Nel was sleeping when her alarm went off. She groans and reaches over and shuts it off. Her body was all achy and she could feel bruises forming on her legs. 'What the hell…' She sat up and rubbed her head. Looking around her room it was a mess like a tornado went through. There were clothes everywhere, books thrown around, her dresser was knocked over, the bathroom door was hanging off its hooks. "What the heck happened here!?" She looked down to see her naked body. "I'm naked?" She was covered in hicky's, bite marks, scratches, and bruises. "What did I get myself into." She looked on her small dresser with a lamp on it. There was an empty bottle of Hennessy. She grabbed the bottle. "Ugh. Did I really drink this? No wonder why I can't remember anything." She looked beside her to see someone was under the blanket. She sighs. "Who did I come home with this time." She taps the bundle. "Hey, can you get up?" When tapping didn't work, she shook it. "Hey! Wake up!" She yelled. She heard a low groan. "Would you shut up already…" Nel frowned and grabbed the blanket. "No, how about you get your ass up!" She pulled back the blanket and her eyes widen while her heart sunk. The person sits up rubbing his head. "Look chick I…" He turns to her and his expression was the same.
"Nel!?" "Nnoitra!?" They both looked at each other in shock and then looked down at their naked bodies. "No…No, no, no, no, no!" Nel says grabbing her hair. "How the hell did this happen! It's bad enough to have a one-night stand but to have one with you is the worst!" Nnoitra frowned. "Hey, I ain't to happy about this either! How the fuck did I get here? Where are my clothes?" He looked around and sighs out. "Whatever…" He lays back down. "Wha…No! This is not a 'whatever' moment! Get out of my bed and my house and never speak about this again!" Nnoitra yawns. "Look today is my day off woman. At least I woke up in a somewhat hot chicks' bed today." He turns over and goes to sleep. Nel's face turned red with anger and embarrassment. There was a bang on the door. "Mama…" Nel sighs out and looks around the destroyed room to find some clothes. She grabbed her robe that was hanging from the window. "How the heck did this get up here." She heard sniffing at the door. "Mommy…"
Nel quickly opens the door but not to wide for Grayson to see. She looked down at him. He was wearing a blue beetle jumper and holding a blue beetle plushie. He was in tears. "Oh sweetie. What's wrong?" She picked him up and then noticed that there was a blanket and a pillow outside the door. She frowned. "Did you…Did you sleep in front of the door last night?" Grayson bursts into tears and hugged her. "Oh no…I'm so sorry hunny." "Will you shut that kid up!?" Nnoitra says sitting up. Nel turns around slowly to him and gives him a very cold and deadly look. It sent chills running down Nnoitra and it activated something down in his lower house. Without saying a word Nel walked out and slammed the door behind her. Nnoitra sighs out and looks down at his newly formed hard on. "Damn…she's still just as sexy…"
It was October 31st and Jess was at work dressed as Spider Gwen one of her favorite superhero's. Today was her birthday. Early that morning Oichi had surprised her with an amazing morning breakfast, a cake, and all her gifts. It ranged from outfits to collector items to house items and more. She also got a call from Ulquiorra who was taking her out as well. She had her to go bag in the car incases she stayed over, which she knew she would. Oichi and Grimmjow were going trick or treating with Grayson tonight so at least she wouldn't have to worry about being alone tonight. She giggled in her outfit as she placed her tray down. Her picture was taken here and there due to her outfit. Izzy and the other co workers had also surprised her with Harley Quinn cake and a birthday card sighed from all of them.
On the 27th of the month Tatsuki had her son Noah. He had black hair and eyes and looked like a mini clone of Uryu. Chad had turned in his papers to adopt his new daughter, Isabella, but they would have to wait until November to see her since he had to leave too Vegas train for a new match. Grimmjow had finally accepted his fate and started to work with Dante. As Oichi stated all he had to do was keep tabs on most of Dante's work. It sucked but the pay out was legit. Every now and then Dante had to come over to the house and they would go into a room to speak about certain things. He also had to leave every now and then to pick up items for Dante. They weren't anything illegal in fact, Dante kept him up to speed on everything he was going to get. If Aizen had did this then maybe, he wouldn't have been so strict with his own job. All he ever asked was to know what he would be shipping and delivering. For now, he had no complaints. Oichi was going on four months now, she had been promoted to the head of the Division 9. Despite some thoughts of being pregnant, the head of the 1st division over looked that. He didn't have an issue with her taking the spot so long as she didn't slack off in her work.
Now, Oichi and Grimmjow were home alone in bed. Oichi was out cold and Grimmjow was up looking up baby names. Since they didn't know the gender yet, he had been looking for both gender names. So far, the name he came up for a girl was Naomi and for a boy Ayden. He wrote the names in a small notebook, hidden from Oichi for now. He looked at the time it was going on noon. Nel would be here at 3 to drop Grayson off. Jess would be going with Ulquiorra so that give them a few more hours to be alone. He closed the book and lays it on the dresser. He gets under the cover and wraps his arms around Oichi. He kisses her neck and pushes his body close to her, rubbing her stomach. Oichi mumbled something out. "Come on babe. I'd like another round before Grayson gets here." He nibbles on her cheek. "Mmm…ok…" She says still in her sleep. Grimmjow chuckled. "Thanks for the lame permission."
Just then her phone started to ring. Grimmjow sighs. "Of course…" Oichi chuckles and opens one eye. She reaches over and grabs the phone and answers. "Hello?" The first thing she heard was Grayson crying. That woke her up fully. She pushed Grimmjow off and sat up. "Hello!? Nel? Gray!? Is everything okay?" Grimmjow frowned at her tone of voice. "Hey Oichi, I'm sorry but do you think you can come get Grayson?" "Nel!? What is going on? Why is he crying?" "It's hard to explain so can you please come over here please?" Oichi hangs up the phone and slams it down on the dresser. "What happened?" "I don't know. Grayson is blowing a freaking gasket over there and Nel wants me to come get him. Grayson doesn't cry like that unless something happened." She says holding in her anger. She gets up and starts grabbing clothes. Grimmjow gets up and slips on some boxers, gray slackers, and a sweater. He walks over and helps Oichi put her panties on and grabbed a sweater dress and her flats. "Come on, let's go." Oichi nodded as he took his hand and walked downstairs. "What do you think happened?" Oichi asked as they walked down the stairs. "Who knows. Nel might can't calm him down, he might be sick, he might have heard something he didn't want to hear and got scared. There is a number of things." Oichi squeezed his hand. "She wouldn't let that happened, would she? She'd know if he is sick and its not like she hasn't dealt with his temper tantrums before." "Calm down. We will just go over there and see what's happening. Nel does deal with Grayson daily and we all know she could have cracked, and she needs a break from him." Oichi sighs. "I guess…"
Grimmjow grabbed her coat and helped her put it on. Grabbing the car keys, they left the house and drove on to Nel's place. Reaching there, they went upstairs using the elevator. Getting out they saw people leaning out their doors frowning. They could hear Grayson crying very loudly. Grimmjow frowned at the people. "Don't you fuckers have better things to do!" He yelled. They jumped from his sudden loudness and some retreated into their rooms. Oichi and Grimmjow walked up to the door and knocked on it. It quickly unlocked, and they went inside shutting it behind them. Nel was bouncing Grayson who was still crying. Nnoitra was sitting at the counter in a pair of pants. Grimmjow and Oichi stopped in their tracks when they saw him. "What are you doing here?" Oichi asked. Nnoitra chuckled and looked at her belly. "I see your getting pretty big there." Grimmjow frowned and pushed Oichi along to Nel.
"Oichi…" Nel says. Oichi rubbed Grayson on his back. "Gray." Grayson turned his head to her. His face was turning red from all the crying. "Come here hun." She says reaching out to him. Grayson reached out for her and Nel handed him to her. Grayson starts crying all over again into Oichi's shoulder. "Shush…It's okay." She rubs his back and bounces him. She then headed to his room. Nel sighs out. "I'm such a terrible mother…" Grimmjow crossed his arms. "So, what the hell happened." Nel rubbed her head. Nnoitra rolled his eyes. Grimmjow ignored Nnoitra for the moment and walked up to Nel but before he said anything his eyes glanced to her room. He made a B turn to it and stopped at the door to see a baby blanket and pillow at the door. He narrowed his eyes and walked into her room. He looked around the room to see it destroyed. The smell of sex and liquor hit his nose. Shaking his head, he backed out and closed the door. Picking up the blanket and the pillow and brought it to Nel. "He heard everything didn't he…" Nel tears up a bit and puts her head down. "You have got to be shitting me Nel." Nnoitra sighs. "Big deal. So, the brat heard everything. He should have just run away." Grimmjow grits his teeth, walked up to Nnoitra, raised his fist and slammed it into his face. "What the fuck!?" Nnoitra says holding his jaw.
Grimmjow grabbed him by the collar and slammed him into the counter. "Don't you say another thing, or I will rip your head off." He shoved Nnoitra back into his seat. Nnoitra grumbled "Your lucky I'm not in a killing mood" and rubbed his cheek. Grimmjow looked back at Nel. "Grimmjow…I'm sorry…I don't even remember what happened. I went out with some friends, had a babysitter for Grayson so I wouldn't bother you guys and this morning…nothing. I woke up with this bastard in my bed." Grimmjow was angry but he had a calm look on his face. It was what scared Nel the most. He was unpredictable with a face like that. "You have been calling me an unfit father since the day Grayson was born. While I admit that I was never there for him I did my damn near best to make sure you and him, didn't go without. When you forced him on me, I refused to bring my work and the people I work with around him. If I was going clubbing or fucking some random thot, I would cancel all of my plans for him." He walked slowly to her. "Yet, you leave him here, come back with a man who could give two shits about him, fuck him and allow MY son to heard what went on in that room?" Nel backed up to the wall. Grimmjow reached out and slammed his fist into the wall, making her jump. "Have you lost your damn mind!?" Nel bit her lip. "It was a mistake on my part…I'm sorry…I swear I…I didn't even hear him at the door. I didn't know he was sleeping right there. I…It's just…"
Oichi walked out with a sleeping Grayson over her shoulder. She had a small bag in her hand. She stopped to see that Grimmjow had Nel backed up to the wall. She had heard everything since the walls were very thin. "Grimmjow stop that." Grimmjow snitched his teeth and backed away from Nel. Oichi walked to Nel. "I got him to sleep. Since he is staying over tonight, I packed his costume and some extra clothes if that was okay." Nel nodded. "Oichi. I'm sorry…" Oichi smiled. "No need to be story. It happens. I remember walking in on my mom and dad one time and it was quite a sight. I felt like my brain was going to melt. Next time though try to be more careful." Nel nodded. "Also, I want you to know that you are never bothering us. If you want to go out, you can bring Grayson over at anytime okay? You don't have to raise him alone like you had been doing. I'm here for you and Grimmjow is here as well. Don't put everything on yourself." Nel nodded and hugged her. "Thanks, Oichi…" She rubs Grayson on his back, making him stir in his sleep. "Mama will make it up to you when you come back." She whispers.
Grimmjow glares at Nnoitra as Oichi walked by. Nnoitra chuckles as they left. When the door was closed Nnoitra saw a foot coming straight at his face. It connects to him and he was sent flying into the wall, making a body print. He falls to the ground and coughed out. "What…are you doing…" He looked up to see Nel wearing a cold and blank expression. She lifted her foot and slammed it on his head. "The next time you disrespect my son, I'll end your life. You hear me?" She says in a calm voice. She put pressure on his head, forcing the floor to crack a little. "It may have been some years but don't think I have gone soft. When it comes to my son I will gladly kill again. Now get your shit and get out of my house." She lifted her foot off his head and walked off to Grayson's room. Nnoitra breathes out heavily and rubs his bruised head. He could once again feel the hard on in his pants. He chuckles and licks his lips.
The day rolls on and Oichi was in the kitchen cooking lunch. They were going to go trick or treating around 6pm. Usually some younger kids would go early, and the older kids would go out later. In the living room, Grimmjow was sitting on the floor with Grayson in his lap. They were watching young justice. Grayson was quiet all day. Oichi was a little worried about him but Grimmjow assured her that he would be okay once they get ready to go out. She sighs as she made cute Halloween sandwiches for Grayson. They were in the shape of ghosts, a skull, and pumpkins. 'He must have been so scared when he heard Nel and Nnoitra…I know that when I saw mama and papa I though she was trying to kill him.' She shook her head. 'Poor Grayson…'
There was knock on the door. Oichi grabbed a towel and whipped her hands. "I got it." She says. She walked up to the door and opened it. She was nearly tackled into a hug. "Oichi!" Grimmjow jumped from the loud voice. He got up and rushed to the door to see Oichi's face snuggled tightly in a pair of large boobs. He frowned. "What the…" Oichi frailed and pulled away from the woman. She gasped out for air and fell back. Grimmjow caught her before she hit the ground. Grimmjow glared at the woman who just smiled. She had tan skin, short black hair, red eyes, and was wearing a black sweater with black skinny jeans and high heels.
"Hi Sweetheart!" Oichi was helped up by Grimmjow. "Hi mama…" Grimmjow raised his eyebrow. "This is your mom?" Oichi nodded. "Yup…careful. Her breast are register as lethal weapons…Mama. This is my boyfriend Grimmjow." "Hello! I'm Danni! I know all about you Grimmjow. You have a way with your hands from what I've seen." Grimmjow frowned. Danni walked in and closed the door behind her. "Hmm…nice place you got here. I see your father has been busy." Oichi nodded. Danni smiled and looked at her tummy. "Aw! My grandchildren are growing!" She rubbed Oichi's stomach. "I'm so excited! Have you learned of the genders yet?" Oichi shook her head. "No, we are having a gender reveal party and if anyone wants to bring a gift, they can bring neutral colors." Danni smiled. "Is Jess throwing it?" Oichi nodded. "That's good. Where is she?" "At work, then she and her boyfriend are going out for her birthday."
"Auntie…" They looked over to see Grayson peaking from behind the wall. Danni smiled. "Aw, who is this bundle of cuteness?" "That's Grimmjow's son. Grayson." Danni's smiled widen. "So technically this is my grandson!" She went to him and bends down. "Hi little man. I'm your grandma Danni." "Gran…" "Or nana or lolly. They are all cute." "Lolly?" Grimmjow asks. "Well I'm sure he has meet that dirtbag Dante and calls him pop or pop pop so he can call me Lolly like Lollypop." "Lolly…" Grayson says. Danni smiles and rubs his head. "Lolly it is then. Can Lolly hold you?" Grayson nods. Danni chuckles and picks him and snuggles him. "He is so adorable! I just want to eat him up." Grayson giggles. She turns to Grimmjow. "I would have thought he would be loud kinda like you." Oichi rubbed her head. "Well…some things happened today, and I don't think he understands what happened?" "Oh? What would that be?" "Mmm…remember the time I walked on you and papa when I was like 3?" Danni chuckled. "Yes, you thought I was trying to kill him. It was cute, but I think we nearly scared you to death." Oichi nodded. "Well instead of seeing Grayson heard it. He even slept in front of the door."
Danni frowned. "I see. Well he must have been trying to get in to protect his mother. Why didn't she open the door?" Grimmjow rolled his eyes. "Drunk off her ass." Danni shook her head. "I see. Well he will get over it soon enough." She rubs his back. "Anyways, I came her to see how you were doing and I see that you are doing well." She looked at Grimmjow. "I'm glad you are taking very good care of her. I hope you keep up the good work." Grimmjow wrapped his arm around Oichi. "I plan to." Danni chuckled. "You stood up to Dante so really there is no reason for me to threaten you right now. I can tell that your different from Renji but none the less as long as Oichi is happy I am happy." Oichi smiles. "Thanks mama." "Of course, sweetheart, by the way I need your sisters address. Now that I meet Grimmjow I need to go meet this Hisagi man. He is nice yes?" Oichi nodded. "Yeah, he is a gentleman to Flo." Danni smiled. "That's good. I'm gonna go threaten him haha." She puts Grayson down and rubs his head. "Bye Bye Grayson. Have fun tonight okay?" "Bye bye." Grayson says waving. Danni got up and hugged Oichi. "I'll be by again some other time to check on you." She held out her hand to Grimmjow. "Well Grimmjow, welcome to the family. Don't try nothing funny okay?" Grimmjow grabbed her hand and shakes it. "Also, if you don't want to work for Dante let me know. The military can do wonders for you. We may need a man of your skills you know." Grimmjow frowned. "As good as that may be, I don't think I'd be able to handle being away from Oichi and my kids for years on." Danni smiled. "How cute but, if you changed your mind let me know okay?" Grimmjow nodded. Danni kissed Oichi on the forehead and left as quickly as she came.
Grimmjow rubs his head. "So, your mom, dad, sisters, and best friend…anyone else I need to meet?" "My grandparents, Terry, and my older brother if he ever shows his face." Grimmjow sighs. "You got a lot of family." Oichi hugs his arm. "Wrong. My family is your family now, so we have a big family." Grimmjow chuckled and kissed his forehead. Grayson walked up and hugged Oichi's leg. "Me to?" Oichi smiles and picks him up. She kissed his cheek. "You to Gray. Wanna eat some food?" Grayson nodded. "Yay! Then we can get you into your costume." "Yay!" Grayson says. Oichi snuggles him and walks into the kitchen with Grimmjow behind her.
