Chapter 29

The next day, as promised, Orihime posted the advertisement for the position at Halcyon. It was now a matter of wait and see if anyone qualified would apply.

Also, as promised, she called Isshin. He recommended Orihime journal how she was feeling physically and mentally for the next several days, then send him the entries, but if she noticed anything specifically wrong to call him and he would have Ryuuken set her up with an obstetrician. She agreed, and things were fine, more or less.

The following Monday, an interview was scheduled for an applicant who seemed quite qualified. However, things were incredibly busy at the shop and she had gotten a call from a panicked Kazui on Eri's phone that he had forgotten something he needed for school, so she had to run it over to him.

When she returned to the shop, the place was in shambles.

"What did you do with the… Honestly, Satomi, how do we do this without Riruka? I thought she was pretty much useless around here, but with her gone and me pregnant… Ulquiorra is a big help, but he has a job already. Are you sure you can't increase your hours?"

The part-timer sighed. "No, I can't. I have classes and I have to help with my grandfather, I'm sorry. You're right, though. We need somebody who is here most of the time. Do you know anyone good? So far the employment office applicants have been a bust."

Orihime sighed, went to her office, and called Ulquiorra. He would be on his way home already.

"Hello Woman. Did you need help?" Ulquiorra asked.

"Yes, in more ways than one. Hello, Sexy," she purred back.

A small purr left his throat and Ulquiorra had to hold back from growling into the phone. He liked it that she called him pet names like that. "Well perhaps I can turn the car around and come visit you, but I would have to deliver the children either to the house or Isshin. I can feel this isn't a pleasure call, though. It's business, isn't it?"

"Well, it can be both. But business before pleasure. Do you think I need to hire somebody full-time to take over for Riruka? I mean, I'm not going to be useless for a few more months. I just asked Satomi again, but she can't work more hours. Everyone I've interviewed so far seemed completely useless, though."

"It would make sense to hire someone, though," he said. Ulquiorra couldn't wait to get home and offload the children. He was willing to go back for alone time with Orihime. "I don't want you working for at least six months after Three is born."

"Six months!" Orihime was blindsided. "I mean, I wouldn't want to go back full time but I need to be there from time to time before that, don't you think?" She thought about it for a minute. "Actually, I don't know if I want to go back full time until Three is in school… It's something we need to talk about, though."

He was frowning. She needed time to heal and nurture the child. "I think you need to think logically about this. From the books I've read, it says that you could develop conditions and such from pregnancy."

She sighed. "Well, we'll jump off that bridge if we come to it," she said with a smile.

"Alright, Orihime. After I drop the children off at the house, I'll be there, okay?" The suggestion of romantic things was implied.

"Hmm," the amorous undertone in the hum was unmistakable. "I'll be waiting."

It would be about a half hour before Ulquiorra would get there, so she got back to work, losing herself in her tasks until the bell on the door rang.

"Excuse me? I'm here about the ad?" A short woman asked. She had short hair and extreme winged liner around her eyes with bright pink lips.

"Oh! Yes, come into my office, um…" Orihime trailed off, not remembering the appointment's name.

"Ai Yamada."

"Nice to meet you, Yamada-san. I'm Orihime Kurosaki, owner of Halcyon Cafe and gifts. Right this way."

The interview was great. Orihime didn't think she had the best personal connection with this woman, but she seemed supremely competent and had a lot of bakery experience. By the time it was over, she found herself asking, "When can you start? I'd like you to meet my partner before making the final decision, but I think you would be a very good fit, Yamada-San."

"Uh probably tomorrow, if that's okay?" the woman said.

Orihime grinned. "If you'd like to take a seat, Satomi can get you some coffee or tea, and Cifer-san should be here in about ten minutes."

The woman nodded and looked around the shop instead of taking a seat or getting coffee. It was nice. Cozy… Disgusting really, in a cutesy way. Oh well; it was a job, and from the sounds of it, this was going to be an easy one. She was looking at the coffee for sale when she heard voices behind her.

"Woman," Ulquiorra said as he came through the door.

"Hello my darling," Orihime said softly, but loud enough to be overheard if one was listening. "I think I found someone. Would you like to meet her and put your seal of approval on it?"

Ulquiorra stopped his movement and thought about this. What if this person was worse than Riruka? What if this woman didn't make things easier? Finally he nodded, "Did you get any bad vibes off of them? Did they seem like your former partner?"

