Hey everyone! I'm very sorry for the wait! I got a new laptop, and unfortunately ALL of my files from my old one were gone, so I had to retype every single story I ever wrote, some of which were never posted. I have also been very busy since the posting of chapter 1, so I only got maybe an hour a week to work on the stories. But I finally got Chapter 2 done for you :D I meant for it to be 5k words like the other one, but I didn't want to keep you guys waiting any longer. I can't promise that Chapter 3 will be up before November, but I will try, now that I've gotten back into the swing of fanfiction writing.

Also, please don't be saying stuff like "hurry up!" (rudely without any other comment) and other rude comments. These will only make me LESS motivated to write the next chapter, which means it'll take longer. I don't have time to sit and type all day. I don't mean to be rude, but I need to get that across to my reviewers. If you ever feel like I'm taking too long, please look at my page before reviewing and telling me to hurry up. There should be a note there if I'm taking longer than expected.

I hope you enjoy Chapter 2~

"Ulquiorra?!"

"Hello again, Kurosaki Ichigo."

"The hell?! I thought you were dead! I saw you turn to ash! Never mind that, what are you doing in Orihime's apartment?" Ulquiorra looked at his wife with a look of unamusement.

"Brilliant deductions, Kurosaki." He replied as he rolled his eyes in annoyance. "High speed regeneration ring a bell? To answer your question, Orihime and I are together now. You should've been able to figure that out, considering you've met our daughter. But I see your brain is still not as advanced as an Arrancar's. Pity. I was hoping you'd gotten stronger since our last encounter, without needing your Hollowification."

"Shut the hell up, Ulquiorra! I swear, if you hurt Inoue, I'll-"

"Cifer."

"What?"

"Her surname is no longer Inoue. It's Cifer. We've gotten married since my return."

"I swear, Ulquiorra, on my life, that if you dare hurt her, I will kill you."

"Why would I wish to harm my wife?"

"That's another thing. When did you get married? And why would an Arrancar marry a human?"

"I'm not an Arrancar anymore. I still possess some of my abilities, yes, but I am human in every other category. We got married within a few months of my return."

"That's it. I'm coming over there and I will sort this out then." Ulquiorra heard the phone disconnect and sighed. He hung up the phone before turning to his wife.

"How'd he react?" Orihime asked.

"He's coming over." His wife gasped and looked down at their newborn son. "But don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't come anywhere near Tukiko or Tadao."

"Ok….." She held their son closer to her chest. "Why does he have to come over so soon after Tadao's birth? Poor little guy was just born, and now Ichigo's coming probably to fight…" Ulquiorra spotted a tear slide down her cheek and gently wiped it away.

"I promise I won't let anything happen to Tadao, Tukiko, or you."

"Ok…" Ulquiorra kissed her forehead and got up. He walked to the door and waited for Ichigo to arrive. Once he arrived, he scowled at Ulquiorra.

"How the fuck did you return? I saw you turn into ash."

"Perhaps you are failing to recall I possess the ability to regenerate. It took a longer period of time since my entire body had to regenerate completely from dust. And when I did regenerate, I found I had become almost human, with some abilities still intact."

"Yeah yeah yeah, that's great. But I will not allow you to harm Orihime."

"Did I ever say I had intentions to do so? There are only two possibilities. Either I say things that I can't recall, nor do I want to say, or you are making assumptions based purely on my past as an Arrancar. Either way I won't allow harm to come to her. That is why I am not allowing you to see her. You are clearly troubled, as you seem to be much harsher and quick to assume than you were when we last encountered one another."

"Hmph. I see you're just as much of a talker as you were before our last fight. But none of that matters now. I met your daughter. While I am upset that she is half Arrancar, I will tell you that she was rather cute, for being the offspring of a Hollow."

"Offspring? She is not mere offspring. She is a child. My child. Tsuma's and my child. Now, why have you come here? Surely you do not intend to fight."

"No. Originally that was my intention, but seeing as you are remaining calm, I think I'll be able to hold back and talk things through. If you are ok with that."

"Of course. I would much rather speak calmly than fight you, even though I would surely win."

"Right. Now, I need to know if you're still in touch with Aizen. If you are still obeying orders from him, I'll-"

"I want nothing to do with that bastard."

"….what?"

"You heard me. I want nothing to do with Aizen. I now see how awful of a man he was, and I have no respect for him left. He held Tsuma captive, and while it is what helped me truly get to know her, it is still unforgiveable."

"Oh…"

"The bastard can go to –"

"ULQUIORRA!" Ulquiorra's eyes widened when he heard his wife shrieking his name. He turned around quickly and ran to the bedroom, to see Grimmjow in the room, holding Orihime against him and an arm around her neck, Tadao in his other arm. Grimmjow smirked at him.

"Hey Ulquiorra. What took you so long, huh?"

"Put the woman and our child down, Grimmjow."

"I don't think so. I think…" Grimmjow looked down smirking at Orihime before looking back up at him. "I'm going to enjoy watching you try desperately to get them back. You are human now, you can't go to Las Noches easily." Ulquiorra lifted his hand and began charging a cero.

"Put them down."

"You think you can hurt me? I'll show you-" Ulquiorra fired the cero directly at Grimmjow's chest,making him drop Orihime and Tadao. Luckily Orihime was able to grab her son before he landed on the floor. She stood up quickly and ran out of the room as Grimmjow was blown through the wall. She ran into Ichigo on the way to the living room.

"Orihime? What's going on in there? And…you have another child?"

"Grimmjow showed up. He and Ulquiorra are fighting! And yes, but we can discuss this later. Ulquiorra needs help! Please help him!" Ichigo could tell she was genuinely concerned for her husband, and decided to put the past behind him.

"Ok, I'll help him. You stay here though, and take care of your children."

"Ok…" Ichigo ran back into the bedroom, nearly running into Tukiko, who was running into the living room.

"Mommy! What's going on?!"

"Just stay in here sweetie, everything will be ok! I promise."

Upon reaching the bedroom, Ichigo saw Ulquiorra standing in the hole in the wall, looking down. He could faintly hear Grimmjow cussing at Ulquiorra from the ground. Ichigo walked up to him.

"What are you doing here, Kurosaki?"

"I came to help you. What do you think?"

"Help? Since when did you have the desire to help me?"

"Since I saw how desperately Orihime wanted you to be helped. I never knew just how much she cared for you."

"Very well."

Grimmjow glared up at the two of them, scowling angrily. "Just wait 'til I'm up there, Ulquiorra. Just wait."
