Last Time:

"How did I get so lucky as to get a woman like you by my side?" I asked as we pulled apart. She just smiled at me and leaned up to kiss me again and I met her halfway and kissed her with everything I had.


-Mia-

"Sessh, where are we going?" I whined as he pulled at my hand as we walked through the forest. "I'm tired and want to go to bed. Being with a canine pup, I'm already halfway through and it is putting a strain on my body."

"I know my love, we're almost there," he replied quietly and I growled at him, making him stop. He looked at me with a smirk then pulled me into his arms bridal style and kissed the top of my head. "Look."

I looked the way we had been headed and saw the trees ending. Sesshomaru started walking with me in his arms and we came upon a two story house. The outside was made up of white stone from what I could see in the moonlight. The house was surrounded on three sides by the woods and the side that was empty of woods was the road or driveway. The house reminded me of the Edo palace that I had seen paintings of and was similar to the moon palace. There was a stone wall around it that went maybe to my shoulder and I caught glimpses of ponds.

"Who lives here?" I asked softly as I saw a shadow across the second floor window.

"We do," Sesshomaru spoke and I looked up at him in surprise. "I talked to our fathers about a place of our own and after you left we got to building it. Many of the things made, like the furniture are similar to what was in the Moon Palace. I thought it would be a good welcome home gift."

"It's beautiful," I smiled and kissed him on the cheek before I yawned and snuggled into his broad chest. "Thank you."

"You're welcome and I think the tour could hold off for another day so you can rest," Sesshomaru whispered and I closed my eyes as he started walking again.


-Sesshomaru-

Mia was asleep before we even got inside the house and several servants came into view but I dismissed them and carried Mia upstairs to the master bedroom. I felt something poke my stomach ad I looked down at Mia confused until I saw a small bulge appear in her stomach. I smiled and laid her on the bed and pulled off her shoes and dressed her into something comfortable then laid her under the covers. I looked at her for a couple seconds before I changed and got in with her and pulled her close.

'It seems like your pup recognizes you,' my beast whispered as I felt another nudge in my arm when I wrapped my arm around her waist.

'Indeed,' I smirked and closed my eyes and directed some of my jaki into her womb to calm the pup down before letting myself fall asleep.


-Mia-

I opened my eyes and saw a set of double doors that were open and it was gently raining outside and was light outside. I smiled until I felt a poke in my stomach. I looked down at my slightly swollen stomach and saw something bulging. I giggled quietly as I rested a hand on my stomach and felt the baby kick my hand.

"Morning my mate," I felt the warm body behind me stir and I looked up at him and smiled. "How did you sleep?"

"It was good although I've never felt our child kick before," I whispered as he kicked my brow.

"He started kicking last night after I got you into bed," he spoke calmly and I sat up and looked around.

There were two sets of double doors that were white in connection the white walls with red detail. The third set of double doors looked more like the doors that led out of the room. Across from the bed, on the opposite wall, was a cherry wood dresser and fresh cut roses of red and white in a vase. I slid out of the bed and the ceiling caught my eye. There was a chandelier in the center of the dark blue ceiling and there were white crescent moons around in a circle around the chandelier. I walked over to one of the double doors and opened it, revealing a large walk in closet and all my clothes were hanging up on one side and Sesshomaru's was on the other side. I walks over to the other doors and opened them and gasped. There was a large hot spring built into the floor and the water was cloudy from minerals in the water.

"I assume that you like it?" Sesshomaru spoke from behind me and I looked at him.

"It's amazing."

"Care to join me before I show you the rest of the house?" I nodded and let him pull my mid-thigh silk spaghetti strapped nightgown off and I slipped into the steamy water. I sunk down so the water was up to my neck and sighed contently as Sesshomaru stripped and joined me.

After we were done in the hot springs and were dressed, Sesshomaru showed me around. On the second floor there were two other rooms that were empty at the moment and there was a library. Then we went downstairs. There was a great room, a music room, kitchen, dinning hall, and a couple more rooms and hot springs.

"The place is beautiful," I smiled as we reentered the dining hall where there was food on the table.

"Sir, Gaara is on the phone," a man came in wearing a penguin-tailed suit and handed Sesshomaru a cordless house phone.

"What is it?" Sesshomaru asked then went quiet for a minute or two. "I don't mind if you two come over." then he hung up.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I ate my eggs.

"He seemed slightly panicked as well a surprised. Something happened with Kit apparently," Sesshomaru frowned and I started laughing.

"Well guess Kit told him and he took the news as well as could be expected for him," I giggled as I finished eating.

"What do you know?" Sesshomaru frowned.

"You'll know when they get here," I smirked. "I'm going to walk around the grounds. Flare your jaki when they get here."

"Mia..."

"Don't worry, nothing is wrong."


-Gaara-

"Kit, I'm headed over to Sessh's, do you want to come?" I called up the stairs and Kit came skipping down, dressed and I caught her when she jumped at me. "I'm taking that as a yes."

We got into the car and I drove out over to the wooded area past the lake and sped up the long driveway. Kit seemed excited about something but I remained quiet, thinking that it was just the news about the baby. We pulled into the small circle area and got out. The door opened as we got close and Sesshomaru appeared and I felt him flare his jaki and frowned.

"Kit, you seem happy," Sesshomaru spoke with a slight frown. "Come back to the terrace."

We walked through the house and a familiar scent hit my nose but I couldn't place who's it was. Kit dashed past us and I swear I heard a chuckle from Sesshomaru as he ran his hand through his short black hair. We entered the backyard and I saw a girl with light brown hair with her back facing us as she sat on a seat talking with Kit.

"So you finally decided to show up," the girl turned and I froze.

"M-Mia...? When did you get back?" I stammered and she laughed.
