Grimmjow was looking down in two light blue and green cribs at his twin girls. They were sleeping peacefully. He made sure the baby monitor was on so that they could here them in the room. He then tip toed out the room and closed the door leaving a crack in it. The twin's room were right beside their bedroom so that they wouldn't have to be moving around so much to get to them. Grimmjow opened the door to the bedroom to see Oichi sleeping as well. Walking up to her he sat on her side of the bed and rubbed her cheek. Her belly was still quite round but with a lot of exercise she would slim back into her normal figure. Though Grimmjow didn't mind her size at all. There was a light knock at the door and Jess opened the door. "Hey." She whispered. "You heading to work?" Jess nodded and walked in. She was wearing a green graphic tee with black shorts and green flats. She had on a green beaded bracelet that said 'Lucky' a green necklace and ring. Her nails were also painted green along with the make up on her face.

Grimmjow rolled his eyes. "Aren't you doing a bit to much…" Jess chuckles. "It's Saint Patties day. Gotta go all out you know. Anyways do you mind if I peak at the twins?" "Sure, but if you wake them your putting them back to sleep." Jess smiled. "Of course, I will. Also, I wanted to talk to you about…" Just then she felt something brush against her leg. She looked down to see Pantera walking by her. "Aw she's just to cute!" Pantera walked up to Grimmjow and put her paw on his leg looking at him. "Looks like she's hungry." "A bunch of bull. I just fed her." Pantera rubbed her head on Grimmjow's leg. "Good grief. She wants to lay up here with Oichi." "Then let her." Jess says crossing her arms. "Don't be an idiot. You know how Oichi is with kittens and cat. I don't need her freaking out when she sees Pantera lying beside her." Jess huffs out. "Then how to we get her use to her?" "You of all people should know that it isn't going to be easy." Jess pouted at him and then sighs out. "True…" Grimmjow picked up Pantera in one hand and rubbed her head. She softly meowed as she was petted. Jess then felt something rush by her leg. She saw Damien running in excitedly. He barks lightly. "Shhh Damien." Grimmjow says. Damien wags his tail and sits on the floor waiting.

Jess giggles at this. "So cute. Anyways, I wanted to talk about getting a pet as well." "Okay?" Grimmjow says. "I want to get a kitten as well." Grimmjow frowns. "No, we are already dealing with one kitten. We aren't getting another one." "No fair…I think I should be able to get a kitten to." "If this were your house then sure, but it isn't. Oichi doesn't need the stress of having two damn cats in here. Better yet, instead of asking me, how about you ask Oichi when she wakes up." Jess frowned. She knew there was even a less chance of Oichi saying yes. That's why she decided to ask Grimmjow. Jess sighs. "Fine whatever…" She says a bit down. "I'm leaving." She walks out and closes the door.

Walking to the twin's room, she grumbled out upset. "He always has to bring up 'if this were your house' or 'Your living here as a guest, so you can always leave.' Ugh…maybe it is time for me to leave. Oichi is starting to have her whole family now. I don't want to be in the way of that…" She carefully pushes the door open and walks up to the crib. She smiles brightly when one of the twins, Naomi, was up and looking around. "Aw, looks like you fooled your daddy." She picked Naomi up, making her eyes widen slightly. "It's okay sweetie. I'm your auntie Jess remember." She starts rocking Naomi and hums a song. Naomi yawns as she starts to fall back to sleep. When she dozed off Jess kisses her forehead and lays her back down in her crib. "You both are so cute…" She rubbed her stomach. "I hope I get the chance of being a mother as well one day." She quietly took her leave and headed to work.

In Jess's room, Ulquiorra was on her laptop. Oichi had given him the flash drives she had gotten from Starrk and he had been going over what was on there. On the first drive it was everything Starrk had done for Aizen but under different names. On the second drive it had all Aizen's future plans of what he was striving to do. It didn't have anyone else's name in it other then Aizen's so if he turned this in then only Aizen would take the fall. "Clever as always…" He heard the door opened and Grimmjow walked in with Pantera in his arms. "So? What are they?" Ulquiorra leans back. "Information that could be useful to us. If we turned it in, then Aizen is surely going to prison…" Grimmjow looks at the laptop. "I see…can you make a copy of it?" "I could but what are you doing?" "It's just good to have a back file on these types of things. Anything could happen as you already know. We could go give it to the center and then somehow the files can go missing. If they do, then we would already have a back up file on it." Ulquiorra handed him the two flash drives. "I had already made plenty of copies and I also used your account to send the files to Oichi's father." Grimmjow frowned and took the drives. "Then why the hell didn't you already say so!" "I wanted to make sure you were thinking this through of course. You were an idiot when we were younger. I just wanted to make sure your brain was working." Grimmjow growled at him and then huffed out. "Whatever, I'll call Toshiro over here and handed them over." He turned to leave. "A moment Grimmjow." Grimmjow glanced back. "What is it?" "I would like for you to get into contact with your boss. I would like to work under him for some time." "Oh? What for?" "Well clearly, I can't go and get a normal job just yet, with our records it wouldn't work. You and Nel both have your records cleared. If I work under this man, then maybe my record will be cleared as well." Grimmjow turns back to him. "You want to work for Dante to clear your record?" "That's not all…" He leans back into the chair. "I want to make Jess happy. I know she has enough money to buy her own house but…" "I get it…you want to take care of her. I'm a little shock that you care so much for her. You're not the type to express your feelings either." He rubbed his head. "There is a house down the way from here that may fit you and Jess. It's not super expensive but I'm sure we can help with covering the cost with you and keep it under the bar, so Jess won't know. You do have your pride as a man now I guess." He put his hand in his pocket.

"As for a job you can come work for me until Dante gets back. He's overseas doing who knows what. We need a contactor to work in all our business deals. Since this company is new, they don't really care about what you did or how many times you went to jail or anything. It's good side money." "Why are you helping me?" Ulquiorra asked. Grimmjow sighs. "Oichi said…everyone deserves a second chance. So, this is yours. Don't screw it up…Tomorrow we can go look at the house, and see how much it is, start the paperwork on it and if we need to change some things, we fix it ourselves." Ulquiorra nodded. "Very well… He looks at the laptop. 'A second chance…'

The next day, Oichi was home alone with the twins. She was downstairs working out with the TV muted as the twins laid in their bouncer sleeping. Pantera was on her kitty bed watching Oichi. Damien was laying next to the twins, wagging his tail. Last night, Grimmjow had told her about the conversation he and Ulquiorra had. She thought it would be a wonderful surprise for Jess. She was sure Jess was already thinking about moving out which made her a little sad but, she understood. Jess might have felt she would be getting in the way when more kids came into the picture and she was probably ready to start on her own future with Ulquiorra. Oichi smiled. "I wonder if Ulquiorra is willingly to become a family man. I can't wait to see all the kids they may have haha."

Ichigo and Orihime were over at Renji's and Rukia's house having lunch. Ichika and Kazui were playing on the play mat. "Thanks for joining us for lunch." Rukia says. Orihime smiled. "Of course, Rukia." "How is the wedding planning going?" Ichigo sighs. "Well we might change the date to November. We both are still saving up money and since we got the house, we had to dip into our savings a bit." Renji frowned. "The center should be paying you well…you both work there and they have connections to other workforces outside it." "True, but I'm not trying to owe the center anymore then I need…hell they already helped us get a car so we wouldn't have to move…" Ichigo sighs. Orihime placed a hand on his. "It's just going to take a little longer with the planning and that's okay. I'm in no rush. I have both you and Kazui and that's way more then I could ask for." Ichigo smiled and kissed the back of her hand. "You are to modest but don't worry, we will have the wedding of your dreams soon enough."

Rukia smiled at them and then looked down. "Ichigo…I owe you an apology." Ichigo looked at her. "For what?" Rukia sighs and looks at him. "For what happened between us. I've been apologizing to Oichi for the longest that I didn't even concerned about your feelings in this as well." Ichigo shrugs. "Oh yeah, well all is forgiven. It's all in the past. Hey, have you guys heard about the new school that's coming here?" Rukia was a bit lost. She had prepared a full speech for Ichigo and even practice it with Renji. Renji chuckled and pats her back. "Yeah, it's a buzz all around the center. Oichi, Jushiro, and Shunsui will be working on it." Orihime chuckled and looked at Ichika and Kazui playing together. "Oichi was very passionate about it. She wants all of the children here to get the best education they can. Unlike when we were younger. The teachers we had were good and all but it's not like they helped us with the deciding factor on what we should be thinking about when we get out of school. Most of us are either living on the streets with no job or money, in prison, working in a job they don't want and so much more. I think if we had a better school system at least our children will be able to get that help."

Rukia smiled. "I applied for a teacher job there for the middle schoolers." Orihime nodded. "I did as well! For the daycare section though. Ichigo applied for the sports teacher and subs teachers." Renji sips on his drink. "You all are getting excited, but it will be a while before the school even starts construction." "So? They already have a long list of people applying that way when the school is fully built, we can start right away." Renji shrugs. "Well you guys have fun with that. I am curious how it's going to look and everything. No doubt it will be great though."

At Nel's house, Nnoitra was laying on the couch while Grayson was sitting on the floor eating a fruit bar, watching cartoons. Nnoitra sighs and looked at the bed room door. Nel was in the shower and he wanted to join her, but he got kicked out. He groans out and looks at the TV. Grayson was watching looney toons, the older version. He was currently giggling as he watched bugs bunny and daffy outsmart the hunter. Within seconds Nnoitra was sucked into it. He never really watched cartoons like that but staying here and watching Grayson sometimes he ended up finding some good ones. Especially late at night on Saturday's.

The bathroom door opened and Nel walked out, in a pink t-shirt and black shorts. "What do you guys want to eat tonight?" She called out. "Food!?" Grayson says looking at her. Nnoitra sits up. "Are you cooking or ordering out?" "Ordering out duh, I only cook on Thursdays." Nnoitra rolled his eyes. "I'd like a home cook meal every night and not just once a night woman." "Well to bad. If you want to live here and get in these pants every night your going to have to suck it up and deal with it." "Chicken!" Grayson says smiling. "Chicken it is!" Nel says smiling happily. Nnoitra got up. "What!? We had chicken last night! If we are ordering out can we get something else beside chicken…" He rubbed his chin. "Or…can't you get someone else to cook it?" Nel narrowed her eyes. "You want Oichi's cooking." Nnoitra sat back down. "Hell, yeah I do. I mean she cooks every night, don't she? She's always so inviting so we can pop over when ever we want. Plus, Grayson can spend some time with his sisters." "SISSY!" Grayson got up and ran to Nel. "We go!? See Sissys!" He says excitedly. Nel shot a glare at Nnoitra who chuckled. That was the magic word for Grayson. Just say one word about the twins and he would be ready to see them.

Nel sighed. "Okay sweetie, go sit back down and I'll call your auntie." Grayson laughs and walks back to the TV. Nel grabbed her phone and dialed Oichi's number. She waited as it rung three times. Oichi then picks up. "Hi Nel." Oichi says a bit out of breath. "You working out?" Nel says taking a seat in the kitchen. "Yea, while I got the house to myself and twins are sleeping. What's up?" "Well…the boys and I were wondering if you were cooking tonight?" "It's my turn to cook but we haven't decided on what to eat yet. Why? Do you want to come over and join us?" Nel sighs. "If it isn't to much trouble." "Bah…you know your welcomed over here at any time. What do the want to eat?" "Chicken." Oichi giggled. "Gray?" "Yup." "Okay, Chicken it is. Dinner will be ready around 7:30. Don't be late." "Thanks, Oichi, you need me to pick something us?" "Hmm…I guess whatever else you want me to cook." "Alright, see you then." She then heard crying over the phone. "Looks like they are up." Oichi sighs. "Yeah…Gotta go." She says hanging up. Nel chuckled. "Good luck with that." She walked over to the couch and sat beside Nnoitra. "See was that so hard?" "Yes, it was, I'm sure Oichi doesn't want us coming over every other day to eat." "Well fucking cook woman!" Nel smacked him. "Watch your mouth around my son and I don't cook every night because it's a damn hassle. Plus, Grayson is such a picky eater. I don't feel like hearing him fuss. How about you learn how to cook and cook for us sometime! Heck go get lessons from Grimmjow or something!" Nnoitra frowned. "Ain't no way I'm asking that guy for anything!" Nel crossed her arms. "Since you are making a big deal of this cooking then, you better go find a way to cook us a home cook meal or you can sleep on the couch for the rest of your days!" She got up. "What!?" "That means no bed, No S-e-x, No nothing! Until you can cook me and Grayson something!" She turned on her heels and stormed off. Grayson giggled as she left. Nnoitra frowned and lays back on the couch. "Like hell I'm gonna do that. I can wait this out until she gives up."

