"Fluffy are you excited that Kagura is going to have your kid?" Shippo asked his brother as both him and Souta were bothering him in the living room.
"Why do you ask Shippo?" Sesshomaru asked as he rested his head against the back of the couch, his eyes closed.
"Well mom said that dad was excited when all three of was born."
"Yeah that's what my mom said too. She said that my dad would wait on her hand and foot. Like a slave or something." Souta turned his attention to Sesshomaru, "Are you going to be Kagura's slave now?"
"I'm no one's slave."
"Well are you excited? Me and Souta will have a little cousin to play with. You will have a baby to take care of too."
"Hey Sesshomaru do you think you will be a good daddy?" Souta asked.
Sesshomaru lazily rolled his eyes. Both Souta and Shippo were asking rather annoying questions but he opted to ignore them.
"Do you think Kagura is going to have a boy?" Souta asked Shippo.
"Yep!" He smiled. "My father had three sons and his father had two sons. I think that's all we know how to reproduce are boys. Which is way better than having a girl, they are so annoying and ask too many questions."
"Then what exactly are you and Souta doing?"
"We are gathering information." Shippo laughed. "That's different."
"What are you two doing?" Izayio and Kagura walked into the living room both with a cup of tea in their hands.
"Talking to Sesshomaru about the baby."
Kagura couldn't help but to laugh. "Talking about the baby, did you answer their questions hon?"
"There weren't any questions that were worth answering." Sesshomaru replied coolly.
"Well he did tell us that he wasn't anyone slave not even yours." Souta reminded him of what he said earlier.
Kagura raised a brow as she looked at Sesshomaru. "So you aren't anyone's slave including me?" she couldn't help but to smirk. Sesshomaru cleared his throat but didn't say anything. "What else did he say boys."
"Nothing else he just ignored us. We asked if he was happy that you were having a baby. He didn't say anything."
Izayio laughed. "I'm quite sure that he is happy you two. Just because he isn't showing his emotions doesn't necessarily mean he isn't glad that Kagura is having their first child."
"I want you to have a boy sis."
"I wouldn't be surprised if Kagura has a boy but maybe there's a little girl resting in that belly of yours." Izayio touched Kagura's tummy although it wasn't visible everyone knew that there was a growing baby inside.
"Are you ready?" Sesshomaru asked standing up and fixed his shirt.
"Yes, well we will see you all later. I have a doctor's appointment today."
"This is so exciting. I cannot wait for the baby to be born. He or she is going to be spoiled rotten."
Sesshomaru let out an exasperated sigh, "Please do not spoil the child mother."
"Now why shouldn't I? After all this baby will be our very first grandchild. Ginjiro and I will have to spoil our grandbaby."
"We should get going Kagura; we don't want to be late."
"Kay, I'll talk him into it." Kagura whispered as she gave Izayio a kiss on the cheek.
"I wonder if Fluffy is going to be a good dad." Shippo thought out loud.
"I'm quite sure that Sesshomaru will be a great father, he did learn from the best. You two go upstairs. I will let you know when Inuyasha and Kagome get here."
"Sure thing mom!" Both Shippo and Souta zoomed pass Izayio as they ran upstairs with full speed.

Things have been going quite nicely after Inuyasha's return from the Youkai Council. It's been a whole month since he had the meeting and Inuyasha had made some improvements. Although he was prone to get upset every once and a while, Kagome could see that he was at least putting up an effort to change and try to be happy and make the marriage bearable.
"You aren't ready yet?" Inuyasha was sitting on the bed flipping through the channels trying to find something to watch while Kagome was in the bathroom changing for the fifth time. "Just pick an outfit."
"It's not that Inuyasha, I want to wear something that says 'hey isn't this bad or what?'"
"Since when did you become obsessed with clothing?"
"I wouldn't say I'm obsessed with clothing, I'm a woman we have some degree of wanting to look good."
"Yeah but we're going to an amusement park. I don't think you have to dress all up just to go to an amusement park."
"Have you been to an amusement park when you were a teenager?"
"Sure plenty of times."
"Didn't you want to dress up to impress some girl or something?"