Around 5:30, Grimmjow was fixing Grayson's costume. He was wearing a blue beetle costume with flap out wings and a hand cannon. Grimmjow had brought it for him. Grayson had gone back to his excited self and was trying to bounce around. "Beetle!" He yells. Oichi giggled and took pictures of him to send to Nel. She was still feeling bad about what happened that morning. The door bell rings out. Grimmjow frowns. "We have a door bell?" Oichi nodded. "Yeah, but since we are in the living room 24/7 I just tell everyone to knock." She went to the door and opened it to find Ikkaku and Yumichika standing there. "Oh, no wonder. Hello there." Oichi says. Ikkaku looked at her stomach. "Hmmf…congratulations." Oichi smiles. "Thank you, so what can I do for you?" "Auntie Oichi!" She looked down to see Emma in a blue butterfly costume, blue swills painted on her face with glitter, an antennae headband, black leggings, and black flats. "Hi Emma! You look so cute!" Emma giggled. "I come with auntie Oichi!" She holds up her butter fly basket. Oichi looked at Ikkaku. "Well…if you don't mind…" He held up a bag. "Me and Mizuho thought maybe you could…Look I didn't mean to spring this up on you like this but…" "You and Mizuho want some alone time." She took the bag. "I got it Ikkaku haha. I'll be happy to look after Emma tonight." Emma giggled and skipped in. "I'll take a bunch of pictures and send it to you guys tomorrow." Ikkaku nods. "Thanks, Oichi, I owe you a bunch." Yumichika waved. "Have a good night with her Oichi. She likes to watch young Justice. I heard there is a marathon on tonight." Oichi nods. "I know. Grayson loves the show. What does she eat other then rice balls?" "Pudding, hamburgers, rice balls, green beans, and anything simple really. She's like Ikkaku every way." Ikkaku blushed a bit. "Thanks again." Oichi waved at them as they left.
She closed the door to see Emma and Grayson running around Grimmjow. "Oichi who's kid are we stealing now?" "Emma. Ikkaku's daughter. She's going to have a sleep over with Grayson." "Sleepover!" Emma yells. "Over!" Grayson yells. They run around Grimmjow again. There was another knock on the door. "Now who can that be." Oichi opens the door and see Rukia and Renji who was holding Ichika. She was wearing a princess costume. "Hello!" Rukia says. "Hi Rukia. What are you two doing here?" Rukia smiles. "I was hoping to take the kids trick or treating with you." Grimmjow frowned. Oichi rubbed her head. "I guess so." Rukia smiled. "Thank you and also…" She looked at Renji who sighed. He put Ichika on her feet. She clung to her leg and then spotted Oichi. She smiled and reached out for Oichi. She takes one tiny step and then another one. "Ahh!" She holds her hands out for Oichi. Oichi smiles and takes a little step closer so Ichika can reach her quicker. When she did, she took hold of Oichi's leg. "Good job! You look like your getting use to walking." Rukia smiled. "She just started a few weeks ago with my brother. She walks around his office all day and tire herself out and then she's up and at it again. Ichika turns her head and sees Grimmjow. "Daaa!" Grimmjow chuckles. "Hey there dumpling." Renji frowned. "Would you please stop calling my daughter dumpling. That really gets under my skin." Grimmjow rolled his eyes. "Tough shit. She likes the name. Isn't that right Dumpling." Ichika giggles and screams out happily. "See." Emma walked over to Ichika. "Hi!" Ichika smiles. "Hi!" Grayson head snapped to her and he ran over to her. "Hi! Hi baby!" He says excitedly. "Hi!" Ichika yells out. Oichi giggles. "She's mastered another word. Emma took Ichika's hand. "Gray take hand." Grayson grabs Ichika's other hand. All three of them walked over to Grimmjow slowly.
Grimmjow bends down and holds his hands out. Grayson and Emma let Ichika go as she picks up speed and goes right into Grimmjow's hands. Renji bit his lip. 'Why the hell is she so freaking happy to see him more then me!' "Good job dumpling." Grimmjow says rubbing her head. Oichi let Rukia and Renji in and closed the door. She sighs out a tiredly and goes sit down on the couch. "You okay babe?" Grimmjow says as all the kids hang off him. "Yeah, standing up is taking a lot out of me." Rukia smiled. "Carrying twins takes up more energy. It does be that way." Oichi rubbed her stomach. "Have they started moving yet?" Oichi nodded. "Just a little when it's time to eat. They aren't very active I guess I should be happy for that?" "Ichika moved around a lot in my stomach but there were moments where she wouldn't move at all for days."
The door bell rings out. "For fucks sake…who is at the door now." Grimmjow says. "Watch your mouth around my daughter." Renji says. "Fuck you." Grimmjow says. Emma and Grayson pats Grimmjow. "Bad word!" They say together. Grimmjow sighs out. "Yeah, yeah…" He gets up with Ichika in his arms and walks to the door. He opens it to see Chad. He raised his eyebrow. "I thought you were going to be in Vegas?" "The match was canceled so I came back home." Grimmjow looked in his arms to see a child. She had light brown skin, brown hair and blue eyes. She wasn't wearing a costume. "I guess this is your new kid?" Chad nodded. "Yes, is Oichi home?" Grimmjow nodded and let him in.
Chad walked into the living room. "Chad! I didn't know you were home?" Chad nodded and walked to Oichi. "Oichi I need your help." Oichi looked at him and then the little girl. "This must be Isabella. She's so cute!" Isabella blushed a bit and looked away. "I didn't have time to get a costume for her. Do you have anything to help?" "Can you help me up?" She held her hand out. He grabbed her and pulled her up gently. "Come with me. I'm sure I can put something together for her. Chad nodded and followed her upstairs.
In her office Oichi pulled out different outfits. Chad put Isabella down while Oichi set up a few outfits. "Here we go. These are the few that I have right now." Chad and Isabella walked up to the table. Her eyes widen and saw a lady bug outfit, a monkey, a prince, and a mini mouse. She pointed to the prince outfit. "That one." She says softly. Oichi smiles. "Okay. Let's get this on you. Do you want me to help you put it on?" She nodded. "Come on let's go the changing room. Isabella followed after Oichi. Within a few seconds Oichi had quickly changed her into her costume. Isabella walked out in a white and blue, gold rimmed jacket and blue slacks with shoes. Oichi picked up a crown that had a headband connected to it so it would fall off and placed it on her head. "Here you go. A cute basket of your own." She handed her a basket that had the same colors as her outfit. Isabella smiled. "Thank you." She ran to Chad. "I pretty?" Chad smiles and nodded. "Yes, you are." Isabella giggled. "I like it."
Walking back downstairs. Grimmjow and the others were ready to go out. Isabella was smiling as she joins the others. Emma smiled. "Hi! I'm Emma!" She points to Grayson. "That's Gray." She points to Ichika. "That's baby." Rukia smiles. "It's Ichika hunny." Emma ignores her. "That's Auntie Oichi!" She says pointing to Oichi. "That's Uncle Grimmy." She says pointing to Grimmjow. "I'm Emma!" She says proudly. Oichi laughed. "She's Ikkaku's daughter alright. Isabella blushed. "Isabella…my name…" Emma smiled. "Bella! Hi!" She walks up to her and grabbed her hand. "We are friends!" Isabella's eyes widen. "O-Okay…"
"Alright kido's everyone ready?" Grimmjow says. "Yes!" Everyone but Ichika says. Oichi smiles until she felt a dizzy spell coming. She fell forward but was caught by Chad. "Auntie!?" Grayson says. Grimmjow frowned and rushed to her. Chad helped her up. "Thanks…" Oichi says rubbing her head. Grimmjow rubbed her cheek. "You good babe?" Oichi nodded. "Drained…but I'll get through." "No, your staying home." Oichi frowned. "I don't want to. I want to go with you and the kids. I missed the last trick or treat I don't want to miss this one either." "There will be more for you to go to but right now your health and wellbeing are more important." Oichi tears up. "I want to go…" Grimmjow whips her tears away. "Those tears aren't going to work on me right now. Your staying home and that's it." Oichi bit her lip. Rukia walks up to them. "I'll stay with you Oichi…" Oichi looks at her. "I might not make good company but, at least you won't be by yourself."
Oichi sighs. "Fine…" Grimmjow kissed her forehead. "Thank you. We will be back soon okay? Have some snacks waiting for us when we get back?" Oichi nodded. She felt someone hug her leg. She looked down to see Grayson. "Auntie okay? Baby okay?" Oichi smiles softly. "Yes, we are fine. Go have fun with your dad okay?" Grayson nods. Oichi watched them all pile out the door and left. It was only her and Rukia now. Oichi sniffs. She really wanted to go with the kids. Rukia rubbed her back. "Come on Oichi, lets go make them something good to eat. It will distract the kids from eating all their candies." Oichi nodded and followed her into the kitchen.
Ichigo and Orihime were home with Kazui. He was sleeping peacefully in Ichigo's arms. Orihime was at the door giving candy out to the kids. She came back and sighs out. Her stomach was still big from her pregnancy but she and Tatsuki went out to the gym with Oichi and they were slowly losing their weight. "Ichigo? I'm still fat…" Ichigo chuckled. "It's baby weight Orihime. Beside you aren't that big. You have been losing a lot of weight at the gym." Orihime poked her stomach. "Yeah, but don't you find this unattractive?" "Why would I find the woman I love unattractive just because she gained some weight?" Orihime blushed. "Well…I'm not slim anymore." "Your point? Look bottom line you are still beautiful in my eyes." He placed his hand over hers. "Don't think anything differently okay?" Orihime smiled and scoots close to him. She looks down at Kazui. "He looks so cute when he is sleeping. He doesn't cry as much as I thought he would." Ichigo puts his head on hers. "Let's be thankful for that. I don't think I could handle a baby like Grayson." Orihime smiles. "So…would you consider having another one?" Ichigo blushed and rubbed his head. "Yeah, I thought that was a given but let's see how we do with Kazui first."
The evening went on and it was around 8pm when Grimmjow and the kids got back. Oichi was in the living room setting up a mat for them to eat on and to watch TV. Rukia was in the kitchen finishing the food. Having Rukia with her did make things a little easier. They didn't talk much but it wasn't awkward like it use to be. Grayson, Emma, and Isabella ran around the couch. "Auntie look!" Emma says as they all held out their baskets. "Wow! Look at all of that candy! You guys much have stolen a lot of candy huh." Emma giggled. "Nice people." Grayson digs in his basket. "I eat now!" Oichi shakes her head. "No not yet. You can eat one piece but first you have to eat some actual food." Grayson pouted. "No! I eat!" Oichi frowned and placed her hands on her hips. "Don't you say no to me Grayson. I will take that candy away from you and you will have none. Understand?" She said with a stern tone. Grayson looks down. "Okay…me sorry…" Oichi smiles. "Good boy. Now all of you pick out a candy and go sit down." The kids did what they were asked and went to go sit on the mat. Oichi placed the candy on the back table in the living room. Grimmjow chuckled. "You're really sexy when your all in charge you know." Oichi pouted at him. "Still mad at me?" He says. Oichi turned her head and walks into the kitchen. Grimmjow chuckles.
Chad sits down with Renji who was holding a sleepy Ichika. "So how does it feel to be a father?" Renji asked Chad." Chad rubs his head. "Strange I guess." Grimmjow shrugs. "You'll get use to it. Next thing you know your going to be wanting another one and another one. Baby fever. It doesn't only affect women you know." They looked at him. "So are you saying you and Oichi are going to have more?" "Of course, we are. I want at least seven or eight. Gotta leave something behind." Renji rolled his eyes. "Your saying that but you're just going to stress her out. Not only would she have to take care of her children, but she has to take care of a grown man who is jobless." Grimmjow glared at him. "For your information, you rat bastard, I do have a job and in fact, Oichi has yet to use her last two damn paychecks on anything." Renji frowned. "Is that right…well congratulation to you." "I believe that is what people call putting your foot in your mouth." Chad says. "Oh shut up…"
Oichi and Rukia walked out with dinner. For the kids it was chicken nuggets, sliced hotdogs shaped as ghost, and some juice. For the guys Oichi made pumpkin devil eggs and jack o lantern sandwich bites. "Wow you really did good on the food deco." Grimmjow says eating a egg. Oichi sat beside Grimmjow and turned to the young justice marathon. It caught the attention of the kids. "Still going to ignore me?" Oichi puffed her cheeks out. Grimmjow sighs and pulls out his phone. "Here, I took pictures for you and even sent them to Nel." Oichi glances down at the phone and spots the picture of the kids go to their first house. She then grabbed it and tears up. "I can't believe I missed another year…" Grimmjow slides closer to her and kisses her cheek. "I told you to not worry about it. You have more years of this to come by." He rubbed her belly. "When the twins get here you can dress them up and take them out and take as many pictures you want and so forth okay?" Oichi sniffed as she looked through the pictures.
Around 10pm, The kids were laying on the blanket half sleep still looking at TV. Rukia and Renji had left with a fussy Ichika who wanted to stay with Grimmjow. Chad was welcome to stay but he had to get things prepared for his next trip and make some changes to Isabella's room back at his place. He also wanted her to get close to Emma and Grayson as friends. Grayson yawns. "Sleepy…" "I guess it's time for bed." Oichi says turning the tv off. Emma and Isabella were laying beside each other already going to sleep. "Where is everyone sleeping?" Grimmjow says?" "Grayson's room. We can pull out a small air mat for them." Grimmjow nodded and got up. He held his hand out and helped her up. He then picked up Grayson and placed him in her arms and then he picked up Emma and Isabella. Oichi carefully walked up the stairs with Grimmjow following her.
In Grayson's room, Grimmjow was changing him into his paw patrol pjs. Oichi had took off Emma's costume and pulled out her fairy sleeping gown. As for Isabella, Oichi felt that it would be okay if she could use Emma's spare sleeping gown. It had a crown on it. While Oichi finished up with the girls Grimmjow opened the closet and pulled out the air mat. He blew it up with the silent battery power blower. "Blankets are up top." Oichi says. Grimmjow nodded and grabbed two blankets. One to place over the mat and one to cover the girls up. When the mat was blown up, Grimmjow fixed up the bed and took one of Grayson's long pillows and placed it on the mat. "Come on you two. It's bed time." Emma took Isabella's hand and with the help of Oichi they got on the mat and cuddled up together. "Aw so cute." She quickly took her phone and snapped a picture of it. Grimmjow pulled the blanket over them. He then walked over to Grayson who was already sleep. He picked him up and tucked him in.
"You are going to be a great dad." Oichi says smiling. Grimmjow smiles back at him. "I knew that already. Come on it's time for you bed time as well." He grabbed her hand and led her out the door. He turned on a night light and closed the door, leaving it opened slightly. Oichi and Grimmjow walked upstairs together and went to their room. Oichi sighs as she gets in the bed. "So comfy…" Grimmjow chuckles as he takes his shirt off. "You need help getting out your clothes?" Oichi nods. "Please?" "What do you want to wear tonight?" "Mmm…just a gown tonight." "No bra? Panties?" "You're just going to take it off me so why bother." Grimmjow smirked. "Your right about that. Gown it is." Once they were dressed for bed, Grimmjow turns the light off and slips into bed with her. "I wonder how Jess's day went. I hope she had fun on her birthday." Oichi says yawning. Grimmjow snuggles up close to her. "Who cares. She's Ulquiorra's problem now. Maybe we can actually live together without a third wheel." "You are so rude. I hope she smacks you into next week." Oichi says drifting off to sleep. Grimmjow kissed her head. "Yeah, yeah."
That next morning, Jess returned to the house glowing and wearing her spider Gwen jacket Ulquiorra had brought her. She had a wonderful birthday dinner with Ulquiorra and she spent another amazing night with him in his first home that had a hidden garden behind it. She couldn't stop smiling. She walked into the house to hear kids laughing and playing in the living room. This confused her a bit. She walked to the living room to see Oichi sitting on the couch drinking some tea while crocheting. Grimmjow on the other hand was on the floor playing with Emma, Grayson and a girl she's never seen before. "I'm home?" Jess says. Oichi looks at her. "Hey there Jess good morning. I see you had a great night." Jess flushed a bit. "Yeah something like that…who's the new kid?" "Oh, that's Isabella. Chad's daughter." "I thought Chad was in Vegas." "Fight got canceled so he came back." "Ah…" They watched as Emma played in Grimmjow's hair while Isabella and Grayson drew on him with washable markers. "Seems like he is the perfect play toy." Oichi giggled. "Yeah, it's cute. I can't wait to see how he is when the twins get here." Jess takes a seat on the couch beside Oichi and rubbed her belly. "How are the twins doing this morning." "They are fine so far. I can't wait to find out the genders, so we can pick proper names." She leans towards Jess and whispers. "Grimmjow has been picking out names for them and hiding them in a book. He thinks I don't know." The girls giggled. "I do admit he does have his cute features." Jess says. "So, I've been thinking that we should have the gender party in December. If people want to bring gifts, they should bring neutral colors." Oichi nods. "That works haha. For Christmas everyone could just bring me baby gifts." Jess smiles. "Yeah that would make a cute way to spend Christmas." Oichi rubbed her stomach. "My little angels are getting so much love and they aren't even here yet." Jess pokes her. "Of course, they are but if they share Grimmjow's blood calling them angels might oversell it." She says jokily. Grimmjow turned his head. "What was that you red headed bimbo?" Jess frowned. "Excuse me!?" "You heard me! My babies are going to get my best features which included my attractiveness, my amazing attitude, and my smarts." "You sound pretty confident in your gene but the only thing you gave Grayson was your temper and your hair color, everything else is his mothers." Jess says. Oichi chuckled. "She does have a point." Grimmjow rolled his eyes. "Whatever! I'll prove you both wrong in March when they get here." Oichi and Jess laughed together as he was tackled to the floor by the kids.
