Cards And Secrets - YAOI CHAP 20

We headed to bed after me beating everyone at duel monsters, watching some movies and dancing some. Joey had fallen asleep on the floor. Duke had thrown up and then fallen asleep on our bathroom floor, everyone else was dotted around our house, including Marik and Malik in a very compromising position on the kitchen table. Yes. The kitchen table, of all places. Bakura and Ryou once again shared the spare bedroom, as as I walked hand in hand with Yugi down our hall, we didnt need to peek through the door, to see that they were once again violating the bedsheets. I slapped my face with how obvious they were being and I continued to pull Yugi. We arrived in our bedroom, shutting the door to also shut out the noise. I chuckled and shook my head. Yugi pulled his clothes off and climbed into bed. I undid my pants and they hit the floor, with half of my change scattering and fleeing from vision. I muttered a curse under my breath and sighed. Yugi just giggled at me. "What are you laughing at?" I chuckled playfully with a cocky smile thrown at him. "You and how silly you can be," He giggled. I jumped on the bed, piling onto him and tickled him. He squealed and giggled trying to get free from my clutches. I played with him gently enjoying his angel like giggles escaping his lips.

My thoughts then drifted again. They imagined our unborn child. I pictured a little boy and me tickling him and him playfully batting my hand away, mystrength with Yugi's giggle. A little girl with long black flowing hair going past her shoulders, with my gold and purple streaks going through right to the tips with Yugi's soft eyes and her giggle also matching Yugi's. It was then that it dawned on me, no matter what gender our baby would be, they'd be the most cute-est baby in the world. It was also then, that I for some reason imagined that little girl with an Egyptian crown. She looked positively beautiful, a definate heart stealer for sure. Gods, my father would have adorned a beautiful little girl like that as his grand-daughter. She'd be a perfectly rare jewel in his crown of valuables and only the best of Egyptian men would take her. She'd make a beautiful Queen of Egypt.

  At that very moment. I had my heart set on a little girl.

Yugi had started crying with the tickles, his arms flailed about madly swinging in time with his legs. However he accidentily hit my wound which snapped me right out of my thoughts and had me thrown back on our bed hissing in agony. Yugi stopped dead. I rolled around hissing trying to squash and hide my pain. "OH GODS, Yami are you okay?" He cried upset he'd possibly caused me a deeper injury. I stayed silent dulling the pain and forcing it to subside within me. "Yami, My love, are you alright, I didnt mean to hurt you, i'm really sorry," He started getting a little upset for hurting me. I sat up, not wanting my little one to worry or to burst into tears. "I'm fine little one, you just caught me off guard is all," I replied gently and stopping rolling around. I sat up and sighed. Yugi looked at me intently, his eyes full of remorse and sorrow. "Dont be upset little one, i know you didnt mean it," I added pulling him in for a hug. He hesitated for a moment but I squashed our bodies together. "Can I see it?" Yugi asked, mid hug. I reeled away.

"You wish to see my wound?" I asked a little confused. "Yes, now take your top off," He replied. I removed my top, wincing slightly as the fabric hit the sensitive spot again. Yugi peeled away the bandages and looked concerned. "That looks incredibly painful, how do you cope?" he asked concern lacing his tone. "Its not without difficulty," I sighed but adding a smile gently. He smiled back. I went to continue tickling him but he pulled away. "No, Yami i dont wish to hurt you again," He said. I was a little hurt but I understood. "Can I at least make love to you Yugi?" I asked playfully with a smirk. He smiled back, I was waiting for his nod. But it never came. "No Yami, You're recovering and I am sorry but I am quite tired," He replied. I was inwardly shocked at his reply but Bakura had mentioned that Pregnancy will drain Ryou and Yugi quite quickly and it would happen very often. "Can I at least cuddle you then? Buzzkill," I said with a playful tease. He chuckled and nodded. "You devilishly cute habibi," I added and he blushed. He laid down and I cuddled him.

"Yami?" Yugi asked after moments of silence passed. "Yes Aibou?" I replied softly. "Have you wondered what our baby will look like?" He asked. "Why yes, i was thinking about it not just ten minutes ago," I replied. "Would you prefer a boy or a girl?" Yugi asked. "I would be ecstatic either way little one, however when I was thinking earlier, I pictured her a girl, and she was beautiful," I sighed content. "What did she look like?" He asked trying to keep the conversation going for as long as possible. I explained What my vision showed me and he sighed happily. "Any names you like?" I asked him. "Well I like Sakira," He said softly. "Sagira," I corrected him. "No Sakira, where did Sagira come from?" He asked getting up slightly. "Sorry, its Ancient Egyptian, Sagira was the goddess of Darkness," I replied. I looked a little confused til he took it all in. "Ah, well Sagira is really nice lets leave that as one of our options, is there any names you liked Yami?" He asked softly and settling back down. I mumbled for a moment but I had nothing. Yugi sighed a little. "Can you speak your old language still?" He asked after a pause.

