Chapter Twenty Four
by Ravenx
~Christmas~
Joey mumbles something in his sleep as he slowly turns to face his lover in their large dark cherry bed, the light blue sheets tangling in his legs, his head burying under Seto’s chin. The brunette’s arm wraps around Joey’s waist, his fingers caressing the top of the sandy blonde’s dark gray boxers as he continues to sleep, the rays of sunlight washing into the room not disturbing the two sleeping lovers.
One of the cream colored doors open, a black haired head pops into the room, violet eyes looking over toward the bed before stepping fully into the room. A large smile graces Mokuba’s young face as he creeps over to the bed, his bare feet making no noise on the plush white carpet. Slowly and quietly the small boy crawls onto the bed behind his brother’s still form, carefully standing up before bouncing up and down.
“Wake up! Up, up, up!” Mokuba yells.
“Stop it.” Seto mumbles into his pillow.
“Nope. Get up! It’s Christmas! We have to open presents! Get up!” The younger boy continues to bounce up and down.
“Mokuba, stop it.” The brunette groans, one of his legs kicking under the sheet and comforter at his little brother’s feet only to miss.
“You have to get up.”
“I’m going to be sick.” Joey complains as he rolls onto his back. “Please stop.”
“Oh, sorry, Joey.” Mokuba hops down onto his knees on the bed, crawling up to shake his brother. “Wake up, Seto.”
“What time is it?”
“About seven.”
“Go away.” Seto growls, reaching back to gently push his brother to stop the shaking.
“Mokie, why don’t you go downstairs and start opening your presents? Your brother and me will be down soon.” Joey yawns as he moves to sit against the head board, his hands rubbing his rounded belly.
“Okay, but you will be down soon, right?”
“Yes. As soon as I wake up your brother.” Joey smiles.
“Okay.” Mokuba hops off the bed and runs through the door, leaving it open.
“Seto, baby, wake up. We need to get down there to make sure he doesn’t open our gifts by mistakes.” Joey chuckles as he reaches over to brush some of Seto’s thick brown hair out of his closed eyes.
“Too early.” The brunette mumbles.
“This from the guy who normally wakes up at four to get into the office?”
“That’s work.”
“And this is family time. The guys are coming over around noon and I have to get the turkey in the oven.” Joey moves to get up. “Besides, your son is hungry.”
Joey gets up and walks around the bed to his lover’s side, his slightly tanned hands reaching down to pull his over sized white shirt down before moving over to shake, Seto’s bare side.
“Wake up, honey. I need to take a shower.” Joey purrs.
“Then go take one, I’ll get up when you’re done.” Seto mumbles.
“You really must be tired if you didn’t catch that invitation.” The sandy blonde smirks as he walks across the room to one of the doors on the other side, slipping into the bathroom and leaving the door open a crack.
Seto rolls over onto his stomach for a moment before sitting straight up in bed, his dark blue eyes opening fully only to squint at the brightness coming in through the windows. He quickly pulls the covers from his boxer clad body and moves to the same door Joey went through.
“Wicked little koinu. His master is going to have to teach him a lesson.” Seto mumbles as he enters the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“We better get down stairs before Mokie destroys all the presents.” Joey chuckles as he pulls his gray, short sleeved shirt with a large black outline of a dragon down over his large belly, the bottom coming down past the top of his loose black track pants.
“Actually I want to show you your Christmas present first.” Seto steps out of the large walk in closet in a pair of black slacks and a tight white, turtleneck.
“It’s up here?”
“It’s next door.” Seto grabs his lover’s slightly tanned hand, dragging him slowly out of the room and into the hallway to go into the room closest to theirs on the right.
“Why isn’t it downstairs under the tree?” Joey asks curiously.
“Because it’s too big to wrap and impossible to get downstairs.” Seto stops at the cream-colored door.
“Too big to wrap? Sounds interesting.” Joey smiles widely as the brunette steps behind him, placing one hand over his eyes.
“No peeking until I tell you too.” Seto’s voice ghost across the sandy blonde’s ear as his other hand reaches out and opens the door, walking Joey carefully into the room.
After stepping all the way into the room Seto slowly lowers his hand, whispering for his lover to open his honey colored eyes. Joey’s breath catches in his throat as he looks around the large pale blue painted room, his hands moving up to cover his open mouth. The pale blue walls are decorated with paintings of small animals playing, a large dark wooden crib with high bars and a white and blue mat sits on the wall across from the door, a mobile with dangling dragons and dogs hangs over it.
Over the crib are two pictures drawn by Seto, one of himself with his arms around a smiling Joey while the other is that of a large blue eyes white dragon standing guard over a sleeping sandy blonde dog and a little pup. On either side of the pictures and crib are long windows with white curtains, a changing table of dark wood sits to the left of the crib, several drawers closed beneath the white padded top with a small railing running around it.
To the left of the door is a small blue loveseat with white dots all over it, a dark wooden rocking chair with a white cushion by the wall adjacent to the loveseat, a small round table sitting in the corner between the furniture with a small lap in the shape of a sleeping dragon. A door next to the rocking chair is open to show off a fairly large closet, the white plush carpet continuing into the smaller room.
