Secrets Foretold

Chapter Twelve: Birth

When the sun rose and is high up in the sky, some of its rays managed to pierce through the small windows on the slide door and onto the sleeping face of Hitsugaya Toshiro. He winced for a moment and slowly turned his body to the side, facing away from the light. Feeling the nearby warmth next to him, he began snuggling against it. Just as he threw an arm over it, it moved along with the warmth.

Hitsugaya opened his emerald-teal eyes to see that the person who was sleeping beside him left the room. He slowly sat up from the comfort of his futon and rubbed an eye with his wrist. "Momo..."

A few minutes later, she returned to the room and noticed the white haired Shinigami is awake. "Sorry, did I wake you up?" the raven haired girl asked.

Placing the bottom of his foot on the futon, Hitsugaya brushed his loose bangs off to the side with his hand. Giving her a stern look, he said, "Of course you did baka."

Momo then felt guilty and began looking down at her nine month swollen belly. (A/N: I think during this time around, pregnant women can't really see the floor anymore. xD)

Hitsugaya noticed her behaviour and let out a small sigh. He then stood up from bed and walked over to her. Placing his arms around her neck, he pulled her close so that her back made contact with his chest. Lowering his head, he began snuggling his cheek against hers. "...I'm not angry at you. There is no reason to be. Besides, it's natural to be using the washroom more frequently than usual."

Hinamori smiled. "So ka?"

He then placed a hand on her belly and felt the baby kick from her womb. The lovers looked at one another and gave each other a good morning's kiss. "There is not much time left."

"No there isn't," Momo replied. "Anytime now, I will go into labour and give birth to our baby."

"Yeah, anytime now..."


An hour later when everyone in the main house is up and awake, Hitsugaya and Hinamori went to the living room for breakfast. "Ohayo O-" Momo greeted as she turned her attention to the guest that decided to drop by and visit. "Eh, Rangiku-san!"

"Ohayo Hinamori," Matsumoto greeted as she gave her a short wave. "Good morning taicho!"

"You look very happy today Matsumoto," Hitsugaya commented.

"Of course I am, I have always been ever since you two became a couple. At any moment now, you two are closer to becoming parents of your newborn child! I don't even care if you start going into labour right now Hinamori."

Hearing her state that, Momo started to feel a bit uneasy. "Ano Rangiku-san..."

"The last thing we want right now is a pregnant woman getting a heart attack," Hitsugaya retorted. "Stop making Momo feel even more nervous than she already is."

"Hai hai taicho."

As Hitsugaya is helping Hinamori to sit down, the slide door opened. Heads turned to see Miyako, Tatsuya, and Suzuna enter the room. "Oto-san, Okaa-san, Suzuna-chan!" Momo said.

"Morning Momo-chan," Suzuna greeted, smiling at the girl. She then turned to see Hitsugaya at her side. "So what your parents told me are true after all. You and Hayashi-kun really did separated."

"Well, yeah...but it's under special condi--"

She then grinned. "Right after the divorce happened, you immediately started your romantic relationship with your childhood friend. How sly of you to do that Momo-chan."

Momo blushed. "Mou Suzuna-chan!"

"Okay, okay, I'll get off your back," Suzuna replied, holding up both her hands up. "Besides, it seems like your boyfriend is about ready to speak his words out to defend you."

"So ka?" She turned to Hitsugaya who just let out a deep sigh. A few seconds later, he would have started an argument with the doctor. Momo resumed her attention to her best friend. "So what are you doing here?"

"Isn't that obvious? The days are drawing closer to the moment of truth and as your best friend, I'm also worried about you."

"Sorry to worry you Suzuna-chan."

"Don't be sorry Momo-chan. Just worry about taking care of yourself, okay?"

She slowly nodded with agreement. "Hai."

"How are you feeling sweetie?" Miyako asked.

"I'm alright."

"Have you been feeling extreme back pain lately?"

She shook her head. "Not really. I guess the baby's not ready to come out yet."

"I see." All of a sudden, Momo felt a nudge from her swollen stomach. "Oh..."

