Warnings: None this Chapter
When the knock came on the main estate door the next morning, Karin was not surprised when her scan came back confirming it was Szayel, thankfully alone. She informed Yuzu and Hana she would be back in a bit and her sister offered her a wave while doing a poor job of hiding her worry.
Szayel was smart enough to come for her a little later in the morning after pretty much everyone had left for their duties for the day. Karin had a feeling that Grimmjow’s sudden mission with Starrk was not by accident.
She opened the door to see Szayel smiling at her. With a sigh she stepped out and closed the gate behind her.
“Karin-san.“ He greeted. “This way please.” He offered her a small bow and indicated the road.
She nodded and fell into step beside him as they walked to the lab. He started asking her questions almost before she had even taken her second step.
“How have you been feeling, any morning sickness, queasiness?”
“Not very much. A bit more at the beginning, but otherwise I have been feeling alright. Eggs are still a bit of an issue.” She couldn’t help but to smile in amusement.
“Any cravings?”
“Meat, the more raw the better. Which is funny. I thought I was suppose to be craving pickles and ice cream.”
“Well, your child is hardly human.”
“True.” She admitted. “Look. I, ah, wanted to thank you for not mentioning the fact that I drained Grimmjow and that we have a full Mating Claim. I am not sure how Aizen would have taken that.”
“Yes, well,” he adjusted his glasses nervously, “thank you for defending me as well. Aizen-kami‘s punishments do not always leave marks.” He actually shuddered.
“Call it even then?”
“Indeed.”
The lab came into sight and she felt butterflies start to invade her stomach. She was led to the same room as last time and found Nemu was already waiting for them, a hospital gown folded over the woman’s arm.
“Szayel-sama.” She bowed as they entered.
“Please make sure Karin-san gets dressed and proceed while I retrieve something I forgot.” He requested.
Karin felt relief that he wouldn’t be standing there watching as she got changed. She changed quickly and set her folded clothes on a near by chair before obediently hopping up onto the examination table. The room was surprisingly warm and rather comfortable today.
Nemu pulled out a chart and began asking her questions, some of which she had already answered for Szayel earlier. Measurements were taken of her growing waist, and it was growing. If the Hakama and jacket she wore were not so lose fitting others would definitely have noticed by now there was something going on with her waist line. The bump was getting pretty damn obvious.
All her vitals were checked and recorded. Blood and reiatsu samples were taken. The most embarrassing part had to be when Nemu shoved a probe up to checked the birth cannel to make sure it was free of infections or any other oddities that could complicate labour. It was definitely very uncomfortable and once more she was glad Szayel wasn’t there.
They were just setting her up for the ultrasound when Szayel returned, a small box in his hand he set aside and instantly forgot. He was clearly excited as he took Nemu’s place by her bed and lifted the gown out of the way to reveal her stomach.
Her skin flinched as he spread the cold jell about before turning his attention to the screen. She couldn’t help but to do the same, both excited and scared of what she was going to see.
The child came up and she couldn’t help but to smile. That there was her baby. She knew she was developing fast, but the baby already looked like it was five months in, not two.
Some things did seem strange though.
“Why do the feet looked like that and what’s obscuring the chest?” She asked with a hint of panic.
“Well, the feet appear more cat like, no doubt an attribute from Grimmjow. See, looks like she’s going to have paws instead of feet. Her fingers seem humane. The dark markings on her chest are probably mask fragments. Oh, look here! You can see the ears are starting to form slightly pointed as well.” Szayel beamed. “The tail bones seem to be getting longer so I wouldn’t be surprised to see the baby have one.”
She did notice.
“You should start to feel the baby moving around soon. Would you like to know the gender?” He asked. “I will have to report it to Kami of course but if you would sooner have it be a surprise I won’t tell you.”
“Not now.” She requested, feeling unsure.
Somehow seeing the baby on the screen made it all the more real and she felt her heart clench a bit. She was definitely not ready for this. Oh she had no doubt that Grimmjow would take an active interest if his hovering was anything to go by, but she wasn’t sure she was ready for the kind of responsibility a child was going to impart.
A child that wasn’t even human. Was it going to grow up faster too? Be fully matured in ten years?
A part of her kind of liked the idea of a quick babyhood (thus less dippers to change), while another part of her rebelled at the fact she would get to enjoy so little time of her baby’s childhood.