To the right of the door is a long, low truck of dark wood, several dragons and dogs craved around it, a thin dark blue cushion on top of it with several different shaped and sized stuffed animals. Joey steps into the center of the room, his honey eyes huge as he looks around before stopping to look at the brunette standing in the doorway.
“Do you like?”
“I love it. This is…how did you do this without me knowing?”
“When you were other at Ryou’s with the others and I was supposed to be working, I had some people come over and fix it up.” Seto shrugs.
“You really are positive we’re having a boy aren’t you?” Joey chuckles as he looks around the blue room.
“Yes.”
“And what if we have a girl?”
“Then she will just have to learn to love blue.” Seto walks over to his lover, bending to kiss him softly on the lips. “If you want to we can have a door put in over here connecting to our room.” He motions toward the wall next to the toy chest. “It will come out next to the head of our bed, that way we don’t have to go out into the hall at night when they baby starts crying.”
“You can do that?”
“I would have it already done but it isn’t a job I could get done in only a couple of hours with you out of the house.”
“I’d like that.” Joey nods. “Easy access to our little one.”
“Now, what do you say we head downstairs and see how Mokie liked his gifts?”
“I’d like that. I just can’t believe you did all this without me knowing.” Joey looks around as he moves to the door.
“I just wanted your Christmas to be good this year, after all, this is our first year together.”
“Well, you are very sweet. Where did you put the baby carriage and car seat?”
“In the closet.”
“I can’t wait to see what the others think of their gifts. I hope they like them.” Joey moves out of the room and into the hall.
“They will like them, don’t worry about it.”
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Mokuba sits in the living room behind the sofa on the dark hard wood floor, a stack of video games and DVDs on one side of him and a another stack of clothes on the other side, ripped paper laying behind him with discarded bows of different colors. He sits cross legged in his white and red plaid pajama pants and white tank top with a gift in his lap, his fingers running under the tape to open it.
“Well, you sure didn’t wait for us, did you?” Joey smiles as he waddles into the room, going to sit on the burgundy sofa, his feet propping up on the coffee table.
“You said to start opening them.” Mokuba shrugs.
“And how many do you have left?” Seto walks in after his lover, sitting down next to the sandy blonde.
“This one. I love all my presents, thank you both very much.”
“You’re welcome, Mokie.” Joey smiles over the back of the sofa at the boy opening another game.
“I’m glad you like your Christmas presents.” Seto wraps an arm around Joey’s shoulders.
“Mokie, can you do me a favor and bring over the gifts I got Seto?” Joey asks.
“Sure.” Mokuba hops up and dives under the large decorated tree near him, digging through the piles of presents before finding the ones he needs and moving over to drop them on Seto’s lap. “Did you like your present, Joey?”
“How did you know about it?”
“Seto told me.” Mokuba sticks his tongue out at the sandy blonde.
“Well, I love it.”
“I’m glad, I can’t wait to help with the baby.”
“Even changing diapers?” Seto asks.
“Well, maybe not that but I’ll play with him and keep him company.”
“You’re convinced it’s a boy too?”
“Yep. You guys need anything else before I go play my new games?”
“Could you get me something to eat and drink? You’re little niece or nephew is hungry.”
“No problem, what do you want?”
“Mmm…how about some dry fruit loops and orange juice?”
“You shouldn’t be eating all that sugar.” Seto shakes his head as he moves his gifts over onto the sofa next to him.
“Its Christmas, I’ve been a good boy, I think I deserve to have a little something good today.” Joey motions Mokuba to run on into the kitchen, his honey eyes watching him leave. “Open your presents.”
“You didn’t have to bet me so many.” Seto waves a hand over the five wrapped gifts.
“I wanted to; now open up the bigger boxes first, save the smaller one till last.” Joey instructs.
Seto picks up the first of four rectangular boxes, this one wrapped in green paper with large Santa’s covering it, a red bow in the center. Ripping the paper off, Seto opens the plain white box and moves aside the white tissue paper to reveal a pair of navy blue leather pants, Seto turns a raised eyebrow to his lover.
“I love you in leather but you only have one pair of black leather pants and it took me forever to talk you into wearing them for Halloween. But from now on you are going to be wearing them more often.”
“Really?”
“Yep, now open the others.”
Seto unwraps a red box with small snowmen covering it, opening the white box to reveal a white short sleeved shirt with a navy colored dragon stretched on the front.
“Nice.”
“Thought you would like that. Next.”
Another Santa covered wrapping paper is ripped off to reveal another white box, inside a long sleeved tan shirt with dark red writing on the front reading ‘Obey Me.’ Seto chuckles as he holds it up before looking over at his lover with a smirk.
“This applies to you.”
“I know…master.” Joey whispers the last part as Mokuba reenters the room with a bowl in one hand and a glass of orange juice in the other.
“Here you go, Joey.”
“Thank you, Mokie.” Joey takes the bowl and drink from the younger man, sitting down the glass on the coffee table.
“That all?”
“Yep, you can go play now.”
“See you guys later.” Mokuba runs out of the room.
