Chapter 6: (In chap. 27, Yugi leaves room to calm their friends down.)
When Isis asked Yugi to head downstairs to calm the others, he quickly left to go do that.
Touching down into the room Yugi instantly saw that Amara and Heba were crying, Aknamkanon and Atemu comforted their mates.
Joey, Ryo, Mana, Mahad and Aknamkanon looked saddened as they all had known Yami for sometime now, Aknamkanon almost half his life five-thousand years ago.
Bakura and Marik sighed since now they would have to find another person to mess with whenever they were board.
Seto also sighed, but for a different reason as that was Bakura and Marik since now they would be constantly bugging him and not leaving him alone when he was working down underground.
Everyone in the room noticed Yugi standing at the bottom of the steps, looking as if he was alright with Yami's death. They all stared at Yugi like they didn't know him anymore.
Sweatdropping Yugi raised a hand in front of himself, trying to stop their thoughts from retching him "Let me explain something's to you all before making the wrong consumption." He said before he began explained himself from after he bolted upstairs to see what happened to his husband.
After five minutes Yugi finished his explanation. Everybody then shouted at Yugi "SAY THAT SOONER!" They all shouted at the same time, including the ones who didn't care all that much.
"Is Yami still awake?" Mana questioned standing up herself.
"He was when I left, so I guess he still is." Yugi responded to Mana's question just before she sprinted up the stairs like Yugi had done earlier to them all. Releasing a breath the others chuckled.
/Hey, Isis said that it is okay for everyone to come up./ Yami said through their link.
\Too late, Mana's already on her way.\ Yugi replied back, signalling that everyone else could go up as well.
Another few minutes passed once the group had gotten into the room. They all had gotten a close look at the twins, Amara had already gotten the privilege to see the twins being born, as Mana was already on the bed going gaga at the cuteness, both children being in Yami's arms since he hadn't had the chance to hold them before almost dying, so when Yugi went downstairs that was the only time to get the chance to hold his children for the first time before everyone came to see him and the twins.
Malik mentioned that they had a lot of hair on their heads, yet this was Yugi and Yami we were talking about here.
Yugi agreed "Atemu and I had about this much hair when we were born, so it's not that surprising." He said, shrugging afterward.
A few more comments of "Good luck keeping weirdo's away from those two when they get older." and "Men won't want to take their eyes off your daughter when she becomes of age."
Seto asked Joey through their own link about if this had been all a dream and if he really was going crazy from some kind of drug experiment.
Joey mentally groaned, telling Seto that this was not a dream and was not under some stupid experiment for drugs. Seto still didn't believe him after that.
"So what are you guys going to name them." Heba asked, wanting to know cause they hadn't said anything about names since before the war started and ended. Now was the right time to reveal what they were.
Amara, Aknamkanon and a couple others agreed with Heba as they also wanted to find out what names those two decided on.
Yugi turned to Yami, Yugi sitting on one of the chairs from the table in the room. The two, three months ago, finally laid down one night and thought of six different names. Two girls names if they had twin girls, two boys names if they had twin boys and then an additional boy and girl name if they had fraternal twins.
Yami agreed, handing the girl over to Yugi who carefully took her into his arms.
Yami started off "This is Zoltan." As he was holding a sleeping Zoltan in his arms "And Avita." Yugi added holding a sleeping Avita.
Isis made a file of papers appear into her hands, opening it up and wrote those two names on a separate piece of paper when the door to the room opened up and someone commenting "Those names suit them well."
Yami's gaze spotted Rose from the door "Rose, where have you been?"
Rose entered the room "I left to go check something after Yugi ran up the stairs to see you, but after almost forty minutes, the thing that I went to go check, corrected itself. Isis, tell Kate that her Emperor's book needs to be looked at and fixed. I'm sick of keeping track of this stuff and being wrong about important things like this." Rose growled, not wanting to shout since Zoltan and Avita were sleeping at that very moment, and that Kate was not in the room to shout at. Rose then bowed her head "Sorry Yami, Yugi, I'll be back in a few days. Right now I need to go release some of this anger." Rose stated.
"It's alright, take care of yourself first." Yugi said and Rose left.
Ryo raised a brow, confused "Yugi, are you feeling okay?"
Blinking "I'm feeling fine, In fact if I was in Rose's shoes right now and had to look for the next Emperor that took six-thousand years and lead by false information, I'd flip out myself. Just give her sometime to herself, she'll be back to her old self in no time." He replied stating the truth.
Everyone agreed on that, deciding to head back to their own homes. Isis was the last one at the door. Just before she left "I'll be here after every couple of days to check up on you and the twins Yami. Like Immor told you, stay in bed and rest some more." Isis said, shutting the door, teleporting back to the healing chambers to get the twins paper work written up.
~Later That Night~
Nightfall had clouded over the entire territory. The rain would not let up from earlier that day, thankfully it was just rain and not thunder.
Yami had been in a deep peaceful sleep for about six hours now. Zoltan and Avita had been changed into a plain white onesie earlier and were placed between the pillows on the bed since Yami wouldn't be walking for a few days. Having the kids nearby when he slept made it easier on Yami when the kids woke during the middle of the night or day.
Yugi though had his thoughts elsewhere even without him realizing it. His mind was off thinking of Yami if he hadn't been revived by the kids, he would have been missing half himself again, just like when Yami got his own body back then. It would have been that feeling yet four times as worse.
The thoughts and images ran through his mind like wild fire as he hadn't realized that he was crying. It was a silent cry, yet not so quiet in his mind.
Taking in a lungful of air, Yami awoke rather abruptly. He had heard some kind of noise through the link.
