Chapter 29: Pregnant?
Yugi woke up and felt nauseous instantly. He covered his mouth. 'What is wrong with me? Why am I so sick?' Yugi asked himself. He climbed out of bed, and the moment that his feet hit the floor, Yugi ran into the bathroom and threw up.
When Yugi was done, he walked back out of the room.
'I guess Yami has already gone to the office.' Yugi thought.
Since they had an entire wing of the mansion for themselves, Yami had turned one of the rooms into an office for him to use when he wanted to do his work from home, and since the office building hadn't been finished yet, Yami was working from home until the building was finished.
Yugi sat down on the bed and groaned. 'I hate this,' Yugi thought.
Deciding to take a shower in hopes that it would make him feel better, Yugi took the shower and then went downstairs. His nausea had faded some, but not too much.
"Morning, Yugi." Heba said.
"Morning." Yugi said.
"You okay?" Heba asked, noticing his brother looked a little green.
"Not sure. I've woken up sick the last few mornings, and I have nausea pretty much all morning, not to mention the fact that I am real irritable, and I can't even think about food without feeling sick or actually getting sick." Yugi said.
"How long exactly have you felt this way?" Heba asked.
"I've felt nausea for a week, but I've been getting sick the last three mornings. Why?" Yugi asked.
Heba sat down across from his brother. "Yugi, when was the last time that you and Yami, well, you know." Heba said.
"I think it was the day that you called when we were packing. Too much has been going on since we got here." Yugi said.
"Couldn't fight him off, huh?" Heba asked.
"Heba, you should know how hard it is to fight of a Sennen man." Yugi said.
"Point taken. Moving on. Yugi, I think that you might be pregnant." Heba said.
Yugi looked at his brother in shock. "What?" Yugi asked.
Heba nodded. "Yugi, I felt the exact same way when I was first pregnant with Mayella." Heba said.
"Oh, man. What do I do?" Yugi asked.
"First, we are going out." Heba said.
"Why?" Yugi asked.
"Because we're doing when I did. I took a home pregnancy test first. I took three of them to be sure. When they all turned out positive, I made a doctor's appointment. That's when it was confirmed that I was pregnant. Now, I'll go and get Mayella ready, and we'll leave." Heba said.
Yugi nodded, and Heba went upstairs.
Yugi went and got himself a glass of orange juice and drank it, hoping it would help with his nausea.
"Morning, Yugi." Yami said.
Yugi turned and smiled. "Morning, Yami." Yugi said.
Yami leaned down and kissed Yugi on the lips.
"I figured you would be working." Yugi said.
"I am, but I took a break. The restaurant should be finished by the end of next week." Yami said.
"That's good news." Yugi said.
"Yeah, it is. It means that I will be the only one that is stuck here all day." Yami said.
"What about me?" Heba asked.
Yami and Yugi turned to find that Heba had returned downstairs with Mayella.
"You stay here all the time by choice, Heba. I don't have that choice at the moment." Yami said.
"Making excuses doesn't help, Yami." Heba said.
Yami glared at Heba while Heba just smiled.
Heba turned to Yugi and said, "Ready to go?"
"Yeah." Yugi said, putting his glass in the sink.
"Where are you going?" Yami asked.
"Well, Heba and I are going out." Yugi said.
"Where are you going?" Yami asked.
"There's no telling what we're going to do. Yugi and I are going to have a brother's day out." Heba said.
"And you're taking Mayella along?" Yami asked.
"Well, either I take her, or you'll have to watch her." Heba said.
"You three have fun." Yami said before retreating upstairs.
Yugi laughed. "Yami sure left in a hurry." Yugi said.
"That's because he doesn't want to baby-sit. Come on." Heba said.
The two left the mansion.
"I hope that you're right about this." Yugi muttered.
"Yugi, trust me. This is the best way." Heba said.
"If you say so. I just felt so ridiculous buying those pregnancy tests." Yugi said.
"Trust me. I know the feeling. I felt the same way when I did it, but it was necessary." Heba said.
Yugi nodded. "What doctor am I going to call if these tests are positive?" Yugi asked.
