I would like to thank everyone who gave me names for the baby. I would especially like to thank YamiMicaelaChevron for the name Akemi and Hiei Dragon Girl for the name Luce.
I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 29
After their friends left Yugi walked into the nursery. He grinned at seeing the other crib in there. He walked over and sat in the rocker and put his hand on his belly smiling.
"I can't believe you're gonna be here soon. You're papa and daddy and sister are all excited to meet you little one. You are so loved, you know that?"
Takara toddled into the nursery and saw her papa sitting in the rocker. She smiled and toddled up to him. Yugi smiled and picked her up.
"Hey princess, wanna sit with papa?"
"Papa, baby?"
"You wanna feel the baby?"
Yugi took Takara's tiny hand and placed it on his belly. Takara grinned.
"You feel the baby, sweetheart? Can you say hi to your little brother?"
Takara took her hand off and waved at Yugi's stomach. Yugi cracked up laughing. Takara smiled and bent down and kissed Yugi's belly.
"Papa, baby kiss."
"I saw you gave the baby a kiss. He really liked that."
Yami walked into the nursery to find Yugi and Takara sitting in the rocker. He smiled.
"Hey."
"Dada! Baby kiss," Takara giggled. Yami looked to Yugi for interpretation.
Yugi chuckled, "She gave the baby a kiss."
Yami smiled and nodded, "Oh, okay."
Yami left the two to use the bathroom. Once Yami left Yugi started crying and Takara got worried.
"Papa?"
Yugi wiped his eyes, "I'm okay, sweetheart."
Takara shook her head and wiggled to get down. Yugi set Takara on the floor and she toddled as fast as her little legs would let her go out of the room.
"Dada! Dada!"
She stopped at the bathroom and placed a hand on the door, "Dada!"
"One second, Taki, daddy's in the bathroom," Yami called from behind the door.
Takara started crying and hit the door, "Dada."
Yami finished up in the bathroom and after washing his hands he opened the door to find Takara standing in front of the door with tears in her eyes and looking scared. Yami crouched down.
"Sweetie, what's wrong?"
"Dada, papa cy."
Yami looked confused, "What?"
"Papa cy, cy, dada."
Yami stared at Takara for a second trying to figure out what she was saying. Takara took Yami's hand and placed it on her tears, "Papa cy!"
"Oh! Papa's crying?"
Takara nodded happy that her daddy got it. Yami stood and picked up Takara and kissed her forehead.
"Let's go see what's wrong with Papa, okay?"
Yami walked back into the nursery and found Yugi rocking in the rocker with tears running down his face.
"Papa!"
Yugi looked up and saw Yami and Takara standing there. He chuckled, "She told you I was crying?"
Yami nodded and set Takara down as he walked over to Yugi, "Yeah, she was worried. What's wrong, baby?"
"Nothing. Everything. I don't know."
"Talk to me, babe. What's going on?"
Yugi sighed, "I'm excited, the closer it gets to my due date I get excited, but then I get worried. I'm afraid that something's gonna happen to the baby."
"Baby, nothing's gonna happen."
Yugi shook his head, "You don't know that. So much has happened already that you never know what could happen next."
Just as Yami was gonna say something the doorbell rang. Takara screamed and giggled as she looked at her papa and daddy. Yami chuckled as he went to answer the door.
"You're so silly."
He left the nursery to go answer the door and found his mother standing outside. He stood aside to allow his mother inside.
"Hey, mom. What brings you by?"
"I was out and I thought I'd stop by and see how you guys were doing. I also bought Taki a new toy."
"Is it another stuffed animal?" Yami asked taking his mother's coat.
"What's wrong with stuffed animals? Where's Taki and Yugi?"
"In the nursery."
Riena followed her son to the nursery. When Takara saw her nana her face lit up and she stood up carefully before trying to run to her.
"Nana!"
"Oh, how's my precious? Nana bought you a present."
Takara giggled and held out her hand. Yugi chuckled.
"Taki, say please."
"Puh, puh-ee?"
Reina chuckled, "Sure honey," and she handed her a stuffed cat.
Takara smiled and showed her daddy, "Dada!"
"I see honey, nana gave you a kitten."
