A/N: ;.; Sorry I made you all wait over a month! I’ve been trying to cram my school in these final weeks. I want to graduate this semester! But, since I’m leaving tomorrow-- er, later today, to go to my grandparents for Thanksgiving, I decided to at least put up a little treat for you all.
And, I don’t normally ask for reviews, but please do now! My birthday is on Thanksgiving and I consider your reviews to be presents *^-^* Even if all you say is ‘I liked it’. Pweety pwease? *chibi eyes*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yugi had a blood test in order to confirm the results and, indeed, he was finally with child. Now that they finally succeeded in creating a new life, he and Yami were nervous of the changes that were going to happen. They both knew they had to start making preparations for the arrival of their newest addition to the family.
At first, Yugi was slightly unsure of letting anyone else know since he read about the risk of possible miscarriages during these early stages. Yami helped reassure his precious light and ease his fears. They decided to start small until they were positive everything would be fine.
Joey, of course, was the first to know among their circle of friends since they were going to seek his guidance throughout the coming months. The blond was absolutely ecstatic at the news and congratulated his dearest friends over and over. He even scooped up the small duelist into a joyful embrace that lifted Yugi right off his feet.
From Joey's recommendations, the couple chose Dr. Kokoro as their obstetrician and would take childbirth classes from Sasara Tsuki. Joey and Asuka went with them on their introductory visit to Dr. Kokoro's office and the she was happy to see the taller man again. They explained that they wanted to have the same confidentiality that Joey had when he and Seto were expecting. The last thing Yugi needed was the stress if too much word got out.
Yugi had an initial exam while he was there to make sure he was in good health to be carrying a child. His results were very positive. They took the opportunity while they were there to ask some questions and voice a few of their concerns since this was their first pregnancy. Dr. Kokoro helped alleviate many of their fears and help them understand more of what was happening.
Little Asuka stayed fairly quiet, but she finally decided to start asking questions herself. She looked up from where she sat on her Daddy's lap and gently tugged his shirt.
"Where do babies come fwom, Daddy?"
Joey sweatdropped nervously, "Well, uh.. they come from inside a mommy's tummy, pumpkin."
"... How do dey get dere?.."
"Uh.. Well, um.. When mommies an' daddies want ta have a baby,.. they.. do somethin' special together so they can.. An' da baby stays inside da mommy's tummy where it grows until it's ready ta be born," he tried to explain. He even borrowed his daughter's stuffed toy as a sort of visual aid as he stuck it under his shirt and pulled it out again.
The little girl was intrigued by this all, "What's da spesial t'ing dey do?"
By now, Joey was already mortified. Damn his and Seto's genes for producing such an astute, persistent child!.. He was not going to start explaining the concept of 'sex' to his four-year-old daughter.
"Uh.. well.. It's just somethin' that mommies an' daddies do when they're in love.. An' Papa's goin' ta tell ya da same thing...." He added to himself, 'An' Mokuba better not say anythin' either!'
"... How does da baby get ouwda da mommy's tummy?"
"Er, da mommy does a special thing ta get da baby out.." He leapt when he saw Asuka starting to open her little mouth to ask about that 'special thing', "It's just somethin' that mommies can do!"
All seemed well for a few moments while she processed this new information. Nevertheless, the inevitable came.
".. Mommies are girls, wight?... Den how was I born, Daddy? You said you was a boy an' so was Papa.."
The blond was running low on creative answers. He was sure that too much more of this and he would fry her little brain cells trying to comprehend.
"That's right, sweet stuff. But ya know how uncle Yugi is a girl now? Well, that happened ta Daddy an' that's how Papa an' I had ya."
".... So you an' Papa did da spesial t'ings an' put me in your tummy an' den you did spesial mommy t'ings ta ma'e me come out?..."
"Yep. Ya got it."
She pondered for another moment, ".. Can you still do dose spesial mommy t'ings? 'Cause I wanna have a brudder or sis'er, Daddy."
Joey practically fell out of his chair as he struggled to hold himself together. He held his head in his free hand, "N-not anymore, baby doll.. Why don't ya ask Papa about gettin' a brother or sister.."
