Chapter 31: The Second Wedding
Yugi sat on the couch with a clipboard in his lap while he was on the phone. "Yes. Thank you. I appreciate all of your help." Yugi said before he hung up. He checked something off and said, "Well, that's done."
Heba walked into the room with Mayella. "Hey, Yugi. What are you up to?" Heba asked,
"I was just dealing with some of the wedding plans." Yugi said, setting the clipboard down.
"How are they coming?" Heba asked.
"I'm halfway done with them, actually." Yugi replied.
"Really?" Heba asked.
Yugi nodded. "I want to get all of them done as soon as I can." Yugi said.
"You're going to have all of the wedding plans done a month before your wedding." Heba said.
"That would be the point. I didn't want to end up in the mess that you were in." Yugi said.
"Okay. So I slacked off a little." Heba said.
"A little?" Yugi questioned.
"Okay. A lot." Heba said.
"Thank you. You've always been a procrastinator, Heba, and I don't think that will ever change." Yugi said.
"Hey! I did get the nursery set up before Mayella was born." Heba said in his defense.
"Whose idea was it to start the nursery?" Yugi asked.
"Well, Atemu's, actually." Heba admitted.
"I rest my case." Yugi said.
Heba sighed. "Okay. Maybe I am a procrastinator, but that' why I had you around when we were kids. You always got my butt in gear, and got me to do whatever it was that needed to be done, and I have Atemu for that now." Heba said.
"And yet, you waited until the last minute to start the wedding plans." Yugi said.
"That would be the only time that Atemu didn't push me to do anything." Heba said.
Yugi shook his head and watched Mayella in the floor.
"You ready for parenthood?" Heba asked.
"Do I have a choice?" Yugi asked.
"No, not really." Heba said.
"I'm sure that you and Atemu thought that you weren't ready for parenthood when you were pregnant." Yugi said.
"That is true. We were pretty scared at first." Heba agreed.
"And you two turned out to be great parents. I know that Yami and I will be okay. We just need to get acclimated to the fact that we are parents now." Yugi said.
"Well, you're going to be parents, anyway." Heba said.
"Yeah. I know." Yugi said.
"Are you and Yami ready for when the babies come?" Heba asked.
"Well, we were going to worry about the wedding first and then having the babies. We're just going to deal with one life changing event at a time." Yugi said.
"Not a bad idea." Heba said.
"You and Atemu pretty much did the same thing." Yugi said.
"Well, the reason that we waited until after Mayella was born to get married was because I didn't want to get married while I was pregnant." Heba said.
"In any case, we're going to deal with the wedding first and then we'll worry about when the babies come." Yugi said.
"You do realize that the two of you already have the nursery ready." Heba said.
"I know that." Yugi said.
"Dealing with one life changing even at a time?" Heba asked.
"I was referring to when I go into labor and have them, not getting ready for them." Yugi said.
"Have you two decided on names?" Heba asked.
"Yes." Yugi answered.
"Well?" Heba prodded.
"You're not going to find out right now." Yugi said.
"Why not?" Heba asked.
"Because Yami and I agreed that we wouldn't tell anyone until after they were born." Yugi said.
"Okay. I get it." Heba said.
"Good." Yugi said.
"How much of the wedding have you gotten planned?" Heba asked.
"Most of it, actually." Yugi said.
"Geez. How is that you can get these things done so easily when I struggle to get them done?" Heba asked.
"Probably because I don't wait until the last minute to start them, and I also organize how I am going to do them. The fact that I am good at multi-tasking helps." Yugi said.
"I'll say. There's no way that I could work and plan a wedding." Heba said.
Yugi looked at his watch. "Speaking of work, I need to get there, and I have a doctor's appointment afterwards." Yugi said.
"You need to go then?" Heba asked.
"Yes, I do. Now, if you will excuse me, I will be going." Yugi said. He stood up and left the room.
"He is a workaholic." Heba muttered.
"I am not! I enjoy working and doing what I do!" Yugi retorted.
"Mayella, you're uncle has some good hearing." Heba said, picking up his daughter.
"I'm gone!" Yugi called.
"Bye!" Heba called.
A moment later, the door shut.
Yugi left the restaurant after his shift was over and headed for the doctor's office.
Yami arrived at the doctor's office at the same time that Yugi did.
"Hey, Yami." Yugi said.
"Hi, Yugi." Yami said, kissing Yugi on the cheek.
"Did you have any trouble getting out of anything?" Yugi asked.
"No, I didn't. I didn't have much to do today except for paperwork." Yami said.
"Okay." Yugi said.
The two went in, and Yugi signed in. They then went and sat down.
"You have still been feeling all right, haven't you?" Yami asked.
"Yes, Yami. I have been fine." Yugi said.
"Yugi Mutou." a nurse called.
Yugi and Yami went back and were shown to the office.
"Hi, Yugi. How have you been doing?" Dr. Brant asked.
"I've been fine." Yugi answered.
"That's good, but let me see from a medical standpoint." Dr. Brant said. He checked Yugi over and found that Yugi was right. "Well, you are doing just fine. You just keep taking care of yourself." Dr. Brant said.
"I will." Yugi promised.
Yugi and Yami then left the doctor's office.
~June 15~
Yugi walked into his bedroom to find Yami on their bed. "Hey, Yami." Yugi said.
"Hey, Yugi. I forgot that you had the late shift tonight." Yami said, looking up.
