A/N Hey new story kind of. I wanted to continue Parents life be like I did. I even changed the title. I'm just going to reboot it so to speak. Same premise for the most part just a bit different. Umm I am starting a new story since I'm about to finish We live in different worlds. At least I think I am. Well anyways even if I'm not I'm going to make this my new story project plus if it does good I can delete the other parent story since I literally cringe when I read it. I was really young when I made some of these lol. I think I've gotten slightly better at writing stories, probably it's just in my head. Welp hope you guys enjoy this story.

Chapter 1: Ichigo

It was a beautiful morning, the birds were chirping, the sun was shining on whoever was in its immaculate beam. All in all you couldn't hope for a better morning to start your day. It was exactly seven in the morning when an orange haired man was woken by his alarm clock. He yawned and scratched his head trying to wake himself up. He stretched and decided to go wake his kids for them to get ready for school. Ichigo Kurosaki was forty-two years old. He was a doctor and he made good money to provide for his kids and himself. He was divorced from his long time wife Senna. She cheated on him with many guys. He didn't know how many to be exact but he knew it was in the two digits. Of course they went to court for custody of the kids which he was granted. She of course was furious but he couldn't bring himself to care she's the one that cheated not him. His kids were devastated why wouldn't they be but they were happy to be with their dad on a regular basis then their mother.

While together Senna and him wanted to have a big family they started at the ripe age of twenty but unfortunately luck was not on their side. So they started adopting which they loved. They were helping kids that needed a family and they were growing their family as well. As they adopted eventually Senna got pregnant and that's when they decided it was time to stop adopting. Ichigo sometimes thought if they would have had more kids in the future but that was a distant dream now. He was single and it took a toll on him. When he did have Senna they were like a well oiled machine. The kids were always taken care of and they had both their mother and father. Single life wasn't bad but he didn't want to spend his life alone forever.

The only time he got even a little break was when Senna came to pick up the kids every other weekend so they could spend it with her. When he was alone all he would do was sleep, clean, and work. He occasionally hung out with his friends but he usually just spent time to himself. He was always so exhausted he didn't have time to go out and do much mingling anyways.

Ichigo got up to wake his kids starting with the oldest one. Kenichi was fifteen and even though he wasn't Ichigo's biological son he might as well have been personality wise at least. Kenichi had long black hair that he wore in a low ponytail. He was tall for his age and buff he was a lady killer. He had icy blue eyes that the girls just swoon over for some weird reason. He had a girl over almost every other day. Ichigo wasn't complaining that his son was enjoying life so to speak. Kenichi wasn't the brightest kid; he made very low grades and it frustrated Ichigo when he had to remind him of his tests and exams. Kenichi was also aggressive; he was a football player so that came with the territory. Kenichi loved his dad. Ichigo and Senna adopted him when he was a mere infant. He was left in a dumpster freezing and crying. Ichigo was doing a night shift and was on break and decided to go for a stroll when he found Kenichi. The rest was history. Kenichi was his son the moment he found him.

Ichigo knocked on his door. He wasn't surprised when he got no answer. He opened the door and saw his son sprawled out on his queen size bed. He was drooling and snoring loudly. His hair was hiding his face and he was twitching every second. Ichigo looked at his room and sighed. Another thing about Kenichi was that he was extremely messy. Ichigo looked at the half empty pizza boxes and soda cans all on the floor. He also saw clothes thrown every which way around his room. He rolled his eyes and went to wake him. Kenichi jumped in fear and started looking around frantically. He relaxed when he saw his dad.

"School today, get ready. Cereal and milk for breakfast, unfortunately I didn't have time to make anything this morning."

Kenichi groaned, "Dad give me like ten more minutes."

Ichigo frowned, "Kenichi I'm about to go wake up your siblings if you aren't up by then I'm bringing the ice bucket."

Ichigo left with that. He noticed before leaving the room Kenichi was slowly getting out of the bed. Ichigo chuckled; he hated the ice bucket. Ichigo closed the door and made his way down to the next child.

