Summary: The sad,humorous, and sometimes painful tale of the birth of a Silver Rose. Spirit x Stein

Author's Notes: Alright, I've finally stopped procrastinating. This will be Mpreg, Stein's the expecting mommy, and this might switch through several different languages. Also, most chapters from here on out will be song themed.

Stein followed the faint, tinkling melody of a music box throughout the hallways of Patchwork gentle metallic chime was magnified in the mostly empty house,giving it a cold haunting didn't mind, and he doubted the one who wound it minded much.

Reaching the small library in his home he spotted the source of the melody. A small silver haired sat hunched over piles of horror novels (with some Sherlock Holmes mixed in) and clutching a stitched up plush cat stepping over scattered barrier of Stephen King books, Stein maneuvered to sit next to the tiny nine year old.

" Mein liebes, haben Sie das Buch gewählt, das Sie heute abend lesen möchten?"Stein murmured, running his hand through her thick silvery gray hair (he still marveled at how much it was like his own)

"Keine Mamma. Aber…"Large blue (with green-gold specks) eyes turned to Stein with a question hidden in their intelligent depths. "I wanna know how I came into this world." She finished in English.

Stein's hand slowed but didn't stop, a contemplative frown pulling his lips down. "Tatiana…" The name was a conflicted sigh. Tatiana looked at her mother, her eyes curious and pleading. A look Stein couldn't help smile at; she truly was his daughter. "Mum, please tell me." seeing his resolve waver, she began to speak in German, "Ich fragte Vater…, aber er bildete irgendeine childish Geschichte" At the end she pulled a face. Stein laughed, it was odd to see such a mature child scrunch up her face. It looked like she won.

"Alright, but this story might take a few days to be told." Stein got up then looked down at the child "However, before I begin it might be wise to relocate from the hard floor." For emphasis Stein placed his hand on the small of his back in an attempt to pop it back in place.

Smiling (a tad smugly, another trait from him) Tatiana stood and grasped the elder silver's coat hem.
