AN: Yes. This is officially the final chapter of 'What You Have'. Enjoy!
Epilogue
"Yes; thank you for coming today. I realize you are a very busy woman." Seto smiled at the representative. Extending his hand, Seto nodded to the lady and showed her to the door. Closing the door behind her, Seto walked back to his desk and whacked his head down. "Ow. God, I hate my job."
"Sir?"
"Yes, Serenity?" Seto asked without lifting his head from its place—imbedded in his desk.
"First, a glass of water and two aspirin." Serenity sighed and Seto heard a soft thunk, which he attributed to a glass of water and two pills. "Uh, sir, could you please sit up when you talk to me? It's rather disturbing to talk to you and for you to reply to the desk."
"Very well." Seto sighed as he raised his head just enough so he could look Serenity in the eye. "What was the other thing?"
"You've got a phone call."
"Damn. Uh, just scare them away, will you? I don't want to think for another hour or so."
"Uh, I've tried sir. He's most insistent."
"How insistent?"
"When I told him you weren't in, he started to scream at me in another language. Then he said he'd wait. I really think this is important, sir. Occasionally I heard he scream at another person. I never heard of so many ways to kill someone."
"Oh, very well. Put him on." Seto groaned. Nodding, Serenity walked to her desk just outside Seto's office and pressed the link button. Lifting the earpiece, Seto rolled his eyes. "Hello, Seto Kaiba speaking."
"SETO! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
"Ryou? Ryou is that you? What's wrong?"
"WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT'S WRONG?! YOU BAKA! YOUR OWN WIFE GOES INTO LABOR AND ALL YOU CAN ASK IS 'WHAT'S'—FUCKING—'WRONG'?"
"NANI? TEA?" Seto gasped. "Oh my God!"
"No shit! And here I am calling from a cell phone I stole off a nurse! Do you realize I've been waiting a half hour just to speak with you?"
"Is Tea alright?" Seto asked as he grabbed his trench coat.
"I don't know. Why don't you ask her?" Ryou suggested, just before a scream of pain was heard from Ryou's end. "By the way, that was her."
"Shit! I'm on my way. What hospital are you at?"
"North Side. (AN: I have no idea about what hospitals are named in NYC, so I made North Side up) Room 2032."
Dropping the phone, Seto raced past Serenity.
"Mr. Kaiba?"
"Cancel all my appointments! I've got to go!" Seto shouted over his shoulder as he headed for the stairs. "And hang up my phone!"
Racing down the stairs, Seto prayed that Tea would be all right. But he wasn't too worried; Tea was a very strong woman.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Are you sure about this?" Seto asked as he turned took the key out of the rental car's ignition and turned to face Tea.
"Of course I'm sure. Besides, it's about time you meet my parents."
"Okay." Seto nodded, getting out of the car. Opening Tea's door, Seto extended his hand to help her out, but Tea ignored it and frowned at him.
"I'm pregnant, not terminally ill." She scowled.
"Tea?" A woman called from the porch of the house Seto and Tea stood in front of.
"MOM!" Tea called.
"Oh, Tea! Why didn't you call? We would have come to get you." Tea's mom smiled as she ran towards her daughter. Pulling two twenties out of her pocket, Tea's mom pressed them into Seto's hand. "There you go. Thank you for driving my daughter here. Are her bags in your trunk?"
"Excuse me?" Seto asked, staring at the forty dollars.
"Isn't that enough? Well, I must say! More than forty dollars for a taxi ride? What is wrong with this picture?"
"Martha? Who is it?" A man called. "Tea? What are you doing here? Why didn't you call ahead?"
"John, please explain to this taxi driver that over forty dollars for a fare is outrageous!"
"Uh, mom?" Tea whispered, tugging on her mom's sleeve.
"Not now, Tea. Let me deal with this driver first."
Rolling his eyes, Seto took Ms. Gardner's hand and returned the forty dollars.
"It's an honor to meet you, Ms. Gardner. Tea has told me so much about you. I am very pleased that you will be my new mother-in-law, should you give your daughter and I your blessing."
"Mother-in-law?" Ms. Gardner repeated, the blood draining from her face.
"I tried to tell you, mom. This is Seto. We're going to be married in a month."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I do." Seto smiled.
"You may now kiss the bride." The priest smiled and Seto lowered his mouth to Tea's. A loud cheer rose from the audience and nearly muffled Mokuba's immature gagging sounds. Kicking his brother lightly, Seto pulled away and lead Tea down the aisle.
"I love you." Tea smiled as she squeezed Seto's hand. Smiling, Seto rubbed the area that was now occupied by a gold wedding band. Grinning back, Tea touched Seto's wedding band with her fingers.
"I love you too." Seto smiled before kissing her again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I am informed that, since I'm best man, I am supposed to give some sort of a speech." Ryou frowned, tipping over slightly and using to table to support himself. "So here goes."
"Oh dear lord." Marik groaned from his spot next to Ryou.
(It was amazing that Marik had been invited, Seto reflected. It was even more amazing that he had come. It was no secret that, while Seto and Tea did not trust Marik an inch, they tolerated him because Ryou loved Marik. It was also no secret that even though Marik had given up on his revenge against the Kaiba's, the awkward situations that occurred whenever Seto or Tea was alone with Marik caused Marik to avoid all of Ryou's friends like the plague!)
"First of all, I would like to say that Seto and I have been great friends since we first meet."
"That's a lie." Seto muttered but Tea softly kicked him.
"And I know," Ryou continued, "That Seto is a great guy. A bit of a stick in the mud, but a great guy. I remember when Seto and Tea meet."
