((So, new story, new pairings, new plot, and a whole lot of trouble. X) This was requested by SakuraYuri89, and I wanted to thank 'em for suggesting such an interesting story. This story is AU IchiAi (Ichigo/Aizen) plus other pairings, multiple mpregs... It's still in Soul Society and shinigamis and stuff but with a twist. And, I'm doing this one with POV… I'm still new to doing POV but I'll try it as much as I can. Gomen for any OOCness. I'm not used to writing Aizen and Ichigo since I mostly do ByaRen. Hehe…but I hope I do well. Anyway, enough of my chatter so you can go on to reading... Enjoy!))

My stomach growls loudly, making me groan inwardly. I love Sousuke, I do, but this pregnancy thing is going to piss me off. I'm always hungry or throwing up, and if I'm not that I'm moody. My stomach growls again and I roll my eyes. "Dammit…" I mutter under my breath. I gently disentangle myself from my lover's arms as he sleeps so I can go have a snack, maybe then I can get some sleep.

I walk slowly on my way to the kitchen but as I come near it I see that the light is already on. I furrow my brows. Who can be in there at this time of night? I walk in and see two kids, boy and a girl looking through the freezer. Most likely the ice cream I stashed in there the day before. I lean against the door frame with my arms crossed above my baby bump before clearing my throat.

It makes me smirk as they stiffen then slowly turn their heads to look at me.

"D-Daddy Ichi…!" says my son, who looks like a startled deer. My daughter doesn't look all that different from her brother's expression. Her dark brown eyes are big with her mouth slightly open as well.

I chuckle at them quietly and walk in the room more then make my way to where they are to pull out the ice cream. "Asami, Akira, you know if you eat this you'll be up all night."

Their faces drop down to look at the floor, knowing they were caught, but looking utterly disappointed. I sigh and pull out three spoons from a drawer. I think I spoil these kids a bit too much for their own good because I can't say no to them when they look like that. "Come on," I say walking to the table. "I'll let you have some, but not too much."

Their faces brighten with large smiles on their faces as they run to the table to sit opposite me. Each take a spoon as I open the tub of strawberry ice cream then set the lid to the side. They look so delighted when they take a spoon full of the frozen cream and deposit it in their mouths.

"Don't tell your Daddy Sousuke, okay? He wouldn't be happy about this." I tell them.

They both nod quickly, enjoying the strawberry flavor of the ice cream.

Asami furrows her brows for a moment then brushes a stray lock of orange hair out of her face. "Daddy Ichi?"

"Hai,"

"How did you meet Daddy Sousuke?" She asks after swallowing.

The question catches me off guard a little. I wasn't expecting her to ask that at all. "Uh…why do you ask?"

"We've been wondering how you've two met since Ryoko-chan brought up how her dads met too." Akira answered for his sister before taking another spoon full.

"Oh…" I blink again in surprise before scooping out a bit of the partially melted dessert then putting it into my own mouth. I think for a minute, trying to gather my thoughts before I hear a soft knock on the kitchen door. Crap… My head turns to eye the brown-haired man I knew was there. "Sousuke, I thought you were sleeping?"

"I was until someone got out of bed, along with two other ones who were missing from their rooms." I could see the amused grin on his face which made me roll my eyes and shove another spoonful of ice cream in my mouth.

"Oh," I muttered then shrugged lightly while swallowing. "I got hungry and they were already in here looking for the ice cream so I figured we'd share some before going back to bed."

I could see from the corner of my eye that he was shaking his head with amusement. I rolled my eyes again as he sat down next to me before looking to our children. They looked to not even care that he was there now. They were just happy to be getting their dessert.

I pursed my lips. "Akira and Asami were wondering how we met." I mention to my husband.

"Oh?" He smiled to the twins. "Why would you want to know that boring story?" He asked, a bit of sarcasm laced in his voice.

Akira moved his brown bangs out of his eyes before answering. "I wouldn't think it's boring." He objected. "I wanna know, Daddy Sousuke!"

"Yes! Please!" Asami pleaded along with her twin brother, making me smirk again. "Please, Daddy Sousuke, we wanna know!"

I chuckle and take another scoop of ice cream. "They'll know eventually anyway, might as well and tell them." I comment.

He sighs softly then steals my spoon to have a bit of ice cream himself. "I will tell you part of our story as a bedtime story. How does that sound?" He asks our children.

Their faces lit up further, each taking another large spoonful of ice cream, eating it then wincing.

"Ow!" Akira whined, holding his head. "Ow ow ow!"

Asami seemed to have the same brain freeze as her brother since she mimicked him. "Ah, owwie!"

Sousuke and I both chuckle at them.

"That is what you get for eating too much and once." Sousuke told them, looking amused.

It's funny really, everyone even I expected him to be this heartless bastard Soutaichou made him out to be…but really he isn't like that at all. He's just as kind as he was before he came to Hueco Mundo and leader of the hollows...or so I heard from Hinamori-san.

A smile pulls on my lips as he looks to me then back at our twins. The little eight year olds seem to have recovered from their brain freeze and seemed to have had enough of the frozen dessert because they both put down their spoons.

"Done?" I ask.

They both nod and hop down from their chairs to throw the spoons in the sink. "Can we hear the story now?" Asami asks. "Please, Daddy Sousuke?"

His smile widens a bit. "Hai, go brush your teeth first though."

"Okay!" The two say in unison before flash stepping out the door.

My hand goes to pick up the lid to the ice cream and sets it firmly on the tub. "You know how long of a story that is, Sousuke…you won't be able to tell it in one night."

He nods. "I know, but they want to know and I do not mind sharing."

I stand to make my way to the freezer to put the tub in it then close the door. "You can't tell'em everything though," I frown,turning, "at least not yet."

His smile falters as he walks over to me to set his arms around my waist. "I may not be able to tell them of exactly how we battled against Yamamoto but I will not lie to them…I have done that enough about my own heritage and position. I don't want them to not know about theirs."

My hands come to rest on his chest and I frown worriedly, "I just don't want them to get freaked out."

His lips gently press to mine, they are soft and gentle. "I know,"

"Come on, Daddy Sousuke, Daddy Ichi!" we hear Akira call.

I see a knowing gleam in Sousuke's eyes as he pulls away. He most likely thinks I was like them when I was kid…He has told me he's been watching me since then.

Oh, wait…I don't even want to think about that. That is just a little too weird for me to think about. I push the unwanted thoughts out of my head and turn to follow him out the door down to Akira's room.

The first thing I see is that not only is Akira in bed but his sister is tucked in right next to him, both anxiously waiting for their story before they go to sleep.
