HELLO! Well thank you everyone For all the reviews and constructive criticism, I hope you like the story so far and I'm sorry for any OOCness. -^u^-
A reviewer pointed out something that i should clarify but the moment in the story has past so I'll just tell you now! The reason Rukia's body is changing so drastically is because it is a gigai and not a real body i wanted to emphasize that the gigai does not know how to react to a pregnancy and is only trying to imitate the natural process which leads to her quickly changing. It's on purpose. Now on to the story!
Chapter 7-
"What am I to do? Surely this.. Uh, condition of mine is punishable by law. What if I am sentenced to death?" She paused than chuckled, "That idiot saved me from an execution once, I have no doubt he'd do it again.." Her breath hitched. "But I'm bringing him into the chaos, soul society might make him a target for elimination! Or they might force me to terminate the pregnancy."
Her hand went to her mid section and her whole being became drenched in guilt, and her eyes filled with tears, "Maybe that would be for the best though, than Ichigo can have a normal life. If I keep my mouth shut and not tell them who the father is, they won't purse him..." Her tears were now falling freely and her heart ached worst than ever before.
Her arms protectively circled her waist, 'NO! I couldn't! I wouldn't let them! I'd gladly face execution if I knew this little being inside of me was alive and safe." She stared at her flat stomach lovingly and wiped the tears from her eyes. She was quiet for a moment until a new thought reached her head, "How am I supposed to tell Ichigo? Surely I must, saying as he IS the father.. But why do I feel so anxious about it? Damn it I am a Kuckiki! I shouldn't be nervous, women in this world tell their lovers about this kinda news all the time. I can too!" She smiled triumfantly and continued walking down the street.
Suddenly the peaceful quiet was broken as the sound of feet pitter patter started approaching, getting louder and louder. Rukia stared in the direction it was coming from and started to panic. The person running to her was in fact, Ichigo.
He slowed down to a stop as he reached her, than He hunched over, taking in big gulps of air. Rukia sweat dropped, 'He ran all the way over here from school? He was THAT worried?' She thought amused. Ichigo lifted up his head to look at her, finally gaining his composer and her heart beat wildly in her chest. Ichigo finally panted out a lazy, "Yo" never letting his hands leave his bent knees. She just gave a shy wave of acknowledgment and tried to walk past him. Ichigo grabbed her arm gently and frowned, "Where do you think your going? Come on, tell me what Urahara said!" He looked into her eyes.
She had that 'deer-caught-in-headlights' look as she kept repeating, 'Your a Kuchiki, act like one' over and over in her head. She started stalling for time, hoping a clown on a unicycle would come to distract him. "Well um.. You see what had happened was.." OH, HI -niiI!" A high pitched voice shouted, and they both looked back at Miyuki. Rukia could have kissed the small girl at that moment. She wasn't on a unicycle but she would do.
"OH hi Miyuki! No injury's today I presume?" Rukia practically beamed. The little girl smiled and shook her head, "Not yet! I was just going home when I saw you guys!" After a few minutes of small talk Miyuki insisted she had to go, and she waved goodbye.
Ichigo watched the little girl leave, and shouted, "Remember, If any mean bullies try to pick on you again, just tell me and I'll scare the crap outta them!" She smiled and nodded, continuing on her way.
Rukia watched Ichigo from the corner of her eye and thought, 'Now is a time as any..' She sighed, "Ichigo, Your going to be a great father.. one of these days." She chose her words correctly, but Ichigo didn't catch on, "Yeah, I hope so cuz if living with my dad has taught me anything, it's DON'T be like him" He laughed.
"Soo.. than you wan't to be a father?" Rukia asked hopefully. "Yeah, someday." He said not really thinking about it. Rukia found her opening, "How about more sooner than later?" Suddenly her feet became much more interesting.
Ichigo froze, 'What was she saying? Was she telling him she wanted to get pregnant? By him?' Shiro was ecstatic Yelling at Ichigo, 'Take her King! She wants you to impregnate her! Don't lose this chance or I'll go out there and do it myself!' Ichigo was red faced now, but choked out, "What are you telling me? You want me to.. you wanna be pregnant? Cuz there is no one's home right now and.."
Rukia mentally facepalmed, God the man she loved was an idiot. She decided keeping calm was the best option so with blushing cheeks she looked up at him and tried to explain, "Well umm. That's not what I meant, You see.. you and I have already.. Well today I went to Urahara's and he said.." She was red and rambling and Ichigo was just.. Confused. Patience running he simply said, "Out with it."
Rukia took a deep breath and whispered, "I'm pregnant"
