I do not any of the characters or the ideas created by Tite Kubo, however my OC and original storyline belong to me.
This is my first Bleach fic, so PLEASE REVIEW!
Thank you Windblade67 for your review, I'm glad you enjoyed the cuteness, there's more to come.
After a long day of playing, Delilah found herself being approached by her two parents, well those who she considered to be her Mommy and her Daddy. It was her Daddy who had lifted her into his arms and together with her mother they had placed her onto the changing mat and began the nighttime process.
Once in the bathroom, much like they had been doing for the past year of Delilah's life, the two adults began to gently undress the squirming infant. She had grown quite big in too short a time and even though Delilah's parents both know the dangers of forcing her to age as a human, they also knew that it was the only foolproof method which they could use to restrict her spiritual pressure and make sure that her mother's heritage did not become apparent. Especially since only a bare handful of people knew about her mother's residence in the human world and why exactly she had carried a child with Ukitake blood.
"She is growing so quickly" her mother said in a soft voice.
"She is meant to age as a human and not a baby soul" Sōsuke placed his hand onto her shoulder and gave her an encouraging look, especially since the woman he loved more then his own life still found it difficult that he hadn't been allowed to be the sire of her child.
Delilah's mother sudden onset of doubt had began to wash away and they redirected their attention to the little baby who had began to call to them via her own cooing and usual baby noises.
There was no lingering hesitation in either Delilah's mother and or Sōsuke's face as they began to speak to their 'daughter'.
"Hello there little one…"
Delilah gazed at them with her large indigo eyes and her legs movements and grabbing had become more frequent. And this had caused the two of them to laugh:
"…we are going to put you into the bath now and make sure that you become squeaky clean and comfortable and calm for your bedtime"
And as they continued to talk to her, she slowly began to calm down and it was in one swift yet careful manoeuvre that they had placed her into the baby bath containing water which was neither scorching hot not freezing cold and they started to wash her gently and maintained eye contact with her, as this was what stopped Delilah from fussing unnecessarily.
Once she was completely comfortable, it had been Delilah's mother who had cleansed her body while Sōsuke used the rubber duck to entertain her and cause a series of innocent little giggles from baby Delilah. And by the time her mother had brought the shower over her miniature body, any possibilities for her to cry and work herself up before she was due to fall asleep was non-existent.
And after half an hour, they slowly lifted Delilah out of the bath and dried her, promptly taking a now yawning baby to the room which she currently only used for sleeping.
….
From the moment that they had entered her room, the light had been turned onto dim as a normal daytime light would have worked only to rose Delilah instead of placing her into a state of slumber. And Sōsuke carefully placed the drifting infant onto the changing table which her mother had already prepared for her in anticipation. And from the moment that she had been lain down onto the changing mat, Sōsuke began to receive the necessary paraphernalia to place the diaper on her lower body. And this he managed to do efficiently and still keep Delilah occupied by the expressions on his face.
And once he had placed the cream, the powder on her bottom and then then diaper, he didn't hesitate in giving her what she wanted. He commenced by first administering kisses to her jigging little legs and then working his way up her body. It seemed that Delilah's mother had temporarily stepped out of the room and much like always, he continued to kiss her torso and eventually came to her hands. He, like Gin, was of the belief that a child deserved to be loved simply for being alive but he was sure that he would be tasked with both educating and disciplining her if her mother ever thought that she needed it.
Though his administration of affection, he heard Delilah's usual cooing becoming significantly louder and he pulled away just in time to hear her speak the word which would no doubt seal his role within her immortal life:
"Daddy!"
His heart nearly skipped a beat when he heard her word as he realised that this had been the first time that she had spoken to either him, her mother or Gin. Hearing her speak also meant that unlike their initial belief that Delilah's development would be slowed due to the restriction on her spiritual pressure.
His grin continued to grow and his heart swelled in pride, it seemed that Delilah's mother had gotten what she had desired and he had gained one thing which he had never thought he would gain, a daughter.
Once he had dressed her in her night suit, he slowly brought her to his chest and it was soon enough to that she reached for him. And once he had placed her there, he was pleased at how quickly she had buried her face into his warmth and her wrapped his arms around her tiny body.
And after roughly five minutes, he heard her breathing changing and when he turned to look at her, he was relieved that she had fallen asleep so peacefully.
And it as then that Delilah's mother appeared once more with a beaming smile and an expression of pure bliss on her face.
"Congratulations love…"
Sōsuke continued to stroke their sleeping baby.
"Are you happy that Delilah has acknowledged me as her daddy?"
Delilah's mother leaned against the door frame and nodded, her smile growing even larger.
"It's the thing I've been waiting for seeing she was conceived…"
Sōsuke gazed at his sleeping infant.
"…it will make sure that no matter what happens in the future, I will never have to face the reality of her ever really accepting her biological father…"
He simply nodded and then felt her hand on his shoulder:
"Your bond is strong and could ever only be rivalled by the one Gin shares with her"
Sōsuke smiled widely and murmured ever so quietly:
"Don't I know…"
There you have it, even though not much has happened, I believe it foreshadows many unanswered questions which will you all will want to know. It may have been a slow moving chapter but the smallest details are sometimes the most important, especially Delilah calling Captain Aizen 'Daddy'. There will be more special bonding in the following chapter.
IF YOU WANT MORE THEN PLEASE REVIEW! I WAIT FOR THEM WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM TO MOTIVATE ME TO CONTINUE!
Until next time!
