Okay. So while reading some fanfics I came across this fact: The difference between spiritual pressure and spiritual energy is simple: Reiryoku is the amount of energy a being has stored within their body or soul, whereas Reiatsu is the pressure that a person's Reiryoku exerts.

I'm going to try to use those terms correctly from here on!

As soon as they stepped outside they could see Isane still standing there as the guards stopped them, telling them that they were not allowed to leave the cell. And of course this didn't fall into a good nature with Unohana-taichou who immediately put her scolding smile on her face.

"In cases of health I have the highest authority. But If you want I can make you responsible for the death of 2 inmates due to neglect."

The guards faces suddenly lost all their color. "We have no responsibilities over things like that."

"Yes well. Because you decided to keep them in the temporary cell one of them is on the verge of dying. Which not only risks his life, but that of the child he is carrying as well. Now please remove the collars from the both of them so I can take them to the fourth division."

Grimmjow could see the dilemma on their faces. Face Unohana's wrath, or face the wrath of the second division taichou. In the end they decided that Unohana was way scarier and that she could even deny to heal them because of this. (Not that she would do that, but she could) So they took off the collars and watched as Isane ran off with Ichigo while Unohana gave some first aid to Grimmjow so he could at least walk properly again.

But even with the little reiryoku she had send into him to give him back some strenght, it still took them half an hour to reach the fourth division. The reiryoku had been nowhere near enough for Gimmjow, and Unohana couldn't give him any more without breaking some rules.

They walked into a room, and as soon as they were inside Grimmjow stumbled to Ichigo's bed with worry in his eyes.

"Why hasn't he woken up yet?" he asked as he looked at the lieutenant with a panicked look.

"I have already restored some of his reiryoku. But as soon as I start putting reiryoku in his body the child absorbs a great part of it and it destabilizes it's reiatsu."

"Is there nothing you can do?"

"Well.. I have a theory. I'm guessing that if we restore your reiryoku as much as we can that you should be able to restore his. I don't think the child's reiatsu will destabilize when we do it like that because you are the father."

"Won't that take too long?" The ex-arrancar asked exasperated. "Isn't there any other way?"

Now Unohana was the one to answer his desperate question. "There is another way. But it will put a great deal of stress on your body to do it because you haven't recovered your own reiryoku yet."

"I don't care. Let's just do it that way. I can heal and restore my reiryoku after that."

Unohana gazed at him with a soft smile before she nodded and went to sit next to Grimmjow. "Okay then. Put your hand over Ichigo's heart. There's a spirit center there" She waited until he did as he was told and then put her own hand over his heart. "Now, I'm going to send some reiatsu through your spirit center, and you send some into Kurosaki-kun. Okay?"

Grimmjow nodded and gasped when he felt a burning sensation in his chest as Unohana started sending some reiatsu into him. But he ignored it and did as he was told, keeping it up for more than an hour until he asked her to stop for a few minutes. The pain in his chest was becoming unbearable and he decided to tell her. She was a doctor after all.

She nodded at his request and nodded towards Isane to check up on Ichigo before turning back to Grimmjow and telling him to lay on his back so she could do the same to him.

He once again did as he was told and felt her reiatsu searching his body.

"We're going to have to stop this for today." She stated. "You're spirit center will not be able to take a lot more without collapsing." She turned to Isane who nodded. "Kurosaki-kun seems to be getting better already. The child stopped absorbing so much reiatsu and is out of danger. Kurosaki should be waking somewhere tomorrow. But we are going to have to see if we need to do this again."

"Alright." Grimmjow said, soft smile on his lips. Ichigo was going to be alright! That's all that mattered to him right now.

Unohana watched him with a hint of amusement before standing up. "We'll be leaving them. The door will be locked but everything you need is in here. Also, this is a room specially made for reiatsu recovery so you should be feeling better tomorrow as well. We'll come by to check up on you and do another session if we need to."

Grimmjow once again nodded and sat down on the other bed in the room, waiting until they were outside before standing up again and walking towards Ichigo's bed, laying down next to his lover. He whispered reassurances in the man's ear, telling him that they were going to be alright. All of them; the child as well. He also told his younger lover that he was looking forward to have another kid running around and that they wouldn't have to worry about Katherine being jealous over her little sibling. She was going to be the perfect big sister.

He kept talking until he felt sleep overcome him like a thief sneaking inside of a house unnoticed. And before he knew it he was fast asleep, dreams of their possible future keeping him busy throughout the night.

AN: Sorry that this chapter is so small. I've got a retake exam tomorrow because my teacher didn't show up last Tuesday…. A teacher not showing up for a retake exam. What the hell is happening to the world of education!?
And for those who are also following TTPA (=Thank the pink arrancar) I know. It's been going slow, but I'm still writing it, don't worry. It's just going so slow because I don't really have that much time, and when I have time I'm mostly writing chapters for 'on the run' or 'Here Kitty Kitty'
