~Previous Chapter~

"Seto, I can't deal with this. I can't worry about getting hit for something petty. I need time away, the doctor says I need to relax. She says I'm dehydrated and stressed. That's what's causing the contractions."

Seto buried his face in his hands. "Jou, I'm sorry. Where are you staying?"

"My dad's old apartment." Jou sat up and grabbed a towel to wipe his stomach off. Seto beat him to it.

"Jou, please come back. I don't want you there by yourself. Nobody would be there to help you." Seto gently wiped off the gel, causing a small moan to escape Jou's lips. "At least let me try to make it up to you. To earn your trust back."

"Seto…" Jou growled as the brunette wiped lower on Jou's stomach.

"Come back tonight. Be there by eight. I know I can make this up to you." With that, Seto put the towel down, gave Jou a short kiss, and walked from the exam room, leaving the doctor to finish checking Jou.

~Chapter 16 B~

It was just after 9:30 the night of Jou's appointment. He'd given Seto the benefit of the doubt, and was currently relaxing after some of the most delicious chicken, home made mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables he'd ever had. Mokuba was with Yami and Yugi, bothering them for the night, leaving Seto and Jou alone.

While the brunette cleared the plates, Jou leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. The last time he'd been in this room was the time before he'd walked out. Out of habit, he rested his hands across his belly. As if sensing his nervousness, the twins were being unusually quiet. Despite still being angry with Seto, Jou couldn't help but think that his husband and their twins could possibly share a birthday. That thought made him smile slightly. However, a pair of warm lips being pressed to his own broke the blonde from his thoughts.

"I was beginning to think you fell asleep on me."

"No, " Jou replied. "Just thinking."

Seto sat next to his pup. "About what?"

"Things." Came the reply. "Mostly about us. Seto, I don't know if I can, or want to, continue carrying them. I mean they've already caused more than their share of problems with my old man, now between us…" his thoughts fell into silence.

Seto reached out to place his hand over one of Jou's. The blonde flinched away from the contact. "I'm sorry. I deserve that." Sighing, the brunette looked into the hurt amber eyes before him, "Jou, I don't know what I can do to make it up to you. Let me try tonight. If you don't believe that I'm honestly sorry, then…well, you're free to do what you feel is right. Be it leave me, have them and raise them on your own, or…abort them." Kaiba choked on the last words.

Jou only nodded, not trusting his voice. He watched Seto get up. "Jou, meet me in our room in ten minutes. I won't hurt you, I promise."

When Jou followed ten minutes later, he was greeted by the scent of warm cinnamon coming from their room. Opening the door, he caught Seto lighting one last candle. Their room was entirely lit by candlelight. Everywhere was illuminated by a dancing glow. If the candles did take Jou's breath away, Seto surely would. He had changed into a pair of dark blue silk pants with a silver dragon embroidered down one leg. The matching top was left unbuttoned to reveal his toned chest. Another silver dragon was embroider on the top to look as if it was laying on Seto's shoulder with its long tail wrapping around his back.

"Seto…what's all this for?" Jou asked in awe. Never had his Dragon gone to such lengths in preparation.

The flickering light gave Kaiba a comforting glow. "I wanted to show you that I'm sorry. After all, that's why you're here. I'm sorry for being an ass and causing you pain." Seto walked over to the door. He lifted a hand to gently caress the yellowing bruise he'd given Jou. "And I'm sorry for putting you all in danger."

As his hand lowered, Kaiba took Jou's hand and led him to the bed. Pointing a small remote towards the wall, music filled the room. Jou however, misread the intentions.

"Seto, I don't want…"His argument quickly ended as his lips were caught in a soft kiss.

"We're not. I don't know if it's a good idea with you being stressed as it is. Just relax, please? Enjoy this." Seto whispered.

~Turn out the lights

And close the door

Put your head on the pillow,

Let me keep you warm.~

Sitting on the bed, Seto gently pulled Jou down on top of him. Knowing that any move he made could send Jou running from him, he proceeded cautiously. Kaiba put a hand on Jou's shoulder. Seeing that the contact was okay, he slid the hand down to Jou's chest. Eliciting a small moan, Kaiba continued down to the hem of Jou's shirt. After removing the cloth, he leaned in to give his pup another kiss. Feeling cool air against his skin, Jou shivered. Pulling the blonde into a warm embrace, Kaiba reclined back against the pillows, pulling Jou to rest against him.

~I wanna run my hands

Across your face

Lying beside you

Is still the perfect place.~

Running his hand through the golden locks, Kaiba kissed his way down Jou's neck. Reaching the juncture between his neck and shoulder, Seto bit gently drawing blood, then soothing the abused skin with his tongue.

"So right…"Kaiba purred, enjoying having his love in his arms again.

