My newest story:This is a story about Byakuya and Ichigo in hindsight by Ichigo through a third person point of view. (I'm not quite ready to tackle first person POV yet.) This story is told by Ichigo to the six year old boys, Ame and Haruhiko (called Haru). While there will be swearing and sexual scenes imagine those parts are omitted when he mentions them to the boys or he uses a different word for a curse word since they are little :).

I hope you enjoy The Making of Sunshine and Rain.

The Making of Sunshine and Rain

Summary: Haruhiko's question was simple, "Papa, do you a true love?" Ichigo's reply was "Yes." Ame's question was a curious one, "How did you meet?" Ichigo's answer began with "To be honest my beloved hit Papa when he was crossing the street." . A Byakuya x Ichigo fanfiction. Mentions Mpreg, yaoi with mpreg, drama and a host of guest couples.

Chapter 1: Do you have a true love papa?

On a warm day in early autumn, the leaves had just begun to turn colors giving the trees a canopy of yellowish orange and brown making it easy to note the seasons change. A cool breeze blew gently through a wooden play set and down a shiny metal slide as children played on plastic ponies, swung on swings and dug holes in the sand. Their laughter ringing clearly through the trees as little feet scuffled and clopped about.

A group of mothers sat off to one side discussing the latest fashion trends and gossiping. Some speaking about celebrities, others about the latests trends in children's clothing. Some speaking of what they would make for dinner that night. All the conversations happening at once gave the park a calm dull murmur that was quite soothing to the ears and warmed the heart.

A young man with bright orange hair gently excused himself from the group of mothers promising to return again tomorrow with his charges. The mothers of course sighed dramatically and wished him a good day after he insisted he could not stay a moment longer and they really had to be getting home.

The bright haired man gave them a flirtatious smile before turning to the playing children and funneling his hands around his mouth, "Haru, Ame, it's time to go home." He called waiting patiently for the children to present themselves.

In typical Haru fashion the brunette let out a pout from the swings. His shoulder length wavy chestnut brown hair flowed elegantly in the breeze as he launched himself off the swing set and landed a few feet away squarely on his feet before falling back onto his butt causing a small cloud of sand dust to flow into the air.

"AW MAN!" he shouted banging his fist against the ground. "PAPA, DID YOU SEE THAT?!" He shouted as he stood up observing the imprint his butt left upon the sand. The boy's curious brown eyes looked at his place in the sand. "I JUMPED LIKE 10 MILES!" he shouted praising himself as he moved to walk over to his papa.

Ame waved goodbye to his friends getting up and gently wiping the sand dust from his play clothes. He slowly made his way across the sandbox to join his brother and the bright haired man. "Papa, I'm hungry." He announced and motioned to be picked up.

Ichigo chuckled picking up the boy, "Of course you are Uteki, and it's time for lunch. Shall we go to Nue Station today too?" He asked already knowing the answer.

"KABOCHA KABOCHA!" Haru chanted as he took Ichigo's free hand and they made their way out of the park.

The three walked down the street from the park enjoying the light hustle and bustle of small town living. There was just enough traffic for things to seem busy but just the right amount of people for you to get to know your neighbors well. The three crossed a few streets and found themselves before a giant statue of a nue hand carved out of a slab of marble. The nue's baboon head held a fierce expression as its board chest formed back into a tigers strong striped body and ending with the head of serpent for a tail, the snakes tongue sticking out just so against the nue's left side. The nue stood protectively guarding the entrance to a small family establishment appropriately called, Nue Station.

"Welcome to Nue Station," the host began pulling out menus once the little bell chimed alerting the store to customers. "Ah, Ichigo how is the weather outside?" The young man asked with a kind smile as he ushered him and his children to familiar seats.

"It's cooler than it has been recently. It's comfortable outside." Ichigo replied as he set Ame down in the booth and moved to sit between him and Haru.

