A/N: Thank you for all of the suggestions for the name of baby, they were very helpful! I'm having my finals Tuesday, so I'm almost done with school until next semester in the fall. So hopefully, I'll have more time to write my stories. On that note, I'm actually trying to change my job, so I'm not sure whether I'll have to work more hours or not, hopefully not though, hehe. XD;; Anyways, enough of my ramblings, here's the next chapter, hope you like it! Please review!

March 11

Ichigo groaned as he felt movement on the bed beside him and turned to yell at the intruder who dared to disturb his sleep. It could be a number of people, none of which were Byakuya though. His husband was at work, meaning that the intruder was going to pay, that is if he could actually get out of bed. Opening his eyes, he glared at the redhead looking right back at him with a grin on his face.

"Morning, Sleeping Beauty, did you sleep well?" Renji asked him cheerfully as he kept staring at his best friend. Really?! Did he think he was funny or something?! Even if he was his best friend, why the hell did he have to disturb his sleep?! It was cruel and annoying on so many levels?! And why the hell was he even in his bed?!

Holding back his urge to throttle his idiotic best friend, instead he sat up and glared darkly at the taller male, while clenching the bed sheets. "What the hell are you doing here, Renji?! Why are you in my bed, dammit?!" He was really trying to reign in his temper, but the other boy was grating on his nerves, most people were these days. But that didn't matter. What mattered was the fact that he was in a light yukata in his bed with his best friend, who was not his husband, laying down right next to him. God, he hoped Byakuya or one of the servants wouldn't see this!

Renji set up as well and stretched before patting the smaller male on the bed. "Captain Kuchiki wanted me to spend the morning with you to make sure everything was alright." He replied to him with a shrug, before scratching his head as he looked down to look at his stomach. "He also wanted me to stay with you for a bit in case you were to go into labor." That answered one of his questions at least. But still, the most important question in his opinion still hasn't been answered.

"But why the hell are you in my bed?!" Losing patience, he yelled out his question before sighing. It was no use, the redhead next to him was looking confused, and he probably didn't even know why he laid down in his bed in the first place. What an idiot! Deciding that he really needed to get dressed, he slowly got up and waddled to the bathroom. "Whatever let me get ready and then we can talk."

"So, Renji, how long do you have until Byakuya expects you back?" Ichigo asked the redhead curiously as he leaned against one of the cherry blossom trees next to the koi pond. He enjoyed staying here, it was peaceful. It was a shame that he would have to leave this spot and go inside once the food was ready.

The taller of the two shrugged his shoulders and looked down at his best friend with a curious expression. "Probably around noon, since Captain Kuchiki won't be having lunch with you today he's letting me stay here longer." His husband had been getting busier and busier lately, though he had absolutely no idea what was going on exactly. And to be honest? He didn't want to know, not anymore at least. "What about you? Are you just going to be by yourself today?"

Shaking his head, the orange haired male smiled and closed his eyes, enjoying the momentary peace that he had. With the twins sated and asleep, he had sometime to himself for a while. "My parents and sisters are coming over here today, my mom misses the twins." He had no idea why, but lately as if knowing his plans somehow, she had been coming over here more often under the pretence of not spending enough time with her beloved grandchildren. That was great and all, but he really didn't know why his dad to be dragged along with her. "Trust me, after you leave, my day is going to be annoying as hell."

Renji chuckled lightly as Ichigo scowled at his predicament. "Come on; is your dad really that bad?" He had no idea! His dad was so embarrassing! Why the hell couldn't he just go embarrass Shiro instead of him?! His older brother was always spared from their dads antics, it wasn't fair! "I've never heard Shiro or your sister complaining about him."

"That's because he doesn't enjoy bothering them as much as he enjoys bothering me." He sighed in annoyance. Why exactly did that Goat Face have to come here?! It was much simpler with just his sisters and mom around; at least they didn't go around crying that they were losing their precious son, like the old man did. It annoyed the hell out of Byakuya as well, but the other male could control his anger much better than he could.

"Well, that sucks!" Renji commented with a contemplative look on his face that made Ichigo sigh again. He could just tell exactly what Renji was thinking about; it pissed him off to no end! However, before he could yell at the other about imagining his misery at the hands of his father, a maid came out telling them that their breakfast was ready. Getting up from the ground, Renji offered the pregnant male a hand to help his friend get up from the ground so that they could go to the dining area.

Ichigo growled under his breath as he watched his dad complaining to his mom about something or other that he did or said; he couldn't keep track anymore, not that he wanted to anyways. It had been like this since they came over here; his mom went straight for the twin's room, while his dad came over and started crying when he saw how pregnant he was. And his younger sisters weren't of any use either, Karin kept laughing at their dad, while Yuzu went after their mom to the nursery. "Just shut up already, damn it!" He yelled as he carefully stood up and clenched his fists.

Masaki sighed as she the twins over to where Ichigo was and handed him Akira to distract him. "Come down, honey." She told him softly and sat down on the grass with a smile on her face, Aoi still in her arms. He honestly couldn't understand how patient she was when she was dealing with his dad. "You know how your father is; just don't pay him any mind."

