Author's Note: I am still alive, don't worry. I haven't forgotten about this fic entirely, I just had a few others that I've been working on also. Anywho, this chapter should be interesting and cute. I'm trying to get out of the angsty mood I was in when I wrote "Concrete Angel."

Yami: And is it working so far?

Buka: Yep. I'm in a relatively good mood right now, so yeah I'd say it's working. Now who wants to read the disclaimer?

Seto: Not me.

Yami: Fine I'll do it. Buka still doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh, or us. She also doesn't own Rezi Kusanagi or Sachiko who are being borrowed with permission from Nero. All Buka owns is her Dave Matthews CD collection and a few other items.

Buka: Well said. Now enjoy chapter 9 of "Going Under"

Yami: And as always, please read and review.

~*~ December 25th, 2003 ~*~

It was now Christmas, and a little over a month since the night that Yami and Buka decided to spend some quality time with each other. And for once, Buka was up before everyone else. However, she didn't choose to do that. She had been feeling nauseous for just a little over 6 weeks now. Deep inside she knew what was going on, but she wanted to be sure.

'I've felt this before with Hana . . . and I know that food poisoning or the flu doesn't last for almost 7 weeks. I just have to get a pregnancy test and confirm my suspicions . . .' Buka thought to herself, leaning back against the wall for a moment. She was trying really hard to keep from throwing up again.

"I know he'll be happy with this . . . I'm just not too sure about Grandpa . . ." Buka told herself, smiling a little. She had a feeling that Yami wouldn't mind this, but Solomon on the other hand was a different story.

~*~

Meanwhile, one of Buka's best friends was going through the exact same symptoms as she was. Rezi knew that it was not anything she ate, but she was more scared than her friend. She wasn't sure if she was ready to become a mother yet. She was even afraid of what Seto's reaction was going to be. She had a feeling that he'd accuse the first person that came to his mind, and that would be Jounouchi.

"How do I even tell Seto without him jumping to conclusions?" Rezi asked her mother, who just smiled softly.

"He'll understand Rezi, and if not then we'll just knock some sense into him." Sachiko replied, putting a hand on her daughter's shoulder. She was slowly getting used to the idea of becoming a grandmother; she just didn't expect it to happen this soon. But she couldn't be happier. She had already bought a few baby supplies, including bottles and a diaper bag.

Rezi nodded, and half smiled. She just wanted to wait until the right moment to tell Seto. And if it meant waiting, then so be it. She didn't want anything to go wrong, and have him tell her off then leave her. Rezi shook her head slightly, Seto wouldn't leave her really. He'd be pissed off for awhile, yes. But he would never intentionally hurt her.

"But when do you think the right time to tell him is? I'm already 2 months pregnant, and you know that I'll be showing in another month or two so he'll be figuring it out eventually." Rezi asked, putting one hand on her stomach which was already starting to show a little.

"Whenever you feel ready, if you don't feel ready yet, give it some time. Just don't wait too long, alright? And you know that you have your friends behind you as well." Sachiko answered, and then walked out of her daughter's room.

~*~ Later that afternoon ~*~

Buka had finally managed to eat something, and was now lying back on the couch with her hands folded across her stomach. She hadn't taken the test yet, but she knew that Yami would ask her if she had. She could tell that he was as anxious about this as she was.

"Is mommy otay?" Hana asked walking up to the couch holding a new stuffed frog that she got for Christmas. She had dubbed this one Lily, who would be a companion to Ribbit.

"Hmm, oh yeah mommy's fine Hana. Don't worry about me." Buka smiled, sitting up slowly.

"Otay, where is daddy?" Hana said, smiling slightly as she looked around the living room for Yami.

Buka smiled a little as she saw Yami sneak up on Hana from behind. She tried to pretend that she didn't see him, even though it was hard. She just shrugged, as if saying she didn't know. She was afraid to speak, because she knew that she'd end up laughing.

"Eep!" Hana cried out as she was picked up and tickled. She turned her head and a smile crept across her face.

"Was a little flower looking for me?" Yami asked, and kissed Hana's forehead before turning to Buka.

Hana giggled, and then she walked back toward the carpet and resumed playing with her blocks and frog plushies. She was blissfully unaware of the new arrival that would be coming after her birthday.

"So, how are you feeling? I couldn't help but notice you were sick this morning, and every morning for awhile now." Yami asked, sitting on the edge of the couch with Buka.

"A little better, I managed to eat some lunch anyway. I was about to take a test in a second . . ." Buka started slowly, watching his expression.

"What sort of test? You don't think that . . ."

