Hey everyone! I have finally finished one of my stories! Upon request, I have completed "What's Wrong with Her?" after months of no activity. I know that I am nowhere near done with this one. I'm in my bed, freezing, while I write this. I also got my hair cut today and it's shorter now. Something I've been meaning to get straight is the date of all this. Toshiro conceived in late December and is 7 months pregnant. So after we do the math it turns out that it is July! Which happens to be the month of Ichigo's birthday! I remember when I first found out. It was lyke that day when I noticed it. Anyway, this is gonna be sort of a birthday chapter to Ichigo. Of course I'm typing on a new laptop so every other word I type comes up as a grammar error or a spelling error which is annoying me. And in my poll where I asked people to vote for what anime/manga they wanted me to do for a blog, the result ended in a tie between Death Note and Bleach. So I am having a tie breaker! Now let's begin the story!
Toshiro: Cookie doesn't own Bleach or its characters.
Me: Very good. Here's a cookie.

Izuru's POV
I saw my kidnapped lover standing before me with that same old stupid grin on his face, "Gin? Is that really you?"
"In the flesh, as ya can see." The fox face replied.
I ran up and hugged him with me free arm that wasn't holding Blayne, "It's you. You really are back."
Gin nodded, "I told ya I would be. And I'm relieved to see both o' ya unharmed."
I felt him wipe away tears on my face, "I knew you couldn't have left me on purpose."
"O' course not. And I was hopin' that you wouldn't get depressed again so that I would hafta write another poem." He told me.
I gasped, "Poem? That was you who wrote that?"
"Yep. Couldn't have ya dyin' on me." He said still smiling.
Toshiro's POV
I sat in my bed listening to Ichigo's ipod and reading a Kuroshitsuji manga. I was released on maternity leave and had nothing to do. Ichigo was kind enough to lend me his ipod as well as some manga volumes he had. I also was wearing one of his shirts he brought me. It was a Coca Cola shirt with kanji written on it. I also had on a pair of socks he brought. They were red and black striped.
"I want your love and all your love is revenge. You and me could write a bad romance." I sang along softly as I read, "Caught in a bad romance."
I yawned and set the book down. I put in some effort to hoist myself and my round belly up to stretch my legs. I walked up to the calendar to see what day it was. To my surprise, Ichigo's birthday was in five days. I wonder why he didn't tell me. Heh, knowing him, he probably was worried about me having to go through the trouble of getting something. I walked across the hall to Ichigo's room to ask him about it. I went in to find only an empty room. Taking the opportunity, I looked around his room to see what all was in there. I changed the song on the ipod when the song was over. I soon came across a giant photo album. Out of curiosity, I took it over to the bed and opened it up. It looked to be filled with cosplay pictures.
"Wow." I mumbled, "He's not that bad. I wonder what made him stop doing this."
I picked up the photo album and walked back to my room with it, "Evacuate the dance floor. I'm infected by the sound. Stop this beat is killing me. Hey Mister DJ, let the music take me underground." I sang to myself.
Once I made it back to my room, I sat down on my bed and looked at the pictures some more. He seemed to have a real good time with his friends. Did he really leave all this just for me? I turned the page and saw pictures that weren't cosplay. They were of him when he was little. He looked a lot happier then. I had just noticed that whatever was holding this together was falling apart. This album is covered in tape and staples. It must be really old. It was then that I decided what I would get him for his birthday. A new photo album. I snuck back over to his room and put the book back where I found it. And right when I was about to turn around, I heard a voice.
"Toshiro? What are you doing in my room?" the voice asked.
I closed my eyes. It was Ichigo, "No reason. I was just coming over to ask you something but you weren't here. But I see you are here now." I partly lied.
The strawberry raised an eyebrow at me, "What did you want to ask me?"
"I wanted to ask why you hadn't told me that your birthday was coming up soon." I told him.
He scoffed, "That's it? Well to be honest I didn't want you to push yourself too hard trying to get something for me."
"Ichigo you have given me so much in my time of need. Now it's time for me to give you something in return." I said.
