Rin sat at a stop sign waiting for Koga. She eyed her wedding ring and wondered how their life would be if they had never lost their first child. When she saw Koga pull up behind her, she took her attention back to the road. Rin waited for traffic to clear before she accelerated into the closest turning lane from the gas station.

her options were hurriedly different.

Rin counted.

...

one

...

two

...

three

It happened in an instant. Her vision blurred and she passed out. Her foot went heavy on the gas pedal before she accelerated into a lamp post. Sunny and ran cried which stirred Rin awake for a moment before the force of a car hitting them near the trunk made Rin hit her head on the glass of her door. It all went black from there. Nothing.

Sesshomaru was sitting at the edge of his and Rins bed when he could hear his phone ring. He left it downstair and after letting out a brief sigh and stood up. Looking over his shoulder he saw that the bottle was only a quarter of the way gone. He noticed the bottle almost halfway gone. Normally he would have already killed the bottle and would be downstairs looking for his next bottle. He shrugged and walked downstairs to listened to where his phone was vibrating.

After picking it up he groaned. It was HIM. Is he calling to gloat that he won after all the hard work Sesshomaru put into being sober...

"What?" The annoyance in his voice didnt phase Koga. "You have to get to the hospital. The twins are fine but Rin..." Sesshomaru didnt want to hear anymore. He immediately hung up and dialed his father. The phone rang its annoying tone which felt like forever before Inutaisho picked up.

"Rin? Twins?" Sesshomaru could already feel his inner beast peaking its anger out through him. There was a long silence before his father spoke up.

"Rin was going back to your place and as she was turning around...Shes human son...She cant handle the sickness like you can... She passed out from the pain this time and hit a streetlight. The a car going in the opposite direction swerved to not hit her car but ended up nipping the end...She hit her head badly. The twins are fine. But they need their mother or father. Theres only so much me and Izayoi can do..."

"I'll be there." He hung up on his father and grabbed his car keys. He knew he didnt drink enough to make him drunk and the situation sobered him up immenesly." When he got that sinking feeling in his stomach he thought it was because he felt guilt from breaking his sobriety. He should have known it was because Rin was in danger.

After a good 30 minutes of speeding Sesshomaru parked his car in the first spot he saw and ran as fast as he could in the direction he could smell his father. He didnt let the gasps from the nurses or doctors jumping out of his way. They knew who Sesshomaru was and trying to stop him would surely cost them their jobs.

When Sesshomaru reached the door where the scent was strongest was. He could hear his children crying. If he burst in it would probably make things worse. He collected himself and knocked on the door. The crying stopped as Sesshomaru reached out a hand for the doorknob. His voice caught in his throat when he heard his father ask who was at the door. He knew his father knew who it was so he just invited himself in. Trying to not looked worried he looked to his children who were still wiping their eyes. Cheeks flushed from screaming. His stepmother Izayoi had bags under her eyes and he knew they were just too much for her to deal with. Still not saying a word, he reached out for his daughter who he knew would want to be held first.

"How is she?" He managed to work out before feeling Sunny wrap her tiny clawed hand onto his shirt. Her favorite thing to do when he held her he noticed.

"Shes stable but asleep. She was barely conscious when they admitted her. Koga called us first because he didnt think she'd want her first emergency contact...here to admit her with the children so vulnerable. " Inutaisho stated. Sesshomaru brushed it off and was glad he was at least there now. Little Sunny was sniffling under him but at least she wasnt screaming like he had heard minutes before. "Whens the last time they ate?" All attention went to Izayoi but she shrugged.

"We couldnt get their bag from the car after the accident. There wasnt anytime.I don't think they want to eat until they know their mother is safe..." Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at his stepmom and gently took Ran from her. "We will be back...Call if she wakes up."

At a slower pace he walked through the hospital. Watching the people he passed in such a hurry eye him as he left with two infants in his arms. Sesshomaru clenched them closer as if any of them could take his children from him. His guard was up now. It was just him and them. Would he be like a stranger to them though? He hadnt spent this much time with them since Rin left him. He could see Ran staring at the hospital doors as they left knowing his mother was in there.

Sesshomaru could hear Rans sniffling and started to bounce his son in an attempt to soothe him. When he reached his car he tried hard to balance the twins so he could open the car door. At this point he was glad Rin insisted on getting two of every thing for each car. There was a double stroller in the trunk and a spare diaper bag but he would buy replacements just in case the formula in his bag had expired since he was last in there.

After a dangerous game of "Lets get the twins in their carseats." Sesshomaru sat in the drivers seat for a quick breather. Rin dealt with all of this by herself when he was drinking every night? No wonder she wanted to leave him.

"Sunny." Sesshomaru snapped once he saw her chewing at her carseat. She huffed then looked away. This one had an attitude like his brother. "Great..." They have their own personalities and I feel that one is going to give Rin more issues than me. He thought to himself. If Rin ever woke up.

