WoW! Heres the next chapter everyone has been at me to post (since i cheated everyone out of it the last time) WHICH IM SORRY ABOUT!

Anyways i wasnt happy with the original chappie so i deleted the whole thing and started FROM SCRATCH!

BTW this is the work of 3 coffees and a piece of dark chocolate cake so i was on a sorta high when i wrote this.

Disclaimer- Are you completely oblivious??? of course i dont own bleach...or Ichigo...but i wish i did XD!

Why is this taking so long part 5?

'Don't worry. You can do this.'

'We're both here with you.'

'Yeh but…'

'Look the two of us got exempted from two classes today to come with you.'

'And that means we have to do the test tomorrow, and all the catch up work.'

'So you can't back out.'

'We won't let you.'

Rukia closed her eyes and took a deep breathe trying to get her breathing back down to a normal rhythm, nodding her head slowly. She looked over at the sign next to the door:

Karakura Medical Clinic

Ok. Let's go.' Rukia said her voice low and shaky. Her feet started to shuffle against the cemented walk way and she started climbing the few steps till she reached the door. Orihime and Tatsuki were by her side as they entered the small but modern designed building. The moment the automatic sliding doors opened they were met by the smell of bleach and air sanitizer. To their left was a room that was marked the waiting room and to their right was a corridor with a series of doors running off it.

They stepped in and walked toward a red haired woman sitting behind a white desk hosting a laptop and desktop computer and an assortment of files and a vase of flowers. She peered up over the glasses sitting on her nose for a second then brought her whole head up and smiled brightly at Rukia.

'Hello there. How may I help you?' She asked cheerfully, still smiling.

'I…I have an.. Appointment.'

'Oh. Well what's your name?'

'Kuchiki, Rukia.'

'Ah yes. I have you down for the three o'clock ultrasound. If you just fill out this form ill let the doctor know your here.' She said, handing Rukia a clipboard and pen. Rukia took hold of it and slowly walked toward the waiting room and sat down on the first available seat. Tatsuki and Orihime took the two vacant seats around her and sat quietly. She clicked the pen holding it just above the page reading what to write.

'Name. Rukia Kuchiki. Address.' With the address she blanked. She couldn't think of what to put.

'Just put mine down. And you can use my home phone number for the time being too.' Orihime offered smiling at the confused Rukia. Rukia smiled back at her and wrote down the details in blocked letters.

'How far along is your pregnancy? Two months.' Rukia said, talking to herself and the clipboard more than anyone. She filled out the rest of the boxes and signed on the dotted.

'Ill be right back.' She stood up from the chair and walked back over to the desk. She handed the clipboard and pen back to the receptionist who received them still smiling.

'Ok the doctor will be done shortly.' The receptionist said reading over the chart. Rukia turned back and walked back into the waiting room. She placed her hands folded in her lap and looked around the room. The florescent lights gave a natural glow to the blue walls. There were pictures, drawn by children and a few hanging pictures with boats on them. Her hands started shaking when a woman came running out to the waiting room and jumped into the arms of a man, who was all too willing to catch her.

'I'm pregnant!' She screamed, tears running down her face. The man twirled her in his arms and the both of them started laughing. When he put her down he started kissing her in front of everyone.

'I think I'm going to be sick.' Rukia mumbled, turning her head to look at Tatsuki, who gave the look of "I know what you mean".

The minutes ticked by slowly and after half an hour a woman with long black hair stood in the archway of the waiting room.

'Rukia Kuchiki?'

'Here.' Rukia said, standing up from her seat. Orihime and Tatsuki stayed seated, thinking they either wouldn't be allowed to go in or Rukia wouldn't want them there.

'I'm Doctor Oberman and I'll be doing your ultrasound today. Are they your friends?'

'Yes.' Rukia said nodding.

'They can come in if you want.'

'Thank god.' Rukia turned and grabbed Orihime and Tatsuki by their hands and dragged them from their seats.

'Are you sure Rukia?' Tatsuki asked, a little hesitant.

'Wouldn't you rather go in alone?' Orihime asked.

'Are you kidding? I'm going to need witnesses in there incase I pass out.' Rukia said smiling hoping they would come. Tatsuki smiled back nodding.

'Ok ill come in.'

'Me too.' Orihime said smiling widely.

'Ok, follow me.' The doctor turned and led the three of them down a short hall way and stopped out the front of a door with the number four on it. She opened the door up and gestured for Rukia to go in first. Inside the room were a chair which resembled a bed and a few chairs. Sitting next to the bed was a machine with a screen.

