The family decided to have a cook out in the courtyard. As always the staff was happy to assist with a cook out because Gin and Byakuya always invited them to the cook out and usually gives them the next day off. Since the staffs were all descendants of the Raštas, they would make sure that at that Gin and the children were always protected.
Byakuya started a training program for the staff because with Gin being the Užsičiaupk, they had to ensure that the children were protected and their families also. As Gin said, it was up to them to make the tribe grow.
As the staff started to prepare for the cookout, Gin and Byakuya sat outside enjoying the sunny weather in the courtyard. They watched their grandchildren run and play. They would come and sit with them under the tree and then run back to play. Later, Hideki and Hiroki came out and started to chase the twins as they scream and laughed trying to get away from them.
As they were running, they heard their other uncle's voice from the gate. "What's all that screaming I hear?"
The children screamed Uncle Katsuo and started to run toward him. Yumichika and Ikkaku were behind him. "Oji Yumi, Oji Ikkaku!" the twins yelled as they were getting hugs and kisses.
Katsuo yelled 'Brothers' as he, Hiroki and Hideki hugged and slapped each other on the back. The group walked to the Gin and Byakuya and they all exchanged pleasantries. Yumichika, Ikkuka and Katsuo left so they could see Megumi and the baby. They passed Emiko, Fumio and their baby as they walked in the house. Fumio and Katsuo were like brothers so Emiko knew that they would be up late tonight talking.
Kira and Hisagi came a few minutes later as the twin's yelled grandpa and granddaddy at the top of their lungs. They ran and hugged them. Then they jumped in their arms. Fumio and Emiko hugged them as they placed the twins down. Kira picked up the baby and kissed and cooed over him. They hugged and kissed Hideki and Hiroki as they were going in the house to speak to everyone else. The children jumped on Hisagi as Kira carried the baby into the house with them. That left Byakuya and Gin alone with their children. Gin was rubbing his stomach as he spoke.
"Yadda, yadda, Yadda," Gin smiled as he rubbed his stomach. "This one is active tonight." Gin said as he looked at his children. They knew when their Poppa says 'yadda', the question are going to start. "I am trying my best not to read what's going on with the three of you. I will be the first to say, I am glad to have my boys home and all of you here but," Gin stopped as he got a vision of Stark and Toni. "Tadashi has been in touch with you, Emiko?" Gin looked at her. Then he looked at the twins. "He has been in touch with all of you." Gin looked at Byakuya. He shook his head no. Stark has not been in touch with him. Byakuya placed his hand on Gin's stomach to feel his baby kick and move. He smiled as he saw how Gin winched in pain from the baby's movement. "Tell me, Emiko; what is it?"
Emiko looked at her brothers then looked back at her parents. "Poppa, I don't know what is going on but Tadashi said that a faction in his world is trying to overthrow Uncle Stark and that he is trying to get Aunt Tonia away from the area. You know she is pregnant also." Emiko spoke softly as she heard the children coming outside.
Byakuya stood and started to walk towards the house when he turned to his children. "We will continue this discussion after the children go to bed." He turned and walked into the house.
Gin looked at his children. "Is this the reason you two came back?"
Hideki and Hiroki looked down. "We did not want you two to worry," Hiroki said.
"But Tadashi's concern for his family is our concern also," Hideki chimed in after Hiroki spoke. "He came to us for help. We will help him."
Gin looked at his children and saw the part of them that was of Byakuya: Pride. He smiled and looked at Emiko. "Yes, I will watch the children, if you agree to take Fumio with you."
Emiko smiled. "I hate when you do that Poppa. You know I will always make sure the children are taken care of. Grandfather already agreed."

During the picnic, everyone ate and played chase with the children, while Gin, Kira, Yumichika talked as they held the babies. Since Kira and Yumichika were channelers for Gin, the three of them began to sense that their children knew more than what they told Gin.
They looked at Emiko and Fumio in the group with Hiroki, Hideki and Katsuo, along with Megumi leaning on him. Megumi is part of the Division 8 and is soon to be captain of that Division after she returns from maternity leave.
Gin saw another group which Byakuya was talking with Ikkaku, Hisagi and Shunsui. But what caught his attention was Shinji, Kensei and Love was in that group also. That group has remained close since the Aizen - Hueco Mundo incidents. They are still a part of the Gotei 13, not in a Division but under the commander's group; his special secret operations group. They are usually gone for months and then, they surface again. Officially, they are here to see the children but, they have hardly spoken to them. Gin also knows that Shinji, Love and Kensei are in touch with Stark and his group on a regular basis. They have been on Missions with Byakuya when he goes to Hueco Mundo. Regardless of what anyone says, Byakuya and Stark have become close as allies and brothers.
"It is important that Stark continue to succeed at King of Hueco Mundo," Ukitake said as he sat next to Gin. "The Spirit King knew of Stark before anyone. He knew that Stark was strong enough to be a ruler but Aizen found out a lot of thing about him, his family and you, Gin. Stark found a file that contained information on you and himself."
"My father?" Gin asked in a very low voice.
"Yes," Ukitake answered back with a slight smile. "Evidently, your father had a file," Ukitake stopped and swallowed hard.
Kira and Yumichika looked at Ukitake and understood his feelings.
"The file started when Stark was born. Your father knew who he was and what he was to become. He tried to intercept and place Aizen in that position. We know how that turned out. Now, the roles have changed for our mates and now our children have to continue where we left off." Ukitake placed a hand on Gin's stomach. The baby kicked. "We are going to have to help Tonia because she too is pregnant. Find a place for her so that Stark does not have to worry about her."
"Something tells me that it is being taken care of now," Gin said as he watched the two groups start to break up.
"Jie ketina kovoti su Tadashi sustabdyt šią frakciją. Šis Frakcija buvo labai, skirta Teruo Shimizu, ir jie turi būti sustabdytas." (They are going to have to fight with Tadashi to stop this faction. This Faction was very dedicated to Teruo Shimizu and they have to be stopped.)"
