Pairings: Hibari X Tsuna X Mukuro?!

Genre: This is an MPREG!

Summary: When Yamamoto and Gokudera go pick up Tsuna for school; they find him passed out on his bathroom floor. After having him checked over by Shamal, Tsuna finds out that he's pregnant. There's just one problem: One: he's a guy and Two: he doesn't know who the father is. Let's watch as his journey unfolds.

Last Time…

"Are you saying that Tsuna might lose his babies?" it was the one question the hitman hoped he wouldn't be asking and it irked him to no end that things have gone this badly this far, and he speculated that the answer was not the one that he wanted to hear.

"Right now that's very possible…I'm sorry…" Shamal replied disheartened, "I'll do what I can to keep that from happening but right now he's in a vulnerable state."

"Which means we won't even be able to move him to Vongola headquarters where he'd be safer, considering the guardians are also hurt," Reborn considered all possibilities but they all ended the same, with Tsuna's current condition there was no way to safely move him.

"Ah, right now traveling would be the last thing I recommend." The perverted doctor finished his last note before filing it away in his desk. "If anything he's lucky that he and the babies are still alive after everything that's happened even before the attack. It's not just physical stress that's hurting him but more so the emotional part of it and if he's bottling up all those emotions it was only matter of time before it started manifesting this way."

"In either case, with the most of the guardians injured and the other two being idiots I'll have to call in some backup while I investigate the famiglia that attacked my dame-student." Reborn stated before leaving Shamal's office, right now he had some calls to make.

Chapter Ten: Promises

They walked in silence following the nurse to the ICU ward, the nurse leading them there explained that though Shamal gave the ok to see Tsuna they would not be able to actually enter his room. When they questioned why, she explained that though the brunet was stable at the moment they didn't want to cause anymore unnecessary stress to his health and those of the unborn babies. Instead they were lead to the waiting room right outside Tsuna's room, the only thing separating them from going into the room was the large glass doors that the nurses were constantly going in and out of as they checked the various machines that were hooked to the brunet's body. One could say it looked that the only thing keeping him alive and breathing was all the I.V's and contraptions that they had him hooked to.

At that moment all they could do was watch as Tsuna's chest would steadily rise and fall with each breath he took, as each peak on the heart monitor beeped one after another showing signs that the brunet was indeed still alive. Nana shakily walked to the glass doors, her hand trembling as she let it rest on the cold glass, she had never seen her son in such prone and fragile state. She always considered Tsuna her clumsy child and knew about the bruises he always tried to hide when he came home from school but she never really worried about them, she figured that if it became too much for her son then he would come and tell her. He'd never gone to the emergency room because of it, he never complained about any of it so she left it alone it was the sole reason she always believed her son was so strong no matter what anyone else believed.

This time it was different though, the nurses wouldn't even let her into the room just to hold his hand, at the very least. It was a mother's duty to protect her child from any harm that could befall them, to comfort them in their time of need.

"Tsu-kun…" she whispered to herself.

The two rain and storm guardians remained standing behind the grief-stricken mother, they weren't sure how to comfort her and they didn't want to upset her even more if they did or said the wrong thing. Instead they opted to just stay back and watch as the nurses made sure that Tsuna remained stable while really all they could do was watch helplessly.

One thing was for sure…they were going to make the people that hurt Tsuna were going to pay dearly for messing with their friend.

Gokudera and Yamamoto were quickly making their way to the hospital, it'd been three days since the incident at the school and Tsuna was still unconscious, Shamal explained that the brunet's pregnancy was starting to affect his body and not in a good way. The first reason being the obvious that Tsuna was a male, despite his girlish looks, so his body was not adjusting to the pregnancy as well as he would if he'd been a female. Shamal also explained that the fact that he was having twins doubled the amount of stress Tsuna's body was going under to support the babies as well as himself was overwhelming his body too much. The doctor wasn't even sure whether or not the brunet would make it to the full term of the pregnancy, at this point any unnecessary stress would be harmful to the all three them.

They entered through the main entrance of the hospital to the nurses' station to check in before heading to the brunet's room, from the moment they left the school grounds there was an intense silence between the two. Ever since the attack on Tsuna they've both been trapped in their own thoughts over the events of that day, they kept running the whole battle over and over in their heads trying to think what they could've done differently to stop Charlotte from hurting their friend. Then their thoughts would come up with hundreds of different ways to train themselves to become stronger but in the end everything came back to their guilt for not being able to protect Tsuna from harm's way, the only reason they barely survived was because the only two potential fathers of Tsuna's unborn children just happened to battling it out in the same area.

Their awkward silence continued that is until they saw Reborn outside Tsuna's room having a conversation with Shamal, seeing that they quicken their pace to the two hoping for some good news. At this point any news was better than nothing that they didn't already know, the brunet's condition hadn't gotten any better but luckily he also hadn't gotten any worse. Both hitman and doctor faced the teens running towards them, their faces were somewhat grim which only worried the boys even more. They worried that maybe Tsuna's condition had taken a turn for the worst, such thoughts only added to their growing guilt in their inability to protect the brunet.

