I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh but Victoria is mine. Thank you to Nina wyndia, stephanie and Sakura Trees for reviewing. Reviews are now responded to on my aol homepage. Reviews are welcome, flames mean more s'mores!

I felt myself in a world between coconsciousness and darkness. Everything around me was dark, but I could hear voices.

"We need to get her to a hospital."

"Fuck her, she doesn't deserve to live."

"How can you say that about your own wife?"

"Very easily Pegasus."

"Knock it off you two. She's dying."

"Let her rot in hell."

Slowly, everything around me became lighter and I felt myself being pulled back into the world of life. As I opened my eyes I had to blink a few times before my eyes adjusted to the light. I was in a hospital room, and I was alone.

What's going on? I thought. Where is everyone? And why do I feel like shit.

Then, it hit me. Seto had shot me. Quickly, I looked down at myself. A dull pain radiated from my shoulder. Slowly, I pulled the hospital gown down from where it was on my shoulder. There was a gauze patch taped to my skin.

"So that's where I was shot." I mused to myself, looking at the gauze pad.

"It's good to see that you're alright." A woman's voice came from the doorway.

I looked up; a nurse had entered. She was middle aged and looked as if she had spent most spent most of her life helping the sick in Africa. A smile came on to her face when she saw me.

"The doctors were worried." She said as she looked at a couple of the machines I was hooked up to. "You were very weak, having been as hurt as you were."

"Where is everyone?" I asked.

"You mean Mr. Kaiba?" She looked at me curiously. "Well he's saying that you made him shoot you. Mr. Pegasus and Mr. Wheeler, well, their stories are different but we both know that your husband has enough money to get out of whatever trouble he's in."

"Right." I replied, resting against the pillows.

"Then again, the police have put a restraining order against him for you. The strangest thing was, he filed for divorce. I think he cited something about adultery."

"Imagine that." I smiled a bit.

"Your parents are coming from England to see you Miss Brown. They said that they're anxious to see their grandchild."

"Fun. Looks like I'm going to have a lot of explaining to do."

"I guess so. By the way, Mr. Pegasus said that he wanted me to give this to you." She handed me an envelope. "I do suppose that you're well enough to read it."

"Of course." I replied as she left the room.

Sighing, I looked down at the envelope. My hands shook and my heart raced. Slowly, I tore open the top and pulled out a sheet of paper. It read:

Dear Victoria,

If you're reading this than it means that you're well. I'm glad, I was so afraid that you would face some ill effects from Kaiba-boy's gun. Mr. Wheeler told me about the past nine months for you. You don't know how much I wish I had found you. The doctors say that I cannot see you because it would be some sort of liability. I promise that I will be there as soon as you are released. I love you.

-Maximillion.

"Well Victoria." My father sat across from me in my childhood home.

I'd been released from the hospital a couple days ago and my parents had flown me back to Cambridge in England. Now, after I'd relaxed for a few days, my father had decided to start questioning me on my whereabouts for the past three years.

Father isn't a strict person, but he is persistent. It took me the longest time to convince him that I wasn't shot because I'd done something truly wrong.

"Yes Father?" I asked, pulling Heaven closer to me.

"What has been going on these past three years?"

"It is a very long story."

"We have time. Tell us."

"Well, it all started in a bar in Japan. I was drunk and Seto Kaiba wanted a trophy wife. We got married and I spent two uneventful years as his wife. About a year ago he held a party and I met someone. That night, something arose with Kaiba and the next morning I left without telling him. While heading into town I met the man from the night before. He let me stay with him for a few days. Eventually one thing led to another and…"

"Go on." My father prodded, even though his face had changed to a deep shade of red.

"Well, I guess you can figure out what happened. The next morning Seto found me and he took me back to his mansion. Not long after I found out I was pregnant."

"Who is the father?" My mother inquired from the other side of the room.

"It's" I took a deep breath. "The man I had the affair with, Maximillion Pegasus."

"The creator of duel monsters?" Both of my parents sounded shocked.

"Yes." I replied, looking down at Heaven who was smiling. "I need to tell him."

"We'll arrange it." My father sighed.

My heart was beating wildly in my chest as I waited for Maximillion. My parents had contacted him a few days ago and he'd said that he'd be flying in to London. I could hardly contain my excitement as I sat on a bench in the gardens behind my home.

"Victoria?"

I whirled around to see Maximillion standing behind me. A huge smile came over my face. He sat next to me on the bench and put his arm around me.

"Thank god." I whispered, resting my head against his shoulder. "I was worried that Seto might have done something to you."

"I was worried about you." He looked into my eyes, and then he smiled at Heaven. "Who is this?"

"This is Celestyn." I smiled a little. "She's our daughter."

"What?" He pulled away from me.

"That night we spent together, I got pregnant." I looked at him, worried that he was going to leave.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I tried, but Seto wouldn't let me out of his sight."

There was silence. I held my breath. Maximillion looked like he was mulling something over. Then, he sighed and sat back down next to me. Slowly, he pulled me closer and looked at Heaven.

"Well I guess the honorable thing to do would be to ask you to marry me." He said, glancing up at me.

I didn't know what to say, and he continued:

"Victoria, will you marry me?"

"Yes." A huge burden just felt as if it was lifted off of me.

"May I?" He motioned toward Heaven.

I gently put her in his arms. He held her as if she was made of glass. A small smile came over his face and I felt an overwhelming sense of love for him.

At last, my journey is complete. Heaven has a father, I have a husband, and we're all a family. Whatever helped us, thank you. Thank you, for everything.

The End

A/N: Wow, my first real story that I've finished. I know I said that this would be longer than the pervious chapter, but I guess I lied. Anyway, I hope everyone has enjoyed this as much as I have.

There is a chance that I will do a similar story, but I won't make any promises. Anyway, thanks for reading. This is kitsunemajin signing off.
