8 Years Later…

3 months to go…

He was panicking when the call came through and Toshiro flinched. He'd already lost so much weight in the last two years and Toshiro was worrying about him. Things had been going smoothly for them for the last 6 months but this call was unwelcome.

'O-okay, so… yes… do… yes… I understand.' Yukio winced and Toshiro watched his husbands eyes filling with tears. He was beside him in an instant.

'Why is Daddy sad?' their daughter Shurui asked. She came padding through in bare feet her eyes on Yukios face and Toshiro leaned forward to kiss his husband before walking to her side and scooping her up into his arms.

'Daddy is just talking to someone on the phone, he'll be okay,' Toshiro said to the small girl.

'Is this about my baby sister?' she frowned up at him and Toshiro smiled and leaned in to kiss her forehead again.

'We don't know if it's a baby girl yet,' he chuckled as he took her towards her room. She wrinkled her nose.

'It better be, boys are smelly.' She huffed and crossed her arms across her chest. He hopped she'd think like that until she was at least 30 years old. Toshiro and Yukio had been talking about having children on the lead up to their wedding and they decided if they were going to do it that they wanted at least one of them to be the biological father. Toshiro wanted Yukio to be the biological father and Yukio wanted Toshiro to be, it had been a long discussion that extended for weeks. Eventually Yukio said they could save up two times over and pay two surrogates, one for himself and one for Toshiro that way they'd have a proper family of them both.

Toshiro had reluctantly agreed, he still thought that his genes were defective, something that had been proven right after the second miscarriage. Toshiro had argued with Yukio, it had been the first time they'd had a proper shouting argument in the 8 years since they'd gotten together. Toshiro said his genes were defective and that they should just accept the fact that they'd never have a child with them. Yukio had been heartbroken and fallen into a serious stage of depression, the first pregnancy failed after a few weeks and the second one had lasted 3 months. The women they'd paid the services for was so heartbroken she couldn't do it again.

The twins; Shurui and Koiyu had been a lovely surprise, they'd only been expecting one and when they were trying to think of mothers, Toshiro had asked Rangiku if she would donate to their cause and she graciously accepted. Toshiro knew he was being selfish, Rangiku was like a sister to him and having a child that was half Rangiku and half Yukio had filled him with such joy. When they found out the surrogate Caitlyn they'd had recommended to them was pregnant with twins, it was a shock and also the happiest day of Toshiros life, other than his wedding day of course.

Caitlyn had been a trooper and was happy to provide them with their two beautiful children. Shurui and Koiyu were non identical for they were female and male, however they looked like they could have been. Shurui had long strawberry blond hair that fell into gorgeous ringlets around her face, framing her large emerald eyes beautifully. Koiyu was a little chubby version of Yukio, he had Rangikus strawberry blond hair but it stuck around his face in wicked spikes and he had the same emerald eyes as his sister. Both children were spoilt for Rangiku had taken up role as cool aunt and she often looked after them, helping when the boys needed time alone.

Yukio had begged Toshiro for one final try and though it was vastly draining their money someone from their youtube community had pulled together and funded the third chance for a child with Toshiros genes. He hadn't been happy but Yukio was over the moon with the kind gesture. Upon hearing about their two miscarriages already Caitlyn had come back and had a meeting with them, she was still healthy enough and offered to give it a chance, stating that this would be her final time as a surrogate as she was now approaching 35 years old. She'd been a surrogate for many gay couples, helping to devote her life to helping them have children, especially celebrity gay couples that lived in California and her services weren't cheap – of course not. She was putting serious stress on her body after all, not to mention the emotional attachment of giving away a baby you've carried for 9 months. Along with Caitlyn coming to their rescue so did Rukia who said she'd donate her eggs as the last two times they'd just gone with donations from a bank. Rukia had said this was why it wasn't working and that they needed her.

So with all these factors in play… how… could it have failed? Toshiro let Shurui run around her room making him a fake cup of tea as he waited patiently.

'Can I have it to go?' he asked and she gave an exasperated sigh before swapping it into a different plastic cup.

'You're a bad customer Papa,' she mumbled as she turned and brought him the cup and he gave her a little kiss on the cheek as a tip. To make things easier he was Papa and Yukio was Daddy. Trying to get 2 two year olds to learn the difference was hard enough so they both took equal shares in divvying up the chores. Toshiro slipped from the room and quickly made his way back downstairs to his husbands' side.

'They're going to call us back once they run some tests,' Yukio said, the tears were already spilling from his eyes. Toshiro knew better than to bring the topic up again so he went about making Yukio a cup of tea. He couldn't understand why they needed another child, they had two beautiful healthy children already but he wouldn't say that to his husband right now as he sat crying. Yukio's dream was to have a tiny little Toshiro as part of their family and in a way he could understand. He was spoilt, he had a little baby Rangiku and a little baby Yukio and he loved them both very much. Yukio did too, they were his babies just as much as Toshiros but he wanted a final one to make their family complete. Having Rukia come forward made this little baby all the more precious.

Six months was far too early for their baby to be born and they both knew it. It would have a very low chance at survival and the costs of medical bills would weigh heavily on them even if they both did pump out daily videos to try and keep the money coming in. He sat the cup of tea down in front of his husband and took his hand as they waited for the doctor to call them back. They sat for a long time not saying anything as Toshiro offered his husband some time to try and calm down. Once he felt it was safe enough he decided to open up the channel of communication.

'Should we go to the hospital to see Caityln?'

'She doesn't want us there until she knows for sure, she's determined she's going to hang on,' Yukio sighed and rubbed away his tears.

'What if we-' the phone rang and Yukio stared at it terrified. Toshiro picked it up and swiped it across, he was scared too but he was being strong for his husband.

'Hello?'

'Is that Mr Toshiro Hitsugaya?'

'Yes, hello Doctor McKenzie,' Toshiro moved away from Yukio a little.

'I have good news Toshiro,' the Doctors tone was elated and instantly Toshiro felt better, 'it was Braxton Hicks.'

'Braxton Hicks!' Toshiro practically shouted and Yukio broke into a fresh wave to tears, throwing his head down into his arms on the counter of their kitchen work top. 'Is Caitlyn okay?'

