Chapter 25: Heba has the baby
Heba leaned back into the couch that he and Yugi were sitting on.
"Problems?" Yugi asked.
"My back is killing me." Heba replied.
"Well, you don't have to worry about it. You shouldn't have too much longer before you have that little girl." Yugi said.
"I know, but I really wish that it would happen soon. I know that my doctor said that he's only going to let me go another week before he induces labor." Heba said.
"Well, with any luck, you'll go into labor before that." Yugi said.
"I hope so." Heba said as shifted, trying to get comfortable.
"Has Atemu lightened up some as far as worrying goes?" Yugi asked.
"Yeah. You and Yami being here for the last week has helped a lot, though he does still worry." Heba said.
"Yami and I figured that, which is why Yami got him out of the house for you." Yugi said.
"Thank you. I really need a break from him." Heba said.
"I knew that, and I figured that since Yami wanted to go look at the area where he is thinking of building the new restaurant, he could take Atemu with him." Yugi said.
"Thank you, but what should you and I do in the meantime?" Heba asked.
"Well, we could always put in a movie and watch it." Yugi said.
"I don't have anything better in mind, so go ahead." Heba told him.
Yugi got up and picked out a movie and put it in the DVD player.

"Yami, I have to admit that you pick the perfect places to have your restaurants." Atemu said.
The place that Yami was thinking to build was in downtown Domino.
"Well, you want your restaurants where people are going to be going to a lot." Yami said.
The two were shown the building by the realtor.
"What are you going to do?" Atemu asked.
"I'm going to have to talk to my financial adviser and such, but I think that it would work. I have to go through the proper channels." Yami said.
"I know that." Atemu said.
The two decided to walk around and take a closer look at the building on their own.
"So, are you and Yugi really going to move out here?" Atemu asked.
"Yeah, we are. We both like the idea. It'll take some time, but I think that it would be a great idea." Yami said.
"I know that Heba and I would like it if you two would move here. It would be nice to see you more than a few times a year." Atemu said.
"You've seen me a good bit lately." Yami said.
"The trials don't count." Atemu said.
"Okay. Two times this year." Yami said.
"Well, since you'll be living in the same city, you'd better come and see us more than that." Atemu said.
"I get it, and I will." Yami assured him.
After the movie, Yugi took it out and out the DVD back on the shelf with the others.
"Well, what now?" Yugi asked.
Heba grimaced as there was a powerful kick to his side.
"You okay, Heba?" Yugi asked.
"Yeah. The baby's just been kind of active the last few hours." Heba said.
"Do I need to call Atemu?" Yugi asked.
"No. I'm okay." Heba said, sitting back against the couch.
Yugi walked over and sat back down by Heba. "Heba." Yugi said.
Heba looked over at Yugi.
"Do I need to call Atemu?" Yugi asked.
Heba sighed. "I don't know." Heba said.
"Okay. We need to time you're pains so that we can know if you're in labor or not." Yugi said.
"Yugi, I'm not in labor." Heba said.
"Heba, we are not taking any chances." Yugi said.
Heba groaned. "Now you're acting like Atemu." Heba said.
"Well, you're being stubborn." Yugi said.
"I get it." Heba said, starting to get up.
"What are you doing?" Yugi asked.
"I was going to get a glass of water if you don't mind." Heba said.
"Actually, I do mind. If there is a chance that you are in labor, then you are going to stay put." Yugi said.
"Fine." Heba said, crossing his arms.
Yugi went into the kitchen to get a glass of water for his brother. 'I hope that Yami comes back with Atemu soon, especially if Heba is in labor.' Yugi thought.
"You were right, Yami. I needed to get out of the house for a little while." Atemu said.
The two had gone to a restaurant for something to eat.
"Well, you have barely left the house except for work. Yugi will call if they need us, so relax. You know Yugi. Heba is stubborn, but if Yugi thinks that something is up, he's going to call." Yami said.
"I know. I'm just a little concerned." Atemu said.
"I get that, but Heba is fine with Yugi." Yami said.
Atemu nodded, and the two continued to eat their lunch.
After thirty minutes, Yugi had had enough.
"Heba, I am calling Atemu." Yugi said.
"No. Yugi, I am fine." Heba said.
"Heba, whether you want to believe it or not, you are in labor. You are having these pains every ten minutes, so I think that you're in labor." Yugi said.
"Yugi-" Heba started.
"Heba, you are going to the hospital. I don't want to hear anything else about it." Yugi said.
Heba groaned. "You're being worse than Atemu." Heba said.
