Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Journey to Heaven ❯ The New Mommy ( Chapter 5 )

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANNUKAH, HAPPY KWANZAA! HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!

Kat: Gotta love Robbie's priorities about death, destruction, and academic life…*squishes Robbie*

Shadow of Light: No, she won't go out with Eric.  Bakura is the typical overprotective father…which ends up being his undoing.

Jadedragon: Yeah, Yami could have gone back for Bakura, but in the last story, it was Marik who saved Aria from Yami. Yami was going to kill Aria, but Marik interceded. That's why Marik is on his crap list.

Black Butterfly: Drama is good…..especially family drama.

Aspiker: The kids will get to Yami eventually…next story.

Kura Magician Girl: She's going out with Bandit Keith for spite against her father.  It's sad Umi had to pay the price, though.

Lady Elfskye: I know, I feel bad for Umi, too.  Poor chibi Mako.

I Is Me: *hugs* thank you!  The principal will be helpful later on in the story. I'm not saying anything more about that part…because it is a surprise.

Beysie: Keith is the scummiest person I can find, but it will be fun when Robbie gets to him. Machine Duel.

Note: This chappie happens three months later…….

The New Mommy

Marik  yawned and opened his eyes. Beside him, he saw a small boy.

"Hello, sir. I've come to return your Rod. Sorry it's taken me so long to find it."

Marik blinked. "Aten?"

The child shook his head. "No.  I am my master, your son's servant, The Helpless Child.  I was able to rescue this from the Pharaoh in the Shadow Realm."

Marik's eyes widened and he sat up.  Beside him he found that Malik was gone.  Marik took the Rod from the child. "Thank you. You said the Pharaoh had it?"

The child nodded.  "I managed to retrieve it.  Sorry it took so long," the child said bowing to Marik.

"Umm…it's okay. As long as I have my Rod back.  Thank you."

The child disappeared. 

Marik grabbed the polish and started to clean the Rod. "Damn pharaoh got his germs all over it, I bet."

He polished it and watched the object sparkle.

He stood up and called out to his son. "Aten, wake up for school!"

Aten opened his eyes and heard Aria coughing and gagging in her room.  Aten jumped out of bed and opened the door to his room.  Aria bolted out of her room and knocked into Aten. 

The Egyptian staggered back as his sister violently wretched into the toilet.

He stood in the doorway and saw her body trembling as she threw up.  "Sister, are you okay?"

Aria stood up and Aten cocked his head to the side.

"Have you….been…gaining a little weight lately?"

Aria looked down at herself. She winced as her breasts hurt.  "No. I'm….just…..retaining water."

Aten walked up to her and leaned down at her stomach.  "You've never retained THAT much water.  Not even I retain that much water in my legs!"

Aria rinsed out her mouth with Listerine.  "I'll be fine, Aten."

Ryou walked beside Aten. "Hi, kids. What do you want for breakfast?"

"Cereal and an apple," Aten said.  "I can get it."

Aten walked away and Ryou saw Aria wretch again.

"Honey, do you have a stomach flu?"

Aria spit and her body shivered. "I don't know….I can't stop it."

Ryou rubbed her back. "Aww…poor girl.  Are you sure you wouldn't like some soup for breakfast?"

Aria shook her head and grabbed the Listerine again. "No. Can I ask you something, mother?"

"What is it, sweetheart?"

"It's kind of….personal."

Ryou leaned against the doorway. "It won't bother me."

"I haven't gotten my period yet.  It's ten days overdue."

Ryou scratched his hair.

"Can you do me a favor?"

Ryou smiled and rubbed his daughter's shoulder. "What does my girl want?"

"Can I have three sausages, two pieces of toast, four pieces of bacon, and a muffin for breakfast?"

Ryou raised an eyebrow. "Honey, is there something wrong?"

"No. Why?"

"It's just….you've been eating an awful lot lately and I wanted to see if you were upset about something.  I don't want to pry and you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

Aria looked into her mother's eyes which matched her own.  "No, mother. I'm okay."

"You sure, Aria?  If there's something wrong, know that you can trust me, okay?"

Aria smiled. "Okay, mother."

Ryou hugged his daughter and looked down at the slight bulge in her belly.

Ryou bit his lip as he looked down.  'That looks familiar…..a little too familiar.'

The mother kissed his daughter's cheek.  "You're breakfast will be ready in a little bit."

Ryou went downstairs and Aria sighed in relief.  She returned to her room and stripped from her nightgown.  She looked down at herself.  Her belly slightly protruded.

