~*~*~*~*~

"Here you go, Kennie." Seto held out a glass of ginger ale. "This should help."

"Thanks, Seto." Kendra accepted the glass and settled back down on the couch where she was laying, cradled in Ryou's arms.

Not fifteen minutes after finishing dinner, Kendra had gotten sick, throwing up, and had to lie down.

"Are you sure you're up to starting work tomorrow?" Tristan asked, putting his arms around Seto as his lover sat down next to him.

"I'll be fine." Kendra smiled. "I'm feeling better already."

"You've had the flu for a long time, Kendra." Mokuba said from his spot on the floor next to the couch Ryou and his girlfriend were sitting on.

"I'm fine, kiddo. Really."

"I wish you'd let me help, Kennie." Seto said. "I know how much living with your mother is stressing you."

"You already have. This job pays double what my old one did. Hopefully I'll be able to afford to go to school in the fall."

"Are you going to move out?"

"She can't afford to." Ryou said. "Not if she has to pay for school too."

"Kennie, please…" Seto began.

"Seto, no." Kendra interrupted. "You've done enough."

"Let it be, amante." Tristan whispered. "She has her pride."

Seto sighed. He hated to see Kendra so visibly upset by the relationship, or lack thereof, she had with her mother. There were dark circles under her eyes, as though she hadn't been getting much sleep, and she was so sick, barely able to keep any food down for what seemed like forever.

"Well, you know you're welcome to stay here whenever you want."

"I know." Kendra sat up. "It means a lot to me that you and Tristan let me stay here."

"Any time, Kendra." Tristan grinned.

"We should head to bed, love." Ryou said. "I have classes tomorrow and you'll want some time to get ready for work."

"Mokuba, you should head off too." Seto said to his brother, ignoring the groan of protest. "It's getting late."

"Come on, little buddy." Tristan said. "You've got basketball practice tomorrow and we're going to the movies with Joey and Bakura."

Mokuba grumbled, getting up from the floor. He blushed profusely as Kendra stood and gave him a hug, bidding him goodnight before taking Ryou's hand and heading upstairs.

"I think Mokuba still has a crush on Kendra." Tristan said when he and Seto were alone.

"He does." Seto chuckled. "It's kinda cute."

"He's growing up, Seto. I can't help but wonder if Michael would have had a crush on her too. He'd be almost thirteen."

Seto bent his head and kissed Tristan softly, not knowing what to say.

Tristan's birthday was less than a week away and he could see that his lover was beginning to fall into the same depression that he had last year, becoming more quiet and distant with each passing day. But now that he knew the cause of it, he could help him deal with it. He gave Tristan his space and Mokuba seemed to be a major source of comfort for him.

He was hoping that this time it wouldn't be so bad. He had begun making plans a few weeks ago to make the time a little easier on Tristan. A call to his fiancé's mother this morning had allowed Seto to implement a plan that had formed in his head last year. He only hoped it would do more good than harm.

"Let's go to bed, baby." Seto stood and held out his hand.

Tristan stood as well, taking Seto into his arms. "I miss him, Seto."

"I know you do." Seto replied, knowing there weren't any words he could offer to elevate the other's pain. "Come on. Bedtime."

Tristan let Seto lead him off, trying to fight back the sadness that came with the memories of his little brother. Time didn't seem to be making it any easier.

~*~*~*~*~

Ryou slid into the bed, moving immediately to take Kendra into his arms, and ran his fingers through her dark blonde hair.

Everything about her was soft. Her hair, her lips, her warm, bare skin pressed against his own…

"How are you feeling, love?" Ryou asked as he gently kissed her forehead.

"Much better now." Kendra smiled as she cuddled into Ryou's chest. "I can't believe it's been almost two weeks since we've been alone together. Seems like forever."

"I know. I've missed this."

"Me too." Kendra slipped her hand into Ryou's snowy locks, drawing his head down until their lips met.

They kissed slowly, savoring the taste of each other, until they had to break apart for air.

"I love you, Kendra." Ryou whispered, looking deeply into her grey eyes. "With all my heart."

