The Better Father

Disclaimer Note: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Don't even think I do!

A/N: Special thanks to my reviewers. I'm gonna start replying to them so here we go.

Saelbu: Thank you so much for your kind reviews. I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

kk: I hope this isn't getting depressing as you're thinking. With any relationship, there are hard times. Hang in there.

OwaranaimonoAite: You know, you gave me one hell of an idea the the MPREG. I think that's right up lleylley in this fic.

Nite Nite: Aw, thanks! ^_^ I aim to please. As for Mokuba and Liz, this is why you should never leave kids unattended...especially if you're Seto and Joey! *snickers a bit*

I've been convinced to do MPREG in this now, but however, Joey's not the one who will carry the kid. I'm gonna do a first in YGO MPREGs: Seto Kaiba shall be my "victim"!

I have another warning for this chapter. It does have kiddie words, so I have to add that warning.

Now...on with the story!

Chapter 4: Time To Relax And Unwind...For Now

It's been about two weeks since Seto and I made love and our relationship seemed to be well. Heh, even I got the chance to show him my hidden talents. Yes, even JWheeWheeler knows how to make love to his man or lover...whatever the hell you call it. Believe me that night was bliss too. Ok, enough about that.

Liz's fourth birthday was coming up and Seto decided to take us all on a week's vacation during that time. Only he and I knew where we were going. The kids, however, were to remain clueless until we got there. Liz sat on the bed watching me pack. I had long got her ready and she studied me carefully. "Where we goin', Daddy?" she asked. I chuckled and ruffled her hair a bit. "I can't tell ya," I said. "It would spoil de surprise." She pouted a bit and Seto chuckled lifting her in his arms and tossing her in the air and catching her. She squealed with delight, but I was thinking she would be losing her lunch from all that. "Baby, she just ate," I reminded him. "Oh yeah," Seto said and stopped. "Papa, you'll tell me, right?" she asked with a hopeful gla She She called Seto Papa now since we started dating and he was making plans to adopt her so he could help me raise her. I chuckled and watched his reaction.

"No, honey, I can't tell either," he said smiling. "Like Daddy said, it's a surprise." She sighed. "All right," she said finally deciding to give up. He lifted her in his arms and smiled. "Do me a favor and take her to de bathroom before we go," I said. Seto nodded and left the room with Liz in tow. Gods, I was now reminded when we first potty trained that poor girl. Believe me, that was a chore and a half! They say girls are easier than boys...Liz defied that.

~FLASHBACK~

"Come on, Liz," Seto said. "It ain't dat bad, baby," I supplied. Liz stared at the new potty chair in wonder and raised a brow. "Chair!" she shouted suddenly. "No, potty," I corrected. "When yottaotta go, you go in dat." Of course that led to another funny look from the two-year-old. "This is gonna take awhile," I sighed. Seto nodded looking like he would rather keep her in diapers and forget the whole damn thing. She's been with me in the men's room plenty of times, so I figured she'd catch the message that way. Nope, she had to be slow at certain things at times. Later that afternoon, Seto and I sat in the kitchen doing over what was for dinner when we saw a little body running fast with Mokuba flat on her heels. Liz had no diaper on and was basically carrying the diaper she was supposed to have on in her hands as she was running from Seto's little brother. Seto and I loked at each other and then at the scene. Mokuba grabbed her and sighed. "C'mon and let's get you dressed," he said. "NO!" she shouted almost going into her "scream mode" as we dubbed it. "Start screaming and I won't let you play with my robot!" he warned. That shut her up and he carried her off.

Seto just watched the scene and looked deep in thought suddenly. I raised an eyebrow and waved my hand in front of his face. "Earth to Seto Kaiba!" I said. "Your village is callin'!" "I'm still here," he said flatly. "I have an idea to help with Liz. It might work, but if it doesn't, we'll have to figure something else out." "Please tell me it requires duct tape for diapers!" I pleaded. "No diapers involved on this one, mutt," he said. "In fact, you're way off of what I have in mind." Well, shit, Seto! Just make me look like a bigger fool that what I'm feeling right now. He grabbed his key and smiled. "Trust me on this, mutt!" he said and ran off. Trust him?! Hell, I sometimes hated being in the same room with him let alone trust his ass! But if it was to help Liz, I'm all ears.

