Chapter 11: Happiness and Contentment.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Bleach!!
Not long after Ichigo and Rukia were married, and still living in the Kuchiki residence, Rukia became pregnant.
"Is it a baby girl or boy?" Hinamori excitedly asked. She had accompanied Rukia to Unohana, and she was a few weeks along.
"It's a girl," Rukia grinned.
That night at dinner, Rukia looked at her husband and her brother.
"Nii-sama, you're going to be an uncle. Ichigo, you're going to be a father," Rukia announced, trying to hold back the huge smile that was desperately trying to appear on her face.
Ichigo and Byakuya both looked at her, stunned, before smiles slowly found their way onto their faces.
"You're pregnant?!" The two men's huge eyes looked at her.
"Yes.. I'm around a month and a half along."
"We must make one room a nursery. Do you know whether it is a girl or boy?"
"Yes, nii-sama. It is a girl. According to Unohana-taichou, she will be due in December."
"Very well. We will create a lovely nursery for her," and seeing the look of hope in Rukia's eyes, he added, "and you may decorate it, but on one condition: you cannot put Chappy bunny all over the place!"
"Fine, fine…"
The rest of the night was peaceful and happy, and Ichigo was quite content that he was going to have a daughter.
