Warnings: Long Chapter
Karin sighed and rubbed the sides of her rather large stomach as she lay on her back in the lab. The baby would be coming soon, there was no doubt about that.
“Oh look, the tail is swishing.” Lilinette exclaimed excitedly as they looked at the Ultrasound monitor.
“Ooo, I see it.” Hana exclaimed happily, pointing at the coloured monitor.
“It definitely takes after you Grimmjow.” Lilinette noted.
Grimmjow gave a bit of a grunt as his eyes looked at the screen displaying their child in 3D, a rather new invention of Szayel’s and as far as Karin knew, this was the first time testing it.
Normally she would have pummelled him into the next century, and then let Grimmjow pummelled him two further, for testing anything out on her. But this was a device that was harmless and she did honestly want to see the baby with this much detail.
With this new machine they could even see the soft fur covering the baby’s pointed ears and the lower half of the body. The legs, while more or less human shaped, tapered off into very obvious paws. The mask fragment covered it’s chest in a thick, slightly V shape that would probably become more defined as it grew.
“Everything appears to be healthy and normal.” Szayel reported. “Strong heart rate, responding to outside stimulus. The baby should be ready to come out soon.” The pink haired Arrancar smiled at her, removing the probe from her stomach.
If Grimmjow’s increased hovering was anything to go by, the baby had to be due to arrive soon. He practically refused to leave her side and it had been difficult to get him to agree to come for her weekly check up.
She had noticed Szayel seemed extra cautious around her and only touched her when it was absolutely necessary. Every time the Scientist touched her she could feel the displeasure coursing through the Claim. When the touch was extended Grimmjow would actually growl.
It was kind of funny because he seemed to have no problems with Unohana when the Taichou ran her own tests every two weeks. He also seemed to have no problems with Hana or Lilinette either, perhaps because both were too young, and female, to be considered a threat.
Unlike Szayel, who was making an entire case study out of her, Unohana was only concerned that her and the baby were healthy and that there were no complications from the strange mix of species.
“I would just like some more blood samples and then we can call it another day.” Szayel smiled at her, setting the tray of vials and a needle down beside her.
Grimmjow helped her sit up on the examination table. Her large front load was definitely making moving about more difficult.
She held her arm out while Grimmjow tightened the strap before she inserted the needle into herself and drew the lots of required blood. If there was no reason for Szayel to touch her, Grimmjow would not permit it.
While it was kind of cute, it was becoming rather ridicules. Sure she could draw her own blood, but it wasn’t comfortable to stick a needle in an arm at this angle. It would be much easier, and faster, if he would just let Szayel do his job.
“Being pregnant must have really fried my brain if I am thinking I would sooner let Szayel do something to me than suffer a little.” She thought slightly amused.
“Alright, all done. I will see you both next week at the same time, assuming the baby doesn’t arrive before then.” Szayel smiled at them while removing his gloves.
Grimmjow just glared at the Arrancar but Karin offered him a slight nod of her head before she elbowed the glowering Espada standing behind her in the stomach to catch his attention.
“You going to help me down or am I going to sit on this table all day?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.
He gave a bit of a start before grumbling something under his breath and walking around the table to help her down.
She couldn’t wait to see her feet again.
“When is the baby coming?” Hana asked.
“Soon.” Karin smiled at the little girl.
“How did it get in there?” Hana asked, pointing at Karin‘s stomach.
“Well, Grimmjow helped me put it there when it was really small so it would be safe while it grew up, and soon it will be ready to come out.” Karin explained.
“Can I help next time?” She asked with childish innocence.
Lilinette laughed and Grimmjow nearly tripped over his own feet at the innocent question. Karin just widened her smile slightly.
“Sorry hun, but it’s something only adults can do it. You will understand better when you are older.”
“Oh.” Her head fell.
“Don’t worry. I am sure one day you will have a baby all on your own.”
“Really?”
“Of course. But you are too young now. Babies are a lot of work. You have to feed them and clean them and change their stinky diapers.”
