~Previous Chapter~

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?"

~Chapter 17~

The day of Jou's shower dawned hot and sunny. For the last three weeks, Seto had been trying to spend as much time with Jou as possible, without raising any suspicion as to where he kept disappearing to in the early evening. Seto wanted to keep the shower a secret for as long as he possibly could. Unable to sleep, Seto was up. Having nothing to do, he was standing by the window in his bedroom.

"Jou, you're part in this adventure is almost over. Now it's going to be a joint effort…we both will have to figure this out." Seto thought, watching his puppy sleep.

He turned away from Jou and looked out the window. He saw a young boy delivering papers and wondered if one day his child would want to do that. With a sigh, Seto though on a conversation he'd had with Yami. Apparently, Yugi had been hinting at having a child. From the Pharaoh's summary of their long nighttime talks, Yugi's mind was all but made up on the topic. Yesterday, Yami had approached Seto as to the cost of the operations and if the CEO would let Yugi be seen by the doctors that Jou was seeing. Thankfully, Seto was saved from answering, because the little light decided to enter the room at that moment, saving the blue-eyed teen.

Lost in thought, Seto never heard the footsteps behind him. Feeling a pair of warm arms wrap around him, and getting a light kick in his back, the brunette was allowed enough room to turn in the embrace.

"Why do you look like you're about to fire someone, Dragon?"

Leaning in to place a kiss on Jou's forehead, he responded, "Just have a few things on my mind, that's all." Putting a hand on Jou's belly, he asked, "How are they?"

"Awake." replied the blonde. "They're fine, just taking up more and more room, as usual."

Smiling, Seto pressed, "How are you, then, Pup?"

Laying his head against Seto's chest, Jou murmured, "A little tired, but okay."

"Good, we've got some things to do today, and I'm going to need your help." Seto lied.

"What can I do? I'm not into business stuff." Jou asked curiously.

Quickly thinking on his feet, Seto replied, "You've got two good arms. I need some help filling out paperwork."

"Oh, okay. Give me a half hour to get ready."

Twenty minutes later, Jou found Seto waiting in the living room. Jou had managed to squeeze himself into a pair of black skintight jeans and a white silk shirt with black Japanese kanji decorating it.

"Ready?" Jou smiled impishly.

All Seto could do was stare. Jounouchi looked completely seductive at that moment. "Yeah…you look beautiful…" he trailed.

Smiling at the compliment, Jou answered, "Thanks."

Taking the blonde's hand, Seto lead him out to the Avalanche. Helping Jou into the passenger seat, Kaiba was rewarded with a nice view of his Pup's rear before climbing in himself and fastening his seatbelt. Kaiba turned the engine over and made his way down the long driveway. Jou started rambling about the babies until he finally realized that they weren't headed toward Kaiba Corp.

"Seto…where are we going?"

Smirking, he replied, "It's a surprise."

Within ten minutes Kaiba pulled up to the game shop. They'd taken the long way there. As Jou slid out of the truck he saw the decorations in the windows. "What did you guys plan?" He asked suspiciously.

"Just a little party, Pup." Seto led the blonde through the shop and up to the main area of the building. Opening the door, Jou saw almost all his friends and pink and blue decorations everywhere. Seto directed Jou to sit on the couch and left to grab drinks. Everyone crowded around Jou and tried to talk to him all at once. Bakura was the first one brave (or stupid) enough to try to touch Jou's stomach.

"Come on Jounouchi, let's see them." The Tomb Robber growled.

"Shut up Bakura, he's not an animal at the zoo! He's not on display!" Tea ordered as she smacked him in the head.

Tristan put an arm around Tea's shoulders, "Leave him alone. He's sort of behaving himself."

Ryou sat beside Jou. "Actually, if you wouldn't mind Jounouchi, I think all of us would like to see the little ones."

Bakura, Tristan, and Tea nodded in agreement. Seeing that everyone was excited and interested, Jou began unbuttoning his shirt. Laying it open, each of his friends put a hand on the swollen globe in front of them. The twins hadn't been moving too much up to that point, but started kicking as if they knew they were the center of attention.

Tea reacted first. "Oh cool!" She squealed. "Jou, congratulations."

"Way to go, bud!" Tristan said as he gently punched the blonde's shoulder.

Kaiba returned with Yami, Yugi, and the drinks. He received the group's congratulations as well before taking a seat on the floor in front of Jou. Bakura was now talking to Yami, apparently unnerved by the whole situation while Ryou was still talking to Jou.

Yugi had snuck off and returned carrying a blue ball of string. "Okay guys!" He called, gathering everyone into the living room. "Yami, Seto, and I have come up with some games to play. The first one we're going to play is to see who can take this string and guesstimate Jou's belly without touching him." Yugi gave the directions.

Yami added, "And so nobody can claim it's rigged, the three of us won't be allowed to play." The Pharaoh walked to Tristan first holding scissors and the yarn. He cut the yarn where Tristan wanted, then moved to Tea, Bakura, and Ryou.

"Okay, Jou, I hope you won't take offense to this part of the game." Yugi prayed. "I need you to stand up so that we can take the yarn and see who got the closest."

Yami took Ryou's string first. As he pulled the length around Jou's belly, everyone could see the albino was short by several inches. Ryou blushed a faint pink as he reasoned, "Well, I didn't want to go overboard and make him feel bad…"

Throwing Ryou a thumbs up, Jou grinned, "Eh, it's all cool. I'm not worried what you guys think. It's in fun."

Next, Yami took Tea's string. For some reason, she had become very interested in a spot on the game shop's floor. As Yami pulled the string, the rest of the group could see why. For as much as Ryou had missed his guess, Tea had made up for it. The yarn was at least seven inches too much.

