A/N: All who have read my one-shot will probably want to know why Byakuya fainted when he found out Ravyn was pregnant. This is set a few months afterwards (Ravyn is beginning to show) and a manipulative little madam if I do say so myself. Possible OOC-mess (let me rephrase that, total OOC-ness). Enjoy!

Title: Why did you faint?

Category: Bleach

Words: 799

Captain Byakuya Kuchiki looked up from the pile of papers in front of him to see his Lieutenant standing in the doorway, a hand on her slight bump and he looked away quickly. There was no telling what she'd do; he could still feel the slight bruise on his back when he'd told her to correct her signature once again. He supposed it was his fault for tempting fate like that but he didn't realise how hormonal she would be, she was normally respectful around him (he obviously never went drinking with her and so hadn't seen her on the few occasions where she was rather 'jolly').

"Kuchiki-taicho, I have some papers here that need you to review and then sign. I also need to talk to you about that list I asked you to make on places for me and Kurosaki-taicho to live."

Byakuya looked back at her and realised she was in one of her better moods, but for how long was unknown, nodding he indicated for her to sit in the seat across from him as he removed a file from his desk draw. When he looked up again it was to see Ravyn staring at him intently, he looked down at the file before sliding it across his desk towards her.

"Thank you," She paused, "Kuchiki-taicho in around five to six months I will not be here to help you with your work, as you know I am pregnant and will need time to look after my child." Ravyn looked up to see Byakuya's face pale more than usual, her eyes narrowed.

"Sir, I was wondering who you were going to have assist you until I can return?" She watched again as he refused to meet her eyes and smirked inwardly, "I was thinking that maybe Kenpachi-taicho would allow you to have the help of his Lieutenant." Once again she watched his face pale and sighed, "Sir is there something wrong with the Lieutenant or my being pregnant?"

Byakuya stood quickly from his seat and looked out of the window at the courtyard outside, he could see Ichigo Kurosaki talking to some of the member's and knew that the man was there to pick up his fiancé to continue their house hunting.

"Sir?"

Byakuya turned and looked at the slim hands of his Lieutenant resting on her baby bump, "There is nothing wrong with your pregnancy Redbird."

"But you still pale and look away whenever I make conversation with you sir, which is a sure sign that there is something wrong."

Byakuya swallowed slowly and looked into her brilliant green eyes, trying to convey that which he could not bring himself to ask her, she just blinked slowly in response before standing.

"If you shall not tell me then I will speak to Yamamoto-taicho on getting me a new position, or even transferring me to another squad." She took a few steps towards the door.

"What if it's a hollow?" Ravyn stopped, smirked and then after schooling her expression turned to face her Captain who was looking away from her a little red in the face.

"Ah, so that is why you have been distant, and probably the reason why you fainted at the news." She smiled when his face darkened more, she never thought she'd see the day when her Captain blushed, "I guess there is a possibility, but as the child will be more shinigami than hollow I don't believe it will." She moved to her Captain's side and placed a hand on his arm.

"I already voiced this to Unohana-taicho and she did the necessary checks, I am having a pure shinigami child, although in later years it could develop a hollow form like their father." She tilted her head as Byakuya looked at her finally, "I'm sure that you'll also be a good godfather to it, I know you have a fear of children but me and Ichi couldn't think of anyone for that position."

Byakuya made to speak before she looked towards the clock on the wall and moved away from him, "I've got to meet Ichi, thanks for helping with the house search." And then she left the file on his desk gone with her. Slumping into his seat he breathed a sigh, he had no idea how his Lieutenant did it but she'd managed to stop the cold grip he'd felt on him ever since he'd woken from his fainting spell. He'd also have to speak to Captain Unohana as he was sure his Lieutenant had lied to him, with the news of her being pregnant having a hollow child would have been the last thing on his mind.

"Fear of children, indeed." He looked towards the door and smiled, he'd be honoured to be the child's godfather.
