Chapter 2
Now, you know how last time I'd told that 3 weeks later my test said positive. Well, I didn't know that it meant I was pregnant or missed my period either. The moment my family found out, everything was in a uproar. Ichigo swearing to kill the person who got me pregnant, Rukia-nee bugging me about who the father was, Yuzu repeating the same act as Rukia and telling me all the symptoms of pregnancy by month, and my father crying to the poster of mom(that he had in his pocket) yelling nonsense like "MASAKI MY DARLING, WE ARE GOING TO BE GRANDPARENTS!" or " OUR LITTLE KARIN IS GROWING UP!" I swear I had to literally bring out my za-panktou on everyone so they could shut up. That wasn't the only bad part that happen. Someone from Shibantai overheard everything and started to run their big mouth, telling everyone in Soul Society. The very next day I had a bunch of presents in my room.
Now, lets flashback to that time of hell they call being pregnant.
" Nee-san are you okay? You don't seem too well." Yuzu looked concerned. She knew something was going on with her sister. Karin started to throw up in the bathroom once she got up. Yuzu wasn't the only one concern but, so was her father.
"I-I'm f-fine really. I feel b-better now." Obviously that was a lie. She just threw up again after barely finishing her sentence.
"Karin,sweetie, we are going to the doctor." Isshin walked up the stairs to get Karin. After a few protests of saying she can walk on her own, they headed over to Urahara's Shop where surprisingly, Ichigo and Rukia were already present.
"Karin are you okay? We just got a call from old man over here saying you were feeling terrible." Ichigo wasn't a one to show a lot of concern for anyone but, since it's his family and most importantly his sister, he was showing a lot of concern and so is his wife, Rukia.
"I'm fine." She said sternly. "I just need to go to a doctor speaking of which, this is not a doctor's office." Karin glared at her father who was whistling.
"Well, uh sweetie we thought that...you should visit a...shinigami doctor. We thought that the person who got you pregnant may as well be a-"
"Yeah,yeah. Can we please move on to this...whatever." Karin walked over to Urahara making sure the old man had the portal ready. The rest traveled right behind her getting ready to head to Soul Society for some news that will change their lives for the next 9 months.
Shibantai: Unohana's Office
"Okay,dear. I have the test results for you and your family to see and I'll be right back." Unohana exit out the room to her destination. Karin read through the papers quickly. Her eyes widen when her family entered the room.
"Okay, give it to us straight." Ichigo grabbed the papers from his sister's hands and quickly scanned through it.
"Umm, dad I think you should read this." Ichigo passed the papers to his father, eyes still holding the expression of shock. It didn't take long for Isshin to read it and jump in joy.
"MY DARLING DAUGHTER, I'M SO HAPPY!!!I'M GOING TO BE A GRANDFATHER! YOU HEAR THAT MASAKI!!!!" He took out a miniature poster of his wife and started to cry. Luckily, Ichigo kicked him in his face to tell him to shut up,which only made him cry out more nonsense. Yuzu was happy and calm. Karin was part happy, part scared, part excited, and part sad. How was she going to tell Toushirou about this. Maybe she should tell him now.
"Excuse me but, I have to go somewhere." Karin walked out receiving questioning looks from her family.
"Come back safe onee-chan!" Yuzu yelled. Karin stalked off to jubantai to see a certain white haired captain. She was about to knock on the door until she heard voices coming from within the office.
"I'm glad you are okay, Momo-chan." A all too familiar voice sounded.
"Thank you, Shiro-chan. I don't how I could ever repay you." This voice didn't sound familiar. Karin peeped through the crack of the door, wishing she hadn't.
"Well, I do have something in mind." Toushirou got up and kiss Hinamori, who gradually accepted it. Karin couldn't watch anymore due to the fact she ran away after he kissed her for a mere second.
"How could I be so stupid as to think he ever loved me,that we had a future together." Ichigo and co didn't know what was bothering Karin but, all they knew was that it was a good idea to take her back home.
1st Trimester:
1st month of pregnancy
Morning sickness was really getting to her. It would be the same routine. Get up at 7:30 a.m., take a shower and get dress, eat breakfast, then go to the bathroom to throw up. Unfortunately, it was Ichigo's turn to clean the bathrooms. After he was finished, he wished that Rukia will never have that type of morning sickness.
