Recall: Kagome wiped the tears from her eyes.

"He left with out a fight, but it seemed like everyday, he was bugging me at work. He doesn't now because he got transferred somewhere else." Inuyasha was seriously mad. How dare this pansy call his kids half-breeds?

"How did Ichiro and Kimiko find out?"

"Apparently, they heard me yell and were hiding upstairs to see what was wrong." Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her, allowing her to cry on his shoulder.

"Don't worry any more, love. I'll protect my family." Kagome wrapped her arms around him. She was happy that he came back for her. It was a good thing he never met Hobo. Otherwise, he's going to have to kill him where he stands.

Chapter 4: Family Time

The morning sun shined down on Kagome's sleeping form, causing her to walk from her slumber. She inhaled deeply, smelling the new scent on her pillow. Inuyasha. She thought smiling. I missed him a lot. Now he's finally here. She got up from her bed, only to see Kimiko walking in the room holding her teddy bear.

"Hi mommy." She said, jumping on the bed next to Kagome.

"Hey baby." She responded by giving her a hug and a kiss. "You hungry now? Is your brother up?"

"Daddy's fixing breakfast. He told me get you up."

"He did, did he?" She asked, kind of surprised. She had no idea Inuyasha could cook and here he was fixing breakfast… almost like a real family. It brought a smile on her face. Kimiko tugging on her pajama pants interrupted her thoughts.

"Come on mommy." She whined. Kagome picked her up and started to walk towards the kitchen. When she arrived she saw Inuyasha helping Ichiro stir eggs in a bowl.

"Ok I think it's done." Ichiro clapped happily, thinking he knew how to cook. Inuyasha looked up to see Kagome smiling at him, placing Kimiko back on the ground. "Good morning beautiful." He said walking to her.

"Good morning." She said giving him a peck on the lips.

"Mommy!" Ichiro said, grabbing on her pants leg. "Mommy I know how to cook." She picked him up and gave him a big kiss on his cheek.

"That's good honey. What did you and daddy make?"

"Bacon, French toast, sausage, and…" He paused for a minute then turned to Inuyasha. "Daddy, what you making now?"

"An omelet."

"Oh…" He turned back to Kagome. "A 'omete'." She laughed at his mistake.

"Sounds like both of you are having funny with daddy."

"Daddy said we're gonna play at the park." Kagome looked at Inuyasha questionably while he put the finished food on a plate.

"And when was this decided." Inuyasha gave out a laugh before wrapping his arms around her.

"Come on Meme. It's Saturday, I'm sure you don't have work and it's nice out. It seems like a good idea. We eat breakfast, get washed up, go to the park for a while, then get some ice cream."

"ICE CREAM!" The twins shouted, running around the table. Kagome playfully hit him on the shoulder.

"Don't get them started. Do you know how hard it is keeping track of them? It's like they're extra hyper when we go somewhere."

"And that's why I'm there to help." She rolled her eyes.

"I don't know."

"Pwease mommy." The twins said in unison while eating there breakfast.

"Maybe, if you to behave. Then we might go around lunch time." They cheered while Inuyasha was laughing and started cleaning the dishes.

"Mommy…" She heard Kimiko. "…My hands a sticky." She showed her hands covered in syrup."

"Mine too." Ichiro said soon after, showing his hands.

"Terrific." She said sarcastically. Kagome took out a paper towel and went to the sink. While she turned the water on, Inuyasha pecked her on her cheek surprising her a little. She wanted to ask while, but she remembered they were married…sort of.

After everything was cleaned up, Kagome took the twins for there bath…. which they hated. Mean while, Inuyasha was getting dressed when the phone started to ring.

"Can you get that?" He heard Kagome say from the bathroom, as well as a lot of splashing.

"No prob." He said, picking up the phone. "Hello?"

"Kagome?" It was a man's voice.

"Does this sound like Kagome, who the hell is-…. Hello?" There was nothing but a dial tone. Inuyasha hung up the phone when Kagome walked in the room, out of breath.

"The kids are still playing in the bath tub. Who was it?" He looked at her with a scowl on his face.

"Some punk ass bitch. How many guys do you know?" She shrugged.

"Like two or three guys at work. But the only one that calls is my boss." He paused.

"Oops." She glared at him.

"I'm not gonna ask, I'll just apologize when I see him at work on Monday."

"Good idea." He kissed her on her cheek a couple time before he came to her lips. They had to stop since there were two little babies in the bathtub. It wasn't long before everyone was dressed and ready to leave. Kagome strapped the twins in they're car seat while Inuyasha but some things in the trunk.

"You have the lunches." She asked, kissing Ichiro on the cheek as well as Kimiko.

"Yep, we're good to go." Kagome got in the passenger seat while Inuyasha took the wheel, but he didn't start the car.

"What's wrong?"

"Where's my kiss?" He pouted. She rolled her eyes, before she leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

It wasn't long before they reached the park. Kagome picked a spot next to a tree where she laid a blanket out for everyone to sit at when they got tired. Afterwards, she placed a couple plates down, followed by some sandwiches. Once everything was finished, she sat down, and watched her kids played with their father. About a half hour went by before they joined Kagome on the blanket.

"How was it?" She asked.

"Fun mommy!" Shouted Ichiro jumping up and down.

"Daddy let us go on the swings."

"Then slide."

"Then the jungle gym."

"Then the marry- round." Kagome smiled as they ate their sandwiches then looked at Inuyasha. He was lying down on the blanket looking tired and out of breath.

"How was it Inuyasha?"

"What's wrong with these kids Kagome?" She laughed at him, petting the two pups on the head.

"What happened?"

