„Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod. . . „

„Bakura, calm down already!"

„. . . ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod. . . „

"BAKURA!"

"WHAT?"

"Please, sir, stop yelling. . "

"ARGH!"

"I've had it with you! CALM DOWN!!"

And with that, Ryou tackled his pacing boyfriend, slamming him into a wall. "Shut up already! It's not like someone's dying!"

Bakura sniffed, turning his head away, like a spoiled child. No one who'd see him would believe that he killed, slaughtered, stole, and had been a tool of the gods before.

"You act like you're going to be a dad, you know.", Ryou rolled his eyes, releasing the older male's collar. "And that's not the truth, at least I hope that for you."

"Nani? Ryou!"

A soft giggle. "I'm sorry 'Kura. See, there's nothing to worry about. . ."

The next moment, Isis came rushing, nearly knocking them over. "Ohmygodohmygodohmygod. . . "

"ARGH!"

"Ryou, sweetheart, calm down. . . "

"Seriously, what's the rush? It's only-"

The smaller albino was cut off by a soft wail from inside the room, and a louder 'thump' noise. They listened, anticipated, staring at each other with their mouth's hanging open.

"OHMYGOD!"

Fifteen minutes and another wail later, the door opened, knocking all Ryou, Bakura, and Isis over, the boys falling onto their rears, the woman tumbling elegantly before she had balance back. Mariku stood there, much more pale than one could imagine even with his tan, panting.

"Good Ra. . I'm. . and she. . and. . and. . ", he stammered, catching his older sister subconsciously as she flung herself at him. "They're here. . . "

Isis disappeared into the room quickly, as did Mariku again, leaving Bakura and Ryou on the floor to stare at each other. "They?"

"You mean, there. . is more than one?!"

"Let's go see!", Ryou chirped, jumping up, and rushed into the maternity room, greeted with a quite precious sight.

Mariku was actually crying, silent tears streaming down his cheeks as he stared down at the exhausted brunette, who smiled at him tiredly but happy, holding a small bundle. . . in each arm. Anzu was propped up against a sweaty pillow, chocolate strands plastered to her forehead and temples. And the tall, blonde, usually sarcastic man took one of the bundles from her, gently with his large hands, and held it to his chest. Looking down in wonder as his daughter opened bright blue eyes, and watched him in return. "Oh Hathor. . ." He breathed, caressing the soft, chubby, already slightly tan cheek with a thumb.

Isis, usually stoic, was smiling brightly, tears glittering in her eyes as she stroked Anzu's face, running a wet cloth over it to clean it off the sweat, brushing her strands back, and cleaned the small head of her nephew carefully; that was when Bakura gasped, and Ryou let out a held breath in relief.

"I'm. . . mmh. . . glad you came.", Anzu said softly, yawning in between, and Bakura took a seat at her bed, next to Isis, while Ryou went and looked around Mariku to get a look at the baby in his arms.

"Well, you were long enough in here. . . long enough for little Ryou to drink five cups of coffee.", the taller albino answered quietly, causing Anzu to chuckle. "Really now? Ryou doesn't even like coffee!" She smiled, and shook her head, only to put the second baby, a little boy, into Bakura's arms, who took him clumsily, staring down with exactly the same expression Mariku looked down at his daughter. A second later, she was fast asleep, causing Isis to chuckle a bit, and adjust the small boy in Bakura's arms so he wouldn't start crying; the small, still slightly wrinkled face scrunched up cutely already. Ryou scurried over to Bakura, bouncing happily, and flung his arms around his neck from behind, resting his chin on his boyfriend's shoulder as they looked down at the baby. . .

Click! Click!

"Huh?", came from Mariku, Bakura, Ryou and Isis, and even the children had a 'what the-?' expression. Malik smiled brightly, holding a camera, and took another picture from the group looking so – clueless.

"Hi guys!", he chirped, strolling over to the bed, giving Isis and Ryou a kiss on the cheek, and his older brother a hug. "So cute poses, I couldn't resist!" Isis smiled, and took the baby boy from Bakura as the little one began crying from a late shock, rocking him gently. "I think the little one's hungry.", she said softly, gently waking up Anzu, and glared at the boys slightly. Bakura, Ryou, and even Malik flinched, leaving the room hurriedly – they didn't want to see Anzu nursing anyway. Innocent eyes! Uh, semi-innocent anyways. . .

"Do you know what she'll call them?", Ryou asked Malik, who shrugged.

"No, I don't have a clue, Mariku said they had names already though. Hey, you know what comes up next?"

The albinos stared at him blankly.

"Seto and Shizuka-chan's wedding!! Duh!"

"OHMYGOD!"

"BAKURA!!!"

