Aizen and Masumi were in the courtyard playing a slow game of hide and seek. Aizen made sure that he walked very slowly as his nine month old was learning to walk. He would fall but his laughter and determination would keep him going. Aizen was close by as he never let his child out of his sight.
As time went on and his grew, his mental breakdowns were very far and few. He and brothers and sister got closer and without the secrets of 'Aunt Rin', they could be "normal". Aizen would always laugh when he thought about that statement.
This day Byakuya was coming by to take Aizen and the baby to the human world. Byakuya wanted to go for a change of scene and plus Gin was there. Gin was on a special project with Urahara. The commander had given Gin special projects to work in the human world with Urahara.
As Byakuya came into the courtyard, Masumi started to clap his hands. Byakuya hugged both Masumi and Aizen as he came to picked up Masumi from the blanket he was sitting on.
"Are you ready to go?" Byakuya asked and played with Masumi.
Aizen watched as Byakuya fussed over Masumi. He smiled as he asked Byakuya why was he so much in a hurry. Byakuya smiled as he spoke baby talk to Masumi.
"Your Poppa is so funny. He always has a joke for your brother Byakuya."
Aizen asked Byakuya to watch his son as he gather their things for the trip. After a few minutes, he returned with their bags. Masumi wanted to be in his Poppa's arms as they walked through the gate.
As they gate opened, Aizen asked Byakuya a question.
"When are you going to tell him?" Aizen looked at him as he laughed.
Byakuya smiled and looked straight ahead as he said very quietly, "Sosuke got jokes today."
Byakuya asked Aizen a question in turn. "When are you going to tell Urahara about his son?"
"Dada," Masumi yelled as he saw Urahara talking with Gin. He started to reach out for him as he and Gin came to meet them.
"When did you ever think I didn't tell him?"
Byakuya remembered how he and Aizen had discussions about the baby's father before Masumi was born. He didn't tell them who but he never said that he didn't tell the father.
The two walked to their mates and hugged and kissed them. Then Urahara took his son and hugged him. Gin and Byakuya watched as he took his arm and placed it around Aizen waist as they walked away. Gin and Byakuya watched them leave.
"I . . I can't see it," Bykuya said.
Gin laughed and said, "What do you think they say about us?"
Byakuya turned and hugged his Gin. He whispered in his ear, "That is going to be us in about 8 months."
It took a few seconds for it to sink in but Gin smiled and kissed Byakuya as he picked him up. "This time you are going to be very careful and we will make sure you get the best care."
"Long as we are together, I will be fine." Byakuya said as he held tight to Gin.

Urahara watched Aizen as he and Masumi sat on a blanket for a picnic he set up for them in his underground area. Byakuya and Aizen took turns playing peek-a-boo with Masumi as he laughed as he tried his best to walk between the two of them.
Gin came up and sat next to Urahara as they both watched their mates.
"Well, I guess congratulations are in order," Urahara said to Gin.
Gin wondered how he knew until he looked at Aizen.
"Don't worry, Sosuke did not tell me. Byakuya just has that smile Sosuke had when he told me about Masumi. I think that is a common smile." Urahara continued to look at his family. "Go ahead," he smiled, "Go ahead and ask your questions."
Gin smiled and knew that he had questions. For the last month, he and Urahara have worked on an assignment for the commander. He got to know Gin better as Gin go to know him. He knew Gin had a question and he hope to answer them for him.
"Alright then, how did you two meet and why him?"
Urahara smiled and closed his fan. "I will tell you that I knew of Aizen, just like I knew of you and Byakuya. Yoruichi knew more of Byakuya because of her family since I was banished. As you probably guessed, the commander could not fight it but he gave me enough projects to keep me busy and also I assist all shinigami that have assignment in the real world as does Isshin Kurosaki and his son Ichigo.
"One night, it was rain very hard; stormy night. You know the corner out in front of the shop where you all turn going to town? Well, that night, I found Sosuke sitting on the corner. He was out of his mind. He didn't even know how he got to where I found him. He was soaking wet and he was rambling about a son. Despite all of the rain, I could tell her was crying. I took him in and he placed him in the back room. He sat in the corner repeating a statement over and over again. I noticed he was having a mental breakdown. I knew what I had to do to stop it but that time I knew it was risky. As long as he stayed in that state I had time. I sent word to the commander about Sosuke Aizen and he sent word back by Yoruichi. I was given permission," suddenly Urahara stopped. He looked at Gin. He knew that he had to explain so that Gin would understand.
"Gin, when Byakuya was pregnant with the first child, did you feel anything like a connection to him?"
Gin thought. He remembered the night Byakuya disappeared. He remembered going outside of the gate but could not find him. He felt a connection with him ever since.
Urahara looked at Gin. "Keep that in mind. Every shinigami has that connection with someone. You have it with Byakuya. Yoruichi has it with Sui Fong. Ichigo with Rukia like Isshin had it with Masaki. What I am saying that we have strong direct connections with one shinigami and lots of secondary connection with others. So know you can see where I am going?"
