Hi…. . Sorry it has taken me a while to update this one. I was thinking of a way to close it up. On a brighter note, I do believe I am going to work on different approaches to my stories from now on. Who knows, maybe I'll be writing a new one soon…. In the mean time:

"You did WHAT?" Ichigo hollered.

Rukia shielded her ears slightly upon his out burst. Papa simply smiled as if he knew already. She turned to him and smiled…

"You knew all this time and didn't tell me?"

He nodded with a grin, "Rukia, it had to be done…"

"What was done?" a confused Ichigo cried.

Isshin began to explain to him what all had happened and why he was confused. Rukia's phone buzzed as she received an incoming message: I miss you

She smiled to herself again and replied: I'll be home shortly

Isshin smiled at her knowingly, "Well we will definitely be there tomorrow. I must walk my daughter down the isle!"

Ichigo grinned, "Yeah an I'm going to give my new brother in law hell!"

The girls brought in Masaru who was giggling and kicking about. Rukia picked up her son and hugged her sisters.

"I will see you both tomorrow at the ceremony…" she smiled.

The drive home seemed longer as Rukia watched the trees passing by. The driver glanced back at her in the rear view mirror and gave a light chuckle.

"Ah, are you day dreaming Misses?" he said.

Rukia smiled in response and simply nodded. The baby was sound asleep in his car seat and gave a soft sigh. Rukia looked over to him and ran her finger over his forehead. This was their son; he looked just like her with his features. Her heart slowed in pace and she felt a deep sense of completion build up inside of her. She began to think back to how all this started. How all of these things came into place because she took his case. Never in a million years would she have guessed that she would find out that all her life was a lie and she was meant to be with Byakuya. She looked back out of the window and thought of Hisana. The encounter with her late sister back in her office was something of the super natural, but it happened; she felt a surge of gratitude flow from her.

"Thank you, sister…"she whispered to herself.

…

…

…

The car pulled up to the drive way where many trucks and vans were parked. Rukia picked up the baby and cautiously walked inside to find Byakuya.

"My love!" he called from the dining room.

Rukia placed the carrier on the table and met him with a hug, "What's going on here?"

Byakuya smiled and pulled a piece of paper from the table, "Preparations for our wedding tomorrow…"

Rukia began to take Masaru out of the carrier and shook her head, "I forgot you are so anxious…"

"You know why, Rukia… I do not want to hear any one's opinion about us."

She waved her hand as she walked away with a huge smile, "That's what I love about you, Byakuya."

He watched her walk up the stairs with the baby in tote. Looking back down at the table, he felt warm and light. It was like he was in a daze all of a sudden and found himself smiling like a fool.

"Are you alright?" Taro asked as he placed a gentle hand on Byakuya's shoulder.

"Hmm? Oh yes of course…" he replied mechanically.

Tauro chuckled, "I haven't seen you this high on love in a long time… it's a wonderful sight."

Byakuya smiled in response and looked back at the planner.

….

….

….

Rukia was awakened the next day to a few old ladies in her bedroom causing a ruckus. Rubbing an eye, she glared at them.

"Can I help you?" she mumbled.

"Miss Kurosaki, I believe it is time for you to wake up. You're getting married today…" one of the old ladies bowed.

Rukia glanced over at the clock: 7:45

"Ughhh… I'm going to kill my husband." she groaned.

The ladies giggled about as Rukia pulled herself out of the bed grumbling and mumbling. She walked into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror.

"You're going to get married today…" rang in her ears.

She turned the knobs in the shower and waited a few seconds before pulling the stopper up, allowing the shower to commence. She returned to the sink and started to brush her teeth. As she bent over to spit, Byakuya snuck in behind her and stood against the wall. Rukia looked into the mirror and nearly screamed.

"WH-what are you doing in here?" she huffed.

He said nothing, but approached her stealthily and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her vigorously and hungrily.

"Whoa what's gotten into you?" she asked, gently pushing him back.

"You have…"he answered.

His hands worked away her pajamas and began to slide over her smooth skin leaving a trail of goose bumps behind. Rukia was rendered speechless as he caressed her body with an enormous passion. Her hands met with his pants and pulled away at the strings. He lifted her up and carried her into the shower, not breaking their kiss once. She stood in front of him as he ran his hands through the water on her back. It was a mixture of silk and cashmere. His hands gently kneaded her back, relaxing her into a mellow state of mind. She turned but only to have him stop her and turn her back facing the wall.

"I'm not done…"he purred.

Rukia's eyes widened as she felt his hand slip between her thighs and brush lightly over her entrance. His free hand pulled her closer to him and began to massage her breast. Rukia's head tilted back against his shoulder as he fiddled her slit and teased her breast. He nipped gently at the now accessible skin before him, earning a fired up moan.

"Uhnn…"she mewled as his fingers slipped in.

Her hips moved against his hand as he moved in and out, allowing her hot, slippery wetness to dribble down and mix with the already heated water.

"Do you like that?" he breathed into her ear.

Rukia nodded and he pulled out his fingers and kissed her lips.

"I want to try something new with you…" he said, licking her neck.