"Ryou…I love you." She reached up and stroked her fingers across his cheek. "You make me so happy."

"I'm worried about you, love." Ryou said, concern reflected in his deep, chocolate eyes. "Maybe you should see a doctor."

"Honey, I can't afford a doctor."

"What about Dr. Cray? I know Seto's worried too. Ask him to send you."

"Seto's done too much for me already." Kendra demurred. "Giving me a job, letting me use his cars, giving me a place to stay when I need it…I feel guilty asking him for anything."

"Kendra, this is your health we're talking about." Ryou said firmly. "If you don't ask him, I will."

Kendra sighed. "Okay. I'll ask him."

"Thank you, love." Ryou gently brushed his lips against Kendra's. "It's probably nothing, but we want to be sure."

Kendra nodded, drawing Ryou closer, tipping her face up in invitation.

Ryou stared down into his lover's face for a long moment before cupping her cheek in his hand and bending his head to kiss her.

Kendra moaned softly as Ryou's tongue gently invaded her mouth. She arched against him, clutching at his shoulder.

"I want you." Ryou's voice was husky as the kiss broke.

"Oh, Ryou…yes. I want you too." She ran a hand down Ryou's chest. "Make love to me…please."

Ryou stroked his fingers from her cheek down her neck and chest to cup her breast. He groaned as he felt the nipple immediately harden, spearing his palm like a sharp thorn.

Pushing her over onto her back, he bent to kiss her neck, gently kneading the soft flesh in his hand. Kendra whimpered and arched into his touch, silently pleading.

He placed a series of small, wet kisses across her upper chest before bending his head and taking her nipple into his mouth, gently sucking, while his fingers continued to tease the other.

"Ryou…oh, gods!"

Ryou moaned, not knowing how much longer he could wait. Kendra had always been sensitive here, but tonight she seemed even more so, and it was driving him mad.

His hand drifted down, lightly stroking, until his fingertips brushed against the nest of tight curls at the juncture of her thighs. A single digit slipped in, finding her already wet, hot and throbbing with need.

Ryou quickly moved down, his lips following the path his hand had taken. He paused to gently kissed Kendra's faintly rounded stomach, delving his tongue into her navel, causing her to gasp loudly and sink her hands into his hair.

He gently spread her legs and moved in between them, kissing the insides of her thighs. Using his thumbs, he parted the moist folds, his tongue slipping from between his lips to touch the tiny badge of her sex.

The second she felt the contact, Kendra screamed, arching against her lover's mouth, climaxing. Ryou stayed where he was, working to quickly bring her to release a second time.

"Ryou…Ryou, please!!" Kendra's grip tightened in his hair. "Oh, gods…I need you…please!"

As Ryou's body covered her, Kendra kissed him hungrily, moaning as she tasted herself on his lips.

"My love." Ryou said softly as he slowly pushed himself into her willing heat. "You're so very beautiful."

Kendra sobbed, feeling her body stretch to welcome him. "Love you…Ryou…"

Ryou held himself up on his hands as he began to move so he could watch her as he loved her, seeing her passion mirrored so clearly on her face. It was something he could never get enough of.

Eyes slipping closed; Kendra began to meet the gentle thrusts. "Please, Ryou…harder."

"I want to come inside you." Ryou moaned. "Gods, Kendra…"

Kendra opened her eyes to meet Ryou's, glazed with love and desire. "It's okay, angel. We're safe."

"You're sure?" Ryou asked through clenched teeth as he fought his release.

"Yes." Kendra wrapped her legs around Ryou's waist. "I'm sure."

"Oh, love…" Ryou began to pound into her, wanting to bring her to full pleasure before giving into his own.

He could tell she was close, hearing her whimpering his name, and he drove in deeper, knowing she wanted it.

"Ryou…yes…YES!" Kendra screamed, fingers digging into Ryou's arms as she arched into him.

Ryou sobbed as he felt her climax, his own orgasm crashing into him with the force of a tidal wave. His arms trembled and he barely had time to remove himself from her twitching body before he collapsed onto her chest. Overwhelmed, he began to sob uncontrollably.