'Yes we've given her something for the pain but she'll be fine, we want to keep her overnight to make sure it doesn't cause actually contractions is that alright?'

Caitlyn was covered by their medical insurance that they'd taken out and they'd both said anything she needed she would get.

'Absolutely, please do keep her over night, tell her when she's feeling better to call us we'd like to come and see her personally ourselves.'

They'd built up quite the relationship with the woman and they respected her greatly for what she was doing for the gay community. She was a massive LGBT supporter and her son was also gay and very proud of his mothers work. They didn't ever want her to feel like she wasn't part of their family.

'I will pass that message along and I will keep you notified of any change of condition, I will speak to you later Toshiro.'

'Bye,' they were almost on first name basis with their Doctor now, he was a lovely man and had delivered hundreds of babies in his career. No one knew babies and foetuses like he did.

'Babe, it's fine, everything is okay,' he smiled as he went over and hugged his husband.

The family were on edge right now and Yukio had been doing well the last couple of months, this would be a huge shake to his confidence but Toshiro was determined to cheer him up.

'C'mon, we promised the Yukies and Shiros a live stream while we decorated remember?' he rubbed his husbands back and he nodded standing up and shaking himself.

'Yes we did, let's not tell them about this.' He shook his head, 'I'll go and pour some cold water over my head and meet you there.'

'I'll set up,' he smiled to him.

The Yukies and Shiros had been amazing, they were just as involved in their family as their own children. Because they'd been helping to support their family they'd come up with the amazing idea of doing a live stream every time they went to decorate the new babies bedroom. With the twins they'd known early on that it was going to be a boy and a girl, so they'd been able to decorate the rooms in traditional pink and blue. With this baby they'd decided to not reveal the gender until birth so the room was being painted in creams and beiges. They'd been sent SO many clothing to their PO BOX. Custom made blankets, teddy bears, clothing and boots. Everything they could possibly need and they had to ask people to stop sending things because they literally had too much. The fans wanted to be involved and so the boys were allowing them to pick out baby names for this baby, though they'd get the final say in the name.

The decorating had helped to take Yukios mind off things.

1 month to go…

'Papa?' the small voice called and Toshiro groaned and rolled over in the bed. 'Papa I'm scared.'

'He's your son,' Toshiro hissed to Yukio who chuckled and shook his head.

'I am not the one indulging him to keep waking up at this time.' Yukio chuckled back at him and Toshiro sighed. He opened his eyes and glanced over at their bedroom door where a small figure stood illuminated by the light of the hallway they left on at night to 'chase away the monsters.'

'I'm coming,' he slipped out of bed and stretched and made his way over to the door. He acted like this bothered him but the truth was he relished these moments, he loved being the one his son called at night and he loved getting to hug the little 2 year old back to sleep.

'Come on Koiyu,' he chuckled as he pulled the boy up into his arms and fixed his pyjama top. He carried him through to the kitchen. Every couple of nights Koiyu would come through and need a warm bottle to go back to sleep. Toshiro knew he should be well out of this habit by now but he couldn't help it, he didn't want his little baby growing up. It had broke his heart and he'd cried when Shurui had slept through her first full night. Once the bottle was made up he handed it to the toddler to hold while he carried him back to his bedroom and sat on an old rocking chair in the corner. The toddler smiled up at him and Toshiro cuddled him in against his bare chest as he took the bottle hungrily. Despite the fact that Yukio said he'd never be like that with them Toshiro just knew… that once their next child came along he'd change his mind. He cradled the tiny child in his arms, watching tenderly as his large emerald eyes started to haze over and he suckled less on the bottle.

Toshiro kept his head cradled between his arm and his chest as he held the bottle with his left hand. Sometimes the toddler would want to use his own hands to hold the bottle and other times he'd allow himself to be coddled entirely by his Papa. Tonight he was accepting the coddling. Toshiro watched as his precious son stopped suckling altogether and pulled the bottle away to sit on the dresser beside them. He took the time to trace a finger down his sons face, he had a tiny little nose that obviously came from Yukio and two plump pink lips that were entirely Rangiku. Soon the tiny human went completely limp in his arms and Toshiro snuggled him in a little longer than necessary. He ran his hands through those gorgeous strawberry spikes and smiled at how lucky he was. Koiyu was named because Toshiro just loved Yukio so much that he'd simply taken the letters of his name and muddled them up a little. He often got called Koi for short but Toshiro insisted on calling him by his full name. With a sigh Toshiro stood up and carried the little toddler over to his bed tucking him into the covers, he wasn't sure how long he'd be able to have this chance before the boy was grown up and breaking hearts. Because he was going to be a little heartbreaker, Toshiro was sure of it.

He stood up and made his way back through to his bedroom and climbed back into bed, Yukio was already out like a light and snoring gently beside him. Toshiro didn't mind the noise it meant that his husband was asleep which was something he hadn't gotten much of in the first few months of this pregnancy. Toshiro glanced at his husbands phone that was perched on the bedside table close to him. He kept it on every night, it was a crappy cheap little phone they'd gotten for the hospital and for Caitlyn so that they could leave it on through the night and not be woken every 2 seconds with twitter notifications, facebook notifications etc.

The phone hadn't made a single noise and they were coming into the home stretch, soon they'd both be fathers again and for the last time they'd decided. Three children were enough.

XxXxX

5 Days to go... wait…

'You know, we've not snuggled for a while,' he cooed in his hear. Toshiro rolled his eyes but otherwise grinned as the felt his husbands arm slink around his waist and pull him flush against his chest in bed.

'I'm trying to watch this documentary,' he said.

'You said that the other night…' his husbands hand was grazing up his bare chest and running suggestively over his nipple.

'And you still had sex with me anyway,' Toshiro was still trying to sound annoyed but he loved playing hard to get.

'Well I-' then the sound of a phone interrupted them. They both froze and Yukio was away from his side in a heartbeat. Toshiro scrambled to his feet out of bed and turned quickly to see his husband answering the phone.

