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.

"And you have to do this every night around this time?"

Kagome glanced over at Inuyasha and smiled. It was barely seven at night and she was busy at work breast-feeding the twins. As expected, Micah cried first through the monitor that he was ready to be fed. And as the night before, Inuyasha was sitting across the room with Kairi in his arms. He was proving to be an attentive father, she noted. He had heard the monitor go off before she had and was already heading to the room to check on the babies by the time she made it up the stairs.

She was still overwhelmed at the thought of their previous night together. They had made love until they hadn't had any energy left to do anything but sleep, and he had held her in his arms while doing so. More than once she had awoken cradled close to him, and then had gone back to sleep content and at peace. And at eight o'clock that morning, she had awaken to the smell of delicious food and made her way downstairs to see that he had cooked her eggs Florentine and breakfast potatoes.

After breakfast, he had suggested that they head out with the twins and get some fresh air. The entire day was spent at Bivens Arm Nature Park, where they took a walk and Kagome loved how Inuyasha was pointing out some of the birds and trees they passed with the twins taking in everything their father was saying. After about an hour at the park, he persuaded her to eat in a restaurant not too far. At first Kagome was hesitant about taking the kids, in case they got fussy, but fortunately, the twins were perfect little angels, and didn't make a peep. During lunch, Kagome and Inuyasha talked about everything under the sun from when she started modeling to some of their favorite hobbies when they're not working. It was a good day to say the least and she could get used to outings like this with the four of them.

Getting out of her thoughts, she replied to him. "They'll sleep until around ten."

"With a busy day like they had, they might sleep through the entire night." Inuyasha said, gently rocking Kairi in his arms.

Thirty minutes later, the babies were placed in their cribs and she turned off the light to leave the room with Inuyasha behind her.

"When can they begin eating solid foods?" He asked as they walked together down the hall to her bedroom. His arm was slung over her shoulder and he had pulled her close to his side.

"Not until they're at least six months old according to their doctors. But at the rate Micah is going, it might be sooner for him. I can't wait until their next doctor's visit to see how much weight he's gained." She paused a moment and then said. "But Kairi doesn't seem to be gaining weight as fast as her brother."

"Yeah, I noticed. Are you worried about it?"

"Yes."

"She'll gain weight. I'm sure by her next doctor's appointment she'll gain a few pounds by then."

"I hope so."

He took her wrist to pull her closer to him. "Come here. Let me relieve you of your worry for just a little while."

When they entered her bedroom, Inuyasha took her hand in his and when he sat down in the rocking chair, he pulled her down into his lap. "I enjoy holding my babies and now I want to hold the mother of my babies."

She rested her head on his chest, liking the feel of being in his arms, being held this way, and inhaling his mesmerizing male scent. She could get used to his attentiveness, his protection and how he catered to her every need. His tender attention had nothing to do with sex. He was merely giving her what he thought she needed…a peaceful moment in his arms.

"I want to change the twins' named from Higurashi to Takahashi as soon as it can be done."

Kagome lifted her head and glanced up at him. She knew it bothered him that his son and daughter didn't have his last name. At least she could grant him that one request. "All right. I'll contact my attorney later today."

She could tell by his expression that he was surprised and appreciative. "Thank you." He said, with a deep emotion in his voice.

"You haven't said anything about a paternity test." She said, placing her head on his chest once again.

He looked down at her. "I don't need one. I know that Micah and Kairi are mine." That statement made her feel good inside.

"Now what about yours?" He asked.

She arched a brow. "My what?"

"Name. I want to change your name as well."

Kagome sighed, seeing they were back to that again. "I don't need to change my name."

"I think that you do." Was his comeback. "I want to marry you."

'But not for the right reasons.' She thought. "I'm not ready to get married." She said, hoping she sounded convincing.

"Then I guess it's up to me to persuade you to think differently." He leaned down and captured her lips with his and then she decided she didn't want to think at all.

Kagome eased deeper between the covers when suddenly she was jarred from her sleep by the sound of the doorbell. When it rang again, she opened her eyes and remembered. She and Inuyasha had awoken when the babies had stirred for their five o'clock morning feeding. Just as he'd done the night before, Inuyasha had assisted by holding Kairi while she fed Micah. After making sure they were dry and comfortable, she and Inuyasha had returned to her room where they had made love several times before drifting off to sleep while he had held her in his arms. That was the reason why she was naked. Inuyasha had awakened a few moments ago, dressed and left to buy them breakfast from a deli not far away.

Wondering if he had returned, she slid out of bed and slipped into her short-terry cloth robe and made her way to the front of the house. The last thing she wanted was for the doorbell to wake the babies. She crossed the room to the door and pepped out. It was her mother, grandfather and brother. After her conversation with her family two days ago, why did they return when they knew she wanted to handle the twins alone? She then figured it out. One of her friends had probably told her family about Inuyasha.

Inhaling a breath of annoyance, she opened the door and plastered a smile on her face. "Mom, grandpa, Souta. What are you guys visiting so early?" She asked, pretending she didn't have a clue, as she took a step back when they walked in.

"Eri called us last night." Her mom said, taking a seat on the couch. "She told us everything that happened the day before. Now Kagome, you know I don't like to pry, but I'm worried."

"About what?" Kagome asked.

"We heard your baby's daddy showed up after the day we left." Souta said.

"Souta!"

"What? It's true mom."