Buka nodded slowly, she just wanted to be sure. If she wasn't pregnant, then it was no big deal. Her theory was always 'It's better to be safe than sorry.' That was also her favorite phrase for the majority of her life.

"I just want to be sure. I mean we both know that the flu doesn't last this long, unless it's a really bad strain. I'll be right back." Buka said, and then walked upstairs leaving Yami looking confused, and nervous.

~*~

Rezi on the other hand was now sitting on the couch of Seto's mansion. She had arrived earlier that afternoon to baby sit Mokuba, and to try and tell Seto the news. At least one good thing came out of this visit, she had told Mokuba once she walked in the door and he was ecstatic.

"So, have you told Seto yet?" Mokuba asked, looking up at her.

"Not yet Mokuba, and I don't want you to tell him either. I don't want him to have a heart attack or anything." Rezi said softly, resting her arms back against the back of the couch.

"No problem. You know I won't say a word, Rez." Mokuba said, still excited over the prospect of being an uncle in a few months. "This is going to be so cool, I'll be Uncle Mokuba."

Rezi nodded, feeling a little better about this. She knew that she'd never get rid of this child, and she hoped that Seto wouldn't want her to. After all he or she was his child to begin with.

"Hey Seto!" Mokuba said suddenly, running up to his older brother as he walked in the door.

"Mokuba. Oh, Rezi what brings you here?" Seto asked as he walked into the living room and saw her sitting on the couch.

"Well, I have something to tell you. You might want to sit down for this." Rezi started, and waited for him to sit.

Seto raised an eyebrow curiously. Whatever this news was, it was unlike Rezi to keep a secret from him. Somehow he suspected something was up, but he didn't want to say anything yet.

"What is it?" Seto asked hesitantly.

"Seto, I'm pregnant . . . now before you jump to conclusions, this baby is yours. Trust me; I should remember that little incident very well." Rezi said slowly, watching Seto's expression.

Seto stood speechless for about 5 seconds before looking over at Rezi, then at Mokuba. The look on his face was one of shock, and disbelief. Could he have been so reckless that he caused this to happen? He could have sworn that he used protection that night. He then fell flat back onto the floor as he fainted.

"Seto? Wake up!" Mokuba said, shaking his brother's shoulder.

Rezi sighed, and headed upstairs to one of the many guest bedrooms. She knew he'd take it like this, but at least he didn't yell. She just didn't expect him to faint that's all. Now she was starting to wonder if he was even happy about this.

"Stupid dragon boy . . ." Rezi said to herself before flopping back onto the bed, allowing herself to let a few tears fall down the sides of her face.

~*~

It had been about 5 minutes since Buka took the test, and both she and Yami were getting more anxious as the seconds passed. They were both debating on who should go up and see the results. After about an extra minute of deliberation, Buka went upstairs with her fingers crossed.

'I hope it's not bad news . . .' She thought to herself as she opened the door slowly. As she walked up toward where she left the test, a smile came across her face as she picked up the tester which read one word on it, and that was enough proof for her.

"Oh my . . . I knew it! This is great!" Buka cried out, and then ran back downstairs after tossing the tester back on the sink; she then hugged Yami before kissing him on the cheek.

"What is it Koibito?" Yami asked, catching her as she ran into his arms.

"Well, remember that night a few weeks ago . . ." Buka started, putting her arms around his neck.

Yami nodded, raising an eyebrow slightly. What was she getting at? Was she dying, or was she not as sick as he thought she was?

"Yes. . ." He started, blushing slightly.

"I'm pregnant, Koi! We're going to be parents! This will be your first child..." Buka cried out in joy, only to get picked up by Yami in return. She could tell that he was happy about this news.

"Oh this is great! This explains everything, even your weird addiction to mint chocolate chip ice cream with sunflower kernels." He smiled, and kissed her gently before setting her back on the floor.

Buka nodded, still smiling. Now Hana would have a little brother or sister soon. And both of them knew that she'd make a great big sister. It would only be a matter of time though, and about 7 months until they found out if they figured right or not.

Buka: ^_^ I bet you all didn't see that coming did you? The next chapter will be even better, and we can meet everyone's favorite twins and Yami clone.

Yami: That was a fast pregnancy . . .

Buka: Well I didn't want to go through all 7 months, so I figured he'd be born in the next chapter. Anywho, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter as much as I did. And keep your eye out for my newest fic entitled "9 Months". So help me I got inspired by the movie of the same name . . . As for the change in ice cream topping, I realized if she had the seeds on the ice cream that would include the shell. So I was saying the little sunflower kernels, minus the shell. So, I hope that cleared up any confusion.

Yami: Either way it's still weird.
