Omg, I am so sorry I did not upload this past Thursday. I didn't even realize what day it was! Thank you guys so much for reviewing & reading; it really means a lot :)
Today was their first official 24 hour day at home with Hiten with no company. So far, so good but then again it was only ten in the morning.
Inuyasha dragged himself out of bed at the sound of crying & down the hall to the nursery where Hiten was throwing a fit as if he couldn't believe he was not being served hand & foot right this moment. "Ok, ok, calm down, Boo. I'm here, I'm here…" he murmured & checked the boy's diaper. It didn't seem to be full but he laid him down to change him anyway. The hanyou braced himself for what he was going to find but other than some pee & a little bit of poo, it really wasn't that bad. The smell however…
After being dried up & put in clean diapers, Hiten was satisfied & easily went back to sleep, his face snuggled into his father's neck. Inuyasha gently bounced him & hummed to him a while longer before settling him back into his crib & pulling the blankets over him. He yawned & dragged himself back to his bedroom where Sesshomaru was knocked out, snoring softly with his hair all over the pillows. Inuyasha grinned & slid in beside him so he could quickly go back to sleep. The demon was so warm…mmmm…
What felt like thirty seconds later, he was awoken out of a deep sleep to shrill crying. It took him a little longer but eventually he was able to pull himself out of bed & down the hall to the nursery. Hiten was really mad; this didn't sound like a "I need my diaper changed" cry. This sounded like a job for Sesshomaru.
He went in anyway to pick the baby up, kissing away his tears & tried to get him to calm down before he took Hiten back to where Sesshomaru was still sleeping. "Sessh…baby, Hiten's hungry"
The demon slowly opened his eyes & yawned. "What time is it…?"
"Pull a titty out o' clock, apparently. His patience is wearing thin here"
Sesshomaru sat up & took Hiten in his arms, murmuring softly to him as he pulled his shirt down & began feeding him, almost immediately falling back asleep himself. Inuyasha got back in bed but didn't fall asleep right away. He buried his nose in Hiten's hair, closing his eyes & breathing deeply. He wanted the child to always smell like this, like a little wildflower in the middle of summer but he knew once kids turned into teenagers, they'd start smelling all kinds of wrong. Thankfully that was a long way away.
As Inuyasha pulled away, Hiten reached his little hands up like he was trying to feel who was there. The hanyou smirked & kissed the boy's hands one by one, chuckling when he grabbed his lips. "You better stop before I eat ya hands off"
He made chomping noises & captured Hiten's hands between his lips & Hiten laughed, not quite detaching from his Otosan's nipple. When Inuyasha did it again, the child laughed once more & snatched his hands away, causing Sesshomaru to wake up.
"What are you doing?" the inuyoukai asked, voice hoarse with sleep.
Inuyasha kissed his cheek. "Just playing with Boo. You ready for breakfast?"
Sesshomaru hummed, nodding. "I might as well since you woke Hiten up. He won't be going back to sleep anytime soon now"
"He's an infant, of course he'll go back to sleep"
Both inus stood & made their way to the kitchen. Inuyasha took eggs & sausage out of the fridge & pots & pans from the dish drain as Sesshomaru sat at the bar stool. Hiten deemed himself done with feeding so he waved his fists around aimlessly & played with his feet, talking every once in a while.
"How much longer until he opens his eyes?" Inuyasha wondered.
"It will be soon" Sesshomaru mused. Hiten opened his eyes very little, just enough to where you could tell if you held him in a certain position but not enough to see the color.
"You think he'll have human nights?"
"I somewhat doubt that. He's more demon than human"
"But wouldn't that just be so cute?"
Sesshomaru smirked. Their son was cute anyway, whether he had human nights or always remained a demon. Maybe he was being biased but he found it hard to deny that.
"I wonder what kind of powers he'll have….?" The hanyou murmured, sniffing Hiten's hair as if it held the answer & the boy waved the nose away.
"I'm sure he'll be very strong…& very fast…& maybe he will inherit powers that we don't have"
Hiten frowned & stiffened as if something offended him. Just when Sesshomaru was getting concerned that maybe something was wrong, they heard a loud, offensive fart that definitely came bearing some gifts. The inuyoukai's face contorted in disgust when the hand that was supporting Hiten's bottom felt very warm (though nothing was on said hand).
