As they sat around the table, Kagome started the story."Well, Ryo it seems a lot can happen in four months" she laughed and she rubbed her belly. "We started to have some problems with Naraku and defeated him and we started I guess liking each other."

Ryo chuckled.

~~~4 months ago~~

Kagome and Sesshomaru were quite busy after Naraku's takedown. They were making sure that a threat like Naraku wouldn't have a long chance in their lands. So the Lords and Lady made a contract. To eliminate any type of threat the first chance they got to prevent future damages or attacks. They all signed the contract. Kagome and Sesshomaru both only got brief glances at each other at the Meetings. They stayed in touch via email and phone telling jokes or just telling each other about the day. Something like unofficially dating or courting.

Kagome had been thinking about Sesshomaru all day. It was like a bee sting. One sting thought about him brought many more thoughts swarming at her. It was almost like she needed to see…She missed him, no doubt. She sighed and smiled. She was back to her crazy work hours.

Kagome's pager for the ER sounded off as she was doing her paperwork. So she quickly went down the elevator to the ER wing. "What the pro…" She was cut off but a lady yelling her name.

"Ka-GO-ME!" she turned to see Anza slowly walking and holding her back as each contraction came. "They're too frequent" Anza and Kagome became great friends and were like sisters. They talked every chance they got.

"Alrighty then, Nurse Bellman contact any relatives of the birth. Anza I'm going to need you to calm down and breathe." Kagome instructed. Kagome used an aroma herb to calm her down more quickly.

"Kagome…I need to push" Anza said calmly. Kagome understood the urge from her twins well.

"5 more minutes, no pushing yet, ok?" Anza nodded and followed her directions.

An hour and a half later Kagome was handing off Anza's new addition beautiful baby girl Karin Takamoto. Her lavender hair and gray eyes stood out. "She's little like my mate was when he was born." Kagome smiled happily.

"I'll be back later with things for you to sign" with that she walked out to the nurse station, giving Anza and Karin time to bond.

A knock came to the door thirty minutes later. "Anza, I thought we discussed her birth. You were to have her at the house."Sesshomaru said as he and Rin came inside.

"Hush, Sesshomaru, she's sleeping…I wanted Kagome to deliver her." Anza said as she stared down at her baby girl.

"Aunt Anza, she's beautiful." Rin said as she leaned in to see her. "What's her name?"

"Karin" Anza said and little Karin peeked at them with one eye open and the other closed.

"Well, Mama Anza you and little Karin are free to go this evening since everything went perfectly. Be sure to stop by my office to get some baby blankets to cover her …" Kagome had barged in and just started talking and finally noticed Sesshomaru and Rin looking at the baby. Only Sesshomaru stared at her while she rambled off. She had been thinking of him all day and now here he was in the flesh. She couldn't find her words…Dats I lost my train of thought she thought still staring at Sesshomaru. Blankets her beast reminded her. "Right …um, blankets…cover her up good. Well make the rest of the day great!" Kagome walked out the room. Never had is felt so speechless for him. The days and nights that everything started made her feel inseparable from him. She snapped out of her thoughts to see Hojo with flowers walking towards her. She was very shocked.

"Kagome!" Hojo smiled and hugged her. Kagome was still shocked to see him. "I'm back!"

~0~0~

Sesshomaru had been calm through the whole process but his thoughts and beast was getting the best of him. Talk, Talk, Talk! Tell her something. How about lunch…Our treat. His beast went on. So he decided to ask her and went out of the room. "Kago.." He stopped by the scene he saw, Kagome and another man. He growled lightly, Anza heard it and went to the door. Kagome looked rather shocked at the man's appearance. He turned around and went back in the room.

~0~0~

Kagome wasn't with the whole 'surprise I'm back' from Hojo. She turned around ,she thought she heard someone call her name , only to see Sesshomaru going back into the room. Kagome stared at his back. She felt sad for some reason.

"Awh, Kaggie chan come on! You don't have to be so cold hearted with me" Hojo said as he grabbed her arm to turn her around.

"Look…"Kagome paused. "You did enough damage. Go back to that woman you left me for. And I'm not being cold hearted, cold heart would be me having security come escort you out the building."

"Kagome, please I love you. I made a mistake and I want you back." Hojo exclaimed.

"Hojo just like I said you made your decision 5 years ago. Let me go. Do you even know we have kids? Did you listen to the messages I sent you with their names?" Hojo didn't answer. "You didn't really care, did you? I sent you hundreds of emails, texts, calls, and letters … you never responded to not one of them. Hojo, the kids know who you are… but for me it's over. I've moved on and you need to give up the high school games." With that said Kagome left to clear up what Sesshomaru saw. She knocked on Anza's door and asked

"Excuse me, May I please talk to Lord Sesshomaru?" Anza looked at Sesshomaru and he rose with grace. AS soon as he was close in her reach she grabbed him and took him to the supply closet unseen by the humans.

"What is it, Lady Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked emphasizing her title and name.