The sound of giggling drew his attention. Yugi was standing beside Yami, ready to leave. The dark one lifted Asuka into his arms to help Joey get to his feet. The blond walked out beside his still giggling friend.
"Hey, if she wants a sibling, then Seto can just have it! Once was enough fer me, thank ya... Besides.. it would be good payback for what I went through," Joey smirked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sure, Joey had warned him about it and even the pregnancy books mentioned that sore breasts were going to happen, but nothing quite prepared Yugi for when it eventually did. Actually, 'sore' did not quite cover the sheer torment he was experiencing.
"It feels like someone used them for a few rounds of soccer.. and made sure to let their pet elephants trample them.. while they were wearing cleats..."
Yami tried not to chuckle at his lover's misery. His hikari had been moaning and groaning for a while now as the more 'fun' symptoms began making themselves known. It was rather troubling though as morning sickness began and all the former ruler could do was stand beside Yugi and hold his hair back. Sometimes, they both had to question where exactly Yugi could be hiding the reserves of stomach contents he constantly had to expel.
It was during this time that they finally decided to tell others about their good news. They wrote to their far away friends and telephoned Ryou and Malik, but they wanted to have a small celebration when they told Yugi's grandfather.
They treated Solomon to a lovely dinner in one of Domino's nicer restaurants and spent a good deal of the time chatting since it was still a fairly new adjustment to living apart. The elder Mutou ordered some wine as his treat.
"Here now, we should have a toast. It isn't often we get to spend time like this anymore and I want to thank you two for taking an old man out on the town."
Yugi chuckled a little, but start fidgeting with his napkin, "Thank you for the offer, Grandpa, but I'm going to pass on the wine."
Yami put his arm around his love as Solomon filled two glasses.
"No? Are you sure you don't want a little?"
Yugi shook his head softly, a light dusting of pink coming to his cheeks as he started smiling, "I'm sure.. I just can't have any alcohol for the next nine months..."
He let his words hang open in the air and watched carefully as his grandfather rethought that statement until realization suddenly dawned on him. The older man's eyes widened a fraction in surprise before a proud warmth lit up his face.
"Yugi.. Do you mean..?"
His grandchild gave an impish smile before nodding his head excitedly in reply. All Solomon could do was let out a warm laugh as he came to his feet. He took Yugi into a tight embrace.
"Oh, ho ho! Yugi! Yami! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you both!"
Once he had taken his seat again, he raised his wine glass. Yami did the same and Yugi lifted up his glass of water.
"Now this is certainly something to toast to!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Food cravings were another wonderful thing that Yami began to see. When Yugi shoved him out of the way in the kitchen one day to meticulously prepare an apple into little fry-like shapes with a heaping of peanut butter, Yami looked at his light as if he had suddenly grown an extra limb. Yami even tried being helpful and cute one day by making rabbit apples for his other half, but Yugi completely ignored them so he could make his apple fries instead.
"You don't like the apples I made for you, aibou?"
"I think they're really cute, Yami, but I just.. like.. NEED them to be in stick form for some reason. That's all that's been on my mind since I woke up."
From then on, Yugi had apple fries.
Mood swings were another thing that Yami thoroughly enjoyed. Dear Ra. He would rather stab the Millennium Rod through his frontal lobe than have to deal with an overly hormonal hikari.
One of his favorite moments was when he was busy trying to make a box of instant mashed potatoes with cheese to soothe one of Yugi's latest cravings. Yami was struggling with the ingredients to measure everything just perfectly when he suddenly heard his lover let out a heart wrenching cry of sorrow.
The former pharaoh dropped the carton of milk and box of potato flakes as he took off like a shot for the living room. In his rush to reach Yugi, he wasn't quite paying close attention in his steps. In a far less than graceful move, he bashed his shin into the side table and landed in a spectacular face vault at the sobbing light's feet. Yami scrambled for his footing to come to Yugi's side where he sat upon the couch.
"Yugi!! What is it?! What's wrong??"
