Chapter 17 – Telling Dad, the News and One's Lover Making Sure that No Harm Comes to One

Ichigo's P.O.V:

Dad, is in the kitchen when I come into my house that I not stepped into for a while, because Urahara-san, had wanted to check some things with him in private then go up to him, while he turns to see who had come in.

I had made the decision to tell him, about my marriage to Kenpachi and that I was having a fourth child. I was nervous about it and seem to walk back and forth, until I go up to him as he watches me with interest.

"Ichigo, is something bothering you." He says, which makes me stop pacing about due to my nerves and open my mouth to speak, when suddenly I hear my sisters come running down the stairs.

Kuzu and Karin, must have noticed me from the window and soon they are hugging me, both tightly to them as Kuzu, begins to cry with joy that I was home. They had missed me and felt like, kicking Urahara-san's butt when I got back to his shop.

Kenpachi's P.O.V:

(Author's Note – First time writing a POV for Him. Okay, let's do this)

"Achooooo!"

The sneeze that comes from Urahara-san, makes me nearly spill the hot cup of mild Sake – I didn't want to get drunk – and turn to look at him, while the both of us, sit on the veranda at the front of shop.

"Sorry. Someone I think someone is saying something about me through the Soul Eether – probably Ichigo." He says, which makes me give a slight grin, which I hide as I take a sip from the cup and feel proud that my lover was saying it.

Even if it was through the Soul Eether – whatever that was, I didn't pay attention to that kind of stuff when I joined the Soul Society – then remember the time when I had the dream.

Or more like Erotic Dream, as I thought about and blush fully as it all comes flooding back to me. I hoped that Urahara-san hadn't noticed it and quickly, re-fill the cup with mild Sake and take sip of it.

How it showed Ichigo, flushed and wanton with him begging me not stop, while we were both in forest I did not recognise. How it had felt so real, that I was inside him and remember had woken up, sweating heavily as well feeling a painful ache between my thighs.

Now, he was pregnant with my fourth child and had already given birth to Three beautiful ones – Kieo, Rye and Li-Li. Sweet daughter, who wanted to learn how to fight and handle a sword, when she grew up, while her Brothers were so different from her.

Mischief little things in disguise and had already pranked poor Tessai this morning with the cakes he was making – by adding the very Spicy pepper – to the mix. I was surprised that anyone could stomach those and one person could.

Renji, pregnant and bearing Shiro's child had craving for them. He was also starting to glow as Yoruichi-san had called it when visiting and I come out of thoughts, when I notice a distinctive black cat with recognisable Spiritual Pressure is sitting near the front door of the shop.

"Yoruichi-san?!" Urahara-san, says in way that makes me splutter and soon cough, harshly then watch, while wiping my mouth, as he waddles over to her then picks up her, with a strange smile on his face.

He starts to say things, which make me blush so red that even though I hear Ikkaku, come up to me, I cannot keep the blush, from not rising and quickly pour all the mild Sake into the cup, draining the cup soon in one gulp as he looks at me, blinking.

"Captain, are you blushing?" He asks me, while Urahara-san is still saying things that were no doubt intentional to make me blush – the bastard, I would get him for this.

"NO!" I shout, instead feeling my voice go high-pitched in the process and quickly getting up, head inside as Ikkaku, begins to laugh out loud that the fact is on Captain was blushing like a red Strawberry.

I reach mine and Ichigo's Sleeping Quarters, without meeting anyone else who will ask questions then sliding the door open, step inside and slide it shut, behind me. I couldn't believe that Urahara-san had done that and wonder were had he got his information about it.

Ruffling a hand through my hair, I sigh softly at the fact that I was still getting used to the fact that I had fallen for Ichigo and head to the closet, opening it then look down at the small jewellery box that I had hidden under the spare Haori.

I open it and look at the two intricate rings that lay nestled in the fabric as I stroke the one that I'm planning to give to Ichigo – even though he wore a Spiritual Ring, around his finger when I had asked him to marry me – then place it back in its hiding place.

I close the closet door, stepping away and stroke the wood, softly then head to the bathroom, decided that need a shower to relax.

Ichigo's P.O.V:

I lean back in the warm bath, sighing softly and rest a hand on my slightly swollen abdomen, while feeling glad that I had told Dad, everything about me and Kenpachi. That I was with Kenpachi's fourth child and that I wore the Spiritual ring that had been given to me when he asked me to marry him, that night.

He loved me, so much and I, him. I loved his kisses, the way he held me after our lovemaking, the way he felt inside me and how he cared deeply for his children that I had borne, plus the one growing inside me.

I know that I would be giving to birth to the little one, because of what the vision had showed me, in a difficult situation then the bathroom, door opens as my Dad, comes in. He goes to the end of the bath and sits slightly on the edge of it then gently, smiles at me.