'This can't be,' she whispered as she felt her hands touch her belly.  She quickly slid her jeans up, but they did not fit her.

'My jeans don't fit!'

Aria put her red dress on and noticed it was snug around her belly.  "I won't be able to wear this for two much longer."

She walked downstairs and grabbed her bread and peanut butter to make a sandwich for lunch.  Aten poured himself a glass of apple juice.

Malik turned on the radio as his husband came behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist.

Marik licked the back of Malik's ear.  "Hello, baby."

"Hello," Malik grinned as he turned to kiss his husband on the lips.

"Look what I got back." Marik held up the Millennium Rod.

Malik cheered. "YOU FOUND IT!"

"Aten's monster brought it back."

"Which one?" Aten turned up the volume on the radio.

"Helpless Child."

Aten gulped his medication with his juice.

[Another victim has been found in the 42nd Street Alley. The victim has been found with his throat cut and his body appearing as a mummy.  Some blond hair was found at the scene.  Police are analyzing the hair for the person's identity.]

Aten coughed and dropped the glass, making it shatter on the floor. "What?!"

Marik gasped. "Mummy?"

[The body was found in a similar condition as the bodies found in the Domino Museum three months ago. On November 12th, an unknown suspect broke into the Domino Museum and killed several guards.  Their bodies were found frozen and mummified.]

Aten kneeled down with Bakura and picked up the sharp shards of glass. 

[The police are baffled.]

Malik gasped. "What if they find something?"

Ryou put his hand on Malik's arm. "It's okay, Malik."

Aria narrowed her eyes. "I don't like this.  This isn't good."

Aten threw the broken glass in the trash.  "What are we going to do?  People just don't become mummies overnight."

Aria turned to her father. "What if it is…the pharaoh?"

"Hmm…I wouldn't put it past him, but would he be so stupid as to leave a trail of bodies in plain view where people can easily find them?"

Aria shook her head. "That's just sloppy. If you're going to kill, at least hide the god damned body."

Ryou sighed. "Aria, honey, language."

"Sorry, mother….at least hide the darned body."

A knock sounded on the door. "Robbie!"

Aten ran to the door and opened it.  Robbie was leaning against the door, placing all of his weight on his good foot.  "Robbie, you okay?"

"Cold weather is always bad for my foot.  You guys ready?"

"Come on in and sit down," Aten said watching his friend limp inside.

Robbie sat on the couch. "Another mummy was found on 42nd street.  The police don't know who's responsible."

Aria growled. 'I think I know who's responsible……and he's a stuck up, lazy-ass, butcher of a pharaoh.'

***************************************

Robbie, Aten, and Aria entered Health class.  Robbie and Aten sat beside each other.  Aria sat beside her brother and opened her textbook.

The teacher stood up.  "Good afternoon, class.  Today we will be watching a video in preparation for your anatomy test tomorrow."

Robbie blushed as his eye moved to Aten.  Robbie's eye scanned Aten up and down.  'Too bad I can't cross my legs here,' Robbie said, imagining Aten naked again.

Aten smiled at Robbie and winked.

'Can he sense what I'm thinking?  Crud.'

The teacher turned on the video. 

[Welcome to: The Miracle of Childbirth. In this video, we plan to show you the beautiful process of birth from conception  to the birth of a newborn baby.]

Robbie and Aten swallowed hard.

Aten raised his hand.

"Mr. Ishtar?"

Aten turned pale. "Mr. Holland, I can't watch this."

"Mr. Ishtar, this is for your test tomorrow."

///Why can't you watch this?///

/That woman….in the cabin……I can't do it./

///Why not?///

/I can't…./

Aten felt his body tense as they showed a picture of a naked woman on the television.  He could still hear Jessica in the back of his mind. 'See, baby boy, this is how a woman feels.'

Aten shuddered.

[In the first trimester, the woman's breasts may become tender and sore. This is due to a rise in chemicals in her body. Mom sure is hungry. Her appetite is increased…she is eating for two now.The new mother is also tired and times of morning sickness is not uncommon.]

Aria's jaw dropped. 'Shit.'

Robbie cocked his head to the side. 'That's what they look like?'

[During the second trimester, mom looks pregnant. The importance of a healthy diet is essential to the development of the fetus. Hormone levels drop and the mother returns to normal. This is when the movement of the baby can be detected by the mother. An amniocentesis is performed which can determine any genetic abnormalities and may even determine the gender  of the baby. Backaches are still common and mood swings increase during this time due to more hormonal changes.]