“Eww.” Hana made a face.
Karin chuckled and tried to stretch her back, but it did little for the constant ache. There was a pain numbing Kido but Karin only used it to sleep at night if she was in a large amount of pain. Unohana had warned her about numbing her body too much since she could end up hurting herself and not knowing about it if she used the spell unnecessarily.
“Ready to head home?” Lilinette asked.
“Yep.” Hana chirped and took the hand Lilinette offered her. “Fast, I want to go fast.”
“Alright, but you got to hold on.”
“Yay.”
Lilinette crouched down and Hana jumped up onto the young woman’s back. Karin straightened up and followed the two girls out of the lab, Grimmjow hovering practically on top of her and growling at anyone who even came near her.
“Can you stop that now? It’s getting annoying.” She grumbled.
His growls broke off suddenly.
“Thank you. I know it’s instinct but there is no one here even interested in me, or our child, in any threatening way.”
She heard him give a soft, exasperated sigh behind her and could practically feel him bristle with barely contained energy. The sooner they got back to the Estate the better. They made it outside just in time to see Lilinette disappeared with a screaming Hana on her back as the girl launched into a Sonido.
A smile once more lit her face. Starrk and Lillinette had been more than willing to watch Hana while Nanao was at work. In fact, Karin was pretty sure Starrk would let the girl get away with his own murder for how much he let the little girl do to him. The best though had to be when they had found him thoroughly soaked from a pre-emptive strike and run, water bombing attack.
He had been so drenched Karin had honestly thought he had gone swimming with his cloths on. Instead of getting upset though, he had simply chassed down the two culprits, one Lilinette Gingerback and Kyoraku Hana,
The first had been tossed in one of the Koi ponds while the second had gotten the tickling of a life time. Lilinette had groused for a week about how Hana had gotten off so easy.
The memory was definitely a fond one and Karin couldn’t help but to let out a soft chuckle at the memory of it.
She felt a contraction and touched her stomach.
“You find it amusing too, little one?” She thought.
Another contraction.
Karin chuckled and took a step forward. They had decided to forgo Shunpo and Sonido for fear of the effects the G-forces would have on the baby. She made it six steps before she felt another contraction.
She froze, and started counting.
“What’s wrong?” Grimmjow asked, coming up beside her and resting his hands on her stomach.
She ignored him, and after forty eight seconds she felt another contraction.
“I think we should go to the fourth.” She said.
“Why?”
“Just get me there.” She hissed.
Another contraction.
“Shit.” She hissed and would have collapsed if Grimmjow hadn’t caught her.
Her reiatsu flared in distress, and the monitor on her wrist started beeping. The static sound of Sonido came to her ears even as Szayel appeared beside them.
“What’s going on?” He demanded.
“I think I am going into labour.” Karin answered.
Szayel’s eyes widened in glee.
“Don’t move. Grimmjow, get her down to the ground. Nemu, get a stretcher quickly.” Szayel ordered calmly, although delight was definitely in his voice.
Karin gripped onto Grimmjow’s jacket as he helped her to the ground. Her grip tightened as another contraction came. When Grimmjow tried to pull away, Karin wouldn’t let him, gripping his shirt harder.
Nemu arrived a moment later with a stretcher and the two Espada helped get Karin onto it.
“We need to get her inside.”
“No.” Karin snapped. “The fourth. Now.”
They must have made quite the scene. Her laying on a stretcher being pushed by Nemu while Grimmjow and Szayel ran by her side down the centre of the streets in their rush to get to the fourth.
In the future they would probably look back at it and laugh, but right now her entire focus was on breathing and surviving the contractions.
Szayel was the one who made the first mistake when he grasped her wrist to check the reiatsu and blood pressure readings on the watch like device. Her hand snagged his and squeezed as another contraction hit.
He actually yelped in pain as her heightened reiatsu and labour induced strength crushed his hand in hers.
“Karin-san, please let go.” He begged, trying to pry his wrist from her grasp, while they were still running no less, with no success.