Inuyasha leaned back quickly. "Whoa that ain't a power he got from me!"
Then the smell hit. Sesshomaru damn near passed out as it slapped him in the face rudely. Hiten had the nerve to smirk, as if he was doing it on purpose. The inuyoukai stood up to go change the child but when Inuyasha exclaimed in horror & he looked down to find poop starting to seep through Hiten's pants, he took off upstairs, his heart racing like his life depended on not getting that poop anywhere. He had every intention of changing Hiten on his changing station but this looked like a job for a bath. No amount of baby wipes was going to get the job done.
Sesshomaru turned the shower on & slowly stripped Hiten of his nasty clothes, groaning in disgust when he saw just how much he had to clean up. He had to have this rinsed off first. The ungodly amount was no match for a little tub. He checked the temperature &, after feeling the water was alright, stripped himself & stepped into the shower, holding Hiten out so the water rinsed the poop off. Hiten screeched, surprised by the water & Sesshomaru kissed his cheeks & forehead.
"You're ok, koibito. You're safe. I'm here"
Hiten calmed considerably but his face was fixed with a frown that rivaled his fathers, which made the inuyoukai smile. For right now, Hiten didn't really look like either one of them but he could definitely see Inuyasha when he became upset.
Sesshomaru finished their shower & wrapped the infant in a fluffy towel while he got dressed. Apparently taking a poo that big tuckered the boy out & after such a lovely shower & being wrapped in something insanely comfortable, he slept soundly, even snoring, which caused the demon to chuckle.
There was a knock at the bathroom door. "Sessh?"
"I am sure we're at a point in our lives where I won't be upset if you saw me naked, Yasha"
The hanyou peeked in then stepped into the bathroom, grinning. "True but I gotta respect your privacy either way. I was about to ask if you needed any help since breakfast was done"
Sesshomaru finished rubbing oil on his skin & started getting dressed. "You're lying. You did not want to help with that clean up"
"You're right but hey, had to act like I was up for the job at least" Inuyasha murmured, his eyes traveling up & down Sesshomaru's body. He still had a little tummy & stretch marks on his side but he was ok with that. He knew nothing he would say would ever deter Sesshomaru from getting back in the gym but he liked what he saw right now. He was thicker in general & it had the hanyou purring.
"Inuyasha…" Sesshomaru warned, picking up a still sleeping Hiten who was now fully dressed.
"What's up, baby?"
The inuyoukai frowned when his mate wrapped an arm around his waist & started to lean down to kiss him. "If you hadn't notice I'm holding a baby, Inuyasha…"
"Let's put him to bed & roll around in the sheets then…" the hanyou murmured, letting his hand fall to the demon's ass to rub it sensuously.
The idea was tempting, very much so, in fact, Sesshomaru almost put Hiten back in his fluffy towel but he resisted (with the power of Kami, no doubt) & side stepped his fiancée. "We should eat before the food gets cold. It would be just our luck to skip breakfast & as soon as we sit to eat, Hiten wakes up"
Inuyasha growled low in his throat & slapped the demon's ass firmly. It wasn't an intimidation growl or a warning to submit, just one that sent the message that he had a need he wanted his significant other to satisfy but Sesshomaru kept walking, his nose in the air.
"Stuck up bastard" Inuyasha growled.
"Fiendish half breed" Sesshomaru shot back over his shoulder.
As soon as the demon laid the boy in his crib, Inuyasha tackled him to the floor, fighting to keep the inuyoukai's hands under his knees. That was no easy feat as Sesshomaru was still a force to be reckoned with, even though he'd just had a child a week ago. He snatched his hands out from under the hanyou's knees & very forcefully, pushed the half breed off of him. Before Inuyasha could even recover Sesshomaru was on him, straddling him. He dared not press his fangs to the Alpha's neck. That would've turned into a messy fight he did not want to have, especially in the same room as their son.
"Admit defeat" he purred, rolling his hips a bit.
