"Look, Sessh, look!" Akiya shouted from the kitchen, smiling at her accomplishment.

"What is it?" Sesshomaru asked. He walked into the kitchen, only to see his wife's big accomplishment was sitting a bowl of cold ramen with hot sauce on her large belly. The hanyou became giddy at the fact that she could eat on her belly. The youkai shook his head and smiled at the display. It was adorable, in a way, that she was in awe at how large her stomach was. However, in a few days they would be parents.

"Pretty neat trick! Right, babe!?" she asked, eating the ramen. Since Sesshomaru found out that Akiya was pregnant, he noticed how beautiful she looked carrying his seed. She was always glowing and had a smile, more often when she was rubbing her growing belly.

"Sure is." he answered, giving her belly a playful pat. Akiya may have been the happiest pregnant woman he had ever come across. If she was fed what she wanted, when she wanted it, she would be happy. He would also give her a hug and kiss to reassure that she was still pretty.

"Do you think I'm fat?" the hanyou asked, tilting her head to the side like she always did with most questions.

"You're pregnant." he pointed out.

"But do you think I'm fat?"

"You were never all that small. Plus, I kinda like this new figure on you, Ki." he said, softly kissing her pouting lips. No matter how big his mate got during her pregnancy, he still found her attractive, and what could be more attractive than a woman carrying a man's child for six whole months? (In this story demon and hanyou pregnancy lasts six months)

"I know I was never skinny, but do you really still find me sexy?" she asked, breaking the kiss. Bright Balinese eyes bore into his golden eyes, looking for an answer. Even though Sesshomaru still showed her affection, she put on at least twenty pounds and felt less sexy.

"Hmm... you know what?" he asked, nibbling on her ear, sliding her off the chair she was sitting on.

"Hm?"she responded, oblivious to the foreplay her husband was giving her.

"They say pregnant sex is the best sex. I believe that is true, but I seemed to have forgotten since a certain kitty has been denying me."

"What?" she murmured. He rolled his eyes at the fact she didn't notice what he was saying and that she was being carried up the stairs to the master bedroom. He continued teasing her earlobe the whole way up.

Sesshomaru gently sat Akiya down on the bed covered with red and white silk sheets. He sat next to her, rubbing her aching lower back.

"Mmm, how did you know?" she asked, letting out a loud purr at his ministrations.

"Lucky guess." he joked, bringing up his hand so his claws could run up and down her delicate back. The purrs got even louder and he could smell her arousal. For the last two months, the couple had not had sex and he needed to have her at least one more time before she had the baby.

"You smell nice..." she purred, pulling Sesshomaru in for a kiss. First, it started just as a few pecks, but gradually got more intense. Their tongues danced and hands were running over heated skin. Sesshomaru's hand went to remove her large green t-shirt, then...

"I-I think my water broke!" Akiya shouted, pushing away her mate only to yank him back so he could help her up. Out of all the times the baby wanted to come out, it was right when its father wanted to get laid.

"Let's get you to the car." he said, effortlessly carrying his wife bridal style. He ran though the mansion to alert Chi-Chi and Rin to get into the car. Finding the girls was no problem since the only things you could hear in the hall were camera flashes and giggling.

"Girls, it's time!" Sesshomaru shouted though the hall, running toward Rin's room. As soon as he spoke, the two girls were out in the hall, fretting over the hanyou.

"I think I just had a contraction!" Akiya shouted, gripping her husband's shoulder tighter with her manicured claws. Nervously nodding his head, he ordered the girls to time the contractions while they all rushed to the minivan Akiya bought for their growing family.

The group, all packed in the van, rushed to Tokyo Hospital, swerving through traffic. Rin and Chi–Chi sat in the back of the van, trying to coach the pregnant woman.

"Just breathe, Mom. In and out, in and out." Rin ordered, wiping the sweat off her stepmother's brow with small, nervous hands.

"Rin, never grow up and start having sex, 'cause you'll end up like me- AHH!!!" she shouted, as another contraction hit.

