Chapter 33
~ONE MONTH LATER~
It's been a month and everyone was waiting for Joey to go into labor. Ryou and Yugi were glad that Joey hadn't gone into labor around the time they did or they'd never be able to go to the hospital. As Yugi was heading to lunch he met up with Joey and Tristan. He chuckled at Joey's waddle even though he knew he was just the same last month.
"You look ready to pop," Yugi said as way of greeting. Joey grinned.
"I can't wait until she's out. I feel like a beached whale."
Tristan and Yugi chuckled, "Ryou and I felt the same way. Hey, where's Teà?"
"Sick."
"Oh. Joey, you okay?" Yugi asked as they sat down.
Joey breathed deeply and slowly, "Yeah, just pain. A lot of it."
Yugi frowned, "You could be in labor. Just your water hasn't broken yet."
That afternoon as school was ending Yugi made Joey sit down as they waited for Seto to pick them up. Suddenly Joey screamed in pain. Yugi looked over to him and saw that his pants were wet. If anybody else had seen that they would've thought Joey had peed on himself but Yugi knew better. Joey's water finally broke.
"Okay, Joey, just deep breaths for me. Seto should be here soon."
Joey nodded and breathed slowly. Suddenly he reached out and gripped Yugi's hand in a death grip as another contraction hit him. Yugi nervously looked up just in time to see Seto's limo pull up. Seto came running in.
"Seto, he needs a hospital. His water just broke and this baby's coming fast."
Seto nodded. He picked up Joey the best he could and the three headed toward the limo. Seto gave the driver instructions to drive to the hospital.
Joey screamed, "Seto! She's coming!"
"I know, pup, hold on."
Joey sat up a little and struggled to remove his wet pants and shook his head, "I gotta push. I gotta push, she's coming."
Seto helped Joey remove his pants but he shook his head, "Do not push, Joey. We'll be there soon."
Yugi pulled out his cell and dialed Yami's number and relayed the whole situation to him. Seto felt the car slow down and knocked on the window.
"What is happening?"
The driver pointed, "Sorry sir, there's a lot of traffic."
"SETO!"
"Shh, pup, it's gonna be okay. Breathe just breathe. Beep the horn or something."
"This is so not happening," Seto muttered. Seto saw Joey start to push, "Whoa! Joey don't push!"
"Gotta. It hurts, gotta Seto."
Yugi who was sitting on Joey's end looked over, "Holy Crap! I can freaking see the head."
Joey pushed and nothing could stop him.
~HALF AN HOUR LATER~
The traffic had finally started moving again and the limo made its way toward the hospital. Yugi was by Joey's legs coaching him as he pushed while Seto held his hand.
"C'mon, Joey, you're almost done. She's almost out; all we need is one strong push."
Joey nodded and panted. When another contraction hit him he pushed with all his might until he heard crying.
"You did it Joey, Eve's finally here."
Yugi found a blanket on the floor (he wasn't asking) and used it to wrap Eve before handing her to Joey. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed Yami and told him what happened. By the time the limo pulled up in front of the hospital Yami, Ryou, and Bakura where there with a wheelchair for Joey and his daughter. They wheeled him into a room where they checked both him and Evangelina out.
After weighing her and cleaning her off properly, Ryou wrapped her into another blanket and handed her back to Joey.
"Congratulations, Joey. She's perfectly healthy. She weighs six pounds, fifteen ounces and is twenty inches long."
Yugi snorted, "Of course, I have the really big baby, Ryou has the really small baby, but Joey's baby is just right. Speaking of which, where are Akemi, Taki, and Luna?"
"My mom's watching them."
"Yami, you're having your mother watch three kids? Two which are month old babies?"
"Mom said it was okay. She said that we should be here for Joey."
Yugi sighed. He looked at Seto and Joey and smiled as the couple cooed over their daughter. As he looked over at his boyfriend and his friends he smiled. They had all overcome the hardship of pregnancy now all they needed was for Teà to get pregnant and their little baby group would be complete.
TBC...
Max: Wow! Joey delivers in the back of a limo. Never saw that coming.
Me: Yeah, I don't know what possessed me to do this but I thought it would be cool.
Max: Don't forget to review.