'Ok Rukia, if you could just change into this ill get the equipment ready.' The doctor said. She handed Rukia a white short sleeved gown to change into.

'So do I leave like underwear and stuff on?'

'Just the bottoms can stay on. Everything else ill need you to take off.'

'Umm where do I change?' Rukia asked hesitantly, hoping she wouldn't have to change in the room.

'There's bathroom's right next door.'

'Thank you.' Rukia turned and pushed the door open and walked a few short steps to the bathroom. She opened the door and closed it behind her, making sure she locked it. She turned and placed the gown on the small bench and started stripping off her sweater, along with her shirt. She dropped them next to the gown and looked down at her stomach. The bump was becoming visible enough to the naked eyes. She raised a hand to her belly and spread it out across the bump, giving it a small rub.

'Hey there.' She whispered, a smile spreading across her face. She removed her hand and continued to strip out her clothing, leaving the bottom part of her underwear on. She dumped the remaining clothes on the bench and unfolded the gown and slid her arms into the holes. She pulled the material around her back and reached for the tie just up near her neck and tried to tie it but couldn't. So she gathered her clothes up and held them in one arm while the other unlocked the door then went behind her back to hold the folds together.

She walked out into the hallway and made sure no one else was around and re entered the previous room.

'All done. Good. You can just leave your clothes on the desk.' Rukia followed the doctors instructions and walked over to the desk and dumped everything from her arm onto the surface. She turned to Orihime who was sitting patiently in one of the chairs and took a step towards her.

'Orihime could help me?' She asked directing to the tie on her neck. Orihime stood up quickly and took each tie from Rukia's hand and tied them loosely.

'There you go.' Orihime said cheerfully.

'Thanks'

'Ok Rukia, we're all ready here. If you'll just lie out on the bed please, we can begin.' The doctor said, sitting down on a stool in front of the machine. Rukia walked over to the bed and slowly climbed on, feeling the gown rid up behind her knees. She pulled the hem down and laid back against the bed head, trying hard to relax. She raised her right arm up and rested the top of her head in the crook of her elbow, while her left arm covered her stomach.

'Ok ready?' The doctor asked. She was holding a sort of stick in her gloved hand and held a bottle in the other. Rukia gave and nod and the doctor lifted the edge of the gown back up above Rukia's stomach. She applied some gel from the bottle in her left hand and placed it next to the screen on the monitor. She positioned the sensor on her stomach and started fiddling around with the controls on the monitor. The gel was freezing on Rukia's stomach and she could feel the air conditioner blowing around the room.

'It's cold.'

'Yeah I'm sorry about that. It won't take too long.' The doctor said, not taking her eyes off the monitor. She maneuvered the sensor around Rukia's stomach until she stopped with a smile. She pulled the machine around a bit so the screen was in clear view for Rukia but Rukia looked over at her, slightly confused.

'That's your baby.' The doctor said with a smile, point at the screen. The screen was black with speck of white across it but there was a clear shape of a baby on the screen. As soon as she saw the screen, Rukia was captivated by what she was seeing. She sat up straighter and got closer to the screen.

'Oh my god.' She whispered sniffling back tears trying to escape. Orihime and Tatsuki were already standing next to Rukia, looking at the screen too.

'Wow, it's so tiny.' Orihime said, a tear already running down her cheek. Rukia reached out her right hand towards the screen and gently ran her index finger along the image of her baby. Under her fingers the slight movements of the baby could be seen and Rukia sat in awe at the sight.

'Am I able to get a picture?' She asked, still captivated and dazed by the screen. She also couldn't hold back the tears and they escaped down her cheeks.

'Of course.' The doctor replied, smiling at Rukia, who was dazed. The doctor fiddled around for a few minutes then removed the sensor from Rukia's stomach and cleaned off the remaining gel. While the doctor was sorting out Rukia's file and developing the picture, Rukia swung her feet off the bed and sat on the edge, dangling her feet in front of her.

Tatsuki and Orihime held Rukia's hands and smiled at her. She looked up at them both then shocking them, pulled them into a one armed hug.

'Thank you for coming here.' She cried. She pulled back and smiled at them both, drying the tears off her face.

'Anytime Rukia.' Orihime said, returning the smile.

