A/N: This is my apology for not writing for a while… and only writing crappy stuff… Sowwy . Oh! And many thanks to my wonderful beta, Thief Of Black Winged Hearts, who puts up with my crazy ramblings on the bus in the morning and fights her way through my weird stories… Thanks Sham Wow!

OMG, Merry Madagascar, that little girl in the house was SOOO cute…

"Wah! Don't pull my hair, you meanie!" the six-year-old little girl slapped away the little boy's hand.

"But… you're annoying," the boy stated, as if it should have been obvious.

"How old are you anyway?" she demanded.

"I… How old are you?" he demanded back.

"I asked FIRST!"

"Did not!"

"Well, I did. But I'll tell you anyway. I'm six," she said proudly, holding up five fingers.

"Well, I'm seven," the boy declared smugly.

"No you're not. Mommy told me." She poked him in the chest. "You're six too. In fact, you're NINE MONTHS younger than me."

The boy frowned, caught in his own lie. "Betcha your mom didn't tell you how she an' your dad met," he said after a pause.

She bit her lip nervously. "No, she didn't. Did yours?"

"Yep. Tons o' times." He held out his arms as wide as he could, which for a six-year-old, was pretty wide. "THIS many."

"Whoa." Her eyes went wide, clearly impressed. "That's a… bunch."

He crossed his arms. "They met when they were…" he paused, seemingly for dramatic effect, but really because he had forgotten, "fifteen." He watched her lean forward, interested. "Well, actually, Daddy was. Momma was kinda older. Cause she's a shinigami." The girl nodded.

"Momma was hunting Hollows. She noticed a strange presence-"

"Presents? Like Hanukkah?" she asked him.

"No, you wingnut. Presents like your birthday," he corrected. "Anyway, so she followed it and ended up in Daddy's room. Then a Hollow attacked and she gave him her powers. Then she got sent to jail for doing that."

"Oh no!" The girl put a hand to her mouth, her blue eyes widening.

"Then Daddy saved her. Because he loves her," he clarified. "They love each other very much. Then, a lot of other adventures happened! Then, one day, the shinigami stork brought me!" He spun around, eyes closed.

"That… is… so… COOL!" the little girl whispered. "Guess what? I play soccer!"

"That's dumb." He folded his arms. "I can't play soccer."

"Why not?"

"Because I can't see out of my right eye. So I'll fall."

"Oooohhh. Can I poke it?" she asked excitedly.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Cause I said so." He stuck his tongue out at her.

"My momma's gonna have twins. Babies," she told him happily.

"You know why she's having more babies?" asked the boy.

"Uh…no."

"Because they hate you so much, they wanted new ones."

The little girl thought for a moment. "Hey," she exclaimed. "That's really MEAN!"

"Do you think we should be concerned?" asked Orihime, rubbing a hand over her stomach as the four adults sat at the kitchen table. Ishida held her other hand and smiled.

"Ichigo," Rukia said, as they watched their son Yorume duke it out verbally with Sorashiro, "maybe we shouldn't have Captain Hitsugaya babysit Yorume anymore when we're gone…"

END

A/N: In case you're wondering:

KUROSAKI YORUME [Yorume= Night Eye]

Male with black spiky hair. He has Rukia's eyes [violet] and is blind in the right one, has been from birth. He's short. He's kind but short-tempered.

ISHIDA SORASHIRO [Sorashiro= White Sky]

Female with long black hair. She's like a girl version of Uryu, but is pretty. She has Orihime's clumsiness. She's tall, has blue eyes, and is really smart.

ISHIDA KIRA & MOMO [the so far nonexistent twins]

Tall with Uryu's eyes. They have caramel hair and are both rather tomboyish.