“Don’t forget the others are coming at noon.” Seto yells after his brother.
“Open up the other one.” Joey says with a mouth full of fruit loops.
Seto does as he is told, ripping the white paper with different colored gifts on it away to show another white box, opening it and removing the tissue paper to reveal a burgundy pair of leather pants.
“You really want me wearing leather, don’t you?”
“Oh, yeah. You look hot in leather.” Joey grins. “Now open up the smaller one.”
“If I had known you were getting me all this I would have gotten you more.” Seto says as he picks up the smaller present wrapped in the snowman paper.
“You got me a whole room that is way more than you just getting me a couple more presents.”
Seto unwraps the gift to find a long black box, opening it up he sees a beautiful navy and silver pen, picking it up he reads a small inscription on the side reading ‘To My Oyakata.’
“I love it.”
“Thought you might.” Joey giggles. “Did you enjoy your gifts?”
“Very much.”
“Good, now help me up so I can go and get the turkey in the oven.” Joey holds out his arms, one hand with the bowl in it.
“What time are you putting the ham in?” Seto asks as he gets up and helps his lover up.
“It won’t take it long, it’s basically already cooked so not until about an hour and a half before we eat.”
“The others are going to help you cook?”
“Yes because I can’t make some things as good as Ryou and Yugi can.” Joey chuckles as he walks with his taller lover to the kitchen.
“What’s for dessert?”
“Ryou is making a peach cobbler and Yugi is making some kind of cake, I’m not sure what kind.”
“Sounds like this is going to be a good dinner.”
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“My feet hurt.” Malik pouts from his position on the burgundy sofa in Seto’s living room, his bare feet propped up on the coffee table.
“Why? You haven’t been standing in the kitchen for hours making dinner.” Ryou says from his seat in between the pale blonde and Yugi.
“There are too many steps to go up to the second floor. I don’t see how Joey does it everyday.” Yugi shakes his head.
“I’ve learned when I need to take a break.” Joey enters the room to sit in one of the navy chairs across from the sofa. “Sorry, had to use the bathroom, again.”
“No problem.”
“Mokie!” The sandy blonde calls out.
“Yeah?” The black haired head of said boy pops into the room.
“Could you tell the others to get in here so we can open presents?”
“Sure.”
“Got you a little servant, huh?” Malik chuckles.
“He loves to help me out.” Joey shrugs.
“They’re coming. Can I hand out presents?” Mokuba ask as he comes back into the room wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and long sleeved gray shirt.
“Yes, please.”
“I’ll move over to the other chair.” Ryou grunts as he gets up with help from Yugi.
“What are the guys doing, Mokuba?” Yugi asks the younger boy as he sets presents down beside their receivers.
“Well, Seto and Yami are talking and Marik and Bakura were…uh…eating some of the cobbler Ryou brought.”
“What? I’m going to kill them. I told Kura that was for dessert only.” Ryou growls as he plays with a red bow of a large gift sitting beside him.
“But you wouldn’t let me eat anything all day.” Bakura complains as he enters the living room and moves to stand behind his hikari’s chair.
“Because we’re having a big meal and you shouldn’t ruin it.”
“Malik got to eat.” Marik mumbles under his breath as he comes into the room followed by Yami and Seto, they all go to stand behind their lovers.
“What did you guys get for Christmas from each other?” Joey asks.
“Kura got me some cute little bunny slippers and I got him a dagger.” Ryou says with a smile.
“You got Bakura a dagger? Are you crazy?”
“He knows to behave.”
“Whatever you say.” Seto chuckles.
“Yami got me some nice silk pajamas and I got him the latest Duel Monster Disk.” Yugi reaches his hand back to be grabbed by his lover.
“Marik got me two gold bracelets that unfortunately I can’t wear cause I’m a little swollen and I got him a some brass knuckles.” Malik yawns as he rubs his large belly.
“What about you, Joey? What did you two get?” Yugi asks.
“I got Seto two pairs of leather pants and a couple shirts and an engraved pen and you already saw what he got me.”
“I love the baby room, Seto.” Ryou smiles.
“Okay, that’s all the presents.” Mokuba exclaims as he plops down on the floor near the coffee table at Joey’s feet.
“Why don’t we all open the presents that are the same at the same time?” Yugi suggests.
“Sounds good to me.” Joey nods.
“So what is first?” Malik asks, looking at the pile of gifts next to him.
“Open up our gifts first.” Joey says. “The three largest ones.”
The hikaris all start opening the largest boxes wrapped in snowman covered paper and large white bows, their fingers brush over the boxes as the paper falls to the Persian covered hard wooden floor.
“Cribs! Thank you, Joey, Seto.” Yugi smiles as he looks over the picture.
“They’re all pretty much the same with the exception of the mat that goes inside it. We got you different colors that we thought you’d like.” Joey smiles.
“They are beautiful.” Ryou says.
“Yes they are. Next.” Malik moves on to the second gift from the couple as do the others.
“Car seats, thank you.” The white haired hikari smiles over at the brunette and sandy blonde.
“They can go from car seats to carriers so you can carry the babies around when you go out.” Seto explains.