(Ryou)

So, this basically is where it ends. . . or is it? Let me tell you what happened after the twins' birth.

Shizuka wanted a traditional wedding, with dress, flowers, ring, honeymoon and stuff. And she got it! Seto arranged the large pavilion in the backyard, Malik and me the flowers, Mai and Isis the outfits, Mariku and Anzu the food. Isis, Mai and Anzu were bridesmaids, clad in pastel violet silk dresses; and I had to remember how Shizuka had asked me if I wanted to be one too. Evil! I'm not a girl! Then she had laughed, and ruffled my hair so it looked like 'Kura's afterwards. I don't like that either!

They had made Rebecca go as the flower's kid, throwing soft rose petals onto the carpet, in front of Shizuka, when she approached the altar. Even I was nervous, standing next to Malik and Mariku on Seto's side, just for good measure. I looked into the audience out of the corner of my eyes, watching their expressions, and finally found Bakura, sitting there with little Seth on his lap, absentmindedly petting the toddler's tummy. Seth leaned against his godfather happily, dazedly enjoying the attention he got, the large dark blue eyes halfway closed under the mass of sand blonde hair. Strange how the twins got the hair and tan of their father, and even their eye color meshed with a bit of violet in Anzu's azure. Next to Bakura, Yuugi sat, which had Yami on the other side, who had his arms crossed over his chest, but smiled the least bit, and had one hand joined with Yuugi, who in turn had the other toddler on his lap; Anuket, Mariku's baby girl. I mean, he still is head over heels for her, and she has him wrapped – and she knows it. She was the bolder one of the twins; Seth instead was glad being held and protected, while Anuket looked for adventures even at her tender age. And just like the godly pair they were named after, they bickered all the time.

Everything went quiet when Shizuka entered the pavilion, in a long, flowing white dress made of silk and lace, her hair put on, with some strands looking out of the pearl-decorated hair-do, falling over bare, frail shoulders delicately. I could hear Seto's breath hitch, and I could absolutely understand; the girl looked beautiful alright. She walked up to him gracefully, over the rose petals, and looked at him smiling as he held her hand out for her. I barely noticed the ceremony already started, as I watched Bakura rub little Seth's stomach, and smiled the slightest bit as I saw Katsuya cry, being comforted by Honda, who patted his back awkwardly. Then. . .

"I do."

And, yes, I had missed the whole ceremony, until Shizuka's agreement, and I watched them slip their rings on each other's fingers, and kissed, and everyone stood up and started clapping. . . well, anyone besides Bakura and Yuugi, who had to carry the twins.

Later, when everyone congratulated them, I walked up to Bakura who stood outside the pavilion, rocking Seth to sleep; the little one hadn't been well all day. I smiled at him, and felt my heart flutter as he smiled back.

"Hey. . . you look good in that.", he said quietly, pointing at my tuxedo, and I laughed quietly, to not wake Seth. I noticed though that he was a bit tense, and fidgeting. .

"Why are you out here?"

"There's. . . something I want to tell you. I love you Ryou."

"I love you too, but-"

"You know, Anzu and Mariku are getting married soon too, and. . well, I-"

And at that moment, when he reached into his pocket to pull out a small box, Seth blinked, yawned, and threw up all over Bakura's shoulder. . . then blinked again, and simply went back to sleep. I stared, Bakura stared, and I started giggling hysterically, while Bakura groaned and patted his shoulder with the cloth he had with him for Seth. "Now that ruined the moment. . ", he cursed, and I looked up into the sunset-painted sky, smiling at the few stars out here already, enjoying the warm summer air. "What was it you wanted to tell me?"

Bakura shifted Seth's small weight into one arm, holding out the small box with the other.

"I wished I could drop onto my knees now. . . and I wished I would wear something less stained.", he sighed as he watched my face – my eyes going wider each second, and I stared at the ring inside the box. "Nonetheless though. . . will you marry me?"

And by now, I knew I was crying, smiling, sobbing all at once as I pressed the box to my chest, hugging Bakura with one arm, and pulled him down to kiss him.

"Yes, I will. Even if you got the rests of Seth's dinner all over you.", I chuckled, smiling as he wiped my tears away.

"Yeah, sorry about that. . . "

"I think it's cute."

"Me too!", another voice chirped, and we turned to see Anzu smiling at us, reaching out to take her son from Bakura. "Congratulations." She winked, and went back inside, and Bakura stripped off of his jacket, dropping it to the ground to take me into his arms.

"Gods, I love you. . "

"I love you too tenshi. I love you too."

And finally, after he slipped the ring onto my finger and my eyes got teary again, he was able to kiss me; a real kiss this time.