Aria groaned. 'Great….more mood swings.  I can tell we're going to go through a shit load of more toasters, seeing as I always end up sending the Ra-Damned things to the Shadow realm when they burn my toast.'

[The baby weights 10-12 ounces in the second trimester. It is possible for a child born in late second semester to survive, but the chances are slim. By the third trimester, the woman's breasts become heavier and weight gain continues.  Depression is not uncommon during this time. First time mothers are usually anxious.]

Aria shifted her eyes to her brother.  'What's my family going to think if I am pregnant?'

[Pregnant women may have trouble breathing because of the increased strain on their bodies. Now it's time for mom to deliver.]

Aria gulped. 'I have to remember to give mom a hug when I see him after school.'

[Here we see the waterbreaking.]

Robbie's eyes widened. 'That's what it looks like??????  Ew!'

Aten gripped the sides of his desk.  'Don't be afraid to touch me. Here, let me show you how to touch a woman like a good little boy.'

[Just when mom didn't think things could get worse, the contractions start pushing the baby through the birth canal Muscles stretch to allow the baby passage through the mother..]

Robbie and Aria turned pale.

Robbie's jaw dropped. 'I'm so glad I'm a guy………and attracted to Aten.'

Aten stood up from his desk and ran from the room, covering his mouth.

[The birthing process is a beautiful thing, especially when the body is pulled, tugged, and stretched in ways never thought before possible by mom.]

Aria covered her mouth as she saw the baby start to emerge from her mother's body.

[Here we see the newborn being pulled from mom. Mom's ordeal is finally over….but not for long. She still has to push out the afterbirth.]

Aria shook her head. 'I had better not be pregnant….or something is going to die!'

Robbie wrinkled his nose. 'Gross!  That's just…..wrong….Ew…..I'm never having sex with a girl…..EVER!'

*****************************************

Aria walked beside her brother as she returned home. Her eyes were cast down in deep thought as her brother chatted with Robbie.  Aria bit her lip nervously as she thought about the morning and her illness.

'Could it be true?  Sure, Keith and I have been together, but could I actually be….pregnant?'

She looked up and saw a pharmacy.  "Aten? Do you have any money on you?"

Aten reached into his pocket.  "I only have ten dollars left and I wanted to buy myself some sugar-free candy.  Why?"

"Can I borrow it?  I'll pay you back," she said shifting uncomfortably.

"Are you okay, sister?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks."  She grabbed the money.

Aten and Aria felt two arms drape over their shoulders.  Aten looked down at the big hands over his chest and felt the heavy arm weigh him down.

"Hey, doll," the tall blond said.

"Hello, Keith."

"What are you two dweebs doing around my girl?"

Aten and Robbie gasped. "Your girl?!"

Keith smiled. "Yup, my dirty little girl."

Aten pulled himself away, running beside Robbie.  "Aria, what happened to Umi?  He really likes you and I thought you loved him."

Aria lowered her head quietly.  'I know he did, Aten,' she thought.

Keith smiled. "She gave him the heave-ho!  Now, all this is mine," Keith said as his hands rubbed her belly and kissed her neck.

Robbie narrowed his eyes. "I know you. You're Bandit Keith, the Machine Duelist."

Keith grinned. "I don't give autographs to dweebs, kid."

Robbie crossed his arms, furious that this man was twice Aria's age and was pawing her like a kitten.

"You think you are a decent duelist?  I laughed at you when I saw the Duelist Kingdom broadcast.  I heard you got your ass kicked."

Aria narrowed her eyes. "Robbie, be nice to my boyfriend!"

Aten grabbed Aria. "Have you hit your head?  He's not your boyfriend.  He's a punk."

Keith laughed. "That's some accent you've got there, shrimp!  Who do you both think you are to challenge me?"

Robbie grinned. "Robbie Allen Morgan, Machine and Military Duelist.  Your machines are no match for my Fleet of Duel Monsters!"

"Aten Bakari Ishtar Ibn Marik, Nightmare Duelist.  And you had better keep your hands off of my sister!  I can easily become YOUR worst nightmare!"

Aria pushed Aten violently into Robbie.  Robbie caught his friend and wrapped his arms around Aten.

"Don't you bully him, Aten!" Aria snarled.

Keith laughed. "This shrimp is no challenge, babe!"

Aten narrowed his eyes as he winced at the pain in his chest.  'Stupid angina.'

