Author's note: This chapter is dedicated to Garret-Is-Mine for accidentally giving me an inspiration! I still don't own Bleach, but I guess that's OK…for now.

AROUND TWENTY YEARS LATER ON FEBRUARY

"IT'S COMING!" Rukia shrieked in the Kurosaki clinic as her and Ichigo's tenth child was on his way.

"I'm getting too old for this," Ichigo mumbled shaking his head.

"It's gonna be a girl," said Pineapple, their second to oldest son declared.

"No it's not you stupid pineapple!" Grapefruit, the fourth of their beautiful children, snapped, her voice high pitched with anticipation.

"Yeah!" Mango chimed in, agreeing with his older sister. "It's gonna be a boy!"

"I think it's going to be a hermaphrodite," Rukia Junior said pushing up her glasses. She was the oldest and—much to Ichigo's irritation—had a tendency to act like Ishida, nerdy and stuff. She even sewed like the damn Quincy!

"What's a hermafrite?" asked Chappy, the youngest of the children.

"I think my teacher was talking about hermaphrodites," Apple put in.

"Renji already told me all about them," Cabbage said smugly.

"Maybe Renji shouldn't be babysitting," Ichigo muttered.

"He said hermaphrodites—" Banana began but Ichigo covered her mouth quickly.

"Nothing, nothing," Ichigo said hurriedly with a sharp glance at Rukia Junior. He didn't want his youngest daughter's innocent mind ruined before it had to be.

"I think Ishida-san is a better baby sitting," Rukia Junior stated.

Ichigo scowled.

"Would you father have him as a father than me?" he demanded.

"Maybe," Rukia Jr. said dryly. "he's not so much of a wild brute."

Ichigo's scowl became more pronounced.

"I will have you know that I am a much better father than that pansy!" he said defiantly.

"Shut up old man," Cabbage said dismissively.

"Yeah, shut up old man," Chappy put in, imitating his brother.

Ichigo's jaw dropped. Why were his children ganging up on him?!

Wait a second…they called him old man.

"I'm not old!" Ichigo yelled.

"IT'S HERE!!" Rukia screamed, reminded everyone there was a baby on the way. Pineapple, Grapefruit, Kiwi, Apple, Mango, Cabbage, Banana, Chappy and Rukia Junior all fell silent and watched the "miracle" of their tenth child.

Yuzu and Ichigo frantically rushed to Rukia's side and worked her though it all.

"I already have nine babies!" the woman snarled. "I don't need lessons on how to have another."

Ichigo shook his head and remembered the Valentines day he and Rukia confessed their feelings for each other. So beautiful. Love was a joy and nothing would ever make Ichigo regret—

"Never again are you getting me knocked up Kurosaki Ichigo!" Rukia growled and Ichigo was ripped out of his thoughts.

"He's almost here, Nee-chan," Yuzu cried. Rukia let out one last sound and Ichigo shut his eyes. He knew from experience that newborn babies ruined the moment for the rest of their babyhood. They were just so…not cute. Of course, then they get cleaned off, grow some hair and the resemblance to a deformed naked mole rat disappears. A baby's cry echoed through the clinic and everyone in the room sighed.

"Ichigo…look," Rukia said sounding amazed.

"We've had ten kids Rukia," Ichigo said. "I would think that the tenth one would look the same."

All the same, Ichigo looked and saw that this baby boy was a replica of Ichigo, just a lot cuter and smaller. The odd thing was that all of the children had been born with black hair.

"I told you it was gonna be a boy," Pineapple said smugly.

"Shuddap!" Cabbage snapped and punched his brother in the face. Obviously, being baby sat by Renji hadn't been the smartest of ideas.

"He looks like me," Ichigo whispered.

"Only a lot cuter," Isshin noted, coming into the clinic.

"Shouldn't you be in bed?" Ichigo snapped. He wasn't adorable anymore…?

"I know what to name him," Rukia sighed happily.

"What?" everyone chorused.

"Strawberry Junior," Rukia said and Ichigo scowled.

"You gotta be kidding me."

It's short, but hey man, I've never done a birth scene. Ten little Rukia's and Ichigo's. Poor Rukia. Poor Ichigo. Now, forgetting Ichigo and Rukia…anybody feel like reviewing? I'll give you a free baby (puppy included), although that's more of an incentive not to review…. Maybe I won't give you a baby. I'll give you just the puppy instead. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY PEOPLE!!
