Summary: Inuyasha's one-night affair with Kagome leaves him bewitched, but he never even learned her last name. Almost eleven months later, driven by one incriminating photo, he finally tracks her down. And discovers two little babies who look just like him.

"You make a great mother Kagome."

Inuyasha's sensual voice seemed to float across her skin like a soft caress reminding her of that night he had touched it all over. She inhaled, not wanting to go there. Instead she tossed a thank-you over her shoulder and kept walking toward the living room, knowing he was following close behind.

The twins had been fed and put back to sleep, but not before she had given Inuyasha a quick lesson in diaper changing. He had even helped while Kagome had given them a bath and dressed them in new sleeping attire. And then he seemed determined to sit and hold Kairi for a while, actually rocking her to sleep. From the questions he'd asked, Kagome knew he was concerned with Kairi's weight. Although Kagome had tried to sound encouraging, she had to admit she too was worried about her daughter's weight. During their last routine doctor's visit, Dr. Hiroki had said if Kairi's weight wasn't up to what she considered a satisfactory level, he would be putting her in the hospital's special-care baby unit for a week. There she would be fed by a nasogastric tube.

Kagome hadn't told anyone of what the doctor had said, and had even led her family and friends to believe the twins would be okay to travel home to London within a month's time. She hadn't actually lied because she wanted to believe that would be the case. But her daughter seemed less inclined to take her breast milk and no matter what Kagome did, Kairi seemed unresponsive to any feeding stimulation.

"You okay Kagome?"

Inuyasha's question cut into her thoughts and she glanced over at him before she took a seat on the sofa. "Yes, I'm fine. Just a little tired. My family and friends were right, taking care of the both of them isn't easy as I thought it would be. I had a schedule prepared and thought it would be a piece of cake. I guess I was proven wrong."

Inuyasha sat in the chair across from her. "Did you really think you were a superwoman?"

She chuckled. "I wanted to believe I was. I guess starting tomorrow I'll begin my search for a nanny while I'm here."

"Are you planning to go somewhere?"

Kagome felt the weight of his gaze on her and glanced up to meet his eyes. They locked on hers. "Yes. Florida isn't my real home. I mean yes I was born and raised here, but I've been living in London for the past couple of years. I have a home there. I wanted the twins born in America, so I came back for their birth. It was never my intent to stay."

"I see."

She shrugged, thinking no, he really didn't see. Neither did her family and friends. Her mother meant well and so did her friends, but while they were here to help her, they had preferred doing practically everything for the babies and leaving her with nothing to do other than breastfeed them. Tonight, she had gotten her first real taste of motherhood by handling the twins on her own. Inuyasha had offered his help, but hadn't forced it on her and she appreciated that. Tonight she had felt in charge, sure of herself and her abilities. She closed her eyes, thinking that if she could only get Kairi to be more responsive to her feedings and gain weight, everything would be perfect.

"You're tired. Why don't you go to bed?"

She snatched her eyes back open and looked over at him, embarrassed that she'd almost fallen asleep while sitting. "No, I'm fine."

"No you're not. You've done a lot today. Motherhood is no joke, I have an all new respect for my friends' and colleagues wives who are new mothers."

Kagome smiled. "You make it sound like there are a lot of them."

He chuckled. "There are. Seems like an epidemic hit and pregnancy swept through my inner circle, especially with my brother and his wife Rin expecting a child. But nonetheless, it has made both my parents happy since they'd always wanted grandchildren."

"Do you plan on telling your family about the twins?"

A smile touched his lips. "Yes, but not yet. You think your family is bad, if I were to tell my mother she had more grandchildren somewhere, she would be on the first plane out here from California."

"California? Is that where you're from?"

"It's where I was born and raised. But I left when I was eight and we moved to New York, since that's where my father is originally from."

"And where in New York do you live?"

"Upper East Side."

Kagome blinked in surprise. He was from Upper East Side in New York? Well now that she looked at him and remembering what he did for a living, that didn't surprise her. "That night that we met, you said you weren't married. Have you ever been married?"

"No."

"Any other children?"

He shook his head. "Nope. The twins are my first and I feel grateful to have them. Thank you."

She knew why he was thanking her. "There's no reason to thank me. When I found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted them and never considered any other option." She didn't add that she'd known they would be a constant reminder of him and their one night together.

"Okay, that does it, you're falling asleep on me again." Inuyasha said.

Before she could catch her next breath, he had stood up, crossed the room and swept her into his arms. "Hey, put me down!"

"Not until I get you into bed."

Her heart jumped in her chest with his words. If only he knew the picture his words suddenly painted in her mind. "I can't go to bed yet, I have a lot of things to do."

