Baby Shower

A/N: Mkay, so now Rukia is 30 weeks pregnant, and Rukia and Ichigo's friends have decided to throw a baby shower. Because everyone else in the Kurosaki family would have blabbed about it, only Yuzu knows about it and has told Ichigo and Rukia where to go to get to it. Enjoy :)


"You're lost again, aren't you?" Rukia sighed as Ichigo turned right into yet another dead end.

"No," he responded, snapping a little. "I am not lost. I have just temporarily misplaced my sense of direction."

This causes Rukia to laugh as Ichigo backs out of the street and returns to the main road.

"Why did Yuzu ask us to go to Urahara's shop again?" Rukia asked. "And why can't you find it? You've been there so many times."

"I have no idea," Ichigo answers, a slight desperation creeping into his voice. "To both questions."

This makes Rukia laugh again as Ichigo pretends to hang his head in shame. They drive on for 10 minutes in silence trying to remember how to get to Urahara's shop when Rukia starts to tell Ichigo her plans for the wedding.

"So, I was thinking we could have it in June," she says excitedly. "Cause then we could have it outside, provided it doesn't rain."

Trying his very best to listen, Ichigo nods his head and mumbling "sounds great" at appropriate times.

"And maybe we should just have a giant pterodactyl poop over everything when we are done, in hope that we turn into pterodactyls ourselves."

"Uhhuh," Ichigo muttered. "Sounds great"

"You're not even listening are you?" Rukia asks, pointedly.

"Of course I'm listening," Ichigo responded defensively. "We're going to have Byakuya poop over everything and kill us, or something like that."

Rukia turned to him with fury in her eyes. "You weren't listening to a word I said. You only vaugley heard something about a pterodactyl because those are your favourite animal, you doofus."

"I'm sorry," Ichigo began but Rukia cut him off with a glare.

"You, know," she said. "Sometimes I think you don't actually want to get married. You're only doing this because I'm pregnant."

Stunned by the fact that Rukia would even think of this, Ichigo drives the rest of the way in silence.

When they pull into the car park, Rukia turns to Ichigo and says: "I'm sorry I said you don't want to get married. I know you do, and I shouldn't have even thought something like that"

"Don't worry about it," Ichigo replied, a smile on his face. "I know you didn't mean it."

Smiling, they both got out of the car. "So, why do you think Yuzu dragged us here?" Rukia asked

"I have no idea," Ichigo responded after thinking for a couple of seconds. "Maybe she found a new cake recipe and was cooking in private."

Ichigo and Rukia walk up to the door, hand in hand

"Wait a minute," Rukia said, suddenly stepping back. "We may want to tell Byakuya about the baby."

Ichigo spun around quickly to look at her. "You haven't told him yet!"

Rukia blushes and rushes towards the door. "Lets just go in," she said, grabbing Ichigo's arm and pulling him forward.

She crashes into the door, forcing it open.

"Surprise!" Everyone yells.

"What is happening here?" Ichigo asks, startled.

"Its a baby shower," Yuzu explains.

"Oh, that makes... Sense," Ichigo stutters.

"Come on guys," Karin yells. "Lets have a party!"
