General A/N: I just spent several hours standing in line at college to get registered for this semester, my feet are killing me so I decided to come home and plop down in bed and relax. And since I don’t have to use my feet to post a chapter I decided to do just that. Hope you all enjoy...
Project: Destiny
Chapter Thirty Two
by Ravenx
“There he is.” Joey smiles widely, his arms reaching out to Mokuba as the smaller boy comes into the room with Talan in his arms. “Did he drink a lot?”
“He took the whole bottle.” Mokuba hands his nephew to the sandy blonde before sitting on the side of the bed, facing him.
“Did you burp him?”
“Yep. He let out a big one.”
“Where is his father at?”
“In the study.”
“He better not be working today.” Joey growls. “His son was just born yesterday and already he is back to work?”
“No, he said he was sending emails to the company and letting them know he wouldn’t be working for a while cause he had a son to look after. I think he just wanted to brag about how cute Talan is.” Mokuba giggles.
“Well, he is.” Joey smiles down at his yawning son. “Is my little dragon sleepy? Did your uncle Mokie wear you out showing you around your new home?”
“I think he likes his new room.”
“Good. Let’s just hope he likes the color blue.” The sandy blonde winks at the younger boy.
“I know. I think Seto may have gone a little over board.”
“Talking about me behind my back?” A deep voice asks from the doorway.
“Always.” Joey holds a hand out for Seto to take, pulling him to sit down on the bed, opposite Mokuba.
“How is our little guy?”
“Perfect. Mokie feed him and showed him to his room and burped him. Now he is sleepy though.”
Talan’s honey colored eyes slowly drift close, his small fist resting above the soft blue blanket as his small tongue pops out of his mouth before slipping back in, his head turns slightly to rest more on Joey’s flat chest.
“So cute.” Joey smiles.
“I always new our son would be cute.” Seto smirks.
“I’m so happy he is finally here. I can’t wait to teach him how to play games.” Mokuba claps his hands silently together.
“You’ll have a while before you can do that.”
“I know but one day I’ll be able to.”
“And I’m defiantly teaching him how to play Duel Monsters.” Joey nods.
“I think I had better do that.” Seto says.
“Why you?”
“He should learn from the best.”
“Well, I think Yami will be too busy teaching his own kid how to duel.” The sandy blonde smiles innocently up at his growling lover.
“I’ll ignore that.”
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“Shh…it’s okay, chubby bear.” Malik walks back and forth behind the sofa in the living room, his arms bouncing gently up and down as he holds his son, his bare feet sinking into the plush carpet, Lyca’s cries echoing off the walls of the room. “Shh, come on, cubby bear. Quiet down and take a little nap.”
“What’s wrong with Lyca?” Yugi asks as he comes into the room from the stairs.
“He didn’t like getting a bath today.”
“Poor thing.” Yugi smiles sweetly at the small baby as he walks around the pale blonde toward the kitchen. “What anything to drink?”
“No thanks.”
“Supper smells good.” Yugi calls into the living room from the kitchen.
“I know, Ryou is a great cook.”
“Thank you.” Ryou sneaks up behind the pale blonde hikari causing him to jump slightly.
“Don’t do that.” Malik hisses at the giggling white haired boy.
“Sorry.”
“Where did you come from?”
“The basement. Took me forever to get up the stairs.”
“How is it coming?”
“It would be faster if Marik and Kura would stop trying to stuff Yami into boxes.” Ryou sighs as he shakes his head. “I swear those two are going to be the death of me.”
“I can’t wait to get moved in down there.”
“You’ll have to wait a while longer. We still have to get a contractor and plumper to build a bathroom and a wall. Not to mention getting all that stuff taken out of here and moved to the storage container.”
“I know but still I’m excited.” Malik continues to rock the crying baby in his arms. “Come on, chubby bear, quiet down.”
“Does he need changing or anything?”
“No, I just feed and changed him. He just wants to be fussy.”
“Takes after his daddy.”
“Watch it, bunny.”
“I thought…”
“Ah! Stop that!” A yell carries up the stairs of the basement and into the living room.