"Uncle, they're ten minutes apart!", Chi-Chi yelled just as Sesshomaru drove up at the entrance of the hospital. He grabbed his wife and ran inside the hospital, leaving the car door open with the two girls tagging behind, gaining the attention of one of the doctors. A short deer youkai came to their aid and told Sesshomaru to put Akiya on one of the stretchers. The doctor and a nurse rushed the hanyou to the youkai maternity ward.

"Moushi, moushi?" Inari asked, picking up the phone.

"Ma, aunt Ki is having the baby! We're at Tokyo Hospital!" Chi-Chi yelled on the other line.

"God dammit, child! Didn't I tell you it's rude to- WHAT!? My baby sister is having her baby!? I'll be right there!" the demoness screamed, hanging up the phone without warning. Rushing through the house, Inari grabbed her son and woke her husband from his sleep to inform him of the news.

"Oh my God! I'm gonna be an auntie!" she squealed, running around her home to gather things her youngest sibling might need before and after the birth. Michael rolled his eyes at his wife's forgetfulness; she already had six nieces and nephews from both his and her family members and most of the things she was grabbing would already be at the hospital.

"Sweetie, you don't need to bring rubber gloves, I think they already have them at the hospital." he said, putting the curvaceous woman and their son in each arm, carrying them both to the car.

"Aunt Kagome, Ki is having the baby!" Rin shouted from the payphone. She grabbed the unwanted attention of the entire waiting area. Usually, she would've used her cell phone, but she was on punishment.

"She's what!? Oh my, Kami! Don't worry, I'll call everyone and tell them! How is she doing?"

"Fi-."

"How far are the contractions?"

"About-."

"Darn Rin, why aren't you answering any questions?" the miko asked the child, oblivious to the fact she was interrupting Rin before she could answer the questions. Ready to ask another question to be interrupted, Rin hung up the phone before Kagome could do so and tiredly took a seat next to her best friend/step-cousin.

Kikiyo groaned at the sound of her cell phone ringing. She buried her face deeper into the grey pillows, trying to block out the aggravating sound of the phone.

'Damn, I'd think since I hired top chefs, they could handle the restaurant alone for three days.' she thought to herself. That stupid phone kept ringing. Why couldn't she just rest in peace? The weight of the bed shifted as the body sleeping next to her grabbed the phone from hell and answered it.

"Yes?"

"Who is this?" Kagome asked the male voice on the other line.

"It's-it mmm.", the male voice stuttered.

"Whatever. Just tell Kikiyo that Akiya is having her baby!" she said, then hanged up the phone.

"Wait... Akiya's having her baby! Kikiyo, wake up! We have to get dressed!" Suikotsu yelled, shaking the half sleeping woman next to him. It took a moment for her to respond until what her lover said had registered in her head.

"Oh, Kami!" she jumped from the bed nude, making a sprint to the bathroom.

"Jr., are you calling your grandmas?" Inari asked from the passenger's seat of the dark blue jeep zooming through the streets of Tokyo.

"Yes, mommy." the young boy said, already using the address book on his father's cell phone. The first one he contacted was Ivonne.

"Hello!?" a grumpy voice asked. It must've been late in New York, hearing the angry tone in her voice.

"Hi, grandma!" Michael jr. said, ignoring his grandmother's agitation.

"Well, hi, baby. What is it?" she asked, with concern in her voice.

"Auntie Ki is having a baby." he calmly replied, holding the phone with his chubby fingers.

"Oh my God! Baby, is your mother busy?" Ivonne asked. The little boy shook his head as if they were talking in person and handed the phone to his jittery mother.

"Yeah?" Inari asked.

"Are you at the hospital?"

"No, we're on our way now. I hear she's doing fine, though."

"Thank God. I feel so bad missing my youngest child have a baby of her own." Ivonne said, choking out a soft sob. The woman wanted to be there for the birth, but with the daycare opening back up, two children in the house, and one away at school to worry about, there was no way for her to leave to Japan.

"It's okay, Mom, we've got it covered." Inari said, trying to cheer up her mother. But she was right, Akiya had a host of family members coming to the hospital to support her.

"I know you do. Remember to take plenty of pictures and send them to me right away."

