~Previous Chapter~

 

Turning to the small crowd that came, the priest announced, "I'm pleased to pronounce to you the newlyweds!"

 

While the two tri-haired men shared their first married kiss, Yami took Yugi's hand and put it against the side of his belly. The baby was quite active and could be felt by the outside world now.

 

/Yami…is that…/

//It is, Aibou. That's your baby.//

 

Yami took the hand from his stomach and led Yugi up the aisle past everyone, including Yugi's grandfather. To both men's astonishment, he was crying.

 

~Chapter 3 C~

 

After surviving the shower of rice, Yami and Yugi dove for cover in one of Kaiba's newest limos to go to their reception. Since the wedding, the small light has been beaming. He'd been admiring the beautiful golden band Yami had recently placed on his finger. However, since the vows, the Pharaoh had been somewhat subdued.

 

`What's wrong, Yami?" Yugi asked, worrying that the ceremony had been wrong, despite Isis sending Yami's royal robe and giving advice on the goings on of an Egyptian wedding.

 

Taking hold of his little light's hand; Yami stroked the back of it with his thumb. "Nothing's wrong. Everything is and has been wonderful." His other hand had traveled to his stomach. He'd been trying to calm the baby down for the last half hour. "She's just moving."

 

Snuggling up to his dark half's side, Yugi asked, "Can I feel, please?" Putting his hand over Yami's.

 

"Aibou, you don't ever have to ask. It's your baby too. I'm just carrying it." He released his hold on his husband's hand wrapped his arm around Yugi who's warm hand could be felt through the material of his robe. As soon as Yugi's small hand made contact with Yami's belly, the babe quieted.

 

"She stopped." Yugi informed as he rubbed the gentle swelling of his lover's stomach.

 

When the limo pulled into the parking lot of the reception hall, Yami remarked, "We better hope it is a little girl in there. It's going to be one major change if not."

 

Upon entering the hall, the men were greeted with black and red balloons, streamers, and candles. The head table was set for four. Only Seto, Jou, Yami, and Yugi would be there. In Egyptian culture, there were always two throne-like chairs for the newlyweds to `preside' over the festivities. Still being part traditional and part Egyptian, the golden chairs were merely ornamental for Yami and Yugi to sit in.

 

All the other guests were already there, waiting on the happy couple to arrive. Jou rose up from the table and welcomed, "Yami, Yugi, it's great to be one of the first people to say congratulations to you. Seto and I hope you have many years of happiness ahead. However, all formalities aside, I'm handing the toast to Seto so we can get on to the most important part of today." Jou winced as Kaiba had smacked him in the rear for thinking of his stomach first.

 

Standing up with more effort than he was use to, Seto spoke. His demeanor taking on that of the stone-cold CEO they use to know. "I apologize for my Neanderthal of a husband. I do wish to extend my own well wishes for your happiness. You two have accomplished much more than anyone ever thought you could have." He nodded in the direction of Yugi's grandfather who was looking after the twins. "You've given Jounouchi and I two of the most precious gifts. Without you, our twins would never have been born. Enjoy each day the two of you have together and treasure the little one on the way." Seto raised his glass, followed by Jou and the rest of the assembled people. "Now, we can eat."

 

Taking their seat at the table, the reception finally got underway. The head table was served while everyone else got up to get their food, something for which Seto was grateful for, considering his new girth.

 

The food, like the wedding, was half traditional, and half Egyptian. One in particular tempted Yami. It was a dish with a fig base that reminded him of long ago. When everyone was eating and enjoying themselves, Jou got a feral grin on his face right before tapping his fork against his wine glass.

 

//What's that for, Aibou?// Yami asked, wondering if he was missing something.

 

/I'm sorry, Yami./ Yugi blushed. /Whenever they do that, we have to kiss./

 

Smiling, the Egyptian wondered, //That doesn't sound bad, little one. Why are you apologizing?//

 

/Shut up and kiss me/ Yugi ordered.

 

The two leaned toward each other. As soon as their lips touched, the baby gave Yami a strong kick and he moaned low into his light's mouth. Despite the movements, the Pharaoh deepened the kiss, sliding his tongue over Yugi's lower lip. //Is this good enough?// he teased.

 

/Yami, remember, we're in front of our friends and family!/ he cautioned.

 

"Hey you two! Save it for the honeymoon!" Jou elbowed Yugi, breaking the kiss.

 

As they broke apart, the noticed everyone was beginning to have their able cleared to make room for the cake. Kaiba's people had done a wonderful job on the wedding cake. It was a yellow cake with white icing. The cake itself was built in a central, three-tiered tower with two smaller sections joined to the center part by two solid bridges of white chocolate.

 

Seto pushed himself up from his chair, glaring at Jou as he did so. Opening a flat, white box, he removed a long ornate knife. "Here." He motioned for the newlyweds to join him next to the cake. Handing the knife to Yugi, he spoke, "Hopefully you'll continue to work together through life as a team to achieve all you want in life. There's probably some symbolism behind the cake cutting, but let's just do it and eat." Seto smiled, knowing that Jou would be happy about that later.

