Hmm Grimmjow acting just like a kitty before the egg hatched was cute. Love Szayel peeking in on the birth ... it is so him. If the baby needs to nurse you'd think Grimmjow, being the mama, would have developed the ability ... or is it a case that the baby can consume both meat and milk but will opt for milk if it is available? Poor Szayel, I'm surprised he didn't suddenly find himself laying in a stinky puddle of his own waste material when the kitten toddled up and latched on to nurse from him ... hope Grimmjow lets the nests be merged for comfort and convenience (don't want the baby's food provider too far away or getting sick from the cold). Hmmm men, you just never learn the value of communication and getting to know each other ... if you did then that one little tidbit of information might have been made known a bit sooner. Grimmjow you are a bit slow on the uptake but you are soooooo funny when you finally figure things out. The baby kitty sounds pretty ... and a boy ... bet Grimmjow and Ichigo are both tickled pink, even if Grimmjow is a bit miffed about the cub bonding with Szayel. Hmmm .... wonder if Kisuke can express enough milk from Szayel to develop some hollow baby formula as well as manufacture and improve upon the 'taffy packet' food substitute of Szayel's. Still worried about that movement that was noticed in the last chapter ... it might be safer in the human world hidden in Kisuke's underground training area (with the rest of the food supplies and a few hollow corpses stashed in a deep freeze for emergency use so Kisuke has time to get started on making more food packets and developing some formula too.

Ok ... Hmmm ... We know Ichigo can manifest his other parts ... but the question is ... can they force manifestation when he's asleep? Provided they feel strongly enough to try ... like H'Tsu being so furious at Szayel for admitting having had a crush on Grimmjow .... and his body language saying the crush is as strong as ever ... H'Tsu seems to be rather possessive at times and very easily pissed off, especially if the person upsetting him is his 'pretty pet' Szayel. If H'tsu did manifest would he limit himself to punishing Szayel or would he try to usurp Ichigo's authority and punish Grimmjow too for simply having been a temptation to Szayel at any time (and because he'd see Grimmjow as a rival)? And, if running free, would H'tsu go so far as to try to attack the egg? I'm sure if he did any of the above Ichigo would find a way to restrain him even if it required he and Zangetsu take opposite sleep shifts to keep a constant eye on him ... and no chance of unescorted marker refreshing even being considered ...

Hmm ... I get the feeling that Szayel wasn't really very interested in his first alpha and it was strictly an arrangement of convenience. It also seems like the first pack alpha that caught his interest, and his first non-existent heart fluttering crush, was our lovely blue-haired bishi Grimmjow. I also get the feeling he left the pack because his non-existent heart was starting to break because his interest wasn't returned by the breath-taking 'older' male. It's going to be interesting to see how Grimmjow's attitude changes now that he knows:
1. How Szayel felt, and possibly still feels, about him.
and
2. How young Szayel really is, and the possibility that HE was Szayel's first (maybe only) crush because he's so young.
It's possible that the later conversation that we don't know explained how Szayel's first alpha was a pairing of convenience for them both and no real feelings were involved. Also the fact that Szayel is a naturally born beta and couldn't really initiate the situation in any way but by interesting his chosen alpha. That might also affect Grimmjow's perspective a bit.
It would also be interesting to find out how all three aspects of Ichigo feel about the recent revelations concerning feelings and past interactions.
Love how the cub has all ready taken an acceptance of (if not liking to) Szayel.
Still hoping to see Szayel have a scare that he might be close to another miscarry. Would be kind of interesting if, once the slightly larger than normal egg is laid, it is discovered that Szayel is gonna be a mommy of ... twins. (let Grimmjow be a bit jealous of that ... lol).
Hmmm ... and the individuals that were detected .... not a good thing .... Guess Ichigo 'forgot' to mention it to Grimmjow? We all know Grimmjow's protective mama instincts would have put him in full defense mode as soon as that tidbit of info was shared ... leading to a not so mellow kitty regardless of his recent caffeine fix.
(he is definitely addicted to caffeine if he mellows out that fast upon getting it and he's willing to let Ichigo focus on Szayel to some degree while he (Grimmjow) focuses on his coffee ...)