Kendra brought her arms up to encircle her weeping lover, making soft, soothing noises as she cradled his head against her breasts.

"K-Kendra…oh, gods…I…I love you." Ryou sobbed.

"Shh…I love you too, Ryou. It's okay."

"I so envy Tristan and Seto," Ryou said as his sobs quieted. "Being able to be together all the time."

"Someday, Ryou…someday we'll be able to do that." Kendra stroked the pale, sweat-damp hair. "You'll finish collage and find a good job, and so will I. Then we'll be able to live our own lives."

"It just seems so far away."

"I know it does. But there's nothing we can do about it, angel. For now, we can only take what we can, when we can."

Ryou nodded against his lover's chest, knowing she was right. It frustrated him to no end, but there really was nothing he could do about it. Until they finished their educations and found jobs, they were forced to live under their parents' roofs, and live apart.

~*~*~*~*~

Seto tried not to run as he threw open the doors to Kaiba Land, scanning the crowd for his brother.

"Seto!" Mokuba ran up to him.

"Where is she?" Seto demanded.

"In the staff room." The younger Kaiba replied. "She won't talk to me, big brother. She came in for her shift and she was crying. I asked her how her doctor's appointment went and she just ran away from me."

"Go home, Mokuba. I'll take care of it."

"But, Seto…"

"Now, Mokuba." Seto turned his brother around and gave him a shove toward the doors. "The limo is waiting for you. Tell Tristan I'll be home as soon as I can."

Not even waiting to see if his brother had followed his instructions, Seto turned and quickly made his way to the staff lounge, ignoring the greetings of his employees.

When he entered the back room, he saw Kendra sitting on a couch, her face blank and her eyes red rimmed.

Seto turned to the two other people in the room. "Get out. Now."

They quickly fled, leaving Seto alone with Kendra. He crossed the room, sitting on the couch and taking her hand.

"Kennie, what happened?" Seto looked into watery grey eyes. "What did Dr. Cray say?"

"Oh, gods, Seto…" Kendra leaned into him, pressing her face into his chest.

Seto's arms came around her, holding her gently, his heart rising to his throat. Possibilities crashed through his mind…cancer…a heart condition…something fatal.

"I'm…" Kendra sobbed. "I'm pregnant."

"You're..?" Seto was shocked…that was something that hadn't occurred to him.

"What am I going to do? What am I going to tell Ryou? My mother…" Kendra broke down, unable to go on.

"Kennie…shhh…it's okay." Seto comforted her. "I'll help you figure this out."

"My mother's going to kill me. And Ryou's father…oh, gods…he's going to flip." Kendra looked up at Seto, tears running down her face. "He told Ryou in front of me that he didn't care how Ryou lived his life so long as he didn't get some girl pregnant before he got married."

"You're parents aside…what do you want to do?" Seto gently brushed the tears from her face. "If you want to…have an abortion, I'll pay for it."

"I can't do that, Seto." She looked at him earnestly. "This baby is part of Ryou. I just can't do that."

"There's always adoption. Unless you want to keep it."

"I…I don't know. I have to talk to Ryou."

"Come on." Seto stood. "I'm taking you home with me. You can call Ryou and have him come over."

"But my shift…"

"Hey." Seto grinned at her. "Who's your boss?"

"You are." Kendra smiled tremulously.

"You're taking the day off."

Kendra stood and put her arms around Seto's waist, laying her head on his chest. "Thank you, Seto."

~*~*~*~*~

Tristan was standing in the open door when Seto and Kendra arrived, worry etched on his face. He reached for Kendra as soon as she came through the door, putting his arms around her and looking at Seto.

"Amante?" He held Kendra gently as she began crying again. "What's wrong? Mokuba was really upset when he got home."

"Let's go into the den." Seto said, turning and heading in that direction, leaving Tristan to follow with Kendra.

They settled Kendra on the couch and sat on either side of her, Seto's arm around her shoulders and Tristan holding her hand.

Seto came straight to the point. "She's pregnant."

"Oh, Kennie…" Tristan wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his lap and cuddling her against his chest. "Have you told Ryou?"

