When Mrs. Higurashi found out she was having a grandchild she had been overjoyed with the news. The past few years had seen her receive more than her share of grand news. Her eldest had been mated and was now pregnant, her second oldest was getting married in September, and her youngest was seriously dating a demon. Since Shippo had been a young demon who she had adopted as a teenager when his parents died, she was happy that he had been able to find someone who accepted him and his rather diversified upbringing.
She was currently wiping her brow in the hot August sun. Masa, now three, had decided that playing a game of tag was more fun than anything and had taken to chasing Rin and his grandmother all over the shrine grounds. Seeing the parents returning from their trip to the wedding venue site Mrs. Higurashi ushered the children into the house. Yes, it was a good year indeed.