Hitsugaya noticed his girlfriend's behaviour. He asked, "What's wrong Momo?"

Immediately, Tatsuya rushed to Momo's side and exclaimed, "Peach, you're in labour!"

While the others made questionable looks at the head of the Hinamori family, the former fukutaicho giggled. Momo replied, "Daijobou Oto-san, the baby just kicked that's all."

He then turned to the family doctor. "Suzuna-chan!"

Momo, Rangiku, and Suzuna all let out a sigh. Tatsuya is so protective. "Tatsuya-kun, it's alright. Our daughter will call out when it's time," Miyako said. "Contractions are fairly noticeable especially for first time mothers."

"But what if i s--" Tatsuya said before Miyako interrupted.

"Have some faith in her okay?"

After taking a moment to look at his wife, Tatsuya then turned his attention to Momo and Toshiro. He finally sighed with defeat. "Fine then."

Miyako smiled and gave him a loving kiss on the cheek. "You're so sweet honey."

"Hai Miyako-chan."

"Now enough with the chatting, let's all eat lunch already!" Matsumoto exclaimed. "Miyako-san's cooking is the best!"

The mistress of the household giggled. "Oh please Rangiku-chan, you flatter me."

"Somebody is definitely hungry after work," Hitsugaya said.

"Yeah...she is," Hinamori agreed.


After everyone finished their meal, Miyako cleaned up the table and gathered the empty plates. Just as she is about to stand up, Suzuna left her seat and placed her hands on the dishes. "Suzuna-chan," Miyako said.

She smiled at the mistress. "Let me help."

Miyako returned the feeling likewise. "Arigato, you're so helpful."

"Ano, I can help to--" Momo said before she is interrupted by her best friend.

"Oh no you don't Momo-chan!" Suzuna exclaimed. "Let us handle this. Besides, it's going to take a while for you to stand up anyway."

Momo didn't like being treated like a baby, but it can't be helped. They're only worried about her. "Okay, if you say so."

"Yosh! In the meantime, why don't you stay with your Shinigami friend, boyfriend, and father?"

"Ah...hai."

Nodding back at the raven haired girl, Suzuna left with the mistress to kitchen and wash dishes. Matsumoto then let out a sigh of relief. She placed a hand on her stomach and gently rubbed it. "Mm, that meal was delicious! I'm stuffed!"

"At least we know that you're going to have a nice sleep," Hitsugaya commented.

"You got that right taicho!"

Momo looked over and noticed her father has been watching Hitsugaya for quite some time now. "Oto-san..." she said.

"Your mother has explained the whole story," Tatsuya said, "about how you and Tamotsu got into a fight and how you ran away from home to be with him for a night."

"So...ka?" Momo lowered her head. "I-I'm sorry for not telling you or Okaa-san earlier."

"I-It's alright. It is I who is in the wrong. I forced you in the whole marriage thing in the first place when you didn't want to. Can...you forgive me?"

Momo lifted her head and smiled at the head of the house. "Of course I would. I can never hate you."

Just then a Hell Butterfly flew into the room. Noticing it flutter above them, Hitsugaya extended his finger out. The insect landed on it and transmitted its message. When it flew away, the captain of the tenth division turned to his lieutenant. "Let's go," he said.

As they are leaving their seats, Hinamori asked, "What's wrong Toshiro?"

"Hollows are attacking West Rukongai District 80. If we don't deal with them now, there is a good chance that they're going to come here and attack."

"I...see."

"Don't worry Hinamori. We'll be back as quickly as possible," Matsumoto replied.

Hitsugaya gave her a short lip kiss. He whispered, "I'll be back soon."

She slowly nodded with agreement. "Be careful out there."

With that said, Hitsugaya and Matsumoto both stood up and equipped their soul cutters on their backs. The fukutaicho opened the slide door to outside. Just as they were about to leave, Tatsuya stood up. "Toshiro."

Hitsugaya stopped his movements and then turned to the head of the household. Momo look with anticipation. What does her father has to say to her boyfriend? "Y-You better not die out there."