"I'm happy and proud of you, for telling me. Don't be embarrassed at that." He says, which makes me blush slightly, then hear the doorbell ring downstairs.

He looks at me and shrug my shoulders at him then he gets up, heading out and closing the bathroom door behind him.

Who would be calling at this moment?

It was late at night and I had thought of returning to Urahara-san's. Yet, I had felt tired and needed to relax for wee while, so this was why I was having a bath.

Footsteps sound, in the corridor and the door opens to reveal Kenpachi, grinning slightly as he leans against the doorway as I blush fully at his look. I was so going to murder my Dad, when I got out the bathroom and my lover soon steps inside, closing the door behind him.

He comes over, sliding the leather jacket off and placing it on the towel rail then sits on the edge of the bath, looking at me as he places a hand to the water. He looks like he had just a shower, his hair still slightly wet from it and slides his hand through the water then up my thigh, with a gentle caress.

I gasp softly at the touch, feeling him move it and take hold of my cheek then bends down, in the process falling in as he quickly flips me so he doesn't hurt me. He rises slightly, completely covered in soup suds on his clothes and completely soaked through, while the tank top he wears is clinging to muscular abs which I had noticed before.

He looks at himself and at me then gives a small laugh at the fact that he had fallen into the bath, while trying to kiss me. He takes hold of the shirt and slides it off then pushing me back to the other side, manages in some odd, funny way to get his jeans off.

I can't stop laughing at him and can feel myself having to bring a hand up to my mouth, because it was so funny then he chucks it on the floor, soon followed by his boxers. He pulls me back and turning me around, places me between his legs as he leans back in the bath.

The water was still warm, around us both and he soon places a cloth covered with bath shampoo on my chest, gently beginning to wash it with the cloth. I allow my body to relax against his, eyes fluttering close at the sensation, feeling him bring it up to my neck and wash it with cloth then places it down on the edge of the bath.

He helps me stand up, after asking me to drain the bath and I hear him taking hold of the shower head, which was above the bath on the wall then he uses it to wash the soup suds off my body.

He moves to my front, where he holds me with one hand so I don't slip and goes lower with the shower head, until I moan heavily at the sensation of the water from it, washing the place between my thighs as it sends tingles running up them in the process. My hips rock into it and soon he drops it, whirling me around then lifting me up, places me up against the tiled wall.

He pulls back to look at me, reaching up with one hand to switch the shower head off and still holding me, steps out of the bathtub with me then places me down. I can see that his face is flushed, chest rising and falling heavily and his green pupils have expanded slightly – there was also in them a hint of gold – then wraps a towel around me.

"Go wait for me in the bedroom. I'll be through in a minute." He says, breathlessly and nod in reply, doing what he wanted as he closes the bathroom door, behind me, when I step out into the corridor.

Was he finding it difficult to control the Beast within or was he still getting used to his emotions?

Kenpachi's P.O.V:

My chest is rising and falling, heavily as I stare at myself in the bathroom sink mirror and grip it slightly with my hands, while my heart is pounding against my ribcage. I can see in my own eyes, reflected in the glass that little flecks of gold were appearing and that my body, was aroused down between my thighs.

Grabbing a large nightgown from the bathroom closet, which was new and fresh, I shrug it on and tie it closed then turning a tap, splash my face to cool myself down. I was feeling hot, burning up inside and wondered was it because of Ichigo's passion for me that was making me feel that way.

I open the bathroom door, stepping out into the corridor and head to Ichigo's bedroom. I open the door, silently and step inside, seeing that he is in the bed, fast asleep. He had been tired and closing the door, quietly behind me, I head over to him then bend down, kissing him, gently on the forehead.

He shifts in his sleep, but does not wake from it and can feel through the bond that he was relaxed then sit down on the bed, which dips slightly under my weight and just watch as he calmly breathes in and out.

Placing a hand to my head, I wonder is this the right thing to do. Leave him, to check the energy disturbance that was coming from the Temple, where that rainy day the both of us had made love together.

Ichigo's bedroom window, sliding open makes me turn my head and see that Ikkaku, is crouching there, while Yumichika is standing close by then shifting to my Shinigami form, take hold of the Gigai.

I pull it close, making it stiffen slightly in my grip and soon begins to tremble in my arms at what I begin to whisper in its ear. I tell it to protect Ichigo, make sure that no harm comes to him if I don't come back then letting go of it, flash-step outside into the night.

I look back one more time, seeing it slide the window shut and sit back down on the bed, while Ichigo shifts slightly in his sleep then keep on moving as Ikkaku and Yumichika follow close behind.