'Ok Rukia, you can change back into your clothes now. Ill just get the picture for you.' The doctor left the room, leaving Rukia alone with Orihime and Tatsuki. She jumped off the bed and walked over to her clothes and pulled on the pants, then was able to slip on her bra without taking the gown off.

'Hey Rukia, we should celebrate. I'll treat some ice cream. What do you say?' Tatsuki said, looking up at the wall of baby photo's while Rukia got dressed. She shifted her foot around across the ground, tapping the sole against the laminated flooring.

'Sure.'

When Rukia was dressed she joined Tatsuki and Orihime in looking at the dozens of baby pictures on the wall.

'Here you go. Now I'd like you to come back in two weeks time and I'd like you to keep a small diary.'

'A diary?'

'Just to keep track of your diet, your weight and mood swings. Just to make sure everything's going well.'

'Why wouldn't it?'

'With any pregnancy there is always risks involved. But when I'm dealing with someone of your age I just like to be extra careful.'

'Risks?'

Your body is still developing and if the morning sickness becomes too frequent it could deprive your body and the babies of the nutrients it needs. So I would just like for us to keep track of these things and if any problems arise we can sort them out quickly.'

'Oh,ok.' Rukia said nodding in understanding.

'OK well we're done here and I'll see you in two weeks.' The doctor said with a gentle smile. Rukia smiled back and exited the room with Orihime and Tatsuki. When she heard the door close behind her she propped her back against the wall and took a few deeps breathes.

'You ok?'

She opened her eyes and noticed her friend standing next to her, looking at her, worried.

'Yeah I'm fine.' She replied, smiling gently.

'Well that's good to hear. Now let's get out of here; its ice cream time.' Tatsuki said. Rukia just gave a nod and exited the clinic after paying for her appointment.

'That was just…the most amazing thing ever.' Orihime said, still awed.

'It is pretty cool.' Rukia said, stirring her ice cream with the spoon.

'And it was so small. I mean I know they are supposed to be but still…so incredibly weird in a way.'

Rukia smiled up at Orihime then returned her gave to her melting ice cream.

'You ok Rukia?'

'I tried telling Ichigo.' Orihime and Tatsuki went silent and stared at Rukia, watching her squinting against the afternoon sun as she scanned their reactions.

'When?' Tatsuki asked, putting her spoon down on the table.

'Last night.'

'Oh my god. What happened?' Orihime slammed her spoon down onto the table and leaned in closer to Rukia, her eyes wide with shock.

'His sister cut me off and I never got the telling him part. And then I bolted.'

'YOU WHAT?' Tatsuki yelled, causing everyone around them to go silent and stare at the disruption.

'He went downstairs and I climbed out the window and ran.'

'Why?' Orihime asked, crossing her arms on the edge of the table.

'Just…something snapped. I got scared and just needed to get out of there.'

The three of them stayed silent for a while, just looking from one to the other.

'Will you be trying again?'

'Yeah.'

'I mean before the turn of the century. You know before the ice caps melt.'

'Yes ill tell him. Just need to pick a better moment is all.'

"I just…need to make sure we're alone when I eventually do." She thought, averting her gaze from the table to the perfect clear blue sky above. "I can't push it." She put her hand over the fairly noticeable bump and sighed.

'Well with the way you're developing, I don't think you will be able to hide it for too much longer. Even Ichigo isn't that dumb…well at least I don't think he is.' Rukia just smiled, suppressing a laugh at Tatsuki's comment.

'Come on; let's get you out of here.' Rukia looked back at her friends seeing them starting to leave the table. She pushed her chair back, the metal legs grinding loudly against the pavement. She stood up and pushed the chair back in towards the table.

'Well I'm going to have to head off now. I still haven't completed that paper for English yet.' Tatsuki said turning to face both Rukia and Orihime.

'Ok I'll see you tomorrow.' Rukia smiled to the two girls and she started walking down the sidewalk away from her two friends. She rounded the corner to where the bus stop was and plonked down on the hard metal bench. The clear plastic walls around three sides didn't provide much protection from the breeze, and Rukia rubbed her hands up and down her arms, trying to create some friction to keep herself warm.

When the bus stopped in front of her she stood up from the bench and walked towards the open door and carefully climbed the steps. She pulled her bus pass from her pocket and showed it to the driver who gave a nod and gestured to her to find a seat. She chose a window seat and sat down just as the bus started moving.

'Wonder what's happening.' She muttered to herself, letting her thoughts wonder to what the orange haired teen was doing. "Guess I'll find out soon enough."
