Rukia was impatient the entire ride home and Ichigo couldn't help but smirk.
After a little over a month being away, they were finally returning home.
Just like Kenpachi promised, they were not bothered by integrations about the Aizen case. Renji informed them that Kenpachi reported of just having some anonymous dumbass giving him secret clues on the bastard. There was also absolutely no mention of the code name 'Benihime' within the entire case.
"Do you think the kids would be happy?"
Ichigo raised an eyebrow. "Geez Rukia, you think our kids are going to hate you just because you've been missing for a few weeks?"
Rukia glared at him. "That's not what I meant, dumbass. I meant do you think they'll be happy about having a new sibling."
Ichigo couldn't stop a full-blown grin from appearing on his face.
Oh yeah. He was happy.
When Rukia told him the previous week that she was pregnant, he literally fainted in shock. They had to drag his ass back to the Kuchiki mansion where he woke up ecstatic. But thinking back to everything that's been going on the past few days, he dragged her to his hospital for a check up, stating that she's been under a lot of stress which wasn't good for the baby.
Rukia thought he was being overprotective again.
Ichigo was just being cautious.
When Byakuya heard the news that his sister was pregnant (again), he was literally after Ichigo's ass all throughout his mansion, screaming about having no decency. He already shamed Rukia's name by making her a mother before marriage, but it was just outrageous that the orange head just couldn't keep it in his pants until after they were officially married.
Still, none of that could stop the overexcitement Ichigo felt the moment he was told Rukia was pregnant again, all healthy and fine.
"Oh, yeah; they'll be ecstatic," he answered.
Rukia smiled back as they finally pulled up to the curb of their house. As soon as they open the car door the front door burst open and two small figures flew out.
"OKASAN!"
Rukia barely got out of the car in time when Takeshi and Mai slammed into her body, holding her tightly as if for dear life.
Rukia choked back her tears as she knelt down to hug her two children tightly. "Tadaima," she whispered.
Ichigo walked around the car and was about to join his growing family when suddenly—
"ICHIGOOOOOOOOO!"
"AWWWWWW!"
The young father suddenly landed in the bushes when the hyperactive grandfather came at him with a spinning air kick.
Isshin stood straight up with his hands on his hips and huffed, "You are getting rusty my son! How am I suppose to entrust my grandchildren and my lovely daughter-in-law to you if you cannot even stop me?"
"SHUT UP YOU BASTARD!" Ichigo yelled as he tackled his father onto the ground for a good old wrestling.
"Hoho, you gotta do better than—AUGH! Nice move son—ACK!"
Rukia, who pulled away from her children when Isshin suddenly appeared, couldn't help laughing at the scene before them. Now I'm home.
"Rukia-neesan!"
The said woman looked up as Yuzu came running out the door and wrapped her arms around her future sister-in-law.
"Okaeri nasai," the young woman cried.
Rukia returned the hug, comforting Yuzu. "Tadaima, Yuzu. Thanks for watching the kids for me while I was gone."
Everyone had gathered around the living room when Ichigo and Rukia made the big announcement.
"We're pregnant."
Three…two…one…
"KYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Action!
"CONGRATULATIONS!"
"I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU TWO!"
"ICHIGO, YOU DOG!"
"I'M GOING TO BE A GRANDFATHER!"
"You already are a grandfather, you dumbass," Ichigo kicked his father away from him.
But Isshin immediately got back up and crawled in front of Rukia. "Rukia-chan, please name this one after me!"
"NO!" Ichigo and Karin yelled at the same time.
The next second Isshin was slouched over at a corner, a depressing aura surrounding him.
Urahara smirked. "You should have asked them to name their daughter after Masaki instead. That would have been better."
"Kisuke, am I a bad father?" Isshin sniffed.
"You know I cannot lie to you my friend," Urahara sang, "You are a horrible father."
"Ha! Like you're any better!" Isshin suddenly yelled, pointing an accusing finger at his friend.
Urahara fanned himself. "On the contrary, Jinta listens to what I say very well."
"Only because you keep threatening to stop his allowance if he doesn't, you fool," Yoruichi wacked her husband behind the head.
Ichigo rolled his eyes. Seriously, were these two men even adults?
And that stupid shopkeeper acts like nothing happened a few days ago. As he wanted, Ichigo brought back the green jacket (which the old quickly put on as soon as he saw it) and asked Ichigo where he found it as if he just lost it. Ichigo was about to hit him but decided to stay still and not bring up that topic; maybe it would be best to just forget about the whole ordeal.
"Does this mean I'm going to have a little sister?" Mai asked.
"Or a little brother," Rukia smiled at her young daughter.
Mai's wide smile suddenly disappeared. "Eh? But I want a little sister."
"Why a sister, Mai-chan?" Yuzu asked.
"Because I want to play dress-up with her!" Mai pouted.
"Just be happy you're getting a younger sibling," Takeshi smirked.
But Mai's lower lips started to quiver. "But I want a sister!"
Rukia chuckled as she lifted her daughter onto her lap and held her close. "Don't worry so much; we can still dress up the baby with lots of Chappy suits when it's still young."
"NO!" Ichigo and Takeshi screamed at the same time. Ichigo groaned as he rubbed his face. "Rukia, please don't do that if it's a boy. I don't want him to grow up questioning his sexuality."
Rukia smirked. "Like that stopped me with Takeshi."
Suddenly the ten year olds face turned pale. "You're kidding me. You actually dressed me up in Chappy clothes?" When Rukia nodded, he immediately looked at Ichigo for confirmation. "Otousan?"
Ichigo groaned as he looked away. "Your mother is a she-devil; remember that," he sneered, remembering how she wouldn't let him touch her unless she was able to dress Takeshi in a rabbit suit and take pictures. Thankfully this son turned out okay, but who knows what might happen to his second son if something like that happened again.
But Takeshi was nowhere close to feeling good.
"Don't be so down, kid," Karin smirked as she patted her nephew's head, "Your mother even made your father dress up at one of their school festivals."
"KARIN!" Ichigo yelled, his face beet red.
Rukia laughed outloud at the memories. "I know I have some pictures of that day somewhere in our room—"
"RUKIA!" he yelled this time.
"I know where it is so I'll show it to you next time," Karin winked at Takeshi who started to laugh.
Ichigo groaned. It seemed like everyone in this family was set to make his life miserable.
"ICHIGOOOO!"
Especially him.
Isshin jumped on his son and started to shake him by the shoulders. "Tell that damn Kisuke how my training has made you into a man!"
"Why can't you just shut up and stay away from me?" Ichigo threw his father aside again.
From outside, anyone who was passing by and hearing the screams and breaking noises within the house would immediately think something serious was going on in the house.
But those who knew the Kurosaki family can tell you that it's actually a good day for them. Afterall, they've been too quiet for the past few weeks. So now that the noises were screeching through the neighborhood again, anyone could guess that things were finally getting back to normal again at everyone's favorite local doctor's home.
A/N:... what can I say?
