Chapter 1 :- Stuck
"What am I going to do" as she looked at her two friends Rangiku and Rukia the test was showing the result she didn't want, it was positive and her relationship with Ichigo was the complete opposite.
"Orihime you have to tell him this is Ichigo" as Rukia topped up her wine glass
"I can't he is not going to believe me he would think I am just after his money" she turned to look at her other friend who was now cackling on the floor "Rangiku this is no laughing matter this is serious"
"I know Hime but that is a good one after his money my dear have you seen the zeros behind that seven on your bank account, girl please I have come to your house plenty of times I have never drunk cheap wine yet. Look if he thinks that I need to marry him" as she stood and joined Rukia in the kitchen to top up her glass as well.
"Look Orihime I know Ichigo he may have a temper but under all that billionaire bluster is a man and you just need to let him know and ignore this drunken idiot here, whatever you choose I got your back and plus you have that SBA Meeting at the end of the month who knows he might be there".
"Okay you know what this might be a false positive I will go and see Retsu Friday clear this up and then I will know where to go from there until then not a word guys AGREED" as she stood and looked at her friends " I am waiting for an answer ladies" as she joined them at the bar.
"Agreed not a word" Rukia said as she placed her glass on the counter .
"What are you guys looking at me for I won't say anything" as the three stood in silence.

Another busy day had ended at IMK Holdings with another five million added to his gross revenue Ichigo stood looking out the large ceiling height windows of his office while sipping on a glass of aged scotch which he did after every successful merger, then his thoughts were broken when his door opened and his partners Chad, Ishida and Renji came in "Congrats gentlemen another successful merger and another hundred thousand yen to keep the bank" Renji said loudly as he topped up Ichigo's glass and pouring three more.
"Cheers gentlemen never would have gotten here without you guys to you" as Ichigo raised his glass guzzled down the scotch and coughed lightly as it burned on the way down.
"Now we have to focus on the SBA Meeting this month" said Chad as he unbuttoned his suit jacket and sat in his chair with Ishida and Ichigo at the coffee table they affectionately dubbed the Round Table as Renji headed over with the ice bucket and the bottle of aged scotch.
"Don't remind me Chad why is it you guys never volunteer to go to this I get bored last year was a nightmare" Ichigo complained as he opened his Land binder with the contract that was sent over from IBS Cargo for him to sign and one of his partners as he scribbled and dated "You know the drill" as he pushed the contract in the middle of the table.
"I think it is my turn you two already have a cargo company" as Chad slid forward and placed his glass on the table while his hand glided over the contract and pushed it back to Ichigo.
"Who knew that by 33 we all would be here guys with all that we want well some of us" Renji said as his phone started to ring.
Ichigo got up and went out to his assistant Nanao who was busy booking their flights and meetings for next week he came back in his office "Was that Rukia" he asked as he rejoined his partners and closest friends.
"Yep she says hello and she wanted me to remind you that you still haven't responded to her invitation for her dinner next week?" as Renji finished his drink "Well gents I will see you tomorrow what do you want me to tell Rukia" as he got up to leave.
Ichigo took a deep breathe like he usually would before any big business transaction "I will be there but I have to leave early I think I will double check with Nanao"
"Well since we are finished here I think I will call it quitting time" Ishida said "Moriya is probably getting worried".
"Go you guys with your wives and fiancées" as they all filtered out of the office and headed their separate ways.
….
It was Friday the day that was long in coming Orihime was in Retsu's office waiting for her to be called back in to hear her results. As she sat in the waiting area and strangely enough she wasn't worried about the results she was more concerned about how was she going to tell Ichigo if she was pregnant but that train of thought went bye bye when her phone started to ring it was Rukia.
"So what are the results ?" Rukia asked anxiously
"I don't know yet"
"Well when you do let me know and don't forget to get a copy for your file here at my office, I will see you after work no matter the results" as the line went dead before Orihime could protest.
"Ms Inuoe the doctor will see you now" as she stood and headed down the corridor.