“Hold still, I want to get some reiatsu readings from the baby. Nemu pass me the…”
Nemu handed a device over before Szayel could even finish asking for it.
“Ah, thank you. This might hurt a bit like a pinch, but it won’t actually harm you or the baby.” He assured her.
She studied the needle and finding nothing off or strange about it, gave a soft nod of her head. It did pinch a bit when he pierced her stomach with it, but he was done quickly.
“Wonderful.” Szayel exclaimed happily as he looked at the reading.
“What is?” She asked.
“Your baby is displaying a wonderfully strong and steady reiatsu rotation. It is impossible to say how strong the baby will be at this point, but a solid, strong, reiatsu rotation is a good indicator the baby will have the chance at having a decent amount of power.”
“Hollows eat reiatsu don’t they?” She asked a little nervously.
“More or less.” He admitted.
“Will my child need to consume reiatsu? Will I even be able to breast feed?” She asked suddenly concerned.
“Well, judging by the fact your breast have been swelling, I would presume so. If not I am sure we can work a solution up quickly enough. After all Hollow young, as extremely rare as they are, do not consume meat, and thus reiatsu, right away. Granted Hueco Mundo has far more excess reiatsu particles then here, but again I am sure we could work something out quickly enough if something does arise.”
She nodded, feeling slightly better.
He picked up her chart and quickly scanned it, nodding his head in satisfaction as he quickly checked over Nemu’s notes and added a few more of his own.
“Well, I think we are done here for now. As much as I have many other tests I would be thrilled to run, such as how the body would respond should the child or mother catch an infection,”
She shot him a glare that promised a very painful and long death.
“I would not wish to arise Kami’s wrath.” He finished. “Today wasn’t so bad now was it?” He asked with a smile.
“You didn’t try anything stupid.” She pointed out.
“Indeed. Well, you can get dressed and I will meet you outside the room to schedule your next session. Remember, if anything strange happens let me know at once. The baby should start moving around enough you might start feeling some flutters.”
“Right.” She sat up and Szayel left the room to her and Nemu.
She quickly got dressed and exited. Szayel was waiting for them at the front desk. She noticed he was holding onto that small box he had come in with earlier. They agreed on the next appointment date and he escorted her home, which she honestly found strange.
Nemu could have easily done the escort. It probably would have been quieter as he seemed to feel it necessary to remind her off all the common side effects she could possibly experience.
“Szayel, I am nurse trained.” She finally interrupted. “I know how a normal pregnancy is suppose to go about.” She finally groused as they approached the gates.
“It never hurts to review.” He lectured.
“Yeah, review.” She sighed. “Are you sure you just don’t like to hear yourself talk?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.
He cleared his throat and adjusted his glasses.
“There is one last thing.” He said, his voice had a hint of nervousness in it.
She looked at him confused. He handed her the box.
“What is this?” She asked suspiciously.
“Well, one is just something I think you could use. The other is a heart rate and reiatsu monitor I would like you to wear at all times. It will record the data and I will download it when I see you next week.”
Frowning, she opened the box and pulled out a simple, gold, watch like device and put it on, making sure it covered her pulse point. The other item she pulled out of the box looked like a pair of violet blue shades.
She set the box down and turned the shades over in her hand before looking up at him questionably.
“Put them on.” He encouraged, his voice sounding awfully giddy.
She put them on, blinking as his reiatsu suddenly snapped to an even level just like the device he had given her yesterday had done.
“The other one was outdated, far too clunky, and didn’t match your fashion. I expect Aizen-kami will desire to view a few of our sessions and it wouldn’t do to have you blind and with a headache.
“On the side is a button that will turn the filter on and off and you can set what information you want to display.” He explained excitedly.
She clicked the button and her vision returned to normal, if not shaded.
“The glass is tempered and will be highly resistant to being shattered.”
He continued to list the features and she scrolled through them as he went through them.
She didn’t know what to say as he finished the tutorial and handed her a rather thick manual for such a small device.
“I… Thank you, Szayel.” She said, and meant it.
“Yes, well.” He suddenly seemed nervous and adjusted his glasses. “I will see you next week for our appointment.”
She gave a nod of her head and opened the front door, heading to the kitchen to let Yuzu know she was back and to see if she needed any help. Her sister and Hana waved her offer aside and with nothing else to do she headed to the small herb garden next to the kitchen for a little relaxing Jinzen.
She felt herself fall into the world of peacefulness the meditation invoked and didn’t stir from that bliss until Grimmjow and Starrk came back around late afternoon.
