SSSPPLAAAATTT!!
Kagome looked at the eggs all over the floor and sighed.
"I'm sorry Mama." A little voice squeaked.
"Yeah Mama, me too."
Kagome reached back into the fridge in front of her and grabbed the new carton of eggs that had not collided with the floor by her arguing twins.
"It's alright."
She threw a big smile in their direction and the children calmed when they realized they were going to be spared. Kagome set the new eggs on the counter.
"Ok let's get some chairs to stand on and I'll get the spoons." Both children looked towards their mother and the apparent mess of yolk and egg shells still inhabiting the floor in front of the fridge confusingly. They both shrugged. If she didn't want to address the mess right away who were they to argue?
Both toddlers walked to the kitchen table and pushed their respective chairs to the counter. Clumsily they climbed up on them so they could view what their mother had set out on the counter. The younger of the two gasped when she saw all of the powders and liquids. As well as containers, spoons and bowls.
"Mama is this bwonies?" Her son asked. Before Kagome could answer the toddler had taken the baking powder and began to sniff.
"Wait," was all she got out before a huge sneeze erupted from the boy covering all three of them in a nice film of white powder.
"Ewww, Mama I thought you said bwonies were good." Her daughter said as she wiped the white powder from her face. Kagome giggled.
"It's not a brownie yet, we have to mix it first."
Not at all discouraged Kagome began to measure, allowing her children to pour with a helping hand from their mother. But, alas, all was not going as smooth as she would have hoped her daughter had spilled the oil all over the counter which caused her son's arm to slip while pouring the vanilla extract. Which caused Kagome to attempt to catch the falling bottle but she toppled over the bowl spilling all of its contents.
On the second attempt all had gone well except when the girl went to use the mixer the speed was too high causing brownie mix to be flung all over the kitchen as well as the cooks. Her children's hair was now speckled with brown dots as well as their clothes and skin. Kagome was not in better shape nor was the kitchen. Her mate was going to be mildly upset when he came home. The third time had gone much much better. The pups had finally got the hang of the crazy contraptions and substances. They had finally gotten the mixture in a baking pan and into the oven.
They were a complete mess. Kagome had only planned for this to take an hour at most but their entire afternoon had been absorbed by the mess making and baking. Her son looked at her with hope in his eyes.
"Mama are we done making bwonies now?" he said as his sister affirmed her feelings as well.
"Yeah, Mama no more." She whined. Kagome picked her toddlers up.
"Do you want to watch it bake now?" She asked her tired children. As long as she held them they did not care so they readily agreed. So there they were one miko and two hanyos covered in brownie mix, oil, baking powder, and vanilla, plopped down in front of an oven to watch a very time consuming and expensive pan of brownies bake.
Sesshomaru walked through his front door and doffed his shoes, confused by the absence of his children and mate. He walked through their usual hang outs, the play room, the backyard, the living room, then he felt the stirrings of panic.
'Oh please don't be in the kitchen.' He thought then the smell of baking hit his nose and he groaned. Nothing prepared him for the sight before him, the kitchen was in shambles. Ingredients everywhere and yet he did not see the culprits. He walked and then the most disgusting feeling he had felt in at least one hundred years hit him as he felt crunching and some sort of liquid between his toes.
He growled when he saw that he had just stepped on half a dozen broken eggs taking up residence in front of his refrigerator. As he rounded the island in his kitchen he chuckled at the sight of his mate and children covered head to toe in kami knows what, sleeping on the floor in front of the oven. He looked at the timer his mate had set. He noticed if he removed the brownies from the oven they would be edible seeing that his mate was indisposed at the moment. After removing them he set them on the stove to cool. Sesshomaru bent down at eye level with the woman that had caused him so much trouble the last few years. He leaned in close and licked the batter from off the tip of her nose.
Kagome's eye fluttered open at the actions of her mate. She smiled and whispered.
"We made brownies."
"Hai, that is apparent." Sesshomaru said as he picked her up and placed her into his lap. She giggled when she looked down to his feet and saw one of their many mishaps peeking through his toes.
Sesshomaru frowned at her.
"I have always believed that our pups received their ungainly behavior from their mother, and this kitchen, my mate, proves this Sesshomaru's point. Though I loathe to admit." as he moved his toes, now sticking together, about.
"This Sesshomaru may have had a minor contribution as well."