"I'm going home," Aten said as he rubbed his chest.

Robbie turned to Keith.  "I have a feeling we'll duel soon, Keith.  I won't let you get away with this.  One Machine Duelist will be left standing….and it won't be you."

Keith smiled. "You can't even stand right.  You lean to the side like a drunk bastard."

Aria watched as Robbie looked at her for the first time with disdain.  "I never thought you would stoop so low, Aria.  I thought you were better than this."

Robbie limped away, his body rocking from his painful foot.

"So, what do you need in here, doll-face?  Cigarettes?"

"No, wait out here. I'll be back in a few moments."

Aria ran into the pharmacy and stood in front of the locked cabinet.  'What if I really am pregnant?  What will Umi think?  What will mother think?'

Aria started to shake, imagining Ryou crying from the news.  'I can't be in high school and have a baby. What am I going to do?  Drop out of school like mother did to raise my child? My father would flip.'  Aria's eyes narrowed. 'He'd flip regardless!  Well, there's only one way to find out.'

She paid for the pregnancy test and stepped outside.  Keith was waiting.

"What's in the bag?"

"Umm…woman stuff."

Keith licked his lips seductively and put his arms around her.  "What did my naughty girl buy her Sugar Daddy?"

"You wouldn't be interested."

Keith grinned. "So, what do you want to do?"

"I have to go home and do my homework.  If I'm late, my dad will come looking for me."

"Your old man is a pansy. I can take him."

Aria shook her head. "Unless you have Shadow Powers, it will be impossible."

"Don't go home, doll.  Do your homework later. Let's go back to my Pad and chill.  What do you say?"

"No, I can't. I really have to go home."

Keith sighed. "Okay, doll.  I have to meet a couple friends anyway."

"Okay.  You do that. Bye!"

Aria walked home looking at the brown bag in her hands.  'I have to do this. I have to know.'

**************************************

Robbie walked Aten home and kissed him on the doorstep.  "Are you okay now?  Did you recover from that horrible video?"

Aten took a deep breath. "Yeah, I'm okay."

"Okay.  What do you have planned tonight?"

Aten shrugged. "Do some painting, do some homework, and watch some television tonight with my dads.  It's horror movie night."

Robbie smiled. "Blood and guts, huh?"

///There's no substitute for the real thing.///

"It's father-son bonding time.  I really should spend time with him….considering…..you know, Robbie."

"I know, Aten.  Did the doctors find a heart yet?"

Aten shook his head and hugged Robbie tightly.  "No, they haven't," Aten whispered.

Robbie hugged Aten tightly and kissed his cheek. "It's going to be okay, Aten.  Go relax. If you need me, just give me a call."

"I will."

Robbie and Aten gave each other one final kiss. Robbie walked home five doors down.  He opened the door and his mother walked out of the kitchen. 

"Hello, Robbie, how was school?"

Robbie shuddered when she walked into the room. "We watched a video today."

"Of?"

"Birth."

Miranda smiled. "Oh, really?  How babies are made or just born?"

"Born."

"So, what do you think?"

Robbie entered the kitchen and poured himself a glass of milk. He chugged it quickly.

"I'm never having sex with a girl…EVER."

************************************

Ryou greeted Aria home with a hug and a kiss. "How was your day at school, sweetheart?"

"Fine.  We watched a movie in Health class."

Bakura's head spun with the memory of watching a birthing video in Ryou's Health Class.  "Yeah, they can be quite nauseating.  I've been there.  Was it the birthing Video?"

"Yeah."

Bakura snickered. "They still show that?  They have to get a new video."

Marik stepped into the door way. "I can make a sex ed video."

Ryou laughed with Malik. "I don't think a gay sex video would be able to be shown in high school, Marik."

Marik sighed. "Oh well….just thought I'd offer."

Malik looked at the bag in Aria's hands. "What's in there?  Get yourself some candy from the shop again?"

"Umm…yes….candy."

Ryou pat her on the cheek and kissed it. "My girl and her fascination with candy!  So cute!"

"I have to put my books in my room.  Where's Aten?"

Marik called from the kitchen. "Painting."

"Oh, okay."

Malik sat on the couch. "He was pretty upset when he came home, Aria. Maybe you should talk to him."

"Oh, okay."

Aria climbed the steps and found Aten's door shut tight and his violin music playing.  She could hear Egyptian ramblings coming from behind the door.  From the tone of his voice, he sounded pissed.

