Acceptance!
Well? Thanks for the reviews they made me very happy. I hope this is a twist that threw a lot of you off of what was to be expected. Thanks and enjoy.
"He's your son?" I said to him again. Sesshomaru just kept his head down. After a few moments of thinking I had to ask him. "Did you know you had a son?" He shook his head. "So what happened? Come on Sesshomaru, I need answers. I mean for the past two years you've been a father and I didn't even know?" I said to him. I was furious.
"I...I knew she was pregnant and I told her I would be there for the baby. She told me the child wasn't mine. Ken and her had dated and then they broke up. I went out with her and then they got back together. She told me the time was off and that the child was Ken's. I left it at that. How was I suppose to know that she failed to do the math." Sesshomaru growled at me.
I crossed my arms. "And you never thought to check in to make sure that the baby wasn't yours?" I asked him. He glared at me. "Geez!" I stormed out of the study and went to our room. I started to pace in the room and think about all that I had learned. After an hour Sesshomaru came into our room and sat in the chair.
He was silent and didn't say a word. "This is what we are going to do. We are going to Social services and see what it will take to adopt Kenji. We will have his name changed an everything. "Got it?" I wasn't giving him options. I was taking control of Kenji at this moment. Whether Sesshomaru liked it or not.
Sesshomaru looked at me. "What does it matter. We both know he is my son. I am is guardian so what good will it do?" He asked me. I glared at him. "Rin I am just trying to see what good it will do. We have all the information we need about him. So what does it matter?" He asked me once again.
I stopped in front of him. "Sesshomaru that boy has been lied to about who is father was for two years. That is your son. You need to let people know that you care about him. He will get adopted by you and you will pay to change his name and pay to have his birth certificate say your name. So tomorrow I am gonna make a call to have a DNA test done so we can prove your the father. Then we go to social services and then we show them what we learned. We do what is need and then you can tell everyone that you didn't know that there was a mistake and that you fixed it. And Sesshomaru you will fix it. I am not going to stand by and know that my step-son's father's name is not on his birth certificate. So any problems?" I asked him. I knew I must have been red with anger.
Sesshomaru nodded and then we got ready for bed. At around two in the morning Kenji woke up and started to cry. I turned to Sesshomaru and noticed he wasn't getting up. So I rolled myself out of bed to take care of him.
I walked in and he was standing in his crib crying more. I tried to pick him up but he wouldn't have anything to do with me. I frowned and went back to our room. I went to Sesshomaru and shook him. He didn't stir. "He's gonna keep crying if you don't get up. He wants you. Now get up and take care of him." I said and then I went to the bathroom.
After hiding in the bathroom for ten minutes I came out too see Sesshomaru gone. I carefully went to Kenji's room and see them both in the rocking chair. Both of them were asleep. I smiled and then left the room. I didn't see the harm in them spending time together.
The next morning I woke up and turned and then I noticed I faced. I sat up and started down at Kenji. He smiled up at me and I turned my head and seen Sesshomaru asleep next to him. I looked at Kenji again and he moved his hands they way babies to to want to be picked up. I smiled and picked him up. "Ready for your bottle?" I asked. I got out and before I could open the door the phone went off.
I picked up the phone and answered. "Hello?" I asked. "Hey Rin. I was wondering if you could help me out. See I have a date with Kagome for lunch and I am taking her to a nice restaurant and I don't know what to wear." I smiled and giggled. I took Kenji to the kitchen and told Inuyasha that he need to wear that nice outfit he wore for his graduation ceremony.
"Trust me it will work. You will be well dressed but not enough to tip her off that your going to ask her to marry you." I said to him. There was a silence on the other end. "Hey Inuyasha are you there?" I asked him. As I waited for him to answer me I got Kenji a bottle to heat up.
"Wh...what make you think that I'm...I'm...ok who told you?" He asked me. I couldn't help but laugh at how silly he was being. I think anyone who got a call form Inuyasha asking for help on what to wear could put two and two together. "Just let me know how it goes. Bye, love ya." I hung up.
I went into the sun room and gave Kenji his bottle. It wasn't too long after that Sesshomaru found us. He kissed me good morning and then grabbed his paper. I scowled. "Excuse me, but I believe you forgot someone." I told him and he looked at me and then to Kenji. "At least say morning to the boy. Geez." I said as I got up to get me some juice.
I was so angry. I knew it was a lot on Sesshomaru but at the same time it was a lot on me too. I mean here I think I am going to give him his first child and I find out he already has one. Great. So much for me being a good wife. I couldn't help it and started to cry. I told a maid that I would be in my room resting if anything was needed.
I laid on the bed crying for almost an hour before Sesshomaru came in with Kenji. I buried my face in my pillow and Sesshomaru rubbed my back. "You have to learn to love him. You can't just love one child and not the other." I said to him. I didn't know what he looked like or what he was thinking but he never left my side and he sat Kenji between both of us. I sat up in bed and looked at Sesshomaru. "I mean it Sesshomaru when you take the DNA test and have it official that he is your son you have to treat him as much as you would our own child." I said to him.
