Disclaimer: I don't own bleach nor do I claim it. I own a bottle of bleach but not this. However this story is mine: Even if I'm borrowing the characters. I thank Tite Kubo for not suing me.

A wonderful gift

There we were, together hand in hand, waiting for the new that could change our life forever. It's been at least three hours since we'd arrived, at the kirosaki clinic. It has been quiet except the tick of the nearby wall clock, and the regular thump of Ichigo's pacing. This, unbearable, silence was finally broken by ichigo.

"I can't believe this happened."

"We don't even know if it is true or not." I said as I looked up at him. He looked at me solemnly.

"If it wasn't true then we wouldn't be here now." I looked down at my hands lying in my lap as the bitter truth took hold.

"Yes, but we have to be strong," I slowly lifted my eyes to meet his, "no matter the outcome especially now that …" I noticed someone standing directly behind him.

"Sit down ichigo."

"Dad, how is she."

"Please, sit down." I could hear the serious tone in his voice. ichigo was still standing so I motioned for him to sit down. He complied wordlessly and sat down next to me. I couldn't help but be scared so I grabbed his arm in an effort to calm me down. He moved to break my grasp, but I wouldn't let go.

"I have finished the test and…"

"What! Tell us!" I could tell that ichigo was anxious just like me.

"Ichigo!" he calmed down upon hearing this. "Hrm… well now, back to the result." I became very anxious as he opened the envelope.

"The results of the test are positive, I'm sorry yuzu, you're pregnant." I couldn't contain myself tears started to spill over onto my cheeks, but ichigo was the only thing holding me back from completely losing it.

"I can't believe it." Ichigo started to rise but I held to him tightly, yet he still broke my grasp.

"It's just un-fucking-believable!" he said as he passed dad.

"Ichigo, wait sit down, we can work this out." He said as he grabbed ichigo's shoulder. He turned.

"Just leave me the fuck alone… I need to think." I tried to say something, anything, to make him stay but he was gone, and I finally broke down crying.

"Dad… I-I don't know… what to d-do." He tried to console me but it didn't help. The only thing on my mind was how it began. It was about three months ago, when I was awaken by the sound of running water.

The day started out pretty normal, even though I wished I had stayed in bed, but the plans I made didn't allow me to. I had to go to orihime's eighteenth birthday party. She pestered me for a month to see if I was coming to it. I didn't plan on it but my family wanted me to. Yuzu even brought the gift, a little pendant like her hairpins. I thought it was a little tacky. But I didn't want to piss her off so I didn't say anything about it. Before I left I had to take a shower. That was my first mistake.