Another contraction and she squeezed harder, earning another pained yelp from him and he almost tripped over his feet as they were still sprinting down the road. They made it to the fourth, the Shinigami on duty quickly scattering as they came bolting in.
“Get Unohana now.” Grimmjow barked.
Szayel whimpered and tried to pry his hand from Karin’s with no success. In fact her next contraction nearly sent him to his knees for the grip she had on him and several people winced as they swore they heard bones crunch.
Despite the situation, Grimmjow did send a ‘you deserve it and are getting what was coming to you’ smirk at the clearly in pain Scientist.
Unohana came onto the scene and despite the whimpering Espada and cursing Karin, a sense of peace just seemed to flow about them.
“How long has it been since she started her contractions?” Unohana asked calmly as she approached them.
“A few minutes.” Grimmjow answered, hovering as close to Karin as he could get while staying out of her grabbing range.
He sure as hell didn’t want to end up like Szayel, and unlike the Scientist, he knew just how strong Karin was.
Unohana approached them and came around to where Szayel was actually gasping for breath and simply pulled the side rail up from its current downward position. Karin gave one last shudder and got another yelp from Szayel before the contraction receded and she transferred her death grip to the railing.
Szayel pulled his hand away from her reach as quickly as he could and looked at the mangled joint before ordering Nemu to get pressure sensors quickly to measure the strength Karin was putting out.
“Let’s get her to a delivery room.” Unohana stepped back and Nemu pushed the stretcher down the halls until they came to a room.
They transferred her to the delivery bed and Unohana helped her out of her clothes and into a hospital gown. Szayel spent the time it took to transfer her beds to bind his poor, abused hand.
“What now?” Grimmjow asked nervously, pacing along the wall where he was out of the way.
“We wait.” Unohana offered him a smile.
Nemu arrived shortly after and handed Karin what looked like hand grips with a wired sensor on them. Karin took them and squeezed them as another contraction hit. The slight give and gel grips were much easier on her wrist.
“You should advocate these things.” She gasped between contractions. “Much easier on the joints.”
There was a knock on the door and a moment later Starrk walked in, looking about the room before leaning against a wall in apparent boredom.
When Unohana had learned more about how ‘emotional’ the male tended to get when his mate went into Labour she had requested someone able to handle the sixth easily in a full blown panic attack be present encase something happened.
Aizen had agreed and had ‘suggest’ to Starrk that he be present in case their Kami’s ‘wife’ needed protection from a hysterical Espada.
Starrk was the only one that was both powerful enough to contain Grimmjow should the blue haired Espada flip out and also be somewhat trusted by everyone. They all knew after the baby was born Grimmjow would definitely get his Mate and Child back to their ‘Den’ quickly.
There would only be a limited window after the child was born to transfer Karin and the Baby back to the Den before Grimmjow went on full defensive. Starrk was there to make sure the transference went as smoothly as possible.
Another contraction hit and suddenly something gave way. Fluid gushed from her as her water broke and full labour began. It was the most intense pain she had ever felt and she desperately wished they’d had time for drugs.
“Unohana.” She gasped. “Is there a medical Kido that works like an epidural?” She begged between contractions.
“Yes, but it could also affect the child if cast wrong so it’s only used during emergencies.” Unohana smiled at her. “Just keep breathing, the baby will come when it‘s ready.”
“I would consider this an emergency.” She snapped.
It was painful and the baby showed no signs of coming. Her stomach was really starting to hurt and after another four hours of contractions and agony she could tell that Unohana and Szayel were both starting to get worried. Grimmjow was hissing in the background and pacing back and forth like a caged cat. Starrk was the only one who appeared non pulsed.
“Something is wrong.” Szayel muttered, being the first to voice their concerns.
Unohana nodded in agreement and touched Karin’s stomach with green, reiatsu infused hands.
“The baby appears to be facing the right way, but…”
“There is probably a cord stuck somewhere.” Szayel finished.
Unohana nodded in agreement.