'Hello?' he answered and locked eyes with Toshiro. His heart was thudding in his throat. His husbands' eyes went wide and his mouth fell open. 'Okay, yes we'll be right there.' As soon as he said it Toshiro sprung into action, pulling his jeans and a pair of his husbands from the floor to toss onto the bed. He pulled his on as Yukio hung up reaching for the jeans and jumped out of bed.

'Oh my god,' he whispered.

'Is everything okay?'

'Yes, she's in labour, she's already dilated to 8cm,' he yanked his jeans on backwards and fell back on the bed to fix them.

'Oh shit, the baby will be here soon,' Toshiro felt like his whole chest was about to explode. 'Rangiku! Rukia!' he ran through to the living room where they kept their phones and pulled his off the table. He called Rangiku straight away and she picked up on the 5th ring.

'Rangiku it's time!'

'Just now?' she sounded shocked but excited.

'Yes, is Rukia there?'

'Hold on I'm just going to get her, RUKIA!' Toshiro pulled the phone away from his ear and put it back when he thought it was safe to hear Rukia being roused from her sleep. Toshiro looked at the clock it was just after 11pm.

'Alright, I'll catch you guys at the hospital alright?' once Rangiku had agreed and promised to call Ichigo and Renji, Toshiro ran back to their room as his fully clothed husband came out.

'I'll get the kids you get dressed,' he instructed and Toshiro ran back in, hand on his phone as he quickly threw a top on and socks then pulled his shoes on and managed some deodorant before he left the room.

Yukio came down the stairs with a very sleepy Koiyu in his arms and a sleepy but excited looking Shurui.

'Is my sister coming?' she asked with a sleepy yawn and Toshiro chuckled as he took her hand.

'Sweetie it could be a little boy, wouldn't you be excited with a baby brother too?' he asked as she sighed and rolled her eyes.

'I guess, as long as he had hair like yours Papa,' she ran her hands through Toshiros snowy locks and he leaned in and gave her a big hug, pulling her into his arms as he did so and stood up.

'I've got the bag,' Yukio said his voice a few octaves higher than normal. The bag had been packed for the last few weeks and ready for them to take at any point. It had a change of clothes for the kids, more training nappys in case of any accidents, money and charger cables.

'I've got the keys!' Toshiro grabbed them off the counter and they were both walking outside towards the car when Toshiro grabbed Yukios arm and stopped him. 'Hey,' he smiled as his husbands eyes fell on him. 'We're having a baby.' His eyes lit up and instantly were glazing over with warmth.

'Yeah we are,' he leaned forward and kissed Toshiro on the lips.

'Ewwwwww,' Shurui giggled, 'don't do that.'

'Why not?' Toshiro chuckled as he leaned over to kiss Shurui, 'I kiss you all the time.'

'Yes but I'm a baby you're allowed to kiss me, you're my Papa!' she nuzzled into his neck as he opened the car door and he laughed as he leaned into put her into her car seat.

'Well I love your Daddy and to show him that I kiss him,' he kissed her forehead and strapped her in as he slipped into the passenger seat. The drive to the hospital felt like a lifetime and though Shurui was awake the entire way singing her own little song in the back of the car as Koiyu slept soundly only snoring a little.

'He gets that from you,' Toshiro smirked down at his phone as he sent out a tweet. Yukio had given him his phone too to tweet from so that all their followers would be aware of what was happening. Instantly the tweets started flooding in and people from all over the world were freaking out.

'What's everyone saying?' Yukio asked grinning but otherwise kept his eyes on the road.

'Baby names it seems,' Toshiro chuckled, 'and people just congratulating us, asking for pictures and updates,' he smiled as he locked the phones and looked up as they turned a corner just a few streets away from the hospital.

'Daddy can I hold the baby when he's here?' Shurui asked excitedly bobbing up and down in her seat as Toshiro glanced over his shoulder towards her.

'Of course you can sweetie,' Yukio reasoned.

'What happened to it being a baby sister?' Toshiro asked, now rather amused.

'Well I like the thought of a baby brother now because I can teach him not to be smelly like other boys.'

'That's right, other boys are smelly and let me tell you, they'll be smelly right up until you're 30.'

'Okay Papa,' she chimed as she looked out the window again.

Toshiro and Yukio chattered away about baby names until they pulled into the hospital parking lot. Toshiro opened the door and pulled Koiyu up into his arms as Shurui bounded beside them in her white bunny pyjamas and her shoes.

'Daddy will the baby be really small? Because Papa is small?'

'There's a good chance she or he might,' Yukio chuckled and Toshiro scowled. Hugging his son closer to his chest to comfort himself, 'I'm not small.' He hissed back at them.

'No you're just vertically challenged,' Yukio chuckled. Toshiro stormed off into the hospital ahead of them. Because Ichigo and Renji lived right by the hospital they were the first people the boys saw as they walked into the delivery ward.

'Uncle Renji! Uncle Ichi!' Shurui called running to them and being scooped up by Ichigo to snuggled her in. Toshiro was surprised Ichigo wasn't a father yet, he was born to be one and he knew that Renji was scared of having a child because of the commitment but he seemed to be coming around. Renji had gotten really good with Shurui and Koiyu over the last couple of years and now it seemed to be only a matter of time for the two boys. Yukio and Ichigo were still amazing friends and often Ichigo complained that he wanted a child but he wouldn't push Renji until he was ready.

'Hey, are you two alright?' Renji asked looking almost nervous for them.

'Are you kidding, I'm terrified,' Yukio chuckled, 'but excited, we've been waiting years for this,' Yukio replied. Toshiro hugged Koiyu into his chest as they glanced around, the unit was empty but a passing nurse caught sight of them and Yukio went over to speak with her as Toshiro heard another door open. He turned and saw Rukia and Rangiku bounding into the ward. They'd both clearly dressed in a rush and Rangikus hair was still wet from a shower as she grinned at them.

'Aunty Ran! Aunty Rukia!' Shurui called grinning over to them, 'our whole family is here now.' She giggled and Toshiro smiled as Yukio came back over.

'She's gone in to delivery twenty minutes ago,' he said, his voice carrying an air of disbelief.

'Already?' Toshiro asked rather shocked.