Grimmjow was smoking as he stood outside a house waiting for Ulquiorra to get done. The house he brought him to was walking length to their house so Jess and Oichi wouldn't be to far apart from each other. It was a large gray home that had it's on private driveway. It was 5,679 sqft with 5 beds 7 baths. It had 25-foot-high ceilings, a Mediterranean style pool complete with covered patio and outdoor grilling area, a Large Bonus Multimedia Room for personal Theatre that was newly included from the last owners. It had up to about 16 rooms that could be used. It didn't cost much and Ulquiorra could buy it now if he wanted since he had more then enough. He blew out smoke and sighs out. "Oichi looked so damn sad when she learned about this. Tisk…I'll just have to pound more kids in her, so she doesn't feel so sad then." He heard the door opened and Ulquiorra and a man walked out. They shook hands and she handed him the keys. "You will not be disappointed in this sir. If you have any issues, then please call me and I'll help you to the best of my ability." Ulquiorra nodded. "Thank you." He walked to Grimmjow. "There are a few things I would like to change about the house. Are you still willingly to help me?" Grimmjow nodded. "Sure, let's get this crap done already."

The superhero shop was packed today. They were having a sell on all superhero that wore green and if you came in with green on you could get a 50% discount on your purchases. Jess was in the restaurant shop running back and forth with food in her hands. Yuzu and Jinta were in the kitchen were keeping up with her pace with the orders. On the sales floor, Karin and Riruka were at the front of the shop at the check out line. Izzy and Yushiro were on the sales floor selling up all the items and getting the word out about the discount. Nova was near the back stocking up everything.

Izzy and Yushiro had started dating at the end of February. They didn't do much other then go to lunch every now and then and jog twice a week now. On Sunday mornings and on Tuesday nights. It was something about the night jogs that Izzy loved and found more romancing. She had told both Izzy and Oichi about them and as promise they didn't interfere with her relationship. Since Yushiro had an apartment of his own she did stay a few nights over there but other then watching movies and playing some games they didn't do much. It actually made Izzy a bit nervous. She had many boyfriends before, and it didn't take them to long to find themselves in bed. She was starting to think they maybe Yushiro wasn't interested in sex. She knew that sex wasn't everything in a relationship, but it did help every now and then. Before she jumped into conclusion, she was going to ask Oichi about the matter. She didn't want to be so pushy and cause a rift between her and Yushiro because of this.

Around 6:30, the shop was calming down and the night shift workers came in to switch. Jinta and Nova, and Riruka were staying and the others were leaving tonight. Izzy was in the locker room changing with Jess and Karin when she sighs out. Jess looked at her. "You okay Izzy?" Izzy puts her pants on. "I guess so…" Karin chuckled. "It's about Yushiro isn't it? What's up?" "It's nothing…I'm just going to ask Oichi about it." Jess put hair in a ponytail and gathered her things. "Maybe I can help?" Izzy looked at Jess and then sighs. "I guess…since you do have a boyfriend and all." Karin frowned. "Oh, so what am I? Chopped liver because I don't have a guy?" Izzy looked at her. "No because you're still a virgin." Karin frowned. "H-How would you know that!" "Because you told me so. You said if I ever had any sex related questions to not bring them to you." Jess chuckled. "Well to be honest Ulquiorra is the first and only guy I've slept with." Izzy sighs. "Great…so back to square one." Jess crossed her arms. "Well Oichi has only been with two guys before." "Yeah but she's had a lot more sex then you and have kids so she's more experience then you. No offense." Jess sighs. "True but maybe this isn't about experience. You and Yushiro are a new couple after all." Izzy sits down. "…fine…I just wanted to know if it was normal for a guy not to want have sex or could he have no interest in sex…" Karin rolled her eyes. "My gosh Izzy you are such a horn ball. You've only been dating for a few weeks." Izzy blushed. "I get that, but I've been freaking pent up since I moved here!" Jess laughed. "Well it is normal for a guy to take it slow. He might not want to push you into it just yet or he could be a virgin himself." Izzy signs out. "Yeah…I mean it's not a big deal or anything I just…" Jess walks over to her hand sits down beside her. "You're like your sister in everyway you know. You both are a couple of horn balls with your men." Izzy blushed. "Maybe you should throw sighs his way. Like be a little up closer to him, or throw some charm his way, some hints or something." Karin says. Izzy rubs her head. "Maybe, but it's whatever…Like I said its not all that important. I've just been with other guys who wanted to do it within the few weeks we dated it. I'm not use to taking it slow like this." Jess frowned. "So really one-night stands?" "I've had those to but that's not the point." She stood up. "The point is, if Yushiro wants to take it slow with me then I'll also slow it down. Maybe this is a good lesson for me or something." Jess gets up. "Which ever you pick, just know that me and Oichi are always here if you need any advice." Izzy nodded. "Thank you." She grabbed her things and opened the door. She stepped out and close the door behind her. "Izzy." Izzy jumped to see Yushiro standing at the side. "Y-Yushiro? What are you doing?" Yushiro chuckled. "I'm here to walk you to your car." "Oh…I didn't drive today. Flo brought me. I have to call her." "I can take you home." He says smiling. Izzy smiled back. "Okay. Thank you." He held his hand out to her. Izzy took it and they walked to the front. Jess and Karin walked out. "You think he heard?" Karin asked. "Yeah, these walls aren't thick…you could hear someone whispering if it was silent. I hope he doesn't take what she said the wrong way." Jess says.

At home, Oichi was in the kitchen cooking. Grimmjow and Ulquiorra were back and were feeding the twins. Oichi had told Grimmjow that Nel and the boys were coming over and surprisingly he didn't have any issues with it. Tonight, they were having fried, baked, and boiled chicken with some greens, mash potatoes, and other veggies. On for dessert Oichi's strawberry short cake. In the living room Ulquiorra was feeding Naomi for the first time since Jess usually did it. He looked a bit uneasy. Grimmjow chuckled at him as he fed Alisha. The twins were working on their third bottle. Just like Oichi figured. They were a bunch of gluttons just like her. They heard the door open and Jess walked in sighing. "So nice to be home finally." She put her keys down and walked into the living room. Her eyes went to Ulquiorra and she gasps. "Aw! Your feeding her!" Jess rushed over and sat down beside Ulquiorra. "So cute!" Ulquiorra held Naomi up to her. "Here, you can take her." Jess smiled and took Naomi carefully and went on to feed her. He got up and headed into the kitchen. "I guess he didn't like it…" Jess says. "He's still new to it. He'll get use to it sooner or later." Grimmjow says switching an empty bottle with another full on. "Ah my little girls can eat." Jess giggled. "Danni said Oichi did the same thing. It was hard keeping her fed sometimes." Grimmjow chuckled. "I don't mind it. Have to deal with a bunch of gluttons at work so I can work my way around that." There was a knock at the door. "Did you lock the door behind you?" Jess shook her head. "It's open!" Grimmjow yelled out.

They heard the door opened. "SISSY!" They heard Grayson yell. Jess chuckled. "Looks like Grayson is here. They heard his feet running this way and then saw him run around the couch. "Daddy! Sissy!" He made his way to Grimmjow and pulled on his leg to get himself on the couch. "I hold! I hold daddy!" Grayson says with excitement in his eyes. Nel and Nnoitra walked in. "Grayson hun, calm down. They have to be feed first." "It's fine." Grimmjow says. He grabs a pillow and hands it to Grayson. Grayson takes it and puts it in the corner of the couch. He then sat back and pat his legs. "Ready Daddy! I hold!" "Remember no yelling Grayson. Your going to startle her." "Ok Daddy." Grayson says. Grimmjow slid over and placed Alisha in Grayson lap. "Hold her head okay." Grayson nodded and carefully held Alisha while Grimmjow fed her. "Good boy." Grimmjow says. Nel smiled and walked into the kitchen. Nnoitra sat on the couch. "Well now you got three brats. How's it feel?" "Feels the same as always. When you finally stop being an ass maybe you can have on of your own." Nnoitra shrugs. "If it happens it happens." "Yeah, you say that now. Just wait for it."

Jess shook her head until she heard Naomi starting to fuss. She looks down to see an empty bottle. "Oh no, I'm sorry sweetie. I wasn't paying attention. Grimmjow I need another bottle." "Oichi! We need a refill!" Grimmjow called out. They saw Ulquiorra walking out with four extra bottles. He handed two to Jess and place the other two on the table beside Grimmjow. "You helpin' cooking pretty boy?" Nnoitra says chuckling. "From what I heard you should be the one helping with cooking." Grimmjow turned to Nnoitra. "You in the dog house huh. Ha." Nnoitra frowned. "I'm not. Nel is blowing this out of context." "What did you do?" Jess asked. "I told her to fucking cook." Grimmjow frown. "Watch your mouth in front of the kids. Have some freaking restraints." Nnoitra rolled his eyes. "Hearing that from you makes me kinda sick but whatever. I told her to 'freaking' cook. I get tired of eating out every day and on the one day she cooks, she cooks Chicken for Grayson over there. Then she threw a hissy fit and said that If I don't cook a home cooked meal then no bed play for me and I'm stuck on the couch."

Jess and Grimmjow laughed making him frown. "What's so damn funny!" "The fact that you're an idiot…" Ulquiorra says walking back into the kitchen. "Just go cook her something. Hell, eggs, bacon, grits. Something simple. Home cook. Even Ulquiorra can fry a egg." Jess chuckled. "Or fry a burger. A home cook meal isn't all that hard. Your just being stubborn and you need to put in some consideration on how Nel feels. Nnoitra rolled his eyes. "How hard is it to cook for two people?" "That's a good question. I guess you will be finding out soon enough." Grimmjow says. Nnoitra grumbled something under his breath. Grayson looked down at Alisha and frowned. "Sissy done." Grimmjow looked down to see Alisha not eating. He took it away. "Done daddy?" "Yeah. You did a good job." He rubs Grayson's head. Grayson giggles. Grimmjow puts a light blue towel over his shoulder and went to burp Alisha. Grayson slips off the couch and runs to Jess. "Me feed sissy!" He says bouncing. Jess smiled. "Sorry Gray. She's already done." Jess says pulling the bottle away from Naomi. Grayson frowned. "Noooo…." "You can feed her next time okay?" Grayson huffed his cheeks out at Jess and stomped off to the kitchen. "My, he's like you in every way." Jess says chuckling at Grimmjow. "That's a good thing." Grimmjow says hearing a burp from Alisha. "Why isn't Oichi breast feeding again?" Jess asked. "She did for a while but she said she rather use the breast pump. It's much easier on her I guess and so long as they girls are eating I'm fine with that." He leans back with Alisha resting in his arms. Jess was busy burping Naomi. Ulquiorra watched her before he went back in the kitchen.

When dinner was done, Oichi brought Grimmjow and herself a plate. The twins were sat in their bouncers and Grayson was sitting at his new kiddy table Grimmjow had brought. Ulquiorra brought himself and Jess a plate and Nel brought her and Grayson a plate but not Nnoitra. "No plate for me?" Nel ignored him and sat Grayson's plate down in front of him. Nnoitra snitched his teeth and got up to make his own plate. Grimmjow found a action movie for them to watch.

