Ichigo and Rukia have a baby fanfiction: How would their friends react to the news of their baby?

Aizen might be initially dismissive, thinking it's just another mortal event. But as he realizes the potential power the baby could possess, he could become envious or see it as a new pawn in his schemes. He might start observing from the shadows, waiting for the right moment to make his move.

Their friends would be really excited. Chad would probably be happy and offer to help with any heavy lifting or physical tasks around the house for when the baby arrives. Uryu might be a bit more reserved but still show his support in his own way, like making some special baby clothes. Rukia would be thrilled and would be constantly visiting, giving Orihime advice on motherhood.

Rick would probably be very protective. He would see the baby as a symbol of hope in their post - apocalyptic world. He might offer extra protection around their living area and ensure they have enough supplies for the baby.

Chad would be a very protective and gentle presence. He would be like an uncle to the baby, always ready to pick the baby up and play with it. His calm and strong nature would make the baby feel safe.

Ban would probably be excited and start thinking about all the fun things he could teach the baby, like how to steal food without getting caught in a humorous way. King might be a bit more reserved at first but then offer to make the most beautiful crib with his powers. Diane would be super excited and offer to babysit all the time, cooing over how cute the baby will be.

Then there are those friends who might be jealous. Maybe they've been trying to have a baby themselves and haven't been successful. So instead of being happy for Emma and Neal, they act a bit cold or distant at first. But as time goes on and they see how much love and care Emma and Neal are putting into raising the baby, they come around and become more supportive.

Nami would probably be shocked at first. She might worry about how this would affect Luffy's journey to become Pirate King. But then she would likely start thinking about practical things like how to take care of the baby on the ship. Sanji would be over the moon, seeing it as an opportunity to cook for a new little life. He might also be a bit jealous that it's Luffy and not him having a baby with Hancock.

Ichigo might become more reliant on Rukia's knowledge of the Soul Society when it comes to teaching their daughter about her heritage. Rukia, in turn, would rely on Ichigo's human - side experiences to give their daughter a well - rounded life. Their relationship would evolve into a partnership in parenting, with mutual respect growing even more.

Some of their friends might be overjoyed. They could offer to help with things like babysitting or bringing over home - cooked meals. Others may be a bit surprised, especially if Jack and Sally hadn't been trying for a baby for long. There could also be friends who are jealous, seeing Jack and Sally start a new chapter in their lives while they may be in a different situation.

Their pirate friends would probably be both excited and a bit clueless. Jack Sparrow might try to give the baby some 'unique' gifts like a small piece of treasure or a strange trinket. Gibbs would offer practical advice on how to keep the baby safe on a ship if they ever take it to sea.