Rukia obliged and surrendered her body. He rubbed his hardness against her thigh and slapped it against her bottom. She bent over a little further as she felt him push up against her. As soon as he slipped inside, her body began to tingle with pleasure. He started slow at first, allowing her to adjust to the new position, but as soon as she pushed back he let her have it. She gripped on to the ledge in front of her that was normally used for shampoos and soaps. It really came in handy at that moment when the thrusts became pounds and her light sighs and moans became cries of ecstasy and pleasure. The intensity became too much for her to bear and she slipped. With his hands near by, Byakuya was able to catch her. He turned her over and wrapped her legs around his waist as he continued to pump. Rukia gripped his shoulders and dug her nails into his skin leaving marks. He tugged at her hair with his free hand, and pulled her head back and licked her neck tracing his way up to her mouth. They kissed fiercely as the peak of their climax was near. Her legs gripped his thighs tight as both his hands gripped firmly on to them. With one final thrust he emptied himself into her as she began to drip with her own.

Rukia's legs were a little shaky at first, but once she rinsed of she felt better. Byakuya stepped into the water and tilted his head up at the head. His long black hair was now saturated and looked as gorgeous as ever! Rukia was soaping herself up when she saw this and dropped her loofah. He looked down at the pink puff ball rubbing against his foot and picked it up. Rukia was caught ogling him.

"What's with your look?" he smirked, playfully tossing the ball back at her.

Rukia blushed slightly and shut her hanging mouth, "I don't know what you are talking about, Byakuya…"

She turned to hide her embarrassment, but his hand gently gripped her arm and turned her around. He kissed her once more and smiled, "You have the rest of your life to ogle me…"

Just like that he was gone. Rukia finished her shower and hopped out to get ready for the wedding.

…

…

…

The house was full of close family and friends. Yuzu had Masaru dressed in his Sunday best and playing calmly beside them. Ichigo and Renji stood by the priest as Yoruichi and Karin stood in place across from them. The dining room was transformed into an elegant wedding small enough for just them, but big enough to go all out. The stairs wound down into the middle of the room and it gave Rukia a chance to see everything before hand. Papa Isshin waited anxiously at the bottom for her. The sweep train was not too long, but long enough to hide her feet. She wore white-satin peep toe d'Orsay with a platform high heel and was cut away at the sides to reveal the arch of the foot. Her dress was a white strapless gown, featuring angled draped pick-ups, which created a stunning and perfect A-line silhouette. A gorgeous sweetheart neckline highlighting her shoulders, while the 3D floral embellishment at waist, added a modern touch. A bight diamond necklace enchanted her even more to the on lookers. Rukia's hair was twisted up in a messy styled bun; with lose strands falling in random places. It was complete with a small, but flashy tiara sitting proudly on her head. Papa Isshin walked her proudly down the make shift isle, to an already teary-eyed Byakuya. Ichigo nudged him lightly and smiled at him reassuringly.

The ceremony was just a beautiful and left many people satisfied for their need for a fairy tale wedding. After everyone had left Rukia picked up her sleeping baby and cradled him in her arms; Byakuya walked up behind them and completed the circle. Rukia looked up at her husband and smiled…

"So are we leaving here tomorrow?" she asked quietly.

Byakuya nodded and kissed her nose, "I hope you're ready…"

Rukia looked down at Masaru and remembered Orihime.

I wonder what she is doing right now with baby Ai… she thought to herself.

She began to wonder about their little arrangement for a future meeting in a neutral area until things were cleared for her to visit them in the Soul Society. Taking a quick glance at Byakuya licking icing off his finger, she smiled.

I hope to see you very soon, Orihime…

He looked over to his new (once again) bride and noticed she was off in another world.

"What is it, Rukia?" he asked.

Rukia shook her head and smiled, "I was just thinking about Orihime."

He put the fork containing his next fill of icing and cake (he had a thing for icing… :D) and tilted his head, "What about?"

"I was wondering when I could invite her to our home…" she winced, hoping to hear something good.

"As long as no one notices her or as long as she doesn't bring that Arrancar…"he sighed.

Rukia grinned cheerfully and went to kiss him, but stopped.

"I had no idea you like icing that much…"she said wiping a drop from his chin.

He smiled, "I absolutely love it. The texture, the taste…the sugar…"he practically sang the word.

Rukia cocked an eyebrow, "I guess this is going to be interesting…"

He returned her comment with a huge grin and a nod. She waved at him as she took the baby upstairs to get him ready for bed and for tomorrow. Making her way down the hall, she had a mental image of Byakuya continuing his icing feast and the aftermath.

"I wonder if he gets a sugar rush." She thought to herself.

She walked through the door to Masaru's room and almost fainted.

"Hello, Rukia…"

Ok, so one more chapter? I would love to be as good as some of these writers who dish out a beautiful 15+ chapter story, but with my busy schedule I would never get to finish! I was thinking about leaving this lil cliffie in hopes that I could prepare for a decent ending. My fiancée was telling me I should write a sequel to this one about the Soul Society life… I think he is on to something… Well, lemme know what you all think… 3