Damien trotted over by the twins and lays down between the bouncers. "Aw, hes already attached to them." Jess says smiling. "Yeah, he rarely leaves their side when we are home." Jess looks down and sighs mentally. She really wanted to ask Oichi if she could also get a kitten. She looked at Oichi, ready to ask, when they saw her jolt up and quickly lifted her feet with a fearful look on her face. They looked down to see Pantera where her feet was. She put her small front paws on the couch wanting to be picked up. Jess frowned. 'It's a lost cause I suppose…' Ulquiorra was watching her. He could read her expressions very easily. He looked at Oichi was being calmed down by Grimmjow. "Have you tried to hold her yet?" Ulquiorra asked. Oichi looked at him. "Huh?" "The kitten. Have you tried to hold her yet?" "Well…no…" "How do you expect to get use to her if you aren't trying?" Oichi frowned. "Watch it Ulquiorra. No one is forcing her to do anything she doesn't want to do." "Did you know that Jess wanted a kitten as well." Jess eyes widen and she looked at Ulquiorra. Oichi looked at Jess.

Jess rubbed her cheek. "I mean I do…but I understand your fear better then most. I wouldn't want to force you into anything you didn't want. Its clear that you haven't gotten use to them yet." Oichi looked down. "Sorry…" "So you will let your fear control you? Like last time." Ulquiorra says. Jess frowned at him. "Stop that. This is Oichi's home not ours. I cant force a yes out of her like that." "Your saying it's fair for Grimmjow to push the fact that you're here as a guest every time you ask for something? You were living here before he got out of prison. You haven't asked for anything so why should asking for a cat be rejected?" Nnoitra rolled his eyes. "Its just a fuc…freaking…cat. Just get one already. Keep it in your room or upstairs away from Oichi and everything should be fine right?" They looked at him and then at Oichi who felt a sting from Ulquiorra's words. "…I…guess so…" She says in almost a mumble. Jess kept her frowned. She felt like she bullied Oichi into getting a pet. Grimmjow was glaring at Ulquiorra for upsetting Oichi until they heard the twins fussing.

This happened a lot. When Oichi was upset they would get upset. Oichi sighs and looks down at Pantera who was still waiting to be picked up. Grimmjow put his plate on the small table and picked her up. He rubbed her head with his finger while Oichi got the twins. "I'm going to take them upstairs." She says. She left the living room and went upstairs. Jess bite her lip and placed her plate down. She then smacked Ulquiorra in the back of his head. It wasn't hard but she made it sting a bit. She then got up and went after Oichi. Nel shakes her head while Grimmjow and Nnoitra chuckled. Ulquiorra rubbed the back of his head.

Upstairs, Oichi was bouncing the twins. "It's okay. Mommy is fine see. Don't get upset." She hums out finally calming them down. "There, there." She goes and sits in the rocking chair and starts rocking. There was a soft knock on the door and Jess walked in. "Oichi?" "Hey Jess…" Jess walks up to her. "Need an extra pair of arms?" Oichi smiles and hands her Naomi. Jess grabs Naomi tiny hand. "Listen…don't let Ulquiorra words get to you. I know how you are with cats. It was wrong for me to try to put that on you." Oichi looks down at Alisha who was dozing off. "But he's not wrong. You haven't really asked for anything since coming here. Its only fair that you can have what you like for once." Jess smiles. "Not if you are having a heart attack everyday. I don't want to risk that." Oichi smiles. "Thank you for your concern but Ulquiorra is right. I…I'm a little nervous about it but you can get a kitten if that's what you really want. Eventually I'll get use to them both." Jess smiled back at her. "I'll take up on Nnoitra's idea. While I'm gone, I'll keep it in my room. Ulquiorra can keep an eye on it as well." Oichi nodded. "Okay also…could you speak to Ulquiorra about the comment he made…I get he was trying to make a point but…" "I will handle it. It was completely rude and not to mention he was the reason you were living in fear in the first place. I swear. Men just don't know how to control their mouths some times." Both the girls laughed.

Later that night, Oichi was tucking Grayson in bed. Nel let him stay over the night. "Wanna sleep with sissy! Please?" Oichi giggles. "You love your sister's a lot huh?" Grayson nodded. "My sissy. I be good. Sleep like good boy to." Oichi smiles and rubs his head. "Well you have been a good boy lately and you helped feed them. I guess for tonight you can share their room." Grayson pops up. "Yay!" Oichi held her arms out and he jumped into them. "You are getting better at forming your words to. I'm proud of you." Grayson giggles as they head to the twin's room. Grimmjow was in there watching the twins sleep. "Grimmjow?" Oichi whispers. He turned to see Oichi and Grayson. "What's up. He can't sleep?" "He wants to sleep in here with the twins." "I be good daddy." Grimmjow says whispering. Grimmjow chuckled and walked to the twin's closet. "We are going to have to get you a bed in here eventually. Since you sleep in here so much and not your room." He pulls out a small black futon and spreads it out into a bed. He then made it up and got it ready for Grayson who was rubbing his eyes. Oichi snuggled him. "Okay. Bed is ready." Oichi smiled and placed Grayson in bed. He yawns and gets comfortable while Oichi tucks him in again. Grimmjow checks on the twins and makes sure the baby monitor was working. Oichi kissed Grayson on the forehead. "Night sweetie." "Night night auntie." Oichi gets up and walks to the door and waits for Grimmjow. He looks over the twins once more and then walked out as well, closing the door and leaving a crack in it.

"I'm gonna miss when he stops saying night night to me." Oichi says sighing. Grimmjow chuckled. "Don't worry. I'll give you plenty of babies for that." Oichi blushed. "You're always going on about giving me more children." "You don't want anymore?" "I mean I do but hearing you say it so bluntly is a little embarrassing sometimes." Grimmjow chuckled and wrapped his arm around her waist. "I mean what I say. You gave me a chance at another life. One I can be happy in. A guy like me is quick to take advantage of that you know. Plus, I like seeing a bunch of mini me's running around and driving Nel nuts." Oichi laughed. "So, you want more babies to spite Nel?" "Meh, more or less. A part of it. A small part to a degree." Oichi shook her head. "Unbelievable."

In Jess's room, she had given Ulquiorra a ear full about his words to Oichi. While she was happy that he was on her side she didn't like how he went about it. She was currently getting out of the shower. Despite the lecture they were heading out to the pet tomorrow to get a kitten. She walked out in a towel, drying her hair. Ulquiorra was on her laptop looking up pets. "Oichi said she put in a good word at the shop she got her pets from." She says walking by. She drops her towel and puts on a pair of black underwear and a lace night gown. She then tossed the towel in the bin. Ulquiorra closed the laptop and turned to Jess who was getting in the bed. She had banded sex tonight because of his actions. He sighs mentally and joins her in bed.

The next morning, Jess and Ulquiorra had taken off to the pet store. Oichi was doing her regular work out on mute. The twins were earlier risers, so they were up, feed, and in their bouncers watching Oichi. Grimmjow was just coming downstairs with Grayson. Unlike his sister's he wasn't a morning person. Nel was stopping by to pick him up and take him to day care. Oichi had a meeting later today with the head, Jushiro, and Shunsui about the school and Grimmjow had to work on the shop now that the building plans were approved. The twins would be going with Oichi for the day. Grimmjow sighs out. "Are you sure you want to held back to work? Your still on leave you know." Oichi smiled. "It's just a meeting dear. Once I'm done there, I'm gonna stop by the office so that Alisha can see her Godfather and I'll be holding home. "You mean Hisagi? Since when was he her Godfather?" "Oh, did I forget to tell you about that?" Oichi says giggling. Grimmjow was about to say something until the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." Grimmjow says grumbling. Oichi smiled and turned the TV off.

Grimmjow was a little irked. 'How could she name that guy Alisha's Godfather without letting me know! Oooo I'll make sure she can't walk for a whole week.' He shakes his head and opens the door. He suddenly comes face to face with a tall and muscular man's with dark brown skin, brown dreads with red tips. He was wearing a black shirt with red vest jacket and blue Jean's. What caught Grimmjow of guard was his eyes. His eyes were golden yellow, and he was looking at Grimmjow with such intensity that Grimmjow broke out into a sweat. It was like staring into the eyes of a hungry wolf that was about to pounce. Out of pure instinct, Grimmjow was about to take a step back, something he rarely ever does. Just then Oichi came around the corner. "Grimmjow? Who's at the door?" The man's eyes shot up and Grimmjow felt his skin tingle and scream danger. As soon as Oichi walked to the door, He quickly stood in front of her protectively. "G-Grimmjow? What's going on?" Grimmjow eyes never left the mans. He could tell he was dangerous but how was he going to keep Oichi and the kids safe.

Suddenly the man smirked and chuckled. "Fine reflexes boy. I'm quite impressed." Oichi peaks over Grimmjow and smiles. "Grandpa!" She runs around Grimmjow and goes to hug him. 'Grandpa?' Oichi hugs the man. "I didn't know you were stopping by!" The man hugged her back. "Yes, well your grandmother wanted pictures of the twins and kicked me out the house." Oichi laughed. "Sounds like her." She pulled him in and led him to Grimmjow who was still on guard. "Grimmjow. This is my grandpa Ronnie Tanaka. My mom's dad. Grandpa this is my boyfriend and the twin's father, Grimmjow." Ronnie looked at Grimmjow and held a hand out. "Apologizes for staring you down. Old habits die hard." Grimmjow looked at his hand and took it. They shook. "You have a fine man Oichi. Now where are the twins?"

Oichi led Ronnie in the living room where the twins were making noises to themselves. Ronnie smiled and then looked at the couch to see Grayson laying down. "That's Grimmjow's son, Grayson." "I see…I suppose a picture of him will do as well. When you two get married he will become our grandchild." Oichi blushed. "Married?" Ronnie took his phone out. "Yes, your mother said your boyfriend made a claim that you two would be getting married eventually." Grimmjow smirked making Oichi blush harder.

Ronnie sits down in front of the twins and they both stare at him with curiosity. Ronnie picked up Naomi first. She gave him a cute smile and made sounds. "friendly and active. She'll be quite a open person. Free spirited like her mother." He says poking Naomi in her belly. She grabbed his finger. He smiled at her before putting her back down. He then picked up Alisha. Her eyes widen and she tensed up. "Hmmm…on guard. Curious on who I am. It would take a lot of trust to get her to open up. Get It from her father I assume." He rubbed her stomach gently and felt her started to relax a bit. He grabbed her hand and rubbed the back of it with his thumb. "It will take a lot to get on your good side, but I can tell your going to grow up with a big heart." Alisha flashed him a tiny smile. "There you go." Ronnie says rubbing her cheeks. He placed her back in the bounce. Both twins were smiling at him now. He used his phone to take a picture of them while they were smiling.

Over on the couch Grayson sat up and yawned. He rubbed the sleep out his eyes and looked around. He first located his sisters. "Sissy's…" He then looked at Ronnie and frowned. "Who you!" He yelled suddenly. His loud voice scared the twins and they both started to fuss. Grayson slides off the couch and charges at Ronnie. "Leave sissys alone!" He yelled swinging his arms. Oichi gasps. "Grayson stop that!" Grayson didn't listen and tried to hit Ronnie. He was picked up by the back of his shirt by Ronnie. "Down! Meanie face! Butt face!" Ronnie chuckled. "Quite a hot head. Something he gets from the father." Oichi sighs. "Sorry Grandpa. He is really protective over the girls." Grimmjow walked over to grabbed him. Just then Grayson gave Ronnie a nasty look. "You ass!" Oichi and Grimmjow's eyes widen. Ronnie shook his head. "Learning that type of language already huh?" Grayson opened his mouth to say it again. Oichi stormed over to him, pushing Grimmjow out the way. "What did you just say!?" She yelled out. Grayson jolted at her voice. He turned to see her with a very angry look. Grimmjow was also shocked by how angry she was. He was also kinda turned on but that was beside the point. The twins started to cry so he went to them instead.

