Sacrifices for Family and Love

The Birth

"Have you and Yami started to plan the wedding yet?" Isis asked Yuugi.

Yuugi looked up at Isis and smiled. "We've gotten a few plans done, but not much. We have a long way to go." Yuugi said.

"Well, you do still have six months before you are getting married is there is still time." Isis said.

"There would be more plans already made, but Yami doesn't like to plan these things, so he purposely gets me off track, so that we don't get as much done as I would like to." Yuugi answered.

Isis was going to have hers and Mahado's baby any day now, so she stayed in bed most of the time.

Yuugi would come and spend time with her whenever Mahado had to be in meetings or carry out his duties.

"Just what does Yami do to stop you from getting anything done?" Isis asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Normally, he starts kissing me, and that leads to, well, um-" Yuugi was a little embarrassed to talk about it.

"It usually led to a make-out session." Isis supplied.

Yuugi nodded. "I have honestly thought about just kicking Yami out of my room or whatever room I happen to be in at the time just so I can get more done even if I have to plan it all out myself." Yuugi said.

"Knowing how Yami is, I think that you would be better off if you did that. He hates to have to plan anything like that, so he'll do anything to get out of it." Isis said.

"Yes. I have found that out." Yuugi said with a smile.

"You are planning to get married once the year is up, aren't you? If not, then there's no rush to get the plans ready." Isis said.

"Isis, it's killing Yami that we have to wait a year. Any longer, and I do believe that he would go insane." Yuugi said.

"Once the year's up, you'll be married." Isis said.

"Yes. In fact, I'm sure that the wedding will be a year to the day that he proposed." Yuugi said.

Isis laughed. "It doesn't surprise me." Isis said.

Yuugi decided that she would change the subject. "Are you excited that the baby will be coming soon?" Yuugi asked.

Isis smiled happily. "Yes, I am, and I know that Mahado is, too. He can't wait for the baby to be born." Isis said.

"The entire palace is talking about it. They're all excited and talking about it." Yuugi said.

"I know that I am, and I will also be glad to be able to walk normally again." Isis said with a small laugh.

Yuugi also laughed. "I'm guessing that Mahado doesn't really leave you alone now." Yuugi said.

"Certainly not. He's with me every second unless his duties require him to be elsewhere, but the Pharaoh has let him have lighter duty." Isis said.

"And I suppose that you have no duties now." Yuugi stated.

"No, I don't, and I am bored out of my mind. I hate not being able to do anything. I'm not used to it." Isis said.

"Well, you'll still be having no duties even after the baby is born." Yuugi said.

"To think that the orders of no work for a week after having a baby that I so easily said to other women is something that I dread." Isis said.

"Do you want a boy or a girl, Isis?" Yuugi asked.

"In truth, I don't mind having either one. All I want is for the baby to be healthy. So does Mahado." Isis answered.
