Author's Note: I'm a serious writer. With a questionable sense of humor. And a not-so-secret penchant for writing cracks.
No, I haven't slept in days, why do you ask?

a full nest
"Kagome," Sesshoumaru started, his normally even voice losing its last vestige of composure as he tried to appeal to her again for the seventh time, "we do not need any more children."
She looked at him scandalized as she cradled the orphaned demon infant to her breasts. The young babe instinctively nuzzled closer to her, already imprinting on her as his new mother, and Sesshoumaru knew he was losing in this futile argument.
Two rooms over, the demon lord could make out the clear sound of Rin and Shippou snickering. He made note to "discipline" the two older children at a later time after convincing his beloved that their nest was far from being empty.
"Kagome—" he could barely get her name out before a gentle tug on his hakama drew his attention and his eyes landed on a little doe-eyed human boy.
"Papa!" The boy happily latched himself onto his adopted father's leg, and Sesshoumaru looked up to meet his beloved's smug smile. He could have sworn the snickering had grown louder down the hall, but all he could do was sigh in resignation when Kagome strolled over, handing him the newly adopted orphan.
And certainly not the last, he realized with defeat.
