The Better Father

Disclaimer Note: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did, would I even bother writing disclaimer notes?!

A/N: To my dear reviewers

mofaf- I hope to Ra I can spell those cravings! I do good enough to try to get the spelling right without a spell check! As for Marik and Malik, I don't think they have a weakness with kids. Look back a few chapters and you'll see Malik used to help babysit Liz with Bakura. As for Yami, oh, he's gonna get it! Don't worry!

Nite Nite: Uh oh! You had the kids spying on Seto and Joey! Shame there! Eh, but don't worry about Mr. Kaiba's mood swings. As long as he gets what he wants *cough, another challenge cough* he'll be one happy little pregnant CEO. And Kura's been good with kids! I have another fanfic (hentai on this one) that has my oc Alison Wheeler in it and he delivered her and Joey's twins, Joseph and Kayla. So he loves kids. He's a big softy at heart. *winks*

Sisco- LMAO! Now I can't make everyone faint now! GROUP FAINT! *giggles* Nah, thanks for your suggestion on Marik and Malik! ^_^

candy cane: Joey, huh? Everyone is one for him. And triplets?! You're a first to ask for them! However, the names get me good. Seth and Jono sound perfect as baby names. That was an excellent idea! Thanks!

Saelbu- *blushes* Aw, thanks! Glad you're enjoying it!

OwaranaimonoAite: Whew! That's a name to remember at times! Well, for some reason, I think Joey's parenting training will kick into full swing on Seto. We all know Joey's a street bully, so use some street smarts and being a dad and Seto will acly fly find out he's in some deep shit. As for the payback...just you wait and see. And it's like 12:07 am here, so don't feel alone.

Ok, guys! We're nearing the end of one challenge. *random audience groans* Yes, the baby/babies challenge is coming to an end soon. It's now been shortened to these three choices:

1. Twins
2. Boys
3. Boy and Girl

It appearso-cho-chan shall have TWINS! Twins won that vote, so basically it's what shall they be? You decide!

The cravings challenge and fainting challenge are still on! Keep those up, guys! You're giving me great ideas! After the babies challenge is over, you do have one more...and this is a BIG challenge. But it'll be under wraps for now.

Thanks for over 1,000 hits!

Now, this chapter's craving was submitted by OwaranaimonoAite...get ready to be grossed out guys. This one ally lly made me gag!

Chapter 9: Mood Swingin' Puddin' Lovin' Pregnancy

I wish you could see me now. My bloodshot eyes, the bruises on my stomach, THE FUCKING MIGRAINE I'VE HAD FROM BEING SLEEP DEPRIVED!!! Ok, now that that's out of my system, let me continue. Seto was now approaching three months. You better believe I've put up with mood swings and other things that would gag a dog (guys, I the they call me a mutt, but it's a joke) for this long. Oh well, I have like, uh, six more months of this.

"JOEY, WHERE'S THE FUCKING BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING?!"

Ok, that jerked me from my thought process. Meet his latest cravings...butterscotch pudding and cucumbers. Gods, it makes me sick just thinking of it! Poor Mokuba just had to leave the room whenever Seto eats. He has that weak of a stomach. Liz, on the other hand, that girl has a cast iron stomach. How she doesn't puke from all this is beyond me. I put the book down that I was reading (ok, I was reading Duel Monsters for Dummies. Is that a problem?) and walked in the kitchen digging through the fridge to find a Snack Pack of the pudding. I tossed it at him and handed him a spoon as well before grabbing the container of sliced cucumbers from the fridge and tossing that at him. "Anythin' else?" I asked a bit testily. "No, that's it," he said and I walked back to the living room to find my book missing. "Da hell?" I asked raising a brow.

I walked in the kitchen to find Seto happilypiinpiing the cucumber in the pudding and eating it like it a a T-Bone steak and all the fixings. Damn, now I'm craving that and I'm not pregnant! "Have ya seen my book?" I asked. He raised a brow pudding on the corners of his mouth. Do you realize how much it took me not to just lick it off? Oh yeah...we do blow jobs now. Until he has the kid, sex is gone. That doesn't fair well for Mr. Hornonal Imbalance I will say that. He's horny faster than any rabbit!

