If shopping for baby clothes with your loved one was supposed to be a joyous event, Orihime sure wasn't making it look that way. Her face was void of any signs of emotions and she was sure Renji was starting to catch on to her feelings as well. The way he looked at her as she shopped still showed love, but held a bit of suspicion in it.

She didn't blame him though, it had only been a few hours since their relationship became exposed and it might have been hard for him knowing that just last week she was in the bed with some other man. She knew this, and thereby sought to comfort him in his time of doubt.

Orihime quickly purchased the clothes she thought appropriate for her baby walked over to the bench that Renji was sitting on outside the store and sat close by him. Renji just stared ahead, almost as if he was ignoring her. This talk wasn't going to be easy, but she would push through.

"Is there something wrong baby?"

No response.

She put a hand on his shoulder, "Renji?"

That had caught his attention.

Snapped out of his own thoughts, Renji turned and looked at Orihime. He saw the concern in her eyes and knew that it would be okay if he asked her.

"are you sure your ready to marry me?"

Orihime's eye widened at this, how could he ask such a question? After all they had been through.

"Renji you know I want to be with you, I love you."

"I know, nut what about after the wedding? When we come back, do you ever wonder what our friends might think of us?"

"I do, but I know that we can make this work one way or another. We shouldn't have to hide our feelings anymore. We deserve to be happy."

"Your right, I just hope they accept us and know we're serious about this relationship."

"Me too," Orihime looked down at the bag of clothes she had just bought and continued ,"I would hate it if the baby were discriminated against because of us. You know how fast talk gets around in this town."

At this Renji turned and put his arms around Orihime, "I would never let that happen."

"I love you Renji."

"I love you too."

Meanwhile…

Isshin Kurosaki walked up the stairs to the apartment complex which belonged to his son and wife. It had been quite some time since he had visited them and since he was in the neighborhood doing business, he thought it'd be okay to stop by.

Reaching the door he was searching for, he stretched out his arm and began pounding on the door.

"Ichigo! Open up right now, it's your father! I know you're in there, I can smell the cigarette you just lit up. "

Silence.

"Alright, you asked for it. I'm coming in, whether you like it or not. I'm knocking down the door in 5, 4, 3, 2"

"Don't even think getting to one you old man!" Ichigo said as he opened the door for his father to enter.

"Old man? What are you talking about? I'm still young. I'm still hip." Isshin said as he moved to sit on the sofa.

"So, what brings you here?" Ichigo said awkwardly, trying to start a conversation that wouldn't be followed by a fight.

"No reason, just thought I'd come by and see my son and his beautiful wife. Where is the lovely lady anyway?" Isshin said.

"….."

"Did you hear me Ichigo?" Isshin now had concern lacing his voice. " where is she?"

"She's. Not. Here." Ichigo answered through gritted teeth.

Not understanding the depressed tone in Ichigo's voice, Isshin continued his interrogation, "Well, when will she be back? I'm anxious to see her."

"You won't be seeing her any time soon."

"Why not?"

"Because she left me."

Isshin's face grew grim, "What do you mean she left you? What is going on?"

"She left me for another man," Ichigo replied with a strained voice, "Says she gonna marry him and have his kid too."

"How so, she married to you?" Isshin asked confused.

"That's what I said! But she found a way around it, there's an island off the coast that allows a person to have more than one spouse"

"This means?"

"This means she doesn't need any divorce papers, just a pass port and another man."

"Are you going to do something about it?" Isshin challenged.

"Yes, I was working on something before you got here actually." Ichigo said with bitterness evident in his voice.

"Well, what's your plan?"

"I'm going to make her fall in love with me all over again. Just like when we were teenagers. How does that sound?"

"It sounds good. I can't understand why Orihime would leave you. You're such a great guy.

"Thanks dad." Ichigo had failed to tell his father about how he abused Orihime daily and had an affair with Rukia. But that didn't matter; what father didn't know wouldn't kill him.

LATER

Rukia walked down the hallway to the complex she shared with Renji. she was horny but not really in the mood for Ichigo to just fuck her and leave. She wanted Renji, he always made sex all about her. Perhaps that's because the sex he has with Orihime is made all about him. The little slut. Rukia frowed at this thought. She was a possessive woman and she really didn't like the fact that Orihime was sleeping with her man. Although I am sleeping with hers.

