BlueMoon Goddess: Sorry for the wait on this chapter guys, it's been very busy for me lately. But I'm here with the chapter so it shouldn't matter anymore! So enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha, its characters, or 'Quade's Babies' by Brenda Jackson which this story is based on.

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.

"So Inuyasha, where have you been for the past nine months?"

Inuyasha saw anger flicker in the eyes of the shoulder-length haired one, who introduced herself as Eri.

The three women came inside and stood in the living room, all in a single file, with arms folded across their chests staring at him. Evidently waiting for his response to Eri's question. The room was filled with thick tension and the stubborn part of him felt he didn't owe these three women any explanation, especially if Kagome hadn't given them one. But then another part, the one that understood the role of a protector, could accept how they felt and didn't mind stating his case. Who knew? They might eventually become allies instead of enemies and help in his cause.

Mimicking their stance, Inuyasha placed his arms over his chest as well, sending out a strong message that he wasn't easily intimidated. "Trust me, I would've come sooner had I known."

Yuka lifted a brow and dropped her hands to her sides in surprise for the second time that night. "You didn't know?"

"Didn't have a clue." Inuyasha decided not to go into any details.

"And when did you find out?" The one Inuyasha knew to be Ayumi asked.

"A few days ago, I say her. Pregnant on the cover of a magazine."

The three women nodded as if they were familiar with that particular magazine. "And after finding out, you came directly here?" Eri asked.

"Yes." He then felt it was his turn to ask a question. "At any time did Kagome mention who had fathered her babies to you?"

Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi shook their heads. But it was Ayumi that spoke. "No. The only thing she told us was your first name. Anything else we tried to ask her about you, she wouldn't say. We figured she must've found out that you were married or had a girlfriend."

"Are you married?" Yuka asked, frowning.

Inuyasha shook his head. "Not yet. But I hope to marry soon."

Eri lifted a brow. "Kagome?"

"Yep." Inuyasha said, dropping his hands to his sides, loosening up somewhat.

It was Ayumi who chuckled. "Good luck. Kagome's very stubborn when she wants to be. She likes her freedom and detests anyone telling her what to do."

Inuyasha rubbed a hand back and forth across his chin in frustration. "I gathered as much."

"But you did ask her?" Yuka wanted to know.

"Yes, several times, but she turned me down each time."

"But you won't give up." Ayumi said. It was more of a statement than a question.

"No, I won't give up." He stated, determined. "I take responsibility for my actions, no matter what they are. Had I known about Kagome's pregnancy, we wouldn't be standing here having this conversation now, trust me."

For some reason, he felt they did trust him, or at the very least they were beginning to. "So, do you have any ideas that might help change her mind?" He asked.

It was Ayumi who again, chuckled and then said. "Prayer might work."

Kagome shifted positions in bed and seconds later her eyes flew open. She glanced at the digital clock on the nightstand and when she saw it was almost ten at night, she kicked the covers off her and quickly swung her legs off the bed, wondering how she could've dozed off.

The moment she stood, she remembered. Inuyasha…the kiss…him leaving to go outside for his gear and condoms. She inhaled deeply thinking he never got the chance to put the condoms to any use. She had passed out on him. She hadn't known how tired she was until she had lain on the bed. Wondering just where Inuyasha was and knowing that she needed to check on her babies, she straightened her clothes and raked several fingers through her disheveled hair in an attempt to make herself presentable. Leaving her bedroom, she began walking down the hall toward the nursery. As she walked, she swore she could hear voices speaking in hushed tones.

Raising a confused brow, she turned and continued walking and when she entered the living room, she came up short. Inuyasha and her three best friends were sitting at her dining room table, and of all the things, they were playing cards. Uno to be exact. What the heck?! When did her friends arrive? Inuyasha had to have been the one to let them in. Did they know who he was? And just what had he told them about their relationship?

She passed through her living room and stood at the entrance to her dining room, not yet noticed by them. When a few seconds passed and they still hadn't noticed her, she cleared her throat. "Just what is going on here?"

Four pairs of eyes turned toward her, and unsurprisingly it was Eri who spoke first. "This guy claims he's your babies' daddy. So we figured before he could be allowed approval, he had to prove his worth by playing our favorite card game."