“Nice.” Yami comments from his position looking over his small hikari’s shoulder.
“I opened the wrong one.” Malik grins. “But I love the stroller.”
“You got us strollers too?” Yugi asks.
“Yes.” Joey nods.
“You guys really shouldn’t have bought all this for us.”
“Why not? You’re going to need it and we went a head a bought one of each for us too.”
“But this is too much for one holiday. We didn’t get you guys this much.” Ryou says.
“Doesn’t matter. Let’s open someone else so I can open it.” Joey rubs his hands together as he looks at the stack of presents next to him.
“What should we do about the paper?” The white haired hikari asks.
“Just throw it on the floor, we can clean it up later.” Seto says.
“Open our gift next.” Yugi says. “The silvery blue one.”
All the others unwrap the large gift to find a plain cardboard box, opening it up they find all kinds of different baby supplies from diapers to bottles and baby powder to pacifiers and more.
“Wow, you have everything here.” Joey says as he riffles through the box.
“Jade helped us pick things out. Each of us has ten bottles, three pacifiers, five large bags of diapers, and some other stuff that the babies will need.” Yugi says.
“But Jade warns that five bags of diapers aren’t going to last long.” Yami chuckles.
“Well just have to start buying some up every once in a while so we don’t run out.” Seto says.
“Thank you now what is next?” Malik asks.
“You sure are enjoying this aren’t you?” Ryou giggles.
“I love opening presents.”
“Then open ours next.”
“Okay.” Another wrapped cardboard box is opened to reveal even more supplies for a baby.
“It’s mostly stuff you’ll need for bathing the babies. Some of it you can use right after they are born but some of it you have to wait until they’re older to use.” Ryou explains.
“Thank you, Ryou…and Bakura.” Joey says.
“We also got something else for you guys, it’s the smaller one in the same paper.”
“So cute.” Malik grins as he rips the paper away to reveal a white baby bag line in light purple with small teddy bears dancing on it.
“I like ours better.” Joey smiles as he shows off his light blue bag lined in white with sleeping puppies laying on it.
“Those are cute but ours is cuter.” Yugi sticks his tongue out at the other couples as he holds up a white bag lined in red with little laughing mice covering it.
“Did you get you one?” Joey asks the white haired hikari.
“Yep, ours has little bunnies on it.”
“Figures.” Malik rolls his eyes. “Okay, open ours next.”
“Nice paper.” Joey chuckles as he starts to open the white paper with ‘Happy Birthday’ written across it.
“Oh, shut up. They used up all the Christmas paper and they didn’t have any at the store so I had to use what I had at the house.” Malik says.
“This is so soft.” Yugi rubs a large light green blanket against his cheek.
“I know. I wish they made them big enough for our bed.”
“Toys!” Joey smiles as he moves his light blue blanket to his lap as he looks into the box.
“We got you all several different stuffed animals and a couple of toys for later on like little balls to roll around and some little toy that’s suppose to help with coordination.” The pale blonde says.
“Open my present next.” Mokuba speaks up.
“Okay. I have no problem with that.” Malik smiles as he grabs the next to last gift on the floor next to him.
“You can go ahead and open our but I’ve got to warn you we didn’t know what to get you so we all got the same thing.” Ryou ducks his head as he opens the gift from the younger boy.
“A baby book, I didn’t even think about one of these.” Yugi says as he flips through the book only to have a small envelope drop into his lap. “What’s this?”
“It’s a gift certificate from the same place that Seto got the mobile for the baby’s crib, they make them custom so you can ask for anything you want.” Mokuba says as he opens one of the three envelopes sitting on the coffee table. “What did I get?”
“We all got you a gift certificate for that game store you like.” Malik says as he looks through his book.
“Oh, cool. Thanks.”
“Like there is any more games out there that you didn’t get this morning.” Joey chuckles as he sets the book aside. “Whose this last gift from?”
“Oh, that’s from Jade. She said she is sorry she couldn’t be here but she had to go home to her parents for the holiday.” Yugi says as he picks up the last gift.
“I love it.” Malik giggles as he holds up a small light violet cap with dark purple writing reading ‘Beware: Trouble Maker’ across one side.
“Man, your fast at opening presents.” Ryou giggles as he finally opens his gift from Jade, holding up the little white cap with small bunny ears on top. “So cute.”
“I can’t wait to see our little one in this.” Yugi smiles as he looks down at his light red cap with dark blue writing across one side reading ‘Sweet Angel,’ a little yellow hallo around the A.
“I knew you were having a little puppy.” Seto chuckles as he looks over his lover’s shoulder to see the small tan cap with cute little puppy ears sticking out on top.
“I’m going to have to thank Jade when we see her again.” Joey shakes his head.
“This is going to be so cute on them.” Ryou smiles.
“Okay, we’re done with gifts, now can we eat?” Marik speaks up for the first time in a while.
“Why do we have to rush?”
“Because I’m hungry.”
“I think he has a good idea. Our little one is getting active which normally means it is hungry.” Yugi says as he rubs his large belly in slow circles.
