Chapter 12: Happy Father's Day!

"You think your dad will like the tie and the suit?" Kagome asks as she sets the large decorated box on their bed.

"Mostly like," Inuyasha states with a shrug as he ties his hair into a bun. "You've know him longer than I have."

"But he's retired, so there won't be a need for it. He isn't going to any business meeting any time soon," she states while biting her bottom lip.

"Well, seeing that Rin is still with 'stick up his ass', I'm sure he'll need a suit for their wedding,"

"Can you be nice to your brother?"

"Nope."

Kagome rolls her eyes in response. Her husband chuckles as he turns around and looks at her.

"Look, when I asked him what he wanted last week, he said a suit, so we're good."

"Did you call him?"

"Yes, I called him while you we're giving Katsuo a bath."

"Good, good," Kagome states as she walks towards the dresser and looks through her jewelry box.

"What do you and your family have planned for today?"

"Just the usual. Go see dad's grave then take grandpa out for lunch."

Inuyasha nods as he glances at her from the corner of his eyes at her. Her father had died ten years ago, when she was seventeen, from lung cancer. Ever since he met Kagome, he knew that family was important to her and he knew her father's death had an impact on her. However, she continued to be the hardworking and passionate woman that he loves.

"I wish I co-"

"I know, Inu," Kagome quickly says with a small forced grin. "We can visit daddy another day." Inuyasha nods his head in response before turning around to look at the mirror. He sighs as he stares at his reflection; he wished he could take the pain away from her, but he couldn't.

"Did you like your gift from your son?" Kagome asks, snapping Inuyasha out of his thought.

"Huh?"

"The gift you got from your son, do you like it?" Kagome repeats with a giggle. Inuyasha rolls his eyes before turning around to grab his messenger bag for the bed. His son, with the help of his mother, gave him a mug that said '#1 Dad'. The white mug was covered in different colored handprints that belonged to Katsuo.

"It was the best. Going to put it on my desk so I can see it every day," Inuyasha states as he turns around and grabs the mug off the dresser. Kagome giggles as she watches her husband put the mug into his duffle bag. She can't wait to see his reaction for his next Father's Day gift.

"You're leaving so soon?" She asks as he puts the duffle bag's strap on his shoulder.

"Yeah. I know the restaurant is going to be busy today and I don't want my workers to be overwhelmed," Inuyasha tells her as he walks out their bedroom; Kagome follows him.

"Okay. I'll stop by after I leave my family's house," Kagome says as they stand in front of the door.

"Okay," Inuyasha says as he gives her a peck on the lips. Kagome grins as he pulls away from her lips. "I really enjoyed my Father's Day gifts," he tells her. Kagome had gotten him a new set knife for the house.

"I'm glad," she says with a grin before leaning up and giving him another kiss on the lips. She pulls away and places her hands on his chest before shouting: "Katsuo! Come say bye-bye to dada!"

Inuyasha smirks as he hears knees and hands slamming on the hard wood floor. He had started crawling two months ago. He watches his son crawl out the living room and towards him.

"Mama!" A ten-month-old Katsuo screams as he quickly crawls towards his father.

"He still can't say dada, huh?" Inuyasha dryly mutters as he bends down and picks up his son. Kagome giggles as she looks at the two. "What can I say? He loves his mama."

Inuyasha rolls his eyes as he gives his son a kiss on the head before reaching up to rub his ear; Katsuo lets out a purr in response.

"Say bye bye dada," Kagome coos as she taps Katsuo's shoulder.

"Mama," Katsuo mumbles as he leans his head against Inuyasha's head.

"Love you too buddy," Inuyasha mumbles. He gives Katsuo another kiss on the head before handing him to Kagome.

"Okay, see you two later," Inuyasha says as he kisses Kagome's head as well before opening the door. Kagome steps back and watches Inuyasha walk out the door. Once he's out the door, Kagome closes it and locks it behind him. She looks down at Katsuo's whose hands are on her chest and is staring up at her.

"You ready to see Grandma Rari, Uncle Sota, and Grandpa?" Kagome coos as she sways from side to side. She turns around and starts walking towards the living room.

"Mama!" Katsuo shouts in glee. Kagome chuckles as she kisses the top of his head.

"Okay. But before we get ready, let's practice our little surprise, for daddy shall we?"

"Yayayayay!"

"That's the spirit, son!"

Later that Afternoon

"I'm going to take my break," Inuyasha tells the chefs and servers in the kitchen.

He hears a lot of people grunt before making his departure. He walks down the hallway and walks around the corner. He runs his hands through his hair as he continues to walk; he was tired. Once he reaches his office's door, he grasps the door knob and twists it open.

As he walks into his office, his eyes widen as he sees Kagome sitting behind his desk on her phone while Katsuo plays with a ball next to his desk.

