Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been so beat lately for some reason! I also had writer's block. Maybe it's because I haven't had birth control if over two months. :3. Anyway here it is!

Rukia stood in front of the mirror admiring the dress she had just bought and which actually fit her. They were having dinner with Ichigo's dad and sister's tonight and Rukia wanted to look nice.

Ichigo had been released from the hospital earlier that day.

Rukia was so glad to be home with Ichigo. They had made up and now hopefully things would go as planned.

"What in the hell, Grimmjow?" Ichigo yelled angrily at his friend.

"What do you mean, 'what the hell'? I thought you would love it!" Grimmjow said drooling over the beautiful Nissan Skyline.

"I like the car, but you did this so I could race Kaien. I just got out of the hospital and you want me to drag race that son of a bitch and risk my life?" Ichigo grabbed Grimmjow by the collar of his shirt and scowled.

"Don't you want your dignity as a man?" Grimmjow asked putting his hands up in defeat.

"Why can't I just beat his ass to prove who's the tougher man?"

"Come on, this'll be fun. After you and Rukia have dinner with your family, you're set to race Kaien."

Ichigo let go of Grimmjow and slammed his fist onto the hood of his brand new car.

Grimmjow and Renji just stared at each other.

"Ichigo I'm ready." Rukia put her hand on his back realizing he was pissed off about something.

"Come on, Rukia. Let's get away from these imbeciles." Ichigo went over to the passenger door opening it up for her. Sure, he just slammed his fist onto the brand new sports car, but he was about to take it on a test drive with Rukia inside.

"Ichigo, where did this car come from?"

Ichigo frowned as soon as he heard her ask.

"Fucking, Grimmjow...that bastard." Ichigo gripped the steering wheel as they headed off at an alarming rate of speed.

Rukia had her nails digging into the dashboard.

"What in the hell, baka? Are you trying to get us killed and did you not hear my question?"

Ichigo gritted his teeth.

"Yes, darling, I heard your question perfectly clear and no I'm not trying to get us killed. Grimmjow bought it because he told Kaien I was going to have a drag race with him tonight so I could get my dignity back as a man."

Rukia let out a small laugh.

"So, you think it's funny don't you?"

"Just a little." Rukia said smiling at him.

"I bet you won't think this is very funny." Ichigo let out a small laugh as he pushed on the gas peddle as hard as he could.

Rukia once again put her nails into the dashboard as a wave of nausea hit her.

"I-I-Ichigo...I'm gonna throw up." Rukia held her mouth.

"Not in my new car. You better put that pretty little head of yours out the window."

Rukia gave him a dirty glare making him quickly pull over.

Rukia quickly got out running over to a patch of grass and emptied the contents of her stomach.

"I shouldn't have ate anything earlier." She said as she threw up the last bit of her lunch.

Ichigo stood by the car waiting for her to finish.

"You!" Rukia said as she punched him in the shoulder.

"What in the hell did I do?"

"You're such a prick! I think I'm just going to walk. See you around, Ichigo Kurosaki."

Rukia started walking as she put her nose up in the air.

"Rukia!"

"Hmm, Did I just hear something?" Rukia said still walking away.

Ichigo growled as he grabbed a hold of her shoulders spinning her till he had her wrapped in his arms.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to get so pissed off at me. I was just joking."

"Well your jokes are so cruel sometimes."

"Now come on."

"So, you're racing Kurosaki tonight?"

"Yes, I am." Kaien said smiling at Gin.

"Good. I hope you beat him so we can have Rukia. I would love to dissect her and get rid of those pests growing inside of her."

"I think I will beat him no problem."

"My boy! I'm so glad you both could make it to this fabulous restaurant!" Isshin said as he ran up to Ichigo squeezing him into a tight bear hug.

"Let go of me!" Ichigo shoved him off kicking him in the shin.

"You're so cruel, Ichigo! I hope your children act nothing like you."

Ichigo sighed as he pulled the chair out for Rukia to sit in.

"You've become quite the gentleman, my boy."

Ichigo scowled at his father.

"You've become quite the most obnoxious father around."

"Rukia-chan, we heard you're expecting twins." Yuzu said clasping her hands together.

"Yes."

"That's so exciting! Isn't it, Karin?"

"Yeah, if you say so. I think Ichigo will make a weird father."

Ichigo smiled at Rukia as he grabbed her hand and held it on the table.

"You know, Ichigo was never good at keeping it in his pants." His father said letting out a small laugh.

"Shut it!" Ichigo roared.

Dinner was more quiet then Ichigo had thought it would be. After, he walked beside Rukia and noticed something was bothering her.

So Ichigo decided to stop, before they got in the car, to talk.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"Be careful when you race. Okay?"

"I'll be fine. I promise." Ichigo said as he gave her a kiss.

"Good, you baka. I don't want to lose you. Now, can I please drive?"

"Me let you drive a stick shift? Ha! You have got to be kidding!"

Rukia kicked him in the shin for his remark.

"Fine, you can drive, but you better listen to my instructions."
