Ichigo tightly embraces Kanae, burying his face in the warmth of her neck. As she delicately massages his scalp, a soft sigh escapes his lips.
Kanae gazed up at Ichigo, a warm smile gracing her lips, while he let out a satisfied sigh. The memories of the previous day danced vividly in the recesses of her thoughts.
now knowing that a spirit pressure seeking creature exists and will come after her and her unborn child because theirs are unbelievably high made her worry for their safety.
Despite only providing her with a slight sense of relief, the knowledge of the existence of soul reapers, known as protectors, does bring her some comfort.
Kanae tenderly massaged Ichigo's scalp while her gaze drifted aimlessly towards his chest. She couldn't help but feel a profound sadness as she listened to Ichigo speaking about his lost powers, and how he felt utterly helpless in his inability to protect her and their unborn child.
Even though she reassured him not to be too hard on himself, she is aware of the immense guilt he still carries.
As Kanae felt a gentle kick, she cast her eyes downwards towards her tummy and softly caressed it with a contented sigh.
As Kanae felt a gentle touch on her hand, she instinctively looked up and met Ichigo's gaze. His half-closed eyes stared deeply into hers, creating a captivating moment between them.
Ichigo gently caressed her tummy as he greeted both her and their unborn children, "Good morning, you two," he said warmly. Kanae smiled softly and replied, "Good morning, Ichigo."
Ichigo plants a gentle kiss on Kanae's forehead and says, "Getting baby clothes would have been much simpler if you had allowed Dad to reveal the gender to us—I'm amazed he hasn't spilled the secret yet."
Kanae chuckled softly, "I prefer keeping it as a surprise. The best part is that unisex clothes are not only more affordable but also incredibly adorable."
Ichigo gazed deeply into Kanae's eyes, his heart filled with a rush of emotions. Slowly, he raised his hand towards her cheek, delicately caressing it as if it were the most precious thing in the world. "I'm glad i met you, kanae."
kanae smiled "I'm glad i met you too, ichigo"
Ichigo leans forward, hesitating slightly. Kanae closes the gap between them, slowly kissing Ichigo.
Ichigo kissed back with a soft hum, gently caressing her cheeks with his hand.
As they tenderly moved apart, Ichigo lovingly pressed his lips against Kanae's forehead."come on let's go take a bath" Ichigo spoke.

Kanae gently hummed while she tidied up Ichigo's room. Kon perched on the table, observing her efforts. "You've been tirelessly working for an entire hour, Kanae. It's time to take a well-deserved break," urged Kon.
kanae shook her head "I'm almost finished kon don't worry" As she replied, Kon sighed and silently observed her rearranging Ichigo's manga collection.
Kon's eyes widened as he gazed at the ground beneath Kanae. "K-Kanae.."
Kanae hummed and turned to Kon "i-i think your water broke.."
Kanae's eyes widened as she glanced downwards, only to be suddenly overcome by a searing pain in her lower abdomen that compelled her to let out a half-scream.
In a rush of urgency, Kon leaped off the table and bolted towards the door. His heart pounding with worry, he desperately searched for Ichigo or his father. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through kanae, causing her to let out a scream of agony. — While helping Yuzu with lunch, Ichigo suddenly paused, his attention captured by the noise coming from upstairs.