2nd month of pregnancy
Karin was becoming more tired and had lost almost most of her energy to get active or play soccer.
"Darling, you want to play soccer?" Isshin said hoping to get his daughter back to her old self.
"No." She said sternly.
"You want to-"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"NO!" Karin karate kick her father out her room and down the stairs. The last thing you heard was a girly scream and a man's pride slipping away with that girly scream. Ichigo couldn't stop laughing for days.
3rd month of pregnancy
Karin put on some weight. Or in other words started to look more pregnant. She had a little bump that was her abdomen. That could be the good news but, the bad news is...she was urinating more than usual.
"Is it just me or is Karin peeing a lot lately?" Rukia asked looking at her husband for answers.
"Must be the water." Rukia sighed. Her husband could be really dense sometimes.
2nd Trimester:
4th month of pregnancy
Karin's morning sickness and fatigue started to diminish. That was good news for the other Kurosakis (especially Ichigo). She even began to look more pregnant making it easier to deify that she was. Now since she is in her second trimester, the symptoms of bad news played all through her fourth month. Her craving for certain foods began and grew within time.
"Ichi-nii, I have a favor to ask you." Ichigo felt the demanding aura behind him.
"What is it?" He said, turning around to look at his sister.
"I want you to get all these things on this list." She showed him the list that reached all the way to the floor. Ichigo grabbed the list and quickly scanned through it. His mouth dropped and eyes bugged as he read on.
"ALL THIS IS, IS FOOD! SOME THAT I COULDN'T EVEN GET!" He yelled only to be jacked up by Karin.
"Listen here bro. I'm hungry for the foods on that list and if I don't have it in 3 hours, I'll kill you. Youunderstand." She dropped her brother back on the ground. Ichigo was shivering and gladly accepted the task he was given. In the next 3 hours he brought everything on the list to Karin who started to eat the first thing she saw in the bag.
If food cravings wasn't bad enough, Karin's hormones were kinda out of...whack. The Kurosakis went out to the mall with their pregnant member to buy maternity clothes. As they walked by they seemed to have lost Karin who they later spotted flirting with another man. He had short spiked black hair and ocean blue eyes you could get lost in. It literally took all of her family to pull her away. She didn't leave without giving the 'call me later' sign.
5th month of pregnancy
It was now stated that Karin will gain 3 to 4lbs a week. This month was what you call a break month for the rest of the Kurosakis. It was actually a happy time as well. They were able to feel the baby kick inside Karin. Unluckily, for Isshin he had to put his ear right next to her stomach and got kicked in the ear. Everyone couldn't stop laughing and if you were Karin you could've have sworn you heard two voices laughing.
6th month of pregnancy
It was time to go back to Unohana to check and see if the baby was a boy or a girl. Karin was feeling slightly nervous to find out. Yuzu and Rukia voted that it will be a girl while Ichigo and Isshin voted it will be a boy.
"Karin congratulations! You are going to have-" Matsumoto just happen to past by and stopped dead in her tracks when she heard someone yell
"WHAT!!!!!" Matsumoto peeped through the door to see Karin and her family in shock.
"Yes, I know but, look on the bright side you won't have to worry about buying either boy stuff or girl stuff if you are going to have twins!" Unohana smiled. Matsumoto gasped at the news. Her taicho needed to know that his crush was pregnant. She shunpoed all the way to jubantai.
"TAICHO!" She slid the door open to see her captain and Hinamori entangled in a kiss. Toushirou separated from Hinamori unsatisfied.
"What!" He yelled glaring at his busty fukutaicho.
"Uh...nothing. Sorry to interrupt you." She slid the door back closed walking away from their office.
'Maybe he moved on.' She thought searching for Renji for a drink.
------------
Karin couldn't believe it. She was going to give birth to twins. Talk about double the trouble. She laid down on her bed looking out her window. Her and her family not too long left shibantai. They were all surprised at the news they received. Karin Kurosaki was going to have twins.
3rd Trimester
7th month of pregnancy
Karin,now dealing with the fact that she was having twins, was gaining weight faster than ever. Her abdomen grew bigger and bigger. She would also become lightheaded if she stood up too fast. Not to mention this was month where...mood swings would occur!
"Ichigo! I would love to think you for everything that you did for me." Karin giggled and smiled. Ichigo looked creeped out at the thought that 1. his sister was thanking someone randomly. 2. She was smiling and giggling. 3. She was being nice!