"Don't worry. You can call the one that I used." Heba said.
"Okay. That's one less thing for me to worry about." Yugi said.
"Do you want to go on back to the mansion so that you can take these tests? I can tell that this is going to drive you crazy until you know one way or another." Heba said.
"How can we do that without Yami finding out?" Yugi asked.
"Simple. We do them in my room." Heba said.
"Okay. Let's go." Yugi said.
"Heba, are you sure that we shouldn't wait until tomorrow morning? That's what the box says." Yugi said.
"Shoot. I forgot about that. Okay. I'm going to call my doctor and explain the situation. We'll go ahead and set up an appointment for you. We can always cancel it if the test is negative." Heba said.
Yugi nodded.
Heba picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello?"
"Doctor Brant, its Heba Mutou." Heba said.
"Hello, Heba. You're not pregnant again, are you?" Dr. Brant asked.
"No. I'm not pregnant again. I think my brother might be, though." Heba said.
"Oh. I see." Dr. Brant said.
"Listen. Could we set up and appointment for him for tomorrow. We're going to do a home pregnancy test in the morning, but if it's positive, it would be nice to have an appointment already." Heba said.
"Okay. Well, I have a space open at eleven." Dr. Brant said.
"Eleven?" Heba said, looking at Yugi.
Yugi nodded, saying that the time was okay.
"Yeah. We'll be there." Heba said.
"Okay. What is your brother's name?" Dr. Brant asked.
"Yugi Mutou." Heba replied.
"All right. I'll you both tomorrow then." Dr. Brant said.
"Thank you, Dr. Brant." Heba said before hanging up. Heba turned to Yugi and said, "Well, you'll know tomorrow."
"Yeah, and I'm going to crazy until then." Yugi said.
That night, Atemu and Heba were in their room getting ready to go to bed.
"Talk about a day. I've been overrun with stuff the last few days." Atemu said.
"What's been going on?" Heba asked.
"We've had a few major screw-ups in production. It's taking a lot to get everything straightened out." Atemu said.
Heba smiled. "Well, you always end up fixing whatever mess-ups happen, so I'm sure that you'll straighten this out in no time." Heba said.
"Thanks, Heba." Atemu said. He got his nightclothes to change and saw a bag on the dresser. "Heba, what's this?" Atemu asked, opening the bag.
Heba turned to face him. "What's what?" Heba asked, having forgotten about the pregnancy tests being on the dresser.
Atemu was shocked. "Heba, what are these?' Atemu asked, showing Heba the tests.
"Atemu, I can explain." Heba said.
"Are you pregnant again?" Atemu asked.
Heba sighed. "No, Atemu. I am not pregnant again." Heba said.
"Then why do you have these?" Atemu asked, holding up one.
Heba sighed again. "Atemu, promise me that you won't say a word to Yami when I tell you." Heba said.
"I won't, but what does Yami have to do with the fact that you have these?" Atemu asked.
"Well, Yugi and I think that Yugi might be pregnant, and the tests are for him." Heba said.
"What? Are you sure?" Atemu asked.
"No, I'm not sure. That's why we have the tests. He was telling me how he's been feeling lately, and I recognized them as how I felt when I was first pregnant with Mayella. It's best to take the tests in the morning, so we're waiting. He'll go see Dr. Brant at eleven if the tests are positive." Heba said.
"Then why do you have them here?" Atemu asked.
"Yugi didn't want to tell Yami that he might not be pregnant and get Yami's hopes up and then find out that he's not pregnant. He wants to be sure before he tells Yami. You know that I did the same thing with you." Heba said.
"Okay. I get it." Atemu said.
"Yugi's kind of nervous about this, so I'll be going with him when he sees Dr. Brant, and he'll do the tests in here, so don't be surprised if you see them in our trash." Heba said.
"Okay. Thanks for the warning." Atemu said.
"And Atemu?" Heba said.
"Yeah." Atemu said, turning to face Heba.
"Do not breathe a word of this to Yami, or you are going to be a very sex deprived man. Understood?" Heba asked.
Atemu gulped at this, knowing that Heba would follow through with his threat. "Yeah. I get it. I won't tell Yami anything about this." Atemu said.