"N-Not yet. He's in class. I…I can't get a hold of him."

"What can we do?"

Kendra began crying harder. "Bakura…"

"Do you want me to call him?" Seto moved closer, reaching out to stroke her hair.

Kendra nodded against Tristan's chest, unable to answer. Seto stood up, bending to kiss his friend before leaving the room.

Tristan held Kendra close, rocking her, doing nothing more than offering her the comfort of his presence, until Seto came back a few minutes later.

"He'll be here soon." Seto sat back down. "He has to pick Joey up from work. I didn't tell him anything. I just asked him to come over."

"Kendra," Tristan tipped her face up, brushing away her tears. "How did this happen? Don't you guys use anything?"

Kendra shook her head. "I couldn't afford the pill, and we can't use condoms. I'm allergic to latex. We're just…really careful. We don't sleep together on the days I'm not safe."

Seto tried to beat back the blush rising to his cheeks. "Did Dr. Cray tell you how far along you are?"

"Three and a half months." Kendra looked at Seto. "That would explain why I've been so sick."

"That far?!" Tristan was surprised. "And you had no idea?"

Kendra buried her face in her hands. "I didn't know. I mean…I'm still having my period and everything!"

Any other time, Tristan would have burst out laughing at the look on Seto's face. The normally cool CEO was beet red, finding the floor extremely worthy of intense scrutiny. He was obviously embarrassed by Kendra's blunt observation. His experience with women was so small as to be completely non-existent.

Kendra lifted her head and, seeing Seto's discomfort, reached for his hand. "Sorry."

"No. It's okay, honey." Seto felt the need to change the subject. "How are you going to tell your mother?"

"I don't know." Kendra looked a little scared. "She's going to kill me."

"Kennie…does your mother ever…hit you?"

"No, she's never laid a hand on me." Tears welled up in Kendra's eyes again. "She just does a good job of reminding me how I ruined her life and how worthless I am." Her voice dropped to a whisper and she hung her head. "And this just goes to prove it."

"Hey." Tristan grasped her chin and forced her to look at him. "You are not worthless. If anything, having a baby PROVES that."

"Tristan's right." Seto put in. "You're not worthless, Kennie. You're my best friend."

Kendra looked at Seto. "I am?"

"Of course you are. I can talk to you about things I can't talk to anyone else about…not even Tristan. You were there for me last year when I needed someone the most."

Kendra looked at Tristan, who smiled at her, and back to Seto. "I love you guys."

"We love you too, Kendra." Tristan said, squeezing her gently.

Seto took her other hand in his. "Whatever you and Ryou decide to do, we'll stand behind you."

~*~*~*~*~

Ryou arrived at the same time as Bakura and Joey. He had finished class early and decided to come see Tristan with Yami and Yugi before going to pick Kendra up from work.

Seto met them all in the foyer. "Ryou, Kendra needs to speak to you…alone."

"What's wrong?" Bakura asked.

Yami frowned. "It's about her doctor's appointment, isn't it?"

"Let me take Ryou to her. Why don't you guys go upstairs and wait for us."

"Seto?" Ryou's voice was small and frightened. "Please…tell me she's okay?"

"She's okay." Seto reassured him. "She just needs to talk to you privately."

Ryou turned to Bakura. "Come with me, yami."

Seto met Bakura's eyes and nodded. "She did ask for you."

Bakura took his light's hand and followed Seto into the den as the others headed upstairs to wait.

Seto knocked on the door before opening it to reveal Kendra, still sitting in Tristan's lap, eyes dry.

"Kendra?" Ryou went and sat next to Tristan. "Sweetheart…are you alright?"

Seto gave Tristan a knowing look. "Let's leave them alone."

Tristan kissed Kendra's temple, sliding out from underneath her. "We'll be upstairs if you need us."

Bakura waited until the two brunets had left before going to sit down on Kendra's other side. "What's wrong? What did Dr. Cray say?"

Kendra turned to face Ryou, taking both of his hands in hers. "Ryou…I'm…I'm pregnant."

"Pregnant?" Ryou didn't seem to hear her. "What do you mean…pregnant?"

