Fall had started to melt into winter at Seireitei and Ayla had been staying busy. In the morning she would visit a different division and do the warm up training exercises with them, her favorite to visit was the 11th, not that she didn't like seeing her mates but she really got a kick out of Ikkaku, Yumichika and Zaraki. The huge beastly captain threw himself into fighting with everything he had all of the time that she couldn't help but to admire him. His small pink headed accomplice cheering him on and informing everyone that "Kenny was in a good mood" when the man was covered in sweat, dirt and gore. Ikkaku and Yumichika were close friends and about as opposite as you could get, the masculine battle hungry Ikkaku was simply a smaller version of Kenpachi with his wide grin and rolling laughter, the effeminate Yumichika glided when he fought and stated he strove to make every battle beautiful; which he certainly did accomplish. The dynamic in the 11th was more visceral and raw than the other divisions which she enjoyed the unregimented melee of it, she was there this morning doing warm up exercises with the division. It felt good to use her body like this, Unohana had been correct she had been much more fatigued since day one but she still wanted to train; she had been permitted to lightly train for the duration or as long as she felt physically able. She smiled and took another light swing at an unseated division officer unarming him, he bowed and the match was over. As she fell into a rhythm of sword play she easily passed the morning and before she knew it the sun was high in the sky. She sat next to Ikkaku and Yumichika leaning against the dojo wall and drinking her water before she headed to the 4th.

"How much longer ya got?" The bald man asked swigging his water down greedily.

She touched her stomach "I think about 3 more months" she smiled softly. Yumichika's eyes lit up.

"It's going to be a beautiful child!" He proclaimed.

"A boy" she said nodding. Yumichika smiled.

"Speaking of boys, how are those two?" Ikkaku let out a snort.

"Oh insanely overprotective but otherwise they are fine. Renji has been going on and on about training and building a playground that will be a training area, and roping captains in to train him" she paused to roll her eyes "Shuuhei has been less excitable but thinks I haven't noticed him stockpiling tactical books and other educational material. It seems as though Renji is concentrating on the brawn while Shuuhei will be concentrating on the brain."

Yumichika's eyebrow quirked up in barely suppressed laughter "did you expect something different? We are talking about Renji and Shuuhei after all." She snickered; those two did have reputations to keep up.

"I conceded to your point Yumi," she said in mock graciousness "however, if they get to be too much I am sending them to go baby clothes shopping with you." Ikkaku burst out into fits of laughter, clutching his sides.

"Oh oh" he panted between breaths "now that's a punishment!" He continued to laugh unaware of his friends glare.

She pushed herself up off the floor and thanked the two men. It was lunchtime and she needed to eat before heading to the 4th for the afternoon.

Unohana had been right to ask her to come learn healing kido, she seemed to have a knack for it; a throwback no doubt from nursing. In exchange she had taught the staff at the 4th many aspects of human healing. She found she enjoyed her new life, despite always being tired, after a morning of light exercises she would grab lunch and head to the 4th to assist wherever possible. More often than not she saw quite a few members of the 11th division in the afternoon courtesy of whatever brutality Kenpachi was dishing out that day, most of them grinning despite their injuries. It hadn't been a busy day really compared to most, some blood and a few broken bones but otherwise the majority of shinigami had survived the day without a trip to the 4th. Putting her hand on her slightly rounded stomach she pulsed reiatsu into it and was rewarded when she felt the small tingle of Ryu's reiatsu twining with her own, smiling softly she headed back to the house.