A few days later in November, Oichi was at a bookstore by herself looking for parenting books. Grimmjow was with her father for the day so she may not get to see him tonight. She was wearing a long sleeve purple maternity top, maternity blue jeans, and flats. Her hair was in a low ponytail with a strain in her face. She had her batman bag on her back. She walked to the back where the parenting aisle was. She rubbed her fingers on the books reading the titles on the side. "No…we read these before." She looked up to see a light blue book that said the whole child brain. She reached up there but she couldn't quite reach it. Frowning she looked around for help, but no one was near here. Sighing she stood on her tip toes and reached for the book. Her finger tips were touching the rim of the book, but she couldn't quite get it. "Come on you, stupid book…curse my shortness…" Just as she was about to give up, a hand reached over her and grabbed the book and handed it to her. She turned to look at the person who held her. "Oh! It's you!" She says with a smile. It was Starrk. He was wearing a long sleeve white shirt with a jacket over it, blue jeans and sunglasses on top of his head. "You remember me?" Oichi nodded. "Yeah of course I do. You were always sleeping during café meeting. Lilly use to kick your butt haha." Starrk rubbed his head. "Right." He looked down at her stomach. "So, it's true. You and Grimmjow are having children together?" Oichi nodded. "Yes, we are having twins this time around."
"Why Grimmjow?" He asks. "Huh?" "I mean, what makes Grimmjow so special that you chose him? You know what he did right? The type of work he was involved in?" Oichi smiles sweetly at him. Starrk eyes widen. "I'll just ignored why you randomly showed up and started asking me personal questions. Grimmjow has done a lot of bad things but he chooses to be with me and for that I am grateful and happy. Despite his hands being dirtied what matters to me is that we both can finally make a new future together." She pats her stomach gently. "Us and our twins Hee-hee." "I see…then what about Harribel and Ulquiorra?" Oichi hums out. "Harribel is really nice to me. We used to talk a lot at the bar I worked at. She looked after me and even after I left, we went out to lunch and became friends. She's like an awesome big sister! As for Ulquiorra…he still makes me a little uncomfortable but I'm dealing with that bit by bit. He is now dating my best friend and we all are discovering new sides about him every day. Now that I think about it its like we are becoming more like a family and it makes me excited to see what will happen in the future." "A family…even though they work for Aizen, did horrible things and what not?" Oichi shrugs. "A family is a family. No matter how screwy it is. You learn to leave it in the past and look forward." Starrk rubbed his head. "You are a very weird woman. I can't even count on my hands, people who would deal with people like us." Oichi giggles. "I don't mind being weird. That means I can be one of a kind." Starrk looked around. "Where is Grimmjow now?" "He is working with my dad." "I see…so your alone?" Oichi nodded. "Hmm…tell you want. If you treat me to lunch and let me take a nap at your house, I'll tag along with you to watch out for you and your kids." "Um…huh?" "I accept." He grabbed her arm. "I'm hungry for a burger. Let's go eat." "W-Wait a second I haven't paid for the book yet!" "Then leave it behind." "What!? No!? I want this book!" Starrk sighed. "So troublesome. Fine I'll buy the book, you buy the food. Deal? Deal." He says answering himself. Oichi was so confused and lost at how the conversation turned that she just went along with it.
In the evening time, Grimmjow was dropped off by one of Dante's associates. He saw Oichi car parked so that told him she was home. He walked in. "I'm ho…" He stopped to see Starrk sleeping on the couch. His eye twitched until he heard Oichi in the kitchen. He made his way quickly to her. Oichi was making beef stew tonight. "Babe…" Oichi turned around and smiled. "Welcome home Hun!" Grimmjow rubbed his head. "Thanks, but…what the hell is Starrk doing on our couch!?" Oichi pokes her cheek. "Well…funny story. He um…he brought me a book, I treated him to lunch, he helped me around the store today and now he's taking a nap." Grimmjow ran his hand down his face. "You have got to be shitting me. First Harribel now Starrk? You are attracting the wrong crowd. Oichi frowned. "How rude. If you have forgotten you were in the wrong crowd when I met, you." Grimmjow walked up to her. "That's besides the point. Starrk is the most dangerous one out of all of us. You can't have him here, it spells trouble."
"You think so?" Grimmjow tensed up as he heard yawning. He quickly turned around and stood in front of Oichi protectively. Starrk walked in the kitchen and stretched. "I only came for a nap, but I smell something good cooking." Oichi grabbed Grimmjow's arm and pulled him from in front of her. "I'm making beef stew. Would you like to taste?" Starrk nodded Oichi grabbed a hand bowl and poured a little of the broth in it. She handed it to Starrk. He took it and sniffs it, then blows it, then sips it down. "Mmm…it tastes great. Mine if I take a bowl to go?" Oichi smiles and nods. "Of course! You helped me out today, so you deserve a nice meal." Starrk smiles a little making Grimmjow hold his breath. Starrk never smiled in front of people. In fact, unless he had to, he never talked. He's always sleeping but because of his status no one really questions him. "Did you have a nice nap?" "Meh. You need more pillows. I think I'll bring my own next time." "I can make more pillows." "You make pillows?" "Its not very hard. I do clothes, pillows, blankets, dolls, and other things so long as I have the materials." "Wow your very talented then. You should make a lot of pillows for me when I come over next time. I like sleeping on mountains of soft pillows." Oichi laughs. "That's kinda cute but naps are very important, so I can understand that." "Yeah? See I wish Lilynette would understand. I think I'd to take a nap here once a week." "I don't mind that but be for warn children to come to the house to play so maybe you should go find a room of your liking?" Starrk rubbed his chin. "That sounds like a plan. Next time I'll pick out a napping room for myself." Grimmjow couldn't believe what he was hearing. He ran his fingers through his hair.
When the stew was done, Oichi made Starrk a to go bowl with some homemade muffins she made. Grimmjow was going to drive him back to the bookstore where his car was. "Be careful on your way home and your welcomed here anytime." Starrk waved at her and got into the car with Grimmjow. He pulled out and drove off. In the car ride, Starrk chuckled. "You got a nice woman there Grimmjow. Try not to fuck it up." "What the hell are you planning?" Grimmjow says. "hmm…I jut wanted to see what the fuss was about. Anyone who can take yours, Ulquiorra's, and Harribel's attention away had to be quite an interesting person and now I kind of see why. Though it seems like Ulquiorra has turned an eye to his new girlfriend. The kid might make it out of here like you did. That would be good." Grimmjow raised his eyebrow. "What do you mean by that?" "It's nothing. Just drive. I don't want my stew getting cold."
At the house, Oichi was on the phone with Nel telling her about everything. "Are you serious? Starrk was with you all day!?" "Yeah, I thought it would be weird, but he was really nice." "You need to be weary of him Oichi. He's like number one in that division. If he wanted too, he could kill someone with a sneeze." Oichi held back a chuckled. "Well Grimmjow took him back so anyways, are you coming over for dinner? I'm making beef stew." "Who's all coming over?" "Jess is bringing Ulquiorra, Harribel and her three followers and hopefully you and Grayson." "I see…" She cleared her throat. "Do you mind if I bring someone as well?" "Sure. So long as he remembers to be respectful in someone else house." Nel sighs. "I'll make sure he behaves just…just don't be to shocked okay and no judgements." "Oh please, when have I ever judged you." "True but its only your word I care about…" "I got it Nel, so come on over." "Alright. Thank you!" She hung up. Oichi shook her head as she finished up dinner.
When Grimmjow got back from dropping Starrk off he saw Jess car and behind it Ulquiorra's. He rolled his eyes. "So much for a night alone with my woman." He parks beside Jess and heads inside. A mouthwatering smell hit his nose. It looks like Oichi was adding something else to the menu. He sniffed. "BBQ beef pasta…" He says licking his lips. "Are you a dog now?" Grimmjow looked to see Ulquiorra sitting in the living room. "Well when your woman starts cooking for you then maybe you will understand what I'm doing better." He says walking to the kitchen. Oichi was humming as she stirred her pasta. "Seems like your going out." Grimmjow says holding her from behind. "Yeah, we are having more company. Seems like Nel is bring a guest with her and Harribel is coming to." Grimmjow sighs. "You never fail to amaze me with your big heart." Oichi giggled as he kissed her cheek. "Have you eaten today?" Oichi nodded. "Of course. Our twins don't like missed meals." She pointed over to the counter. "I also made bread buffalo chicken dip. Its my first time making it and it's supposed to be healthy for you." Grimmjow looked to see that two of the bread rolls were already missing and the dip was low. "Seems like someone already tried it."
Jess came downstairs. She was wearing a Harley Quinn shirt and black shorts. "I did! It was really good." She says licking her lips. She went to the living room and grabbed the plate she was using and sharing with Ulquiorra. "Oichi you should make more of this but use different sauces. You made BBQ pasta make the dip for this BBQ to." Oichi chuckled. "I've already thought about that but I'm out of bread." "Well tell Grimmjow to go get it." Grimmjow sighs. "Why the hell can't you go." "You're the man of the house as you usually say. Take care of your pregnant soon to be wife. If she wants bread go fetch her some damn bread!" "Please no fussing. Your going to give me a headache. I don't need bread since that was just a practice dish to tie us over under dinner was done." Jess sighs. "Fine." She takes two more pieces and dabs dips on them and take it back to Ulquiorra in the living room. "What you make for dessert?" Oichi pointed over to the counter. There was a pumpkin cheesecake trifle and a regular strawberry cheesecake side by side in a cake holder. "You are craving a lot of pumpkin stuff." "I know…I might make a pumpkin pie…but I don't have what I need." "Oichi you know if you need me to go to the store I'll go. I was just fussing with Jess because it pisses her off." "You sure?" Grimmjow nodded. "Just tell me what you need." Oichi smiled. "Thank you Grimmjow." She walked to the counter island and wrote some things down on notepad that she kept. She handed it to Grimmjow. "Please be safe and thank you again." Grimmjow kissed her forehead. "No need to thank me. I'll do anything you need me to do. Just don't overwork yourself in the kitchen." He rubbed her stomach. He suddenly felt something hit his hand. They both looked down. Grimmjow's eyes lit up as he felt another kick. "Hey, their kicking!" He says excitedly. Oichi laughed. "That's to cute." Grimmjow blushed and rubbed his face. "Well it's only right for a father to feel excited about their kid moving and all…" Oichi places her hand over his. "Yeah that is true." They shared a kiss. "Now off to the store please." Grimmjow nodded and quickly left.
It took a little over an hour for Grimmjow to get what Oichi needed. When he came back, he saw Nel's car and Harribel's car. He sighed as he parked. "Great…" He walked into the house and was greeted by Grayson who was waiting at the door for him. "Daddy home!" He hugged his leg. Grimmjow chuckled. "Let go so I can walk squirt." He walked in and frowned when he saw Nnoitra with a beer in his hand. "Yo, nice place you got here." Grimmjow glared slightly at him. "You can't be serious. What are you doing here?" "I'm with Nel dumbass. Didn't your woman already tell you that." "She said a guest, I didn't think it would be your pencil body ass." Jess who was snuggled up to Ulquiorra frowned. "There is a baby here can you tone down the swearing?" Nnoitra snitched his teeth. "Get your panties out your ass. That brat has heard way worse then this." Jess frowned at him. "You need to be more respectful in someone else's house" Nnoitra let out a dry laugh. "Who died and made you queen red head." Ulquiorra glanced at him. "Silence your tongue before I rip it out. Do not disrespect her." Nnoitra rolled his eyes. "Whatever." Jess smiled and leans on Ulquiorra's shoulder.
Grimmjow walked into the kitchen to see Oichi taking out plates with Nel and Harribel. "Nel you can't be fucking serious right now. Nnoitra? Really?" Nel sighs. "Back off Grimmjow. Its my choice and Oichi said it was okay." "I don't care. You can't have that maniac around Grayson. You know how he is!" "He tones it down around Grayson. Don't make a big deal about this." Grimmjow slammed his hands on the counter. "It is a BIG fucking deal!" He felt Grayson grab his pants legs. He looked down. "No be mad…" Grimmjow frowns and rubs his hand down his face. "This is fucking crazy…" He mumbled. Oichi walks to him holding a beer. "I know dear but, let's overlook that for now. Nel and Nnoitra are our guest tonight so let's not try to fight each other?" Grimmjow took the beer. "Fine…"
"Go sit down. I'll make your plate." Oichi smiles and kisses his cheek. Nel crossed her arms. "Grimmjow…I…" "I don't want to hear it Nel…" Grimmjow says dismissing her. He grabbed a plate and started fixing food for Oichi. "Me to daddy!" Grayson says. "Food!" Grimmjow got a small bowl for Grayson and put some pasta in the bowl with a spoon. "In the living room." He says. Grayson nodded and ran into the living. Grimmjow took the food and brought it to Oichi. Nnoitra had the remote and was finding a movie to watch. "Here." He says handing Oichi the plate. Grayson was sitting on the floor waiting for his bowl. "We need to get him a baby table, so he doesn't have to sit on the floor all the time. Oichi says.
Jess hums out. "That smells so good. Grimmjow are you going to fix me a plate to?" "Bug off. You got a man right there." He says sitting down beside Oichi. Jess frowned. "Ugh, you are the rudest man I have ever meet!" "He ain't wrong tho." Nnoitra says. "Asking another man to fix your food is pretty stupid if you asked me." "Can we not try to jump Jess here…" Oichi says eating. Jess gets up in a huff. "Fucking jerks…" She mumbles. Ulquiorra sighs and got up to go to the kitchen with her. Oichi shook her head. "Are you not eating?" Grimmjow shrugs. "I want to make sure you get your full first."
Harribel walked out with her plate and a cup of juice. "Oichi I brought your drink." "Thanks!" Oichi says smiling. Harribel sat on the other side of Oichi. "Where are the girls at?" Oichi asked. "Working. I told them that I will bring them some food, if there is any left." "There is enough. I made a lot." Nel came out with a plate for her and Nnoitra. "Thanks, sweet cheeks." He smacks her butt before she sits down. Grayson frowns at this. "No! No hit mama!" Grimmjow bites his lip. "See this is the type of crap I'm talking about. You can't do that in front of him!" Nel sighs and sits down. "I know Grimmjow." "You sure because I don't see you smack him through the fucking wall!?" Nnoitra bit into his food. "Hmm…not bad." Oichi smiles. "I'm glad you like it." Jess and Ulquiorra came back in and sat down. Jess took a bite of the stew and hums out. "So good! You did an amazing job sis." "Glad you like it Jess." Nnoitra finally found a movie. It was an action movie.
"What are you doing for Thanksgiving Oichi?" Harribel asked. "We are going over to the game house. It's big enough for everyone and so long as everyone brings a dish, we will have enough food." "The game house?" "Oh, its where my friend Momo, Kira, and Hisagi host parties and stuff. It's a big house that they all rent together." "I see. Do you mind if I tag along? Other than work I don't think I've ever been to a dinner as big as that." Oichi smiled. "Sure! The more the merrier." Harribel smiled which takes Nnoitra off guard. "What should I bring?" "What is your best dish?" Harribel takes a bite of her food. "Chicken pot pie." Oichi nods. "Ooo that sounds good. You should make mini pot pies! That way everyone can get at least one." Jess taps her chin. "I think I'll make a pot roast." She looks at Ulquiorra which made Nnoitra and Grimmjow snicker. "What's so funny?" Jess asks. Ulquiorra sighs. "I'm not a very good cook. It's not like I eat a lot anyways." Jess shakes her head. "That's a lie. You cook me breakfast every morning. Pancakes, waffles, eggs and so on." "Basic stuff. Something on the scale of Thanksgiving is not in my skill list." Jess smiles. "No biggie, we can make something together!" Ulquiorra looks down at her. "I'll still make my pot roast and we can find something that is easy for you to make." "Good luck with that." Nnoitra says laughing. Jess glared at him. "Well I don't see you nor Grimmjow cooking anything. Don't pick on my boyfriend!" Grimmjow rolled his eyes. "Don't drag my name down with Ulquiorra's and Nnoitra. I can actually cook, and you should know since your lazy ass make me cook every Monday, Thursday, and Sunday." Jess pouted. "Well someone has to cook since we work all day and stuff." "Why is it that you're the only person who complains about that? Oichi is pregnant and she does way more shit then you. Do you know how hard it is to get her to take a break and rest?" Grimmjow says. "Um…can we not talk about me while I'm right here?" Oichi says holding up her empty plate. "Refill please." Grimmjow took the plate. "For the dinner Grimmjow is going to be making honey roasted butternut squash with cranberries and feta." Oichi says rubbing her stomach. "It's super yummy, I can eat a bowl of it by myself even if I wasn't pregnant." They all looked at Nel and Nnoitra. "I'm making the desserts this year around. Pumpkin pie, strawberry shortcake, and banana pudding." All looks went to Nnoitra. "I ain't going so I don't have to cook." Oichi shrugs. "Have it your way but just incase you change your mind you aren't allow to get any food." "Why the hell not?" Nel rolls her eyes. "Everyone brings a dish, everyone eats. Simple logic. If you bring nothing you get nothing." Grimmjow walked back with another full plate and handed it to Oichi.