"Hey kid," Yamamoto greeted the hitman before turning to Shamal to ask the same question that was also on Gokuderas's mind. "How's Tsuna, any changes?"

"He's finally awake if that's what you really want to know." Shamal said exhausted from the last couple days. "His mother's inside right now, he's conscious but he still needs plenty of bed rest before I can send him home."

"Tsuna's awake?!" Yamamoto's voice trembled with relief that his best friend was okay. Gokudera who had been quiet yelled at the baseball player for not believing in his precious Juudaime to which other only laughed off the other's antics. It was a complete turnover compared to the last couple of days that the guardians practically isolated themselves from each other to either train or to go to school. They were about to burst into Tsuna's room when Shamal stopped them.

"Before you go in there's some-ack!" Shamal was drop kicked by none other than Reborn to which the two guardians thought was strange.

"R-Reborn-san!" Gokudera should've been used to the hitman's random acts of violence but he still managed to surprise time after time.

"Don't worry about it," Reborn ignored the doctor's cries of pain as he talked to the boys, "just go inside, I'm sure Tsuna will be more than happy to see you guys."

"Haha… the kid's right Gokudera," Yamamoto was eager to see friend, "Let's go see how Tsuna is. Thanks again Dr. Shamal for taking care of Tsuna." The baseball player was excited that Tsuna was finally awake, he never liked hospitals they always gave him a foreboding feeling and this time was no different from the rest.

Shamal was quick to recover from the hitman's blow, he staggered a bit but he wasn't going to let Reborn put him down so easy. However he did decide to keep his mouth shut if he didn't want to be pumped full of lead by the hitman. He dusted himself off and began walking back to his office, "Tch… Whatever, as long as I don't have to treat guys for after this I don't care."

"Teme! Don't talk about Juudaime like that you perverted doctor!" Gokudera yelled angrily at the doctor for disrespecting his boss, he was about to knock some sense into the man but he was help back by Yamamoto. The baseball player merely shook his head at him as they had more pressing matters to attend to, in other words, Tsuna. However they were still concerned it was obvious that Reborn was trying to hide something from them but it wasn't like they could force it out of him so for now they just accept his decision, at least for now. The two guardians watched as Reborn followed the doctor back to his office, before finally entering Tuna's room.

Meanwhile as Shamal and Reborn walked back to his office he couldn't help but voice his opinion, "They deserve to know the truth about the kid's condition." If Reborn expected the guardians to protect the young Dongola boss to their full extent then they needed to know everything concerning the boy's health worsened as the pregnancy progressed, they needed to be prepared for anything.

"If Tsuna doesn't want them to know then I'll respect his decision at least for now…" Reborn didn't want to admit that Shamal was partially right but right now Tsuna's health took priority if that meant temporarily keeping information from the guardians as to not upset the brunet then he would do so at least until his condition improved.

Shamal didn't agree with Reborn's decision to keep quiet about Tsuna's condition to the others but he would keep the boy's secret for now but if it jeopardized either the brunet or the lives of the babies he was carrying then he would definitely have to take action on his own. Reborn may have promised to not tell the others about the seriousness of the kid's injuries but he would definitely keep a promise he already had with the brunet should anything happen.

Shamal still couldn't believe he'd make a promise like that with the brunet, could it be he was getting soft?

Flashback…

It was early in the morning when Shamal decided it was a good as any to look over the nurses' notes from the night before to check for any changes that might've occurred while the nurses observed him the night before. Luckily there was no change his blood pressure was stable, his breathing stabilized the day before so he didn't have to wear the oxygen mask anymore, and the same went for the babies. The only problem was that Tsuna hadn't shown any signs of waking yet, which only added to the concern that there may have been a deeper cause to his current state.

Having no luck with the regular diagnostic tests he decided that a more in-depth ultrasound may provide better clues as to the brunet's slow recovery. Shamal asked one of the cute nurses to set up the machine while he finished the rest of the check-up. When she finished he dismissed her or rather she quickly excused herself before he had a chance to harass her, something the man was very popular for.

The man turned the machine on and grabbed the tube of jelly and squeezed it out onto the brunet's belly and spread it around using the transducer to get a better picture of the womb. It took a few painstakingly slow minutes to scan through the womb to find what he was looking for and unfortunately it wasn't great news. The image showed a very small portion of the placenta separating from the inside of the womb itself, Shamal moved the wand to get a better view of the separation but stopped when he heard a soft whine of discomfort.

He looked back to Tsuna's anguished face as the boy's eyes peeled open a bit as he took in his surroundings, when they finally landed on the doctor he knew he was probably in the hospital. Tsuna opened his mouth to speak but having been unconscious for nearly three days had really done a number on his voice.