Inuyasha thought about the first time when Miroku and Bankotsu and him gone and he wanted to impress Kikyo. He immediately placed that thought to the back of his head. No use in thinking of old memories. "Sure but..."
"My point exactly." Kagome voice held triumph. "I'll be out in a couple of minutes, can you wait that long?"
"Does it look like a have a choice, princess?"
"I so love your pet name for me Inuyasha, it makes me feel so loved." Kagome laughed messing with him.
Inuyasha couldn't help but to smirk as he waited for her to come out. His ears twitched as the door opened revealing what Kagome had on.
"So what do you think?"
"If I say it looks nice, can we leave?"
"No you have to actually mean it."
Kagome wore a black and blue crop top with a black tank underneath. She had on blue jeans with black and blue sandals to match. Her accessories consist of matching earrings and bracelets.
"You are such a teenager." Inuyasha said with a smirk on his face.
"So that means you don't like it." Kagome said examining herself in the mirror. "Well I don't care what you think, I like it."
"Hold on, so when I did say that the other two outfits you had on were nice you quickly change. But if I didn't like it you are going to wear it."
"Pretty much."
"That is so messed up Kagome and here I thought a wife was supposed to please her husband." Inuyasha teased.
"Oh don't start that wife crap with me Inuyasha. Besides I like it when you call me princess, it rings a bell."
"Sure thing princess." He laughed as he grabbed his keys and turned the television off. "Now are you ready to go or do you need to do another 30 minute dress rehearsal?"
"I'm ready geez. I can't wait to get my own car."
"Well until then you are stuck with me driving and since when did you learn how to drive?"
"Oh that's my secret, now come on we have to go get my little brother and Shippo at your parent's house. We are already running late."
"And I wonder who is to blame for us being late?"
"Yours now come on."

"I can't believe that you were screaming like that Kagome. I knew you were scared." Inuyasha said as he, Shippo, Kagome, and Souta got off another crazy roller coaster.
"I was screaming because it makes the ride more enjoyable and fun. I wasn't scared I rode it a million times with my friends."
"Inuyasha was trying to be tough on the last ride though." Souta pointed out. "Who would have thought we would have to beg him to get on."
"Big bro is always trying to be tough; I think he acts like that to try to impress people." Shippo laughed as the two boys raced off to another ride.
The four of them were out for more than five hours and pretty much rode all the major roller coasters. They were all having a pleasant time and the amusement park wasn't all that crowded, although more people were arriving by the minute.
"So which ride should we get on next?"
"Maybe we should get on a ride where the two of you meet height requirement." Inuyasha teased them once again. Although they were 11 years old, both Souta and Shippo were short for their age.
"We met all the height requirements for all the rides we rode so far. Stop teasing us or we will take you on that ride that Sesshomaru told me you were scared to get on."
Kagome raised a brow as she stopped dead in her tracks and looked at Inuyasha. "He's scared of a ride? What ride?"
"I'm not scared of any ride. I've been here more than all of you combined."
"Which ride is he scared of getting on?"
"You're going to laugh when I show you, I want it to be a surprise. Come on follow me." Shippo dashed off with Souta trailing not too far behind.
"I gotta see this. The ride that Inuyasha is scared to get on." Kagome giggled as Inuyasha rolled his eyes in slight annoyance.
The ride was on the other side of the amusement park and when they finally arrived Kagome couldn't help but to giggle a bit. "So this is the ride that you are scared to get on?"
"Man Inuyasha this was my first ride when I first came to the amusement park." Souta teased.
"Big bro said that Inuyasha was scared out of his mind when they rode this. Mom said that he was such a soldier when he finally conquered his fear."
"Shippo I'm going to kill you." Inuyasha gritted.
"Aww Inuyasha do you want me to hold your hand while we're on the ride. I promise we can pay the operator to go slow so you won't have to cry."
"Shut it, I was young when I rode this and the only reason I was scared was because that jerk Sesshomaru use to torture me and say he would throw me off." Inuyasha folded his arms across his chest.
"Who would have thought that Inuyasha would be scared of a kiddy ride?"
"Yeah he's just a big softy as mom would say."
