"Speaking"

Thoughts

Sesshomaru pulled up outside of Rin's home, his demon excited to be spending time with their mate. However, on the outside Sesshomaru kept his cold and unapproachable look.

"Time to make a good impression." He said walking up to the door and ringing the bell.

Rin was in the parlor dressed and waiting with a cup of hot tea and a novel in her hands. Sesshomaru was pleased that she was ready to go on time, and she looked beautiful in her new dress with her hair in curls.

"You look lovely Rin." He said complementing her and at the same time dismissing the fact that her oddly nervous father was also in the room.

"I will have her back here no later than eleven." He said to the man he was pretty much convinced was as weak and useless as he'd always perceived humans to be.

Rin's father simply nodded and forced a smile as he watched his youngest child walk out the door. Please Kami let her have a nice time with him! The stressed man prayed silently. He tried not to think about the horrors that would befall the city should Rin become upset.

So far so good.

Rin had used her phone to ask Sesshomaru about his day, so he was explaining that to her. They hadn't had any problems ordering their food either; Rin had simply texted him and Sesshomaru had ordered for her.

Rin was very interested in learning about the demon she was marrying. She could tell he was the type to remain quiet and alone, but he was obviously putting forth the effort to make sure she was happy and comfortable. For that she smiled warmly at him, something only her mother ever got to see since she'd closed up within herself.

She was so cute and innocent, and that smile she'd just given him almost made him want to smile...almost.

It would take a lot more to get Sesshomaru to smile. But he was pleased that everything was going smoothly, but they still had to get through desert.

Kagome pushed frantically at the button to call a nurse to her room. Hopefully there was a doctor on hand still. Her water had just broken, she'd already sent a text to Izyoi, Inutashio, Sesshomaru, and her family. Somewhere in the back of her mind she was disappointed that Inuyasha wasn't there with her, this was after all the birth of their first born child; but he'd proven to her that he did not want to be apart of such a magical moment, nor did he wish to have a roll in the moments that would come after.

Izyoi didn't take long to reach Kagome's side since she'd been having a chat with the receptionist. She immediately took her place haolding Kagome's hand as she did her breathing. The nurse arrived shortly after.

"Everything's going to be okay Kagome, just keep breathing." Izyoi murmured consolingly.

Inutashio arrived five minutes later. As did Sesshomaru, who was accompanied by a shy yet eager Rin. Kagome's family arrived a little while after them.

AN: The baby is coming OMG!