"Maybe because you're being stubborn about this. Did you two already pack your bags?" Yugi asked.
"Yes." Heba said.
"Where is it?" Yugi asked.
"The hall closet. It's a red bag." Heba said.
Yugi went to the hall closet and found the bag. He picked it up and walked back into the living room. "Come on. We're going. We'll call Yami and Atemu on the way there." Yugi said.
With Yugi's help, Heba stood up.
The moment Heba was up, he then doubled over in pain.
"Heba!" Yugi exclaimed, dropped the bag and holding his brother.
"Yugi, I think you're right. I waited way too long." Heba said.
"Why?" Yugi asked.
"My water broke." Heba said.
Yami and Atemu were walking back to the car.
"Do you think that we should go back and get Yugi and Heba something?" Yami asked.
"Might, although it might be better just to get one of everything so that Heba can choose what he wants." Atemu said.
"He'd probably eat everything." Yami remarked.
"True." Atemu agreed.
Yami's phone rang.
"Hello?" Yami said.
"Yami, it's me. I need you to get Atemu to the hospital. Heba's gone into labor. I'm driving him to the hospital now."Yugi said.
"Are you sure?" Yami asked.
"Yes, he's sure! Get Atemu to the hospital!" Heba shouted.
"You heard him. Now hurry up." Yugi said.
Yami shut his phone and grabbed Atemu. "Come on. We've got to go." Yami said.
"What is it? Did something happen with Heba?" Atemu asked worriedly.
"Yugi said that Heba's gone into labor. He's taking him to the hospital now, so that's where we're going." Yami said.
"What?!" Atemu exclaimed.
"Come on." Yami said.
The two headed for the car.
"Atemu, give me the keys." Yami said.
"Why?" Atemu demanded.
"Because I don't want you to kill us because you decide that you don't need to be careful trying to get to the hospital. You're too nervous for that anyway." Yami said.
Atemu decided not to argue and threw Yami the keys.
Yami got behind the wheel, and Atemu got in the passenger seat, and the two headed for the hospital.
Yugi arrived at the hospital with Heba. He got out and then helped Heba into the hospital.
"You were right. I was being way too stubborn." Heba said.
"I told you." Yugi said.
The two made their way into the hospital where they were met by a nurse.
"What is the problem?" the nurse asked.
"I'm in labor. That's what's wrong." Heba snapped.
The woman's eyes widened at that. She instantly started giving orders.
"Yugi, you're staying with me until Atemu gets here." Heba said.
"I know. I'm not leaving until Atemu comes." Yugi said.
The nurses took Heba back, and Yugi went with him.
"I'm sorry, sir, but you can't go back." the nurse said.
"Listen. My fiancé is on his way here. Until he gets here, I want my brother to stay with me, and that's final." Heba said. His tone left no room for arguments.
The nurses let it drop.
Yugi hid a smirk. 'You don't mess with someone who is pregnant.' Yugi thought.
After getting Heba into a room, Yugi sat by his bedside.
"Do you think that Atemu will get here in time?" Heba asked.
"I'm certain that he will. Don't worry. Atemu wouldn't miss this for anything." Yugi said, taking Heba's hand into his own.
Yami and Atemu arrived into at the hospital and parked.
The two quickly made their way into the hospital and went to the front desk.
"Excuse me. My fiancé was just brought in. He's having our baby." Atemu said.
"What's his name?" the woman asked.
"Heba Mutou." Yami replied.
The woman looked it up and said, "He's in 428 on the delivery floor."
Atemu and Yami left the find the room.
It wasn't long before they did find the room.
"Heba!" Atemu exclaimed, rushing in to the room.
"Hey, Atemu." Heba said.
"Are you okay?" Atemu asked.
"I'm fine, Atemu. Don't worry about me." Heba said.
"Yes, except for the fact that you were being stubborn." Yugi said.
"Stubborn? How?" Atemu asked.
"We should have gone to the hospital thirty minutes sooner, but Heba insisted he wasn't in labor. When I finally convinced him to go, his water broke." Yugi said.
"I didn't agree. You ordered me to go." Heba said.
"It's a good thing that he did." Atemu said.
"Well, since this is your deal, Yugi and I will be in the waiting room." Yami said.
The two left the room.
Atemu turned back to Heba. "Are you ready for this?" Atemu asked.
"Well, I don't have a choice, but to be ready. Besides, I think that I'm ready to meet our daughter." Heba said.
"That makes two of us." Atemu said.
