A/N: Yes, this is ShuuHina, but it's just heavily implied. You never see it. I'm still not comfortable writing Shuuhei even though I have to for HotC... Anyway, also with one-sided HitsuHina, here you go. This is dedicated to The Rish for making me think about couples I never would've otherwise. All the ships, my friend.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or make any profit from this.


No. It could not be true. Momo and Shuuhei had only been together seven months; it had to be a nasty rumor. A very nasty rumor. Toshiro hid his trembling hands quickly. Momo couldn't be... no. Sure, she could be scatterbrained sometimes, but she wouldn't let herself get into that kind of situation, a predicament like that, would she?

Toshiro knew the kinds of things she could get into, so he used shunpo to get to Momo's office ASAP. Momo jolted up from her paperwork, and she looked beyond exhausted. Still, seeing him, she smiled.

"Shiro!" She exclaimed, her eyes lighting up at the very sight of him, her best friend in any world. "What brings you here?"

Toshiro got straight to the point. "Are you pregnant?"

Momo looked at him. "I wanted to talk to you about that." She sighed. "Only Shuuhei and I, plus a few medics know. So please don't tell anyone." She paused again. "I am though." Toshiro nodded, his face going unreadable. But if Shuuhei knew and was alright with it, there was no need for him to step in. He turned to leave, but Momo called after him. "Shiro?" She said softly. "You're going to be a Godparent." Toshiro nodded briefly before escaping.

As long as Shuuhei kept his dear Momo safe and happy, he had no quarrel with him. But at the first sign of cheating or abuse, Toshiro would take him out.


A/N: A rather short one. I'm not comfortable writing with Shuuhei yet, otherwise he would've actually appeared in here. Anyway, how'd I do, all that jazz. Thank you for reading!