Sighing at his mom's suggestion, he gave one last glare to the older male, before sitting down next to the older woman. He looked down at Akira and smiled, the baby was getting bigger and bigger, he would definitely grow up to look as handsome as his father. The little boy looked so much like him, even his hair was as silky and smooth as his husbands. Looking over at Aoi, he chuckled when he saw her beautiful eyes staring at his face with a smile. Now, she was the opposite of her brother. She looked like him, minus the eye color, of course.

He looked up when he saw Yuzu coming over to them with some blankets that she brought from their room. She smiled at her brother and handed over the blue blanket, before handing her mom the pink blanket. "Aoi and Akira are just so cute!" She gushed as she looked down at the twins. That's right; Yuzu and Karin were the youngest children from their family, so they had never experienced having a little brother or sister. Looking up at Karin, he raised his eyebrow at her when she didn't even come closer to her niece and nephew. Judging by how nonchalant his other sister was being, he would guess that she didn't really care as much about babies as her twin did.

His mom giggled as she took a look at her son's reaction, before shaking her head. "Don't mind Karin, darling. She's just moody, because they're starting the academy next month and Karin's nervous." That took him by surprise, he wasn't aware that so much time had passed that the twins were starting the academy. Wow, time sure flies quickly when you're busy with your own life and forget about your former life.

Ichigo smiled at both his sisters as he snuggled his son into his chest. "So, what division are you guys hoping to get into?" He asked them curiously as he watched his sisters for a reaction. The black haired girl would probably want to go to a combat ready division, while his brown haired sister was most likely less suited for that division. But he was still curious about what they thought. He remembered how much he had wanted to be in the tenth division back then when he was starting the academy.

Karin crossed her arms and looked away as blushed lightly. "I want to be either in the Tenth Division or in the same one as big brother." That made Ichigo raise his eyebrow as he eyed his sister. While he knew that the girl wanted to fight, he didn't think that she wanted to be in the Eleventh Division! Even he never wanted to be in that division, it just wasn't the kind of division he would expect anyone to want to be in, unless they were like Shirosaki, who loved battle and destruction more than anything. Seeing the look he was giving her, she shook her head in annoyance and huffed. "Not that older brother, I meant you, dummy!"

Yuzu giggled as she watched her siblings and leaned in towards her brother. "Karin's lucky that she knows which division she wants to be in!" She told her brother, gaining his attention as she focused on him. "To tell you the truth, I'm not sure which division I would be suited in and I would probably be happy to get into whichever division picks me." It was at times like these that his youngest sister reminded him of Orihime, they were so alike sometimes. "Or maybe I'll just be picked for the Fourth Division, either way I'll be happy!"

He smiled at that. His sister was something else, even Orihime wasn't as much a happy person as Yuzu was. He was sure that whichever division she was picked for, she would do great in. Well, as long as she wasn't picked for the Second or Eleventh Division that is, not that he thought they would pick her. She was just too nice and too sweet. She didn't fit in there at all, though he could see Karin picked for the Second Division. He opened his mouth express his thoughts on that, but before he could, he screamed in pain as his water broke and he looked at Masaki with panic on his face.

"Oh, no my dear son, what's happening to you?!" Isshin rushed over to him with a panicked look on his face as well, before looking at his wife for answers. Didn't his dad realize that the baby was coming?! Not paying any attention to him, he quickly handed Akira over to Yuzu and flinched as another contraction came. Damn it, this hurt like hell!

"Isshin, the baby is coming, I need you to go get Byakuya and tell him to send a hell butterfly for Captain Unohana right away!" Masaki ordered her husband as she herself handed Aoi over to Karin and went over to Ichigo to take him to his room.

Ichigo sighed as he relaxed on the bed, with his newest son in his arms. He was truly beautiful! The little boy had his face, along with Aizen's dark brown eyes and his brown hair. But that was all that seemed to come from him, the rest was all him. It was his unruly and spiky tufts of hair that stood on his hair and his kind face staring back at him. Though he couldn't be entirely sure, but he would wager his baby would be alright.

Looking up, he smiled as he saw Byakuya coming towards them with a small smile on his handsome face. "How do you feel?" He asked him softly as he settled on the bed next to him and embraced his smaller husband from behind, making sure to rest his head on his loves shoulder, before leaning in to kiss both his husbands forehead and his newest son's. "Did you think of a name for our little boy yet?"

"I'm exhausted." He mumbled as he kept staring at the baby in his arms. He was four months younger than Aoi and Akira, but he was certain that the three of them would get along famously when they grew older. He yawned as he settled into his husbands arms with a wide smile on his face. He couldn't be happier right at this moment, he had both husband and all three of his babies were healthy. Too bad that all good things had to come to an end. "Makoto, his name is Makoto."

"Makoto Kuchiki, I like it." The older whispered into his ear as he watched them both fall asleep. Ichigo truly would cherish this moment of them, it was a very special moment and it was beautiful. His eyes slid shut as exhaustion over took him, but before he fell into a deep sleep, his last thought was that his plan would be coming into fruition soon. It was almost time.