As the night went on dinner went well. They had a funny conversation about which was better cats or dogs. They watched one or two movies and when Grayson feel asleep, they watched a horror movie. It was a pretty good night. When it came to an end, Harribel took some to go bowls and took her leave. Nel also got her a to go bowl and made Nnoitra carrying them since Grimmjow refused to hand a sleeping Grayson over to him. Ulquiorra stayed the night, something he had recently started doing. Grimmjow made Oichi go upstairs and got her ready for bed. He then came back down to clean up the kitchen and to enjoy a few moments of peace.
The next morning, at Hueco Mundo, Harribel was called to Aizen's office. She was walking with Apacci, Rose, and Sung behind her. "I don't think this is going to go well Ma'am…" Rose says frowning. "Who knows what Aizen has planned for you. Remember what happened to Grimmjow? He might have you set up or something!?" Apacci says. "Do not worry…if the time has come for me to leave this company then so be it." The women looked at her in shock and worried. "Madam Harribel…if you were to leave the company then…" Harribel stopped. "I will not drag you down with me. You three have been working hard and well to earn your spots. If we play our cards right one of you three may take over after me." "No!" They yelled out. "This place is nothing without you Madam Harribel!" Rose says. "Yes, if it wasn't for you, we would still be on the streets doing nothing with our lives…" Sung says. "If you leave this company then dammit, we are coming to! Hell, if Grimmjow can live on without this place then so can we." Harribel looked at her followers and shook her head. "It is your choice…" She walked on. When they got to the office doors Harribel told them to stay back since it was only her that was summoned.
She walked into the office where Aizen was waiting. He was sitting at his desk with Gin on one side and Tosen on the other. He had his normal cool smile. "Good morning Harribel. So glad that you can finally join us." Harribel walked up to his desk and stopped. "Good morning sir. You called for me?" Aizen links his fingers together. "Yes, I did. I wanted to speak to you about your job performance." He leans back in his chair. "As the head of the 3rd division your job is to keep records of everything this company does and everything that has happened to assure that we don't do the same thing twice. Lately, I've noticed that you have been missing dates and not logging in the info. Also, you have been missing out on meetings that I deem to be quite important." Tosen took a step forward. "Now, usually this would call for a warning, but I think we are far beyond that. Our records are everything and if one is not careful then it may cause damage to not only the company but to ourselves as well. Missing dates, Logging info missing and changed, not showing up to even defend yourself at the meetings. This act of intolerance is grounded by a suspension, a fine, and even termination." Gin chuckled. "If you can give our boss here a good reason on why not to consider this then maybe he will change his mind. Much luck to you though."
Aizen had his eyes on Harribel. "Well now, what do you have to say for yourself?" Harribel looked at them all and sighs mentally. "I have nothing to say sir. While it is true that I have missed meetings, I do not freely leave my job. I made sure that I have everything done before I leave to do my personal duties outside this place. There has not been anything sent to me that has allowed me to learn of these facts you are telling me. So, I can only assume that someone with my own division is lying to me or…" Aizen raises his eyebrow. "Or…" "…Or your facts must be wrong." Tosen frowned. "Are you trying to tell us that our sources are wrong?" "It's just a suggestion sir, I'm only speaking from what I know. Everyday, I go over my work and my division usually bring everything to me before anything is logged it. If the issue is within my own, then I will get to the bottom of it and settle the issue myself. However, if I find nothing wrong then I can only come to the idea that someone may be feeding you false information."
There was silence in the room before Aizen chuckled. "Why have you been missing meetings?" "I have been doing a little bit of personal life searching sir." "Ho? Have you found by the side of your three lap dogs or by the woman named Oichi Yamamoto?" Harribel frowned. "Please sir, do not call my employee's lap dogs. They have done their fair share of work to earn their spots in my divisions. As for Oichi, she has nothing to do with this conversation." "Oh, but she does. You are aware that this woman is the reason why Grimmjow was removed from this company." "With all due respect sir, I don't think Oichi is the sole reason why he lost his job. Grimmjow decided that he no longer could do this job that may have brought trouble to his home or her. While I wish he would have thought of another way I sadly believe that the results would have ended in the same way anyways." "Yes, Grimmjow decided to not do his job for the sake of one woman. He had a very large part in this company and yet he dropped the ball all for her…" "Excuse me, but I prefer to stay on topic. What's going on in Grimmjow's life does not concern me." "Oh, but it does my dear Harribel. Now that you are associating with him and neglecting your duties, I fear that his influence is rubbing off on you." He stands up. "As the leader of this company I can not afford to have you slacking off and putting this company back into the danger zone, so I will give you two and only two options. Option one is that you stay here, employed with all of your wonderful female employee's, with all the money and fame you have gain for the past years provided you stay away from Grimmjow and Oichi Yamamoto." Harribel narrowed her eyes. "Or…Option two…you can continue to stay around them and get the same treatment Grimmjow had. Stripped of all your stats. It would be a shame if some certain info caught wind over in the center with your name all over it. Unlike Grimmjow I doubt you would have anyone behind you to help clear your name and I don't see you settling in prison. Who will look after all of your employees while you are gone? Think about them if not for yourself." Harribel closed her eyes. "I see…you truly think my small relationship with Oichi will hurt my division and your company. Is this mere woman really a threat to you or are you still stung by the fact that Grimmjow was able to make a life without your 'helping' hands."
Aizen chuckled and sat back down. "I'll give you a week to think about it. When you have your decision please let me know. You are dismissed." Harribel nodded and turned around and walked out closing the door behind her. Tosen sighed. "Aizen, I think it is time for us to go with plan B on this. If not, then…" Aizen leans on his elbow. "I know Tosen. Do not worry. Plan B is already in motion." He glanced over to Gin whose grin got widen. "Until then, bring me the folder of worthy candidates. One can never be to careful in a situation like this."
On November 9th, a day before Grayson's birthday it was decided to have the party early. Grayson's party was small and short like Nel wanted. It was about an hour or two party with everyone before they took their leave. Grayson had got a bunch of things from not only his guest but from Danni and Dante as well. Trying to out do each other they had went a bit overboard, not to Oichi's surprise. Dante got Grayson an entire new bed set, Blue Beetle theme, a bunch of toys, books, and even a little car that he can ride around outside. Danni got him a bike, some clothes, more toys, another small car, and a trampoline. If Grayson wasn't spoiled by Oichi back, then he was spoiled now.
On the 10th, Oichi was at work doing paperwork. She had a small fan in front of her. She was feeling very hot for the past few days. Her body felt weak and heavy and thanks to her weird sleeping schedule she barely got her regular 4 to 8 hours of sleep. She had a cold bottle on water on the desk and a few in a small fridge that Grimmjow brought her. In her office, Grayson was sitting his new playmat and playing on his new tablet. He was learning about his ABC and 123s. He was very good at them and learning at fast pace. His speech was getting better to for being a new two-year-old. Nel was already looking into some preschools to enroll him into when he comes of age. Oichi stopped and leans on her elbow. "Preschools…to be honest there aren't to many good ones out there. I was homeschooled before I went to middle school…Hmm…maybe I can do something about that." She wrote a note on her pad. She then sighs as she rubbed her head. She felt dizzy. Grayson looked up and frowned. "Auntie okay?" Oichi smiled at him. "Yes sweetheart. I'm okay." Grayson hums out but went back to his tablet.
Oichi rubbed her head and felt sweat running down her forehead. "Why is it getting hotter in here. This fan isn't going to cut it. I need to go turn the air up. I think Nel packed a blanket for Gray…" She gets up and her dizziness hits her hard. "Wha…" Her body flared up in intense heat and her vison went black. She fell to the floor, landing on her side. Grayson's head pops up. "Auntie!" He gets up and runs to her. "Auntie okay?" He touches her cheek and looked at it. It was wet from her sweat. Oichi was breathing heavily. "G-Grimm-jow…" She wheezes out. Grayson frowned. "I help!" He runs back to his tablet and picks it up. He then runs back to Oichi and sits beside her stomach. His tablet was connected to her phone and she had shown him many of times how to work it. He hit the green button that was contact list. When it pulled up there were four numbers in green that he was only allowed to call and those were Oichis, Nel's, Grimmjow, and Jess. Everything else was in red. "Red is no no!" He says as he hit Grimmjow's name.
The screen went black and a loud ringing noise rang out a few times but no on picked up. Grayson pouted. "Daddy no answer phone. Meanie head." He hit Nel's number, but it didn't pick up either. "Where is mama…meanie head to." He finally hits Jess's number. It rung twice before Jess picked up. "Hello? Gray are you calling me?" "Yes!" Jess chuckled. "Does Oichi know you playing in her phone again?" "Auntie on floor!" "What?" "She on floor! She wet!" Jess gasp. "W-Wet!? Wet where!?" Grayson looked at Oichi. "Wet?" "Oh my…okay um…crap…" Jess sighs out. "Grayson did you call your dad and your mom?" "Yes! No pick up! Meanie heads…" "Okay I'm on my way so try to call you dad okay? Keep trying until he picks up okay?" "Okay!" Jess hangs up quickly. Grayson smiles. "I help!" He hits Grimmjow's name and started to call over and over.
Moments later, Hisagi burst through the door in panic. "Oichi!?" Grayson looked up. "Auntie on floor!" He yelled out. Hisagi ran around the desk to see Oichi passed out and still breathing heavily. "Oichi!?" He bends down and rubs her forehead. "A fever?" He looks down at her skirt and sighs out. "A fever…" He carefully picks her up and carries her to the couch in her office. Grayson gets up and follows him until Grimmjow finally picked up. "Grayson! You better not be playing on Oichi's phone!" He yelled out. "Auntie on floor! She wet!" Grayson yells out. "What…Wait what!? On the floor? Wet?" Hisagi sighs out. "Grayson can I see that?" Grayson nods and holds it out. Hisagi takes the tablet. "Grimmjow." "Hisagi!? What the hell is going on!?" "It's Oichi. It looks like she passed out from a fever." "A fever!? Passed out!?" "Yeah, I'm making a call to the 4th division to get over here so they can look at her. Jess is on her way here, but you should come as well." "What did he mean by she was wet!? Are the twins…?" "No, No I think he just meant she was sweating a lot." Grimmjow sighs out. "Okay…I'll be there as soon as I can." He hangs up. "I help! Imma a good boy!" Grayson says smiling. Hisagi smiles and rubs Grayson's head. "Yes, you did very well. Now you can go back to playing. I'll take it from here." "Okay!" Grayson says taking his tablet and sitting back on the playmat.
Hours later, when Oichi finally woke up she was back home. She felt something soft and cool on her head and it made it sigh out. She looked around to see she was lying in bed. Her body still felt heavy. She tried to sit up when the door opened. Grimmjow walked in with a bowl of soup, a cup of tea, and some meds. When he tried to see her sit up, he made his way to her quickly. "Babe stop." Oichi looked at him as he put the tray down. "Grimmjow?" Grimmjow helped her sit up carefully. "How are you feeling?" Oichi sighs. "Tired…what happened?" "You had a high fever and passed out. Gray was able to get to Jess but he had everyone in quite a panic." "A panic?" Grimmjow handed her a cup of tea. "Yeah, he told Jess that you were on the floor and that you were wet. So of course," Oichi sighs. "Jess must have panic and thought the twins were coming earlier…" Grimmjow nodded. "Hisagi got to you and got you checked out." He pulled the blanket off her. She was wearing a night gown. He pulled the gown up and showed her the bruise on her side. Oichi's eyes widen. "When did that happen!?" "When you passed out, but the twins are okay. Startled but okay." Oichi sighs out and rubs her stomach. "I'm sorry…I didn't even realize I had a fever. My body has been changing so much it's hard to tell sometimes." Grimmjow kissed her forehead. "It's okay. Hisagi said you can take the rest of the week off to get better." He takes the rag that was on her forehead and dips it into a bowl of water. "Uryu gave me these meds for you. They won't affect the babies or anything, but they should help you sleep better at least so you won't be uncomfortable." Oichi smiles. "Your going to take care of me?" "What kind of question is that. I ain't leaving you here alone." "What about Grayson?" "Nel can take him to a damn daycare. You don't need to watch him every day and he shouldn't be stuck under you, me, or Nel. I don't want his only friends being girls either…" Oichi placed a hand on her belly. "Daycare…soon Gray is going to be going to preschool…" "Yeah. Here you should eat." He picks up the bowl of soup and hands to her. Oichi takes the bowl and sips it.
"You know…I was thinking along with my shop we should make a better school for the children around here." Grimmjow gets up and walks over to the other side of the bed. "Oh yeah? How are you going to do that when you can't find a spot for your shop?" Oichi pouted. "I'll find one soon but that's besides the point. I was always home schooled up until middle school, but I heard from Ichigo that they were okay. It could be better bit it was just okay…I want Gray and the other kids to have a great experience as they get older." She rolled her eyes. "The middle school was kind of crappy…and the high school was pretty decent. Standard stuff but it didn't motivate any of the teens to want to do something with their lives." Grimmjow sat on the bed. "Well this entire city could use a fucking makeover, but with those two prideful assholes the city will never be one." Oichi sips on her soup. "One step at a time, I guess. First my shop. I can't believe they won't approve over half…" "Babe." Oichi looked at Grimmjow. "Instead of focusing on work why don't you rest your brain right now. All you work won't be moving any time soon. It might be why you got a fever. Overworking yourself. Your shop will come to you in time so no need to force it." Oichi looked down in her soup. "I guess your right…"
There was a knock at the door, and it opened. Jess walked in with her hair in a low pony tail. She was wearing her standard night clothes. She smiled when she saw Oichi up. "Hey! Glad you are doing better." Oichi smiled back. "Yeah, thanks and sorry for worrying you. I'm also sorry about Gray." Jess chuckled. "It's fine sis. All that matters is that he was able to call for help. Two things. One, Ulquiorra is staying over for a while is that okay?" Oichi nodded. "Yeah, he is welcome to stay." Jess giggled. "Thank you and two, you have a visitor!" She stepped to the side and Harribel walked in.
"Harribel!? What a surprise." Oichi says smiling. "Thank you Jess." Jess nodded and walked out, closing the door behind her. Oichi sat her bowl down and grabbed her tea. "Good evening Oichi. Sorry for the random visit." Harribel says walking over. She took a seat in a chair that was next to the bed. "Nonsense, you are welcome here anytime." Harribel smiles slightly and sighed. "I'm here to speak to you about something that has been bothering me and I would like your thoughts on the matter." Grimmjow and Oichi looked at each other before looking back at her. "Okay."
For the next few minutes, Harribel was telling them about the meeting she had with Aizen which shocked her. She never has been very open so why was she telling Oichi about a private meeting that she had. Let alone a private meeting that involved her personally.
Grimmjow was frowning. "I was right. He does see Oichi as a problem…that fucker." He grips his pants leg. "If he touches one hair on her head, I'll snap his neck." Oichi grabbed his hand and smiled she then looked back at Harribel. "It's the same as Grimmjow huh. Speak to me and lose your job or cut me off and keep your job and you look out for most of the females there. It's a tough call." Harribel nodded. "I can't leave them there when those men do nothing but look at them like eye candy. I have taught most of them to stand up for themselves but there are some who don't have it in them to be strong like that." She bites her lips. "However, I truly cherish the friendship that we just started. I don't know what it is about you, but I find comfort in you when we speak or have lunch. Despite that we haven't been friends for a long time…I just enjoy being in your company. It's been a very long time since I could talk freely to someone and not feel like I have to mask my feelings." Oichi smiles. "It feels nice huh." She sips on her tea. "Hmm…Its really up to you. I can't tell you how to live your life. If you wish to stay at your job and care for the women there you are going to have to give up something and if you have to stop talking to me then so be it but, it doesn't mean we can't be friends. I'm sure we can find some time to spend together out the view of Aizen."
Oichi taps her cup. "Of course, though, as selfish as it may sound, if you wish you keep our friendship and risk losing your job you are welcome to stay here until you get off your feet." Harribel eyes widen at her. "Here?" Oichi nodded. "I'm sure that your boss is going to try to throw you in jail like he did Grimmjow but don't worry! My papa can help you out if I ask. All though I'm not sure what he will ask in return from you. Grimmjow has to work for him for the next 15 years." She pats his leg. "He's like papa's secretary." Grimmjow frowns. "Don't remind me." Oichi giggles and looks back at Harribel. "As for a job you can also come work for me when I open my shop! I need lots of employees and you would be perfect, and I haven't forgotten about your three loyal followers. I can find something for them as well if they choose to come with you."
