3 & 6: Neliel & Grimmjow Part 5 (Epilogue)

EIGHT YEARS LATER

It's been eight years now since Grimmjow and Nel moved to the World of the Living, and in those eight years the little family had grown a little bigger. Nel had no trouble in her first pregnancy and delivered a healthy baby boy and gave him the name of Takahiro but call him Hiro for short. Four years after the birth of their son, Nel and Grimmjow had their second child. A daughter they gave the name Yuki. Thanks to the help of Kisuke, Grimmjow and Nel were able to adjust to living in the World of the Living, which included enrolling Takahiro into human school.

One weekend morning, a day when Takahiro wasn't in school, Nel and Grimmjow were sleeping soundly in their bed. Their home was quiet, which was rare for the two noisy children they had. Grimmjow was slowly starting to wake up from the morning sun shining through the window. He looked over to see Nel sound asleep next to him with a smile on her face. Liking the peace and quiet that filled their home Grimmjow closed his eyes to go back to sleep.

Just as Grimmjow was slipping back into a peaceful sleep little footsteps could suddenly be heard running down the hall that lead to his and Nel's room. Their door flew open and Yuki came running inside, crying, with Hiro right behind her laughing.

"Mommy! Daddy! Make Hiro stop! He won't leave me alone!" Yuki cried as she crawled up into her parent's bed and kneed Grimmjow in a place where a guy doesn't want to be kneed.

Grimmjow right away shot up from where he was sleeping. Holding himself in pain from the blow he just received. Yuki quickly hid underneath the covers next to her mother. Trying to hide from her father, who sometimes finds her father a bit scary.

Nel slowly sat up in bed, cradling Yuki in her arms and wiped the tears from her youngest child's eyes. Grimmjow had grabbed Takahiro by the back of his shirt and pulled him into the air. His feet kicking as his father scolded him.

"What have we told you about bothering your sister. She's sensitive and you know that!" Grimmjow light growled.

"I was only playing with her. Yuki needs to toughen up a bit or she's going to be picked when she enters school." Takahiro said as he tried to wiggle out of his shirt to get out of the grip of his father's hold.

"If she gets picked on then it's your job as her older brother to protect her!" Grimmjow slowly put his son back down so his feet were able to touch the floor again. Patting Takahiro on the head, ruffling his son's dark blue hair. "Go get dress or you won't go see Kisuke like you wanted to." Grimmjow softened his tone when he spoke this time.

Takahiro rushes out of his parents room to go to his and get dressed so he can go visit Kisuke. Yuki was still curled up in Nel's lap with tears still staining her face. Nel was running her fingers through Yuki's green hair that matched her own.

"Yuki, you can't let what Hiro does bother you. He's just playing around even if it doesn't seem like it." Nel told Yuki in her usual motherly tone towards her youngest child.

"B-but... why does he have to be so mean about it?" Yuki sniffled.

"Well," Nel looked over towards Grimmjow. "I guess you could say he's a lot like your father. He doesn't know how to express his feelings that well to others." Nel lightly giggled when she saw how red Grimmjow's face was getting. Yuki couldn't help but lightly giggle as well.

"So, daddy and Hiro are like twins in a way? When it comes to showing their feelings." Yuki crawled out of Nel's lap and went over to her father with a happy smile. "Daddy, you're like Hiro!"

Grimmjow glared over at Nel for telling their daughter something so stupid, but at the same time was a little bit happy to see a smile on his youngest child's face. Grimmjow patted Yuki on the head before picking her up off the bed and placing her on the floor.

"Go get dressed or you're going to be late."

"Alright daddy!" Yuki ran off to her room to get dress just like her brother did not too long ago.

Grimmjow let out a heavy sigh as fell back down on the bed. Placing his arms over his eyes to block out the sun. The bed shifted, and he felt soft hair spread across his chest. He removed his arms from his eyes to see Nel's head laying on his chest.

"It took you a while, but I think you've warmed up and got the handle of being a father. Don't you think, Grimmjow?"

"Yeah, but you saying things like that is--" Grimmjow was interrupted by Nel pressing her lips against his. With her goofy smile Grimmjow just gave up on what he was about to say. This women really has tamed the once angry Espada.

