hello kitty berries, how are you all. well you all seemed to like the idea of me writing small snippets for the family life for Grimmjow, Ichigo and Zaden, so every once in a while ill post a snippet for you all. They will be in a random order so in some of them Zaden may be older and some of them he may be a child still, This one is Zaden's first fight while Ichigo has been living with them, i apologise for Ichigo's clingyness...but im glad that you liked the first one , so with out further ado, on with the story.

Warnings: Language, Spelling and Grammar, Fluff, Angst, Occness, other things ive probably forgot as always.

Disclaimer: I own nothing the characters of BLEACH belong to the creators, but Zaden belongs to me.

Rain pattered against the window, waking the slumbering man from his sleep. The man opened his eyes and the pain instantly hit him, the ache in his chest, hip and shoulder made themselves known as brown eyes opened slowly. The brown eyed man wondered why his scars were aching and he realised that through the night he had managed to push the quilt down to his hips and the cold air had settled across his chest causing the scars to ache. With a grunt he grabbed the quilt and pulled it up to his neck and moved closer to the other body in the bed with him, he let his chest rest against the warm skin and let out a content sigh as his chest began to warm up. Closing his eyes, he snuggled back into his pillow and slept for another few hours.

The next time Ichigo's eyes opened it was to the sound of small feet walking down the hall to their bedroom, Ichigo kept his eyes closed but let a smile come over his lips as he heard their door open and click closed. He felt the bed dip as the small human living with them climbed onto the bed and wormed his way between the sleeping and awake men. When the younger boy was settled Ichigo pulled him closer making the smaller jump.

"You alright Zay" Ichigo asked

"Cold" Was all Zaden said and snuggled closer to Ichigo.

Ichigo held Zaden tighter to him and held in a yelp when he felt Zaden's toes touch his legs where his pj pants had rolled up during the night. The two older men had made sure that they put something on their bottom halves before they went to bed because Zaden would get in with them more often than not. Ichigo stayed awake while his two boys slept and a hour after the younger came in Grimmjow woke up and rolled over squishing Zaden to him. Grimmjow locked eyes with Ichigo and grinned,

"Mornin handsome"

"Hmmm morning" Ichigo replied grinning.

"Time is it" Grimmjow asked.

Ichigo looked over his shoulder at the clock and saw that it was half seven, " Half seven, we need to start getting ready for school soon"

Grimmjow nodded and pulled himself from the bed and walked to the bathroom. The bigger man came out ten minutes later in just a towel and Ichigo ran his eyes over the others body, the bigger man looked at him and Ichigo looked away, his cheeks flushing as he had been caught staring. When he was finished dressing, Grimmjow walked down the stairs and not soon after the smell of coffee and bacon could be smelt through out the room.

Twenty minutes later, Ichigo and a very sleepy Zaden entered the kitchen, the smaller human walked to the table and sat down and poured his cereal, while Ichigo got his coffee and pressed a kiss to Grimmjow's cheek. They all sat and ate their breakfasts and at 8:45 they left the house. Zaden walked between them, holding each of his father's hands as he talked endlessly about the Marvel universe, the kid loved every superhero. Ichigo loved hearing Zaden talk about the things he was passionate about, after the events that had occurred at The Tower, Zaden had become very closed off but clingy, he would freak out if one of them didn't come back after a long while, after many therapy sessions that are still on going, it was nice to see him acting normal, like the nine year old he should be. When they got to the gates, each adult took it in turns to hug their son and hold him close before watching him run towards his friends.

Ichigo held onto Grimmjow's hand tight as they walked home, his hip was aching so bad it had caused him to have a noticeable limp, Ichigo knew that it was his own fault for not taking his pain killers this morning but he like to go days without taking them. When they got home, Grimmjow instantly made a hot water bottle for his lover and handed it to him and Ichigo smiled at him. Weaving his fingers through the teal blue locks, Ichigo kissed the bigger man softly on the lips, pouring all his love and devotion into the kiss, pulling back he said,

"Thankyou"

Grimmjow just pressed a light kiss to his lips before turning him around and pushing him softly towards the sofa, "Sit, ill make coffee and we will spend the morning watchin crap tv"

Grinning, Ichigo did as he was told and limped over to the sofa, sitting in his favourite corner and pressed the hotwaterbottle to his hip and sighed. They did just as Grimmjow said; they did this until about one o'clock when they got a phone call from Zaden's school asking them to come in.

When they got to the school they were both out of breath as they slammed through the entrance to the school, frightening the sectary half to death. The woman showed them to the principles office and let them in. Ichigo instantly ran over to Zaden who held a cloth full of ice to his eye and tissue to his lip and a glare on his face. Ichigo sat next to his son and gently pulled the ice bags away and said,

"What Happened?"

