Hitomi looked at Hidan with wide eyes, "Wh-what're you doing here? Why did you take me? What's going on?"
"What's going on? Kakuzu told me next to nothing is what is going on. I had to track you down myself and you're sleeping in some guy's room. You stupid little whore." Hidan scowled.
"Kakuzu... didn't tell you...? He was going to kill me... I thought he was going to turn you against me too so the only thing I thought to do was run..." she frowned, looking hurt.
"You really think I'm gonna fall for that crap?" Hidan rolled his eyes, "Nice sob story... Not believing it."
"It's true though!" Hitomi protested, "He tried to kill me!"
"Right... Give me one reason why I shouldn't just off you right here and now." Hidan growled lowly.
"I'm pregnant." she gulped.
"You're... You're WHAT!" Hidan snapped, "Well who's the fuck is it!"
"I think it's Kankuro's..." she lowered her head.
"Great. Just. Fucking. Great." He scowled, but for some reason he didn't feel like that was right.
He wasn't sure what was wrong but something about this was wrong. He had a gut feeling about it and though he didn't always listen, he was going to listen for once. He grabbed her without another word and led her a lab that worked for Akatsuki.
"I want you to test to see who's baby this is." He whispered to one of the scientists.
"Why'd you bring me here?" Hitomi had bitched the whole way, asking where he was taking her, what he was doing, and all the way sobbing her eyes out.
"Shut up and let him run the tests." Hidan ordered.
She sniffled, "Why are you testing me if you're just going to kill me?"
"Just shut the fuck up and do the tests." he snapped.
She bit her tongue, staying quiet as they worked through the tests. When they finished getting blood from both Hidan and Hitomi and doing all their tests, Hidan was pulled aside while Hitomi was left alone in the waiting room. She just wanted to go back to Kankuro, staying here near Hidan made her heart ache and burn with pain.
When Hidan came back, he was scowling.
"I told you I thought it was Kankuro's..." she muttered.
"Wrong. It's mine." he glared daggers at her, "And you have two choices... you can either stay here and give me the child and you die... or you can help me raise it under the name of Jashin..."
She looked up at him with puffy eyes, glaring, "Why should I help you with jack shit! If I stay with you then Kakuzu will kill me or at least try to again! And to top it off you won't even believe me!"
"Well it doesn't help that you ran off." he scowled.
"FUCK YOU!" She stood and began to push him and hit his chest, "Fuck you and the fucking horse you fucking rode in on you lameass, selfish, stupid, fuck! I hate you! I fucking hate you! I fucking love you!" She fell to her knees, sobbing.
"Stop the sob story, will you?" He huffed, "It's annoying as all hell. Don't you at least want to know what it's going to be?"
"You can't take my baby from me..." she sniffled.
"I'm not taking the kid from you..." he scowled, "We can keep it a secret, okay? We're going to raise the child under the name of Jashin and I can't be there all the time anyways so I need you to care for it."
"So the only reason you're keeping me around is for the kid..?" she sighed, defeated.
"Just shut the hell up and kiss me." he frowned, "I'm not going to lie and say I didn't miss you."
She looked up at him, "I can't stand up..."
"What do you mean?" he blinked.
"My legs are tired..." she mumbled.
"Do you never stop bitching?" he sighed and helped her up, holding her close.
"I'm sorry..." she looked down, feeling him close to her body.
He put her face in the crook of his neck, "Can you at least be happy that we have a child?"
"I was so scared... that Kakuzu was going to turn you against me and you'd hate me..." she clung to him, secretly enjoying the refreshing scent of lavender and sweat from fighting.
She'd be lying if she said she didn't miss him back. Her heart stopped aching so badly, instead it jumped happily. She was happy to have him close to her and the fact he wasn't hating her right now.
"Kakuzu is an asshole anyways. Forget him..." he sighed again and petted her hair, "Now here's how it's going to go down... You're going to stop crying... I'm going to take you to a safehouse for you to live in... and when the baby is born then we're going to raise... them."
"Them?" she blinked and looked up at him.
"Twins." he smiled, "A girl and a boy..."
"Oh my... really?" she gasped.
He nodded and kissed her forehead, "Now come on... let's get you home so you can rest..."
