Chapter 13: 43 Days

Inuyasha couldn't sleep.

As the day of his pregnancy creeped closer, he felt more and more like he wanted to back out of this. He wasn't so sure he was ready to be a mother anymore, and when he voiced his thoughts to Shina she told him it was normal.

How were these feelings normal?

He had thought once you were pregnant you were suddenly just ready to be a mother. He didn't expect there to be fears, to be feelings he had never felt before. He never thought he would ever want a mate like Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha sighed, turning onto his side and facing Sesshomaru who was reading a scroll. They were supposed to rest together, but obviously the demon was always busy now a days. The council was urging to see Inuyasha now, while Sesshomaru wanted to wait till after the birth of his heirs.

Inuyasha was stuck in the middle of all of this in confusion. He was scared of what would happen to his relationship with Sesshomaru, what would happen to himself. Would he come out of the birthing room broken, or excited to finally hold his child?

Why was he thinking so hard about it?

Inuyasha sat up, touching a hand to his stomach when it throbbed softly. Inuyasha had grown significantly again, already tired of it. Mizuki said he was growing bigger than normal, which meant he could be carrying multiple. Inuyasha wanted to cry at that, just hoping his child was large.

Sesshomaru seemed happy at the thought of having more than one child on the first try, something Inuyasha couldn't mirror. No matter how much he warned Sesshomaru of the pain he would endure, the demon merely pushed it back. It was mostly because Sesshomaru wasn't the one carrying their pups, but Inuyasha wished he would just try to understand his fear.

Sesshomaru was as dense as always, and Inuyasha didn't want that right now. He wanted him to understand, he wanted him to show him he wasn't alone in all of this. Inuyasha sighed, feeling tears prickle the side of his eyes. He blinked them away, trying hard to stay calm.

He scratched the skin of his stomach when it started to itch, wondering why this all had to happen to him right now. His feet were swelling and his stomach hurt his back. He was tired all the time now, and the glow he had felt just a week ago was completely gone.

It wasn't fair!

Inuyasha got off the bed slowly; gasping when he swore one of his pups would fall out of his ass. He took in deep breaths, hating the thought of twins, let alone triplets at this moment. Inuyasha groaned softly as he held his swelled stomach, waddling towards the shoji. Sesshomaru watched him silently, as he always did now. The last time he tried to help Inuyasha walk he got a hit on the head and a bunch of yells telling him he wasn't crippled.

Inuyasha cursed his appetite for allowing him to eat enough to get to this point. He ate eight times a day, and not just snacks but large meals. Mizuki was glad for his large appetite, telling him he would have very healthy pups. Inuyasha could only curse at the world, so close to giving birth he felt he would explode.

He could have them as soon as next week, and the thought scared him. Inuyasha hoped they would stay in for just two more weeks, which was the ending time period for him. He was in the third to last week, and the closer the time came the more scared he got.

Inuyasha waddled to the kitchen, still hungry despite his last meal an hour ago. He passed by the birthing room, the room in which Sesshomaru had been born. Inuyasha swallowed thickly, wondering how he would take the sudden onslaught of pain. He gasped when his stomach throbbed again, the false contractions beating the crap out of him. Inuyasha groaned softly, a maid who was passing by grabbing him around the waist gently.

"Lord Inuyasha, you need to stay in bed," the maid told him urgently, Inuyasha shaking his head as his stomach growled louder than his urge to rest. The maid frowned, rubbing his sore back gently.

"Lord Inuyasha I will bring you whatever you wish, but please rest." Inuyasha wanted to argue but let himself be guided back to his room, Sesshomaru wide awake and getting dressed. Inuyasha felt fat as he moved onto the bed, Sesshomaru coming quickly to his side.

"Are you alright?" Sesshomaru asked, Inuyasha in no mood to hear his affection now. He grunted as he rested back, the maid rushing out to get him his food. Inuyasha felt a hand touch his stomach, looking to Sesshomaru whose eyes looked at his stomach with only affection. Inuyasha frowned with a small blush, Sesshomaru leaning down and giving his stomach a small kiss.