 

Yami pulled Yugi into a one-arm embrace, as his right hand wrapped around his light's small one. Leaning over slightly, the two guided the knife through a small section of the cake. Letting go of the knife, Yami picked up a small piece of the cake to feed to Yugi. As the smaller man took the offered piece, Yami painted his light's nose with the colored icing.

 

"Hey!" Yugi exclaimed, taking his own piece to give to Yami. Paying the favor back, the rest of the cake was cut up and served to the other guests as the DJ for the night set up.

 

When things were ready and the cake eaten, Yugi's grandfather passed the twins back to Seto and Jou. Going up to the DJ's stand, he took the microphone. "Yugi, I've always hoped you'd find someone special. I know now that you have, and I've seen the love between you and Yami. I hope this old man lives long enough to see the two of you grow old together." Holding the microphone out to Yami, he encouraged, "I believe there's something you wanted to say?"

 

Getting up slowly from the table, Yami joined the older man. Taking the microphone, he looked directly at Yugi. "Yugi, you've made me the happiest man in the world. I've always been willing to sacrifice anything for your happiness." He blushed slightly, " I love you and place no one above you. I can't wait to spend eternity with you, Aibou.

 

Putting the microphone down and handing a CD to the DJ, he walked over to where Yugi was still sitting. "Yugi, can I have this dance?" Yami handed a cd to the DJ. Turning back to Yugi, he wrapped his arms around the smaller man. When the music started, he saw his light smile in recognition of the sweet country song. It was an American country song called "I Will Stand By You". Yugi had fallen in love with the band called the Povertyneck Hillbillies. Sometimes when Yami worked late, he caught his love asleep with the song playing over and over. Now, instead of the band singing, it was just Yami singing into Yugi's ear.

 

~I'm not perfect,

I'm no saint, babe.

I don't wear angel's wings.~

 

Mentally Yami added, //But I've found my perfect angel.// As he slowly turned Yugi around the dance floor.

 

~I'm no hero

In shining armor.

All I am is what you see.~

 

//I know you've always thought of me as strong and brave. Yugi, I'm just a simple man.// Yami traced the high cheekbone of his light with his thumb.

 

~I will lay down my life for you.

Take it to the wall, if you ask me to.

I'll stand by you gray skies, or blue.

All my life, I will stand by you.~

 

Catching Yugi's rose colored lips in a soft kiss, //No matter what comes in life, I'll always be here for you Yugi.//

 

/Yami…/ Tears shone in Yugi's amethyst eyes.

 

~Just a man, babe.

That's all I am, babe.

I won't try to hide my scars.

 

But I swear I love you,

Place no one above you.

You have my soul, you have my heart.~

 

Yami smiled as he remembered the vows he'd made just hours before. Carefully wiping away a tear from Yugi's cheek, he continued his serenade. It was only then that he noticed other couples had joined them on the dance floor. Jou and Seto being one of them.

 

~I will lay down my life for you

Take it to the wall, if you ask me to.

I'll stand by you, gray skies, or blue.

All my life, I will stand by you.~

 

//Yugi, I want to protect you and this little one. You two are my life now.// lowering his head to Yugi's shoulder, the Pharaoh nuzzled his light's neck and gave him a gentle sucking kiss.

 

~God knows I've made mistakes.

This is all I can say:

No matter what it takes,

I'm gonna stand beside you always.~

 

Yami thought back to the duels with Dartz's gang, betraying his love and almost losing him forever. Even to this day, Yami blamed and berated himself for it. The thought of never seeing his love smile, or hold him nearly killed Yami. //Yugi, I know I've made some big mistakes. Hopefully you will forgive me one day. I never meant to hurt you.//

 

/Yami…don't. I already have forgiven you./ His hand came to rest on the baby. /If I didn't, I wouldn't have wanted this./

 

~I will lay down my life for you,

Take it to the wall if you ask me to.

I'll stand beside you, gray skies or blue.

All my life, I will stand by you.

 

I will lay down my life for you,

Take it to the wall if you ask me to.

I'll stand beside you, gray skies or blue.

All my life, I will stand …by …you.~

 

Pulling Yugi as close as possible, Yami finally let go of all the emotions that had built up throughout the day. His cool demeanor shattered as the Pharaoh started to cry. Feeling himself led from the dance floor he was soon standing in front of the two golden chairs. Slowly easing himself down on to it, his hand automatically went to the baby.

 

While another faster song started up, Yugi asked, "Is everything alright?" He took a seat in the other chair.

 

"Everything is fine. She's just…" He paused and took in a sharp breath. "Kicking me. I'll be back." Yami pushed himself up from the chair and headed for the bathroom.

 

Yugi sat waiting on Yami's return. He'd been gone about five minutes when Seto came waddling up. "Where's Yami?" he asked, looking around.

 

"I guess the bathroom." Yugi answered. "That's where he said he was going." Looking at Kaiba he questioned, "How are you holding up?"

 

Leaning tiredly against a nearby wall, he responded, "I'm here. My back hurts like a bitch and if I could see my ankles, I'd bet they were swollen."

