A smile spread across her face when she saw Grimmjow carrying her daughter, no their daughter. With Ushio tucked into his arms asleep he really looked like a father.

"Well look at you, being a father suits you Grimmjow," Ichigo said, kissing him lightly, she had really missed him during the past few years.

"Nah I hate the little fuckers but Ushio is different, she's a smart kid, a good kid," he said wrapping an arm around her waist, kissing her properly. Ichigo's eyes went wide, he had mentioned once that he would never love anyone again.

"I thought you'd never love anyone again? Not after that Ichigo woman," she whispered, wondering if he no longer loved her, that if she did reveal the truth he would hate her.

"I will always love Ichigo, but the reason I said that was because I thought I could never bring myself to love anyone again. She was one of a kind, and so are you Sunako," he explained, kissing her again. Ichigo blushed, ruining the moment with a painful hiss, Grimmjow's arm resting against her broken ribs. He let go quickly, apologises tumbling from his lips and grabbed her hand instead.

"How bout I tape up yer ribs when we get back to mine?"

Ichigo sighed lightly, watching as Grimmjow read to Ushio. She was asleep but had demanded minutes earlier that he read it all, asking for Grimm to read it instead. It made her smile but at the same time a little bit sad that her daughter didn't want her. Grimmjow looked up at her with a massive grin on his face, it seemed he was enjoying this. It wasn't long before he got up joining her in the couch.

"I was worried at the beginning about getting to attached to her, Ushio has a real father and one day you'll go back to him but there's this voice in the back of my mind that keeps telling me not to worry, that you'll pick me over him," he said, pulling Sunako to his side, making sure not to touch her broken ribs.

"She doesn't know her father and I never talk about him to her. One day I will tell them both but it won't happen until I clean up this mess with Aizen. There's only one other person that knows the truth about her father and that's Sado, only because he was with me when I found out." Grimmjow frowned, it wasn't the first time she had mentioned Chad. He was confused about their relationship and slightly jealous. This man seemed to know everything about her.

"Ya seem to tell that man everything," he mumbled, holding her a little bit tighter then before. It seemed he was falling for her fast.

"Jealous are we?" She asked, a smile gracing her lips as he looked away a scowl on his lips. "Don't be Grimm. Sado is like a brother to me, the reason I tell him everything is because he was there for me since the beginning of my descent into madness. He was my source of strength when I had none and he never questioned anything, he listened to all I had to say without judging me and at the time it was what I needed. I have you now Grimm, someone who can help me by being with me, can you do that for me?" She asked, resting her head on his shoulder. He grumbled at her for a second before saying yes, he didn't think he even had the will to say no to her anymore.

"We better get some sleep, we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow," he murmured, stretching out on the couch. Ichigo frowned having forgotten about that.

"Do you think your father will like me?" She asked, thinking about the man she had met years ago. Grimmjow snickered, trying to hide it behind his hand. Ichigo smacked him across the chest, but that just seemed to make it worse, laughter echoing across the room.

"Of all the things to be worried about this is what you pick," he muttered between laughs, sitting up again in an attempt to stop. He hugged her once the laughter stopped, hoping to erase the scowl from her face.

"My dad will love you Sunako, sides he's been dropping hints to me and the little piss ant that he wants grand kids. Before he dies."
