A/N – Hello there dedicated readers! I know you have all been waiting for a new chapter of "Baby Talk" after all; it is one of my most popular stories. Also there are spoilers in this chapter from the latest episode of Bleach, episode 362.
** For any of you who don't know, I am a season specific writer. That means I only release new chapters in the late spring and over the course of the summer. Some writers prefer to release new chapters for Halloween or Christmas for promotional purposes, but to me those are very gloomy times of the year. A cold and grey environment doesn't make for a very good creative environment in my opinion, therefore I prefer to write in the warmer months because then my stories come out much better. However, even though it is a bit early , I thought I should publish a new chapter to keep you guys hooked until I am able to write more at the beginning of May.**
Thank You guys for all your support and I will see you all in summer! (BTW, don't just stay inside reading my stories, get outside and get active! Go swimming or hiking with friends or something to that effect! I know I am. Today is a beautiful day! Seize it!)
"Isn't today such a nice day?" Byakuya sighed as I felt his arm snake around my waist.
I smiled and nodded as a warm breeze rolled over us, carrying the sweet scent of cherry blossoms and fresh grass.
We laid together, sprawled out on a large blanket that was set just a few feet from the edge of the calm lake. Our little baby boy had laid across my chest, sleeping as if he too were enjoying the calm warm weather. His tiny fingers clenched around a handful of my shirt from the real world.
"Let go of me!"
"No way Captain Shinji!"
"I'm PREGNANT! Put me down!"
"Dump him in the lake!" The pink-haired girl screamed.
"KENSEI!" Shinji's screams were drowned as the cold dirty lake water filled his mouth.
And before I knew it, it was too late to move. My baby and I were sprayed with the cold water.
I had jumped up before the crystals of water that were thrown into the air by the collision of Shinji's body with the lake's surface had fallen back to the earth before I practically dumped the screaming infant into Byakuya's arms as I got up and began to chase Yachiru and Mashiro (The two masterminds behind this awful trick) around the lake. While Yachiru, of course, was somehow laughing hysterically while a giant purple lollipop was stuffed in her mouth.
~~~~~~~Byakuya's POV~~~~~~
I chuckled as I cradled my son, who was currently screaming his heart out after a very rude awakening from his nap.
It was quite the sight to see, actually.
Renji's face was purple with rage as he chased the two girls around the lake as Kensei ran over to help fish his pregnant fiancée out of the water.
Kenpachi was just sitting under an unusually large umbrella with Captain Hitsugaya and his two little toddlers at his side, drinking sake, as usual with Captain Shunsui while Captain Jyuushiro slept beside him, their daughter sleeping soundly as well. How they can sleep through this entire ruckus is beyond me.
Mastumomo was laughing beside her husband, Hisagi, who was holding their son while Kira was rolling on the ground laughing.
Ichigo looked as if he weren't even paying attention to the non-sense in the background as he snuggled with his wife and my sister, Rukia, while they watched their daughter, Rin, make sand castles with Captain Sui-feng and Ex-Captain Yoruichi's daughter, Satsu, while they too watched on in mild amusement while cuddling in the sand.
Love sat with a heavily pregnant Rose in his lap, who had been woken up from his nap and did not look at all pleased.
While Third seat Ikkaku drank sake and watched his life mate, Yumichika, save their daughter, Chiyo, from being trampled by Renji.
Ichigo's father, Isshin tried to unsuccessfully trip Mashiro as she ran past while a barely pregnant Urahara tried to ward off heat strokes with his fan.
And last but not least, the sweet (and so small she really shouldn't be pregnant but she is anyway) Hinamori tried to struggle to her feet. However, it was virtually impossible with her huge womb. So the robotic Nemu girl had to quickly grab her and pull her to safety before she was crushed by the stampede.
Ah, Summer time is here at last.
A/N – What do you guys think? Pretty good? Great? Awesome? Thanks for reading and remember to check in around the first week of May for more new chapters. Happy Spring everyone!
