The Better Father

Disclaimer Note: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! No way, no how! If I did, the show would be WAY different!

A/N: To my dear reviewers:

heyy13: *gasps* Where the heck have you been?! *chuckles* Glad you discovered it. As for the spelling errors, no, I don't do them intentional. I sometimes do chapter updates very early, so it's nothing like that. I'm also from the South and we have a certain way of talking. But if you're meaning when Joey's talking out loud and not in his POV, that's intentional. I do that for his Bronx accent purpose only. Have to make it sound realistic, you know. Thanks for your review and your suggestions are in.

OA: YES! Seto is going to have twins! In this chapter, you will discover what they will be! And your suggestion was great! I hope we grossed out some people out there! Thanks for your reviews.

Nite Nite: *sweatdrops* Uh...I think these guys actually read Kaiba Spin tin the Lemon Series except Seto wants to be seme now! We have to find a way to control those raging hormones or else Joey's gonna really have a heart attack! Oreo cookies and ketchup...yech! Sounds good though for the craving that is. And Yami Marik is on the list!

mofaf- Minus the pickles here and you almost had me hungry! So you're going with the famous pickles and ice cream thing. We can't forget that!

26no- *takes a bow* Thank you, thank you! I have acheived the impossible! *laughs a bit* Yeah, I've seen some of the other guys get pregnant, but never Kaiba. I just had to do this. It sounded too good!

Now, my true notes...

The baby contest has ended! *random audience pouts* Sorry, guys! Our contest winners are:

1. Nite Nite
2. OA (goodness knows I can't get the entire thing out!)
3. mofaf
4. Case_Chan
5. heyy13
6. 26no
7. Sushi
8. Yami Marie

You guys get to be in the delivery room! Your prize is you get to see the babies and hold them and spoil them rotten so that the parents can go nuts! ^_^

Now, the fainting challenge (as said before) still continues. The craving challenge will continue until Seto goes into labor! You guys still have a chance to get yours up here! I don't know if I can fit every one of them here, but I'll try. To replace the Baby Challenge, I have one for you that will require hard thinking...or rather two.

1. What should the babies be named? You can think of first and middle names (last name will be Kaiba) and one has to be for a boy and one for a girl. You have until Labor Day (not the holiday mind you) for this one.

2. Yes, there is a sequel planned. We need to figure out Yami's "punishment", which will be this sequel. He will be pregnant as payback, but the fic will depend on you. If you got a title or an idea, put it in the reviews for this one. I might do multiple POV's in the sequel. You have until the end of this fic to think it up. I dunno how many chapters are left, but I will warn you ahead of time.

Thanks for so many hits! This story has gotten more hits than any I've ever wrote before in my life! I mean they're faster than what I had in the Lemon Series. Thank you guys so much! I feel honored!

Now, enough yakking and on with the story!

This chapter's cravings come from mofaf, Nite Nite, Yami Marie and 26no!

Chapter 10: Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun

Seto was definately showing some during his fourth month. It wasn't beach ball size yet, but you could tell something was in him. The kid inside him was also kicking, a very good sign. Liz and Mokuba loved hanging around Seto now and their favorite activity was feeling the baby kick inside him. You could also tell he was really getting moody at times though. The worst was when he caught a cold. Oh yeah. I forgot to mention this one.

~FLASHBACK~

"AHCHOO!"

"Bless you, Papa."

"Uh, thank you Liz."

Seto sat in a chair working on a laptop and sneezing his head off. Thank seasonal allergies for that! At least I knew he had one weakness and that was allergies. Sitting beside him on the stand was a bag of Oreos and a small plate of ketchup. Ok, what have we here? A new craving of sorts? I watched him reach out, grab a cookie, dip it in the ketchup, and eat the damn thing! Miss Cast Iron Stomach just sat there watching him. "When can I play my new game?" she whined. She normally had to borrow Seto's laptop when she had a new computer game from KaibaCorp, who flooded both her and Mokuba with them constantly. Liz's games were mostly educational to help her with preschool that she would ttenttending in the fall.