Kagome frowned. It was on the tip of her tongue to say that there was no way Inuyasha would be gained approval by playing Uno with her friends. However she did need to ask. "And how is that going so far?"

"He has our approval." The three women said smiling.

What?

"Any guy who is able to beat us in Uno, certainly is a keeper." Eri replied.

"Plus he really is a looker. No wonder Micah is such a cutie. We see where he gets it from." Yuka said, giving a wink at Kagome. Of course. Yuka, who was always boy crazy since high school, would give her approval for Inuyasha based on his looks.

"Inuyasha is a real sweetheart Kagome. And he is sincere about being in your life and the twins." Ayumi said. "I say give him a chance to prove it."

"I totally agree Ayumi." Inuyasha said smiling. He then turned to Kagome. "Want to join in? We were just starting a new game."

Kagome gave a shrug. "Sure, why not."

"I really like your friends Kagome." Inuyasha said, as he and Kagome stood together at the door after seeing the three women out.

Closing the door, she glanced over at him "And it was obvious that they liked you as well. Which has me curious as to what you told them."

"About what?"

"About us."

He smiled. So she was thinking of the two of them in terms of an us. "I didn't tell any of our secrets, especially the details of how we met on the beach that night. I figured that part really wasn't their business. Besides, they were mainly interested in knowing where I'd been the last nine months."

Kagome headed toward the kitchen area. "Although my family asked, I never gave them your name."

"You didn't know my name. At least not all of it."

She glanced around the kitchen, seeing how clean it looked, appreciating his thoughtfulness in taking care of things while she slept. "I could've asked the hotel to check their records for the information."

"They wouldn't have told you anything."

She looked over at him. "Why not?"

"Because hotel staff aren't allowed to give out classified information to other people. It's against the law." He then asked. "Does the kitchen meet with your approval?"

She smiled over at him. "Yes, thanks. You really didn't have to do it. And I see you even folded the baby clothes."

"You don't have to thank me. I didn't mind doing it. And I checked on the twins periodically and they seemed to be doing okay."

"Usually they sleep through the night. Every once in a while Micah might take a notion to cause problems, but otherwise, it's smooth sailing for the rest of the evening."

"And what time do they wake up?" He asked, putting trash from the table into the garbage.

"Too early. Try around five in the morning."

"Early riser, just like his dad." He said in amusement before he turned to her refrigerator.

"I've gotten used to it." She said, and for the first time noticed Inuyasha seemed to dominate the entire room. His back was to her as he put a couple of sodas away, and she realized he looked just as sexy from the back as he did from the front. Her heart jolted when she remembered earlier in her bedroom how the front of that body had pressed against hers.

"Are you hungry? You haven't eaten anything since I got here." He tossed over his shoulder.

Glad for her thoughts to be interrupted she replied. "No, I usually don't eat a lot. Actually, I eat more now because of the twins. I have to do whatever it takes to keep my milk supply up."

He turned and his gaze automatically went to her chest and was ridiculously pleased when the nipples of her breasts seemed to press tight against her blouse, under the onslaught on his intense stare. Childbirth seemed to have made them fuller and undeniably tempting. A swarm of sensations seemed to engulf him and he knew the cause. That night in Egypt, her breasts, like all the rest of her, had been for his pleasure and he in turn had made sure she had gotten hers. And she had, plenty of times over.

'Don't even try it.' He thought to himself. 'What you're thinking about doing is worse than taking candy from a baby.' His gaze shifted from her chest to her face and he saw in her eyes the same need that he felt. He knew this was crazy, but the attraction between them was back. And it was making his body throb.

He hadn't slept with another woman since the night he had shared with her. He hadn't wanted another woman, and now he knew why. He also knew things would always be this way with them, instant attraction, quick response, unhurried fulfilment. He just walked back into her life today, shown up on her doorstep just this evening. But they didn't have to go through any long, drawn out preliminaries. Neither did they have to take time to get reacquainted, at least not this way. This was one area where they knew each other inside out. He knew exactly what he had to do to make her moan, calling out his name in a raspy tone while begging for more.

And he had become privy to all that information in one night. Their time together in Egypt would always hold special memories for him and he hoped the same held true for her. And in the end they had produced two beautiful beings who would be a constant reminder of that night.

