Ever since he learned the news about you being pregnant he couldn't be any happier! Boy or girl, didn't matter to him as he would do anything to take care of his wife. His father warned the things when it came to pregnant woman. At first he just brushed them off, but now he was getting tired of it.

He would need to buy more food for you since you ate like a pig ever since you gotten to five months in. You were only three more months to deliver from now as Ichigo was excited, but also scared at the same time.

After the final hollow he took down he returned back home, but didn't realize it was around midnight when he got back. When he opened up the window to his room you were asleep on his bed. Your belly was swollen and big all around.

Snuggling or sleeping with you was kind of hard since you kicked in your sleep often ever since you became pregnant. He tuck his body in and snuggled close to you, having his hand awkwardly on your stomach.

Suddenly, a tiny kick came from your stomach. His heart raced for just a beat of a second as he made his hand still, waiting for another kick. A big one came as it made him smile, but you winced in pain and woke up.

"Oww..." You groaned sleepily.

Ichigo rose his head to face you. "Are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah... the baby kicked really hard."

"Sorry that must have been my fault."

"I-It's fine..." You smiled and gently rubbed your big tummy. "Only three more months... I'm kinda scared... what happened if I don't make it?"

"Stop it." Ichigo grabbed your chin as gently as he could to have you look him in the eyes. "You'll make it. Don't ever say something like that again."

"O-Okay... I'm just worried. What if I'm not the greatest mom in the world? If are child can see ghosts will he or she be safe?"

Ichigo sighed, not ever thinking that through. "Well if they do I promise to teach them why can. Just make sure to stay safe of hollows and everything."

Your stomach rumbled a bit. "Can I get something to eat?"

"Yeah sure."

He went downstairs and opened up the fridge. He forgot to shop for food tonight... but he made to make sure you did think he shopped for food. Your anger as a pregnant woman scared him... in the back he saw some strawberries and grabbed them.

They were still fresh too so a bonus for him. He went back upstairs to find you staring outside the window, crying a bit as your cheeks were stained with tears. Ichigo rushed over and touched your cheeks.

"What's wrong?"

"T-The stars a-are so pretty tonight... t-they just... m-make me cry!"

He groaned on the inside, your crying fests were the worst. "Don't cry! I have some strawberries for you!"

Your face lit up with joy as you took the strawberries from his hands. "Yay! You're forgiven!"

He blinked, confused. "What do you mean?"

"I know you didn't shop for food tonight, Kurosaki. But you passed the test and managed to get me strawberries."

He narrowed his eyes. "Wait, you're telling me you were testing me?"

"Well I have to make sure your dad ready for the baby. You gave the baby and me strawberries, so you passed the test."

He shook his head and climbed into bed with you. "You're a handful sometimes... (y/l)."

You smiled and nudged his shoulder. "You mean (y/n) Kurosaki soon."

A smile spread across his face. "After went the baby is born you'll both have my last name."

"I can't wait, because I love you both."

Ichigo smiled the rest of the night as he rubbed your tummy, glad to have you and a new life born soon.