Someone cleared their throat and Ichigo looked towards the other in the room, Mr Ichimaru, who must be the head teacher instantly gave him the creeps. Ignoring the head teacher he looked back towards his son.

Grimmjow looked from his son to the head teacher and to the other boy in the room, with a glare Grimmjow said,

"What happened to my son's face?"

"Mr Jaegerjaquez, it seems that your son and Mr Hanakari have had a bit of a scuffle"

"Tch a bit of a scuffle have you seen my son's face, where are the brats parents"

"They are on their was as we speak"

With a grunt Grimmjow walked over to the men in his live and crouched down in front of them, moving the ice from his son's lip he said,

"You alright little blue"

Zaden nodded, tears pricking to his eyes at the nickname. Grimmjow saw tears build in his son's eyes and pressed a kiss to his forehead and stood, walking to Ichigo's side he lent against the wall and looked at the other kid. The red headed kid looked to be about two years older than Zaden, the kids red hair is slicked back against his scull and he seems to be taller then Zaden. It seems like hours before the kid's parents, well parent turns up. Grimmjow glares at the man as he walks through the door; his dark hair is slick back to his head, standing out against his fair skin.

"Mr Kugo, thankyou for coming"

Kugo walks over to his son and nudges his head up, surveying the damage on his kids face, when he's done he whorls around and points a finger towards Zaden,

"You messed up my son's face you little shit"

Simultaneously, Ichigo stands and Grimmjow pushes off the wall and the both step towards the man,

"You betta take a step back before I put you back" Grimmjow growls out

The other man does as he is told and turns towards the head teacher and says," Whats being done about this"

"It seems Mr Kugo that Jinta was the one to start the fight this time" The head teacher replies

"That's not possible"

"There are countless eye witnesses that said Jinta provoked Zaden into attacking him"

Grimmjow smirked a little proud of his son for laying the little brat on is arse, turning to Ichigo he could see that the other man was high strung and wanted the wring Kugo's neck but was holding off.

"Zaden, tell us what happened" Ichigo said softly, sitting down and pulling his son into his side.

"He called you weak" Zaden mumbled, "said he read what happened on the internet, said that you were a good for nothin, he called you names. I told 'im to stop but he wouldn't, he kept pushin an I snapped, M'sorry"

Tears had started to run down the younger's cheeks and Ichigo held him tighter, mindful of his injuries,

"Hey, shh, there's nothing wrong with defending your family" Ichigo said into the blue hair, his eyes on Grimmjow.

Kugo looked at his son appalled, turning back to Grimmjow he said, "Mr Jaegerjaquez I am truly sorry about my son, he doesn't know when to stop. I apologise for any discomfort he has caused your son and I promise you that he will be dealt with accordingly."

Grimmjow just nodded and walked towards his son and held out his arms, " Come on Little blue"

Zaden slumped forward into his father's arms and Grimmjow lifted him effortlessly, Ichigo stood and wrapped one arm around Grimmjow's waist and rested the other on Zaden's back. Grimmjow told the head teacher that they were taking Zaden home and he would be taking the week off. With another glare to the other child in the room the family left.

When they got home, Ichigo ran Zaden a bath and let the younger soak while they talked.

"I want to go back their and wring that child's neck" Ichigo growled.

"I know, believe me I do, but it's done and Zaden is fine" Grimmjow said softly

Ichigo rested his head on Grimmjow's chest while the bigger man ran his hands up and down his back,

"Do you think Jinta's the one who gave him the black eye when I was in hospital?"

"Possibly, but I dunno. Im proud of Zaden though"

"Me too"

They stayed like this until Zaden came down in his Iron man onesie and teddy clutched to his chest, Ichigo broke away from Grimmjow and walked over to their son and lead him to the sofa where he pulled the smaller male close to him and held him tight, the smaller male held his papa as tight as he could and they both fell asleep. Grimmjow watched them as they drifted off holding each other tight, he grabbed the throw blanket and threw it over his slumbering boys and he sat in the lone chair across next to them and watched the TV as they slumbered.

When it eventually became time for bed, they were all exhausted, even Ichigo and Zaden who had slept for two hours during the afternoon. When they had woken they had spent the rest of the day eating junk food and playing on the gaming consoles to take their mind off what happened. And when they eventually called it a night, Grimmjow didn't say anything when he saw Ichigo watching Zaden sleep for a hour and a half after they had tucked him in for the night, and he didn't say anything when he woke up at four in the morning to find Zaden sandwiched between them with his fist clenched into Grimmjow's shirt, he just pulled his family closer to him and the boy between them let out a content sigh, Grimmjow let his eyes wander over his son's sleeping face, taking in the split lip and darkening skin around his eye and he closed his own, knowing that his son was safe sandwiched between the two people that love him unconditionally, he fell asleep.
