The pain was horrendous, and she could not stop the scream that made it past her clenched teeth. Dropping out of the bed, she began to crawl towards the door of her bedroom. Another wave of pain in her abdomen made her almost fall on her face but she strengthened her resolve. Something was wrong with her- no something was wrong her and Ichigo's baby and she would not let them take her too.

This time when the wave hit, she fell to her side and fought back the bile in her throat. She would not make it out of the apartment. Changing course for her bedside table she reached for the phone that sat there. When the fourth wave hit she felt something wet and instantly pulled up her nightgown.

Cursing all the deities, she could think of with shaky fingers dialed Isshins number. After two rings he picked up, “Rukia? What's wrong it's three o'clock at night.”

“The baby….the baby is coming.” Another wave of pain made her drop the phone and curl into a ball on the carpet floor. Her water had broken and it wasn't close to her due date. She had read up on pregnancy in this world enough to know that this was far from good news. She was only five months pregnant.

She was going to lose her little girl too.

Crying seemed like the weakest thing to do, but she did anyway as she tried to concentrate as much spirit energy as she could to her womb.

“If you don't stop that, you're going to die too.”

Not stopping her ministrations, she looked up into her childhood friend's eyes.

“Renji,” she glared “How dare you come here.”

“I'm sorry,” he said sincerely, “but the captain refused to come here after..” he trailed off and instead chose to walk closer to Rukia.

“Don't get near me,” she hissed.

Putting his hands up Renji sighed, “Look Rukia if I'm here that means you already know how this is going to end up. I don't like it either but if you don't stop using all of your energy on something futile you're going to die.”

“I don't care.”

“Look alright, I know you don't care about your own life right now, but if you die that's it! You're not going back to Soul Society; you were banned, so when you die, you die.”

“I told you I don't care,” she managed, “I have nothing left Renji, if our baby dies I don't want to live.”

“Well you might not care about your soul but Ichigo wouldn't have wanted you to go this way,” he reasoned inching closer.

“Stay back!”

“Gods Rukia will you quit being so impossible! Ichigo isn't the only one that cares for you! Other people care if you die! And I'll be damned if I go back to Soul Society and tell him that I let you die!”

Rukia froze, “He's…..they let him….he's there?” she asked tears pooling down her face. “I thought since he helped me escape that they would ban him from there too.”

“Well, he's there he just can't leave. The elders are still a little pissed off with him so they're not letting him become active for a few more centuries.”

She bit back a sob, “You mean once I'm dead.”

“Well-

A scream from the petite woman cut him off. “Rukia!” This time she was too weak to stop him from getting closer and picking her up. He maneuvered her carefully in his arms and picked her up only to see a large amount of blood coming from her. “Fuck!”

Hearing a pounding at the door, he laid Rukia back in the bed and rushed to it around the same time Isshin broke it down. “Where is she!”

^^^^^^^^^

By the time Rukia was conscious again she woke to see a raven butterfly with orange specks fly out the window. Looking to her side, she saw Renji holding her hand with a solemn expression on his face. “I'm so sorry Rukia.”

She gripped him back tighter, “Am I still paying for my sins?”

“What?”

“I've lost the second man I've ever loved and now I've lost his child too. Am I being punished for killing Kaien? Haven't…..haven't I paid enough?” she asked voice quivering. “Because Renji if I'm not I don't know what else I have to give.”

He held her while she cried and when Isshin came back into the room he looked over her slumbering form. “Please take care of her.”

“I will,” he said.

And Renji slipped into the night.