Ronnie put Grayson down. He looked down and put his hands behind his back. "What did you just say?" Oichi says crossing her arms. "…" "Answer me when I am talking to you." Oichi says in a stern voice. Grayson starts to tear up. "…bad word…" "In the kitchen room now." Oichi says pointing. Grayson sniffs as he walks slowly to the kitchen dragging his feet. Oichi watched him go and then followed behind. Grimmjow was calming the girls down and sighed out in relief. Ronnie chuckled. "Quite scary yes?" Grimmjow nodded. "I've never seen her get mad before like that. I mean ass isn't all that bad." "True but if you let it go to many times its bound to let him think he can say whatever he wants. It's best to…" Just then they heard Grayson burst into tears. "…set that straight so no unavoidable mishaps can happen in the future." Grimmjow sighs and they sat there for a few minutes waiting for Grayson's cries to finally settle down.

When he did calm down, they heard a knock at the door. Grimmjow handed Naomi to Ronnie and got up to answer it. He opened it to see Nel and Nnoitra. Nel's eyes went straight to Alisha. "There's my cutie pie!" She takes Alisha from Grimmjow and snuggled her. Alisha eyes lit up. Grimmjow shook his head and let them in. "One or both of you got Grayson in trouble." Grimmjow says. "Say what?" Nel says. She looked over to see Ronnie. "Who is that." "Oichi's grandfather on her mom's side but back to the point. Grayson called him an ass." Nel's eyes widen. "He did WHAT?" Nnoitra rolled his eyes. "So what? Saying ass isn't a big…" Nel turned around and nearly punched him in the face. Instead she gave him a cold stare that shut him up quick. "Grayson is 2 years old! No matter how small the word may be for you two idiots it is still a cuss word for him! He shouldn't be saying it and he damn well shouldn't be saying it to an elder!" Ronnie shook his head. 'The mother has a calm spirit, but it looks like she has violent tendencies.'

"Nel! Get in here!" Oichi yelled out. Grimmjow smirked. "Looks like you're in trouble to." He takes Alisha form her. Nel frowned and sighs. She then grabbed Nnoitra by the arm. "Hey what the hell are you doing?" "If I'm going to get my ass chewed out so will you." She says dragging him into the kitchen. They walked into the sitting area in the corner where Oichi was sitting. Grayson was sniffing with a teary-eyed face, standing in front of her. "Oichi. Grimmjow told me what happened." She places a hand on her hips and looks at Grayson. "Grayson Odell Jaegerjaquez!" Grayson jumped at hearing his full name. "What have I told you about that mouth of yours! I don't care how angry you get you never disrespect an adult! Do you understand me!?" Tears run down Grayson's cheek. "S-Sorry mama…sorry auntie…" "Now you go in there and you apologize to Oichis grandfather and you better mean it, or I will wear your tail out." Grayson sniffs and walks out to the living room.

Oichi got up with her arms crossed. "Oichi. Sorry about that. No matter how meaningless that word may seem he has no business saying that. To your grandfather no less." Nel says. Oichi sighs. "There are bound to be slip ups here and there. I know that we can't protect our children from hearing and saying words like that however, in the home we can. Is it so hard to control the way you speak around him? All I ask is to limit the words you say around him. Even Grimmjow does that." Nnoitra frowned. "Why do I have to watch what I say around a kid that isn't mine?" Oichi shot him a rare deadly glare. "I don't care! As long as you are around Grayson and MY daughters you WILL watch your mouth! The way you talk and disrespect women in front of Grayson will stop! Your entire disrespectful manner is not welcome in my house so if you can't follow the rules then get the heck out and don't come back! You understand me?" Nnoitra eyes were widen at the angry lecture he was given. He was so shocked that all he could do was nod. Nel crossed her arms. "I agree. From now on we will be running things differently. I don't want my son learning your disgusting ways and if things don't change you can pack your bags and hit the door." Nnoitra frowned and looked at both angry women. "Fine…okay…I can watch me da…darn…mouth around the kids." Oichi huffs out and walks off. Nnoitra rubbed his head. "Scary…" Nel smiles. "Yes, motherly Oichi is quite scary but for all the right reasons. Mess up and you won't like what she does next. Now go get the car ready." She says walking by him.

Back in the living room, Grayson was standing in front of Ronnie apologizing. Ronnie rubbed his head. "Let me give you a proper introduction. I am Ronnie Tanaka. I'm Oichis grandfather." Grayson rubs his redden eyes. "Grandpop?" Ronnie nodded. "Yes, technically I'm your great grandpa but grandpop is just fine…listen. You did a very bad thing today and you made your aunt and mother very mad. You should never disrespect me or any adult for that matter. Learn from your mistakes and be better then you were today. Okay?" Grayson half nodded. "No bad words. No being meanie. Be nice." Ronnie chuckled. "Something like that. Now hold still." He lifted the phone and took a picture of him. "When you meant your great granny, she will definitely beat some manners into you."

Nel walked to Ronnie. "I'm very sorry for what my son called you. He honestly didn't mean it." Ronnie waves her off. "Its fine. I've been called a lot worse by a child." Nel smiled. "Grayson, let's go." Grayson nodded and walked by her. He went to Oichi and hugged her leg. "Sorry auntie…" Oichi sighs and pats his head. "Be good hunny." Grayson nodded and walked out with Nel and Nnoitra. Oichi shook her head. "I have to get myself and the twins, ready for work." "You're taking them with you?" Ronnie asked. Oichi nodded. "Yes, me and Grimmjow both have to work today. Well for me it's a meeting but I don't know how long it would be." "I see…then I'll stay and watch them for you. It gives me a chance to spend a little more time with them before I head back home. Plus, your grandmother would get a bit more pictures." Grimmjow and Oichi looked at each other. "You don't mind?" "Course not. Just tell me the do's and don'ts and be on your way." Oichi smiled. "Thank you, grandpa."

At the pet store, Jess had found the kitten she wanted, and it happened to be the last kitten from the display. It was a beautiful orange spotted Egyptian Mau. He was about 400 dollars and that wasn't including all the things they got for him. Jackie gave them a small discount due to the word of Oichi. Jess was smiling as she held her new kitten. "What should we call him?" She asked as Ulquiorra put all the things in the car. "Name him what you like." Jess pouted a bit. "Okay…hmmm…then Cleo shall be his name." She rubbed Cleo's head. "Yay! Welcome to our family Cleo! Hehehe. Now time to get your first official checkup." "Grimmjow gave me the address. We should hurry." Jess nodded and got in the car.

Back at the house. Oichi was wearing a new outfit she had made. A light blue and green floral, knee length dress. She brushed her hair out and the curled it. She grabbed her bag and headed downstairs. Grimmjow had already left to get started on her shop. She was excited that he was doing it and not the center. "Grandpa?" She walked to Ronnie who was feeding Naomi. Alisha was in her rocker being rocked to sleep. "I left the list of what you need on the table. Thank you for watching them." "No problem dear. Go on and head to your meeting. You look stunning by the way." Oichi giggled. "Thank you. I made it myself. I'll call when I'm on the way back." She went to the door, slipped her shoes on, grabbed her keys and headed out.

She arrived at the center within minutes. She looked at her watch to see that it was hitting close to noon. She headed to the Yamamoto's division office. She showed her pass and was escorted to his main office at the top. When she got there, she had to wait at the door as the guards had to let him know she was there. She took a seat by the bench at the door and pulled out her phone. She had gotten a text from Jess saying they were at the vent. She was sending Oichi pictures of Cleo. Oichi simply by passed them. She was about to text that she was at the meeting and about her grandfather watching the twins, when the door open. "Ms…Oichi. The head is ready for you." Oichi nodded. "Thank you." She got up and entered. To keep the confusion at a minimum, Oichi usually tells everyone to call her Ms. Oichi instead of Ms. Yamamoto. She was getting tired of explaining that there was no relation between her and the head.

Entering the office, Oichi saw Jushiro standing in the middle of the room. He frowned when he saw her empty handed. "I thought you were bringing those cute twins of yours." Oichi smiled. "Some other time. My grandpa stopped by and wanted to watch them." Jushiro rubbed his chin. "Ah, your mother's father correct? Ronnie, I believe his name was." "You know him?" Jushiro nods. "Oh yes, we met the day your mother insisted. He wanted to make sure she was well taken care of before his little girl set out on her own. How is he doing?" "He is well. Enjoying the twins." Jushiro laughed. "Lucky him." Oichi looked around. "Um where is Shunsui and Mr. Yamamoto? Are they not here yet?" "Oh, they are in the back room waiting." "Back room?" "Follow me please."

Oichi followed Jushiro to a back entrance behind the heads desk. He slipped through the door into another room with her behind him. The room they were now in was a Luxurious home with elegant woodwork and patterned floors. There was a bunch of books and awards on the shelves. At the grand desk Yamamoto was sitting there doing some paper work. Shunsui was sitting on the couch drinking a cup of sake. There were blueprints on the table in front of him. He looked up to see Jushiro and Oichi. "Ah here she is. The woman of the hour. No twins?" Oichi smiles. "My grandpa is babysitting them for now." Jushiro smiled. "Ronnie is." Yamamoto's head rose. "Danni's father? Hmmm…it has been quite some time since I have saw him." Shunsui chuckled. "Come sit. We have much to discuss about the school." Oichi nodded and took a seat beside him and Jushiro sat on her other side."

Yamamoto, still at his desk leans back in his chair. "I hope you don't mind but me and Shunsui already made the fine details while you were on leave. We found a very nice location where we could build the school out. As you see here on the blueprints, we plan for the school to fit everyone needs within it for the students and with the budget we can make that happen." Jushiro says. Oichi looked at the blueprints. "So, if you have the size, space, and money…why are we having this meeting?" Jushiro chuckled. "We did the easy part now we need your brain for what will go inside. A name. Classes. The goal all of this. What goes where and all of that." Shunsui says chuckling. "Oh!" Oichi opened her bag and took out a pad. "I've written most of the things down."

She took out a pencil and pointed to the middle of the main building. "As you know there will be five different divisions: Day care/Pre-school/Kindergarten, Elementary School, Middle School, High School and College/University. There will also be rooming for high school students and college students. The Students would be free to move about but for those in middle school on down will have a curfew." She circled different areas of on the blueprint showing them where each division would be located. "The college and university students will have a separate building from the others here." She circled the far end of the blueprint. Jushiro nodded. "Sounds good. Now do you know who you're going to have as a principal? Teachers? The subjects of the school? The school name even?" Oichi chuckled. "You're asking a lot of questions but yes, I had already placed a job out for those positions. I haven't had a chance to look over them all yet. There are already a few qualified teachers, all I need to find is a principal. So far, between you two who applied for the spot I have glanced over Kisuke's papers. I think he would be a good person for the job. However, I am aware of the strain you all have with him."

Jushiro rubbed his chin. "I think hiring Kisuke is a great idea. He is a very laid-back man but, he has shown that he can hold great responsibility. He was the former head of the 12th division at one point." Shunsui nodded in agreement. "That is true. What do you say?" He says looking at Genryusai. You did pull back Shinji." Genryusai hums out. "I approve of this, but I would like for Jushiro to be the vice principal. To keep an eye on him. Since I am aware of your frail body you do not have to go every day. Just enough to keep him in check." They nodded at him. Oichi wrote some things down on her pad. "Okay as for the school name it would be called Edgewood Academy with the school colors being royal blue, white, and gray the uniform is as followed.

The boys will wear tan or black trousers that reach down to their shoes, all of which are black. A white or cream, long or short shirt that can be tucked into their trousers and covered with a comfortable royal blue with white linen jacket. They can choose to wear a tie if they want.