When Seto returned, I was studying Duel Monster cards and Liz was trying to figure them out. Well, had to find some way to keep the child occupied. Otherwise she'd be playing The Streak all over again. He had a large paper bag with him. Apparently, he had went to the 7-11 down the road and got something. "Lookie!" Liz said suddenly and held up Rocket Warrior. "Dat's Rocket Warrior," I explained. "Woket Warrior?" she asked and I had to laugh at her little accent. If she starts sounding like me, I'd be rather honored. Seto chuckled and looked at Mokuba. "Watch her a minute," he said. "Sure," Mokuba said. "Mokie!" she said. "Woket Warrior!" He chuckled. I followed Seto in the kitchen once again and frowned. "What's up?" I asked. "Look in the bag," he said and I did so to find those diaper like training pants that are supposed to be like underwear to a little kid. "You sure 'bout dis?" I asked curious suddenly. "Well, give her the basic facts and maybe it'll work," he said. I sighed. "I'll do dat in de mornin'," I said. "She gits changed den, so it'll be better." He nodded.

Seto's idea worked for awhile. When I mean worked, I mean she was finally out of the diapers. Other than that, you better believe we were armed with 409 and other cleaning supplies since she wasn't about to go anywhere near that potty chair. When she had to go, wherever she was in the house was good enough for her. So, we had to figure something out again! I finally decided to bribary, which I know isn't the best parenting technique, but if the shoes fits, wear it! How did I do it, you might ask?

Duel Monster cards.

Oh yes, at two years old, my daughter was totally interested in the game. She had seen me and Seto duel a lot and loved chasing the holigraphic monsters around. Yami would sometimes pull out Dark Magician Girl and she'd giggle at her. When it came to the Dark Magician, she stood rather somber and looked up at him without a word. So, when she would do what she was supposed to with the potty, she'd get to learn a new card or play with the monster. Worked like a charm.

~End Flashback~

Seto returned with Liz and put her down as I had her sit on the suitcase to close it. She giggled and I kissed her cheek. "Give me de kiss I never got dis mornin'," I said pouting slightly. She giggled harder and did so. Seto pouted then. "What am I, chopped liver?" he asked. She kissed his cheek too and he smiled. Mokuba walked in and sailed in my arms like he was Liz on one hell of a sugar high. I caught the kid and chuckled. "You're too old for dat," I said. "Aw, come on, brother!" he pouted. If Liz calling Seto Papa wasn't enough, Mokuba calls me Brother or Big Brother as well. I liked it though. "All right," I said. "Take Liz to de car and git her buckled up." He nodded and the two ran off. I sighed chuckling a bit. "You sure Yami isn't mad for you cancelling Guys Day Out on him, are you?" Seto asked kissing my forehead gently. "I'm sure," I said. "I wanna spend time with my family. Is dat so bad?" He shook his head. "Nope, I wouldn't say that," he said. "Let's get the kids to the island and they can have fun." I chuckled. We had managed to book a week on our own island. No one to bother us for an entire week and Liz could get her wish to be near the ocean. That was our birthday present for her.

We walked to the car and I put blindfolds on the kids' eyes. "No peekin'," I warned. Liz figited at that thought. "How long we keep them on?" she asked. "Until we say take them off," Seto said. Liz and Mokuba both looked like lost puppies then, but during the drive, both were out like lights. The only thing out of me was snoring. When it was very quiet, I usually napped. Like I get to any other time of the day besides nighttime. Seto continued driving and had the radio on to a low volume to keep from waking the three of us up. Like we would have heard it anyway as deep as we were sleeping. Later that afternoon, we arrived at our destination and I was already awake and eating some potato chips. Liz's head was still against her car seat meaning she was asleep. Mokuba was in the stages of waking up. Seto parked the car and I lifted Liz in my arms removing her blindfold. Yep, she was asleep.

Mokuba yawned sleepily and Seto lifted him in his arms. "Let's get the kids inside and let them nap," he suggested. I nodded and we carried them to their room. Seto and I had one next to theirs. I put Liz down gently and kissed her forehead and Seto laid Mokuba beside her and he fell asleep again. Good mov his his part. I decided to explore the beach house and Seto was out in a hammock resting from driving all day. He was dressed in an open Hawaiian shirt, a white tank top underneath, and khaki shorts. Me, I dawned on a tank top and shorts. That was it. Well, plus the shades I had on. Seto had some on too and he had them propped up on top of his forehead as he slept. I had to admit, he looked very cute like that. I decided since everyone else was asleep to catch some Z's as well. I curled up with Seto on the hammock and he lazily put one arm around me and snuggled against me as I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

This vacation would be one to remember I will grant you that.
