Epilogue
"SETO!"
Kaiba silently growled to himself hearing the nerving voice of his younger brother from downstairs. Lifting the little blue-eyed girl in his arms she smiled at him and pulled at his fly clapping her hands in surprise when he glared down at her.
"SETO! Damn it! We need to hurry! Rebecca is going to kill me! Come down now, will you!"
Again Mokuba's voice rang in his older brother's ears and sighing he headed with the kid on his arm from her room to the direction of his bedroom. Mokuba was nervous and had all rights to but they had plenty of time still. Entering his bedroom he found his wife standing in front of the big mirror at the wardrobe's doors. She had an unpleased expression on her beautiful features.
"Are you done? Mokuba's calling for me every other minute." The dark haired man said unimpressed.
"Look at me, Seto. I can't go like this." Serenity whined while her daughter responded this with carefree laughter again pulling at her father's fly.
"Why? It's okay." He replied wondering what his wife was on about. The red dress was fitting her perfectly; just like the day she had chosen it to wear on this special day.
"Okay, Seto? Look at me!" Again the whining started. "I'm fat." With big sad hazel eyes Serenity looked at her husband, than back in the mirror, sighing.
Kaiba looked at his daughter. "Your mum's insane." He shook his head when the kid gazed at him with big azure eyes and put her down to go to Serenity.
"Really, you are." Seto said when he pulled her close to wrap his arms around her waist. "But you are even more beautiful than insane." Leaning down he kissed her.
"Do you really think? Still?" She said almost pouting.
"Yes. You're growing even more beautiful with each day." He shrugged as if it was the most normal thing in the world and wondered why she couldn't see that. Then his gaze shifted to the little girl on their bed, playing meanwhile with her light blue dress. He couldn't help his groan and lifted a threatening finger. "Sari, don't! Your pigtails will undo themselves."
The young girl just laughed and fell on her butt. The mother sighed and picked her up while Seto was already waiting for his women in the doorway. But Serenity stopped and smiled suddenly taking in the sight of her husband.
"You haven't changed during the last years." She said shaking her head slightly.
"Apart from the gray hairs because of your daughter." Crossing his arms he replied.
But his wife just kept smiling and shook her head. "You have not a single gray hair, Seto. No, you're looking like at our wedding."
"That's just because it's the same suit." He shrugged and raised an eyebrow.
"SETO!" The voice from downstairs desperately rang through the mansion.
"I swear I'll kill him even before he's going to get married." Kaiba growled when Serenity passed him by with Sari on her arm.
Mokuba stood cross-armed in front of the door and padded his foot on the ground. His hands were fiddling with a small box where a shiny golden ring was in. His raven hair was tied into a neat ponytail and the dark suit with the blue vest fit him perfectly. Seeing his brother with family approach he padded his index finger on his wristwatch and glared at all of them.
Half an hour later they four of them found themselves in the big hotel's garden. While Mokuba was rushing off to the gent's for the hundredth time Serenity smiled seeing his brother wave at her. Joey and Mai were talking to Yugi when the Kaibas approached them. After the standard greetings Joey gazed at Kaiba with a stupid grin.
"So finally the last one of us is going to get married, huh?" Then the blond guy laughed. "Imagine Kaiba, it could have been your wife instead of Rebecca."
"But it is not, Wheeler." Kaiba replied with a smirk.
"Where's my sweet little niece?" Joey stretched out his hands for Sari but she hold on tight to her mother. "That's your influence, Kaiba."
"You bet." Another smirk was sent out to Seto's brother-in-law.
"Where are the twins?" Serenity asked Mai.
"Tea's somewhere around with them and little Yami." Scanning the area Mai pointed to the brown-haired women who was obviously having trouble coping with three kids at a time. "You should go and help her."
"I'm coming along. Sari will be happy seeing her cousins." Serenity smiled and accompanied the blonde.
Mai and Joey had been lucky to receive twins after they had gotten married five years ago. While their daughter Joanna was just like Joey with a big mouth and like her mother with the good looks her son Mikey was nothing like them. He was almost like his aunt Serenity, shy and quiet. Tea and Yugi instead had become parents little time later with a boy. The name Yami had been Yugi's idea but Tea agreed thinking of how much they both had to thank the pharaoh.
Mokuba arrived with wet palm minutes later joining the other men. He was nervous getting married finally to Rebecca. They had spent the last five years together and now they were ready to settle down and take life a bit slower. So he had asked her to become his wife. Hopefully she still wanted to and wouldn't leave him standing in front of the altar.
"Are you actually oblivious to that our kids are nearly the same age. Maybe they 're going to get married to each other one day." Joey said and laughed.
"My daughter won't get married to any kid of you." Kaiba stated while Yugi just gazed at his friends.
"I was talking about Joanna and Yami." Joey hissed. "Anyway, Yugi, you and Tea should try to get another kid. A girl for Mikey." A grin appeared on the blonde's face.
"We'll see." Yugi said uncertain of he wanted to have more kids at all.
