Chapter 8

As Kagome was nearing the ground, she felt the sensation of her water breaking. Hands soon were around her waist and holding her close to their body. She opened her eyes to see Sesshomaru holding her tight as she landed in his arms. He looked up to see an angry/surprised hanyou looking down at them. Kagome held onto his arm as she wrapped her arm around his neck. That had been too close. She panicked and didn't know what to do. Her water broke and she could feel his youki pouring out to the air.

"Sesshomaru," Kagome whispered.

"Yes?" He answered.

"I think I'm about to give birth. My water broke while I was falling." Kagome groaned softly into his ear.

"Let us go to the estate." He said disappearing in a blur to his car.

You make it look like its magic
Cause I see nobody, nobody but you, you, you
I'm never confused
Hey, hey
I'm so used to being used

Getting to the car, he placed her in the front before going to the driver's side. Starting the engine, he roared out of the parking lot and quicker than was humanly possible. Every now and again, he'd look at her deep breathing form to see if she was okay but by the look on her face, she was in a lot of pain. Pulling up to his house, he grabbed her out the car and raced her to the infirmary. He gently sat her down on the bed and called the midwife.

An aged bird youkai walked in with the necessities for birthing. Opening her legs and removing her clothing, she looked up the cavity that was holding the boy with a deep frown. Something was wrong with him. Looking up her lady, she noted the intense pain on her face. The old hawk had birthed many children but this look was not of pain of a contraction or the fact that her body hurt. No, there was something deeply wrong here. Before she knew it, Kagome passed out from the pain. A black shadow with red eyes appeared above Kagome's belly. It howled out in the room before growling at the hawk touch his mother.

"He's dying milord. And he'll kill her." She stated after a moment.

So I love when you call unexpected
Cause I hate when the moment's expected
So I'ma care for you, you, you
I'ma care for you, you, you, yeah

"What is the problem?" Sesshomaru asked with surprise although his face never showed it.

"He has rejected his father's blood. His youki is being released into the air and poising her." The hawk explained watching the black shadow whip around watching them closely.

"How is that possible?" He asked wondering what kind of child The Grim Reaper would produce.

"Milady is already Death. Everything that came with her is inside of the child. He had a choice once she crossed over to keep the father's blood or reject it. He has been rejecting it for weeks now. In order for him to survive, he will need you."

Cause girl you're perfect
You're always worth it
And you deserve it
The way you work it
Cause girl you earned it
Girl you earned it

"How do you fix it?" He asked looking at the howling shadow.

"Your seed and blood are the only way to save them both. He will need your seed and she will need your blood. Death doesn't want to collect from its own. Can you imagine Death not collecting the souls of the dead? While she is a Ruler, she is also a Mother. Her heart will always yearn for this child she lost." The old hawk spoke wisely.

Sesshomaru looked at the sleeping woman with a deep sigh. He could see her crying her eyes out every day over this child and slowly slipping away. While she couldn't be killed, she could die on her own. She needed his seed and blood to keep both of them alive. But why his seed? Couldn't she find someone else? Looking at the dissipating shadow, he guessed not. There wasn't time to go grab someone he approved of. No one would ever be good enough for her. Walking up to her laying form, he touched her hair with a soft hand. Her eyes opened slightly and she tried to smile but she couldn't. He shook his head before rubbing a clawed finger down her face. "I have to put my seed and blood into you." He spoke softly to her.

A small painful smile appeared on her face as she closed her eyes again. "I could only hope for nobody but you." She whispered losing consciousness.

Sesshomaru nodded before looking at the old hawk woman that had already disappeared. Unbuckling his pants, he reached in and grabbed his mighty appendage. How was he supposed to do this? Looking at the shadow with one last glimpse of the dying light, he stroked himself for a second before he stuck himself into her already wet cavern. He marveled at how tight she was for someone ready to give birth. He closed his eyes and thought about all the things he found sexy but none of them seemed to work. Pictures of Kagome walking around her bath towel and her sleeping next to him caused him to move his hips. She was so beautiful when she slept. He loved the way she ruled the Underworld with an iron fist and how regal she looked.

You know our love would be tragic
So you don't pay it, don't pay it no mind, mind, mind
We live with no lies
Hey, hey
You're my favorite kind of night

He found her quiet sexy when she pressed her luscious breast onto his chest in a hug. The faces she made and the way her fingers massaged his shoulders were lovely. Just imagining her being awake right at this moment, making sounds, calling his name, the faces she would make had him getting bigger. He could imagine her breast bouncing up and down and her hands running down his chest. The way her eyes would be seducing him to follow her into climax had him picking up his speed slightly. And just when he thought he could imagine it all, an image of her leaning up to his ear and whispering of how much she loved him had him cumming deep inside her. Biting his wrist deeply, he held it to his mouth before transferring it over to her in a kiss. Pulling out, he watched some of his seed slip out before the beginning of a head did.