Harribel could not believe what she was hearing. "You. You truly have a big heart Oichi. I can not even begin to express how to feel right now." Oichi chuckled but Grimmjow frowned. "Now hold the hell up. Are you really thinking about walking out on Aizen?" Harribel looked down. "I'm not sure yet. Its not like he isn't keeping his word about protecting my coworkers however, something doesn't feel right anymore. Ever since you left there has been some sort of…vibe that has been lingering in the air. I can't put my finger on it just yet but, I want to cover all my bases and have a back up plan incase something goes wrong." Grimmjow narrowed his eyes. "Don't try to take advantage of Oichi. She might be nice for no reason, but she has pretty powerful people behind her." "I realize that. As of right now I am working on a plan to help myself a little better and if I speak to the right people then I may not even have to go through the set back." Oichi smiles. "Okay then, I'll give you papa's number. If you what I am hearing is right, you have something info that will make him interested in your situation." Harribel nodded. "Yes." She got up. "I think giving me your father's number is too trusting so instead I will give the information to you Grimmjow." Grimmjow raised his eyebrow. "Why me?" "You are his secretary are you not. If anyone can get close to him and explain what is going on it would be you." Grimmjow twitched slightly and sighed in defeat. "Whatever. Just give me what you have. That's all I'm doing for you though and don't get the wrong idea. I'm not helping you because I want to or like you, I'm doing it since Oichi already accepted you into her weird group of friends." Oichi pouted. "How rude."
Once Harribel took her leave, Grimmjow crossed his arms and looked at Oichi who was getting ready for bed. "Oichi." She looked at him. "Are you sure you want to be sticking your nose in this?" "What do you mean?" Grimmjow looks down at her stomach. "Your messing with Aizen. Even if you aren't trying to. You got me, mine as well say you got Ulquiorra's lame ass thanks to Jess, and now Harribel. Out of us you got 3 out 10 of his top employee's that run a division. I don't want you risking your neck for people who wouldn't give a damn about you in the end." Oichi reached up and grabbed his shirt. She pulled on it until he uncrossed his arm. She grabbed his hand and links their fingers. "I understand. I'm scared to be honest." Grimmjow could feel her hands shaking. "If a man like can frame both of us and have you thrown in jail with a snap of a finger there is no telling what else he could do." Grimmjow placed his other hand over hers. "I can't just leave Harribel out to dry though. It really looks like she wants to leave that place. You said it yourself. Your job doesn't see loyalty. Only money, power, and fame but eventually that gets a little old and you end up losing your way unable to go back to the way things were. I feel that Harribel is trying to turn back before its to late. If she doesn't take this chance, then she may never leave the clutches of that man." She rubs her stomach and felt a kick. She giggled and placed Grimmjow's hand on her stomach. "They are moving around." Grimmjow smiled as he felt more kicks. "They are becoming more active night by night. They are going to be night owls I can tell." Oichi nods in agreement. "The gender reveal will be in December. I can't wait until we see them and give them some names. Have you thought of any?" Grimmjow lays down beside her with his hand still on her stomach. "I like the name Naomi for a girl and maybe Alisha. For boys…Ayden." Oichi smiled. "If we have a boy, I'd like to name on of them after papa." Grimmjow frowned. "Your going to use Dante's name…for our son?" "No silly. His middle name Damien. I've always loved that name despite it being the name of Batman's son haha." Grimmjow chuckled and kissed her cheek. "You Batman nut. Now you need to get some rest." Oichi nodded and slips back under the cover. Grimmjow watched her as she fell asleep.
The evening of Thanksgiving, Oichi's house was smelling quite good. Ulquiorra, with the help of Jess, had made cornbread and Creamy mash potatoes. Grimmjow couldn't fully believe it until he tasted it. He claimed it wasn't bad, but it still needed some seasoning. The cornbread was on point thought. It was fluffy when you bit into it and even Grimmjow had to admit that he did a fair job, with Jess's help. Jess kicked him out the kitchen after that comment and told him to start packing the car. Jess was wearing a red dress with red flats. Her hair was braided in her normal fashion and her make was done perfectly as always. Oichi, who was sitting on the couch was wearing a black and grey stripe Knit Maternity Cardigan with white leggings and shoes. Her hair was done to her shoulders and she had her purse sitting next to here. She was on the phone with Momo. She didn't like it but she found it that everyone but them were there. Oichi hated being late for anything but it took her forever to get dressed. She sighed as she grabbed a jar of pickles. She opened it and started to eat one. She was not allowed to life a finger until it was time to go. Ever since she passed out from her fever, Grimmjow had been extra protective of her. Because of the issues with her job Harribel wouldn't be able to make it which up set Oichi a little. She really wanted to taste that pot pie.
Ulquiorra walked in. He was wearing a long sleeve green sweater and black jeans and shoes. "Oichi." Oichi looked at him as he sat beside her. "Yes? Are you done cooking?" "A few more second on Jess's dish. I wish to ask you a question." "Okay." Ulquiorra looked at her stomach. Oichi could feel like he wanted to say something, but he was struggling to say it and in the end, it looked like he gave up on saying it. "I wish to apologize…" "Hmm?" Ulquiorra looked at her eye to eye. "…I'm not quite sure how to explain this and I know this is weird and when the time comes you may not even accept but I am truly sorry…" Oichi was confused. "Okay then…" Ulquiorra got up. "I have come quite attached to Jess in a way. More of a connection then I thought I would. I think I am finally starting to understand more about these strange feelings and understand why you would stay with a do-…a man like Grimmjow." He walked away after he said his piece. Oichi was lost but she shrugged it off for now. Since he was more around, she had grown accustom of Ulquiorra and his weirdness. Grimmjow walked in. He was wearing a dark blue shirt and gray pants and shoes. His necklace was hiding under the collar of his shirt. "Oi! Jess come on! I told you that you should have been cooking that shit early." Jess poked her head out the kitchen. "I know I know. Just a bit more. You can start gathering in the car.
"Other then your dish, everything is packed already." Grimmjow says walking to Oichi. "Hey babe. Time to get up." "Finally! You won't let me work, you won't let me help, I'm losing my freaking mind here!" Oichi snaps. Grimmjow chuckles and helps her up. "Your so cute when you snap at me." Oichi sighs. "Whatever, can we just go please!? Everyone is waiting for us." Ulquiorra walked out with Jess's dish. All the dishes were in protective pots and pans with sealed lids. Jess walked out smiling and kissed Ulquiorra on the cheek. "Thanks, hun. I'll get out jackets."
Grimmjow helped Oichi put her jacket on and handed her the purse. Jess had somehow convinced him carpool, so they were taking Oichi's car. Jess helped Oichi down the stairs while Grimmjow locked the house up and set the alarm. Ulquiorra put the pot in the back of trunk with everything else. Then he and Jess got in the back seat and Grimmjow and Oichi in the front. They then drove off to Momo's place.
"When do you think Ichigo is going to ask Orihime to marry him?" Jess asked. Oichi hums out as she ate a pickle. "I don't know. I wonder what type of wedding they would have." "Are you going to be the maid of honor?" Oichi laughed. "No, that would be Tatsuki no doubt. I'll settle for being a bride's maid or even just taking the credit of making the dress." Jess chuckled. "I see." She smirked. "When are you and Grimmjow planning on tying the knot?" Oichi's face turn red. "Oh um…" Grimmjow looked at Jess through the rear mirror. "Don't be trying to fluster my woman up. We are getting married when the time comes. Right now, we should focus on getting things ready for the twins and the new chapter in our lives. Marriage will always be there." He reached out and placed a hand on Oichi's lap. "Married or not I don't plan on leaving her, so she's stuck with me forever." Oichi smiled. Jess rolled her eyes. "When you go all mussy you sound all weird." "Oh, shut up." "Mmm I can't wait to eat all the yummy food at the house. I wonder if Nel will bring Nnoitra." "I'd hope not." Ulquiorra says. "Agreed. That fucker can go die in a ditch somewhere." "Do you have a grudge with Nnoitra?" Oichi asked. "Sure, he is rough around the edge, but you get extra angry when we bring him and Nel up." Grimmjow sighed. "They used to date before me and her got together." Oichi's eyes widen. "Really!?" "Normally I couldn't care less who she sleeps with, but the fucker doesn't have a filter with what he does, and Grayson is getting to the age where he copies things he sees." "Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black…" Jess says. Grimmjow gripped the stirring wheel tightly. "If you haven't notice you red headed idiot, Nnoitra doesn't give a shit about what comes out his mouth. At least I tone my mouth down but he doesn't." Jess bit her lip at Grimmjow's insult. Ulquiorra pats her leg.
"In this case he is right. Nnoitra does have that effect. It would be a problem if the children would learn his habits of abusing women and heavy drinking." Oichi gasps. "Abusing women!? D-Does that mean…?" "No, he doesn't have a death wish when it comes to Nel. She's stronger then she looks and she's the only person who can put him in his place but, she broke up with the dude because he kept trying his luck. The last thing she should want is him around Grayson." Jess links her fingers with Ulquiorra. "Maybe she knows something that we don't." "Such as?" "Well…when people look at you, they think your nothing but a muscle-bound meat head with a rude and dirty mouth when in truth you're just a big rude teddy bear unless it comes to Oichi." Oichi giggles. "So maybe Nnoitra is the same? Maybe he has changed for the better?" Ulquiorra shook his head. "I give him a month." Grimmjow huffed out. "More like another week…"
About 15 minutes later, Grimmjow turned off on the road to Momo's house. It had been a while since they had been out this way and more houses and roads had been built, little by little. There was now an intersection instead of on long road. Oichi was looking out the window. "Wow…its turning into quite a place now." There were a few people walking about, somewhere unpacking their cars for the evening dinner, that was playground where kids were out and about playing. Grimmjow was behind two cars waiting to go. On the way Oichi was telling Jess about new schools in the area. Jess agreed and said maybe she could find a way to help her out. Grimmjow sigh as the car in front moved and the car in front of them moved and stop to let the others go. They then heard Oichi's stomach growl. "Oh…" She frowned and rubbed her stomach. "I'm hungry…" Grimmjow honks his horn. "Move your ass already!" He yelled in the car. Jess rolls her eyes. "Typical Grimmjow and his road rage but it's cute to see him like this for Oichi's sake. Gotta keep her and the twins fed." Ulquiorra simply nodded and glanced down to Jess's stomach and then looked away from it.
The car in front finally moved. "Finally! Damn I got a woman and two kids to fed here!" Grimmjow huffs out. Oichi laughs at him as he pulled up to the stop sigh. Ulquiorra looked out the window. He saw a car speeding towards the stop sigh. He narrowed his eyes just as Grimmjow started to drive. Jess caught the car in her sights just seconds after him thinking it was going to start slowing down but instead it picked up speed." W-WATCH OUT!" She yelled but it was to late. Grimmjow and Oichi turned to see the car coming full force at them and everything seem like it went in slow motion. The car rammed into the middle of the car. Oichi and Jess scream out as the force of the speeding car forced the car to roll over. The windows shattered and the trunk flew open, throwing out their food. The car rolled three times before landing on its tires. People started to scream out in horror as the car who hit them sped away but not before someone snapped a picture of the plates.
Inside the car, Grimmjow's ears were ringing and his forehead was bleeding. He tried to move to check on everyone, but he felt a sharp pain in his side. He looked down to see a shard of glass from the front window was in his side. "Fuck…" He hissed out. He turned his head to check on Oichi. Her head was toss to the side and blood was coming out of her ear. She looked okay until he looked down. Grimmjow's eyes widen to see a blood spot growing through her leggings. "Oichi! Oichi!?" He tried to move but the glass was in deep. He grits his teeth, grabs the glass and pulls it out his side. "Jess, Ulquiorra!? You two okay back there!?" He reached over to Oichi to check her pulse.
In the back see Jess had been out for a few seconds. She opened her eyes and saw a shard of glass in her arm. "Ugh…what the hell…" She then felt something wet drop on her face. She looked up to see Ulquiorra leaning over her. She gasps when she saw blood dropping from the back of his neck. Her heart started to beat fast and panic started to take over fearing the worst. "Ulquiorra!?" She ignored the pain in her arm and wigging from under him. She gasp when she saw his side. There was glass stuck in his side and lower back. Ulquiorra had shielded her from most of the glass and he was out cold. Jess teared up and placed a hand around him. "Hold on! I'll get us out!" She says in tears now. She sits up and back kicks the door using her inhuman strength. The door flies off, almost hitting a few people who had came over to help. Jess drug Ulquiorra out the car and landed on ground with him on her stomach. "Ulq…" She checked his pulse and sighed out as she felt it. 'He isn't dead! Thank God!'
"Ms! Are you two okay!?" A few people came to them. "We called the police and they are on their way. Do you have someone you can call?" Jess nodded and then looked at the car. She could see Oichi's head leaning against the door unmoving. "M-My friend! She's five months with twins! Please help her!" Other people were already on it. Inside, Grimmjow was holding his side that was bleeding. He managed to get out of his seat belt but Oichi's was jammed into the seat. "Fuck…Fuck…" He says as he eyes her leggings. "Babe! Oichi come on wake up for me." He reached over and turned her head. She was out cold. Just then his door was opened. "Hey man you okay?" "Does it look like I'm okay!? My girl is pregnant and she's bleeding out over here!" The man frowned. "We are trying to help. Your bleeding to." "Forget about me! Just fucking help her!" Grimmjow screamed out in anger. He then stopped. "The house up there. Last house on the left. One of her friends is a doctor." The man nodded. "Yeah, Momo's place. We will go get them! The police have already been called and they should be on their way." The man and two others quickly took off to Momo's place.
Jess lays Ulquiorra down carefully. She looked at the glass in her arm. She frowned and pulled it out hissing in pain. She then tore a piece of her dress and wrapped it around the cut for now. She got out and moved people out the way. "Oichi!? Oichi are you okay?" Jess eyes widen to see blood on her leggings. "Oh no!" Using her strength again she tore the door off the car. "Wait! If you move her you might make things worst!" Someone says. Jess looked over to Grimmjow who was breathing slightly heavy. The cut in his side was deeper then he thought. "Dammit it all…"
At Momo's place, Nel and the others were waiting on Oichi. "Where the hell are they! She called and said she was down the road!" Grayson and the kids were at the kitty table already eating. Ichigo sighs. "Can we just eat. As long as we leave enough for Oichi we should be fine." Momo crossed her arms. "I guess that's okay." Florina was there was Hisagi and she was frowning. "Flo? What's wrong?" Florina looks at him. "I just a little worried. It's this weird feeling I have…" Hisagi took her hand. "I'm sure they are almost here." Tatsuki sighs as she held Noah. "Maybe try giving her a call?" Ikkaku groans out loudly. "Let's just freaking eat already! It's like Ichigo said so long as we…"
Suddenly Uryu's phone started to go off. Tatsuki frowned. "I told you to take that off and leave it at home." "I know. This is my regular phone. They only call when its family or friends." Toshiro and Rangiku walked in from the kitchen with plates. Momo got up. "Hey! You two are supposed to wait for Oichi and the others!" Toshiro rolled his eyes. "There is plenty of phone for them. I'm not letting all this food get cold." Uryu answered his phone, trying to ignore Tatsuki's glares. "This better be good." He says getting up. "S-Sir there has been an accident!" "Alright is it…" "It's right down the road from you sir!" Uryu stopped. "What!?" "The callers said it was a bad crash and one of the people in the car is pregnant! We are already sending people but" "…get everything ready! I'm on my way!" He turned around with a panic face. "Uryu…" Tatsuki says. "There's been a car accident right down the road. I got word that one of them is pregnant." Their eyes widen. "What!?" Nel yelled out. Toshiro put his food on the table. "Ikkaku, Yumichika, Rangiku, let's go." "Right." They said.
They were making their way to the door when they heard banging. Momo got up and answered it. There was a man out of breath. "M-Momo…your friends…car accident…need help…" He gasps out. Toshiro stepped around her. "What can you tell us?" "There is a man and a lady who is pregnant with twins. They both are bleeding pretty badly." Florina stood up as the color from her face left. "Oichi…" She felt her knees go week. The shock of hearing that hit her hard as Hisagi grabbed her and sat her down. Uryu grabbed his keys and ran to the door pushing them to the side. "Stay here." Ichigo says to Orihime. "Of course." He ran out behind Uryu with Toshiro and the others following.
Uryu got to his car and him and Ichigo jumped in. He quickly drove off to the short distance. "We could have just ran you know." Ichigo says. "Shut up. We lose every second we would have ran." They quickly pulled up the site. Uryu grabbed his bag and jumped out the car and ran to Oichi's side. Jess was in Tears as she held Oichi's hand. "Jess!" Jess sniffled and turned to Uryu. "Uryu…pleas help!" He looked down at her arm and looked over at Ulquiorra. He looked at Oichi and frowned. "Step back." Jess nodded. Ichigo got to Grimmjow's side. "You really got yourself in some shit huh." Shut up…" Grimmjow says. Uryu tossed some bandages to Ichigo. "Do I have to explain what do to?" Ichigo ignored him and helped Grimmjow out the car. Uryu frowned as he did his best to keep her in a stable condition. He couldn't do much with what he had.
