I stir uncomfortably in Byakuya's arms as I sleep. I feel like I've been on one of those fuckin' roller coaster things Ichigo showed me one time when I was in the living world. Ugh…I feel like shit. I sit up quickly and place a hand over my mouth. "Oh no, not ag-"I begin but flash step to the bathroom and drop to my knees instantly. I retch in the toilet, Gods this shit stings my throat as it comes up.


I can suddenly feel a warm arm around me. I must have woken Byakuya by accident. Damn…


I cough up more into the toilet. I didn't think I had this much in there. But I guess it understandable. Byakuya makes sure I eat enough for both the kid and me.


It's been a couple weeks since I found out I'm pregnant. Believe me I'm thrilled to be havin' Byakuya's kid but I can do without the constant need to throw up all the time. This shit's getting ridiculous. Cravings, throwing up, restlessness, having the constant need to piss enough to fill the goddamn ocean…fuck.


After a few more coughs I'm certain my stomach is empty and I sit up. Instantly a cup of water is pressed into my hand. I sip it wordlessly and rinse my mouth. I can hear the toilet flushing and a hand on my abdomen, rubbing smooth circles there.


"Oh Gods…Bya, don't stop doing that!" I groan setting the glass on the counter. I can hear a faint hum in reply. He's sorta groggy this morning. Not that's to be unexpected right now. He was up for half the night at work and then had some clan business. Snobby ass Elders probably bitched about something with Byakuya's and my relationship again. They never give up about that shit. All because I'm not a noble…assholes.


"Renji," I hear my lover say as I lean against him, closing my eyes. I feel tired…


"Hmm?"I mumble. I then feel as if I'm being lifted, which as I open my eyes, I can tell Byakuya is taking me back to our bed. I look at him questioningly.


"I thought it would be more comfortable in our bed for you to rest instead of on the bathroom floor."


"Ah," I mumble again and relax in his arms. When we get to the edge of the bed, he sets me down and pulls the covers over me then sits on the edge of the bed next to me as I lay down. "Would you like me to bring you some tea?"


"Mmph, no just..lay down with me?"


"Renji," He says in reproach. "you need to nourish yourself and our child."


"I know," I reply. "But I want you to lay down with me. Let Sora bring our breakfast here in a while…I'm fine for now."


He looks unconvinced but I can see he's not going to leave just yet. He lays down next to me. I curl into his arms and rest my head on his shoulder, breathing in his sakura scent. It calms my stomach a little as I breathe deeply.