Liz walked in the room and looked at us. She walked to Seto and pressed her small hand on his belly causing him to chuckle. "I felt it kick!" she shouted happily. "Daddy, come feel! I felt the baby kick!" Now that was a first for her. I walked to her and put my hand there. Sure enough, you could feel someone inside. Seto raised a brow. "I'm not doing that," he chuckled. I gave a slight smirk and shook my head. Seto sat back down and Liz sat in his lap. Ok, I could tell I was odd man out here. Liz was pretty good at helping me with Seto. What he couldn't get through me, he'd con her into getting it. It was really annoying at times. But this time, he was just spending a little time with her. "Try this," he said giving her the pudding covered cucumber. Yikes! What is he doing to her?! Brainwashing her like he was hit with the Millennium Rod?! Well, I know that part from experience. Shudder worthy experience if you ask me. Liz took the offered...uh, don't know what to call it, and studied it a moment before actually eating it.

Daddy is offcially grossed out now!

She gave Seto a funny look then. Now I need a camera. That look was an official Kodak moment! She was eating it, but the look on her face was like SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS STUFF?! I was struggling not to laugh while Seto was shaking a bit since he was giggling. "Honey, did you like that?" he asked. Liz shook her head. "Nasty!" she said and I gave her some milk to wash the taste away. She shook her head a bit and I chuckled. "You ok, honey?" I asked. "How can he eat that stuff?" she asked. "I dunno," ghedghed and the craving for that T-bone steak hit again. Oh boy! Do I hear grocery shopping? In my condition?

I bit my lower lip and nodded finally sending one of the guards to go for me. Seto had finished his snack and walked off to his office. He did minor work now. Ryou actually threatened him to the Shadow Realm if he was told he did any hard labor. I guess the poor guy had finally got his wits end as well. Bakura was already in the house now. Ryou would be coming in the next couple of weeks. Liz walked upstairs and bounded in Bakura's room doing her famous flying leap on his chest. "Damn, girl," a sleepy voice said. "Let Uncle Bakura sleep!" "Papa made me eat this gross stuff," she said. "Why does he eat that stuff, Uncle Kura?" Leave it to Miss 20 Questions to make anyone not sleep. Bakura looked at her a moment and sighed. "Well, it's like this, Liz," he said sitting up slightly. "Papa has a baby inside him, right?" She nodded. "And babies have different food choices than we do. They make their mommies eat stuff that looks gross and tastes gross to us, but really it's helping the baby." "Oh," she said nodding. "Thanks, Uncle Kura." She slid down and kissed his cheek before leaving the room and sat in my lap after I finally found my missing book.

"Daddy?"

"What is it, sweetheart?"

"Where do babies come from?"

This child has officially got my attention. I nearly dropped my book in shock. "Could ya repeat dat?" I asked. She did so just as Seto walked in the living room and we looked at each other. "Mokuba already knows," he whispered. "Shit, Seto, she's four not his age!" I hissed back covering Liz's ears. "Well, make up something!" Seto shot back frowning. To keep from him going into full blown mood swing mode and for the sake of peace, I agreed. "Well, babies come from a bird called de stork," I said slowly. "Dey bring babies to dey're parents and dat's how dey wind up in dey're mommies' bellies. It's like he plants a small seed and de baby grows from dat." Would she believe that? I believe she did from the way she was looking at me. "Cool!" she said happily and ran off. Seto sighed. "I'm surprised she didn't ask what sex was," he said. "Me too," I said returning to my book. Mokuba suddenly ran downstairs being chased by Liz. "I wanna see!" she whined. "No!" he shouted. "Get your own!" "But...I don't have that book," she said pouting a bit. "Damn, Liz, if he says no, he means no!" Seto shouted angrily and she looked at him. Mokuba knew how sensitive Liz was and held her close as she burst into tears. Thanks a lot, Seto Kaiba. Now you blow up at the kids as well as me.

But Liz wasn't the only one who started crying.

Kaiba burst into tears as well.

Followed by me.

And then Mokuba.

Oh yes, it was a quartet of crying souls downstairs. Bakura stared at this with a dull expression on his face. "You know, when you guys are finished throwing your fits, I'll be fixing dinner," he said and we looked at each other. Suddenly, I heard a snicker and looked at Mokuba. Liz began giggling followed by Seto and I just joined in as well. After a good cry, it helps to just laugh.

Dinner was rather good. I finally had my steak and Seto ate "normally" for once. Liz and Mokuba were having a mashed potato fight and atteatted Liz's leg to stop her. She halted and began eating again. I give her one warning or else she knows she's in for it. She's grown to know what that warning is and has pretty much straightened up from it. It was Friday night and we usually watched a movie. Seto snatched his share of the popcorn and actually grabbed some chocolate syrup and mustard and poured it oere ere and ate it! I turned my eyes back to the movie and not at my boyfriend's eating habits.

I will be damn glad when six months comes.

But you know those surprises...they spring up on you when you least expect it.

And would you believe, it was actually double that what I thought?!
