He gave birth to twins.

The first born a girl while the second born a boy. Wei Wuxian didn't allow himself naming their kids, knowing damn well that he'd probably name them something stupid and silly that'd ruin their reputation growing up so, he hands off the big responsibly of names to Lan Wangji.

Lan Wangji was still shaken up from the birth, probably getting trauma from all the pain he had to watch his husband endure, pushing out not one BUT TWO creatures out of a whole that nearly anything other than. Than.

"I want Wei Ying to name at least one kid so it'll be fair",

he announced quietly, thinking it's unfair that his husband gets to name none of their children while being in do trouble and pain for the last 8 months.

"Alright, alright. Then um," Wei Wuxian looked at both the babies Lan Wangji was holding in his arms.

"is it possible for me to name our daughter.. Yanli??" he asked tentatively and slowly looked at the husband.

Lan Wangji gave him a secure look and softly nodded. He knew how much Wei Ying loved and treasured his sister.

"Lan Ratatoing", Lan Wangji breathed suddenly.

"Excuse me?" the other answered with a wide grin, taken aback and confused.

"His name. The younger one's. Lan Ratatoing"

"YOU WANT TO NAME OUR SON RATATOING? And here I am thinking that Hanguang-Jun would want to name him after uncle Lan Qiren or or Lan Clan Ancestors!" he asked in disbelief.

Getting no response his expression changed and started laughing. "HAHA! Hanguang-Jun!! Who would've thought you also know how to joke. So fun, so fun!"

Lan Wangji looked at the babies worryingly, afraid that the other's laugh would wake them up, but thankfully they remained asleep.
"Wei Ying, I'm not joking"

Wei Wuxian's laugh died down and looked serious towards Lan Wangji's direction. "You're not? Are you sure, husband? Why do you want to name our child Ratatoing? Help this one understand"

Lan Wangji signaled his man to extend his arms and passed him their son. Then, he said in a manner as if nothing happened,

"Take a look at him. He looks like a rat"

Wei Ying gasped, "Lan Zhan! You can't say that!", and dramatically closed the son's ears. "Baba is lying, don't listen to him little one"

They ended up naming him Lan Ratatoing either way.

--

Lan Ratatoing was a loud baby while his older sister was a quiet baby. Wei Wuxian does not mind the loud noise for there is always a reason behind it.

In fact Wei Wuxian from time to time teases Toing-A into crying a little bit for it is best to work out ones voice...although of course he was still young and managed to make only noises.

Lan Wangji, on the other hand, cries with the babies. Whenever the younger one starts crying, Lan Wangji is crying with him. Wei Ying found it adorable, thinking his husband was also his baby that needed love.

Most of the time Hanguang-Jun took care of changing the underwear cloth of their twins while Wei Wuxian played his flute with Lan Wangji softly humming along with it. A melody which only he and Lan Wangji knew, passing onto their newborn twins.

"I'm looking forward to when they are older and ah we could go night hunting together as a family."

Wei Wuxian said in a low voice full of joy and looking down at their precious sleeping twins. He can just picture it now. Wei Wuxian's eyes half-closed, a bright smile on his lips, and he hopes that this happiness will last.

Lan Wangji hugs Wei Wuxian from behind and arms wrapped around Wei Wuxian's waist.

"I really hope this lasts, Lan Zhan" Wei Wuxian whispered very softly, but it was still heard and he puts his hands on top of Lan Wangji's hands. "I don't want it to end at all."

"It won't end, Wei Ying." Lan Wangji said quietly into Wei Wuxian's right ear. "We will always love you" Wei Wuxian smiles and squeezes his man's hands, knowing he referred to their babies and him self.

"I always feel so safe, comfortable, and happy with you. I'm glad I was able to give birth and we can raise these little ones together."

They shared a chasteful goodnight kiss and went to sleep exhausted.
