It Started With Snow

Warnings: Mpreg, yaoi, and possibly language.

Notes: Just to make this clear, Yami has his own body, is not a spirit, and has gained several inches on Yugi. Cause I know this is going to come up if I didn't do this.

~Previous Chapter~

Doctor Carson looked directly at Seto. "Kaiba, I don't think Yugi's going to be able to carry any. We can't just implant one egg and pray it takes. If I recall correctly Jou had six eggs implanted in him. The more eggs, the greater chance of one taking."

Seto glared. "Why are you telling US this?"

"Because, I hate saying this. If a multiple pregnancy resulted with Yugi, his body may not respond well and it could endanger his life as well as any babies he'd carry."

Jou jumped in. "Damn it, there's got to be something you can do. All he wants is a chance at a family!" A hand on Jou's shoulder prevented any further arguments.

"There is one alternative." Doctor Carson offered. "There should be no problem with Yami having the procedure."

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

In the exam room across the hall, Yugi was perched on his dark half's lap, playing with Yami's puzzle. "What if something goes wrong and I can't carry one?" he asked, looking frightened.

"We'll deal with it." Yami assured. For now, let's just hear the doctor out. We don't even have to make a decision today."

Yugi put his head on Yami's shoulder. "I love you…" he took one of Yami's hands in his. "You're always there for me."

Doctor Carson came in then, scaring Yugi. "Well, I can see if you two do have children, there won't be any lack of love to go around."

Yami grinned, "Not with Yugi. I don't think I ever heard him say he didn't like something."

"That's not true. You know I hate almonds." Yugi scowled.

"Okay, there's one thing he hates." Yami laughed at his light.

Doctor Carson handed both men a packet of papers. "If you guys could fill these out, it's just a basic medical history form. I'll be back shortly to collect them."

Yugi started filling his out immediately. Yami however, just looked at the sheet. "Yugi, what do I do. You guys know as much as I do about my past."

"Well, you know about yourself, right?" Yami nodded. "Fill that in first, then we'll go from there.

Both forms were completed by the time the doctor came back. Collecting the forms, she proceeded to the next part of the screening. "I need to take some physical information. Who's going to be first?"

"I will." Yugi stood up. "I'm the one that wants to do this, I'll go first." Doctor Carson took Yugi's weight, height, blood pressure, and drew a vial of blood. Watching the needle go into Yugi's arm made the Pharaoh a little queasy. He wasn't fond of needles back in Ancient Egypt, and he still wasn't fond of them in the modern world.

Soon it was Yami's turn for the drawing of blood. "I will not pass out, I will not pass out." He kept repeating to himself. "Yugi is depending on me to be here for him." Feeling the needle pierce the skin, Yami looked anywhere but at his arm. When the needle was removed, Yami let out a long mental sigh. Forgetting to close the mind link, Yugi heard it and questioned his dark half.

//What's wrong, Love?// Yugi asked.

Putting on a fake smile, Yami replied, /Nothing. I didn't realize I was holding my breath./ Truthfully, he felt like he'd just called Kaiba's Ultimate Dragon a sissy.

//Okay, relax, Yami.// Yugi grinned.

Doctor Carson brought them out of their private conversation. "If you give me twenty minutes, I can tell you everything at that time." As an afterthought, she added, "Mr. Kaiba and Jounouchi will be sent over to keep you company."

As promised, Jou waddled through the door and took Yami's place next to Yugi. Kaiba stood by the door, glaring at a spot on the floor. He knew what was going to happen with the results. Yami was still sitting on the exam table, not trusting his legs.

"Hey Yami, you okay?" Jou asked, "You don't look so hot."

"I'm fine." He lied. The Pharaoh might have gotten away with it, had Seto not stopped glaring at the floor. "Now, tell us the truth. What's really wrong?" the CEO asked, knowing it had to be something major to rattle the Pharaoh this badly.

Yami became very interested in the fastenings on his bracers. "I'm terrified of needles." He mumbled.

"Come again?" said Jou, not believing his ears.

"I said, I'm scared of needles." He said, not meeting anyone's eyes.

Yugi broke the silence that had fallen on the room. "So? It's nothing to be ashamed of. I bet every one of us is scared of something. I am."

Yami looked at Yugi in shock. "What are you afraid of, Aibou?"

"Mice." The small duelist looked proud. "We got them in the Game Shop pretty bad one year. I woke up and found two in my room, on my bed. I didn't sleep for weeks in there."

Yugi looked at Kaiba who turned red. "Death." He stated. "Especially with Jou carrying our twins. I don't want to think what would happen if I died…" he trailed off.

Yami looked at Jou, "What scares you, Jounouchi?"

"Thunderstorms." He shivered at the thought. As if sensing his fear, the twins moved, causing Jou to catch his breath. He began trying to massage them when Yugi asked, "Jou, can I? Please?" The small duelist motioned towards the blonde's belly.

