Labored breaths echoed inside Kanekis ears. It wasn't discomfort that he felt, but it didn't feel pleasant. His face felt hot, like the type of feeling you get when you have a cold. It was dark... but that was probably because his eye's were closed. His eye's...

Kaneki shot up, finding himself wrapped in a blanket and in a familiar, sweet smelling room. It was the guest room- his room... The lights were out, the only illumination was brought in by the open window turning everything in the room into a hue of blue. The walls, the bed frame, Kaneki's own skin, and that green tuff of hair that sat on a chair, hunched over and face down on the covers next to him.

"E- eto..." words felt like jelly pooling out of his mouth. That must've been an effect of having a hole in your head. With that thought in mind, Kaneki quickly shot his hand up to his right eye, which he'd kept closed the entire time... if he even still had it. He tentativly began to press his finger unto it, half expecting his hand to go right through... It didn't, he was met with the soft skin over his eye.

He slowly opened it after that, and, at first, his vision was blurry, but that soon faded away.

He brought his hand down slowly, calming down a bit, gently resting it at his side.

That's when Eto opened her eye's. Maybe it took her a while to register, maybe it was just disbelief, but where she hesitated at first she practically tackled Kaneki unto the mattress, holding him close. Kaneki smiled, it was an all to familiar feeling, being held by her like this.

"I was so scared for you..." She whispered to him, as she laid above him, lazily draping her arms around his neck. "I didn't want to lose you like I lost my mother... And I didn't want them to loose you like I lost my mother... I-I love you..."

Kaneki smiled at the words as he lay underneath her and he felt a warmth in his chest. "I... Love you too..." He paused, "But who is them?"

Eto smiled as she brought her lips to his and planted a kiss softly with a tender warmth on her own. "I'm pregnant."

She said it with such a normality, as if it he'd known it before hand. It made him laugh, a mixture of joy and comedy.

It wasn't but 8 months or so later that their daughter, Ukina, had been born.

End.

Like I said before, thank everyone for all their support over these past few months. It means a lot. But don't worry, this wont be the last you see of this pairing, or this AU for that matter, that's right, while not a real "Sequel" I do plan to make chapter long short stories for this in another story, focusing solely on Eto,Ken, and their before that I have two projects I need to get rolling first. Rehabilitation and a new Devil May Cry fic. The Devil May Cry one I'm quite excited for... It should hold fans like me over until DMC5 is announced(please?)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this series, I know I sure did. Writing for you guys has been so much fun.