"I will... Ma, we just pulled up at the hospital, I'll keep you posted."

"You fucking bastard! How could you do this to me!?" Akiya screamed her face bright red as her contractions got closer together. Her husband was the cause of all of this pain. If he could just keep his dick in his pants this would never had happened. It felt as if a heavy bowling ball wanted to come out instead of a baby.

"Shhh. Ki, calm down..." Sesshomaru said, trying to calm down his wife, gently stroking her messy, pressed hair.

"You try pushing a person out of your body!" she shot back as another contraction hit. The doctor, whose name they found out was Dr. Tanaka, ran into the room with two nurses, both stork youkai, ready to deliver the baby.

"Okay, Mrs. Taishou, looks like this baby wants to come out." the deer youkai said, readying herself for the delivery. One of the nurses led Sesshomaru out of the room to put on protective gear for the birth.

"Please give me some drugs!" the hanyou cried out in pain.

"Give her some morphine!" the doctor yelled as she checked how dilated Akiya was.

"Where is my mate!? That son of a bitch-!" Akiya yelled, but stopped her tirade early as the drug took effect. "Where is he?" she whined with tears brimming from the corners of her eyes.

"Right here. You okay?" Sesshomaru asked, taking her hand. The youkai was dressed in a blue, disposable hospital gown, his hair was pulled back into a ponytail and he had a mask covering his nose and mouth.

"I thought I scared you away." she answered in a soft but scared voice.

"I promise I wont leave you." softly kissing her sweaty cheek. A sharp pain then shot through Akiya's lower body.

"I see the head!" the doctor shouted. (Sorry I don't know how the birth process exactly goes, just work with me.)

"How is she doing?!" Gin worriedly asked one of the nurse's that left the hospital room. Never in her long life had she been so nervous. That little hanyou once again grabbed another person's heart.

"Fine, everything is going fine."

Inside the waiting area of the hospital, there were close to twenty or even more people waiting for the newest member of the Taishou/Nakamura family. Inari sat quietly praying that the mother and baby were well while her mate held their sleeping son. Inuyasha paced around the waiting area along with Inutaisho and Akil. Shiro tapped his foot on the floor while his mate/fiancee rubbed his back for comfort. The entire group said no words; they all anxiously waited for the new arrival.

Kikiyo and Suikotsu broke the silence and rushed inside the waiting area hand in hand, grabbing everyone's attention.

"Kikiyo, who was the man that answered your phone?" Kagome asked, trying to get her mind off worrying about Akiya for a moment.

"Um-it-I... How is Ki doing?" the woman stammered, turning beet red. Looking down, Kagome noticed that the couple were still holding hands. Deep down, she knew something was up. Since the wedding, her cousin has been happier and she remembered Akiya saying that Suikotsu was acting different as well.

"Me!" the white tiger youkai blurted out. Both his younger brothers looked up at him in disbelief. Never before had Suikotsu hid something from his brothers. Why did he hide his relationship with Kikiyo?

The restaurant owner lowered her head in shame. The relationship between them was supposed to be a secret; it was just supposed to be sex. However, it seemed to take a different turn: romantic dinners at home, walks through the park, ones far from Tokyo, and quiet nights watching movies. She didn't want to get hurt again, Naraku left a scarred heart and Suikotsu was quickly healing it. The shy pediatrician showed her kindness that no one ever showed her and as much as Kikiyo loved it, it also scared her.

"Why were you hiding it from us?" Kagome asked.

"I don't know..." Kikiyo whispered. Her younger cousin was about to ask more, but Inuyasha put a hand over her shoulder, shutting her up with the glare he gave. It was neither the time nor place to figure out why the two kept their relationship hidden, or for Kagome to play Dr. Phil. After an awkward silence, everything went back to normal and the couple in question went off into a corner.

Suikotsu wrapped his strong arms around the slim woman. Arms made for healing held so much strength. Resting his chin on the crook of her neck, he softly kissed her cheek.

"I love you." he whispered avoiding her gaze, afraid of rejection. Slowly, Kikiyo turned around and wrapped her thin arms around his waist and she looked lovingly into his brown eyes.