"He's not going to tell everyone, is he?" Tea whispered.
"He's pretty drunk, there's no telling what he'll say."
"It was at a night club. They didn't know a single thing about each other. Hell, Seto even lied about his name!"
"I'll kill him." Seto promised Tea.
"But still, their love prevailed and here they are. Married. I'm not going to say happily, because no married man is happy." Ryou shrugged before Marik took Ryou's wineglass and forced his boyfriend to sit down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You're sure you'll be all right?" Seto asked as he pulled on his coat.
"Yes. I'll be fine."
"Do you have the number of the doctor?"
"Yes."
"And the money?"
"Yes."
"And the asprin?"
"Yes."
"And Mai will be staying with you?"
"Yes."
"And…......"
"SETO! I'm only four months, not nine! I'll be all right!"
"Come on, Seto! We'll miss our flight!"
"Okay, okay. Are you sure?"
"YES! Have fun!"
"I love you."
"Love you, too."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Huh? Tea, what's wrong?"
"I want some ice cream."
"Tea, It's three in the morning."
"But I need some!"
"So go get it. The freezer isn't locked."
"But I want vanilla."
"Not now. Please, God; not now!"
"SE~TO~!"
"Can't it wait? I have a important meeting in three hours, please just let me sleep." Seto mumbled.
"Seto Kaiba! You got me like this so you can sure as hell get me some ice cream." Tea growled as she pulled Seto's pillow out from under his head and began to beat him with it.
"Okay! Okay! You win!" Seto cried, as he rolled out of be and attempted to pull on some decent clothes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Excuse me, sir." Serenity whispered into Seto's ear. "You're wife is on the phone."
"All right." Seto nodded, picking up the phone. "Put her on."
"SETO!" Tea's voice ripped through the phone line within a matter of seconds. "I HATE YOU! YOU BASTARD! I'M NEVER SLEEPING WITH YOU EVER AGAIN!"
"Tea?"
"IF I SEE ANOTHER MALE, INCLUDING YOU, WITHIN THE NEXT TWENTY-FOUR HOURS, I'LL RIP OUT THEIR THROAT! I HATE~E YOU~U!" Tea screamed before taking the receiver and slamming in against a hard surface. Blinking at the phone for a second, Seto realized that the dial tone signaled that Tea had hung up on him.
"Sir?" Serenity asked, from the other side of the door. "Is everything all right?"
"Fine. Tea's just a little on edge due to the pregnancy." Seto shrugged. "Uh, Serenity? Call my brother and tell him we're locked out again."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Just looks like a bunch of black lines to me." Seto confessed as the doctor began to run a scan on Tea's womb.
"Shush. That's your kid, you idiot. Have a bit of respect."
"Well, it seems healthy." The doctor said after a minutes. "Except…......"
"Except? Except what?" Seto asked, beginning to panic.
"There seems to be another child."
"What?"
"You've got twins." The doctor smiled. "Twin boys."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'We never did decide on a set of names.' Seto frowned as he pushed past other people on his run towards the hospital. 'I hope Tea has some ideas.'
Running into the hospital, Seto bypassed the nurse's station and began searching for room 2032. The room however was rather obvious since Joey, Mai, Yugi, Ryou, Marik and Mokuba were standing outside the door.
"Seto!" Mokuba called as Seto ran up.
"What are you doing here? Don't you have school?"
"Ryou came to get me." Mokuba shrugged and Seto sent Ryou a death glare.
"Was anyone with here when it started?" Seto asked the group.
"I had just come over with Joey." Mai shrugged.
"And Marik had just come by. We were going to see a play together." Ryou added. "Well, I'm about to leave and suddenly I hear a scream and Tea's yelling for us. We get up to the bed room and there she is sitting on the ground, clutching her stomach."
"She went into labor in the bedroom?"
"Yes." Yugi nodded—he'd heard the whole explanation when Ryou had phoned to tell him what was happening. "Why was she even at home?"
"Began our twins weren't due for another week or so! Besides, I made sure someone was with her if I wasn't." Seto defended himself. Suddenly a nurse stuck her head out of the room and looked around.
"If the father here yet?"
"That'd be me." Seto replied.
"Your…...... the mother of your children wants to see you."
"Is she all right?"
"Yes. And you have two healthy boys." The nurse smiled and Seto pushed past her. Tea was sitting up in bed holding two bundles of cloth. She looked extremely happy even though her shirt was hanging off one of her shoulders and her hair was plastered to her forehead.
"Hey." Seto whispered. "Sorry I came too late."
"It's okay. I might have killed you if you had been around."
"Is…...... it all finished?"
"Yes." Tea laughed. "I'm just a bit tired. Come closer. Don't you want to see your kids?"
Walking over, Seto looked down at the bundles and smiled at the two red faces.
"They look just like you." Tea told him.
"No. They have your face."
"But they have our hair and eyes."
"They're beautiful."
"Hansom." Tea grinned. "Beautiful is for girls."
"Uh, Tea? Did you name them?" Seto asked, his face flushed. Tea let out a little giggle and then a full laugh, causing the one in her right arm to wake up and start crying. Handing the one in her left arm to Seto, Tea began to rock the crying child.
"Yes. I did name them. This one," Tea indicated the one she was holding. "Is names Ryu Aaron Kaiba and the one in your arms is named Seto Christopher Kaiba."
"Ryu and Seto." Seto whispered. "I love you Tea."
"I know." Tea smiled.

AN: God, I hate that ending. It's such sap; I apologize. I need to work on my endings, I really do.