"Y-You're welcome." He starred at his sister.
"Why are you starring at me like that. You got eye problem or something!" She said angrily. That just hit the spot. Ichigo was officially creeped out. First she was nice then she is angry. What the Bleach was going on.
"A-are you okay?"
"No, now that you made me mad and think that I'm weird for thanking you." She sniffled. Now she was crying! What the Bleach was right. What was going on!
"Karin what the-"
"I hate you!" She ran upstairs crying. Ichigo looked like he stepped into a alternate universe and was nailed there. Rukia,who saw the whole thing, came up to her husband.
"Mood swings." She walked right pass him to get some orange juice.
8th month of pregnancy
Karin was becoming more tired easily and remained on angry mode for some reason. Yuzu was lucky enough to take her to part of jubantai. Toushirou and Hinamori was away on something long enough for Matsumoto to throw this little surprise.
"Yuzu,why am I here?" Karin asked , looking at the butterfly garden.
"We have something to show you. C'mon!" Yuzu dragged her sister to a room that was decorated purple. She open the room to see it was as dark as the night sky that night. She walked in and stopped.
"SURPRISE!" She almost jumped out her black long sleeved dress at the outburst from the captains and vice-captain of Gotei Thirteen. Karin looked at the banner that read 'CONGRATULATIONS' with storks on each end. She gasped realizing she just stepped foot into her own baby shower. There were purple and white streamers, a purple and white cake, gifts, tables with lavenders on top, balloons that sparkle, a radio, food and beverages, and a silver chair with white opals in them and a lavender drape that says ' I'm A Soon To Be Mother'. She was literally pushed into the silver chair that was located in front of everyone.
"Congratulations, Karin-chan! This is your own baby shower! We will play games, eat, and most of all give gifts with you!" Matsumoto said excitingly with her hands clasped together in front of her.
"Thanks, I guess." Karin fidgeted in her chair at all the people starring at her. Before she realized it, she was given a crown with a white opal in it.
"That's your baby shower hat. Right now you are in charge and get to choose what we do first. Say games,please!" Karin sighed and said games which made Matsumoto jump in joy.
"Okay listen up everyone! We are going to start the games. First up is the crossword puzzle with different baby words on there." Renji passed the papers out to everyone.
"Okay...Begin!" People began to write while others thought about the answers. Karin sat there drinking mixed berry punch and wondering what to eat first. 50 minutes passed and Matsumoto called time. She gather up all the papers and Yuzu and her began to look through the stack to see who got the most.
"Alright, we have our three winners!" Yuzu yelled holding out three papers.
"The third place winner is...Nanao! Come and get your prize!" Nanao walked up ignoring the her captain's flirtatious way of congratulating her.
"The second place winner is...Nemu!" Nemu walked up to get her prize.
"Okay and the first place winner is...Unohana-taicho!" Unohana to walked up to get her prize. All three got a Bath and Body Works Cherry blossom set with the shower gel, lotion, body splash, cologne, the fizz balls, and sponge.
"Now this one is for the family. This game is to test your knowledge about how well you know Karin." Yuzu, Rukia, Isshin, and Ichigo sat a the front tables with a buzzer in front of them.
"When you have the answer ring the buzzer. The number of how many you get right will be right in front of you. The star will lit up if you get it right. Okay,let's start." Matsumoto got ten cards.
"Okay, Question 1: Who did Karin tell first about the children?"
BEEP!
"Us!" Ichigo answered.
"Correct!" 1 star lit up for Ichigo.
"Go get em' Strawberry!" Renji yelled.
"Shut up, Rudolph!" Ichigo yelled back.
"Okay, Question 2: What is Karin's favorite food?"
BEEP!
"American red rice!" Yuzu yelled.
"Correct!" A star lit up for Yuzu.
"Question 3: When did Karin get her Za-panktou?"

BEEP!
"A woman without a backbone!" Yuzu yelled.
"Correct!" 5 for Yuzu.
"Okay, the big question! Question 10: Who is Karin's baby daddy?"
All 4 were silent. They had no clue. The shinigamis in the back were anxious for the answer.
"It's a answer to be remain unanswered." Karin said glaring at her family.
