Yes, hello, I am back with more. Thank you all so so so soooooooo much for your reviews and gender/name suggestions. You have no idea how much they mean to me. Anyway, here is the birth of the Touken spawn. Warning: I suck at birth scenes, I am so sorry.

[A/N at the end, so stick around]

Enjoy~ (or don't, whatever floats your boat)

Lying on the hospital bed, Touka watched as her husband paced around the room worriedly. 'You would think with all that he's seen in the past, he would be okay with watching his wife give birth... He's such a baby.' Her thoughts were cut off as she felt another contraction. Clenching her fists on the rails of the bed, she began to take deep breaths through the pain.

Kaneki ceased pacing as he noticed Touka's hands tighten so much that he could see the whites of her knuckles. He quickly walked to her side and touched one of her fists softly.

"Does it hurt?" He spoke quietly, squeezing her hand.

She glowered at him. "Yes it fucking hurts, are you stupid? Did you think that pushing an eight pound baby out of my body wouldn't HURT?!"

Kaneki jumped back slightly and let go of her hand. "I'm sorry! I just don't know what I should be doing..."

"You should just stand there and shut up. I am about to give birth to your child, I do not need you to feel useless right now," Touka hissed through clenched teeth as another contraction hit.

Just as the contraction faded, the doctor walked into the room. He glanced up from his folder and caught the look on both of the soon to be parent's faces. Closing the folder, he smiled and moved to the foot of the bed. Checking her progress, he spoke to Touka.

"Well, it looks like you're almost there. Give it maybe an hour or so longer and you should be ready. If the contractions start coming right after another, call the nurse and she'll get me. There's also some pain medication if you feel that you need it."

With that, he smiled at the pair once more and left the room. Kaneki's face looked pale, but Touka's showed determination. 'Pain medication? Why would I need pain relievers? I can handle at least this much, I've had worse before.' She "tch'd" at the closed door and went back to stubbornly fighting contractions.

Unfortunately, Kaneki showed much less determination than his small wife; he was terrified. He stared after the doctor for five minutes before turning to his wife. Staring at her face, he attempted to eradicate his fear and squash the pessimistic thoughts racing through his head. 'What if something happens to Touka? What if something happens to the baby? I can't help either of them!' Kaneki gulped and sat down in the chair close to his wife.

Touka turned and met his eyes. Her face was still set in determination, but there was a small tinge of pain clouding her violet eyes. In an extremely rare show of vulnerability, Touka grabbed his hand squeezed it so hard she almost broke a couple fingers. She relaxed slightly, closing her eyes and breathing deeply.

Kaneki reached with his other hand to move her bangs away from her face. He was about to touch her cheek when she suddenly yelped and held onto his hand even tighter than before. Kaneki recovered from the shock and thought he heard her mumble something. He turned his head and put his ear closer to her,

"Sorry, what was that?"

"I said: CALL THE DAMN DOCTOR, dumbass!" Touka shouted, head-butting his chin.

"O-Okay, on it!" Kaneki ran out of the room as fast as he could, Touka still screaming profanities at him until the door slammed shut.

-x-

"Alright, ma'am, let's check your progress," the doctor said, snapping his gloves on.

He lifted the sheet covering Touka's lower half for less than a minute before letting it fall back and grinned at her.

"Well, I'd say it's time to push." The doctor looked towards Kaneki, who was standing by the door. "She's going to need your help now. She didn't accept anything for the pain and as much as she believes she can handle it, childbirth is a different type of pain."

Kaneki nodded and walked to the chair he previously sat in. 'Oh my god, it's really happening. Oh god oh god oh god I am so nervous.' Sitting in the chair, he picked up one of Touka's hands in both of his. 'Alright, it'll be fine, everything is going to be fine,' taking a deep breath, Kaneki smiled slightly at his wife. She didn't return the smile -he didn't expect her to- and nodded at the doctor,

"I'm ready. Let's get this thing out of me."

"Breathe in deeply, counting to 7, and push," he told her.

Touka did as he said, breathing in. Sitting up, she exhaled and contracted her abdominal muscles, pushing downward. Clenching her eyes shut, she squeezed Kaneki's hand and grunted. She slumped back down onto the bed, eyes still closed, and prepared to push again.

Kaneki watched as Touka repeated the process multiple times. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, he felt a new sense of respect towards his small wife. He let her squeeze his hand as hard as she wanted, refusing to acknowledge how much it hurt. 'Well, it's definitely going to be bruised... But this is nothing compared to what she's doing.'

"It's crowning! Just a couple more pushes and you'll be good to go," the doctor encouraged, giving Touka a thumbs-up.

Touka nodded. She took the deepest breath she'd ever taken and pushed, hard. She didn't scream, but she did whimper and held Kaneki's hand so hard that she actually broke a couple fingers. The room was soon filled with the high pitched cries of the wailing infant.

