Screams rang throughout the Soul Society as Maya Abarai gave birth to her two-month early daughter. With Renji holding her hand and Captain Kuchiki supervising the birth, Maya got through the birth a bit easier. There was only one problem, Ichigo Kurosaki, the father of her child was no where to be seen. Ichigo left two weeks earlier with Kenpachi Zaraki and Toshiro Hitsugaya for Hucedo Mundo in an attempt to defeat Kingfisher. Toshiro and Kenpachi returned yesterday; without Ichigo, only Zangetsu.
"Alright Maya, you're the proud mother of a beautiful, baby girl." Byakuya whispered as Maya held the crying newborn.
Byakuya has had a crush on Maya since he could remember. But in all those years, she had never looked more beautiful. Just as Byakuya was taking his leave, he heard Maya call his name," Yes Maya?"
" I want you to be Alessa's father."
Byakuya was stunned, but he walked over and laid his hand on the back of Alessa's head, " Of course," he murmured as he stared down at his strawberry blonde haired daughter, " I'd be honored."
