Thank you to all my reviewers!!! You guys are the best! Pretty soon, I will have a reviewer poll on Steven's sentencing. What you guys vote will affect the sequel in some way.

Bakura: ANOTHER ONE???? Haven't you had enough??

Bakurasgirl: Watch it , Bakura or I'll make Steven innocent!

Bakura: You wouldn't dare….

Bakurasgirl: Watch me…

NOTE: Also, sometime this week or next, I may be unable to update for a day. There may be a death in the family. I'll try to give you guys notice if I can't update for a day.

Ryou: *Ryou hugs reviewers * Nevermind Bakurasgirl, guys. She'll be Ok.

Tiamat: Yeah, a mother's love for her children is strong enough to withstand anything. Ryou deserves that priviledge.

Ryou's Mistress: They call Malik 'mom' since he is also in a mother-like role. The babies call them mom and mommy so they (and us) can tell them apart.

Mystical Dragon: The hikaris are stronger than Anubis thinks they are, especially when it comes to the children.

BuffyM: Seto and whipped cream, huh? Hmm..I'll try to fit that in at a birthday party for them or something.

Falling Leaves: Yeah, mmorg is being a pain again. That's why I have it on affnet, too.

Gralnak: Hmm..you might be right.

Ssjgodesschico: Yeah, I heard a few people suggest that and it was a really good idea.

Anon: Don't give me that, Dragondreamer!!!! I knew it was you. Who else uses "DD" and YD"????? Come on! Chibi rack!!! HA HA HA HA!!!!!

Lupusdragon: Aten's a smart kid. He caught on quick, didn't he?

Angel Black: No problem, honey. This fic will still be here for you. Hope everything works out.

Marik stayed with Malik all night. Malik had regained consciousness around sunrise. His face was beaded with sweat and his skin still looked a little red from the burns that Ryou's hands gave him. Malik sat up quickly.

"Marik! Where's Aten? Please say Aten is ok!"

Marik brushed back Malik's blonde hair. "It'll be ok, tenshi. You didn't hurt him that bad."

"Dear, Ra, did I hurt him at all, though?"

"Well, he couldn't breathe afterwards. He held onto me all night. When he fell asleep, I have him to Ryou. Ryou and Bakura have the babies now in their bed. His heart did act up. We had to give him some of his own heart medicine, but afterwards, he fell right asleep."

Malik put his head back on the couch. "I didn't want to hurt him. I tried to fight."

"We know, tenshi. Just relax."

"Mom!"

Malik and Marik looked up to see Aten walking on his own using the stairs as support. Step by step he found his way to the bottom of the stairs. He looked around four years old. He carried his little toy monkey and ran to Malik hugging him. "Mom! Mom, are you hurt? Did A-Na-bi hut you?" Aten planted little chibi kisses on Malik's shoulder.

"No, son, I'm ok. I'm sorry if I hurt you yesterday."

"Daddy hold me! Daddy make bad man go away!" Aten wrapped his arms around Marik's legs. Malik ran his hand through Aten's white and blonde hair when the stairs creaked again with the sound of the little girl climbing down the stairs. Aria jumped off the last step and ran to Malik. "Mom! You hurt?"

"I'm fine. Just a little….ow…sore."

Aria's parents came down the stairs and checked on Malik. The knock on the door sent Bakura and Marik into automatic growling mode. Bakura grabbed his dagger and Marik drew the blade from the Millenium Rod. They opened the door and saw Seto and Joey.

Seto and Joey came over for breakfast that morning. They wanted to check on Malik and to make certain that everything was status quo. Aten and Aria seemed to be much taller than the day before. Both were amazed that the babies had grown so big so fast.

Bakura and Ryou made breakfast for everyone. Marik refused to eat a traditional breakfast and made some pizza for breakfast instead. Aria ate her cereal, periodically throwing Cheerios at Joey's head.

"Puppy like Cheeros!"

Joey growled. "Bakura, you should really teach that kid some manners!"

Bakura chuckled and ran his fingers through his daughter's hair. "Hey, she's only a kid. Let her enjoy it."

"Puppy don't like Cheerios, kid! Ow! That was my eye!"

Aria chuckled clapping her hands. "Puppy funny!"

Joey stood up and walked up to Aria with his fists clenched. "You want a piece of me?"

"Don't be an idiot, Joey. Aria's only a week old."

Aria held out a handful of Cheerios for Joey. "Puppy want?"

Joey sat back down beside Seto. "No, I don't want Cheerios."

"Puppy food!"

Joey rolled his eyes and grabbed the cereal. "If I must."

Aten sat facing his father still sipping a cup. Aten watched Marik bite on a slice of pizza he was having for breakfast tearing it hungrily.

"Why isn't he eating cereal?"

Ryou shrugged his shoulders. "His stomach isn't ready for too much solids. He eats a bottle of puree carrots for breakfast and he eats applesauce for lunch. For dinner, he has some cereal. Aten doesn't really eat too much. He has crackers for snacks, but he can only eat a few."

"Unkie Seto wike pitsa?"

Seto nodded. "Yes. Mmm..Pizza."

"I wike my cawwots and my money!" Aten held onto his toy monkey that he prized. "Where my Wod? Hello? Wod? Daddy? Daddy, where's my Wod?"

Seto chuckled. "I don't think you should ask your father where your Rod is, Aten."

Marik slapped Seto on the back of his head. "He means his toy Rod, you hentai!"

"Entai!" Aten repeated. "Unkie Seto Entai!"

Seto rubbed the back of his head. "I don't think you should repeat that."

Aten chuckled. "I don tink you should peat that."

Seto growled. "Stop it."

"Top it!"

"Why are you repeating everything I say?"

"Ie you petting evieting I tay?"

Marik covered his mouth to stop from laughing. "You know you will never win that battle, moneybags."

"Damn it, stop calling me moneybags!"

"Dam it!" Aten repeated laughing.

Marik snarled. "Don't curse in front of Aten!"

"Unkie Seto funny! Unkie Puppy!"

"What, kid?"

"Dam it!"

Marik turned Aten's face to look at him. "I wouldn't repeat that, son. That isn't a good word."

"Sowwy, daddy." Aten hugged Marik.

Bakura looked through the paper. "We need something to take our minds off of Anubis. As long as we stick together, he won't have a chance against us. You know, Ryou, when you were turned into a baby, I wanted to take you somewhere and I never had the chance. But now, I am going to take our kids."

"So, where is it?"

Bakura showed Ryou an ad. "A petting zoo?"

"It just opened. Aria would love it! Aria, baby? You want to go to a petting zoo? See horsies and goats? And chickies?"

Aria's eyes lit up. "Horsies? Can I wide the horsies??"

Ryou nodded. "We can see what we can do, baby. You want to go?"

Aria jumped up and down excitedly. "Can we??"

"Aten, do you want to go to the petting zoo?"

Aten jumped up and down on his daddy's lap. "I wanna go! I wanna pet an aminal!"

Aten looked at the toy monkey in his hand. "Do they have moneys?"

"I don't know, son. We will have to see."

"I like moneys! Where my Wod go? I bwing my Wod wit me!"

Aten climbed off of Marik's lap and ran around the playpen looking for his toy Millenium Rod. He finally found it and kissed it. "Daddy! Daddy! I found my Wod!

Bakura shook his head from side to side. Like Father like Son.
