((AN: I just got this random idea in my head one day, so I typed it up and posted it so you all could read it. Yes, I'm still working on my DBZ and ToS stories, so don't worry. I'll get it done. Ok, this extra story of my Bleach one-shot takes place a year after the final fight with Aizen and Ichigo didn't lose his powers. I know he gets his Soul Reaper powers back after the whole Fullbringer thing. But this is my story and I'll change it up if I want to. Hope you all like it. :) ))
Xxxxx= speaking lines (if there is no-name next to some speaking lines, that's Matsuri talking.)
Normal= Matsuri's POV
Oh yeah, forgot to say this before…..I DO NOT OWN BLEACH!

Location: Soul Society (Head-Captain's Meeting Room)
'Captain Unohana…What is the condition of Matsuri Kudo?' -Head Captain Yamamoto
'She is perfectly healthy physically and mentally…..But emotionally…..' -Unohana
'What do you mean Captain Unohana?' -Hitsugaya
'Matsuri Kudo's emotions are stable…Her staying at the Kuchiki Estate has helped in her recovery and in taking care of her child. But from what she has told me…her mind wonders. To tell anymore would break my promise to her Aunt and I gave her my word as a Doctor.' -Unohana
'What about tha' kid o' hers? There anything odd 'bout it?'-Kenpachi
'The child is healthy and its development is just alittle faster then a human child, but that's because of its Hollow genes.' -Unohana
'In order to even have a chance at survival, they develop as fast as their bodies can allow. From my research, it's rare for child to be born let alone see one in Hueco Mundo.' -Shinji
'But what is the child, a Soul Reaper, an Arrancar, or a Visored like Kurosaki?'-Sui-Feng
'That's just it, Matsuri's child is ordinary. There's nothing special about it.' -Unohana
'It's the child of an Arrancar and a Soul Reaper. O'course it's special.' -Kenpachi
'The only thing that makes that child special is because it was born from the union of an Arrancar and Soul Reaper. We won't know if the child will have powers similar to the father or the mother until it's older.' -Unohana
'Or the child could have powers that are nothing like its parents in the end.' -Shinji
'Then we will watch over the child, but Matsuri Kudo will be the one to raise it. We will ask Matsuri Kudo when the time is right if she wishes for her child to enroll into the Soul Reaper Academy. You're dismissed.' –Head Captain Yamamoto
*Kuchiki Estate*
I have been living at Captain Kuchikis Estate for a year now, all at Rukias request. Captain Kuchiki (Rukias older brother) agreed and that's what happened. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you something amazing, I'm a mother now! Just four months ago I gave birth to a baby boy; he is the most adorable little guy. He has the same shade of hair and eye color as his father but he has natural high-lights that are the same color as my hair. Another thing he got from his father was cat ears and tail (the same shade of color has his hair); guess there's no denying who his father is huh.
I still remember Grimms and everyone else's reaction for that matter when they found out about the baby. It was the most hilarious thing I have ever seen in my life, well besides when my baby was born. Anyway, I'll tell you what happened after Gin "let the cat out of bag".
*Flashback*
'When were you going to tell us about the "lil' bun in the oven" huh?'-Gin
And just like that, my world came to a grinding halt….no not really, but now everyone in the room was now looking at me in shock. Then Orihime hugged me out of nowhere and was congratulating me on being a mother.
'How far along on you Matsuri?' –Orihime
'Uh..um…well…I'm about a month along…' At that point, I was looking at the floor after Orihime ended her hug. It was so quiet in the room that you could have heard a pin drop, and just like that we heard someone hit the floor. We all looked and saw that, of all people, Grimmjow laying on the floor….unconscious and pale…. I honestly didn't see that coming.
After that, Ulquiorra helped me get Grimm back to our room and left him on the bed (Orihime followed us). I said bye to them and decided to take a nap on the sofa to pass the time. About two hours later, I started to wake up and felt a hand rubbing my stomach softly. I opened my eyes and saw Grimm kneeling in front of me, so he was the one rubbing me stomach.
