I'm With You

"Toshi-ROU!" Karin yelled as she tripped and lost her balance.

"Hey be careful. Don't get yourself hurt!" Toshirou said catching her once again. He had been doing that a lot latterly. It seemed as if the pregnancy made Karin get clumsier and more prone to tripping. He helped her to the sofa and propped her feet up on a pillow. Karin started sniffled.

"What's wrong Karin?" Toshirou said placing his arm around her shoulders.

"I… can't see my feet! " She wailed.

"It's okay," He comforted her softly.

"No its NOT!" she wept into his chest. Toshirou patted her head to calm her down.

She placed her head against Toshirou's chest. Shortly, Karin gasped causing Toshirou to jump a bit.

"Toshirou!" she exclaimed.

"What happened?" He asked beginning to question her sanity.

"He moved!" She said happily pulling Toshirou's hands up her shirt and onto her swollen stomach. Toshirou felt a little push against his hands.

"She's … moving." Toshirou said in amazement.

"Not a she, it's a boy," Karin corrected. Toshirou disregarded her comment.

"Sure. Whatever you say Karin." He said moving his hands, trying to feel the little thumps again.

It struck Toshirou really hard. Very hard. He finally felt the realization fall upon him.

"I'm going to be a father?" he said aloud. Karin smiled as she gazed into his eyes. They were full of amazement. She kissed his nose.

"You sure are gonna be," she said kissing him again," a great daddy."

He kissed her lightly back and helped her off the sofa.

"C'mon. Let's get up to visit Unohana. It's your appointment."

Karin sighed as she held onto him and they strolled out of the place.

"Let's go."

Line

Toshirou was walking with Karin to Unohana's division, and Karin was holding onto his arm for balance. He stole a glance at her face. She had a very thoughtful expression on her face.

What could you possibly be thinking about now Karin?

Quick footsteps approached them from behind. Toshirou looked over his shoulder, but couldn't tell who it was.

"Hello there Nanao-San," Karin said turning around.

Nanao Ise walked up to them. She pushed her glasses up and smiled.

"How are you Karin-Chan?" she gave her a small hug. Then she patted Kari's belly.

"How's this one?"

Karin smiled," The baby is just fine. But what about you?"

Nanao chuckled lightly. "Oh you know the usual. Running after my Taichou, finishing paperwork, turning paperwork in for him, and stuff." She then turned to Toshirou. "How are you Hitsugaya-Taichou?"

"I'm fine."

"say Hitsugaya-Taichou, are you sure that it is alright for Karin-Chan to be walking around this much at this stage in her pregnancy?" Nanao asked as she saw Karin loose her balance for a second and then clutch onto Toshirou's sleeve.

"Hey! I'm right here you know! And I'm fine. If I get tired, Toshirou will carry me. Right Toshirou?" Karin said giving him a look, which scared him. Toshirou inwardly flinched.

"Of course I will."

"Well then please excuse me I have to go and find my Taichou. He left the office again and I really need him to sign these papers."

Toshirou answered her problems. "He went out drinking with Matsumoto. They are at one of the local bars."

Nanao raised her fist.

"I knew it! Thank you! I must go fetch my Taichou now!" she said as she shunpo'ed off.

Line

Karin was sitting on one of those hospital beds, as Unohana asked her question after question.

"Have you had any difficulties?" she asked Karin softly.

"Well, I haven't had anything major, just some bad dreams, and the fact that it is getting increasingly difficult to get up whenever I am sitting."

"Well that is quite normal. Now let's see," Unohana said flipping through a medical chart. "Hmm everything is fine except that you seem to be about 10 pounds underweight."

"Hitsugaya-Taichou, you need to make sure that she's eating enough." Unohana told him firmly.

"Hai I will." He responded.

"Karin-Chan are you still sure that you don't want to know the gender of the baby? I can still do a test."

Karin shook her head.

"I really want to make it a surprise."

"Very well. I believe that this concludes this visit. I want you to come visit me next week, at the same time, unless there are any complications. Alright?"

Toshirou helped Karin off the bed.

"Arigatou Unohana-San," Karin bowed as low as her pregnant tummy would allow her, which wasn't very much to admit.

"It's no problem," Unohana said as they left the room.

I have a feeling that something is coming, stay strong Karin and Toshirou.

Line

Toshirou was sitting at the table, finishing off paperwork that Rangiku had actually remembered to bring over. Karin was lazing on the sofa, fast asleep.

Toshirou had just finished signing off the last paper; he got up and stretched his arms. He got up and looked at Karin with a smile. He brushed her hair back with his fingers. He gazed at her lovely face. She had a very troubled expression on her face, with her eyebrows stressed. She was very tense when he had placed his arm around her waist to pull the blanket over the two of them. He moved his body closer to hers and looked at her face.

"What's troubling you Karin?"

Little did he know, Karin was having a nightmare.
