"There's something we think you should know"Retsu began she reaches out and held my hand.
"What?"I asked feeling my intestines squirm. Did something happen to Zaraki? Byakuya spoke for them both.
"Your fracciones are alive and living in Hueco Mundo"Byakuya reveal. I felt like someone removed my intestines and place a ton of bricks in my stomach.
"They're alive?"I repeated like a robot.
"Why didn't you tell them to come to my wedding ?"I asked him.
"We didn't tell them because we didn't want them to lure you back in your old ways"Byakuya spoke on my fracciones where abouts. Then it hit me what I just said.
"What!''I yelled jumping up but Retsu soothe me. How could they not tell me this sooner? Before I could ask how this was possible Byakuya continue .
"Orihime not only brought you back but them as well"Byakuya explain.
"How could you not tell me they were alive and living in Heuco Mundo?"I asked outrage he had not. Did every captain know about this? Surely Zaraki would've told me. The question was how long did Zaraki know?
"We thought it be best if you all kept your distance in case you fell victim to Aizen's manipulation"Byakuya explain their motives.
"Did Zaraki know this?"I asked feeling betray.
"No"Byakuya spoke quickly.
"He was left out on purpose remember we didn't trust you at the tirme"he reason.
"Still don't''I sarcastically accuse. He had truly blown my mind.
"The important thing is that your friends are alive and well thanks to our aid"Retsu spoke softly she patted my back. I kept my head bow the whole time.
"What made you want to come clean now? Don't tell me it's because of Aizen's break out?"I asked looking up. They exhange looks then back at me.
"I see"I spoke now then question came. Do I stay in the Seretei or move to Hueco Mundo to be with my fracciones? I decided to ask Zaraki on it.
The news of Aizen's escape was still enough to shake me up. Zaraki came home to relieve Ikkaku and Yumichika. He didn't say a word instead he just listen as I weigh our options out.
"Please if anything I would like to see my old fracciones again"I ended by pleading to him. We decided to visit Hueco Mundo without any squad members or other captains. Zaraki and I made out way to Las Noches where I last remember it. Yachiru was left behind for safe keeping. Zaraki led me to Las Noches where he pointed out its structure was somewhat intact if anthing it looked like someone was replacing it. I sonido in to see new faces of females that were occupying the sanctuary from male predators. They all stepped back then looked at us finally one of them spoke up.
"Your spiritual pressure is overwhelming who are you?"she asked looking at Zaraki then at me. I open my mouth but Mila Rose appeared.
"Taicho you're back"she screamed in hysteria. Sung Sun and Apacci appeared by her side. I raced to them and hugged while Zaraki held back.
"You're all alive"I laugh with tears in my eyes we hugged once more. It was Sung Sun who gasp then rub my stomach.
" Is it his?"Mila Rose asked dropping her voice so others wouldn't hear.
"Yes"I answer when I realize she was refering to Aizen not Zaraki.
"How did you travel back?"Apacci asked me.
" I married Zaraki and yeah here we are"I explain more thoroughly.
"So how is life?"I asked searching the female faces that were present there was a large quantity present.
"We uh took up where you left off''Apacci explain the new faces.
"Yeah it beats raising Yammy's dog"Mila Rose joke I laugh then beckon Zaraki over.
"Is he a shiniami?" a vasto lorde female asked looking fear stricken.
"Yes but he's my mate"I explain she pale then looked at him.
"He's so powerful the spiritual pressure alone is intense"she whisper to others. Loly and Menoly appeared with a male who sported an orange afro. I recall his name was Gantenbainne.
"How did you two survive?"I asked looking at Menoly.
"That quincy Uryuu save us"Menoly looked at a ungrateful Loly. Loly was avoiding my gaze. Gantebainne spoke up to hear.
''I'm forever grateful to that female captain who nurse my wounds"he spoke on his survival.
"I see"I spoke nodding I thought of Retsu.
"So how is it you're not maul by these females?"I asked being cute.
"Oh uh so long as I keep to myself I'm ok''he answer scratching his head.
"How long do you plan to stay?"Mila Rose asked me
' 'Oh uh well it's January so I'll probably stay a few days"I spoke clutching Zaraki's hand. He squeezed it back.
"Ok you can have your old suite back''she led me to it.
"You mean it's not damage?"I asked in surprise.
''No it's fine"she led me to it. I step in admiring the objects in tact. I made my way to the restroom where the old dipstick was. I saw it faded but had a plus sign. I sigh then chunk it in the trash.
"So where does Aizen sleep?"Zaraki asked me. I showed him to his suite. We quietly observed his room. I knew Zaraki was looking for clues to his where abouts or some possible hint to his next plan. I survey his bed while he glance once in the closet not bothering to look in in the restroom and several times in the drawers.
"Should we start in Szayel's lab?"I aksed turning up nothing.
