Yukiko didn't even look up; when he came in she could easily smell blood on him. She said, "I think you've spent too much time with your brother."

InuYasha chuckled replying, "In this case, I felt it was needed to show them I mean business." Yukiko suddenly felt wet between her legs she looked at her mate, and calmly said, "InuYasha the pups are coming."

InuYasha picks her up bridal style and rushes her to the birthing room after he is abruptly tossed out being told men aren't allowed; he sends his fastest messenger to get Sesshomaru. InuYasha paces back and forth until he's joined by Sesshomaru who starts talking to him to keep his mind off of things. Several hours passed, and no word InuYasha was getting nervous.

Suddenly he could hear her screaming loudly, he rushed to barge in but Sesshomaru held him back saying, "I'll send Kagome in to check on her they will hurt you if you try to enter now."

Kagome went into the room after a few moments she rushed out to Sesshomaru saying, "Quickly get your midwife, and bring her here."

Before InuYasha could find anything out Kagome had ducked back into the birthing room. But Akina came out to him, and said, "Lord InuYasha" He looked at her, and asked, "Tell me what's wrong."

Akina replied, "Your mate is delivering twins, and they're both trying to get out at once."

InuYasha waves to her for her to go back in just as Sesshomaru arrives with the other midwife. InuYasha is on the floor his head in his hands when Sesshomaru asks, "What's going on?"

InuYasha replies, "Its twin pups they're both trying to come out at once." Sesshomaru says, "Your mate is strong she will be fine."

InuYasha's ears fall down as he says, "She's never going to let me touch her again that is if she lives through this."

Sesshomaru chuckles replying, "You have too little faith in your mate she will do everything she can to make sure both she and her pups are fine."

Suddenly everything is quiet InuYasha looks at the door and waits a few tense moments pass then he hears a baby cry. A few minutes afterwards Akina comes out with a bundle in her arms, and hands it to InuYasha saying, "You have a daughter my lord."

InuYasha unwraps the bundle, and nuzzled his daughter before looking her over, and holding her little hand. Sesshomaru looks at the pup, and says, "She seems to look a lot like your mate."

After some time Kagome comes out saying, "Ok guys you can come in now."

InuYasha, and Sesshomaru both enter the room InuYasha places the first pup into her mother's arms next to the second. It's then he realizes they are identical. InuYasha asks, "How on earth am I supposed to tell them apart?"

Yukiko couldn't help but to giggle replying, "I'm fine to thank you, and I'm sure we will manage." InuYasha kisses his mates cheek saying, "Thank you for my two beautiful daughters."

Yukiko smirks saying, "Well we do still need to make you an heir once our daughters are old enough that is." InuYasha is shocked for a moment before replying, " You just let me know when you're ready I can wait."

He kissed her cheek and nuzzled each pup both of which are truly identical right down to their scent. He couldn't help thinking how lucky he was to have his two girls and his mate who always put him first making sure to put his worries quickly to rest.

It would take at least a year before his mate would go into heat again, but he was now sure that they would be mating once she was healed from childbirth. He couldn't be happier, or proud than he was at this moment and he most definitely couldn't wait for her body to have healed so that they could mate again.