The girls will wear tiered skirts in royal blue and the skirts must reach below their thighs. They can also wear black or white thigh high socks and black shoes. Like the boys the girls will wear a white or cream color shirt, long or short, which can be tucked in or hang over their skirts with a comfortable royal blue with lining jacket. They can also wear a tie if they so choose. All jackets are adorned with a small school logo and they can be allowed to wear various accessories so long as its presentable for school." Oichi takes a breath and goes on.

"The subjects would be like any other school. The basic math, English, science, and social studies. Of course, the advance classes of those. There are actually many classes that I have down, and I can send them to you so you can approve which ones would be of use to the school." She flipped through her notes. "Ah, a school board will not be needed since the academy is technically apart of the center. Everything would still need to go through you to be finalized."

Genryusai eyes opened slightly. "I do not agree." Oichi frowned. "Sir?" "I think a school board will be necessary for this school project. You will be assigned the head spot along with Jushiro and Shunsui. I leave it up to you to find the rest of the board. You all will determine how this school will play out, so I leave you with the decisions concerning with it. The only thing I should hear is the results and budget feeds." Oichi nods. "I see…um…was there anything else we needed to discuss?" "No, not really. Since we have been deemed the school board now, we can handle everything else and run them by you. That includes the hiring process of the teachers and staff of the school." Shunsui says. He leans back. "Also, I heard that your fashion shop has begun to be built. If possible, we would like Grimmjow and his team to also work with the centers building team. Of course, we will give them the payment in full and give them most credit but with their business being so small it would take a long time before the school is built." "Okay, I will speak to him about that. Ah…would it be alright if I spoke to Mayuri? It would be about some of the technical things that would be going on with the school such as computers, tablets, PDA systems and all the sorts." Genryusai nodded. "And I'd like to speak to Toshiro and Mr. Komamura about security." Genryusai nodded again. "Speaking of Sajin…we need to speak of this flea market you brought to the table. I have already sent for him and he should be waiting outside the office."

Oichi sighed mentally. "Okay sir." He hit a small button on his desk. "You may escort him in." They waited for a second before they heard the door to the room opened. Komamura walks in. "Ms. Ya…Oichi…thank you for helping me and my division. I am greatly in your dept." Oichi smiles. "Its fine. You handle the newcomers that come to the center. It would be upsetting if we didn't have enough room for those who are willing to work here. Have you come up with your list for the flea market?" Komamura nodded. "Yes, we have collected my items we can sell and thanks to the divisions that are helping it is growing larger." "Great! Now for something to pull people in. I suggest we do it on Easter at the park!" "Why Easter?" "There is an Easter egg hunt party going on for the kids around the town and while the kids are busy playing and doing what kids do, parents would definitely see the flea market and stop by. Also, the use to flyers can help. My division can take care of that. Newspapers and marketing help a lot. Sounds good?" Komamura smiles and nods. "Yes, that sounds like an excellent idea. The flea market will be held on Easter. Thank you for your help Ms. Oichi." "No problem. If a division is in need of help, I can't sit back and not doing anything to help. Despite us being in different divisions we are a unit. If one of us fall, then we all may fall as well." Jushiro chuckled. "I agree with that statement. Now is there anything else we should discuss? I think we have covered the main bases." They all looked at Genryusai. His eyes were locked on Oichi and it made her a bit uncomfortable. "Sir?" She asked slightly timid. He closed his eyes. "It is nothing child. You may be excused. Your leave is up in April. Use that time to rest up. You have a lot of work ahead of you." "Thank you sir." Oichi gets up and says her goodbyes. Komamura walks out with her.

Shunsui smirks. "Why couldn't you just say what was on your mind?" Genryusai sighs. "Silence your tongue." Jushiro sighs and coughs a bit. "She is like her father but at the same time she's not. If they didn't look so much alike it would be hard to tell if they were related." Shunsui chuckled. 'She does remind me of someone else to…' He says glancing at Genryusai.

Over at Chad's, he had the month off to rest and the prepare for his next boxing match. He was in the kitchen making snacks with Emma and Isabella. They were making cookies. Emma and Isabella had become close friends already. Emma's birthday was coming up on the 8th of April and Ikkaku and Mizuho was out shopping and getting things ready. Emma giggled at she pats down a cookie. Isabella ate a chocolate chip and hums out. "No eating Bella! We bake first!" They both giggled. Chad smiles. Oichi had given him a few easy cooking tips and he went out to buy cook books. He wasn't a master at cooking, but he could do a decent enough job to make Isabella happy. The door bell rings out. "You two stay here while I get the door okay?" The girls nodded. Chad grabs a damp rag and cleans his hands while walking to the door. He looks through the keyhole to see Renji and Ichika. He opened the door and Ichika smiles up at him. "Hi!" Chad smiles at her. She was wearing a red and blue stripe dress, black leggings, and flats. Her red hair was tied into two small side ponytails. "Hey there Ichika. We just started baking cookies." Her eyes widen. "Cookies!" She quickly ran into the house. Renji chuckled and handed Chad her bag. "Thanks for watching her today. Rukia wants her to spend more time with the girls and I fell much better with her here." Chad nodded. "I'm sure it must hit your pride when Ichika is happier to see Grimmjow." Renji frowned. "Blunt as always I see…I'll be back later to pick her up." Chad nods and closes the door. He hangs Ichika's bag up in the closet and walks back to the kitchen to see the girls laughing at the table. "Daddy! We bake more!?" Isabella says. Chad nods. "We can." The girls squealed out in joy making him chuckle.

Days went by and it moved into the first of April. Jess was in Oichi's bathroom. She was pacing with nervousness. For the last week she had been throwing up and feeling very drain. Her eating habits had changed a little such as at work, when she ate an entire jar of pickles. She remembers when Oichi went through this the day she found out about the twins. 'Oh my God, Oh my God…' On the sink counter was two pregnancy tests. She was waiting for the results. In the room, Oichi was waiting. Grimmjow had taken the twins out somewhere with Ulquiorra. Jess's heart was beating as she stopped and looked at the test. Her eyes widen as both tests read positive. "Oh…Oh my…" She put her hand on her face and then looked at the mirror. She placed her hand on her stomach. There was a knock at the door. "Jess are you okay in there?" She heard Oichi say. Jess walked to the door and opened it. She had tears in her eyes. "Oichi…" "Jess!? What's wrong!?" Jess hugged her. "I'm pregnant!" Oichi eyes widen and she smiled, hugging her back. "Congratulations! I'm gonna be auntie!" Jess giggled and pulled away and dried her tears. "You think Ulquiorra will be happy?" "I'm sure he will. He's changed a lot thanks to you." Jess smiled and rubbed her stomach. "I have to make an appointment with Uryu right away." Oichi smiled at Jess. She was glowing so brightly. 'I wonder if that's how I looked when I was pregnant.'

At the coffee shop, Grimmjow was holding Alisha while Ulquiorra held Naomi. Toshiro and Jushiro was sitting in front of them. "Such cute girls." Jushiro says smiling. "May I hold one of them?" Grimmjow handed him Alisha. She looked at him with widen eyes. "Ah, this must be their first time being held by someone else other then the family. Don't worry little one I won't harm you." He says chuckling. "You got your moms eyes and tone just about. I bet your going to knock the boy's dead on their feet." "Not if I have anything to say about it." Grimmjow asked. Toshiro cleared his throat. "So why are we here. We got a message from Oichi saying she wanted to talk to us about something important." "Yeah, that was me." Grimmjow said. Toshiro sighs. "So, what did you want?" Grimmjow held up an envelope and handed it to Toshiro. He looked inside to see the two flash drives. "What is this?" "Something Starrk left me." Jushiro frowned and he bounced Alisha gently. "Starrk? You mean the leader of Aizen's 1st division?" "Former, he quit and gave us this at the funeral." Jushiro looked at the drives. "It must have been the death of the 2nd division leader…" "Of course, that old man was hard to kill. We all tried it at one point. No one had the guts to really to finish the job. Aizen must have had a hand in it…and I guess Starrk was just done with it. Him and Barragan were the first two with Aizen so even though they didn't show it they had respect for each other." Toshiro put the drives in his coat pocket. "What are on the flash drives?" "What you need to finally take down Aizen." "…and you want us to cut you a deal?" "Na, trust me, those files will give you everything you need on Aizen. Only Aizen. Starrk was good at his job for this reason. So good luck with tying us to whatever is on there." Toshiro frowned and sighed. "I see. Then I thank you for this information. Provided we don't find something other wise we will take this back to division 12 and have them look into." Jushiro nodded as he handed Alisha back to Grimmjow.

"Thank you both for this. We have been looking for this chance for a long time. We owe you both." Grimmjow put Alisha back in her car seat. "You owe us nothing since you've been trying to throw us in jail. Just leave us out of your crap from now on and we will call it even." Ulquiorra puts Naomi back into her car seat and gets up. "I see…then tell Oichi that I hope to see her at work when she comes back." Grimmjow nodded and got up and grabbed the car seats and walked out the store with Ulquiorra behind him. "Do you think we can trust them?" Toshiro asked. "Yes, Grimmjow hasn't done much for us to suspect him anymore and it seems like Ulquiorra and a few more of them are doing the same. They are all trying to break from Aizen before this comes crumbling down." Toshiro gets up. "Then I guess we should make our way back to the center.

Jess was pacing in the living room, trying to figure out what to say. Oichi was sitting on the couch with Damien in her lap. Pantera and Cleo was napping on a pillow in the corner. Damien wags his tail as his head followed Jess. "Oh Oichi, I'm so happy but what if he isn't! I mean I know he didn't want kids but I'm sure something has changed his mind about it. The way he sneaks peaks at my stomach when I'm holding Naomi, or when we talk about kids in general. He thinks I don't see it, but I do!" Oichi sighs mentally. "Jess calmed down. You can't be stressing already. Even if somehow Ulquiorra doesn't approve, you won't be alone in this…" Jess frowns. "I know, but I don't want my child growing up without a father…I want us to be a family…"

She starts to tear up. Oichi moves Damien off her lap and goes to her. She hugs her. "Calm down Jess. It's clear to everyone here that Ulquiorra loves you. Everything will be okay." Jess sniffs and nods. Then they heard the door being unlocked. Jess tensed up as the door opened. "We're home." Grimmjow called out. Oichi let Jess go just as Grimmjow and Ulquiorra walked in. "Grimmjow! Welcome home! Guess what! Nel and Nnoitra are getting married!" Grimmjows eyes widen in shock. "What!?" He nearly dropped the car seat. Oichi giggled. "April fools! Just kidding!" Grimmjow frowned. "Oichi what the hell! Don't do that to me! I nearly had a heart attack over here!" Oichi walks over to him. "Oh hush. You would have been fine. Nel hasn't lost her mind just yet." She took Alisha out the car seat.

Ulquiorra took Naomi out the car seat and handed her to Grimmjow. He looked at Jess who was playing with her braid. He walked over to her. "What's wrong?" Jess looks at him. "N-Nothing…" Ulquiorra rubbed her cheek. "Don't lie." Jess glanced at Oichi who was holding both her daughters. She nodded. Jess signs and grabbed Ulquiorra's hands. "…I just found out…that I'm pregnant…" There was silence in the room. Ulquiorra's blank look didn't change. Jess frowned as she felt her heart shake. She knew it was April's fools day but she wouldn't make a joke about this. Suddenly Grimmjow started to laugh. "Now THAT is a great joke ha!" Oichi frowned at him. Jess shot him a glare. She stormed over to him and hit him square in the face, knocking him back to the wall. "Its NOT a fuckin JOKE!" She yelled out in anger. The twins started to fuss. Oichi bounced them. "Ssshhh. It's okay. Daddy is fine. He's just being a idiot. Sshhh…" Jess grabs the pregnancy tests off the table and walks back to Ulquiorra. "Ulquiorra look! I'm telling the truth! I'm pregnant. We are going to have a baby!" Ulquiorra takes the tests and looks at them.

