A/N SORRY I TOOK SO LONG! WRITERS BLOCK!

CHAPTER 2

As the sun started peaking over the horizon Sesshomaru opened his eyes slowly, but his mind was all ready aware of his surroundings… he was home. Looking down to his naked chest he saw his beautiful mate curling into him as if seeking for warmth, under the multiple layers of blankets that Sesshomaru demanded be placed for her comfort, still wearing the sleeping gown he got her yesterday.

Sesshomaru gave a slow exhale as he checked with his senses around his home to be sure everything is all right and in order. The first place he made sure of was his sons' room, softly smiling at the soft snores Hiroshi was emitting. Next was the perimeter, as far as he could tell, all there was, was the birds in the sky and complete peace.

He looked down once again and noticed his mate was slowly approaching consciousness, this was his favorite part of the morning, watching as her eyes slowly opened with the sun in her hair and the love in her eyes.

Which she did as he thought she would, her eyes opened slowly, blinking the sleep out of them for a few lazy seconds, then she stretched and placed herself even closer to his body, minding the three month bulge (when does the slight bulge come out during pregnancy?) of their baby. When she was done with her morning start she looked at Sesshomaru with her happy, loving smile and kissed him on his lips.

Sesshomaru was content with the slight pecks they gave each other; it was something he always shall look forward to sleeping next to her.

"Good morning Sesshou." Kagome said with a smile as she sat up in front of him, sitting on her heels."

"Hmm…"

Her quiet, happy laughter was his award to his slight grunt, "Is that all you have to say to me on this fine morning?"

Sesshomaru emitted a low chuckle "I wish not to correct you koi, but I didn't say anything."

Her eyes danced with her happiness as she stood up and began to walk out of their room, only stopping at the doorway to look at him over her shoulder with a seductive smile on her lips, "Hmm…." And continued on her way out the door.

"PAPA! Can we go out and play papa, can we?"

The day wouldn't be complete if his son wasn't jumping everywhere in the middle of breakfast. The little boy youkai was leaning on his father's knee as he jumped up and down with his excited questioning. Kagome gave a slight smile as she sat across the table eating her breakfast. Life was almost too perfect for them… although it would be even better if Sesshomaru would stay home for more than two weeks after every month.

Sighing she paused as she brought her food to her mouth. It was a long road for them, what with Sesshomaru's family and all. Kagome looked up at her mate and caught him staring at her with the look that was only for her to see. And yet… she couldn't be happier than she was at the moment.

"Hiroshi… why don't we go outside for a picnic?"

Kagome smiled at her husband as he said this all the while looking at her.

Blue eyes widened even more at his fathers words, "Really Papa?"

Sesshomaru smiled at his son in the only way he knew how, "Of course."

Hiroshi began to jump up and down in excitement and ran to his room when his mother told him to get ready, leaving before he saw his father sit next to his mother and place her in his lap.

Sesshomaru began to nuzzle his mate's neck and continued to inhale her sweet scent. He couldn't imagine life with out this lovely angel that was given to him by the gods.

"Sesshou… Hiroshi might see…"

"Shh… he won't be out for another few minutes." When he noticed her hesitance he began to softly speak to her again, "Besides, the boy will understand seeing his father show his undying love for his mother."

Kagome giggled in her own sweet way before giving her husband a chaste kiss then getting up, much to the disproval of her husband, to prepare their meals for the impromptu picnic, "I do believe that Hiroshi would like something sweet."

"Much like I at the moment…"

Kagome gasped as she felt her husband hug her tightly from behind and then leaned down only to inhale more of her scent. She stilled her hands as he did this and placed them both on the hands on the sides of her waist, "We really shouldn't…"

"Love…"

She smiled and turned around in his arms and slowly reached her hands to wrap them around his neck, and had to stand on her tiptoes in order to connect her lips to his.

"Momma, Papa… can I bring my toy! Momma? Papa?"

Kagome jerked back from her husband as she heard her son enter. She then turned to the doorway where her son was standing now… her son. Kagome smiled as she remembered the day that he was born to them.

It was the middle of winter and Sesshomaru was still building their house while they merely stayed in a cave when Hiroshi was just born into the world, and into their lives. Kagome didn't know what she would do if she didn't have her son or her husband. But she did know that everything would be easier with out Sesshomaru's family…

"You may bring your toy, but you must first change and gather your things Hiroshi."

Sesshomaru's voice broke Kagome away from the daydream that she was having and when she looked her mate in the eye she saw that he was curious about something…

"What is it Sesshou?" she said after their son left the room.

Sesshomaru sat down at the table and pulled Kagome into his arms before nuzzling her neck with a contented growl, "I have missed you."

She closed her eyes against his chest and whispered, "Me too."

He was relishing this moment with his mate. After all that they went through for each other, they were able to make a content and beautiful life for both to enjoy. He silently wondered what life would have been like if she wasn't there, and that brought the true fear that he had buried deep down in side, the fear of losing her. Sesshomaru didn't know what he would do if she was gone. If she wasn't there.

"Never leave me…"

Kagome's eyes popped open, "What?"

Sesshomaru stared at her eyes intently, "Never leave me."

Her eyes softened as she leaned up and softly responded against his lips, "I promise."

A figure five miles away could be seen giving a malevolent smile before speaking to one of his ten troops, "Remember to keep the prince alive, the boy and mother are to be killed. If you can, the worst way possible."
