Chapter 7
By the time Kaneki returned to the apartment, Hide was already waiting for him.
Kaneki walked into the kitchen where his mate was cooking dinner. He gently kissed Hide's neck and smelled Hide's mate mark.
Hide gently reached back and pet his husband's hair. "How was work?"
"Good."
"I got your dinner in the microwave. I took the chill out of it, like how you like.
Kaneki kissed Hide. "I love you."
"I love you too." Hide smiled and watched Kaneki retrieve his plate from the microwave and sanitized the microwave for Hide's future use.
Kaneki sat at the table and ate with his husband. "So," Kaneki finished a bite and looked up at Hide.
Hide looked into Kaneki's eyes. They were both so beautiful, one was silver and the other an activated kakugan.
"What did you and Akira talk about?"
Hide grinned mischievously. "I'll tell you later, promise."
A knock sounded at the door and Kaneki sighed.
The half-ghoul hated the CCG, they were constantly cutting into his and Hide's alone time.
Hide answered the door.
It was a scientist in a white lab coat. He held a small capsule containing Kaneki's nightly prenatal medicine.
Hide thanked the doctor and walked back to the table and gave the medicine to his mate.
Kaneki groaned. "I hate these things."
"I know." Hide said and rubbed Kaneki's shoulder. "But will you take them? For me?"
Kaneki took a big swig of water and took the medicine quickly.
"Good boy."
Hide watched a movie after dinner as Kaneki leaned against his chest, reading a horror book Hide picked up for him when the CCG let Hide out to get some things to make the two more comfortable.
Once the movie finished, Hide stretched and kissed the top of Kaneki's head.
The two got ready for bed.
As Kaneki was in the shower, Hide removed a small microphone and ear piece from his work suit's jacket pocket. He clipped the microphone discreetly onto his pajamas and put the ear piece in "Akira?"
"I can hear you loud and clear." Akira responded through the headpiece.
"Can I do the confession in the bedroom?"
"Yes. There are plenty of cameras. Plenty visual."
"Good." Hide sat on the bed he shared with his husband.
"We are on standby to pull you out if anything gets hairy."
"Got it."
Kaneki stepped out of the shower and walked in. He wore black slumber pants, but wash shirtless exposing his toned ab muscles which Hide noticed were slowly beginning to disappear, it wasn't too evident, but it was a slight thing Hide could see about his mate's pregnancy.
Hide held out is arms to Kaneki, wanting to hold him.
Kaneki sat in his lap and nuzzled his neck. "You okay?"
Hide rubbed Kaneki's back, massaging the area on his back where the Kaneki's kagune resided. "Actually, I need to tell you something."
Kaneki looked at Hide, unsure and slightly nervous.
Hide calmly explained everything. He started with what happened when the two first got there, all the way from the fertility drugs which made Kaneki horny to the removal of coffee and the addition of prenatal vitamins being added to Kaneki's daily diet because Kaneki was pregnant with his child.
Kaneki was silent and refused to look at Hide, staring at the floor. He pushed out of Hide's arms and sat on the bed beside Hide.
"You okay?" Hide asked his husband.
"Get out." Kaneki said softly, refusing to look up at Hide.
"Ken, I…"
"Get out!" Kaneki screamed.
"Ken," Hide began to argue, but watched as Kaneki activated his kagune. The rinkaku lashed out and stabbed through all four cameras within the bedroom, killing the live feed.
"Hide," Akira said through the headpiece, "Get out of there."
Hide disregarded Akira and pulled Kaneki into a hug. He pushed Kaneki's nose into the mate mark on his shoulder.
Warmth overtook Kaneki as the smell of home and the feeling of comfort drowned him in a sensation of unconditional love. But even then, Kaneki could not stop his tears. "Please," Kaneki whispered, "Get out."
Hide kissed Kaneki's forehead before leaving his mate in peace.
Akira, followed by some guards barged into the apartment and found Hide in the living room.
"Thank god, you survived." Akira muttered.
Hide hugged a pillow to his body. "He wouldn't have hurt me. Besides, I am the one who hurt him first." Hide had tears in his eyes. He covered his face. "I hurt him so badly."
Akira walked over and gently rubbed Hide's shoulder. "It's okay. I'm going to check on Kaneki now."
Hide wiped his eyes and nodded as Akira walked back to the bedroom to check on Kaneki.

Hide didn't realize he fell asleep on the couch. This was the first real fight the two really ever had. He walked down to the bedroom and found Akira watching over Kaneki who was sleeping in bed.
Akira stood. "I am going to leave you two alone." She whispered, not wanting to disturb Kaneki. She pointed to the newly installed cameras in the walls.
"Thank you." Hide whispered.
Akira left and Hide sat where Akira use to be.
Kaneki opened his eyes and looked at Hide.
"How long have you been awake?" Hide asked.
"Well before you and Akira switched places."
Hide looked down at his hands. "I'm… I'm sorry."
Kaneki looked at Hide. "Are we really having a baby?"
Hide nodded. "I would never lie about something like this."
"I trust you."
"What's wrong?" Hide asked, noticing how sad Kaneki seemed.
"Hide, it's going to be part ghoul, like me. And it will be born in the CCG's care. What if it has a miserable life because of us?"
Hide reached over and took Kaneki's hand. "I have been assured that both for you and our future child's life and protection."
Kaneki gently touched his stomach, there were no signs of his pregnancy.
Hide held Kaneki and gently reached down and kissed Kaneki's abs. "We can do this. We will have a baby and it will be the best baby ever!"
Kaneki laughed softly.
Hide kissed Kaneki. "I love you."
"I love you two." Kaneki said and returned the kiss.