His eyes widen in shock and Jess smiles. 'Finally! A reaction!' She grabs Ulquiorras hand and places it on her stomach. He looks at her. "Our child Ulquiorra. We are finally starting a family." Ulquiorra looks down at her stomach and pulls away. "I see…" He then looks at Jess with a somewhat soft expression. Her heart started to do flips. "Ulquiorra…" He walk to her. Jess smiled, ready to be embraced by him. "I lov… "

Instead Ulquiorra walked right past her. Her eyes widen along with Oichi's. Ulquiorra grabbed his keys and a bag and without a word walked out. There was a awkward silence in the air. Jess bit her lip as tears started running down her cheeks. "Jess…" Oichi called out. Jess ran upstairs and went to her room. They could hear her slamming the door shut. Oichi looked at Grimmjow who was recovering from her hit. "Grimmjow what the heck just happen! Why did Ulquiorra leave like that?" Grimmjow rubbed his redden face. "How should I know. I can't read his thoughts." "Well go look for him! I will not have him leaving Jess without some sort of explanation of what he did!" Grimmjow sighed. "Maybe he needs time to process this. He didn't plan on having kids you know." "Well he should have thought about that before he started to have that sort of relationship with Jess! It's not fair to her!" "Calm down babe. Let's let him get his thoughts together and if he doesn't come back by tomorrow I'll go look for him." Oichi frowned and sighs out. "I need to go check on Jess" She hands the twins to Grimmjow. She turns around and jumps slightly to see Pantera and Cleo looking at her. They had woken up from their nap when Jess slammed the door. Oichi shivered and walked around them. Grimmjow chuckled as the kittens tried to follow her. 'At least she didn't scream. That's good.'

Oichi went to the second floor and got to Jess's door. It had cracks around the door frame from when she slammed it. Oichi knocks on the door. "Jess? Can I come in?" There was no answer. Oichi turns the knob and opens the door. She walked in and could hear Jess crying her eyes out in the bathroom. Oichi opened the door and saw her sitting in the corner of the room sitting, with her head in her hands. Oichi walked over to her and sat beside her. She rubbed her back. "Jess…its going to be okay." "I should have known he was going to react that way." Jess says through her tears. "He told me he didn't want kids but, I thought…I thought he would change…" Oichi pulled Jess into a hug. "Don't worry hun. I'm sure he just needs to clear his head. We all know how difficult it is for him to express his true feelings. Grimmjow will go and look for him soon and you two can sit down and talk about this. Just give him some time okay?" Jess nods but still cries.

The next day, Ulquiorra did not return. Grimmjow was out looking for him. Jess, Oichi, and the twins were at the hospital getting her looked at. Jess was very sad but she masked it up very well in front of everyone. She was sitting in the private wing waiting on Uryu. Oichi was covering the twins up as they napped. Uryu came back. "Sorry for the wait. I have the results." Jess smiled "You are about 6 weeks. I'm sure I don't need to tell you everything you need to do. Don't try to stress yourself out to much and Oichi is sure to help you when you need something." Oichi nods. "Yup! Leave it to me." Jess chuckles. "May I have the ultrasound sound pictures? I know it's small but I want to keep track of my child's growth." Uryu nods. "Of course."

When Jess had her pictures, she and Oichi went out to eat at the Chinese buffet restaurant. They were sitting near the back and the twins were prepped up in their car seats still sleeping. "So when do you want to tell everyone?" Oichi sips on a glass of water. "I don't know…I would rather wait til Ulquiorra comes back…if he comes back…" Oichi grabs her hand. "He will come back. You know this in your heart." Jess smiles. "Yeah…" She sighs. "I'm gonna go make my plate." Oichi nods and watches her go.

The next evening, Oichi was up putting the twins to sleep while Jess also slept on the couch. She had dry tear Mark's on her cheeks. Oichi frowned. 'Damn that man. What more does when have to do to for you to open your eyes!' She huffed out and put the twins in their bouncer. She went into the kitchen to start on dinner, when her phone vibrated. She grabbed it and answered it. "Hello?" "Hey Oichi! It's me Mizuho!" Oichi chuckled. "Hello Mizuho. What can I do for you?" "So I heard through the grapevines that you are hosting a Easter egg hunt in the park." "Something like that. It's not my party just something the neighborhood came up with." "Uh huh I'm sure. Look, do you think we can have Emma's birthday party there?" "Sure, knock yourself out. I was going to celebrate all the April birthdays anyways. Having Emma included will be fun for the kids to" "Yay! Thank you! But just to be sure, I am focus only on my daughter's birthday. Not everyone else's." "That's fine. Do what you need Mizuho see you soon." She hangs up and rolls her eyes. "I'm glad Emma got her dads personality.

Izzy was home alone as she finished her schoolwork. She sighs and stretch. "All done! Now I can relax for the next week." She lays down on her bed and grabs her phone. She scrolls down to see Yushiro's number. She smiled and hit it. Putting it on speaker phone she stretches. It only rings once before he answers. "Hey Izzy! What's up sugar plum!" she giggles. "I just finished the rest of my schoolwork and I have the house alone today. Do you wanna come over?" "Yes! I'll be over in a second!" He hangs up. "He is so excited. It's cute." She texted Florina about Yushiro was coming over. She and Hisagi were going on a date and shed be spending the night at his place. Izzy got up and her phone in her hand and went to take a quick shower.

About 15 minutes later Yushiro pulled up with a huge smile on his face. He then gulps. "Today is the day…" He shakes his head and walks to the door and rings the doorbell. He waits for a second before the door was open. Izzy stood there wearing a pair of hot pink shorts, a t-shirt and she had a towel over her head, drying it off. Yushiro eyes widen and his face turned slightly red. Izzy smiles. "Hi Yu! I just took a quick shower. Come on in." Yushiro followed her in. His eyes went down to her butt but he looked away quickly. "S-So what did you want to do today?" Izzy hums out. "Wanna order some pizza and find some movies to watch? Flo is with Hisagi for the night." Yushiro smiled. "Sweet! I'll get to ordering and you find us a mega movie marathon!" Izzy laughs. "okay."

Rangiku eyes opened. She sits up and yawns. The sheets fall down her naked chest. Rubbing her neck, she looks over to see Gin, fast asleep. She smiles slightly before getting up. Gin hasn't officially left the company of Aizen just yet. He had turned himself into the center and in order to avoid jail time he was supposed to gather as much information he could before the company went under. For now, he was staying low under the radar with Rangiku. Only a hand full of people knew what was going on. Rangiku turned on the shower and hoped in. She was happy that Gin had come back to her, but she was worried about the future. Who was to say that the top brass would keep their word and let Gin get off? They were always sneaky like that. She shook her head and relaxed as the warm water ran over her. She the chuckles to herself lightly. 'As long as he is with me, I couldn't be happier.' She tells herself.

Back at Izzy's, Yushiro had order pizza and Izzy was looking up movies on their digital box. "Mmmm do you want horror or action?" She asks. Yushiro sits on the couch. "Comedy?" Izzy smiles. "I can work with that. What did you order?" "A large Hand toss pizza, light cheese half meat lovers and half sausage. An order of bread sticks and a pasta with a cookie." Izzy licks her lips "Mmmm. Sounds all yummy!" She says giggling. Yushiro felt his face hear up when she licked her lips. "Y-Yeah…so um…it should be here in about 30 minutes." Izzy nods. "Great. Let's find a movie." Yushiro rubbed his head. "Actually, before that. I wanted to talk to you about something." "Oh? What's on your mind?" Yushiro plays with his fingers. "um I just want to apologize to you." "Apologize? For what?" "Not being the guy, you wanted…" Izzy raises her eyebrow and puts the remote down. "What are you talking about?" Yushiro sighs. "I…overheard you talking with the girls at work. I know it was wrong for me to do that, but I couldn't help it." Izzy's eyes widen slightly. She then grabbed Yushiro's hand. "Oh Yushiro. You're so silly. If you overhead the conversation, then you should have heard the end of it. You weren't at fault. I was just use to a lot of things. I do admit that this is the first time I've taken a relationship slow, but I think this is really good for us. We are both a little new to this so taking it slow is the best way to go." Yushiro bit his lip. "…what if I didn't want to go slow?" "Meaning…"

Before Izzy could say another word, Yushiro kissed her. He backed up inches from her lips. "Meaning that I want you here and now. From the day I first saw you, I wanted you." Izzy blushed before he kissed her again. He pushed her back on the couch and gets between her legs. Their hips grind against each other making them both moan into the kiss. Yushiro broke the kiss and moved down to her neck. "Yu…" She felt his hand run down her side and down to her hips and then her legs. His other hand went under her shirt and cupped her breast. He kissed her neck, licking and sucking. His hand, on her leg, ran back up and slipped into her shorts, pulling them down and off. He sits up and pulls Izzy up. He takes off her shirt and kisses her again. Finally getting into the mood, Izzy returned the kiss with more heat. She grabbed his shirt and pulls it up and over him, breaking the kiss before returning. Her fingers ran down his tone chest and down to his pants. Yushiro moans out as Izzy unbuckled his belt and unbuttoned his pants. Her hand reached down and pulled out his half hard member. She grabbed it firmly and started to stroke him. Yushiro's hips started to thrust with her strokes. He breaks the kiss and groans out. "Izzy…" Izzy places her hand on his chest and pushes him back on the couch gently. "I'll make you feel really good okay." Izzy says with lust in her eyes. Yushiro shivers at this looks. Izzy giggles. "You got harder. You really want me huh?" "Yeah…I do."

Izzy smiles and removes her bra. "Your so cute." She lets his member go and sits on his lap. With her panties still on she rubbed against him. Yushiro bit his lip as he grabbed her thighs. "Would I be your first?" Izzy asks with a flustered face. Yushiro nods as he felt something wet. He looks down to see his pre cum leaking out. He turned his head embarrassed. Izzy chuckled. "Don't be embarrassed. That's normal you know." "Is it?" Yushiro says turning back to her. "You've never seen it before? Like when your very aroused?" Yushiro shook his head. "No…I haven't felt this way about anyone before." Izzy stops and rubs her cheek. "Have you ever you know…like masturbated?" Yushiro shook his head again. "Aw! You're so innocent!" Yushiro scratches his head. "Well…I guess…I mean running the head of the family I never got a chance to go out and meet girls. They were hand pick for me, and they agreed to everything I said which was boring to me. My sister helped me get out of there for a while and came to work at the superhero café and meet you." Izzy smiles sweetly at him and lays down on top of him. "If it's your first time wouldn't you rather it be special?" Yushiro kissed her forehead. "My first time with you right now is special." They kissed and as soon as he grabbed her panties to pull them down. Izzy position herself over him. Yushiro holds on to her thighs as she lowers herself on his member. They both moan out as Izzy fully takes him in. "Oh…" Izzy shivers as she starts to grind on him a bit. Yushiro bit his lip. "Izzy…W-Wait…" Izzy chuckles. "I haven't even started to move yet." "It feels good like this…" Izzy could feel his member pulsing. "I told you that I will make you feel good." She starts to raise her hip and bring it back down, riding him at a steady pace. They both moan out. "Izzy…Oh Izzy…" Suddenly he grabbed her hips and started to thrust up at a fast pace. Izzy gasps out in surprise but her hips started to slam back down meeting his thrusts. "Yushiro! Oh my!" "Sorry it feels really good inside you! I can't stop…" He groans out. Izzy then felt herself falling back. Yushiro push her back on the couch, pushing her legs up, to where her knees reached his ears. His pace quickens. "Izzy! Feels so good inside! I don't want to stop!"

