A/N: Hey guys, second to last chapter here. Rukia is now 40 weeks pregnant, and the lie of her just getting fat is not working on Byakuya. Rukia, not wanting to face him, sends Ichigo to ask for his blessing for the wedding and also to tell him about the pregnancy. Enjoy guys :)


Asking Byakuya

Ichigo nervously straightened his tie as he waited for Byakuya to answer the door. "I so hope he doesn't have his zanpakto close when I tell him Rukia is pregnant," Ichigo muttered to himself. "I should have brought Zangetsu with me."

The door started to open and Ichigo saw a butler standing in front of him.

"Master Kuchiki is ready to see you now." Without waiting for a response, the butler walked into the mansion, expecting Ichigo to follow. Taking one last breath, Ichigo walks into the mansion.

He walked into a large hallway, looking up to see a chandelier hanging ominously over his head.

"Why are you here, Ichigo Kurosaki?" A cold voice floated down the stairs, making Ichigo look up to see Byakuya walking towards him.

"Well, umm, you see, Byakuya, Ruk-" Ichigo stuttered until Byakuya interrupted him.

"Don't you speak so formally to me. You will address me as Captain Kuchiki or leave this house now." A cold look in Byakuya's eyes told Ichigo that he would be thrown out at a simple gesture from Byakuya.

"Sorry. Captain Kuchiki," Ichigo started again. "Rukia and I are getting married soon, as you know, and before we get married, she wanted me to tell you that she is-" Just before Ichigo can say the crucial sentence is phone began to ring.

Pulling is phone out of his pocket, he saw that it was Rukia calling him. Why now? Did she want to wait until after they were married to tell Byakuya now? Suddenly, Byakuya was behind him. "If you do not answer my sister when she phones you, I will cancel your wedding, whether she wants to or not"

Ichigo quickly answered. "Hey," he started. "I' just about to-"

Ichigo stopped talking when he heard Rukia moaning in pain. "Ichigo, please," Rukia panted. "You have to come home now!"

Shocked, Ichigo starts to walk away from Byakuya. "Why?" Ichigo asks, worried. "What's happening?"

"Ichigo," Rukia says quickly, her voice betraying how scared she is. "I've gone into labour"

Ichigo stopped. He looked back to see Byakuya glaring at him for walking away and telling him nothing. "I'll be right there. I promise" Ichigo hung up the phone.

"What did she say?" Demanded Byakuya, an ice cold hatred seeping into his voice.

"Can we talk another time?" Ichigo pleaded.

"Tell me what she said," Byakuya said, slowly drawing his sword. "Or I will kill you where you stand."

"Ok," Ichigo said, raising his hands. "I have to get back to her right now. She has gone into labour."

Quicker than Ichigo's eye could follow, Byakuya lunged at him and pressed his sword to his neck.

"Are you telling me that you got my sister pregnant before you married her!" Byakuya roared. "How dare you violate her in such a way!"

A sudden rush of anger flowed through Ichigo, causing him to push back against Byakuya, throwing off him and into the wall on the other side of the room. Ichigo charged forward and before he could think about it, pulled back his arm and punched Byakuya across the jaw.

"Your sister has gone into labour and all you can think about it that I got her pregnant!" Ichigo shouted, causing Byakuya to back down a little. "Instead of helping me get to her, you wave your sword around and threaten me!"

Ichigo shoves Byakuya against the wall one last time before turning and walking towards the door.

"Alright, Kurosaki, I'll help you get to my sister," Byakuya says slowly. "But, if you lay your hands on me one more time, I will make your life hell."

Ichigo nods at Byakuya. "Ok, lets go."