"O-okay then. We have our winner, Ms. Yuzu Kurosaki." Yuzu went up to claim her prize then, hugged her sister. The rest of the baby shower wasn't nothing but food and gifts.
9th month of pregnancy
Karin slept the day away. She remembered that baby shower back and forth. The only good part was the gifts and the keys to a 3 bedroom house. She felt drowsy now a days and just slept the day away. It was almost time for her to give birth and she was so ever nervous.
Rukia sat looking at T.V with her husband, Yuzu,and Isshin that is until they heard Karin yelled. They rushed up to her room to see she was panicking.
"My water just broke!" She yelled looking at the puddle of water on the floor.
"Holy crap!" Ichigo grabbed Karin and ran downstairs and then outside towards Shibantai(they stayed in Soul Society after the baby shower.) Ichigo rushed into the building and ran to the front desk.
"How may I help you?" A random nurse said.
"My sister..I mean her water broke and we need to get her to a room right now!" Ichigo yelled.
"Alright, stay calm. We'll take her to the operation room. You and the others just wait here." The nurse placed Karin in a wheel chair and rolled her to Unohana. Rukia and Yuzu went back to tell the others. Yuzu headed to jubantai to look for a certain busty fukutaicho. She came to Matsumoto's and Hitusgaya's office and rapped on the door.
"Come in." A voice sounded from inside. Yuzu slid the door open quickly scanning the room for Matsumoto.
"Yuzu-chan what is it?" Matsumoto questioned standing up from her desk. Toushirou eyed the girl questioningly and so did Hinamori.
"KARIN! IT'S KARIN! SHE JUST WENT INTO LABOR!"Yuzu screamed out of breath. Matsumoto's eyes widen and so did Toushirou's.
"Come on, show me where the others are!" Matsumoto walked over to Yuzu then look at her taicho.
"I'm sorry,taicho but, it's best if you stay here." Matsumoto shunpoed off with Yuzu leaving a wide-eyed captain and a confused vice-captain behind. The two finally got there to see half of the vice-captain's and a few captains there in the lobby.
"How is she?" Matsumoto asked, walking over to sit down.
"We don't know yet. No one won't tell us anything." Rukia said leaning against her husband.
"We just have to wait." Hours past and it was nighttime until they say a scrawny looking girl come their way.
"Ms.Kurosaki gave birth to healthy fraternal twins successfully. You can now visit her. She is in Rm.114." Everyone past the girl as soon as she said the room number. They all made their way to Rm.114 and silently opened the door. The scene they got was beautiful. Karin was sitting there with her babies in her arms. She was right the babies did look like their father with silver hair and the sea-green eyes.
"Onee-chan are you okay?' Yuzu asked sitting on the bed with her.
"I'm fine. You want to hold them." Karin looked at her sister who had a little gleam in her eyes as she hold her niece.
"Awwww,she is so cute. What are going to call her?" Yuzu looked at her sister who just shrugged.
"Well, I have a name. How about Torin and Kishiro."
"Torin and Kishiro...I like it." Karin smiled at the little boy in her hands.
"Can I hold Torin-chan, Karin-san!" Matsumoto piped walking over to the little one. It was easier to tell who their father was. They were every spitting image of him.
"Here you go Matsumoto-san." Yuzu handed Torin to Matsumoto.
"Awwwwww, she is so adorable!" Karin giggled at Matsumoto's behavior towards her daughter.
"Ichi-nii you want to hold Kishiro?" Karin gestured for Ichigo to come and hold his nephew. Ichigo was pushed by Rukia to go hold his nephew. He gathered the little child in his arms looking at his tiny nephew.
"How you doin. I'm your uncle, Ichigo." Kishiro took Ichigo's finger and started to suck on it. Ichigo chuckled and Rukia giggled.
"Onee-chan, we have something to give you." Karin looked at her twin suspiciously.
"We knew you were going to accept the names we suggested and so we bought you this." Yuzu pulled out a white box with a dark purple ribbon tie on it. She opened it to reveal a 9 carat white opal silver ring. Karin took it looking at it and gasped as she read what was written on the inside.
"October 7th,2008 Torin and Kishiro Kurosaki." She read out loud smiling.
"Thank you so much!" Karin hugged her sister then her brother and her father, who managed to get hold of his grandson. She tried the ring on and put her hand up letting the ring glimmer off the moon.
"My children." Karin smiled as she looked at the ring.
