"Hitomi."
Szayel turned around. He stared at the beaming Grimmjow. "Huh?"
"Hitomi." Grimmjow repeated, shuffling in the bed while holding the baby close to him. "I want to name her Hitomi."
Szayel pauses. "It means 'pupil of the eye'."
Grimmjow smiles. "That it does."
Szayel got up from his seat and looked at the baby's eyes. "She does have beautiful eyes, doesn't she?"
Grimmjow nodded. "That's why I chose the name."
"It's beautiful, Grimmjow." Szayel smiled.
.::1 MONTH LATER::.
"Look at her."
Hitomi started to giggle and she smiled, reaching her right hand up in the air to grab Grimmjow's nose. Grimmjow couldn't help but smile. "Hitomi is pretty damn cute, there."
Szayel marveled the scene displayed before him. This was something that Szayel would have never expected out of the obnoxious Grimmjow. Szayel giggled and watched Grimmjow grab Hitomi's hand gingerly.
"She's so fragile," Grimmjow said to himself. "Squeeze too hard and her hand would snap like a twig. I guess that's part of the beauty of having a child, huh?" Grimmjow chuckled and held the baby in the air, and she screamed with joy.
Szayel had wanted to cry, right there. Grimmjow is a changed man. He's not that hard, buff guy who didn't give a damn to anything or anyone. It's like he's a normal person now. Like he has a heart now...
Grimmjow held her closely again. "Man, I can't wait to see what she'll look like when she's older." Grimmjow closed his eyes and sighed to himself. "It'll be difficult raising a girl. Have to keep all of the boys away from her..."
Szayel chuckled and turned away. "Grimmjow, you are something else."
Grimmjow paused, looking at the pink-haired man. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"It's a good thing, take it as a compliment." Szayel waved his hand with dismissal.
Grimmjow furrowed his brows. "Okay?" He smiled, his attention returning to Hitomi. At his moment, Ichigo walked into the room. He smiled at Grimmjow and Hitomi.
"Don't they make a great 'mother' and daughter?" He commented as he shut the door. He took a seat on the floor, chuckling. Grimmjow shot Ichigo a glare.
"'Mother'?"
Ichigo nodded. "Well, of course. You're the one who gave birth to her."
Grimmjow growled and looked outside the window. His eyes were concentrated there for a while. Ichigo shrugged and turned to Szayel. "So, are you guys going to stay here with us for a little longer or are you planning on moving out?"
Szayel frowned. "We haven't thought about moving yet. I realize that we're a nuisance. But, give us time, and we'll find a place."
Ichigo put his hands up in the air. "No, no, it's fine. I was just wondering what you planned on doing now since Hitomi was born."
"Oh," Szayel nodded. "alright, then."
They all sat in silence. Suddenly, Hitomi started to cry.
"Ohhh," Grimmjow started, holding Hitomi in the air. "Don't cry~" He cooed. Hitomi cried louder. Grimmjow grimaced. "Are you hungry~?"
Szayel handed Grimmjow a bottle of formula. Grimmjow took it and situated himself with Hitomi. He inserted the nipple of the bottle in her mouth and held it there. She stopped crying and moaned with happiness as she attempted to place her hands on Grimmjow's big one. Grimmjow smiled. "There~"
Ichigo shook his head and held back a snort. "Why...?"
Grimmjow looked at him with confusion. "Why what?"
Ichigo finally laughed, pointing. "The baby talk!"
Grimmjow frowned. "A lotta people talk to babies like that. It's just an approach."
Ichigo snorted and laughed once more. "It's weird. I can't stand seeing you like that. It's almost the end of the world..!"
Szayel couldn't help but chuckle at this. "He is right, Grimmjow."
Grimmjow frowned and looked down at Hitomi. "Fine. Whatever. Just..leave me alone."
This was just a normal day.