"Egyptian? Yeah why?" I asked curious. "Do you have a name for little?" He asked. I smiled and snuggled into his back. "Well sort of, It basically means little one," I said softly. "So if we were in Ancient Egypt, Instead of little one, what would you call me?" Yugi asked again. I chuckled. "I would call you Yugi, but instead of little one it would be Keket," I chuckled and slightly purred at the same time. "Keket?" He asked. "Mhhm humm," I mumbled back. "I like that, Keket, Keket," Yugi added rolling the name around his tongue which made my heart warm to see him learning my original language.

"Do You miss it?" He asked. I stopped snuggling into his back. "Miss what, Keket?" I asked and loved his smile as I said it. "Egypt, your true time," Yugi replied and as he said so, it opened a vast collection of memories of my up-bringing in the sandy place, my heart lurched as it yearned for the true place to call home. I remained silent. "Yami?" He asked sitting up again. "Of course I miss it Yugi, My father, my country, my daily boring meetings, I miss it all, but I chose you and I stand by my decision," I replied firmly. "Is there no way to return?" He asked persuing the sensitive matter close to my heart. This time I sat up and looked deep into his eyes. "Possibly, but that would mean leaving you and my unborn baby here, and there's not a chance in hell i'd even consider such things," I replied, but slightly snapped.

"Could we not come with you, you said yourself that you would have loved to have me and still rule Egypt," Yugi added again. He knew I did not wish to discuss this, but he knew I wouldnt yell at him or be angry with him even if he did, so he persued it anyway. "No Yugi, if you was to try to come with me, it would alter time in the past, considering I then wouldnt be trapped in the puzzle in the first place and there-fore I would have never had met you, in which case you'd have no original spirit back in Ancient Egypt so you would just fade from existence and I love you too much to see that happen to you," I replied and watched him wince as I said such things. "Please understand that yes I do miss my old life but I chose this one, and i'd never choose any different," I added brushing his cheek with my thumb before kissing him.

Yugi sighed defeated by my emotional display of reactions and laid back down. I too laid down contented that he finally decided to drop the subject. I snuggled into his back and I fell asleep.

A month went by after we cleared up the house the next morning, during the month I was constantly watching Yugi throw up and continue to be by his side. We both dropped out from school and decided to start a family life. I managed to convince Grandpa in having me run the shop for him as a full time job, that way he got his rest in his old age and I recieved a permament job, of course helping the customers come into the shop being the King Of Games does help. I also was paid or comissioned as Yugi called it, to help rich kids build a duelling deck in which they could enter tornaments, however not so powerful enough that it could even think to rival my deck. On the days I worked, Yugi came with me as something to do and so that he could spend some time with Grandpa and so that he could read whilst I worked but not being in any danger, it was a convienient compromise that left us both happy.

Yugi had developed a very cute petite bump, but with the little bump came all of Yugi's constant mood swings. Like today, he was getting mad because I forgot to take the rubbish out. "Do YOU EVER listen to me?!" He was yelling in pure rage. I just raised an eyebrow, brushing it off because I knew my Yugi would apologise later. "DONT IGNORE ME!" He screamed. "I do listen Yugi, please calm down Keket," I replied softly turning a page of my book I was reading Casually on the sofa. "DONT USE THAT WEIRD LANGUAGE ON ME!" He screamed and I chuckled at the fact just earlier he was blushing and getting all cutesy because I'd said the same word. "So now i'm just funny? is that what i am a joke?!" He cried mouth wobbling and tears started pouring from his eyes. He'd Gone from mad to sad in under a minute. I put the book down and went to comfort him like I usually did. "I didnt say that Yugi, please calm down," I said softly again, and started to pull him in for a hug.

He accepted and  I cuddled him as he sobbed more unusual reasons for being sad. "I am a joke, I cant do anything right, look at me i'm fat," He cried again, tears streaming harder. "You're not fat Yugi you are gorgeous and cute and perfect," I said patting and rubbing his back and trying my up-most best to not chuckle as the random things he came out with, I had a particular dis-taste for angry Yugi. "I'm not even my toes look weird," He sobbed again. I smirked inwardly knowing that we'd joke about this later. "Your toes are cute Yugi, they dont look weird," I hushed kissing his forhead and rocking him gently. "And my hair is too flat," He sniffed, his cries being snuffed into soft sniffles now. This time I had to chuckle. "Yugi look at it, we both have huge spiky hair, you're hair is not flat at all," I chuckled with every couple of words. He smiled and looked into my eyes, I noticed his were all red and puffy.

He was coming back to me. My happy Yugi.

"You're handsome my Keket," I soothed and he giggled as I wiggled my nose against his. "I'm sorry I exploded I dont know what came over me," He sniffed. I soothed him again and trailed butterfly kisses over his face as he giggled. "You are crazy Keket, but its our young one who's making you all topsy turvy," I cooed as I gently rubbed his swollen belly. I giggled as I did so. "Now come on gorgeous, lets go watch a movie and chill out. We'll get a take-away pizza tonight," I said as I sat him down on the sofa, picked out a movie, and turned it on. I then returned to the sofa, dialled for the pizza and started the movie. Yugi rested his head on my lap, watching on his side as I gently ran my fingers through his hair, occasionally playing with it, knowing it soothed him greatly. I sighed inwardly, knowing I still had eight more months of this to go.

Oh Ra Help me...