“I better go see what they’re doing to Yami now.” Sighing the white haired hikari gets up and moves through to the entranceway of the house, walking past the stairs toward a door at the back of the small hall under the steps.
Slowly and carefully he makes his way down the stairs, his pale hands grasping the wooden railing tightly as the old steps creek under his weight. His light brown eyes look across the span of the room to find his yami chuckling up against the wall with Marik next to him, his large tanned hands clutching at his sides as he doubles over with laughter. Ryou wrinkles his brow for a moment before looking in front of them to find Yami stuck in a box, his legs hanging over the side as his head of spiky hair leans against the other side, his arms flaring around wildly as he tries to get up.
“I’m so going to kill you both when I get out of here.” Yami growls.
“Bakura!” Ryou shouts, causing his yami to stop laughing and look over at him with wide dark brown eyes.
“Tenshi, I thought you went upstairs.”
“I did and don’t tenshi me. I told you to behave. Yami was nice enough to try and help you and look what you did.” Ryou waddles over to the fallen yami, careful maneuver around the boxes and loose items littering the concert floor.
“He…”
“I don’t want to hear it. Now help him out of there.”
“But…”
“Help him now, Bakura.” Ryou hisses.
The white haired yami quickly moves forward, his pale hand grabbing a hold of Yami’s wrist and pulling hard, forcing the other yami to his feet before quickly letting go of him, moving back to stand next to Marik.
“Because of this you two get the privilege to clean up this whole basement all by yourselves.” Ryou says as he helps dust off Yami.
“What? But…”
“And if you break anything, if you mess anything up, if you fool around and don’t do anything then you will be sleeping down here until you get it clean up.”
“Tough break, Bakura.” Marik chuckles.
“I’m saying this to you too, Marik.”
“What? You can’t…”
“Oh, yes I can. I think Malik will agree with me on this.” Ryou turns his back on the two gaping yamis. “Come on, Yami. I think I might need your help back up the stairs.”
Ryou moves back over toward the steps leading up, Yami walks behind him closely, looking over his shoulder once to smirk at the other two yamis before helping the white haired hikari slowly up the stairs, his hands reaching out to grip Ryou’s sides.
“Thank you, Yami. I’m sorry about them.” Ryou says after they reach the top of the stairs, closing the door behind him before they walk to the living room.
“No problem. I was about to kill them anyway.” The taller boy smiles.
“What did they do to you?” Malik asks as soon as they two are in the living room.
“Pushed me into a box.”
“I’ll yell at Marik as soon as Lyca goes to sleep.”
“Don’t worry, Ryou took care of them.”
“Did our little bunny get angry?” Malik smiles over at the other hikari.
“Oh, yeah.” Yami smiles.
“I hope you….ouch…oh, Lyca, baby, no, let go of daddy’s hair.” Malik pouts as one of Lyca’s fists takes a firm grip on a lock of his pale blonde hair. “Ouch, let go, chubby bear, you’re hurting daddy.”
Ryou moves forward, chuckling as he carefully untangles his friends hair from the death grip Lyca has on it, the baby pouts before letting out a loud scream, small tears welling up in his dark violet eyes.
“I’m sorry, baby.” Ryou apologizes before handing the lock of pale blonde hair back to the baby, Lyca’s cries stopping instantly.
“Uh, why did you do that?” Malik sighs.
“I didn’t want him crying.”
“Yeah, well, you’re going to have me crying in a minute.” The pale blonde grits his teeth as Lyca pulls hard on his hair.
“Sorry.”
“Yami?” Yugi slowly comes waddling back into the living room, his hands grasping his stomach.
“Yeah, chibi ichi?” The tri-colored haired yami looks away from Malik with a smirk.
“I think you should call Seto and see if he’ll get a limo to pick us up.”
“Why? Do you want to go visit Talan today?”
“I’ll do that after.”
“After what?” Ryou turns his attention to the shorter boy.
“After I give birth.” Yugi winces slightly as he holds his belly tighter.
“What?” Yami stares wide-eyed at his hikari.
“I think…oh…I think we need to call the doctors and Jade.” Yugi cries out. “Pain…pain…hurts…please, Yami.”
