A/N: And here's another request. I had the choice between a 'hot' scene and this, and since I refuse to raise the rating to M this was the natural choice^^

The room was quiet, only the occasional sound of a page being turned filled his ears as Tezuka read in his book. He was in their bedroom, sitting on the couch in the corner, reading while Ryoma slept.

Suddenly a gasp startled him out of the world of the book, and Tezuka looked towards his lover. Ryoma had sat up on the bed, his left hand resting on his abdomen.

"I think the water broke." He whispered, eyes wide.

The book dropped to the floor, sounds and colors flashing as Fuji and Sanada suddenly were in the room with them. When had they come in?

He faintly heard Atobe call the doctor and before he noticed they were in an ambulance speeding towards the hospital.

The doctor's words just a few weeks earlier resounded in his head; painful, complications, c-section –

The sounds of the sirens were loud, way too loud for Tezuka's liking and he looked numbly at his lovers.

He couldn't quite read their faces, and his eyes fell on his youngest lover, eyes screwed shut in pain. He reached out and held his hand gently, but the next minute Ryoma almost broke it with his tight hold.

Then they were in the waiting room. Tezuka blinked, trying to recall how they got there, but he could only remember flashed of colors and what seemed like a hallway.

After what seemed way to short a time for a twin birth, the doctor came out and looked at them, his face sad.

"Sorry. I'm afraid we lost him." Tezuka felt his insides run cold as the words sunk in. Then suddenly the doctor broke out into a big smile.

"But you're babies are healthy, see?" He said, and out of seemingly nowhere he produced to twin bundles and held them out to them.

But as Tezuka looked at the supposed babies inside he almost threw up.

The babies grinned up at him, eyes red, skin almost black and fangs growing out of their mouth. Instead of nails, claws protruded from their fingers and they reached out for him, clawing at him-

Tezuka shot up in bed, sweat running down his back and breaths coming quick. The darkness around him seemed almost menacing after that dream, and he quickly looked to his left; no Ryoma.

Careful not to awake any of his still sleeping lovers, Tezuka made his way out of bed, and out of the room. Walking down the hallway he saw light coming from the kitchen and immediately steered that way, hoping to find his little lover and make sure he was okay.

As he gently pushed the door open he saw Ryoma sitting on the counter with a cup of tea in his hands. The oversized shirt he slept in after he had started showing made him look even smaller than normal, and in the fluorescent light he seemed pale.

Tezuka strode into the room quickly, and Ryoma's eyes immediately latched onto him. He sat down the cup as Tezuka stopped in front of him, arms snaking around his waist and his older lover's forehead pressed lightly against his.

Ryoma frowned.

"You okay Mitsu?" He asked reaching up to gently caress his face.

Tezuka closed his eyes, enjoying the feel of soft fingers against his skin, and sighed.

"Just a bad dream." He mumbled, turning his head so his mouth caught the fingers, and kissing them lightly.

"Hn, want a cup of tea?" Ryoma asked though making no move to get away.

"Sound good." Tezuka whispered. He drew back a bit, giving Ryoma room to maneuver around, but to his surprise he didn't get down from the counter.

Turning this way and that, Ryoma grabbed what he needed and made another cup of tea. Tezuka noted that Ryoma had placed himself in the one spot on the counter, where he was able to reach everything without getting off, and started to wonder exactly how often Ryoma came here in the night.

"Why are you up at this time?" He asked watching his lover pour the water in the cup. Ryoma looked up for a second before concentrating on the cup again.

"The twins are being a bit rowdy." He answered, noticing Tezuka's slight wince.

Frowning he handed his lover the tea and picked his own cup back up.

"So what kind of bad dream?" He asked though he already had an idea on what it was.

Tezuka kept his eyes on the clear liquid as he quietly told him about the birth and the twin demons.

"Really Mitsu, you know that would never happen right?" Ryoma asked with a slightly raised eyebrow. Tezuka nodded, he knew very well demons didn't exist-

"After carrying these two inside me for a good six months already, there is no way I'm just gonna lay down and die, even if I have to give natural birth!"

Tezuka took a sip of the hot liquid, hiding a small smile.

Indeed.

A/N: really, with how some people reacted to the news that it was boy's you'd think I had killed off their favorite character^^'

FYI I do believe I have never said this was gonna be Ryoma's only pregnancy *scheming smile* oh the possibilities…

Oh and my naming sense sucks (big time) so if you have a good name for one, or both, of the twins you are more than welcome to suggest it^^