Kagome lifted a brow. "And?"

"And it looks to me like the guy works fast." Souta said, eyeing his sister up and down. "I hate to tell you this sis, but you have hickeys all over you. Even on your legs, what's that all about hmmm?"

She thought the entire thing too comical to get mad. "Souta, if you have to ask, then…"

"This isn't funny Kagome." Her grandpa says, frowning. "This man shows up one day and already he's back in your bed. Do you deny it?"

Now that ticked her off. She stiffened her spine and said. "Not that it's any of your business, but no, I don't deny it."

"Um it should be our business since you never told us about the guy in the beginning." Souta said.

"Oh Souta, be quiet!" Kagome snapped.

"Kagome, we care about you and don't want to see you get hurt." Her mother said softly. She was worried about her daughter. When Kagome told her that she was pregnant, she never questioned who the father was. Her daughter was very vague about who had fathered her grandchildren, and she didn't push further to respect her daughter's wishes. But luckily Eri called and filled the family in on everything and she was still a bit worried, but relieved the father came to see his children.

"And I appreciate your concern. But if Eri filled you in, then all you need to know is that the only reason why Inuyasha is here is because he found out about Kairi and Micah."

"Okay then, if my niece and nephew are the only reason he's here, then why did you two get it on?" Souta asked, moving to take a seat on the sofa next to their mother.

Kagome couldn't help but smile. She loved her brother, but sometimes he could be a pain in the ass. Evidently, she needed to teach him a little lesson. If you ask, then you bet your ass you're going to receive. "It seems that Inuyasha and I can't keep our hands off each other." She said. "It's this thing, this spontaneous combustion that happens the moment we're within a few feet of each other. When we get like that, all we want to do is have a sex-a-thon. Anytime. And anywhere."

"Yeah…that was way too much info sis." Souta said with a grim look on his face.

"Hey, you asked, and you got your answer." Kagome said, smiling deviously.

"But sweetheart, I'm sure being in love with Inuyasha is important too." Her mother said.

Kagome nodded. "That's good to know mom, because I do love him."

Shocked expressions appeared on her families faces. "But the two of you have only been together twice during an eleven-month period. You sure you're not confusing lust with love?" Souta asked.

"Souta, I thought I told you to be quiet." Kagome said. 'Plus, no one has to remind me of anything.'

She and Inuyasha had a great sex life. It was a start, wasn't it? But deep down she knew her brother was right. Inuyasha wanted to marry her for all the wrong reasons. He wanted to give his babies his last name. He wanted to also give her his name as well, but only because she was the mother of said babies. Love had nothing to do with it. At least not for him. But for her, regardless of how many times they had been together and the reason for them, she truly knew she loved him. Maybe for her it had been love at first sight and she had only realized that fact when she had seen him again when he showed up two days ago. She refused to believe that two people needed to have a long, drawn out relationship before they could fall in love. She was living proof that they didn't. It wasn't the quantity of time but the quality of time, and she and Inuyasha had certainly spent good quality time together.

Besides that, there was something about Inuyasha that was totally different from any of the guys she had ever dated. Maybe it was his maturity, he was ten years older than her. Plus there was a goodness about him that she felt whenever she was around him that had nothing to do with lust. How many men would go searching for a woman to find out if she had their baby just because they had seen her pregnant on the cover of a magazine? He not only had come searching for her, but he had come willing and ready to do what he considered as the right thing by her and their children.

Kagome was about to open her mouth and say something when the front door opened. Inuyasha walked in and his gaze went from her to her families before he closed the door. The smile that lit his face almost took her breath away and made her love him much more. Without waiting for introductions, he placed the bag he was carrying on the table and he went directly over to her mother, grandfather and brother and offered his hand. "You must be Kagome's mother, grandfather and brother."

At their nods, his smile widened. "It's nice to meet you guys. I'm Inuyasha Takahashi."

Instead of going to the deli like Kagome thought he did, he had gone grocery shopping with the intention of surprising her with another home cooked breakfast. He ended up fixing a feast and inviting her family to join them.

It didn't take long to see how captivated her mother was with him. Her brother thought that he was coolest thing ever, especially since he was a half-demon. And her grandfather…well, he didn't warm up too well. But after about thirty minutes or so, her grandpa seemed to warm up slightly to him, and only because Inuyasha was able to tell him about some interesting things he knew about certain events his grandfather had experienced.

Then they started asking him questions and they started off by asking him about what he did for a living. They were surprised to hear that he was the CEO of one of the most popular companies in the entire world. And it didn't take long to see that he cared for his children and would be a wonderful father to them.

Moments later, Kagome excused herself when she heard the sound of soft noises on the baby monitor. "Excuse me guys, Micah is awake." She said, pushing her chair back from the table, standing and making her way to the nursery. Inuyasha smiled at her, and she could feel his gaze following her until she was no longer within his sight.

She sensed something was wrong the moment she walked into the room. Micah was crying as usual, but when she glanced over at Kairi, Kagome went on alert and quickly lifted her into her arms. Barely able to let out a scream that was lodged in her throat, Kagome raced from the room with her daughter in her arms. She then began screaming for Inuyasha. He and her family intercepted her at the end of the hall.

"Kagome, what's wrong?" Inuyasha asked, panic covering his face.

"It's Kairi!" she said in a frantic voice, not even trying to remain calm. "Call 911, she's having trouble breathing."