"I'm sorry, Jou. I didn't mean anything by it!" She apologized quickly.

"Tea, it's fine. It's just a silly game. Besides, it's different when it's your friends picking on you. Don't apologize." Jou assured.

Bakura's attempt was a little closer. His yarn was only an inch too long. Considering his reaction from feeling the twins kick before, even Yami stared at the Tomb Robber with wide-eyed stares.

"Stop leering at me!" Bakura glared. "It's not like he's carrying a small city in there." He ducked as Seto attempted to whack him with a pillow.

"Okay," Yami regained everyone's attention. "Unless Tristan comes closer, Bakura's the winner." Taking the last piece of yarn, Yami pulled it around Jou. The ends of the yarn touched each other almost perfectly.

"Wow, Tristan…you're good, bud." Jou commented, surprised that his longest friend won.

Yugi walked over to Tristan with a blue wrapped box. "Here you are. Open it now, so we can see what you got."

Carefully unwrapping the box, Tristan reached in and pulled out a chocolate molded pacifier and rattle. "That's cute Yugi. Good idea for a baby shower game prize." He was embarrassed but at the same time pleased that he won a game at his best friend's party.

After everyone took a break to get some more food and drink, Seto started the next game. "Okay. This is one that I came up with." He set a baby doll, four cloth diapers and eight safety pins on a table. "The object is to see which team can diaper the `baby' the fastest. However, each person can only use one hand, thus making you work as one unit."

Looking at Tristan and Tea, Kaiba motioned for them to come to the table first. "Okay you two. I'm going to tie your free hands together just to make sure that you don't use them." After tying their free hands, Seto picked up a stopwatch. "You ready?" Both teens nodded. "Then…go!" Kaiba started the timer.

Both started trying to do everything on their own. Tea realized they were getting nowhere and started giving orders. Within three minutes, they had the diaper on and pinned.

"Hey Tristan, you taking orders from your woman now?" Bakura jabbed.

"At least she doesn't run in mortal terror from me." He shot back.

Kaiba brought the arguing to a halt. "Bakura, since you're enjoying running at the mouth, you and Ryou can go next."

As the two albinos approached the table, Bakura glared and growled at the CEO. Tying their hands back, Seto picked up the stopwatch again. "If you're ready…go!" Seto watched in amusement as Bakura wanted to do things his way, despite never having to diaper a baby in his life. Poor Ryou was trying to convince his dark half that he was going about it all wrong. After five minutes of arguing, Seto stopped the two for fear of Bakura stabbing either Seto for making him play the game, or Ryou for being incompetent.

"Okay, Pharaoh. It's your turn…" Kaiba grinned evilly. He'd been waiting to see how well Yami would do with this game, especially if Yugi was really serious about wanting to have one.

Okay, that's it for this one. I'm leaving the rest of the shower for the next chapter. I wanted to get this out so all of you wouldn't think I abandoned the story.

And I asked for any artist to draw their idea of this story. One has taken the challenge so far (anyone else is more than welcome to draw). Here's Delta VT's drawing of Seto and Jou: img.photobucket.com/albums/v187/DeltaVT/JouxSeto_Finished.jpg. (Copy and paste if it doesn't link to it automatically.) If you would like her work, please contact her, or send me an email and I will see what we can do for you. Please visit her place, and leave some feedback.

Thank You's:

Flame Swordswoman: 7th month. It doesn't seem that long. We're going to have fun with these last months. You bet your butt. =)

Angel Reaper: I'm planning on having some more tender moments before the twins come. The something special is the shower. I figured it would be something special for Jou…I dunno. Never had one personally. =)

Joey Baby: I think they're cute together, too. That's why I write mostly about them. =)

Puffin: I'm really trying to get this updated as often as I can. Work and things gets in the way, but I haven't forgotten about this one.

Hikari Rayne: I actually was getting some flak because I was having them have too much sex. So…I found another way for them to be intimate, and not having the need for sex. And anyway…fluff is a good thing. =)

Macbeth's Mistress: Yes…yes, our puppy is staying. *thinks* Wouldn't it suck if he didn't? Then the twins wouldn't have a daddy…=( Not good.

Star Light Shadow: I think you were the one to recommend the Ramune. If not, sorry. But I found it and it is very addictive! I hate work too. I use to get the night shift, but now they have me working 3-11pm. That SO screws up your day. Anyway, here's the next little bit, and don't work too hard.

Dark Guardian 24: Thank you very much. I'm glad to see a new reviewer!

Elizabeth: I'm glad you are enjoying the story. Sorry if I come off a little rude, but your English sounds like you're learning it. Are you from another country? If you are, that is so cool! Thanks for the review and enjoy this chapter *winks*

Jonez: Aww…don't be afraid. Write I say! =) As to what the babies will look like…human. Alien babies are too hard to explain. *grins* I honestly haven't given it too much thought.

Hellz Flames: Here's another chapter for you. Hope you enjoy it as much as the others.

J Mame-chan: I don't know what Seto was thinking. I would assume that if he's willing to do anything to win a duel, he could fly off the handle like the rest of us…*shrugs* I don't know. =)

Mage of Black Flames: Erk! I don't wanna have my internal organs ripped out alphabetically!!!!!!!!!! *Runs and hides* I honestly didn't mean to insult you…oh forget it…. I'm screwed no matter what. =) My dying request is that you allow me to live long enough to finish this story.

Sretsbew: Glad you enjoyed it. The twins will be a good, if not amusing mix of Seto and Jou.

Anyone I missed, I'm sorry. I don't mean to. There are so many of you at times, that I do lose track of what chapters you've reviewed for. Hope you enjoyed the short chapter, and the others should be longer, but this one was really hard to write for some reason.