"I thought you were taking something out of the refrigerator to eat." He heard her say.

Inuyasha felt his mouth stretch into a smile as he crossed the room, closing the distance separating them. "It just occurred to me that I have a taste for something altogether different, and what isn't in the refrigerator." He said smoothly.

"Where is it then?"

He heard her nervous hitch in her voice and was able, without very much effort, to inhale her heated scent. His gaze raked over her and he took in everything about her. There was her beautiful pale skin, which was smooth and absolutely flawless. She had ebony hair that reached her mid-back and beautiful pools of brown eyes that any man, human or demon, would fall prey to them. Then there was her body, as perfect as it had been before. It was still curvy, not an inch of fat on her. But now there was a lushness, a ripeness, to her perfect curves that were the result of motherhood.

He came to a stop in front of her and reached out and took her body to his. She may have seen how aroused he was when he crossed the room, but now he wanted her to feel just how aroused he was.

Inuyasha pressed his body even closer to her, exhilarated in the contact. He leaned forward and whispered deep in her ear while taking his free hand and lowering it to the apex of her thighs and touching her through the material of her clothes. "Here. What I want to taste is right here."

Kagome knew this was insane, heated lust of the worst kind. But as she felt his hard erection pressed against her, all she could think about was him sliding it inside of her body. And she was hot. It seemed she had buttons only he knew how to push. She hadn't slept with another man since that night she had spent with him, and tonight, now, this very moment, her body was letting her know it. It was craving a time it had been fulfilled to an infinite degree.

"Do you remember how things were between us the last time?" She heard him ask. His voice was hot and husky against her ear, while his jean-clad thigh brushed against hers over and over again.

"Yes, I remember." She said, barely getting the words out. Sharp, sensuous tingles flowing through her made her want an intense sexual encounter with him even more.

"And do you recall how I had developed a taste for a certain part of you?"

Oh she remembered. There was no way she could ever forget. The memory had returned to her numerous times. He had been intense in his hunger, extremely greedy, almost devouring her whole.

"And I recall…" He said, taking the tip of his tongue and caressing the underside of her ear, sending more sensuous shivers through her body. "You enjoyed it immensely. I would even go so far as to say you loved what I was doing to you."

Yes she had. Under the onslaught of his mouth, his very skillful tongue, she had come apart, numerous times. Each had resulted in an orgasm that had shook her to her core, splintered her in a million pieces, only for him to put her back together again to start all over.

"Yes…I loved what you did to me." There was no way she could lie and deny such a thing as not being true. She felt no shame in admitting what was fact. Especially now when she felt weak just thinking about it.

"I'm glad. And how would you like to experience that moment all over again? With my mouth worshiping you that way? Do you want it?"

She met his gaze. Felt the heat of his desire as his eyes burned into hers. What they had felt before was a crazy attraction that could only end one way…the way that it had. Now what she felt was intense sexual longing, propelled by an almost unbearable need.

So she said the only words that she could. "Yes. I want it."

Inuyasha wanted it as well, with a vengeance. With every part of her being, and tonight, just like the other time, he would give them both extreme pleasure. A part of him didn't want to rush anything. He had wanted to wait and not make love to her until she agreed to be his wife, until the time when she saw that he, she and their babies needed to be a family. And although their marriage wouldn't be based on love per se, it would be based on mutual respect, admiration and desire. But then another part, the part that was oozing with a degree of desire he could only reach with her, didn't want to wait. This part wanted a report of that night in Egypt. Being around her had unleashed a host of memories he couldn't ignore. The fiery heat of them had burned a place into the core of his very existence.

He drew her closer to him, leaned his mouth within inches of hers and said. "Do you know how many days and nights I carried the memory of what we shared with me no matter where I went?"

"No." She said, breathing her answer across his lips.

"Too many." He replied in a low and deep voice, while his gaze still held hers. He reached down and took her hand in his. "And whenever I thought about how you would touch me with these hands, stroke me with the most erotic care, I could barely stand it."

Kagome recalled how his body had been so responsive to her touch. Her stomach trembled at the thought that she could do that to him, make him ache with a need for her that was as intense as the one she had for him.

She felt her senses begin to overload, her desire for him kicked up another notch at the same time she felt him lift her off the floor to sit her on top of the countertop.