The dark haired boy looked up at the man, "Uncle 'Kichi, I wa Yakisoba wif shimps." He offered the cutest set of pure grey puppy dog eyes the two men had ever seen.

"Uncle 'Kichi, I wan tensoba exta kabocha!" Haru shouted after his brother. "Exta kabocha!" He exclaimed.

Ichigo put his hands on both their heads. "What do we say?"

"Peas." The twins shouted eagerly giving matching sets of puppy dog eyes.

"It's 'please'." He corrected them before looking at the menu, "I'll have cha soba today." he added ruffling his boys hair.

Ten minutes later three plates were brought out and the boys dug in with a quick 'Itadakimasu!'

"My they're getting big now..." A man with broad shoulders, bold black tattoos and long red hair said coming from behind the counter. "How's the soba?"

"Tha Besst!" the boys shouted with their mouths full of food.

"Oh I bet papa loves those table manners huh?" He teased Ichigo.

The orange haired man rolled his eyes. "At home they're little angels and they actually have table manners." he informed the red head. "It's just here they know they can have fun here." He looked around as Rikichi continued cleaning off tables. "So you getting ready for the dinner rush, Renji?"

"Yeah, that'll be in another hour or so so take your time okay?" The redhead said smiling at the younger man. "How have things been?"

"Busy you now, these two take up a good portion of my time during the day." He informed the cook. "I can still remember when I was a college student busting through that door to eat some soba before hopping the train to university. Man those were the days." He sighed, "And look where I am now..."

"I'm done can I go pway with Taka?" Haru interrupted as he ate all his tempura and left behind the soba. Ichigo rolled his eyes.

"Of course you can. Your Papa will call you down when it's time to go." Renji encouraged sending the boy off before sitting down across from Ichigo and moving to eat the boy's soba.

The brunette worked his way behind the counter and gone up a flight of stairs leading to the apartment above the store.

The dark haired boy watched his brother go and continued eating his soba. Ame began humming half way through his food.

Ichigo smiled as Renji looked on perplexed. "It's something he's started doing recently. If he really likes something he starts humming like that."

"Oh, Taka went through a phase like that. Every little thing that he liked he screamed at it. It gave Shuuhei and I quite the fright in the beginning but it passed eventually." He remembered.

The two sat for a while longer talking about the old days as Ichigo ate his soba and Ame sat quietly drinking juice. Slowly Ame's eyes began to droop becoming heavy with sleep as his little tummy was full. The boy wiped his eyes sleepily and let out a yawn.

Ichigo smiled, "Well I guess that's our cue to be heading home. It's about time to start prepping for dinner anyway." He added, 'Thanks for the soba Renji see you next time."

Renji waved, "See you next time." The red head disappeared upstairs and a few minutes later Haru came down the stairs with a brooding expression on his face.

Ichigo could tell the boy was thinking about something. "Is something on your mind Haru?" He asked knowing the boy wouldn't answer.

"No Papa, jus thinking." he replied cutely taking his papa's hand as they left Nue Station to head home.

The walk home was uneventful as they were greeted by the doorman and made their way to one of the elevators. Once inside Ichigo slipped his appropriate keycard and entered the passcode to take them up to their floor. By the time they reached the apartment Ame was asleep on Ichigo's back and Haru was dragging his feet. Ichigo put the two to bed and quickly set about to make dinner.

He decided the boys would eat chicken omelette rice with octopus shaped hot dogs and he'd prepare chigenabe for the adults. He set about making the stock and setting the rice cooker. He kept one eye on the clock and continued his preparations.

After some time Haru wandered into the kitchen, "Papa thirsty." he complained moving to walk to the fridge.

Ichigo moved over slightly and let the boy open the display door and reach for a small glass bottle with his name on it.

Haru took the bottle and had a hard look of contemplation on his face. His look was similar to that of his father's when he was thinking. His little brow knit together so cutely as his eyes focused on a spot.

