Ichigo was laying on the exam table with Byakuya on his standing on his right.
"So, what do you think is taking Captain Unohana so long?" Ichigo asked nervously. Byakuya took Ichigo's hand and squeezed it.
"Don't worry the baby's fine."
"Captain Kuchiki is right; your babies are very healthy." Captain Unohana said as she came inside her office. Ichigo smiled happily.
"I'm glad that the baby-wait did you just say babies?" Byakuya looked stoically at Captain Unohana, who smiled at them.
"Yes, you're having twins," She answered
"Twins? But when you did the ultrasound, you didn't say anything." Ichigo said in surprise.
"Yes well, when I did a scan I saw the two fetuses, but since it's still early to tell I asked Lieutenant Isane what she thought and she came up with the same conclusion. So congratulations you're having twins." Captain Unohana said as she read her clip board.
"We're having twins," Ichigo said, looking at Byakuya in amazement. Byakuya nodded and was about to reply when Captain Unohana cut him off.
"Now then, there are foods that you can't eat that you need to know off. Please avoid raw fish, shark, cake batter, unpasteurized juice and milk, salads made with seafood, shellfish, raw sprouts, poultry, eggs, ice cream, pork, and pickles. And avoid drinking caffeine, herbal tea, and alcohol. Also, when you're in the World of the Living, don't eat any kind of fish except Salmon and cheese. In the World of the Living there aren't enough spiritual particles to make it safe to eat fish without it harming the babies." Captain Unohana explained while smiling calmly at Ichigo. "Do you have any questions?"
"Yeah, I ate some eggs a couple of days ago." Ichigo said worriedly, while putting his hand on his protruding belly.
"Well, it doesn't seem like it affected the babies at all, however next time please avoid doing so again." Captain Unohana said, looking at her chart.
"Yes, Captain Unohana." Ichigo said in relief. Byakuya narrowed his eyes when he heard about the food, he silently promised to fire whoever gave Ichigo the eggs.
"I would also like to see you next week for a checkup. You'll be six weeks along and we'll be able to see the babies' gender." Captain Unohana said smiling kindly at Ichigo.
"Thank-you" Ichigo thanked her as he got up to leave. After Byakuya thanked her, they left.
Ichigo and Byakuya came back to Kuchiki Manor and saw decorations everywhere.
"Happy birthday Ichigo, darling." Masaki said as she came over and hugged her son.
"Thanks mom" Ichigo said affectionately as he hugged her back. As Ichigo let go of his mom he looked and all of his friends and family there, including Captain Ukitake and, unfortunately Aizen. Ichigo scowled as he looked at Aizen.
"What's he doing here?" Masaki looked at Aizen and frowned.
"Didn't Karin and Yuzu tell you? We invited your old captain." Ichigo's scowl deepened.
"Karin told me, and I don't him here!"
"Ichigo! That's very disrespectful; he's your old captain." Masaki reprimanded Ichigo. Ichigo just looked away and kept scowling at the grass. Byakuya looked at Ichigo stoically.
"Ichigo, do you want something to drink?" Ichigo looked up at Byakuya and nodded.
"Orange juice" As Byakuya went to get some, Isshin came over hugged Ichigo.
"Well son, how's the baby?"
"They're doing great." Ichigo replied as glared at Aizen.
"They're?" Masaki asked raising her eyebrow at Ichigo. Ichigo nodded.
"We're having twins."
"Oh that's wonderful." Masaki gushed happily, while looking at Ichigo's tummy. Byakuya came back with the drink and gave it to Ichigo.
"Thanks" Ichigo said as he accepted it and started drinking.
Ichigo was sitting by the koi pond, and drinking his third glass of orange juice.
"Not enjoying your party?" A voice asked behind him. Ichigo turned around and saw that it was Aizen.
"What I do is none of your business," He said, glaring profusely at Aizen. Aizen raised his eyebrow.
"Now is that anyway to talk to a captain?"
"If that captain is a creep, then yeah." Ichigo said in irritation and Aizen smiled.
"Now, that's not very nice; and here I was coming to congratulate you."
"Congratulate me? On my birthday?" Ichigo asked raised his eyebrows, and then narrowed his eyes.
"Well that, and on the twins." Aizen said casually. While hugging his belly protectively, Ichigo asked in horror.
"How do you know about that?"
"Oh, a little snake told me," Aizen smiled secretively, causing Ichigo to scowl angrily at him.
"Are you stalking me? I only found out one hour ago."
"I told you, a little snake told me. I was talking to Momo in my squad an hour ago." Aizen said casually. "Now then, I came to give you your gift, would you like it now?"
'No thanks!' Ichigo thought.
"Sorry, but I don't have time for that, I think I just heard my mother calling me," he replied in disgust before he ran off inside, leaving behind a murderous Aizen.
Ichigo was sitting next to Byakuya as they ate dinner. Rangiku and Ikkaku were having a drinking contest, and so far Rangiku was winning. Ichigo ate some rice with beans.
"I thought I'd hate this party, but I'm actually having fun."
"That's good." Byakuya replied stoically, taking a sip of his green tea.
"Are you going back to work tomorrow?" Renji asked curiously as he ate some beef. He was sitting opposite Ichigo, next to Rukia.
"Yeah" Ichigo replied as he ate some curry. Renji grinned.
"That's great"
"How much do you intend to eat, you mooch?" Ikkaku asked Renji drunkenly. Rukia laughed when Ikkaku insulted Renji.
"Well, Renji, you do tend to mooch." Renji turned red in embarrassment.
"Shut up, besides Ichigo doesn't think I mooch, right, Ichigo?" Renji looked at Ichigo, but saw that he was asleep on Byakuya's shoulder. "He's sleeping at a party?"
"Let him sleep, he's pregnant." Rukia told Renji.
"But he didn't even have any cake." Renji complained.
"It doesn't matter." Rukia replied sternly. Byakuya finished his tea and got up with Ichigo in his arms, bridal style.
"I'm going to take him to bed." Without another word Byakuya left the party and went to their bedroom. When they got to the bedroom, Byakuya put Ichigo in the bed. He put the covers on him and kissed his forehead.
"Happy birthday, Ichigo" he whispered softly. After that he left back to the party.
July 22
Ichigo was doing paperwork in his office. He was filling out mission assignment sheets.
"Hey, Ichigo, got a second?" Rukia asked as she came in. Ichigo looked up at her and scowled.
"I have to do the paperwork."
"Not even if I give you your birthday present?" Rukia asked, smiling teasingly.
"Unless it's how to rescue Orihime, I don't want it." Ichigo replied bitterly as he signed the paper. Rukia pouted.
"But Renji and I got special permission for you to go see Orihime." Ichigo looked up as his eyes lit up.
"Really?" Rukia nodded happily.
"Yep, you could go and see her now." Ichigo got up and smiled kindly at Rukia.
"Thanks, and tell Renji I said thanks too."
"Sure" Rukia replied.
Ichigo entered the 6th Division jail and saw Orihime sitting in a chair.
"Orihime" Ichigo whispered as he came closer to her cell. Orihime turned around, her eyes landing on her brother.
"Ichigo, what are you doing here?"
"I was given special permission to see you. I'm sorry I didn't come see you earlier, Byakuya wouldn't let me." Ichigo said softly.
"Oh it's okay; it was our birthday last week, happy birthday." Orihime said looking at the floor.
"Thanks, you too. Orihime look at me." Ichigo said determinedly. Orihime looked up at Ichigo, straight at his eyes.
"I'm going to save you!" Ichigo exclaimed.