"On the swings, they'd get mad if I pushed one and not the other. Then they wanted to go higher and higher. Ichiro tried to fly and jumped off, so I had to catch him. Then Kimiko tried to do the same thing, so I had to catch her too. Then we went on the slide. Kimiko tried to push Ichiro off so she could get on first. Then he chased her and started tugging her ears. I had to break them up. Then on the jungle gym they tried to push each other off. Then on the marry- go- round when one said stop the other kept going. I HATE THE PARK KAGOME!" He yelled before collapsing on the blanket, Kagome laughing at him.

"They're just pups Inuyasha."

"I thought kids were suppose to be good." Kimiko pouted.

"I'm good daddy. Ichiro the meanie." Ichiro shoved her.

"I am not." She shoved him back.

"You are!"

"No you!" Inuyasha lifted Kimiko up with one hand while holding Ichiro back.

"See Kagome?" Inuyasha whimpered, while Kagome chuckled at him complaining.

"Well it sounds like you all had fun."

"Ya mommy!" Kimiko said finishing her sandwich along with Ichiro.

"Some fun." Inuyasha groaned. "I'm ready to go home."

"But don't you remember, 'daddy'?" Kagome said with a devious smile.

"What?"

"You promised the pups to get them ice cream."

"ICE CREAM!" They shouted bouncing on their father. Inuyasha groaned again while looking at Kagome.

"You're enjoying this aren't you?"

"Very much so."

"Well then I guess we better clean up."

"Good idea."

Soon they arrived at the ice cream parlor, where the kids were more than energetic. The ice cream parlor was cute, small, and had other little kids eating ice cream. Kagome held the twins hands up to the counter while Inuyasha sat down at a booth. At the counter was a middle-aged woman with gray hair and glasses.

"Well hello there." She said in a thick country accent. "What do we have here? Two cute little pups? I bet you're hungry." They smiled.

"Ya…" Ichiro said. "Mommy said we'd get ice cream."

"Aww ain't that sweet. Well what can I get ya?" She asked.

"I want a Chocolate Oreo Surprise." Ichiro said, remembering the ice cream he had before.

"I want strawberry with chocolate syrup and a cherry." Kimiko said, licking her lips.

"For you miss?" The lady asked. Kagome thought for a moment.

"I think I'll get the Triple Scoop Special."

"And what flavors would you like?"

"Vanilla, mango, and green mint."

"Any toppings?"

"I'd like chocolate syrup and rainbow sprinkles."

"My, my…you gonna eat all that yourself darling?"

"No, my mate will help me."

"Your mate?" The lady asked looking back at Inuyasha. Kagome thought there was going to be a problem until the lady smiled. "How cute, I have one myself." She pulled down her collar and showed her scar. "We've been married for over 500 years." Her eyes widened.

"Wow."

"Yes, well I'll bring your desserts when it's ready."

"Thank you." Kagome took the pups and sat them down with Inuyasha. "Sit down with daddy. I have to go to the bathroom and wash my hands. I feel something sticky. Kimiko, do you have to go potty?" She shook her head.

"Ok," She turned to Inuyasha. "The ice creams will be here in a second."

"Alright, don't take too long."

"I won't."

While in the bathroom, Kagome started to think how lucky she was. Inuyasha could have forgotten about his family and started a new life, but instead he chose to quit the gang and look for them despite how Kagome hurt him. She smiled as she wiped her hands with a paper towel. I'm so grateful to have someone like him. She thought while walking out the bathroom. Suddenly, she was grabbed from behind then shoved into the wall. The person placed his hands on both sides of the wall, preventing her from going anywhere.

"It's good to see you again love." Kagome's eyes widened as he recognized the voice.

"Hojo? The hell are you doing here!" She almost yelled, making him cover her mouth with his hand."

"Shhh…you wouldn't want that ugly half demon hearing you." How does he know about Inuyasha? She thought. "Was that him on the phone when I called this morning?" That was him? He smirked. "He's the father isn't he? Good, those half- breeds should live with him and leave us alone." Kagome's anger returned. She tried to throw a punch at him, but he caught it and held her down tightly. "I think being a mother has made you weaker, Kagome. Don't worry; when you're with me, you'll feel young again-" Before he could finish, Hojo was suddenly lifted from Kagome and slammed into the opposite wall by Inuyasha. His eyes were slightly tinted red and he was barring his fangs.

"So this is Hojo." He practically growled. "I have a good right to kill you for messing with my mate." For some reason to Kagome, Hojo didn't look scared at all, he just stood quietly. "You stay away from my family, you I'll fuck you up."

"Family huh?" Hojo asked. "Tell me Kagome, why is it that he wasn't here for most of those half breeds life." Inuyasha was about to pound his fist in Hojo's face when Kagome stopped him.

"None of your business. He's here now, so leave us alone." She said, dragging Inuyasha away from him while he was glaring. Back at the table, the waitress was there while the kids were eating. Inuyasha asked a while ago for the ice creams to go. Since Kagome was taking so long in the bathroom he thought something was wrong.

"Is everything alright?" She asked Kagome and Inuyasha.

"Ya, we're gonna get going." Inuyasha said, holding his kids ice cream, while Kagome held their hands.

"Ok, I hope you have a safe drive."

"I hope so too."

Kagome was in bed looking out the window. She couldn't believe Hojo followed her while her family was with her. He's followed her before, but only when she was alone. What else would he do to her? While she was thinking, Inuyasha came in the room. He had just finished saying good night to the pups. He was worried about Kagome, since she barely said anything when they came home. He slowly got into the bed and wrapped his arms around Kagome.

"It's ok, mate." Kagome started to tear up.

"I just can't believe he did that. This was suppose to be our first family outing but he ruined it."

"It's ok, love. It won't happen again." Because I'll kill him. Kagome smiled then wrapped her arms around Inuyasha.

"Thanks Inuyasha. I'm glad you're with us."

"Me to."