"Is something on your mind Haru?" Ichigo asked again as he added some onions and mushrooms to the broth for the chigenabe.

"Papa, what's a true love?" Haru asked curiously.

Ichigo paused, what a strange question. "A true love is something special you only have once in a lifetime. It's someone you love more then yourself. Someone you'd do anything for. Why do you ask?" He replied looking at the boy.

"Taka was telling me he found his true love like his daddy and Uncle Shuu." He replied. "He says Sai is his true love."

"Oh my..." Ichigo replied thinking on the fact that Takahiro Abarai wanted to be sweet on Saito Sciffer. He could just see Grimmjow now. The boy was sweet but a bit off. "Well that maybe true sweetie but you're all awfully young to be worrying about finding true love." He advised.

Haru thought about this for a moment, "How old do I have ta be?" He asked curiously. No doubt he wanted an exact age so he could go back and tell Takahiro he was wrong.

"Well it depends," Ichigo tried to worm his way out of this situation. "Grandpa Isshin and Grandma Masaki found each other at different times, he was thirty five and she was twenty four." He offered. "But Uncle Shuuhei and Uncle Renji were in their twenties." he advised.

Haru thought about it for a minute. "Hm... so I have to be old?"

They both looked over as Ame walked into ther room sleepily rubbing his eye. "Papa..." he complained going over and wanting to be hugged by Ichigo. Such typical Ame, he was lucky the boy finally decided to sleep on his own futon, be it they were still in the parent room but eventually they'd migrate to their own room.

Ichigo picked up the boy and pat his back. "Did you sleep well, Ame?" he asked moving to get the boy's glass water bottle from the display door.

The boy nodded and drank the bottle of water happy he got his hug and then demanded to be put down.

The two boys looked up at their Papa as he continued to prepare dinner.

"Papa." Haru asked suddenly.

"Hm?" Ichigo asked not turning around.

"Do you have a true love Papa?" Haru asked curiously as he began to climb into his seat at the table to watch Ichigo cook dinner.

Ichigo thought about it for a minute. "Yes, I do we met when I was in college."

Haru's eyes lit up, "Oh?"

Ame looked up at Ichigo, "Papa, how did you meet?"

Ichigo looked at Ame, he smiled thinking back to that warm spring day as he was rushing to catch the train. He chuckled as he went to the fridge to pull out some beef to slice. "Honestly Ame, your Papa's true love hit him while he was crossing the street on his way to the morning train."

Ame and Haru's eyes widened comically wide.

Ichigo looked at them, "But Papa is okay now, and this is why Papa tells you to always hold hands and look before crossing the street." He added caution to his tale.

"But then what happened?" Haru asked curiously as he leaned forward on the table.

"Tell us Papa tell us!" They chanted as Ame got into his seat too.

Ichigo smiled, they had time still before dinner was ready, "Well I guess eventually every kid wants to know such a story..." He mused letting out a breath. He could surely tell them an edited version of the story "On a particular spring morning your Papa was running late-"

Chapter 2: The Accidental Meeting

Chapter Excerpt: The Accidental Meeting

Ichigo was rushing to catch the morning train, his bastard of a brother, Shiro had purposely turned off his alarm. No doubt payback for chasing Grimmjow out the apartment the night before . He was pissed as he ran down the street it was 6:48 AM he had less than ten minutes to make it to the station in order to board the train. He ran past a large park and down the empty early morning streets taking his chances and running through a crosswalk. He was making good time he was sure he'd make it.

He paused at the main street it was six lanes and even if it was empty it wasn't a sane idea to run across it. He saw the cross walk before him lit up to walk and made his way into the crosswalk when it happened. Ichigo felt a low thrust into his right leg and felt his balance waver. Before he knew what hit him he felt his body collide with warm unforgiving fiberglass and metal as he bounced onto the hood of a car and rolled off back onto the sidewalk. He laid their dazed and a bit confused, there was no way he was going to make it to his class today.
