3 weeks later...

Byakuya laid down next to Renji, it had been another long day. Naoki still didn't trust either of them and who his mother was was still keeping him up at nights, but he had no idea why. "What's bothering you?" asked Renji laying his head on Byakuya's chest.

"Nothing, I'm fine," he lied.

Renji pulled his chin down to make Byakuya look him in the eyes, "You are a horrible liar."

"But I outrank you so when I say drop it I mean it," he growled.

"Hmm, I thought you said that insubordination was hot," he whispered straddling his captain.

"Renji, not tonight," he grumbled pushing Renji off of him. Renji didn't know what to do next, this had never happened before. "Let's just go to sleep." Renji frowned as Byakuya turned away from him so he was facing the wall. Something was seriously bothering his captain and Byakuya was not about to tell Renji anything.

Byakuya was looking down at the tiny eyes that had just barely opened. "Naoki, such a sweet name for my sweet boy," he whispered holding his new son to his chest. "I am never going to leave you, I love you."

"You have to make a choice," Aizen whispered laying down next to Byakuya. He shook his head, "You better make the right choice."

"I have to go back..."

"Then I will make this painless"

Suddenly the baby was ripped out of his hands and a bright light was blinding him. "Naoki! NAOKI!"

Byakuya jumped up from bed covered in sweat. Had that just been a dream? But why would he be dreaming that Naoki was his son? "Something wrong?" Renji asked sleepily.

"Nothing, just a bad dream," he lied laying back down. Or had it been something more?

"You know you can't stay there! They won't allow it!" Aizen yelled at him. "You won't be safe but I could protect you!" Byakuya tried to get away but as much as his feet moved he stayed in the same place. "You can't escape me and you know it!"

"This is all your fault! You betrayed me!" Byakuya yelled. Aizen just smiled as he stepped through the garganta "I don't need you! I never did!"

"You keep saying that but you keep coming back," Aizen laughed before he the black hole finally swallowed him up and Byakuya was all alone.

Byakuya's eyes shot open. He remembered, he remembered everything. Before he realized what he was doing he was on his feet, zanpakto in hand, flash stepping towards squad four. He was going to kill the cuatro.

He finally smashed down the door that was blocking his way and thrust his zanpakto into Ulquiorra's neck. "You knew," he snarled startling the espada. "You knew this entire time and said nothing!"

Ulquiorra smiled, "So you finally remembered? Aizen was always worried Kyōka Suigetsu effects would wear off on you."

"Why didn't you tell me I had a son!"

"You wouldn't have believed me, I had to wait and see if you remembered on you own. Now you do," he shrugged. Byakuya lowered his sword, he wasn't angry at Ulquiorra, everything the cuatro said made sense, but he was pissed at Aizen.

"Why didn't I get my memories back after Aizen died in Hueco Mundo, his sword shouldn't still have affected me unless...Is Aizen still alive?"

"I honestly don't know, he has not contacted me or done anything as far as I can tell." Byakuya fell down onto one of the visitor chairs, he could not believe that he had forgotten something so important as his own child. How the hell had even been able to become pregnant? He was a guy!

"Oh Byakuya, what are you doing here?" Unohana asked surprised to see the captain in her barracks so late at night.

"I had to ask the cuatro espada something about the child," he nodded at her curtly before walking out of the room. No one could know about this, there would be too many questions that even he didn't have the answers to yet.

Unohana looked back at Ulquiorra who was staring at her. "May I ask why you have also honored me with a late night visit?" Ulquiorra asked with his usual emotionless tone.

"Oh yes! I have been running some tests that keep coming up with a peculiar result. I wanted to be sure before I talked to you about it but did you know that you are pregnant with twins?"

Ulquiorra shot up, "You mean I didn't lose them?"

"So you knew?" Ulquiorra nodded. "Then why didn't you tell me or ask about them? I could tell you were stressing about something and that was healthy for none of you!" she reprimanded gently. She had become attached to the Espada over the last few weeks he had spent in the spirit world. He actually kind of reminded her of Byakuya.

"I was scared of what would happen if anybody knew. I didn't even know how much longer I would be alive." Unohana nodded understandingly.

"Do you want to know what gender they are?" Ulquiorra looked up at her and nodded eagerly. "You are going to have a little boy and a little girl."