The look on his face made me happy to be a mother; he had this loving expression that was mixed with amazement. I guess he wasn't expecting me to wake up because he looked at me in shock after I placed my right hand on his.
'When… did you find out?'-Grimmjow
'About a week ago while I was staying with Mr. Uruhara at his shop. I wanted to tell you earlier but, you know Aizen called that meeting. So, what do you think about this Grimm? Are ya happy about with this?'
He didn't say anything; he just stood up from kneeling, picked me up and walked over to the bed. I was lying on my back while he was on his side facing me.
'Not sure what ta think 'bout this, Hollows don' really express emotions. We run on instinct.'-Grimm
'Well, you're an Arrancar, so you do have emotions. You just have to learn what each emotion is, I have them all the time so I'll help you each step of the way.'
He just smiled and we both started to fall back to sleep. The last thing I heard from him was: 'Then yeah, 'm glad we have a chance to be a familia (family).' –Grimm
*Flashback-End*
That's what happened, granted everything went insane when Ichigo and his friends went to Las Noches to get Orihime back and Aizen attacked Karakura Town. But everything is back to being somewhat normal again for the most part. During my pregnancy and even now, everyone has been checking up on me but it's getting very tiresome. I'm not going to let myself get depress because there is still no sign of Grimmjow, I need to stay as I am now for my son.
Don't get me wrong, I DO worry about Grimm and hope he's alright. I just don't know what to feel about this, I guess time will tell on when he'll be back.
Right now I'm sitting outside the room Captain Kuchiki gave me with the door open. I had it open so that my son could get some fresh air also while he had his nap. He's been skipping some of his naps lately, it happens sometimes when one of the others would visit. Most of the time it's when Ichigo would talk to me about random things, so I try to get my little boy to stay asleep for a few hours.
I then heard my son start to make some sounds and knew that he was waking up. I walked to where he was and picked him up while he was opening his eyes. He smiled and made baby noises while trying to catch a lock of my hair with his hands. I brought my hand up and he grabbed it, he's strong for a four month old baby.
'What's the matter Kaoru? Feeling hungry or is it something else?'
O'course I didn't get a reply back from him, but I knew what he wanted, just knowing these things are a part of being a mother I guess. I noticed that it was around noon and Captain Unohana wanted to give Kaoru his weekly check up, so I left the Kuchiki Estate leaving a note saying to where I was going (you know-just in case something happens).
The trip to Squad 4 was uneventful, along the way I saw Ichigo and Renji having an argument about some random thing again. Honestly, those two act like five year-olds if you're not watching them. Thankfully they didn't noticed me when I walked by them and they continued to argue.
I got to Squad 4 about an hour or two later and made my way to an examination room after saying hello to Hanataro. He said that he would let Captain Unohana that I was here along with Kaoru. A few moments later, Unohana walked in the room smiling softly at me.
'Hello Matsuri, how have you and little Kaoru been?' -Unohana
'We've been fine. Kaoru's growing so fast that it's hard to believe he was born four months ago.'
While Captain Unohana was giving Kaoru his check-up, we made small talk about when Aunt Konoka was alive. I visit Aunt Konokas grave from time-to-time with Kaoru and I tell him stories about her, his grandfather Seigen, and his uncle Fujimaru. After Unohana gave Kaoru a clean bill of health she said that Kaorus checkups would be monthly now.
So with that, I bid Unohana good-bye and left Squad 4 while carrying Kaoru. At times like this, when it's just Kaoru and I, that I wished Grimm was with me. I looked down and smile at Kaoru while he plays with a lock of my hair.
'Hey sweetie, let's go visit Auntie Konoka before going home.'
He made some baby sounds as we made our way to Aunt Konokas grave. Along the way we met up with Rukia, who was running our way and past us. Before I could question it, she ran back to me and gasping for breath while speaking.
'I finally….. found you, come on, we need to….. get back home now.'-Rukia
'What's going on Rukia?'