Seconds later, they saw flashing red lights and heard the sirens. People were standing outside the house watching. Toshiro and the others moved them back and started asking question while the police started to block the area off. Two ambulance pulled up and quickly got to work. They carefully put Ulquiorra on a stretcher and started to put him in the back. "Ms. You need to come with us to so we can look at your arm." Jess was watching the EMTs work on Oichi. Uryu was directing them and then turned to Jess. "Jess go now. We will be right behind you. Leave her to me." Jess nodded and was escorted in the back with Ulquiorra. She grabbed his hand as tears ran down her cheek. "Oh Ulquiorra…" The doors closed and drove off. When they finally got Oichi out the car they quickly put her on a stretcher as well. Ichigo helped Grimmjow up and they all got into the back and drove off to the hospital.
An Hour went by and Nel, Orihime, Florina, and Hisagi showed up at the hospital. Florina's cheeks were red from crying and she couldn't stop shaking. Hisagi was holding her hand trying to keep her calm. Karen and Yuzu rushed in from a spare room and saw them. They worked at the hospitals as nurse assistants sometimes. "Hey!" Karen went to them. "They are this way." Yuzu and Karen guided them down the hall into another wing of the hospital. "Can you tell us what's going on?" Nel asked. "Jess and Grimmjow should be getting checked out and getting stiches, her boyfriend and Oichi are in surgery." "S-Surgery?" Florina asked in a panic. "When they brought Oichi in she was bleeding out excessively, it could range to anything and the twin's lives are in danger as well." Florina stop as tears leaked down her tears. "In danger! What's going to happen with my sister and the twins!? Who is working on her!? How long is this surgery going to go on!" She yelled out. Hisagi grabbed Florina and pulled her into his chest as she started to cry uncontrollably. "You guys go on ahead." Yuzu nods to Karen. "I'll stay with them."
Karen led Nel and Orihime to a private section of the hospital. It was new wing that Uryu had paid for out his pocket. Karen was about to lead them to a waiting room where they heard screaming and crashing. "I don't give a fuck about me! WHERE IS OICHI!" Nel frowned. "Grimmjow…" She took a turn down the hall and ran to the screams and crashing. She stopped when she saw a shirtless Grimmjow push a nurse and a doctor from him. "Get the hell out of my way!" "Sir you have to calm down! You are still injured! Once we get you bandages up and checked out, we can escort you to your girlfriend." Grimmjow hit the wall hard, slightly cracking it. "GET THE FUCK OUT MY FACE! YOU TAKE ME TO HER NOW!" Nel walked up them. "Grimmjow calm down…" Grimmjow glared at her. "Nel. Don't tell me to calm down…not when Oichi and my twins' lives are in fucking danger! I need to be with them! Not sitting in some damn room!" Nel looked down to his side. It was actually worse then it was. Grimmjow still had small pieces of glass in his side and the blood was dripping down his side to his pants and on the floor. "Grimmjow, you need to let these people work on you. You can bleed out and we don't want that. Oichi will be find until you get fix so go to the bac now." Grimmjow was stubborn as he tried to take a step. "Shut up! I'm not going to leave her on that table. I refuse to leave her side because of some basic ass cut! I swore that I was going to protect her, and I damn well will do it!" Nel sighed. She didn't want to hurt him any more then she should, but he wasn't going down with all that adrenaline rush in his veins. "Sorry Grimmjow. I need to take a nap now." "I agree…" They heard.
Grimmjow felt something hit the back of his neck. His eyes widen and went empty. He fell forward on the floor pasted out. Nel looked up to see Jess. "I didn't kill him if that is what your thinking. Pressure points. The doctors sighed and motion the nurses and other doctors to help bring Grimmjow back to the room. "Thank you miss." Jess nodded as they carry Grimmjow away. Jess walked up to Nel. "Have you heard word of Oichi?" Nel looked at Jess arm. It was already stitched up and bandaged. "Somewhat. She and Ulquiorra in surgery. Karen was showing us the waiting room." Jess nodded. "Do you mind if I walk with you?" Nel nodded and walked back down the hall with Jess following her.
Karen was waiting for them. "Did you calm him down?" Nel nodded. "Yeah, he's good for now." Karen pointed to a small open glass room. They saw Ichigo and Orihime sitting down. "That's the waiting room for this floor. I will try to bring you as much information as a I can." Nel smiles. "Thanks." Karen walked off. Nel and Jess walked into the room. Ichigo's head pops up. "Jess? You good?" Jess holds up her arm. "It seems like I'm the only one that got off easy. Thanks to Ulquiorra. He shielded me from the rest." She and Nel took a seat. Ichigo sighs and holds Orihime's hand. They were soon joined by Hisagi, Florina, and a teary eye Izzy in tow. She and Florina were holding hands as they sat down. Jess looked down at her arm and looked the sisters. "I'm sorry…I should have tried harder to help…" Florina smiles. "It's okay. What matters is that you are okay. I'm sure everyone else will come out okay to." Izzy squeezes her hand as tears ran down her cheeks. Florina also tears up and rubs her head. "She and the twins will be okay Izzy." "Is Dante and Danni coming?" Ichigo asked. "Mama left a few days ago, duty calls and we rarely ever get up with papa but I'm sure he will find out in his own way." Ichigo sighs. "I will never understand your parents. I don't think I could ever not be in the life of my child, but they do it so easily." Florina sighs. "It's not a big bother. Oichi has us and we have Oichi, we are sisters and we look out for each other. Always." Jess smiles. "I agree. I see you all as my sisters and I would do anything to protect you and look out for you."
Hours passed and they were joined by Momo, Kira, and Rangiku who brought Grayson. Rukia and Jushiro also came by with Ichika. "Jushiro? Why are you hear?" Ichigo asked. "Well I got word that Oichi was in a car accident, so I came to see how everything was." He took a seat beside Izzy. He rubs her head. "You two must be Oichi's sisters. I just want you two to know that your sister is a very strong woman and she won't let something like this keep her down. She and her twins will be just fine." Florina and Izzy nodded. Rukia sat beside Orihime with Ichika on her lap. When she spotted Grayson, she smiled and tried to wiggle her way off Rukia. Rukia chuckled and put her down. Ichika stood up by herself and by taking baby steps she made her way to Grayson who was playing on his tablet on the floor. Ichika sat beside him and watched him play games. Jess smiled. "They are so cute." Nel sighs. "Yeah…I figured that would happen."
Another hour past and Karen came into the room. "Jess? Can you come with me please?" Jess nodded and got up. She left the room with Karen. "Ulquiorra is out of surgery and has been placed in a room. He is still out cold, but his life isn't in any danger." Jess sighs out in relief. "What about Oichi." "I'm not sure yet. Karen went to go check." Jess sadness came back. "Oh…" "I'm sure she is okay my dad was called in so I know for sure that she will be okay." Jess nodded and followed Karen up to the 5th floor. Yuzu led her to Ulquiorra's room and open the door. The room was peached cover with the bed in the middle, a large couch near the window, two chairs and a table, a small mount TV in front of the bed. A sink and separate room for the bathroom. Jess walked in and saw Ulquiorra laying in the bed sleeping. He had a bandage around his neck and hooked up to a IV. His heart monitor was beeping steadily. She felt the corner of her eyes water up and she went to go take a seat near his bed. She grabbed his hand and held up as she waited in silence.
In the waiting room, Grimmjow walked in with a borrowed open shirt. He had bandages around his waist and head. "Grimmjow are you sure you should be walking around." Ichigo asked. "Shut up…" Grimmjow says as he goes to sit down beside him. Grayson smiles at him and gets up. Ichika also gets up and follows Grayson. "Daddy okay now?" Grimmjow smiles and nods. "Hold?" "Not right now shrimp. "You can sit beside me though." He picks Grayson up but winch when he does. He sits him in the car next to him. "Grimmjow don't push yourself to hard." Nel says. Grimmjow rubs his side. "I know already." "Daaaa…" Grimmjow looked back down to see Ichika looking up at him. "You want up to dumpling. I think I have one more in me." He bends down and picks her up. He sits her next to Grayson. She wiggles her way closer to him so that she could watch him play the game on his tablet.
"Any word on Oichi?" He says sighing out. "None yet." Hisagi says. Just then Ichigo's father, Isshin walked in with a doctor's coat on. "Dad? What are you doing here?" Ichigo asked. Isshin ignored him. "Hello my cute daughter-in-law! I hope my son isn't giving you to much trouble!" Ichigo sighs. "Whatever…" Isshin chuckles. "So who is man that has capture my little Oichi's heart. I see her as my daughter as well you know." Grimmjow gets up and nearly stumbles. Ichigo helped him. "Where is she…" He says breathing heavily. Isshin looked him up and down. "Ah, you must be the runaway guy the doctors are looking for. You shouldn't be moving with those injuries. It took a while to take all that glass out your skin and stich you back up. It would be annoying…" "Fine, fine…I'll go back once I know Oichi and the twins are okay. Take me to them you old fart." Isshin chuckled. "Come with me." Florina and Izzy stood up. "Can we come to?" Isshin nodded. "Yes, you two are her family and you need to know this as well." Grimmjow, Florina, and Izzy walked out behind him.
"Oichi made it out of surgery okay. She lost some blood but nothing we can fix. It was a little touch and go. We fear that she had a placenta abruption." "A what?" Grimmjow asked. "It causes the placenta to be prematurely detached from the uterine wall." Izzy says. Isshin nods. "Impressive your right. Are you studying to be a nurse?" "No, I study with Karen and Yuzu and they make me test them on stuff." Isshin chuckles. "That's adorable! Getting back to the point. It doesn't take a lot of force to detach the placenta and it becomes a critical condition that can be fatal not only to the child but as well as the mother. One of the life threating dangers would be internal bleeding." Grimmjow stopped. "Wait…what are you telling me? You just said Oichi made it out okay." Isshin stopped. "I was just explaining to you what was happening." Florina covered her mouth. "The twins…" Grimmjow heart dropped and his eyes widen. "Don't tell me…" Isshin chuckles. "My all of you are very tense. Oichi and the twins made it out of surgery okay. As we speak, they are moving her to room on the 5th floor."
Florina tears up. "T-Then don't speak to us like something bad happened!" She yelled out. Making Grimmjow and Izzy jumped at her rare loudness. Isshin rubbed the back of his head. "You are right. I do apologize for that." He looked at Grimmjow. "I just thought you should know about why she was bleeding and why we took her into surgery, but I promise you all that I did my best work and made sure that Oichi and the twins came out alright. That is why I was called." He smiled. "Now follow me please."
They got on the elevator and with to the 5th floor and walked down the hallway. They came to a circle hall and went to the door in the middle. Isshin opened the door and they walked into a large room. The walls were peachy and the bed was in the middle of the room. There were two comfort chairs beside the bed. A large sofa, three chairs, and a table near the window, and tv mounted in the wall and a sperate room for the bathroom.
Isshin and the other walked up to the bed where Oichi was laying at. She had bandages around her head. She was hooked up to and IV and a heart monitor. She was sleeping comfortably. Grimmjow walked up to her and ran his hand through her hair. He then lifted her blanket and pulled it down and over her stomach. She was in a white and brown hospital maternity gown. Grimmjow pulled the gown up and frowned to see bruises on her stomach. Florina and Izzy held each other as they tear up. Grimmjow placed a hand on her stomach and felt many kicks hitting his hand. He smiled sweetly. "It's okay you two. Your mom is okay and so are you. So, calm down." The kicks started to slow down. "There you go…" Isshin smiled. "Did you want to know the genders?" Grimmjow looked at her. "We had to do an ultrasound so if you want…" Grimmjow pulled her gown down and pulled the blanket over her. "We are supposed to have a gender reveal party in December." Isshin crossed his arms. "I see…well if you two decide to know let me know." "How long is she going to stay here?" "Hmm…depends on when she wakes up. I like to keep her here for an addition week just to be safe. As for you, you need proper rest and I'm sure you pulled a stich just by walking here. So as promise you and I are going back down to get you looked at." Grimmjow frowned and sighs. "Fine…" Florina and Izzy smiles. "We will be here looking after her." Grimmjow nodded. "Alright. Thanks." He got up and followed Isshin out.
On November 27, Oichi had woke up that early morning. She turned her head to see people sleeping. On the chair closes to the bed Grimmjow was sleeping with Grayson on his lap. On the sofa's next to the window was Hisagi and Florina. She was sleeping on top of him, snuggled up close. Izzy was the only one up. She was flipping though channels. The TV was on silent. She sighed sadly until she looked back and saw Oichi was awake. Her eyes grew big and she teared up. "Sis!" She yelled out, waking up Everyone in the room. Izzy ran to Oichi's bed and hugged her as she cried out. "Sis I'm so happy you awake!" Florina sits up and rubs the sleep out of her eyes. When she notices Oichi was up she did the same as Izzy and ran to hug Oichi.
Oichi pat them both on the head. "Sorry for worrying you." She says softly. Izzy and Florina cried more in happy tears. Hisagi managed to move them away from Oichi so that they can get themselves together. Grimmjow got up with a worried look in his eye. "Babe…" Oichi smiles. "Hi." She says. Grimmjow said nothing as he places a sleepy Grayson on the bed. "Auntie awake…YAA..Yaay…" He says in a sleepy voice. He was wearing a cute blue bear one-piece pjs. "You look so cute Gray."
"Oi…" Grimmjow says to Hisagi. "I need a minute…" Hisagi sighs and nods. He walks over and takes Grayson and then escorts the sisters out. When the door closed Grimmjow looked down at Oichi. Oichi reaches up and rubs his face. "I'm okay…we are okay." She pulled him close. He placed his face in the crook of her neck, wrapped an arm around her stomach and place his hand behind her head. Oichi felt water hitting her neck. She rubs his head. "It's okay love. It's okay." She says.
In Ulquiorra's room, he was also waking up. Jess was actually in the bed with him since the bed was big for two. He turned to look at her. Her hair was down, and she had dry wet line from crying. She was wearing a black t-shirt with no bra and black shorts. The blanket was off of her. Ulquiorra sits up, ignoring the fact that he was hooked up. He grabbed the blanket and pulled it over her. He then kissed her forehead before laying back down. Something he learned that he liked was watching her sleep. She had a peaceful expression on her face. At the moment however, her face was full of sadness something he didn't like. He sighed and reached up to pat her face. She sighs out before she starts to stir. Her eye fluttered open and they widen to see Ulquiorra.
She sat up quickly and smiled brightly. "Ulquiorra! Your awake! I'm so happy!" She jumped on him and kissed him on the lips. He wrapped an arm around her and deepens the kiss. She pulls back with a smile on her face. "How are you feeling?" "…Tired, Weak. What happened." Jess frowned. "You don't remember? We got hit by a car and…and you shielded me from most of the glass." "I did?" Jess nodded. "Yes, you had to go into surgery, and you were asleep for about four days." She sits up on the bed. "I never left your side." She says blushing. Ulquiorra eyes widen a little and he noticed a bag over by the couches. "I couldn't bare leave you in here alone without someone to look after you, so I was told I could stay. They even showed me how to change your bandages." She shook a bit. "I was so worried…I didn't know when you would wake up…" Ulquiorra rubbed her back. "I see. I am sorry for worrying you. Where you harmed?" Jess held up her arm where her stiches was. "Just a glass in my arm. That's it." "That's good. I think…I don't think I would like it if another scar appeared on your body." Jess turned to him and wipes her eyes. She rubs his cheeks. She gave him a lovely smile that made his heart do a throb feeling. "I'm just happy that you are okay." "I see…you should go clean your face. I won't be able to sleep until I can see your peacefulness." Jess giggles. She was aware that he watched her in her sleep. At first, she found it a little creepy, but she got use to it. To her it meant that he would only look at her and no other woman. She got up and went to the bathroom. Ulquiorra sighs and rubs his chest. 'So, this is the feeling…the same feeling that Oichi has for Grimmjow? This feeling is different from when I wanted Oichi to myself. It was more of a need then a wanting.' He looked to the bathroom. 'Ever since I've been with her all I could think about was her and only her.' He narrows his eyes. 'Am I…falling for her?'
Back in Oichi's room, once Grimmjow got himself together he explains everything that happened. Oichi rubbed her stomach. "I wonder who hit us…" Grimmjow growled. "When I find out I'll make sure to take his head." Oichi frowned at that then smiled. "So Isshin knows the genders?" Grimmjow nodded. "I told him that you were having a gender reveal party, but he left the results here." He says grabbing a folded piece of paper. "It's up to you." Oichi hums out. "A gender reveal party was also nice, but we can always have more kids and do it heehee. I'm really wanna know the gender of our babies!" Grimmjow smirked and sat beside her. He opened the paper and the both read the results. Oichi gasps and Grimmjow laughed.