'Yeah apparently if you've had a lot of kids before they can come faster because your body is used to it,' he ran a hand through his hair and held out his arms for Koiyu. He needed something to take his mind of things. Toshiro handed the sleeping boy over who didn't stir at all during the process and lay limp in his father arms, his head resting against his shoulder and his arms hanging at his sides.

'We probably won't be waiting long then,' Toshiro sighed running a hand through his own hair, a habit he picked up from his husband.

'You'll want to stay here though until you can see the baby and it might still be a while yet,' Ichigo said, 'why don't we take the kids back to ours? They can sleep there and you won't have to worry about them.'

'It's a good idea,' Yukio said nodding his head. 'It's not fair to keep them in the hospital with us because it could be a few hours.'

'You trust us with your kids for that long?' Renji looked sceptical and Toshiro smirked at the giant crimson man.

'We trust Ichigo with our kids for that long,' he chuckled and Renji just pulled a face at them.

'Yeah, Renji, consider it practice,' Yukio smirked at him and he scowled.

'Where'd Rukia go?' Toshiro asked whipping around to realise the small girl wasn't there anymore.

'Away to get coffees from the machine down the hall,' Rangiku smiled.

'Here,' Toshiro took the bag from Yukio and pulled their charger cables out and put them in their pocket along with the money before handing the bag over. 'This has a change of clothes, two packets of cheetos, some nappys and baby wipes.' Renji took the bag and looked at it like Toshiro had simply handed him a dead baby.

'Thanks,' Ichigo chuckled as Renji hoisted the bag onto his back.

'Papa can't we stay?' Shurui asked looking a bit forlorn.

'No sweetie, you need your sleep.' Toshiro walked around the side of Ichigo and took her hand in his, giving it a little comforting wiggle. She smiled down at the joined hands and nodded her head looking over at her sleeping brother who was still out cold in her fathers arms.

'Okay Papa, but I am not sleepy because I am excited,' she said, her body betraying her with a large yawn which she ignored. The adults all laughed at her and she looked around like she hadn't realised what was so funny.

'Alright then,' Ichigo gave her a big hug and bent to put her down. 'Since you're so excited can you walk beside uncle Renji and take his hand? I'll carry your brother.' Ichigo held out his hands but Yukio seemed reluctant to hand the sleeping child over.

'Come on Yukio,' Toshiro smirked at him, 'you'll have another one to snuggle soon.' His husbands' eyes lit up for a moment as he handed Koiyu over to Ichigo. The boy didn't stir at all but his mouth did open and he began snoring lightly.

'If you need us at all, just call us.' Toshiro smiled at Ichigo who rolled his eyes.

'They'll be fine, they can sleep in the bed between us,' he said it with a smirk and Renji looked like he'd just offered to bring an eel into their bed.

'Alright,' Toshiro laughed as the two boys walked away. Even though it was Ichigo and Renji it still hurt to see their children going away. Toshiro watched them and waved to Shurui when she turned around at the end of the hall before they went through the door.

Rangiku had already made herself at home and sat down in one of the more comfortable looking seats as she sat reading one of the trashy magazines. Toshiro knew that Yukio wouldn't sit down so he went to join his friend as Rukia came back in carrying a tray and several coffees on it.

'Where did you get the tray?' Toshiro asked with mild surprise and she just grinned mischievously at him.

'May have stolen it from a sleeping patients room.' She muttered and Toshiro sighed.

'I really hope our child doesn't take that after you,' he shook his head and Rukia rolled her eyes.

'Why? It'd make them much more fun.'

'Hey! I'm fun,' Toshiro frowned and glanced at Yukio. Surely his husband would stand up for him? 'Right babe?'

'Ehhh… you're a bit of a goodie goodie Tosh,' he smirked back down at him as he paced around. Stopping for a moment to join in with the banter as Toshiro scoffed.

'No blowjobs for you for a week.' He narrowed his eyes and Yukio only smirked wider.

'Don't think we'll have that much time anyway, not with a new baby.' His blond husband replied and Toshiro paused to consider this, tilting his head to the side and smiling. It was true, when the twins had come along they hadn't gotten any sleep for months and months. They were taking naps with the twins during the day when they went to sleep just so they could squeeze in an extra couple of hours. It was a good thing their jobs were flexible that way.

'I'm really happy for you two,' Rukia smirked at them, 'and glad I could help in some small way.'

'I think you were right Rukia, your DNA combined with the amazing force of life that is Caitlyn has definitely helped us.' Yukio walked over and before she knew what was happening Rukia had been picked up and squeezed into a massive hug. Toshiro laughed as he sat forward and took his cup of tea drinking it quickly and feeling the caffeine help ease his nerves and exhaustion.

It felt like hours were passing slowly, Rukia had pushed two chairs together and was attempting to sleep on them. Rangiku had moved from one trashy magazine to another and would gasp and read out useless things about celebrities that neither he nor his husband really cared about. Yukio was wearing a round circle slowly into the floor as he continued his pacing and Toshiro had pulled his phone back out answering and responding to tweets.

'What are the favourite names on the poll?' Yukio asked after about 40 more minutes of pacing.

'Well,' Toshiro came out and went to their facebook page where they were hosting the poll from. They were allowing people to add names and vote up and vote down, they had agreed to take the top ten names and decide between them what name would suit. There was one for girls names and one for boys and they planned on taking the top five from each. 'Girls are; Himari, Akari, Sana, Kanna and Yui which I really like.' He grinned and glance up at Yukio who shook his head.

'No, not another name close to mine, I veto Yui if it's a girl but I really like Akari,' he was thoughtful for a while. 'Why did they pick that one?' Toshiro glanced down and read through the comments.

'It comes from the words of "red" and "cold" he tilted his head curiously to the side and Yukio made a thoughtful face.

'And the male names?' he asked and Toshiro jumped back to the facebook page to check them.

'Are; Itsuki, Sora, Tensai, Kaito and Riku,' none of these names were really standing out to Toshiro but Yukio seemed pleased with them. He walked over and opened his mouth to speak when they heard a very familiar voice calling them from down the hall.