Hitsugaya then showed a smirk. "That would be stupid Tatsuya-san. There is no way I'm going to force Momo to becoming a single mother nor will I let my child grow up fatherless."

As a result, the two Shinigami left the main house. Miyako and Suzuna returned to the living room to find the place more empty than it usually is. "Where's Toshiro-kun and Rangiku-chan?" Miyako asked.

"A group of Hollows appeared outside the gates," Momo explained. "They went there to exterminate them."

"Aww, and I just brought some dessert for them."

"What is it?"

"Watermelon slices."

Momo blinked as Tatsuya questioned, "Watermelon? We don't have watermelons around these parts."

"That's right, we don't. Toshiro-kun's grandmother sent them to us. She grows them herself in her garden in West Rukongai District One, Junrin'an."

"Really?" he asked as Momo picked up a slice and began eating it quickly.

"Yes, from what Toshiro-kun told me, our daughter has been craving them lately. So, he asked her to send some over."

"I see."

All of a sudden, Momo dropped her fifth slice of watermelon on the floor. "What's wrong Peach?" Tatsuya asked as he, Suzuna, and Miyako looked at the girl.

"You're such a klutz Momo-chan. You practically dirtied the floor," Suzuna said.

One look down at herself, the raven haired girl felt another strike of pain hit her. She clutched her stomach with her arms and hands. "I-I...I think my water broke," she said.

"Oh, her water broke..." Tatsuya said. "...WHAT?!"

"Oh my goodness! The time has finally arrived!" Miyako said joyfully. "Take her to her room. I'll get the water and towels ready!"

With that said, the mother bolted out of the living room, leaving the other two to take care of her. Tatsuya and Suzuna rushed to Momo's side. "Don't worry Momo-chan, just breathe like how your mother told you. The pain will ease soon."

Momo began to breathe in and out and in and out in slow and unison breaths.

"Just a little longer and everything will be all over," Tatsuya said as he took her hand.

The soon to be mother looked at her father and then said, "T-Toshiro...he-he has to know."

"Peach, the baby is not going to wait for him."

All of a sudden, Momo grabbed her father's robe and exclaimed, "Bring me Toshiro now! There is NO way I'm going to sit here and allow my child to be born without my boyfriend at my side! I'm not going through all this without him!"

"But Momo-chan, it's too dangerous for us to go out there and tell him," Suzuna said.

The next contraction really hurt her. She gave out a yell. "Peach!" Tatsuya exclaimed.

"Momo-chan!"

If only she isn't the one pregnant; she would have flash stepped her way to the battlefield and tell him. "What can I do?" she thought. "I don't want him to miss it..."


There were cries and yells in the battlefield. Shinigami of the tenth division are cutting down Hollows one by one while others such as Hitsugaya and Matsumoto are dealing with them in large groups. "We're done here," Hitsugaya said.

All of a sudden, another garganta opened, allowing another raid of Hollows and a few newcomers, the Menos to join the fight. "What were you saying taicho?" Matsumoto asked.

"Never mind, resume eliminating them!"

"Yes captain!" everyone exclaimed.

Suddenly, a Hell Butterfly arrived, transmitting its message. "Toshiro!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Hitsugaya and Matsumoto looked at the flying insect. "Momo? W-What's wrong?" Hitsugaya asked.

"Hurry back quick or else you're going to miss the whole thing!"

"Miss the whole thing?" the tenth division captain thought for a moment before realization just hit him. "W-WHAT?! YOU'RE IN LABOUR?!"

"Hurry Toshiro! I can't wait anymor--AHH!"

"Momo!" Just as the butterfly flew away, Hitsugaya growled with frustration and sliced the approaching Hollow in half. "Damn you Hollows! Your timing's terrible!"

"Captain, just go!" Matsumoto exclaimed. "I'll take over your position for a while!"

"But Matsu--"

"What are you standing there for?! You're Hinamori's boyfriend and the baby's father!" the fukutaicho exclaimed. "It's your responsibility to be there for them both!"

"I--"

The strawberry orange haired Shinigami smiled. "I'll catch up with you later...they need you."

He then nodded with agreement. "Arigato Matsumoto."