There was a knock on the door, and Hisagi, Florina, Izzy who was holding Grayson, walked back in. "Oichi?" Oichi smiled and looked at them. "Girls! I'm having baby girls!" She says excitedly. There eyes widen. "Both of them are girls!?" Izzy says. Florina giggles. "So cute! I always knew they were going to be girls! We need to throw a shower ASAP!" Oichi rubs her belly. "Grimmjow. Our baby girls." Grimmjow chuckled and rubbed her belly. "Yeah." "When should we have it now that we aren't having the gender reveal?" Izzy says. "Christmas will be coming up to so I would feel a little guilty if we had it around that time." Florina says. Izzy sighs. "Other then Ichigo's kid, Rukia's kid, Grayson, and a few others not may have kids to spend their money on. Besides Jess had already been planning this so now all we have to do is tell everyone it's a girl and boom no problem. Those who have gifts should have gotten neutral colors and those who haven't gotten gifts now know what to do." Florina sighs. "You are so pushy and mean spirited sometimes." Oichi chuckled. "Speaking off Jess, where is she?" "With her boyfriend. He woke a little after you." Oichi frowned. "Ulquiorra…hmm…he protected Jess in the car accident. So, I guess he isn't a bad guy after all." She smiles. "I guess Jess was right. I just needed to get use to him a little." Grimmjow shook his head and got up. "Where are you going?" "To tell Jess the news. Or at least get her to come to see you. She came in for about an hour, cried, and then left for the past few days. It was annoying as all hell." Oichi giggled and handed him the paper. "Then let her read it herself and hurry back please." Grimmjow smiled and kissed her forehead. He then left the room.
Ulquiorra's room was a few doors down from Oichi's. Thanks to Uryu only certain people and nurses were allowed in the rooms. He sighs as he rubbed his head. 'Please don't be having sex…I really don't want to see it…please for the love God…I ask that you don't let me see it…' He sighs and opens the door without knocking. His eyes narrow and he cursed under his breath. There they were indeed having sex. Jess was on top of Ulquiorra bouncing up and down trying to hold in her moans. Her long hair covered her back so all he could see was it moving up and down with her body. He could faintly hear slight moans that sound like Ulquiorra. Grimmjow stepped back and closed the door. "Why do you hate me God. I ask for forgiveness you shit my face. Yeah, I deserved it that time since I killed people. I thought you forgave people or something. I come for you a second time and asked you nicely not to go to jail and what did you do? You sent me to fucking jail. Can't hold that against since I did in fact kill people. Now, NOW, I asked in the most nicest way to not see my girls, best friend fucking a dude I can't stand and once again you shit all over me. I have not killed anyone since I've been out and all I ask for is ONE freaking hand out." He ruffled his hair after mumbling this angrily to himself. He sighs out and this time he knocks on the door. He heard a quick gasp and scuffle. He waited for a few moments and the door opened to a flustered Jess. Her t-shirt strap was hanging down her shoulder. "G-Grimmjow? Good morning!" She says smiling. "Uh huh…I can Ulquiorra must have woken up." Jess face started to turn more red. "Did you need to see him or something?" "No, I could care less about him. Here." He handed her the paper. "Oichi woke up and we ended up getting results of the gender. When your done stop by and see her." He says. He then rushes on out the way.
Jess closes the door. "The results to the twins?" She pouted slightly. "So no gender party all that wasted effort." She sighs and looks at the paper. Her eyes widen and a huge smile came to her face. "Girls! She's having baby twin girls! My nieces!" She giggled. "Well I'm sure I can turn the gender party to a baby shower. No bigge." She put the paper down and climbed back into the bed with a waiting Ulquiorra. "Congratulations." He says as he watches remove her clothes again. Jess chuckled. "It's not me who you should be congratulating." Ulquiorra placed his hands on her hips. "You should go see her." Jess nodded. "I will after this." She said smirking.
In Oichi's room, Grayson was rubbing his cheek on Oichi's stomach. "Sissy! My sissy!" Oichi rubbed his head. "Your going to be a great big brother Gray." Gray smiled. "Yes!" Hisagi and Florina had left to get food, so Izzy was in the room with her doing some homework. "What are you going to name them?" She asked. "Hmm…well Grimmjow liked the name Naomi and Alisha. I think they are cute names." Izzy hums out. "Grimmjow came up with those names?" Oichi nodded. "Yeah, he already had a bunch but those two stuck out the most for him." The door opened and Grimmjow walked in. "I gave her the paper." Oichi frowns. "Why do you look so defeated?" Grimmjow takes a seat and slides down in it. "I just hit a major realization that's all. Anyways she should be here in another hour or so maybe…" Oichi shook her head. "You saw didn't you." "More then I wanted to see…" Grayson's head pops up and he gasp. "Sissy kick me!" Oichi giggles. "They must be happy to see you." Grayson's eyes sparkled and he rubbed his cheek on her stomach. "I happy to!"
On December the 1st, Oichi was discharged from the hospital and was put on bed rest for the next two weeks. Even though Grimmjow wanted her to rest and take it easy, Oichi ended up bring her work home or having people stop by and bring her the reports. She didn't push herself to much like she promised though. Grimmjow, a little sick of working with Dante already, ended up getting another job. A construction job like he had originally planned. The paycheck wasn't as big as what Dante was paying but, it gave him a little more freedom and with his knowledge of the business field he could definitely work his way up the ranks faster then most.
That evening Dante had finally stopped by, with a few gifts for the twins now that he knew the gender. In Oichi's room he was sitting on the bed fixing up a bassinet for them. "You can't find a building for your shop?" "I found plenty but, they didn't approve of it. The buildings I found were in good shape and the prices to buy them out didn't even reach the amount that the center had given me." "I see. Then the only logical thing I think they are doing is trying to push you to find a building they had already had their eyes on." "If that's so then why not just tell me. I am willing to work with whatever they give me." Dante rubs his chin. "Hmmm…didn't the café shut down a few months ago?" Oichi nodded. "Yeah..." She rubs her head. "That store is the only store that sits on both the center line and Hueco Mondo." She then frowns. "Wait. Do you think they would make me buy that shop and use to force another partnership with Aizen's company?"
Dante stopped what he was doing. "There is a high possibility." "I don't want that." Oichi says. Dante looked at her. "I'm tired of being used and being a scapegoat for when people drop the ball. Every time Aizen or the center is involved together in something it ends up badly for those around it." Dante crosses his arms. "What would you like to do?" Oichi hums out. "Maybe I can by the area land around it? By out the lease and make my own? Would that work?" Dante closes his eyes to think and then open them. "No. Since you work with the center, they may not allow you to do that. Your profits are their profits and they would be stupid to let all that money go. Plus, the money you are using doesn't belong to you it belongs to them." Oichi sighs. "Okay…well what would you suggest." Dante gets up. "I don't like it but there are way around this is you know the right people. I know you hate it and I very much despise it, but this is where your ties with Jess comes in handy." Oichi raised her eyebrow. "Meaning?" "Jess is from royalty. All she needs to do is buy out the property from both the center and Aizen. Have her place it under the Mikcloud family name for a while until Aizen and the old fart are off your back and then switch the ownership to you." Oichi sits up. "Papa…if I do that then I will feel like I am using Jess. I could never ask her to do something like that. Plus, what if her uncle wants some weird favor in return?" "It's up to you pumpkin. I'm just throwing out ideas."
Oichi crossed her arms. "Is there a way you can use your skills to make this happen? Without bothering Jess like this?" Dante chuckled. "Why whatever do you mean?" Oichi rolled her eyes. "You know. Like the sneaky stuff you do? Find loopholes of some kinds? Read between the final print lines? Something like that?" Dante smirked. "Your asking me to do something illegal my dear daughter. Are you sure about that?" Oichi sighs out and nodded. "Yeah, plus I doubt you will let it backfire on me if something goes wrong. Its one of the things I love about you. You are always one step ahead of everyone. I bet you figured out we were going to have this conversation today." Dante laughed. "True, I figured we would, but I have to say I am quite shocked and a little pleased for you to want my help. Jess is the hard way since you feel like you would be using her for her power and money but mine is easier since you wouldn't have to even lift a finger." Oichi pouted a bit. "If you knew that they why would you suggest it!" "You have to make these types of choices on your own pumpkin. You were the one who told me not to hold your hand through situations like this. I simply gave you the best options I could offer." Oichi groans out. "That is what I dislike about you to." Dante rubbed her head. "Leave everything to me. Go ahead and ask about the café shop when you get the chance." Oichi nodded. "Thanks papa."
Izzy was sitting in the back on her break at the shop. It was really slow today most likely people were focusing on buy Christmas gifts. She sighs as she stirs her tea. She was doing a little of her homework when the door open. She looked up to see Yushiro walk in. Her heart skipped a beat and she looked down to avoid looking at him. Yushiro closes the door and gulps. He walks up to the table she was at and stopped in front of it. "I-Izzy?" Izzy stopped what she was doing and looked up at him. His face was flustered, and he was sweating. "Are you okay?" Izzy asked in a concern voice. "Y-Yes I um…" He rubbed the back of his head. "You see the thing is…" He turned his head unsure of what to say. "Yushiro is there something you need to tell me? You don't have to be scared or anything." She says smiling. Yushiro eyes went wide. He bit his lip and then bows. "Will you please go on a date with me!" He finally yells out. Izzy tensed up. "Eh?" "P-Please? I would like to take you out on a date!" Yushiro says. "I know I might not be your type, but I really like you Izzy and I want you to see that I'm not just an overhyped kid." Izzy felt her cheeks heat up. "I never really thought of you like that and please don't bow to me. Um…as for the date…" She rubbed her fingers on the table. "S-Sure…" She said in almost a whisper. Yushiro stood up and flashed her with the biggest smile she had ever seen him do. "Great! Thank you, Izzy! Meet me back here at the mall this weekend please!" He quickly ran off back into the store. Izzy was still a little taken back. "A date…I'm going on a date with Yushiro…" She then stood up. "Oh my God I'm going on a date!" She started pacing. "Oh no! I don't have anything cute to wear! My hair is a mess! Should I wear makeup!? I need to stop by bath and body works and get a lot of smell goods! Oh what to do! Should I call Oichi? Maybe she could make me a outfit!? But what if she gets in the question mode and finds out about the date! Oooooo!" She ruffles her hair. Out the door, Karen and Yuzu were listening in on her. They both giggled at Izzy little panic attack.
Later in the evening, Ulquiorra was in his first condo doing some missed paperwork. He was discharged earlier then Oichi, but he still had to stay home for an extra week. In the kitchen, Jess was cooking. She had found out that tomorrow was his birthday and she wanted to celebrate it with him. Ulquiorra never celebrated his birthday before so it wasn't a big deal for him, but Jess wanted to go all out. She was going to make him a big dinner, bake him a cake and apparently, she had already gotten him a birthday gift or two. He couldn't help but wonder what it was. On the table his phone started to ring. He picked it up and answered it. "Hello?" "Ulquiorra, sir, it's me. I'm glad to know you were okay after your accident." "Yes, what do you want?" "Oh well, as a get-well gift I got a few pictures for you. No charge." "No." "Sir?" "I have no need for them anymore. I also have no need for you anymore. I will send you your last payment next week." "What? Wait sir? Did I do something wrong?" "I have found something else more interesting so I will no longer need your skill sets." He hangs up the phone and puts it down.
Ever since the accident Ulquiorra had been having conflicted feelings about Jess. The only reason he got this close to her was because he needed to get closer to Oichi. He needed to find a way to react with her without Grimmjow getting in his way. Now, he rarely thinks about Oichi and whenever he sees her, that feeling in his chest doesn't bother him like it use to. It might have been when he learned of her pregnancy. That might have been when he subconsciously realized that he and Oichi were never meant to be. He closed his eyes as he started to remember the first day, he met Oichi.
Nine years ago,
At the time, Ulquiorra was in his teen years. He had short black hair and his eyes were colder and emptier at that stage. He was born to an unnamed couple who gave him up after a year or two claiming he was a different breed them. How he never showed any emotion, never cried, all he did was just sit there with that empty stare. He creeped them out, they feared him, saw him as an emotionless monster and they couldn't take it anymore. After that Ulquiorra was bounced around many homes. It didn't faze him much weither he was in a loving home or an abusive home, it was all going to end up the same. He could see through the fakeness. Everyone who came in contact with him saw him differently, like a freak but really all it was is that he was lonely. Being abandon by parents who couldn't understand him, people forcing themselves to like him. It hurt him deeply. He just didn't know how he would express it. When he realized that it was pointless to keep living like this he just up and left and stayed on the streets, working whenever he could. That was were he met Aizen who was working with the center during that period. He invited Ulquiorra to work under him and find a purpose in his life. Ulquiorra accepted it and joined Aizen.
He started out simply as lowly grunt working his way up. His job was to really deliver things for Aizen under the radar. After a few months of getting the hang of it, one day he had messed up on a job. He still got it completed but he got hurt in the process. He had been beaten up and his clothes were torn. He was sitting against the wall on the main street. Ignoring the stares and whispers and not caring about how he looked he managed to deliver word to Aizen, and he was told to wait until someone came to get him. While he waited, he noticed a few high school girls walk by who were just chatting away about him. He ignored them until someone stopped in front of him.
"Excuse me? Are you okay?" Ulquiorra looked up and saw a cute girl. She had short black and purple hair and red eyes. They were full of worried and concern something he had seen before, but this felt different. She bends down and takes off her bag. "Did you get into a fight or something? You might need to go to the doctor, but I have a first aid kit." Ulquiorra gave her a blank look but the girl smiled as she got out the kit. "It's really dangerous around here you know. You gotta be careful or the packs will get ya and drag you in." She opens her kit and took out some bandages and wipes. "Can I take a look at your arm?" Ulquiorra said nothing. He was curious as to why she didn't react to his blank stare. The girl kept her smile. "Don't worry. I don't bite. My mama taught me this and I'm really good at it. My friends at school get in fights all the time." She moved closer to Ulquiorra and gently grabbed his arm. He could smell the scent of honey by pass his nose.
The girl looked at his arm and started to treat it. All the while people who were passing by were giving them dirty looks. He turned and looked back at the girl. This is the closet he had ever been to a girl and the first time someone didn't shun him for his cold look in his eyes. Why wasn't she bashing him like everyone one. "Do…you not fear me?" He asked. The girl looked up and her red eyes met his cold green eyes. She simply smiled at him. "Why do I need to fear you? Your hurt and I would have felt bad if I didn't try to do something." "My eyes." He says. The girl tilts her head to the side and laughs a bit. "Did I say something funny?" The girl shook her head. "No, I've seen eyes much worse than yours. Yours look more like you are lonely and maybe need a friend." Ulquiorra kept his blank look but her words made him feel less empty then before. His blank look made the girl smile. "Your happy right? With what I said?" Ulquiorra felt his eyes widen. The girl laughed and finished wrapping her arm. "There all done! It doesn't look bad, but I would recommend you get looked at." She put her kit away and grabbed her bag. "Oh, I almost forgot. How rude of me. My name is Oichi! Oichi Yamamoto! What's yours?" Ulquiorra said nothing. Oichi sighs. "Well no matter, I guess. Listen, I'm not trying to stick my nose into your life or anything, but I understand being lonely very well. It sucks and not most people can point it out. They just call you lazy or unmotivated. They criticize you because they don't know the true feeling of loneliness." Her eyes looked sad and once again for the first time in his life, he recognized that this girl, may have been the only one who could understand his pain.
Oichi rubs her head and the sad look disappeared out of her eyes. "Anyways I should get going. I'm already running late. Maybe one day we can meat up again and hang out. Hopefully I get to learn your name." She waved at him. "Bye! Be safe!" She turns off and walked away. Ulquiorra looked down. "It's…Ulquiorra…" He says in calm soft tone but Oichi heard him. She turned around and smiled sweetly at him. A throb hit Ulquiorra in his chest. "HeeHee. Ulquiorra huh. Then I'll see you later Ulquiorra!" She waves and runs off. 'See me later…' A tiny smile appeared on his lips and he leans his head back on the wall. 'Oichi…'
"Oi you look like shit." Ulquiorra turned and looked at his fellow grub member Grimmjow. He had very short blue hair that was cut like a low mohawk, piercing in his ears and was wearing a dark blue shirt with a black vest, dark blue skinny jeans and black shoes. He had his hands in his pockets and was giving Ulquiorra a annoyed look. "Would you get up already or do I need to drag your sorry ass back to work. You slacker." Ulquiorra signs mentally. He got up and brushed himself off. Grimmjow eyed his arm. "Did you fix yourself up?" Ulquiorra didn't answer him. In fact, he ignored him all together and walked passed him. Grimmjow growled out. "You bastard! I know you heard me talking to you! Don't ignore me!" He tried to throw a punch but Ulquiorra slide to the side, stuck his foot out, and tripped Grimmjow who fell into a trash can. Garbage was all over him. Ulquiorra waved the air around him. "Just like a dog to roll around in trash." He says walking off. Grimmjow growls out angrily and smashes the lid with his fist.
Ever since that meeting with Oichi, Ulquiorra couldn't get her out of his mind but he didn't have the push to go and meet her. He would hang out at the same corner they first meet and spot her walking by. She would stop and look around and then wait a little before moving on. Was she looking and waiting for him? There was a feeling in Ulquiorra's chest that was stirring but he didn't know what it was and he refused to ask anyone for help. He instead buried the feelings time and time again until one day while standing at the corner he spotted Oichi and a red headed boy walking hand in hand. He watched her do her usual stop which confused the red head before he pulled her along. Ulquiorra hangs his head low. Before he could even figure out what was going on with himself the only woman who might have saved him from this lonely era was not out of his reach. He clenched his chest. 'Oichi…' He took out a brand-new phone that he had gotten from Aizen. He held it up and quickly snapped a picture of her. He rounded the corner with hopes that no one saw him. Sliding to the ground he looked at the picture he had capture. His first picture of the girl he wanted to be his. That was where it had started, the picture taking, the stalking, learning everything he could about her from a distance. Never taking that first step and every day she slipped further and further away from him until she landed with the person, he might have detested the most.
