Bleach (c): Tite Kubo
Story (c): Yours Truly
"Out of the way, lady with a baby!" Ichigo shouted as he burst through the doors of the fourth division, carrying his pregnant wife bridal style.
Orihime hid her face, which had become rather flushed, "Ichigo you're embarrassing me." She felt another contraction and scrunched her face in pain.
"Ah, don't worry, we're almost to the maternity ward. . .I think."
"Mr. Kurosaki," a serene voice said from behind him, making him skid to a stop.
"Ah, oh, um, hello, Captain Unohana," Ichigo said sheepishly.
"The maternity ward is this way, follow me."
Ichigo smiled, "Oh, thanks, Unohana."
After reaching the maternity ward and gentle placing his wife on one of the beds Ichigo immediately began to pace back and forth.
"Ichigo." Orihime said to him, reaching out her hand, "there's no need to be nervous. I'm in good hands, everything will be fine."
"I know. It's just, you're about to have a baby. Two babies."
Orihime laughed, "Yes, I am."
"We're about to be parents. I'm going to be a father."
"And you'll make a wonderful father."
"Alright Mr. Kurosaki," Unohana chimed in, "I'm going to have to ask you to leave. I'll call you back in."
"Ah, right."
Ichigo was now pacing just outside the door, twiddling his thumbs.
I don't think I've ever seen you this worked up.
Shut up.
You know, I think I deserve a bit of gratitude. I mean, if it weren't for me giving you a little push you'd still be a fumbling mess in the bedroom and we wouldn't be here today, would we?
Ichigo glared and his inner hollow laughed.
Hours passed and Ichigo was finally called back into the ward. He all but broke down the door.
Orihime looked up at him and gave him a tired smile. In her arms were a beautiful baby girl and baby boy.
"They're so tiny."
"Yeah. Would you like to hold one?"
"Ah, yeah," Ichigo replied, taking the girl into his arms and rocking her gently.
"I was thinking of naming them Masaki and Sora." Orihime said, "Is that ok?"
"It's perfect."
At that moment the little girl, Masaki, opened her eyes. Ichigo grinned, "Hi, Masaki.
Hey, I think she has my eyes.
Ichigo looked and his newborn daughters eyes did have a bit of a gold tint to them, just like he did when he put on his mask.
Ugh. . .
I think her brother has a bit of white in his hair, don't you?
Yeah, now you're just making shit up.
The hollow laughed.
Ah, well, in any case, congratulations, King.
Author's Note:
See? I told you guys I'd be back on track :)
Alright, so this entire week I have been itching to add Hichigo into one of these drabbles and I finally caved in. He's my favorite character so I just can't resist adding him into my stories. XD
Reviews are appreciated :)
Take care and God bless,
