Kita yawned widely as Vale took notice. He looked to Sojiro as he stood and gave his little brother back to their mother as Vale looked to Yumiko leaning against the wall. "Time for us to clear out so she can get some rest." Kita took Kadaj from Sojiro and kissed his cheek softly. "I love you.""I love you too, mom." Sojiro kissed her cheek then kissed little Kadaj on the forehead and stood. Yumiko pushing off the wall starting a path toward them. She leaned over and hugged Kita, giving Kadaj a kiss on the head. "I will come check on you two tomorrow." Kita nodded, "Thank you for being here, Yumiko."
She gave Kita a soft smile as she and Sojiro both turned and left the room. Vale and Kita the only ones left in the room with little Kadaj, Vale stepped up to the side of the bed helping Kita get comfortable laying down and helped her lay the baby down next to her on the bed. He then slowly and carefully slipped into bed next to her. Kadaj laying between them. "He is beautiful," Vale whispered as he looked at his new born son. Kita smiled and kissed Vale's cheek. "Proud papa." She yawned covering her mouth as Vale brushed a few strands of hair from her face."Rest. He will be hungry soon and you are the only one that can feed him right now." he returned her kiss with one on the forehead as she closed her eyes slowly. "Just wake me if I don't wake when he does." Vale only nodded to her as her eyes closed the rest of the way and she drifted off to sleep.

"Family Ties":Kita’s eyes opened as soon as the connection was broken, her hand drawing to her forehead. Gin was hurting. Why did she not sense it last time they were together in their dreams? Was he slipping away? Was he finally giving up on them? Why? After their promises, their vows? Did they mean so little to him that he would just throw them all away after only three months? Did he forget what they were fighting for? What they bound themselves to years ago with Kisuke, Juushiro and the others?
She pushed up in the bed, her knees drawn to her chest as she wrapped her arms around her legs and rested her head to her knees. She closed her eyes as a few tears dropped to the sheet wrapped around her. This is not like Gin. His fighting spirit waning like the moon in the night sky concealed by the shadows of darkness. Why is Shinsou not helping--
Kita’s head came up quickly as she then realized. Gin and Shinsou were not together. He could live as a whole without her. He could even live without Sojiro, but he can’t live as a complete person without his zanpakuto. It’s more a part of him than any other thing or person in this world. She sprang up from the bed slipping into her robe at the foot of the bed. She walked over to the bassinet and looked down at little Kadaj. She smiled warmly pulling his little blanket up some to keep him covered. She then turned and walked toward the door to find Vale. She could feel his reiatsu strongly which meant he was still close by. Opening the bedroom door she exited out into the main room leaving the bedroom door open to hear Kadaj if he woke. Moved

"Family Ties": (continued) Vale smiled with a nod. "No time soon. Take your time, love." Vale followed Kita into the bedroom, stopping in the doorway. "I probably won't leave for a couple of days. I want to spend a lot of time with Kadaj, since he's still fresh to the world." "Does he have a new baby smell?"Vale laughed, walking over to where Kadaj was sleeping. "He does, actually."

Gathering her things for her shower she could not stop smiling about Vale. He was defiantly a proud father. She was glad of that, it meant Kadaj would never have to go without having his father involved in his life. At least she hoped nothing would happen to separate the two, but with Aizen involved in their lives one never knew what was in store for any one person that involvement had with that man.
She stopped at the bathroom door and turned looking at Vale as he looked down at the sleeping Kadaj. "Didn't you have something cooking on the stove?"

Vale picked up his son, smiling as the child's eyes opened. "Sojiro wanted me out of the kitchen anyway. I'm sure he got it." Vale lifted the child closer to his face, as he twisted in his swaddling cloth.
"I don't think he likes this thing." grunted Vale. "Why the hell is he wrapped up like a roll anyway?"

Kita giggled, "New born babies liked to be swaddled. It give them the security of still being in the womb. Babies start easily. Being contained like that--or in a roll as you want to call it."
She giggled softly, "helps give them the safe feeling of being in the arms of their parents. When you're holding him you can unwrap him some, but keep his blanket around him. Its cold in this palace. We don't want him to get sick, but we don't want him too get too hot either."