"Have you ever done it in a kitchen before?" He asked, while leaning down to remove her shoes.

"No."

He then straightened up and lifted a disbelieving brow. "Never?"

She lifted a disbelieving brow of her own, wondering if making love in a kitchen was some kind of fetish for him. "Why would you think I have?"

Inuyasha smiled. "Because I can imagine you stretched out on a table as a very succulent treat."

He reached out and tugged her top over her head, exposing a very sexy black-laced nursing bra, which he quickly disposed of. Breasts that appeared fuller sprang forth before his eyes. He couldn't wait any longer and gently cupped them in his hands and began lowering his head toward one firm nipple. When she offered no protest, he asked, whispering against the moist tip. "You have enough to share?"

Kagome knew she had to respond before she lost the power to think. "Yes, I have enough to share."

And then it was there, his mouth on her breasts, gently at first, using his tongue to caress her breasts and making her feel the way her nipples hardened in his mouth. Each stroke of his tongue aroused her, sent passion points escalating through her. His expertise astounded her in sensual satisfaction that she knew was within her reach.

"Inuyasha."

The erotic pressure of his mouth on her breasts was devastating to her senses, making her tremble. She cried out when an orgasm struck. It would've knocked her off her feet had she not been sitting on the countertop. Kagome felt her inner muscles tighten, then loosen up. And she felt her control slipping as a shock wave of pleasure rushed through her.

"Shhh, you'll wake up the babies." He whispered, after pulling his mouth away from her breasts. "There's a lot that can be said about getting breast-fed." He said, licking his lips and lifting her to her feet. "Now to remove your pants. You should be more than ready for me about now."

Her breath shuddered as she fought to remain standing when he crouched down in front of her, and after placing a wet kiss on her stomach, he proceeded to pull her pants down, slowly easing them down her legs, leaving her clad in a pair of sexy panties.

"Cute." He said of the heart prints on them.

She grinned. "Glad you like them."

"I like what they're hiding even more." He said, before easing the pair down.

Then she was there, bare, exposed and he leaned back on his haunches to take it all in. And she knew, just like he had predicted, she was wet, hot and ready. His tongue suddenly felt swollen in his mouth, actually thickening in anticipation of the treat he knew he was about to have. He couldn't wait to taste the pulsing heat of her again. He wanted to kiss and cherish her secret place the only way he knew how. He stood back on his feet and then lifted her to place her back on the counter, easing her body close to the edge, lifting her hips with the palm of his hands.

He then took her legs and placed them over his shoulders and instinctively, she widened her legs just moments before he lowered his head and brought her womanly core to him, slipping his tongue into the warm heat of her. He moaned out in pleasure the same time she did, holding firm to her thighs and hips, lifting her up to lock his mouth on her. And then it was a pleasure that raced through him with every stroke of his tongue inside of her. Inuyasha held on tight to her as she cried out her pleasure at the same time she squirmed under his mouth, trying to get away one minute while trying to get closer the next. He felt her grab hold to those same shoulders her legs were wrapped around and he was too far gone to care if he was getting bruised or squeezed to death. If he was going to die, this way certainly had its merits.

And then he felt her body contract beneath his mouth as another orgasm hit her, making her bite back her scream. He took her in a deep, hungry kiss while grabbing hold of her hips, making sure she stayed in place, right where he wanted her. He felt something he could only feel with her, a myriad of emotions and sensations that pulsed through him just from her taste, overwhelmed by the potency of her and what this was doing to him. He fought back the notion that the emotions he was feeling were anything other than unrequited lust and appreciation for the mother of his children.

Moments later, licking his lips, he released her. Scooping her up into his arms he carried her over to the cleared breakfast table and placed her flat on it. At her surprised look, he said. "I was serious about doing it in the kitchen with you." Taking a step back, he unsnapped his jeans and eased down his zipper. He quickly dispensed with his jeans and boxers.

"You look bigger than before."

He grinned and looked down at her. Kagome was an eyeful, lying flat on her back with her legs apart. The thought of easing between her thighs, pressing into her almost had him blowing a sexual fuse. He knew she was watching when he sheathed himself with a condom before coming back to her. He glanced around the room, her stainless-steel appliances, her shiny title floor and her granite countertops. What was there about being in a kitchen that made him want to stir up heat, and to make his own brand of sensuous delight?

