Moar updates ^^

So I'm trying to be as accurate as possible with the pregnancy thing, but I'm extending a little artistic liberty for this chapter for... reasons explained in the footnotes :D

Enjoy ^^


A soft knock echoed through the house, Sesshomaru looking from his laptop, curiosity in his eyes before he stood from his seat on the couch, the lid closed as his dark jeans carrying him from the living room to the front door, his amber eyes widening slightly at the sight of Rin, her midnight tresses loose and her eyes avoiding his, her hand gripping her other arm, the demon surprised to see her as it had been almost two weeks since he saw her at their graduation ceremony, almost a week before their wedding.

"H-Hey Sesshomaru," she murmured quietly, her brown eyes finally flickering to his, "h-how have you been?"

"Well and yourself?" he asked with softness, "how's your morning sickness?"

"It's pretty much over," Rin smiled softly, "I haven't felt nauseous in about a week; it's not entirely over, but it's better."

"That's good," his lean figure moved aside to let her in, "come in."

"Thank you," she smiled up at him, her light blue jacket held over her body as she stepped lightly into the house, her spotted flats hardly making a sound on the wood floor. "Where uh, where's your family?"

"InuYasha is out with Kagome, for the night if his wishful thinking is anything to go by, and my father is on a quick business trip as Izaoi decided to accompany him."

"So… you're basically alone tonight," Rin concluded, her eyes suddenly looking extremely nervous, her hands fidgeting with her jacket.

"Yes," Sesshomaru nodded, "is that a problem?"

"N-No," the young woman announced, her fake smile hardly fooling the demon, "no of course not."

"Did you want something to drink?" the demon asked, determined to make his friend as comfortable as he possibly could, her nod allowing him to leave her to the living room and take his leave for the kitchen, his mind occupied as he looked for something that wouldn't upset the stomach of the pregnant young woman taking residence on his family's couch.

Ice rattled in the glass as he thought about his friend's actions, her avoidance of him, the fake smile, the sudden nervousness of being left alone with him and the way she was trying to close her body off from him all made him curious; and then there was her scent. Rin's scent would often relax him, calm him when he was stressed; he once fell asleep in her lap before their math midterm, her aura the only thing making him relax enough to doze, the feeling of her fingers through her scalp were equally as divine as he finally had a rest in what felt like days. Today, however, her scent had changed, albeit just for an instant, changed into something heavier and thicker, beckoning to him like a siren's song, the only time she smelt like that was during their first night together.

His head shook his thoughts loose, she was carrying a child, what he was detecting was probably just nervousness bottled up after weeks of pregnancy and disappointment of not being able to talk to Izayoi about what she's transitioning through, the pregnancy itself causing her scent to change. The dual glasses were taken from the kitchen to where she sat, the blue jacket finally taken off revealing a purple tank top underneath, his eyes unconsciously traveling to her chest, the supple breasts she sported in their night of passion had grown, her top almost too small to contain herself, her arms trying to restrain her body from spilling out of it.

"Here," the demon murmured as he handed her her drink, Rin thanking him, taking the glass with minimal shifting over her body, Sesshomaru's amber eyes risking glances at her growing form.

"Rin," he asked after a few moments too long of awkward silence, "are you sure everything's alright?"

"Huh?" confused brown eyes looked up at him, "oh no i-it's just… I was sort of expecting your family to be here."

"Is my company not adequate?" he teased, enjoying Rin's blush at his normal banter.

"N-No no! It's just," her lower lip was bitten as her eyes flickered around, "i-it's just…"

"Just what?" Sesshomaru asked softly, "we've been left alone before remember?"

"Y-Yeah," Rin stammered, "look, I'm sorry, th-this was a mistake, I-I should have just stayed home…"

"Why?" the demon asked as he followed his friend from the room, her jacket in her hand, "Rin, what's going on?"

"I-It's nothing really, I was just lonely and wanted company, that's all!"