Vale placed the baby to the bed and unwrapped him, chucking as his little arms and legs moved. He lifted Kadaj, placing him against his bare chest. "You're so tiny..." whispered Vale.
"But, you'll grow up. And, you'll be big and strong." Vale kissed the top of Kadaj's head. "But, until then...I like you this small. It's kind of cute."

Kita still smiling stepped into the bathroom leaving them to them to their own. It made her feel warm inside to see Vale with Kadaj like this. A memory she would never have with Sojiro and Gin, so it was nice to see it with one of her children and their father. She never dreamed though that Vale could be this loving and tender toward someone. Though she was sure Yumiko knew of it. They were together for a good decade.
Her head tilted slightly. "I wonder why they never had kids? Hmm."
She remembered the talk she and Yoruichi had when she got pregnant. Her saying that it was harder for Soul Reapers to have kids then humans. That was why she was so surprised when she ended up pregnant with Kenji. Kita blushed slightly at the next thought that entered her mind. She still could not believe Yoruichi told her that about her and Kisuke's sex life. She was definitely a different kind of mother figure. A soft giggle escaped her, but she would not trade her for the world since she lost her own mother years ago. At that moment a tear trickled down her cheek as she paused in taking her shower.
"Vale?" She called to him in a soft saddened tone.
"Yeah, what is it? Everything alright in there?"
She heard his voice drawing closer to the bathroom until she heard him enter. "Who killed my parents?"

Vale stood in the doorway of the bathroom, Kadaj still resting against his chest. "I'm not going to answer that. I'm not going to do that to you. Why do you want that image in your head or that hatred in your heart?" He looked to Kita as she disrobed and stepped into the shower.
"Enjoy the birth of our child. Enjoy the brooding fifteen year old in the kitchen. Do not focus on your pain."

She looked at Vale with tear pooled eyes. "You ordered it didn't you?" When Vale did not answer she sighed and stepped into the shower pulling the shower door closed behind her. "That's fine if you don't want to answer me, but know when this is over I will find them in the Soul Society." She turned on the water as it pooled around her feet.
"I will go searching for them I don't care if it takes my entire immortal life to find them. I will find them one day." Her arm folded against the wall as she rest her head to it. "I will find them." She whispered.

"There is no guarantee that they will even be there, Kita." replied Vale. "Don't waste your time. The odds that you will will find them, are about as guaranteed as you becoming a Soul Reaper, if you ever died."
Vale began to rock Kadaj against him, as the baby began to cry. He gently patted the baby's seat, trying to calm him. "He can sense your pain, love." Vale sighed. "I was a different man, then. I hated you as much a you hated me. And, do not tell me that you did not hate me."

Kita's head shook slightly. "I would have had to hated Aizen. I did not hate him then. Why would I have hated you." She fell silent lifting from the wall. "Thank you for admitting it. You can go now. Feed Kadaj. I am sure he is hungry, he has been asleep for the last few hours."
She placed her head under the falling water letting her tears mix with the warm water. "I will find them... One day."

Vale sighed, looking to the shower. "I'm sorry, Kita." Vale turned, leaving the bathroom. He pulled the door shut behind him.
Rocking Kadaj in his arms, Vale began to hum a gentle tune. After a few minutes of humming, rocking and pacing the room, Kadaj finally fell back to sleep. Vale placed him to the bed and wrapped him up again.
"I suppose now would be the better time to go to the Soul Society. Your mother is quite upset with me."

"And running away from it is your idea of making it better?" Sumi appeared in the room with him, her hands folded in front of her. She looked back to the bathroom door. "None of you will ever be able to understand that women in there. She is my Vessel and there are still times I do not understand her." She looked back at Vale.
"It has been twenty years since the death of her parents. She was heartbroken, a shell for days, but she forgave the person that did this heinous act against them. They had nothing to do with what was going on and yet you targeted them and took the lives of innocent people." She paused and looked at Kadaj. "What you did would be like someone targeting that innocent infant you love so much and killing him. You owed her the truth, Tervaden. Now that she has it you want to run off and leave her to her own." Sumi's head shook slowly.
"Why is it you can dish it out but cannot face it?"

"Why do you people always think that I am running from something? You know nothing about me, Goddess. I am tired of you people assuming that I am running from something. You can only assume that because you do not understand me. I run from nothing."
Vale looked to the goddess. "Kita may have forgiven me. But, I know when people need to be alone."