“I guess you’re right, I am getting hungry.” Ryou says as he sits down his gifts beside him.
“Then lets go, the ham should be done by now.” Joey says as he out his hands for his lover. “Now help me up, Seto.”

Chapter Twenty Four
by Ravenx
~Christmas~
Joey mumbles something in his sleep as he slowly turns to face his lover in their large dark cherry bed, the light blue sheets tangling in his legs, his head burying under Seto’s chin. The brunette’s arm wraps around Joey’s waist, his fingers caressing the top of the sandy blonde’s dark gray boxers as he continues to sleep, the rays of sunlight washing into the room not disturbing the two sleeping lovers.
One of the cream colored doors open, a black haired head pops into the room, violet eyes looking over toward the bed before stepping fully into the room. A large smile graces Mokuba’s young face as he creeps over to the bed, his bare feet making no noise on the plush white carpet. Slowly and quietly the small boy crawls onto the bed behind his brother’s still form, carefully standing up before bouncing up and down.
“Wake up! Up, up, up!” Mokuba yells.
“Stop it.” Seto mumbles into his pillow.
“Nope. Get up! It’s Christmas! We have to open presents! Get up!” The younger boy continues to bounce up and down.
“Mokuba, stop it.” The brunette groans, one of his legs kicking under the sheet and comforter at his little brother’s feet only to miss.
“You have to get up.”
“I’m going to be sick.” Joey complains as he rolls onto his back. “Please stop.”
“Oh, sorry, Joey.” Mokuba hops down onto his knees on the bed, crawling up to shake his brother. “Wake up, Seto.”
“What time is it?”
“About seven.”
“Go away.” Seto growls, reaching back to gently push his brother to stop the shaking.
“Mokie, why don’t you go downstairs and start opening your presents? Your brother and me will be down soon.” Joey yawns as he moves to sit against the head board, his hands rubbing his rounded belly.
“Okay, but you will be down soon, right?”
“Yes. As soon as I wake up your brother.” Joey smiles.
“Okay.” Mokuba hops off the bed and runs through the door, leaving it open.
“Seto, baby, wake up. We need to get down there to make sure he doesn’t open our gifts by mistakes.” Joey chuckles as he reaches over to brush some of Seto’s thick brown hair out of his closed eyes.
“Too early.” The brunette mumbles.
“This from the guy who normally wakes up at four to get into the office?”
“That’s work.”
“And this is family time. The guys are coming over around noon and I have to get the turkey in the oven.” Joey moves to get up. “Besides, your son is hungry.”
Joey gets up and walks around the bed to his lover’s side, his slightly tanned hands reaching down to pull his over sized white shirt down before moving over to shake, Seto’s bare side.
“Wake up, honey. I need to take a shower.” Joey purrs.
“Then go take one, I’ll get up when you’re done.” Seto mumbles.
“You really must be tired if you didn’t catch that invitation.” The sandy blonde smirks as he walks across the room to one of the doors on the other side, slipping into the bathroom and leaving the door open a crack.
Seto rolls over onto his stomach for a moment before sitting straight up in bed, his dark blue eyes opening fully only to squint at the brightness coming in through the windows. He quickly pulls the covers from his boxer clad body and moves to the same door Joey went through.
“Wicked little koinu. His master is going to have to teach him a lesson.” Seto mumbles as he enters the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“We better get down stairs before Mokie destroys all the presents.” Joey chuckles as he pulls his gray, short sleeved shirt with a large black outline of a dragon down over his large belly, the bottom coming down past the top of his loose black track pants.
“Actually I want to show you your Christmas present first.” Seto steps out of the large walk in closet in a pair of black slacks and a tight white, turtleneck.
“It’s up here?”
“It’s next door.” Seto grabs his lover’s slightly tanned hand, dragging him slowly out of the room and into the hallway to go into the room closest to theirs on the right.
“Why isn’t it downstairs under the tree?” Joey asks curiously.

After stepping all the way into the room Seto slowly lowers his hand, whispering for his lover to open his honey colored eyes. Joey’s breath catches in his throat as he looks around the large pale blue painted room, his hands moving up to cover his open mouth. The pale blue walls are decorated with paintings of small animals playing, a large dark wooden crib with high bars and a white and blue mat sits on the wall across from the door, a mobile with dangling dragons and dogs hangs over it.
Over the crib are two pictures drawn by Seto, one of himself with his arms around a smiling Joey while the other is that of a large blue eyes white dragon standing guard over a sleeping sandy blonde dog and a little pup. On either side of the pictures and crib are long windows with white curtains, a changing table of dark wood sits to the left of the crib, several drawers closed beneath the white padded top with a small railing running around it.
To the left of the door is a small blue loveseat with white dots all over it, a dark wooden rocking chair with a white cushion by the wall adjacent to the loveseat, a small round table sitting in the corner between the furniture with a small lap in the shape of a sleeping dragon. A door next to the rocking chair is open to show off a fairly large closet, the white plush carpet continuing into the smaller room.
