Chapter 3

Ok everyone. Sorry for the late update but it was getting edited. Also please read the Author's note at the end of the chapter. Please read and review.

I continued to read my book for two hours, before I marked my place and set it back on my night stand. Slowly, I got up and walked over to check on the twins. I smiled as I looked down at them, both of them were sleeping soundly.

I left the room, to go find Sesshomaru. He normally would be in his study around this time of day. I decided to check there first. I opened the heavy and thick, mahogany doors, and just as I suspected, he was sitting behind a huge wooden desk completing paper work. As I shut the door he looked up and smiled at me. I quietly walked towards him and moved the papers to the side so I could sit down on his desk in front of him.

I looked down at the stacks of papers and then back at him. "Sesshomaru, why are you doing paper work?" He set his pen down and looked up at me.

"It's not paper work, love. I am writing invitations for the twin's indoctrination into the royal family." I nodded "Oh, Cool. When will that be?" He handed me a small piece of paper.

"In about a month or so, love." He replied smoothly. I looked over the paper and nodded. "Good, that will give us some time to take them to see my family." Sesshomaru smiled. "Alright." Setting the paper aside, I looked up to meet Sesshomaru's golden eyes and almost lost myself in their depth. "Do you know where Rin and Shippo are?" He looked out the window and back to me. "I believe they are out in the garden with everyone else." I looked out the window, and sighed, "Alright, I will see you later then." Sesshomaru chuckled. "Okay, love."

I reached out and ran my fingers through his silver hair. Then, I bent down to make my lips meet his. He pulled me down off the table and settled me onto his lap. Deepened the kiss, wrapped his arms around my shoulders. When his lips pulled away, he smiled up at me. "Hopefully it won't be too much later." I giggled and quickly kissed him one last time before getting off his lap. "I could never stay away for very long." I then turned and walked out of his office, treating him to one last smile before shutting the doors.

I walked slowly, down the main hall, and let myself relax. I shortly came to a pair of double doors that led into the garden.

Sesshomaru had guessed correctly, everyone was in the garden. Sango was the first to smile at me as I walked over towards them. "How are you feeling Kagome?" She asked me. I smiled at her and replied, "I am doing well, Sango." She smiled back "That's good. How are the twins doing?" I subconsciously looked up at the bedroom window before quickly saying, "They're asleep."

I was standing next to her, and decided to place my hand on her growing stomach. An almost instantaneous kick from my future niece or nephew made a quiet laugh bubble out of my mouth. Sango cradled her belly as Miroku said, "Sango, I believe you should sit down and rest for a while." Sango nodded, and sleepily said, "Okay Miroku."

We all walked over to the big benches at the side of the garden. Sango, Ayame, and I filled one bench and Kouga and Miroku sat down on the other one. I turned to Ayame "Ayame, are you and Kouga planning to have any children?" Ayame blushed and looked over at Kouga before looking back at me. "Well Kagome, we just discovered that I have been pregnant for a month and a half now." My excited smile copied itself on to her face. "That's so awesome Ayame." I reached over and hugged her tightly, then Sango offered Ayame her congratulations. I know Sango wanted to hug her as well, but she was unable to. All of us sat in the garden for a long time, while we talked about the up-coming future as Rin and Shippo played among the flowers.

Stranger's POV:

*In the Sky*

I watched quietly from above as the miko, named Kagome, happily conversed with her friends. She had just given birth to twins, and was already engaging in her normal life again. 'Impressive' I thought to myself, then I smiled. I already had plans for the two infants. When the time comes, and the twins have reached an appropriate age, I would be back.

Those children will be mine soon enough. Seeing that they were asleep, I had all the information I needed for the time being, I kicked the sides of my "horse" and took off towards my palace.

Kagome's POV

For a moment I thought I sensed a demonic aura, but it disappeared just as quickly as it formed. Blaming paranoia, I shook my head and thought that it was almost time for supper. I called for Rin and Shippo, and they abruptly stopped what they were doing and ran over to the rest of the group. Together, we all walked inside the castle and met Sesshomaru in the main hall.

The entire group followed me to the dining hall where we took our seats. The moment everyone was comfortably seated, servants came out of the kitchen with dinner. Each of the servants fluidly carried the trays to the table, and placed them in front of us, then bowed before exiting the dining hall. The food looked absolutely delicious as we all began to eat. After we finished eating, I had my servant bring out two bottles for the twins. I thanked them and took the bottles up to our bedroom.

When I got there, I saw that the twins were already awake and hungry. Setting both bottles down on the night stand, I walked over to the bassinet.

Sesshomaru walked in right soon afterwards. He picked up Maru and we walked both sat down on the bed, cradling the babes in our arms. I handed him one of the bottles, and used the other to feed Jasmine. I looked up to him and began to speak, "Sesshomaru?" He turned to look at my face. "Yes, my love?" I continued to rock Jasmine as I spoke. "I was wondering if it would be alright to travel back to my time….. next week." Sesshomaru nodded "Yes, that would be fine, love." I smiled and looked down at Jasmine before I said, "You don't think it's too soon for them to be traveling, do you?" Sesshomaru shook his head. "No, since they are full demons they have a stronger immune system than humans do." I sighed in relief, realizing I could take them safely with me. "Yay"

Once the twins had finished their bottles, we burped them and changed their diapers, placing them back into their bassinets, placed blankets carefully over their tiny bodies.

Sesshomaru took my hand and led me out to the balcony. He sat down on the love seat and gently pulled me onto his lap. We started talking about our day. I told him about how Ayame found out she was expecting. As we sat outside on the balcony, we watched the glow of the sun fade over the western hills and the moon and stars rise, blanketing the darkness with sparkling diamonds.

It seemed as if we sat there for hours when we finally stood up and walked back into our room. I walked over to my dresser and got out our nightclothes to change into. Once we were both dressed we went over to our bed and curled up next to each other. Sesshomaru pulled the blankets over both of us and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. Soon, we both drifted off into a deep sleep.