"I love you, too... I hope you're not mad."

"We both have our reasons, now it's out."

"You're right." slowly, Kikiyo kissed his cheek.

"Okay, give me one more big push!" Dr. Tanaka yelled, holding the head of the baby. Just another push, and the baby would be in the world.

"Ahhh!" Akiya yelled as she pushed out the baby. Sesshomaru stayed at her side holding her hand while she almost broke his.

"Congratulations, you have a little girl!" the doctor said, holding the bloody, wailing baby in her arms. "Would you like to cut the umbilical cord, Mr. Taishou?" she asked.

"Yes." leaving his mate to look at his daughter. A nurse handed him a pair of scissors and he cut the cord, connecting the baby to her mother. There were so many emotions that ran through Sesshomaru's head. As they took his daughter to get cleaned up, realization hit him that he helped bring a new life, another living creature into the world. Turning back to look at his tired mate, he felt a swell of pride, he would never know the pain she went through giving birth, and carrying his seed with a smile.

"You did good, Ki." Sesshomaru said, gently rubbing his wife's cheek, leaning into his touch. That was what got her into this situation in the first place, and she could never regret it.

"Thank you...Where's our baby?" Akiya asked, looking up at her mate with big worried eyes.

"Right here. I must say, she's beautiful." the nurse said, carefully setting the sleeping infant in the mother's arms.

"Oh my God, she's so perfect!" Akiya whispered in awe, looking down at her daughter. Silver hair covered her head along with a set of dog ears and two pink stripes on each cheek and wrist. She had yet to open her eyes, leaving her parents to anticipate what color they would be. She weighed seven pounds and three ounces, but she felt lighter in Akiya's arms.

"Beautiful like you." Sesshomaru said, touching his daughter's soft, silver hair.

"She has a lot of your features. Do you want to hold her?"

"She's so small..." almost afraid of how fragile the infant might be.

"You won't drop her." handing the baby to her mate. She stirred in his arms and let out a squeak. Slowly, she opened her eyes and they were gold like his.

"What should we name you?" he asked the infant in his arms. She stared up at her father in awe. Something about Sesshomaru commanded your attention.

"Michiko ..." Akiya said, looking at her daughter. It seemed to fit her. It meant "beautiful", and she was.

"I like that name."

"Um, would you like me to let in your family?" a nurse asked, peeking her head through the door. Both nodded their heads and as soon as the nurse left, the entire group pilled in and surrounded the mother and baby.

"Aww, isn't she precious!?" Izayoi said, looking down at the wide eyed baby in Akiya's arms. Slowly, one by one, Michiko was passed to each family member, each fawning over how cute she was.

Rin stared at her younger sister in amazement. She was so adorable, especially with those doggy ears! She suddenly felt a need to protect the infant. She was so small and precious, now she knew the way her father felt about her.

Lastly, the babe was handed to Gin. The demoness looked down at her granddaughter with pride. She was gorgeous, with the same pink markings as Gin's mother, and gold eyes like most of the Taishou family, but had the same brightness that Akiya's had.

"How do you fall in love with someone you just met?" she whispered to herself. A single tear ran down her cheek. Never in her life could she remember crying, but here, the unemotional youkai was shedding tears of joy for the tiny bundle in her arms.

"Sorry to interrupt, but mommy and baby need rest. Everyone else but daddy and big sister outside." the nurse said to the massive group. They all groaned and said their goodbyes with hugs and kisses to the parents and baby.

"Um, miss, you have to leave." the nurse said to Inari.

"But you said 'big sister'?" she asked, cutely.

"I meant the child." she said, pointing to Rin.

"Oh... Well you should of said that! Ki-chan, I'll be seeing you!" Before she sprinted out the door, Inari took a snapshot of the family with surprised expressions on their faces.

"They're your family." Sesshomaru said, shaking his head with Rin on his lap.

"They're our family." she corrected. "And now we're building one of our own." the hanyou said, smiling at her husband and oldest daughter. Never in her wildest dreams would she believe that she would be so happy. After all she went through in the end, Naraku kept his promise; she would have a beautiful family of her own and she did.
