"You know," Abarai Renji started, somewhat cautiously, "it's been a while since we've gotten married, you know what I mean?"
Inoue Orihime stared back at him with large, incredulous eyes. "Ehhhh?" Renji wished immediately that he hadn't opened his mouth.
It had been three months since their wedding, and Renji had yet to lay hands on the girl he'd grown to love. He wasn't quite sure when he had started feeling, well, feelings for the orange-haired scatterbrain. Perhaps it was just a side effect of the time he had spent with Kurosaki Ichigo. The thing was, this girl actually loved him back, and, even after two years of courtship and three months of marriage, Renji had yet to fully digest the unexpected turn his life had taken. Sure, he was a shinigami, and she a human, but he was ready to stay stuck in a gigai for the rest of his life if he had to.
If there was one thing Renji could not ever get used to, it was that stare Orihime gave him when he asked her about anything. Those large, questioning eyes that accompanied the "Ehhh?" she'd always give him, as if he had made a ridiculous request. And now, confronted with that stare, Renji gulped nervously.
"Well, you know, I was wondering if we could, uh, take it to the next step?" What was it about Orihime that made Renji so nervous? "You know, like, have kids, maybe?"
"You mean babies?" Orihime cocked her head questioningly.
"Uh, yeah, babies." Renji started to feel that this might be a bad idea. Who knew what Orihime would do? She was so unpredictable sometimes, and while Renji had gotten used to some of her quirks, he wasn't ready for what would happen next.
Orihime jumped him. Renji's back slammed against the floor, and he shook his head, stunned. He opened his mouth to say something, but all that came out was a moan - Orihime was way ahead of him.
Renji learned it the harder way. Despite her innocent exterior, Orihime sure knew what she was doing when it came to making babies.