To the right of the door is a long, low truck of dark wood, several dragons and dogs craved around it, a thin dark blue cushion on top of it with several different shaped and sized stuffed animals. Joey steps into the center of the room, his honey eyes huge as he looks around before stopping to look at the brunette standing in the doorway.
“Do you like?”
“I love it. This is…how did you do this without me knowing?”
“When you were other at Ryou’s with the others and I was supposed to be working, I had some people come over and fix it up.” Seto shrugs.
“You really are positive we’re having a boy aren’t you?” Joey chuckles as he looks around the blue room.
“Yes.”
“And what if we have a girl?”
“Then she will just have to learn to love blue.” Seto walks over to his lover, bending to kiss him softly on the lips. “If you want to we can have a door put in over here connecting to our room.” He motions toward the wall next to the toy chest. “It will come out next to the head of our bed, that way we don’t have to go out into the hall at night when they baby starts crying.”
“You can do that?”
“I would have it already done but it isn’t a job I could get done in only a couple of hours with you out of the house.”
“I’d like that.” Joey nods. “Easy access to our little one.”
“Now, what do you say we head downstairs and see how Mokie liked his gifts?”
“I’d like that. I just can’t believe you did all this without me knowing.” Joey looks around as he moves to the door.
“I just wanted your Christmas to be good this year, after all, this is our first year together.”
“Well, you are very sweet. Where did you put the baby carriage and car seat?”
“In the closet.”
“I can’t wait to see what the others think of their gifts. I hope they like them.” Joey moves out of the room and into the hall.
“They will like them, don’t worry about it.”

Mokuba sits in the living room behind the sofa on the dark hard wood floor, a stack of video games and DVDs on one side of him and a another stack of clothes on the other side, ripped paper laying behind him with discarded bows of different colors. He sits cross legged in his white and red plaid pajama pants and white tank top with a gift in his lap, his fingers running under the tape to open it.
“Well, you sure didn’t wait for us, did you?” Joey smiles as he waddles into the room, going to sit on the burgundy sofa, his feet propping up on the coffee table.
“You said to start opening them.” Mokuba shrugs.
“And how many do you have left?” Seto walks in after his lover, sitting down next to the sandy blonde.
“This one. I love all my presents, thank you both very much.”
“You’re welcome, Mokie.” Joey smiles over the back of the sofa at the boy opening another game.
“I’m glad you like your Christmas presents.” Seto wraps an arm around Joey’s shoulders.
“Mokie, can you do me a favor and bring over the gifts I got Seto?” Joey asks.
“Sure.” Mokuba hops up and dives under the large decorated tree near him, digging through the piles of presents before finding the ones he needs and moving over to drop them on Seto’s lap. “Did you like your present, Joey?”
“How did you know about it?”
“Seto told me.” Mokuba sticks his tongue out at the sandy blonde.
“Well, I love it.”
“I’m glad, I can’t wait to help with the baby.”
“Even changing diapers?” Seto asks.
“Well, maybe not that but I’ll play with him and keep him company.”
“You’re convinced it’s a boy too?”
“Yep. You guys need anything else before I go play my new games?”
“Could you get me something to eat and drink? You’re little niece or nephew is hungry.”
“No problem, what do you want?”
“Mmm…how about some dry fruit loops and orange juice?”
“You shouldn’t be eating all that sugar.” Seto shakes his head as he moves his gifts over onto the sofa next to him.
“Its Christmas, I’ve been a good boy, I think I deserve to have a little something good today.” Joey motions Mokuba to run on into the kitchen, his honey eyes watching him leave. “Open your presents.”
“You didn’t have to bet me so many.” Seto waves a hand over the five wrapped gifts.
“I wanted to; now open up the bigger boxes first, save the smaller one till last.” Joey instructs.
Seto picks up the first of four rectangular boxes, this one wrapped in green paper with large Santa’s covering it, a red bow in the center. Ripping the paper off, Seto opens the plain white box and moves aside the white tissue paper to reveal a pair of navy blue leather pants, Seto turns a raised eyebrow to his lover.
“I love you in leather but you only have one pair of black leather pants and it took me forever to talk you into wearing them for Halloween. But from now on you are going to be wearing them more often.”
“Really?”
“Yep, now open the others.”
Seto unwraps a red box with small snowmen covering it, opening the white box to reveal a white short sleeved shirt with a navy colored dragon stretched on the front.
“Nice.”
“Thought you would like that. Next.”
Another Santa covered wrapping paper is ripped off to reveal another white box, inside a long sleeved tan shirt with dark red writing on the front reading ‘Obey Me.’ Seto chuckles as he holds it up before looking over at his lover with a smirk.
“This applies to you.”
“I know…master.” Joey whispers the last part as Mokuba reenters the room with a bowl in one hand and a glass of orange juice in the other.
“Here you go, Joey.”
“Thank you, Mokie.” Joey takes the bowl and drink from the younger man, sitting down the glass on the coffee table.
“That all?”
“Yep, you can go play now.”
“See you guys later.” Mokuba runs out of the room.
“Don’t forget the others are coming at noon.” Seto yells after his brother.
“Open up the other one.” Joey says with a mouth full of fruit loops.
