[Your first born is just eight months old and he's fallen fast asleep on your arm, his mother right behind you with her arms around your waist. The baby twitches and gives out little gurgles at this age, making his mother squirm behind you anxiously in her sleep. He twitches his little hand, rolling over to rest his little leg on your shoulder and

[Awww... you know just how to tug on this Daddy's heartstrings, Isshin.]

It's a nice feeling, isn't it?

[video]

[captainpapa]

Ahhh, it is! Even then he was trying to kick me in the face too.

[video]

[popparazzi]

Awww.... my daughter hasn't done that yet! But she's still young!

[He's going to ignore the fact that he won't be there to see it.]

[captainpapa]

You have a little girl too! I have two of them as well. What's her name?

That you found happiness outside of the Seireitei, I'm glad.

[ And he's smiling, impossibly bright. ]

It's a blessing, isn't it?

[captainpapa]

That's quite the number. Where were the others? [Did you eat them? Abandon them in the woods?]

[Under normal circumstances, he'd be incredibly embarrassed.

Well, he is... but he knows those arms that wrap around the man in the video, and while he's seen Isshin nearly every day since, it's been a long time since he last saw anything of his mother (and neither Grand Fisher nor that massive poster count). Instead of flailing, though, he's oddly silent, the only thing betraying the fact that he's seen this at all is the faint thump of the Forge against the table as he puts it down.

For once, he really doesn't know what to say.]

[captainpapa]

[Isshin doesn't reply, he knows when to give his son room and when to smother him. Granted, often times he misses the mark - horribly, but this is one of the times that he hasn't.]