Sesshomaru pulled me into his chest. "Kenji didn't ask to be brought into this world. You have to man up and take responsibility. Cause one day he's gonna either feel loved or hated and I never want him to feel that. I want him to know that his dad loves him no matter what. He deserves that much." I started to cry more at the memories of my father and how he turned his back on me. Sesshomaru just held me and let my cry.
Soon Kenji was between us and he whipped the tears off my face. I smiled at him and then hugged him close. "Do you love him?" I looked up at Sesshomaru and smiled and nodded. "I love him as if he were my own. I will admit it bugs me that I wasn't able to give you, your first child but I wouldn't trade him for the world." I said and kissed Kenji on the head. He smiled at me and then hugged me and I looked at Sesshomaru and almost gasped. He was really smiling at us both.
After the mama drama moment I went to make some calls for work and then I made a call to the doctor to get an appointment set up for the DNA test. After those calls were made I went to go get Kenji to play outside. He seemed to have enjoyed it a lot.
After a few hours outside it was time to go in and get a bath to get ready for the big family dinner. Kenji enjoyed bath times and I loved how he played. Sesshomaru walked into our room and raised an eyebrow as he heard the giggling. He walked in to see Kenji splashing the water everywhere. I smiled and he just sighed and walked away. But I was lucky and got to see the smile upon his face.
I got Kenji out of the tub and dried him off and put him in his dinner clothes. He smiled and then followed me out of the bathroom. Sesshomaru was already dressed and that gave me the right to hand Kenji to Daddy and let me get dressed. Sesshomaru was a little unsure when he held him and I just pushed them both out of the room. "Practice Daddy." I said as I shut the door.
I put on one of the red dresses that I was able to but with Izayoi. I smiled as I fingred the necklace that Sesshomaru gave me. I smiled more and then made my way downstairs just in time to see everyone come in. Then I seen Kagome and freaked.
She saw me and smiled. I waved her over and then I pulled her into a room. "What's the matter?" I looked at her hand and freaked more. "You weren't suppose to be here." She gave me a confused look and sighed. "Rin come on I just got engaged and you want me to leave?" She said in a confused tone. I sighed more. "What's going on?" She asked.
I looked down at the floor and then back at her. "I didn't want to ruin the good news with what Sesshomaru and I had to tell everyone tonight." I said and then hid my face from her. She hugged me and then we walked out to see everyone and then I seen InuTashio and Sesshomaru were both gone. Inuyasha was dumb founded by the little boy in front of him.
I heard Kagome gasp and then she ran to the little boy and picked him up. Kenji didn't know what to think of the strange woman that just picked him up. Then Kagome squeezed him and told him he was so cute. After a minute Kenji struggled to get out of her hands and ran behind my leg and clung.
Izayoi looked shocked but smiled at Kenji non the less. After a few minutes both InuTashio and Sesshomaru returned. Kenji hid more behind my leg. I looked down and try to figure out was he was so scared off. Could it be InuTashio. "Well I think we should eat. Sesshomaru has already ruined good news for all of us. So..." Inuyasha said. I glared at him. He cringed and then looked away. I picked Kenji and carried him.
As I walked to Kenji's high chair I could hear Kagome trying to quietly yell at Inuyasha's rudeness. Then I heard what sound like flesh hitting flesh and Kenji giggled his little giggle. I turned to see and very pouty Inuyasha and a not so happy Kagome. I looked at Kenji and shrugged.
I put Kenji in his chair and put a bib on around his neck. He smiled at me and I smiled back at him. The maids brought us our dinner and Kenji just stared at it for a moment. Then he dug in and made a mess fast. I smiled and then I looked at Sesshomaru and he was in conversation with his father. I sighed and then jumped into the conversation with Izayoi and Kagome.
Half way through dinner a maid came and told me there was a phone call waiting. I smiled and excused myself. I went to the waiting phone and answered it. "Hello?" I answered and there was no answer. I looked at the phone and then hung up. I turned around and then it rang again. "Hello?" I answered again. "I'm sorry but I am the grandmother to Kenji and I was wondering if this is the Tanaka home." She said to me. I was silent for a moment. "Umm...yes this is the Tanaka family home. I'm sorry you said he was your grandson?" I asked her.
"Yes he is my grandson. I was hoping I could meet with Mr. Tanaka about the custody of hi. I don't think its right to put such a burden on a young man who has yet to start his own family." She said with a little venom. I squeezed the the phone with a little anger. "Please I would love to speak to him." I took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry Ma'am but my husband is speaking to his father right now about his son. I doubt Sesshomaru would give Kenji up after just finding out he had a son. But if you wish to take this to court then please be my quest. But I will never let you take him away from us. Thank you." I said and then hung up. I couldn't believe it after having him for two days she finally calls to try and take him away.
I whipped the tears form my eyes and turned around to hit Sesshomaru's chest. "Don't...please don't..." I cried as I embraced him. Sesshomaru held me. "I wont let anyone take him from us. I promise Rin. He's our son" He said into my ear. I knew then that Sesshomaru could see that he was indeed Kenji's father and would fight like any father should.
Well? What do ya think? Good? Bad? What? I would love to know what ya think. So I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Thanks!
