Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ It Started With Snow ❯ Part 13 Jou's 3rd month part 3 ( Chapter 15 )

It Started With Snow

Warnings: Mpreg

Notes: Again, each chapter as far as I'm planning, will be one month of Jou's pregnancy. This chapter last part of month 3.

Disclaimer: Okay…I found the tree that Legolas was tied in. He's still there, swinging upside down because Haldir's knots are very good. However, he can still do the disclaimer hanging like a bat, can't you my little leaf?

Legolas: Shinigami owns nothing except the idea for this story. Yu-Gi-Oh! isn't hers, cause if it was, she could stop working and go do fun things with her friends.. She also don't own Simple Plan's song "Perfect", and for the record, yes, she is a touch insane.

Shinigami709: I heard that. *Pushes Legolas so he starts swinging back and forth gently*

~Previous Chapter~

Outside, it had started raining and Seto, Yami, and Yugi, the latter two looking slightly disheveled stood waiting on Jou. He arrived ten minutes later looking like he'd been through a war.

Yugi was the first one to react. "Jou, what happened? Are you okay?" He ran to his friend's side.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's nothing you guys can help with." He looked so gloomy, Yugi wanted to glomp his friend.

Seto said nothing, but gave Jou a warning glare before hissing, "If anything happened to our child…" he couldn't finish his threat. He wouldn't allow himself to think like that.

Jou finally cracked a smile, "No, it's nothing like that. I'll explain to you at home."

The four boys reached Yugi's car and piled in out of the cold rain. Yami was driving again to allow his light to sleep off whatever activities that had gone on at the concert. Seto and Jou were in the back again. With it being a relatively dark ride home, Jou lay against Seto. With his head resting on Seto's chest, Jou could feel the brunette's breathing even out. It was then that Jou took Seto's hand and held it over his stomach. Had Jou been able to see, Seto had a slight smile gracing his shadowed features.

~Chapter 13 C~

Waving goodbye to Yami and Yugi, Seto led a drowsy Jou up and into his mansion. Seto was concerned about his blonde lover. Ever since the concert, Jou'd had a haunted look in his eyes. He'd seen the exact same look after Jou's father had beaten him and the blonde was standing on Seto's door step.

"Love, go up and get ready for bed. You've got to be up early so we can go see how our little one is." Seto urged as he gave Jou a little push toward the stairs. "I'll be up in a minute."

Jou only nodded before walking away sullenly. He knew what was going to happen when Seto joined him. He was going to have to explain his actions at the concert. Walking up the stairs, Jou felt the all to familiar sensation of his morning sickness. Making a dash to the bathroom, he barely made it before heaving into the toilet.

Kaiba heard Jou's footsteps running to the bathroom. "I thought they called it morning sickness because that's when it's suppose to happen, not two in the morning." Kaiba thought. When he got to the bathroom to check on Jou, Seto saw him sitting on the edge of the bathtub.

Looking up Jou smiled weakly, "Hopefully, tomorrow I won't have to deal with this."

"You okay?" Seto asked before kneeling down to help his love up and into the bathroom.

"Yeah. Nothing I'm not use to by now."

Helping Jou to the bed, Seto began to undress his pup. He removed Jou's pants, shoes, and socks for him before giving him a pair of silk boxers. Kaiba moved to take off Jou's shirt when the blonde caught his hands.

"It's okay. I can take it from here." Jou stated flatly.

"But…" Kaiba started.

Jou gave a pained look, "I'm sorry." Jou surrendered his hold on the brunette's wrists. "Go ahead."

Seto pulled the shirt off. He knew instantly what was bothering the blonde. For normally not caring about his appearance, Jou had become sensitive of his body. Seto could see the small belly starting to form. He cupped his love's chin, forcing him to look into cobalt blue eyes. "You're beautiful, Jou. I love you."

Tears started forming, "Thanks. I needed to hear that." He took the loose white shirt that Seto offered him and pulled it over his head.

While Jou finished getting ready, Seto got himself dressed. He came to bed wearing only his black silk sleep pants. Sliding in beside Jou, Kaiba wrapped his arms around Jou, holding him close. "You ready to talk about tonight?"

With a heavy sigh, Jou answered, "Yeah. There's nothing much to tell, though."

"If it bothers you, it's something."

"Okay, but it's not pretty. When I was still with my father, he would frequently beat me among other things when he was drunk. One night, he beat me bad enough I had to have been unconscious for a while. I woke up on my floor. All I remembered was him yelling at me for not being a worthy son. He told me I was useless and never should have been born." Jou stopped for a while, calming himself from the memories.