"Yeah, I did, and I am tired." Yugi said. He walked over and sat down on the bed.
"You okay?" Yami asked.
"I'll feel better after a hot bath." Yugi said.
"Well, how about I get it ready for you?" Yami asked.
Yugi nodded.
Yami got up and went to get the bath ready.
After a few moments, Yugi got up and walked into the bathroom and started to undress.
Yami smirked. "Didn't know you wanted that?" Yami asked.
Yugi rolled his eyes. "Yami, there is no way that you are going to get sex tonight. I am way too tired." Yugi said.
"All right, but I think that I will stay in here and wash you." Yami said.
"Yami." Yugi said warningly.
"You know you have trouble being pregnant." Yami reminded him.
"Okay." Yugi agreed.
After getting done with the bath, the two walked into the bedroom.
"Yugi, why don't you sit down and let me give you a massage?" Yami asked.
Yugi nodded and sat down, and Yami started to massage Yugi's shoulders.
"I got the wedding plans finished." Yugi said.
"You did?" Yami asked.
"Yeah. Everything is set, and we still have a month until the wedding." Yugi said.
"That's good. You can relax for the next month." Yami said.
"Yes. I can. How about the honeymoon? Do you have it planned out?" Yugi asked.
"Yes. We're going to go on a cruise to the Bahamas." Yami said.
"We are?" Yugi asked.
"Yes. We're taking the week off, and we'll be going on that cruise." Yami said.
"That sounds nice." Yugi said.
"That would be the point." Yami said.
~July 15, the day of the wedding~
"Are you sure that I look okay, Heba?" Yugi asked.
"Yugi, you look fine." Heba said. He looked and said, "Come here."
"What?" Yugi asked, walking over.
"Your tie is a little crooked." Heba said, straightening it.
"Thanks. You've been a great help to me the last few days." Yugi said.
"Well, you and Yami decided to have a small wedding in the gardens of the mansion, so I decided that I would help you out this time around." Heba said.
"I appreciate it." Heba said.
"I was glad to do it. Now, all that is left is to get you and Yami hitched." Heba said.
"Heba." Yugi groaned.
"What? I wasn't sure that you would ever even try to find someone after what happened with Scott. I'm glad that you did find someone as good as Yami." Heba said.
"Thanks. I wasn't sure that I would ever find anyone either, but I did find someone great in the end." Yugi said.
"We both did. Grandpa would have been real happy for us." Heba said.
"Yeah. He would have." Yugi agreed.
"Okay, Yami, You look great in that." Atemu said.
"Thank you. I really would hate to look like a slob in my wedding day." Yami said.
"No chance of that happening." Atemu said.
"I appreciate the way that you've helped me and Yugi get the wedding set up over the last few days." Yami said.
"Hey. What's family for?" Atemu asked.
"Well, I am grateful for it." Yami said.
"No problem. I am just glad that after all those bad dates that you had that you finally found someone that is as good as Yugi." Atemu said.
"I know. Yugi's a good one." Yami agreed.
The time for the wedding to begin had come.
Yami was standing at the alter with Atemu, who was his best man.
When the music began, Yugi walked down the aisle to stand between Yami and Heba, who was his own best man.
The priest began. "We are gathered here today to join Yami Sennen and Yugi Mutou together in holy matrimony. Yami, do you take Yugi as your husband for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" the priest asked.
"I do." Yami replied.
"Yugi, do you take Yami as your husband for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" the priest asked.
"I do." Yugi said.
"The rings, please?" the priest asked.
Atemu and Heba gave their brothers the wedding bands.
"Yami, put the ring on Yugi's left hand and say 'with this ring, I thee wed'." the priest said.
Yami put the ring on Yugi's left hand and said, "With this ring, I thee wed."
"Yugi, put the ring on Yami's right hand and say 'with this ring, I thee wed." the priest said.
Yugi put the ring on Yami's right hand and said, "With this ring, I thee wed."
"I pronounce you married. You may kiss your husband." the priest said.
Yami and Yugi kissed each other.
"I present to you, for the first time, Yami and Yugi Sennen." the priest said.
Everyone clapped and cheered for them.
After the wedding reception, Yugi and Yami saw the guest off before going upstairs to get changed. They had to go to the docks to board the boat in an hour.
"Well, we'd better hurry if we want to get to the boat in time." Yami said as he changed into a pair of slacks and a black button-up shirt.
"I know that, Yami. We'll get there in time." Yugi said. He changed into a pair of slacks and a white button-up shirt.
"Yugi! Yami! Hurry up or you might miss your boat!" Atemu shouted.
"You know, I think that he wants us gone." Yami muttered.
"No. He wants us to have our honeymoon, which we won't have if we don't hurry." Yugi said.
Yami grabbed their luggage, and the two headed downstairs.
"Finally. I thought that you two wouldn't come." Atemu said.
"Atemu, we had to change." Yami said.
"I know, but I'm the one driving you, and I would like to get back here at a reasonable time." Atemu said.
"Atemu, you're fine on time." Heba said.
"Well, I would rather not take chance." Atemu said.
"He's right. We should go." Yami agreed.
"Thank you. Now let's go." Atemu said.
"Bye, Heba. See you in a week." Yugi said.
"Bye." Heba said.
Yugi, Yami, and Atemu left the house.
Yugi and Yami got to their boat in time and went on the cruise for their honeymoon.