'Mr and Mr Hitsugaya,' they both turned and Toshiro grinned euphorically as the handsome doctor made his way over to them. He looked like he hadn't had a chance to shave in a while and the two boys knew that the man was pretty much married to his job so his rugged appearance never concerned them.

'Call us Toshiro and Yukio,' Toshiro said for umpteenth time. He simply grinned at them.

'Good news, a healthy baby was delivered at 4.5lbs today at 2:15 am,' he continued to grin at them.

'And the gender?' Yukio asked his eyes alight and shining once again.

'Will be revealed to you when you meet them,' Doctor McKenzie smirked at him and checked a chart in his hand. Toshiro was a little worried about the weight, when the twins had been born they'd both been over 5.5lbs and they were twins.

'The babies weight…' Toshiro started and the Doctor held up his hand to stop him.

'Please don't worry Toshiro, I have both you and Rukia's medical information and I've reviewed it, you were born at 4.8lbs and she was born at 4.6lbs so the childs weight does not concern us.' He smiled, 'besides we've done all our tests. Caitlyn is resting just now, but she'll see you when she wakes up. The nurses have taken the baby away to clean the baby up and double check everything is alright then you can go and meet the baby.' He was grinning, he was being very careful with how he was wording things, so as to not slip up and let a gender out.

'Alright,' Yukio was bobbing nervously on the balls of his feet. 'Can't you even just give us a little clue?' Yukio asked.

'If I give you a clue I'd be as well telling you the gender,' the Doctor rolled his eyes playfully and closed over his file. 'Anyway I am going to go and have a cup of tea, if you need me you know where my office is.' He smiled at them and gave a little wave to Rukia and Rangiku before making his way down the hall.

'Okay bets, it's going to be a boy,' Rukia smirked and Rangiku rolled her eyes.

'I say a girl, what do you two think?' Rangiku turned to them.

'I don't care, as long as it's healthy,' Yukio was smiling and Toshiro shrugged his shoulders. He didn't voice it but now wanted a little girl so he could name her Yui.

'Okay well I'm sure you'll be telling us when we can meet her,' Rangiku smirked at Rukia who stuck out her tongue. 'So I'm going to go to the 24/7 wallmart and get some food, want anything?' Toshiro and Yukio gave their order and Rukia went off with her the two speaking heatedly about the gender.

'Oh and don't you dare tweet out the babies gender before we get to meet them first,' Rukia frowned over her shoulder.

'Wouldn't dream of it,' Toshiro smirked but he did tweet out that the baby had been delivered and the weight and that they were waiting to meet it.

'Okay I say we hold off on picking our favourite name until we meet the baby.' Yukio smirked and Toshiro agreed. It was only around twenty minutes later that Doctor McKenzie was walking back down towards them.

'You'll need to go and save your baby,' he rolled his eyes dramatically, 'apparently it's too cute none of the nurses want to put it down. They're in the Nursery.' He pointed them down the hall.

'See when Rangiku and Rukia come back would you tell them to meet us in the Nursery waiting room?' Toshiro asked and he nodded at them then shooed them off to go and 'save' their child. The two fathers walked briskly… okay so they ran through the empty lobby and towards the Nursery. Toshiro felt giddy, excited he hadn't felt like this since the twins were born and he knew his husband was feeling it ten times over after all the loses they'd suffered through now. He made a mental note to visit Caitlyn as soon as he could as well and take her a big bouquet of flowers. They slowed their pace when they got to the Nursery and pressed the intercom button that was there for security. A member of staff came towards the door grinning through the glass towards them and they waved. They recognised her, she was called Rachel and she worked very closely with Dr McKenzie.

'Hello you two, come on in.' She was whispering but smiling like a maniac, 'follow me.' She gave a little nod of her head once Yukio had ensured that the door was fully closed. They followed her through the hallway, they could hear the sound of some babies crying throughout the ward but they still kept their voices down as they spoke.

'What gender is-'

'I've been given strict instructions not to say until you meet them,' she grinned back at them and Toshiro chuckled. Yukio was just desperate to know as they made their way into a room where three nurses were crowded around one of the see through plastic containers that held a small body. The three women nurses were all talking excitedly and one of them had her hand inside the plastic cot. They looked up when the boys walked in and they took a step back almost reluctantly.

'He's gorgeous,' one of them sighed dramatically and Rachel chased them off.

'He!' Yukio hissed at him, his hand gripping Toshiros arm with such force he was sure he was going bruise and they quickly made their way over. When they both glanced down, Toshiro took in a sharp breath and he heard Yukio do the same.

A new born baby shouldn't be this aware. Yet there he was laying in the blankets almost glaring at them with wide teal eyes. As if wondering where the hell they'd been.

'Can I pick him up?' Yukio asked as Rachel walked back towards them.

'Of course you can,' she smiled and Yukio reached down to scoop the baby up into arms.

Toshiro had never seen this look on Yukios face before, it was very close to the look he'd given Toshiro when they were saying their vows on their wedding day. Perhaps it was the same look that Toshiro had on his face the day the twins were born. It was eager, greedy, loving, and possessive; it was everything a new fathers' face should be. Toshiro relished in it as he glanced back at their son in his husbands arms.

'He's perfect,' Yukio hissed, turning to give Toshiro a quick kiss on the lips. It was fleeting before they broke apart to gaze at the newest member of their family. He was watching them intently as if wondering what they'd just done when Yukio swooped down and gave him a kiss on his forehead then on his nose then his cheek. When Toshiros blond husband pulled away the baby was scowling again and Toshiro laughed.

'He doesn't like that,' he chuckled.

'He better get used to it,' Yukio smirked, not the least bit bothered. Yukio reached up to slip the top of the sheet down off his head and they were both greeted the sight of hair so fair it was most certainly going to be white. Toshiro sighed, he'd hoped at least some of the child would take on Rukias more usual aspects instead of his unusual ones.

'Have you picked a name yet?' Rachel was grinning at them, 'you can register him before you leave tonight.'

'We can take him home so soon?' Toshiro asked, a little shocked but excited. It had been a few days before they'd been able to take the twins home. Then again Koiyu had been born with some minor lung problems, the doctors said he'd likely need an inhaler when he was older.

