I used to think I had it made,

Every time we said goodnight.

This little dating game we've played,

Has always seemed to feel all right.

I've had my privacy and your heart on a string.

And it's never been my style to ruin a good thing.
_______________________________________________________
It had been a week since Seto had nearly lost Pernia and he was laying in his bed deep in thought. His mind toiled over one thought that had entered his mind the night after they had been reunited. Marriage. He had never thought of that before but the idea of marrying Pernia was very appealing to him. He sat up and pondered that thought even more.

Was he willing to give up his freedom to be with the woman he loved? Did he really want to give himself to just one woman? Even if that one woman was the woman he was destined to be with? Being married meant that they would probably have children, and he wasn't sure he would make a good father. He did after all hit Pernia, even though she had forgiven him.

Still if he married Pernia and she did get pregnant then he wouldn't have to worry about her being looked down upon or their being any scandal. Because if there was a scandal concerning him and Pernia then Pegasus would probably kill him, a soft chuckle escaped his throat as he knew that Pernia was probably the only thing either of the males would have in common.

He climbed out of bed and showered and dressed deciding that perhaps it would be a good idea to ask her for marriage. He faltered slightly as he pulled on his trench coat, he still wasn't sure if he was ready. But perhaps once he asked her to marry him then maybe he would know if he was ready or not. There was one thing that he had to do before buying the ring.

He had to ask Pegasus for permission to marry his niece. He just hoped that the older male would let him marry the young and beautiful Pernia.

Oh, but lately,

I've been thinkin' 'bout a change of plans;

Maybe get a couple wedding bands,

And do something crazy.

Maybe get a piece of land and see,

If we could start a little family tree.

Well, I don't know what's gotten into me,

But I've been dreamin' 'bout babies.
_____________________________________________________________ Pegasus was seating at a desk in an office in his Japanese business thinking over the events of the past few weeks. The older Kaiba brother had fallen in love with his niece and had nearly lost her the first time his temper got out of control. However, that had not been nearly as bad as when Kaiba had found out about her relation to Pegasus.

The result of that had left Pernia injured, hurt, scared, and in even greater danger with Noah. She had intended to leave Seto after he had rescued her believing he really didn't love her and if Pegasus hadn't seen Seto save her, chase her down, and get down on his knees in front of her; he wouldn't have believed it either. But he had seen it and he knew that Kaiba loved her, either that or he was smoking some really fucked up shit.

Pegasus smiled and looked out of the window behind his desk having a feeling that something important was going to happen today. He had a feeling it had to do with Kaiba and Pernia a slight laugh left his mouth, they were a very unlikely pair but fate worked in mysterious ways. He turned around when he heard the door to the office open and saw Kaiba standing before him.

"Kaiba what can I do for you?" asked Pegasus.

"I have come to ask you a question.," said Seto staring intently into the eyes of the older male.

"Oh? What about?"

"I have come to ask your permission to ask for Pernia's hand in marriage."

Pegasus smirked and leaned back in his office seat for several minutes before responding.

"Very well Kaiba I give you permission to marry my niece," said Pegasus.

Seto nodded and turned around to head back out the door.

"Oh and Kaiba take care of my niece or I will kill you, or even worse start calling you Kaiba boy."

Kaiba cringed at the thought of being called THAT.

"Don't worry Pegasus I have no intention of harming Pernia anymore."

Seto reached for the door and opened it however, before he left he turned around and smiled at Pegasus.

"Thank you for your permission Pegasus."

"Of course."

With that Seto left the office and headed toward a jewelry store to buy the engagement ring.

I know it can be hard these days,

To be a family man.

I know that all the experts say:

"You need to live life while you can."

I've heard psychology on what makes "true love" true,

And I've read the books on educated points of view.

_____________________________________________________________ Seto stared down at the display of diamond rings. None of them seemed to suit Pernia; they all seemed rather plain and dull, not at all like his Pernia.

"Are you finding everything to your liking?" asked the woman that owned the jewelry store.

"There is nothing in this display case that I think would suit her," frowned Seto.

"But these are the most expensive diamond rings we have," said the woman frowning.

"I know," said Seto. "I just don't think a diamond would suite her."

"Well," said the woman slowly. "You could get her a ring with a stone that is her birthstone."

"No," said Seto after a moment's consideration. "I don't think that would suit her."

"Well," said the woman brightly. "How about one that matches her eyes."

Seto frowned in consideration before smiling. "I think that would do."

"Alright," said the woman smiling. "What color are her eyes?"