Naked, he walked back over to her, leaned and took her mouth with the voraciousness that he felt. At the same time his hand automatically went to her center, and tested her. She had gotten wet all over again. Suddenly every muscle in his body tensed with a need so profound he pulled his mouth from hers to release a guttural groan. As he continued to stroke her, feel her heat, he wondered for the umpteenth time what there was about her that pushed him to devour her in such a primal way.

The table was just the right height and width and looked sturdy enough to withstand what he intended to do. It wasn't a workout table by a long shot, but there would be a lot of action on it today. Inuyasha looked at her and saw the heated glaze in her eyes. He stood between her legs and noted she had spread them even wider. He pressed his hips forward, guiding his hardness into her moist heat. The moment contact was made, he threw his head back and the veins in his neck seemed to almost pop from pleasure. He sucked in a deep breath and pushed farther, going all the way inside of her almost to the area that had carried his children for nearly nine months.

When he was lodged inside of her deep to the hilt, he leaned down and captured her lips, needing to kiss her. The way a man would kiss a woman he cherished. She felt good, perfect, a beautiful memory transformed into reality once again. The kiss worked them both into a feverish pitch and he began moving inside her, holding her thighs to receive his entry and his withdrawal, over and over again. He breathed in her scent. He heard the sound of his name whispered from her lips and felt her body adjust to his as if it was made just for him.

Inuyasha began moaning deep in his throat when he changed the rhythm, thrusting deeper, going faster. Kagome clung to his mouth, he to hers, their tongues mated with an intensity that he felt all the way to the bones. When he eased his mouth away from hers, she said in a frantic tone. "No, don't go. Don't stop."

He had no plans to either. And to prove that point he bent his head and reclaimed her mouth, kissing her with a hunger that was more voracious than before. The lower part of him continued driving into her, surging deep. Kagome matched his rhythm, lifting her body off the table on each and every downward thrust. Her inner muscles clamped him hard and he felt his engorged member actually break through the latex. Instead of pulling out, Inuyasha released a deep shuddering groan just seconds before spilling himself inside her, spinning her into an orgasm right along with him.

"Inuyasha!"

He came again, and so did she. It was crazy. It was passion at its deepest. Satisfaction at its greatest. With an urgency that shook him to the core he filled her womb once again, not sure if her birth control pill would be able to withstand the potency of such a release. He pulled his mouth away and leaned up slightly. Their gazes locked. He sent her a silent message that if he had impregnated her again, they would deal with it. His way. Seeing the frown on her face, he leaned down and kissed her, building sexual tension all over again. Moments later he lifted his mouth from hers only to trace kisses down her neck to her chest. She arched her back and groaned out his name and he knew, this was just the beginning. They had the entire night and he planned on using every second of it.

Kagome wasn't sure if she would ever be able to move again. So she lay still, with her eyes closed while releasing deep breaths of fulfillment and gratification. Inuyasha had removed himself from inside her moments ago and she knew he had walked away, probably to get rid of the condom, although it hadn't served much purpose. Her mind shifted to dwell on that, when she suddenly felt something warm and wet between her legs. She opened her eyes to find Inuyasha standing there, wiping her with a warm cloth. Instinctively, she closed her legs.

"No, don't close yourself from me. Let me do this Kagome. I want to do this. Open up again for me."

The kind gentleness of his tone made her do just what he asked and he continued to wash her with the tenderest of care. "You don't have to do this Inuyasha." He had done the same thing before during their first time together in Egypt.

He glanced up and met her gaze. "I know, but I want to."

So she lay there, willing, complacent, at ease in placing herself in his hands. And they were magnificent hands, tender hands, gifted hands. And when she thought about all those hands had done, how they had made her feel, she knew they were skillful hands.

"Feel better?"

Actually she did. Given the intensity of their love-making, she knew she would feel some soreness, but it had been worth it. "Yes."

Inuyasha nodded. "I'll be back in a minute."

She figured he was going into the bathroom to wash himself and she wished she had the strength to do that for him. Return the kindness. But she doubted she had the strength to move. So she lay there and closed her eyes again.