“Call Kaiba.” Yami yells to Ryou as he runs to his hikari. “It’s okay, chibi ichi.”
“Oh, Yami. It hurts.” Tears fall down Yugi’s cheeks as he wraps his arms around his yami.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
“This is so weird.” Joey shakes his head as he looks down at his sleeping son in his arms.
“What is?” Ryou asks quietly so not to disturb the slumbering raven haired boy laying next to Joey on his bed.
“Yug’s baby is going to be born the day after mine. It’s just weird.”
“It’s going to be nice, our kids all being born near the same time.” Malik nods from his sitting position at the end of Joey’s bed.
“At least now I’ll have some one to keep me company during the day for a week or so.” Joey smiles.
“Don’t Mokuba and Seto take care of you?” Ryou asks.
“Yes but as you can see, Mokie is finding it isn’t that easy to be an uncle.” The sandy blonde chuckles as he reaches over to brush a strand of black hair from the youth’s face.
“Where did Seto go?”
“Lyca was hungry and I don’t trust Marik to use a microwave unsupervised.” Malik says, his light violet eyes looking over toward the door where a grumpy Bakura stands with his arms crossed over his chest.
“Still upset, Bakura?”
The white haired yami sneers at the pale blonde hikari before turning his head to stare at the heavy curtain separating the room into two areas, his dark brown eyes narrowing.
“He is just upset with me right now.” Ryou sighs. “And I don’t care. He should have been nicer to Yami.”
“He deserved it.” Bakura growls.
“Why? What did he do?” After receiving nothing but silence Ryou speaks again. “Did he hurt you? Did he insult you? Did he insult me? Oh, I bet I know, he tried to be nice and help you.”
“Just face it, Bakura, you are an idiot and so is Marik. You two can’t be nice to Yami for more than two minutes.” Malik rolls his eyes.
“Should I even ask what they did this time?” Joey asks.
“They pushed him into a box.” Ryou shake his head. “They were trying to get the basement cleaned up so I could start calling contractors in to look at it.”
“Have you decided which kid is getting which upstairs room?”
“Yeah, we’re all moving around. Kura and I are going to move into my dad’s old room while Yami and Yugi move to Marik and Malik’s room. Our baby will take their room and their baby will take our room.”
“A lot of moving around is coming up for you all.”
“Yep. Plus decorating. I can’t wait to tackle the basement.” Malik rubs his hands together.
“I guess the upstairs rooms will all have to be decorated to, huh?”
“Yes. Dad’s giving us an exact bonus in the money he gives us to pay the bills for the next several months. He says to put it away for remodeling and decorating.” Ryou says
“That nice of him.”
“Very. He says he just wants us to be happy in our new home. Even though I’ve lived there most of my life.” Ryou chuckles.
“He’s still sleeping?” Seto asks as he moves into the room, his ice blue eyes looking down at his little brother.
“Yep, we finally found someone to wear him out.” Joey chuckles.
“Talan wasn’t even awake but a couple hours today. Just think how tired he’ll be when he starts walking.”
“Poor Mokie.”
“How is my little chubby bear?” Malik smiles as Marik carries in their son.
“Full. He drank the whole bottle.” Marik waves the empty bottle in the air before handing his son over his lover. “And, yes, before you ask, I did burp him.”
“Good boy.”
“How often do you usually feed Lyca?” Joey asks.
“About every three to four hours. Depending on how often he gets fussy and wants his bottle. What do you guys do?”
“He is like a little clock. Every four hours on the dot he wants feed.”
“Takes after his father.” Ryou smiles at the tall brunette.
“At least he takes that after me.” Seto smirks.
“What does that mean?” Joey pouts over at his lover.
“My son will need to be punctual if he is going to take over KaibaCorp one day.”
“You aren’t pushing him into running it if he doesn’t want to.”
“We’ll see.”
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Ryou, Joey, Malik, and Mokuba watch from their positions around the sandy blonde’s bed as the other boys help get Yugi moved to the bed directly beside Joey. The small boy’s face is flushed, he groans slightly as he is shifted from the stretcher to the bed, his light violet eyes watching as the two doctors move out of the room with the stretcher and back through the thick curtain.