"Then why are you leaving?" Sesshomaru pressed, his feet carrying him closer to her, hand finally grabbing her wrist before he gently spun her to face him, "Rin, just talk to me!"

Chocolate met amber for a moment, her cheeks dusted with red and her throat swallowing a thick lump, her growing chest heaving deeply; confused, the demon leaned towards her neck, his nose sniffing at her, the scent becoming what he caught for an instant, his lungs inhaling deeply, her eyes fluttering shut at the feeling while her breath hitched for a second. His head rose to meet her eyes once more before he felt her lips on his, his eyebrows shot upward in shock at her sudden action, the feeling of her hands falling behind his ear and around his shoulders, pressing him closer to her, the demon staggering for a few moments before he gave into temptation, his own hand sliding behind her scalp and around her slim waist, pressing against the small of her back.

"I'm sorry," Rin breathed as they parted for air, her body still pressed against his while his back pressed against the wall, the demon practically panted against her mouth, "I shouldn't have done that."

"Why not," Sesshomaru murmured, smirking slightly, "and what are you sorry for? Did it look like I minded?"

"No," the young woman shook her head before her lips attacked his once more, the demon this time more responsive to her advances, his firm mouth playing with hers, his tongue sliding against hers as his strong arms started to lift the slender woman up off her feet, her own hands slipping around his neck.

"What brought this on?" the demon asked as they parted, his breath still heaving as hers was.

"Doctor told me that I'd start feeling… changes," she admitted blushing, "emotional and… otherwise."

"And you came to me?" he asked her teasingly, his eyebrow raised seductively.

"I told you," Rin whispered, a coy smile playing on her lips, "I was lonely and wanted some company, besides, you said you'd be there for me right?"

"In all honesty I didn't have this in mind," Sesshomaru murmured, his lips affixing to her neck, "but if you're sure…"

"I am."

The two little words were all the demon needed before he attacked her lips, saliva slipping from her mouth as their tongues intertwined before he gently led her up the stairs towards his room, her coat and his sweater slipped off once the wooden door shut, their lips hardly parting save for the few gulps of air they both needed, her hands around his face while his were holding onto her waist and hips.

Rin didn't know when they had entered in his bedroom but she did not care, her delicate hands grabbing and clutching at the white fabric of the shirt the demon wore, the buttons swiftly undone to reveal his toned chest and abdomen, her nails raking down them while the demon practically moaned into her mouth at the contact, his own hands finding her still flat stomach, the tank top she wore practically ripped off her body as it was tossed aside along with his own shirt, his lips nipping and sucking at her neck and collarbone, Rin moaning unhindered as he teased her.

A large hand slid up and down her body, the claws applying the gentlest of pressure to her body, the nails stopping suddenly when they reached her hips, his body seemed to freeze as he pulled back gently from her, Rin looking up in surprise at the demon, her chest heaving as her skin became flushed.

"Sesshomaru?" she asked curiously, adjusting her body to sit up to look at him.

"We-We can't do this," he breathed, pulling up from her body, confusion seeping into her eyes.

"Wh-What?!" Rin asked as the demon began to move away from her, "wh-what are you talking about!?"

"The baby," Sesshomaru explained as he panted slightly, gesturing to her womb, "if we continue, this'll hurt the child."

"No, no it won't," Rin shook her head, as her hand moved to grip the white shirt, "Sesshomaru-"

"I won't hurt-"

"You won't," she tried to explain, "I asked."

"Who?"

"My doctor," Rin giggled softly, "he said it was alright, just… nothing rough or kinky."

"B-But-"

"Sesshomaru," gentle hands encompassed his cheeks as the girl sat on her shins, her eyes smiling, "do you honestly think that I would jeopardize the health of a baby for a little intimacy?"

Her smile was matched by his own, the demon chuckling for a moment before he leaned towards her, his lips pressing against hers.

"Not for a second," he murmured before they resumed their devious actions, his hands taking their place around her body, his fingertips sliding up her waist and ribs, Rin's mouth moaning loudly as his lips kissed her body, the fingers finding the clasp of her bra, the material unhooked and tossed aside.