"As in "having a baby", hikari." Bakura said, wrapping his arms around his other's girlfriend.

All the color drained from Ryou's face and he swayed. "Oh, gods…"

"Ryou?" Kendra bit her lip. "Ryou…please talk to me."

"How?"

Bakura rolled his eyes. "If you don't know that…you were there."

"Bakura…" Kendra said warningly.

"Kendra," Ryou gripped his lover's hands tightly. "What are we going to do?"

"I talked to Seto and Tristan." Kendra began. "I just…I don't know if I want to give the baby up, Ryou. I don't know if I can do that."

"What do you mean, give it up?!" Ryou said. "Why would we give it up?!"

"We can't afford a baby, but…"

"I'll quit school and get a job…."

"Wait." Bakura interrupted. "Ryou, you know what your father's going to say. And we all know Kendra probably won't even have a roof over her head once her mother finds out."

"I will not allow that woman to interfere in this." Ryou said firmly. "She's no mother. I will provide for Kendra and our child. No matter what I have to do."

Kendra raised Ryou's hands to her lips. "I love you, Ryou."

"I love you too, Kendra." Ryou pulled his hands from her grasp and cupped her face. "I know we didn't plan on this for a very long time…but I'm not unhappy about it."

"You're…you're not?" Kendra's eyes were wide.

"This is my child." Ryou hand drifted down to lay gently on Kendra's stomach. "Our child. I love you with all my heart, Kendra, and I know I'll love our baby."

Bakura reached around Kendra and placed his hand over Ryou's. "I'm here for you both. And so are the others."

Kendra reached back and wrapped her arm around Bakura's neck, giving him a squeeze. "Let's go tell the others."

~*~*~*~*~

The expectant looks on their friend's faces as they walked through the door into Tristan's den made it obvious that Seto and Tristan had told them what was going on.

Kendra made a bee line for Seto, leaning down to hug him, kissing his cheek. "We're keeping the baby."

Yami raised an eyebrow. "The Tomb Robber's going to be an uncle. That's scary."

Yugi dug his elbow into Yami's ribs. "That's great guys!"

"You're all going to be uncles." Ryou said, sitting down next to Seto and Tristan, pulling Kendra into his lap. "We want you all to be involved in our child's life."

"You bet!" Joey grinned from his spot on the floor next to the couch. "I can't wait!!"

"I'm going to quit school and start looking for a job." Ryou told them.

"What?!" Seto looked at the white haired hikari. "Ryou! You can't quit school!"

"I have to, Seto. I need an income if Kendra's going to be able to get proper medical care. I don't want her to have to work while she's pregnant."

"Absolutely not!" Seto stated. "Ryou…stay in school. I'll pay her medical expenses."

"Seto," Kendra said. "I don't want you to…"

"No arguments, Kennie. You guys are going to have a hard enough time making ends meet once the baby comes. Let me do this."

Kendra sighed, looking at Ryou. "Okay."

"When are you going to tell your parents?" Joey asked, leaning against the couch and pulling Bakura against him.

"I want to tell my father as soon as possible." Ryou said. "There's no sense in waiting."

"If he dares try anything, hikari…" Bakura growled threateningly.

"Which is why you are NOT going to be there when we tell him." Ryou said. "I can handle my father, Bakura."

Joey grabbed Bakura's arm as the yami began to protest. He shook his head, indicating that his lover should leave it be.

"What about your mother?" Seto asked Kendra.

Kendra bit her lip. "I...I don't know. I'm scared of what she will say. Could you…Seto, would you come with us when we tell her?"

"Of course."

"Thank you." Kendra took Seto's hand.

"You don't need to thank me, Kennie. I'd do anything for you, you know that."

~*~*~*~*~

DD: *squishes Ryou* Ryou's gonna be a daddy!

Yami: PLEASE don't let the baby be a mini Tomb Robber!

YD: No, that's Lexi, in Stronger Than Before.

Yami: Oh, yeah.

DD: So for the crappy het scene, guys, but I wrote it for Ryousmistress265…you know why, girl!

Ryou: Please review! *blushes* I can't believe they made me a father!
