Pairing: Kagome/Naraku
Naraku smiled at his exhausted mate. She had been in labor for well over 7 hours, resulting in a beautiful pair of twins, one boy, and one girl.
He brushed a strand of hair off her flushed face as he held his son and daughter. His legacy.
"I'm so proud of you, Kagome." He murmured. "They're beautiful. What should we name them?"
She smiled tiredly. "I was thinking Takeshi and Suzume." She pointed to each of them in turn.
He gazed down at his son. "My little warrior." He leaned down to kiss his mate on the forehead, before doing the same to his daughter. "My little sparrow."
The door of the hospital room opened and a throng of people pushed through, the loudest amongst them being a silver-haired man and a man with blue eyes, his black hair pinned up into a ponytail.
"I told you! I get to hold 'em first, flea bag." The silver-haired one growled.
The blue-eyed one only retaliated by shoving the silver-haired one out of the room. "You won't get a chance if you keep shouting like that, mutt." The only reply was a snarl.
Kagome grinned at her family and friends. "Hey guys."
Sango rushed over, cooing at the small bundle in her arms. "Can I see her?" Kagome nodded, handing over her precious daughter.
Sango's husband, Miroku, took over for Naraku as he went to his mate's side. Sesshomaru approached them, swiftly and silently.
"My congratulations to you both." They nodded their heads in thanks as he turned to the two men bickering. "Inuyasha, Koga, if you do not cease this racket, I will have them throw you out of the hospital." It became quiet immediately. Sesshomaru had that effect on people.
Inuyasha sauntered over, his signature smirk set on his face, but his eyes softened when he looked at his best friend. "It seems like only yesterday we were pranking the teachers in middle school." She laughed and he reached over to peck her on the cheek. "Congratulations, chibi-chan." Everyone laughed when she pouted.
Koga slapped Naraku on the back. "I'd like to say I didn't think you had it in you, but Kagome would probably disagree with me." The room was once again filled with lighthearted chuckles as Kagome blushed.
After an hour of passing the twins around, Naraku ushered everyone out of the room, intent on some peace and quiet for his drained mate. She beamed at him, earning a small grin in return.
"Rest, Kagome. It's been an exhausting day. I'll wake you up in the morning." She didn't even get the chance to nod her head before she was out like a light. He laughed quietly to himself as he joined her under the covers before tucking them both in.
Wrapping an arm around her waist, he nuzzled her neck, joining her in sleep.
I love you, Kagome…more than you can ever imagine.
