Rin awoke from her sleep only to find herself within Sesshomaru's embrace. She snuggled closer to him before remembering the change in Kazuki. She stood up gently so as not to awaken her mate and slowly made her way to her son's room. She opened the door softly and found her son sleeping peacefully, she walked over and sat on the side of his bed and watched him sleep. She missed that she had never gotten that chance too often, the urge to be a mother rose within her and she wished she could reset time.
She made her way back to her room and found Sesshomaru awake, she greeted him with a kiss and he pulled her close, nuzzling her neck. "Couldn't resist checking in on Kazuki could you Rin?" He asked with a chuckle. He could smell the child within her but he chose to wait to tell her. Rin smiled and left to take a quick shower, she came back to find Sesshomaru sitting in a chair and motioning for her to sit with him.
"Rin….I know you did not get the chance to be a Mother to Kazuki, but I feel you need to know you are carrying another pup within you. I scented him this morning and I know it will be another male." Rin sat in silence, she had not thought to be a mother again so soon after just getting Kazuki back.
"How will he take it? I do not want him feeling he has been replaced, he would really feel abandoned." She said, Sesshomaru pulled her close nuzzling her mark. Rin knew he would take care of matters in a delicate manner. He stood as he got ready to leave. "Enjoy your hunting with Kazuki" she called.
Kazuki had just caught a moose as he was preparing it the way Sesshomaru had taught him. "Kazuki….There is a reason I suggested we hunt today as there is a matter we must discuss. Your mother is expecting another male pup and she did not wish you to feel replaced." He said gently. Kazuki's eyes widened slightly.
"If she is expecting then there is no reason for me to stay?" he asked, he wished to get to know his mother and father and with the new pup that would not happen. He wanted the chance to change.
"No, she does wish you to stay, she does not want you to leave at all. In fact you will be my heir to the Western Lands regardless of how many pups your mother bears me." Sesshomaru said. Kazuki relaxed some as he picked up the remains of the moose meat to carry home. Sesshomaru knew it was wise of Rin to not approach the topic with Kazuki.
As they entered the palace, Kazuki took the meat to the kitchens after his father told him to help prepare the meal. Rin was sitting on their bed reading when he had entered the room. He sat beside her, "He knows and he thought exactly as you believed he would. I have explained that the new pup will in no way take his place as he is still the first born. He shall be my true heir regardless of the number of pups. Rin slid onto his lap as he hugged her close, she just needed her mate and husband, his aura, his embrace, everything about him comforted her. He flipped her over onto the bed gently.
"Kazuki is downstairs helping with the meal, no ears to hear you Rin" Sesshomaru said as he nuzzled into her neck nipping on her ear gently. Rin moaned softly and slid her arms around his neck gently.
A/N: Sorry, cliffhanger, but I am exhausted and must sleep. I promise to get the next chapter up as soon as possible, and I promise it will have the rest of the lemon and it may be extra graphic. Just a warning. LOTS of foreplay and maybe a bit of brutality (Rin will love it)