Izzy felt pleasure running up and down her body, her face was flushed. "Yu, don't stop! Don't stop!" She looked, watching him pull out and push in her. With each thrust, their moans got louder, the sound of skin meeting skin echo through the house. Izzy could feel his entire length with each thrust. Her insides were tingling. She was close to her climax. Yoshiro placed his hands on the arm of the couch, going harder and faster. Sweat started to form on his chest. He could feel himself pulsing. "Izzy, I think…I think I'm coming!?" Izzy wraps her arms around his neck. "Me to! Inside! Come inside me!" They both moan and grunted out together. "Oh God! Yu! Yu!" Izzy's body tensed up as she hit her climax. Yoshiro grunts out as he thrusts once more as he also reached his climax. They both gasps out as Yoshiro slows his thrust down. Izzy shakes under him and sighs out. "Yu…" Yoshiro pulls out of her and looks down at her. "Izzy…" He leans down and kisses her. He pulls back. "That was amazing!" He says smiling. Izzy giggled. "Yeah it was. You sure this was your first time?" Yushiro nodded and blushed. "C-Can we do it again?" Izzy laughs. "Of course. I'm game whenever your ready." Yushiro eyes sparkled and kissed her again. The doorbell rings. They both sigh out. "I forgot about the pizza…"

He sits up and pouts as he fixes his pants. "Right when we were getting to the good part." Izzy giggled as she grabbed her shirt. "The faster you get the pizza the faster we can keep going." This perks Yushiro open. He quickly went to the door. Izzy shakes her head as she got dressed. "I guess we can take this to my room. Can't have Flo coming home to see us naked on the couch. She'd have a heart attack."

The morning on the 21st on April, Easter, Oichi, Grimmjow, Jess, and the twins were at the park setting things up. Damien was running around the twins while Grimmjow was setting up a party table. Jess had a bucket of Easter eggs with all types of goodies from candy to small prizes and there were one or two mega eggs out with a bigger prize in them. Jess was wearing a spring floral dress with black leggings and flats. Oichi was wearing a green and white striped sweater dress. Grimmjow had on a white t-shirt and brown shorts. The twins were wearing matching onesies with a white bunny on it.

Oichi frowned as she watched Jess slightly drag her feet as she hid eggs. There was still no word on Ulquiorra and Grimmjow was just as clueless. "Oichi!" Oichi turned to see her sisters with Hisagi and Yushiro walking behind them. "Hey you two! Glad you can make it." They hugged. "Where are my little nieces!" Florina says giggling. She quickly by passed Oichi and went to Naomi and Alisha. "Awww they are so cute!" Izzy chuckled. "For someone who doesn't want kids you really love to be around other people's baby." Oichi smiles. "It's cute. I have a lifetime babysitter." Hisagi looked around and saw the flea market that was already set up. People were already there buying stuff. "Looks like your idea for a flea market has become a success." Oichi nodded. "I suppose. We won't really know until the end of the day."

As the day went by, everyone started to show up for both the Easter egg hunt party and for the flea market. Some parents left their kids to shop at the market. Oichi didn't mind this since there was enough adults here to watch everyone. At a separate table Emma was having her birthday party. Mizuho was setting up the food and watching Emma play with the other kids. Ikkaku and Yumichika was with her. Ikkaku was fending off any boys that came Emma's way. Chad and Isabella came as well along with Rukia and Ichika. The three girls together went on a hunt.

Nel, Grayson, and Nnoitra showed as well. "Sissy's!" Grayson yells running to the twins. Naomi was being held by Florina and Alisha was been held by Izzy. Hearing Grayson they both turned their heads and smiled at him. Oichi chuckled. "Looks like they are happy to see you Gray." Grayson smiled back with excited look on his face. "I hold sissy!" He say with outstretched hands. "Later sweetie. Go on and join the egg hunt." Grayson pouted but did as he was told.

Jess was over in the flea market. She sighed mentally to herself missing Ulquiorra. She rubbed her stomach slightly and bit her lip. 'What if he never comes back. What if Grimmjow was right and I've done nothing but waste my time.' She starts to tear slightly. 'Was I really important to him?'

"Jess?" Jess turned around to see Ichigo. "What's wrong?" He asked with concern. Jess frowned. "Its nothing. Where is Orihime and Kazuki?" "At the Easter egg hunt. Now tell me what's wrong?" Jess sighs not really wanting to answer. Ichigo frowned at this and grabbed her wrist and quickly pulled her away from the flea market and egg hunt. By a large flower garden, Jess had enough of Ichigo dragging her around. She pulled away from him. "I think that's far enough." She says. Ichigo turned to her. "Okay then. Talk and this time don't lie. You hate being lied to so don't lie to others, especially a friend…" Jess frowned at him and then looked up. Tears came to her eyes as she felt sadness ripple through her. "I'm pregnant…" Ichigo smiled. "Really? Congratulations. I'm sure Oichi is happy to be a aunt. What did Ulquiorra have to say about it." Jess bit her lip as the tears ran down her cheeks. "When I told him. He left…Grimmjow went to look for him but he couldn't find him." She says crying. Ichigo frowned and balled his fist. "He left…?" Jess held her stomach. "I feel like a fool Ichigo. What if he really left me and our baby. I knew he didn't want children but I could see him changing. Maybe Grimmjow was right and I was just nothing but a tool for him to use!"

Ichigo sighs and place a hand on her shoulder. "Those are just your emotions all over the place right now. Everyone here that knows about you and Ulquiorra could see he was changing for the better. Like Grimmjow. Have you concerned that he was just shocked about the news and need time to think? Maybe he has some plan for you both now that your pregnant? If I was him I wouldn't want to be living under another man's roof while he supports myself and my lover. I'd feel like I wouldn't be able to provide for her. It's silly but it's like a pride thing with us males. I've know Ulquiorra for a bit and he isnt the type of person to do things for no reason. You love him right?" Jess sniffed and nodded. "Then you know deep in your heart that he will be back for you and the baby. Right?" Jess nodded again. "Yes, I know he feels the same for me even if he doesn't say it." Ichigo smiles. "Then you have nothing to worry about." Jess smiles. "Thank you Ichigo." "Of course. You and Oichi are like extra sisters that didn't want." Jess pouted. "You do know I'm older then you right?" Ichigo shrugs. "Age doesn't matter right now. Anyways how many others know about this." He asked poking her stomach. "Only Oichi and Grimmjow. I didn't want everything else to know until Ulquiorra got back or until I started showing. So don't go flapping your lips." Ichigo chuckled. "You got it. Now let's get back before Oichi start worrying about you."

As the afternoon passed the kids had found all the eggs with Emma, Ichika, and Grayson finding the most. Now the kids who were friends with the ground were eating birthday cake while Emma opened her gifts. Oichi and Grimmjow were over at the flea market while the twins were being watched by Jess. Izzy and Yoshiro had sneaked off somewhere and Florina and Hisagi were around the flea market area. Oichi stopped at a jewelry table and spotted a yin and yang necklace that pulled apart. "Aw! Would this be cute with the twins!" Grimmjow rubbed his head. "But isnt that a ploy on good and evil? You wanna call one of my baby girls evil?" "Well if they came out evil it's in your genes." Oichi says pouting.

Grimmjow saw two heart pendant necklaces. "How about these?" He held out his own necklace. "We can put our pictures in it along with Grayson of course." Oichi smiled. "That's cute. Speaking of pictures we need to update yours. We should get a picture of the twins and Grayson so we can fit it in there." Grimmjow nodded and looked at the next table, when something caught his eye. He picked up the necklace. "Hey we wanna get these." A woman turned around and smiled. "That will be 8 dollars sir." Grimmjow paid and grabbed the necklace. He then grabbed Oichi's hand and pulled her to the neck table.

"Hey hun. Why are you pulling me? I was still looking at the jewelry." Grimmjow reached the table he had been eyeing. It was a table full of photo books and frames. "We should get some for the twins." Oichi picked one up and smiled. "I agree. We can always use more photo books heehee." Once they brought a few items they continued on their way. At the table, Jess was feeding Naomi, while Alisha slept. She giggled. "Such a glutton you are. Just like your mother." "Auntie!" Jess looked to see Grayson. "I hold sissy!?" He says holding his arms out. "Not right now Gray. She's eating." Grayson frowned. "I hold sissy! Meanie face!" Jess frowned. "That's not nice Grayson." "My Sissy!" He yelled at her. His loud voice woke Alisha and she started crying. Hearing her sister cry Naomi stopped eating and started to cry as well. Jess sighs as she bounces Naomi. "Grayson sweetheart why don't you…" "You made sissy cry! You mean lady! Bimbo!" Jess eyes widen at him.

Oichi and Grimmjow came rushing back, hearing the twins cry. Nel also came rushing over. "Jess what happened?" Oichi says picking up Alisha. Before Jess could say anything Grayson pointed at her. "Mean Bimbo! Mad sissy cry!" Oichi frowned at Grayson. "Grayson!" Grayson jumped at Nel's angry voice. He turned around to see a angry Nel. He shivered. "Mama…" "We are going home." Grayson frowned. "No!" Nel narrowed her eyes. "For the sake of me not making a scene we are going home. I have had it up to here with your attitude! I don't know what has gotten into you but I will NOT have this behavior! Do you understand!" Grayson tears up. "You apologize to Jess right now!" Grayson sniffs and turns to Jess who just calmed Naomi down. "Sorry auntie…" He says putting his head down. Jess smiles slightly. Nel grabs his hand and lead him out the park. Oichi sighs out. "I bet he learned that from Nnoitra…that foul mouth of his." She looks at Grimmjow. "Yeah, I'll take care of it." Oichi bounces Alisha. "You better. Or I will…" Jess stood up. "Me as well. I see Grayson as my little nephew. He's a sweet child but Nnoitra's influence is bring your side of him out." Grimmjow frowned. "My side!?" "Yes. He gets that fearless side from you! That brash side that keeps you from thinking before words fly out your mouth." Jess says with a hand on her hip. Oichi put Alisha back into her car seat. "That's enough you two. Nel will handle Grayson as she sees fit. I'm sure once he gets older, he won't look up to Nnoitra. I just want Nnoitra to watch his mouth and bad habits. Anyways, let's go home…I guess we are done for the day."

Later that night, Oichi was in the twin's room, on the phone with Nel. "What kinda of punishment?" She asked. Nel sighs out. "I wore his tail out, took his games and tv time. He also can't see the twins for two weeks. Out of everything, that seem to hurt him the most. As for Nnoitra, I kicked his ass twice as hard for teaching Gray that word and threw him out the house." Oichi shook her head. "For how long? Normally when someone is toxic around a child it's best to keep them away right?" There was a long pause. "…..But…You have grown feelings for him?" "No…" Nel says softly. "They way bring him back into your life?" "I don't know okay! The last time I checked Grimmjow is just as toxic and yet you are still with him! What's your excuse!" Oichi frowned. "I love him and I'm not afraid or ashamed to admit. Look if you have feelings for Nnoitra I won't judge you. I'm just worried about the influence of Grayson." "Well you aren't Grayson's mother, I am. So just worry about your own kids! If I'm such a bad mother, then maybe you should just keep me out of you little loop to!" "Nel I didn't say…" Oichi heard a click. She frowns and shakes her head. She then heard giggling and walked to the cribs were Alisha was fighting sleep. Oichi chuckled and picked her up. "Fighting sleep again huh." Sitting in her rocking chair, she started rocking. "You are just as stubborn as your auntie Nel."

Alisha yawns and giggles. Grimmjow walked in with a warm bottle of milk. "I assumed she was still up." He handed Oichi the bottle. "How did the conversation with Nel go?" He asked checking on Naomi. "Terrible. All I did was ask about her feelings with Nnoitra and she flew off the handle…" "Sounds like her when she's in one of her moods. She'll be back to herself in no time." Oichi smiles slightly. "I hope so…"

A few days later, Jess was home alone, she was off today. Oichi was at work with the twins and Grimmjow was on a contracting job. Cleo was sitting on her lap. Jess sighs as she flipped through the channels on the TV. At the front door she heard keys jiggling and the door open. 'Might be Oichi. She must have forgotten something.' Footsteps were heard. "Did you forget something? I told you to double check before you…" She looked up to see Ulquiorra. Her eyes widen as she stood up. She put Cleo down. "Ulquiorra…"

Ulquiorra looked at her and walked to her. "Your back. I thought…" Just then Ulquiorra wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a hug, holding her in an embrace. Jess eyes widen more, and tears came to the corner of her eyes. "Ulquiorra…" He pulled back. "Forgive me for leaving so suddenly but after I heard that I could no longer sit here and be under someone else's roof." Jess sniffed and smiled. 'It's just as Ichigo said…' "Jess." She looked up at him. "Will you come with me? I wish to show you why I left suddenly." Jess nodded. Ulquiorra took her hand and led her out the door.

