It's short sorry about that but my family is taking me out to eat for my birthday. And I felt that after all that has happened you all deserved to read a nice and peaceful chapter so I hope you enjoy this.

Chapter 28

The next morning Yami woke up to an empty bed and the smell of pancakes. He jumped out of bed and shuffled to the kitchen where Yugi was standing over the stove making pancakes. Takara was eating her eggs. Yami chuckled as he walked over to Takara and kissed her forehead before walking over and kissing the back of Yugi's neck.

"Hey, baby."

"Morning, Yami."

"Pussycat, what are you doing?"

"What does it look like? I'm making breakfast."

"Pussycat, you shouldn't be straining yourself. You need to sit and rest."

Yugi sighed, "Yami, I'm fine. It's not like he's gonna pop outta me soon. As long as I take breaks in between so my back doesn't start hurting, I'll be fine."

"You don't know that, Yugi. Takara came a month early. Besides, I don't want you to be under any stress and you end up having Braxton-Hicks again."

Yugi turned around and kissed Yami on the mouth while Takara giggled in the background, "I love you, Yami. I love that you're concerned, but honestly, I'm okay. I know what my limits are. Seriously though, you weren't this overbearing when I was pregnant with Takara. Is it because she wasn't yours?"

Yami shook his head, "I thought I was plenty over protective."

Yugi just chuckled and turned back to the stove to finish the pancakes. Meanwhile Takara had finished her eggs.

"Dada, done!"

Yami walked over and picked up her plate, "Finished, sweetheart?"

"Yami, can you cut up one of these pancakes and give it to her?"

"Sure," Yami said heading back towards the stove.

Yami took a pancake and cut it into small pieces so it would be easier for Takara to pick up. Yugi had finished the pancakes and placed a plate of the pancakes and eggs on the table. Yami placed Takara's pancake in front of her and she smiled and picked one up popping it into her mouth. While Takara ate her pancakes Yami and Yugi sat down at the table to eat their own breakfast.

After breakfast Yami gave Takara a bath and sat her on the living room floor with her toys. Yugi came out of the bathroom dressed in sweats and a hoodie. Yami chuckled upon seeing him.

"You look like the cuddliest teddy bear."

Yugi chuckled, "Thanks," he said and sat on the couch.

Takara placed her hands on the floor and stuck her little butt out so she could stand and toddled over to her papa. "Papa, bear?"

Yugi and Yami laughed and Yugi sent a glare to his boyfriend, "No sweetie, papa's not a bear. I just look like one."

Takara looked at her papa and then down her belly and then back at his face, "Papa, baby?"

Yugi lifted his hoodie and showed Takara his belly while gently placing her hand on it, "The baby's right here, sweetie."

Takara grinned a huge grin showing her few little teeth and looked at Yami, "Dada, baby."

Yami smiled and nodded, "Yes, honey, that's the baby."

Takara grinned again but suddenly started crying. Both Yugi and Yami looked at each other frowning. Yami got on his knees in front of Takara.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

"I…Dodo! Dodo!"

Yami frowned looking at Yugi, "Dodo?"

Yugi grinned and started to stand from the couch, "I know what she wants," he said and went into the nursery.

Yami was still confused. Until Yugi came out holding a stuffed dog. Yugi handed the dog to Takara.

"Here, Taki, here's Dodo. You left him in your crib this morning."

"When did she get that?"

"Your mother brought that for her the other day."

"I've never seen it."

Yugi chuckled, "Yes you have, you just don't remember. She calls it Dodo because she can't say dog."

Yami nodded as Yugi sat back down on the couch. Takara smiled holding her stuffed dog. She put the dog on her papa's belly.

"Dodo, baby."

"You showing Dodo the baby, sweetie? Does he like it?" Yugi asked.

Takara nodded. And then she walked over to her toys and plopped on the floor with Dodo. She had just settled with her blocks when the doorbell rang. She screamed then giggled. Yami shook his head standing.

"Why does she do that?"

Yugi shrugged, laughing, "I don't know. Apparently she must think it's funny that she scared herself."

Yami shook his head again as he went to the door. He opened the door to find their friends standing there. He opened the door all the way and moved to the side to allow them to enter.

"Unkies! Aunnie!" Takara yelled smiling.

"Hey, Taki, you being a good girl?" Teà asked crouching down and hugging her.

Bakura and Seto ushered their boyfriends on to the couch. Yami looked all three of them and chuckled before turning to Teà.

"How is it that you're the only one not pregnant?"

"Because, Tristan and I decided to wait to have kids. We figured we'll wait to get married first and then worry about kids later."

Tristan sat in one of the chairs while Yami occupied another. "So have you three chosen names for your kids yet?" he asked.

"Bakura and I have chosen Luna for our baby girl."

"Seto and I are still deciding what to name our daughter. He wants it to be unique."

Yugi shook his head, "Yami and I are in the same boat we've come across some really good names for a boy but we just haven't picked one yet."

"Well, you and Joey should pick soon before those babies come out and they don't have names."

"Oh, hush Tristan, they'll be fine."

"Aunnie! Aunnie!" Takara called tapping Teà's cheek trying to get her attention again.

"Yes, sweetie. I'm sorry."

"Aunnie play."

"Okay, honey."

Seto laughed, "I bet she can't wait for that baby to come. She must be eager for someone to play with."

Yugi nodded, "Yami and I play with her, but yes, I know she wants someone else to play with."

The group hung around talking to each other about random things and playing with Takara until it was lunch time. Yami made some sandwiches for everyone and gave Takara some rice and veggies. After lunch Takara looked at Yugi, smiling.

"Papa, A-din."

Yugi nodded, "Sure sweetie, wanna sit with papa?"

Takara nodded and walked over to where Yugi was sitting on the couch. He lifted her up and sat her between his legs. Yami got the movie Aladdin and popped in the player. Then he and the other non pregnant people sat either on the floor or in some chairs. Halfway through the movie Takara conked out. Yami stood and picked her up and walked her into the nursery and laid her in the crib.

He went back in the living room where Ryou and Yugi were helping Seto and Joey decide on a girl's name for their baby. From the way the conversation was going they didn't like anything either of them picked out.

"How about we hold off on the name picking and just enjoy each other's company. It's been a long time since we were able to do that with all that has happened," Yami said.

Yugi grinned at him and that's what they did.
