I'm back! Couldn't leave ya hanging for too long! I actually did the math wrong and was one month off with Izuru! Yep, so he's 10 months instead of 9. Just means his big chappie is coming up really soon!!! So let's get this groovy thing started!

Toshiro and Gin: Cookie doesn't own Bleach or its characters.

Izuru: Like puppets on a string.

Me: Basically.

Baby Strawberry Snowflakes

4-5 months/10-11 months

Ichigo's POV

I looked in awe, "Nel…is that really you?"

Nel nodded, "Yep. It's been a while."

"Yeah, yeah it has." I agreed, "So how have you been?"

"Pretty fair, I'd say." She explained, "I've been let back into the Espada. Unfortunately, Harribel was number 3 so I settled for number 5."

I beamed, "That's wonderful! I'm so happy for you!" I embraced her in a hug.

Toshiro pouted, "Kurosaki, you mind introducing me to your close friend?"

I froze. I forgot about him, "Oh, Nel, this is Toshiro Hitsugaya. He's my taicho. Hitsugaya-taicho, this is Nel. We met a while back in Hueco Mundo."

"Uh-huh." Toshiro murmured, "I understand. So Nel is it? Um, why are you here?"

Nel giggled, "Well, I had a quick errand to run here and I sensed Itsygo's spiritual pressure and so I decided to drop by and say hello."

"Itsygo?" Toshiro repeated.

I chuckled, "Long story. She called me that when we first met and it kinda stuck."

"Pet names, ne? Che, what a history." Toshiro scoffed.

I noticed Nel kept glancing at Toshiro's slightly protruding bump. She leaned over to me, "Uhm…I don't mean to be rude…but is he…y'know…"

"Yes." I answered quickly. "Toshiro is pregnant."

"Awww." She cooed, "How cute!"

I blinked, "You don't find it abnormal or weird in any way?"

The Espada shook her head, "Nope, Grimmjow and Ulquiorra have a daughter of their own. Quite the troublemaker. Nani is always up to no good."

I froze. So it wasn't as much of a dream as I thought, "Really? So if you don't mind me asking, how did the birth happen? Or were you not there?"

"Hell yeah I was there. I delivered the devil spawn. I was the only one who seemed to have motherly instincts. It was quite interesting actually. While Ulquiorra was pregnant, his body's organs shifted around to provide a uterus for the child. He had like temporary female reproductive organs. The birth was almost like it was a woman giving birth and not a man. I assume with Soul Reapers it's very similar." She explained.

I nodded, "I see. Well I'll have to ask Toshiro sometime. So not to get personal but are you like with anyone at the moment?"

Nel shook her head, "Not right now. I'm more of someone that just goes around and flings with other people."

"Flings? As in like a one night thing?" I asked.

"Yeah. I'm like the person you go to when you need consoling. I've hung with Grimmjow, Szayel, Harribel, and a few others. It's not sex or anything. Just kissing and cuddling. I'm everyone's friend." She said.

"But you aren't with anyone?" I asked again.

"Not exactly, no. I'm getting close with a new girl. She's one of Grimmjow's new Fraccion since he lost his others in battle. Her name is Kanika Darklily."

The first name stuck out in my mind. She was one of my friends back in the World of the Living. Is it a possibility that she became an Arrancar? I decided to ask, "Is that so? May I meet her?"

Nel smiled, "Some other time maybe. Well look, it's been great chatting with you! But I think your mother-to-be over there is getting impatient. Plus I gotta go. Bye Itsygo!"

I hugged her, "Bye, Nel. I'm glad we got to catch up."

I watched her sonido away. Then I turned back to Toshiro. He looked so neglected, pouting on the bed. I walked over to him and kissed him, "She's gone now okay? It's just us now."

"Oh, are you two finally done flirting with each other?" he taunted.

"Excuse me, Mr. Jealous. Maybe this will make you feel better?" I leaned over and kissed him again, this time deeper. He hesitated for a second but soon gave in to temptation. I deepened the kiss, my tongue pressing insistently against Toshiro's teeth until I was granted access to explore fully. The touch was intoxicating. We hadn't done something like this in so long, I forgot how good it felt. I left Toshiro's mouth and trailed kisses across his jawline. I searched for the throb of his pulse and when I found it, I bit down hard on the skin making Toshiro gasp. I kissed him lightly once more on the lips and smiled.

"Did that help?" I asked grinning.

Toshiro was trying to catch his breath. And with that, I knew the answer.