With that said, he used all the shunpo he had within him and quickly left the battlefield. His only goal now is to return to his lover's side and witness the birth of their child.


"MOMO!" Hitsugaya exclaimed as he opened the slide doors to the bedroom where he sensed Hinamori's presence in. At this point in time, he exhausted himself good. Luckily, that is the least of his worries.

"Toshiro-kun," Miyako said.

"Took you long enough," Tatsuya added.

The raven haired girl gave out another yell. Immediately, the white haired Shinigami rushed to her side. Taking her hand with his own, he raised up and said, "It's alright Momo. I'm here now."

Opening her eyes to see her boyfriend there, Hinamori gave him a small smile. "You made it...Shiro-chan."

As the lovers kissed, Saito Suzuna, who has been monitoring the situation for a while, said, "Sorry to interrupt your lovey-dovey moment, but just to let you know, everything's all set and ready to go."

"So...ka?" Momo asked.

She smiled and nodded. "Are you ready Momo-chan?"

Taking one look at her loving parents, then her best friend, and then her boyfriend, Momo said, "I'm ready."

"Alright then. Push!"

Taking a deep breath, the delivery procedure began. Momo gave out a grunt as she did as she was told. "You can do this Peachy," Miyako encouraged.

"Come on..." Tatsuya said.

Toshiro could feel Momo's grip on him becoming tighter as every passing minute went by. "Momo..."

"Keep going!" Suzuna said.

Giving another fierce push, Momo suddenly ran out of energy and panted with exhaustion. "I-I can't..." she said. "It...it's too hard."

"Don't say that, it's almost out."

"I know it's hard sweetie," Miyako said. "I know because I've been there before."

"Okaa-san..." Momo said.

She smiled. "To be honest, you were very difficult. You refused to come out when I had to give birth to you."

"W-What happened?"

"I didn't give up trying because...I wanted to hold you for the first time. When you finally did come out, all the stress I had before, it all disappeared. I became very emotional...because all my hard work over the past nine months has finally paid off."

"Okaa-san."

Wiping a small tear from the corner of her eye, Miyako said, "Now...let's continue, okay?"

Momo smiled and nodded. "Alright."

"Let's try this again," Suzuna said.

"Hai."

"Push!"

Momo did as she was told and pushed. "Momo..." Hitsugaya said.

She took one look at her boyfriend. "Toshiro?"

He rubbed the surface of her hand with his fingertips and gave her a gentle smile. She knew what he wanted to say. You're a strong person. I know you can deal with this. She smiled back with thanks. With a deep breath, Momo gave a particular loud short yell as she pushed.

"The head...it's coming out!" Miyako exclaimed. At that moment, Tatsuya couldn't take much more and then collapsed onto the floor. "Keep going Momo-chan!"

After a few more pushes, Suzuna suddenly said, "Okay, you can stop now."

Momo let out a deep exhaled while Hitsugaya let out a sigh of relief. Moments later, they heard wailing noises of a baby's cries. The two lovers stopped and looked at one another. Turning to where Suzuna is, Hitsugaya and Hinamori suddenly felt awed with amazement and so full of emotion as she held up their newborn child out in front of them. The doctor smiled and said, "Congratulations you two; your baby girl is born."

Tears started swelling in the young mother's eyes. "She's here. Our baby's finally here...Toshiro."

"Yeah, she is." Hitsugaya said. "You've done an excellent job bringing her into this world."

Just as he leaned over to give his girlfriend a warm kiss, he felt nauseous all of a sudden. He quickly pulled back and placed a hand over his mouth. "Toshiro?" Momo asked.

"Sorry...I'll be back," he quickly said before disappearing out the door.

"He looks...sick for some reason."

"He almost made it," Miyako said as she gave a silly grin.

Turning to her mother, who is now fanning her fainted husband. Suzuna let out a sigh of defeat as she cut the baby's tides with her mother and began washing her in warm water. "Men these days...even though they're able to withstand many hardships and brutality such as war and conflict, they can't handle something as small as the miracle of life."