Grimmjow was bitching about some gay ass, useless mission they had to suffer through while Starrk just hunted down a quite place to nap that lasted all of two seconds before Lilinette arrived from wherever she had been all day in a whirl wind of energy demanding to know where the hell he had gone and why he hadn’t told, let alone taken, her.
Grimmjow dragged her to one of the smaller gardens in the back of the estate linked to the area that he had sort of claimed as their little territory since moving in. The estate was rather large when you considered it and one day Karin was going to have to explore the whole thing.
He pulled her to the ground between his legs and nuzzled her neck while his hands slipped under her shirt to explore her growing belly. She rested comfortably against his chest and let him, finding the rubbing of his hand over her stomach soothing.
Starrk had warned her the further along she got the more protective, and hovering, Grimmjow would become, weather the Arrancar noticed it or not. Her stomach tingled as she felt him scan their baby with his own reiatsu, a very small pulse returning. She could feel him grin against her shoulder.
“Good.” He murmured and continued to nuzzle her neck.
“I had to get some tests done today.” She sighed.
He stiffened behind her.
“Nothing happened.” She quickly assured him. “I am far enough along that gender can be determined. I said no this time but, do we want to know?” She asked, looking over her shoulder at him.
“Doesn’t matter either way.” He grunted. “Do you know how rare children are?” He asked quietly.
“Well, from what I have gathered with what Starrk-san said, pretty rare. Out of curiosity, how can you tell a naturally born hollow from a changed one?” She asked.
“Naturally born ones don’t have a hole and never need to fear regressing.” He answered.
“I still haven’t told anyone, but I won’t be able to hide the fact I am pregnant much longer. I didn’t want to tell anyone because I was worried someone might try to use the baby against you.”
“Pretty much anyone I am worried about knows now anyway.” Grimmjow grunted in clear annoyance.
“Point taken.” She sighed. “What about names?”
“What about them?” He asked.
“Well, the baby is going to need a name.” She pointed out.
“Such things are instinctively determined when the child is born. It is bad luck to have a name before hand.”
“Kind of like counting your chicks before they hatch?” She questioned comparatively.
“Yeah.”
They sat in comfortable silence until Hana found them to let them know dinner was ready. With a sigh of regret, she pulled out of Grimmjow’s arms and stretched. He followed her example and they made their way to the dinning room.
They were the last to arrive and took what had become their normal seats on a now crowded table while Yuzu laid out the dinner she and Hana had prepared.
Her sister was definitely happier here at Ukitake’s estate then she had been at the house, but Karin could tell it was not a full happiness. Her own relationship with Grimmjow was just showing the likelihood of Yuzu ever finding a partner was very slim in this world.
Karin shook the thoughts away and forced a smile on her face as they all dug into dinner. Without a word she loaded her plate up with meat and settled in to devour it.
“You have been pretty hungry lately.” Ukitake offered with a smile.
“Been doing lots of training.” She shrugged. “Didn’t you say people with high levels of reiatsu need to consume lots of food?” She asked.
“Indeed.” He seemed satisfied with her answer.
He hadn’t had a chance to corner her yet to interrogate her on what little project Aizen had her involved in, and frankly she wasn’t interested in telling him just yet.
“Speaking of training, I am sorry I haven’t been able to focus on your Kido since my promotion.” Nanao apologized
“Hay, it‘s only been what, a week? Setting up a new division has to be tons of work.” Karin waved the apology away.
“Still.” Nanao frowned.
“Well, my division is doing Kido training tomorrow. With your permission, Grimmjow-san, Karin-chan could come and participate in the exercises?” Ukitake offered with a soft smile.
“If she wants to.” He grunted with a shrug of his shoulders.
She smiled at him in thanks and agreed. Even if he did try to corner her it would be worth it to continue her training.
The rest of dinner passed uneventful, other than Hana attempting to paint herself with her food once more. Karin swore the little girl only did it to get attention. She definitely didn’t remember being that messy of at eater at her age.
As usual everyone, /love those reviews.
Next Chapter well be a DOUBLE post, so make sure you don’t skip to the last chapter. I feel it is imperative to have them both posted at the same time to keep up the emotional feeling of the upcoming event.
I don’t want to ruin the suspense by telling you what’s going to happen, but make sure you have your teddy bear and a box of tissues ready. I will assure you that as sad as it is, it does NOT contain rape.
