Chapter 2

Lunara and Kagome walked down the stairs towards Keiko's car. "LuLu, I'm sorry. I honestly didn't think they'd stay the entire night. Honestly I'm really sorry.." Lunara just shrugged as she got into the car, "It's fine Kagome. Just please warn me ahead of time so I'm not tripping over a sleeping Inuyasha. I didn't like almost plummeting to my own demise."

Kagome nodded and got in the back and looked at Keiko, "Well we're ready. Let's go see Lunara's baby on a screen! Ah I love demon pregnancies. They go by so fast and we get to see what is going on!"

Lunara shrugged, 'I still don't know how I feel about it but I'm glad someone is enjoying it as much as I am.' Keiko nodded, "Oh Kagome, Inuyasha said he was going to come back when we we're done." Lunara sighed and they were off to see the doctor.

Meanwhile Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were shifting through some of their old stuff in a storage unit of their father's stuff. Inuyasha pulled a box out of the corner of the unit and sighed, "There is so much stuff, are you sure the box of books is in here?" He said tossing the box to the side, picking up another one. Sesshomaru sighed, "Yes. I am sure it is in here. I pay attention to things that go into the unit unlike you who just tosses items in here." Inuyasha huffed and looked around. As he walked towards the door he looked at a box sitting next to a rocking chair.

"Hey Sesshomaru? I think I found it." He said opening the box to find books in it. Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder setting the box he had down.

"Yup, that's the box. Let me see it." He said as he strolled over to where Inuyasha was. They put the box on top of another box and looked in it. Sesshomaru moved books around until he found a journal. Looking at the leather bound book he smirked. "Well I got what I came for, when are you going back to Kagome's?" Inuyasha looked at his brother and back at the book.

"Later after Lunara's doctors appointment. What is that book?" He tried to read the cover but failed miserably at it. Sesshomaru walked out of the unit and smiled, "A present."

Lunara sat uncomfortably on the table at the doctors office, patiently waiting for the doctor to come do a sonogram. She insisted that Kagome and Keiko wait outside since she didn't want them to see anything that might make them both uncomfortable.

The doctor knocked before walking in, making sure she was decent before hand, "Well hello there Lunara. How are you faring?" Lunara looked at him and smiled, "I'm great, other than the bulge I'm starting to gain." Her doctor smiled and looked over her chart, "Well I see you're here for a sonogram, let's get to it so you can see that baby of yours." He stated with a smile.

Lunara watched him as he called a nurse in to get a sonogram done, while the doctor prepared her for it she felt uncomfortable to know when she got home Inuyasha would be there, 'It's like a never ending presence. Why can't he just leave my apartment already. His brother is always with him too! But I can't help but feel a weird connection to Sesshomaru, it's throwing my powers off." She looked for a moment and sighed laying down. "Alright, this will be kind of cold." He said squirting some of the jelly on her stomach. She shivered a bit before collecting herself as he pressed a want on her stomach.

Looking through the grainy image she spotted a little bubble. "Alright miss, here is the babies head." He said pointing to a little bubble, but as he did he stopped for a second. Looking over he gasped, "So Lunara. I found something interesting." He said continuing to look at the screen.

Lunara freaked out a bit, looking at the screen, "What is it? Is my baby okay?" She said flailing her arms around. The doctor sighed, "Lunara it's fine, I just learned you are having twins." He said pointing at the multitude of 10 bubbles on the screen. "Each of them has a tail. So obviously this will be a short pregnancy." He said taking the wand away from her stomach, wiping the gel from her stomach and handing her a book from the counter. She looked at it and smiled, "Can I leave now?" She asked looking at the book.

He smiles and pushed a picture into the book. "Yup, you're free to leave. I'll see you in 6 months." With a smile he opened the door for her. Lunara walked out and saw Kagome looking down the hall in anticipation. Keiko watched from outside and smiled when Lunara came out jumping up and down in joy. "Well LuLu? How is the little bundle?" Kagome smirked, "Keiko I think you mean the little bundles."