Jou leaned back in the chair, giving his friend easier access. "Sure." He said, happy that someone wanted to help. "Besides, he'll be taking care of them when they get here." Jou thought to himself. When Yugi started rubbing the twins, Seto opened the door and left, slamming it behind him

"What's his problem?" Yami asked. Never had Kaiba acted like this. "Surely Yugi asking to help shouldn't have bothered him."

Yugi pulled his hand away when the door slammed. "I'm sorry Jou. I didn't mean to upset him." He looked on the verge of tears.

Jou put his hand on Yugi's shoulder. "It's alright. I have a feeling I know what's bothering him." Pushing himself up from the chair, he ordered, "You guys stay here. Doctor Carson will be coming soon. I'll take care of Kaiba."

Ten minutes later, Doctor Carson came in. "Well, I've got the results. Not all is good, but it's not all bad." She noticed the long faces. "Mr. Kaiba's still a bit testy? He'll be fine. Jounouchi knows how to handle him."

"What's the bad news?" Yugi asked.

Doctor Carson sat down in the seat Jou vacated. "Yugi, I'm sorry." His entire body seemed to deflate. "There's no way you could safely carry more than one if you became pregnant with twins. Which is a high possibility. If too many eggs took, your body most likely wouldn't respond well. Your life could be in danger."

Yami slid off the table, picked up his light, and held him as the young man cried. Gently rubbing Yugi's back, he asked, "What's the good news, then?"

"The good news is, there's no reason you couldn't, Yami." Yugi straightened and wiped his eyes. Yami stared at the doctor.

"I…can carry them?" Yami asked, in shock.

"Yes. You're perfectly healthy and you probably wouldn't have any trouble carrying more than one if there was a multiple pregnancy." She saw Yugi look longingly at his companion. "I'll give you time to think it over." She offered, walking from the room.

When she left, Yugi hugged Yami fiercely. "We can still do it!" Then he remembered he wouldn't be carrying them. "That is, if you want to…"

"I don't know Yugi. Maybe we should just forget about it."

Looking sad Yugi pleaded, "Please Yami. It's only for nine months. I'd do it for you in a heartbeat."

"Fine. Yugi, I'm doing this because I know how much it means to you. I love you." His expression grew dark. "But I'll be damned if this child will be born without us being married. It would be improper."

Yugi blinked. "What?"

Yami got down on one knee. "Hikari, I don't have a ring, but say you'll marry me and you'll have the biggest diamond money can buy."

"Yami…yes! But a ring that big isn't necessary. Size doesn't matter to me." Catching Yami's amused smile, he amended, "You knew what I meant, Hentai!"

"I did." Yami laughed. "Now, can we please get this operation going? I want to get it over with." Yami was hoping that there wouldn't be any more needles involved as he kissed Yugi lightly.

Yugi asked, "Why?" with innocent eyes.

"Because, the operation only makes it possible. We have our part to do in this process, too." Smirked the Pharaoh evilly. "Now, let's find the doctor and get this started."

Later that day, back at the Kaiba mansion, Jou was in the pool swimming. Well, more like relaxing as Seto had limited the blonde's activity. They'd given Yugi a ride back to the Game Shop to get his Sunfire and go back with Yami. The operation had gone well and the Pharaoh was recovering from the anesthetic. Yugi had three days to impregnate Yami or else all the pleading would be for nothing.

"Seto?" Jou asked. The CEO had clamed down from the afternoon, being upset that Yugi wasn't going to actually carry his own child.

"Yes?"

"What's going to happen after the twins are born?"

Thinking how Jou meant that question, he answered, "We take care of them?"

The blonde started laughing, "I know that. Will you be around? I know Mokuba's running Kaiba Corp. now, but will you be able to stay away?"

"Pup, if I wanted to make a rule saying everyone had to come to work naked on Fridays, I could. Taking time away to be with the three of you will be no problem."

Dragon, if you're putting that rule into law, I'm coming with you every Friday. But, that's what I wanted to hear." Jou began rubbing his back. "Even in here it hurts." He muttered to himself.

"How long has that been going on?" Seto asked.

"Since my sixth month. It's okay. I'm use to pain." Jou's amber eyes clouded with pained memories.

Coming up behind Jou, Seto whispered, "You okay, Jou?"

Blinking as if coming out of a daze he responded, "Yeah. Just thinking about my old man. He beat me pretty good some nights. Sometimes I couldn't move the next day."

"Do you think that has anything to do with now?" Kaiba asked praying Jou's father still wasn't hurting his puppy.

"Probably not. Like you said this afternoon, I'm fat. It's probably just the extra weight."

Kaiba grabbed Jou's rear in the water, "I never said you were fat. If you care to get out of the water, I'll make it up to you." He bribed.

"Mmm…sounds like a deal." Purred Jou. As a final thought, he added, "Can we use food? Your puppies are getting hungry."