"Is there anyone that we should call to let them know?" Yugi asked.
"Well, we can call Seto and Joey. They're in town right now. As for the others, none of them are in town. We can wait and let them know when the baby arrives." Yami said.
Yugi nodded.
Yami walked off and called Seto. He walked back over after finishing the call and said, "Seto and Joey are on their way."
Yugi nodded.
The two sat down to wait and see when Heba would have the baby.
Heba was in full labor and ready to have the baby.
"Don't worry, Heba. You'll be fine." Atemu said.
"Glad that you're so confidant about that because I not so sure." Heba said.
Atemu smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek. "I know that you'll be okay." Atemu said.
~Four Hours Later~
"All right, Heba. I need you to push." the doctor told him.
Heba did as he was told, and at the same time that he pushed, he squeezed Atemu's hand tightly.
"You're doing great, Heba." Atemu told him as he used a wet cloth to wipe the sweat away from Heba's face.
Yugi, Yami, Seto, and Joey were waiting in the waiting room to hear when Heba had had the baby.
"What is taking them so long?" Joey asked.
"Puppy, will you calm down? Having a baby takes time. Heba will have the baby when the times comes." Seto said.
"Seto's right. All we can do is wait until the baby is born." Yugi said.
"I'm just worried because it is taking so damn ling." Joey said, pacing.
"Joey, if you don't stop pacing, you are going to be the one who needs a doctor because I'm going to break your legs." Yami said.
Joey gulped and immediately sat down beside Seto.
"Heba, I need you to give me one more hard push." the doctor said.
"I don't know if I can." Heba said.
"Yes, you can, Heba. Just one more." Atemu told him.
Tightening his grip on Atemu's hand, Heba gave one more hard push.
A few moments later, there was the sound of a baby crying.
"Well, it looks like your little girl is here." the doctor said.
A nurse handed the crying baby over to Atemu and Heba.
"Hey, baby." Atemu said.
"She's finally here." Atemu added.
When Atemu came out to them, the four immediately got on their feet.
"Seto. Joey. When did you get here?" Atemu asked, surprised to see them.
"Yami called to let us know that Heba was in labor." Seto answered.
Atemu looked at his brother. "Who else did you call?" Atemu asked.
"No one. I figure we can call everyone else and tell them then." Yami said.
"Is Heba all right?" Yugi asked.
"He's doing just fine. We had a healthy baby girl." Atemu said.
"Well, it's about time I had a female cousin." Seto said.
"What did you name here?" Joey asked.
"We had already decided on Mayella Elizabeth." Atemu replied.
"Whose last name did she get?" Atemu asked.
"Given that when Heba and I get married he's taking the name Sennen, we have her that one." Atemu said.
"Can we see them?" Yugi asked.
"Yeah. Follow me." Atemu said. He led them down the halls until they reached the room that Heba had been put in.
"Hey." Heba said when he saw them.
"Hey, yourself. Heard you had a girl." Joey said.
"Yeah. Did Atemu tell you what we named her?" Heba asked.
"Yeah. I think that Mayella is a beautiful name." Yugi said.
"Not too common, though." Yami remarked.
"That was our goal." Atemu said.
"Where is she?" Seto asked.
"The nurses should be bringing her here pretty soon." Heba answered.
It wasn't long before a nurse did bring Mayella into the room to them.
Mayella had the same tri-color hair, and she had crimson eyes.
"She's going to be quite the boy magnet with those looks." Yami said.
"Which is why there will be a lot of dead boys, too." Atemu said.
"Now, Atemu. We have quite a few years before we have to deal wit that." Heba said as he held Mayella.
Yami and Yugi were in their room at the mansion. They were the only ones there since Atemu was staying at the hospital with Heba.
"You know, I'm real happy for them." Yugi said.
"I know. We have a very beautiful niece." Yami said.
"Yeah. We do. I could tell that Atemu and Heba were very happy." Yugi said.
"Atemu was thrilled when he first learned that Heba was pregnant. He's been excited from the start." Yami said.
"Do you think that you would like to have children one day?" Yugi asked.
"Yes, I would. Maybe not right now, but in the future, I would." Yami said. He tightened his hold on Yugi and said, "Of course, I would rather have them with you."
Yugi looked up and smiled. "I was just thinking the same thing." Yugi said.
Yami leaned down and kissed Yugi. "You know, even if we aren't planning to have children, we could always practice for it." Yami said.
"Raising a child or conception?" Yugi asked.
"Conception, of course.' Yami answered before pouncing on Yugi.
