"So, I ask again: what are you doing here? And Karin, don't even think about running off!" Gin said sternly.

"It worked for Demi," Karin shot back, and Grimmjow gave her a fatherly glare.

"We were returning the twins, uncle, and I wanted to see you because I missed you," Ameil finally said timidly.

"We also wanted to see Bobby," Karin added just as Tousen came back. "Because of the weather, you all need to stay here for the night," he said.

"Who'd you talk to?" Ichigo asked.

"Yamamoto," he answered.

"Well, I suppose nothing can be done now. Come on Ichigo, let's go fight." Grimjow said, beckoning.

"Can we go fishing and look for bugs?" Nan asked excitedly.

"Nan, it's raining and my hair will get wet," Bess answered. Nan sighed at this familiar complaint.

"I told you before, Bess, rain never hurt anyone."

"And I told you that it could if you get sick, " Bess retorted. Nan stuck out her tongue and started to walk off.

"Nan, no," Gin said before she could leave.

"Fine," she said angrily and sighed.

"I guess if I wear a hat it would be ok," Bess said thoughtfully.

"BESS!" Grimjow said suprised.

"Still no," Gin said firmly.

"Come on Karin, let's go play kickball, I know a great place." As they ran off, Daisy asked, "Do they like each other?"

"Hard to tell." Bess said.

"I can't picture my sister in love," Ichigo said ruefully. "Neither can I," Ameil agreed.

"I think there might be something, although Karin will never admit it," Grimmjow said. His voice sounded a bit hopeful.

"I don't blame her," Nan said. "So you will never admit you like Nat?" Bess asked.

"I don't!" Nan said, blushing a very deep red. The grownups all laughed which annoyed her greatly.

"why do grownups have to laugh at us kids, it's not fair" Bess said.

Just then daisy Dlurted out, "Did Soifon tell you she's having a baby?"

"Daisy!" Bess, Ichigo and Ameil said in unison.

"What!" Tousen said, surprised. He ran off to call the soul society again.

Meanwhile, Gin told Ameil, "Come on, let's go spend some time together." As they left, Daisy went to go find her father. Grimjow and Ichigo went to go fight.

"Well, now what?" Bess asked as they were leaving. She immediately regretted asking after seeing the look in Nan's eye.

"Okay, I guess we are already in trouble the way it is," Bess said resignedly and followed Nan outside. They returned several hours later.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Grimmjow yelled at them with a sigh of relife on his face.

"I caught dinner," Bess said, holding up six fish.

"Look at these cool bugs," Nan said, very proud of herself.

"Gin, do you remember how to clean fish?" Bess asked. Gin nodded and took the slimy fish gingerly.

Demi took the glass jar from Nan's hands and Aizen quickly snatched it from him.

"Why didn't you bring us along?" Bobby and Karin asked. They earned a severe glare from Grimmjow. The girls were were led away by Menoly to get dried off.

"Come on guys, dinner," Aizen announced. As soon as they were seated, the three adults began to dig in.

"What about prayer?" Ameil asked.

"Oh, right," Aizen said, forgetting that the children had been raised as such.

"Yes, at school they always said prayers," Bobby said sadly. "I miss that a lot."

"All right, join hands," Aizen said.

"Dear Lord, thank you for this day and our meal. Please don't let Nan and Bess get sick."

"And bless Jinta," Demi added. "Amen," they all said

Later in the evening, they all told each other goodnight in the halls.

"Dad," Bobby asked. "Yes son?" Grimmjow answered.

"I miss going to school at Plumfield, can I please go back?" he said, eyes hopeful.

"Bobby," Grimmjow sighed. "I know you miss it, but it's too far away."

"I'll write often and come visit, please," he pleaded.

"Goodnight son, I love you," was all Grimmjow had to say. He then went to make sure Karin was in bed, and laughed when he saw her sleeping with her soccer ball.

Gin tucked Ameil in. "I missed you so much," he said, stroking the boy's hair.

"I missed you too but I'm glad you didn't take me out of Plumfield," he said.

"You have a life there and it is better for you there then with me," Gin said, giving him a kiss on his forehead. As he walked downstairs, he could here Demi protesting.

"I'm not tired!" he argued.

"Demi, it's bedtime and you had a long day."

"So?"

"Demi, please just go to bed," Aizen said, running a hand through his hair in frustration.

"No."

"Yes."

"No!"

"Yes!"

"NO!"

"Demi Sosuke Aizen!" At this, the boy finally gave up.

"Fine." His sister was much more complacent.

"'Night, daddy," Daisy said sweetly.

"'Night, Daisy," he said, kissing her on the head.

"Are you going to sleep?" Demi asked Aizen. "I'll be up later," Aizen said. The twins were going to sleep with him.