"So, our connections were by choice?" Gin asked.
"You are right. But with Sosuke," Urahara stopped and smiled as Aizen looked at him and waived. He waived back. He kept talking. "But with Sosuke, I did it to save his life. I connected to him and because he was melting down, I got to enter and read his mind. I saw things that would have made anyone lose it." Urahara paused and took a deep breath. "What you described he went through is nothing compared to seeing it what he went through. Like you said, she was a real piece of work. Well as I saw what I happened, I could see things to repair. I found things that would trigger his episodes and with his help I tried to repair things. I taught him how to identify and how to stop and regroup. Before we knew it, we were in love. Next thing I know, I am waking up with him in my arms. We kept it a secret. He wanted to stop because you were coming close to the end of his investigation. That night you arrested him, I felt him breaking down. He had already told me that he was pregnant, so I made sure he was never alone, especially at night.
"You know how to get in, although you were banned?" Gin asked.
"Yes," he smiled, "remember who my friend is and that I taught her some things." He smiled as he thought about the times he and friends had growing up. "I will tell you that my goal was to protect Sosuke Aizen. I was determined to get him out of that mental facility. The day Byakuya went to the Central 46 to remove him from that facility, I was going to bring him here before night fall." He paused as he wanted ask Gin a question.
"Gin, I want to ask you that you do not take Sosuke and my son with you. I hope that you do not take this wrong but I love him and my son. I do not want them to be far away from me." Urahara looked at his son waiving at him as Byakuya was holding him pointing for him to waive at him and Gin. "You know how I feel."
Gin smiled and looked at the group in front of him. He knew exactly how Urahara felt. His love was pregnant and he knew that he was not going to do any big move but they had to get out of Doc's house. He came up with a plan. Byakuya was so intent on getting the children from where they are to the village. "I will see what I can do."
Later that night, Aizen, Urahara and Masumi went out to the park for the fireworks show. It was the first time for Masumi and he enjoyed the show with his parents. Gin and Byakuya decide to go out to dinner then go visit the Kurosaki's. Rukia was staying with them and Byakuya wanted to see his sister. They too decided to go to the fireworks show. As they were about to leave, Ichigo and Rukia felt something. So did Gin. He instructed Byakuya to stay with Isshin and his family and then he was gone.
"I hope Sosuke and Masumi are okay." Isshin looked at Byakuya and knew that he had a connection to Aizen and to Masumi.
"If you stay, I will go and find out what's going on but you got to promise. I care for them also." Isshin gave Byakuya a quick kiss on his forehead and left. Byakuya got up and started to pace. He had a bad feeling.
When Isshin arrived, he saw Urahara holding a sleeping Masumi in his arms. Gin, Ichigo and Rukia were standing in a group next to Urahara. Ichigo saw his father and called out to him. Gin started to tell him what they knew so far.
Urahara said that he went to get another blanket for Sosuke and when he came back, Masumi was on the blanket asleep. Sosuke was gone. The reason he came back was because he felt a spiritual pressure although slight he felt it. Someone or something took him. Just as Gin was going to ask about say something, his phone ranged. He knew it was the commander.
"Yes commander." Gin answered. As he listened, everyone saw his expression change to shock. He told the commander that he understood and will get back in touch with him. As he hung up the phone he looked at Urahara. He walked up to him.
"Urahara, we got to go to Byakuya because he will watch Masumi while you are gone. I know that you are going to find Sosuke but we got to make sure he is okay. He is at Isshin's home and you know that he will be safe with Byakuya. Ichigo and Rukia will go with you. We will be right behind you."
Gin held Isshin back as they watch the others leave.
"Isshin, we are going to have to update Urahara on the developments. Sosuke's brothers, Amagai and Tosen, were killed with everyone else at the estate. Yoruichi is with Sui Fong; she is upset as you can imagine." Gin paused and he thought about Aizen.
Isshin told Gin that they had to go before Urahara left. The two did a flash step to his home. When they arrived, they saw Byakuya holding a sleeping Masumi and Urahara on the patio outside. Gin went to Byakuya and hugged him.
"How are you doing?" Gin asked as he kissed his forehead.
Byakuya told him that he felt fine and that he felt that their child was fine. He looked down on Masumi and said that he is sound asleep. Gin thought it was strange that he is still asleep. He wondered. .
"Urahara, did Sosuke place Masumi in this sleep state?"
"Yes, he did. Sosuke did that because he saw what was happening and he did not want our son to have a memory of him being taken away. How long he will sleep," he took in a deep breath, as long as he told him to. When he wakes, he won't give Byakuya any problems for a while. Now, what did the commander tell you Gin?"
