Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Power of Love ❯ Yami's 3rd month ( Chapter 1 )

The Power of Love

Disclaimer: I still don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or any of the pretty boys. However, I do own Makoto Kaiba, and his twin brother Zaylin Kaiba. I also will own Yami's kid when it comes.

Pairings: Yami x Yugi and some Seto x Jou.

Warnings: Mpreg, lemon, lime, swearing, violence, possible abuse. *Looks at the list* If it can be thought up, it might be in here, well, all except for necrophilia and all the really odd fetishes. =)

Notes: This is the second part to It Started With Snow. This is Yami and Yugi's side of things. They will be the main focus with a little Seto on the side (and Jou-pup, too!). Even though Yami and Yugi have been slowly taking over It Started With Snow, this is the first OFFICIAL chapter of "The Power of Love".

Yami lay on his back on the examination table. He was at Doctor Carson's office for his three-month check-up. Seto had dropped him off and told him to call when he was done. Yugi had wanted to come, but needed the Sunfire to pick up his grandfather from the airport. Yugi had been trying to get the elderly man to come home any other day but today, however, it was the only flight out of Egypt. Yami assured his light that he'd be fine and called Seto to see if he'd be able to give him a ride; he agreed easily.

"Hello, Yami." Doctor Carson greeted. "How've you been feeling as of late?"

At this, the Pharaoh grinned. "Just fine, no morning sickness or anything." Jou had told him he was lucky for that, as had Seto.

"Great!" She responded. "I need you to lie back for me, I'd like to examine you."

Lying back, Yami's tight black shirt rose up slightly, revealing a toned, flawless abdomen. He knew he wasn't showing yet, but he figured it wouldn't be long now. His leather pants had already started feeling a little tighter.

Lifting the shirt the rest of the way up, the doctor used her hands and began pushing gently, feeling for the baby. "Everything feels normal…" she trailed. "The baby feels a little small, but it should be fine." She said smiling.

"Can you tell what it is yet?" Yami asked.

"We can try." Doctor Carson offered, "I think it might be too early yet, though." She added as she left to get the ultrasound machine. Spreading the cold gel on Yami's stomach, she took the wand and guided it around till she found the implant. "It's definitely healthy, but I can't see what it is."

Managing only an `Oh', the Pharaoh was disappointed. He wanted to be able to tell Yugi.

"Don't look so down." Teased the doctor. "You still have plenty of time to find out. When you come back after the holidays, we can try again."

After making his next appointment, Yami found a phone and dialed Kaiba's cell to let him know he was done. Sitting outside the office building, Yami thought about having to tell Yugi's grandfather he was going to be a great grandfather. Poor Yugi's nerves had been on edge the last few days and had to be shot by now. Lost in thought, Yami didn't hear Seto's Avalanche pull up.

"You going to sit there all day, or what?" Called Seto through the open passenger window.

Blushing at his unusual inattentiveness, Yami got up, brushed his rear off and climbed into the truck. "Sorry." He apologized.

"It's okay." Noticing the Pharaoh wasn't acting like himself, Seto asked, "Is something wrong with the baby?"

Shaking his head, Yami replied, "No, nothing's wrong unless it being a little small is going to be a problem." Sighing heavily, he continued, "Yugi's grandfather is coming home today. We're planning on telling him about us and the baby today."

"He loves Yugi. He should be happy he found someone like you to take care of his only grandchild." Seto's hand found Yami's and gave an encouraging squeeze, "And if he doesn't fall in love with the baby, he's more cold-hearted than I was."

The Pharaoh half smiled, "Maybe." Putting one hand over his stomach, he asked, "How are the twins?" The few times he's seen them in the last three weeks, it seemed little Makoto had taken quite a liking to the Pharaoh, and the feeling was returned ten-fold. Yami loved both of Seto's boys dearly.

"They're doing great!" the brunette beamed proudly. "Do you want to make a quick stop to see them?" he offered.

Nodding, Yami added, "As long as I'm back at the shop by two. Yugi should be back by then." He explained.

Reaching Kaiba's mansion, Yami instantly picked up on one of the babies' cries. The thought crossed his mind that something wasn't right. "Where's Jou?" He asked. Surely the blonde wouldn't have left the babies alone. Looking at Seto, he saw the CEO looking very uncomfortable. "Seto, where's Jounouchi at?"

"Yeah…um…Yami, this is something I didn't want you to see." Seto looked ashamed. "Ever since they were born, Jou's been…depressed." He looked helplessly at Yami as he led him to the nursery. Picking up Makoto and handing him to the Pharaoh, he said, "Here, keep an eye on them till I find Jou."

Sitting in the rocker, Makoto had grabbed on to the Millennium Puzzle and was happily sucking on it. A few minutes later, Yami heard Seto yelling at Jou. The baby started fussing again, right before Seto came in.