"Okay. You can get me something. Now go back to your room and get some rest. You aren't allowed to be on your feet too long." He practically commanded me.
"Sure, whatever." I shuffled back to my room and climbed back into my bed. I picked up the same manga and started reading.
When I was reading, I noticed something curl up beside me. I looked over and saw Ichirou all curled up beside me. I smiled and petted the kitten a few times and then went back to reading, "And would you call old friends you never see? Reminisce old memories. Would you forgive your enemies? And would you find that one your dreaming of? Swear up and down to God above? That you finally fall in love. If today was your last day." I sang.
I saw someone walk in the room, "You're a good singer. You should sing more often."
I sighed, "Flattery is nice, Ichigo but it won't make me change my mind."
Ichigo pouted and walked back out of the room. I turned to Ichirou, "What do you think is his problem?"
"Mew?" The kitten answered.
I giggled, "I think so too."
A few days later
I had snuck out to the World of the Living for a little bit to get Ichigo's present. It took about half an hour so I don't think anyone noticed I was gone. It was good to see that Gin was back around and about again. Ichigo told me he sent his friend to get him back. I'm glad that Izuru didn't stay alone for too long. I wrapped up Ichigo's gift and put it on his bed. When I heard him coming I ran back to my room and jumped onto my bed with pain and regret following afterwards. I quickly sat up on my bed and picked up the nearest manga which unfortunately was Junjo Romantica. Why did he give me this? More importantly, why the hell did he even OWN this?! I shrugged it off until later and listened to hear Ichigo's reaction.
"This must be Toshiro's gift for me. I wonder what it is."
I could hear the sound of wrapping paper being ripped apart.
"Oh wow. A box. Let's see what's inside."
I swear Ichigo couldn't be more slow when opening presents.
"It's a…photo album?"
I decided that was my cue to come in.
Ichigo's POV
Looking at the photo album puzzled, I didn't notice Toshiro come in, "Do you need an explanation?"
I jumped at the sound of his voice, "As a matter of fact, I do. Care to explain?"
"Well, when I was looking around your room, I found a photo album that had a bunch of cosplay photos as well as pictures from your childhood. I noticed how beat up and old it was and decided to get you a new one as a present." He explained.
I smiled. While I was a little pissed about him going in my room, I pushed it aside for now, "Thank you Toshiro. I love it."
Toshiro smiled too and sat next to me, "Your welcome."
"Did you go through the entire thing?" I asked.
Toshiro hesitated, "No I didn't, actually."
I chuckled and got out the old photo album, "Then you didn't see these."
I opened it up to a specific page that had pictures of me and him as well as some others in the Soul Society.
Toshiro shook his head, "Why did I expect nothing more?"
I leaned in and kissed him, "Because you know me so well."
He grinned, "Happy birthday Ichigo."
Fluffy fluffy fluff fluff. That was basically all this chapter was, wasn't it? It's not that easy when writing an mpreg because you've pretty much got at least 8 months to fill up with something interesting. But I have lyke 10 months to fill. That was one of the things I expected when taking on 12 months. But I'm having tons of fun writing this. That's why I'm contemplating a sequel.
Toshiro: Sequel? Oh dear god.
Me: What? You don't think it's a good idea?
Gin: I think it's a great idea!
Me: Thank you.
Toshiro: I just can't stand hanging around some of these people.
Me: I better not be included in that group. Because don't think I won't put some surprise couples in it. Can you say GinHitsu?
Toshiro: Aw, hell no.
Me: That's what I thought.
Gin: I has another question.
Me: The board, once again, recognizes Gin Ichimaru.
Gin: Why do ya have people sing so much?
Me: I…don't know. Something about giving the story depth or something.
Gin: Question sorta answered.
Me: Hey, where's Izuru?
Izuru: I'm right here. I just didn't like where the conversation was going.
Me: Well I'm gonna wrap this up anyway. You wanna do the honors Toshiro?
Toshiro: Sure. REVIEW OR YAMMY WILL BLOW YOUR FRIKIN HEAD OFF!!!
