No one warns you about consequences when you forget to do it protected

Hinowa was shocked when she heard the news. Tsukuyo was pregnant with twins.

The doctor was nonchalant as usual. "Congratulations, you have twins as you can see here."

Tsukuyo did not hear the rest of what the doctor was saying. She was still processing the fact that she was carrying Gin's child let alone twins.

Once Hinowa and Tsukuyo returned home. Hinowa turned to her in concern. "Do you think that it would be a good time to let Gin-san know?"

Tsukuyo looked unsure. Did he deserve the same burden? "I don't know Hinowa, I still havent gotten myself to talk about the child much in the first place. If he finds out that he has twins…"

Seita drop the large golden ball that he was playing with and the ground visibly shook. He looked at Hinowa and Tsukuyo in surprise. "Ah, you guys are back."

"Why are you so surprised Seita-"

It was the person she least wanted to see, Gin and the Odd Jobs. They were just as shocked as Seita was. Color drained from Tsukuyo's face.

"Ah Hinowa-san, h-how are you?" Gin's face was just as pale. "That was quite a crash you made there Seita there's nothing wrong is ther?."

Tsukuyo turned to leave. "I...have some business to attend to. I'll see you guys later."

"Wait Tsukki!" Kagura yelled after her.

"Did you guys hear everything?" Hinowa looked serious as she confronted the trio.

They were silent. After a few moments, Gin faced Shinpachi and Kagura. "You guys should go home"

"But Gin-Chan," said Kagura. But Shinpachi put a hand on her shoulder.

"Kagura-Chan let's go," urged Shinpachi.

As soon as they were gone, Hinowa excused Seita as well.

"How long have you known?" Gin asked grimly.

"Ever since you returned Tsukuyo home," said Hinowa. "You only knew she was pregnant right?"

He sighed. "Yes"

"She never wanted to tell you," explained Hinowa. "She didn't want to burden you."

"What the hell is that," mumbled Gin.

"So, what are you going to do?" Hinowa asked.

Gin sat down and crossed his arms. "I'll wait for her, I don't know what I'm going to say but I'll think about it until she returns."

Hinowa closed her eyes. "Not a problem, I'll have Seita fetch you some tea."

"Thanks," responded Gin.

Tsukuyo felt like screaming, this wasn't how she planned to tell him. Maybe she hoped that he would find out after they were born, or maybe never even learn of the potential that he was the father of a child.

After a couple of hours distracting herself through work. When the day was finally over, she made a stop by the bridge that connected the Yoshiwara and the world above. She wanted to smoke to ease the tension, but she was warned against smoking since it could cause problems for the child.

But one smoke won't hurt-

"You shouldn't be smoking," said Gin grabbing the pipe from her hand.

Tsukuyo sighed. "How is it that you always come to me at my worst times? I swear, one day you may start to haunt me."

"I told you, there's nothing wrong with asking for help," said Gin as he emptied the ash from her pipe. "Plus, I'm not only here for you," mumbled Gin. His eyes seemed to be upon her growing womb.

Tsukuyo's eyes followed his. She rubbed her growing womb. "I should apologize to you."

"Don't apologize," said Gin. "It's bothersome to me when you're like this."

She smiled. "Then I suppose I should thank you for not running away from your offspring."

Gin scratched his head. "That's ridiculous, why would I run from something like that?"

"Really? I'm impressed Gintoki, I figured you would be more freaked out by this."

"I would be lying to say I wasn't bothered," responded Gin. "You believed that you needed to carry this responsibility for yourself alone. Now it's mine as well, let me be shoulder that responsibility as well."

Tsukuyo looked at him to search for any doubt in his words, she was unsure. Never in her life has she wanted to believe in someone else so strongly. Her gaze was met with a looks she was not familiar with in Gin. His brows were furrowed in concern, but he was looking at her with such conviction that she couldn't help but believe in him at that moment.

"Am I really that unreliable to you?"

"Actually sometimes you are," admitted Tsukuyo. She was smiling however which gave reflected in Gin's face as well.

"Give me a break, seriously, I just learned that I'm the father of two children. So are we going to name them Dia and Block as you said?"

She punched him. "Gintoki, they're not going to be thugs."

"Since they're being birthed by a hell of a woman, I would think that it fits rather well."

"And a lazy father, I should probably apologize that you're the father instead."

"Hey"
