Poor guys, so much bottled-up hurt (especially, on Byakuya's side)! I'm glad they've found a way to resolve their argument. Poor Renji, he didn't mean anything wrong and poor Byakuya, tired of his "stay at home and take care of the baby" role. This had to happen and the quarrel sounded very believable.
(Though I'm kinda convinced that Zabimaru would look after the baby with equal care).

[marinliliz]

I suspect that Byakuya is suffering from baby blues (postpartum depression) and Renji really doesn't know what to do with him. And I'm sure they haven't solved their argument, more of a case of 'saved by the bell'. I still have a few more lines of quarrel to write before they kiss and make up;P

And sure Zabimaru would be as caring and reliable as Senbonzakura but Renji isn't as proficient with kidou as Byakuya...

Thank you for the comment *hugs gokuwolf*

[gokuma]

BTW, I liked Zabimaru more when it looked like a big monkey (I hope it'll go back to this form)...

[marinliliz]

I think I liked it better too; it would certainly protect baby Hikaru fiercely.

Aww, I'm pretty new to reading ByaRen stuff, much as I've liked the couple for a long time and this is just such a lovely story and nothing like anything I've read before. Their arguing is obviously a normal thing for them but the frustrations feel so real and both are right in their own way. I love your Renji and how he does stand up to Byakuya properly and... he's lovely. I will be keeping an eye out for the next part eagerly!

[marinliliz]

Thank you, I struggled a bit with that argument so it's good to know it feel real;)

Although I haven't written the back story to how they got to be married and with a child, the Byakuya and Renji of this story, know each other better than their cannon counterparts and their relationship is no longer that of a captain and vice-captain but one on a much more equal standing; which I believe they still find difficult to deal with, hence all the angst.

I can see there being an argument in the near future.

[marinliliz]

Oh yeah, I can see it blowing up pretty soon. I can also see the HOT make up sex >___

[theablackthorn]

Ooh yes that's gonna be good.

[marinliliz]

Hehehe:D

AWWWWWWWWWWW! Happy Birthday, Byakuya <3

Ouch, such a nasty argument. I understand Byakuya very well, but then, Renji didn't mean to do or say anything offending - he was just being loving, protective husband (and father) he is. Still, 3 months is not a very long time to learn the role of a spouse and a parent, they'll work it up somehow ^_____^ Especially that, behind the facades, they crave for each other so much <3

I love it! When can we expect the continuation? :) *nuzzles wolf*

[marinliliz]

I think it's too much frustration and added stress that has Byakuya in such an uproar. A nice, relaxing night of love making is just about what he needs XD

The next part is a little interlude from Senbonzakura pov that I want to post on Hikaru's birthday on February 19th, the final part will come soon after that I hope. *tackles and nuzzles wolf*

Speaking as a mother of 2 - postpartum hormones SUCK and being home with a baby is incredibly demanding. You're on 24/7 and going back to work feels like such a relief, you can have a cup of coffee and not worry about spilling it on the precious akachan, plus nobody's puking on you all the time. Renji ought to take a turn for a few month as well. Seriously - aren't yaoi relationships about being egalitarian in these things? But Renji didn't say anything too bad. OH YEAH the lack of sex and the sleep deprivation can make both spouses cranky, too. Just in case you others aren't in that stage of life yet - I'm corroborating. Also, I'm enjoying the story and I usually avoid mpreg.

[marinliliz]

Yeah, you're right, I don't have any kids or husband so far, I based the whole thing on my experience around new mothers and the usual clichés, so it's good to know I got the facts straight;)

I'm sure Renji wouldn't mind taking care of the baby full time but there's more to the egalitarian thing in this. Maybe I should explain that better next:P

Anyway, it's always great when people who usually avoid mpreg like how I write mpreg. Thank you:)