The three men along with Ichigo and Rukia stood in a small huddle. Gin began to tell them about the attack on the estate. How both Amagai and Tosen were killed along with the staff that was on duty. "It was a very light staff due to Aizen leaving and taking Masumi with him. The only other place he would be is in the human world with Urahara. That means it was a recon on Aizen for a while. This trip was a last minute trip due to Byakuya wanting to come and see me." Gin stopped and looked at Byakuya sitting on the couch cuddling Masumi. His thought went through his mind. 'What if he was just visiting? What if they decided to stay at the estate?'
"Gin, Byakuya saved Sosuke and Masumi on time before. I am thankful that Sosuke has such a friend that cares for him. Now I have to save him." He said as he too looked at Byakuya holding Masumi. He squirmed in his arms as he tried to get comfortable. It is like he knew it was not his Poppa but he knew Byakuya as a guardian and older brother. He saw how Byakuya kept his emotions calms so that Masumi would not wake or get upset. Urahara told Gin that Byakuya is going to be a wonderful parent to their child.
As the evening ended, it was agreed that Masumi and Byakuya would stay with Isshin and his family. It was not safe to go back to the shop now or to the Soul Society. The commander stated that Isshin would have to ensure that the two were safe. Tessai had come to Urahara after he learned of the incident.
Urahara sat alone in the backyard as he tried to connect with Aizen. He was being blocked, and then all of a sudden, he got through. He saw where Aizen was and could feel his surroundings.
"Gin, what happened to Rin's manservant?"
"He stated that he was a servant of the Kuchiki household. We let most of them go because they did not have any idea of what kind of person Rin Kuchiki was." Gin felt like kicking himself for not seeing that coming. "Damn it," he whispered under his breath. He did not want Byakuya to know that Rin is still making havoc in Sosuke's life.
"Gin, please do not kick yourself for what happened. I should have seen it also but we both were concern about our mates that we overlooked things we just started to look at." Urahara got up and looked at Gin. "I know where he is and I am going to get him. I am going to say good bye to my son and I will be leaving."
Gin grabbed his arm and asked him, "Where is he?"
Urahara looked at Gin. Gin smiled because he knew that Aizen was in one of the districts in Rukongai.
"I am going with you; Ichigo and Rukia are going too. Isshin will stay and watch over Byakuya and Masumi. Tessai would watch over the store but would assist Isshin with transport of Unohana and other captains to assist Isshin." Gin said as he looked at Urahara. "When are we leaving?"
-#-
Gin stood hugging Byakuya. They held on to each other as not to let each other go.
"I promise not to worry. Just come home as soon as you can. Be careful, please." Byakuya started to cry.
"No, no, no," Gin said as he wiped the tear from his lover face, "don't cry." Gin got on one knee and placed his ear next to his stomach. "Hey little one," Gin whispered to Byakuya's stomach, "You take of your Poppa until I come back. He kinda important to both of us." He kissed his stomach.
Urahara was holding his son. He had started to cry. Urahara tried to comfort him. He told him that he promised that he would bring back his Poppa. Urahara held his son close as he cried.
Byakuya came to Urahara and hugged him. He took Masumi from his father and tried to comfort him.
"Dada," he cried out as he tried to reach for Urahara. Byakuya turned and walked back into the house. As he spoke to Masumi, it seemed to have calmed him down some but he still continued to cry.
Gin and Urahara tried to their best not to turn around. Isshin stood in front of them and asked if they were ready? Rukia and Ichigo were standing behind them. They told them that the commander had other captains that would meet them on the other side of the gate.
"Let's go. I have I a promise I got to keep." Urahara said as everyone saw him turn from the easy going shopkeeper to a powerful shinigami that they all felt.
Isshin used his katana to unlock the Senkaimon. Before they walked through Isshin told not to worry, "Unohana will be here soon to help and Ichigo, Rukia, stay focused." They nodded to Isshin as they walked through the gate.
Gin and Urahara thanked Isshin as they walked through the gate.
On the other side the two were met by the captains, Kira, Abarai, Hisagi and Sui Fong. Yoruichi stood in front and hugged her best friend.
"Do you know what we are up against?"
"Yes, I do."
-#-
Aizen lay on the floor with a collar. He had a blank stare in his eyes. He knew where he was but he was in his world; the world only Urahara could talk to him. But this time he was aware of his surroundings. He was able to hear who was speaking to him. She ran her fingers through his hair as he lay on the floor.
"Don't worry Sosuke. I will try to protect you as long as I can but you have to give us what we need." The woman gets up and looked at the man looking at her.
"You should have brought the child with you. You know that is the one way to control him. Now we are operating against the clock. He may take extreme measures to get him to that level."
Kunio looked at Nori as she rubbed her hands together, as she thought how Isamu will react to this. She thought how violent he has become. He is starting to unravel.
"What wrong Nori? Did you have any problems?" Isamu said as he walked to Aizen. He started to stroke his hair as he looked at Aizen. "Dear sweet Nori, where is the baby? Where is his baby?"