He looked at her a moment. "Let me finish this payroll and you can play," he said seriously. She sighed. "How long is that gonna be?" she grumbled sliding down. "Elizabeth, come back here," he said. I raised a brow from my book. Ok, little Miss Attitude finally got one that got her good. She walked back to him and looked down at the ground. He closed his laptop a moment and frowned. "What have I told you about the attitude?" he asked. "If you give me a one one what happens?" "I don't get to play my game," she sighed. We had a nice long chat about punishments lately. We take away things and give time outs. Very rarely do we spank her, but we do on occasion.

"No game today," he said sternly and felt another sneeze come on. "AHCHOO!" This time, he peed in his pants. Whoops! He was very casual about it. "Stay here," he said and walked off. She pouted and sat down crossing her arms on her chest. "If you don't want more, don't do dat," I warned. "He's always doing that payroll stuff, Daddy!" she protested. "He never does things with us anymore!" "Yes he does," I said sternly. "Right now he's takin' things easy 'cause of de baby." She frowned and turned away from me. Did I hint a bit of jealousy here? I frowned and watched her as Seto returned and sat down. "What's your problem?" he asked her. "Nothing," she said rather sarcastically. He frowned deeply then and popped her leg. "I've told you about getting that way with me," he warned. She sniffled and burst into tears running off.

"I'm not going after her," he said seriously. "Let her pitch her fit." A slam of the bedroom door meant she was pissed off. I shook my head and continued reading when I heard sounds like she was hitting the wall. "I'll deal with dis," I said and stood up walking upstairs. Seto grabbed some tissue and blew his nose. "Child needs a good spanking," he said seriously and frowned as he followed. "Liz, open de door now!" I said. She had locked it and knew that was against the rules. "NO!" she shouted back. I looked around and found a pick and picked the lock entering the room. She ducked under the bed and I yanked her out by her feet. "Calm your ass down, young lady!" I said sternly. "You ain't 'bout to give me dis!" "You always take his side!" she shouted angrily. "You never take mine!"

"Because he did nothin' wrong," I said holding her down. "And if you keep dis up, you ain't gettin' dinner!" She struggled from my grip and finally bit my arm. I will say that did hurt due to baby teeth, but I was at my wits end already. "Dat's it," I said and turned her over my knee and spanked her. She sobbed and slid out of my lap sitting on the floor crying and I stood up and left the room to treat the wound. She broke the skin and I sighed as I treated it. Seto looked at me and my arm. "You ok?" he asked in concern. "Yeah," I said. "She bit me and I spanked her for it." He nodded and walked off.

About an hour later, there was silence. I looked in her room to find it torn to pieces, but she lay on the floor sniffling a bit, but asleep. I sighed and picked her up and put her in the bed before cleaning up the mess and walking downstairs. Seto looked up with his Oreos and ketchup and I shook my head as I walked off to blow off some steam. He ran a hand through his hair and coughed a bit.

It wasn't until the next morning that we realized it wasn't allergies, but he had a full blown cold. I now had to take care of him to get him better. "I want ice cream!" he sniffled after one major mood swing. He wanted out of bed, I refused, he threw a fit. "Ok, ok," I said gently. "What kinda ice cream?" "Chocolate marshmallow ripple," he choked out. "Anything else?" I asked. He sniffed nodding. "With caramel and caviar on top and a side of sweet and dill pickles with strawberry sauce and whipped cream," he said. He was basically drooling in hunger at the thought. Me, I was wondering if I would hurl making this. "Ok," I said rubbing his back. "Calm down and I'll git that, ok?" "O...k," he said slowly and I smiled kissing his cheek gently and got to work on this...unusual masterpiece.

My stomach was churning during the creation, but I didn't barf thankfully. I carried the tray upstairs and set it down in front of him and he happily scarfed it up. I had to leave the room or what I actually ate would come back up. This was rather sick.

~END FLASHBACK~

Oh yeah. He has some of the strangest cravings. The recent one is peanut butter. What the fuck is this addiction to peanut butter?! And then he has to have applesauce with it! That and a can of sardines for lunch. Then breakfast is Grilled Cheese with Raspberry Jam. I'm getting better with these new food flavors, but it still makes me want to lose my lunch or go on a damn diet! And I've got high metabolism mind you. That's why you see me eat like a horse. I love food, yes, but I have my reasons. Anyway, it's four months. This was D Day...well, the day we find out what he's having. Ryou had finally moved in and Seto wasted no time grossing the poor guy out. I guess he considers this payback for the Shadow Realm threat. But Ryou came back on full force and Seto has learned now we do not gross someone out and get away with it.