"It's okay. You don't have to tell it all tonight." Seto said, pulling Jou into a reassuring embrace. "I've been in the same place you are now. It's difficult."

Jou simply took Seto's hand and held it as if drawing comfort from the additional contact. "No, I need to do this. I owe you an explanation." Jou continued, "Anyway, after telling me that, I randomly picked a cd. I didn't look at the label. It was Simple Plan. I love the band, and probably always will. But, their one song, "Perfect" struck hard when it came on. Dragon, you never knew this, and I was going to keep it a secret from you. I tried to kill myself that night."

Seto whispered, "And the concert reminded you of that…"

Jou laid his head against his lover's. "Yeah."

Feeling the wetness on his chest again, Seto just stroked the blonde's back until he was sure he was asleep. "Nothing's going to hurt you. I'm going to protect you as well as I've done with Mokuba and I'm also going to protect our baby."

Seto was the first one to wake the next morning. He didn't sleep much. Ever since the allegations on him for killing his father, Seto slept little if at all. Since joining with Jou, he'd slept the best he ever had. He knew someone loved him no matter what his past. As a child, Seto had been raped and abused by his adoptive father. It wasn't much of a secret, except to Mokuba. He had only talked about his past to Jou, and nothing very graphic. He knew how hard it was.

Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapping around his waist broke his reverie. "Thinking hard are you? Hopefully it's something good."

The arms released their hold so that Seto could turn around. "Possibly. Depends on you view." Seto paused. "I think this is a record. You're up before noon."

Jou shoved his dragon playfully. "Oh, be quiet. I couldn't sleep. I was and am kind of nervous. You know. About today."

"It's okay. I am too. I want to see what's going on with you." Seto kissed the messy blonde locks. "We need to get ready. We're scheduled for eight. It's…" Seto looked at his watch, "Almost seven."

Forty-five minutes later, the two teens pulled into the parking lot of the doctor's. He was one of Kaiba's personal doctors and someone that could be trusted to hold his tongue. While Seto talked to the receptionist, Jou took a seat and waited. Within minutes, the nurse came out to get Jou.

"What did you say to them? That's the quickest I've ever been taken." Jou said amazed.

"The quickest you've been taken, huh? We may have to change that tonight, Pup." Kaiba teased.

Blushing, Jou had just enough time to respond, "You know what I meant!" before the doctor came in.

"Hello, Mr. Kaiba. It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time. I'm Doctor Carson." The doctor offered his hand to Seto, which he shook quickly. "And you must be Jounouchi, also nice to meet you. Now, I'd like you to lay back and get comfortable."

The doctor pulled out a flexible tape measure and took various measurements of Jou's body. He then proceeded to weigh the blonde and run through the standard battery of tests. Then he pulled out the ultrasound machine. Seto and Jou knew what was next. They'd finally be able to see their child.

"Everything looks fine, Jounouchi. I'd like to finish today by taking a look and seeing how the baby is doing. It's possible, but not likely that we'll be able to see the sex of the baby. If you want to, that is." The doctor explained.

"That's fine." Jou replied. "Do we want to know, Dragon?"

"I'd rather wait, but it's your decision"

Looking at the screen, waiting, Jou replied, "I think we're going to wait."

"Okay." Doctor Carson said as he applied some cold green gel to Jou's belly. As soon as the gel warmed up enough, the doctor turned on the machine. Guiding the end over Jou's stomach, the doctor found what he was looking for. As he looked at the image on the screen, his face grew troubled. "Jounouchi, have you noticed anything unusual?"

Jou thought hard, "Not really. Just think I'm showing a little early. I thought it was just because I was a little thin."

The doctor nodded. "Jounouchi, I'd like another doctor to take a look at this. Do either of you mind waiting for my friend?"

Both boys asked simultaneously, "What's wrong?"

Nothing is wrong, per se. Just unexpected and I'd like to get a second opinion."

Jou looked guiltily at Seto. He kept repeating over and over to himself, "I hurt the baby at the concert. Seto's going to kill me."

"We'll wait. How long will it be?" Seto answered.

Doctor Carson replied, "He's on call. Probably ten minutes."

"Fine. Who is it?" Kaiba asked, fearing the news would get to the media or to Jou's father.

"You're familiar with her. She was the one to help you out five years ago."

Remembering when Seto himself went to the hospital on an overdose from his adoptive father's abuse, "Doctor King. She's the very best I understand."

"It's the one and only." Doctor Carson responded.