"Blue, a light blue."

"Well," said the woman motioning him over to a counter. "We have come lovely sapphires."

Seto looked them over before choosing a ring that had a beautiful sapphire stone in it with smaller lighter sapphire stones. He would invite Pernia to dinner tonight then propose to her back at home in front of a roaring fire. He smiled as he left the store slipping the ring into the pocket of his trench coat.

Oh, but lately,

I've been listenin' more to Dr. Seuss,

Readin' up on Mother Goose,

Seems she's quite a lady.

I've been seein' lots of pinks and blues,

An' little bitty tennis shoes.

Hearin': "Goodnight Daddy, I love you"'s.

Yeah, I've been dreamin' 'bout babies.
_____________________________________________________________ Pernia sighed and pushed down on her light blue evening gown. It had only one strap with a golden broach being her only jewelry. She allowed her brown hair to flow freely down her back. She smiled and left her room going to join Seto by the stairs. He smiled when he saw her and offered his arm which she gladly accepted. Mokuba and Mizu grinned at each other as they watched them leave the mansion and head toward the restaurant Seto had taken Nikushimi too several nights ago.

The moment the couple entered they immediately received curious looks from the other couples at the restaurant; they seemed surprised that Seto was with someone other than Nikushimi.

"Everyone is staring at us," whispered Pernia nervously.

"No," smiled Seto wrapping an arm around Pernia's waist. "Just you my love."

"Why?" asked Pernia as Seto pulled out her chair.

"Because," whispered Seto kissing her bare shoulder gently before taking his own seat. "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."

"You always seem to tell me that," said Pernia blushing.

"Because it's true," said Seto ordering champagne.

"I didn't know you drank champagne," said Pernia. "I thought you normally drank wine."

"Tonight is a special night," said Seto smiling gently.

"What do you mean?" asked Pernia looking confused.

"You will find out later tonight," said Seto kissing her hand.

"Well alright I guess," said Pernia after awhile.

"Good," said Seto. "Now on to other things."

The rest of the meal was spent laughing and talking about various things.
_____________________________________________________________

I used to dream of fancy foriegn cars,

And black tie affairs.

And how we'd live in separate condos,

While we climbed the golden stairs.
_____________________________________________________________ Seto and Pernia were laying on the wooden floor in front of a roaring fire. Seto had his back propped up against a pillow that was propped up against a couch and Pernia was propped up against his chest. Seto had removed his shoes, jacket, undid his tie, and the first few buttons on his shirt. Pernia had just removed her shoes since removing anything else would be indecent.

Seto's head rested gently on top of Pernia's head.

"I can't believe how much we have been through in so short a time," said Pernia softly.

"I know," said Seto sighing. "We've been through jealous rages."

"Which were yours," said Pernia laughing.

"My temperamental bursts."

"Yeah," said Pernia. "That was definitely something I never thought we would make it through."

"We've also had to deal with my psychotic ex-lover and a brother that is supposed to have died, twice."

"Yes," said Pernia looking up at Seto adoringly.

"But I guess that just goes to show how strong are love is," said Seto.

"Or how stubborn you are to not let anyone beat you at anything."

"I think it is a combination of both," smiled Seto kissing her gently.

Pernia grinned and pulled back before turning slightly so she could capture his lips more securely. They just lay like that wrapped in each other's arms and kissing each other as if these were the last moments they would be together, and knowing their luck, it just might. Finally Seto pulled away from her sweet lips and smiled down at her.

"What?" asked Pernia her face flushed.

"I have something to ask you," said Seto fishing in his jacket pocket for the ring.

"Oh and what is that?" asked Pernia raising an eyebrow.

"Will you marry me?" asked Seto opening the box and holding it in front of her.

Pernia looked at him and taking the box from his hand sat up. She looked at the ring before turning her attention back to him.

"Are you serious?" she asked softly.

"Very," said Seto trying to hide his nervousness and succeeding. "Well? Will…."

Before Seto could finish repeating his question Pernia through her arms around his neck and kissed him firmly across the mouth.

"I take that as a yes," said Seto laughing when she pulled back.

"You know it," said Pernia laughing. "Yes! I will marry you Seto! I will!"

Oh, but lately,

I've been thinkin' that it makes more sense,

To build a house with a picket fence,

Forget the Mercedes.

Get some puppy-dogs and trainin' wheels,

And a family Oldsmobile.

I can't believe just how good it feels,

To be dreamin' 'bout babies. (Dreamin' 'bout babies.)

I can't believe just how good it feels,

No.
