I do not own Bleach.

Hey! I'm back with that Ikka/Yumi Mpreg fic I promised you all! I hope you all enjoy it and support it as much as you did my other two Mpreg fics. There are two other fics ahead of this one, but you do not have to read those two if you do not wish to. The first one is called "How Do You Choose?" and it revolves around Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake. The second fic is called "Letting Go of Pride to Bring New Life" and it revolves around Renji Abarai and Byakuya Kuchiki. I will put notes at the bottom of the chapter for those that do not want to read the other two fics but also do not want to be confused.

Okay, I also want to thank the people who reviewed and faved the last chapter of my RenBya fic. So here are the special thanks: blood87 for reviewing, Kyuumihaira for reviewing, EzraTheBlue for reviewing, Fox-Sin for reviewing, Jazzybella for reviewing, lilasin101 for faving, ELR1 for faving, Brilha Brilha Estrelinha for faving, RedCr0w for reviewing, Guest for reviewing, .754 for faving, Kay Leo for faving, Kuramagirl26 for faving, Nox Lupine for faving and following, Sauri555 for faving, Vincent Claudius for reviewing.

Also, if you guys enjoy Bleach Mpreg you should check out EzraTheBlue's new IkkaYumi Mpreg fic called "Fight For What's Worth". It is based around the Mpreg fics I have already written. I gave this author permission to use some of the things in my fics for their fic. If there are some similarities then that is just a coincidence and not intentional. It's a really awesome fic so definitely check it out!

Okay, happy reading!

Yumichika Ayasegawa, the fifth seat of Squad Eleven, sat on the futon he shared with his lover and partner Ikkaku Madarame. He was alone for the moment seeing as the aforementioned third seat was escorting the lieutenant, Yachiru Kusajishi back to the Captain's quarters and hadn't made it back yet. The raven haired man lets a sigh pass his lips as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out what looks to be a neatly wrapped piece of hard candy. Yumichika knew that it wasn't hard candy and he also knew that he should be ashamed for swiping the lozenge from Kuchiki Manor when he was visiting with Renji the other day. He'd asked to use the restroom while there and found it while snooping in the cabinets. Yumichika knew what it was because Renji had wrenched it away from Yachiru one day and explained to her that it wasn't candy. When questioned about why they still had one of the lozenges, Renji had said that they received two just in case the first one didn't work. The redhead also said that he and Byakuya kept the extra because even though the sixth captain had sworn he didn't want another child they didn't throw it out just in case.

The clear wrapped lozenge looked innocent enough as he examined it through the wrapper. It was difficult to believe that the golden colored lozenge could actually produce a mock uterus inside the male body and produce an egg just waiting to be fertilized. The fifth seat lets out another sigh imagining that the lozenge might taste like honey considering the color. He really didn't care what it tasted like to be honest…he was really trying to distract his mind from what he was about to do. He knew he shouldn't even be considering taking the lozenge because he hadn't talked to Ikkaku about them having a baby…recently. He'd tried to talk to his lover about it several times, but every time he brought up the subject Ikkaku either shut down or got angry and they never got anywhere with their discussion.

Yumichika knew Ikkaku didn't want a baby, but for the past year and half having a baby with the third seat was all that occupied the dark haired shinigami's mind. He was torn between consuming the lozenge right now and dealing with the consequences later or trying one more time to talk with Ikkaku about it. Before he has time to think on it, the decision is made for him as he senses Ikkaku's reiatsu coming toward the room. Yumichika quickly shoves the lozenge back into his pocket just as his bald lover walks into the room.

"Hey, babe…why're ya still dressed?" He gives his vain lover a once over and frowns, "I thought you were gonna change clothes while I was takin' the lieutenant back?"

Yumichika forces a pleasant smile onto his face as he looks at his lover's face, "I was going to do that, but I let my thoughts get away with me and I suppose I'm still sitting here."

A confused expression wrinkles the third seats forehead, "What are ya thinking about? Is everything alright?"