Yugi blinked his tear-filled eyes between sobs, trying to form words. He buried his face in his hands with another wail.
".. H.. He.. He said.. He said he didn't l.. like him.. But.. But he.. he's go.. going to.. to get revenge for him!"
Now Yami was completely lost, ".... Who is?"
"Yuki!!"
The darkness heaved a groan at the all too familiar name as he dropped his head back against the headrest of the couch. He slapped his hand over his face in exasperation.
".. Aibou.. Are you watching those DVDs again?.."
In the past week, Yugi had become rather obsessed with his new collection of Gravitation DVDs he had purchased. Every time he watched, it would only cause Yami headaches with the change in his love's mood according to the different episodes.
'I've heard of pregnant women watching soap operas.. But nooo... my aibou watches shonen ai anime.'
He tried to be as comforting as he could and let Yugi cry into his shoulder. When the sobs finally subsided, the hikari spoke softly.
"*sniff*.. Yami?.."
"Yes, Yugi?"
"... Can we name the baby Shuichi?.. Or maybe Yuki?"
Yami kissed his other half upon the forehead with a sigh of extreme vexation, "Koi, you know I love you, but I think we have enough similar 'Y' names in our house as it is.. And how do you know it's going to be a boy? What if the baby is a girl?"
Yugi nodded slowly, "Oh.. I guess you're right.... Yami?"
"Yes, aibou?"
"Where's my mashed potatoes?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm nervous, Yami.." Yugi lay upon the examination table as they awaited Dr. Kokoro to arrive. They were to have an ultrasound done today to see just how the fetus was developing.
Yami held his light's hand and stroked Yugi's forehead with the other, "I know, aibou. But the doctor assured us that it would be fine. Just relax."
Shortly, the female physician appeared. She did a quick check over Yugi's vitals before proceeding to wheel out the ultrasound equipment. Her friendly personality helped to ease the anxious hikari as they prepared.
"Just pull up your shirt for me, okay? And this gel is a little on the cool side just to warn you."
He lifted his shirt out of the way and slipped his pants lower on his hips. His clothes were already feeling a bit snugger in the waist area. Yugi squeaked as the chilly goo landed upon his exposed belly, but it warmed up a few moments later.
With careful precision, Dr. Kokoro ran the probe through the gel and smeared it all along Yugi's abdomen while she looked at the screen. She explored for a few moments, all the while remaining quiet. At last, she settled on a single area as they three of them watched the pulsating globular form on the monitor.
"There it is. That's your baby right there. See the heart beating?"
Yami just stared in awe, still trying to comprehend that he was looking at the first pictures of a little life he and Yugi had created together. He felt the other slip a small hand in his own and Yami gave it a loving squeeze.
".. Wow... That's really what's going on inside me?" Amethyst eyes sparkled.
"Yes. And it appears to be quite a healthy beat too.. Let's see if I can get another angle here."
The probe was on the move, causing the duelist on the table to squirm slightly in discomfort. As she searched, Dr. Kokoro's brow rose slightly and she paused. She pressed a bit more, trying to make sure she was seeing correctly. Yami glanced over to watch her adjusting her glasses absently.
With a slight hint of worry, he inquired, "Is something the matter?"
At first, the doctor did not reply and just kept on searching. The silence was only punctuated occasionally with an intrigued hum while she worked. However, none of this was very settling to the expecting couple.
Yugi worried his lower lip, ".. Is.. Is there something wrong with the baby?.." His fears began snowballing rapidly.
Dr. Kokoro turned her head, a soft grin upon her face, "I guess you could say that.. but it means that I want you coming in more often, Yugi."
Panic flashed across their faces, "What is it?.."
She turned back to the monitor as she held the probe in place and carefully gave the screen a tap, "You see that little mass right there?"
"Yeah?"
Warmth and joy tinkled in her voice, "Well, let me be the first to congratulate you both.. Yugi, you're carrying a set of twins."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: Yay! And at first, I wasn’t going to do the ‘twin’ thing. But with so many requests, I rethought it. I’ll tell more about the twins later though. I’ve got more surprises for them *^-^*