“You alright, Yugi?” Ryou asks quietly.
“I guess. I just feel a little wiped out.”
“Natural.” Malik nods his head as he rocks Lyca gently in his arms.
“Well, where is it?” Joey asks smiling up at his lover as Seto sits beside him.
“Yami has him, he is telling Jade what name to put down the birth certificate.” Yugi smiles.
“Yet another boy?” Malik chuckles. “We’re just going to be a house full of men.”
“I want to see him.” Ryou pouts.
“Well, here he is.” Yami walks into the room with a bundle wrapped in a pale green blanket in his arms.
“Everyone, I’d like you to meet Asheru Salatis Mouto.” Jade smiles as she gestures to the baby in Yami’s arms.
“That’s Prince Asheru Salatis Mouto.” Yami corrects.
The yami walks to stand in between the two occupied beds, turning to the others before carefully lowering some of the blanket to show off a pink, wrinkled face, a light red cap with dark blue writing across the front reading, ‘Sweet Angel.’ A pair of light purple eyes blinks at the bright light coming from the ceiling, his mouth opening and closing slightly.
“He ain’t no Prince.” Bakura growls.
“Aw, so cute.” Mokuba grins.
“I was a Pharaoh which makes him a prince.” Yami glares over at the white haired yami.
“Key word ‘was.’” Marik crosses his arms over his chest.
“It is still in my blood to be royalty so he shall be known as a Prince.”
“Kura, let it go.” Ryou pleads with his lover.
“I ain’t calling it a prince.”
“He... He isn’t an it, he is a he.”
“Don’t fight right now, guys. Save it for later.” Malik sighs.
“Anyone want to know his stats?” Jade asks.
“Yeah.” Malik nods.
“Asheru was born at 6:19 tonight, he weighed eight pounds, ten ounces, and was a little less than nineteen inches long.”
“I’ve still got the biggest one.” The pale blonde sighs.
“What color hair does he have?” Joey asks.
“We don’t know yet.” Yami lifts up the little cap showing off a bald head.
“Were did you come up with Asheru Salatis?” Ryou asks as he watches Yami carefully sit down on the bed next to his lover.
“It is Egyptian and we both liked them.” The tri-colored haired yami shrugs.
“I’m so tired.” Yugi yawns, one of his hands reaching out to grasp Asheru’s hand that sticks out of the blanket.
“You should get some rest, Yug. It isn’t easy to sleep in her with one baby let alone two I bet.” Joey leans down to kiss Talan on the forehead gently.
“Will you take care of Asheru, Yami?”
“Of course, chibi ichi. You get some rest, I think you really deserve it for bring this beautiful boy into the world.” Yami smiles down at his lover, watching the light violet eyes close slowly.

“Call Kaiba.” Yami yells to Ryou as he runs to his hikari. “It’s okay, chibi ichi.”
“Oh, Yami. It hurts.” Tears fall down Yugi’s cheeks as he wraps his arms around his yami.

“Lyca was hungry and I don’t trust Marik to use a microwave unsupervised.” Malik says, his light violet eyes looking over toward the door where a grumpy Bakura stands with his arms crossed over his chest.
“Still upset, Bakura?”
The white haired yami sneers at the pale blonde hikari before turning his head to stare at the heavy curtain separating the room into two areas, his dark brown eyes narrowing.
“He is just upset with me right now.” Ryou sighs. “And I don’t care. He should have been nicer to Yami.”

“They pushed him into a box.” Ryou shake his head. “They were trying to get the basement cleaned up so I could start calling contractors in to look at it.”

“A lot of moving around is coming up for you all.”
“Yep. Plus decorating. I can’t wait to tackle the basement.” Malik rubs his hands together.
“I guess the upstairs rooms will all have to be decorated to, huh?”
“Yes. Dad’s giving us an exact bonus in the money he gives us to pay the bills for the next several months. He says to put it away for remodeling and decorating.” Ryou says
“That nice of him.”
“Very. He says he just wants us to be happy in our new home. Even though I’ve lived there most of my life.” Ryou chuckles.
