So sorry it took so long. Well tomorrow morning I'm leaving for vacation and I knew I hadn't updated in a while and I didn't want you all waiting for that much longer. So, I put myself in gear and will hopefully have two chapters to keep you all satisfied. I know I said only 4, but I've got so many ideas for others I just can't help myself :) ENJOY!

Ichigo's POV

I stared down at her. He chest was heaving up and down as she tried to catch her breath. "Ichigo," she whispered and locked eyes with me. Pushing herself up she kissed me and I kissed back.

Her hair was a mess and sweat trickled down the side of her head but she looked beautiful in my eyes. "You did it baby," I nuzzled my nose into her hair. "You were amazing."

She fell back onto the bed and sighed, "I don't think I'll ever be able to do that again."

I laughed and kissed her again, "I don't think I'll allow that."

This time she laughed, "I'd like to see you give birth you son of a bitch."

We sat there together and laughed. "Mr. and Mrs. Kurosaki?"

The nurse walked over to us, a little ball of blue nestled against her. "Here he is." Rukia's eyes filled with tears of happiness as our son was laid in her arms.

"He's beautiful," Rukia whispered, her eyes never left the baby. His hair was sticking up in every which way and was black like Rukia's. "He has your hair," she said, looking back up at me.

I smiled back at her, "And your hair color. What are we going to name him?" I asked. Rukia had said she didn't want to decide on a name until he was born, saying something like she would know what his name was suppose to be when she had him.

"Kaien." As soon as the name left her mouth I tensed. Renji had told me about her relationship with Kaien and how close they had been. "Why would you wanna name him that?" I spat.

Shocked eyes met mine, "Because I want to."

My nostrils flared, "No."

"Excuse me?"

"I said no. I will not have my son named after some guy you use to have a thing with." She reached up and slapped me. I glared down at her and pushed away from the bed. "Fine." I got up and left.

"Ichigo I'm-" But I closed the door to her room before she could say anymore.


Rukia's POV

A week had gone by and Ichigo still wouldn't talk to me unless absolutely necessary. He had even taken to sleeping on the couch. Of course he still played Kaien and took take of him but he never called him Kaien, it was always Kai.

I had just laid Kaien in his room next to mine and laid down. I let out a sigh and snuggled deeper into the covers, trying to make up for the warmth that was no longer there.

The bed moved behind me and I turned. Ichigo was sitting with his back to me. I kept quiet and waited for him to say something. He pulled off his shirt and laid down with his back still to me. Without another word I turned back around and laid down. It may not be like it once was. But it was an improvement. I took a deep breath and let it out. I opened my mouth to say something but he interrupted. "When I'm ready to talk about it, I'll come to you."

Another week turned into a month and Ichigo and I were talking. We didn't say I love you or snuggle together at night but we said our good morning's and good night's, goodbye's and welcome home's, I'll make dinner and I'll do the dishes but there was something missing.

Kaien was laying peacefully in his cradle and I was pulling on my silk Chappy Pj's when Ichigo walked in. He pulled off his shirt and belt and laid down. I glanced back at Ichigo and found him looking at me. "Rukia," he breathed.

I turned towards him fully. My heart lept when he moved closer. "Yeah?" I whispered.

"I love you. But I'm not a teenager anymore. I'm an adult just like you. I know what Kaien was to you and I know he probably has a part of your heart I'll never get. That is going to make me mad. I'm going to hate it and I'm going to make sure you know how much I hate it. But you will never hit me. We're too old to be doing shit like that. If you ever hit me again I will file for divorce. I'm not talking about those play taps when we're teasing but when it comes to something that really bugs you or me then will be no hitting ever."

Tears filled my eyes and I nodded, pushing myself close to him. "Ichigo," I sobbed into his chest, holding him to me. "I'm so sorry!" His arms wrapped around me and he pressed his face into my hair. "I love you. I'm sorry, I'll never hit you again. Please don't leave me. I love you so much."

We held each other as I finished crying and he wiped away my tears. "I love you too, Rukia." He kissed me and I kissed back, taking in everything I had missed.

Alrightyyyy, there it is :) I hope you all like it! Review please :)