The old hawk youkai entered quickly before getting to work. Grabbing the baby's head, she gently pulled him out his mother's womb. Silver hair appeared as she pulled him out till his edges in the deep black before pale skin with a light purple crescent moon showed. Tiny claws and pointed ears were checked for anything that could harm him. Big red eyes stared at her lord with placidness. Cutting the cord swiftly yet painlessly, she walked over to the tub she had prepared. Shaking her head with a smile, she gently cleaned the baby in water before handing him to her lord.

"Congratulations Milord. He is a healthy happy baby boy." The hawk spoke before disappearing.

He looked at the little boy with a deep sigh. His eyes turned to the woman waking up with a soft grunt. She had transformed into Grim Reaper form. He watched her push herself up before looking at him then at the boy.

"Is that him?" She asked with a few tears gathering in her eyes.

Sesshomaru nodded.

"You really did it." She whispered as her eyes focused the boy in his hands.

So I love when you call unexpected
Cause I hate when the moment's expected
So I'ma care for you, you, you
I'ma care for you, you, you, yeah

Sesshomaru stared at her. How could he let her die? After he took the time to save her from herself, grow some confidence, and bring the protection to the Underworld for her sake. She was something he valued to his core and he clearly proved that by giving her child his seed and her his blood. But was that it? Did he just value her or was there something deeper? He could have sworn he had heard her voice whisper in his ear right before he cam. Shaking his head, he walked over to the woman before placing the boy into her hands.

Kagome smiled at her son brightly. How could she not? The look of Sesshomaru was plastered all over her child's face had her chuckling. She couldn't believe he had actually given her son his seed and gave her his blood. Did she really mean that much to him? Her eyes had opened while he was getting to the climax. She had watched. She had watched and wondered what could he be thinking so hard about that his face was turned in pleasure? Was it even about her? Before he could cum, she had leaned up and whispered in his ear before lying back down and slipping out of consciousness. How could she not? He had saved her from herself and many others in the Underworld. He was the reason NAT and the other guards protected her palace. She could never repay him for saving her son, their son, but she would try. Looking up at the tall youkai male, she smiled.

"Thank you Sesshomaru. I will forever be in your debt." She whispered happily.

Sesshomaru nodded before turning to leave and a mother and child to bond. He had much to think about and it seemed the main focus was Kagome.

Cause girl you're perfect
You're always worth it
And you deserve it
The way you work it
Cause girl you earned it
Girl you earned it

Rin raced in the room to see Kagome holding a bundle.

"Is he here?" She asked anxiously.

Kagome nodded. "Yep." She smiled.

Rin raced over to the bed before sitting next to Kagome. "What's his name?"

Kagome looked at her son before smiling. "Homaru."

Rin smiled. "Hi, Homaru."

"Homaru say hi to your sister." Kagome smiled.

Homaru stared at the two women before closing his eyes in sleep.

…

Sesshomaru sat in his study staring out the window in deep thought. His mind was on Kagome and her new addition to his family. When there was a knock on his door, he sighed and turned to the front of his desk with a sigh. The door opened and Kagome entered in with the child in her arms. He looked at the boy with a raised brow before looking back at her.

"Yes?" He asked.

"I just wanted you to meet our son." She smiled brightly.

Sesshomaru blinked before standing. Walking around the desk, he stood before her with his arms crossed. "Our son?"

"He is a part of you. Just as much as he is me, he is you. He is us. So Sesshomaru, meet our son, Homaru." She said lifting him up to him.

On that lonely night
We said it wouldn't be love
But we felt the rush
It made us believe it was only us
Convinced we were broken inside, inside

Sesshomaru looked at the boy before back at her then at him again. Taking the boy into his arms, he noted the way he rested in his arms almost like he did belong to him. The way his red eyes held nothing but he knew deep within there was something. The two stared at each other for a long moment. Kagome took the opportunity to disappear. The souls of the dead were waiting for her to collect them. He was safe with his father. Sesshomaru wouldn't let anything happen to their son. She loved that she could say that. Their son. It brought joy to her heart.

Sesshomaru laid in the pile of cushions he had in his study and held the boy to his chest. Homaru cuddled onto his chest like he should and did something that only his blood could do. Homaru's heartbeat matched with Sesshomaru's in a deep slow motion that connected them to each other. Sesshomaru closed his eyes and let the boy, his boy, sleep on his chest as the connection grew stronger. This was really his son. A son he had with a woman he cared deeply about. He was healthy and alive.

That was the scene Kagome returned to and she smiled with pure happiness. Rin came down the hall rubbing her eyes and holding a huge blanket Sesshomaru kept in a room. Kagome picked her up and carried her into the room with the blanket. She laid next to Sesshomaru before letting Rin lay on her chest as well. Grabbing the blanket, she threw it over herself and Rin before over Sesshomaru and Homaru. She placed her head on Sesshomaru's arm and sighed.

"Welcome to the family Homaru." Kagome whispered into the room.

Cause girl you're perfect
You're always worth it
And you deserve it
The way you work it
Cause girl you earned it
Girl you earned it

I earned it.

A/N: I changed the baby's name due to how the story went. He was going to be at first called Shippo but I decided that I wanted him to be named after his father. So… yeah.
