His In-laws: The Makezuke Family
                                chapter 8: Secrets Before a Sacrament



“Why do we have to leave so early?” Jonathan scoffed.  Mrs. Makezuke gave a heavy sigh,
“Jonathan,” she looked at him, “Jessica was right.  I think it’s best that we just leave and await the wedding invitation.”
“If we even get one,” Marie rolled her eyes, “thanks to our fat-mouth over here.” Jonathan glared at his elder sibling.  
“Where is Jessica anyway?” Mr. Makezuke wondered, “I understand if Seto left for work but she should be here.  She’s not in her room.”
Mrs. Makezuke looked past one of the front room curtains,
“Seto’s car is still out there.”  She walked to the door, “I’ll catch him before he leaves.” She exited the mansion and completed the short trek from the front porch to Kaiba’s beloved Escalade.
“Seto,” she called as she peered through the driver’s window, “Seto Kaiba?” she tried to look past the dark tint; all she could see was his trench coat.  “funny.” She walked to the back seat to check for a trace of a briefcase; something to signal that at least he was going to work.  
“Seto?” she tapped on the window, “Have you seen my daughter?”  With that statement she heard mumbling from inside the car.
“Hello?”

The window slowly rolled down; a puff of brown hair appeared matched with a set of amber eyes and a red face.  Jessica blinked and then lightly smiled,
“Good morning..mom.”  
Jessica’s mom stood there horrified as she noticed her daughter’s clothes smashed against the seat with a tiny bit of white residue next to them.  Kaiba’s head popped out next as he held Jessica from behind; gently caressing her breasts in his sleepy daze.  His head rested on her shoulder and with a yawn he said, “Morning Mrs. Makezuke,” he smirked, “I found your daughter.”


Jessica sat at the kitchen table in her regular clothes from the night before; Kaiba sat right next to her, caressing her hand gently.
“I don’t get it, Jessica, why now?” Mrs. Makezuke asked with a few tears in her eyes, “I thought you were smarter than that!”
“Mom…”  Jessica started.  She looked at her lover who gave her a nod, “This wasn’t the first time.”  Mrs. Makezuke gawked at her daughter,
“Pardon?” Mrs. Makezuke asked, “ Not the first?”  Jessica flushed and so did Kaiba,
“Yeah, mom; we’ve done that for quiet some time.”  She admitted, “I’m sorry for crossing you; but I assure you one hundred percent that I’m not pregnant.”  Silence filled the conversation,
“Jessica, you have been taught while growing up that sex can wait until marriage, what happened?”
“Well, mom, Seto and I really love each other, and at that moment, we wanted to express our love in a more passionate matter.  It was hard to control, yet I know it was a choice.”  The youngest Makezuke explained.  Mrs. Makezuke looked at her youngest daughter with concern,  
“Jessica, I understand you love Seto, but in reality, what if he did leave you in the dust?  What would you’ve gained?  I know, Seto, that you are better than that, but it concerns me that my own daughter would take that risk and then continue to take that risk over and over.”   Jessica hanged her head in shame; her fiancé attempted to comfort her by rubbing her back; she did not have a reaction.
“Mrs. Makezuke,” he stated, “I realize that Jessica is the world to you and finding out something like this must hurt you.  I am sorry that I pulled Jessica into this position and made you hurt on the inside, yet I assure you that she is my world, and I wouldn’t leave her or hurt her.”  He stared at Mrs. Makezuke with his soft blue eyes that had a very loving and caring expression in them.  Mrs. Makezuke gave into his evil, adorable stare,
“Well, the past cannot be undone.” She sighed, “I’m just glad that you’re happy, Jessica, I’m just concerned is all.  Yet, you are an adult, Jessica, and you should be able to make your own decisions.” She rolled her eyes, “If you want to be with Seto I can’t stop you.”  There was a pause, “Please, just be careful, alright?”
Jessica smiled,
“Thank you.”  
Mrs. Makezuke looked at Kaiba,
“I don’t mind at all that you wish to marry my daughter either.  You are a clean-cut young man anyway, it’s not like she’s putting herself in a bad situation.” She smiled, “It’ll be nice being your mother-in-law, Seto.”  Kaiba gave a slight nod to Jessica’s mother.

The family said their final good-byes to each other and off they went back to Dublin.  Jessica attempted to make peace between her brother and her fiancé: the idea failed completely.   The couple sat in the limousine that would take them back to the mansion.
“So,” Jessica patted down her skirt, “do you like my parents.”  An annoyed look struck Kaiba’s face,
“You’re joking,” he blinked, “please, in the name of God, tell me that you’re joking.”  His fiancée giggled and kissed him tenderly,
“They are far away now, Seto.” She beamed at him, “Now it’s just you, me, and Mokuba again.”
“Let’s make one thing clear,” he pointed out, “if I see your brother act like an ass-wipe on our wedding day; I will leave that altar and personally beat the shit out of him.”
“You think you could take him?” she wondered as her lips touched his cheek, “I mean, you couldn’t even out-drink him.”
“Let’s not.”
“Sorry.”
“Anyway,” he looked back at Jessica, “now that we have that out of the way, we just have our wedding day and life shall move on.”
“yeah.” Jessica looks off to the side, “Seto,”
“Hm?”
“Uhm,” she blushed.  The slight, slight thought of what her mother implied made her think….   children….
“What is it, Jessica?”
“Nothing.” She nuzzled her head into his chest, “You nervous about the wedding, Seto?”
“No.” he leaned his head back, “Not at all.”