Rukia stopped at door she was looking for and began searching for her keys. Once she had them she fiddled with lock for a few seconds before opening the door and entering.

" Renji, are you there honey?" Rukia asked as she put on her best sweet voice.

The only reply she got was a groan that came from Renji's lips. It seemed to be coming from the bedroom. At this Rukia rushed to the bedroom with a cloud of fury coming over her. That bitch had better not be in there with him.

Rukia slowly opened the bedroom door and peaked her head in to find Renji sitting on the edge of the bed with his head thrown back and his hand caressing Orihime's long auburn then looked down and saw Orihime on her knees with her hands on Renji's thighs and her head bobbing up and down on his cock. She seems to have done this before judging from the moans she is eliciting from him. Whore. Rukia watched for a few more minutes and listened to moans and groans Renji was making. She listened to the way he called Orihime's name as if she was the only person in the world and suddenly became very jealous. Renji had never made those noises for her, or called her name like that. In fact, he never says her name when they are having sex.

The next thing she knew, Rukia was across the room with the scariest face she could muster up.

"Renji, what is this? Why are with this bitch?" she said as she pointed to a shocked Orihime was now getting up to sit on the edge of the bed next to Renji.

Renji, on the other hand, was furious. Not just because Rukia had called Orihime a bitch, but also because he was so near to sweet release and Rukia had just walked in and ruined it.

"Rukia, what are you doing here?"

"What do mean 'what are you doing here?' aren't I allowed to go where ever I want? I am an adult."

"Of course you are, but I'm pretty sure there's a law that says you can't break into people's homes." Renji said rather- of- factly.

"This is my home."

"No, your home is that hotel room where you had sex with Ichigo at." It wasn't Renji who said this, but Orihime.

Rukia, whose attention was now on Orihime sharply replied, "And your home is on the corner where you fuck anyone who gives you attention. Slut."

" shut up Rukia," Renji said as he stood up in a rage, "We all know the only slut here is you. Now I think you should leave."

"Why's that Renji? It's still my apartment. The one who should be leaving is her," Rukia shouted as she pointed towards Orihime who was now standing next to Renji clinging to one of his arms.

Renji had had enough of the arguing with Rukia and anxious to get back to his previous activities with Orihime, "Fine you can stay, but don't get angry if you walk in on me and Orihime doing something more intimate than this, because whether you like it or not, she's staying."

Rukia was shocked. Renji had never talked to her like that. It scared her slightly. He talks as if he would actually have sex with Orihime right in front of me. And after what I did to Orihime she would happily fuck my guy in front of me. I guess I should leave them be.

Rukia tuned back into reality, she looked at the new couple with a defeated face and announced, "Well it seems I'm not welcome here. I guess I'll be taking my leave," reached the door and then turned around, "If anybody calls I'll be staying with my brother," then she was gone.

Orihime's face held a bit of regret in saw this and turned her to face him.

"Hey baby what's wrong?"

"Nothing I just didn't want her to find out this way."

"how did you wanted her to find out?" Renji asked confused.

" perhaps on a phone call while we were on our way to the island. It would less scary."

Renji laughed at this, " you don't have to worry about that any more. Besides, it is better to have done it now than before the wedding. Now we have plenty of time to get our feelings straight."

" I guess you're right," Orihime said as she smiled at Renji.

"thank you, now how about we continue what we were doing before our rude interruption," Renji said as he wrapped his arms around Orihime's waist.

"I'd like that a lot."

Wow, that was one long chapter. Took me a while but I just could not bear the thoughts in my heads that call me lazy. Any way I hope that you guys like this chapter. I was determined to make it a long one so I made sure that all the main characters were in it. And also, the next chapter will be featuring Byakuya himself so that should be exciting. I can't wait to start on that.

I know that I got some reviews on my previous chapter so thank to all those who did, and thanx to those who added this to their favorite stories or me to their favorite authors list. That was really kind of you.

And thank you for your patience as well, I know your all waiting for a lemon and I will get you one soon. Probably within the next three chapters.

I'm gonna stop talking now.