Nana was thirteen and like Kenichi she was adopted. She had pure white hair, pale skin, and black eyes. She was short for her age but she didn't care. She was quiet; she barely talked outside of the family. She hated interacting with others and she kept to herself. She was smart unlike Kenichi and she tended to have to help Kenichi with homework. Ichigo found Nana when she was also an infant. She loved hearing the story of how Ichigo found her. She was left at the hospital where he was working. The mother just up and left. They were going to call child protective services but Ichigo decided to take her in. She's been his little girl ever since. Nana loved her father and every time he told her the story of how she was adopted she loved Ichigo even more. Nana was skinny despite being able to eat a whole pizza to herself. She was also a gamer girl. Kenichi may have had a Xbox and Playstation console in his room but Nana had the whole shabang. She had a PC, Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, GameCube she had it all. She loved video games. They were there for her when she needed to relax or vent. Ichigo knocked on her door and once again no answer. He peeked in before actually going in just to make sure she was decent. He looked and saw her sleeping peacefully in her game chair. He chuckled; she was alway gaming and she rarely even went out. Ichigo tapped her gently to wake her up. She stirred and looked tiredly and saw her dad. She yawned and stretched, wiping her face of drool.

"Nana sweetie you need to get ready for school. Cereal for breakfast this morning as well."

Nana yawned again and nodded as she wiped the sleep out of her eyes. Ichigo gave a small smile. She alway listened to Ichigo with no complaining once so ever. Ichigo shut her door ever so slowly so as not to risk slamming it. He stretched his body and started walking to the next room. As usual he knocked on the door and much to his surprise he got an answer. He walked in and saw his twin girls getting ready for school.

Sen and Sia were eleven years old and they were twins. They both had silvery hair and purple violet eyes. They were tall for eleven year olds and were tan from being outside so were both enthusiastic, bubbly, and always happy. People always get them confused with each other, even Senna had a hard time figuring out who was who. Ichigo on the other hand always knew the difference between them. They were adopted and of course they were given to Ichigo at an orphanage. Ichigo was out looking for flowers that day for Senna for their anniversary. He saw the guy who was head of the orphanage trying to get rid of them. They were little infant children. Even as infants they smiled and were always bubbly. Ichigo couldn't leave them so he adopted them and reported the orphanage for their horrible treatment of the kids. Sen and Sia were always the cheerful sisters; they were so cheerful that they were on the cheerleading team. The twins were obsessed with their father. They loved Senna but they always felt more bonded with their dad. Ichigo smiled happily that the twins were getting ready.

"Morning Daddy. What's for breakfast this morning?" Sia asked.

Ichigo sighed, "Sia I woke up a little late this morning. It's cereal and milk for breakfast. I'm sorry honey."

Sen smiled, "Oh dad you're fine Sia will eat anything."

Sia pouted, "Not true Sen ugh you're so mean."

"Girls focus on getting dressed please and make sure you don't spend too much time getting dressed again." Ichigo stated.

They both scoffed, "Dad you can't rush perfection." They spoke in sync.

Ichigo rolled his eyes and left them to get ready. They were his drama queens for sure. They were smart but they cared way too much about appearance. Ichigo sighed as he made his way down the hall. Room number four. As usual he knocked on the door and like the other two no answer. Ichigo walked in and saw his boys sleeping in their respectful bunk beds. Unlike the twins that slept in two separate full size beds his sons slept in bunk beds.

His son Kuro was ten and he had spiky black hair and olive skin like Kenichi. He played soccer so of course he would have a tan. Kuro was adopted as an infant. Same case as Nana Kuro was left at the hospital so Ichigo was the first person the hospital notified. Kuro was also like Ichigo. He always got picked on for having a birthmark on his face. The birthmark was a patch of white on his left eye. Kuro had no problem with it; he thought it looked cool. Others on the other hand bullied him and picked on him relentlessly so he's had his fair share of fights. Kuro had his group of friends that actually stuck up for him which Ichigo was grateful for.

His son Kia was eight and he was a special case which is why he and Kuro shared the same room. Kia was a short stubby child who had brunette hair and honey eyes. He was very introverted. If you weren't family he would not talk to you. Kia was adopted under special circumstances. While Ichigo and Senna were taking the kids to the park, Kuro decided to go for a walk on the trail. There he saw a one year old Kia. He was all dirty and battered up and crying. Ichigo and Senna tried to find his parents but they were told Kia was abandoned. Ichigo and Senna decided to adopt him. Kia loved his new family but he always had a certain attachment to Kuro. It was probably because Kuro was the first to find him. Because of that Kuro and Kia shared the same room which didn't bother either one of them.

