even though I didn't know it yet. I love Yami no matter what you or your husband may think and he loves me. I would never cheat on him. I am a faithful boyfriend. Even with my last boyfriend he accused me of cheating on him but that was a lie. I don't cheat."
"I understand, and I was wrong to accuse you of cheating without getting the full story."
"Yes, you were."
"Yami had told me that I wasn't allowed to come around until I could accept his boyfriend. I was shocked at first, but after doing a lot of thinking, I realized that I was wrong. And when Yori told me that he quit his job because of you, I realized that he must really love you. Even if you are kinda young for him."
"Yami didn't quit his job because of me. He quit because he was tired of dealing with his dad," Yugi said and then suddenly started crying.
"What's the matter?" Riena asked.
Yugi wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, "I am worried that Yami is becoming bored with me. My last boyfriend broke up with me after being with me for five months and I don't want to lose Yami."
Riena chuckled and pulled Yugi into her embrace, "Yugi, Yami loves you. I can tell. He cares deeply for you. I don't think he would leave you anytime soon."
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely. No one who goes against his parents for his boyfriend would break up with you anytime soon. I promise."
"Okay."
"So, tell me how have you been feeling? Did you find out what you're having?"
"I've been feeling okay. Just a bit more tired than usual. And I found out that I'm having a girl."
"Congratulations. Have you come up with names for your baby?"
Yugi shook his head, "Not yet," he said as the phone rang.
He started to push himself off the couch when Riena stopped him, "Stay put, I'll get it."
Yugi took a minute but he was able to stand up, "No, its okay. I'll answer it."
He waddled over to the phone and picked it up, "Hello?"
"Hey, baby."
Yugi smiled, "Hey, Yami, whatchu doing?"
"Nothing, just on my break and I was thinking about you. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, m'good."
"That's good. Did you eat today?"
"Yami," Yugi groaned, "Yes."
Yami chuckled, "Okay babe. Whatchu doing?"
"Well I was sitting on the couch talking to your mother when you called."
"My mom?"
"Yeah. She came over to apologize to me. We had a nice chat. You wanna talk to her?"
"Sure, put her on the phone and you go sit."
Yugi groaned, "Yami, m'fine."
"You shouldn't be standing more than necessary."
Yugi just groaned and handed Riena the phone and sat on the couch like Yami asked. After several minutes Riena hung up the phone. She turned to talk to Yugi and chuckled when she saw him dozing. She shook him.
"Yugi?"
"Hmm?"
"Why don't you go lay down. You'll be more comfortable."
"Can't. Gotta start dinner soon."
"Yugi, you're obviously tired. I'm here and can start dinner. You need to take a nap. Go ahead.
"Fine."
Yugi got off the couch and headed to the bedroom. He stripped down to a t-shirt and his boxers and climbed in between the sheets.
"Yami, please don't leave me."
"I can't do this anymore, Yugi. I was wrong when I said that I loved you."
"Please, Yami. Can't we make this work?"
"Are you kidding me? You're having someone else's baby."
Yugi saw Yami walk away, "Nooooooooooooo!
"Yugi, wake up!" Yami said shaking Yugi.
Yugi bolted to a sitting position. He looked around confused and then he saw Yami, "Yami?"
"Hey, baby. You okay?"
Yugi scrambled into Yami's lap and buried his head into his chest, "Please, please, Yami."
"Please what, Yugi?"
"Don't leave me."
"Don't worry, Yugi. I'm not going anywhere. It was just a bad dream."
"Promise?"
"Promise, baby."
Yami's mother knocked on the door and peeked inside, "Just thought I'd let you boys know that dinner is ready."
Yami looked up and nodded, "Thanks, mom. We'll be right there."
Riena nodded and shut the door behind her. Yugi slid off Yami's lap and picked up his pants and got dressed. Then the two of them headed to the kitchen where Riena was putting a salad on the table. The three sat together and began to eat and chat.
"So, I think Alana is a nice name for a girl," Riena smiled.
"Yeah, I guess it's alright. What do you think, Yugi?"
Yugi shrugged, "I dunno. I was kinda thinking more on the lines of Amara."
"That's also very pretty, Yugi."
Yugi nodded and gasped then rubbed his belly. Yami noticed this.
"She's kicking again?"
Yugi nodded, "Guess its play time."
"Ooh, you have to have a baby shower."
Yami groaned, "Mom…"
"What? I think it would be nice. This way you won't have to buy a lot of things. Have you decided where you're gonna put the baby?"
Yami nodded, "Yeah, we're gonna use the room Yugi used when he first came here as a nursery."
Yugi dropped his fork and yelped, "Yami, I think something's wrong."
Yami jumped out of his chair and knelt down next to Yugi, "What's wrong, baby?"
"I don't…hurts…Yami!"
Yami rubbed Yugi's arms, "Easy, baby. Breathe."
"It hurts."
"Yugi, can you tell me what it feels like?" Riena asked.
"Pain. Like the baby's kicking really hard to get out. Yami!"
Yami looked at his mother, "We need to get him to the hospital. I'm gonna have to call Ryou and have him meet us." Yami turned back to Yugi, "Baby, can you walk?"
Yugi shook his head tears falling down his face. Yami picked him up and carried him to the car. Riena turned to Yami.
"Honey, why don't you let me drive so you can sit in the back with Yugi?"
Yami nodded and handed his mother the keys. After situating Yugi in the back, he got in next to him. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed Ryou and told him what was happening. Ryou agreed to be at the hospital waiting for them. Riena sped toward the hospital and they made it there in twenty minutes. Ryou was waiting for them like promised and they rushed him in to a room.
"He's gonna be alright, Yami," Ryou explained.
"Ryou, what happened?"
"Braxton-Hicks. They're like false contractions. It's a way for the body to prepare for what's going to happen. Normally, they are just a discomfort to the parent but the baby is fine."
"Ryou he was terrified that he was gonna lose the baby."
Ryou shook his head, "No, she's perfectly fine."
Riena spoke up, "But I thought that Braxton-Hicks don't usually show up until the eighth month?"
Ryou nodded, "Usually, that is true. Having the Braxton-Hicks this early can only mean that Yugi's gonna end up having the baby early."
"How early?"
Ryou shrugged, "It can range from a couple of weeks to a month."
"Is there anything I should do or be aware of?"
"Just make sure to keep his stress level down and he lays off salty and/or sugary food. Make sure he takes frequent breaks and isn't on his feet for more than ten minutes."
Yami nodded and the three of them headed toward the room that Yugi was in.