For a split second, Yumichika thought about bringing up the subject of having a baby, but just as quickly as the idea came to mind, he dismisses it. It was far too late in the night to bring that subject up and they both had to be up early for squad duty the next day. Instead, he shakes his head and stands up from the futon, "No, nothing's wrong…I was just thinking about what I might eat for breakfast tomorrow." He then walks toward his lover and puts his arms around Ikkaku's neck, "But since we're both still dressed I figure we can help undress each other and shower together."

A devious smile forms on the larger man's face at the fifth seats idea, "I think I like that idea, babe."

"I thought you would." Yumichika tries to forget about the lozenge in his pocket as he brings his lips to touch lightly against Ikkaku's lips. He then steps back and takes his lover's hand before leading them both toward the bathroom.

The next evening, Yumichika finds himself staring at his recently slapped hand before his violet eyes travel to the lozenge lying on the floor of Rangiku's quarters, "What the hell, Rangiku?! Did you just slap that out of my hand?!"

"Are you out of your mind, Yumichika?!" Her wide eyes dart from the lozenge on the floor back to Yumichika, "Is that what I think it is and have you talked to Ikkaku about this?!"

Yumichika gives the Squad Ten lieutenant an annoyed glare and an even more annoyed sounding growl as he bends down to retrieve the lozenge, "I am perfectly well in my right mind, thank you very much." He slips the lozenge back into his pocket before addressing her other questions, "And yes it is, but no I haven't…or at least not successfully."

The large busted lieutenant flings herself ungracefully into a chair before letting out an exasperated sigh, "You cannot possibly be considering having a baby! You just can't! Have you even thought this all the way through?!"

"I've thought about it enough and I would appreciate it if you would keep your voice down." He crosses his arms over his chest and frowns, "I'd rather the entire Seireitei didn't know about it before I even properly talk to Ikkaku about all this."

She sits up a little more proper in the chair before giving him a serious look, "Haven't you even thought about how much you'll ruin everything?"

An expression mixed with offense and confusion gather on his face, "Excuse me? Everything being…what exactly?"

An even more offended look plays across her features as she dramatically stands up, "How in Soul Society are we going to go shopping and give each other manicures and gossip about people and get wasted together if you're dragging a baby around?!"

The fifth seat's mouth drops open in shock before he angrily places his hands on his hips, "Oh, well pardon me for thinking you would be concerned for my safety during it all!"

"I haven't forgotten you, sweetie." She walks closer to him and places her hand on his stomach, "Just think about how fat you'll get…and stretch marks! How can you even consider doing this?! You'll ruin your figure forever!"

He slaps her hand away from his abdomen and turns his back to her, "I had already resigned myself to getting fat and I feel that it's something that I can reconcile once the baby is born." He turns back around with a sad expression on his face, "I was more concerned with getting to that point considering I haven't been able to talk to Ikkaku about it yet. I was hoping you could help me think of ways to bring the subject up without upsetting him, but you are obviously more set on thinking of all the ways that my future baby is going to be a buzz kill!"

An apologetic look appears on her features as she takes Yumichika's soft hand into her own, "Oh, honey…you know I was just kidding around. I can't wait for you to have a baby and it will be so cute and we can dress it up and…"

He pulls his hand out of her grasp and gives her a stern look, "Save it, Rangiku. Can you help me out with Ikkaku or not?"

"I don't know? He's very stubborn and he never has listened to me." She gives him a defeated look, "Have you tried to talk to him about it?"

The raven haired shinigami lets out a sigh as his shoulders slump, "That's the problem. Anytime I've tried to talk about it he gets mad and tells me I'm being stupid. Then he either pretends to go to sleep or storms out angry and only comes back after he's smashed at three or four in the morning."

The blonde contemplates the situation for a moment, "And he never gives you a reason why he doesn't want a kid with you?"

Yumichika shakes his head making his black hair swish around his face, "No, he just says he doesn't want a baby and the idea is stupid. Then he throws in all this stuff about being in the eleventh and a bunch of nonsense before finally getting mad. Then we argue and he won't sleep in the same futon with me for a few days and pretends like I don't exist until he's not mad anymore."

