~Previous Chapter~

The twins began moving as much as they could in their ever-shrinking quarters. Jou moaned from Seto's touch and the movements within him, "Dragon, please…" he growled, arching into the contact.

"Not tonight, Pup. You've had a long day, and I don't think you'd enjoy it too much."

Giving a frustrated sigh, Jou leaned over and was content with resting his head on Seto's shoulder. "Fine. You owe me one, though." With a yawn, he laced his fingers with Seto's long ones. As they drifted off to sleep, Jou moved their hands to the middle of his stomach and allowed the soft kicks to lull them to their dreams.

~Chapter 18~

Jou was in his father's basement again, chained to the wall like before. This time, he was totally naked. Testing the strength of the chains, Jou pulled as hard as he could, finding they held fast, he slumped against the cold wall. As his eyes slid shut, he heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Shit!" he thought. "My old man's dead, he can't be alive after what Yami did to him…"

Feet appeared on the top step. Each step seemed to increase the size of the pit in Jou's stomach. Watching as more of his father became visible, the blonde could tell his father was very angry.

"I can see the fear in your eyes, bitch." His father growled menacingly. "You thought your millionaire boyfriend and that marijuana haired (1) freak killed me…you all were wrong!"

Shaking all over, Jou sputtered, "But…you can't…Yami said…there's no way you could have survived."

"Believe me, I thought I was dead. However, I couldn't leave things between us unfinished. I came back for one reason." His father walked toward him. Putting his hands on Jou's almost eighth month stomach, he finished, "Two things, actually."

Instinctively, Jou moved to protect the twins, but the metal chains wouldn't reach. "You'll never get to hurt them. Yami and Seto will come like they did before." Jou said to convince himself, more than threaten his father.

Smiling sickly, his father admitted, "I honestly hope they both come. They can watch as I take what they were fighting to save, then I'll claim your boyfriend's life as well as yours and your best friend."

"Husband. Seto's my husband." Jou corrected absently.

His father looked surprised, "So he had the balls to marry you. At least he has SOME class."

At that comment, Jou had enough. Having his hands bound, he did the first thing that came to mind; he spit in his father's face. Surprising himself, Jou simply stared at his father. The older man was in shock. When he'd recovered, his face had turned and angry red. "You little bitch." He drawled slowly. "You still haven't learned who you Master is yet. Pity, just another lesson I'm going to have to teach you." Drawing out a slender key from his pocket, Jou's father released his son's arms.

Shaking his arms to regain feeling in them Jou glared at his father. If looks could kill, the next one Jou gave his father would have sent him to the underworld three times over. His father had placed the same dog collar as before around the blonde's neck and attached a leash to it.

"We're going to train you in my room. Then, if you're a good bitch, you can come back down here. Be very good, and I may consider not chaining you back up." His father teased.

As Jou was led from the basement, he wondered if Seto was going to save him this time. Reaching his father's bedroom, Jou was chained to the bed on his back. His father sat between his spread legs and started stroking the swollen globe in front of him. "To think, it would be my only son to carry my grandchildren." his father whispered to himself.

The blonde was moaning Seto's name softly as the twins responded to their treatment and Jou's emotions. He finally realized just how long it had been since Seto had been intimate with him and it was driving him crazy. Jou's father brushed a thumb over Jou's skin, causing him to cry Seto's name involuntarily. Seconds later, stars exploded behind his eyes.

"You won't want to scream his name again if you have any hope of keeping your puppies alive." His father vowed as he pulled his closed fist back to strike Jou again. Seeing his son cringe, he smiled demonically. Releasing the blonde's arms and legs, he grabbed the leash. "Get on the floor. Kneel beside the bed and put your head on the mattress."

Slowly, Jou did as he was told. Not moving fast enough to suit his father's demands, because he received a hard kick to his stomach. Jou grabbed his belly, praying the twins were okay.

"Get your hands off your puppies." His father ordered, aiming another kick to his son's swollen middle.

Between waves of nausea, Jou chocked out, "Stop it you bastard. You're going to kill them."

One final kick sent Jou retching on the floor. "That's exactly what I intend. When they're eliminated, you can watch me do the same to your boy-toy." His father laughed evilly.

"Jou, come on…wake up!" Seto was shaking the blonde gently, "Damn it Jou, open your eyes!" It was apparent something was wrong with his love and Seto was afraid whatever it was would affect the babies

Slowly, Jou's cries quieted and his eyes began fluttering open. "S…Seto…" then, remembering what he'd seen he grabbed the brunette tightly and started crying, "He killed them…I'm sorry…I couldn't prevent it…"

"Shhh…it's okay. What happened, Jou?" Seto asked, cradling the blonde close.

Tears were flowing freely from Jou's amber eyes, "My old man…he's not dead yet. Yami was wrong. He chained me up again, and took me to his room...he kicked them…"

Seto pulled Jou even closer, trying to calm him. "Baby, nothing happened. It was a bad dream. You're fine and so are the twins. Nobody hurt you." He started stroking Jou's sweat-dampened hair. "Calm down, Love, please? I don't think it's good for you to get worked up."

After a few more long minutes of crying and shaking, Seto felt Jou relax against him. He started rubbing the twins, trying to calm them as well. They were moving quite a bit more than they had been in weeks and that bothered him. Worn out from the emotional ride he'd just been on, Jou had fallen back into a troubled sleep and his dream seemed to continue.