She nodded and he helped her leave the lab. He got her to a village and just a small trail out of the village was a four room house. There was an entry room, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a bedroom. In the bedroom there was a bed on the floor and in the kitchen the fridge was small and the stove broken, but at least it was a roof over her head.
"I won't be able to be here all the time but I will try to come as often as I can, okay?" Hidan hugged her close, giving her the key to the place.
She nodded, "Do you have to go now?"
"Nah, I've got until tomorrow morning." he kissed her forehead, "You wanna go into town to eat?"
"I don't know if I could eat... I've been getting sick a lot... and I'm really tired... maybe later tonight?" she smiled weakly.
"Of course..." He nodded and helped her to lay down before tucking her in and then lying behind her.
He put his arm around her and held her close, nuzzling the back of her head.
"I'm just gonna sleep for a little bit..." she fell asleep almost instantly.
Hidan smiled and kissed her ear, "Just rest up..."

When Hitomi woke up, Emiri was there.
"So when are they due?" Emiri grinned like the Cheshire cat, from ear to ear.
"I... I don't know..." Hitomi frowned, "Where's Hidan? Is he still mad at me..?"
"Hitomi... Honey... Sometimes you just gotta let a man run to his cave and cool off... He's angry you left... hell, I'm angry you left... but he's happy to have kids." Emiri nodded, frowning, "But I'm pissed that you left without a word."
"But it's not my fault!" Hitomi sniffled, "Kakuzu was going to kill me! He said I was an inconvienience!"
"He did WHAT!" Emiri glared, "No one fucks with my Onee-san! I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!"
"No! Please don't!" Hitomi shook her head, "I don't want him to know I'm around or even if I'm alive... He'll kill me... I know he will..."
Hitomi was obviously terrified, eyes wide until Emiri could see the white's, pale as a ghost, and with a light sweaty sheen to show her fear.
Emiri frowned, "I'm going to go talk to Hidan about this... be right back..."
Emiri left and Hitomi had a good cry, having been holding it in all this time. Her shoulders shook and her eyes were wet as she held her stomach. She just wanted her unborn babies to be happy and safe... but what about Kakuzu? He'd kill them too if he got the chance... What would she do?
It wasn't too long before Emiri brought Hidan back and Hidan would see she had been crying as she struggled to stop. Hidan sighed and walked over, he'd been talking to Emiri and he sat beside Hitomi.
"Stop the crying... alright? I can't talk to you if you're blubbering." He frowned and Emiri smacked him over the head.
"Hey! What was that for!" Hidan griped.
"Don't be a dick to her. You'll regret it." Emiri frowned before smiling at Hitomi, "Go on Onee-san..."
Hitomi frowned, "About what..?"
Emiri sighed, "Hidan? Kiss her. She's been through a rough time..."
Hidan frowned, "Wy should I? OW!"
Emiri had smacked him again.
"FIne, fine..." Hidan sighed and pulled Hitomi over and close, kissing her passionately.
Hitomi frowned, but kissed back. He kissed at her tear stained cheeks and she sighed softly. She looked at him and forced a soft smile.
"Please know... when I said he wanted to kill me... I told the truth... I'm scared that he'll kill the babies too if he gets the chance..." Hitomi frowned, her eyes brimming with tears again.
Hidan glared, "NO ONE is going to kill my babies! Not you, not him, not anyone!"
"I don't want to kill them. They're my babies too... Hidan... to be honest if I had the choice to choose who these babies daddy was, I would've chosen you in a heartbeat... I swear on my life... I swear on Jashin's name..." Hitomi frowned softly.
That got Hidan to pay attention. Anyone swearing on Jashin's name had to be telling the truth. Hidan kissed her again before looking at Emily,
"Tell no one that there are babies on the way. Not Kakuzu, Not Itachi, Not Leader. Got it? This is secret. You need to help Hitomi so the babies survive... alright?" Hidan had a serious tone.
Emiri nodded, "Promise."
"Good... now head back so no one suspects anything..." Hidan let Emiri go.
Emiri left them alone and Hidan hugged Hitomi, "Baby... just know that... I love you..."
Hitomi nodded, those were the sweetest words she'd ever heard out of his mouth. Even if he was a jackass at times she knew he had it in himself to say things that meant something.
Now she just hoped the babies would survive long enough to find out how great their daddy was.
