Kagome's POV
I sigh as the doctor looks to the screen. I've always hated ultrasounds. I'm wondering why they haven't just made a machine that sees clearer. They've come up with everything else; Diamonds that may heal cancer, blueprints to a time machine, but no! We can't have clearer ultrasounds. "So?"
Enai blinks a few times. "Do you have any multiple births in your family or in Lord Sesshomaru's?"
"You mean like twins and triplets and stuff?" She nods, and I drum my fingers on the bed. "Erm, nope, not me. Maybe Sesshomaru's. He's a dog demon, you know. They have like three puppies at a time. Yes, and he just had a cousin who had six. I'd hate to have more than one. One is enough labor pain."
"I am sorry to hear that, because you are about to have two…maybe three. Yes, I think I see a fifth leg over there."
I shoot up, looking at the screen. "Where?!"
Enai taps the screen with her glove clad finger. "There's one…two…three…four…five…and…six! Yes. You're having triplets. Two girls and a boy. There is the boy." She points out a figure.
"You can't be serious."
"I am…And I know that it is none of my business milady but…have you seen anyone other than Milord?"
I stiffen, looking at her in surprise. "W-what do you mean?"
She sighs. "Have you been intimate with another? I ask because this girl over here," Her hand pats the upper right side of my stomach, "has a totally different aura than the others. I could be mistaken." I assume she noticed my eyes misting up, because she grabs my hand. "Do not feel ashamed, milady. I understand…I know about Lord Sesshomaru being unfaithful. I am not judging you."
"This can't be happening, Enai." I cry into her shoulder. "Sesshomaru won't see it that way. He'll hate me."
"He doesn't deserve someone like you." She suddenly says strongly. "The crimes that he has committed against you are simply horrible. So what you decided to find someone who loved you for you? If he can't see that he was wrong, he is in fault."
I wipe my eyes, giving her a watery smile. "You're right. I shouldn't be so worried about Sesshomaru wanting me or not. I need to decide whether or not I want him." Still, the thought of him being angry with me, the thought of him leaving me is just too much. "But how is that possible?"
"You are a miko. When you get pregnant, your children form in reiki barriers. I assume that you had both males around the same time, so the second's sperm still managed to capture and penetrate and egg."
"Oh." I stroke my arm and sigh. 'I've fucked up.' I grab my purse, embrace Enai, and return home.
That cute little girl, Rin, beams as I enter the door, running to hug my legs. "Lady Kagome, where you been?! Daddy, Amai, and me was waiting!" She's so precious, looking to Sesshomaru like he's her father. He takes to the role too. He buys her all the food and toys she wants. He spoils her as much as he does Amaimaru. These are the times when I truly can't imagine life without him, when he's so kind and selfless, caring for a child that isn't even his.
"I was just out, sweetie." I caress her cheek, lifting her up onto my hip as I continue my trek through the house. "So, where is your 'father'?"
"My room." She smiles, wrapping her little arms around my neck. She's only been here for two days, and already Sesshomaru has had a room designed for her. It is next door from Amai's, right across from ours. I enter the room, looking around in wonder. When did he find the time to have it painted orange, and look at all those toys!
Sesshomaru and Amaimaru look up from their spot on the floor where they're holding dolls. It seems little Rin has them wrapped around her finger. The great Sesshomaru, playing with dolls. He glares when I giggle. "You will not speak of this."
"You're kidding right?" I laugh, letting Rin down. "I'm telling everyone, especially Inuyasha."
Normal POV
'Inuyasha?' Rin tapped her chin lightly. She knew that name. She'd heard it. But where? Her attention was averted to her father when he rose. "Daddy, you can't go. We're not done playing."
"I need to talk with Kagome." He replied to her. "I will return afterwards."
"Promise?" When he nodded, she looked to Kagome. "And you'll come back too right?"
Kagome frowned a little. "Actually, Rin, I'm a little tired, precious." When the little girl's bottom lip quivered, a lone tear streaming down her face, Kagome sighed, "I'll be back."
"Yay!" Rin hugged her legs again. "I love you."
Both Sesshomaru and Kagome's eyes widened, before Kagome smile, patting her head. "Oh, sweetie." Truth was, she'd fallen in love with the child almost immediately. Just looking into those wide, glowing hazel eyes as she grinned her largest, toothiest grin made Kagome's heart swoon. "I love you too."
Sesshomaru then turned his surprised eyes to his wife and mate. That would not bode well when she found out about Rin. Taking her hand, he led her across the hall to their room, sitting on the bed.
His miko sighed, sinking into the comfort of the bed. "So, what'd you want to talk about?"
"Miko…when were you going to tell me that you were pregnant?"
Instantly, she shot back up. "Wh-what? Who told? Tai?"
"No." He'd figured it out on his own. She hadn't asked him to buy any feminine products, and he was certain that she was well past her due date. Then, there was the matter of her weight gain, strange eating habits, and mood swings. Not to mention, his father had confirmed him that he was right when he'd come to deliver a bucket of pistachio ice cream with pepperoni, rice, and shrimp. "I read the signs."
"I was going to tell you…when my stomach got too big to hide."
