It had been a little over 2 years since the almost execution day. Grimmjow and Ichigo's child, who they named Mai after Grimmjow's decreased mother was born happy and healthy, looking just like Grimmjow. Ichigo was also pregnant again much to everyone's surprise. Kuro, despite being only 17 was now in his first year of college studying music. He lived in a large apartment with Grimmjow, Ichigo, Mai, Kon, Shiro, and Gin. Hel and Pantera lived with the now married pair of Urahara and Shinji. Byakuya and Renji were happily expecting twins and Rukia was ready to spoil them. Shiro was fucking Gin at every possible time, trying to get their own bundle of joy.

Ichigo and Grimmjow had Kuro and Kon sit down in the living room on the couch. "Grimmjow asked me to marry him" Ichigo started.

"Grimm-daddy and mommy are getting married" Kon squealed.

Ichigo waited till Kon was done squealing before he continued. "And I wanted to ask you two what you think"

"You two should have done it 2 years ago" Kon stated.

Ichigo looked at Kuro. "He makes you happy so I don't really care" Kuro replied.

Ichigo frowned. He didn't want an 'I don't care' thing he wanted a yes or a no. Ichigo opened his mouth to question but Kuro continued. "Married is just a title…you two already have 3 kids with a 4th on the way and are closer and more loving to each other than most married couples"

"Translation…Kuro already accepted Grimmjow as family" Shiro chuckled from the hallway where he was only in jeans and his hair was plastered over his forehead from his shower.

"Technically he's been family since I turned him into a cat" Kuro shrugged.

"Awww Nii-san's going soft" Kon teased.

Kuro rolled his eyes. Then he stood. "Well I am guess since there's gonna be a wedding soon, I need to write a love song" Kuro teased his parents. Ichigo blushed and Grimmjow grinned. "Already got the perfect idea" Kuro added.

"How exactly do you write a love song if you aren't in love?" Shiro snorted.

Kuro started to blush. "Nii-san likes that cute boy who works at the ice cream place…why do you think he has had that strange urge for ice cream all the time recently?" Kon teased.

Kuro blushed harder. "Shut up Kon" Kuro growled.

"Why?" Kon asked innocently.

Kuro just scowled and started to leave the room. "I got to get ready for work" he muttered.

"He doesn't work for another 2 hours" Grimmjow noted.

"He needs his after breakfast snack, ice cream" Kon teased.

"SHUT UP KON" Kuro yelled from another room.

Shiro went and plopped on the couch with a chuckle. Kon took his position cuddled up to his other father-like figure with a humanoid purr. Shiro smirked at Ichigo and Grimmjow. "So when did he propose? And how?" Shiro asked dramatically.

Ichigo blushed. "Well after dinner last night, we went for a walk and we ended up on that bridge, you know the one where we 'died' at?" Ichigo stated.

Shiro chuckled. "Yeah"

"Well he proposed to me on the bridge…where we met" Ichigo finished, blushing a deep red.

Shiro laughed. "Awww, who knew the kitty was a romance." Shiro teased.

Grimmjow snorted. "Actually it wasn't my idea" Grimmjow replied.

Shiro and Ichigo looked surprised. "Grimm-daddy talked to me and Kuro last week about this…and Kuro gave the proposing idea" Kon giggled.

"He's quite a romantic kid" Grimmjow chuckled.

"I just know girls and betas better than you…my mom in specific" Kuro snorted as he came into the room. He had changed into his work uniform; he worked at an anime store because it gave him reason to not hide his Neko features.

"Bring me back some pocky" Kon called. "…And ask out your crush already," the oranget child added with a giggle.

Kuro stuck his tongue out at Kon and disappeared out the door with a short call back to them. "Love you guys!"

Ichigo sighed happily. He had a perfect family. He couldn't be happier. Plus he was going to be marring the man he loved. Life was happy than he had thought he could be. Life went up when Grimmjow came, even if it spiraled down for a short period he wouldn't have wanted it to play out any differently.

The oranget smirked, tilting his head up to his soon-to-be husband. "How many other romantic decisions did Kuro influence?" he asked.

"Any big one…" Grimmjow muttered, embarrassed.

Ichigo laughed. "Should I just write down what to do?" Ichigo asked.

"Hell no, I like surprising you…none of the ideas have gone completely right…don't you like the surprises of life?" Grimmjow teased.

Ichigo smiled. "Love them…they bought us together" Ichigo purred.

"Kuro and Aizen are the surprises of life?" Kon blinked.

Ichigo laughed. "no dear" Ichigo started.

"SHIRO I'M PREGNANT" Gin called as he raced into the room.

"That's the surprises of life" Ichigo stated before he broke down into laughter.

Life isn't fair or easy, it's full of twists and turns but life will always give you something irreplaceable and the happiness you thought you would never get. Life is the bitch that slaps you silly and then kisses you lovingly. Weather you love or hate life; life will always give you chances again and again to have it. And what it is, you don't know, but you want it and you will get it. That is life's promise.

And this brings the story to a close...and the thing at the very end is kinda like Ichigo's final thoughts to end the story I guess

And I couldn't help myself...Kuro need to be embarrassed xD

Also the bridge is from the prouloge
