Four months later...

During one's first few months of pregnancy, the symptoms one the hardest. The vomiting is just the beginning, symptoms and fears get more complicated later on. Aki and Mikage learned that the hard way. The two were mainly used to pregnancy facts they had seen in film or television. They were not ready for some of the things to come and they were going to hit hard.

It was Sunday, Aki and Yusei didn't have work that day and Aki was lounging about on the couch. The red haired woman lied with a plate of cookies of various brands and kinds beside her on the coffee table. Didn't matter what kind they were, she just wanted them during these times.

Her stomach was slowly beginning to grow as well, while she could still wear her recognizable red trench-coat and dress, but it was beginning to grow quite tight. Yusei was sitting on the couch, looking through his deck, picking out what cards to use for his next duel. Aki ate a chocolate cookie from the plate and groaned, Yusei looking up from his cards to her.

"Aki, what's the matter? Is everything okay?" Yusei asked concerned.

"Ugh, I have this awful tate in my mouth... Like metal or copper... I have no idea, but it makes these cookies taste like shit." Aki put the half eaten cookie back on the plate.

"Jesus how many packs of those things did you eat anyways?"

"I kinda combined a bunch of different kinds...I think I used 5 different packs....God I feel so fat..." Yusei chuckled at Aki and she looked at him annoyed.

"What are laughing about?"

"Nothing it's just your so cute." Aki picked up the half eaten cookie and threw it at the chuckling man, the cookie breaking into crumbs on his face.

"What was that for?" Yusei asked confused. His wife pouted at him.

"Cause you were laughing at me overreacting, you think I'm fat don't you?" Aki asked angrily. Yusei just laughed smiling.

"I'm sorry but I meant that you still look cute even with a bit of chub." The red haired woman blushed a bit, smiling.

"You really think so?" Yusei got up, walked over to his wife and Rubbed her pregnant belly.

"Of course, even when you were pouting like that I thought you looked adorable. I think you are beautiful no matter what. No matter how much your face, body or hair changes, you're still Aki to me." Yusei whispered to his wife.

"Wow Yusei...thank you Yusei, That means a lot to me actually." Aki thanked Yusei who smiled and kissed her gently on the nose.

"I'm gonna take a nap upstairs for a bit, the couch isn't exactly doing it for me right now." Aki slowly rose up and turned around, slowly standing up.

"God I still feel a little unpleasant from eating all those things." Yusei put his right arm under Aki's hip with her looking at him confused before he suddenly picked her up bridal style.

"Yusei, no! You're gonna hurt yourself." Aki tried to tell her husband but he just smiled at her while he carried her into the hall on their way upstairs.

"You're not that heavy Aki. Besides, you underestimate my strength."

"I guess I did, but please don't do these for the other months I gotta go through." Aki said while chuckling. Yusei nodded as he carried his wife upstairs. When they reached the second floor the door to their room was directly in front of them. She opened the door for him as he walked inside.

The Fudo's room was a bright, yellow room with rose lined wallpaper, a bed with pure white bed sheets and various wooden furniture which Aki picked so naturally they all have plants or rose carvings on them, from the dresser to the closet, even some of the markings on the bed.

Yusei walked to the end of the room where the bed stood and he laid Aki carefully on the bed and gave his wife a gentle kiss on the cheek.

"Have a nice nap." Yusei whispered to Aki sweetly. She smiled and got comfortable on the bed as Yusei walked out of the room. When the pregnant woman got in a comfortable position her eyes slowly closed and she fell asleep.

"Keep pushing Aki! The baby is almost out!"

Aki was in the delivery room, Yusei and several doctors surrounded her, seat coated her face as she tried to push her and Yusei's child out of her womb. As she did a sharp, powerful pain occurred with every push. The mother in labor was gasping for air as she attempted to release the child.

"Ok Mrs. Fudo, one final push and the child will be out." The doctor told her.

She took as deep of breath as she could and gave as strong of a push as she could.

"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!" Aki screamed, releasing any oxygen she took from that breath. However she noticed that something felt like it came out of her and she saw the doctor picking up the baby.

"Congratulations Mrs. Fudo, you are a mother!" The doctor proclaimed to Aki. She smiled immensely and rose carefully as hard as she could from her lack of strength.

"You did it Aki...it looks beautiful." Yusei told his wife and Aki began tearing up in happiness the baby while still red from just being born and was crying from the new world it entered, the Fudos thought it was the most beautiful thing they ever saw.. Aki held out her hands to hold the child. The doctor gently put the crying child into the new mother's hands.

However Aki's hands started shaking once the baby was in the palm of her hands. Naturally with something so delicate one would expect some shaking as one is nervous about such a delicate life. However her shaking grew and as she pulled the baby to her chest her hands were shaking so bad to the point where the baby was slipping out of her hands. Aki tried to hold the baby tighter...

But it fell right out of her hands.

Aki's heart stopped as she saw the newborn baby fall towards the floor, the cry still being heard. When the infant hit the ground it shattered like glass, millions of fragile little pieces all over the ground...yet it still cried with what pieces remained and ref fluid poured out of the somewhat still pieced together head as Aki looked at it in horror, having a heart attack as she looked at what remained of the child.

"No no...no NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Aki screamed as she suddenly rose from bed awake. She tried to catch her breath, she looked around the room to make sure she was in the real world. As she saw she was in the real world she calmed down...but began to cry deep into her hands.

