Will these memories go on forever?

Time Flows Once Again

     The sun hasn't set yet,  I still have a few more hours left. It was just me Yuki and Rukia holding hands while walking down the streets of Karakura town. Yuki was walking in the middle of us, as we held her hand from opposite ends. Rukia: "Hey look!" She said pointing out posters scattered on every wall on sight. Rukia: "They're having a spring festival and it's today too!" Yuki: "Can we go? Can we? Can we?" Ichigo: "I don't see why not." Rukia: "Let's dress for this occasion then, there will be fireworks too!" Rukia wore this beautiful floral patterned red yukata, she purposely wore it to show off her curvy body. Damn it Ichigo you're a married man calm down! Rukia: "How do I look?" Yuki: "Pretty." Ichigo: "Yeah you look very beautiful."

      Rukia: "Honey, remember our first date was at a festival like this?" Ichigo: "Really? Oh yeah...I mean yeah it was! Could  you tell me the story, I love how you tell it." Rukia: "It was a beautiful evening just like this one, it was really awkward at first but then I held your hand and you seemed to ease up a bit. You were so nervous even your hand was getting sweaty, I told you to think of it as a regular day with me and you seemed to calm down after that." Yuki: "That was the day momma got Chappy!" Rukia: "Oh yeah I was sad I couldn't win the stuffed bunny but you insisted on winning it for me. It took all the money you had but you won the prize." Ichigo: "It's that one there right!", I said pointing to a stand with a similar stuffed animal. Rukia: "Wow I can't believe it's still here!" Yuki pulled my robe gestured to whispered to me, "pssst."

   Yuki: "Can you win me a bunny?" Ichigo: "You want another bunny? You have Chappy!" Yuki: "I know but I want to give it back to mommy. I know how important it is to her, so I want to give her back." Ichigo: "Ok, how about you distract her while I go get it!" Yuki: "Okay! Mommy let's go over here!" Rukia: "Oh you want some candy?" Yuki: "Yes please!" Rukia: "We'll be back in a minute!" Ichigo: "Sure!" It only took me a few tries to win the stuffed animal, it was probably rigged which is why it took so many tries years ago. Rukia: "We're back!" Yuki: "I'll give it back to her!" I revealed the pink bunny hiding behind my back. Rukia: "What's this?" Yuki: "You can have Chappy back, now mommy can have Chappy and I can have one of my own!" Ichigo: "Don't look at me, it was all her idea." Rukia: "Aww thank you sweetie, I love you both so much and I will continue to treasure it forever.." She kissed Yuki on the cheek and Ichigo a peck on the lips but Ichigo returned it forcefully. Rukia: "Ichigo....," she said as she blushed. Rukia: "Now everyone is staring oh my..." So cute.

    Yuki: "The fireworks are starting lets gooooo!" Ichigo: "Yeah sorry..." Time is going by so fast...the days not over yet! Rukia: "I know the perfect spot!" We stood underneath this large tree but the view wasn't so good. Rukia: "Come on let's climb to the top!" Ichigo: "Be careful!" Yuki: "It's so pretty up here!" Rukia: "See Yuki's already up there!" Ichigo: "Alright alright." At the top of the tree, we had a perfect view of the beautiful night sky. Has the sun set already? Rukia: "This was the exact spot where we had our first kiss." Ichigo blushed at the sight of the moonlight reflecting on her beautiful aura. Ichigo: "Remind me how it went..." Rukia: "Like this." She immediately kissed him slowly and Ichigo went further into deepening the kiss. Fireworks started going off, literally. Yuki: "Look it's so pretty!" It was amazing how the colorful lights shined on their eyes as they watched them with amazement. After about an hour and a half, the firework show ended. Yuki slowly yawned, I guess it's time to go home. Rukia: "Oh come here." Yuki jumped in her arms falling asleep on the way home.

         We got home and tucked Yuki into bed. Rukia and Ichigo: "Goodnight." And we both kissed her forehead. She was deep in sleep with her bunny in her arms. Rukia: "I guess it's time for us to sleep too." Ichigo: "Wait!" She looked confused. Ichigo: "I um...wanted to stay up longer with you! If that's okay with you." Rukia: "Of course I don't mind, got something on your mind?" Ichigo: "Yeah I do actually." It wasn't that late into the night yet but I didn't want to bed just yet. Rukia: "I'll make us some coffee then and we can stay up and chat." Ichigo: "I'd like that." After we had our coffee we snuggled up with each other on the sofa. Rukia: "So what's been on your mind?" Ichigo: "Honestly I don't even know where to begin, this has all been too much to take in." Rukia: "Is this because of what I said earlier...about the pregnancy?" Ichigo: "No...I mean yes...I don't know anymore...today was so much fun being with you and Yuki. It made me forget about everything I was worrying about this morning." Rukia: "Honey what are you so worried about?" Ichigo: "It's so hard being happy for others, I forget to be happy for myself." Rukia: "Hey, it's okay to feel this way, it's okay to feel upset or confused. Don't push yourself too hard overthinking about it. I may not understand how you feel but just ask and I'll do anything I can to ease your pain." Ichigo: "Rukia...thank you, it means a lot. I think I'm starting to understand what I need to do." 

     Rukia: "I guess since we're here, I should have waited to tell you before getting all hasty earlier." Ichigo: "You mean about your pregnancy?" Rukia: "Well not exactly how I planned to tell you but that's partially a lie." Ichigo: "You mean you're not pregnant?" Rukia: "No...I mean not yet...I mean...Ichigo-I want to have another baby," she said as she blushed. Ichigo: "Oh...Ohhhhh, you don't mean you want to have se-" Rukia: "Shhh," she said covering his mouth before he could finish. "I mean, I just been thinking a lot lately. I even made that up so I can get out of work early, but after today I just want to spend more time with you guys at home. So I thought maybe I want our family to grow bigger." Ichigo: "Then I guess it's the perfect time to try." Rukia: "Um, well since we're alone, um do you want to try now," she blushed. Ichigo: "No..I didn't mean! I don't mean to say it that way! I mean...I wouldn't really mind." What am I thinking! Rukia: "Then, maybe we should go upstairs," she said seductively.  

      What am I doing?!? I shouldn't be doing this but I can't help but fall into the temptation. Ichigo gazed into her eyes as she slowly began to undress herself. Rukia: "It's kind of embarrassing." Ichigo: "You're beautiful Rukia..." Rukia: "Aren't you going to help me, or are you just gonna stare." He did as she said, undressing her while kissing her neck. Ichigo: "I love you Rukia." Rukia: "I love you more."

Afterward ~

       Ichigo lays on the bed while Rukia lays on his bare chest. Ichigo: "I wish this day could last forever." Rukia: "Oh honey, we'll see each other in the morning." He only had a few hours left before midnight. The idea of that brought tears to his eyes. Rukia: "Baby what's wrong?" Ichigo: "What did I do to deserve all this..." Rukia: "What do you mean." Ichigo: "It's complicated, but I do know for sure I love you so much." There won't be a tomorrow for me here. With the little time I had, I kept repeating to her how much I loved her until I dozed off. I woke up to the realm in which my mind lies the one where Ywhach was waiting for me. 

Ywhach:"Time is up, Kurosaki."

 Ichigo: "I'm afraid so."