"Or Mokuba and Rebecca have to get a sweet little girl for Mikey!" Joey grinned facing the groom.
"Huh?" The raven-haired man just gave a puzzled expression. He hadn't been part of the conversation mentally.
"Better think twice about it, Mokuba, if you want to have kids." Kaiba stated blatantly. "Bugging little brat they are…" He mumbled more to himself than to anyone else.
Unfortunately Joey heard though. "You only have one, Kaiba! I really wonder how my sister's coping with a moody bastard like you every day. Poor Sari."
A snort escaped the blue-eyed man and he was ready to shoot another comment when his wife arrived back with Mai and the kids.
"Are you ready, Mokuba? About time. Tea's gone to see after Rebecca." Serenity said.
"Huh?" Again the young man had been daydreaming.
"Seto, take your brother and go. Rebecca will be coming any moment." The auburn-haired told her husband who willingly obeyed as Mokuba's witness.
Mai was meanwhile pulling at Joey's sleeve to place him in the row with Joanna on his lap. The girl was babbling as usual and pulling at her twin brother's hair when Mai sat down next to her husband. The seat next to Mai was given to Serenity who had Sari on her lap. The fringe of her chestnut hair was falling into her face but she didn't attempt to push it away. Instead the little girl was glaring at the Wheeler twins. Mai groaned annoyed.
"Serenity, can we swap kids? Joanna won't keep quiet with Mikey around."
"Okay." Serenity said when she saw the mess her friend was in. Mikey was near crying. So she handed her daughter to Mai. "Go to aunt Mai, Sari and be a lovely girl."
Taking the boy on her lap Serenity smiled at him. His two big violet eyes gazed at her from under strands of ash blond hair. He would certainly be a very cute guy one day. Meanwhile Joanna had already calmed down with a glare at Sari who replied it with her icy blue eyes. Mai chuckled at how similar the girl was looking to her father. If she was a boy her aunt would have been scared. Her daughter was finally pleased when Yugi joined them next to Joey. He had Yami on his lap who was apart from the brown hair looking like his father. What would happen when even more kids were in their little group?
The ceremony began and Serenity was close to tears. Who would have thought that Mokuba and Rebecca made such a cute couple after all? By the way Seto was looking gorgeous next to his brother and Serenity had no regrets marrying the CEO four years ago. Mai sent a blissful smile to her friend seeing how emotional she had gotten. Mai and Joey had been the first ones to marry and when Serenity suddenly got pregnant almost the same time as Mai Kaiba pressured to get married. He was an old-fashioned guy after all.
Yugi and Tea got married short time after them and later Tea suddenly even was pregnant. They were lucky to become parents four months later than Serenity and Seto when the Wheeler's twins had been almost six months old. It had been all a big surprise in the end that from all the possibilities their kids were almost they same age. Now Mokuba was getting married to Rebecca who wasn't pregnant so far but knowing one Kaiba you know them both. Mai was sure sooner or later they would become parents as well.
After the ceremony that made all women cry and all men roll their eyes Mokuba and Rebecca officially exclaimed that the party should begin. Their first dance was looking like in a Cinderella story when Rebecca's bridal dress was sliding across the floor. And 'Prince' Mokuba was guiding her like he had done nothing else the last ten years. Only insiders such as Tea knew he had taken dancing lessons – the brown-haired had been his teacher. A very talented person she had thought but an annoying one as well.
"My little girl's finally married and going to become a mature woman." Her grandfather said with a sigh what made Kaiba smirk.
Serenity elbowed her husband before he would say something unnecessary. She smiled at Professor Hawkins and squeezed Seto's hand when he glared down at her.
"Mai, my beautiful wife. Would you give me that dance?" Joey said with a grin holding out his hand.
Making sure their kids were occupied under Tea's eyes she nodded with a smile. "I'd love to, Mr. Wheeler."
And Joey led his wife to their first dance after the past weddings they attended including their own. Serenity meanwhile wrapped an arm around her husband's waist and sighed. It had been their wedding when Seto had asked her for a dance, never before, never after. Maybe she couldn't change him but she knew he needed her as much as she needed him.
"Joey?" Mai suddenly said when they were dancing.
"Hm? What is it?"
"I've got to tell you something. You had always wanted to have a small family and we have a small family, right?"
Joey sensed his wife was nervous but he had no idea why. "Yeah, right. And I already have a small family with you, Joanna and Mikey. That makes me the happiest man alive. Why are you asking?"
The blonde bit on her bottom lip and sighed heavily. "Yes but what if I can't fulfill your request having a small family?"
"What are you talking about?" Now Joey was becoming serious. What was his wife on about? She wouldn't want to leave him, would she? They were happy. At least there was no sign telling him otherwise.
"I'm talking about another kid, Joey." Mai stopped dancing and gazed into two brown eyes. "A small family seemed adequate considering that we're not rich but I can't fulfill your request because I'm pregnant."