She dropped her books in her room and ran to the bathroom.

Aria followed the directions on the test and waited anxiously for the strip to turn color.

To Aria's horror, the strip turned pink.

She looked at the box and dropped it in fear. 'Oh shit…….I'm pregnant.'

************************************

The Dice Master removed the chicken from the Styrofoam package and washed it under warm water, singing.  Tristan walked in and saw his husband washing the chicken.  The Dice Master gave the meat a good slap.

"Are you slapping that meat?"

Otogi giggled. "I sure am!"

Tristan laughed as he wrapped his arms around Otogi.  "My little pussycat likes to….slap the meat?"

The tall brunet pressed himself against Otogi, kissing the back of the other man's neck.

Otogi laughed. "Keep doing that and once again we won't eat.  I have the oven preheated, Tris."

Tristan laughed. "I know you like it, baby.  Besides, I don't hear you complaining."

"I burned those brownies last night because you were licking the batter off of my----."

A knock sounded on the door.

Tristan kissed Otogi's neck and ran to answer the door.  He heard a girl crying behind the door as he opened it.  "Aria?"

Her eyes were bloodshot and she was shaking.

"Oh my god, come in, Aria!"  Tristan said, shutting the door behind her.  "What happened? Are you okay?"

"I need to speak to Uncle Otogi. Is he here?" she cried.

Otogi peaked his head out of the kitchen.  "Aria-darling?  What--?  Why are you crying?"

"I did something really bad."

"Tris, can you finish the chicken and put it on?"  Otogi lead Aria to the couch and sat beside her. "Now you sit down and tell Uncle Otogi all about it."

Aria grabbed a tissue from the side table.  "Uncle Otogi, I'm pregnant."

"WHAT?!" sounded the voice in the kitchen.

"Tris, let me handle this!" Otogi responded.  "Aria, you're pregnant?  Who's the father?"

Aria sobbed. "I don't know.  I broke up with Umi three months ago. He's…he's the first one I've ever been with. Now I have a new boyfriend."

"Is it possible he could be the father?"

"I don't know. I didn't sleep with him until a couple of months ago."

Otogi took her hand. "What are you going to do about school?"

"I can't leave school!  I mean, maybe I could. Mother left school to raise Aten and I."

Tris stood in the doorway. "I don't think Ryou will allow you to do that, Aria."

"Your father will get his panties all in a bunch," Otogi said.  "Hmm…Bakura in panties…."

Aria shuddered. "Ew…."

"You should tell your mother, Aria. He's going to find out sometime."

Tristan nodded. "Your parents are good people, Aria…..except Bakura and Marik…they're just creepy people."

"My father is going to kill me!"

"Look, Aria, your father will take it hard at first and he may say things that he doesn't mean, but he'll get over it in time."

Aria cried and Otogi brought her to his chest. "Come now, Aria.  It's going to be okay.  This is a scary time for you."

Tristan walked over and rubbed her hair. "Your mother was scared when he was carrying you, Aria.  He didn't know what to do.  This is normal to be nervous and scared."

"Just make sure you go to the doctors regularly.  We want to make sure that the little tyke is healthy," Otogi said.

Aria sniffled. "Looks like I'll be seeing lots of Dr. Zira.  Aten and I can schedule appointments together to make it easy on my parents."

"Your parents will be shocked, Aria, but they love you very much."

Aria held onto Otogi. "I'm scared, Otogi."

"Oh, baby girl, it's going to be okay.  Here, I'll hold you."

Aria held onto Otogi as her mind was plagued with thoughts of being a new mother.

***************************************

The next day, Otogi stopped at Yugi's Game Shop to drop off a new order of Dungeon Dice Monsters figurines. 

"Hi, Otogi," Glenn said with a smile. "Another order?"

"Sure is!"

Glenn helped Otogi with the box.  "Yugi!  Otogi's here with another shipment!"

Yugi came out of the storage room and smiled. "Hi, Otogi!  Thanks a bunch!  We're going through these things like crazy!  Let me cut you a check for that order."

Yugi disappeared into the back room and returned. "Here you go, thanks a million!"

Otogi leaned down to Yugi. "Yugi, did you hear?  Aria is pregnant."

Yugi and Glenn's jaws dropped simultaneously. "What?!"

"She's pregnant."

"Oh my god!  Bakura is going to kill her!" Yugi said.

Otogi nodded. "Poor dear."

The door to the shop opened and Joey Wheeler entered. 