Seto does as he is told, ripping the white paper with different colored gifts on it away to show another white box, opening it and removing the tissue paper to reveal a burgundy pair of leather pants.
“You really want me wearing leather, don’t you?”
“Oh, yeah. You look hot in leather.” Joey grins. “Now open up the smaller one.”
“If I had known you were getting me all this I would have gotten you more.” Seto says as he picks up the smaller present wrapped in the snowman paper.
“You got me a whole room that is way more than you just getting me a couple more presents.”
Seto unwraps the gift to find a long black box, opening it up he sees a beautiful navy and silver pen, picking it up he reads a small inscription on the side reading ‘To My Oyakata.’
“I love it.”
“Thought you might.” Joey giggles. “Did you enjoy your gifts?”
“Very much.”
“Good, now help me up so I can go and get the turkey in the oven.” Joey holds out his arms, one hand with the bowl in it.
“What time are you putting the ham in?” Seto asks as he gets up and helps his lover up.
“It won’t take it long, it’s basically already cooked so not until about an hour and a half before we eat.”
“The others are going to help you cook?”
“Yes because I can’t make some things as good as Ryou and Yugi can.” Joey chuckles as he walks with his taller lover to the kitchen.
“What’s for dessert?”
“Ryou is making a peach cobbler and Yugi is making some kind of cake, I’m not sure what kind.”
“Sounds like this is going to be a good dinner.”
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“My feet hurt.” Malik pouts from his position on the burgundy sofa in Seto’s living room, his bare feet propped up on the coffee table.
“Why? You haven’t been standing in the kitchen for hours making dinner.” Ryou says from his seat in between the pale blonde and Yugi.
“There are too many steps to go up to the second floor. I don’t see how Joey does it everyday.” Yugi shakes his head.
“I’ve learned when I need to take a break.” Joey enters the room to sit in one of the navy chairs across from the sofa. “Sorry, had to use the bathroom, again.”
“No problem.”
“Mokie!” The sandy blonde calls out.
“Yeah?” The black haired head of said boy pops into the room.
“Could you tell the others to get in here so we can open presents?”
“Sure.”
“Got you a little servant, huh?” Malik chuckles.
“He loves to help me out.” Joey shrugs.
“They’re coming. Can I hand out presents?” Mokuba ask as he comes back into the room wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and long sleeved gray shirt.
“Yes, please.”
“I’ll move over to the other chair.” Ryou grunts as he gets up with help from Yugi.
“What are the guys doing, Mokuba?” Yugi asks the younger boy as he sets presents down beside their receivers.
“Well, Seto and Yami are talking and Marik and Bakura were…uh…eating some of the cobbler Ryou brought.”
“What? I’m going to kill them. I told Kura that was for dessert only.” Ryou growls as he plays with a red bow of a large gift sitting beside him.
“But you wouldn’t let me eat anything all day.” Bakura complains as he enters the living room and moves to stand behind his hikari’s chair.
“Because we’re having a big meal and you shouldn’t ruin it.”
“Malik got to eat.” Marik mumbles under his breath as he comes into the room followed by Yami and Seto, they all go to stand behind their lovers.
“What did you guys get for Christmas from each other?” Joey asks.
“Kura got me some cute little bunny slippers and I got him a dagger.” Ryou says with a smile.
“You got Bakura a dagger? Are you crazy?”
“He knows to behave.”
“Whatever you say.” Seto chuckles.
“Yami got me some nice silk pajamas and I got him the latest Duel Monster Disk.” Yugi reaches his hand back to be grabbed by his lover.
“Marik got me two gold bracelets that unfortunately I can’t wear cause I’m a little swollen and I got him a some brass knuckles.” Malik yawns as he rubs his large belly.
“What about you, Joey? What did you two get?” Yugi asks.
“I got Seto two pairs of leather pants and a couple shirts and an engraved pen and you already saw what he got me.”
“I love the baby room, Seto.” Ryou smiles.
“Okay, that’s all the presents.” Mokuba exclaims as he plops down on the floor near the coffee table at Joey’s feet.
“Why don’t we all open the presents that are the same at the same time?” Yugi suggests.
“Sounds good to me.” Joey nods.
“So what is first?” Malik asks, looking at the pile of gifts next to him.
“Open up our gifts first.” Joey says. “The three largest ones.”
The hikaris all start opening the largest boxes wrapped in snowman covered paper and large white bows, their fingers brush over the boxes as the paper falls to the Persian covered hard wooden floor.
“Cribs! Thank you, Joey, Seto.” Yugi smiles as he looks over the picture.
“They’re all pretty much the same with the exception of the mat that goes inside it. We got you different colors that we thought you’d like.” Joey smiles.
“They are beautiful.” Ryou says.
“Yes they are. Next.” Malik moves on to the second gift from the couple as do the others.
“Car seats, thank you.” The white haired hikari smiles over at the brunette and sandy blonde.
“They can go from car seats to carriers so you can carry the babies around when you go out.” Seto explains.
“Nice.” Yami comments from his position looking over his small hikari’s shoulder.
“I opened the wrong one.” Malik grins. “But I love the stroller.”