"Whatever, while we are all going back to my childhood, we should get something to eat and get on a couple more rides. The park should be closing in another couple of hours." Inuyasha walked off.
The gang decided to get something to eat which Inuyasha paid for. The park was nearing closing and many people were leaving. Shippo and Souta wanted to ride one more ride as they begged Inuyasha to stay for a couple more minutes.
"Come Yash, we want to ride one more ride."
"Yeah Inuyasha just one more."
"It's almost time to go guys. Most of the rides are being shut down for the night." Inuyasha pointed out.
"Maybe next time guys and we pretty much rode every ride out here."
"All except for one." Shippo pointed at a water ride.
"Well it looks like they are still accepting riders, I guess we can ride it."
"You three can ride it, I think I'm going to sit this one out." Kagome let out a yawn.
"Oh no, you're coming Kagome."
"What? No Inuyasha, I don't do water rides."
"You don't do water rides huh?" Inuyasha raised a brow with interest. "Then may I ask what is it that you do?"
"I'm not getting on Inuyasha. You three can but I'm going to sit this one out."
"Sis doesn't ride water rides because she thinks that the same thing will happen to her."
"What's that?"
"Some lady rode a ride similar to this and the ride flipped over and the lady drowned."
"So you're scared to get on any water ride?"
"I'm not scared Inuyasha I just don't want to get on the ride because I'm tired." Kagome took a seat on a nearby bench.
"Oh no, you aren't getting off that easy. If you can make fun of me then you should get on the ride with us and I am not taking no for an answer." Inuyasha grabbed Kagome wrists.
"Inuyasha let me go! I am not getting on that ride."
"Kagome calm down you're making a scene." Inuyasha was stifling his laughter.
"Yeah come on sis, it's going to be fun, especially the bridge part."
"Inuyasha let go, I do not want to get on the ride!" Kagome yelled out.
"Fine, your lost." Inuyasha released her wrist. "See you in a little bit."
Kagome walked towards the exit ramp waiting for Inuyasha, Souta, and Shippo to get off the ride. She saw that they were getting on ride and waved at them.
"I can't believe Kagome didn't want to get on the ride. She's going to miss the best part where you can get soaking wet on the bridge." Shippo said his voice full of excitement. "Oh well."
"Hey I got an idea." Inuyasha quickly sprinted towards Kagome. It was about 20 seconds from the next splash down and Inuyasha quickly scooped Kagome up without her noticing it.
"Inuyasha what the heck are you doing put me down."
"Not until you get wet Kagome." Inuyasha held on to Kagome tightly making sure that she couldn't go anywhere.
"Inuyasha I'm going to kill you."
"Well you better do it fast cause we're about to get soaked."
Kagome turned her head and saw the huge wave headed their way. She quickly buried her head in the crook of Inuyasha's neck and closed her eyes tightly.
…..xxx…..
After the water ride incident Kagome didn't talk to Inuyasha for the remainder of the night. Souta and Shippo got a kick out of it and Inuyasha's parents were pleased to see that Inuyasha and Kagome were having a good time, although Izayio did take Kagome's side when Inuyasha got her wet.
"So you aren't going to talk to me huh?" Inuyasha was lying on the bed.
Kagome didn't say anything as she walked into the bathroom. She needed to take a shower, one she was out all day and two since Inuyasha wanted to be a jerk she now smelled like a wet puppy.
Kagome opened the bathroom door and turned off the lights. She pulled the covers back and got in the bed, her back facing Inuyasha.
"So you're going to keep this up. It's no big deal Kagome; it was just a little water. And a little water never hurt anybody."
"I could have gotten sick Inuyasha."
"It's the middle of March Kagome, I doubt that. You gotta come up with a better excuse than that."
"Well you found out I don't like water rides because of that lady who got killed on it."
"But it wasn't the ride we got on. So why would you be scared of that happening when it wasn't the same ride?"
"Whatever I'm still upset with you."
"Maybe I should fix that."
"No, you should just let me go to sleep."
"Well you want to know a little secret."
"And what might that be?"
"It felt good to have you in my arms like that. It felt right, that's why I didn't let you go."
With that Inuyasha fell asleep with a blush staining Kagome's cheeks.
