Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Baby of Mine ❯ Our Growing Girl ( Chapter 17 )

OK! I have a gift for you guys! In your reviews, I've decided to allow you guys to give Ryou a baby shower gift (it can be soft like a teddy bear or even an annoying toy to get on Marik's nerves). I will work the gifts into the story somehow. Only one gift per person per review! So if you guys want to give Ryou a present, tell me what you want to give him in your review.

Note: There will be twins, so you can choose to get one gift or two: for a boy or a girl. One person already is giving them one bassinet, so I could use one more.

AMT: That was the funniest fight scene I have ever done. Can't wait to see what your surprise is.

Hotaruchan: I am most disgusted with ffnet! How dare they pull Mal's story off! In any case, I'm glad you liked that last scene. I couldn't pick a favorite part if I tried.

Negacat: I won't stop until I run out of ideas and that won't happen any time soon.

Kitychan: You have a point. Yes, I do put more effort into the lemons because they have to be right. I want them to be romantic, not too smutty, subtle and not too graphic.

Sorry you're having nightmares of anzu. Any dream with her is worse than a nightmare.

Gralnak: It'd be interesting to see Malik's reaction.

Ssjgoddesschico: I don't know what he will do until I write the scene. He decides if he is going to be mad or not.

Tiamat: I know. A chibi Marik and Bakura…that's dangerous.

Hato-chiisai: Bakura impersonates Ryou quite well, but let's just say he does still have that temper.

Dragondreamer: Oh come on, I know you loved it as much as I did….*insert insane laughter *

Ryou's Misstress: Hmm…Malik and Ryou fight….interesting. But Malik gave Marik permission.

Goldaries: No problem, sweetie. I try to review those who review me. I think I'm way behind though. My thesis held me up.

Lupusdragon: You know, I didn't think about it either until I wrote the scene. I figured having them try to baby Ryou too much would be funny.

Our Growing Girl

Malik ran inside and dropped his school bag by the door. He removed his sweater and hung it by the hook behind the door. He turned to see Marik and Ryou sitting on the couch eating beef jerky and drinking fruit punch.

Malik collapsed in a chair with a sigh. "I can't wait until I am done school forever!"

Bakura heard Malik put his school bag down and entered the living room. "How was your day at school, Malik?"

Malik took in a deep breath. "We have to watch a movie next week in Health class. I mean, it's Health! Why do we need a movie?"

"What's it on? It can't be that bad."

"I don't know. The teacher told us we would be tested on it. I kinda was daydreaming, so I didn't pay attention."

Bakura sighed and sat to the left of Ryou. He took the package of beef jerky in his hand and read the ingredients. "Are you sure this is healthy for you, Ryou?"

"Hey, My Ryou is a growing girl, Bakura."

Malik grabbed a glass of fruit juice. "Did you go to the doctor today, Ryou?"

Ryou nodded and put down the food. She looked at Bakura asking him though her mindlink for permission to tell Malik. "Malik, we found why I got sick this morning and why I'm so tired."

Malik nodded and took a sip of fruit punch.

"I'm pregnant."

Malik turned to Marik and spat the fruit juice at him in surprise. The red liquid went all over the walls and covered Marik's purple tank top. Marik groaned and wiped his eyes of the citrus liquid. "You're pregnant?!" he coughed, as some of the liquid went down his throat.

"That's not all."

"How can there be more?"

"I don't know who the father is, Bakura or Marik."

Malik turned to Marik. Malik was too sore the other day to give Marik the release he needed. He even told Marik to talk to Ryou about their relationship. Sometimes, Malik felt Marik misunderstood the word "work" .

Malik walked up and stood in front of Ryou. He kneeled before Ryou and took her hand. "I don't care whose baby it is, Ryou. It may be Bakura's baby, and it may be Marik's. If it is Marik's, I want to thank you for doing this for us. If it is Bakura's baby, I still wish you all the luck in the world. And I will be right here with you every step of the way."

Ryou threw her arms around Malik smiling. "Thank you, Malik! Thank you so much!"

Ryou sat back and Malik put his hand on Ryou. Ryou giggled at the sensation. "You can't feel anything yet. You won't be able to feel anything for a while."

"This is great, Ryou! This is what we are studying in Health class! This is perfect!"

Malik returned to his seat as Marik turned to him. "You're not upset? Not even a little even after I…..yelled at you for sleeping with Ryou? Aren't you even angry?"

Malik took a gulp of juice. "Why should I be mad? I couldn't sleep with you, Marik. Stupid Anzu and her stupid golf balls! I felt bad that I had to deny you yesterday, but I was just too sore. If anything, I hope this can bring you and Ryou closer together."

Bakura sighed. "Ok. We really have to discuss this situation. Malik, we can't depend on your sister to financially support us. You are also going to school. Ryou must take it easy in the meantime."

"How are we going to handle the court?" Malik asked.

"I will impersonate Ryou," Bakura said. "I will pretend to be her. No one will believe that Ryou was turned into a girl."

Ryou wrapped her arms around her shoulders. "What if they ask you to show them the scars on my back?"

Bakura shook his head. "Then I show them the scars on your back. I have to do this for you, Ryou."

"What about school? Ryou was cleared to go back to school." Malik said.

"I will go to school for him when I am not in court."

Marik shifted his eyes between Bakura and Malik. "So who is left to get a job?"

Bakura smiled cruelly. "You are."

"ME???!!" Marik asked surprised.

"You claim this is your child, you go out and earn a living to support it."

"Ok! I give! It's your kid, Bakura! You get the job!"

Bakura shook his head. "Look, I will have Ryou with me during the day. I will keep an eye on her, but you will have to go out and work."

"But….me?"

"Yami, it's not that bad," Malik said. "How bad can a job really be?"

Marik sighed. "Well, one of us has to do it, right? Fine. I'll look in the paper tomorrow for a job."

Ryou gently pat Marik's hand. "Thank you, Marik. This means a lot to me."

"I know it does, Ryou. What kinds of jobs can a five thousand year old spirit have?"

"Well, you have a lot of experience doing everything, Marik," Ryou responded.

"I don't know. Marik will have a hard job finding jobs for ex-tomb robbers," Bakura said.

Marik brushed his hair back. "There has to be something I could do to get money."

*************In The Shadow Realm………*****************

Anubis looked into the orb and ran his hand over the glass. Malik was hugging Ryou and touching her belly excitedly. The growing process was proceeding nicely. "My army must grow strong quickly. The offspring must grow quickly and gain their strength." Anubis grabbed the orb in his hands.