Joey's jaw literally dropped before he snapped out of his trance and took his wife in his arms, kissing her cheek. He tightened his embrace and kissed her lips before he finally gazed into her violet eyes.
"You are pregnant? That's great!" He had a huge smile plastered on his face. "These are such good news, Mai! I'd love to have another kid with you! But… when? How? I mean, I know how but… when?"
"Calm down, Joey. I'm just sixth week…"
"That must have been the night staying at Kaiba's after Serenity's birthday." The blond snickered and received a slap on his arm.
"You're disgusting, Wheeler. Anyway, I thought you'd freak if I told you."
"Yeah but positively."
"But we will have to move into a bigger apartment and that costs. And then we would need the whole money we've saved for college and…" Mai was worried about their finances.
Joey cut her off with a wink of his hand. "I can always look for another job and maybe a part time job too. And if that's not enough we go and kill Kaiba." He snickered at the thought of his sister becoming the richest widow of the world.
Yugi joined his wife with the kids and gazed down at the rambling group of youngsters. Joanna and Sari were obviously fighting over some toy while Mikey just gazed with two big eyes from his sister to his cousin and back. Yami sat on the ground with a toy all for himself.
"That Joey's kids would fight with Kaiba's someday doesn't surprise me really but hell, they are related." Yugi chuckled and laid his arm around Tea who smiled.
"I'm glad we have such a lovely little boy. He's the smartest from all of them." She grinned. Of course she wouldn't say that in front of the other's kids parents.
"Yeah." Yugi agreed and wrapped from behind both of his arms around his wife's waist. "We should have more from that sort."
"You really think?" Tea said smiling when she laid her hands upon his whilst watching the kids.
"Yes, sure. I mean it." Yugi obviously was serious about it.
Tea just smiled at her husband and kissed his cheek. Her gaze shifted downwards to Yami. Yes, it would be nice having another lovely kid such as him. He had been their joy for the last three years and maybe it would be nice having a little daughter as well.
"Hey Yugi!" Joey came rushing to his friends with a smile and waved like a maniac. "Tea! I'm going to become father!"
"You already are… what's the surprise?" Tea said.
"No, again! Mai's pregnant again!" He babbled when Mai joined them and received a friendly hug from Tea.
"Not another one of that sort of your brats." The voice of Kaiba suddenly sounded from behind and Joey turned to glare at him.
But Serenity was quick enough to cut in. "I'm so happy for you, Joey!" She exclaimed and kissed her brother's cheek before she happily hugged Mai.
The men left the women who started chatting about the news when Yugi suddenly turned to Kaiba. "So Joey and Mai are having another baby and Tea and I think about having one more. What about you Kaiba? Are you and Serenity already done?"
"Definitely." He stated unimpressed- His look darted downwards to the girl in his arms. He had taken Sari with him because her mother was obviously occupied. "One is enough."
Kaiba couldn't help his smile when she gazed up to him with her big blue eyes. In his eyes she was the most beautiful from all of them and the smartest as well, of course. It would have been nice to have a little boy in order to make him the CEO of Kaiba Corporation one day but he could already see the necessary potential in Sari. That was enough. Anyway there could be more kids from Mokuba's side one day.
Sari leant back in her father's arms and laid her head on his chest yawning. The remaining men hadn't missed it and chuckled. That girl was certainly father's pride. Nowhere else she was so lovely than in his arms. At least until her uncle Mokuba arrived with his newly wedded wife. Immediately the little girl's head shot up and gazed at him who held his arms open for her to jump on his lap.
"Hey my little sweet niece." The raven-haired man said and tickled her, which resulted in Sari laughing. "Aren't you gorgeous looking today? A pity I'm married now…" He joked and received a glare from his brother and the bride as well. "Becka, we should hurry and have our own sweet little girl before my brother realized that she likes me more than him."
Rebecca's eyes widened. "Calm down, Mokuba. What's the hurry? Seto certainly won't kill you."
"You never know, Becka. He could do that." He grinned at her and ran a hand through Sari's brown hair. "However, one day you're going to have really cute nieces and nephews, Sari. I promise."
"She already has a cute niece and nephew and there's going to be more." Joey exclaimed but was ignored when Rebecca cut in.
"Nieces and nephews? How many kids do you want to have again?"
"I thought about four or five." Mokuba laughed seeing the shocked face of his wife. "No, I was thinking about one or maybe two. But now right now, Becka. Though we should already practice. There's nothing more important than a good practice if you want to be best."
Rebecca crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. "I bet your brother told you that."
"Mmh." Mokuba smiled and kissed his wife's cheek making the blonde immediately smile. "I love you."
"I love you too."
(A/N: Finally and I mean really finally the end. It's just a bit from the plans I have in mind. The roots so to say… ahem… whatever, I'm finally done. YEAY! Can't tell you how happy I am. Thanks for all the reviews! This story had been my first one longer than thirty pages and I'm kinda proud of it. The plot for the sequel isn't exact in my mind yet but I'll see… THX again, love it.)