“What does that mean?” Grimmjow demanded with a bark, his pacing increasing.
“It means the baby can’t be born like this. If there is a cord wrapped around it, it could harm the child, the mother, or both on it’s way out.” Szayel explained.
Karin let out another pained gasp and whimpered.
“What?” Grimmjow growled, and started to march towards them.
Starrk acted, gaining a hold of the 6th. Grimmjow responded by trying to elbow the other in the face in his mission to get to Karin, who let out another cry of pain, initiating the now frantic Espada to struggle to get to her.
“We should do a C-section for safety sake.” Szayel commented.
“Agreed.” Unohaan agreed.
“A what?” Grimmjow demanded, struggling against the now firm hold Starrk had on him.
“We will cut her open to get the baby out.” Szayel explained.
Grimmjow froze for a moment, a moment Starrk used to make sure he had a firmer grip, before he went totally off the deep end and started struggling against Starrk with all of his strength, screaming at them that he would kill them if they started slicing his mate up.
“May I do the honours?” Szayel asked, his voice rather steady for the death threats and reiatsu lashes being sent his way.
“Of course, Szayel-san. Give me a second to get the pain numbing Kido off first please. You seem to have a poor choice of words.” She nodded to the now frantic and thrashing Espada.
Unohana cast the Kido quickly before nodding to Szayel that he could begin.
“Please be calm, Grimmjow-san. This is a fairly normal procedure with very little risk to mother or baby.” Unohana tried to placate the frothing Espada who was still struggling desperately against Starrk’s grip on him.
For a moment Grimmjow seemed to calm down at her assurance.
Karin let out another scream of pain and began to thrash, thankfully before Szayel could start an incision. Her scream of pain was echoed by one of fury from Grimmjow, who not only started struggling again, but also managed to finally land a strong enough hit to get a grunt from the one holding him.
“Will you deliver the kid now?” Starrk asked tiredly.
“Unohana-san, can you hold her still please.”
“Of course, Szayel-san.”
Another quick Kido and restraints came about Karin, holding her still.
“Thank you.”
Karin’s screams died down to heavy pants as the pain numbing Kido finally took full affect. Grimmjow’s howls of fury did not dissipate, in fact they rose when he saw the scalpel in Szayel’s hand start to slice Karin’s flesh open and the scent of her blood reached his nose.
His fury was strong enough he actually managed to pull a few centimetres forward and Starrk had to adjust his grip before he lost it.
“Hurry up.” Starrk groaned.
“There we are.” Szayel smirked in triumph shortly before the sounds of a very upset baby flooded the room. “And there is the cord, tangled up in the mask fragment, just as we summarised.”
Grimmjow froze as the sound of the crying baby washed over the room.
“Nemu, quickly now while we seal Karin-san up. This will be our only chance to get our samples for the next several months.” Szayel handed the crying baby to Nemu.
Nemu wrapped the baby in a blanket and took the child aside. She quickly pulled a small blood and reiatsu sample, gathered a small turf of hair, and some small scrapings from the baby’s skin, fur and mask fragments.
Her length was measured and her weight recorded. Finger prints were gathered and recorded. Done with her task, Nemu bound the baby comfortably in a fresh blanket before walking up to the now still Grimmjow.
Unohana took Szayel’s place at Karin’s side and started to seal the wound with Kido while Szayel moved up to the head of the bed.
“Where’s my baby?” Karin demanded weakly. “I want to see my baby.”
“With her Otousan.” Szayel answered with a grin. “Quickly now Karin-san, for we have limited time before your mate drags you back to the nest. The delivery didn’t go as smooth as we had hoped, but I had planned for this, as well as other, scenario’s.
“This is a four month supply of pain killers.” He showed her the four bottles of pills before placing them in a bag. “Take two every four to six hours, preferably with food, as needed. This is a panic button. If you press it, it will send out an alarm to let us know something is wrong.