Moments later, she felt herself being lifted from the table and cradled into strong arms. "We're going to bed now." She heard his deep, masculine voice whisper close to her ear. "And I'll let you sleep for a while."

She knew he was letting her know they would be making love again and she had no problem with it. When they reached the bedroom, he placed her in the middle of the bed and she glanced up at him. He had put his jeans back on, but had not snapped them back up. Nothing about him had changed. With clothes on he looked sexy. Stripped naked he looked sexier. He was awesome and she knew as strange as it would seem to some people, she had fallen in love with him.

If the truth was known, she had probably fallen in love with him on sight that first night, but had put the thought out of her mind as ludicrous. Especially when she'd believed she would never see him again. But the moment the doctor had told her she was pregnant, some kind of torch had lit inside her, and she'd known she wanted a baby. His baby, which would always be a way to connect with him. A baby where their combined blood would flow through his or her veins. She hadn't counted on twins, but when she'd given birth to their babies, she had felt connected to Inuyasha twofold. The only thing that kept her from accepting his proposal of marriage was the fact that she knew he didn't love her. He had an obligation, a sense of responsibility, but he didn't love her. She couldn't have that kind of marriage with a man, especially this man.

"Is there anything I can get you?" Inuyasha asked in a soft voice, standing next to the bed.

"Um, yes, there is this one thing."

She scooted closer to the edge and stared at his erection that was pressing hard against his jeans before reaching out to slide her hand down his stomach, liking the feel of his hair there, past his navel to insert her hand inside his jeans to grab hold of his throbbing member. He hadn't put on his boxers. She smiled when she heard his sharp intake of breath while she used her other hand to pull his jeans past down his knees.

"Careful." Inuyasha eased the word from between tight lips when Kagome's fingers curled around him. He doubted that she heard what he'd said since she looked so preoccupied at the moment. Her main focus was him and she seemed content to stroke him in a way that was driving him mad with desire.

"You like torturing me, don't you?" He asked when she continued her stroking, hoping and praying that she didn't stop. She certainly had a way with her fingers.

He heard her soft sigh and then she said. "No more than you like torturing me. I love touching you this way, and thinking this, in all its engorged glory, is responsible for my babies." She glanced up at him. "Our babies."

Inuyasha didn't want to bring up the fact that pill or no pill, with a burst condom she could very well be pregnant again. The thought didn't bother him though. His attention snapped back to her when he felt something hot and wet touch him. Her mouth. He sucked in deeply as need flared in his belly. He grabbed hold of her head and tried pushing her away, but she was holding on to him, her mouth locked around him. What she was doing to him made him weak in the knees.

"Kagome, why did you have to go there?" Instead of answering him, she gripped him tighter. And he threw his head back when she began devouring him, covering all of him, caressing every inch of him with her tongue. And then when he though he couldn't stand it a minute longer, she opened her mouth and pulled him in deeper.

"Oh yes!" There was nothing else for him to say and when she dug her fingers into his thighs to hold her mouth in place on him, he nearly hollered. Not from pain, but from pleasure so intense he could feel a tingling sensation all the way to his toes. And when he felt his groin about to explode, he grabbed hold of her shoulders and tried pushing her back. When he saw that she was refusing to move, Inuyasha sucked in a deep breath as a ripple of sensations crashed through his nerve endings causing him to flex his hips. And Kagome still wouldn't let go, holding on to him with the strength of a woman who knew what she wanted.

Moments later she jerked her mouth free to pull air into her lungs. He used that time to remove his jeans the rest of the way before joining her on the bed and pushing her on her back and entering her in one smooth thrust. And then he was riding her, stretching her, returning the same sensuous torture she'd just given. He wanted to make love to her forever, wished he could, and knew he would carry the memory of glancing down and watching her mouth at work on him for the rest of his days. And when Inuyasha felt Kagome coming, he pulled in a deep breath as waves of pleasure splintered down his spine. He knew at that very moment that she was the only woman he would ever want.

BlueMoon Goddess: Well how did you guys like that? Was it worth the wait? Well you know that Kagome has admitted to being in love with Inuyasha, and he too admitted he loved her, in his own way. But next chapter will be great, and maybe we'll even get a surprise from another group coming to pay them a visit. Until next time guys! ^_^