Ichigo saw that their room was a mess just like their brother's always so messy. Ichigo walked up to Kuro and started to gently shake him awake. Kuro groaned but eventually woke up and yawned. He already knew the drill and started stretching. Ichigo looked up and started to poke Kia's chubby cheeks. He swatted Ichigo's hand away instinctually. Ichigo always laughed at his son's annoyance when he was being woken up. Kia looked at his dad and whined knowing it was time to get up. Ichigo smiled and left telling them breakfast was cereal.

Ichigo took a deep breath as he walked to the last room. He was so happy he was on the final room he damn near jumped for joy. Ichigo knocked on the door when he heard nothing he entered. Last child was his daughter Mia. She was his biological daughter. She had his orange hair and peach tan skin but her mothers golden eyes. She was six years old and was very caring. Ichigo was obsessed with her the moment she was born. Mia loved everyone she met and she was never mean or uninviting to meeting new people. Mia always wanted to be with her siblings; she loved spending time with them and her father. Ichigo saw she was sleeping in her twin bed. Ichigo gently tapped on her, waking her up. She smiled happily and hugged Ichigo.

"Good morning Daddy."

Ichigo smiled, "Good morning princess. It's school time so I need you to be ready for school. Cereal today for breakfast."

Mia nodded, "Okay Daddy I'll get dressed as soon as you shut the door."

Ichigo laughed, "Sure you will."

Ichigo shut the door and stretched having seven kids was a lot for one parent. He didn't regret having them or anything of the sort; it was just hard doing it all by himself. He supported them and provided for them. Hell he had a seven bedroom three story house just for them. He just wished he had someone to share it with. Ichigo got dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a black shirt. It was Friday and he was a prn doctor so he made his own shift. He always worked on weekends night shift when the kids were gone. He made more money at night anyways. He went to the kitchen and saw his kids all eating their favorite cereals. All dressed in various clothing. Ichigo made himself some toast and sat down with his kids.

"Guys you know today is the day Senna comes and picks you up right?" Ichigo asked.

Kenichi sighed, "Do we have to go? I hate going to her place. She has a different guy over like every week."

"And she doesn't let us play video games or anything, she's always in our business." Nana added.

Sen and Sia nodded in unison, "Also we can never just hangout by ourselves she's always there being nosey."

Ichigo snorted, "Well guys she's your mom she has a right to want to know what you guys are up to. She barely gets to see you."

Kenichi scowled, "Didn't she make her choice when she cheated on you?"

"Kenichi, she's still your mom, what she did to me has nothing to do with the love she has for you kids." Ichigo stated.

Kenichi and Nana rolled their eyes but said nothing. Once they were done with breakfast they all cleaned up, grabbed their backpacks and all headed to Ichigo's SUV. Ichigo got in the front and Kenichi called shotgun. Everyone else piled in and buckled up. Ichigo sped through traffic getting his kids to school in record time. They all went to the same school. Kurakura elementary, middle, and high school were all connected. Ichigo said his goodbyes and his kids said theirs. Ichigo watched as they all went to their respective buildings and smiled as he started driving. He decided to go grocery shopping since he had time to stock up before he picked up a shift. While driving he got a call from one of his longtime friends. He answered and put him on speaker.

'Hey Ichigo, we're all getting together tonight to get some drinks and want you to join us.'

Ichigo sighed, "Renji I don't know."

'Ichigo the kids are going to be with Senna and you've been exhausting yourself picking up all these unneeded shifts. Come on dude lets hangout.'

Ichigo thought about it and rolled his eyes, "Fine whatever I'll see you at the bar."

Renji started screaming, causing Ichigo to hang up quickly. Ichigo continued with his plan and drove to the grocery store to pick up groceries. He got home, put the groceries up, cleaned up all the rooms and relaxed in the living room. He decided to watch a movie and take a quick nap. The nap was much needed. Around six he started getting ready to head to the bar. He kept the same clothes on. No way was he going to look for another outfit. He got to the bar and prepared himself for a night of drinking and catching up. He laughed to himself knowing it was going to be a long night.