"Be patient," Sesshomaru whispered, Inuyasha feeling his anger towards him completely dissipate. He touched a hand to Sesshomaru's, looking at his large stomach as he forgot about the pain and tiredness for a moment. His stomach was covered in veins as he stretched out to the max, and while laying on his back he could see movement.

Those were their pups inside of him.

"Sit me up," Inuyasha whispered when the pain in his back became too much, Sesshomaru helping him sit up. They both stared at his stomach, feeling for the movement inside. Inuyasha smiled, running a thumb over his protruding belly button.

"Who do you think they'll look like?" Inuyasha asked, Sesshomaru silent for a long second.

"A mixture or mostly like me." Inuyasha snorted, bumping Sesshomaru softly who smirked in turn. Inuyasha forgot about the pain of labor, only feeling love for the beings inside of him. He suddenly felt an urge to hold them in his arms, and a fear of his was wiped away.

"Even though they'll tear me apart, I can't wait to see them." Sesshomaru looked to Inuyasha, his eyes looking over his mates face. Sesshomaru moved a strand of hair from Inuyasha's face, Inuyasha's eyes meeting his own.

"Why do you love me?" Sesshomaru asked, Inuyasha smiling softly as Sesshomaru laid his head on his lap. Inuyasha moved his hair out of his face, wondering why he even felt that way for him.

"Cause you're an asshole," Inuyasha told him, Sesshomaru frowning as he yearned for an actual answer. Inuyasha chuckled, smoothing out the lines between Sesshomaru's eyebrows.

"Tell anybody I said this and I'll deny it," Inuyasha told him, Sesshomaru smirking before nodding. Inuyasha sighed softly, hoping to the god's nobody else heard him say this.

"When I submitted to you, I didn't know why I did. I just felt like you would protect me, even if the world went to hell. I fell in love with the way you felt inside of me, and the way you always tried to hide your affections. I loved the way how you always made sure I was happy, even though you tried to punish me if I wasn't submissive. Over time you became an open book." Sesshomaru grabbed the wrist of the hand that played with his hair, Inuyasha blushing when he raised an eyebrow in question.

"You like how I feel inside of you?" He echoed, Inuyasha rolling his eyes before pushing him away.

"Shut up," Inuyasha grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest and looking away. Sesshomaru took off the clothes he had put on earlier, Inuyasha trying not to look as Sesshomaru moved closer to him.

"Would you like it now?" Sesshomaru whispered in his ear, Inuyasha shivering as he bit down on it lightly. He closed his eyes as Sesshomaru opened his kimono, touching a finger to his nipple. Inuyasha took in a gasp, Sesshomaru leaning down to take the nipple into his mouth. Inuyasha rested his head against the bed frame, shivering as Sesshomaru sucked softly.

Sesshomaru pulled away suddenly, Inuyasha feeling something wet slide down his chest. He looked to it, seeing he was already producing milk. He blushed red, but Sesshomaru did not seem to notice his embarrassment. Inuyasha gasped when he suckled hard, the feeling pleasurable despite his embarrassment. Sesshomaru moved to the other nipple, Inuyasha pushing him away when he couldn't take the feeling anymore.

He groaned as he covered his chest, moaning softly as his embarrassment tried to chase away the feeling of pleasure. Sesshomaru was panting, his cheeks tinted a light pink. Inuyasha gasped when he was lifted, Sesshomaru moving him so Inuyasha could straddle his lap.

Inuyasha was shocked he had actually lifted him like a rag doll while this size, his thoughts ending abruptly as a finger pressed against his ass. Inuyasha tried to squirm away but froze when it slipped inside, his insides heavily lubricated. Inuyasha let his head fall forward, groaning softly as Sesshomaru worked the finger inside of him.

