Chapter 1-An Unexpected Surprise
Ichigo Kurosaki lay in his bed staring at the ceiling and waiting for his boyfriend, Byakyua Kuchiki, to get home from work. Ichigo had some very important news for the older male. There was a faint whimpering sound that could be heard down the hall, he got up and made his way down the hall to the first room after you passed through the kitchen. He peered into the room where a once sleeping baby girl was now awake and playing with her tiny toes. Her eyes scanned the entire room before coming to rest on the orange-haired man standing in the doorway.
"Hey there precious, did you have a good nap?" The baby giggled in response to Ichigo's question and reached her chubby fingers to grasp his shirt as he picked her up. "I think Byakuya's gonna like you, you're to adorable not to like." They moved into the living room and he played with her until he heard the door to his lover's car slam.
Byakuya sighed as he slammed his car door shut. It had been a long day and he just wanted to eat and relax with his beautiful beau. "Babe i'm home!" He called. He smiled when Ichigo appeared in the entry way to the living room. His eyes scanned up and down his body stopping when he noticed the little pink blanket in man's arms. "Ummm love...whose baby is that?" He saw the baby was adorable with her big brown eyes and curly dark red hair.
"She was left on our doorstep after you left for work this morning. There was a note attached to her blanket...here." Ichigo handed him the note and bounced the baby as he read it.
Dr. Kuchiki and Mr. Kurosaki ,
Please take care of our daughter. Her name is Tora. She is four months old. We can not provide for her anymore and we know that the two of you can give her a more loving and stable home. In the bag we put formula, two bottles, a pacifier, baby monitors, and clothes for her. We will be sending the rest of her stuff to you tomorrow. Please treat her like she is your own child.
"So... I guess we have a childnow."
"We can do it." Ichigo placed a hand on Byakuya's shoulder and pushed him into the direction of the living room. He pushed him down on the couch and handed him Tora.
"Play with her while I fix dinner."
Byakuya felt awkward holding Tora, even though he deals with babies everyday at work. He gazed down at the baby girl and when he saw her eyes staring back at him, his heart melted. In his mind he saw Ichigo and him teaching her how to walk and talk, taking her to the park, taking tons of pictures when she graduates, and walking her down the aisle on her wedding day. "You know what I think I could get use to having a daughter," Byakuya whispered in her ear as he brought her closer to his chest and kissed her cute curls. "Come on let's go see what daddy's cooking." He got up from his position on the couch still holding Tora and made their way to the kitchen.
"Well if it isn't my favorite man and my new favorite girl." Ichigo moved from the stove and embraced his boyfriend and their new daughter."Go sit down dinner is ready."
"Where do you want me to put Tora?"
"Give her to me i'm not hungry right now so i'll hold her."
Byakuya handed Tora to Ichigo as he was given the food Ichigo made for them.
"You know-," Ichigo started to say, "Now that we have a kid don't you think we should all go out together? It's been so long since we did anything outside of the house."
"You're right, maybe we can do something tomorrow since i'm off."
"That sounds wonderful. What do you think Tora?"
She waved her arms around and gurlged making the two men laugh.
The rest of dinner passed in silence, both men thinking about the little girl they are now responsible for. Tora was now asleep and they made a little fortress surrounding her in the room she was in earlier, deciding that this will be her room. For five minutes the new parents watched her sleep before retiring to their own room.
"You know that I love you, right." Byakuya kissed Ichigo's lips.
"I know, and I love you too." Ichigo kissed him back.
Five minutes later both men were passed out in a dreamless sleep.
