Chapter 7: Arrival

I have (I have) you breathing down my neck (breathing down my neck)
I don't (don't know) what you could possibly expect under this condition so
I'll wait (I'll wait) for the ambulance to come (ambulance to come)
Pick us up off the floor
What did you possibly expect under this condition so

Ichigo twitched slightly, rubbing his swore neck, and he had not seen any Shinigami for a month and half. It made him nervous. Rukia was due at any time now and the ever-tired vizard was pacing the room once again, Urahara watched him with a raised brow.

"I prefer to keep my floor at one level." Said the blond with a yawn. But Ichigo was not listening to him; instead he was talking to himself. "I should be there, it could be anytime, and I should be there." He kept repeating to himself over and over.

Urahara merely sighed, "She will be just fine." Said the man for the fifth-fourth time in an hour. God, he was starting to hope for the kid to be born faster, Ichigo was going to wear a hole in his wooden floor.

Back and forth, Ichigo went, to and fro, the man crossed the room.

Urahara tapped his cane to the rhythm of Ichigo's thumping feet. "Mm," he said in realization. "Not a bad beat." Urahara kept doing this until finally Ichigo stopped his march and turned to look at Urahara. "Would you stop that!" He exclaimed and in reply Urahara held up his cane and pointed it at the vizard.

"Oh, pardon me, I just got lost with the music."

Speaking of music, a sound could be heard and it sounded rather catchy as well.

I was last in my class


Barely passed at the institute


Now I'm trying to avoid, yah I'm trying to avoid


A malpractice suit

Ichigo blinked and seemed to notice the muffled singing voice as well. "The hell?" He said as he started to look around.

Hey, like a surgeon


Cuttin' for the very first time


Like a surgeon


Organ transplants are my line

"That's interesting." Urahara commented on as Ichigo then figured out what it was, "Oh shit! The phone!" He yelled, remembering that last week Isshin had dropped off a cell phone that he said he would call when the time came.

Ichigo instantly went insane trying to locate the phone as he was sweating bullets and screaming for the little phone. Things within Urahara' store instantly became scattered around like a child's play room.

Better give me all your gauze nurse


This patient's fading fast


Complications have set in


Don't know how long he'll last

Urahara dug in his green hoari for a moment and pulled out the singing phone, flipped it open and put it to his ear and said very happily, "Hello, Ichi-kun's phone operator speaking."

Ichigo, who was bent over a shelf paused and shot Urahara a glare at the man was smiling a smile that was way to big for his face. "Ah huh, oh, that is wonderful! Really? She's doing well, wonderful, oh; yes I will let him know. Thank you."

Click.

"What the fuck!" Ichigo yelled as he stared at the man who was looking at him. With a slight twist of the wrist he tossed the phone to Ichigo. The orange haired vizard captured the phone with both hands as Urahara spoke happily.

"Rukia is having the baby, congratulations, Ichi-kun!"

"What!" Ichigo yelled, his face growing pale. "Oh shit! I-I have to go! Oh shit!" He repeated as his brown eyes grew to the size of his zanpakutou and that was a scary sight really.

Urahara was about to open his mouth to say something but he then noticed the vizard was no longer standing in front of him. The blond man frowned at this and raised his head towards the sky that was hidden by his ceiling.

"He could of waited for me to finish." The blond said with a scratch of his head. "Well, I guess he will find out." The blond let out a long yawn as he stood up and dusted himself off.

--

Rukia had been in labor for four hours and it made Kon twitch every time he heard her scream. Every time he heard something he jumped into a kon-fu stance. Maybe he had been watching way too much television lately? He wasn't sure but he really felt jumpy since Rukia had announced that she was going to have the child, right here, right now, at this very moment.

"Ichigo!" Kon heard Rukia shout, "I hate you!"

Kon cringed, wow; thank god he did not have to be in there with Rukia. Yuzu had been sent to a friend's house as well as Karin. So it was just Isshin, Kon, Chad and poor Rukia. Kon looked around the room carefully, he was so on edge, maybe it was just because Rukia was giving birth and the reiatsu in the air was just getting to him.

Wait, reiatsu?

"Kon."

He looked to his right, seeing Chad slowly coming down the stairs, he completed his task in calling in and telling Urahara and Ichigo what was happening, but then suddenly the big man paused on the stairs and looked towards Kon and then past him to the doors harboring Rukia.

Kon looked at Chad, whose reiatsu was they feeling, it wasn't Rukia's and it wasn't Ichigo's but it felt just like theirs…was it…the babies?

Kon suddenly felt afraid, if he could feel the mixture then he was sure others could as well! The mixing of the reiatsu could only belong to a Kurosaki. That would draw attention, and god he wished he could be so dead wrong.

