DON'T WORRY, IT WILL BE ONLY FOR THE NEXT 2 OR 3 CHAPTERS. PEACE!
Ichigo was resting in the room across the hall, Uryu was taking care of him while everyone had changed into comfortable clothes and were sitting in the hall. There was a comfortable silence for some reason. All of them had met only for a day yet it was soothing to have nothing to do.
Suddenly 3 cups of tea appeared on the teapoy in front of them along with two cups of milk.
Everyone looked at Tony with questioning looks.
"I heard Japanese drink a lot of tea. And the milk is for the kids" Tony said as he looked over the kids who were drawing while all the crayons and paper were scattered in front of them, with a smile.
"Well we do" Rukia said with a chuckle.
"But-" Orihime frowned looking at the milk.
"The milk isn't for you, but if you want-" Tony was cut off by Orihime,
"Kazui drinks milk only if Ichigo tells him to"
"Really? Why?" Clint asked with curiosity. He was never with his children most of the time so he missed out on some parenting facts.
"Well when Kazui was young, like very young, Ichigo was the one who used to take care of him the most. My body was weak for most of the 6 months after i got out of the hospital. I was on bed rest. The doctors didn't knew why i was so weak even though Kazui seemed like a normal child except for his hair. But still, they discharged me. But i was not able to run around much. Unohana, the captain of 4th division of soul society, the healing division, told me it's because Kazui had high spiritual pressure just like Ichigo. So it took a bit too much of my spiritual pressure to give birth to him" Orihime said as she drank her tea and then swished the tea in the cup as she lovingly eyed her wedding ring.
Then she continued,
"So Ichigo took care of him while he took a long leave as the captain of the 5th division. It's actually hard to explain, i felt bad to do that. But one day when i was watching the videos of the spiritual nanny cam, i found something i never thought Ichigo used to do. The spiritual nanny cam was a gift from soul society, it was made so that any kind of spiritual activity in Kazui's room can be detected. He has a high spiritual pressure, so he could have attracted hollows. So one day Ichigo took Kazui outside for some fresh air while i sat and watched some of the videos of the previous week of that time. It's actually hard to explain. If i just had a video" Orihime said with a sad smile.
Everyone was curious to know what it was about, even Rukia and Renji haven't watched it.
Suddenly Jarvis's robotic arm came down and said,
'Sir there is a parcel. Please sign it'
Another robotic arm came down with a tablet and Tony signed it.
The parcel was placed on the teapoy, Nat took it and opened it.
There was a pendrive in it.
"What's this?" Nat said looking a bit skeptical.
Everyone tensed, what if it was a virus, if they plugged it in, something bad can happen, especially Jarvis was here as well, they don't want an Ultron incident part two.
Suddenly something caught Steve's eye, he looked where Nick Fury was standing just gazing down at the street, in his own thoughts. But that was not what worried him, the fact that there was a red ball flying towards them was what scared him.
"Fury! Duck!" Steve said.
With an quick reflex Fury ducked but whatever the red thing was, it just splattered itself on the glass wall/window.
For some reason, everyone knew what was coming, a message.
The blood red mesaage said,
'Inoue san, sorry for the interuption but i wanted to apologize for my intrusion through your personal stuff. I found the nanny cam in the last draw so i took it and found the video you wanted to watch. Don't ask how i know, i just know everything'
Everyone just stared at the message while Rukia got up and ran towards Kazui and Ichika. She was looking them over and suddenly said,
"Aha!"
She took out a very small camera and microphone from Kazui's shirt.
She threw it on the floor and started to crush it countless times as she yelled,
"Kisuke you creep!"
Then there was a p.s. message revealed on the glass wall.
'Well Rukia san if i remember correctly when you and Renji had got married, you told me to spy on him for the next two weeks just so you could see whether he looks at other woman or not'
Rukia blushed hard while Renji instead of getting angry started to laugh at her, now everyone started to chuckle.
'This kisuke guy seems like a savage' Tony thought with a smirk.
Suddenly Rukia took out her chappy drawing book and threw it on Renji's face.
He fell back still chuckling, yet in pain.
"Well the video is here so let's watch it" Rukia puffed out as she walked back towards the couch and changed the topic.
Everyone nodded, still holding back their laughter while the kids looked at Rukia with a weary look.
Jarvis plugged in the video in the T.v. in front of them while Kazui and Ichika moved into another room cause earlier they were sitting in front of the T.v. to draw.
The video started playing, there was nothing but black screen for the first few seconds, then suddenly the screen lit up revealing a baby crib in a room that was filled with other toys on the floor. The baby was moving around and then suddenly started crying.
"Why is the camera recording? Didn't you say that it records only if there is a spiritual activity?" Clint asked.
"Kazui was a baby at that time. So he was not able to control his spiritual pressure when he cried or was too happy or angry" Orihime said as she continued to look at the screen.
Suddenly there were voices outside, it was none other than Ichigo and Orihime.
In Video Dialogue:
'You should go and sleep, let me take of him at least once' Orihime said yet there was a hint of weakness in her voice.
'You are not well, besides i am habitual to waking up so late. It's okay, you go, i will take care of him' Ichigo said gently.
At the mention of night, all of them looked at the corner of the screen to see that it was 3 in the morning.
Even though they could not see his face cause the conversation took place outside the room, they knew that Ichigo cared for Orihime and his son with all his heart.
Suddenly the door of the room opened and Ichigo walked into Kazui's room. He picked up the crying baby from the crib. He placed it's head on his shoulders and kept his hand on Kazui's head to keep it still and used his other hand for support to hold the baby. He started to jump up and down gently on his toes to calm him down. He opened the window of the room to let in some air, the baby calmed down for a some time but started crying again.