He looked down at her. "Like what?"

She rolled her eyes. "I had my friends over for dinner so there's still dishes in the sink that I need to load in the dishwasher. Then the twins clothes that I washed earlier need to be folded and I need to take out the trash for tomorrow's morning pickup."

"Consider them all done. I'll handle it."

She glared up at him. "No, I can do it myself."

He glared back. "The only thing you have to do is take care of yourself, so you can in turn take care of my babies."

She frowned. "Your babies?"

A softening flickered in the depths of his golden eyes when he said. "Yes, my babies."

Kagome held his gaze and swallowed deeply, knowing there was no way she could deny what he'd said. They were his babies.

"Now are you going to be easy or will you be a troublemaker like our son?" He said, smiling.

She wished he wouldn't smile like that. Whenever he did, it stirred things up within her that she preferred to keep still. "Higurashi's aren't known to be troublemakers. So he must get it from your side of the family."

He chuckled. "Yea, we might be known to cause a little trouble. Especially me. But we can also be great husbands once we put our minds to it."

She rolled her eyes upward. "Spare me."

"Wish I could, but I can't." He said with a wry smile. "In fact, I plan to do just the opposite. Starting tonight I'm going to lay it on thick." After a brief pause, he asked. "Do you know what that means?"

She looked away from him and then said. "No."

He knew she was lying. She knew. "Well then I feel obliged to tell you. By the time I'm through with you, you'll be falling into my arms and agreeing to do anything I want."

Kagome snatched her gaze back to him, curled her lips and said. "Why are you so arrogant?"

"Am I?" He asked as he began walking toward her bedroom with her nestled in his arms.

"Yes."

"Never noticed."

She released a sigh, refusing to say anything else. She doubted it would do any good anyway. When he stopped walking, she glanced around and saw she was in her bedroom.

"Here you are." He said, angling her body to slide down his. Her sharp intake of breath was a dead giveaway that she had felt his arousal as her feet slid to the floor. Some things she figured just couldn't be hidden. And, she thought further, the heat simmering between them was another thing neither of them could hide. It was just like that first night. She had wanted him then and she hated admitting that she wanted him now.

When her feet touched the carpeted floor, she still held on to his shoulders and it seemed her body automatically swayed closer to his as if it needed the contact. She studied his features. "Micah favors you."

He smiled as he tightened his hands around her waist. "Yes, he resembles a Takahashi. And Kairi looks like you."

She nodded. "Apart from the fact she has your hair yea. We did pretty good didn't we? We make beautiful babies."

"Yea." He said huskily. "The result of perfect lovemaking."

She gave a little pleased smile. "You think so?"

"I know so. Close your eyes for a moment and remember it."

Kagome could feel the heat of his gaze on her the moment she closed her eyes. And then she remembered. It was the same dream she'd had earlier, before he had arrived. She recalled everything. The wanting, the desire, but most of all, the sensations she felt the moment he entered her and how he had fucked her with an intensity that even now could change the level of her breathing.

"Remembered enough?"

She slowly opened her eyes. It seemed his face had inched closer to hers. His lips were just a breath away. "No memories are as good as the real thing." She said.

"You think not?"

"I do." She responded.

"And what do you want me to do about it?"

Oh she knew exactly what she wanted him to do about it, although she knew better. It was an insane thought, but no more insane than the night they had met on the beach. And although he had appeared on her doorstep that afternoon, the first time she had seen him in nearly a year, her body knew him. Her body wanted him, and her body was making her realize that she had never gotten over him.

Knowing he was waiting for her to say something, she leaned up on tiptoe, shifted her hands from his shoulders and wrapped her arms around his neck. "What I want is to relive our perfect lovemaking all over again."

She felt his erection, large, hard and throbbing, pressed against her. "You sure that's what you want?" He asked, leaning in closer and using the tip of his tongue to taste the sides of her mouth.

"Yes." She whispered, now almost too weak to stand.

"Then go ahead and lie on the bed while I run out to the rental car to get my things. My condoms are packed in there."

She eased even closer to him, cradling his hardness between her thighs. "They didn't work so well the last time." She decided to remind him.

He chuckled softly. "Yeah, I noticed."

"I'm on the pill now."

Inuyasha had been surprised to learn that she hadn't been before. But then on that night he'd also discovered she hadn't had sex in a long time. "I need to bring my stuff in anyway and now is a good time to do it. I might not have the strength for it later." He said, seconds before lowering his head to kiss her.