'No time to explain Matsuri, let's go!'-Rukia
Rukia grabbed my left wrist and lead me back to the Kuchiki Estate, along the way I asked her questions but she wouldn't answer. She said it was a surprise, but come on; you would want answers if your friend just pulled what Rukia did.
We finally made it to the Kuchiki Estate and Rukia lead to me a room. I began to hear voices the closer we got to it, one of which was Ichigos (who was at another part of the house) and the other was Orihimes. Then there were voices I had not heard in over a year, we finally reached the door and Rukia gently pushed me inside the room. (the door was already open and I'm carrying a baby.)
I couldn't believe what I was seeing, there sitting in the room was Stark, Lilynette, Harribel-san, her fracción (Mila-Rose, Apache, and Sung-Sun), and Ulquiorra (who was sitting next to Orihime). They all looked in my direction and suddenly had me in a group hug before we all sat down.
'Where have you all been this whole time?'
'We've been living in Las Noches and trying to rebuild it.'- Harribel
'Yeah, we're making it more like a home than a base.'-Lilynette
Kaoru then made a questioningly expression has he tried to get closer to Lilynette. That's when they noticed him and I was bombarded with questions. So, I just waited till they stopped asking and once they did, I began explaining.
'Well…. After the war, Rukia and the others told Head Captain Yamamoto and the other Captains what I had told them so they didn't put me on trail or in a cell. I stayed in Squad Four for a month before Captain Kuchiki asked me to stay here.'
'I asked Ani-sama to let Matsuri stay with us. I explained that she and her brother helped me and Renji when we were kids living in the Rekon District.'-Rukia (Ani=older brother)
'Yep, and I've been living here ever since.'
'Why's your kid givin' us tha' glare for Matsuri?'-Apache
'Her child isn't use to having Arrancars, let alone small Hollows, around him.'-Harribel
I nodded in agreement and while we talked, Lilynette crawled over to me but stopped far enough so that Kaoru wouldn't attack her. Yeah, forgot to mention that Kaoru would attack anyone that he didn't like if they got too close.
'Would it be alrigh' if…I could hold him Matsuri?'-Lilynette
I looked down at Kaoru and saw that he was looking at Lilynette with a curious expression.
'Ahora cariño, Lilynette es su primo. Ella es de la familia.' (Now sweetie, Lilynette is your cousin. She's family.)
As Kaoru leaned forward, Lilynette moved her right hand so it was near his face. He sniffed it a few times and started to laugh while trying to get even closer to her. I placed my son on to Lilynettes lap and watched the two have fun.
'You've learned more while we were away. Who taught you?'-Ulquiorra
'Shockingly enough it was Ichigos inner Hollow. He told me a few things about Hollow children, but in Kaorus case, not all that much since my son is apart of the feline-type of Hollows.'
'He didn't injure the boy did he?'-Stark
'No, Shiro explained to me that Hollows don't normally attack cubs. So, Kaoru didn't attack him, Ichigo on the other hand. Well, *softly laughs* Ichigo will never go anywhere near Kaoru even if he's (Kaoru) with me.'
After that, we just talked about random things while everyone got to meet my son. They were surprised that he got use to them faster then it would have been normal.
'You really did that Matsuri?'-Lilynette
'Yeah, I drew sketches of all of you and showed them to Kaoru while telling him your names. I wanted him to know about his fathers family.'
Harribel-san was about to speak when we heard yelling and fast footsteps coming from the hallway. The door leading to the hallway bursts open and we saw who was yelling before. I saw Ichigo still standing in the hallway, but I was looking at the person in front of him. If the others weren't sitting in front of me right now, I would have thought I was dreaming.
'Um…Hey there Matsu-'-?
Before the guy could finish his sentence, I stood up and walked over to him and then I punched him the face. I knew for a fact that my punch didn't hurt him at all, but I just wanted to get my frustration, that I had bottled up for the past year, out. And if it was going to be this guy, then so be it.