"Good. Now, let's go on to bed." Heba said.
The next morning, as soon as Yugi got up, he headed over to Heba's room, knowing that Atemu would already be at work. He knocked on the door to Heba's room.
Heba opened the door and pulled Yugi inside, closing the door.
"All right. Where are the tests?" Yugi asked.
"On the dresser, and I should warn you that Atemu knows you might be pregnant." Heba said.
"Why did you tell him?" Yugi asked.
"Well, technically, I didn't want to. I forgot to hide the tests last night, and he found them. He thought that I might be pregnant again, and when I told him that I knew I wasn't, he wanted to know why I had them, so I told him. He promised me that he wouldn't tell Yami anything." Heba said.
"How do you know he won't? I'm not saying Atemu would lie and go against his word, but if I am pregnant, his brother is the father, so Atemu would want him to know." Yugi said.
"Yugi, Atemu won't. He would want you to tell him. Besides, he knows that if he tells Yami, he's going to be sex deprived for a while." Heba said.
"Does threatening with no sex actually work?" Yugi asked.
Heba smirked. "Like a charm. You can get just about anything out of them when you threaten their sex life. How do you think I got that Hawaii vacation after we were dating a year?" Heba asked.
"That's how you got that?" Yugi asked.
Heba nodded. "Now, go do the tests." Heba said.
Yugi went into the bathroom and came out after a few moments. "Now what?" Yugi asked.
"We wait for ten minutes and then we check them.
Yugi waited a little bit and then said, "How long has it been?"
"A minute." Heba said.
"Why did it seem like five?" Yugi asked.
"Because you're nervous and want an answer. Trust me. I was checking my watch every five seconds when I did them." Heba said.
Heba turned on the TV to hopefully take Yugi's mind off of the fact that he could be pregnant. It didn't last long.
"What am I going to do if I am pregnant? I'm not sure that I'm ready to have a baby? And what about Yami? What if he doesn't want a child right now? What about the restaurant? I am head chef. What if-" Yugi was pacing and rambling.
Heba stood up and grabbed Yugi by the shoulders, forcing him to sit down. "Yugi, sit down and calm down. Take a breath." Heba ordered.
Yugi did as he was told and took a seep breath.
"Okay. I am certain that Yami will love the fact that he is going to be a father. You can handle being pregnant. Yami can find a temporary replacement when the time comes. Yugi, don't worry about it. You'll be fine." Heba said.
"You sure?" Yugi asked.
"I am positive." Heba said.
Yugi took another deep breath. "Okay, Heba. Thanks." Yugi said.
"No problem." Heba replied.
When the ten minutes were up, the two went into the bathroom.
"Okay. Pick a brand and tell me which one it is." Heba said.
Yugi told him the first one.
"Okay. Two lines pregnant, one line not pregnant." Heba said.
Yugi looked at the test. He gulped and said, "Two lines."
"That means pregnant. Next one." Heba said.
Yugi told him the next brand.
"Okay. Pink, pregnant. White, not pregnant." Heba said.
Yugi looked and said, "Pink."
"Another pregnant. Last one. Three lines pregnant, two lines no pregnant." Heba said.
Yugi looked and said, "T-three lines."
"Three positives. Yugi, I think that it's safe to say that you are pregnant." Heba said.
"Oh boy." Yugi said.
"Come on." Heba said, walking Yugi into the room and having him sit on the bed.
"Well, I guess Yami and I are going to be parents." Yugi said.
"Three pregnancy tests that were positive, I would say that it's a safe assumption. Dr. Brant will tell us for sure if you are or not." Heba said.
"Okay." Yugi agreed.
"Where are you three going?" Yami asked.
Heba and Yugi turned to face Yami. Heba had Mayella.
"We're going out." Heba said.
"But you went out yesterday." Yami protested.
"Well, you've had my brother to yourself for almost a year. I want to spend some time with him. Deal with it." Heba said.
With that, Yugi and Heba left.
Yami sighed. "I guess I'll have to learn to share Yugi now." Yami said.
