"Are you feeling alright Rukia?" Momo asked as Rukia smiled weakly at her as Rukia put on her dress.

"I'm feeling just fine Momo, I know as a queen you have your duties, you shouldn't be staying around here." Rukia said, she had forgiven Momo, at the very least and now Momo tried to help Rukia after the whole Aizen incident.

"I should really buy a new dress to replace the one that got…ripped." Momo said, a little queasy but Rukia tsked.

"You don't need to buy me a new dress Momo, maybe one for my birthday or something, but not right now, besides, that was one getting old anyways." Rukia said nonchalantly as she sat down on her bed right next to Momo and put her hands over Momo's and smiled at her as Momo looked up at her.

"I know you want to tell me something." Rukia said and Momo rubbed her arm nervously and laughed nervously.

"Well…I and Toshirou started talking about a few…things." Momo said as she started laughing nervously and Rukia arched a brow and smiled.

"And what would that be?" Rukia asked, she was speaking softly and she was smiling and Momo took that as a good sign.

"Well…Toshirou think it's time…we should start…trying to have…" Momo was getting more nervous, she was excited, but nervous and Rukia started laughing.

"Should try having some alone time? If he did then that's good, he seriously needs to stop working all the time." Rukia laughed and then stopped laughing as Momo slapped her hand lightly.

"No…we are talking about…trying to get some heirs born…" Momo gulped and closed her eyes, waiting for the scolding that was going to come any second, but all she did was feel a tight hug.

"That'll be a good choice, don't worry, it's not as bad as you think it will be, it'll be a good thing, I'll always be there." Rukia said as Momo sighed and closed her eyes as she hugged her sister.

She knew she could always rely on her sister.

She was the only one that could understand.

The only one that would understand…why she had to do this in the end…

Ten months later:

"Rukia it hurts!" Momo cried as she clamped Rukia's hand tighter and Rukia furrowed her brows together, not caring that her hand was close to breaking.

"Come on Momo, you heard, it's just one more push!" Rukia urged on and Momo tried, but gave up, the pain was too hard, and her abdomen hurt like hell.

"I don't want to Rukia, it hurts…I want to give up!" Momo whined as she panted and Rukia palmed her forehead.

"DON'T GIVE UP. This is your heir we are talking about; don't give up, because Kuchikis never give up!" Rukia yelled as Momo grasped her hand tighter and then pushed and the baby came out. Its body, covered with blood, and crying as it shook its little hands and feet as the mid wives took it and dipped it in purification water and toweled it off gently and wrapped it in a blanket. Momo panted heavily as she fell back onto the bed while the mid wives gave the new heir to Rukia's awaiting arms. Rukia smiled as the baby cooed and tried to grasp a few free strands from Rukia's ebony locks and Rukia tickled its nose.

"Aren't you tiny? You are so precious." Rukia whispered as the baby girl wrapped its little hand around Rukia's fingers and then closed its eyes and fell asleep. Rukia smiled and when Momo stopped panting, she inhaled and exhaled, going back to regular breathing. Her hair, damp from labor and her face gave a worn look and Momo looked at Rukia.

"What gender is the child?" Momo asked and Rukia smiled as she looked at the girl and Momo furrowed her brows. "What gender is the child Rukia?" Momo hissed and Rukia turned around and smiled.

"It's a girl, a healthy and rather tiny girl." Rukia said as she brushed her lips over the girl's forehead and gave the baby to Momo. Hitsugaya came in and his lips curled into a large smile as he saw his heir and child in his wife's arms. Hitsugaya looked at Rukia and Rukia smiled back as she wiped her hands on the towel given by the maid.

"What gender is it?" Hitsugaya asked and Rukia gave him a large smile.

"A girl, finally we'll have a girl to take over when the old Hitsugaya retires." Rukia teased as Hitsugaya rolled his eyes and went up to Momo and Momo was frowning, no…scowling.

"Her name is Elizabeth, the two of you, prepare a room, Rukia take her, I wish to rest." Momo demanded coldly and Rukia happily took the child in her arms as the baby fell asleep. Rukia, the maids, and Hitsugaya went out of the room and Rukia closed the door behind her while Hitsugaya held out his arms to hold his new born. Rukia gave Elizabeth to Hitsugaya and Hitsugaya held her gently. She was peacefully sleeping and Rukia smiled, seeing her best friend hold his new child, she wish she could have painted it. He had this look on his face that made him seem like he was in bliss. Hitsugaya handed Elizabeth back to Rukia and Rukia cradled her.

"Momo sure does seem tired; I'm assuming she doesn't want to sleep with me tonight." Hitsugaya joked and Rukia laughed as she playfully slapped his arm.

"Well your wife just delivered a child, but only one that's five pounds, so I'm assuming that after giving birth she would be tired." Rukia chuckled as Hitsugaya smiled and walked with Rukia to the room where Elizabeth would be put in to sleep until she grew up.

"Well…I can see why after the challenge I gave her." Hitsugaya muttered and got a slap to the back of his head and he rubbed the back of his head.

"You shouldn't be so perverted, pervert." Rukia teased and Hitsugaya smirked.

"You know, you shouldn't be hurting the king, I could have you executed for that." Hitsugaya joked and Rukia smiled.