The drive was uneventful to his surprise since the twins just looked at each other and mumbled their cryptophasia. He would have assumed they were asleep if he didnt feel their eyes on him every once in a while. Still silent. The most he heard from them was when they were both screaming at Izayoi.

"Do you two talk yet?" Sesshomaru felt ridiculous, like he was talking to himself. Technically he was until he heard Ran giggle. His golden eyes similar to Sesshomarus staring at him in the rearview mirror. His son had grown since the last time he remembered seeing him and Sesshomaru wondered what else he had missed.

After the grocery store Sesshomaru made his way back to the hospital. The twins were acting anxious being so far away from their mother. They knew something was up.

Ran started to cry as Sesshomaru was parking his car. Being a father was a new experience since he left Rin to do all the work. These were his children and he couldnt care for them the way their mom did. Sesshomaru got out of the car and went to his trunk to get the stroller out again. Sunny watched until Sesshomaru left her sight and started to cry with Ran not knowing where her father went.

Sesshomaru quickly unfolded their stroller and grabbed their baby bag. They still havent eaten so thats probably why they were being so fussy.

He strapped Ran and Sunny down as quickly as he could and made his way into the hospital to find his father and stepmother. Following their scent he got back to the room where his parents were waiting for him. Izayoi stared at him amazed.

She got up from her seat and walked towards Sesshomaru and the twins. "Let me help!" She didnt wait for Sesshomaru to answer and picked up the diaper bag from him. Izayoi mixed the formula with water and shook the bottles. Sesshomaru eyed her and was a little envious of how well she had the parent roll down.

He picked up Ran and handed him to Izayoi. He grabbed Sunnys bottle before picking her up. She eagerly reached for it with a smile. Sesshomaru was aware of his fathers eyes on him the whole time whil he and Izayoi fed the babies.

"Youre doing a really good job!" Izayoi giggled then smiled at Sesshomaru. She held Ran close until he latched onto his bottle then handed Ran over to her husband. "I'm going to check on Rin." She left the two men alone and dumbfounded. Sure Inutaisho raised Sesshomaru and Inuyasha but he never dealt with two babies at the same time, let alone a girl baby.

"It's okay father..." Sesshomaru put Sunny back in her stroller then reached for Ran. "I can manage this...Call if Rin wakes up?" He didnt wait for a reply and left the room with both of his children.

Once he got back to his house he breathed a sigh of relief. Sunny and Ran both fell asleep on the car ride back. He was kind of pleased how well behaved they were for being so young.

As quietly as he could he unlatched both of the twins carseats and carried them into the house. They were still asleep when he finally got them into the house. After locking the house he walked all of them upstairs into his bedroom. He needed a nap as much as them and didnt want them go be far from him so he put them both in bed and curled around them protectively.

He felt like he was only asleep for a couple of minutes before his phone went off. He trie to answer his phone quickly so the twins wouldnt wake. It was Izayoi.

"Yes?" Sesshomaru placed a hand on his forehead. "She's awake and she wants you..."

There was silence on the phone before Sesshomaru processed what was going on. "Can you come here and watch Sunny and Ran?" Izayoi agreed before hanging up.

It took her about 30 minutes to drive out to his house. She hesitantly knocked on the door. "I'm here..." She nervously called out. Sesshomaru opened the door and handed her a small list of things for her to watch out for.

"I am a mother Sesshomaru...Dont worry. Youre acting like a new parent!" Izayoi laughed and shoved Sesshomaru out of the house. "Go see her..."

Sesshomaru could feel his heart sinking. Did Rin really ask for him? He took the drive to collect himself. Anything could happen. He just didnt want to make their situation worse after all shes been through.

After he parked, Sesshomaru took his usual path towards the hospital room hes met up with his parents all day. Inutaisho was waiting for him. The look o his face was very concerning to Sesshomaru.

"Shes asking for you... But son... Take it easy..." Inutaisho put a hand on Sesshomarus shoulder. Sesshomaru was about to brush it off until Inutaisho tightened his grip.

"She doesnt remember Sunny or Ran..." Sesshomaru held back any expression even though he just wanted to react. His Rin doesnt remember their children?

"So what do I do? Where is she?" Sesshomaru was looking over his fathers shoulder to look for Rin. Inutaisho held his son back. He pointed his chin behind Sesshomaru. "Shes in that room...just dont overwhelm her son."

Sesshomaru turned away from his father and went towards Rins room. His hand shook as he reached for the door knob. This Rin he was about to see isnt the Rin he saw less than 24 hours ago.

He didnt bother knocking. He opened the door and waited to hear Rin scream at him to leave. It never happened. The second he walked in he saw her face light up.

"Sesshomaru! Where have you been?!" She almost jumped out of her bed to hug him but he got to her before and let her hold him while she was still in bed. Her giddiness almost convinced him that she was still in love with him.

"I got here as soon as I could Rin..." He was at a loss for words. He couldnt mention Ran or Sunny so he didnt know how to talk to her.