I climbed over on the other side of him and we both laid down on the bed. My hand snaked around his stomach stroking it gently with my thumb. I whispered, "I love you, Toshiro."

Toshiro took a shallow breath, "I love you too Ichigo."

And with that, we both fell asleep.

When I woke up later that evening, I found Toshiro still sound asleep beside me. I got up and decided to go take a walk. I stepped outside and took a sharp breath of the cool, crisp evening air. I sighed contently and noticed someone familiar rushing by. It was Yumichika.

I stopped him, "Woah Yumichika, what's the rush?"

"I found out something very important, and I must tell Ikkaku at once!" he explained.

"Really?" I said, "What is it? I won't tell anyone if it's a secret."

"Well…" Yumichika pondered, "You're someone who would understand this, sort of. I just returned from the 4th Division."

I tilted my head, "Oh? Are you sick?"

Yumichika shook his head, "Quite the contrary, Unohana-taicho just told me that I'm pregnant."

I stood there in shock. Pregnant, really? That's the third person! What is it mating season or something? I smiled, "Oh my god, congratulations Yumichika!"

"Thank you. I just hope Ikkaku feels the same." He said with a worried tone in his voice.

I scoffed, "Of course he will! He loves you doesn't he? I can't see any reason why he wouldn't be thrilled."

Yumichika smiled sheepishly, "In that case, would you mind accompanying my when I tell him?"

"Sure Yumichika, I'd be honored." I replied.

Once we made it over to the 11th division, he led me to Ikkaku's room which was empty. He turned to me, "Wait here, I'll go find him."

I nodded and decided to look around the room while I waited. It had many pictures. Mostly of him and Yumichika. Apparently, they've known each other since they were in the Rukongai. Then Yumichika came back in the room with Ikkaku behind him.

"Alright Yumichika, what's so damn important? And what the hell is he doing here?" Ikkaku exclaimed.

Yumichika looked at me, "Oh him. Well I met him on the way here and already told him. I wanted him to be here when I told you."

Ikkaku seemed bored, "Okay, out with it. What is it you wanna tell me?"

The nervous man took a deep breath, "Ikkaku, I'm pregnant."

I grinned when I saw Ikkaku's eyes widen, glittering with excitement. He picked Yumichika up and twirled him around, "That's wonderful! I'm so happy!"

Ikkaku put Yumichika down, "You really think so?"

"Absolutely! Yumichika, I've never been happier in my life!" Ikkaku said.

I decided it was best to leave them to their privacy. I wandered back to the 10th Division to find Toshiro up and feeding the cat, "Hey. Where'd you go?"

"I took a walk and met up with Yumichika." I explained.

"Oh? How's he and Ikkaku doing? I know that they are together and all." He said.

"Great actually. In fact, Yumichika just found out he was pregnant." I told him.

Toshiro smiled, "Wow, now it's Kira, me, and Yumichika."

I sat down on the bed beside Toshiro, "Hey, one thing I discussed with Nel while she was here, was how an Arrancar birth happens. Because she had informed me that two male Espada had a child together. I was wondering how it works with a Soul Reaper."

"Well, it's probably somewhat similar. It is normal for us male Soul Reapers to get pregnant. When that happens, our male reproductive organs slowly begin to temporarily transform into female reproductive organs. It'd be like being a woman from the waist down with the exception of your breasts enlarging due to milk." He told me.

I snickered, "So basically you're gonna get boobs."

"If you wanna put it so bluntly, sure. I mean, if you've seen Kira recently, you would have noticed his breasts have expanded." Toshiro reminded me.

I smiled, "I guess there's a bright side to this pregnancy after all."

Uh-oh! Ichigo's pervert side is setting in! I hope you enjoyed the little IkkaYumi bit! I figured I had to put Nel with somebody, so I threw Kanika in there. It may change later. And since I have a feeling this will come up, NEL IS NOT A HOE. Like she said, she's friends with everyone. She's not sleeping with everyone. Make sure you understand that. I'm very excited on how this is coming along!

Gin: Me too.

Toshiro: I agree.

Izuru: Do I really need to have breasts?

Me: C'mon Izuru! Think of it as fanservice.

Toshiro: And I'm gonna get breasts too?

Me: IT'S FANSERVICE ALRIGHT?!

Toshiro: Okay geez.

Gin: REVIEW OR I'LL SNEAK IN YOUR BEDROOM AT NIGHT AND STABBITY YOU!!!!
