Chapter 12

Yugi remained in the hospital with his daughter overnight. Ryou explained that it was just to make sure both the parent and the child was healthy and there were no worries. Yugi woke the next morning and walked down to the nursery to where they were keeping his daughter. When he got to the nursery he tapped on the window. The nurse looked up and he pointed to his daughter. She nodded and picked her up and brought her to the window. He smiled when he saw her. She was wrapped in a pink blanket and that's when he noticed her hair. She was a day old and already she had a head full of hair. Just like Joey's. This thought made Yugi tear up.

"Hey, Yugi. You okay?"

Yugi turned to see Ryou walking his way. He just nodded.

"Yeah, I'm just finally actually seeing her. She's beautiful."

"Yes, she is. Why don't we get you back to your room? Yami's on his way to come and pick the both of you up."

"I'm able to go home?"

"Yes, there are some things that I want to discuss with you and Yami before you leave, though."

Yugi nodded and allowed Ryou to lead him back to his room. Five minutes later a nurse brought his hollering daughter to him.

"Your daughter has got herself a set of lungs, huh?" the nurse chuckled.

Yugi smiled and nodded rocking his daughter. The nurse showed and helped him change her diaper and then he sat in the chair rocking her.

"Its okay, Takara. You are so beautiful. You are my beautiful baby."

"Hey, baby."

Yugi looked to the door with a huge grin on his face, "Yami!"

Yami walked in and placed a kiss on Yugi's lips and then Takara's head. "Ready to head home?"

"God, yes."

Yami chuckled as he gathered Yugi's belongings. Ryou walked into the room.

"Hey, Yami."

"Hey, Ryou, he can leave now, right?"

Ryou nodded, "Yeah but there are a couple things I want to talk to you both about before you leave."

Yugi and Yami both nodded. Yami sat down on the bed.

"I want Yugi to make sure, that he takes his vitamins. They will help him build back all that he lost due to the pregnancy. No strenuous activity for awhile. That means no lifting anything over twenty pounds. Make sure you eat, drink plenty of fluids, and get plenty of rest. This will also help build back his strength, and everything he lost. And, most importantly no sexual activity."

"Really?"

"Yes, Yugi. At least for a little while."

Yugi sighed but nodded. Ryou nodded also and stood.

"Well, you two can get outta here. I'll try to stop by after work."

Yami nodded, "Let's go baby."

Although Yugi protested, he was stuck in a wheelchair holding his daughter as Yami wheeled out of the hospital to the car. He stood out of the chair and opened the back door prepared to sit in the back with Takara when he noticed the car seat. He didn't remembering to buy one.

"Yami, when did you get a car seat?"

"I stopped by on the way over here."

"Thank you," Yugi smiled placing his daughter in the car seat and buckling her up.

Yugi slid in the passenger seat and Yami climbed behind the wheel and started the car. The drive back to the house was silent and when Yami glanced over at Yugi, he noticed that he was sleep. He glanced in the rearview mirror gazing at Takara. He noticed how much she resembled Joey. Yami wasn't really jealous. Not really, it was just hard to see Yugi's baby resemble someone who had hurt him so deeply.

"You'd never hurt daddy, would you, Takara?" Yami smiled. Takara gurgled.

Yami pulled into a space right in front of the house and shook Yugi. Yugi immediately woke up and glanced at Takara fast asleep. Both Yami and Yugi climbed out of the car and Yami went to unlock the door while Yugi picked up Takara. He cuddled his daughter as he walked into the house.

"Why don't you put her in the crib?" Yami said, "And I'll make you something to eat."

Yugi nodded and headed down the hall to the nursery. He gently placed Takara in the crib and turned on the baby monitor. Taking one of the monitors he headed to the kitchen where Yami was busy making sandwiches. He sat down at the table and Yami placed a plate in front of him and took a seat across from him.

"How do you feel?"

"Exhausted, but good. I definitely feel lighter," Yugi joked.

Yami laughed, "True."

"Yeah."

"Baby, what's the matter?"

"Nothing. It's just…I don't know."

Yami got out of his seat and walked over to Yugi and stood him up. He sat down and sat Yugi on his lap.

"Babe, talk to me."

"I don't know, Yami. I feel happy. I mean she's beautiful, but…"

"She reminds you of Joey."

Yugi nodded, "Yeah, and I don't want you to think that I don't love you, because I do, Yami."

"Baby, I understand. Trust me, I do. You love your daughter but you don't wanna be reminded about the pain that you went through."

Yugi nodded and Yami pulled him closer and kissed him. Yugi turned around and wrapped his legs around Yami's waist and deepened the kiss. The two continued to kiss until they couldn't breathe. Yugi then kissed down Yami's neck and began to unbutton his shirt. Yami moaned and gently pushed Yugi back.