"You know you wouldn't either." Rukia said as the turned and entered in the room, already freshly painted to an ice blue with little animals painted on there and Rukia set down Elizabeth in her crib and kissed her forehead and covered her up with the blanket. It was made out of red silk that had touches of pink in there and had the symbol of the King on embroidered on it.

"True, now come on, we should start eating dinner." Hitsugaya gestured as Rukia nodded and wiped her slim pale hands on her dress and then looked back at Elizabeth and smiled before she went out and closed the door behind her.

The next day:

"Momo…can I come in?" Rukia asked and a soft grunt was her reply and Rukia smiled as she went in. She saw Momo looking out of the window, the one that had been closed to her, and covered with dark black drapes so Elizabeth wasn't harmed during the months in the womb. The dark black drapes were ripped away this morning and Momo had a perfect view of the garden.

"Rukia…I see the plum blossom tree, but what is that one in the back?" Momo asked as Rukia walked up to Momo and looked in the way Momo was looking and nearly laughed at what Momo was asking.

"Oh, that's a cherry blossom tree Momo." Rukia said as she took a sip of the tea she had brought in for herself. Momo furrowed her brows together.

"He knows I don't like cherry blossoms." Momo said a little angrily and Rukia refrained chuckling at her sister's last statement.

"That's because I asked him to plant on there Momo." Rukia said regally as she took a sip and saw Momo glare at her.

"You know I don't like them." Momo said through gritted teeth and Rukia brushed it off.

"Momo, I know you love those damn plum blossom trees, but get over it, it's just one cherry blossom tree." Rukia said and Momo sighed.

"How is Elizabeth doing?" Momo asked, Rukia could have sworn she heard…regret in Momo's voice.

"She's fine, you want to see her? I'll bring her over." Rukia offered as she got up but Momo stopped her.

"No, I'm fine; she doesn't need her mother right away anyways." Momo coldly shot back quickly and Rukia arched a brow.

"Are you sure you don't want to see her?" Rukia asked and Momo glared at her.

"I told you, I don't want to see her, if I tell I don't want to see her, and then I don't want to see her." Momo bit back angrily and Rukia backed off.

"Fine, I'll oblige to it, so when can you get out of bed?" Rukia asked and Momo rolled her eyes.

"Tomorrow morning Rukia, you don't have to worry about me." Momo said and Rukia rolled her eyes.

"Well in about two weeks, I'm going on a two month trade for the Kuchiki trade, it's time that I finally go, and I am of proper age." Rukia said and Momo widened her eyes. She was utterly jealous of Rukia now.

She always wanted to go to the Kuchiki trade meeting.

It was filled with talk about jewelry and wealth and all of other things that Momo could possibly want. Why didn't she get to go? She was the queen; she should have been the one going, not Rukia.

"What, how come father didn't pick me to go?!" Momo screeched and Rukia arched a brow.

"Momo, what's wrong?!" Rukia asked and Momo glared at her.

"I've always wanted to go on that trade; I can't believe father picked you to go!" Momo yelled and Rukia was stunned, she was taken aback. Momo had never yelled at her before about something that regarded family matters.

"What's wrong with me going?!" Rukia yelled back, she got it now; Momo was jealous, jealous that she got to go on the trade and she didn't.

"I'm the queen, I should be the only one allowed to go!" Momo yelled and Rukia slammed down her tea cup onto the table and spun off the bed and glared at Momo. She was getting out of hand.

"Just because you are the damn queen doesn't mean that I can't go to these meetings. I'm sorry if I seem a little offensive, but right now you are acting like a selfish bitch! I don't' care if you are queen! I was the one next to go anyways. Just because you are the queen and married to Hitsugaya does not mean you always get your way! Plus, I've known that I was going for two years and because you want to be selfish, I won't let you go!" Rukia yelled back and Momo glared at her.

"You have no right, I'm better with trade; I should be allowed to go!" Momo yelled, their voices remaining in the room because the doors were thick and the walls were as well.

"I know they are going to be things you desire that you want to posses, that's why I am not letting you go!" Rukia spat and Momo had the urge to slap her.

"You don't know what the hell you are talking about!" Momo yelled and Rukia glared at her, her slim and pale hands balled up into fists.

"Remember when all of those times when Father would have that jeweler come with his pieces and he called us to choose a few? YOU CHOSE ALL OF THEM and Father felt so bad for me, he decided to buy me a case worth of jewelry!" Rukia yelled back and Momo rose out her hand to slap her, but it never connected to her cheek.

"How dare you speak to me of this way, I'm the queen!" Momo pulled out the rank card on Rukia and Rukia slapped her.

"I don't care if you are the damn queen, the truth is, you are just jealous that you can't go, well face it, I'm the one that was chosen to go, and I am going, whether you like it or not, if you hate me, I really don't care. I knew coming to visit you was a mistake." Rukia said as she grabbed her cup and stormed out of the room. Momo shook her head in anger. Rukia got what she always wanted. Either if she was the queen or wasn't, Rukia always got it got the fame…and everything. What did Momo have?

Yet, she could have everything, but why did Rukia have to get more?

Why did Rukia get everything and she couldn't?

Well not this time, Rukia wouldn't get her way, and Momo knew one way…

Elizabeth.

Author's note: It's not implying that Rukia wants Elizabeth as her own…just watch in the next chapter! Foreshadowing is a wonderful thing. Please review and I know it's been two weeks!