His head pulled back to look down at her body, the breasts that had swollen since her pregnancy were now heaving, the demon felt his hunger for her growing. Lips reaffixed themselves to kiss her body, Rin moving against his mouth, her breath panting until a hand encompassed her breast, a sharp gasp escaping her lips.

"Ah! Sesshomaru!"

The demon moved back as though struck, Rin's face wincing in pain as she covered her breasts, his amber eyes wide with surprise.

"Wh-What-"

"Sorry," the girl mumbled as she looked up at the demon, flecks of pain still in her eyes but looked confident all the same, "I-I should have mentioned b-but my breasts are a little sensitive."

"I'm the one who's sorry," he murmured sensually, his lips grazing her ear, "I'll be gentler for you," his fingers trailed to her stomach, "you and the baby."

Rin grinned up at him before their lips met once more, her hands on his arms while his gently trailed his fingers down her sides, careful with her body as his lips traveled down her throat and kissed her collarbone, the young woman mewling at the feeling, her body arching into his. His fingers gently slipping between her flesh and the denim she wore, his thumb undoing the button of her jeans before he slowly eased the material off her body, her panties the only thing keeping her from him.

Tips of his fingers teased her through her panties, Rin shuddering at the feeling as her own leg pressed against his growing erection, the demon groaning at the feeling. His hand slipped off her stomach as he swiftly unclasped his pants, the denim sliding off his body with his back briefs. Teeth began pulling off her own underwear before his hands finished, his fingers running down the smooth flesh of her thigh before he began kissing the soft skin, his hand sliding up and down slowly, Rin humming in pleasure at the patterns he drew.

Sesshomaru was swift as he took his place over her, his amber eyes looking down at her lust covered brown eyes, a soft smile on her lips as she cupped his marked cheeks, her torso lifting off the mattress to kiss him tenderly, the demon slowly inserting himself inside her, Rin wincing as she adjusted to him.

The demon groaned at the feeling inside her, her body feeling warmer than their first time, most likely to do with the increase of blood for their child.

"Rin-"

"It's okay," the young woman breathed, her chest heaving, "I'm alright."

"If you're sure-"

"I am," she smiled up at him, "more than ever."

Lips pressed against hers as Sesshomaru slowly began to move inside her, Rin moaning as he began to thrust, her hands reaching to claw at his back as her own arched off the mattress to him, her cheek to his pillow as his nose burrowed into the crook of her neck. The demon quickened his pace for the both of them, careful with her sensitive body as he felt her hand hold his neck closer to his body, her moans increasing in volume.

"Se-hah-Se-Sesshomaru!" Rin practically screamed, "ah!"

The demon emitted a low growl as he felt her tighten around him, her name passing his lips as he finally released himself inside her, his arms supporting his heaving body as he tried to steady himself, the young woman beneath him doing the same, breath sawing in and out of her marked chest.

The silence was comfortable as the two adjusted to lie under the covers, the young woman pulling herself to rest on his chest, her cheek to his body while her back remained on the mattress, her hand unconsciously trailing the flesh of her stomach, Sesshomaru daring to break the stillness.

"Are you alright… with this?"

Rin nodded, her hand still over her still flat midsection as she leaned into Sesshomaru, "yeah, I think that we'll manage… I just… don't know how to go about telling a child that he or she was just a drunken mistake."

Sesshomaru just buried his nose into her hair, his arms encircling her as his mind was spinning, his own head resting on the propped up pillows, their legs under the silk sheets.

"I wasn't drunk."

Rin turned to look at Sesshomaru with surprised eyes, her upper torso twisting, "what?"

Sesshomaru took a deep breath before lifting his head to meet her eyes, "that night, when I-" he trailed off, his clawed hands caressing her stomach, "you know… I wasn't drunk."

"But, then why-"

"You just looked so-" he paused, his other hand raising up to brush aside a lock of her hair, "-stunning that night when I saw you I couldn't control myself any longer around you, and I took advantage of you."