She found Shuuhei home and lounging on the couch when she felt the all too familiar pull towards the man. Tstiayuga had told her that there was a reason she was insatiable when it came to these two, long before she was pregnant, and it was due to them essentially being made for each other all three combined were like pieces of a puzzle and their souls recognized each other. Because of that bond the need to be with each other in every way was overpowering, almost consuming at times. Sighing she went to sit next to the brunette; he scooted over slightly and pulled her so she was leaning back onto his chest with his legs on either side of her. Resting his chin on her shoulder he placed his hands on her stomach and began pressing small kisses against the side of her neck, she shifted to give him better access as he continued his assault. Gently working his way down he deposited kisses down her neck, and onto the backs of her shoulders while his fingers deftly worked at her top, sliding it off his hands moved from her abdomen to her already pert nipples, and gently rolling them between his fingers he elicited a moan. Finally catching her lips with his he slowly let his tongue explore her mouth, his hand fisting her hair while one still occupied with her breast, his erection was throbbing and she felt it in her back. He broke contact and pushed himself back from her as they shifted to face each other; she ran her hands over his lean muscled chest and traced their outlines with her tongue as she pushed him back onto the couch removing his shirt as she did so. He groaned and bucked his hips upward slightly, knowing what he wanted she swiftly removed his pants, his hard length stood proudly out, surrounding by tight raven curls. She felt herself get wet at the sight, Shuuhei was not a girthy as Renji but he had length and quite the wicked curve to his dick; a curve that rubbed her in all the right spots, in fact the man was shaped just like a banana; which is exactly what she thought of every time she ate that fruit now. His cock was positively sinful, she lowered her head and gently flicked the tip with her tongue before grabing him in her hands and administering one long lick from base to tip, she looked into his half lidded grey eyes swirling with lust as she slowly took as much of him as possible into her mouth. Moaning he arched his back and buried his hands in her hair. His breath was coming in little pants when he forcibly moved her head away from his crotch, confused she looked at him questioningly but he was already in action. He was positioning himself so his knees were on either side of her head and his lips were nuzzling her folds, asking entrance. She smirked, he wanted to 69 how fitting. She granted him access as he lapped greedily at her folds, finding her hard nub with his adept tongue and wasting no time stimulating it, she let out a moan around her mouthful of cock and felt him shiver at the sensation, he wasted no time as his tongue swirled and brought her to the edge again and again, each time backing down before bringing her to the precipice. She thought she was going to die of frustration and viciously began to suck him, cheeks hollowed out with one hand palming his heavy sacs. Shuuhei could hardly stand it, balancing on one arm he thrust two fingers inside her wetness as his tongue continued to caress her inner most sanctum, arching her back she groaned around his cock and it was all he could do to not thrust it into her mouth. Continuing to circle his tongue around her nub he bent his fingers inside her until he felt the bundle of nerves he was looking for, pressing on it she began to writhe and buck under him. He removed himself from her mouth and in an extreme show of flexibility never moving his mouth or fingers climbed off her onto the floor beside the couch and then positioned himself between her legs. His erection hard and straining for release he worked his fingers into her, pushing her nerves each time as his tongue flicked across her clit, he saw her breath coming in heavy pants and her hips bucking up to meet his mouth and thrusting fingers.

"Shuu" she panted "please" it was almost a whine. He moved her legs further apart and wrapping one arm under her to tilt her hips slightly upward balanced on the other one. In one thrust he was fully in her slick heat, she was so wet for him a veritable slip and slide as he thrust into her the sound of we flesh slapping on each reached his ears, he looked down her brown hair splayed out, her hands held onto his hips tightly her generous breasts bouncing to the rhythm. Her face flushed pink and mouth open with small cries of pleasure, he gently nipped her bottom lip as he continued to seat himself inside her, making sure to find her spot he had found with his fingers with his dick as he continued to impale her upon it. Not able to take much more she opened her eyes and locked them with his

"Shuu, fuck, I'm gonna…" she trailed off lost in pleasure, his own heightened by her admission. He quickened the pace determined to drive her over the edge and a few moments later she let out a cry of completion as he walls pulsed around him, caressing him with their warmth. With a long groan he gave one last thrust deep inside her and shuddered as he felt his seed pour out into her. They lay there for a while basking in their happiness as she felt a warmth in her abdomen from the child gaining nutriments. They probably would have lay there all night if Renji hadn't busted through the door and informed them with a wolfish that it smelled like a brothel and to go clean up so that he could have his way with them.
