Mokuba's Secret

Chapter Twenty-Four

Today is Seto’s last session with Peter and as he sits in the Office, Seto is very unsure if he is ready to go home.

Peter sat there behind his desk and he could tell that something was bothering Seto and so he asked, “What’s on your mind?”

Seto wrung his hands and then he said, “What if I’m not ready to go home.”

Peter smiled at him and he said, “Seto, you’ve come such a long way since our first meeting and you’re more then ready to go home and face your brother and his life mate.”

Seto had tears in his eyes as he said, “I hope that I don’t do anything to make my brother hate me.”

Peter then said, “Its only natural that you’re a little apprehensive about talking to Mokuba and Joey, but the sooner you go home and talk to them, the easier it’ll be for everyone concerned.”

Seto then wiped his eyes, he stood up and held out his hand, and as Peter shook it, Seto said, “If it wasn’t for you I don’t think that I’d be able to face all my demons. I really want to thank you.”

Peter walked with Seto to the door and as they left the Office and Roland stood up, Peter said, “Seto is ready to go home.”

Roland walked over to Peter, he held out his hand, and as Peter shook it, Roland said, “I will let you know how Seto’s doing and if he ever needs your help again can he call you.”

Peter then said, “Of course if he needs my help have him call and I will love to know how things are when he gets home.”

As Seto and Roland walked out of the Office and got into the car, Seto said, “Can we leave tomorrow; I want to spend one more night at Ethan’s.”

Roland then put his arm around Seto and he said, “I want to spend one more day with my brother. We can leave tomorrow.”

As Roland was driving to Ethan’s, Seto called the Manor and when Greta answered, Seto said, “Greta, can I please speak to Mokie?”

Greta’s eyes filled with tears as she heard Seto’s voice and she said, “How are you doing?”

Seto told her, “I’m better and I can’t wait to get home.”

Mokuba and Joey came walking into the kitchen when Greta said, “Seto’s on the phone.” Then she handed it to Mokuba.

“Seto is anything wrong?” Mokie asked.

Seto got misty eyed as he heard Mokuba’s voice and he said, “We’re coming home.”

Mokuba got so excited that he nearly fell down as he jumped up and down and then he said, “Seto’s coming home.”

Seto was laughing as he heard how excited Mokie was and he told him, “Roland and I will be going to the airport in the morning, we want to spend one more night here with Ethan, Shawn and the kids.”

Mokie then said, “Call and let us know when your flight gets in and Joey and I will be there to welcome you both back home.”

Seto then said, “I’ll call and let you know and Mokuba, I love you and I can hardly wait to be home again, I’ve got to go now, talk to you tomorrow.”

Mokuba then said, “Alright and Seto, I love you.”

When Roland pulled into the driveway, Shawn was outside and he smiled and wave as he saw them. They got out of the car, and Seto said, “Will it be alright if we stay here one more night?”

Shawn smiled and he said, “That will be great, because Ethan and the kids are planning a surprise dinner for you both, so we have to stay out here until Ethan says we can go inside.”

Roland, Seto both laughed as they went over and sat down, and Seto looked around and tears filled his eyes as he thought, “Tomorrow will be so hard to leave all of this, but I want to get home and see my brother.”

As the three men sat outside, Ethan and the kids were inside making dinner and as Kelly and Kyle sat on the stools, Ethan let them mix the ingredients for the salad, Kelly looked at Kyle, and she said, “We don’t want Seto to leave here tomorrow.”

Ethan smiled at them and he said, “Well Seto has a brother in Domino that wants his brother to come home. I bet that Mokuba misses Seto and that he can’t wait for him to come home.”

That made both the kids to smile and then Kelly said, “I’d be lost if Kyle wasn’t here, so I guess it’ll be alright if he goes home. Did he really mean it when he said that he’d come back and bring his brother and his life mate so that we could meet them?”

Ethan then said, “Yes he did and when they come back, I bet that Uncle Roland will come with them.”

That caused both Kelly and Kyle to cheer and then Ethan said, “It’s about time to put the meat in the oven and then we can go and see if Uncle Roland and Seto are back.”

They all walked outside and when the kids saw Seto and Roland they ran over and hugged them and then Kelly said, “Kyle and I have helped papa make a really good meal.”

That evening at dinner, they all had a great time and laughter rang through the house. After dinner when the dishes were done, which Roland and Seto helped Shawn do, the kids had a special surprise for both Seto and Roland.

When everyone was seated in the living room, Ethan looked at his brother and he said, “Kelly and Kyle have something for both you and Seto.

Kelly, Kyle both stood up, and Shawn handed them each a piece of paper.

Kelly began, “When papa told us that we were going to have someone come and stay with us, I didn’t know if I’d like that person, but now that you are leaving, well it makes my heart break because I love you like an older brother and I really don’t want you to leave.”

