The two were enjoying their tea when Orihime had walked in. They both stared at her and Rukia smiled while Byakua had the same expressionless face.
"Hey Rukia," Orihime smiled back, " well I heard the news from Ichigo and decided to bring you things." Then she quietly said to Rukia, "Does Byakuya know about it?"
Byakuya stared at the two woman and interjected, "How could I not know. It's only in my face whenever I walk by," he said sarcastically, not trying to hurt Rukia's feelings. Orihime smiled at Byakuya and said:
"Oh, well I should have brought a gift for you too if I knew that you were going to be here."
"I'm not the one having the child."
"So how does it feel being related to Ichigo since I know that things are awkward between you two,"
There was an awkward pause. Byakuya sighed and took a sip of tea.
"If he takes care of my sister then there is no need for concern."
Just then there was a crash over by where Rukia had been. Byakuya and Orihime turned to see Rukia on the floor grasping her stomach.
"Rukia! Are you okay?!" Orihime and Byakuya said simultaneously.
"It's probably a false alarm this happens all the ti-" just then, the look on Rukia's face made everything clear to the two. They looked down to see liquid that had seeped out. They knew for sure that Rukia had begun to go into labor. They both screamed at the sight as they didn't know what to do in this situation. Neither one had experienced childbirth.
"What's going on in- Oh my God!" Yoruichi seen the sight unfolding, "you got to get her out of this room now! Ginta, Ururu, Tessai! Get a bed ready for Rukia! It's time!"
There was a great panic in the Urahara Shoten and just as it was at its height, Kisuke woke up.
"What's going on here? Can't you guys keep it down a bit, maybe?" Kisuke was irritated, but it couldn't match the irritation brewing in Yoruichi. Yoruichi scorned Kisuke and put him to work, which he obliged to because he knew what Yoruichi was capable of. Everyone's attention was directed toward Rukia and had even forgot to call the main person who helped cause it all: Ichigo.
"Hey. Are we missing somebody here?" asked Ginta.
"Who? We don't need anyone else to come get in the way." said Byakuya and Yoruichi.
"Okay…" Ginta trailed off.
Then Orihime chimed, "Shouldn't Ichigo be here?" Everyone paused and stared around. They all agreed and Orihime called Ichigo on her cell phone.
"Hey Ichigo! Um, you need to get down here now!"
"Where? What's all that noise?"
"Well, I'm at the Urahara shop right now. It's Rukia!"
"Rukia?! She's having the baby?!" Ichigo was frantic. He ran out of the house without explanation to his family.
"Where's Ichigo going?" Karin asked.
"He's going to watch his first child be born. I know it." Isshin put his hand on Karin and Yuzu's shoulders.
"Anyway," Karin took his hand off her shoulder, " I'm going to my friend's house." Then Karin left and it was Yuzu and Isshin left to think of the nostalgic memories and dry to each other.
Ichigo had made it to the Urahara Shoten and in the middle of the chaos. Everyone had made room for Ichigo to be by Rukia's side. Ichigo held Rukia's hand for the next two hours that would change his life forever. That night, when everyone had been called over, except Keigo of course (who needs him right?), Rukia had finally had the baby. Everyone was relieved and finally took a breath of fresh air. They opened all the windows and cleaned up everything. Everyone went back to normal and kept an eye on the new born child of two soul reapers.
"So what are you going to name the child?" Yoruichi asked.
"We're going to name him," Rukia looked at Ichigo, "Kaien."
The other soul reapers came ( that means Matsumoto, Renji, and everyone else who decided to visit.)
"Well, let's have a drink to the new son in the Kurosaki-Kuchiki line!" Matsumoto had brought sake for everyone. (And you know who else was there? Has anyone ever seen Izuru drunk? No? Well him and Matsumoto are funny when their drunk. Anyway…) They all celebrated and apparently all had gifts ready. Some people didn't because they didn't know the gender of the baby yet. The Urahara Shoten was cheerful that night and the new son in the Kurosaki-Kuchiki line had only cried once that night.
Ah, finally that baby is born now I have the task of continuing the story afterward. I hope to include more comedy (especially with Keigo) with the gang. Yeah this extra family member might be a little difficult for everyone to handle at times….like father like son, right? Well we'll see whatever my mind decides to come up with next time. Please, reviews are very welcome and I thank those who review faithfully. Thank you soo much!!
