A/N: Alright people I'm back and ready to rock! See I told you that I'd post the first chapter of the sequel very, very soon. Anyway, here it is, the sequel to Always There! Thank you Raye Lynne for suggesting that I shorten my original title a little! I was going to call it that but I wasn't sure so you and your suggestion helped me decide to do it after all thanks! I honestly tried to do a good job and I hope you all will like this story just as much as you liked the first. Also, there are going to be a few more OC's in this one then the last but only because they need to be there for the sake of the storyline, because I NEVER do pointless OC's and I don't really like it when people put too many oc's in at once ( I will try my best to avoid doing so.) Anyway...thank you so much for sticking with me, enjoy, please review, and here I go......

" Old endings equal new beginnings." ~ Kazeek

" Move it people and I mean move it now!!!! You all must be the slowest members in the fourth division! Do you want her to die because of your inability to rush to the emergency room?!!" came the voice of a very annoyed and angry Isane Kotetsu. She and a few other fourth division members were pushing a hospital bed to the emergency room at top speed, the figure covered in the soft white sheets.

" No ma'am! We most certainly do not ma'am!" they replied quickly lest they suffer her wrath.

" Then move your legs!! and I mean right now!"

Moving even faster than before they finally reached the emergency room and laid the figure down on the waiting bed. Everyone quickly scurried to their positions, put on gloves, and mentally prepared themselves for their on coming job. Isane quickly took charge and gave out a few orders, then turned her attention to the figure upon the bed.

" Just hold on Hinamori-fukutaicho! We're almost ready, is there anything you need? Anything at all, what ever it is you shall have it!"

" S-Shiro-chan.....I need....Shiro-chan..." Momo gasped heavily, her body dripping with sweat.

" But Hinamori, I'm not so sure that-"

" I need Shiro-chan!!" Momo gasped again, this time a little louder to get the point across.

" Alright people you heard her, call Hitsugaya-Taicho to the fourth division at once! Tell him his wife needs him and she needs him now!" Isane shouted to some other fourth division members who were beside the door waiting to send a butterfly to anyone necessary.

" Ma'am yes ma'am!!" they shouted in unison while relaying the message to the butterfly and sending it out to find the receiver.

In the tenth division's outside training grounds:

" Flash across the silver heavens....Raihyourinmaru!"

At the wielders command the brilliant dragon of lightning appeared. It's roar shook the trees all around it until it ceased and bowed to it's master. Toushiro had been training since the crack of dawn at the tenth divisions outside training ground. He and Momo now lived a little inside the woods of Soul Society in a large Japanese style house. It had everything their house in the world of the living had except for the giant flat screen T.V. and everything in their normal house was a bit smaller than in the living world as well. Yamamoto had agreed to them living there because he knew they both liked peace and quiet and the house was only inside the forest by a few feet anyway and was easily accessible if need be.

The dragon crouched down behind it's master, it's claws landing squarely in the dirt, and then lowered it's head to receive a pat from Toushiro.

" Lets go Raihyourinmaru."

" Yes master." the dragon answered. Even though Raihyourinmaru was Hyourinmaru in another form Toushiro still called him by the form he was currently taking. Hyourinmaru then asked Toushiro to call him by his original name except when he wanted to release a different form. Toushiro agreed and was about to start training again when a butterfly flew toward him.

Toushiro stuck out his finger and the butterfly landed, it then began relaying it's assigned message. " Hitsugaya-Taicho, you are requested at the fourth division immediately. You will meet Hanatarou out front and proceed from there. Please hurry, it's urgent." with that the butterfly flew away.

" I wonder what's going on. They hardly ever send urgent message butterflies unless something terrible has happened. It couldn't be, what if it's.....Momo!!"

Toushiro instantly put Hyourinmaru back in it's sheath and rushed toward the fourth as fast as his legs would take him. On his way he ran into Ichigo and Rukia, who upon seeing his face asked what was wrong. Toushiro replied by telling them he didn't know but he was pretty sure it had to do with Momo.

" Well what are you standing here for? Go help your wife!!" Rukia said kindly. " Ichigo and I will meet you there in a little while."

" Alright." Toushiro answered, but then took off as fast as he could once again.

" I wonder what's wrong. He normally knows exactly what's going on but this time I could tell he absolutely didn't have a clue. What do you think Ichigo?" Rukia asked her husband, much to Byakuya's dismay that is.

