Chapter 36

Over the next few weeks Yugi spent his nights at the hospital. He would go to school during the day, come home and spend time with Takara and Akemi and then once they had eaten were getting ready for bed, Riena took over and he headed to the hospital on the days that he didn't have to work. On the days that he did work, he wasn't able to go to the hospital as he got off when visiting hours were over. During the day he tried to be pleasant and attentive during school and with his friends, but sometimes he ended up losing his temper with his friends and his grades started slipping. Joey, and the others tried to help him, but it didn't do much. The teachers and of course the principal knew that Yugi's boyfriend was in the hospital and they offered their support but there was only so much they can do.

"How's he doing tonight?"

Yugi looked up from his seat to see the night nurse, Elizabeth, enter the room. He shrugged.

"The same."

Elizabeth nodded. She checked his monitors like usual and went about the nightly routine of moving his arms and legs so they don't atrophy. Once everything was done, she smiled and patted Yugi on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, honey, he's doing just fine. He should be waking up soon. Just give it time."

"But it's been three weeks!" Yugi screamed.

Elizabeth nodded sadly, "I know, honey, but there's nothing we can do except wait."

"But what if he never wakes up? I can't live without him. How am I supposed to go to school and work and try and take care of two kids?"

"Yugi, calm down. I know Yami's waking up. His vitals and everything else is looking really good. Just trust me."

Elizabeth patted Yugi on the shoulder and then left the room. Yugi moved back closer to Yami's bedside and took his hand. Tears flowed freely out of his eyes but he didn't bother to wipe them away.

"Please, Yami, you gotta wake up. Please. Everyone's waiting to see your smile again and the kids need their daddy. I need you."

Yugi put his head down not letting go of Yami's hand and sobbed. Suddenly Yugi felt a slight twitch in his hand. He lifted his head.

"Yami?" He sniffled.

Nothing.

"Yami, please. If you can hear me, please wake up," Yugi sobbed again. "I can't do this without you. I love you, Yami. Please, don't leave me like this. You promised to marry me. You promised!"

Yugi continued to sob. He didn't notice how Yami was scrunching his eyebrows together. Yami's hand twitched and Yugi looked up.

"Yami?"

Yami's hand continued to twitch and he continued to scrunch up his eyebrows. Yugi lifted a hand to his cheek and gently caressed it.

"Come on Yami, I know you can do it. Open those eyes and let me see those beautiful crimson eyes that I love."

Yami moaned softly and scrunched up his eyebrows again before slowly opening them and blinking furiously trying to focus. Yami had no idea where he was and as he looked around he started to panic. He shot up in his seat clearly afraid.

"Easy, Yami, you're okay. You're in the hospital."

Yami turned to the voice, "Yugi? What am I doing here? What happened?"

"Slow down, I'll explain everything, just lie down and let me call the nurse."

Yugi pushed the call button. Soon Elizabeth walked in and Yugi pointed.

"He woke up."

"Well, welcome back to the land of the living, Yami. How do you feel?"

"Confused. What the hell happened to me?"

"You were in a car accident, Yami," Yugi explained. "You've been in a coma for three weeks."

Yami frowned, "Seriously?" Yugi nodded.

"Well, everything looks good. I'll make a note and have the doctor come check on you in the morning."

"Thanks, Elizabeth."

Elizabeth smiled at Yugi and left the room.

"A coma?" Yami asked sitting up against the pillows. Yugi nodded.

"Yeah, three weeks. I thought you'd never wake up."

Yami smiled, "C'mere, baby."

Yugi scooted closer to Yami on the bed. Yami kissed him deeply and so passionately that it got Yugi hot and horny in mere minutes. Yami gently pulled back after licking Yugi's bottom lip.

"I'm sorry. I'd never leave you, you know that."

Yugi smiled through his tears, "I know. I was just so worried."

Yami smiled. "Why don't you go home and get some rest?" Yugi shook his head.

"No. I never left your bedside when you were in the coma and I'm not gonna leave now."

Yami raised an eyebrow, "Never?"

"Well, I had this system. I would go to school, come home and spend time with the kids, and then come spend the night here on the days I didn't have to work."

"Wow."

"Yeah, and right now I just wanna be held by you. Can I?" Yugi asked.

"C'mere, baby. You never have to ask. Never, baby. I will always hold you and you can always hold me."

Yugi smiled as he scrambled onto the bed and into Yami's arms. Yami wrapped his arms around Yugi's waist and kissed the back of his neck.

"You're so skinny baby," Yami commented.

"Mm, couldn't really eat much and add that to the fact that I'm running around with two little kids, going to school and working, and I'm bound to be skinny."

Yami chuckled lightly as he drifted off to sleep. Yugi shifted and turned around so he was facing Yami. He kissed him lightly on the lips and then drifted off to sleep as well. When Elizabeth came to check on them before her shift ended at 5 in the morning she chuckled lightly to see them in each other's arms.

The next morning while the doctor checked Yami over, Yugi excused himself from the room and dialed Riena and everyone to let them know that Yami had woken up. Joey and Seto agreed to watch the children so Riena could come over to the hospital. The doctor exited the room not too long after and smiled at Yugi.

"He seems to be doing well," Dr. Taylor said. "I would like to keep him overnight once more just to be sure everything is officially in working order."

Yugi just nodded, "I understand."

"He was very lucky. Most coma patients don't come out of it so early. The earliest they come out is six months to a year. Show's how strong he was fighting."

Yugi nodded again eager to be done with the doctor and go back to his boyfriend.

"Although, when he does get home, I want him to take it easy for a couple of weeks. That means he won't be able to return to work just yet. He's not to be doing any heavy lifting; anything above fifty pounds is too heavy and he shouldn't be lifting it. Just make sure he doesn't put a strain on his muscles.

"Understood."

Dr. Taylor nodded and then left Yugi to go check on some of his other patients. Yugi was just about to head inside when he heard his name being called.

"Yugi!"

Yugi turned and saw Riena walking toward him. He waved even though he knew that she saw him.

"How's he doing?" She asked once she reached him. Yugi nodded.

"He's doing okay. Some parts of his memory are a bit sketchy but the doctor had said that's normal, and that he wants to keep him overnight just to make sure everything is working okay."

Riena nodded. They walked into the room to see Yami. Riena burst into tears when she saw her baby. Yami and Yugi both looked at her confused.

"Mom, why are you crying?"

"Happy tears, Yami. Happy tears. I was so worried about you. Of course not more than Yugi but still."

Yami understood and nodded his head. Riena walked over to him and kissed his cheek and he hugged his mother tight. Yugi smiled slightly at the scene before him. He felt a little uneasy like he was intruding on something special. That was until Yami held out his hand and Yugi took it immediately and Yami pulled him close. Hugging Yami tight, Yugi finally felt that everything in the world was gonna be okay again.
