A/N: HALLELUJAH! It is FINALLY Friday! Let's celebrate with this new chapter hmm?

Chapter 10:

Rin took a deep breath, exiting the bathroom after she was dressed.

She quietly got in bed, moving into Sesshomaru's warm embrace.

He laid down with her, taking in her scent.

Rin just couldn't find the words to speak.

Instead, she closed her eyes, letting Sesshomaru soothe her to sleep.

The next morning, Rin left the empty room to go eat breakfast, knowing Sesshomaru had gone of to do something.

InuYasha and Kagome were there again.

"Morning Rin." InuYasha said.

"Morning." Rin said as she sat down next to them.

"Woah." InuYasha gasped, getting a good look at her gold eyes "I didn't see that yesterday."

"Yeah. I slept in." Rin said.

"You're beautiful Rin." Kagome said.

"Thanks." Rin slightly smiled at them.

"Are you ok? You're a little... Pale?" InuYasha asked.

"Oh. I'm fine." Rin smiled more.

She could see though that InuYasha was not satisfied with that answer.

Taking a deep breath, "I didn't get much sleep last night."

"Maybe you need to tell Sesshomaru to give you a break." InuYasha said.

Kagome hit his shoulder hard.

"No. It's not that." Rin said.

"What's wrong Rin?" Kagome asked concerned.

Rin looked down, she thought talking with Kagome would make her words come out better.

"Is this a girl thing?" InuYasha asked.

"Sort of." Rin said.

"Do I need to leave?" InuYasha asked.

"No." Rin said, looking at him, then taking another deep breath, "I think... That, um, Kagome, how do you know if you're pregnant?"

Both of their eyes widened.

"What?!" InuYasha gasped out.

"InuYasha... Can you give us a minute please?" Kagome asked.

"No problem." InuYasha said before getting up and walking away.

"Rin. Are you ok?" Kagome asked.

"I don't know. I don't know what's going on with me. I just... Had the thought last night." Rin said.

"Um. Well, did you have morning sickness?" Kagome asked.

"No." Rin said.

"Oh. Ok. Well, may I?" Kagome asked, referring to her stomach.

Rin nodded.

Kagome curiously and carefully felt of her stomach.

"Well. It is... Possible." Kagome said after a while.

Rin felt her stomach flutter.

"Are you... Rin are you alright?" Kagome asked.

"I... I don't know." Rin said.

"Did you tell him?" Kagome asked.

Rin shook her head.

"Well. Why don't you? I mean..." Kagome started.

"Because I'm scared. I mean... What will he say? What if it makes me different?" Rin questioned on.

"Rin. If you weren't different from anyone else, I wouldn't know you. I'm sure he wouldn't be upset." Kagome said.

But... I'm human.

Rin thought but didn't say.

"What if he doesn't want anything to do with me after it? I mean..."

"Rin. He's gone through heaven and hell to keep you safe. I think that's the last thing he would do." Kagome said.

"I don't know..." Rin said unsure.

"Well. Do you want me to come with you?" Kagome asked.

"No. You're doing enough already. I just..."

"Just tell him tonight. You know I'll be there for you if anything goes wrong. But I seriously doubt it." Kagome said.

"Thank you, Kagome." Rin said smiling, "I'm really glad you came."

Kagome smiled, "You're welcome. I knew there was a reason I needed to come. To protect my sister."

"You can count me in. Sesshomaru better not even look at you wrong. Or there will be trouble." InuYasha returned, "Although I'm pretty sure you're the last person he would hurt."

Rin took a deep breath, "Thanks guys."

Her chest was still doing flips, but now she felt she was not alone.

Sesshomaru was heading back to the room.

These unnecessary meetings were seriously starting to irritate him.

Most were all concerns about Rin.

She is human. She is your weakness. She is this. She is that.

However, nothing they said would get through to him, he would never see his mate as any of those standards.

They may not have noticed it, but she was anything and everything in the world for him.

He found Rin in their room, seeming to look like she had been there a while.

"You don't have to act like you're some kind of prisoner." Sesshomaru spoke, sitting next to her.

"Oh. I went out. I, um, ate about an hour ago." Rin said, pulling herself out of her inner thoughts.

"Are you ok?" Sesshomaru asked, not missing the edge in her voice.

"Yeah." Rin said, forcing a smile.

Sesshomaru tilted his head in sign that he wasn't buying it. "Was it Naomi?"

"What? No. I just..." Rin paused.

Great. Easier said than said I guess.

"Rin." Sesshomaru spoke, forcing her attention, "What's wrong?"

Rin couldn't find the words.

Our mate has never acted like this. Sesshomaru's beast observed.

"I, Um... There's... Uh..." The words were just at the tip of her tongue.

"You're. Pregnant." Sesshomaru stared at her, finally making this easier by hearing her jumbled thoughts.

Rin looked at him before nodding, "Yeah."

It went quiet.

"I know this is the right time to be mentioning this. Nor hardly the place..."

Rin was cut off by Sesshomaru cupping her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.

It was quiet, Rin trying to read what was behind his golden stare.

Finally, he kissed her, which she slowly relaxed into.

"Nothing is more important than you. Nothing." He said.

"What if..." Rin looked down, "You used to hate InuYasha. What if I'm..."

"Rin. I don't care if they're all born human. They will still be ours." Sesshomaru said.

"How will we know? I mean... I'm just..."

"Calm down, my Rin. Toshiro will be more than happy to tend you." Sesshomaru said.

"What will the others think?" Rin asked.

"That will be none of your concern. If they object, they have to come through me." Sesshomaru said.

Rin was quiet. Was there ever a place where she wasn't such a burden when around Sesshomaru?

"Do not think like that, Rin." Sesshomaru said sternly.

"But it's true." Rin whispered.

"And it is as I said. They have to come through me. No harm will come to you, my mate." Sesshomaru said.

Rin stayed quiet, just staring at him.

"You will make quite the demoness. I cannot get over how beautiful you are." Sesshomaru said, seeming to thoroughly examine her.

Rin slightly smiled, "Thanks. You too."

Sesshomaru copied her smiled before kissing her securely.

Rin didn't try to resist again, she kissed him back, pulling him closer.

When they barely pulled back, she could feel him smirk, "You are growing fangs, my mate."

Rin smiled back, kissing him again.

They seemed to be in this embrace for hours.

Before Rin knew it, she was nuzzled against Sesshomaru, always feeling secure when she slept.

Maybe after she made the transformation, Sesshomaru wouldn't have to disappear as much to cover her reason of being here.
