There's a new poll on my user page, if you wanna check it out. It's not really a necessary one but I felt like posting it...heh (go see, go see!)

Chapter 11

Cries were heard and red lights flashed on the little baby monitor Ichigo had brought home a few days before. His dad had insisted he have it and also told Ichigo he wanted to see the babies soon. Ichigo groaned as he looked at the monitor.

"I hate this thing," he said as he was tempted to throw the damn thing. He looked over to Hitsugaya.

"It's your turn, I went before," was the reply he got. Deep down he wanted to protest, but he knew it was true. Hitsugaya had gone three times already tonight, and all the times the night before. Ichigo had been pretending to sleep, nervous and unsure of how to calm a crying baby. Of course, the fourth time it went off, Hitsugaya had kicked him really hard and told him to go tend to his children. Ichigo was unsure of what to do, but when he got there, he just felt like he knew. He gently rocked Hatsuko and soon she fell asleep. Ichigo placed the girl back into the crib and looked over his children. The two girls, Hatsuko and Umeko were identical, with orange hair, the only difference was Hatsuko had brown eyes and Umeko had teal eyes. Kiyoshi, his tiny son, was smaller then the two girls and haven't cried once, yet.

"Why can't your sisters be like you, you sleep like a log," Ichigo said as he gentle rubbed the soft, baby cheek. Ichigo smiled as he saw the little puff of white hair finally coming in. Also, Ichigo was amazed when he saw Kiyoshi's eyes.

One was chocolate brown and the other was teal green.

He looked over his kids once more then went back to bed. He laid down and rapped his arms around his Toshiro, burying his face in his lovers snow white hair.

"So, who gets called what?" Renji asked Ichigo as they leaned over the crib which was set up in Hitsugaya's office. Hitsugaya looked up briefly from his paper work.

"What?" Ichigo asked. He sighed, 'Of course, he needs an explanation,' Hitsugaya thought as he went back to the paperwork, he'll let Ichigo deal with this.

"You know, ('No he doesn't,' Hitsugaya thought) who gets called what? Are you gonna be daddy, mommy, father, etc," Renji said as Ichigo picked up Kiyoshi who was reaching up.

"Oh, um, well, I guess Hitsugaya would be mommy and I'll be dad."

"Excuse me," Hitsugaya said placing his brush down. "As much as a mother I might be I am a male and refuse to give a female title," he said as he walked up to Ichigo and took Kiyoshi.

"Hn, then what? We can't both be dad."

"Well, I'll be daddy and you can be dad," Hitsugaya said as he sat down on the couch and placed Kiyoshi on his back and played with the little feet. The boy giggling happily.

"Well, there's your answer," Ichigo said as he shrugged. "So when are we gonna leave, Toshiro?"

Ichigo and Hitsugaya had been assigned a mission in the living world for a few days along with Renji, Rukia, and Matsumoto. It seems a few hollows have been causing a ruckus and also some left over arrancar from the war.

"I told you, when everybody gets here," Hitsugaya said. Ichigo noticed the worry on Toshiro's face when he returned Kiyoshi to the crib.

"What's wrong?"

"...are you sure there's no one?"

Ichigo sighed. "Toshiroooooooooo, we've been over this already."

"I know! It's just..."

"I asked everyone who was capable of handling the kids and they all have their hands full. Unohana has to deal with those stupid academy kids, they keep blowing themselves up. Ukitake hasn't been feeling well, he did want to watch them, but he couldn't even get out of bed. Kyoraku, forget him. Byakuya has to deal with his division, they got a bunch of new people. He said, "I have to put them in their place"."

"Those new people are a pain in the ass," Renji said as Ichigo took a breath.

"Zaraki, forget it, and—"

"Ok, ok!" Hitsugaya cut him off.

"Look, they'll be fine with Urahara."

"My, my! Look at those little angels!" Urahara said as he saw the little bundles. Urahara, Tessai, Jinta, Ururu and Yoruichi were all waiting for the group to arrive.

"Here, take her! I think she ripped most of my hair out," Ichigo said as he handed Hatsuko, who was strapped to his back, to Urahara.

"Wow, Ichigo, she looks just like you," Urahara said as he cradled the baby girl. Hitsugaya had to fix his hold on Kiyoshi, who was starting to fidget, he was reaching out to the black cat on the ground. Hitsugaya crouched down and held him out to Yoruichi. She walked foward and the boy felt the soft fur. Hitsugaya smiled at how cute the scene was, but that all ended when Kiyoshi had a firm grip on one of he ears.

"Defiantly Ichigo's son," Yoruichi said as she rubbed her head, remembering the time Ichigo grabbed her tail.

They all sat around a table, drinking tea, all were silent as Hitsugaya gave everyone instructions, but not on the mission, on how the kids need to be taken care off.

"Taicho, we have to start patrolling," Matsumoto said as she started to drag him out of the room.

As he was getting dragged he firmly grabbed the doorframe and yelled out a few more things. Ichigo had to pick up the child taicho to get him out of the house.

"Heh, he really cares," Urahara said.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Jeez, Ichigo, sorry I care about how are kids are treated," he said as he crossed his arms.

"They'll be fine, as much as Urahara is annoying, he's also responsible. And if it makes you feel better Yoruichi's there."

The two departed and scanned the town. Nothing interesting happened, that is until several high reiatsu appeared. Hitsugaya immediately headed towards the site.

"Hitsugaya taicho!" Rukia shouted. "This reiatsu..."

"Yeah, it's probably a few arrancar," he said as he felt the wind rushing in his face. As he neared the area his eyes widened. Matsumoto and Renji were already there fighting them off, but they were highly out numbered.

Hitsugaya wasn't going to hesitate.

"BANKAI!"

- - - - - - - - - - -

Ichigo might have been bad at sensing reiatsu, but when Toshiro's spiked, he knew exactly where to go.

"TAICHO!" Ichigo heard as he neared where the fight was taking place. His eyes widened as he saw a claw slash through Hitsugaya's ice wings and deep into his back. Hitsugaya's bankai shattered and he fell onto one knee.

"Getsuga Tenshōo!"

"Ichigo!" Renji said as he killed another arrancar and headed to everyone, surrounding Hitsugaya.

"Rukia, take Toshiro to Urahara," Ichigo said.

"Right," Rukia put one hand around Toshiro's waist and his arm over her neck.

"Ichigo, be careful," he said.

"Bankai, TENSA ZANGETSU!"
