Chapter 10-Epilogue
AN: Hey everyone, sorry about the late update. I really did not know what to write for the epilogue, so I have done 3 moments from Byakuya and Hisana's life. I hope you guys enjoy!
1.
"So Byakuya- it's not that I don't enjoy spending time but I have my finals just before graduation tomorrow. Oh my gosh! I can't believe if I pass I am going to be an official doctor in a few weeks, but if I don't...," Hisana said faltering not wanting to think how it would be if she failed.
"Don't worry you'll pass for sure," Byakuya, who had already finished law school assured her
"What about you- isn't this is a really important week for you too, I mean isn't your coronation to head of the family in a couple of days," she asked.
"Yes, well actually there is a reason I asked you to come out here- well, um, it's kind of important," Byakuya started.
"What is it?" Hisana asked, now curious.
Suddenly, in front of Hisana's eyes Byakuya dropped to one knee "Ishiwatari Hisana will you..." he stopped and got back up "There's no point in doing this- you will refuse anyway,"
"No, continue with what you were going to say?" urged Hisana, who had pretty much got the gist of the question.
Once more, Byakuya dropped to one knee "Ishiwatari Hisana, will you marry me?"
"Yes, yes I will," Hisana said then squealed and jumped on Byakuya. She would never tell him but she had been counting nights till he would pop the question. After all, after Katagiri, Yoruichi and Masaki had gotten engaged months and the first married, Hisana couldn't help but feel jealous.
Byakuya shot a rare but sincere smile, and at that moment Hisana decided she didn't really care of Byakuya was the slowest and most stoic person ever if there were moments like these every now and then.

"Are you ready?" Yoruichi, the maid of honour asked, decked in a plain black dress and black stilettos.
"Not really, I mean I am but now that the moment is here...," Hisana faltered, fiddling with her veil.
"Don't worry – it'll happen without a hitch," Katagiri who was dressed in a soft grey dress reassured her.
"She's right plus you'll knock Kuchiki-san's socks off- you look beautiful," added Masaki who was dressed in a similar dress to Katagiri's
Truly Hisana was a vision in white. She was wearing a strapless floor length white gown, with thousands of small crystals that shone whenever they caught light stitched on.
"Where is Ginrei-san," Hisana asked suddenly panicking.
"There is no need to worry child, I am here," Ginrei said, coming out of nowhere dressed immaculately in a tuxedo.
Since their first meeting- Ginrei and Hisana had grown infinitely closer. Not all the elders were hospitable to her, but they couldn't go against the head. Today, Ginrei would be walking her down the aisle. As he put it, he would letting go of her as the daughter of his saviours and welcoming her as a member of the Kuchiki family.
Almost in a flash the moment had arrived she was walking down the aisle holding Ginrei's hand.
Unfortunately for Hisana she didn't get to see Byakuya's face as she walked down the aisle. However the rest of the audience did get to see Byakuya's flabbergasted look- some (*cough*Kisuke *cough* Isshin) even took a photo of this rare moment.
Fortunately for them Byakuya was way too stupefied to even notice.
"1000 yen Ishiwatari-chan has got Byakuya wrapped around pinky," Kisuke whispered to Isshin.
Isshin whispered back a grin on his face, "No way, I am not betting 1000 yen on a bet I am surely going to lose,"

Byakuya was calmly doing his paperwork in his hi-tech office like any other day when the phone rang. He smiled softly glancing at a photo of him and Hisana a couple months back. At that time her bump wasn't so prominent. Now, that she was only 2 weeks away it was quite a different story.
"Hello, Kuchiki speaking," he answered stoically.
"Byakuya, it's Kisuke- Hisana's in the hospital, the baby is early- hurry up and get here!"said Kisuke frantically.
Byakuya's eyes widened, he was expecting his secretary or some client not a crazed Kisuke ranting about Hisana in the hospital. In a flash, he was out of office- hurriedly telling his secretary about the situation in such a way only someone who had been working for the Kuchikis for ages like the secretary could understand.
He was about to yell for a taxi, like he had seen in every chick flick Hisana had wanted to watch when he realized he had his car. Mentally cursing himself for his stupidity Byakuya got into his car and sped away like a race car driver, in fact it was a miracle that Byakuya wasn't caught for speeding. Well, actually he was, he just didn't slow down and stop for the police. Oops!
At the hospital...
"Am I late?" Byakuya asked speeding into the maternity ward momentarily forgetting his Kuchiki grace.
Kisuke raised an eyebrow "You missed the worst of it, if it was anyone else I would think it was on purpose- in fact Yoruichi had to suffer in your place- she just went to get an ice pack for her bruised hands,"
Byakuya ignored most of what Kisuke said "Where's Hisana?" he demanded.
Kisuke rolled his eyes, knowing his words fell on deaf ears "In there," he said pointing to a room "With your kid," he added.
Byakuya entered the room trying to salvage what was left of his grace, as soon as he entered his eyes fell on Hisana and the small cot next to her.
"Hisana," he called out making his way to her.
Hisana turned to him her bright eyes shining like amethysts as she held put a small baby "Isn't she adorable," she gushed "She looks gorgeous,"
Byakuya nodded, too amazed to say anything. After the initial moments of amazement he turned to Hisana "Have you decided on a name," he asked
Hisana nodded "Rukia, Kuchiki Rukia," she said
"Rukia huh," Byakuya murmured letting the name roll off his tongue "Perfect! I am sure she will grow up to be beautiful," he said gently taking the infant into his hands. Taking a look at Rukia's sparkling amethyst eyes he added "- just like her mother,"
Fin.