“You got us strollers too?” Yugi asks.
“Yes.” Joey nods.
“You guys really shouldn’t have bought all this for us.”
“Why not? You’re going to need it and we went a head a bought one of each for us too.”
“But this is too much for one holiday. We didn’t get you guys this much.” Ryou says.
“Doesn’t matter. Let’s open someone else so I can open it.” Joey rubs his hands together as he looks at the stack of presents next to him.
“What should we do about the paper?” The white haired hikari asks.
“Just throw it on the floor, we can clean it up later.” Seto says.
“Open our gift next.” Yugi says. “The silvery blue one.”
All the others unwrap the large gift to find a plain cardboard box, opening it up they find all kinds of different baby supplies from diapers to bottles and baby powder to pacifiers and more.
“Wow, you have everything here.” Joey says as he riffles through the box.
“Jade helped us pick things out. Each of us has ten bottles, three pacifiers, five large bags of diapers, and some other stuff that the babies will need.” Yugi says.
“But Jade warns that five bags of diapers aren’t going to last long.” Yami chuckles.
“Well just have to start buying some up every once in a while so we don’t run out.” Seto says.
“Thank you now what is next?” Malik asks.
“You sure are enjoying this aren’t you?” Ryou giggles.
“I love opening presents.”
“Then open ours next.”
“Okay.” Another wrapped cardboard box is opened to reveal even more supplies for a baby.
“It’s mostly stuff you’ll need for bathing the babies. Some of it you can use right after they are born but some of it you have to wait until they’re older to use.” Ryou explains.
“Thank you, Ryou…and Bakura.” Joey says.
“We also got something else for you guys, it’s the smaller one in the same paper.”
“So cute.” Malik grins as he rips the paper away to reveal a white baby bag line in light purple with small teddy bears dancing on it.
“I like ours better.” Joey smiles as he shows off his light blue bag lined in white with sleeping puppies laying on it.
“Those are cute but ours is cuter.” Yugi sticks his tongue out at the other couples as he holds up a white bag lined in red with little laughing mice covering it.
“Did you get you one?” Joey asks the white haired hikari.
“Yep, ours has little bunnies on it.”
“Figures.” Malik rolls his eyes. “Okay, open ours next.”
“Nice paper.” Joey chuckles as he starts to open the white paper with ‘Happy Birthday’ written across it.
“Oh, shut up. They used up all the Christmas paper and they didn’t have any at the store so I had to use what I had at the house.” Malik says.
“This is so soft.” Yugi rubs a large light green blanket against his cheek.
“I know. I wish they made them big enough for our bed.”
“Toys!” Joey smiles as he moves his light blue blanket to his lap as he looks into the box.
“We got you all several different stuffed animals and a couple of toys for later on like little balls to roll around and some little toy that’s suppose to help with coordination.” The pale blonde says.
“Open my present next.” Mokuba speaks up.
“Okay. I have no problem with that.” Malik smiles as he grabs the next to last gift on the floor next to him.
“You can go ahead and open our but I’ve got to warn you we didn’t know what to get you so we all got the same thing.” Ryou ducks his head as he opens the gift from the younger boy.
“A baby book, I didn’t even think about one of these.” Yugi says as he flips through the book only to have a small envelope drop into his lap. “What’s this?”
“It’s a gift certificate from the same place that Seto got the mobile for the baby’s crib, they make them custom so you can ask for anything you want.” Mokuba says as he opens one of the three envelopes sitting on the coffee table. “What did I get?”
“We all got you a gift certificate for that game store you like.” Malik says as he looks through his book.
“Oh, cool. Thanks.”
“Like there is any more games out there that you didn’t get this morning.” Joey chuckles as he sets the book aside. “Whose this last gift from?”
“Oh, that’s from Jade. She said she is sorry she couldn’t be here but she had to go home to her parents for the holiday.” Yugi says as he picks up the last gift.
“I love it.” Malik giggles as he holds up a small light violet cap with dark purple writing reading ‘Beware: Trouble Maker’ across one side.
“Man, your fast at opening presents.” Ryou giggles as he finally opens his gift from Jade, holding up the little white cap with small bunny ears on top. “So cute.”
“I can’t wait to see our little one in this.” Yugi smiles as he looks down at his light red cap with dark blue writing across one side reading ‘Sweet Angel,’ a little yellow hallo around the A.
“I knew you were having a little puppy.” Seto chuckles as he looks over his lover’s shoulder to see the small tan cap with cute little puppy ears sticking out on top.
“I’m going to have to thank Jade when we see her again.” Joey shakes his head.
“This is going to be so cute on them.” Ryou smiles.
“Okay, we’re done with gifts, now can we eat?” Marik speaks up for the first time in a while.
“Why do we have to rush?”
“Because I’m hungry.”
“I think he has a good idea. Our little one is getting active which normally means it is hungry.” Yugi says as he rubs his large belly in slow circles.
“I guess you’re right, I am getting hungry.” Ryou says as he sits down his gifts beside him.
“Then lets go, the ham should be done by now.” Joey says as he out his hands for his lover. “Now help me up, Seto.”