But as soon as the Clinic's doors opened, he knew he wasn't.

His feet slid into position for a fight and his fist came out in front of him. He heard Chad moving down the stairs and a flare of reiatsu marked Chad donning his armor upon his arm. But he paid no attention to Chad as Kon's brown orbs stared into the face of Jushiro Ukitake.

The Captain of the 13th Division stared directly at Kon; wasting no time at all he spoke, as softly and calmly as he could, "Where is the child?" He asked. No one answered, but the sudden cries from the room behind Kon gave away the answer no one wanted to give the sickly Captain.

Ukitake took a step forward but was intercepted by Chad; his armor upon his arm and held his thick arms across his chest. Ukitake looked at the large man. "If you truly want to protect your friend's child, then you will let me pass." Ukitake spoke with urgency now as his hand went to his zanpakutou, "We don't have time to play games! As much as I do not want to spill blood, I will to get to that child!"

Neither of the boys moved, not until a new voice entered the scene, one rough with age. "Ukitake." Said the voice from behind them. All three looked at Kurosaki Isshin, dressed in shinigami robes with his captain's cloak tied to one arm. His stance was lazily and curious.

"Kurosaki." Ukitake said with a sigh, "You have to let me pass, you have to give me your grandchild. We don't have time for games, the others are not far behind me." Ukitake said quickly as he took a step forward.

Isshin regarded Ukitake for a moment and tilted his head, "Alright." Isshin said and Kon and Chad looked surprised but did nothing. "Are you sure this is wise?" Chad asked and Isshin nodded slowly. "Ukitake is one person I can trust for anything." Isshin turned and put his hand on the door to go back into the Clinic area when all of a sudden his eyes grew huge as a scream went through the air.

Instantly all four men took off running into the Clinic, they swung the door open and ran down a short hall and that door was pushed open. Isshin was taken back by a large amount of reiatsu within the small room and the man standing over Rukia.

The man was dressed in a captain's uniform, a very ripped and tattered one but a captian nonetheless. His hair stood up in spikes, slowly the man turned his attention to the doorway as his large and rough hand rested on Rukia's small arm as she tried desperately to grab the small container of Soul Candy that was discarded by Isshin and on a tray near her bed.

The big man tilted his head to the side; a wide and insane grin was on his face as he spoke, "Tell Ichigo to come take them back with force, I am looking forward to it." Kenpachi said, while he was holding a small bundle of blankets in one arm, that could be identified as an infant.

Ichigo and Rukia's child.

Rukia's hand hit the tray and grabbed a hold of the candy as Kenpachi spoke. Kon was the first to notice and pushed past Isshin, arm out stretched. "Neesan! Don't!" He yelled but it was to late. Rukia's gigai hit the bed with a new soul and she stood, or rather fell to her knees in her shinigami body. Her body was in no shape for fighting after only having just given birth not long ago.

Kenny looked at the gigai and dropped it and turned to look at the small shinigami woman. Rukia fought to get on her feet, "Give me back my baby!" She said as Kon came to her side, or rather, tried as Kenpachi reached out and grabbed him by the shirt. Lifting him up, Kon's eyes grew wide and Kenny narrowed his own eyes. "Your not Ichigo, where is Ichigo?"

Kon was unable to answer and not being able too, Kenpachi tossed him to the side and walked over to Rukia. But a man in the shinigami robes blocked him. Kenny raised a brow as he looked at Isshin. "Well, well." Kenny said with a lick of his lips. "Are you wanting a fight?" He asked as snickers filled the room, Isshin did not reply and Chad, now standing in the room realized Kenny was not the only person here. On the window to his right sat three unseated officers of the 11th division. Yumichika was leaning against the wall to the left and behind Rukia stood Ikkaku who was whispering to her and helping her stand with an arm around her waist and his hand interlaced with her other. This wasn't good, if the 11th Division was here then others where here as well and more then likely coming up from behind him.

Sure enough with the irritated grunt of Ukitake he knew others where here. "Taicho Hitsugaya." Ukitake said as the white haired boy walked up to him as Ukitake turned to greet the new arrivals. Hitsugaya had his sword drawn and unseated officers behind him. "Taicho Ukitake." Toshiro said with a deep frown. "You are not supposed to be here."

Ukitake just smiled and offered a shrug, "Would you believe me if I said I got lost?" He asked with a slight chuckle.

[A/N Well lets see here, so far the votes for the gender of the child is at:

Female: 2
Male: 5

To vote on the gender, just leave me a review with what you think the child should be or go to my profile and vote on the poll that I have. Thank you so much for helping! Also, I do apologize for the short chapter and the rushed feeling it might leave. But I really wanted to get to this point and from here on out, things are going to get...interesting.
