Sorry for the wait and yes I'm aware this is short but the next chapter is the birth, so that should be much longer.
A sigh left soft pink lips when the white-haired demon felt eyes staring at him once more for the twentieth time in the last five minutes. Izayoi has been following him around all day, probably hoping that the baby will die since she is the jealous type. Sesshoumaru quickly focused his eyes on a rabbit hopping along a path when she walked up behind him and sat down beside him.
"Why don't you just leave or kill it already?" she asked bluntly and Sesshoumaru felt furious at the suggestion of killing the child for some reason. He tried to brush it off but he couldn't help it and his anger only got more intense for the woman until he had to refrain himself from killing her.
"I suggest you leave me, Izayoi." Sesshoumaru said harshly, hoping she'd get the hint but she didn't seem to and only egged him on even more.
"Why won't you...? You've even said it yourself; you hate the baby and my mate so do us all a favor." Izayoi said and before she saw it coming a hand was around her neck and Sesshoumaru's opposite hand was glowing an eerie green.
"I said leave." He hissed before he began to strike her with his posion hand but when his name was shouted he threw Izayoi into the closest wall he could see and instantly Inutaisho had rushed over to her, making sure she was alright. She was out cold but seemed to be fine.
"What was that!?" Inutaisho hissed at Sesshoumaru as he whipped around with red tinged eyes and Sesshoumaru shrugged. "You do not have the right to touch my mate!"
"Oh fuck you!" Sesshoumaru shouted before he turned to leave but hissed in pain when he felt a tight grip on his arm, turning him around where he slapped the Lord right across his face. "Don't touch me, ever."
"Why did you hurt her Sesshoumaru?" Inutaisho asked a moment after he had calmed.
"Your mate is a bitch." He stated before he yanked his arm back and headed back for his room to get away from them both and was pleased and yet disappointed when Inutaisho didn't stop him again.
"Four more weeks, only four more weeks," Sesshoumaru thought as he touched his stomach which had expanded even more. He was much larger than any of the other pregnant inuyoukai's he'd met before and was actually scared there would be more than one. "I should probably talk to Inutaisho about that..."
With that thought on his mind Sesshoumaru turned around and went in search of the baby's father, who was attempting to wake up his unconscious mate at the moment and didn't even seem to notice Sesshoumaru approaching behind him until he was hit with a delicious scent of strawberries.
"What do you want now Sesshoumaru?" he asked as he rubbed his face tiredly.
"Am I bigger than I should be?" he asked and Inutaisho turned to him with a puzzled expression on his face before his eyes went wide when Sesshoumaru moved his kimono so he could see the large stomach and he dumbly nodded. "By how much?"
"Inuyoukai usually only gain about 20 pounds and basketball stomach," He told him and Sesshoumaru looked down at his stomach which looked like two big basketballs and groaned. "We can go see a healer now; I need to take Izayoi anyways."
Sesshoumaru only looked away from the glare he received at the end and began to walk towards the 'clinic' where the healer seemed to spend most of her days and Sesshoumaru found himself wondering how busy she would be with two little kids running around and getting cuts and bruises. He quickly pushed those thoughts out of his mind and entered the room and took a seat on the soft bed that was located in there.
"Oh, Sesshoumaru, what's going on?" Yuzuma asked as she entered the room.
"I need to know how many I'm carrying." He said as Inutaisho came into the room and laid Izayoi on the other bed across from Sesshoumaru and sighed in relief when he put her down.
"Can you check her for me? Sesshoumaru threw her into a wall." Inutaisho said and Yuzuma only nodded faintly before focusing on Sesshoumaru.
"How many do you think you're carrying?" she asked as she gathered some herbs and began to mix them together until they were a white paste and she looked up when Sesshoumaru didn't answer.
"I don't know." He said as she told him to open his kimono and Inutaisho was instantly next to him and watching her carefully, which made her chuckle.
"I can promise you Lord Inutaisho, I am doing nothing to harm him. This will only tell us how many there are." She said and he frowned.
"How?" he asked and Sesshoumaru looked like he was thinking the exact same thing.
"The babies will glow." She said and Sesshoumaru's eyes went wide.
"It won't hurt them will it?" he asked and the other two looked genuinely shocked at the question but she shook her head.
"No, it only shows on your skin and it doesn't touch them, it just shows their outlines." She said as she rubbed it onto his stomach and he scowled when it was cold they waited a couple minutes before a faint blue radiated from the stomach and Sesshoumaru was relieved to only see one before another blue figure appeared and he almost started crying. Twins. He was having twins.
