Seto's POV
I pace around in the kitchen, worried for Hope. Ever since she ran off, I've been more stressed than I've ever been. Kisara is worried for me, and so are the kids. "Seto, sweetheart....please come to bed. It's getting late." Kisara said walking up and putting her hand on my shoulder. "I can't, I need to know Hope is ok..." I tell her. "She is ok, but she won't be if she finds out you're not sleeping properly." She told me. I knew she was right. She takes my hand and leads me to the bedroom, laying on the bed. I lay next to her holding her close. "Everything will be ok Seto, I promise." She whispers to me in a calming way. I feel my eyes start to droop. "Goodnight Seto, I love you." I hear her say before I fall asleep.
Joey's POV
I walk back down to the kitchen, seeing Yugi taking care of the cooking for me. "Yug, you didn't have to do that." I tell him, taking his place. "It's no problem Joey, I'm happy to help." He said with a smile. "How's Hope doing?" Tristan asked. "She's doin alright but I'm a bit worried for her. I don't think she's ate anything today, or the days before." I said, worried. "Kaiba is worried for her as well, I could hear it in his voice over the phone." Yugi adds. A knock came on the door. "I got it." I said opening the door. A red haired, green eyed guy was at the door. "Is Hope here? I'm her boyfriend, Jason." He explained. "Yeah, but she's asleep right now. You can come in though, we're having dinner." I told him and let him inside. He was very thin, and had bags under his eyes. "Thank you.." He said sitting on the couch. "Are you hungry? We have plenty of food to go around." Yugi told him. He shook his head no, but his stomach said otherwise. I get him a bowl of spaghetti, which is what I cooked up for tonight, and handed it to him. He dug in instantly. "You really are hungry aren't ya?" I ask him. He nods, handing me the now empty bowl. "Thank you for the food." He said. I put the bowl in the sink and sit next to him. "Why haven't you been eating or sleeping Jason?" I ask. He sighed. "I'm worried for Hope and our daughter. She's scared of Hope and I'm afraid it'll always be that way." He explained. "I lost my appetite and never felt the need to sleep. I want to help, but I don't know how...." I rub his back, knowing how it feels to be worried for the ones that are closest to you. "Is that your daughter?" I ask, seeing the baby in his arms. "Yeah, her name is Anna." He said handing her to me. Anna looked up at me and coos. "What's all the commotion?" Hope asked, walking down the steps. She froze, seeing Jason and Anna. "Jason? What are you doing here?" She asked concerned. "I came here because I'm worried for you." He answered. Anna saw Hope and started to cry. "Hope, try singing to her," I suggested. "It won't work, I've tried." She looked down. "Hope, just trust me." I tell her. She looked at me and nodded before she started to sing a beautiful lullaby. Anna slowly calmed down and looked at her, reaching her arms out to her. She picks her up and gently held her as she continued to sing. Anna cooed at her, giggling a bit. "She was never afraid, she just wanted you to sing to her." I smiled. "My little Anna." She smiled happily, nuzzling her cheek. "She's sang to her before, but it didn't work at the mansion." Jason said shocked. "That's because she wasn't fully awake at the time, now that she is, Anna won't be afraid of her anymore." I explain to him. "Thank you Joey, thank you so much." Hope smiled and hugged me. I hugged back smiling too. "You're very welcome Hope. How about you both stay here tonight? It's dangerous on the streets this late." I said to them and they nodded. Hope led Jason upstairs to the spare bedroom, having Anna in her arms.