"Well, no especially bad vibes. This certainly would not be a friendly relationship, I think, but she seems very competent and qualified. She seems professional to me. I'd like your opinion, though." Orihime was already turning toward the new woman. "She's just there. First impressions?" she whispered.

The green eyed man turned towards the woman that Orihime had indicated and stared at her for a moment. This potential employee seemed rather edgy, or at least her appearance screamed that. "I'm not sensing anything malicious," he replied. "She looks decent."

"Yamada-san," the pregnant woman beckoned. "This is my partner, Ulquiorra Cifer. Ulquiorra, this is Ai Yamada."

Ulquiorra watched as this Yamada person approached them. She smiled at both of them before giving a small bow. There was something about her he couldn't put his finger on. "Hello," he stated.

"Hello. I'm able to start tomorrow, if I am what you're looking for. I can work as many hours as I can get my hands on too," Ai said. She nodded at Orihime. "This place is really lovely."

Orihime smiled at her brightly. "Thank you. I really love this place, so it's important that I leave it in capable hands while I'm busy with our new baby," she said, throwing an adoring glance in Ulquiorra's direction.

The smile on Ai's face grew wider. "Oh, that's wonderful news! Congratulations."

"Uh, if you'll take a seat, I will be just a moment, Yamada-san." Ulquiorra pulled Orihime into the kitchen, closing the door behind them. "Well? What do you think?"

"She is leagues better than anyone else I've interviewed. She worked in bakeries and patisseries and she has managed a cafe. It's like she is perfect," Orihime breathed, feeling like she was in the precipice of winning the employer lottery.

He went silent again as the thought about it. Something felt off, but he chalked it up to his concerns about Orihime. "Okay then, boss woman, you may hire her."

Orihime stood on her toes and kissed him deeply before going out to tell Ai the good news.

Later that evening, when they were closing up the shop, Orihime happened to look up at the calendar. "Ulquiorra?"

"Yes?" he said as he was restocking the coffee display and dusting off the merchandise. "What?"

"A week from today is Eriko's birthday. Did you have anything in mind for how to celebrate?"

He furrowed his brow and thought about it for a moment. "Usually I take her out for dinner and let her have a treat. That might not be a viable option this year with including you and Kaz in the celebration. What do you suggest?"

"Why don't we have a party here like we did for Kazui? We can get her some presents and have cake and ice cream. Maybe you and I can have some "adult time" on the roof again, afterwards?" she said, waggling her eyebrows at him comically.

The man licked his lips as he remembered what happened on that rooftop the first time. He moved closer to Orihime and pressed the front of his body against the back of hers. "I would love to have some adult time with you. Maybe we could order a pizza for her dinner. We could have some wine… Well I can, you can't."

She swayed her hips against his slowly, letting her head loll back onto his shoulder. "I like the taste of wine on your lips better than I like to drink it, anyway," she said in a husky voice.

"Careful, Woman or I might bend you over the counter like I bent you over my couch," he murmured into her ear.

"Unfortunately, my new body shape makes bending me over such an object difficult. You'll have to find another way," she replied with a smirk.

"Thank god we left your bed upstairs," he stated. Ulquiorra let his eyes rake up and down the redhead's body. He could feel the desire coursing through him as he placed his arms around her waist, letting his hands settle on her pregnant stomach. "Has today been better on the exhaustion and getting sick?"

"Much. I feel like a million yen. My face is starting to fill out a bit, though," she chuckled. "I should probably lay off the baked goods. Oh well, it's to be expected I suppose. Three needs nutrients."

Ulquiorra's mouth pressed into a thin line. "Baked goods are not proper nutrients, especially cake. However," he paused, "I do enjoy watching you fill out. It's nice actually, watching the process this time."

She turned her head to smile at him, the apples of her cheeks glowing. It was true. Her lips and cheeks were fuller. Her hair looked thicker and shinier. She had the legendary pregnancy glow now that she was well into her second trimester. "It's fun, isn't it? Just wait until my breasts start growing; then you are in for a treat," she laughed a bit too hard at that.

"Breasts can grow?" He sounded dumbfounded and awestruck by this information. "Why am I in for a treat?"

"They can and they will. Whether or not you find it a treat depends on your tastes, really. I assumed you'd like large breasts like a lot of men do." She chuckled, putting a bowl into the fridge and removing her apron. "But it really gets fun once my milk comes in."

Ulquiorra let her go to lean against the counter and crossed his arms over his chest. He shook his head with a hint of a smile on his face. "I don't have a preference as to body types. I only know that I love your body very much. I'm sure you know that."