"Hey," he greets as he closes the door.

"Hi," Kagome responds back while setting her phone down. She stands up and smiles at him.

"How was your everything?" He questions.

"Good. Sota and Hitomi cleaned off daddy's grave and we put a fresh pair of daisies on them," Kagome tells him referring to her younger brother and his wife. "They got grandfather a new priest robe."

"Did he like our gift?"

"Oh, he loved it," Kagome says. They had paid for him to go on a trip to a Shinto shrine in the country like part of Japan. On his trip, he would also enjoy a peaceful time at a hot spring as well.

"I'm glad," Inuyasha says as he takes off his dirty chef jacket and throws it on the leather couch next to his door. "So, what did you want to do? Want me to get Rin to get you a table?"

"In a minute," Kagome says as she grabs a piece of paper off his desk. "Katsuo has a surprise for you."

"What? He's going to say dada?" Inuyasha mockingly asks as he wipes his hands on the apron wrapped around his waist.

"You're such a baby about that," Kagome says with laughter embedded in her voice.

Inuyasha rolls his eyes at her but smirks at his wife's laughter. It did hurt him a little that his son couldn't or didn't want to say dada. But as long as he was learning, he was okay about it.

"It's show time, Kat," Kagome tells him with a smile. She hands Katsuo the piece of paper that she got from Inuyasha's desk. Katsuo tightly grabs it and looks down at it. "Okay, Kat. Let's do what we practice."

Inuyasha raises a brow as Kagome stands their son up. She raises his arms up and grasp his wrist.

"Okay, now, it's one, two, one two," Kagome starts to count off as they walk towards Inuyasha.

"Oh my gosh! When did he start doing this?!" Inuyasha shouts in shock. He quickly bends down and opens his arms. Katsuo screams as he continues to shift from one foot to the other. "Come here, Katsuo. Come to dada!"

Kagome smiles as she and her son continue to walk towards Inuyasha. Once they're a few steps away from Inuyasha, Kagome lets go of Katsuo's wrist. She bends down and watch with small tears in her eyes as their son stumbles towards Inuyasha. Kagome had practice this with Katsuo one week ago, ever since he stood himself up from the couch.

Unlike her husband, she had successful recorded the incident. She had recorded when he first stood up on his own and when he took his first steps. Although she knows Inuyasha will be mad at her for not telling her about his first steps, she knew that this surprise would make up for it.

She snaps out of her thought as Katsuo falls into his father's open arms.

"Ohhh! I love you so much!" Inuyasha shouts in glee as he stands up and kisses Katsuo's cheek. Katsuo squeals as he wraps his arms around his father's head.

"Dada! Dada!"

"This is the best day ever!" Inuyasha shouts as he twirls around and continues to kiss his son's chubby cheek. Kagome's eyes widen as Katsuo says dada, this was his first time say that. 'We did not practice that,' she thinks with a huge smile.

"I love you," Inuyasha says as he kisses his son's cheek again and again.

"Calm down, daddy," Kagome tells him with a giggle. "Look at the paper that Katsuo and I worked on."

Inuyasha kisses his son again before searching for the paper Kagome was talking about.

"Now, what did you make for dada?" Inuyasha asks as he reaches up and takes the paper from his fist. He shakes it out to see the words on it.

Kagome smiles as she watches her husband look at the gift from her and their son.

"It says-"Inuyasha starts to say as he looks at the paper. He pauses as he reads it over again. In white and blue paint, it reads: Happy Father's Day! Love, Katsuo, Mommy, and Baby #2.

"Bab-ba-baby 2?" Inuyasha stutters as he looks at his crying wife. Kagome nods as she wipes the tears off her cheeks. "What, Kag-"

"I know we said we were going to wait until Kat turned two," Kagome states while smiling at him. "But I went to the doctor's last week and they told me that I was 6 weeks pregnant."

"I can't, we, wow!" Inuyasha says in utter shock.

"Dada! Dada!"

Inuyaha chuckles as he looks down at his son. He gives him a kiss on the head before turning to face Kagome. "Come here."

Kagome walks towards him and wraps her arm around his waist. He wraps his free arm around her and kisses her head as well. They both let out happy sigh as they just stand in each other's presences.

"Are you happy?" She asks as she rubs his back.

"Words can't express it!"

Kagome giggles as she looks up at him. "I love you."

"I love you too," he mumbles as he bends down and kisses her. She was going to deepen the kiss, but Katsuo places his hand on top of her head and grabs her hair. She giggles as she pulls away and looks up at him.

"What, Kat?"

"Dada!"

Inuyasha chuckles as he squeezes the two most important people in his life to his body.

"This is the best Father's Day!"