The door swung open revealing a very shocked looking Yusei.

"Aki, are you ok!?"

Yusei saw his wife crying into her hands and walked over towards her. He sat on the bed and moved by her side. He wrapped his right arm around heri and kissed her lightly on her head.

"Shhhh It's ok Aki. I'm here. Please tell me what's wrong, is there anything I can do to help?" Aki looked to her left and saw Yusei's humble face. The raven haired man took his left hand and began to wipe away the tears streaming down the crying woman's face.

"Thank you...I just had a nightmare..."

"Would you like to talk about it...You don't have to but it might help." Yusei whispered to his trembling wife.

"I gave birth to the baby in my dream...but when I held it in my hands...I dropped it and....and...it fell on the floor and it...." Aki tried to tell Yusei, beginning to tear up again.

"It's ok, you don't have to go any farther if it makes you upset. Don't worry about it Aki, it's just a dream. It's not going to happen." The pregnant woman looked at her husband more panicked than she did previously.

"How can you say that! I've never really took care of a baby before...What if I do end up doing something like that...or worse?? I gotta give it to someone else or even maybe..."

"Aki calm down...You're just panicked because of the dream. When I was in the satellite I met a mother who was worried sick that she would not take care of her baby properly. But through practice before birth she turned out just fine." The red haired woman looked at her husband surprised.

"R-really?"

"Yes! I saw the kid grow up and he turned out A-ok. Would practice beforehand help you out? I'm sure Martha wouldn't mind if you helped take care of a baby from the orphanage." Yusei asked his wife.

"I think that definitely would, thanks Yusei. I feel a lot better now." Yusei smiled at his wife and she smiled back. The couple hugged on the bed tightly for a long time. After something like that, they both needed something as comforting as a long hug.

I wonder how things are going for Jack and Mikage. Are they going through stuff like this?

Meanwhile...

Like Aki from earlier, Mikage was lying on the bed trying to relax from the stress from pregnancy. Adding to that, the overall tired feeling one can have during pregnancy can take a lot out of someone. However unlike Aki she was still awake and reading on her bed in the white room. She was lying a black bed with red sheets while Jack lied next to her. Jack moved a little closer to the pregnant bluenette to see what book she was reading only to see it was a book about being pregnant and was currently reading a section on symptoms of being pregnant.

"Nervous about being pregnant, love?" Jack asked his wife. Mikage turned her head and smiled at him.

"I am, just a bit I should say. I've been feeling kind of off today, so I'm reading this book Stephanie gave me. She told me to see if there was anything I could do to fix. As well as if I should do something in case something is wrong. From what I've read, the cure for my problems seems to be simply to rest and relax." Mikage told him giggling a bit. The blue haired woman had not had much trouble with a good number of symptoms of pregnancy like the strange appetite, mood swings and metal taste in the mouth. However, she had been feeling very tired and cautious about her actions. The pregnant woman suddenly groaned to which Jack looked at her worriedly.

"Are you alright Mikage?" She smiled nervously.

"Yes, just my feet are swelling up and it feels awful." Jack crawled towards Mikage's feet with her looking at him confused. When Jack was kneeling in front of her feet he put his palms on her left foot he started massaging it, making sure to hit all the sore spots and completely remove them from the petite woman's foot. While the action surprised the petite woman, it did help with the pain in her foot immensely. She smiled at Jack as he massaged both of her feet. However she noticed something in Jack's eyes, worry. Mikage recalled Jack's worried expression from when she revealed her pregnancy to him. Throughout the two months she kept seeing worried expressions from him and while he usually came up with an excuse, she couldn't stand it anymore, she knew Jack was worried about the child to come and she wanted to help him with his worried.

"Hey Jack..." The masseur looked up, putting on a smile to disguise his worry.

"I keep seeing a worried look on your face. I know it's about the pregnancy, please tell me what's wrong. I want to help however I can." Mikage told Jack in a concerned tone. The blonde's smile disappeared and sighed.

"Well...I...It's just...You're right, I'm worried as hell...I just am wondering if I can support a kid...What if...What if duel monsters or even turbo dueling is just a fad and it's gonna pass. Maybe I should get a second job and...I." Jack tried to tell his wife.

"Jack, don't worry, duel monsters has been around for 25 maybe 30 years now, I doubt it's going away anytime soon. You make enough money to support a child maybe even more. Please don't worry, were going to be ok. We are in this together, don't forget." She told her husband smiling.

Jack smiled a bit and crawled back to his wife's side. Mikage put her book down and wrapped her arms around Jack. He looked at his wife happily, any sense of worry was gone from his face. For that moment, everything was perfectly fine. Jack put his hand on top of her stomach which was starting to get much bigger. He started rubbing his hand on it, making the bluenette sigh peacefully. She knew there might be more troubles in the future and Jack probably still had his fears but she'll was always prepared for them and for that moment just held on to her husband. She kissed his cheek and Jack chuckled a bit as she began to fall asleep from the comfortable feeling. Jack laid her down gently and put her head on the pillow. He looked at her baby bump and sighed.

'Just have to not worry? I wish I could my love...I wish I could.'

Let me know what you thought in the comments and let me know what to improve on. Also there won't be any updates for a while since I'm going to be going somewhere without internet for Thanksgiving. I'm still going to work on the story however so don't worry.