Yugi and Heba sat in the waiting room, waiting to be called back to see Dr. Brant.
"Yugi, calm down." Heba said.
"Sorry, but I'm still a little nervous." Yugi said.
"I know. Don't worry." Heba said.
"Yugi Mutou." a nurse called.
Yugi and Heba went back where they waited for Dr. Brant to come.
Dr. Brant came in. "Hello, Heba." Dr. Brant said.
"Hi, Dr. Brant. This is my brother, Yugi." Heba said.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Dr. Brant." Dr. Brant said, shaking Yugi's hand.
"Nice to meet you." Yugi said.
"As I understand it, you think that you might be pregnant." Dr. Brant said.
"Yes. I took three home pregnancy tests this morning, and they all came back positive." Yugi said.
"Okay. Usually if more than one home pregnancy test says positive, you're pregnant, but the blood test will confirm it." Dr. Brant said.
"Okay." Yugi said.
Dr. Brant took the blood that was needed and sent it to the lab. "I'll call by three this afternoon with the results." Dr. Brant said.
"Okay. Thanks." Yugi said.
Yugi waited anxiously all day for the call.
"Yugi, calm down. You'll find out soon." Heba said.
"I know." Yugi said.
"Now, make your move." Heba said.
Yugi moved his chest piece.
Heba then made his one move.
"Checkmate." Yugi said when he made the next move.
"Why can't I ever beat you?" Heba asked.
"I don't know. I thought for sure you would win this time with me so distracted." Yugi said.
Yugi's phone rang.
Yugi picked it up and said, "Hello?"
"Mr. Mutou, this is Dr. Brant. I have your test results." Dr. Brant said.
"Okay, Dr. Brant. What is the verdict?" Yugi asked.
"Congratulations. You're pregnant." Dr. Brant said.
"I am?" Yugi asked.
"Yes. I'll schedule another check-up for next week. Can you be there Wednesday at nine in the morning?" Dr. Brant asked.
"Yes, I can. Thank you." Yugi said before hanging up.
"Well?" Heba asked.
"I'm pregnant." Yugi said excitedly.
"Yugi, that's great!" Heba said, hugging his brother.
"I know. I'm excited now that I know for sure." Yugi said.
"I told you. When are you telling Yami?" Heba asked.
"I'll tell him tonight." Yugi said.
That night, Yugi and Yami were taking a quiet walk in the gardens.
"I love nights like this." Yami said.
"So do I." Yugi agreed.
The two continued walk around.
"Yami, there's something that I need to tell you." Yugi said.
"What's that?" Yami asked.
"Well, I didn't want to tell you until I was sure, but I found out that I'm pregnant." Yugi said.
"You are?!" Yami exclaimed.
Yugi nodded.
Yami then hugged Yugi tightly. "Yugi, that's great!" Yami said.
"I'm glad that you feel that way. I was worried that you wouldn't like the idea." Yugi said.
"I love it." Yami said.
"Well, just so you know, Heba knows, and he probably told Atemu." Yugi said.
"Why did you tell him first?" Yami asked, a little hurt.
"Well, I wasn't feeling well, and he got me to tell him about it. He mentioned that I might be pregnant, so we got home pregnancy tests, and I took them this morning. I didn't want you to know until I was sure, so I asked Heba to keep them in their room, and Atemu saw them, so Heba had to explain why they were there. He went with me when I went to the doctor to have the blood test, and he was with me when I got the call." Yugi said.
"That makes sense. You know, I think that I'm going to like this. I've always wanted kids." Yami said.
"I know. I guess we're getting a jump started on our family." Yugi said.
"Yes, I will." Yami said.
The two walked back into the mansion and found Heba and Atemu in the living room.
"Well, I guess we've joined the ranks of parenthood." Yami said.
"You are pregnant?" Atemu asked.
"Yeah. Heba didn't tell you?" Yugi asked.
"No, I didn't. He didn't ask, so I didn't tell him. I was going to let you." Heba said.
"Well, we'll be adding another child to this household." Atemu said.
"I think that it's a great idea." Yami said.
"So do I." Yami agreed.
After staying up and talking awhile, the two couples headed to bed.