Getting into the car, Ulquiorra drove Jess a few blocks from Oichi's house to where the house he brought was. Ulquiorra pulled into the driveway. "Whose house is this?" "Ours…" Jess gasp. "O-Ours!? Such as mine and yours!?" Ulquiorra nodded and got out the car. Jess followed. Holding hands, they headed inside. Ulquiorra let her hand go and followed her as she checked out the house. "This is beautiful Ulquiorra!" Jess says smiling. They headed upstairs where the master bedroom was. The wall and floors were a shade of forest green. Jess smiled and went to sit on the large bed. "So…you were trying to get us a house? Is that why you left?" Ulquiorra nodded. "I actually brought the house a head of time. Grimmjow was helping me do some personal repairs but after I learned you were pregnant, I had to quickly finish the job so that we can go ahead and move in."

"So…you want to raise this baby with me, right? You love us both?" Ulquiorra looked at her and then her stomach. "Yes. Originally, I didn't think of children or the future in general. All I had was my obsession with Oichi until I meet you." He walked up to her. "You manage to pierce my heart and now you have given an ultimate prize for it. A family of my own." Jess stood up and walked to him. She grabbed his hand and places it on her stomach. "Our baby Ulquiorra. You don't know how happy this makes me. I didn't want our child growing up without you." Ulquiorra rubbed her stomach himself. He then wrapped his arm around her and brought her into kiss. She hums slightly as she melts into it. After that Jess and Ulquiorra moved out the very next day. Oichi was teary eyed about it but Grimmjow gladly helped throw their things out.

Oichi sighs as she lays on the couch. The twins were napping. Grimmjow walked in with a cup of tea. "Are you still down about her moving out." Oichi sat up. "I miss her!" Grimmjow rolls his eyes and sits the cup down. "You can literally walk to her house babe but forget that for a moment. Why don't we practice while we have a rare silent moment to ourselves?" Oichi raised her eyebrow. "Practice what?" Grimmjow smirked and pins her down on the couch. "Practice baby making of course." Oichi blushed. "Really you horn ball!" "Oh yeah. Don't think the twins will be able to satisfy my dream of having more kids." "It's your dream now?" Oichi says giggling. "Hell, yeah it is. I want a bunch of them running around." He smirks and she started laughing. "Okay then. You win." Lust started to fill her eyes. "Let's make more mini Grimmys." Grimmjow chuckled as they kissed.

As months went by it was now July 16th, Isabella's 3rd birthday. It was going to be Hello kitty them. At Chad's apartment, Oichi was over helping him set things up. Jess, and Orihime where there as well. Jess was going on four months; her next checkup would be in August where she and Ulquiorra would learn the gender of their child. Grimmjow, Ichigo, and Ulquiorra had the kids for a while under the party was set up.

In the kitchen, Oichi was making snacks and had the birthday cake covered. The kitchen was covered in many finger snacks. Hello kitty cookies, sandwiches, small cakes, candy and much more. In the living room, Chad was hanging up balloons and banners that had Bella's name on it. Under the banner was a table with gifts on it. There was a kids table in the middle of the floor covered in hello kitty tablecloth, hats, plates, and seat cover. Jess was pouting as she ate some food. Oichi wouldn't let her do much other than wrap the rest of the gifts. "I can help cook to…" She says stuffing her face. Orihime chuckled at her. "No, you know how we all felt during our pregnancy. Just relax and eat your fill." Jess sighs. "Fine."

Chad smiles. "Thank you for all your help. I wouldn't have known Bella was into Hello kitty. She's mostly a tomboy since she's been with me. Orihime chuckles. "She was so cute at the Easter egg hunt. One of the eggs had a Hello kitty toy in it. She never let it go." Jess smiled. "Yeah very cute. Just the little sparkle in her eyes was enough to tell us." Chad nodded. "She has been a great blessing to me but with my schedule I know she gets lonely when I leave so I was thinking of giving her another sibling." They smiled at him. "Aw! I think that would be a wonderful idea!" Orihime says. Jess nods in agreement. "Having a little brother or sister would surely excite her. I say go for it when you have a chance." Chad nods again. "Thank you all for your support." In the kitchen Oichi was smiling as she listen to the conversation. 'He makes a wonderful father. Stepping outside his comfort zone to make Bella happy.'

Once everything was set, the boys brought the kids back. When Bella walked through the door she was wearing a Hello kitty dress. Her eyes widen in surprise. "Hello Kitty!" She yelled and ran around the place. She then saw Chad holding a small crown with ears poking on top of it. "Daddy!" She ran to him. He bends down. "Happy birthday Bella. Here let me put on your birthday crown." She giggles as he places it on her head. Emma walked up and hugged her from behind. "Happy birthday Bella!" Bella hugs her back.

As everyone got settle in, Grayson came along with Grimmjow and Rukia brought Ichika. Chad had games set up for them and prize. One was pin the bow on Hello kitty where Bella won that. Next it was a hide and seek game that Grayson one. The third one was a matching game where they had to match shapes and colors. Emma one that. In the end all the kids got a small candy bag. When the games were done the food was served. The kids sat at the kitty table.

While eating Oichi and Grimmjow notice how close Ichika was sitting to Grayson. They saw Grayson share his food with her. Oichi's eyes sparkled just a bit while Grimmjow sighs. 'Please…anyone but her…' Orihime had Kazuki in her lap. "So, Jess, Ulquiorra? Are you both excited about learning the gender if your new addition?" Jess nodded. "I don't know why but I just have a feeling that we are going to have a baby girl. What about hun?" "As long as the baby comes healthy, I don't mind which gender it is." The girls giggled at him. "What about you and Ichigo? Wedding plans changed again right?" Ichigo nodded. "Yes, now that we have been working full force, we have a lot of money saved up for it. It will be a small wedding with family and friends. We don't need a reception party when we can just go over to Oichi's house to eat." Oichi laughs. "So, my house is the party house. I don't mind that. Just give me a menu and I'll have the food all worked out."

Orihime looked at her. "Also…Oichi do you mind making the attire for the wedding?" Oichi smiles. "Of course! Soon my shop should be up and running for good." Grimmjow nodded. "Yeah. We have been having issues here and there with the building. Bad wiring, the land is slightly tilted so we had to rebuild a part of the store from scratch and make proper measurements all the wall we are working on this school of yours." Ulquiorra sips on his water. "You are lucky my skills came to use. You were already close to stretching your men thin." Grimmjow frowns. "And he appreciates at it. Back to the wedding. When will it be?" "It will be next year in January on the 10th." Oichi smiled. "I can't wait!" Jess nodded. "Same here! Have you figured out bridesmaids and groomsmen?" Orihime and Ichigo looked at each other. "We are still talking about that. It's going to be a small wedding to save money." Oichi nodded. "Well just let us know and keep up update."

When eating was done Bella started to open her gifts. She got a new bedroom set for Hello Kitty. Clothes, toys, Books, hello kitty stuff animals, hair products, and much more. She was very overjoyed by everything. They kids then played around more while Oichi was in the kitchen cleaning up. Grimmjow walking in carrying the twins who were up and smiling at him. "You almost done? The twins are down to their last two bottles each." Oichi turned to him and nodded. "Hey Grimmjow?" "Yeah?" Oichi blushed slightly. "Um…I don't mind giving you as many kids you want but are, we going to stay the way we are?" He walked to her. "What do you mean?" "Like…just a couple. Boyfriend, girlfriend type thing?" Grimmjow raised his eyebrow and then laughed. "You're an idiot." Oichi frowned slightly hurt. "Why am I an idiot for wanting to be more than your girl and baby mama…" Grimmjow shook his head. "No, you're an idiot for thinking something like that in the first place. I've already plan to make you my wife one day so don't fret." Oichi heart skipped a bit. "Really?" Grimmjow rolls his eyes. "Since I've been out of jail how many times have, I lied to you? Haven't I kept all my promises including giving you two cute looking babies?" He bounced the twins making them giggled. "How many times must I yell to the Gods that you are mine and I'm yours." He steps closer to her. "When the day comes, you will be my wife hell if you want you can consider us married. We don't need rings or a ceremony or whatever." Oichi smiles. "I see. That's sweet of you to say. Oichi Yamamoto Jaegerjaquez. Sounds cute right?" Grimmjow chuckles. "Of course, it does." They shared a kiss. The twins squealed out slightly, moving in Grimmjow's arm excitedly.

In the living room, Jess was leaning on the wall listening. She chuckled with a smile. "I can't wait to be see that wedding one day." Ulquiorra walked up to her. "Come along. Let us go home." Jess nodded taking his arm. "I love you Ulquiorra." "I love you both as well." He replies making her giggle.

August soon came. An early morning on the 20th, Jess and Ulquiorra were at the hospital waiting for Uryu to find the gender. Jess yawns and she lays on the bed. The nurse had weighed her and took her measurements. Some of the woman were looking at Ulquiorra with lust but frowned at Jess for having him. Soon Uryu came. "Sorry for then wait." Jess smiles. "Good morning. It's okay thank you for seeing us. I can't wait to see our baby genders" Uryu smiled and gets the tablet ready.

He pulled her shirt up and placed warm gel on her belly. "I thought it would be cold?" "Well I switched it out. Some women like it warm some cold. I write that down for the next time they come. "So, what do you think you're having?" He says turning the screen to them. "As long as it's healthy." Ulquiorra says. Jess nods. Uryu smiles and pushes his glasses up. "I see. Then let's find out." He put the wand on her belly and moved it around. A picture appeared on the screen making Jess smile. "Look hun! Our baby!" Ulquiorra nodded. Looking at the screen and chuckled. "Congratulations you two. It's a girl." Jess's eyes lit up. "A girl! How exciting!" Ulquiorra looked at the screen. "I see. So, I can go ahead and get the nursery started. Jess giggles. "Pictures please!" "Of course. Are you reading the book I gave you?" Jess nods. "Yea and we got the ones your recommended for us."

"Good. By now your daughter will start becoming more active to where you can notice the kicks. Shes beginning to sleep and wake up at regular intervals. She can actually be awakened by sudden noises so don't be to surprise if you feel a reaction due to that." Jess nodded. He cleaned off her stomach and pulled her shirt down. He took the picture and handed them to her. "Thank you Uryu. See you next month." Uryu nodded as Ulquiorra helped her down. Jess smiled looking down at the pictures. "She's so cute hun. I wonder if he could do a 3-D print of her next time."

Nel was home alone. Grayson was at Oichis for the week and Nnoitra was working. She hasn't spoken to Oichi since the day she snapped at her. She also wasn't feeling to good today. "If Oichi was here I bet she would know what to do. I'm so dumb for snapping at her like that." She was laying on the bed with a green face. A huge urge to puke roses up. She got up and ran to the bathroom.

When she was finished, she cleans her mouth out trying to think if she ate something that might didn't agree with her. She sighs out and places her hands on the sink. "Ugh…I haven't felt this sick since I was pregnant with Gra…" Her went wide. "No…" She dropped down and open the bottom of the cabinet. "No…No no no no!" She grabbed a box of pregnancy tests. "Please don't let me be. Not with him. Anyone but that fuckin ass!" She closed the door with a slam.

Moments later she was pacing. "Dear lord, if you cared for at all you would not let these tests be positive. Tell me it's some silly joke and I ate something that didn't settle. Or better yet I'm dreaming. Just push me off the best so I can wait up." She sighs and gulps looking at the two tests on the sink edge. She looked at both and her heart sinks a bit. The test was both positive. Nel rubbed her head. "Oh my…God…" She felt dizzy and felt herself falling just as everything went black.