"I do, but I do enjoy it when you prove it to me. Shall we?" she asked leading the way toward the door.

He didn't have to be told twice to follow her. In fact, Ulquiorra was right behind her as they crossed the cafe floor. "Are we doing business first ,or pleasure?"

"Pleasure is our business tonight," she answered as soon as she got to the bottom of the stairs. She made sure that she was well past anyone's line of sight from the shop front windows before she started pulling her t-shirt off from over her head, and she had managed to get her skirt halfway down her hips by the time she reached the landing.

Green eyes watched her carefully as he opened the door to the apartment. Ulquiorra scooped Orihime into his arms as he entered the apartment without bothering to remove his shoes. "Couch or bed?" he asked.

"Sir's choice," she answered, grinning widely as she walked her fingertips up the side of his arm to his neck before kissing the side of it, then whispering in his ear, "I want you to be comfortable; I plan on staying here awhile."

With that answer he made his way to the bedroom door, like he had originally planned. After entering the room, and leaving the door open, Ulquiorra set his girlfriend on the top of the mattress before he unbuttoned the shirt he had on and removed it. "A while? What else do you have planned, milady?"

"Nothing. Just you and me. I've missed you. We haven't had "grown up time' in awhile," she said, shimmying her skirt and panties the rest of the way down her legs before reaching behind her to take off her bra, her back arching off the bed to allow space for her hands and showing off her growing belly. Orihime had absolutely no shame about her body like this; she adored her growing child and was proud of the changes her body made to nurture it.

"Heh, are you trying to tempt me?" Ulquiorra didn't care how Orihime looked as long as she felt good about herself. He loved her with his entire being. She was the reason he had a heart. "It's hard to have grown up time when we have two children who ask a lot of questions about what we are doing."

"Exactly. That's one reason why I wanted to hold onto this place, at least until they get bored of us," she laughed. "This is where we can hold our sexcapades, and after Three is born, it will be a good place to keep him -or her- for naps when I'm working."

Ulquiorra was in the process of removing his pants when he heard Orihime refer to the fetus as her. His head came up and he peered at the woman. "You think that Three might be a girl now?"

She smiled at him and shook her head a bit. "I have no idea. I just think the word Three sounds kind of feminine. Plus I already had a boy, so it's kind of fun to imagine that Three's a girl. But I would be overjoyed if Three was a boy as well. Do you have any ideas?"

"I would like a girl, but I just want the child to be healthy and normal with black hair and brown eyes," Ulquiorra said as he climbed onto the bed naked.

"What, you have a problem with redheads?" she asked with mock offense, then giggled as she rolled on her side to face him and plant a kiss on his lips. "We should probably start thinking about names, though."

His lips found the side of her neck and he started kissing the area there without a care in the world. "Mmmm," he hummed. "No clue. What are some of the ideas that you had if Three is a girl?"

"Hmm, well," she paused to kiss his collar bone, "Depends. Which last name would we give her or him? There are too many variables. We could pick some unisex names. Ones that always sound good." She paused to moan as he kissed a sensitive spot. "Were we talking? I don't remember," she murmured as her hands roamed his chest.

"I would like the child to have my last name," Ulquiorra said before his mouth moved to her chest, nipping and kissing the flesh there. He smiled at her sounds. "I love you, Orihime."

"Hmmm, I love you too, Ulquiorra," she sighed as she pushed on his shoulders so that he was on his back. She sat up and mounted his legs, knees on either side of his thighs. She ran her hands from his pelvis to his neck and followed them with her lips, kissing a trail up his abdomen and over the black markings on his skin. "I love everything about you," she whispered into his ear before taking the lobe in between her lips and mouthing on it.

He smiled at her and watched her. "Taking charge tonight I see. Well it's a good thing I can just sit back and relax," he said.

"For now. I expect a round two tonight," she said, smiling as she worked her way back to an upright position. Her hands wrapped around his cock and started to slowly stroke it as she looked down into his eyes. "Thank you," she said, smiling with a kind of dreamy, far-away smile.

"What have I done to deserve thanks?" he asked. Ulquiorra tried to keep his eyes on her but couldn't as her hand slipped over the head of his cock. His eyes squeezed shut. "God, that feels good."

"Good," she said, biting down on her lip for a moment. "As for how you deserve my thanks," she began to list items, stroking him slowly from base to tip as she said each entry, "For being an excellent father figure to my son, for buying out Riruka, for protecting me from unwanted male attention, for Three, for loving me," she said the last thing and was satisfied with the state of his rigidity, then reached between her legs for lubrication and brought the wet fingers to the head of his cock, slowly massaging a circle with her wet thumb just around the ridge near at the base of his crown.