"It's a girl!" The doctor exclaimed. "Come on Papa, you get to cut the cord."

Kaneki left Touka's side and stared at the squirming newborn, completely forgetting his broken fingers. He took the surgical scissors from the nurse and cut the umbilical cord. Moving back to Touka, he continued to stare as the nurses cleaned the blood and fluids from the baby.

"Isn't that great, Touka-chan?! It's a girl! We have a daughter!" Kaneki was practically shouting, looking back and forth between his wife and his new daughter.

"Yeah, but I'm just glad it's over. That was more of a hass-" Her sentence was cut off as she suddenly felt an excruciating pain, causing her to scream out. "What the FUCK was that?! I thought it wasn't supposed to hurt this much afterwards!"

Kaneki's face paled as he stared at the doctor. The doctor looked down for a few seconds and then met Touka's eyes, a surprised look on his face. He cleared his throat,

"Well ma'am, it's another baby. You were pregnant with twins."

Touka's eyes widened, staring at the doctor openmouthed. Then she looked up at her husband, face darkening in irritation.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT. I AM NEVER HAVING- AAAaAAAAAGH!" she screamed as another wave of pain hit. "I AM NEVER HAVING SEX WITH YOU AGAIN! EVER!"

Kaneki flinched as he held her hand again, hoping she wasn't serious. 'Ouch! I forgot about my fingers..' Although, he still had a dopey smile on his face. 'Two babies! Twins! This is the best day ever!'

Meanwhile, at the doctor's order, Touka began to push again. This baby was born quicker than its sister was, Touka only having to push twice. Still, it hurt like hell; worse than the first time. As her last angry scream died out, the room was filled with the piercing cries of two babies.

"It's a boy!"

Kaneki repeated the process of cutting the cord and watched the nurses do the same with his son as they did with his daughter. He was so enraptured with his children that he almost didn't hear the doctor talking to the new parents.

"They're fraternal twins," he informed them. "The chance of twins is low if there has never been any in your families before, so you got lucky!"

With that, the doctor said his goodbyes and left the new family to themselves. The nurses placed the squirming bundles in Touka's arms, splinted his broken fingers and followed the doctor out.

Kaneki hesitated as Touka nudged his leg, trying to give him the little girl to hold. He slowly wrapped the bundle in his arms and sat in the chair, staring at the little girl in his arms. There was a small tuft of hair on her head the same color as Touka's. As she yawned and opened her eyes, he saw that she had inherited his eyes. She smiled as she looked up into her father's grey eyes with her own identical ones. Kaneki grinned and snuggled the newborn closer to his chest, kissing her small forehead softly.

Touka watched her husband bond with their daughter, one corner of her lips lifted up in a small smile. She looked away from father and daughter in favor of observing her son. He looked like his father with Kaneki's original black hair. The only difference was his eyes. Just as her daughter inherited Kaneki's, her son inherited her own eye color. Touka played with her son's tiny hands as she stared down at her son affectionately. 'Hmm... The whole being pregnant thing sucked big time, but I guess the final product is worth the experience.'

"So do you still blame me for all of this?" Kaneki asked.

". . . Did you not see how much pain I went through? Hell yes I still blame you!" She huffed.

"You could have gotten something so it wouldn't hurt nearly as bad, but you were being stubborn," He pointed out.

"Tch."

Kaneki chuckled and shifted his daughter so that her head was resting on his shoulder. Keeping his arms secured around her, Kaneki leaned down and waited until Touka lifted her head to look at him. When she did, he smiled and kissed her lips lovingly. After a few seconds, Kaneki broke the kiss and leaned his forehead against hers, whispering:

"Thank you."

Touka blinked and looked away, her cheeks pink. Looking down at the infant in her arms, she muttered:

"Whatever, idiot Kaneki."

Soooooooooooooooooo, what do y'all think? You have no idea how hard it was to write this with Touka staring at me with ghoul eyes (she's the background on my tumblr). But I persevered! Anyway, onto some clarifications and other stuff.

A couple of you lovely people have asked about them being in the hospital. I honestly didn't even write this fic with them being ghouls in mind, I am so sorry. But, I like to say that they went to a sort of underground ghoul hospital. I hope that makes more sense.

All of you that voted on gender, you get a cookie. Thank you so much for doing that, I love you. I went ahead and went with surprise fraternal twins, one girl and one boy. Because I am complete trash. But seriously. Boy had the most votes, but I really like the idea of Kaneki having a little girl. So I thought "¿por qué no los dos?" and thus Touken twins were born.

As for names, I am going to write at least one more chapter this. So names will be in that chapter, mostly because I wasn't able to decide for this chapter. Which means, keep the name suggestions coming. I really need them.

One last thing, I hope you all don't mind another Christmas themed chapter because yeah, that's what it's gonna be. I apologize in advance.

So yeah, I think that's all I have to say right now... Until next time!

Tschüss!
