Baby Scan: What Gender is Our child?

A/N: Here we are guys, another chapter. So, last chapter we just skipped a couple weeks, well, this time, we're taking a biiiiiig leap. Rukia is now 19 weeks pregnant, and they are going in for a scan to find out the gender of their baby. I'm going to put a flash back in to the first scan, so that will be in italics to help differentiate from story and flash back. Hope you enjoy this :)


Ichigo raced down the stairs, pulling on his jumper as fast as he could. He was late, and Rukia was going to kill him. Today was the day that they were going to find out the gender of their baby.

"Where are my keys!" Ichigo roared, angry at himself for being so unorganised and so very late.

"They're in the bowl at the front door," Karin said, bored. "And you don't have to shout."

Ichigo ran as fast as he could to the door, grabbing his car keys from the bowl, and opening the door. Unfortunately in his eagerness to get out, he smacked the door into his knee.

"Holy. FUUUCK!" Ichigo screamed as pain shot though his leg. But he had to power through the pain and get to the hospital fast.

Trying his best to stick beneath the speed limit, Ichigo drove as fast as he could, his mind drifting back to the first scan.

"God dammit, Ichigo," Rukia sighed. "Why are you only just arriving now, you almost missed the scan"

"I'm so sorry," he panted, trying his best to get air into his lungs. "I lost track of time."

"Rukia Kuchiki," the doctor called.

"Here," said Rukia, standing up.

"Come this way."

Smiling back at the doctor, Rukia follows after him, and Ichigo, after sighing, stands up, and follows her.

"I didn't even get to sit down," Ichigo grumbled.

"Well," Rukia snapped. "That's what you get for being late"

The doctor leads them into a room, and asks Rukia to lie on the bed. She hops up, and moves her shirt so that the doctor can apply the gel.

"This may be a bit cold," the doctor says. "So, don't say I didn't warn you."

He applies the gel, making Rukia let out a little squee.

"Wow," Rukia gasps. "That is quite cold."

The doctor laughs, and then puts the ultrasound machine to Rukia's stomach.

"Now, as you can see here, everything appears to be normal. And that little spot right there," he says, pointing at the screen. "Is your baby."

"Aaw, Ichigo," Rukia sighed. "Don't you think that it is adorable."

"Not wanting to sound biased," Ichigo mummered. "But that is the cutest little spot I have ever seen."

Rukia laughed and forgave Ichigo for being late.

Snapping out of his day dream, Ichigo realised that he could not be late again. Applying a little more speed, Ichigo shoots down the road towards the hospital.

Oblivious to Ichigo's desperate attempts to get to the hospital as fast as possible, Rukia sits in the waiting room of the hospital, silently fuming at the fact that Ichigo has not yet arrived.

Their doctor came into the waiting room. "Rukia Kuchiki," he called.

"I'm here," she said nervously. "But I'm still waiting on the father of the child."

"I'm sorry," the doctor apologised. "But we have to do it now."

Looking around for Ichigo one last time, Rukia stands up and follows the doctor through the doors.

"Wait!" Someone calls from down the hall.

Rukia stops and turns around to see Ichigo running forward as fast as he can.

"I'm here, and I am not late," Ichigo panted.

"Seriously, Ichigo," Rukia fussed. "You could get here quicker next time, could you not!"

"I am really sorry," Ichigo said, looking at Rukia with his brown eyes. "I promise you that I will get here quicker."

"Ok," Rukia said, still a little angry. "Come on, lets find out the gender of our baby."

The doctor lead them into the room and applied the gel to Rukia's stomach.

"Ok," he said. "Lets see whats going on with your baby."

The doctor put the ultrasound to Rukia stomach an started to check the screen. "Ok," he mutters, more to himself than Ichigo and Rukia. "The good news is that your baby has a nice regular heartbeat and is growing healthily."

"And the gender?" Rukia asks nervously.

"Mr Kurosaki, Miss Kuchiki. You're having a girl."

Ichigo reached forward and gently took hold of Rukia's hand. "We're having a girl,"" he whispered

"I can't believe it" Rukia replied. "I love you, Ichigo Kurosaki."

"And I love you too, Rukia Kuchiki," Ichigo replied as he leaned forward and kissed her.


A/N: So, they're having a girl. I'm going to be perfectly honest, I didn't know what gender to make the child, so at the last minute, just as I was writing the doctors line, I took a coin, and flipped it. Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I will try and upload soonish. Sorry about the random, spontanious updates, they may be good, but I think people would like it better if I updated regularly and on certain days. Well, thank you for reading and please review and send in baby names.
