All You Need
AN: Thanks for reviewing! And enjoy!
Suì-Fēng knew it was important to eat regularly now that she was expecting, but this was ridiculous. She couldn't stop eating. She had become a damn bottomless pit and it was frankly annoying. She felt like she was going crazy. If she wasn't eating she was thinking about eating. If she wasn't crying she was trying not to scream out loud. If these first few months were anything to go by, it was going to be a long pregnancy. In any case she was glad that she hadn't fallen asleep at work recently. Well she hadn't been caught sleeping at work again. She had dozed of a few times, but no one had woken her up or caught her.
Today some new recruits were coming in, and she was going to let Omeada handle them. If they turned out to be amazing, which they wouldn't, she'd step in and train them herself. For now the were probably just trying not to wet themselves. Really, she knew they were intimidated by being in her squad. Who wouldn't be?
By lunch time she had taken a short nap, undetected, and finished half her paperwork. Omeada had dragged his fat ass into the office at that point, and told her he needed help with the recruits. She didn't want to. They were young and inexperienced, which frankly meant they needed someone patient. She was not a patient person. Her guess was that they were rowdy, and Omeada couldn't handle them. Figures.
"What are they doing?"
"They wanna meet the Captain."
"I'm their superior. Not the Easter bunny."
"I think they wanna meet you anyways."
"I have a lot to do. Fine. I'll work out there and they can look at me."
"Alright Captain."
She picked up her stuff and went to work at a desk outside her personal office. Oh, the things she did to shut her Lieutenant up.
"Is she the Captain?"
"She is, yes sir." Omeada told the man who had asked.
"I see." He winkled his nose. "She's short." Suì-Fēng felt her blood begin to boil. Short? So what if she was short? She was the Captain!
"I wouldn't talk to the Captain like that if I were you." Omeada warned.
"What is she gonna do? Swat at me?"
"You should stop." Mumbled another recruit. He waved his hand and dismissed this advice.
"It's bad enough that she's a woman. She should at least be taller. This is embarrassing."
Suì-Fēng had had enough.
"Get out. You don't belong here." She drew herself to her full height and marched up to the chauvinistic recruit. She hated the way she was looking down at her, like she was an insect. He had such nerve.
"I do belong here."
"I disagree. Remove yourself before I need to move you."
"You don't know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are."
"You killed my father. Bitch."
"Did I? Since he managed to raise such a disgraceful son, I can see why I killed him. Remove him Omeada."
Her leutenent grabbed the man by the scruff and led him out.
"The old man who split your head! The one that you were ordered to kill? He was my father, and you will pay for ending his life!"
Silence followed as the man was led out.
"He shouldn't have done that Captain." A meek looking girl in the front murmured.
"Did he attend training with you?"
"No. I never saw him before today actually."
"He must have snuck his way in in an attempt to talk to me." She mused.
"We should put guards outside the barracks." Omeada suggested. She considered this a moment. Even if he didn't come face to face with her again he could hurt her men. The new recruits were vulnerable. What if he tried to kill some of them as a statement?
"I think that's a good idea. But didn't you take him to security?"
"He elbowed me and ran off." She swore under her breath.
"I want five of you to go catch him. Not new recruits, older members. Bring him here and I will handle it from there." Turning to her new recruits she gave them a stern look.
"If any of you ever talk like that to me, then I will remove you as well. I expect respect as your captain." They all nodded and agreed. She went back to her office and started working on her paperwork again.
"You killed my father. Bitch."
If someone killed her father, then she would hunt them down too. She knew that if he wasn't caught than he would be back and ready for the hunt. She should be confident that they would catch him. She just didn't know what to do. She was worried and she rarely worried. This wasn't just her life at risk. The baby, her daughter, needed to be kept safely inside her if she wanted to live. If she got her ass kicked the baby could very well die.
Then it hit her. She had told Byukuya that marrying him and having his baby wouldn't affect her life or her carreer. But she was falling asleep at work. She couldn't go on missions or risk her life. It was all fun and dandy to say that her carreer would be her focus but that wasn't possible. Not really.
Who would watch the baby? She and Byukuya both worked as Captains for crying out loud. What if it got sick? Who would stay home with it? She'd need to watch the baby closely the first few bits of it's life. It would need her for survival. Sure she could leave it with the maids, but she wanted an active part in it's life.
She would have to refocus her life a bit. Would it be worth it? She frowned. Of course it would be worth it. So long as she was a healthy happy baby, she could miss some work. She could be a little more careful with the missions. It was worth it.
It was a little surprising how easily she decided that it was worth it. But then again she knew that having a baby was a real important deal. It wasn't something to shrug off.
"We were unable to capture him Captain."
She sighed. They would have to find him. She would have to get used to the fact that her job would not be top priority any more. But this baby was worth it