Then Kyle said, “When papa and dada told us about Seto, I was kind of scared of him, but I soon learned to love him and like Kelly said, I don’t want you to leave. I love you and it makes me sad that you won’t be here forever. Uncle Roland we both love you and will you please come back when Seto comes to visit? We love you both so much.”

When they were done, both Seto and Roland had tears running down their faces and Seto said, “I love you both too and I promise that when I come back to visit I will bring Mokuba, Joey and I’ll make sure that Roland is with us too.”

Both Kelly and Kyle ran over, they both hugged and kissed Seto and Roland, and as they held the kids in their arms, Ethan and Shawn smiled at each other.

Soon it was time for the kids to get ready for bed and as they kissed, everyone they ran upstairs, Shawn went with them, and as Ethan sat there with his brother and Seto, he said, “I’ll miss both of you as much as Kelly and Kyle will.”

Roland stood up and went over to his brother and as they hugged each other, Seto thought about Mokuba and he couldn’t wait to be able to hug him. Then Seto went to Ethan and he too hugged him and then Roland said, “I guess we’d better get some sleep, we have an early flight to get.”


Back in Domino:

After Mokuba hung up the phone, he was so excited because Seto was coming home. Joey went over to him and he said, “It will be great having Seto home, but I don’t know how he will feel about me.”

Mokuba said, “Well I really hope that things have changed, but if they haven’t, well to damn bad because I love you and nothing will ever change that.”

Greta was happy to have Roland and Seto come home, but she was concerned how Seto would react to Joey being here. She then said, “I think that we should call it a night, we need to be rested when Roland calls and says that they are at the airport and want to come home.”

Mokie and Joey hugged Greta and gave her a kiss and then they walked upstairs and went to their bedroom. As Mokuba closed the door, Joey said, “I love you with all my heart, will you marry me?”

This took Mokuba by surprise and then tears filled his eyes and he went to Joey and as he put his arms around Joey’s neck and kissed him, Mokuba said, “Yes, I’ll marry you.”

Joey and Mokuba kissed and then Joey said, “We better get some sleep, if I know Greta, she’ll get us up at the crack of dawn to get ready to go as soon as Roland calls.” Mokie giggled and as they held each other, they fell asleep.


Back in Tokyo:

Seto and Roland woke up to the sound of someone knocking on the door. When Roland opened the door, there stood Ethan and he smiled and said, “Good morning, the pilot just called and he said that your flight will leave the airport in two hours.”

Seto got up, went into the bathroom, and showered and after he got out, Roland went and took his shower. Seto was packing things up when Roland came out and Seto said, “I’m terrified about the meeting between Joey and myself. I know that I can’t prevent them from being together, but I can’t stop from thinking that Joey is good enough for my brother.”

Roland went over to Seto and he said, “let me tell you a little story, I too once thought that Shawn wasn’t good enough for Ethan’

I was told to mind my own business because they were getting married with or without my blessings and if I chose to act like I was acting, then I was going to lose my only brother.”

Seto then said, “So what you’re saying is that if I try to stop my brother from marrying Joey, I will lose him forever, is that right?”

Roland then told him, “That is what’s going to happen.”

Seto went back to packing and Roland went to get some coffee. As he entered the kitchen, Shawn was sitting there drinking some and he said, “Where’s Seto?”

Roland told him, “He’s in the room packing and trying to decide whether he’s going to approve the relationship between Mokuba and Joey, or lose his brothers love forever.”

Ethan came in about then and he said, “Let me go talk to him. Kelly and Kyle are getting dressed.”

Ethan walked to Seto’s room and the door was open and as he stood there, Seto was standing with his back to the door and Ethan said, “Seto can I talk to you?”

Seto turned around, he looked at Ethan, he had tears in his eyes, and he said, “I’m afraid to talk to my brother about Joey?”

Ethan asked, “Why don’t you like him?”

Seto then said, “It’s not him actually, I don’t think that anyone one is good enough for my brother.”

Ethan smiled and he walked into the room and he said, “You sound just like Roland. When I told him that I was in love with Shawn, Roland told me that he wasn’t good enough for me.”

“What changed his mind?” Seto asked Ethan.

Ethan told Seto, “I changed his mind. When Roland told me that, I told him that I didn’t give a damn what he thought that I was in love with Shawn and that we were getting married.”

“So what you’re saying is that if I want my brother not to hate me is to tell him that I agree with him about them being together?” Seto said.

Ethan smiled and he said, “Exactly.”

Seto held out his hand and as Ethan shook it Seto said, “No wonder you and Roland have such a great relationship. That’s what I want for Mokuba and myself.”

They walked out to the kitchen and joined the others for breakfast and then Ethan, Shawn and the kids drove Roland and Seto to the airport for the flight back to Domino.

Tears flowed as Seto and Roland said good-bye to the others, and as they boarded the jet, Seto was glad to be going home.
