Two Months Later

"What's taking so long?" Ichigo questioned Renji. "Do you think something's wrong with the baby? What if something's wrong with the baby?"

"Calm down, I'm sure the baby is just fine," Renji tried to comfort his frantic lover. They were sitting in Unohana's office waiting for her to get back with the results of Ichigo's lab testing and the teenager was driving Renji up a wall.

"Do you really think so?"

"Yeah," Renji grumbled without looking up from the magazine he was reading.

"Renji you're not paying attention to me at all," Ichigo whined, pulling Renji's magazine away from him.

"I'm just tired. It's your own damn fault for waking me up at six in the morning," Renji snapped.

"I'm sorry," Ichigo pouted at Renji, handing back his magazine and dramatically turning away with a sigh.

Renji let out a groan of frustration before getting up and wrapping his arms around the orange haired boy's waist and whispering in his ear, "You know I love you right?" When the only response he got was a nod he turned the teenager around and looked deep into his eyes.

"Yeah I know Renji. I love you too," Ichigo said in a hushed voice, before leaning up and giving the redhead a kiss. Renji, deciding to deepen the kiss a little more, slid his tongue into Ichigo's mouth before pushing him up against the wall.

"Excuse me, but, what do you think you're doing in my office," Unohana called from the doorway.

Ichigo quickly broke the kiss and pushed Renji away a blush spreading across his face as he muttered an apology to the fourth squad captain.

"It's fine. Now please sit down," she gestured to the two seats in front of her desk.

"How is the baby? Please tell me that she's alright."

"How do you know it's not a he?" Renji argued.

"I just know!" Ichigo defended, turning back to Unohana. "So?"

"We are still not completely sure of how you got impregnated and we are still doing research but your baby is happy and healthy."

"That's great. I was so worried that maybe I was doing something wrong!" Ichigo sighed in relief.

"You appear to be doing everything exactly like you should. Just remember to eat healthy and try to avoid confrontation with any enemies. Come back in about three to four months for another check up and we can also do an ultrasound."

"Hey I, umm, I have a question," Renji muttered.

"Yes?"

"I was just curious if it was safe for the baby for us to… Well…" Renji stammered.

"Have sexual intercourse?" Unohana finished his sentence for him.

"Yeah," he mumbled, obviously flustered as he tried his hardest to look anywhere but at the captain sitting in front of him.

"It's perfectly fine. Any more questions?"

"No that's it. Thank you Unohana-san," Ichigo said with a warm smile before grabbing Renji's hand and leading him from the room."

"Unohana-taicho, why didn't you tell them?" whispered a soft voice from the other side of the room.

"No need to worry Isane. They will know soon enough."

"Isn't this exciting?" Ichigo asked Renji as they walked hand in hand down the street to Renji's house in Soul Society. They planned to stay here for a couple of days so Renji could catch up on some work he missed.

"You know we're gonna have to tell everyone that you're pregnant right?"

"I know. How do you think we should tell them?"

"You know by everyone I meant you're family too," Renji said, looking over at Ichigo, who was now looking at the ground and seemed to be deep in thought. Ichigo's family didn't even know that they were together and the thought of having to tell them that he knocked up Ichigo had been nagging him for the past few days now.

"They're going to hate me you know," Ichigo choked out, trying his hardest to stop the tears forming in his eyes. "They'll never want to talk to me again. My father will be ashamed of me." At this point the tears had already started their descent down Ichigo's face. He let go of Renji's hand and turned his head away, not wanting his lover to see him crying but the shinigami just turned him around and hugged him.

"Don't cry. They'll love you no matter what. You're impossible not to love and even if they didn't it would be alright. You'd still have me and I swear I'll protect you no matter what. I love you Ichigo, I love you so much!" Renji comforted, rubbing his back in soothing circles.

Ichigo pulled away from the larger man just enough so he could look at him. "I love you too," he whispered before throwing his arms around Renji's neck and slamming their lips together. After a couple of minutes of making out in the streets of Soul Society and quite a few cat calls from some people walking down the road Renji picked Ichigo up and carried him back to his house.

It took me far too long to post this and it's short and poorly written and I'm sorry. I promise the next chapter will be posted a lot sooner and a lot better. And remember the more reviews I get the more I want to write! Oh and the next one might have a lemon so...
