Puppy Love Side 14 Note:

Sadi Tashio was a smart hanyou. Period. Hands down.

Being the daughter of Sesshomaru and Lori Tashio had helped her. The hanyou had taken after her father in appearances. Her silver hair went down to her back in curls thanks to her mother. On top of her hair were two little blonde ears. Her eyes were a dark shade of amber. Her magenta single strips on her cheeks signified whose daughter she was. The height she had been given was her mother's, not even able to stand taller the blonde.

Currently she stood in front of her elder brother Chris who had come home for the weekend from his own family. The sixteen year old felt so young by the 33 year old but oh well. He was family. Her brother had gone with their mother's appearance more. His blonde spiked hair almost hid his silver dog ears. In the custom of the Tashio family, Chris also had magenta strips on his cheeks. His eyes though were light green. His stature though was built like their father's, lean and powerful.

He hoisted the sword he owned onto his shoulder.

Sadi did the same with her wooden sword, hating how light it was.

Their father nodded to both of his children as he came upon their finished practice. Age hadn't been cruel to their father. From older pictures around the house it seemed he had only aged a few years than a decade.

Their mother stood beside him, her eyes dancing with happiness at her children. Being a demon's mate, Lori herself had only aged a bit as well. Her body and hair were still in a young prime. Only a few lines under her eyes showed her age. Her eyes had a hint of wisdom in them.

Sesshomaru held onto his mate's hand as he talked "Sadi you did well. Why don't you come with me on my next trip?"

Sadi's eyes lit up "Really dad?"

Lori giggled "Your father is serious so of course."

She turned to her son and embraced him "Be sure to bring Allie next time okay? I miss her almost as much as I miss you."

Chris hugged his mother, missing her already "Of course."

Sesshomaru patted his son's shoulder "See you next week son."

Chris gave his old man a nod "Of course."

Sadi watched as her brother left then turned to her mother "Mom? Is supper ready?"

Lori smiled "In a bit sweetie. Viola is helping with the finishing touches. Why don't you go and wash up?"

The silver girl nodded "Yes mom."

Sesshomaru watched his daughter go into the castle, letting a proud smile grace his lips as she shook off most of the dirt at the entrance. Lori took his hand again and pulled him toward the gardens. The human was leading the demon as she started to run, one hand picking up her skirts as she towed her husband along.

The sun was just setting as they got to edge of the garden.

Lori smiled playfully "Race you."

Sesshomaru smirked as he transformed into his huge demon form. The blonde laughed as she went into the maze she knew so well, the demon dog behind her; then in an instant, over and in front of her. In this form he was able to clear the entire garden in one giant leap.

Sadi watched them from her room, a Tashio smirk playing on her lips. She stood there entranced by her parents. Still so in love after all these years. She remembered faintly of the memories of her past. Playing with her mother until Chris and her father would return. She always got jealous that mother was the first to receive hugs and kisses but now grown she only smiled and waited. She remembered watching her human mother battle to save her and her brother's lives. How she ran through any demon that got in her sword's way, even when she was bleeding more than they. She called it a mother's love. Of course her father was there to save his family, never letting mother die at someone's hands. They fought side by side fiercely to save their children. Sadi was eleven then and still remembered how her mother picked her up and carried her to be treated by their medical man. The fight was worse for mother and father because while defending herself and Chris, they had wounds that could have killed them. Father recovered quickly with his demon blood but mother stayed in bed for 4 whole weeks before finally walking. Before long everything was back to a norm.

Sadi changed and headed down to the dining room, her parents already there waiting for her to arrive.

When she sat, servants brought out many food options. Sadi picked many different things. She then noticed her mother eating was more than enough.

"Did you have a long day mom?"

Lori sighed and put down her silverware and looked at her daughter," You could say that Sadi. But your father and I have something to tell you."

A smirk came across Sesshomaru's face as he continued to eat his meal.

"What?"

Loris eyes gleamed "I'm pregnant."

Sadi's mouth gapped in shock "Really?"

The elder blonde nodded with a smile "Yes."

Sadi went to her mother's side and touch her stomach "What gender? Do you know yet?"

Sesshomaru spoke softly "Twins: one boy and one girl."

Sadi smiled and kissed her mother's stomach "I get to be a big sister. Wow."

Lori smiled down at her daughter "That's why Chris came dear. We wanted to tell him in person like you. He was happy of course and teased your poor mother but he's excited nonetheless."

Sadi nodded but was focused on the stomach she was birthed from. It was all so exciting but made the teenager a bit nervous.

But she knew they'd be okay.