Thank You's:

Katsuu: Thank you =)

Nite Nite: It's okay if you only reviewed after all the chapters. Not a problem. And thanks for all the nice compliments. If you want to give Seto's kid a dollar, go for it…I'm just not responsible for anything that happens because of it. =) And yes, Yugi wants a baby. I think he'd do well with one. You can give Yami's kid a dollar, just don't give it sugar.

FuKouHei: Thank you. Your review is appreciated.

Kat: Sorry for the sandwich. I didn't mean to make you gag. I thought about the initials half way through. I'm like…no…KKK is NOT a good idea for initials…I don't know, but the one lady that's pregnant down at my work said that the fish was what it feels like…I dunno.

Yami's Princess: Thank you!

DrkMnCommikker: Thanks, I'm glad you think so. You'll have to read the next part to find out. =) How am I a murderer? I only killed Jou's father….

Sushi: It's nice to see that people are sticking with this story. My only regrets are that it will come to an end eventually, and that I can't get out chapters fast enough.

Katrina VenTassel: I think Yami carrying one would be extremely cute. I haven't hurt Jou or the twins this far, I'm not going to do anything to him now…well, nothing that will have any lasting effects. And as I've said…fan art is more than welcome. Thanks!

Animeyaoiwriter: Everyone seems to want Jou to have one of each. It's odd. And thanks for the nice comments.

Delta VT: The puppies are on their way. Give them time. And, yes, I know you love preggy Jou.

Kakarots-Frying-Pan: Yup…Yami carrying a baby. It's been done. And yes, the twins are due in October.

Macduff's Mistress: Yup. Yami.

StarLight Shadow: I never thought about Yami being a "mother" figure...oh well. Yugi won't be upset for long…Yami's going to make sure of that. Yugi can just blame genetics…it's all in the genes.

High Priestess of the Temple of Set: First, where's the temple? I want to worship there! Second, all I'll say is…yes. You figure it out. =)

Angel Reaper: Do one pairing, do them all, do a few, I don't care. I'll link, or send links so that people can see them. And, yes, Yami's possibly going to carry them.

Hikari Rayne: Yeah, yeah, yeah….make fun of the Pharaoh….go ahead…=)

Hidden Dreams: The alternative is getting help from someone dear to him.

Puffin: I intend to have fun with Yami carrying them. =)

Flame Swordswoman: Aww…don't be sad. Now you get to see what kind of daddies Seto and Jou will be, plus you get to see how Yami handles being pregnant! By the way, do you post on Pojo's YGO site? I thought I saw your name there…

Kaira Hesoka: I hope you got the link. If not, we're going to have to figure out another way to do this. Yes, Yugi and Yami's baby/babies will be a sort of gift from Seto. I honestly have no idea how much the surgery in real life would cost, but I had to make it something that there would be no way of Yami affording it. Jou's twins are coming…look carefully, I've already hinted at when.

Hidden Dreams: Yeah…Yugi's cute…I guess. Nah, he's okay, just…can't he lose one lousy duel??? =)

DemonandGoddess: But…I don't wanna die!!! =) I'm not killing any of them. If I haven't already done it, why would I wait till now?

RedFox: Yami with a baby…seems everyone is getting a kick out of that. I wonder why? =) Thanks for the nice comments.

Lil Miss Kitty: Who's Line Points rock. I never thought of that…a Pot leaf haired Pregnant Pharaoh. I'm going to have to find who wrote that review of the movie and hug him. Then knee him in the groin. Thanks! And, if you find one of those shirts being worn, grab a picture.

Dark Sanctuary: I still love the name. I'm sure Yami will find a way to wear his leather. I doubt if he's going to trade it in for a muumuu and shower thongs.

Anubiset: I also think they'd make great parents. Will any of the others be doing it…probably not. Just Yami, Yugi, Seto, and Jou.

Hellz Flamez: Nah, Jou's dad outlived his usefulness. I think Yami pregnant is going to be cute.

The Pharaohs Mine: Yeah, nice try, I still know who you are! And you're right…I claim Seto. He's my priest and CEO. I love men with money and power (not really, but hey!)

Yugis_Sweetheart: We can't have the Pharaoh and Yugi pregnant at the same time, now, can we? Sorry to disappoint you, but it's just not in the cards for Yugi to carry them.

MageOfBlackFlames: Hey, it's okay. You reviewed. It's not how fast you review…it's if you do. See, the more reviews, the happier I am and the more likely to write faster. =) If it was Yugi carrying the baby/babies, I might. But it's Yami, and I like the Pharaoh. Besides, The Pharaohs Mine would kill me, and she could actually do it.

Again, big thanks to all who've read and kept up with me. Fan art is always accepted if anyone feels like trying. To anyone who sent a review after 9-13-04, you weren't in this thank you list, but will be in the next one. Till next time!