Momo giggled. "I suppose so, but at least...Toshiro didn't miss any moment of it. I'm certain he has been holding it in this whole time."

Once Suzuna is done, she wrapped the clean baby in a soft light blue towel. Carrying the bundle in her arms, she walked to Momo's side and smiled. "You can hold her now."

The raven haired girl looked up at Suzuna and then the sniffling baby. Extending her arms out, her best friend handed the newborn for her to carry. "My baby girl...I'm holding her in my arms."

She slowly rocked the child back and forth.

During this time around, Hitsugaya returned to the bedroom. He let out a sigh of relief. If he held it in for one second later, the moment would have turned into a complete embarrassment. "Don't cry...I'm here. Your mother, Hinamori Momo is going to take care of you."

He looked over to find the young mother, holding their baby in her arms. He silently returned to Momo glance up at the tenth division captain and smiled. They looked down at the baby. Momo said, "This is your father, Hitsugaya Toshiro."

Hitsugaya sat down on the bed next to his love and his child. He said, "She inherited a lot of her mother's appearance."

Then, a pair of emerald-teal eyes opened. Momo smiled and began caressing the small patch of snowy white bangs the baby has aside. "All except her eyes and bangs. She got them from you."

He gave her a faint smile. "I could see that."

Momo turned to her boyfriend and held out the bundle of joy out to him. "Do you want to hold her?"

Hitsugaya felt nervous about the idea. Never in his whole life he has ever held a baby in his arms. He knew from that point on that theory and first hand experience is two totally different things. "I-I..."

"Just hold her for a while."

Before he knew it, Momo handed his child over for him to hold. For the next few minutes, Hitsugaya just sat there and held her. Judging by the way the baby girl is looking at him with slight curiosity, it appears she's trying to figure out the new world that beholds her. He smiled and leaned over to give her a light kiss on the forehead. "You said before that if you ended up having a baby girl, you would give her the name that you always wanted to name your child."

"Toshiro...but what if you don't like it?"

"You said so yourself; I would love it regardless."

Momo gave him a small smile and said, "Shia. Shia Hitsugaya. That will be her name."

"So ka?" He took one look at the baby and then back to Momo. "I think it suits her too."

Then they heard a groan. The lovers turned their heads to the side to see Tatsuya regaining consciousness from the floor. He slowly sat up and placed a hand on the side of his forehead. He muttered, "W-What happened?"

"You fainted as Momo-chan is giving birth to her daughter," Miyako explained.

Turning to his wife, he said, "W-W-What? D-Daughter? It's a girl?"

Miyako nodded with agreement. "Yes, their child is a girl. Her name is Shia-chan."

"I see...a baby girl. My granddaughter Shia-chan."

All of a sudden, he collapsed once more on the floor, alerting both Momo and Toshiro. "Oto-san!" the raven haired girl exclaimed.

"Oi Tatsuya-san!" Hitsugaya said.

"Daijobou," Miyako replied, smiling. "He did the same thing when I gave birth to you Momo-chan."

"S-So ka?" Momo said.

Taking another look at his daughter, Hitsugaya noticed that Shia fell asleep in his arms. "I guess that's expected; newborn babies sleep almost twenty-four hours a day."

"What's wrong Toshiro?"

"No, Shia just fell asleep."

"I see. She must have felt very comfortable and protected in your arms."

"I guess..."

Suddenly, the slide door opened. Heads turned to see the panting strawberry orange haired Shinigami at the door. "Rangiku-chan," Miyako said.

"Is everything here alright?" Matsumoto asked.

"Shh, you're so noisy," Hitsugaya whispered. "Shia just fell asleep."

"Shia-chan? You mean...the baby is a girl?" she asked, walking up to the baby's parents.

Momo nodded with agreement. "Yeah, she is."

"Aww...she's so cute. She looks just like her mother...well, except for the white bangs, of course."

"Wait until she opens her eyes."

"Oh, you've seen them?"

"Hai, she has the same eyes as her father."

"I see."

"Anyway, it's time to leave the new family alone," Suzuna said.

"Aw, but I just came here," Matsumoto pouted.

