The next morning is Saturday and you're woken up by something insistently poking your cheek. You lazily swat at whatever it is before rolling over on your other side. You hear Ichigo chuckle and you crack one eye open expecting to see the smiling face of your son, but instead you're greeted with an older, scruffier version of Ichigo's face just centimeters away from your own. "Good morning to you, good morning to you. Our day is beginning, so good morning to you." A deep, masculine voice sings with a noticeable Irish accent.

"Geez!" You shout in surprise and jerk backwards away from the man's face causing you to fall off of the bed.

"Dahahaha! Did you have a nice fall, love?" The man laughs and so does Ichigo.

"Did daddy surprise you, momma?" Ichigo asks.

You pick yourself up, "No, your daddy just has really bad breath."

Ichigo laughs and the man pretends to be upset, "Hey! I do not have bad breath!" He then tries to discreetly check his breath.

The man is 6' 6", well built, with bright red hair, chocolate brown eyes, and a light goatee around his mouth. There are three scars over his left eye and his left arm is missing from the bicep down. He's wearing black dress shoes, slacks, and a white button up dress shirt that's been left halfway unbuttoned and untucked from the waistband of his slacks. The left sleeve is rolled up and pinned closed just below what remains of his arm and the right sleeve is rolled up to his elbow.

"Why are you in my bedroom at," you glance at your alarm clock and groan, "six in the morning, Shanks?"

He grins at you, "I just wanted to see how you and Ichigo are settling in. Also, I brought breakfast for all of us.

You sigh, "Okay. Thank you for breakfast...and for the flowers." You start to walk out of your bedroom with Ichigo running ahead of you.

Shanks walks up beside you and wraps his arm around your waist. "You're welcome, love. Now... what's this I hear about you having a gentleman over yesterday? A Arcanine-san?" He pouts and you roll your eyes.

"He's an old friend of mine. His name is Yagi Toshinori. Arcanine-san is just what Ichigo calls him."

"Yagi Toshinori....THE Toshinori that you always went on and on about while you were recovering?"

"Yes."

Shanks' smile temporarily disappears, "Then I was right to be worried about having a rival for your heart." His huge grin returns, "But that's okay. I like a challenge."