"Why would you wish to hide such from me?" He asked, caressing her round stomach with a small smile on his face. "I know that you have longed for a child, as have I."
"I know…The doctors said that my uterus healed with the help of my miko energy. That's why I had those cramps so often."
He nodded at her chosen reply, despite the fact that it didn't answer his question. Pressing his lips to her stomach, he growled soothingly, yet possessively, "You are mine, pup."
"Pups." Kagome replied softly.
"How many?"
"Two." Technically, that was right. With the other being Naraku's, there were only two pups.
Sesshomaru pulled her closer, kissing her lips. "I am having twin pups, and you did not tell me?"
Kagome blushed, licking her lips. "I'm sorry. I just didn't know what to do."
"Then you will be severely punished for keeping such from your mate." He pressed their bodies closer together.
"B-but Rin…Yes, Rin! She wanted us to return. As a lord, you have to keep your word, so let's go!"
"Afraid miko?" Sesshomaru growled the challenge as his mate tried to get off the bed.
"No. I'm honest. Now, let me up."
He looked thoughtful for a moment, before shaking his head. "No."
"No?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because I said no." With that, he pulled her down to lay with him, wrapping his legs around her.
Kagome whined, before getting an idea. "Rin! Amaimaru! Help! Hel-"
Sesshomaru slapped a hand over his mate's mouth, pinning her down on to the bed, but he was too late. The children burst into the room, grinning broadly. "We play!" They lunged at Sesshomaru, climbing onto his back.
"Oh!" Kagome groaned under the crushing weight.
Quickly, the Daiyoukai pushed himself up. "Amaimaru, we must be careful with your mother. She is expecting."
He frowned. "What?"
"Two new pups. You will have…"
"A new brother and sister." Kagome finished.
"Pregnant." Amaimaru growled, but the stern look his father gave him instantly made his growl blend into a whine.
Rin squealed. "Rin loves babies!"
Kagome groaned. "Sesshomaru, have you been speaking in the third person around her?"
"You do not find it cute or attractive?"
"On her, yes."
"But not on this Sesshomaru?"
"Right."
He growled, pushing their noses together. "I am extremely attractive."
Kagome nodded, blinking her doe eyes. "Yes…when you aren't speaking in the third person."
"You annoy me."
"I know. It's my job. It's why you mated me, right?"
"Hn."
Naraku's POV
I look up from my newspaper when there is a knock on the door. I want it to be Kagome, and yet I know that it will not be. I sent her away like a fool, a jealous, stubborn fool. Lying the newspaper on the table, I open the door.
Kikyo glares at me. "He took her."
"Who took who?"
"He took Rin, Sesshomaru!" She storms past me, going straight to the bar.
"Really, sister, you shouldn't drink so much. It will murder your liver."
"To hell with that thing. It doesn't do anything anyway." She shrugs, pouring herself a glass of brandy. "I've been trying to get in contact with you. Where the hell've you been?"
I sigh, sitting and lifting my newspaper. "Here and there."
Kikyo plops herself into a chair. "So, what are you going to do about Sesshomaru?"
"You care nothing for your daughter. Leave her to be with him."
"You're kidding! She's my daughter! I went through the pain of having her, and he isn't taking her away! Fuck the little girl, this is about more than that. He's going to tell Kagome that Rin is his."
"How did you get him to do that?" I ask, sipping my coffee.
She huffs. "Well, I didn't seduce 'em if that's what you think. I blackmailed him, and he's sick of it. Besides that, the little bitch I had told him about the few times I hit her."
I sigh. "You're a moron, Kikyo."
"How was I supposed to know she would do that? And he just took her. He took her to their home. Did you know he has her caring for my child?!"
"She's a far better mother."
"You only say that because you're fucking her."
"No longer."
She blinks. "No longer? You two aren't together anymore."
I roll my eyes. "She cannot get over him. She cannot let him be. I will not be in a relationship where she could run back to him at any time."
"Oh, so you cut her off because you're afraid. Funny. Fuuuunnnnnyyyy."
"Fuck you, Kikyo. What are you here for?"
"You're going to help me get my baby back."
I arch a brow. "And why would I do that?"
"I have information you want."
Intrigued, I lean forward. "And what is that?"
"Tell me how you're going to get her back."
"Tell me what I need to know."
Kikyo sighs. "Fine. I guess you're a man of your word most of the time, so here goes. Your fuck buddy, pregnant. Triplets. Two by Sesshomaru, one by you."
"How is that possible?"
"Don't know. Some shit about her being a miko. So…"
I drum my fingers on the table, trying not to smile. Pregnant with my child. We are to be a part of each other's lives forever now. "How do you know this?"
"Naraku, sweetheart, I have eyes everywhere. You know that, big brother. So, about Rin…I mean, Sesshomaru doesn't have any right to do what he did."
"As her father, he does…"
"…Like I said, he doesn't have a right."
My eyes widen, and I drop my mug.
Author's note: Sorry for the short chapter. I'm really tired, and feeling a little sick. I just got back from therapy. Supposedly, I have 'issues with my father'. Anywho, next chap is the party. Kag finds out what Rin truly is to Sess, and she is p'd off! Little battle with kag and Kik. Erm, yeah. I think I'm going to bed.