It wasn't even ten minutes before a red-headed doctor came into Jou's room followed by Doctor Carson. "Hello again, Seto. It's been a while."

"Too long, Erin, far too long." Seto smiled.

"Let's see what going on with you Jou. Could you lay back again?" Doctor King asked.

Jou laid back and had the cold gel spread over his stomach again. Both doctors stared at the screen.

"What do you think?" Carson asked.

"I think what you told me was correct." King responded.

Seto stood behind the doctors watching. "We're both in the room. Do you mind filling us in? What's wrong with the baby?"

Doctor Carson turned off the machine as Doctor King turned to Seto and Jou smiling. "Nothing's wrong. In fact, everything is developing great. Your babies look wonderful."

Seto was the first to react. "Babies…more than one?"

Doctor King only smiled. "Congratulations. You've got twins."

"Twins?" Jou sounded as if he didn't believe the doctor.

"Yes, two perfect little ones. I'm guessing neither of you thought about that." Doctor Carson stated.

Both teens looked stunned. "No, we didn't." Seto answered.

"We need to set up another appointment for next month and I have other patients waiting on me." Doctor Carson said, concluding the visit. "We can talk more then."

Everyone stood to leave the room. Seto took a hold of his love's hand as they left. Jou made his appointment as Seto talked with Doctor King and the teens left the office.

"I guess we need to tell Yugi, huh." Jou asked on the way home.

Turning the situation over in his mind, Seto responded, "No, we don't have to. Not yet."

"We should. He'll be happy." Jou reasoned.

"Just wait for a little. I think we need to get use to the idea ourselves." Seto suggested.

Jou turned and looked out the window of the Avalanche. "Are you happy with this?"

"Well, yes. But I'm not sure if we can handle two of them." Seto admitted. "We'll be okay, though. We have time, friends, and each other. It will be alright."

The fell silent for awhile. Then, out of the blue Jou asked, "Seto, can we get some raspberries?"

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

That's all for Chapter 13. Sorry it took three parts, but that was the most logical way for me to handle everything in it. Hopefully, I can have more fun torturing Jou and Seto. =) Just entering the fourth month, and Jou's getting cravings. I'm SO evil hehehe…

Anyway, as a small "request", I'd like to offer any artist who'd like to take a crack at illustrating some of this to go ahead. I'll give you credit and create a link to your picture. Also, if anyone has any crazy things for Jou to crave, give me some ideas. I want to have fun with this now. I do have a picture that gave me inspiration for this fic. I'll link it so you can see it. As always, leave a review! I love them. If not, hope you enjoyed what you read, and see you next chapter. Ja ne!

Thank You's:

Elisabeth*Marie*Rose: I'd love to have kids, too, but I'm afraid of everything. And, yes, The Juliana Theory is a very good band. I recommend anything from their Emotion Is Dead album.

Black Angel Reaper: Yes, well, knowing and what is done is two different things. And, nope. Yami and Yugi are happy, horny, little duelists. =)

MacDuff's Mistress: Thanks

Mimiheart: Don't worry about Jou. He'll get what's coming to him. =)

Redkite1019: Okay, I'll ask a dumb question. Where are you from? And, nothing has happened yet to the bundle of joy. =) Thanks for reviewing, and give Juliana a listen to.

Hikari Raine: Why are you guys obsessed with Jou hurling his guts out? =) As I've said before, Jou's just beginning to find out what women go through. Give the poor kid time to really get going. I'm honestly feeling bad for Seto at this point. He's going for a rollercoaster ride that I doubt he's going to want to be on. Congrats on the account, too. =)

Star Light Shadow: Okay, I'll read yours, if you read the rest of mine! =) Nothing happened to Jou in the bathroom. You know how you don't always look the best after you've been crying and things…well…yeah. =)

Dtamerx: Yes I enjoy your reviews, goofy! They make me laugh and I need that every now and again. =) I'm glad you enjoyed the concert. Go find a place to get The Juliana Theory. They're amazing artists from my hometown. *takes the Seto cookies* But…but…you can't eat something that cute! Thanks, they'll be great with milk. =)

There was someone that said about baby or babies. Well, you were right. They've got more than one. I believe that person was from mediaminer.org. I forget your name, but you did a good job guessing, unfortunately, there's no prizes. =( sorry.

To any who didn't review, hope you enjoyed it, and to any who did and I missed you, I'm sorry. I don't mean to, but I do post these kind of late, or when I'm dead tired. I appreciate ever review I get, and thank you again.