"Get on your feet. It's no fun tormenting you when you're crying like a baby." His father insulted him. Dragging Jou down to the basement again, his father shoved him down the stairs and locked the door. Jou managed to catch himself so he only fell down the last two stairs; he crawled to the wall and rested against it.

Leaning against the stone wall, Jou put one hand on the twins. He felt vainly, trying to feel for the tiniest movement. After a time, he gave up. Not a kick, not a flutter, nothing. "Damn you. Damn you to hell you bastard!" he thought to his father. "If there is a hell, I hope you die in it. Slowly and painfully."

Burying his face in his hands, Jou began crying harder. "Seto, I'm sorry. I couldn't save them. He was too much. Forgive me."

Seto was roused by Jou's cries of sorry and wanting forgiveness from him. "Jou, come on…wake up." He started shaking him again gently.

Jou began to slowly come back to the waking world. "Dragon…" he blinked a few times. "I lost them. My father caused me to lose them!" He started crying again.

"Jou, you were dreaming again, Love. Everything's fine. Here…" he took the blonde's hand and held it on his stomach. "See? They're still there, and very much alive." Seto knew they were moving, he could see the bumps they made with an elbow or heel while Jou was dreaming.

Looking ashamed, Jou wiped away his tears. "I'm sorry…it was so real…I thought…"

"It's okay. I've had bad dreams before, too. I know what it's like."

"Seto, will you hold me? Please? I don't want to be alone right now." Jou admitted.

Smiling at his puppy, Seto stroked Jou's hair, "I will, but I want to get you something first." He said, getting up from the warm bed. Before he could see Jou's upset look, he made his way to the kitchen, and heated up some green tea. Jou had taken to liking it, and figured it might calm the blonde's frazzled nerves. Returning to bed, Jou looked more in control of himself now and even smiled at Seto's return.

"Here, Pup. Thought this might help." He gave the mug to Jou, and then climbed in next to him, wrapping his arms around him.

"Thanks. Seto, what are your dreams about?" he asked after several minutes of silence.

"Nothing important. Just relax. Someday I'll tell you." He yawned.

Jou finished his drink, and then cuddled up to the blue-eyed teen. "I'm sorry for everything." He whispered as sleep came to claim him again.

"It's okay, Love. Just relax. I'm not going to let you have any more bad dreams tonight. I'm right here with you." He held Jou's hand comfortingly as he watched his angel fall asleep again.

Thank you's:

Dark Sanctuary: Maybe I'll take a look at what Yami and his light have been doing with those closed doors. And I would think Yugi's very well practiced at what he does. =). Thanks for saying the fic is great!

Lil Miss Kitty: If you haven't reviewed, it's all good. You did now! =) It always nice to hear people are enjoying your fics. Hope this keeps you interested till next time.

DemonandGoddess: I don't know how you miss the great stories. I'm honestly flattered that you say this is the best Mpreg you've read and that it's one of the best Seto/Jou fics. I thank you for saying the very nice things. Hope you continue to enjoy the fic.

Felidae: I just thought that mentally seeing the gang play the games would be entertaining. As for friends with strange senses of humor…are you sure we don't know the same people? =) Anyway, glad to see the review, and hope you enjoy the rest of it.

Hikari Rayne: Yeah, the first part of the baby shower was kind of tame. Just consider that as my brain gong on vacation! I was planning on another part to this…it will be explained at the end of this chapter so I can see what everyone thinks. But I would like to see their parenting skills, or lack thereof. =) And for chapter 25, at least you weren't blitzed enough to type like it!

Angel Reaper: Another Bakura/Ryou fan…I must do something about you guys. I've never been to a baby shower, but I'm sure there'd be really good food there. Almost always is when little old ladies are making it. Till next time!

Star Light Shadow: Don't beat Yami!!! He's too adorable to beat. Besides, it's a waste of a good lamp post. I must hurt you if I see you. That Ramune is too addictive. Thanks for the review! *must go find Ramune, must find Ramune* =) For chapter 25, I'd like to see you play those game. Now...go find a Yami, and you can play! =) And when you find one, get me one too.

Joey Baby: I would think…feel sorry for Ryou. You screw up and you'll find yourself playing a Shadow Game.

Puffin: You're not dumb. Had you not asked, then you'd be dumb. Anyway, Mpreg is just an abbreviation (I guess) of Male Pregnancy. Thank you for the nice comment on the story. Getting those keep me writing more. =)

Kaira Hesoka: Well, I've heard sex is safe unless the doctor says otherwise, or there's pain. *shrugs* I've never been pregnant, so I wouldn't know. Thanks for saying it was a cute chapter. I would like to have my husband do something like the ring thing, and I know a lady who's husband did do the dog-tag thing…being a military man.

MacDuff's Mistress: Yup…beer and Yami's. Can't beat it! =)

Flame Swordswoman: Yes…be astounded by all the fluff…=) My ideas, I think they come from my head. I see them on TV and stuff, then my mind warps them into the games you've read. Quite frightening, really. Thanks!

Kakarots-Frying-Pan: Everyone seems anxious for the birth. I am too, but I'm trying to keep it in real time as much as I can…so….you guys will all have to wait till October! *hides from rabid reviewers with weapons*

Thanks again to everyone, and the offer is still good on requesting Delta's picture. Just send me an email or message me. I like getting random IM's from people! As for the second part to this. I was considering doing one for Yami and Yugi, considering there's been several requests for it. Seto and Jou would still be in it, just not as the main focus. If you want to be heard, vote!!! Well, put it in a review and we'll see what happens. Until next time, enjoy!