“Grimmjow is not going to want to let anyone near you or the child so only use it if it’s a real emergency, like the baby not being able to eat or shows signs of getting weaker.” He put it in the bag. “Any questions?”
“No.” She answered weakly.
Szayel nodded and handed her the bag before stepping aside to be replaced by Grimmjow holding their daughter.
She held her arms out and accepted the baby as he handed their daughter over. She couldn’t stop the silly smile that crossed her face as she held her baby for the first time.
“She’s beautiful.” She breathed.
The fur they had seen on the ultrasound was dyed pink with blood, but once it was washed out it would be snowy white. Her hair was black though, just like her mothers. The baby’s eyes were closed but Karin didn’t worry about it.
“We are leaving.” Grimmjow said shortly with a clipped voice.
She nodded in understanding and simple adjusted her grip on their daughter and bag of supplies while he picked her up bridal style and stormed out, heading back for the Estate and the area he had Claimed as theirs over the last month.

Nothing could have prepared him for the first sound of his baby’s voice. His entire body froze as that sweet trumpet rang out over the room and he felt Starrk’s death grip on him loosen.
He flexed his hands and just as he was getting over the shock of the sound of his baby’s voice and about to enact some violence if he didn’t get to see his child now, Szayel’s pet bitch brought the baby over to him.
He stared at the small bundle in surprise before hesitantly reaching out to accept it, momentarily afraid his own strength would harm his baby.
From the very beginning he had never hoped to dream he would one day hold his offspring. Oh he had no doubt he would one day find a mate, at least while he had been an Adjucas, but to see his own young, that was a dream he had never dared reach for.
And yet here she was. In his arms. The moment he had taken her she had ceased crying, despite the fact her eyes were still closed she clearly recognized her sire, most likely from his reiatsu.
He could feel his mate’s distress and moved towards her so she could be reunited with their baby. The look on her face was perhaps the softest he had ever seen as he reunited baby with mother.
“We are leaving.” He declared.
They were further from the den than he would have liked and he was pleased they met no resistance. When he made it back to the nest he set Karin down gently and curled up behind her, gazing over her shoulder at their daughter.
The girl started to fuss and Karin present a nipple to the child, concern crossing her features and only easing after the baby girl started to nurse.
“She’s feeding, and seems to be drawing a small amount of my own reiatsu along with the milk.” Karin sighed in relief, her exhaustion showing in her voice.
He nuzzled her neck affectionately, his eyes never leaving their daughter.
“What’s her name?” Karin asked sleepily. “You said you would know when she was born.”
He did know. The moment he had held her he knew, just as he had known the name of his Zanpakuto the first time he had held it.
“Ajuga.” He answered without hesitation. “Ajuga Jaegerjaquez.”
Karin nodded.
“I like it.” She said weakly.
A second later her even breathing reached him, letting him know she had fallen asleep. Ajuga finished feeding and he picked her up gently, making sure the blanket was wrapped around her firmly before he started to gently rub her back instinctively.
Once all air bubbles had been expelled, he placed her back beside her mother and curled up against her, just staring at the small creature he had helped create and bring into this world.
Ajuga yawned cutely and made a gurgling sound before following her mother into slumber. He couldn’t help the soft smile that graced his lips as he gazed at his sleeping child.
His mate needed rest after the long and trying delivery, so it was his turn to watch and guard her and the young from any threats. When she awoke he would need to find her, and himself, substance.

Well, here be the baby. /love all of those reviews. Thank you all so much. After the ease everyone had in Crossbreeding giving birth I figured it was time for some difficulty.
Ajuga: A bit of credit goes to Kazes for helping me come up with the name. It’s the Latin name of a blue flower with folklore properties I might add in later.
I do have plans for Orihime and Ulquiorra, but they wont be activated for a while yet. I tried to do a scene with Yuzu and Ichigo, but I just can’t get it out, so for now I will leave it to your imagination. If I do manage to get it to work maybe I will post it later.
Next Chapter: Aizen pays the new family a visit. There may be a bit of delay on the next chapter due to scheduling and other events.