"Baby, we can't."

Yugi whined, "Please."

"Baby, you heard Ryou. We can't."

Just then the doorbell rang and the sound woke up Takara who started hollering. Yugi climbed off Yami's lap.

"You get Takara, and I'll get the door."

Yugi headed toward the nursery while Yami headed to the front door. Takara had her hands balled into fists and she hollered shaking her body. Yugi picked her up rocking her gently.

"Shh, sweetheart. It's okay."

He walked out into the living room where he saw Riena and Yami's father sitting on the couch. Riena smiled at him.

"Hi, Yugi. Listen, sorry about that."

"Don't worry about it. Yami, you mind watching her while I use the bathroom?"

"No, babe."

Yugi handed Takara to Yami and headed to the bathroom. Yami turned to his parents.

"What are you doing here?"

"Well, we were out and I wanted to see the baby and Yori just happened to be with me. May I hold her?"

Yami handed Takara over to his mother while his father sneered.

"How could you just accept this, Riena? Our son is gay and his boyfriend had a baby by another man.

Yugi had just walked back into the living room when he heard Riena speak.

"Yori, I agreed to let you come as long as you didn't speak. Yugi is a wonderful boy and Yami loves him. I have accepted that Yami liked guys and I have nothing against it anymore. And if I was you, I would suggest getting to know Yugi before talking bad about that ridiculously charming boy."

Yugi smiled. No one had talked about him like that. He continued to walk into the living room and sat next to Yami.

"I think she likes you," he smiled as Takara started to cry.

Riena chuckled and handed Yugi his daughter. Yugi figured that she was hungry. He lifted his t-shirt and Takara immediately latched onto his nipple.

"What does that feel like?" Reina asked.

"A little weird and uncomfortable, but okay, I guess."

"You're fifteen, right?" Yori asked speaking up.

"Yeah, I'll be sixteen next month."

"Yami's ten years older than you. How does that tend to work? I mean you talked about how Yami loves you, but are you sure? And seeing that you have a baby by someone else? Something tells me that Yami's gonna be done with you real quick."

"That's not true!"

"Easy, baby. Dad, shut up."

"Why? I mean you know it's true."

Riena sighed, "Well, we should go before Yori does more damage. I just thought I'd let you know that I'll be helping you boys out once school starts again."

Yugi finished feeding Takara and placed her on his shoulder to burp her and nodded, "Thanks."

Yami walked his parents out. When he came back Yugi was rocking Takara. He looked up as Yami sat down next to him.

"Baby, you know he's wrong, right?"

Yugi nodded, "Mhm. Yami?"

"Yeah, baby."

"I want Takara to call you daddy."

Yami smiled, "You sure?"

"Yeah."

"Wow. Um, what is she gonna call you?"

"Uh, what about Papa?"

Yami chuckled, "Sounds like you."

TWO MONTHS LATER

Beep…Beep…

Yami groaned and blindly fumbled for his alarm and shut it off. He turned over and shook Yugi awake.

"Baby, it's time to wake up."

Yugi groaned, "Yami, I just fell asleep."

Yami chuckled, "Liar. You fell asleep at three thirty after feeding your daughter. C'mon, babe. We gotta go school today."

"I don't think I'm ready to go back to school."

"Baby, it's been two months. You can't stay home forever. You need to finish school."

Just then there was a knock on the door and Yami knew it was his mother. He swung his legs off the bed and stood up. Shaking his head, he walked to the door and opened it. Riena smiled at her son then averted her eyes.

"Yami! Have you no shame?"

Yami chuckled, "Whassa matter? It's not like I'm opening the door naked."

Riena just chuckled and walked inside the room, "Where's Yugi?"

"Hopefully getting dressed."

Just then Yugi entered dressed in a pair of jeans and blue hoodie. He had Takara in his arms. Yugi had dressed her in a pink onesie and pink skirt.

"Morning, Riena. I was gonna feed her now, but she's still sleep. There are a couple of bottles with my milk when she gets hungry. I already changed her so it might be awhile before she'll need to be changed again."

Riena laughed, "I got it, hon. Yami, you go get dressed so you boys can be off to school."

Yami headed toward the bedroom to get dressed. Riena took the still sleeping girl from her father and sat on the couch with her while Yugi grabbed a granola bar.

"So, has she been sleeping through the night, yet?"

"Sorta. She wakes up at three to get fed every morning and then she usually doesn't wake up again until nine."

"Okay, what about her feeding and napping schedule?"

Yugi frowned, "Um, when she wakes up at nine I usually feed her and don't feed her again until twelve thirty which is when I usually put her down for her nap."

Riena nodded as Yami emerged from the bedroom.

"Ready, Yugi?"

Yugi nodded, "Yeah. Um, if you need anything just call me."

Riena nodded and the boys walked out the door.
