A few hours had pasted. Grimmjow had started Amu's milk as well as some stew and rice for the rest of the family. Ichigo took the bottle from Grimmjow, smiling a little at the other's confused look before starting to feed Amu, the little girl eating hungrily. Grimmjow then smiled, turning his attention back to the almost done stew and rice. Yuki ran into the room, a red crayon in one hand as he climbed onto his chair. "What's the crayon for, Yuki?" Grimmjow asked, serving the meal.
"I was coloring a picture!" The little boy chirped with a grin.
"Oh? What was it?" Ichigo asked, smiling a little.
"A dragon!" Yuki said proudly as he held up the crayon.
"You should show us after lunch…but can you put the crayon away so we can eat?" Grimmjow asked.
Yuki pouted. "Fine..." He muttered before hopping off of the chair and running into the living room to put his crayon away. Ichigo sat down in his chair with a small smile. Grimmjow smiled, kissing Ichigo gently before sitting as well. Ichigo grimaced when Grimmjow set a plate with a little bit of food on it in front of him and he used his free hand to push it in Grimmjow's direction. "Not hungry..." He sighed.
"Eat" Grimmjow commanded.
"...No." Ichigo replied, looking away.
"You didn't eat breakfast Ichigo…don't starve yourself" Grimmjow sighed, getting up from his seat. He approached Ichigo, kissing the other's forehead. "At least try Ichi" he pleaded.
"Grimm! I'm not hungry..." Ichigo nearly whined. Yuki came back into the room, still pouting a little as he climbed into his chair.
"Ichigo…eat" Grimmjow commanded, laying his hand against the orangette's cheek.
Ichigo shook his head again. "No."
"Why will you not eat…is it because of…" Grimmjow stopped.
Ichigo glared at Grimmjow before glancing at Yuki, whom was oblivious to the whole situation as he dug into his food. Grimmjow kissed Ichigo's nose. "Give me a good reason on why you refuse to eat" Grimmjow asked calmly, taking Amu from Ichigo.
"I just... I'm not hungry... that's all..." The orangette mumbled before looking away.
"You barely ate yesterday, haven't eaten today…Ichigo at least eat something" Grimmjow pleaded.
"Grimm..." Ichigo whined, pushing Grimmjow away.
"Ichigo" Grimmjow sighed.
Ichigo huffed and folded his arms on the table before resting his head in them. Grimmjow sighed. "You will eat something today…I don't care if you think you aren't hungry…you have to eat something."
"...L-later..." The orangette muttered before sighing. Grimmjow nodded, sitting back down.
"Daddy, this is good!" Yuki said with a grin before shoveling another spoonful into his mouth.
"Glad you like it" Grimmjow smiled.
Yuki giggled. "You're not as good a cook as mommy though." He giggled again when Grimmjow pouted. "You're still a good cook though daddy!"
"I cook very well" Grimmjow pouted.
"...Yeah, but mommy's better! Momma's are supposed to be." Yuki giggled again before resuming eating.
"…I can agree with that" Grimmjow chuckled.
Ichigo smiled a little before burying his face into his arms. Grimmjow started to eat, Amu on his arm. "...Can I have seconds?" Yuki asked after a minute, his plate surprisingly clean already.
"Sure" Grimmjow smiled, putting more stew and rice on the white haired child's plate.
Yuki giggled and started to eat. Ichigo looked as if he had fallen asleep, though it was hard to tell. Amu had finished her bottle so Grimmjow took it and started to burp her. After she had burped, Amu started to giggle again before she put her thumb in her mouth. Grimmjow smiled, sitting in her highchair so he could finish eating. Ichigo peaked out from his arms, before getting up and grabbing Amu and sitting back down in his chair to cuddle with her, one arm pillowing his head while the other held the little girl close. Grimmjow smiled at adorable sight. The phone suddenly rung. Yuki hopped out of his chair and ran over to the phone before Grimmjow could even get up. "Hello!" He chirped, his smile transforming into a grin.
The person on the other end chuckled slightly. "Hey Yuki…how are ya?" Gin asked.
"Gin! Is Pan there?" Yuki squealed, forgetting to answer the silver-haired male.
"Yes she is…but she can't talk on the phone right now…but we can come over if you want" Gin responded, smiling though no one could see him.
"You would?" The little boy gasped.
"Of course…we will come over in a little bit." Gin replied.
"Yay!" Yuki squealed.
Grimmjow sighed. Gin and Pantera were visiting. "We will see you in a bit Yuki" Gin chuckled.
"Okay! Bye!" the boy chirped with a smile before hanging up the phone. "Daddy!" He squealed as he ran over and climbed into his lap. "Pan's coming over!" Yuki said with a grin.
"Awesome, you better finish eating before she gets here" Grimmjow replied, kissing the child's head.
