Chapter 6: Vacation? Really? Vacation?!

(Orihime's P.O.V)

After Grimmjow's comment three weeks ago about needing a vacation, the kids' and I decided that is exactly what he deserves. I have everything planned out. The kids have two weeks left till school starts, so this will be a family vacation. I've thought of the perfect way to tell him. I know he takes his responsibility to Karakura seriously but I take my care of him and my family just as seriously. It's high time we had a break. So now I wait for him to come to bed.

(Grimmjow's P.O.V)

I know something is up because the kids are acting secretive. I have no idea what is going on but if they are not burning down the house or purposefully chasing down hollows I'm not too worried about it. Since the kids returned from Soul Society and me from Hueco Mundo I swear I've been working non-stop. It's like the hollows think Karakura is the only place to let loose. I swear Kurosaki doesn't even want to do his duty even part time anymore. Yeah, yeah I know this is what I signed up for but that doesn't mean I didn't want a small break. I've been doing this nonstop since even before my kids. Anyways here I am, in my moment of peace and quiet. The kids are all upstairs in bed so I'm watching TV to let my mind rest. Damn, I can barely keep my eyes open. What I wouldn't give for a vacation, even a small one.

(Third P.O.V)

Grimmjow got up and flicked the TV off. As he entered his and Orihime's bedroom he found her brushing her hair out at her vanity. Grinning he moved into the room and sat behind her. He took the brush from her hand and took over brushing her luxurious orange hair.

Leaning forward he whispered, "What are you thinking about babe?"

Orihime sighed with a small smile on her face as she answered, "A vacation."

Grimmjow smirked slightly and nodded in understanding, "I was thinking the same thing, but what about the kids?"

Orihime's laughter makes him smile widely; he's always loved that sound. She replied, "We would take them with us Grimmjow. It would be a family vacation. You. Me. The kids. That's a family vacation."

Grimmjow laughed, "Okay, Mrs. Smarty Pants, what about my job? I can't just up and leave."

His wife turned to face him and took the brush from his hand to place it back on the vanity before taking his hand to lead him to stand by their bed.

As she removed his shirt she said, "Simple, you talk to Soul Society and request they station a substitute here for two weeks." Kissing his shoulder she moved her hands to his belt buckle and he smirked down at her.

Undoing the clasp she continued speaking, "Next talk to Ichigo and tell him he's been slacking ever since he came back from college. Sure, the first couple years he didn't, but that was just to annoy you. Now his lack of help is becoming an issue." By now his pants were on the ground and her touches were having a marked effect on her husband's body but he let out a hearty laugh at her last statement.

"Babe, I could ask Soul Society and they MAY allow it, but sweetheart telling Kurosaki that he has been slacking on his duties wouldn't go over very well and you told me not to fight with him. So I guess we're stuck."

Giggling at his pet names for her she removed his boxers and had him lay down on his stomach. He smiled as he felt her climb on top of him, straddling his lower back to massage his upper back.

When he groaned as she found a particularly sore spot she said, "Well I'm sorry you feel that way. I guess I shouldn't have put in for two weeks off at work last week."

She felt him tense up but kept working his muscles making him relax again before continuing, "And I guess I shouldn't have gone to Urahara so I could get to Soul Society and demand an audience with the head captain, which I got by the way."

Now he was really surprised and turned, though she stayed on top of him while he rotated. His eyes were wide as he listened to her next words, "I'd really hate to think I wasted my breath when I gave him an ultimatum. Either he provided a substitute for two weeks to come to Karakura in thanks for all you have done over the last 12 years and beyond, including the Quincy war, or I would not allow you to continue your duties in Karakura and he could deal with me."

By now Grimmjow's head was spinning but she wasn't done yet, "He had no ground to stand on. He knew you've done more for Soul Society and this town in the last 12 years, better even than Ichigo could have done. Within ten minutes a captain and lieutenant's meeting was called. You should have heard them pleading your case Grimmjow. Even Byayukua, or Mr. Stick in the Ass as you dubbed him, contributed." Here she did her best impression of the stoic captain, "You tell Kurosaki Ichigo we will not send a substitute because he already is the substitute for Karakura. If he has an issue with it he can speak to either myself or Captain Zaraki. Both options, I am sure, he will avoid as you humans say "like the plague."

Propping himself up Grimmjow chuckled and asked, "So what was Kurosaki's reaction?"

Orihime grinned devilishly as she took off her shirt, "Well, when I got back I went right to him and delivered the captain's message, but not without adding some details of my own. I told him point blank he had been slacking off the last 12 years hiding behind bullshit excuses about working for his father. I told him he needs to let go of this asinine grudge he holds against you and actually get off his ass to help you."

Grimmjow couldn't believe what he was hearing but his smile got larger as she continue, "I told him your wife and kids rarely get to see you or spend time with you because ever y time there is a hollow you have to leave. That because I work and the kids go to school we have less and less time to spend together as a family and I was sick of it. I told him to get the fuck over himself, stop bitching about the responsibility he took on when he agreed to be the substitute in this town in the first place and get up off his ass to help. I may have almost mentioned he should make sure to find himself a wife as I was never going to leave you so he might as well forget about it. Needless to say he was dumbfounded so I closed his jaw and walked away."