Suzuna suddenly pushed the fukutaicho towards the door. "Come on Rangiku-san, Momo-chan needs her rest now."

"Okay okay, fine then. I'll see you two later."

"If you need anything, you know where to find Suzuna-chan and myself," Momo's mother said.

"Ah hai, arigato Okaa-san," Momo said.

Giving her daughter and son in-law a short nod of agreement, Miyako walked out of the bedroom as a few of her hired guards carried her unconscious husband along with her. It is not long after that the Hitsugaya family is left all alone.

Momo let out a sigh of relief and snuggled deeper under her covers. "You deserve the rest Momo," Hitsugaya said.

She smiled. "Yeah...I do. Will you stay here until I fall asleep?"

Hitsugaya left his seat and pulled up a sofa next to her bedside. He leaned over to her and gave a loving lip kiss before sitting down on his new seat. "Even better; I'll be by your side until you're ready to move around again."

"So ka? Arigato."

"I love you Momo."

"I love you too...Shiro-chan."

She slowly closed her chocolate brown eyes and went to sleep.


"Rangiku-san, wait!" a voice called out. The fukutaicho of the tenth division stopped and turned around to see the raven haired girl flash step to her with baby Shia wrapped in her arms. It has been a little over week since the young mother gave birth to her newborn daughter and already Momo is feeling all up and ready to move around. The infant is asleep.

"Hinamori..."

"Are you sure you have to leave?" Hinamori asked. "You know, you're allowed to stay a little longer."

The strawberry orange haired woman then shook her head. "I would love to stay, but I have to go back and look after matters in the tenth division."

"Bu--"

"Don't worry, I'm sure taicho will tell me the specific details later after you two return to Seireitei, right?" She winked.

"Rangiku-san, you mean that..."

Placing her hands on her hips, she leaned over and continued, "What are you talking about Hinamori? Of course taicho has to stay here. Besides, he's the father of your child! It's part of his responsibility to help you take care of Shia-chan."

"In the meantime, you better be doing your job," said a voice.

The two girls turned to the side to see Hitsugaya standing there at their sides with his arms folded over his chest. "Taicho!"

Letting out a sigh, he then walked to Momo's side. He turned to Matsumoto. "Even though I won't be at the office for the next month, it doesn't mean you get to slack off. The last thing I want is to clean up after your mess again."

"Hai hai, I understand completely captain," Matsumoto cheerfully replied. She then looked behind her to see the tenth division members waiting for her. "Anyway, it's time for me to go. Have fun taking care of each other and the baby! I'll see you two again very soon!"

"Bye Rangiku-san!" Momo called out. "I'll see you soon!"

"You better or else I'm going to have to drag you there myself!"

Momo giggled.

Once the members of the tenth division left the Hinamori noble family territory, the two lovers looked at one another and smiled. Hitsugaya leaned over and gave her a fairly tight shoulder hug. "I love you."

"I love you too."

All of a sudden, they heard giggling noises. Hitsugaya and Hinamori looked down to see baby Shia awake and looking very happy. She raised her arms out, trying to reach out to them. Momo raised her bundle of joy higher so that she can cuddle against her cheek with her own. Shia did a high pitch laugh. "Shiro-chan, do you think Rangiku-san's going to spill the news about us?"

Wrapping an arm around her waist, he pulled his family close. He kissed the baby's forehead and then kissed his girlfriend's lips. "I think you know the answer to that question without me saying it."

Momo smiled. "Of course."

Author's Note: Ew, sorry about the birth scene. I think it's poorly written considering that I never witnessed birth first hand. I keep hearing stories about it which reminds me...when my aunt was giving birth to my cousin, my uncle was supposed to watch the whole birth scene, but...unfortunately, ran away and vomited in the washroom. By the time he came back, he missed his son's birth. Oh well, at least he got to cut the umbilical cord. xD (Yeah...used that story for Toshiro's case. At least he didn't miss his daughter's birth. xD)

Anyway, baby Shia's born and the family's all happy...well, except for Tatsuya. LOL. He wanted a boy...poor guy. There's only one chapter left. In the meantime, please review. Thanks!