"What you saw was nothing." Kagome said confidently.

"I am not worried, we are not mated." Sesshomaru knew what he wanted but he wanted to see how she responded to it.

Kagome felt a little hurt and became a little fidget, which Sesshomaru took note of. Tell him, and bash him up beside the head about how you really feel her beast cheered. "Sesshomaru I…." she considered her words. Quickly she said "I'.." She exhaled and blushed. "Hojo…he tried but my heart belongs only to you." She felt like a high school girl again.

Sesshomaru's thought was at it again. Say it Say I love you and want you to be my mate NOW! His beast said. Sesshomaru mentally laughed at his beast bluntness. Hn.

"Kagome…" was all he could say as he lifted up her chin. Imbecile. He gently kissed Kagome once and looked to see her eyes closed. She opened one eye and looked at him, expecting more kissing, only to find him smirking. "The sugar fairy only allows one kiss at the moment." Sesshomaru said.

"There's always room for exceptions." Kagome said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a deep kiss." Suddenly the door opened. Both eyes darted to the door to find Nurse Bellman there.

"Hahaha…oops wrong room…um…Patient Anza Takamoto requests you , Dr. Higurashi " Nurse Bellman said laughed."…So carry on" Kagome blushed. She was caught. Sango would hear about this when she got back from her travels. Sesshomaru spoke first after the door was closed.

"Dinner tomorrow. I'll pick you up …personally." Kagome nodded as her blush became another shade of dark red. She bowed for some reason and walked quickly to Anza's room.

"AH HA! His scent is all over you…Ya'll were close. Very close.." Anza mused as Kagome walked in. Anza smirked I knew that fluffy needed him some Kag space. He's been grumpier then usual after Naraku and not being able to see you. That's not why I asked you her. I need a private number to phone my mate. I can't use any of the phones here."

Is something wrong?" Kagome asked as she pulled out one of her three phones in her pockets. Being a Lady of the North met be accessible 24/7. "Use this one."

"Thanks…no he's on a top secret mission for at a year now and it involved Naraku and another man too. His family is the mutual secret service that each land has. You should know him. He's an Inu-owl youkai. The Owls Takamoto clan has been around since Inu-pops was born. They are the people the lords and ladies refer to when the lands are having problems. He is the Head of the Owl clan since his mother died. They are deemed the wisest youkai out there." She dialed his number and Sesshomaru walked in with a snack for Rin.

"Thank you, daddy." Rin said and munched happily.

"Yes, I'd like to speak to Agent 81219910, please?" Anza said to the operator. "O.k. My code is 81219911. Wife. Age is 347 years old."

"Access granted. One moment please." The operator said.

"Hello, Agent 812 here. How may I help you?" a deep masculine voice said.

"Hun, it's me." Anza said smiling. She laughed at his business like voice.

"My Love, how are you and Kyo?"

"Ryo, we are fine. I have some exciting news! Karin is here. She's so precious. You must come home soon, please and see her at least." Anza pleaded. She hated he had to miss her birth for his duties as head of the clan. "I miss you and so do Kyo."

"I miss you and Kyo more than you know. And now I miss little Karin. I imagine she is quite the beauty. Man…I can't wait to see her. Hang in there for three more months, love. And I'll be home; you'll sense me coming near."

"Ryo… will you tell me where you are?" Anza said.

"I'm sorry, dear but not this time. I can't endanger you or anyone else. Is this a secure line?" Ryo asked. Kagome busied herself with Rin, Sesshomaru and Karin.

"Of course this is a secure line. I'm not that crazy ,you know." They shared a laugh. "Be safe, ok. Come ready to play, Kyo has a whole agenda for you and her to do. I love you, Ryo"

"hahaha, baby girl gets what she wants. I love you more , my love."

"No, I love you more than more."Anza said goofily.

"I love you infinite of infinite more."

"I'll accept that…Just know I love you and take care." Anza said.

"Ok, love. Take care of Karin and Kyo. I will have a day for just them when I get back." Ryo said as he ended the conservation. Hey, what about me a day too? Anza thought. She turned to see Karin fully awake and Sesshomaru's hair in her little hands.

~0~0~

Kagome looked a Ryo as he poked his mate Anza. "She won't stay awake." Ryo said. Anza was curled up next to her mate and happily sleeping. "I remember that day though. I wanted to hop on the nearest airplane and get to them when I heard." He stroked her hair gently. "I would've messed up the entire mission if I did and a lot of things would've come out dreadful. I'm finish with the mission now. I have some time to relax."

"But your priorities are in the right place." Sesshomaru said. "In the end you protected millions of people including your family."

Ryo smiled. "I owe the protection all to you. No harm came to any of them. Thank you, cousin."Ryo bowed."

"Hn…"

"Let's continue this after I put her to bed." Ryo teleported to their room where he tucked in and kissed Anza good night and headed downstairs again. It was close to midnight now.

"So the dinner the next day. What happen?"

"Well….." Kagome started.
