The sound of clapping caught everybody's attention. It was Rangiku with a huge silly grin on her face.

"Oh Hime." "Today you have become a real woman." Rangiku gushed before enveloping Orihime in a smothering hug.

"My baby, I am so proud of you." "You have two such handsome guys fighting for your affection." She continued not knowing her 'baby' was slowly being suffocated by her generous bosom.

"Let her breathe, Rangiku." Renji pulled his wife from their daughter. "And stop with your nonsense." He chastised his wife for her ridiculous thinking.

"That's right, you and that hyper overactive imagination of yours." Shuhei added in his two cents as well.

"Hey! I am not the only one who has such a creative mind." Rangiku retorted.

"But the other daydreamer is not influence by all the chick flicks and 'mommy porn'." Yumichika scoffed.

"Are we talking about '50 shades'?" " Renji had read it too." And the cat was out of the bag, hopefully running for its life.

"RANGIKU!"

"So the taichou was correct in stating you have gone soft, right Renji?" Ikkaku taunted.

"I was just checking out the sex scenes." Renji defended himself with a fierce, piercing look at his wife.

"So you like reading about it rather than doing it?"

"Or is it you can't do it?"

"You are lucky you are in a hospital now, maybe we can get the good doctor here to recommend a specialist to get you up and running."

"But not too fast."

His colleagues were having a field day in teasing Renji.

"Have you read it, Hime-chan?"

"No, Hinamori-san. I have not." "Have you?"

"Same as you, no." "Maybe we are not 'mommy' enough and we are too young." The two girls giggled in a conspiratorial way.

"Oi! I can hear you." "Are you saying I am old?" "Ukitake-san, you have read it, right?"

"No, I might be of that age but I am not interested in something as poorly written and is just porn in a book with no pictures." Rukia made sure her words were laced with derision.

The two women glowered at each other.

'Of all the hospitals and the days I were to be admitted, why?'

"You! What kind of a doctor are you?" "Shouldn't you get everybody out of the room." Kenpachi barked at Ichigo.

"Everybody! Get out!" "And you Abarai, when you feel like fu...,(ahem) having sex with your wife, that means you are ready to get back to work." "I will be checking on you as and when, understand."

"Understood, taichou."

The Abarais bowed in gratitude as everybody left the room.

After closing the door, Rangiku suddenly remembered something.

"Hime, didn't you say you wanted to ask the taichou about the specially baked goods for his wife?"

"You are right, Rangiku-san." "I will just go and ask him now."

Orihime dashed out of the room without a second word.

"Zaraki-taichou." "Zaraki-taichouuu..." Orihime called out and ran right smack into Ichigo.

"I..." With her hand on his heart, she was amazed as to why his heart was beating as fast as hers.

"Didn't I said there shouldn't be any running in the hospital?"

"HEY! Get your filthy hands off her!" Grimmjow forced Ichigo's hands off Orihime.

"Would you rather I let her face hit the floor?"

"I will make damn sure that that will never happen."

"Are you saying I should step aside once I saw her falling?"

'Yes, I will be there to catch her. It is not for you to protect the princess."

"Do you know how absurd you sound right now?" Ichigo was not backing down to this violent blue-haired freak.

"Why don't we ask the princess if she needs your help?"

Turning to Orihime, Grimmjow was ready to show the young doctor who the princess regard as her protector.

"All right you two. Put your penises back into your pants." "Sorry Orihime." Kenpachi was tired of this macho display.

"Why are we all still standing here and watching a friggin' tennis match when all of you are being paid by the state to do your job."

"GET BACK TO WORK!"

"That include you, doctor 'I like to stare at pretty girls'."

Ichigo decided not to further antagonize the captain. Taking one last look at Orihime, he left to check on the other patients.

"So Orihime, what is it that you want of me?"

Orihime started talking to the taichou but her mind was filled with not baked goods but of a certain doctor and what was with 'that look'.