" I don't know Rukia, I just hope Momo's okay....."

Upon reaching the fourth, Toushiro met with Hanatarou who told him Momo had requested his presence in the emergency room. Without hesitation Toushiro broke through the doors and headed for the emergency room. That is until some poor shinigami stopped him from progressing any further.

" I'm sorry sir, but I can't let you go in there."

Inside the emergency room:

" Your husbands on his way Hinamori-fukutaicho. Just hold on a bit longer!" Isane pleaded trying her best to ease the woman's pain.

" S-Shiro-chan.....where are.....you?!!"

Outside:

" You idiot! My wife is in there! Let me in this instant, I'm the Taicho of the tenth division! You have no right to hinder my way!" Toushiro yelled at the shinigami who dared to oppose him. " If you don't step aside I will report you to the Soutaicho himself."

" I'm sorry Hitsugaya-Taicho! My orders are clear. Report me if you wish but I have been assigned to guard this door at all cost and that is exactly what I'm going to do." the shinigami stated ever so boldly.

Toushiro's patience was growing thin. His reitsu became visible and a death glare was sent towards the poor man blocking his way. If there was a time to be a loyal shinigami or a polite gentlemen who was trying to see his wife, it was not now.

" Listen to me you pompous idiot!" Toushiro hissed. " Stand aside now or become an ice sculpture for the rest of your life!!" but still the stubborn man would not budge.

" Shiro-chan!!!!!!!!!" came Momo's agonized scream from the room before him. That was it, Toushiro immediately knocked the guy out and smashed through the doors to the room.

Inside the emergency room:

Once Toushiro entered the room realization hit him hard. He was instantly at Momo's side holding her hand while she offered him a tried smile.

" Shiro-chan....your here." she wheezed while stroking his face with her shaky hand.

" Of course I'm here, I'm sorry Momo I would have come sooner if it weren't for that exasperating door guard." he answered rubbing her hand ever so gently.

" It's okay.....Shiro-chan....you're here now."

Toushiro gazed at Isane who understood instantly and told her assistants to put up a barrier around Momo's upper body that was sound proof. Once it was up she got into position along with Unohana and the others, the time was finally here.

Momo began to hiss and moan in pain, causing her to grip Toushiro's hand and squeeze it tightly. Toushiro lowered his head and gently placed it against hers whispering soothing words in her ears. Making her smile through the pain and her tears.

" I love you so much Momo. I know it hurts but you can do this, I know you can."

" A-and I love you......Shiro-chan."

" Shhhhhh Momo, don't speak. Just look at me, breathe and squeeze my hand as hard as you like. We can talk when this is over, and don't worry I won't leave you." with that said Toushiro kissed her and wiped all her tears away gently.

" I k-know you won't Shiro-chan.....ah!......you never have."

For many hours this same cycle continued. Upon hearing the news from Ichigo and Rukia Rangiku, Gin, Kira, Renji, and Byakuya, along with the two informers of course all rushed to the fourth to see what was going on.

" Do you know what's going on Kira?" Renji asked upon arrival and setting himself in the waiting room that was also filled with his Taicho, Rukia, Ichigo, Kira, Rangiku, and Gin.

" How am I supposed to know? I came here with you so I'm just as lost as you are!" Izuru answered.

" Does anyone know why Momo is in the emergency room and Taicho was summoned here so quickly with an urgent message butterfly?" Rangiku questioned. She still refused to call Gin just Taicho but after a while she at the least started calling him Ichimaru-Taicho. Much to his disappointment.

" I'm afraid we don't." Rukia answered truthfully.

" Yeah, we just ran into Toushiro on his way here and he didn't seem to know why he was called either." Ichigo added.

" Well then I guess we'll just have to wait and see won't we?" Renji replied.

" Indeed." came Byakuya. " Let us just hope it is because of something good and not bad."

" I sure hope everything is okay, it'd be awful if Momo died on us or something like that." Kira said only to be suddenly smacked by Renji.

" No one asked for your negativity idiot! Kuchiki-Taicho just got done saying how everything will be fine!" Renji snapped at a now cowering Izuru.

" Technically he said let's hope everything will be fine." Kira replied flinching.

" Oh shut your trap Kira!"

" Well he did get you there Renji." Rangiku pointed out. " Isn't that right Ichimaru-Taicho?"

" Yep, she is right ya know Abarai- fukutaicho."

