Chapter 4: Moving time

All that remained in Sesshomaru's room was the pile of boxes that awaited the movers. He sighed and picked up the last of his clothes bags and walked out of that room.

"You will call me when you get there?" His father asked when he came down the steps.

"I will" Sesshomaru nodded and hugged his father briefly "the movers should be here in an hour to get my remaining things." His father nodded and let Sesshomaru pass to the door.

"Be safe"

Sesshomaru nodded again and went to his car.

A loud knock awoke Kagome from her sudden slumber. Lorene lay next to her fast asleep as well. Kagome ran to open the door, rubbing her eyes as she went.

"I am so sorry. I fell asleep while I was packing" she turned and picked up the box that had lay forgotten on the floor. "You would think that living with someone else I wouldn't have this much stuff but I guess I do." Kagome laughed pointing to a growing stack of boxes in the corner. "Miroku and Sango are happy to have the house to them self again but sad to see me go"

"We will come back after we get settled." Sesshomaru patted her back softly.

"I know I just never knew it would be so hard to leave." Kagome put a stack of baby clothes in to the box. "One more box and I think I will be done."

"Do you want me to take these things to the truck?" Sesshomaru had the moving truck follow him here before going back to his house.

"Sure, just try not to wake her." Kagome smiled warmly at him. Returning the smile Sesshomaru loaded up his arms with boxes and made his way to the truck. Kagome sighed and looked at her daughter. "Things are going to be very different love." She leaned over and kissed her forehead.

It took 20 minutes to get all of Kagome and Lorene's things to the moving truck and have to sent to Sesshomaru's house.

"We should get going…it's kind of a long drive." He held the back door open for the car seat and then the front for Kagome.

"How long, I didn't think we were moving that far away"

"You will see and I am sure you will like it. Lorene will have her own room and so will you" he said this with a mental note of disappointment. "But we do have to get going" He held the door open for her and closed it behind her.

Eight hours later Kagome was sleeping in the front seat and Lorene was sleeping as well. He sighed and looked at Kagome. He knew that her daughter was her whole life but he also knew that a woman could not be alone forever. He would just have to wait for her to be ready for him. The house they were moving in to is a two story Victorian like house that had been in his family for many years. Sesshomaru's father had offered it to him if he made it though high school and only weeks after that Kagome and Lorene had come in to his life. At the end of the street stood his house as large and lovely as he remembered as a child, now Lorene would have a place all her own to grow up in and maybe one day have it to her self. Sesshomaru laughed to him self about the thought of having Kagome in his life that long.

When Sesshomaru pulled in to the car port Kagome woke up stretching her arms and looking back at her daughter.

"I guess she liked the drive." She joked lightly laying back when Sesshomaru stepped out of the car.

"The beds are set up in the rooms, you just have to choose which room you want." He opened the door for Kagome holding out his hand for Kagome. She took his hand and stood but as soon as her feet touched the ground she fell to the ground but with his quick reflexes, Sesshomaru caught her against his chest. "Wow I guess I am not quite awake yet." She looked up at Sesshomaru and blushed deep red.

"I'm sorry" he muttered and set her up right. "I will get the baby" he walked around the car leaving Kagome to her own thoughts.

Kagome's heart would not stop pounding. She was a perfect fit in his arms. Kagome shook her head clearing her head of all thoughts. 'Lorene comes first. He wanted us here because of her…not me' she told herself.

"I will show you the rooms" Sesshomaru's soft voice caught her thoughts

"Right" she followed him up the stairs, in to the main room. The room was full of boxes, a full size couch, a love seat and a comfy chair. The walls where a plain white that just screamed to be painted. A fireplace was tucked away in the coroner of the room a light brown brick surrounded it. The kitchen was clearly brand new because it did not fit the time era of the house. Kagome ran ahead and looked out the back window to see the back yard stretch out behind the house. "Oh my god this is great" she starred in awe around her new home.

"Tomorrow we can go out and get paint for the walls and all the rooms. I had them painted white so that you could do what you wanted with them." Sesshomaru rocked the car seat in his arms

"Thank you" Kagome smiled at him then they continued up stairs to the bed rooms. The halls were lined with photos of Sesshomaru's family and his history.

"This is one of the rooms and the next one is mine. There are two more that you can use for anything and one I use as a study or a library might be a better word." Sesshomaru pointed to all the doors in that hall. Kagome opened the door to the first room and gasped.

"This room is huge" Kagome looked around when Sesshomaru laughed slightly.

"This is one of the small rooms and it even has a small bathroom."

"This should be Lorene's room. I want her near both of us so that she will be safe." Kagome took the car seat from Sesshomaru setting it in the room leaving the door opening. "Let's go see the rest" Kagome said to her self walking down the hall looking up at the pictures as she went. The next door was the second biggest bedroom. There was a small plain bed with dark red blankets and pillows in the middle of the large room, off to the left was a walk in closet and to the right was a full bathroom as well.

"This room and Lorene's was left white as well"

"It's as if you knew what rooms we would want" Kagome teased running to the closet

"I thought I knew what you would choose. We can also buy you a new bed while we are out tomorrow." Sesshomaru stood at the door as he watched Kagome run around before falling on the bed. "Thank you so much. I want Lorene to sleep in here tonight"

"I will get her" he was back in a second with the child and her diaper bag. "I am going to bed now. Sleep well Kagome" he smiled at her and leaned down and kissed Lorene's head.