By now Grimmjow was laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes, "I cannot believe those harsh words came out of your beautiful mouth! I'm surprised he didn't faint from shock."

She blushed as she realized the truth of his words which only made him laugh harder that she was just now embarrassed at the language she had used.

The next moment he'd flipped her over onto the bed and hovering over her, "So wife, does that mean we can go out of town with no issues?"

When she'd grinned and nodded he started removing the rest of her clothes.

"Yes most definitely. Urahara said he'd give us an express trip since you can't get out of your gigai to walk around with us and I know you won't want to haul it around."

Grimmjow nodded and smiled as the last of her clothing hit the floor, "That's my woman always thinking but who knew she could be so devious and vindictive? I never thought I'd hear that you cursed like I do but I'd be lying if I didn't say it kind of turned me on. To think, my wife turned out to be an angel with a little devil mixed in, especially in bed!"

Orihime looked shocked as she exclaimed, "Grimmjow!"

Any further words were silenced by Grimmjow kissing her deeply which led to them enjoying each other's company wrapped in passion until the early hours of the morning.

-Next Morning-

The next day Orihime had gotten the kids up early, their bags already packed, and though they were all yawning they were excited to go.

Grimmjow had been up and ready before everybody else and hurried the kids along to pack up the van. When he noticed his wife lagging a bit he picked her up and smirked, "Time to go sweetness. Urahara said we can take the van through the Senkaimon right? So let's hurry up, I want this vacation to start."

Orihime laughed because Grimmjow was acting as hyper as the kids.

Upon arrival to the shop they saw a very sleepy Urahara waiting for them. His reply to Grimmjow's question of whether everything was set was a nod and a wave as the door opened. Driving through the landed in their destination. Before them they saw no one around, just a beautiful beach and a good sized beach house.

"Hime, where are we?"

Orihime smiled "Okinawa. We have a place right on the beach. I mean there are other things to do of course and I know you have issues with sand but, it's what we could afford." She started to get a little nervous then thinking he wouldn't like it but she calmed down when she felt his hand on hers.

"It's perfect babe, thank you."

(Grimmjow's P.O.V)

Once we get the kids situated and all of us fed we explore the house together. Everything we could need has already been provided including a fully stocked kitchen. Turns out my beautiful wife pulled a few more favors from Soul Society than she originally let on. Kyoraku and Ukitake chipped in and bought us this place. I figured out Ukitake had a hand in it when I found a bunch of candy in the kids' rooms. I can't you believe they each got their own room!

Orihime and I have a Jacuzzi in our bathroom and a large king bed in the bedroom. Seriously, it's amazing, peaceful; just…wow…I'm the luckiest man in the world, hell, the luckiest man in three worlds!

I have amazing kids who will rival even my accomplishments someday. I have a wife who takes my breath away even after 12 years married and three kids. I have a few friends; well I guess they are friends. I am one lucky son of bitch and it's all because of my woman.

(Third P.O.V)

As Orihime approached her husband he took her hands and pulled her close for a long, deep kiss. Pulling back slightly but still in his arms she giggled and he smiled.

"You're lucky this is a private beach babe, otherwise I would probably have to beat some guys off of you. Seriously, even after 12 years and three kids your fucking gorgeous. You still look like the same girl I met when you were 17."

Orihime blushed and slapping his shoulder playfully countered, "Grimmjow you are such a flirt."

As she looked into his eyes she asked with a worried tone, "Are you okay? You seem like you're somewhere far away."

He blinked and shook his head before replying, "Nothing's wrong Hime, I was just thinking back to when we first met. Looking at us now I can't believe all of this is real. And it's all because of you woman. I love you Orihime, you know that right? And I love our kids even if I complain about them from time to time. If I lost my powers and became human tomorrow I'd be fine with it. As long as I have the four of you I'll be fine, you made us a family babe."

Orihime replied with a sly grin, "Well, you'll have to say as long as you have the five of us."

Grimmjow didn't understand at first but as comprehension dawned on his mouth opened in surprise, Five? You're pregnant?!"

Orihime simply nodded but before she could speak the two of them were suddenly doused with water, compliments of their three children. Rocky, Michelle and Wilhelm all laughed and ran off. Before Grimmjow could say anything more about the news of a fourth child joining them Orihime tore off after the kids.

He watched quietly, smiling as he watched Orihime grab Wilhelm using her powers to keep him from running. She released her fairies to play with the kids.

She turned to wave at him, calling him to join them. He nodded and leapt out of the gigai before going into his full release form.

Eyes widening Orihime called to the kids to run and commanded her fairies to try to slow him down as she took off running for the water after her children.

Grimmjow laughed as they ran and thought to himself as he continued after them, "Maybe love her? Fuck that. I definitely fucking love them."
