31: Preferences

As Uta cuddled the sleepy baby, you presented your finger to him. And true to his word, he was careful and took only a taste.

"I only took a lick of you. I'd say my self-control is pretty good." Uta whispered.

"That was a tease. Give me my baby. I want to hold him." You shifted and made a spot for Yukizou on your bed.

"Aw, but you always get him!" Uta whined as he gently laid him next to you.

"I made him and carried him and feed him and love him. So I get to." You kissed his soft baby cheek and cooed at him.

"Do you want to have son or a daughter with me?" Uta asked quietly. It seemed like he was too excited to sleep.

You chuckled. It was kind of cute, actually.

"Twins. A boy and a girl. Sounds fun." You rubbed the fleecy, pajama covered stomach of your baby.

"I don't know any twins, unfortunately, so I think your chances are slim. But yes, it would be fun to have three babies at once, wouldn't it?" He placed his hand over your own.

"I guess another son then." You thought out loud.

"Really? Why?"

"Bah, I don't know what I'd do with a girl. Plus then people act like I have to give her all new clothes and stuff. And I know I don't but I don't want to hear about it. And I wouldn't want to force her to wear all her brother's stuff either if she didn't want to later in her life." You explained.

"Oh, so you've actually thought about this?" Uta was touched.

"When I first found out I was pregnant. I thought I'd have a second child eventually with my ex."

"What happened?"

"He got... hurt. And we couldn't have any more children. That's when he changed. So I put it away in my mind. Which was fine, because really Yukizou is all I need."

"But..."

"But?"

"But now you've changed your mind?"

"I think it's to many people's benefit for me to have another baby. And so I'll give it a try." Yukizou began rolling around in his sleep and you had to shield him from the edge of the bed. "Could you put him back? I don't want him to fall."

"Of course, YN." Uta replied sweetly.

"What would you want?"

"Zero preference. I just want a baby." He shrugged and laid back down on the floor.

"That's fair. I figured that by now; you're not very subtle."

"I know. I can't help it."

"Why not adopt a baby yourself?"

"A ghoul adopt a baby? A male ghoul? Unlikely that they'd let me." He sighed.

"So you thought Itori would be a good surrogate?"

"Well, I thought she'd be sensitive to my plight and then she'd just let me have the little nugget. But no, of course not." Uta huffed and he placed his hand on the bed, which you took and began playing with his fingers. "Yet, here you are. Good timing."

"Hmm. It seems so." You voice began to drip with sleepiness. "Happy to try to help."

"I'm sure you are, YN... I'm sure you are..."