Inuyasha bit his bottom lip & lifted his hips to meet the ones above in delicious friction. "You'd like that, wouldn't you?"
"Nothing gets me harder than you giving in…" Sesshomaru murmured in a low voice, leaning forward to brush his lips over Inuyasha's collarbone.
The hanyou hummed in pleasure when his mate placed an open mouthed kiss on his chest & shuddered in delight when he did the same to the side of his neck. Oh my God, that was his spot. "Sorry I can't always let you have your way" he said before grabbing Sesshomaru's arm & flinging him in the opposite direction of Hiten.
Sesshomaru recovered before he hit the wall & righted himself in a crouch, smiling devilishly at Inuyasha. "So you're going to be difficult?"
The hanyou shrugged a shoulder, smirking. "Ain't I always?"
The inuyoukai ran towards him & at the last minute he swept the half breed's feet from under him. Inuyasha fell hard on his right hip, which caused him to groan. He breathed through the pain & lounged for Sesshomaru who danced out of the way & took a few steps back, his gait taunting. The half breed growled & shot up, reaching his hand out to grab his mate's shirt but the demon was too quick. Inuyasha couldn't do this as a half demon…he had to tap into his demonic power.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow when Inuyasha closed his eyes & balled his fists. What was that pesky half breed up to now? Static made the lights flicker & the inuhanyou's hair began to stand on end as his claws & fangs lengthened & jagged, purple marks extended just under his cheekbones. When his eyes opened to reveal them to be blood red, hot lava flowed across Sesshomaru's belly. He had just enough time to side step a non-lethal swipe & take off running. He was just forming a destination in mind when a heavy body rammed into his side & slammed him into the wall.
He panted, staring his transformed mate in his red, red eyes defiant even after being caught. "Thanks to that, we'll have to repair this wall"
"Fuck it, I've got plenty of money to repair it…" Inuyasha growled. His voice was so deep & sensual, Sesshomaru damn near melted, "Submit"
"You've been around me long enough to know that I will not" the inuyoukai whispered, his voice trembling slightly in excitement as Inuyasha slowly grabbed his wrists & raised them above his head.
"I will not ask you again"
"Then don't"
The puppy eared semi demon growled low in his throat & grinded his hips forward, smiling when his mate's eyes fluttered closed, obviously enjoying the action. "I suggest you do it before I make you"
"I suggest you shove it up you-"
Sesshomaru grunted as his face was pressed to the wall that had previously been behind him, his arm twisted behind his back almost painfully.
"Sessh, baby…stop being stubborn before you get hurt" Inuyasha purred close to his ear.
"Fuck you, you generic brand demon"
The semi-youkai chuckled & licked the back of the silver haired beauty's neck slowly then grazed his teeth across the sensitized skin. Ah, he tasted like honeysuckle.
Just as he reached down to grab his erection, there was a whine & both of them froze, hoping it would taper off & the pup would go to sleep. There was a few moments of silence before the whine was amplified to a full blown cry & Inuyasha sighed, releasing Sesshomaru's arm with an apologetic kiss.
The inuyoukai straightened & trailed his hand teasingly across the front of Inuyasha's pants. "Until next time then…"
Sesshomaru trekked back upstairs to the nursery & picked his son up, who was fussing like he was very offended. "Oh, my goodness, What's the matter, my koibito? What's the matter?"
He tried feeding him but Hiten only pushed him away irritably, his feet kicking in frustration. Even though his diaper did not smell or feel like it needed to be changed, Sesshomaru checked anyway. Hiten was dry…so why was he crying like he'd been neglected all morning? He checked the child over to see if maybe he was bleeding or had any bruises or anything to show he might be in pain but there was nothing. Sesshomaru hadn't been trained to know what to do at this point, so…he sat down in the rocking chair & simply stared at his son. He tried to convey the message to Hiten that he had no idea what the boy needed but Hiten, apparently, thought he was a mind reader & started scratching his face as he got even more angrier.
"Stop that, koibito" Sesshomaru cooed, "Tell Otosan what's wrong. What ails you, son?"
