Chapter Eight- What Shall We Name the Baby?
Four Months Later
Joey was starting to show the signs of his pregnancy, but as he had stated before, he just said that he was eating too much. No one questioned this, thankfully enough. Joey suspected that Yugi had something to do with that. The blonde had also taken to making a list of names. Some girl, some boy. More girl than boy, though. When he showed this list to Seto, the brunette laughed.
"What makes you think it could be a girl?"
Joey felt his stomach sink. "You mean it is a boy?"
"I didn't say that. I just noticed the number of girl names to boy's."
"I guess I'm hoping for a girl."
"Well, we won't know until it comes. Bakura can't determine the sex like those fancy machines your doctors have."
"That's okay. I like surprises.'
"You didn't like the surprise of being pregnant."
"That was four months ago. I've gotten used to it."
"No more morning sickness, right?"
"I told you last month that it stopped."
"So you did. How much longer until school lets out for the summer?"
"About three more months. And I can't wait."
Seto chuckled. "Don't like school that much, love?"
"Are you kidding? I hate it!"
Seto laughed as he pulled Joey onto his lap and laid back against his pillow. Joey laid his head against the brunette's chest, closed his eyes, and gave a contented sigh. He felt his baby moving around a little bit, but didn't mind. It was moving around quite a bit lately. He had gotten used to it.
"Joey?"
"Hmm?"
"If it is a girl, what would you name it?"
"Well, Nobara is a beautiful name. But, I also like Yuki and Yuri."
"What about Isis?"
"Where did that come from?"
"It's the name of an Egyptian goddess."
"I'll put it on the list of the possibles." Joey yawned and gave a far more contented sigh that indicated that the blonde had dropped off to sleep. Seto eased himself out from under Joey, laying the blonde against the pillow before leaving to go feed for the evening, not noticing that a pair of solid lavender eyes was watching and scheming.