"Ooooh," he breathed out, feeling her fingers along his skin. Damn she was good at this. She was better than good. He dug his teeth into his bottom lip. "I would do all that and more if I could, Woman. Let me make love to you."

"As you wish," she said, not waiting for him to take action, but moving her body to reach his and guiding him toward her entrance before she slowly sank down on him, sighing with pleasure as she did. "I love you. I love you inside of me," she moaned as her sex met his belly.

The way her body molded to his cock had his eyes rolling back into his head. Orihime felt-there were no words to describe how she made him feel. She didn't even give him a second to get used to the feeling before she was moving on top of him. Ulquiorra had to brace his feet on the bed to start thrusting into her body and catch her rhythm.

"Oh, Ulquiorra," she moaned without reservation. It was so nice to just let loose and enjoy one another without worrying about being heard or interrupted. She had closed her eyes soon after he began to move, enjoying the sensation alone, but when she opened her eyes and saw the look of exertion mixed with enjoyment on his face, she lost her breath. One hand braced on his thigh behind her and the other grabbed a handful of her own tit as her body bowed backwards, huffing and puffing as she worked over him.

Seeing her grab herself made his excitement grow. Ulquiorra decided that he wanted to feel her body, too, as his hands traveled up her thighs and over the growing bump on her abdomen. Eventually he had his hand on the breast that she wasn't groping, pulling gently on her nipple. This was good. Almost too good. Even if they came now, they had a while before they had to be back at the house. The kids could fend for themselves. He increased the pace as he helped her bounce on his lap.

Her voice left her in sharp gasps with each of his thrusts as she lost her rhythm and surrendered to his. She would not be long, now. Pregnancy made her more sensitive than ever, and what he was doing felt amazing. "Ah, Ulquiorra, I'm almost there," she breathed.

Hearing her was even better as his eyes closed. He was surrendering to the waves of pleasure going through his nerves. He could feel the pressure building in his spine and legs as he continued to move his hips with her. "Don't hold back, Woman. I want to hear you come on me," he murmured.

If loud was what he wanted, loud he would receive. Her gasps turned into moans as her walls began to tighten on him, and then grew to squeals of pleasure, some just noises, others his name, as she fell apart. Her passage constricted around him tightly at her climax and she called out loudly with her mouth wide open in a long, ecstatic cry before falling onto his chest, whimpering and trying to catch her breath.

He was huffing too as he continued to move within her, slowly enjoying the aftershocks of his own orgasm. Each little tingle sent shivers through his body, but it soon became too much as overstimulation took over. That had been an intense ride to a blissful end. Ulquiorra rubbed her back, hands gently covering the surface. "Are you okay?" he asked after several quiet moments, kissing her head.

"Better than ever," she said and huffed, still out of breath but grinning widely. "You?"

"Excellent. I love you, Woman. Thank you."

She laughed, although it nearly sounded like a cough. "For what? I love you too, if it wasn't already obvious."

"Thank you for loving me? Giving me another child? Loving my daughter? For not hating me?" Ulquiorra listed off all the things he was grateful for as questions rather than statements. At that moment, he felt happiness that extended beyond his comprehension.

She propped herself up on her forearms and kissed him soundly. "I would do it a million times over. Well, not a million more children, but I would not refuse you one or two after this one," she giggled and kissed the tip of his nose before burrowing into his body and nuzzling his cheek.

Ulquiorra laughed along with her. "Maybe one more. We need to find a dwelling that will accommodate all of us first, before we decide on more offspring."

She laughed again. "I don't suppose you hung on to any of Eriko's baby furniture, did you? I donated Kazui's after I gave up on trying with Ichigo."

He shook his head, recalling what he had read in her journals about Ichigo's constant refusals of her requests for another child. "I'm afraid not. As soon as she was old enough for a regular bed, I got rid of everything. I kept only things that I thought were important to her childhood."

"We'll only need a few things at first. I don't expect a shower for a second child, so we won't get loaded with a bunch of things we don't need. I really appreciate how minimalist our home is now; I'd like to keep it that way as much as possible," she thought out loud.

"Good, because we don't really need anything else in our home. I like your apartment though. It has a cozy vibe to it," Ulquiorra said with a yawn.

