Very short chapter! I'm sorry! But a lot happens in this one! Please read and review!


It had taken another thirty minutes before the anesthesiologist got there with Kagome's epidural. Inuyasha growled and dismissed him before his mate had woken up; and before he ran the fucker out of town. His pups were sleeping quietly now, although they were in his arms instead of the basinets. Looking down he smiled. His pups were just like them in every way. Well his daughter had puppy ears instead of regular ears but he was sure that Kagome wouldn't mind; especially after the way she fondled his own ears.

Looking down at his mate he smiled. She was exhausted and finally she was getting some rest; he was glad for that. Hearing a slight knock on the door he looked up to see his parents and mother-in-law come in quietly. Smiling down at his little ones he slowly got up from his mate's side to join the new grandparents. He could see his mom and Kagome's mom almost jumping up and down in joy, his father had a huge smile plastered on his face.

"So judging by the pink and blue we have a grandson and granddaughter?"

Inuyasha smiled as his father and chuckled. "I see your excitement hasn't clouded your judgment old man…"

Toga growled at his pup but Izy smacked him over his head. "Shh! You'll wake them!"

It was too late though. The pups started to wiggle in their father's arms opening their eyes looking around. The grandparents gasped at the pup's eyes. "That's very unique."

Inuyasha puffed out his chest in pride. "Coming from the great Inu-no-Tashio clan, would you expect anything less?"

Toga laughed. "No I guess not!"


Kagome was released with the pups three days later. She was surprised when her mate rolled up in a new SUV when she was waiting to be picked up at the hospital. When asked about the car he looked at her strangely. "What you expected me to bring my beautiful mate and new pups home in a sports car?!"

Kagome just blinked and then smiled. "Inuyasha I knew how much you loved that car. You could've traded mine in and kept that one…"

He smiled as he installed the car seats. "What makes you think I got rid of mine?"

Her eyes grew wide. "INUYASHA?!"

He had finally installed one properly. "What?! You said it was fine!"

"Was I half asleep when we discussed this?!" She was gaining attention of everyone else around them but she didn't care.

"NO! We discussed this three weeks ago after work! You said that we needed to get a bigger car and you made mention of trading yours in! I thought you would be happy!"

Kagome sighed as she came up to her mate and tugged on his ear then hugged him. "I am happy Inuyasha… I just wish you would've discussed it more with me…"

He rubbed his ear with his fingers as he hugged her with the other. Looking at the new car with disdain now, he knew she was right. She wasn't in the right state of mind when they were talking about it. He sighed. "So do you like the surprise or not?"

She smiled and kissed him. "I love it…"


That wasn't the only surprise that awaited Kagome that day. She was sitting in the back with the pups in their car seats when she noticed that they hadn't arrived at the apartment yet. "Inuyasha? Where are we going?"

He smiled. "Well the car was only half the surprise. And the way you acted with the first surprise is making me nervous about the second one…."

She unbuckled her seat beat and scooted up to him so she could talk to him better. "Inu, I'm sorry I yelled at you about the car. I should've seen it coming. I do like it by the way…"

Inuyasha smiled and released a breath he was holding. "Well remember a few months back we were just looking at houses online?"

Kagome blinked, a little confused. "Yeah?"

Inuyasha found his turn and turned his blinker on. "Remember that one you loved by the lake that was close to the shire but had enough space to expand on?"

Looking out in front of her, she saw that he had turned down a paved road with trees on either side. That's when she saw it. The house that she fell in love with online. It was traditional style house with two levels, plenty of land so the pups could run and play on and if they wanted to, they could build more onto the house. She gasped. "Inuyasha Tashio! You didn't?!"

They pulled up and saw many cars already there. Seeing her family and his family already there with a huge sign on the side of the house saying 'Welcome Home.' She was shocked but had a huge smile on her face. "Inu! When did you have time to do this?!"

He parked the car, unbuckled his seat belt and turned to her with a smile on his face. "Oh I have my ways. So do u like it?"

"Like it? LIKE IT?! I absolutely LOVE IT!" She gave him a huge hug from where she was in the car. Hearing their pups start to whimper they looked and saw they were getting antsy wanting to be held instead of in a car seat. The new parents giggled and smiled.

"Well let's get them inside so I can show you around. I hope you like the nursery. I designed it myself…"


All of their things had been moved from their apartment in the short amount of time that she was in the hospital; along with some new furniture. She smiled. IT looked like her mate had been busy. Walking to the nursery she was astounded. It was beautiful. The furniture was chocolate brown. There was a changing table, a couple of rocking chairs, a couple of chest of drawers for her pup's clothing, and instead of two cribs, one big one that was about the size of two. She smiled. One wall was painted tan with a tree and green leaves. The rest of the room was speckled with blue and pink. Kagome turned to see her mate propping up the doorjamb with a smile on his face. He walked up to her giving her a hug. He nuzzled her neck where her mating mark laid and kissed it. "So do you like it?"

Kagome looked up with tears in her eyes, smiling she gave him a kiss. "It's perfect. Thank you Inu…"

Kissing her again he smiled. "There's something else I got you…"

She laughed. "Another surprise Inu? I think you're buttering me up for something you did wrong…"

He chuckled. "No… The wrong was already done, but I can say it was the best wrong I've ever done. I regret that our first time was a one night stand but I'm so glad of the outcome. I think we are stronger and more connected this way. I know I have done everything out of order but now I'm making it right…"

He got down on one knee taking her hands in his. "Inuyasha? What are you doing?"

He smiled and fumbled with a little box in his pocket. Finally getting it out he opened the small box making her gasp at the contents on the inside. "Kagome Higurashi, make me the happiest half-demon in the world and become my wife. You are already my mate and the mother of my pups; and I couldn't be happier… This is just to make it legal for your family and the government. Will you marry me?"

Kagome smiled leaning down to kiss him. "Well since you put it that way… Yes I will be your wife…"

He laughed as he stood up and placed the ring on her finger, bringing her into his arms he rocked her as his heart swelled with love for her. Hers did the same.

"So can my grandfather marry us?"

He laughed. "As long as he leave the sutra's home, I'm fine with it…"