"But, you smelt like beer-"

Sesshomaru laughed bitterly, "yeah, Miroku spilt his fourth beer on me, laughing like an idiot, that was probably what you smelt."

"Oh," Rin murmured, the side of her head touching the joint between his collarbone and neck, her hand still sliding over her unborn child while her hips touched the mattress.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, his lips touching the crown of her hair, "I just wanted you so badly, and I thought, that since you were taking the pill, nothing would happen."

"But why," Rin muttered, her eyes tearful as she looked up at him, "why didn't you stay? You just left me in the morning and never spoke about it. Why?"

Sesshomaru gulped at the sight of her tearing up, his hand sliding over hers and intertwining his fingers with hers, the other hand caressing the skin on her cheek.

"I was afraid," he admitted, his thumb running over the smooth skin, "when I woke up in the morning, you were lying asleep next to me and I panicked. I thought that if you woke up and I was there, you might freak out, I thought that you would call me an animal and never want to see me again, I thought I would lose everything the moment you woke up; so I left. When you didn't bring it up, I thought that maybe you had just forgotten it, that you had too much to drink that night and just… forgot. I was disgusted with myself for having done that to you, someone I cared for more than anything, and I took advantage of you in your own compromised state, I was, am,nothing better than a monster."

"No, you're not," Rin muttered, swallowing thickly, "you're not a monster, Sesshomaru, I am."

"What?" Sesshomaru asked, his turn to look confused, "you were drinking Rin, you had tequila on your-"

"I had one shot," Rin murmured, "Kagome tripled dared me to take one so I did, but that was it, I swear. When you slipped into my room, I thought you were drunk and when you started touching me, part of my brain told me to push you off, tell you to stop; but, the other part of me just… wanted it."

Sessomaru stared at her in slight shock as the pregnant teen pressed on, her eyes brimming over in tears, "I'm sorry, I had a crush on you for such a long time and I had already accepted that nothing would come of it, but when you started flirting with me, I thought that maybe, just for one night, I could pretend that you…" she trailed off, her tears dripping slowly over her cheeks.

"That I what?" he asked quietly, his hand continuously brushing her hair as she huddled into him.

"Loved me," she whispered tearfully, her throat catching as she tried desperately to fight the sob that threatened to escape her lips.

Sesshomaru looked at her in surprise at her tearful confession, her body quivering slightly as she held on to him tightly as though she feared he would run out the door and leave her all alone.

"Rin," he murmured, his hands moving to slide under her chin so that he was able to look her in the eye, his face inching closer to hers until his lips ghosted hers, lingering for a moment before he pressed eagerly into hers, Rin slaking in surprise before she pressed back, almost as eagerly. "You never needed to pretend with me, not ever," Sesshomaru murmured when they broke apart, his amber eyes looking into her deep brown ones, "I've always cared for you, more than anything; you mean the world to me Rin, you always have and you always will. I love you Rin."

Rin felt her eyes widen in surprise, praying that Sesshomaru wasn't just telling her what she desperately wanted to hear since the day she realized she was in love with him.

"Do you mean that?" Rin dared to ask, "please don't lie to me."

Sesshomaru nodded, "of course I do Rin, I've never seen anybody else but you, and I know I never will. I want you Rin, just as badly as I did that day and ever y day before and after it. I do love you, I truly do."

Rin just smiled, her tears still slipping from her eyes.

Sesshomaru smiled back, "that's the Rin I remember," he murmured, "that's the smile that makes an angel envious."

Rin laughed lightly; content to be curled in his arms as she ran their intertwined fingers running over their unborn child.

"Do you still want to do this with me? Knowing that it was a decision I made and not just an accident?"

Sesshomaru looked over at her before looking down at where his child grew, her still toned stomach concealing the baby from the world and protecting it.

"Yes," he told her softly, "now more than ever."


So... yeah... Rin's supposed to be around 10-11 weeks by now and by this point you're still supposed to be nauseous... she can be nauseous later...