'Yes,' she nodded, 'he's perfectly healthy. He sat completely still during all our checks and he only cried a little bit when we did his blood test.' She was practically cooing herself as she stared at him. 'Other than this he's good to go.'

'Alright thank you,' Toshiro smiled and watched Yukio cuddling the bundle of blankets in.

'We've put a newborn nappy on him, but he's only got the blanket and that's it you might need to change him before you leave.'

'We expected to be here a couple of days so we didn't bring anything,' Yukio said and Toshiro shook his head.

'Don't worry I can nip back and pick stuff-'

'Oh you can borrow that blanket if you want and just return it in the next couple of days,' Rachel waved them off. 'It's no bother at all.'

'Thanks Rachel,' Toshiro grinned and she walked away to give the new family time alone.

'I wonder if he's slept at all. It doesn't look or sound like it.' Toshiro frowned and glanced at Yukio who wouldn't look at him at all. Their son made a little noise at the back of his throat and closed his large teal eyes over. Both Toshiro and Yukio froze.

'That's a coincidence.' Toshiro said straight away.

'No it's not, our sons a genius.' Yukio hissed turning to him and snuggling his head down towards the newborns face.

'Have we picked a name yet?' Toshiro rolled his eyes and copied Rachels question as he pulled out his phone.

'I really liked the one beginning with T, it reminded me of yours what was it again?' Yukio asked glancing down at Toshiros screen.

'Tensai?' Toshiro asked.

'Yeah what does it mean?' he asked and Toshiro sighed when he brought up the explanation. Hearing Yukio almost squeal in excitement behind him, he quickly hushed his husband.

'Prodigy? Oh my, that's it I want that name.' Yukio grinned and Toshiro succumbed to his large green puppy eyes.

'Since I got to name the twins,' he sighed in defeat, 'I will let you pick that name.'

'Little Tensai Hitsugaya,' Yukio smirked, 'our little prodigy.' His eyes were shining again, 'our family is complete.'

'Yeah it is,' they both watched their new son sleep in Yukios arms and Toshiro began to wonder if he'd ever get a chance to hold him.

'Can I hold him now?'

'He just went to sleep.' Yukio pouted and Toshiro rolled his eyes, 'I won't wake him. I'm not an elephant.'

'Alright,' Yukio reluctantly handed the child over and Toshiro took him into his arms. He weighed nothing and slept soundly. His mouth falling open slightly and his pale pink lips standing out in stark contrast to his pale skin, he had thick black eyelashes.

Soon one of the nurses approached them to tell them that Rangiku and Rukia were waiting outside. They asked if they could take the baby and the nurses agreed.

'Just make sure you register him before you leave,' Rachel said and Toshiro nodded. They walked outside with the newborn in Toshiros arms and Rukia and Rangiku hissed excitedly as they made their way over.

'Well?' Rukia asked.

'A boy,' Yukio grinned and both girls squealed and started talking in excited voices. Toshiro felt the baby stir in his arms and soon his large teal eyes were opening and they just squealed even more.

'He's so fucking gorgeous,' Rangiku hissed and Toshiro frowned at her.

'Don't swear in front of him,' Toshiro reprimanded her and she rolled her eyes.

'He doesn't know what I'm saying.'

'Don't be so sure,' Yukio laughed and they glanced down to see Tensai glaring at them.

'Okay maybe he does,' they all had a chuckle and Tensai was passed from arms to arms as they spoke. He started to get a little upset and made noises of impatience at the back of his throat. Yukio took him back into his arms and the boy fell back asleep once they all lowered their voices.

'So you guys are taking him home right now?' Rangiku asked and they both nodded.

'Yup, we'll have Renji and Ichigo bring the twins over in the morning when they wake up.'

The girls walked them to the reception desk where they filled out the necessary paperwork to register the newest family member then they took a picture to show the world and within the time it took them to drive back home the image had been retweeted over 80,000 times. The name was heavily praised and everyone had welcomed the baby into their wider family as if he were their own son.

18 months later…

'NO DADDY!' Toshiro glanced up towards the living room door where he could hear the distinct sound of tiny bare feet padding against the floor and before he knew it his youngest son had come running into the living room heading straight for the couch. His large teal eyes wide with fright and his hair in messy white spikes.

'You need to put your pants on,' Yukio laughed chasing him into the living room as Tensai climbed onto the couch on his belly before turning around to face his father.

'No I don't,' he giggled as Yukio came towards him holding out a pair of blue pants.

'Do you want me to put a diaper on you instead?' he asked and Tensai shook his head, he stood up, his back leaning against the back of the couch as he ran across it towards Toshiro. He was wearing one of his baby vests that was unbuttoned at the bottom dangling down over his bare bum and chubby thighs.

'Papa save me,' he chuckled as Yukio made a dramatic lunge for him and pretended to miss. Toshiro caught the baby as he ran into him and put a hand up to Yukio.

'Now why would Daddy want you to wear pants?'

'Because no one wants to see his bum,' Yukio made a face at him and Tensai pouted.

'But you say you love Papas bum, I've heard you at night-'

'And the pants are going on.' Toshiro laughed, feeling his face heat up as he lifted the toddler up and held him for Yukio who laughed hysterically before taking the squirming lad from Toshiros arms.

'No Papa! You betwade me,' he called desperately.

'Tensai you're 18 months old, you shouldn't know the word betrayed let alone be able to use it in a sentence.' Toshiro sighed, he sometimes worried that his son would turn out too much like himself. Everyday there was more and more evidence for it and Yukio kissed his head, his eyes flashing as if to scold him. They'd spoken about this a lot and just because Toshiro had struggled to make friends did not mean he should assume it would be the same for their son. Yukio had reminded him several times that Tensai was growing up with siblings that would teach him social skills that Toshiro never got to learn and true enough Tensai was a lot more open and friendly than he had been as a child.

'No more kisses,' he scowled at Yukio leaned in to try and kiss him. His lips were met with a sweaty baby foot that stopped him but Yukio just pretended to gobble the foot up causing Tensai to squirm and giggle. He was already potty trained, meanwhile Koiyu was still having accidents.