Seeing Makoto in Yami's arms made Seto's heart melt further. His son looked so right in the Pharaoh's arms. "Yami, I'm sorry. It's not a good time right now." Seto looked frustrated. "I need to talk to Jou and we need to get the boys fed. I can't really drive you back. If you want, I can have the limo take you back." Kaiba offered.

Handing the baby back to Seto, Yami assured, "I'll be okay."

It was nearly two when Yami reached the Game Shop. Yugi's Sunfire was already in its spot. Jogging the last few feet to the door, Yami let himself in. "Yugi? I'm home!" he called.

The small duelist came in. Running to his lover, he wrapped his arms around Yami's waist. "Did everything go okay at the doctor's?" he asked, sliding his hand down to the Pharaoh's stomach. "Remember, Grandpa doesn't know yet, so keep it down." He whispered.

Nodding in acknowledgement, Yami whispered back, "Everything is fine. The baby is a little small and I couldn't find out what it was." Leaning down to kiss his light, he continued, "Maybe next time you can be with us."

"Yugi, is Yami here? I've got something to show him!" Yugi's grandpa called.

Rubbing the Egyptian's belly for luck, Yugi asked, "You ready to tell him?"

"I am." He smiled encouragingly. "We'll be okay." He answered. Calling out to the elderly man, "We're down here near the door!"

Yugi's grandfather came down the stairs with more energy than most men half his age. "Ah Yami, what a sight!" He stated happily while squeezing Yami tightly to him. Yugi winced hoping his grandfather didn't hurt the baby.

"The same to you, Grandpa. It's good to have you back safely."

Yugi moved to sit on the couch and Yami followed, as did the elderly man. "Grandpa, I know you have things you want to show Yami," he opened. "We have something to tell you as well." He looked to the Pharaoh for some help.

"Yes, we do." Yami took on the regal air of Pharaoh. From experience, Yugi knew nothing was going to deter his lover now. "Sir, I've loved your grandson since the first time we met. I think it's time we told you everything."

The old man looked suspicious. "What else is there to tell me?"

"Grandpa, Yami asked me to marry him." Yugi flinched as though he expected to be hit.

"M…mar…marry him?" Grandpa sputtered. "You're telling me you're…"

Yami jumped in, saving his lover. "Gay. Yes, we are."

"Oh dear god…" the old man moaned. "I don't believe this."

Seeing his light about to cry, Yami decided to throw all the cards on the table. "Sir, there's one more thing we need to tell you. I'm also pregnant." Taking Yugi's small hand in his own, he waited for the man's reaction.

"It was fine when it was that Kaiba boy, but my own grandson…" He looked at Yami. "And you're…"

Finishing the sentence, Yami offered, "Pregnant, with child, having a bun in the oven, knocked up. Pregnant." For proof, he pulled up his shirt and gave the man an unimpeded view of his still flat stomach.

"You're not angry, are you Grandpa?" asked Yugi timidly.

Shaking from disbelief he answered, "Boy, I'm not sure what I am right now." Glancing at the Pharaoh, he finished, "I think you two need to leave me alone for a while."

Yami stood and offered his hand to Yugi. "Come on, let's go." Leading his light to the back porch, Yami flopped into a chair looking totally worn out. As he sat there, he remembered something he'd gotten at his appointment. "Yugi, I did get something from the doctor today. I forgot all about it."

What is it?" The small duelist asked, coming to stand over Yami. Finding himself pulled into his lover's lap, he squealed, "Yami, be careful! You'll hurt the baby!" Yami presented him with a folder. Looking at his fiancée, he asked, "What's this?"

"Open it." Yami grinned. He knew his light would be surprised with the contents.

Small hands working hurriedly to open the envelope, Yugi pulled out three pictures. They were different pictures of the baby from Yami's earlier ultrasound. "They're…"

"They're our baby." Yami smiled. He began pointing out various body parts and touching his belly trying to show Yugi the little one's position. Taking his light's hand, Yami put it right in the middle. "Soon you'll be able to see it."

Giving the Egyptian a curious look, Yugi asked, "How?"

Yami again lifted his shirt. Sliding his thumb beneath the leather, he pulled out. There was hardly any room where they use to be relatively loose on Yami's waist. "The last time I looked, I don't think these shrunk." He teased.

"You're evil!" Yugi countered, his hand never leaving his lover's stomach. Relaxing in the warm embrace, Yugi laid his head on Yami's shoulder. After a few peaceful moments, he asked, "What's going to happen to us if Grandpa throws us out?"

"We'll get a place of our own." Stroking the soft multicolored locks, Yami assured, "We'll be alright. I promise." He wrapped his arms around Yugi protectively. Honestly, he wasn't sure how to go about doing what he'd just promised, but he knew he was going to provide for Yugi and their baby. Somehow.

There you go, the first official part to The Power of Love. As for the responses to the last chapter of It Started With Snow, most of them were over me killing the little girl. I'm sorry, but I figured it would (and will) work out better this way. For now, sit back, relax, and enjoy where this one goes. =)
