---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hitsugaya, Byakuya, Rukia, Ichigo, and practically every shinigami was standing in or outside the fourth division. Apparently, news about what happened to Rena spread in about an hour. In that hour, Unohana-taichou and her division were healing Rena.
"Taichou, she's going to be fine. Rena-taichou's strong," Matsumoto said. She wanted to comfort him, but nothing was working.
Yachiru came up to Rukia, and Ichigo. "Is Chiki-chan going to be okay?" Yachiru asked.
Rukia bent down and told her, "Nee-chan's going to be fine. Don't worry."
Everyone was saying that, but they were all thinking: I hope she's okay.
Just then, Unohana-taichou came out. Immediately, everyone crowded around her. She told Hitsugaya to follow her. He followed her into the next room.
"Is she okay?" Hitsugaya asked.
"She's fine. We stopped the bleeding and she should wake up soon...but the child's gone. She lost too much blood. We couldn't save the child. Sorry, Hitsugaya-taichou," Unohana replied, sadly.
Hitsugaya exited the room and went into the next one, the one Rena was in. He found Rukia by her side and everyone else standing not far away from her. He walked over to the bed. Rena was not yet awake, and he was somewhat glad. He didn't know how to tell her. He didn't want to tell her, but he had to.
"Nee-chan..." Rukia called.
As if hearing Rukia, Rena woke up. She looked at everyone in the room and gave a weak smile. Everyone looked relieved and left the room, knowing Hitsugaya had something to tell her.
He sat down by her bed and whispered, "I'm so glad you're okay."
Rena smiled at him. "I'm fine, don't worry."
He looked away from her. She noticed this and gently reached a hand out to touch his cheek.
"What's wrong?" she asked. He didn't answer her; only staring at her.
"Toushirou, what's wrong?" she asked again.
"Rena, the...the b-baby's gone," he finished in a whisper. (a/n: please don't kill me!)
"No, no..." Tears started to pour from her eyes. Hitsugaya wrapped an arm around her. He knew she would not be happy to hear about this.
"I'm sorry, Rena, I'm sorry." She only just continued to cry. She couldn't believe she lost the child.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't strong enough," she managed to whisper. Hitsugaya ran his fingers through her hair.
"It's not your fault."
They stayed in each other's arms that whole day. Neither wanting to part.
Rena stayed in the hospital for about a month before she was released. Everyone was concerned about her. Since she found out about the baby, she always had a sad look in her eyes. It took about two weeks to get her to smile. After that, things started to get better. At first Hitsugaya was against her being released so soon, but she only threatened him.
Flashback
"Can I be released tomorrow?" Rena asked.
"You can, but I don't think that would be wise yet," Unohana replied.
Rena sighed. "I'm fine. It's not like I'm going to kill myself."
"No, Rena. Stay in the hospital," Hitsugaya told her.
"But, I want to be released!" she whined.
"No."
Rena grew frustrated then.
"I'll leave you two alone," the healer said.
"Toushirou, I want to be released. I'm fine!"
"No, you will stay here."
Rena grew very irritated then. "Hitsugaya, Toushirou. I want to be released. I've been here for a month. I've healed fine!! If you don't let me out of here tomorrow, I will personally make you stay here for a year!!!!" she threatened.
Hitsugaya flinched when she used his full name. He knew she was serious. She wouldn't give a second thought as to injuring me. He didn't want to face her wrath. He decided to give in.
"Fine. I'll see you tomorrow."
End flashback
Rena walked toward her office, and when she went inside, she saw her lieutenant sitting at the desk doing paperwork.
"Welcome back, taichou," Hisagi greeted.
Rena smiled. "Thanks. It's great to be back...though I could do without that pile of paperwork," Rena said, while she glanced at her desk.
Hisagi laughed. He was glad his captain was back to normal.
"Hisagi, you may go. You're pretty much done," Rena said.
Hisagi nodded and exited the room. Rena went over to her desk and sat down.-sigh- Might as well get this done.
It took Rena two hours to finish her pile of paperwork. Stretching her arms she got up. She was on her way to the tenth division.
When Rena arrived, she heard yelling.
"MATSUMOTO!!!!! GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!!" Hitsugaya shouted.
"But taichou! I want to know how many times you and Rena-taichou di-"
"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!!" Hitsugaya yelled.
"What about me?" Rena asked as she entered the room.
"Nothing," Hitsugaya said as he glared at his lieutenant to warn her to keep her mouth shut.
Matsumoto ignored her captain anyway. "Oh, I was just wondering how many times you and taichou did it. After all, you conceived a child."
Rena and Hitsugaya turned many different shades of red. "Th-that's n-n-none of your business, R-Rangiku!!!" Rena stuttered.
"Get out Matsumoto!!!" Hitsugaya said. Matsumoto walked out of the office laughing.
Hitsugaya and Rena sighed. Hitsugaya then walked up to Rena and said, "I see you're released."
"Yeah, I was released about two hours ago. I had to finish my paperwork," Rena replied.
"I have something to tell you."
"Okay, what?"
"We're going to have to go to a meeting in two days to discuss about what happened. Yamamoto sou-taichou sent me a hell butterfly with that message," Hitsugaya said.
Rena sighed. "Okay. Well, I'm bored. Want to spar with me?"
"Fine." With that, they went out to the tenth division training grounds and started sparring. It was a good three hours before they stopped.
Rena collapsed on the ground. "I'm beat! You don't go easy on anybody!!" Rena complained.
Hitsugaya smiled. "I'm going to take a shower. Want to meet at the hilltop afterwards?"
"Sure. I need a shower too!! I stink of sweat!"
The happy couple showered (to perverts : showered separately) and met at the hilltop. They then went to get some dinner.
After dinner
"What do you want to do now?" Hitsugaya asked.
"I don't know," Rena responded. Just then, she looked up at the sky and decided to watch the stars.
"What to watch the stars?" she asked.
"Sure, let's go to the hilltop. We'll have a better view."
They arrived at the hilltop and sat down. Rena looked up at the sky and smiled. She loved moments like these. Just staring at the sky, with no work and with the one person she loved. She then started to frown. Our child could enjoy this too.... Rena didn't want to admit it, but she was still very unstable when it came to that. She didn't want to lose the baby. A tear slowly made it's way down her cheek. Hitsugaya saw this and embraced her. He knew she would be like this. He too, was sad about the loss of the child. Rena began to cry even more. Hitsugaya tightened his hold. It broke his heart to see her cry. She was usually so strong. Hitsugaya softly stroked her hair to calm her down. Within fifteen minutes Rena was asleep. She cried herself to sleep, thought Hitsugaya. He fell asleep a while later. Both were upset about the loss of their child. When morning came, they woke up.
"How are you feeling?" Hitsugaya asked.
"Better. -sigh- It'll take some time," Rena replied.
Hitsugaya only nodded. "Come on, let's go get some breakfast!" Rena exclaimed.
"Okay."
After the two ate, they returned to their divisions. They would meet later. He wanted to talk to her.