Everyone was silent after that, the guy looked back at me and I could see the guilt in his eyes. But, I spoke before he got the chance to and what surprised me was that he just stood there, stood there and let me vent.
'Do you have any idea to what I've been through this past year?! I've been worried about all of you since the Winter War ended and I was scared that you guys died. If you had died, I would have found you and killed you myself! estúpido gato!( you stupid cat)'
Yes, I know that didn't make any sense at all, but can you really blame me. He walked up to me and pulled me into a hug.
'I'm sorry, I was really messed up after the War. I guess I had enough luck tha' the others found me when they did. Cats really do have nine lives right? OW!' I smacked him across the head for that joke. 'Sorry, anyway I stayed at Las Noches up until a few days ago. I wanted to get here sooner but those asshats wouldn't let me!'-?
Before I could say anything to him, Mila-Rose beat me to the punch.
'Hey, don't swear in front of children ya dumb cat!'-Mila-Rose
He looked at us in confusion so I stepped away from him and want to Lillinette and got Kaoru from her. As I made my way back to him, his expression changed from confusion to shock and it was the most priceless thing I have seen from him. But the greatest black-mail material I have on him was when he fainted.
I was standing in front from him and held Kaoru up so they were at eye level with each other. In my mind I was hoping that Kaoru wouldn't try to attack, it would have been funny yes, but that was the last thing I needed right now.
'Kaoru, this is your papa. Grimmjow, this is your son Kaoru.'
Kaoru did what he had done with Lillinette and sniffed Grimm before laughing while trying to get closer to him. I handed Kaoru over to Grimm and he held our son to his chest so that Kaoru was listening to Grimms heart beat. Kaoru snuggled his head closer and started to faintly purr.
'So, I'm guessin' that the ears and tail aren't the only thing that our kid got from me huh?'-Grimm
I nodded to him while saying. 'Yeah, he acts like you when he wants to. Even more so when Ichigo looks after him, one time Kaoru bit Ichigos hand. It took me 5 minutes to get him to let go of it.'
'I asked you not to tell anyone about that Matsuri! Wasn't breaking every bone in my hand when you were giving birth to your kid enough for you?!'-Ichigo
I told him that 'No it wasn't, just think of it as pay back for calling me fat one time.'
All of us talked for the next few hours till it started to get dark outside. Harribel-San said that her and the others were going back home and would be back the next day. I asked what was the reason and Ulquiorra explained that they were negotiating with the Soul Reapers to see if there could be somewhat good relations between them. I bid them all good-bye, after I saw them leave; I turned to look at Grimm to see him standing behind me with Kaoru asleep in his arms.
'Come on, I'll show you where our room is.'
I lead him past three doors and into my room, I pointed at a wooden crib near the wall and Grimm got the hint to gently lay Kaoru in it. While he was settling Kaoru in his crib, I closed the room door and then was setting out the bed roll and covers for us.
'Ichigo and the others helped me out a lot before Kaoru was born by getting the baby stuff I would need.' I said to him in a low voice so that I wouldn't wake Kaoru up. As I was getting under the covers, Grimm walked over to where I was while removing Pantera (his Zanpakuto) and placing it next to mine on the floor above our heads. I noticed that his jacket was gone and I saw it was also by our Zanpakutos, I snuggled up to him after he got under the covers and he wrapped his arms around me.
'If you even think about touching me while Kaoru is in the same room as us, I'll use Kotomaru on your male parts, got it?'
'Ok, I'll admit to thinking that but I wouldn't do it. Maybe when the kid's older, we could add another to our little family…..Heh, never thought I would talk about something like this.'-Grimm
I nodded while telling him 'we'll talk about it someday, for now…..' I kissed where his heart was 'let's spend this time together as a family, you, Kaoru and I.'
With that, the two of us fell asleep dreaming of how our family would be, but we both knew one thing that would never change.
We both love our son with all our hearts and everyone would be there every step of the way to help us and be there for Kaoru.