"Hey, Joey!" Yugi said throwing himself at Joey.

"Hey, Yugi!  Decided to come in and visit."

Yugi smiled. "How are the wedding plans coming along?"

"Wedding plans?????......Oh, those!  They're going well.  You have to excuse me,  there's a lot on my mind."

Otogi jumped up and down. "I'm doing to catering and decorating for your wedding!  What colors do you want?"

"Pink and Brown."

Otogi, Glenn, and Yugi cocked their heads to the side. "Those colors don't go together, Joey."

Glenn nodded. "Yeah, that's an…..ugly…combination.  Sorry, but it is."

Yugi opened the box that Otogi brought. "What about white and blue?"

"Or what about Mauve and Violet?  Everyone can be dressed in purple." Glenn offered.

Joey shrugged. "I want something different.  Something nobody has ever done! You know me, guys. I like to be different."

Otogi raised an eyebrow. "You want to be a fashion disaster for your own wedding?"

Joey shrugged. "What better way to stand out?"

"Well, whatever you want to do," Otogi said.

Yugi smiled up at Joey. "Did you hear Aria is pregnant?"

Joey gasped. "No!  She is?!"

"Yup," Otogi said. "The poor girl came to me crying her little heart out to me."

"That's a shame," Joey said.  "I'll have to go talk to her."

Glenn picked up the box and started stocking the shelves.  "We'll have to get baby presents!"

Glenn and Otogi let out identical squeals.

Joey shook his head. "You two are too alike, it is scary."

Yugi hugged his lover. "But, I love him, Joey!"

"I'm glad you're happy, Yugi.  Have you heard from Yami?"

Yugi narrowed his eyes. "No, and good riddance!  After what he did to Aten, I want nothing to do with him!  I heard he tried to kill Aria, too.  I don't want anyone in my life who is going to hurt the people I love."

Joey looked up at Glenn. "I don't blame you, Yugi.  I have to go.  Oh, Glenn, can I borrow a dollar?  I don't have any left over from shopping for wedding gifts for Seto.  I want to get a soda."

Glenn handed Joey a dollar. "I got you covered."

"Thanks a lot!  Bye, Yugi."

"Bye, Joey!"

Joey left the Game Shop and walked down the street.  He turned down the alley and laughed.

Joey's body changed, turning back into Yami.

Yami laughed. "Aria's pregnant!  Now's my chance for my ultimate revenge!"

*******************************************

Yami returned to the Shadow Realm and approached his temple.  He entered his chamber and found the Millennium Rod gone from the altar. 

"WHERE IS THE MILLENNIUM ROD?!"

Mobius entered the room, holding the Helpless Child by the back of the collar. The child's feet dangled. "This little wretch stole the Millennium Rod and returned it to its rightful owner."

The Helpless Child crossed his arms in front of his chest in defense mode. "I…defend….myself."

Yami narrowed his eyes at the child.  "You have made a dangerous mistake, child.  Do you know how dangerous it is to cross me?"

"It…it did not belong to you."

"You still choose to defy me even after I took your life?"

The Helpless Child looked up at Yami with large, sad eyes. "I did what I was told.  I did what you asked of me.  You murdered me anyway."

Yami tilted the child's head up. "So I did……"

"I will always protect Aten from you."

"My time is wasted on a wretch like you.  Take him to the middle of the Badlands and abandon him there."

Mobius carried the child away.  Yami walked to the Book of Prophecy and placed it on the altar.

He flipped through the pages and found the curse.

"I had to wait until this happened for me to perform this curse.  Now, I will prevent her from bearing offspring and more challenges to my power!"

Yami raised his hands and the torches lit by the altar. 

"Goddess Isis, fertility, turn your head

Hail, Osiris, Lord of the Dead!

Take the soul of life anew

Turn life to death in the shadow's womb.

Make her body barren like the desert sands

Allow nothing to survive within her lands!

Nothing will grow, nothing shall live

No spell will stop this curse that I give!"

Yami laughed as the wind grew in intensity.

"Let nothing breed in her mortal womb!

Make her body an infant tomb!

Let nothing exit her body alive!

Let all who exit her quickly die!

Let the Spirit of the Ring's daughter fail to breed!

Hear me, Isis and Osiris,

Listen to my Ancient Creed!"

Yami laughed with evil intensity as a violent storm struck lightening around the Badlands. 

The Loyal Servant, Aria's monster,  looked up at the storm as she polished her sword. "This is not good.  The pharaoh is up to something."
