Ichigo rolled over in his bed and smiled. Rukia lay next to him, breathing peacefully in her sleep. He didn't think he would ever tire of that sight.
I could stay awake,
Just to hear you breathing
She always smiled in her sleep; he could tell if she was dreaming, by the way her eyes flickered and by the contented little noises that she made as she slept. Ichigo knew only too well just how lucky he was to have her; he knew that he didn't deserve her. Since the very minute they had met, he had surrendered his everything to her: his time; his life as a 'normal', ghost-seeing human…his heart. This was probably his favorite time to be with her: Watching her sleep, wondering what it was she dreamt about.
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life
In this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment
Forever
Well every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure
Ichigo smiled again and buried his face in her hair; even her smell was enough to make him happy. He pulled her gently to him and cradled her tiny body to his, though she wasn't quite as tiny anymore as she had been a few years ago, when they had first met.
Ichigo began to stroke her arm, laughing softly as Rukia gave a little sigh and a moan, shifting to lay with her back to Ichigo; he pulled her closer and kissed her neck. Rukia smiled again in her sleep. He didn't even want to close his eyes to go back to sleep; he didn't want to miss a single moment of the time he got to spend with the incredible woman cuddled up against him. Even if he were to dream about her, it just wouldn't be enough. No matter how sweet the dream, it could never compare to this, to be able to really hold her.
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Ichigo stopped stroking her arm and allowed his hand to rest on Rukia's chest, right over her heart, beating there. Beating for him. He shifted just a little and bent so that he could kiss her cheek, then her eyes, her nose, her lips, careful not to wake her. He thanked Kami that she had chosen him. He kissed her neck and rested his hand on her stomach, smile broadening into a grin.
Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment, forever
Forever and ever
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
He could feel the tiny little human inside of Rukia shifting, the tiny human that he had put there, right there, right inside her womb.
They had been married almost a year now, and she was now eight months pregnant. Ichigo had barely been able to contain his excitement when Rukia had come to him, sobbing, with the positive pregnancy test held out to him in her hand. They had been so afraid that she wouldn't be able to have a baby. Sure, she had given up being a permanent Soul Reaper, in the hopes of starting a family, but still…with her geigai, they hadn't been sure. And through all of the morning sickness, the midnight cravings, the baby keeping her up at night, constantly kicking, Rukia had never stopped smiling. Occasionally, she would burst into tears all over again. At first Ichigo had been afraid that her hormones were getting to her, but she said that she was just so happy that she couldn't help it. Ichigo had treated her like a porcelain doll, as if her were afraid that she would break, and obeyed her every wish, making her as comfortable as her pregnancy would allow. He still did that, holding her to him constantly, kissing her at every possible moment, making her smile as often as he could.
I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you
Just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Rukia moaned and her eyes fluttered open.
"Mmm…Ichigo?" she asked groggily; Ichigo say up a little and kissed her, moving his hand up to rest again on her heart.
"Did I wake you up?" he asked.
"Mmm…no." Rukia grimaced. "The baby's kicking." She smiled up at Ichigo in the dark. Taking his hand from her chest, she rested it on her lower abdomen. Ichigo grinned broadly against her neck as his baby kicked hard at his hand.
"I don't think he likes sharing," he murmured into her ear; Rukia laughed.
"Well, he's just going to have to get used to sharing," she said. "Because I want to have Daddy with us, too."
Ichigo grinned. "Say that again," he said.
"Hmm? Say what?"
"Call me that again."
"What? Daddy?"
"Yeah."
Rukia pulled Ichigo to her for a kiss and smiled against his lips.
"Daddy," she whispered.
Ichigo grinned. "I really am going to be a daddy, huh?"
"Mmm…yeah." Rukia lay back down and yawned. "You're going to be a daddy."
Ichigo smiled again and pulled Rukia close; she rolled over to face him, and he could feel the baby still kicking as her big stomach bumped against his abs.
"I love you," she whispered; Ichigo kissed her again.
"I love you, too, Rukia."
"Hmm…" Rukia sighed as she fell back asleep, despite the baby's insistent kicking.
"I love you," Ichigo whispered again, kissing her temple; he placed a hand between them, where he knew his tiny son's head would be, and stroked Rukia's swollen abdomen with a soft smile. "I love you."
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Ichigo smile one more time before reluctantly closing his eyes. He had work in the morning, and he had to go if he wanted the best for his tiny family of two, soon to be three.
"I love you," he murmured. "I love you both." He kissed Rukia one more time before drifting off to sleep, holding her tightly, his hand still on their baby.
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss a thing