"I agree. Let's keep it for as long as it's feasible. There are a lot of good memories here," she said, a sly smile pulling on her lips. "Especially on the roof."

Ulquiorra smiled. "However, the time on the roof did not give us Three, so I only rank the time on the roof as the number two greatest life-changing moment with you."

Dear God, this man was a gift. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and squeezed, squishing the side of her face against his cheek and trying not to cry. "I can't believe how in love with you I am, Ulquiorra. How lucky that we met again. I-" she ran out of words, which displeased her. She had so many feelings she didn't know how to express.

He wrapped his arms around her tighter but careful not to squish her tummy. He could feel the emotions coursing through him and he nodded. "I feel the same, Orihime. I know. C'mon let's get some rest and then we can talk some more business. Okay?"

"Okay," she said, letting her head fall onto his shoulder and closing her eyes.

Orihime woke up an hour and fifteen minutes later and yawned before peppering Ulquiorra's neck with kisses. "Rise and shine, my pretty," she murmured.

"Mmmm," Ulquiorra hmphed as he tried to roll over. He was having lovely dreams and didn't want to wake up just yet. He opened one eye and stared at the woman. "Why?" he mumbled.

"Well, you could just sleep through it if you want," she said, kissing her way down to his chest and catching one of his nipples in her mouth for a few moments. "It's up to you," she murmured against his skin after releasing the now-firm skin as her hands wandered idly over his body.

"What did you have on your mind?" Ulquiorra asked, grabbing another pillow and placing it behind his head, so that he could see what she was doing. "I mean, I'd like to know if it's worth staying awake for."

"You can be the judge of that," she said, pulling the sheets down his body and following its wake with her lips. "Here's to grown up time," she murmured as she began to stroke his length again, from testes to tip, placing light kisses on the side of it as she did.

He let out a choking sound as soon as Ulquiorra saw what she was doing. Holy shit. His eyes went wide and he had to swallow. No one had ever touched him like this before. Ever. He never allowed Yuko to do it, although that woman had offered when they were acquaintances. "Woman..." he drawled the word out as his cock twitched at the contact.

"Yes, my love?" she asked in a sweet, almost angelic voice, not stopping what she was doing.

"What are you doing?" he asked. A moan left him as her mouth brushed over the underside of the head. His hands grabbed the sheet under him, fingers curling into the fabric.

"It has many names. Do you know them?" she asked, letting her tongue snake out and bathe the underside of his cock from bottom to top.

Ulquiorra whimpered at the contact, his hips shifting on their own. "No? I mean I know-Kinda? This has never been done to me before," he explained.

She paused her efforts and her dark eyes looked up to him from over the head of his cock, gleaming at him in anticipation. "Then you are in for a real treat. Feel free to do what feels right. Sit back and watch, participate, just don't push too deep, promise?" she said, licking her lips before taking him into her mouth, keeping her eyes on him the whole time.

That she could still taste herself on him only stoked her enthusiasm, and she swirled her tongue around the crown of his cock like it was ice cream.

Groaning, Ulquiorra gripped the sheet tighter. His eyes closed and his teeth sank into his bottom lip as he tried not to cry out at what she was doing to him. This felt like heaven; like he'd died again and was in a pit of ecstasy instead of hell. She was just licking him, and it felt like he was going to come just from that.

"You okay?" she gasped as she came off of him for a moment and then closed her lips around him, moving her mouth up and down his cock a few inches, using her tongue on the underside and her right hand to take care of the remaining length.

"Hnngh," he managed to get out. "I'm… going..." His hips flexed on their own and he gritted his teeth feeling her mouth enclosed around him. This woman was going to be the death of him with how she was sucking his dick. "Orihime."

Her eyes smiled as she hummed her acknowledgement, but did not let up with her efforts. She wanted this man to feel like his world was shattered and remade. She wasn't going to stop until she was satisfied that he did.

Feeling his muscles tense in a strange new way, Ulquiorra wasn't sure if he was going to be able to stop the orgasm that threatened his nerves. "Woman, I'm going to come. Please," he said, lifting his head and opening his eyes to look at her. That was all it took. Seeing her mouth wrapped around his cock and the look of enjoyment there… He moaned as his body rode the first wave of his climax.

She smiled as she licked the first load off the tip of his dick and then kept using her hand to milk him dry, ropes of pearly white cum splattering her cheeks, chest, and his belly as she smiled and chuckled a bit. She didn't mind the mess at all. To her it was part of the fun. There were towels in the bathroom. When his abdomen started spasming at her movements, she knew he was spent and she carefully used her palm to take as much of the mess off of him as she could with that final pass, then grinned at him, waiting for him to look and see what he had done.

