Touga was about to shred the obi the prevented him direct access to his pups only to have his mate smack his hand. He glared at her until she said, "It's all I have to wear Touga." Using that moment to remove it allowing him access to her bare stomach quickly it was large and round. He caressed it he had missed so much he buried his nose into it making a rumbling in his chest letting his pups know that their sire was there, and wanted them. He looked up at her with lust filled eyes and kissed her both roughly as well as passionately. He quickly stripped he had to have her he missed his mate. He quickly reclaimed her as his own by the time they were done he looked over at his mate she was sleeping peacefully. He covered her and pulled her next to him. He buried his head in her hair before resting his nose on her neck where his mark was eventually he drifted off himself.

The next morning a knock was heard at the door causing Touga to growl he covered his mate before saying, "Come in." He most certainly wasn't ready to get up or to leave his mate she had just returned to him. If he had his way he'd kill whoever dared to knock on his door but he knew it would upset his mate. He couldn't stand her being mad at him right now. There stood both InuYasha and Sesshomaru with panicked looks on their face. Relief washed over them when they saw Sarah lying there asleep in the bed. Sesshomaru was first to speak saying, "Sorry Father we were just concerned about her, and the pups as she left alone, and against our wishes."

Touga growled at his sons until he heard Sarah say, "Don't be mad at them I snuck off. I had no choice the pups were so stressed, and the mating mark was causing pain. The pups were suffering, it was worth it to try to go over the storm Ah-Un took me he could tell I needed to go."

Touga looked at his mate putting his nose near her mark licking it he could feel the heat coming from it, he knew, it had caused her discomfort he sunk his fangs into her shoulder causing her body to both flush, and shutter in response. He looked up at his sons, and said, "She is fine I understand her reasoning, I was in distress, and the pups were in distress."

They nodded relieved that she truly was all right they left closing the door behind them only to see it fly open a moment later with a panicked naked male rushing out yelling, "Get the midwife something's wrong with my mate."

Midwives rushed into the room and closed the door behind them leaving a pacing worried male in the hallway. Sesshomaru placed his hand on his sire's shoulder, and said, "I do believe she is delivering, the pups they are way past due."

He paced more and growled every time he heard his mate scream in pain. He felt so incredibly guilty. He hadn't been with her throughout her pregnancy. He had missed so much, and he had so wanted to spend the next few days with her taking in her scent and bonding with his unborn pups.

Sarah groaned the midwife said, "Next contraction push." Sarah didn't need to be told twice while she had hoped her, and her mate could bond a few days before the pups arrived. She couldn't wait to see them either.

Soon she felt the pressure, and pain so Sarah started pushing, and continued pushing until she heard an infant's cry. She watched as they cleaned the pup up they showed her the pup before taking it out to its Father. Sarah was now back to pushing for the second pup. The younger midwife took the pup out to the General, and said, "It's a healthy male, sir."

Touga took his son and unwrapped him to look him over he was surprised, to say the least when the Northern symbol was on his forehead. Sesshomaru patted his sire's back saying, "It seems you have mated the Northern princess. You shall rule these lands until my brother here is old enough to do so."

Soon the woman was back out saying, "You may come in now your mate is ready to see you." She couldn't help but to smile at the stunned look on their faces.

Touga rushed into his mate to see the second pup also male in her arms. He returned the first to his Mother. Sarah, in turn, placed him on her chest so that both would have a chance to feed. Touga growled at the sight saying, "It seems I will have to be Lord of the North at least until our son is old enough to do so.

Sarah smiled saying, "I was wondering what that mark on your head meant." She knew he would do a good job as a lord he most certainly had experience in doing the job.

As soon as the room was cleaned the midwives all left Sesshomaru, and InuYasha left shortly after to allow their Father to bond with his new pups. Touga climbed into bed with his mate holding her close while looking at his pups saying, "Next time we have pups I promise to be there through the pregnancy."

Sarah kissed his forehead saying, "How about we just enjoy these two, and each other for a while before we plan on more?" Sure she wouldn't mind more at some point in the future but for right now she just wanted to care for these two, and spend time with her mate.

Touga smirked before kissing her cheek saying, "Can you blame me I have the most beautiful woman for a mate." He most definitely couldn't wait for her to be healed from delivery. He had sorely missed her body, and as soon as she was ready, he was going to indulge in it as often as possible.