"No it went to shit besides Mayuri rob his laboratory whatever he had valuable stash was gone" Zaraki explain to me.
"So should we search Gin's room or Tousen's?"I asked looking at him.
"Who was his most loyal espada?''Zaraki asked looking at me.
"Schiffer although Starrk was rank one for a reason"I contradict myself.
" Let's search Schiffer's room"he spoke leading me there. I search his room which look like it had been use recently. I took it the runaway females were sleeping in our unused rooms. I sigh then looked at him.
"Nothing"I spoke rubbing my elbows.
"How about the library?"Zaraki asked me on his possible plans tuck in there.
"Did he ever keep a diary?"Zaraki asked me upon reaching our destination.
" Uh no not that I knew"I spoke searching it. I found Gin's diary which had Aizen's thoughts written on the side. I took it they shared it.
Most of the conversation was rated G. I sat on my butt flipping through the pages. One particular entry caught my eyes. It was Gin asking Aizen what he thought about me. I scan the botom quickly. He wrote that he thought I was beautiful and probably should be rank as a two instead of a three. I raised an eyebrow. I read and reread the words. Gin asked him then if he wanted to have sex with me. I took it was before "we" hooked up. He wrote Gin why do you think I'm unlike every male out there? Gin wrote because ya want to be a god so ya can't have lusty feeling rights? Did Jesus have an affair with Magdalene? Aizen counter that. I chuckle then thought the question out. Well there was rumors they were together and started a family? Some even said"he" was gay? I then compare Aizen to them. He had me and I was due to have his baby. Huh? A similarity or not? I knew he had a huge ego in becoming a god but what does he do once he accomplishes that? Why would he suddenly break out? Is he coming for our baby? I felt my pants become wet. I unconsciously rub my thighs together. It was then I register I was more drench than usual. I looked down realizing I wasn't excited but going into labor! I drop the book and called Zaraki. He appear looking calm.
"Harribel what' s wrong?"Zaraki asked upon spotting my face.
"I'm having a baby''I panted then looked worried.
"Oh let's not panic"he spoke soothingly while helping me to my feet.
''My water just broke how can you tell me not to panic?"I gasp feeling my heart beat fast. Zaraki carried me to the table where I insisted I lied down.
"Get Mila Rose please"I ask Zaraki he vanished then apppear with her in three minutes.
"Help I'm contracting"I wheez in between contraction Mila Rose check me.
"Wow you are close to ten cm"Mila Rose shared with me and Zaraki.
"Well then?''I asked biting my bottom lip. She turn to Zaraki.
" Could you hold taicho's hand while I prep for the baby?"she asked .
"Sure''he spoke appearing by my side he held my hands. I squeeze it tightly while shutting my eyes. I could feel tears leaking out the corner of my eyelids.
"Ok just push"Mila Rose order
"Uhh!"I scream pushing hard.
"You're doing well Harribel''Zaraki soothe caressing my bangs.
"Ahhhh!"I cried thinking of another pleasant thing.
"Yes! Yes doing good so far"she spoke watching the head crown.
"One big push ok I lied two big pushes"she spoke to me. I pushed as hard as I could.
"Almost there just one thing"she spoke twisting the limp body out. I screamed after a surge of pain one hundred times stronger than that of menstrual cramps hit me.
"Ok I'm stuck''she spoke to herself. Zaraki looked at her then at me.
"Keep going don't give up"he supported me.
"Come here you"Mila Rose murmur to herself she grasp the wet hips then pulled him out along with the umbilical cord.
"And it' a boy"she spoke out of breath. I gasp then rested my head on the table.
"Zaraki would you like to cut the cord?"she asked looking at me then at him. I flash him a weak smile and nodded. He took the razor sharp scissors and sever the cord. Mila Rose then made the baby cry. He was screaming when she handles him. I listen as she wrapped him up.
"Here you go Harribel-Sama"she handed him to me. I held him while trying to sit up.
"No don't sit up you must nurse him while I collect the amniotic sac"she spoke rubbing my stomach. I apply my right nipple in his tiny wet mouth . He was red and slimy. I looked at Zaraki.
"He must weigh a good seven pounds and eight ounces"he guesses at his weight. I smile then watch as he grasp and suck my breast hungrily. Mila Rose continue to rub my stomach waiting for the blood to stop seeping.
"What happen we sense a disurbance in the ..?"Apacci pop up with Sung Sun. They gasp in shock at us.
"Is that a baby?"Apacci asked her eyes widening.
"What else could it be?"Sung Sun asked her mouth cover.
"I know that stupid!"Apacci argue with her. I gaze at my son. He lap up the "liquid gold" quickly while closing his eyes.
"Shush"Mila Rose snap at them. Zaraki stroke my forehead
"You did great" he spoke softly.
"Thanks"I answer then took his hand in mine.
"What are you going to call him?"Mila Rose asked me.
"Joaquin Harribel''I spoke looking down.