His brain wasn't functioning. It couldn't be working properly after that. That was absolutely the quickest orgasm he had ever experienced in the seventeen years he had been a human. "Wow," he mumbled.

"You're telling me. This is the first time I've ever seen how much you come. No wonder I got knocked up so fast," she laughed after she said it, small dimples on her cheeks popping out.

Ulquiorra looked at her with a confused expression. "Is this amount not normal? It's always been that way."

"Darling, I have only been with you and Kazui's dad. It's a small sample size. But I can tell you, this is more than sufficient," she said, still smiling as she carefully got off of the bed. "I'm going to wash off and be right back with a wet towel for you. I love you," she said as she turned to go out the door.

He didn't have the energy to watch her leave the room so he just laid there and tried to remember how to do basic things like breathe, and move his legs. How did men deal with that activity on a regular basis? How did they become accustomed to such carnal delights? It was baffling to him. He sighed and placed a forearm over his eyes, trying to will his brain to order.

A couple minutes later Orihime returned and silently began to clean him up, using a warm cloth on his belly, legs, and sex before kissing his head and lying down next to him again, pulling the covers back up. "Are you alright? Did I break you? I brushed my teeth, by the way, so you don't have to be weirded out by anything," she said with a smile on her lips.

"Hmph, you think I'd be weirded out by that? I've read the puberty books too, you know. It's a natural thing and it came out of my body so it's probably healthy," Ulquiorra said. He gave her a faint smile. "I'm alright, but I've never had that done, so I did not know what to expect. I was not disappointed, but I think I am utterly ruined for today. You're going to have to drive my car back with me in the other seat because my brain… it's gone on vacation."

"Ha ha! Then I have you right where I want you," she teased. "So for baby names, I was hoping you'd agree to Reginald or Francesca Romaine Lettuce Cifer. What do you think?"

One eyebrow rose dangerously high. "Ha, you think you're hilarious, don't you woman? Do we want Three to have a Spanish name or a Japanese name?"

"Hmmm, I wouldn't mind a Spanish name, but I don't want to make his life any more difficult than it needs to be. Maybe we could find one that works in Japanese like how the name Ken is both English and Japanese; maybe we could find a Spanish one that works like that."

"What about the Japanese word for surprise?"

"Bikkuri? That sounds ridiculous, sorry," she said with a chuckle. "Are there any particular names you like? It might be easier to go that route."

Ulquiorra shook his head. "Is there somewhere we can purchase a baby name book?"

"Good idea," she said, rolling onto her back and rubbing a hand over her belly. "What's your name, little one? Maybe you'll just tell us," she said with a soft voice.

He watched her for a moment, lifting his arm off of his face. "I didn't get to name Eriko. Yuko did that all on her own. I know nothing about naming children."

Orihime smiled at him warmly. "I'm sorry you missed this for Eriko, but I'm glad things worked out the way they did. I've never been happier." She took his hand and put it over her belly. "They can hear us, you know. I'm not sure if it's quite yet, but at least soon, Three will start to recognize our voices."

Nodding, Ulquiorra smiled at her. "That's what the baby book says. Soon a lot of major things will be happening with Three."

Orihime started to gather some clothes but paused to confirm, "So it's decided, right? We can do Eriko's birthday downstairs again and then we can all sleepover here?" Before he could answer, she turned her head toward Ulquiorra quickly and asked, "When is your birthday, by the way?"

"Uh, it has always been December first. I never celebrate it, though." Ulquiorra turned his head to stare at his girlfriend.

She smiled. "We don't have to have a party for you, but I'm sure the kids will want to acknowledge your birthday. I will too, if only in private," she smiled at him and then turned around and stretched. "Do you think we should get going soon, or do you want to give it another go?"

"I'm good right now, Woman. Maybe in the morning I'll get the feeling in my legs back."

"Alright, old man. Get dressed. I still need a shower and a soak in the tub or something tonight. This pregnancy thing is a real hormonal nightmare," she giggled as she walked around the end of the bed for the rest of her clothes.

He huffed but got off the bed and found his clothes. It didn't take him long to right himself to where he looked like a respectable person again. "Maybe I could join you in the bath?" he teased, giving Orihime a kiss.

"I will hold you to it."

A/N: Aw, they are so cute, aren't they? Also what do you think of the new worker? Thanks for reading!
