A/n so this is like set at the time of the turn back to pendulum, which in this fic. All is well and peaceful. I know Ukitake's has lots of brothers and sister so I'm deciding he's like an only child and Unohana as well. Both of them come from a Noble family. And I got really inspired of writing this fic. Because of Anego (J-drama).

In the Squad four barracks it was a bit peaceful because of vacant hospital beds and all of the members were in the Squads Canteen. There was a special table for the seated officers from 16th to the vice captain. The captain of the division was in the office sitting on her desk. Putting aside's the meal that was prepared for her. She was doing her share of the paper work because maybe tomorrow she may go her monthly trip to the mountains to collect her medicinal herbs.

But there was a knock at the door. She ordered whoever it was to enter then slowly a familiar figure appeared.

"Mother what brings you here?" She stood from her chair with a serene expression and faced her mother.

"How has it been Retsu?" Her mother asked while walking to the chair facing Unohana desk. Unohana followed her mother and placed both of her hands in front of her.

"It's been good Mother, might I ask again what brings you here?" Unohana demanded with a gentle tone

"Retsu, do you have time for this evening? Me and your father would like to discuss to you about something"

"Well, the wards are not so full, Of course I have time" Unohana said glancing at her mother and smiled.

Her mother began to stand up and dusted off her sleeves "I will see you after dinner time then" and her mother smiled at her and left with a hurry. Leaving Unohana with slight Confusion, She went back to her desk and started finishing her Paperwork.

When it was dusk Unohana filed her papers and placed it on the top right corner of her desk and took the untouched food from lunch and went to the division's kitchen. When she went there nobody was in sight she walked to the sink and placed the tray there. She did an early round in her division. She passed every room, some were empty and some had at least two occupants. Her walk led her to the division's main exit she went outside and looked at the clouds above she sighed and flashed step to her manor.

At the same time

Ukitake was facing his parents in the tea room his jaws were slightly open from the news he just received.

"M-marriage?" Ukitake said with a surprised tone. He was facing his parents in the opposite side of the low round table.

"Yes Jushiro, Marriage; it has come to our attention as you are getting older and your sickness is worsening so now that it is still early we want you to produce an heir" His father said with a demanding tone.

Ukitake smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head "Umm... this is... But I am an adult now. You're treating me like a teenager"

"Well Jushiro we gave you time but still you do not have a wife and please consider. You are our only son" Ukitake's mother said pleadingly

Ukitake gave out a big sigh "I Understand. With my sickness and my age getting old, if I do agree just if, I will agree to marrying who will it be?" Ukitake said raising an eyebrow

"Well this is why we requested you here, we shall go to the bride's house immediately" His mother said while standing up

Ukitake sighed in defeat, it's not like he turned down these women who his mother would drag him along, but it was the Academy days. When he became captain the interviews became quite less often and it reached to the point where his mother did not even bother but now she is very desperate.

When Retsu arrived at the Unohana manor she was ushered by the governess and lead her to tea room in the middle of the garden all the sliding doors were open there were two low round tables placed in the middle of the room. Her parents were sitting on the left one and she gracefully seated herself in front of them.

"It is good to see you father, Might I ask what do you wish to discuss with me?" Unohana said

"Ah, that Retsu well our advisers said that some of the council members said that they might over-throw us because the heir to Unohana house has not produced a successor yet".

Unohana Inwardly breathed "And do you expect me to Marry?" she said with half lidded eyes

"Yes, Retsu, that is what I want you to do as a woman and as a daughter" His father said with a slightly raised tone.

Unohana slowly picked up her cup and raised it to her mouth and sipped a bit and placed it down carefully "I do not want to"

"Are you going mad Retsu, think about this do you want to be an old maid? As a woman you have to produce children" Her mother said

"Please Retsu you do not expect to be alone for your whole life" Her father said

Retsu lowered her head "I don't expect to be alone..."

"Then are you finally willing Retsu?" her father said.

"I suppose, but do not expect me from keeping away of my position as captain even if I do have a family" she said closing eyes and with a tone of no expression.

"I'm a glad we came to an agreement, well the man is coming here right now" her father said with a happy tone.

Retsu kept her eyes closed "I see" and kept on closing her eyes a few moments passed and the door carefully opened and formal greeting were exchanged from both of the couple then she heard a rustle of clothing and a person sat right next to her, it surprised her that he had an incredible spiritual force.

She carefully opened her eyes which showed both their parents still standing up at the entrance and carefully turned her head and was struck with great surprise.