" Aw not you too Ichimaru! Fine I'll drop it, I just wish we knew what was happening!"

" And that's exactly what I'm here to tell you." came Unohana's calm but tired voice. " There's no need to worry any longer, Hitsugaya-Taicho is with Hinamori in the recovery room. They will come out in time."

Everyone sat down once again as Unohana filled them in on what was going on. And when she was done everyone, including Byakuya, cheered happily.

In the recovery room:

Momo was lying on the hospital bed along with a very tired Toushiro. She was holding two bundles wrapped in white sheet and she and Toushiro gazed at them lovingly. Little coos and cries could be heard as Momo unwrapped the sheets revealing two beautiful babies, one a girl and one a boy.

The baby girl looked exactly like Momo, her small chocolate brown eyes just opening for the first time to see the outside world. And the boy looked exactly like Toushiro except instead of starting out with flat hair like Toushiro did when he and Momo were living with their " Grandma" the boy already had his fathers spiky gravity-defying hair, complete with a tiny bang on his face. When he opened his eyes as well his turquoise orbs seemed bright with happiness as did his sisters at the sight of their parents and the outside world.

" He's got your eyes Shiro-chan." Momo said tiredly.

" And she has yours." he replied back while he kissed her and she kissed him back.

" What should we name your daughter?" Momo asked while looking at her little baby girl lovingly.

" How about Momoko? Because she looks just like her mother."

" That's not the only reason you picked it though, is it Shiro-chan?"

" Perhaps I picked it for the meaning as well." Toushiro joked. " Momoko, peach child, child of Momo. That could have something to do with it. Now what about your son?"

" How about we name him Toushiro as well? Would that make you happy Shiro-chan?"

" Please don't Momo."

" Why not Shiro-chan? Your name is a wonderful name."

" I know it's a nice name but the name Toushiro could have not only my name's meaning but it could also mean intelligent or prodigy child as well. And if he isn't a prodigy I don't want him to think we don't love him because of it. Do you understand?"

" I understand Shiro-chan."

" Thank you." Toushiro said as Momo kissed him softly.

Unknown to her husband, Momo looked at him with a very concerned look on her face. Normally a father would be proud to have his son named after him but Toushiro acted like it was a shameful name and unworthy to be used on their son, why was that?

" How about Toshiko then Shiro-chan?"

" Momo, sweetheart, isn't that a girl's name?" Toushiro asked.

" Yes, but isn't not for that it's for the meaning. Toshiko, the valued child. That way it's close to your name and he'll know that we will love him no matter what."

" Toshiko, I like that Toshiko it is then. Toshiko and Momoko Hitsugaya." Toushiro stated aloud trying to get used to saying their names.

" That sounds just perfect Shiro-chan."

The two parents looked at their kids lovingly until they were taken out of their trance by Hanatarou knocking at the door. " Um pardon me, but Ichigo and the others are outside and they would very much like to see the babies. If you two don't mind that is."

After looking at Toushiro to make sure it was okay Momo told Hanatarou it was alright to let them through. She knew Toushiro wasn't really one for huge gatherings but this was a special occasion so he let it slide.

Ichigo and everyone else entered the room quietly as not to wake up the sleeping babies. They all surrounded the bed gazing at the two small forms in wonder and excitement.

" Oh look he looks just like you Taicho! He's so cute! What's his name?" Rangiku asked happily in a whisper-like tone.

" Toshiko." Momo answered.

" Hey isn't that a-" Renji was cut off by Ichigo who instantly covered his friend's mouth.

" Don't say anything about it Renji unless you want to be a five month old Popsicle!" Ichigo whispered quickly to Renji lest he suffer the new father's wrath.

" And the girl?" Rukia asked politely.

" Momoko." Toushiro replied.

" Oh well she is absolutely adorable isn't she Ichigo?"

" Yeah she sure is." Ichigo replied.

" That sure is an ironic name for you two to pick considering it means peach child or child of Momo after all." Kira stated kindly.

" Well I think both children's names are very nice." added Byakuya.

After everyone, including Isane and Unohana offered their congratulations and saw the two newborns, they all left, leaving the two parents to enjoy the peace and quiet. The two held the two babies between them and sung a lullaby to them softly. Momo and Toushiro both took in the obvious fact that they now had a family, and an absolutely amazing family at that. Momo was now a mother, and Toushiro a father, and a very proud one indeed.

" Good night.....my children."