He felt his arousal thicken the moment he entered her mouth. He had intended for this to be a gentle kiss, but the moment his tongue took hold of hers, he began sucking hard, needing to do to her tongue what he couldn't do to her breasts. He heard her moan and the more she did, his body became filled with need. His kiss went deeper and became filled with zealous need. His kiss went deeper and became far more demanding. Every cell within his body began to tingle and he knew if he didn't take control of the situation, he would be fucking her right here and now.

Inuyasha slowly pulled his lips back from Kagome's, thinking he could keep right on kissing her, but was too eager to get inside her. "Lie on the bed. I'll be right back." And then he was gone.

He was only gone long enough to get his things out of the car and quickly headed back inside towards Kagome's bedroom, only to stop suddenly in the doorway. She had gotten in bed like he'd said, but was curled up in a fetal position, fully clothed and fast asleep. He inwardly pushed away the disappointment to replace it with compassion. More than anything, she deserved her rest. There would be other opportunities for them. He would see to it.

Dropping his things on the floor, he crossed the room and grabbed a blanket off the chair to cover her. She made a sound when she snuggled into the covers, but didn't wake up. He gazed down at her, seeing her sleeping peacefully. He then remembered another night she had slept peacefully as well…in his arms after he had her.

Deciding if he didn't leave her alone now, he would be tempted to remove his clothes and join her in bed. So instead, he left the room, taking his things with him and headed toward the guest room. She'd said the twins would probably sleep through the night and if they did, that was fine. If they didn't, that was fine too since he was there and he could take care of them.

A half hour later, Inuyasha had checked on the twins and Kagome for the third time, loaded the dishes in the dishwasher and folded the babies' clothes. He glanced around, wondering what was there to do next and then decided to give his friend, Miroku, a call. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and punched in his number.

"Hello?"

"Miroku, hey."

"Inuyasha, what's happening? You said you would call if you found her."

Inuyasha rubbed the back of his neck. Yes, that's what he'd said to him before he left New York. His good friend knew he was on a woman hunt. "I found her, but things are complicated."

"In what way?"

Inuyasha paused a moment and said. "Kagome was pregnant."

"Kagome?"

"Yes."

"That's her name?"

"Yea, it's Kagome Higurashi."

"Oh, okay, and has she delivered yet?"

"Yea."

Miroku waited as if he'd expected Inuyasha to say something else and when he didn't, he said. "Well don't keep me in suspense. Is the baby yours?"

A small smile touched Inuyasha's lips. A very proud one. "No, the baby isn't mine. But the babies are mine."

There was a slight pause and then Miroku said. "Babies?"

"Yea."

"More than one?"

"Yea more than one."

"Twins?"

"Yep."

"Wow, so she had twins?" Miroku said in an astonished voice.

"Yep, one boy and one girl."

"Well congratulations are certainly in order."

"Thanks." Inuyasha said with pride nearly bursting in his chest.

"How is everyone doing?"

"Mother and kids are doing fine, but…"

"But what?"

Inuyasha struggled to keep his emotions in check. They were emotions he wasn't used to having. "Kairi, my daughter, is the smaller of the two. She's such a tiny thing and I worry about her."

Miroku paused. "You sound like your entrance into fatherhood is going to be a challenging one. You're worrying already and she hasn't started first grade." He said.

"I know, but you'll see how things are one day when you get there."

Miroku chuckled. "In good time my friend. I'm in no rush at the moment. So when will you tell your family about your children?"

"I'm working on Kagome marrying me and so I don't need any interference until then."

"Okay, as far as keeping silent, you know you can trust me."

"Yea, I always have."

Moments later, as soon as Inuyasha ended the call, he heard the sound of the doorbell. He moved quickly toward the door, not wanting the sound to wake up Kagome or the twins. He snatched the door open to find three women standing there. They were as surprised to see him as he was to see them. But he figured out quickly who they were, Kagome's three best friends.

The one with the neck-length hair lifted a brow and asked. "Where's Kagome?"

"She's asleep."

"Asleep?" The one with the shoulder-length hair asked.

"Yes." Inuyasha leaned in the doorway. He could tell the three had gone from surprised to cautious to curious. "I take it you're her best friends?" He said, appreciating the fact that he had good memory.

"Yes, that's who we are." The one with the long hair said.

"But, uh, who are you?" The neck-length hair one asked.

"We haven't met, but you'll be seeing me a lot." He replied. "I'm Inuyasha, the father of Kagome's babies."

BlueMoon Goddess: And now the three friends are meeting Inuyasha for the first time. Next chapter will discuss more interactions with them, and believe me, these girls will have plenty of questions to ask him so get ready for that. Also, like I mentioned in my other story, I will be taking a little break from updating. Mainly because of my new job and school. But don't worry, I'll still be writing when I have the chance, it'll just be awhile before I update again. So, until next time guys! ^_^