 

Yugi wanted to ask about the cottage that Kaiba was letting them use for their honeymoon, but before he could ask, a long mental moan interrupted his thoughts. /Yami, what's wrong?/

 

//Nothing, just having some...technical difficulties. I'm fine.//

 

/Okay, if you're sure. Are you going to be ready to go when you come back?/

 

Another long groan was heard. //Gods yes…//

 

Closing the mind link, Yugi thought to himself, "He's not…not here…" Wanting to get away now as quick as possible, he asked Kaiba, " How soon can the limo be ready? Yami says he's ready to go." Not liking to lie to his friends, but figuring it was easier than telling the CEO that his husband had started without him, Yugi saw no other choice.

 

"I can have it here in ten minutes." Pulling out his cell, he made the necessary phone calls. Finishing them, he looked back at Yugi. "I hope you've enjoyed today."

 

"Everything was perfect, thank you." Yugi answered sincerely. "It's just been a long day and with Yami and the baby…"

 

Seto grinned, "I understand. Enjoy your wedding night. I'd tell you to be careful, but I don't think it matters about protection any more." His grin had widened and was threatening to turn into a full-out smile as he gave Yugi a hug just as the Pharaoh came from the bathroom.

 

 

The limo had pulled up beside a log cabin shortly after midnight. Their suitcases were unloaded and taken into the house. Even though it wasn't the Game Shop, Yami still insisted on carrying Yugi over the threshold.

 

"Yami, you're going to hurt the baby if you keep doing this!" the little light protested as he was carried up to the large bedroom.

 

"If lifting you is going to hurt her, then we won't be doing much tonight." Yami teased. "You worry too much, Aibou. She's going to be fine. If anything starts to hurt, I'll stop." He placed his light on the bed and climbed in beside him, running a hand under the little one's shirt.

 

Yami worked the buttons on his husband's dress shirt open as he gently pushed him onto his back against the soft pillows and began kissing a trail from Yugi's earlobe down to the waistband of his pants.

 

Yugi squealed, "Yami!! What's gotten into you?" He'd never known his dark half to be this forward with him. Usually, it was Yugi to initiate intimate contact.

 

"Come on little one, you've denied me for so long…" Yami growled, undoing the button at Yugi's waist.

 

Yugi resisted, "Damn it Yami, that's enough!"

 

Backing off at his lover's sudden assertiveness, Yami ran his finger through his hair, clearly frustrated. "Fine. When you're ready, I'll be in the bedroom waiting." No matter how bad he wanted to ravish his light, he still respected his partner's wishes.

 

Going up to the enormous bedroom, Yami unpacked a pair of sweatpants and a shirt. Taking the items into the adjoining bathroom, he began undressing as much as he could. Catching a glimpse of himself in the floor length mirror, his reflection cause chills to run down his spine. Straightening up, he ran his hand slowly over his belly. He saw there was no mistaking his pregnancy anymore.

 

/Yami, what's on your mind?/ Yugi asked, aware of an intense emotional flow from his husband.

 

//It's nothing. Don't worry about it. Sorry to bother you.// The almost dead response hid his true feelings.

 

Yugi got up from the couch and made his way upstairs. Tiptoeing in the bathroom, he saw Yami cradling his belly lovingly. Not wanting to interrupt, he was content to simply watch his husband. After a few minutes he mentally offered, /You're so beautiful./

 

"Yugi!" The Pharaoh whirled around. "How long have you been there?"

 

"Long enough." He replied. "Yami, I'm sorry for earlier…you know. Swearing at you and all.

 

Yami stood unmoving for what seemed an eternity, "No, I should be apologizing to you. I shouldn't have pressured you."

 

The smaller man came over and stood in front of his naked husband. "I just wanted time to relax and unwind from today." Putting one hand on Yami's belly he commented, "She's growing." Taking Yami's hand, Yugi informed him, "I'm ready…"

 

 

It was nearly two in the morning when Kaiba and Jou returned from the party. The reception was still going strong thanks to Bakura and a few shots of Wild Turkey. After getting the boys changed and in their cribs, Seto and Jou lay curled in bed together.

 

"Dragon, what do you think Yami and Yugi are up to right now?" Jou asked, laying his head against Seto's chest.

 

Slowly stroking the blonde locks, he responded, "We could find out."

 

"How?" Jou asked, pushing himself up on Kaiba's chest.

 

"With this." Seto held up a slender sliver remote control.

 

A stunned look fell on Jou's features. "Seto!!! You closet voyeur!"

Okay, this is the end of the wedding things and I'm sorry it took forever to get out. Also, I'm not doing any thank you's in this one because it is a long chapter. I did read them all and thought they were wonderful. However, one sticks out in my mind. They asked if there was magic or something that allowed for Yami and I'm guessing Jou to be pregnant. If they read It Started With Snow then they should have read how both men had surgeries to allow for the babies to be carried. If not, go back and read the story, it's entertaining and helps you to understand this one. =) Till then, Merry Christmas (or happy whatever respective holiday you celebrate) to you all!