'Time for bed,' Yukio laughed once he wrestled the pants onto the boy he threw him up into the air and caught him while he cackled madly. 'Say goodnight to Papa,' Yukio laughed bringing him around like an aeroplane so Toshiro could lean forward and kiss his head.

'Goodnight Papa,' he giggled and then Koiyu was coming into the room.

'Papa are you going to tuck me in?' he asked sheepishly and Toshiro smiled at him.

'Of course I am son, I'll be right there.'

'Not if me and Tensai get you first,' Yukio laughed as the baby prodigy giggled and Koiyu quickly scampered from the room being chased down by his baby brother and his dad.

34 months later…

After Tensai was born Toshiro thought he'd never ever see his husband cry again. He was wrong.

'I am excited Daddy,' he called excitedly as they pulled up outside the massive building. The windows looked inviting, there were large apples and bunnies and flowers painted in the windows and Tensai was squirming as he was pulled from the car by Yukio.

'Does he have to go just now?' Yukio hissed in Toshiros ear. 'He can go next year?'

'We've been over this,' Toshiro sighed a little exasperated. 'The earlier he comes into contact with other children the better his chances will be to not grow up alone like me.' Yukio couldn't dispute his logic but it was breaking Toshiros heart to see the blond looking so sad.

'I wanna carry it Papa,' Tensai held up a chubby hand for his backpack and Toshiro slid it onto his back. He technically didn't need one, but he'd wanted it and Yukio just bent at the knees for anything he wanted.

'Now Tensai are you sure you're ready?'

'Yes Daddy,' he rolled his large teal eyes, 'I will be fine.'

They made their way up to the nursery and opened the front doors. A lovely woman with long curly hair greeted them enthusiastically.

'Hello there, you must be Mr and Mr Histugaya and this must be Tensai,' she cooed, melting like everyone else when she saw him. 'I'm Tracey.'

'Hello Tracey,' Toshiro smiled warmly shaking her hand before she turned to Yukio.

'Alright Tensai you be good,' Toshiro said giving the tiny prodigy a high five.

Yukio bent down to his knees and held out his arms and Tensai – reluctantly – walked into the embrace knowing full well how affectionate his dad could be. Yukio nuzzled him in as he squirmed to get free and turned his head for a kiss but Tensai tried to push him away and squirmed from his grip. Yukio let him go, looking so heartbroken it literally hurt Toshiro.

'I love you,' Yukio called to him and Tensai scowled a little.

'I know,' he mumbled back and Tracey lowered herself down to his eye level.

'Hello Tensai, I'm Tracey,' she smiled and he grinned at her. 'Are you not going to tell your Dad that you love him?'

'He knows I do,' he shrugged his tiny shoulders.

'You know Tensai, I've been doing my job… for a lot of years,' she smiled pleasantly at him, casually lifting the bag that had fallen from his shoulders. 'And I've seen some boys and girls come in here whose mother and fathers didn't love them.'

'They didn't?' Tensai's eyes went wide and he frowned.

'No, they didn't, sometimes they'd get left here alone because they didn't.' She sighed and Tensai's large eyes started shining with tears. He quickly turned back around to Yukio and threw himself at him.

'I'm sorry Daddy,' he cried into his arms, and Yukio hugged him tightly with a soft smile. 'I do love you Daddy, I just don't love it when you kiss me all the time.' He called into his arms.

'I love you too Tensai, more than you'll ever know.' He sighed into his sons shoulder and the two stayed like that for a while before they broke apart.

'One kiss,' Tensai said, frowning a little, 'only on the head.' Yukio grinned at him and did that, letting his lips linger a little on his forehead before pulling back. Tensai quickly scampered back over to Tracey.

'What a good boy you are,' she smiled at him, 'don't you feel better?'

'Yes,' he nodded his head.

'You ready to get some learning done?' she asked and he smirked at her.

'I already know the entire alphabet and I can write my name neater than my Daddy can.' He crossed his little arms across his chest and Tracey laughed at him.

'Alright then, can you help me teach everyone else?'

'Yes,' he smiled broadly, 'I help my brother with his kindergarten home work all the time.'

'Alright then,' she let him run inside and turned back towards them. 'He'll do well, you've done a really good job raising him. Are you okay?' she asked and Toshiro turned to see Yukio literally crying.

'We're fine,' Toshiro bit his bottom lip to stop himself from laughing.

'First time separation can be hard a lot of the parents go through it, he'll only be here a couple of hours and then he'll be back with you.' She smiled reassuringly at Yukio and moved away to greet more parents who were arriving. Toshiro quickly led his husband away from the scene and once the fresh air hit him he was positively wailing.

'Relax Yukio,' Toshiro chuckled rubbing his back as they walked back towards the car. 'He's going to be fine.'

'N-No he isn't b-because,' Yukio tried to take a deep breath to steady himself. 'Because he's growing up.'

'They all are,' Toshiro pointed out as they sat in the front seats. Yukio rolled down a window to allow the air to circulate a little. 'They're going to grow up and get boyfriends and girlfriends, they're going to get jobs and go through heartbreak and have kids of their own.' He was tracing Yukios arm with his finger tips. 'All we can do is be there for them if they need us and try and provide for them the best we can.'

'You're right,' he sighed after a while. 'As much as it pains me to admit it.' Yukio was suffering through the same emotions Toshiro felt when he'd dropped the twins off at school but unlike Tensai, Koiyu still loved a good cuddle and Toshiro relished in it.

35 months later…

'We watched that one already,' Toshiro chuckled as Yukio lazily flicked through the movies available on the television.

'We could watch it again?' Yukio chuckled, 'it has Chris Evans in it.' Toshiro turned to open his mouth when they heard something. They both stopped dead. It was night time and the kids had gone to bed hours ago. Soon their room door was cracking open and the muffled sound of their son crying caught their attention.

'Daddy?' the small voice cried. It was Tensai and he never cried. 'Daddy I had an accident,' he hiccupped and Toshiro instantly turned on the light as Yukio got up. He walked over to the small boy whose pyjama bottoms were damp at the front and he was rubbing his eyes as he cried into his hands.

