Totosia was snoring loudly, and Sesshomaru took over the fire sitting close to her.

His eyes kept darting back to her. She was gone, sleeping heavily. No doubt the force of his demonic power hit her hard. Sesshomaru put the stick down and slowly moved his hand to hover over her belly.

But he could not get a good read so slowly he let his hand fall to lay on top of her shirt. He still could not feel anything. Slowly he moved his hand under her shirt and his palm laid against her warm skin.

And there it was.