"Kit."
"Good job, Taki."
Riena walked over to Yugi and placed a gentle hand on his belly, "How are you two doing today, Yugi?"
"Fine, I'm just a little tired, but it's normal."
"Nana!"
"Yes, baby?"
"Baby kiss."
"Huh?"
Yami chuckled, "She's telling you that she kissed the baby."
"Oh. So have you two decided on a name yet?"
Yami shook his head. They've been having trouble coming up with a good solid name for the baby. Every name they chose didn't seem good enough and didn't sound strong enough.
"Akemi."
Yami and Riena turned, "What?"
"His name is Akemi. It means Beauty of Dawn."
"That's a good strong name. Is he gonna have a middle name like Takara?"
"If Yami wants him to have one, then yes."
Yami nodded, "I think he should but I'll have to think about it. It needs to be a strong one to match Akemi."
Both Yugi and Riena nodded. Riena smiled at Takara playing with her toys on the floor.
"Hey, Taki, wanna help nana make dinner?"
Takara smiled and clapped before setting her two hands on the floor and pushed her butt in the air to stand. Riena held out her hand and Takara took it and they headed into the kitchen to start on dinner. Yami went over to Yugi and kissed his forehead.
"You okay?"
"Mhm. I'm just gonna rest here a bit, okay?"
Yami nodded. He went into the bedroom and pulled out his laptop to start searching for names. Just as he was really getting into the names and weighing each one, the telephone rang and he reached over to pick it up.
"Hello?"
"Yami, its Seto."
"Hey, what's up?"
"We've finally did it. We've come up with a name."
"That's great so did we, well partly anyway. So what did you choose?"
"Evangelina Rose Kaiba-Wheeler."
"Wow. That's a mouthful," Yami chuckled as he looked at the website stopping when he found the perfect name.
"Yeah, that's why we're gonna call her Eve for short. What about you and Yugi. What name did you choose?"
"Akemi Luce. Akemi means beauty of dawn and Luce means light. I have to talk with Yugi and see what last name we're gonna use for him."
"That's good. Y'know, this is really exciting. I never imagined myself a father but it's actually happening."
"Yup."
Yami and Seto talked a bit more and then they hung up. Yami turned off the laptop and headed into the kitchen. He found Takara covered head to toe in flour. Yami couldn't help laughing out loud. Takara looked up and grinned.
"Dada, peeuh."
Yami looked over to his mother who chuckled.
"We're making pizza."
"Oh. Having fun, sweetie?"
Takara giggled as she hit the dough and nodded. Yami shook his head and headed into the nursery to check on Yugi. Yugi was in the chair with his eyes closed and rocking back and forth with his hand over his belly.
"Hey, I think I found out what he middle name should be," Yami said walking closer.
Yugi opened his eyes and smiled, "What did you decide?"
"Luce. It's Italian but it means light."
Yugi nodded and rubbed his belly, "Akemi Luce Sennen. A strong name for a strong boy."
"Y-you want his last name to be Sennen?"
"Why not? He is your son after all. Besides, Takara has my last name so it's only fair."
Yami nodded, "Wow. Oh, I just talked to Seto. He and Joey finally decided on a name for their daughter."
"Really? What did they choose?"
"Evangelina Rose Kaiba-Wheeler, Eve for short."
"Wow."
"Yeah. Oh, Taki's helping mom to make pizza. She looks like somebody dumped into a vat of flour."
Yugi burst out laughing. Just then Takara and Riena walked in the room and Yugi cracked up even more.
"Papa, me peeuh."
Yami and Yugi couldn't help laughing, "You helped to make pizza sweetie?" Yugi asked. Takara nodded.
"I think this little girl needs a bath and a nice change," Riena smiled.
Yugi started to get up but Yami stopped him.
"Babe, it's okay."
"No, I got it Yami. Come on sweetie; let's go get clean for dinner."
Yugi took Takara's hand and walked her into the bathroom and drew her a bath. By the time they were finished, Takara was clean and dry while Yugi was soaking wet. Yami chuckled as he took Takara into the living room while Yugi changed his shirt. Once everyone was dry and dressed they all sat down to eat.
