The day after the baby shower, Zetsu returned to the Immortal duo's home. Hidan and Kakuzu followed him to his and Phox's base. In their basement, Konan, Kisame, Itachi, Hametsuki, and Sasori waited. They gathered in a circle and Zetsu left them to babysit Tobi.

"Now that most of us are here," Phox appeared from the shadows, "We need to find a way to fake our deaths so that you all can properly raise your children. Chances are there will be many close calls once we pursue the Jinchuuriki. I'm not too worried for Kakuzu and Hidan although the rest of you; especially Itachi, will be difficult." She paused as Hidan raised his hand, "This isn't the academy, Hidan..."

"Who the fuck is gonna watch our children after we fake our deaths? It will be awhile before we can actually return to them while we're off chasing Jinchuuriki or putting up a show of chasing them."

"Wow... you really do have a brain..." Konan blinked, "I'll be taking care of them with Phox and possibly Kabuto or Orochimaru's help."

"Where will we stay after we get our babies back?" Kakuzu asked.

"My secret village, of course." Phox rolled her eyes, "Anymore dumb questions?"

"When will we know to fake our deaths or how?" Kisame questioned.

"Simple. I shall tell or signal you." She explained.

"If we don't get this signal?"

"Then I suppose you die and leave your poor brats behind." Phox laughed, making Hametsuki cry.

"Bitch."

35 weeks into Hidan's pregnancy, he was sitting up in bed, waiting for Kakuzu to finish his dinner when his children started to squirm more than usual. Hidan frowned, rubbing his stomach as he tried to relax. They stopped just before Kakuzu came back in. He rose a brow at Hidan's expression then joined him on the bed.

"Babies were just moving a bit much." He explained, leaning on his partner.

"Kabuto said he would be doing the c-section soon..." His partner murmured, rubbing his own hand over Hidan's swollen belly.

Just then, they heard the boulder to their home move. Kakuzu sighed and got up to great their guest, leaving his head gear behind. He was unsurprised to find Kisame, Sasori, and their loved ones there as they had been stopping by quite often. He was surprised to find Orochimaru there though. Kabuto, whom had been living with them since a week after the shower, had apparently left with Phox to fetch him as he was the best medic they had.

"You're doing the cesarean so soon?" Kakuzu blinked.

"Yes. We thought it best to get both twins out now." Orochimaru explained, brushing past him.

"It's not even been nine months." He frowned, hurrying after.

"Close enough." Kabuto shrugged, leading the others to Hidan and Kakuzu's room.

The Akatsuki remained outside the room whilst Orochimaru and Kabuto started the operation. Kakuzu stubbornly refused to leave the pair alone with his husband and stayed by his side. He stood at the bedside as Orochimaru pulled out a scalpel.

"You like pain, right?" He asked, placing the blade above his newly acquired room.

"Just get it over with, snake." Hidan huffed, placing his hands behind his head.

Outside, Itachi covered Hametsuki's ears as Hidan began to curse. Kisame and Sasori snickered while Deidara paled, clutching his own stomach. Kakuzu watched, hiding a snicker, as Hidan complained about being cut open. He usually had no problem when he practically shredded the immortal's entrails. He wondered then if it was because he was pregnant that his tolerance for pain had been taken from him by Jashin.

Only once Kabuto nudged Kakuzu and pointed out Hidan's new organ did he break from his thoughts. He swallowed bile as Orochimaru carefully made another incision in said organ. Hidan had already placed a pillow over his head. Out came a child and Orochimaru asked if Kakuzu wanted to cut the crying child's umbilical cord. He nodded, and did so before Kabuto led him and his child to a cleaning station he had set up. Eventually, Hidan removed the pillow and took a deep breath before asking about the child.

"It's the girl, Hidan-chan." Kakuzu answered his barely audible question.

"And here comes the baby boy." Orochimaru smirked when both parents—and Kabuto—sent him a glare.

"Eh? Is it out yet?" Hidan asked impatiently, again hiding his face.

"It's out but..."

–

"Why isn't the baby crying. Surely they got them both out by now?" Itachi fretted, holding Hametsuki close to him.

"We heard one already and it's quieted..." Kisame said, staring at the closed door.

"Do you think there was a problem?" Sasori inquired.

"Oh, poor Hidan-chan, hm." Deidara sighed, leaning on his danna for support.

The four adults watched until the door opened. Orochimaru was quiet and expressionless as he made his leave. Inside, Kabuto gave a small bow and headed for the hall. He ushered the crowd back and told them to give the new family time alone. He said nothing more and hurried after his master.

–

"Oi, we need to think of some fucking names." Hidan drawled, cradling his newborn daughter.

"I can't remember which one we-"

"I wanna name the girl Shikari." He interrupted Kakuzu whom was cradling their quiet son.

"Fine. I guess I'll call him Moku since he's silent." The elder said, looking down at his bundle.

"Moku-Moku~!" Hidan sang out with a laugh, "I like it."

"Hidan..." Kakuzu shook his head then sat on the bed.

"What?"

"I love you."

"Tch. Really?" he rolled his eyes, sarcastic and then smiled, "I love ya too. Now hand Moku over, damnit."

"Yeah, yeah."

After they had traded children, they called the others in. Hametsuki clung to her father, trying to peer over the bed and look at the babies. Itachi and the other adults—save Sasori—sighed in relief once they realized both infants were alive.

"What's their names?" Deidara demanded, holding a hand out to Moku.

"Boy is Moku and the girl's Shikari."

"'Moku' as in 'Mokumoku'?" Hametsuki wondered, recalling all the times her dad had begged her to be silent.

"Yeah, he didn't cry or anything when he came out. Kabuto thought he was a stillborn until I cleaned him off and he pulled on my cheek stitch." Kakuzu smirked, pointing to a loosened string.

"Aww. That's so cute, hm." Deidara swooned.

"Don't mind him, it's his hormones." Sasori assured the others.

"Well boys... congratulations."

Yay! They're born at last! *head slams on pillow*

Oh, and I will be putting up a colored picture of the twins and their parents on my deviantart account. (catbleu is my username). You can find a link on my profile.

The next chapter will be smut and my last before I put this story idea on Hiatus. Once the Hiatus is complete, we move on to part two so stay tuned~!

I will also change the title some point during my Hiatus.

I might make the part two chapters longer too.

Don't forget that there are other stories you can check out until I finish the hiatus!

Thank you all for your generous support and I am sorry I did not get to thank you all properly.