'You are hungry aren't you?' Ichigo asked as he looked at the baby and Kazui sniffled. Both the baby and Ichigo stared at each other for a few seconds. It was kind of comical. No expression on their faces. Brown eyes staring at each other. Suddenly Ichigo sighed and smiled as he chuckled at the baby. He placed Kazui in the crib and after a few minutes he returned with a bottel of milk.
He picked up Kazui like before and with his legs he pushed the toys on the ground away from him so that he can sit down on the floor. Then he placed Kazui on his lap and started to feed him milk.
Everyone looked at the T.V. screen patiently, they did not even know how much time had passed. It's just that they had not seen this calm and patient side of Ichigo yet. Not even Rukia and Renji had seen it that many times.
The baby finished his milk, and Ichigo placed the bottel on the small playset teapoy that was beside him and got up with Kazui in his arms like before, but now instead of his other hand on the baby's head he placed it on it's back. Then he started to walk around the room, still jumping gently jumping up and down while he patted his hand on the baby's back.
"Why is he doing that? Shouldn't he just let him sleep?" Nat asked.
"You don't know?" Steve asked.
"No" Nat said with a plain monotonous voice.
"Babies will throw up their milk or food if they don't burp after having it. But babies cannot burp on their own, so we have to make them do it. It takes a bit long" Clint said with a chuckle.
"You have kids?" Renji asked as he looked over at the screen, his attention never leaving the different Ichigo.
"Yea, three of them. Even though i don't get to spend much time with them, i still know a thing or too" Clint said with a memory of his wife and kids in his mind.
They turned their attention back to the video. Suddenly a small burp irrupted the silent room. Ichigo stopped patting Kazui's back but still walked around to make him fall asleep. When he finally fell asleep, Ichigo placed Kazui back in the crib and set it's blankets. He closed the window and looked at the clock and looked back at the window to see that the sun was rising. He closed the curtains so that the light won't fall on Kazui and then he moved out the room.
"It's morning! How long was he doing that?" Rukia asked as she stood up as if she had just seen an unexpected movie climax.
"Well, it shows that he went out of the room at 6. So 3 hours. This means even we watched it for 3 hours" Orihime said, again looking down.
"Well how would you know. When you used to get up at night, you tried to convince me that you will take care of Ichika. Then when you would be feeding her, you would fall asleep and then i had to take care of her for the other hour and a half" Renji said as he smirked.
"I used to fall asleep? I don't even remember" Rukia said as she argued back.
"Well after putting Ichika to bed i had to do the same to you. So all you remember is taking care of her and getting up in your own bed" Renji argued back.
"Now now, it means in a way you both took responsibility" Steve said as he tried to avoid a fight.
Suddenly another video started playing, it was of a hospital.
In the video, it's Ichigo's voice talking to Orihime's.
'Should we go in now?' Ichigo asks.
'I don't know, do they even wanna meet someone right now?' Orihime asked unsurely.
'Well they were the ones that called us here, besides, it's been three weeks. Even the baby would have opened it's eyes by now' Ichigo said as a matter of fact.
Suddenly the camera points towards a door and Ichigo and Orhime enter a hospital room to see a Renji and Rukia. Renji is in his soul reaper uniform and is sitting on a chair while he sleeps with hands crossed over his chest and Rukia is in a white hospital gown and is sleeping on the bed. Beside Renji there is a crib.
'Shuu, don't make a sound' Orihime said as she chuckles, while she points the camera Ichigo who is in his black uniform with his white robe as well, he just nods and chuckles as well with an evil grin.
He went over Renji and drew on his face with black marker but spared Rukia for the first time. Then Ichigo takes the camera from Orihime's hands and pointed it at the crib to look at a baby girl that has a bit of red hair poking out of it's head.
'She is so cute!' Orhime whispered-screamed.
'I know right! She looks nothing like both of them except Renji's hair' Ichigo whisper-screamed as well. A small thump said that Orihime had hit Ichigo on his elbow.
'What? It's true, look at her and then look at them. She beats them all the way' Ichigo said.
Renji growled and started to stomp towards Ichigo's room while Steve and Rukia tried to hold him back.
"Wait for some time, i will be with you as well. Just let him heal" Rukia said with a smirk.
Suddenly the baby opened it's eyes to reveal Rukia's eye colour.
'Hey there Ichika, it's aunt Orihime and uncle Ichigo' Orihime said with a sing song voice.
Suddenly the baby started to giggle but when she saw that Renji was waking up, she started to cry again.
Renji's *just woke up look* looked scary, it wasn't suprising that she cried.
'Go to sleep Renji, you are scaring her' Ichigo said.
Renji for some reason fell back asleep.
'Is he for serious?' Ichigo said but then sighed. Ichigo wasn't shocked to see that Renji did not even realise that they were at the hospital.
'Let them sleep. Well Ichika, we will meet again, hopefully after a month Kazui or Kazumi will be born. Then you both can be friends' Orihime whispered to her. The baby giggled.
Ichigo and Orihime said their goodbyes and exited the room, the camera recorded a bit more till they switched it off to reveal that in the hospital everyone was wearing black uniforms.
The video ended with the avengers smiling but at the same time wondering if what they saw was soul society's hospital cause everyone wore the same uniform.
While Renji was thinking that how he was tricked into thinking that the artistic work on his face was done by Hanataro.
Rukia was just smiling, she had thought Ichigo and Orihime hadn't come to meet them in the hospital. She had brushed it off thinking it must be hard for them to open a senkaimon just for them so that Orihime could travel through it.