'Oh no,' Toshiro muttered as he sat up. Yukio pulled the small boy into his arms, not caring that he was wet.

'That's okay Tensai, let's go and get you cleaned up.' He looked at Toshiro as he left the room. Toshiro sighed, he thought that Tensai seemed a little out of it that day. It wasn't uncommon for children to pick up all kinds of colds and other viruses from coming into contact with other children. Toshiro walked through to the kitchen and put some hot water into a bottle for him. Tensai never wanted to cuddle or want to be coddled in anyway except when he was ill. When he had been a baby and when he was teething he always sought out Yukios warm embrace. When he was being sick it was always his Daddy he wanted. Toshiro didn't take offence to it, Yukio was just much better at that stuff than he was. Besides Koiyu still called after him and Yukio never took offence to that.

When Toshiro made his way up the stairs he opened the bathroom door and saw his husband sitting in the bathtub with Tensai curdled up against him. The shower was on running some hot water and they had both discarded their clothing onto the floor. Toshiro put the bottle on the side of the bath and reached forward to place his hand against his sons' forehead. It was dewy with sweat.

'It's likely a cold he's picked up from school,' Toshiro sighed as he handed Yukio the bottle. Tensai took it a little reluctantly and sipped gently at it as he curled up against Yukios chest. Toshiro brought the shower head down and helped direct the water to try and clean his son up, cheering him up by firing some of it directly at Yukios face.

'Make yourself useful,' Yukio spluttered after bringing a hand up to protect himself, 'and go get us some towels.'

'What do you think Tensai? Should we just leave him to walk around the house wet and naked while I get you a towel?' Toshiro asked and chuckled as his son glared at him.

'No Papa, that's mean,' he sighed nuzzling further into Yukio.

'Gods, he must be ill,' Toshiro chuckled standing up and scooping the clothes on the floor up to put into the wash. He walked through to Tensais room and stripped the bed of the covers. Because Koiyu had accidents often they kept the same waterproof on all the children's beds so that their oldest son didn't feel singled out. It came in handy to protect the mattresses when the kids were sick too, though Toshiro was sure that Tensai would likely be spending the night in their bed since they had an en suit. Toshiro walked over to his dresser and pulled out a fresh pair of pants and pyjamas. Tensai had always hated wearing a nappy so it would be cruel to put one on him if he didn't want it. Toshiro didn't really care if he wet their bed, they needed a new mattress anyway. He made his way out and pulled two fluffy warm towels out the cupboard.

'Papa what's going on?' it was a very sleepy looking Shurui.

'Your little brother isn't very well,' he frowned at her. 'It's okay though sweetie, you go back to bed.'

'I can cheer him up,' she suddenly looked wide awake and Toshiro sighed. 'Alright then,' he took her hand and they walked into the bathroom together. She was still young enough to not fully understand the male anatomy but to minimize exposure to the scene Yukio was quickly handed a towel as he stood up with Tensai in his arms. Toshiro took the small boy into the other towel as Yukio covered himself up and stepped out the bath.

'Tensai are you okay?' Shurui asked, as Toshiro dried him off in the bathroom.

'No,' he mumbled and she frowned.

'Watch this,' she walked back out the bathroom door and proceeded to put on a little show for him by sticking her head only around the corner and pretending that her hand wasn't attached to her body as it did stuff to her face. Tensai was mesmerised and was soon giggling at his big sisters antics as he held onto Toshiros shoulder for support. He lifted one leg obediently to step into his pants as Toshiro went about dressing him, grinning and chuckling along as Shurui put on the most interesting little display. His daughter was hilariously funny and very quick minded.

He recalled the time that he'd been having really bad allergies and had went to get medicine and Tensai and Shurui were sitting at the table. She'd asked why Tensai and Toshiro both had allergies but she didn't and Tensai had stated that only smart people got allergies to which Shurui had turned and told Toshiro that he had a cold instead.

His sons giggles were precious in his ear as Shurui went about dying dramatically on the floor outside the bathroom.

'Isn't your sister silly?' Yukio chuckled as he walked out to pretend to check she was still alive. That's when another small body joined them.

'What's going on?' Koiyu yawned, his strawberry blond hair covering his face completely as he pushed it back so he could see.

'I'm trying to cheer Tensai up, he's not feeling well.' She said and Yukio pretended to cheer that she was alive.

'The entire family is awake now,' Toshiro chuckled as he pulled Tensai into his arms. Now that his son was clean and dry he seemed to have perked up a little but Toshiro could see his nose glistening and figured he was right in his deductions. It was likely a cold that was hanging over him.

'Are we sleeping in your bed tonight?' Shurui asked her eyes wide with excitement.

'Why not?' Toshiro chuckled as the family made their way down stairs, Tensai held his arms out for Yukio and Toshiro handed him over.

Their bed was big enough, Yukio had insisted on getting a king size so the entire family would fit into the bed. They've never all slept in the bed together before because usually it was just when one of the kids were ill or had a bad dream that they'd come into the bed with them. It never happened to all the children together. Shurui was the first one onto the bed when they walked into the room and she instantly took the centre of it. Yukio took Tensai over to his side of the bed which was closest to the bathroom and Koiyu joined Toshiro on his side of the bed. The kids curled up in the centre and Toshiro diverted their attention long enough for Yukio to put on a pair of boxers and a t shirt to cover himself up, then he discarded the towel and crawled into bed. Koiyu was asleep instantly and Shurui soon after. Tensai drifted in and out as Yukio stroked his hair lovingly until he finally fell asleep. It was the big family they'd always wanted and the three kids just looked adorable all cuddled up together on the bed.

'Literally my favourite people in the world all in one bed,' Yukio chuckled softly settling down next to Tensai and trying not to disturb him too much. 'I couldn't be happier.'

'Me either,' Toshiro settled down after he flicked off the light and the TV with a flourish of the remote control. He could hear the children's soft breathing and soon Yukios joined them as they all dozed into a sound sleep. He knew that if someone ever asked him to 'visit his happy place' this is exactly where he'd be. Except that Tensai would be feeling good and maybe the room would be a little cooler. Other than that he literally wouldn't change any of this for the world.