Earned him two hours in the Shadow Realm. Go Ryou!

I watched Liz and Mokuba playing with some Hot Wheels cars. Yes, my daughter is a tomboy. I guess she hangs around the guys too much. She is the only girl in the house and sometimes I begin to think she picks up on other bad habits at times. I just hope she doesn't carry on when she gets older or goes to school. Bakura walked downstairs and smiled. "Guys, we're ready!" he announced. The kids tore off like the Flash on a steroid habit and I stood up. "He ain't gave you guys much trouble?" I teased. Bakura rolled his eyes. "Ryou had to snatch the Oreos again," he said. "He just looked at him, but said nothing." "I dink he's learned a lesson," I chuckled and Bakura laughed. "Who knew my hikari could be so tempermental?" he asked and I fell out laughing.

I walked in the room to find ketchup on the corners of Seto's mouth. I grabbed a tissue and wiped that off. He smacked his lips and grinned up at me. "You ready for this, puppye ase asked. "As always, dragon," I said. He laced his fingers in mine and squeezed my hand. Liz stood with Ryou as usual. She was rather helpful and we kind of nicknamed her Nurse Wheeler because of it, which caused her to giggle. Ryou patted her head smiling and looked at her. "Go get the gel," he said and she ran off and came back with the stuff. "Is it cold this time?" Seto asked. "If you're not careful, I'll stop heating it up for your benifit," Ryou said his thick British accent becoming rather serious. "Joey, pull his shirt up." I nodded and did as I was told. "Yes, Dr. Bakura," I taunted and Ryou rolled his eyes chuckling.

He put the gel on Seto's stomach and got the paddle. He had to move the cord a moment and got to work. "Ah, there we are," he said. I stared up at the monitor to see a baby all right. "Well, that's one," he said. "And it's a boy." I grinned and nodded. "Oh my!" he said suddenly. "Seto, you got twins so far. The other is a girl!" I paled a bit. TWINS?! I studied the monitor wondering what else he might find in my boyfriend. "Nope, just twins," he said finally and printed the pictures. "Both are healthy and doing well. They won't be identical if you notice here." He pointed something out. "Identical twins share the same sac," he explained. I saw two different ones for two babies. "So, what do ya call dem if dey ain't identical?" I asked. "Faternal," he explained. "It's like he had two babies at different times if you get what I mean. Take Liz and Mokuba for example. Let's say he had Mokuba first and a few years later had Liz. It's like that in ways, but they're twins." I nodded. "So I got a baby brother and sister at the same time?" Liz asked excitedly. Seto chuckled nodding. "It appears that way, baby," he said. She grinned happily and jumped in Bakura's arms hugging him. Bakura laughed and held her close.

That evening, I sat in my bedroom while Seto lay in bed. He looked up at me and grabbed my hand putting it to his belly. "Dat's our son dere," I said. He nodded smiling. "His sister's kicking too," he said and grinned happily. "I've never had a big family, Joey. I consider this a dream come true." I snuggled up with him and smiled as I rubbed his belly. "So do I," I said. "Good night, love." "Good night, puppy," he answered and turned out the light. Meanwhile, Bakura was on his cell phone with Malik in a yami only conversation.

Bakura: So, you think you can help me with this?
Malik *snickers*: Sure thing. You know I've always wanted to get back at Yami.
Bakura *evil smirk*: So this spell, when will it take affect?
Malik: According to my calculations, the day Seto has the kids, the spell will activate.
Bakura: Good. I knew I could count on you.
Malik: No problem. We're best friends, right?
Bakura: Damn right! See you later then. Good night.
Malik: Night.

*both hang up*

Bakura chuckled and curled up next to Ryou, who was in a deep sleep. This plan was coming along perfectly!

Twins on the way...
Yamis with plans...
Could things get any cornier than this?

We shall see...