I honestly think my favorite scene so far is Grimmjow figuring out that Szayel was (and possibly still is) interested in him ~ that way ... (and of course Szayel being all bashful about it).
That is closely followed by Grimmjow and Ichigo finding out that Szayel is barely older than a cub himself in hollow terms, and is probably younger than Ichigo's dad would be if he were human and not Shinigami.
Third (also a very close runner up) is Grimmjow letting an awed Szayel 'pet' the egg ... and Szayel reacting like a little girl being allowed near a newborn for the first time ... after being told that it can break easy (that's why daddy is afraid to pick it up... lol)

Can't wait to see the baby.
Who would have thought Grimmjow was addicted to caffeine ... he definitely has the mellow side of an addict once he gets his fix ...
Think Grimmjow was stunned that Szayel had the hollow equivalent of a crush on him ... and apparently still does judging by his reactions. Glad things are starting to go smoother. Wonder if Ichigo will let his little tomcat check out the unexpected opportunity (or will Ichigo insist they remain a monogamous pairing)? Glad the baby appears to like Szayel, that should help everyone get along better too. Am worried by the approaching individuals. Either way ... it looks like Grim-kitty goes for the younger type... And the revelation about how young Szayel is might even bring out a bit of Grimmjow's protective side ... lol ... After this conversation and the revelation concerning their ages he probably sees Szayel as barely beyond being a cub himself (he might even be a bit on the young side to be mating successfully ... another possibility for the earlier losses ... and Grimmjow is old enough to know that ~ and explain it to Szayel, telling him not to be discouraged because he was probably way too I young the first or even second time). If Grimm decides to stay strictly Ichigo, he may choose the role of pseudo-dad for the much younger espada (who had a school-kid crush on him ~ the much older man ~ not so long ago ... lol). Even if they don't get hot and heavy, I'm sure Szayel wouldn't mind some platonic cuddling and snuggling with his crush ...

Oh! This chapter is so cute! It made me grin widely. I now believe coffee is an important factor to made Grimmjow behave nicely. LOL Can't wait to see Cachorro. XD

Kinda hoping it is a chemical and semen presence ... not a physically caused response. It would make a bit more sense that way since it is keyed to the alpha ... and condoms wouldn't be known of in Hueco Mundo ... it would be hillarious to see Ichigo pull out an unused three pack of condoms and have Zangetsu take it 'insise' so that he and Ichigo can (reluctantly and with much disgust) ensure H'Tsu 'fills' it and returns it full and undamaged to be used by Szayel next time ... Being told that he will not be permitted any 'alone time' with Szayel after the way he treated him the last time. Then the look on Szayel's face when told what it is and what it's for ... and him nervously asking for assistance with inserting and breaking the not so firm item ... anyone but H'Tsu ... and all the silent prayers for it to work (you know H'Tsu won't be among the ones praying). I'm sure the condom itself would pique Szayel's interest ... and prompt a request for another journal or two ... and perhaps a sample of that highly fascinating and ... uh ... useful item. Even after he's free of H'Tsu Szayel might find it useful for collecting genetic material for his manipulative experiments ... we know how he is ... and that would be an immediate thought crossing his mind when first told what it is. ... By inserting that into a captured experiment host even HE could eventually be an alpha ... because of his ability to capture and incapacitate the other and then use this fascinating item (that thought might make him so giddy he might swoon with excstacy). I honestly hope baby-Grimji develops a very strong fascination for and attachment to Szayel's egg ... I'd honestly love to see Grimmjow's reaction to his cub boing the cute and clumsy baby walk (so proud of how he's developing) ... and then watching in dismay as the baby crawls into the other nest with a totally terrified Szayel (eyes wide and trembling in the corner ... sure that Grimmjow is going to skin him alive for being so close to the cub), then purring very loudly and happily as it nuzzles and rubs up on the egg (the way cats rub their ears on things to mark their territory and people etc) before curling around it for a nap ... and if daddy gets aggressive while approaching the egg he gets hissed at by an angry cub defending his first claimed property ... lol. (talk about a mortified couple of parents ... I think Ichigo would find the development a bit amusing though ... even Zangetsu might crack a smile at it while H'Tsu's reaction is anybody's guess).