"S-Sha-mal?...", Tsuna croaked softly confused as to what the doctor was doing, it wasn't until he saw the ultrasound machine and the wand in the doctor's hand he slowly began to realize what was going on. Something happened to his babies, why else would that machine be on if Shamal? Tsuna panicked, his heart rate went up as did his breathing the machines he was still connected to showed that and Shamal was quick to act before the boy had a full blown anxiety attack.

"Calm down kid." Shamal tried to soothe the brunet before any more damage was done, there was already enough to deal with he didn't need anymore. It took a few minutes, but after a while he managed to calm him down enough that the machines quieted down as well.

"W-what happened? Why am I in the h-ospital? Are my b-b-babies ok?...", Tsuna's endless questions started to annoy Shamal but he couldn't blame the boy. It only stopped when Tsuna's voice gave out and coughs wracked his body.

Shamal gave handed the brunet a glass of water to help soothe the boy's throat, to which the other drank grateful for the drink.

"What's the last thing you remember?" Shamal asked him as soon as he finished, while he went back to get a better picture of Tsuna's womb.

"Eh?...I-I remember eating lunch with the others but that's about it," Tsuna looked at the doctor confused as he tried to remember.

"Hmm…So you don't remember anything or feeling anything out of the ordinary?" the dark haired man continued his questions keeping his eyes glued to the screen.

"N-No?," Tsuna suddenly remembered that awful feeling, "W-wait! I remember feeling like my body was on fire, does that count?"

"Course it does you idiot!" Shamal finally found a better view but he had to press the wand a bit harder than Tsuna liked but he was finally able to get the picture he wanted.

"G-gomen…" Tsuna wasn't sure why he was apologizing it just seemed like it was the right thing to say in the moment.

"Don't apologize. Look, you were attacked by an unknown family; we don't know exactly what their motives were except that they wanted you." Shamal explained as he started to clean the boy's stomach of the jelly. "You've been unconscious for the last couple of days and I have a clearer picture of the extent of your injuries for sure now."

"W-what do you m-mean?" Tsuna gulped at the seriousness in the doctor's voice. Normally Shamal would act nonchalant or be concerned more about his date that night than pay anything attention to Tsuna's injuries but this time it was different.

"It's called placental abruption, in other words a small portion of the placenta has torn away from your uterine wall which means-", Shamal stopped when he saw that Tsuna had absolutely no idea what he was even talking about, which only added to his frustration. "Just how much of an idiot are you! It means that if the tear gets any bigger than you and the babies are pretty much dead!"

Tsuna's eyes widened as he processed the information that Shamal had just given him, he didn't want to believe any of it. It seemed like everyone was trying to keep him from having these babies. Surely there must be something that Shamal could do though, right? After all he's one of the best doctors in the Mafia so there must be something that the man could do to make him better.

"You're gonna fix it though, right? Even Gokudera-kun said you're one of the best doctors so you have to have a cure right?" Tsuna looked up at Shamal with pleading eyes to help him to prevent what the doctor just explained.

Now it was Shamal who was stunned, as much as he wanted to though he wasn't going to lie to boy about the seriousness of his condition. "No. There's nothing I can do." Shamal was blunt about it, "There's no cure the only thing I can do is monitor the tear, luckily it doesn't look like it's gotten any bigger but if it gets worse then we'd have to do any emergency C-section and deliver the babies prematurely to fix the tear."

"B-but would the babies survive?" Tsuna asked, his eyes tearing up at what Shamal was telling him.

"It's still too early I doubt they'd survive the first ten minutes. The best we can do is make sure you get plenty of bed rest until they can be delivered at a safer time." Shamal wasn't sure what else he could tell the brunet to make him feel any better. He was about to walk out to give Tsuna time alone to gather his thoughts but he was stopped when Tsuna practically jumped out of bed to stop him from leaving.

"Wait!" Tsuna cried.

"Oi! You idiot are you trying to make it worse!" Shamal reprimanded the brunet but Tsuna wasn't going to let him leave so easy.

"I want you to promise me," Shamal looked at the boy confused at what he meant, "promise that if anything happens y-you'll save my babies first!" Tsuna continued to cry through what he was asking the doctor to do, but right now his babies' well-being was first.

Before Shamal could say anything though Tsuna collapsed in his arms, the dark-haired man couldn't help but curse his luck when he had to carry the brunet back into bed and reattach the that Tsuna had accidently yanked out when he jumped at him. Tsuna on the other hand kept muttering for Shamal to promise in his semi-conscious state, he was determined to make the man promise. Tsuna knew that if his friends and family had to decide between him and the babies they'd most likely choose him more than anything.

"Fine. I promise." Shamal tucked Tsuna back into bed; once he was sure that he'd fallen back asleep he left the room. The stupid smile on Tsuna's face after making such a promise made him want to leave that room as soon as possible.

'Tch… I need a cigarette.'
