Ichigo sighed, covering his face with his hands.
What a relief.
"She's just recovering now," he continued, "She has a pretty nasty bruise on her back from the fall, but it didn't harm the baby."
"What a relief." Momo said cheerily.
Toushiro cleared his throat "Did she tell what happened? She only told us she fell."
"Yea, she fell in the tub cleaning." he turned to Ichigo, "Shouldn't you be doing that rather then you pregnant girlfriend?"
Ichigo rolled his eyes.
"Still, make sure she doesn't have one of those accidents again."
"I know, dad."
"Ichigo?" Rukia whispered, making him stir in bed.
"Hm?"
She sighed, laying her head back on his chest. "Ruchi is kicking again."
She looked up at his face,
"He's probably telling us not to worry."
"Probably." he yawned, looking down at her face.
She moved up a little so that there lips could meet.
And they kissed.
knock.
"Did you hear something?" Rukia broke the kiss,
Ichigo stayed quiet.
Nothing.
"No."
Knock.
"Did you hear it now?" she sat up in bed, "Go check it out."
Ichigo still laid there "Give me a minute."
Rukia glared, "Get your lazy ass up and get the door."
Bang.
Ichigo jumped up, the banging startling him.
"What the hell?"
"What if it's a thief trying to sneak in?" Rukia whispered, hoping the thief wouldn't hear her.
"Knocking at our front door?" Ichigo almost felt like laughing, but couldn't when a sharp pain hit his side,
She elbowed him.
"Idiot,"
She pushed herself out of bed, hearing Ichigo groan.
"That's what you get."
She walked out of the bedroom, holding her belly as she made it to the door.
Bang, bang.
"Coming!"
She opened the door,
And her heart dropped.
"Nii-sama, Nee-san..."
Her brother and sister where at the door, their mouth opened when there eyes dropped down to her belly.
"Rukia..!" Hisana said awkwardly, hugging her sister,
But her belly was kind of in the way.
"Momo?" she stood behind them, face down.
"He said he will take me to court if I didn't take him to you," she murmured, feeling Byakuya's glare "Sorry."
"Isn't this a surprise, Byakuya..." Hisana tried to calm the tense air.
"Rukia, who's at th..the..." Ichigo stopped half way there, noticing all the people standing at the door, glaring at him.
Or more like the man glaring at him.
Shit.!
Her brother.
"Nii-sama, Nee-san, this is my-" She was cut off by Ichigo.
"Boyfriend!"
He blurted it, rushing over to her side.
Damn, if glares could kill.
-x-
"I'm so sorry, Nii-sama." Rukia apologized again, the man sitting across the table from her was still glaring at Ichigo.
"Still Rukia, that was very irresponsible of you, both of you." she rested her eyes on her belly. "How far along are you?"
"Three and a half." Ichigo answered for her.
Byakuya got up from his seat "Hisana, we are leaving."
"Don't be like that." she sighed, looking over at Rukia.
Hurt.
"Be here for your little sister like I am."
"So you are encourage this type of promiscuous behavior?" he said coldly,
Ichigo felt Rukia's grip tighten on his hand.
"No, I don't encourage it, but I will stand by my sister when she needs us."
And without even answering, he walked out of the apartment.
Rukia closed her eyes,
"He'll come around." Hisana comforted, smiling softly at Rukia.
"I don't care," Rukia murmured, "He never even liked me."
"Don't say that." Hisana sighed, getting up from her seat.
Rukia didn't reply.
"I'll come back tomorrow to see how you and the baby are doing."
She smiled softly.
"He will come around, Rukia."
-x-
"Was that really necessary?" Hisana breathed as she finally caught up to her brother.
He didn't speck.
They swiftly got in the car.
"This isn't something you can just push aside," she crossed her arms, pouting at her older brother "It's a baby."
"Yes, an infant born out of marriage and an infant born from such a young woman." he said flatly "What would the elders say?"
"Who cares what they say?"
Byakuya ignored her comment.
"So, you are just going to push your baby sister aside?"
Still, no comment.
"You need to grow up."
-x-
"Are you alright?" Ichigo said from the bath room door.
She locked it.
"Yea." she frowned, remember her brothers face when he saw her.
Disappointed,
Ashamed,
Disgusted.
That hurts,
To be looked like that by your own brother.
It really hurts.
"Do you need something?"
She held her belly lightly, laying her head against the door. "No."
"She wont come out?" Momo asked from the hall way.
She had stayed outside as they talked, but when both Rukia's brother and sister walked out,
She came back in.
Only to see her best friend storm off to the bathroom and slam the door.
A/N: Who ever told you Hisana was died? :P
So yea, Byakuya found out the hard way and can't accept it like the stubborn man he is and Hisana made her appearance.