Unfortunately, Hiten couldn't speak yet. Inuyasha came in, his face etched with a frown. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know. He won't feed, he's not wet & he doesn't have any physical pains"
"Lemme see…" Inuyasha murmured & gently picked Hiten from his mate's arms, "Boo, why ya cryin'? Who hurt you, Boo, tell me & I'll kick their ass"
"Inuyasha…"
"Sorry. Tell me & I'll kick their…behind"
After a rough fifteen minutes of walking around the house, gently bouncing Hiten in his arms & humming to him, Hiten was back asleep as if nothing ever happened. By then Inuyasha's nerves were frazzled & he had no desire to eat the breakfast he cooked so very long ago. Sesshomaru, however, had no problem popping the food in the oven for a few minutes then sat to enjoy it.
Inuyasha flopped on the couch where Sesshomaru was sitting watching tv & heaved a great sigh. "I could sleep for days"
Sesshomaru rubbed his ears slowly. "Just think, one day he'll be able to do for himself & he won't cry"
"Keh! Then he'll just ask for money!"
"According to you, you have plenty of that to spare" the inuyoukai murmured as the hanyou laid his head in his lap to get more comfortable. These ear rubs were amazing…
"Yeah, well…I ain't rich or nothing. I'm just providing for my family, is all"
"So you plan on having more children?" Sesshomaru asked incredulously.
"Well, yeah….I mean one kid is great but he's gotta have a sibling right?"
"Not necessarily!"
Inuyasha chuckled & rubbed his cheek on the material of Sesshomaru's sweats. "Don't be like that. It always hurts the first time" he said with a wink.
"But when it hurts that much, you are not in a hurry to be back in that position"
They watched some tv for a while, mostly in silence. It was a gorgeous day outside, perfect for going to the park or going for a stroll around the block but from the way the sun was beaming, they had a good feeling it was very hot too. One in the afternoon usually felt like the fifth layer of Hell in their city. As Sesshomaru started dozing off, lulled by Inuyasha's deep breathing, they heard a noise from the nursery.
Inuyasha sighed & sat up. "I'll go get 'em"
"But he hasn't even started cry-"
Hiten made his displeasure known as he cried a little louder, different from the last cry. This one was more like, "Hey how about a snack?".
"You were saying?" the hanyou asked with one eyebrow raised.
He went upstairs & returned about ten minutes later, a fussy Hiten in tow. The boy wasn't really crying just impatient, whining.
"Think he's hungry" Inuyasha muttered & handed the infant to his mate to start feeding him. Immediately Hiten latched on & fed happily, his little legs kicking in contentment.
Sesshomaru exhaled slowly. "Do you think it'll be like this for the next couple of years? Not having time to ourselves or be able to sleep as long as we want?"
"Pretty sure it will be" Inuyasha answered, his hands behind his head as he lounged against the opposite end of the couch, "That's why we gotta have 'em close together so when they grow up, we'll be left the hell alone"
The silver haired beauty chuckled & looked down at his son. "Your father is something else. One can only hope you inherit only his best traits…which are few"
Inuyasha smirked. "Whatever"
Once Hiten deemed himself finished he detached & let out a huge yawn. Sesshomaru didn't feel like walking upstairs to put him back in his crib so he simply laid him between two cushions beside him & turned his attention to Inuyasha who was absentmindedly watching tv, twirling a lock of his hair in one hand.
"Inuyasha…"
The hanyou's ears perked up at the seductive whisper & his breath caught as Sesshomaru crawled up to him like a predator, slowly licking his lips. When the demon got close enough he licked one ear & gently nibbled on it, smirking when the hanyou shuddered in pleasure.
"I'm not wearing any underwear…" he whispered.
"Jesus…" Inuyasha breathed & wrapped an arm around his mate's waist. He'd been trying to ignore how hard he was for what felt like hours; he'd gladly let Sesshomaru shower it with some attention!
Hiten however, had other plans. He cried just as their lips were about to meet & the hanyou sighed heavily, rolling his eyes to the ceiling. "Why, Kami? Why me?"
The inuyoukai smirked & kissed his mate as he sat back to cradle their son. "Welcome to parenthood, I guess"