Once the four were dressed and had eaten. The GrimmNel family made their way down the street to the Urahara Shop where, outside doing their annual chores, were Jinta and Ururu as well as Tessai who was basically standing over them, mostly Jinta to make sure they were doing their chores. Takahiro and Yukio went running as fast as they could to see who could get there first to great their favorite people. Takahiro was obviously beating his younger sister, but before he could reach Tessai first the front door to the Urahara Shop flew open and a black blur suddenly tackled Takahiro to the ground, allowing Yuki to win their little race.

"Mr. Tessai! Mr. Tessai!" Yuki jumped into Tessai's big arms with a smile. "How are you today Mr. Tessai?!"

"Yuki! You're looking happy today, and I'm doing well. Just keeping an eye on these slackers here." Tessai jokingly nudged is head towards Jinta and Ururu.

"Oh Mr. Tessai, they're not slackers." Yuki giggled and gave Tessai a big hug. Tessai returned Yuki's hug with one of his own.

"I guess you're right. But it also looks like you've won the race over here against Takahiro. With a little bit of help from a friend." Both Tessai and Yuki looked down at the grown to see a small figure sitting on top of Takahiro's chest. A girl with long black hair and fair skin. When she truned around and looked up at Tessai and Yuki the girls whole face could be seen. She had a black upper lip, and brown eyes with small slit-shaped pupils, similar to a cat's, and blue colored flower shaped hairpins pulling back her hair behind her ear on the right side. I bet you can guess whose child this is.

"Stupid girl! Get off me!" Takahiro yelled at the girl. Trying to push her off of him but each time he did he would push him back down into the dirt.

"Urara, get off of Takahiro." The voice of one who was long thought dead came from Urahara's Shop, Ulquiorra Schiffer standing next to him was Orihime, who was now pregnant with her's and Ulquiorra's second child.

Urara did what her father told her and ran up in between both her parents. She knew that as long as she was near them Takahiro wouldn't try anything. Takahiro growled at the girl he went to school with. Tessai put Yuki down and she ran over to Urara and gave her sister figure a hug.

Since Ulquiorra's unexpected return about the same time as Grimmjow and Nel coming to the World of the Living. Most of Ulquiorra's memories of the time when he was an Espada are lost to him, but the small bits and pieces he does remember he tries to leave behind him.

Grimmjow, Nel, Yuki, Takahiro, Ulquiorra, Orhime, Urara, Tessai, Jinta and Ururu made their way into the Urahara Shop where inside was Kisuke, Ichigo, the Soul Reaper Rukia and their two children, a son and a daughter were waiting. All then children went to the back yard with Jinta and Ururu while the parents stayed inside and talked. A few arguments broke out between Ulquiorra, Grimmjow and Ichigo, but with the girls right there next to them the arguments were quickly stopped before they could really get started. As time went by Uryu Ishida and Chad Yasutora also showed up at the Urahara Shop. It was a good feeling to have everyone together now that they were starting families of their own.

As the day was getting late and Orihime was getting tired, a result of her being so pregnant. So Ulquiorra took Orihime and Urara home and round the same time Ichigo's sister Karin came to get Ichigo, Rukia and the kids and bring them home for dinner. Soon after Uryu and Chad also left, leaving Nel, Grimmjow, Takahiro and Yuki the last ones at the Urahara Shop.

The time was now late, around the time of Eight O'clock. Ururu brought in a half asleep Yuki and gave her to Nel. Takahiro also came back inside with a tired look on his face. It was time for them to make their way home.

"Thank you for all your time Kisuke. It was nice to see everyone after such a long time." Nel thank Kisuke as she was about to leave with Grimmjow and her children.

"It's no problem at all. Having all of you here to visit is a real treat." Kisuke flamboyantly stated has he pulled out his white fan.

"And thank you, Ururu and Jinta for playing with Hiro and Yuki. I know they can be a handful sometimes. So, thank you both so much."

Ururu and Jinta both nodded with a light blush on their faces. Nel also thanked Tessai before she and Grimmjow made their way back home with their sleeping children clinging to them. The GrimmNel family silently made their way home. Only hearing the breathing of their children as they slept. Nel reached over and wrapped her fingers within Grimmjow's. With a small smile Grimmjow also wrapped his fingers within Nel's. What lies ahead for this family, only the future could tell, but there was one thing that was plainly clear. These two couldn't be happier.