The lieutenant frowns, "I'm afraid that I don't know how to help. This isn't exactly my area of expertise, but I'm sure you'll think of something. You and him have been together for as long as I can remember…surely you've dealt with more challenging issues before, right?"

Yumichika shrugs, "I suppose, but none of those things fall anywhere into the category of having a baby." He lets out a depressed sigh, "I just don't know what to do."

Rangiku looks at her friend's upset features for as long as she can stand and finally takes his hand. This time he allows her to hold it without pulling away, "I don't like to see you looking so sad. Let me do your nails…that always makes you feel better."

The fifth seat knew having his nails done wouldn't make the situation any better, but he also knew that none of this was Rangiku's problem so he puts on a fake smile and nods, "You're right…it does always make me feel better. Thanks."

After having his fingernails and toenails done he did feel a little bit better, but he only felt physically better. He actually was more mentally confused with what he needed to do than ever before. He wanted to talk to Ikkaku about them starting a family, but he dreaded it at the same time because he knew it wouldn't accomplish anything. He finally makes his way back to his room and when he walks in he realizes that Ikkaku isn't there. He looks around the room a bit before remembering his lover had to stay a little bit later to make sure the new recruits finished all their training sets.

Yumichika sits down at the table and once again takes the stolen lozenge from his pocket. Maybe, Rangiku was right…maybe he hadn't thought this through enough. If he actually talked Ikkaku into this, he wouldn't be able to spend his afternoons shopping and drinking and he couldn't just spend lazy days getting his nails done. He shakes his head, those things were foolish compared to having a baby with the man he loved. He'd never seen Renji happier and he had never once seen Byakuya smile, but all the photos in their house depicted a very happy smiling family. The eighth and thirteenth captain's seemed very happy as well and their daughter was so beautiful it made Yumichika want to cry.

He wanted Ikkaku to want this too. He wanted to fill their place up with pictures and have a beautiful baby for people to be jealous of. He wanted to have a baby with Ikkaku and he just couldn't risk Ikkaku saying no. The fifth seat nervously pulls the two ends of the clear plastic wrap covering the lozenge and finally pulls the candy from the wrapper. His heart pounds as he brings the honey colored lozenge closer to his mouth. All he had to do now was open his mouth and drop the lozenge in…it was simple wasn't it?

Surely, he wasn't a bad person for doing this without Ikkaku's permission. He was in the eleventh squad and the eleventh always took what they wanted. It was no use, he knew what he was doing was wrong, but he had to at least try to convince himself that he wasn't betraying his best friend and lover. Finally, he closes his violet eyes and slips the lozenge into his mouth. After several minutes of forcing himself not to spit it out, the lozenge finally dissolves completely and Yumichika is left sitting alone wondering if he would come to rejoice or regret his decision.

TBC…

Okay, here are the helpful hints: If you're going to read "How Do You Choose?" or "Letting Go of Pride to Bring New Life" this may spoil some things for you, but if not then read away.

1. This is how the male pregnancy is even possible...

The male that will be carrying the fetus has to get a lozenge made by Captain Kurotsuchi. The lozenge is ingested and forms a temporary womb until the pregnancy is either terminated or carried to term. The lozenge also forms a blank egg waiting in the artificial uterus to be fertilized. The effects of the lozenge last for a week and the results are more potent the sooner fertilization takes place after the lozenge is ingested.

2. Also, this fic takes place about a month after "Letting Go of Pride to Bring New Life". This makes Shunsui and Jushiro's daughter a little over a year old (maybe about 16 months old) and Byakuya and Renji's son a little over 2 months old at the beginning of this fic.

3. If you don't read "How do you Choose?" or "Letting go of Pride to Bring New Life" I will fill you in on some things...

Shunsui and Jushiro's baby is girl and her name is Emiko. She has black, curly hair with Shunsui's eyes and Jushiro's pale skin.

Renji and Byakuya's baby is a boy and his name is Takahiro. He pretty much looks like Renji's mini-me.

Once again, thanks for reading and I will update as soon as possible.