Yami was sure that he knew who that was from as he had been right. Sitting up Yami retched for Yugi, placing a hand on his shoulder, startling Yugi as he snapped his head towards Yami, the silent tears still streaming down his cheeks.
Looking confused Yami pulled Yugi closer, rubbing circles until Yugi calmed himself down.
"I-I al-most l-lost you a second t-time." Yugi choked out, wrapping his arms tightly around Yami, burying his face deep into his clothes and neck.
Yami hushed him "I know" Placing a hand on the back of his head he ran his fingers through his hair "But I'm still here. I'm not leaving you ever again."
Yugi's whole body shook under Yami's hold, his tears continued to fall as Yugi entered a sobbing fit.
Yami felt something for Yugi since it has been awhile since Yugi has cried like this. Twice in one day, just for him, it was just too much.
"Come on, a King doesn't cry." Yami said in a comforting tone, still rubbing circles on his back and running his hand through his hair.
Yugi still cried for a couple more minutes as he couldn't stop himself once his emotions clouded his mind. Once Yugi calmed himself, Yami lifted Yugi's face up towards his, proceeding to whip the tears away from his strained eyes.
Yugi then sat up straight, almost calmed down, but Yami pushed him down, Yami taking a seat on Yugi's stomach "I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying by your side for as long as you are sitting on that throne. Immor said that this was my last life and the only thing I want to do with this last life if spend it with you and our kids." Yami clarified once again.
Yugi brightened up "I guess my full time job will be keeping my eyes on you from doing stupid things until you learn how to protect yourself and fight. Most of all that third ability that you got from marrying me and the use of your Ancient magic."
Yami smirked, liking the sound of that last sentence, forgetting that he could actually start fighting like Yugi pretty soon.
Yugi pulled Yami down into a chaste kiss, pulling away, Yugi said "I'll be alright now. I just wouldn't know what I would have done if the twins didn't have the right abilities at that very moment." He laid Yami down in his spot from before.
"You'd be miserable without me that is for sure." Yami confirmed before both went back to sleep, knowing that Zoltan and Avita will probably wake them from it soon.
~Four Days Later~
After four days Rose returned to her normal self and was now with Yami in his room. The twins were also in the room, laying on the bed with Rose.
Like Rose had said she had stopped checking in on the Emperor's book as she had given it back to Kate to be looked at and possibly fixed.
At the current time Rose was awing over the kids since she had finally gotten a better look at them then four days ago.
Yami was fixing some milk and blood for the kids at the moment.
Ever since the Palace got remodeled, Yugi and Yami got a small refrigerator in their bedroom for blood storage and or anything else. In this case milk until Yami could walk normally and make it downstairs on his own.
Returning to the bed with two bottles and two droppers of blood, handing one dropper to Rose as she asked if she could feed one of the kids minutes ago.
Yami didn't mind though cause Yugi was in a meeting about something important and it could no longer be held off any longer, so he, the lords and the council members went to go discuss that before the thought left everybodies mind.
"Tell me again why you wanted to feed one of the kids." Yami asked.
Rose took the dropper from Yami, an innocent smile spreading across her lips "I think it is just that I never got the chance to with Yugi when he was this small. Since his father was a hunter, I didn't have a long enough time to stay in the house until he returned, or he was left with Yugi while Senna and Solomon left someplace else." Rose explained dripping the blood into Avita's mouth until it was empty. Avita then woke up, looking around the room and up at Rose, a blank expression on her little face. Rose smiled at her.
Yami clicked his tongue "Not even getting to hold him once." He said unbelieving that she couldn't have done at least that.
Rose's smile faded, going back to normal "I've held him once when I met Senna that day, but feeding I didn't have the change. The same thing happened with Atemu, held him but didn't get to feed." She then pouted from her words.
Yami chuckled setting the second dropper and one of the bottles on the bed. He crawled over to Rose, who was holding Avita right then, as he showed Rose what to do.
Before long Rose got the hang of it while Yami went to go feed Zoltan, who soon woke up after the intake of blood, also looking around the room. Once he spotted Yami he began wiggling in happiness, wanting to be picked up.
He smirked picking Zoltan up into his arms and began to feed him.
It didn't take long for another two people to join them, those two being Coco and Joshua as they have yet to see the twins themselves.
Coco entered the room after a knock, scanning the room until she spotted Rose "There you a-" Coco stopped, hand clasped over her mouth before a big grin spread across her lips "Oh I see, getting Rose trained a bit early aren't we. Does this mean that we'll be expecting another wedding soon?" Coco questioned.
Joshua had just shut the bedroom door when he heard Coco say that. His face then lit up like a Christmas tree "Coco, stop saying stuff like that, though we have planned the wedding part." He stated, sending Coco into a fit of questions.
Rose shook her head "I'll be about three months from now, but children can wait for the time being. At least for a few years." Rose replied to a few of Coco's questions.
Yami became curious "Why do you want to wait. You obviously love wanting to get to feed these two."
She nodded "We just don't want the talk of these two to die down just yet. Until you two show off the twin in town in another month then the people won't be stopping their talk about them for quite some time."
Coco agreed "Will most likely be the case. Don't worry, as soon as the talk about the Prince and Princess settle down, these two will try having kids of their own."
Yami then understood and soon enough Coco was sitting on their bed awing over the kids just like Rose had been doing before.
Zoltan and Avita then finished their bottles, both Yami and Rose giving the both of them a little pat on their backs before laying them back on the bed so Coco and Joshua could get a better view of them until Yugi returned from the meeting.