"Ukitake -tai-cho" she said with an awestruck tone

"I too am a bit surprised myself Unohana -taicho, I thought it would be one of those aristocratic noble girls" he said lowering his head "Its seems as if our parents are treating us like teenagers" he raised his head and gave her a sheepish smile.

"I do so agree" she said

When the parents were finally seated Jushiro's dad began to speak

"Well, as I see you already know my son, Retsu -san so there is no need for an introduction, I have already spoken with the captain-commander and he has agreed with your marriage and as soon as you give birth to your child we have assigned an expert caretaker to watch over the child"

"Uhm, so Unohana -taicho, are you agreeing to all of this" Ukitake said everyone in the room was waiting for Retsu's answer.

Unohana silently rose from her sitting position she stood in the middle of both of their parents and gently bowed "I do not mean to be rude but I am now going, give me more time to decide" and hastily left the room.

Jushiro smiled to himself and gently stood up, "I too shall be taking off and same as Unohana –taicho, give me time to think" when he was outside the door he flashed stepped away.

Leaving their parents.

"Sorry about that Reo, Jushiro is just a bit over-whelmed" Ukitake father said

"And my apologies for my daughters actions Nagami, she will come to her senses" while the men were talking the wives were in a corner in the room somewhat talking about something

"Neh neh, my Retsu -Chan and your Jushiro would make such beautiful children" Retsu's mother said excitingly.

"They really do, but what if they don't agree Susume?" Jushiro's mother said

"Don't worry about that Hinko I am rather confident that they will come to their senses, but...

They need a little push don't they Hinko?" Susume raised a questioning eyebrow

"Of course they do, I don't want this chance to slip out of my finger" then both of them laughed and started talking about how to.

When Retsu exited the gate of their manor and flashed stepped to her house in the fourth division. She opened the sliding door it was nigh time so it was a bit cold. She closed the door behind her and placed her captain's cloak on the rack. She went inside her room not even bothering to light some candles because it was a full moon tonight. The window in her room glowed because of the moon brightness. She went inside her room; it was an average size room with a twin-sized bed in the middle and a dresser in front of it. And a few cabinets with books and a small closet for her clothes. She sat herself on the dresser looking at the woman in-front of her, she cupped her cheeks and though to her 'This face won't be like this forever' and she started to weave her braid that the length was just below her chest. She took out a brush and started brushing it. Once she was done she changed into her nightgown and slept.

Jushiro's eyes widened he wondered why Unohana left in a hasty retreat. He was now left alone with his parents and Retsu's Parents. He had to admit it was a bit awkward being inside that room. So he left early leaving both of their happy parents to discuss matter over. He decided to visit his friend Shunsui.

When he went to the 8th division, he found Shunsui drinking sake in his balcony overlooking the fields. The moon was beautiful it was reflecting on the Koi pond. He silently sat down right next to him. His friend noticed and in the corner of his eye he looked at Jushiro.

"The night if lovely Ju-chan. Why the long face" and he took a sip of his sake.

"I want to tell you something Shunsui and you are the first one to know about it except my parents" he said and poured himself a cup of sake.

Shunsui raised an eyebrow "Give it to me then"

"I'm planning on getting married" he took a big gulp of sake

Shunsui choked a bit when he regained a bit "*cough* what? To who?"

And took a sip again

Jushiro sighed "You might now expect it but its Unohana -taicho"

Now Shunsui spitted his sake again but to the grass "My, my Ju- Chan that's a bit unexpected" and patted Ukitake on the back.

"Say, Shunsui didn't Unohana -taicho go to the shinigami academy together with us? I sometimes saw her in the library"

"Well she was rather cute so I asked her out but she just glared at me and I could not breathe! Still now I am a bit scared of her but, she is very beautiful and very kind if you don't offend her"

"But how come I never notice her in the academy?"

"Well she has a knack of hiding her spiritual pressure"

"I see"

"Jushiro has someone to showoff now" Shunsui said with a sigh

He looked at Shunsui "What do you think of me? I do not want to treat her as a Trophy wife, I want to respect her and make her not regret marrying me but she wants more time think about it" Jushiro said and looked down on his cup.

"As expected of the Ukitake, always the gentleman" he said

"But are you willing to marry her whole heartedly?" Shunsui asked

"I don't know I might admit, I myself am a bit confused, my parents are right my sickness is getting worse and... I'm just a bit confused"

"Well this is against my belief that you should marry someone that you truly love but, do you love her?"

"Well I like her but, I can try to love her along the way can't I?"

"It's not up to my decision Jushiro but, I hope you will pick the right choice" and took out another bottle of sake from his sleeve. He raised it up a bit "Now we have a reason to celebrate and don't worry I'm sure she won't turn you down"
