Inutaisho watched them intently. They were arguing like a new couple. How could Rin forget so much so fast? His eyes widened when he saw his son grab Rin by the wrists.
"If im lying then why are you wearing this?" He pointed out the wedding ring she still wore. Rin pulled her hand back away from him. "Then what happened to us if were getting divorced? What did I do?" He could see Rin shaking in anticipation of the answer.
"You didnt do anything Rin. It was-" Sesshomaru was cut off with Izayoi coming into the hospital room with the twins. Sunny was already in tears and Izayoi looked 10 years older from the stress.
"I can't believe you let Rin do this all by herself!" Inutaisho picked up Sunny from the stroller and gently patted her head. Sesshomaru noted Rans eyes on his mother. His eyes wide and excited to be close to his mom again. All eyes were on Rin for her reaction. She didnt seem excited to see her children.
She watched as Inutaisho walked up to her with Sunny. Both of their chocolate eyes met for what seemed like the first time for Rin. Sunny reached both hands out toward her. Her little cheeks still puffy from crying.
"Whos this?" Rin asked no one in particular as she took Sunny from Inutaisho.
"That one is Daddys Girl Sunny." Her father in law said with a grin. "So the one in the stroller is Ran?" She looked over to the amber eyed child whos gaze was still locked on her.
"That one is your biggest fan." Izayoi picked up ran and walked over to her. "These are yours and Sesshomarus twins." Ran almost jumped out of Izayois hold trying to get closer to Rin. Sesshomaru was eyeing her closely to catch Ran if he did fall out of his stepmothers arms.
Rin adjusted Sunny into one arms and held out the other for Ran. She kept making small notes in her mind. Ran had her black hair but Sesshomarus eyes. Sunny had her eyes but Sesshomarus hair. Both had one magenta stripe on each cheak and looked more like Sesshomaru than her but she could see herself in them too.
"When did we have them?" Rin looked overwhelmed with two babies in her arms.
"A few months back...It was a long labor...We had them at this hospital actually..." Sesshomaru sat on Rins bed and reached for Sunny who gladly crawled into his arms.
Rin stared at them and how natural he looked as a father. "So why are we getting divorced?"
Sesshomaru fell silent. Izayoi and Inutaisho left the room as soon as they felt the awkward conversation about to start.
past:
A couple of days had passed and the little family were cleared to go home. A nurse pushed Rin out in a wheel chair and Sesshomaru pushed the twins out in a double seated stroller. Both were fast asleep which gave Rin and Sesshomaru some silence.
Learning to be parents was hard enough without his dad and stepmom around trying to give him tips. Izayoi visited everyday to just look at the young ones sleep. She expressed how she would always be there to babysit if they needed a minute to themselves.
Rin just giggled and let her enjoy the time she had with the kids. They cried when neither of them were being held and that hurt Rins heart. They were definitely going to be spoiled.
"Were going to be fine Izayoi! Everything is perfect now! They made it here safely and will have the toughest father around!" Rin looked down at her daughter. Now if she could just get Sunny to breast feed, they could all sleep better at night.
"We did it Sesshomaru!" Rin yawned in the car as he drove them to their house. Sesshomaru nodded and kept his eyes on the road. "I think you did most of it Rin." She just grinned at him. She knew better than to argue with a sleep deprived husband.
The two sleeping children were quiet up until they reached the driveway. Sesshomaru arched an eyebrow at the two kids. He had to admit the last few days were terrifying. He knew his life would be changed forever and he knew he would love him but his mind went back to how their first son would be a couple of months old right now.
He felt guilty for even thinking that so he unlatched their carseats and carried them both to the door while Rin fished for her keys in her purse. "Im so scatter brained right now! I know theyre in one of these pockets..." Her eyes widened as she pulled out her set. "Success!" After unlocking the door and setting down her purse she plopped onto their couch. She watched as her husband, tiredly, carried the kids and placed them in front of her.
"Im pouring a drink and taking a quick nap. If anything happens just wake me up."
He kissed Rin on her forehead and headed to the kitchen. Rin pouted but dropped the attitude when she heard one of the babies cooing at her. It was Ran. He smiled at her for the first time since they were born. They had their fathers personality she thought at first. Then over the course of Sesshomarus nap she realized they had more expression than him.
She let both of them hold onto her fingers with their tiny hands. Sunny kept looking around for who she assumed was her father. Her eyes held so much worry that he wasnt near. "So i'm going to assume daddys your favorite." Rin playfully pouted then looked at Ran in his carseat. "So can mommy be your favorite?" She giggled to herself and watched their confused expressions.
"Ill go make you two some milk." At the hospital the twins wouldnt drink from her directly so her doctor suggested a pump because if she didnt feed her breasts would be fuller and more sore. Defeated she reluctantly gave up and sent Sesshomaru to get one for them.
