**Midori's POV**

I looked up after noticing a Senkaimon appeared in my living room. I tilted my head to the side out of confusion "What the...?" 

A dark shadowy figure appeared as they were walking through. It wasn't long until I recognized who it was. I jump off of my couch and into his arms, hugging him tightly.

"Ikkaku!!" We fell on the floor, I was on top, straggling his waist while my arms were wrapped around his neck. "You're back!"

He wrapped his arms around my waist and brought me in even closer, if that was possible. "How could I let the woman I love go through this alone?" I pull away from him, giving him a chance to sit up while I was still in his lap. And then it dawned on me

"Y-you love me?!" I felt my face flush. He chuckled quietly, bringing me in closer and placing our foreheads together. "I know I have a hard time showing it. And I'm not saying it simply because you're pregnant with my kid." He takes my hands and looks at me lovingly. 

"But I'm not lying. Once I received your letter, I immediately went to the Head Captain. He said yes but....." the way he trailed off caught me off guard. He was no longer making eye contact with me and looking towards the ground. Seems like there are circumstances that he must follow in order to be here. I smile gently, placing my hand on "What is it, Ikkaku?"

He looked back up, his eyes were filled with concern and what seemed like hatred? "When our baby is born, we must make the decision to risk their life staying in the World of the Living or move to the Soul Society. But Midori.....you....you....." I noticed a gloss around his eyes 'Is he....going to cry?'

"As a human, you will not survive the Soul Society if you choose to live there. The Head Captain doesn't know if you'll become a soul or a lost soul. And if you become a lost soul, there's no way to bring you back....."

'What....?' I place my hands on my belly, slowly getting up off of Ikkaku. My mind was racing. I had to choose, my life or my childs. Is that really even a choice? 

**Ikkaku's POV**

Her expression darkened as she looked towards the ground. The warmth of her body on mine immediately became cold. I didn't know what to think either. This choice is just as hard on me.

"I'll do it...." I heard her mutter, which pulled me out of my thoughts. She looked up at me, tears streaming down her cheeks but her eyes were closed and she was smiling.

"For our child's well being and safety, we will move them to the Soul Society once they're born."