Inuyasha gripped his shoulders, his forehead resting against Sesshomaru's neck as he pleasured him. Inuyasha bit his bottom lip, moaning softly as he rolled his hips over Sesshomaru's finger. Sesshomaru growled softly, licking his mating mark.

Sesshomaru wanted to just go at it, but since Inuyasha was heavily pregnant he didn't want to hurt him. Inuyasha was wiggling in his arms, sweet moans making Sesshomaru bit down on his tongue. It was torture, and by the time he worked in a second finger he couldn't take it anymore.

Inuyasha moved Sesshomaru's fingers out of him, pushing him down onto the bed. Sesshomaru frowned in confusion, Inuyasha moving up so he straddled his hips. Sesshomaru wanted to sit up but Inuyasha pushed him back down, growling softly as he moved up his hips. Sesshomaru didn't like having his dominance taken away, but when he went to growl in anger Inuyasha grabbed his member.

Inuyasha positioned himself to take him in, lowering his hips to slide down. Inuyasha parted his lips in pleasure, not even able to go down all the way. He had thought having sex at this stage would cause pain, but inside he felt only pleasure. Inuyasha shivered. Too much pleasure.

Inuyasha went to rise up but Sesshomaru grabbed his hips, suddenly very willing to be in this position. Inuyasha gasped when Sesshomaru worked his way in slowly, touching a hand to his chest with a moan. Sesshomaru groaned in pleasure when he was fully sheathed, Inuyasha practically covered in hives as his body shook on top of him.

"Am I hurting you?" Sesshomaru managed to get out, Inuyasha shaking his head as he rolled his hips on top of him so he pressed against all of his good spots. Sesshomaru looked to Inuyasha's hips when they felt rounder and smoother in his hands, his mind glad to see Inuyasha had started to become more shaped. His body was prepared to give birth to their pups, and that turned Sesshomaru on more.

Inuyasha gasped when Sesshomaru thrusted up, riding the soft bucking of his hips. He rolled his hips against his, crying out when he thrusted in a deep angle. Inuyasha rose up some, which gave Sesshomaru the idea to pull him back down. Inuyasha cried out in pleasure, Sesshomaru forcing him to move with soft grunts of effort.

Inuyasha had forgot about Sesshomaru's strength, the demon able to throw him like a rag doll if he really wanted to. Inuyasha's eyes rolled into the back of his head as Sesshomaru moved his hips faster, his body jerking.

Inuyasha tensed when he came suddenly, his cheeks becoming red as he felt embarrassment crawl into the back of his mind. Sesshomaru didn't let the feeling last for long, his hips moving inside of him in a steady pace.

Inuyasha groaned in sensitivity, trying to pull away when his stomach twisted and his hips burned with pleasure. His balls slapped against Sesshomaru's, his toes curled as his member jerked weakly back to life. Inuyasha absolutely screamed when Sesshomaru moved faster inside of him, making his body go into overdrive. Inuyasha grabbed onto Sesshomaru's hands, arching his back as he screamed in ecstasy.

Sesshomaru wanted to cum at the sight but held it off, wanting to coax out more of Inuyasha's screams. He would never admit it but hearing him scream for more made his ego inflate. Sesshomaru needed to know Inuyasha was being pleased, and when he knew he felt amazing.

Inuyasha felt his member twitch, shivering as his body tried to arouse him to hardness. Inuyasha whimpered, not even sure he could do it at this point. He let go of Sesshomaru's hands, groaning as he felt his body tighten and his toes curl. Inuyasha cried out when his body spasmed, Sesshomaru grunting when his body gripped him tight.

He growled when his body came out of shock, Inuyasha gasping softly as he worked Sesshomaru's seed into his body. He moved off from him slowly afterward, too tired for words. Sesshomaru seemed the same way, pulling Inuyasha close. A knock on the shoji brought them back to the world of the present, Inuyasha too tired to answer.

"Lord Inuyasha, I have your food." Inuyasha's eyes napped open.

How long had the maid been standing there?