Ulquiorra opened his eyes and leans his head back on the couch. He stared at the ceiling. 'It's time to let it go…' He says to himself. 'Oichi will never come to me. Never…' Jess walked out the kitchen and noticed Ulquiorra staring at the ceiling. She could tell he depressed which was weird since he never let her see his emotions so clearly. She walked over to him and sat beside him. "Hun? Are you okay?" Ulquiorra sits up and looks at her. "Just…realizing some things." "Do you want to talk about it?" She asked. Ulquiorra looks down. "…it's just…I realize what I really want I no longer can get, and it made me feel lonely and lost." Jess frowned. "What was it that you can't get? Maybe I can help you?" Ulquiorra sighs. "It's to late for that…" He reached out and grabbed her hand. "It was my fault that its lost, but I thought once it was gone those sad feelings would come back." He squeezed her hand. "I would rather not go through that again." Jess placed a hand over his and smiled. "Oh love. You don't have to go back to those feelings. I'm here with you so you don't have to feel lonely." She moved closer to him. "I care a lot for you Ulquiorra. You don't know how happy it makes me feel to wake up next to you in the morning. I love spending time with you and all of our conversations." Her face started to turn red. "My heart beats so fast when I am next to you and I can't see myself living without you." Ulquiorra turned to her. "Ulquiorra…I…I have fallen for you." She leans up and kisses him. She then pulls back. "My love for you grows stronger each and every day Ulquiorra so don't think you are ever alone okay?" Ulquiorra simply nodded. "Yes…you are right. Maybe it's time that I start looking and cherishing you more."
Jess smiled. "That would be nice." She kisses his cheek. "I'm going to take a shower. Can you watch the food? Its on low." Ulquiorra nodded and watched her walk off. He then looks back at his phone. 'I need to get rid of everything before she finds out…' He got up and walked into the kitchen with his phone.
Minutes later, after her shower, Jess was looking at herself in the mirror with a red face. She was wearing a black and green lingerie kimono vestido. It was something she had gotten for Ulquiorra's birthday tomorrow, but he seem so down that she wanted to surprise him. She turned around and did a sexy pose. Looking at herself in the mirror made her face go up a degree. "What am I do? This is a bit embarrassing." She shook her head. "No, it's not like he hasn't seen me in my bra and panties before. This is just something sexier." She smiles and walks out the room. "The pot roast will take hours to cook so we do have time for some fun haha. I hope he likes it. I know! I'll hid in the closet and jump out and jump him." She smiled and giggled as she skips to the door. She opens it. "Ulquiorra! Can you come here for a moment!?" She closed the door and quickly raced to the closet. "I can't wait to see his face when he sees me." She grabbed the knob of the door and opened it and turned on the light.
Her smiling face dropped and went to shock as she saw what was inside. The closet she opened was Ulquiorra's personal closet. The one he had been hiding all the pictures of Oichi. Jess's heart started to beat fast as she walked in. She looked around the closet in disbelief. She recognized some of the picture and some even had her in it." She grabbed one that look like it had been taken months ago in July when they learned she was pregnant. She grabbed another one that was recent of her leaving work with Nel. Jess grabbed her chest as she grabbed the very first picture which was her high school picture. "Oh…My God…"
"What are you doing in here." Jess turned around to see Ulquiorra staring at her. "W-What is this!?" Jess asked holding the pictures. "You need to leave." "No! Not until you tell me what the fuck this is! Why do you have so many pictures of Oichi!? Are…Are you stalking her!?" Ulquiorra didn't answer. Jess covered her mouth. "You are…aren't you…!" She looked over the closet and the feeling of disgust started to hit her but not quicker then the feeling of anger. She pushed Ulquiorra out the closet. "What the hell is wrong with you! Why have you been stalking Oichi!" She held up the high school picture. "Have you been watching her since High School!" Ulquiorra sighs and turn his head. "No, don't not turn your head from me. You answer me NOW!" She yelled out.
"Very well…if you want the truth, I will tell you. Sadly, I hope it would never come to this." He looked at her. "Yes, I have been watching Oichi Yamamoto for a very long time. For years I have been trying to work up the courage to make me mine, but this is the closest I could get. Then you came into the picture." Jess eyes widen. She could feel her heart shaking. "Since you were her close friend and you didn't know the others to well you were the perfect tool to use. Once I got close to you, I could get close to Oichi and once I had her I would feel complete." Jess bit her lip. "A tool? You were just using me? In your sick little game?" "Yes, I didn't think you would fall so hard for a man you truly didn't even know. Sad really." Jess gripped her fists as her anger boiled over. "Since I am sharing everything I might as well say this. The reason Oichi was so scared of me is because I was indeed her attacker that night. Luckily for me I hit her head so hard that she couldn't remember me. I must thank you for talking that out of her." That was it. It was all Jess needed to hear now. She glared deadly at Ulquiorra her eyes just spelled death. The next thing Ulquiorra knew Jess fist had connect to his jaw. He felt something crack before the force sent him flying wall through wall and finally on the outside.
Inside the house Jess was breathing heavily. She could hear someone screaming outside. She regains her bearings and with a sadden and broken heart she quickly collected all of her things and left the house. She sped off back home. She didn't want too but she needed to tell Oichi and apologize to her. She told Oichi, made her believe that Ulquiorra wasn't a threat to her. She brought him over and had him get close to Oichi so that they could be friends only for him to stalk her more easily. She felt so used and cheated. Her heart was hearing and now the tears were flowing. They streamed down her cheeks hot and boiling from anger but at the same time sad and heartbroken.
At the house, Oichi and Grimmjow were enjoying their time together. It was just them tonight and Grimmjow was loving every bit of it. He kissed Oichi on the cheek making her giggle. "Stop it you horn ball. You can at least wait until I showered. I feel all sweaty." "What's the point in taking a bath when you're just going to ger dirty again." He kissed her. She moans into the kiss. "You know we won't be able to have to much sex right?" She mumbles through the kiss. Grimmjow pulled back. "That's a bunch of bull. I know plenty of women who had sex up until they had their kid." Oichi rolled her eyes. "Yeah but I don't risk anything with the twins." Grimmjow ruffled his head. "Alright then I get to fill up on you until then okay? No complaints." He says kissing her neck.
Suddenly they heard the door open and slam shut. It made them jump as Jess walked in the living room looking a wreak in her kimono set. Oichi's eyes widen. "Jess!? What happened to you!?" Jess sniffled and had her head down like she didn't want to look at Oichi. "Jess?" Grimmjow frowned. "What the hell are you wearing? Did Ulquiorra break your feelings again or something?" Just hearing his name Jess quickly broke down in tears. She slid to the floor on her knees. Grimmjow and Oichi was shocked at this. "Go! Get her up!" Oichi says panicking. "Okay, Okay, calm down." Grimmjow says. He grabbed Jess by her arm and pulled her to the couch. "Grimmjow can you trying to be a bit fucking gentle with her!" Oichi says snapping at him. "Chill! I said I got it!" Oichi sent a glare at him that make shivers go up and down his spine. "S-Sorry…" He sat Jess beside Oichi gently. "Now go make her some tea!" Oichi says pointing to the kitchen. Grimmjow sighs and nods. "Fuck…so sexy when she orders me around." He mumbles.
Oichi grabbed Jess's hand and held it. She waited until Jess calmed down. "Jess? Sis? Tell me what's wrong. What happened?" Jess looked up at her. Her makeup was running down her cheeks with her tears. "I'm sorry." She says. "No need to be sorry sis. Just tell me what happened. Why are you crying?" Jess bit her lip. "No, I'm sorry for…for doing this to you." Oichi raised her eyebrow. "Jess you know I hate beating around the bush. Tell me what happened." Jess sniffled. "I…I was going to surprise him for his birthday. We had a heartfelt moment and told him that I had fallen for him." Oichi frowned. 'Did he reject her…' Grimmjow came back and leans on the kitchen doorway waiting for the tea. "I thought that this would be enough to make him happy and we can bring in his birthday together. S-So I called him to the room and went to go hid in the closet…" Her tears rushed down her cheek more. "I…I found pictures." "Pictures?" Grimmjow frowned. 'I hope she doesn't meant 'those' pictures'
"Pictures of what?" Oichi asked. Jess looked at her. "Pictures of you Oichi! He has been stalking you since high school!" "Say what!?" Grimmjow yells out. There wasn't a lot of emotion in Oichi's face. It was hard to tell if she was processing this. "Stalking me? Like…watching my every move stalk me?" Jess nodded. "The fucker had so many pictures of you Oichi! Recent ones, older ones, even of you in high school! I couldn't believe it! I swear I had no idea! I promise you! If I had any idea that he was like that then…" "Shh…calm down Jess. Your going to make yourself sick. "There is more." Jess says. "The night you were attacked…it was him Oichi. Ulquiorra attacked you." Grimmjow felt his rage boil over. Without even thinking he grabbed the keys to the new care Dante had broke Oichi and left, slamming the door. Oichi didn't even have a chance to stop him. She sighs. Jess broke down again. "He used me to get close to you Oichi. I was the one who made you get over your fears of him and forced you two to get close. I should have known something was wrong when I saw the fear in your eyes! I feel so horrible and terrible." Oichi smiles and rubs her back. "Is it because even after everything he has done and said you still love him?" Jess tensed up and looked at Oichi. "Oichi…I…I'm sorry." Oichi rubs her hair down and pulled it to the side. "You don't need to be sorry Jess. I'm not mad at you." She grabbed a comb and combs her hair out straight before starting to braid it. "I had decided a long time ago that I would forgive who ever attacked me. I hold no ill bearings specially now that I'm pregnant. Trying to avoid negative emotions you know. I thought maybe my attacker was so desperate for something that he saw me as an easy target. I'm just thankful that he didn't end my life right there."
She finished braiding Jess's hair to its natural style. "The stalking and stuff I'm not sure how to really cope with that. It's creepy and it give me the chills." Jess grabbed Oichi by her arms. "Oichi…I know this selfish of me and I have no right to ask but please forgive Ulquiorra. Please don't have him arrested. Please!" Oichi rubbed Jess's arms. "I'm sorry Jess but that last part is already out of my hands." She held up Jess's bruise knuckle. "You must have lost your temper and hit him harder then you realize. People are going to hear and see that and call the police. They will find the pictures and after that Ulquiorra's fate is out of both our hands. Jess bit her lip and placed her head on Oichi's shoulder as she cries. Oichi rubs her head. "There, there, it's okay. I'm sure everything is going to work out fine."
Later that night, Oichi had given Jess some tea and sent her up to bed so she could wait for Grimmjow. Oichi sighs as she got a text from Momo saying that Toshiro was heading to Ulquiorra's place. The story that was given was that someone broke in and attacked Ulquiorra. Luckily the attention was all on Ulquiorra that no one noticed Jess leave. Oichi asked her to keep her updated. She then heard the door open and Grimmjow walked in. "Calmed down?" She asked. Grimmjow tossed the keys on the table and sat down beside her. "She gave him a broken jaw." He says. Oichi sighs. "So now what?"
Grimmjow leans back. "When I got there the police were already inside. It's only a matter of time until they come to you about this and you know that when you are involved the case gets passed over to that shrimp's squad." Oichi rubs her cheek. "What about Jess?" "From what I heard no one saw anything but Ulquiorra flying out the house. They didn't even notice Jess leaving or knew she was there." Oichi rubbed her hands together. "Are you mad at me?" Oichi asked. Grimmjow raised his eyebrow. "What are you talking about?" "Jess asked me not to press charges about him attacking me and stalking me. I had already decided not to." Grimmjow wrapped an arm around her. "It's your choice babe. If it was any other guy I'd say yeah. Fucking go for it, but I saw it. Something was changing with Ulquiorra. He is annoying as hell but, he isn't a bad guy…Plus, this is kind of similar about what happen to us." Oichi grabbed his hand. "Your maturing." "I've always been mature. The only thing that is pissing me off now is that your name is going to be in the news and your going to get hounded by the fucking media. I hated it the last time it happened." Oichi leans on his shoulder. "You'll protect me right?" "Damn straight I will." He says placing an arm around her.
That next morning, Toshiro was over with Rangiku talking to Oichi and Jess. Up front Jess told them everything. She hated lying and even though she loved Ulquiorra she wasn't about to lie to everyone and say he didn't do what he did. He needed to own up to his mistakes and learn the hard way just like everyone else in this world. Toshiro showed Oichi the photo's that were collected from not only his closet but his phone and laptop to. Even around the house which baffled Oichi. It wasn't until Grimmjow pointed something out that they figured it out what it was.
"It's the necklace." He says. They looked at him. "How can you tell." "Look at the angle. It's zoomed in on Ulquiorra the most and Jess was always up under him." Jess bit her lip and took the necklace off. "He had given it to me on our date, before we made it official…" She hands it to Toshiro. "I understand. I will see that its returned to you." "No, you can keep…I don't want anything that was invading the private time of our home back. Do you have anymore questions for me?" Toshiro shook his head. Jess nodded and went to her room. Oichi looked at Toshiro. "Is anything going to happen to Jess?" "Unless Ulquiorra pressed charges no not really. Plus, we don't have any evidence of her hitting him like that. Other then what she says. I'm not pushing it really, we got another one of Aizen's boys in lockdown so I would like to keep this one. It would help us out greatly if you were to press charges for this." Oichi smiles. "I think you already know the answer to that.' Toshiro sighs out. "Yeah but it was worth a try." He gets up and collect the pictures. "Sorry for the bother and don't worry, we made sure the media is staying out of it." "Thank you, Toshiro. You too Rangiku." Rangiku hugged her. "Of course. I'll work hard. I'm no slacker!" "Hmmf…tell that to the endless amount of paper work on my desk." Rangiku chuckled and walked out after him. Oichi titled her head a bit. "What's up?" "Doesn't Rangiku look like she's glowing? Like glowing more then usual?" Grimmjow shrugs. "I don't keep up with you woman like that." Oichi shook her head. "Maybe she got a boyfriend or something. I'd really like to know." She held out her arms signaling for Grimmjow to help her up. "Thanks hun." Oichi says smiling.
"Going upstairs to Jess?" Oichi nodded. "You have work right?" "Yeah, just be careful and call me when you need me." Oichi nods again as he helps her up the stairs. Oichi knocks on Jess door and then pushes it open. Jess was sitting on the floor sketching with her headphones on. She saw Oichi out the corner of her eye. "Jess! I'm taking a nap on your bed okay!" Oichi says smiling. "Sure, make yourself comfortable." Oichi giggled as Grimmjow helped her on the bed and handed her a pregnancy pillow. He kissed her on the forehead and watched as she drifted off to sleep fairly quickly.
He then got up to leave. "You were right." Jess says. Grimmjow turns to her. "I was falling over a man who I truly didn't even know. You were right." Grimmjow says nothing. "Well aren't you going to shove it in my face or something? I said you were right." Grimmjow rolled his eyes. "I already knew I was right dummy, but you don't see me slamming it in your face over and over." Jess sighs. "Look, Ulquiorra is a piece of shit for what he did. He hurt Oichi and stalked her but Oichi has already forgiven him and she doesn't want to make a huge deal of this. Of course, I'll fuck him up for laying a hand on her but for the most part…Oichi had to go through this with me. When she found out that I was killing people and even saw what I did she did think about leaving me, but she didn't. She stuck by me even though all the rumors, backlash, and tears. Hell, she even lost her job because of me and yet she took a chance on a murderer like me." Jess starts to tear up. "If you truly love Ulquiorra and you really wish to be with him like how Oichi wanted to be with me then you won't give up on him. You'll stick this out all the way and stand by him. If you want the answers to why he did those things, then ask him. Show him how much you care for him and then promise to never leave his side." Jess sniffs and looks at him. "D-Did you tell Oichi about your past?" Grimmjow narrowed his eyes at her and then looked at Oichi. He then chuckled and turned around. "I wanted to, but she told me that it didn't matter. All that matter was me and her looking forward to creating a new future together. It sucks sometime but then again that's part of the fun of starting over. He left the room, leaving the door open.
Jess placed her hand over her mouth as tear ran down her cheeks. She had tried to hate Ulquiorra, she even tried to tear apart all the sketches she did of him and toss everything she could that reminded her of him, but she couldn't do it. Her heart hurt every time she tried, and she couldn't bear the pain. She soon heard a pat on the bed. She turned around to see a tired Oichi patting the bed. Jess puts her things down and lays on the bed beside her. Oichi grabbed her hand and placed it on her stomach. Jess smiled when she felt tiny kicks hit her hand. "They know when their Godmother is sad. So, stop crying and be happy already." Jess chuckled through her sniffs. "It's okay to love him. Don't try to break it. Silly." "Even if he is a threat to you?" Oichi shrugs. "Then between you or Grimmjow can kick his ass." Jess laughs as she rubbed Oichi's stomach coaxing her back to sleep.
