Chapter Thirty Seven
Sesshomaru sat in the window- his usual perch- and listened to the sounds that filled the early morning air. Birds were chirping, a few crickets were still singing their songs, and he could hear the faint fall of dew on the ground as fog rolled across the landscape and the sun rose. He believed he could never truly grow tired of watching the sun rise and fall each day. Each sunrise was different and unique, if you took the time to watch and appreciate it. He felt Rins slender arms snake around him from behind and her belly pressed into his back.
"So beautiful," she murmured against his shoulders. Always one for sleeping in, Rin had enjoyed many many sunsets with Sesshomaru, but only a handful of sunrises.
"Yes it is. I was wondering when you'd wake...you've been sleeping for a day and a half."
"That long?," she balked.
"Yes...seems our activities at the hot spring wore you out. That's to be expected though...we did go for an awful long time."
"How lon-"
"Six hours," he admitted sheepishly.
"Wow..."
"Sleeping could also be attributed to the baby...I hope he makes an appearance soon...the waiting is..."
"The waiting sucks," she nodded in agreement.
"Yes it does."
"So...have you thought of any names?", she inquired.
"Hmm...no actually I thought you'd be the one to name the child."
"Do you...I'm so confused. Why are you so flippant and 'whatever you want' over this baby? Is it just a means to an end for you I wonder? Just the product of taking me as your mate and nothing more?,"
"No no no, Rin. No. Don't think like that. No don't ever think that. I do want this baby it's just...after five centuries telling myself I would never be a father, would never find a mate, would never have any of this...it's still hard to swallow sometimes."
"Hard to...swallow?"
"I don't mean it like that," he quickly backtracked. "I mean it like. I feel like I'm stumbling around blind in the darkness reaching for answers to questions I haven't even formed yet. I feel completely and utterly useless and lost. For there is nothing I can do to help you bring this child into the world beyond holding your hand and watching you in the most painful moment of your life."
"It won't be so bad. I'll have Kagome...and Kaede. How many hundreds of babies do you think she's delivered successfully?"
"I know...I know. But I'm sure she's not delivered many demon babies in her time. I don't know Rin...I don't know if I can do this."
"Do what?," she laughed.
"I can't let you go through labor not knowing the outcome," he shook his head. "I won't lose you."
"Well sweetheart...it's a little late for that," she patted her stomach. "You're just going to have to look on the positive side, okay?"
"I need to make the Tensaiga stronger...that's what I need to do. If I can unleash the swords full potential, I can save you as many times as I please."
"Sesshomaru I-"
"Of course I'll have to pay that dreadful Totosai a visit," he shivered. "Shouldn't take more than a couple of days...I can't very well leave the Tensaiga with you...but if Inuyasha is here then...maybe I can leave the sheath for you and just take the sword-"
"No! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! You are NOT leaving me again," she shrieked and his ears twitched in protest.
"But Rin I have to-"
"Tell Totosai to come here. Or I'll go with you. But you're NOT LEAVING ME HERE ALONE AGAIN!"
"Rin sweetheart..."
"No! Don't sweetheart me! I'm pissed! You PROMISED you wouldn't leave me anymore!" Her lip quivered and tears began to spill down her cheeks, which Sesshomaru wiped away feverently. He turned around and pulled her close against his chest. Rin couldn't stay upset when she was wrapped in the cradle of his arms.
"I just...love you...so much. Please don't go? Please?," her pleas were muffled against his chest and his heart shattered.
"I won't. I'm sorry. I'll have Inuyasha go in my stead...or I'll send Jaken to fetch Totosai. But I won't leave you, promise."
"Swear? Swear I won't wake up to an empty bed?,"
"Swear," he smiled down at her but she didn't fully buy it.
"When will you send for Totosai then?"
"I'll talk to my brother about it today and have answers for you tonight...is that alright with you, wife?" He raised an eyebrow.
"I suppose, husband," she gave a tiny smile.
"Good! Now you, my lovely wife, are expecting a visitor this morning."
"Who's that?,"
"Kaede?," he offered and flashed his teeth.
"No. Way. You got her to agree to come here! How?!"
"I knew the old coot wouldn't miss the birth of your child...also I suspect her to be rather curious."
"I've told her a lot about the castle."
"Yes, I'm sure that's part of her making the journey. I was certain she would make us come to her."
"Well I'm glad we can stay home. I like that word...home."
"Home," he tested the word. "Yes. Home and Rin go quite nice together. "Home to Rin"...hmm," he trailed off and pulled her into a breathtaking, head spinning kiss. How? She wondered. How could he have that affect on her? Was it the same for him? Sesshomaru moaned into her mouth.
"Okay yeah probably the same for him," she thought and flexed her hips against him.
"Ready again? You've just woken up..."
"After sleeping a day and a half...I'm due," she batted her eyelashes. Sesshomaru growled in response and picked her up swiftly, walking right bast the bed and into the bath.
...
Yeah it's a short is butttt...Everyone needs a little fluff right?
Totally Inuyasha unrelated BUT have any of you heard that Carol FUCKIN Baskin is going to be on Dancing With the Stars?! Because I'm triggered.
