When Ichigo finally came around he saw Rukia's face. "I just had the craziest dream ever" "oh yeah what was it?" "You told me that you were pregnant." He half-heartedly laughed.

"Um…Ichigo that wasn't a dream."

"Oh bugger."

~~**~~

2 hours later they were still sitting in awkward silence. "So what are you going to do Rukia?"

"What do you mean 'what am I going to do'?" retorted Rukia. "I don't know if you've noticed yet that it's your baby as well!"

"Ssh. Keep your voice down." There was a knock on the door. Ichigo quickly and carefully placed Rukia in his closet just as the door opened.

"Ichigo do you have someone in here?" his dad asked, looking at him weirdly the way he was holding the closet door.

"Here let he help you with that." He said as he approached the closet and his son. As soon as he got there he flung it open and exclaimed "HAH!" pointing at Rukia sitting there and then looking at Ichigo "why there is a girl … ah my son has finally grown into a man! When are you going to ask her to marry you? When are the grandchildren going to arrive?!" as soon as that question was asked Ichigo and Rukia blushed and Isshin got a punch in the face.

"Dad leave now!" his dad looked at Rukia and surveyed her.

"May I have a word with you young lady?" Isshin asked. "Er ok." She said looking at Ichigo.

~~**~~

Outside the room. "Young lady as you may know, since you know my son that I am a doctor and I have noticed some things about you. And my theory is that I think you are pregnant. And by saying this has it got anything to do with Ichigo?" Rukia nodded.

"Ah well. I will go and confront him." He leaves her company and enters Ichigo's room. Rukia listened and Yuzu and Karin came up to see Rukia with her ear pressed to the door. "Excuse me. But who are you?" asked Yuzu politely. This made Rukia jump. "Er… Rukia Kuchiki… Ichigo's girlfriend."

"Che… I doubt that. By the way you hesitated I'm guessing you made that up on the spot." Said Karin haughtily. There were some raised voices from Ichigo's room and a punch sound, then Ichigo came out turned back to his father and shouted "Anyway does it really matter to you what I do with my girlfriend!" with that he grabbed Rukia's hand and stormed off.

~~**~~

Back in the soul society.

"Captain Kuchiki, sir." Said Renji Abarai Lieutenant of the 6th squad, "Are you ok, sir?"

"I'm troubled. Although Rukia is in the world of the living, I sense a change about her." Byakuya looked at Renji from where he was sitting. "I would like you to go to the world of the living with me to go see her."

Renji stared at his captain, "Er, yes captain Kuchiki. I will be honoured."

~~**~~

The next day a spirit gate opened. Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai stepped on to the pavement.

"Sir shouldn't we go to Urahara's to get gigais?" suggested Renji. "Yes that would be good." Confirmed Byakuya.

~~**~~

After getting gigais, Renji and Byakuya made their way to the Kurosaki residence.

Isshin answered when they knocked on the door. "Huh? Who the hell are you?"

"I am Byakuya Kuchiki and this is Renji Abarai, I believe this is where Ichigo Kurosaki lives." Byakuya said without any emotion in his voice.

"Er yeah. What do you want with my son? Are you Rukia's father?" asked Isshin hurriedly. "No I am Rukia's older brother. And has Ichigo done something?"

"Er … well … maybe…" Byakuya went passed him along with Renji and went into the house where Karin, Yuzu, Ichigo and Rukia were sitting at the dinner table eating.

"Nii-sama, Renji!" Rukia exclaimed as they entered. Karin looked up, as did Yuzu. "I didn't know you had an older brother Rukia. That is so cool, we both have older brothers!"

"Ichigo Kurosaki, I want to speak with you,"

"Sorry Byakuya, but I'm ea-"

"NOW!"

Ichigo jumps up and leaves the room with Byakuya. "What have you done to Rukia?"

"Me? Well er I… Rukia is…"

~~**~~

Meanwhile in the kitchen, "Renji what are you and nii-sama doing here?" questioned Rukia. "Has anything changed about you Rukia? Like has Ichigo done anything?"

"What makes you think that Ichigo has done anything?" she turns to the door as it opens and sees Ichigo come out with Byakuya looking sternly at her.

"Come Rukia I am taking you back before he…" jerks a thumb at Ichigo, "…can do anymore damage."

"But nii-sama…" Rukia looked bewildered. "I am not going to listen to your excuses to stay. I already know about your condition." Rukia sighed and bent her head in defeat. "Yes…nii-sama."

Yuzu and Karin stared at the scene in front of them. "What's going on?" asked Renji. "What condition?" Byakuya stared hard at Ichigo as he said this. "The fool over here has gotten Rukia … it disgusts me… pregnant."

An awkward silence filled the room as the reality of crushed them. "WHAT! Ichigo you're a dead man!" bellowed Renji pointing a threatening finger at him.