“He’s still sleeping?” Seto asks as he moves into the room, his ice blue eyes looking down at his little brother.
“Yep, we finally found someone to wear him out.” Joey chuckles.
“Talan wasn’t even awake but a couple hours today. Just think how tired he’ll be when he starts walking.”
“Poor Mokie.”
“How is my little chubby bear?” Malik smiles as Marik carries in their son.
“Full. He drank the whole bottle.” Marik waves the empty bottle in the air before handing his son over his lover. “And, yes, before you ask, I did burp him.”
“Good boy.”
“How often do you usually feed Lyca?” Joey asks.
“About every three to four hours. Depending on how often he gets fussy and wants his bottle. What do you guys do?”
“He is like a little clock. Every four hours on the dot he wants feed.”
“Takes after his father.” Ryou smiles at the tall brunette.
“At least he takes that after me.” Seto smirks.
“What does that mean?” Joey pouts over at his lover.
“My son will need to be punctual if he is going to take over KaibaCorp one day.”
“You aren’t pushing him into running it if he doesn’t want to.”
“We’ll see.”

Ryou, Joey, Malik, and Mokuba watch from their positions around the sandy blonde’s bed as the other boys help get Yugi moved to the bed directly beside Joey. The small boy’s face is flushed, he groans slightly as he is shifted from the stretcher to the bed, his light violet eyes watching as the two doctors move out of the room with the stretcher and back through the thick curtain.
“You alright, Yugi?” Ryou asks quietly.
“I guess. I just feel a little wiped out.”
“Natural.” Malik nods his head as he rocks Lyca gently in his arms.
“Well, where is it?” Joey asks smiling up at his lover as Seto sits beside him.
“Yami has him, he is telling Jade what name to put down the birth certificate.” Yugi smiles.
“Yet another boy?” Malik chuckles. “We’re just going to be a house full of men.”
“I want to see him.” Ryou pouts.
“Well, here he is.” Yami walks into the room with a bundle wrapped in a pale green blanket in his arms.
“Everyone, I’d like you to meet Asheru Salatis Mouto.” Jade smiles as she gestures to the baby in Yami’s arms.
“That’s Prince Asheru Salatis Mouto.” Yami corrects.
The yami walks to stand in between the two occupied beds, turning to the others before carefully lowering some of the blanket to show off a pink, wrinkled face, a light red cap with dark blue writing across the front reading, ‘Sweet Angel.’ A pair of light purple eyes blinks at the bright light coming from the ceiling, his mouth opening and closing slightly.
“He ain’t no Prince.” Bakura growls.
“Aw, so cute.” Mokuba grins.
“I was a Pharaoh which makes him a prince.” Yami glares over at the white haired yami.
“Key word ‘was.’” Marik crosses his arms over his chest.
“It is still in my blood to be royalty so he shall be known as a Prince.”
“Kura, let it go.” Ryou pleads with his lover.
“I ain’t calling it a prince.”
“He... He isn’t an it, he is a he.”
“Don’t fight right now, guys. Save it for later.” Malik sighs.
“Anyone want to know his stats?” Jade asks.
“Yeah.” Malik nods.
“Asheru was born at 6:19 tonight, he weighed eight pounds, ten ounces, and was a little less than nineteen inches long.”
“I’ve still got the biggest one.” The pale blonde sighs.
“What color hair does he have?” Joey asks.
“We don’t know yet.” Yami lifts up the little cap showing off a bald head.
“Were did you come up with Asheru Salatis?” Ryou asks as he watches Yami carefully sit down on the bed next to his lover.
“It is Egyptian and we both liked them.” The tri-colored haired yami shrugs.
“I’m so tired.” Yugi yawns, one of his hands reaching out to grasp Asheru’s hand that sticks out of the blanket.
“You should get some rest, Yug. It isn’t easy to sleep in her with one baby let alone two I bet.” Joey leans down to kiss Talan on the forehead gently.
“Will you take care of Asheru, Yami?”
“Of course, chibi ichi. You get some rest, I think you really deserve it for bring this beautiful boy into the world.” Yami smiles down at his lover, watching the light violet eyes close slowly.