Keiko looked lost for a moment before Lunara shoved a photo in her face, "I'm having twins!" She said and squealed after her sentence. Keiko covered her ears, 'I'm sure she just gave me 4 years of ear damage.' but looking at her smiled, "I'm happy for you LuLu. Are we ready to go home then?" Lunara and Kagome nodded, walking towards the car in happy skips. Keiko just smiled, pulling the keys from her pocket getting in the car and starting it.

Lunara looked at Keiko and sighed, "Keiko I'm hungry. Can we get something to eat before you have to go to work please?" She asked looking at her with wide eyes. Keiko looked over and back towards the road, "LuLu you know I can't deny anything you ask for." Lunara squealed again as they went to the bakery where they go at least one a day.

After they got cake and ate they headed home, "Well I have to be to work at 6 and it's 3:45. I am going to take a small nap then I'll be going." Keiko said as they walked up the stairs. Pulling out her keys she went to unlock the door but heard noises inside. Turning the knob she was greeted with Inuyasha on the floor.

Kagome looked over Keiko's shoulder, "Uhm. Inuyasha?" He looked at her with a 'Please don't ask' look as he got up and rubbed his head. They walked in to see Sesshomaru sitting in the dinning room. Lunara walked over to Inuyasha and sighed, "So, Kalu is asleep?"

Inuyasha nodded, "How is your baby?" Lunara's face lit up like Christmas, "I thought you'd never ask!" She said shuffling through her bag pulling out the sonogram photo, "I'm having twins!" She yelled in excitement as she shoved the picture into his face. He huffed and took the picture from her, "Whoa! They both have tails? Sweet!" He said cooing at the picture and looking at Kagome who was heading to the room he had put Kalu down for a nap in.

Keiko retreated to her room to nap for a moment. Leaving Lunara alone in the same room as Sesshomaru. After a few moments of uncomfortable silence Sesshomaru cleared his throat, "So you're having twins?" He said without looking at her. She broke from her concentrated stare and looked at him. "Uhm, yeah." She said shuffling to the table and sitting across from him.

She looked at him carefully and realized he had a book under his arm. "What's that Sesshomaru?" She asked looking for a reaction but got nothing. He pushed the book towards her, "It's a journal of my mother's experience with pregnancy. You said you didn't know the father right? So this will give you a semi idea of what is going to happen." He said as he got up from the table and walked to the fridge.

Lunara looked at the book with a curiosity before picking it up. She was a real sucker for books and this journal was a leather bound glory like an antique. Sesshomaru just skimmed through the fridge before pulling the orange juice out and chugging the rest of it, Setting the empty container back into the fridge closing the door. Lunara looks up and sighs, "Sesshomaru, can you hand me a glass? I can't put my arms above my head." She asks walking to the fridge.

Sesshomaru nods pulling a glass out, watching Lunara pull the orange juice out. Before he could blink he feels her aura rising and pushing against him. "Oh. My. God." Sesshomaru looks at her and starts frowning. "Sesshomaru.." She says looking at the container. He backs up a bit, "Yes?" Her aura keeps pushing against him "Did you drink the last of the orange juice...?" He cleared his throat and nodded, "Sesshomaru. I will kill you!"

She yells as she throws the container at his face. "That was the one thing I wanted!" She says stomping off to the bathroom with Sesshomaru right behind her. His tails goes to wrap around her until he feels an excruciating pain on his tail. Looking at his tail he realizes it's stuck in the door. Knocking on the door, "Lunara.. My tail is stuck in the door. Will you please open it?" He turns the knob but it's locked. After a few moments of silence he hears the water running. Knocking again, "What do you want Sesshomaru!" He hesitates to answer, "My tail. It's stuck." He says again as he wiggles the end of it.

Lunara looks over from the bathtub at the tail. She smirks, "Well Sesshomaru, I'm taking a nice. Long. Relaxing bubble bath. You'll have to wait." She says while she starts shaving her legs. He sighs and plops down on the ground in front of the door. Inuyasha walks in from Kagome's room to witness Sesshomaru's tail being stuck in the door. Cautiously looking at him, "Uh, Sesshomaru? What happened?"

He looks at his brother with a 'Please don't ask' look on his face as he growls a bit. Inuyasha backs up a bit and goes back in Kagome's room, locking the door behind him. Sesshomaru thinks to himself for a bit, 'What is with these people and locking doors!?'