The little boy nodded enthusiastically before climbing off of his lap and running over and climbing into his chair to shovel the last of the food on the plate into his mouth. Grimmjow quickly finished eating as well, just in time for the knocking at the door. Yuki ran to the door and pulled it open, though he had to strain to reach the doorknob "Pan!" He giggled when he was immediately tackled by the large, white panther, whom continued to lick his face repeatedly. Grimmjow smiled at them. Gin came in a moment later. "They are adorable together" he laughed. Ichigo had finally gotten out of the chair so he could watch Yuki get 'lick-attacked' by Pantera. "Hey Ichigo" Gin chirped, waving a hand. Ichigo smiled weakly at him, giving a small wave. "How is Amu?" Gin asked, walking over to Ichigo.
"She's fine..." The orangette murmured, looking away.
Gin nodded, looking down at Amu. He smiled at her. The little girl giggled and reached out to him. He took one of her hands gently. "Hi Amu~"
The girl giggled even more. Grimmjow pulled Pantera off of Yuki, closed the door and pulled Yuki to his feet. Yuki was still giggling every once and a while as he clung to Grimmjow's leg. Grimmjow smiled at him. "Daddy? Can we go to the park again today?" Yuki asked excitedly, as if a demon hadn't tried to kill him at the very same place.
"I guess" Grimmjow replied.
"Yay!" Yuki grinned before he ran off to his room to get some toys to bring to the park.
Grimmjow sighed, looping his arm around Ichigo's waist. Pantera was already outside again. Ichigo leaned into the other with a sigh as Yuki came back into the room holding his favorite ball.
At the park, Gin found an interest in playing with Yuki and Pantera while Grimmjow sat with Ichigo and Amu. Suddenly, there was a mob of women pulling Grimmjow away from the group to get his autograph, some even claiming to 'want to have his children' before fainting. Ichigo watched with wide eyes as he sat on the bench. He was surprised that they had found them, due to the fact that they were in a rather secluded area of the wooded park. Grimmjow had been in a few top hit movies in the last few years and his popularity had only skyrocketed. A pale hand came to rest on Ichigo's shoulder. "Ichigo" a voice purred softly. Ichigo's eyes widened as he jumped nearly a foot in the air and his hold on Amu tightened. Another hand turned Ichigo's head towards his 'mate'. A pair of slightly warm lips met Ichigo's. "I'm sorry" the voice whispered.
Ichigo squeezed his eyes shut as he pulled away. This could not be happening. It just couldn't. Shiro stood there, watching Ichigo. He didn't say another word, stared at his beautiful mate. He knew it pained his mate to see him, but at the moment he didn't care. He wanted to but he couldn't bring himself to care. "What are you doing here..." The orangette managed out, though his voice was pained. His wrists itched and his cuts burned.
"I came back for you and Yuki" Shiro blinked, cocking his head to the side. His eyes were completely animal like now.
"...Sh-shi i cant... please, go away... I-I have a new family now..." Ichigo swallowed as he tucked Amu's head into the crook of his neck.
"But you are hurting here…I love you Ichigo…what happened to our love? I love you Ichigo and I can't stand seeing you and Yuki near that Grimmjow…please Ichigo" Shiro responded, placing a hand on the orangette's cheek tenderly.
"Shi... I can't... I just can't... I-I'm with Grimmjow now..." The orangette let out a shaky breath as he turned his head away from the demon.
"…You still call me Shi though…that means you still have feelings for me…please Ichigo, I love you, I was jealous before…I-i thought you lo…I thought wrong before" Shiro continued.
"Th-that doesn't mean..." Ichigo trailed off, his eyes watering slightly.
Shiro wrapped his arms around Ichigo. "I refuse to let you go again…you and I are mates" he growled.
"Sh-shi, wait!" Ichigo gasped, squirming around.
"For what?" Shiro asked, pressing his lips to Ichigo's.
"Mmph!" Ichigo squirmed around, trying to break the kiss but at the same time trying not to hurt Amu. Shiro released Ichigo's lips, scooping him in a bridal style carrying method. "Ah!L-leggo!" Ichigo said, his eyes wide as Amu started to cry from being jostled around too much.
"Momma!" Yuki cried as he dropped the ball he was holding in his hands. Gin tried to grab Yuki but he was too fast. Shiro froze for a moment, staring at Yuki. "Yuki…I'm sorry for I have done to you as well" he stated.
"Put mommy down you meany!" Yuki said with a scowl.
Shiro smiled. "You have your mommy's scowl" he stated, quickly picking up Yuki and racing away with the family.
"Leggo!" Yuki snapped as he wiggled around to try to get Shiro to let go of him. Shiro refused to release HIS son. Grimmjow had broken from the crowd, eyes widening at the sight of his children and 'wife' being stolen away. He growled, following. A Human could never keep up with a demon though, the bluenette was quickly lacking behind. "Daddy!" Yuki cried when he saw Grimmjow. His eyes were watering as he tried to break free of Shiro's grip. Ichigo had stilled, his eyes squeezed shut as he held onto Amu. Grimmjow tried to run faster but soon his family was out of sight. Shiro had stolen them.
The next chapter is the final one...Yes Shiro is a bit...how do I say this...Crazy...and we had almost forgotten Grimmjow's job... Yeah...
