Chapter Nine


When the plane took off, Seto was sitting on the outside seat; Serenity was in the middle with Roland sitting next to the window. Seto looked at Serenity and he noticed that she was asleep so he got out his cell phone and called the Game Shop.

At the Game Shop:

When the phone rang, Solomon answered it, “Game Shop, can I help you?” When he heard Seto’s voice, he wondered what was happening. “Solomon, we’re coming home, can Serenity stay there with you so that I can go home and talk to Joey about his sister?”

Solomon sat down when he heard what Seto said, Serenity was alive and we're coming home. “By all means bring her here, Seto please break it to Joseph carefully, he’s been under the assumption that his sister was dead, now to be told that she’s alive, he just might not believe you, so be careful.”

Seto said, “I’m scared that when I do tell him that he’ll be angry because I didn’t tell him earlier.” Solomon then said, “If I know Joseph, I know that he’ll be hurt, but he loves you enough to understand that you had to be sure, and I also know that he’ll welcome Serenity back.”

Seto then said, “I have to go, I’ll call when we land and Solomon thanks for being there for them and for the rest of us.” Seto then shut his cell phone and turned to Roland and he whispered, “When we get home, can you please take Serenity to the Game Shop, Solomon knows that she’s coming, I’ll go back to the Manor and talk to Joey.”

Roland nodded that he understood, and then they both closed their eyes and got some sleep. Serenity peeked to make sure that they were both asleep, and then she thought about what she heard, she didn’t remember Solomon, but if Seto and Joey knew and love him, then she would trust him too.

Then they heard the Flight Attendant’s voice, “Please put all your things away, make sure that your seat is in the upright position and make sure that your seat belts are buckled, the Pilot just said that the plane would be landing in about twenty minutes.”

Seto touched Serenity and she woke up and he said, “Buckle your seat belt, we’re about to land.” She smiled up at him and did as he told her, then she said, “I’m scared, what if Joey doesn’t want me around, what do I do then?”

Seto touched her hand and he said, “Listen, I know your brother and he loves you and when he finds out what your mom did, he’ll welcome you back, so don’t worry so much.”

Roland listened to what Seto was telling Serenity and he was so proud of him, but he did have some reservations, he prayed that Seto was right.

When the plane landed, they went to get their things then Seto turned to Serenity and he said, “Roland’s going to take you to see a friend, I want you to stay there while I go talk to your brother, will you do that for me?”

Serenity nodded her head and then Roland said, “Let’s go.” She followed him outside and they got into a taxi and went to the Game Shop. Seto then called the Manor and told Helga, “We just landed, and can you send a car.” She smiled when she heard his voice and said, “I’ll have Jeffery come, so you want me to tell Joseph that you’re back?”

Seto then said, “No, I want to surprise him.” Helga said, “Alright, I’ll have Jeffery leave right away.”

At The Game Shop:

Solomon heard the bell and went to see who it was and when he saw Roland standing there with Serenity his eyes filled with tears. “Please come in.” Solomon said.

They walked back into the main house, Serenity looked around, and she saw two young men sitting on the couch, Solomon said, “This is my grandson Yugi and his life mate Yami.”

Yami walked over to where she was and he said, “Welcome home.” For some reason Serenity trusted all these people and she said, “Thank you, listen I don’t know who any of you are, but if you’re friends of my brother, then I hope you’ll be my friends too.”

Solomon walked over and he said, “Rene, I knew you when your mom brought you home from the hospital, your parents and brother loved you and your parents asked me to be your God-father, it’s been years since I seen you, but you’re still as beautiful as you were when you were little.”

Serenity looked at Solomon and she asked, “No one but Joey ever called me Rene, then tears filled her eyes and she said, grandpa I remember you.” She then ran to Solomon, threw her arms around him, and as he held her, Roland, Yugi and Yami all had tears running down their faces.

At the Manor:

Seto got out of the car and walked up the steps and opened the front door, he put this things down and went into the living room, where he found Joey playing with Amber. The sight of them caused Seto to began to cry. Joey heard something, he turned around, there stood Seto, and he picked up Amber, and he hurried over to Seto who held them in his arms and they both cried tears of happiness.

Amber started fussing, that caused them to let go of each other, and Seto smiled down at her and said, “God, it’s good to be home.” Then he took Amber from Joey and as he held her, she reached up, touched his face, and smiled at him.

They walked over and sat down and Joey said, “Why didn’t you call, Helga would have made sure that we got there to welcome you and Roland back?”

Seto held Amber to his chest, he looked into Joey’s eyes, and then he said, “Roland had something to do, so he dropped me off before he went to take care of some business.”

Joey leaned over and kissed Seto and he said, “We missed you, and we’re both glad that you’re home.” Seto kissed him back and then he said, “Joey I have something to talk to you about, can we go to your room.”

Joey didn’t know what was going on, but he got up and they climbed the stairs and went to his room, when they went inside, Seto walked over to the playpen, sat Amber down, and gave her on a rattle to play with and then he turned to Joey and said, “While we were in Germany, we met someone.”

Joey looked at Seto and then he asked, “Who did you meet?”

Seto took a deep breath and said, “We met your sister, Joey she’s alive.”

Joey gasped and then he fainted and before he hit the floor, Seto grabbed him, laid him on the bed, and went to get a wet cloth. Seto wiped Joey’s face and when Joey opened his eyes he said, “What did you say?”

Seto said, “Roland and I met your sister and your mother.” “Why in the hell didn’t you call me right away?” Joey said.

Seto stood up and he walked over and looked down at Amber and then he turned to face Joey and he said, “Your sister told us that you were dead, your mom told her two days after her baby supposedly died that you died in a crash.”

Joey was so angry that he wanted to throw something but he took a deep breath and said, “Where are they now?”

Seto told him what happened and that their mom was arrested for trying to take over her husband’s business and that Serenity came back with them. Then Seto said, “Your sister is at The Game Shop with Roland, Joey she’s terrified that you’ll blame her for what happened, that you won’t let her see Amber, she’s a much a victim in all of this as you are.”

Joey then walked over to Seto, put his arms around him and said, “Please forgive me for shouting at you, but what you told me threw me for a loop. Seto please take me to see my sister.”

Seto kissed Joey, then he bent down, picked Amber up and said, “Let’s so go, your sister is waiting to see her big brother and her daughter, and Joey when she knew how much I loved both of you, that she was going to run and not come back, she didn’t what to disrupt your life anymore then it already was.”

Joey touched Amber’s face and he said, “Let’s go meet your mommy shall we.” They got everything they needed, then they walked down the stairs and as Seto opened the front door he said, “I’m so damn proud of you, and when this is all over I want to ask you a question.” They got into the limo and Seto told the driver, “Please take us to The Game Shop.”