"Well it's 4:43 I mean how long can she be in a bubble bath?" He says as he pulls out his phone.

An hour passes by before Keiko emerges from her bedroom in her work uniform with her hair in a small bun. She yawns a bit and walks towards the bathroom to see Sesshomaru sitting on the ground. She just stares for a bit before she approaches him, "Get your tail stuck in the door?" He just nods and continues looking at his phone.

She sighs a bit before getting up and walking towards the door, "Sesshomaru. If she's taking a bubble bath she'll be in there a while. 2 to 3 hours at most. Try texting her. She probably fell asleep in the bath. It's quite relaxing." She says as she walks out the door with car keys in hand.

Heeding her advice he scrolls through his contacts until he reaches Lunara's number. Pulling up the text page he texts her and listens at the door hearing a ding and the swish of water. Lunara opens the text and reads it:

Sesshomaru: Lunara, will you please let my tail free? You didn't need the orange juice anyways. It will only make you bigger.

Upon reading this message Lunara's aura skyrocketed.

Pushing through out the whole apartment enough to make Inuyasha fall off Kagome's chair. "Sesshomaru!" She yells and makes him wince. Hearing stomping and the click of the lock she slammed the door open. "Did you just call me fat!?" She said as a crescent moon appeared on the crook of her neck before disappearing. Sesshomaru looked at her and questioned the mark that appeared on her neck. "What?" Sesshomaru asked standing up. "Let's get this straight ice prick, I'm only pudgy cause I'm pregnant!"

She says as she glares at him, towel barley covering her newly formed stomach. Before she exits the bathroom he stares at her body, "Lunara.. you're chest is bothersome." He says scrolling through his phone again. She stares at him, with an anger greater than she can describe. She walks back into the bathroom, pulling the shower rod off the wall. She walks back out, "Hey Sesshomaru?" He looks up at her before being clocked in the face with a metal stick, "Stay away from me!" She yells stomping to her room and closing the door.

Kagome walks out after hearing the problems outside, "Uh Sesshomaru. You're gonna be mad." She says looking at the rod on the floor. He looks up at her and nods. "Sesshomaru. You have to pay to replace that." She says as she quickly closes her door before he starts screaming and punches a hole in the wall.

Listening to the silence for a few moments before hearing Lunara yell from her room, "You have to pay for that too you jerk!" Sesshomaru covers his face with frustration and walks out the apartment to his car before driving away to keep himself from being hit again. As he's driving he thinks through the events of earlier and back to the crescent moon on Lunara's forehead. 'I've seen that somewhere before but where..' He looks to his passenger seat where his phone lights up with a text from Inuyasha:

Halfwit sibling: You know, you didn't have to call her fat. She's emotional.

Sesshomaru: I didn't mean it to come out like that!

He never got a reply back but he still felt bad at how it sounded.

BACK AT THE APARTMENT

Lunara was sitting in her room scrolling through her emails on her laptop when she noticed an email from the very popular art museum. She looked at it for a while before opening it and was shocked at it's contents:

Dear Miss Crescent,

Lunara looked over the email four more times before she realized what it meant, she started screaming and bouncing on her bed, "Oh my god I can't believe this! I'm so happy!" She stopped bouncing when she realized Inuyasha and Kagome were standing in the door way in their pajamas. "Lu, it's midnight, Inuyasha has work in the morning.." Kagome said wiping her face.

Lunara looked at her and sighed, "Kagome. I don't care. I'm in a happy mood. Where is Sesshomaru, I want orange juice and he's the only one with a car." Kagome waddled back to her room half asleep but Inuyasha just stood there, "He left, I don't know where he went. Text him." With that he closed Lunara's door and went back to bed.

Lunara sighed and picked up her phone before dialing Sesshomaru's number. It rang 3 times before he answered, "Hello. Sesshomaru speaking." Lunara sighed, "Sesshomaru, it's Lunara. Can you pick up some orange juice? I really want some."

Sesshomaru's eyes went wide at the fact that she had called him. Thinking for a moment he nodded, "Ya I can." Lunara looked at her phone and made a sound before hanging up. Sesshomaru just looked at his phone for a moment before throwing it into the passenger seat and driving to the nearest store. 'This is going to be a long night.'