As Seto's hand caressed Jou's cheek, the blonde's hand found Kaiba's. Lacing his fingers with the brunette's, Jou laid his head back against Seto's shoulder and moaned softly.

Whispering in his pup's ear, Kaiba purred, "Jou, I'm glad you're still here with me. I love you and I need you."

~Babe in every way,

You're still beautiful to me.

I just have to say,

You're still beautiful to me.~

Carefully releasing his fingers from Jou's, Kaiba placed a hand on his pup's stomach and leaned in to softly kiss him. Before pulling completely away, Seto whispered, "My beautiful Katsuya." He watched as a pink flush colored Jou's cheeks.

~Lay back baby, and close your eyes.

Let me do everything that your heart desires.

When I think of the years making love to you,

There still ain't nothing that I'd rather do.~

Seto gently pushed Jou to his back. The blonde's eyes closed as Seto opened a bottle of lotion. As Kaiba's warm hands worked the lotion in, Jou growled, "Seto…you said no sex…"

"Pup, I never planned on it." Seto assured. "However, if that's what you want from me…I'll gladly fulfill that wish." Kaiba knew that his future quite possibly rested upon every action of the night.

~There's something I can't deny.

You sure know how to move this guy.

Babe in every way,

You're still beautiful to me.~

No matter what Jounouchi did, in Seto's mind it turned him on. That was the reasoning behind all the drawings of the blonde. By drawing, Seto released enough energy so that all of his free time wouldn't be spent in the bathroom. To Kaiba, the figure before him was perfect. Nothing could ever best the god currently lying on Seto's bed.

I just have to say, you're still beautiful to me.

(And it still feels good) it still feels good,

It still runs deep.

When you get close babe, I still get weak.~

"Jou, open your eyes. Look at me." Kaiba commanded. Jou's eyes fluttered open, revealing lust filled amber orbs. "Pup, you'd make every god and goddess jealous of your beauty."

To Seto, this all felt right. Admiring the golden god laying before him, Seto's heart swelled with pride knowing that he was partly to blame for Jou's current condition. He felt an intense desire to protect Jou and the lives he was carrying. As long as the blonde was near, he would have an invisible hold on Seto.

~Cause in these arms is where you belong.

We're still going strong,

So glad that you came along.

Hey babe, you're still number one.~

"Seto?" Jou asked.

Looking down lovingly, he answered, "Yes, Pup?"

"Can you just hold me? Please?"

Seto maneuvered himself behind Jou and allowed the blonde to rest his head over his heart. Wrapping his arms around Jou, Kaiba stated, "Katsuya, I want to be the one to make you happy always. You're my reason for life."

~Baby can't you see,

You're still beautiful to me.

You'll always be…

So beautiful to me~

As both boys began drifting off to sleep, Seto vowed to himself that no matter what life threw at him and his Puppy, that Jou would always remain beautiful in his eyes. Seto put a hand on the twins. He could feel them moving a little.

"Seto?" Jou asked, sounding unsure.

"What's wrong, Pup?"

"Can you get me some chocolate ice cream with honey and peanut butter?"

Seto smiled. "Does this mean you're staying?"

Thank you's:

Devilburns: I'm trying to get this out as often as I can. I kind of want to have it going along with the actual months, too =) Welcome to the fic, and thanks.

Thearch: *hands you some Tylenol* I'm sorry you got a headache...I don't intend to cause readers pain. If I did, I'd write Anzu into this (I'm not a fan of hers). I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's nice to read things like that.

Flame Swordswoman: Yes, our little puppy is 6 months along. And I'm thinking that in the future, Seto would be wise not to go against any of Jou's wishes. =)

Star Light Shadow: I think Jou would know what would be safe and what wouldn't be. I mean, if it hurts, don't do it.

Angel Reaper: I think an overprotective Seto is kinda cute. Nothing "special" in this chapter, but the next one will have something special.

Hikari Rayne: I have no idea what I was doing when I wrote Seto hitting Jou. I probably let you down as to having fun with this, but I thought a little fluff would fit in okay. *shrugs* And I did have fun writing it. =)

Kakarots-Frying-Pan: That's an interesting name…I like it. Simple Plan is just adorable. I have to ask…how's this different? I've been wondering that since your reply. To me, it seems like every other one. I guess that's looking at it through a writer's eyes. =)

Rowan Girl: Yes, a fight. But don't worry, this chapter should have made up for it.

RedFox: Sorry for altering your idea of the show. =) I just think that Seto is a little harsh on Jou. I know this is gonna be stupid…what's cyoa?

Blackrosethorn: Yes, the real world sucks immortally. I'm waiting on Mage of the Black Flames to reply…maybe I stunned her and she's laying on the floor twitching…*looks over shoulder paranoid* =)

To anyone I didn't catch, thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to review. For those who didn't leave a review…I don't bite. Not hard anyway. Bring your part gear next time, there's gonna be a baby shower soon! Ja!
