A soft shuffling woke her from a dead sleep, and Kagome rolled over, quickly checking the monitor. Blinking away the bleariness, she frowned at the screen. An arm wrapped around her waist, stopping her from jumping out of bed. She nudged it out of the way, but Sesshoumaru held fast. "You are meant to be resting," he chastised.
She shook her head, then turned the monitor, pointing at the middle of the screen. "What on earth is that supposed to be?" she asked.
He hissed slightly at the bright light, pupils constricting in the darkness. "The twins' room, mate. We set up new beds earlier—"
"Not that," she whispered, pointing to the right bed. "That!"
He sighed, then sat up, taking the monitor from her. "I do not see an abnormality."
Kagome gave him a droll look. "You don't see the large blob in only one bed?" She pushed his arm out of the way, then padded down to the nursery, careful not to make as much noise as possible. The light wasn't on, so she knew they were asleep, and she poked her head into the room, heart clenching at the sight.
Riku had climbed into Sora's bed.
The twin boys had been inseparable since birth but had outgrown their crib, so the whole family went shopping over the weekend to get them separate beds.
Clearly, that had been a mistake.
"I will ask Inuyasha to reconstruct their beds," Sesshoumaru said from behind her, leaning against the doorframe.
"Are you sure?"
"They are holding hands, mate. They are not ready for their own sleeping space yet." She hummed in agreement as she covered the hand on her hip, intertwining their fingers as he led her back to their room.
"I just don't want them to start fighting," she admitted.
There was a soft snort as he closed the door behind them. "The only fight will stem from their sister having a smaller bed than them when construction is finished." He tucked her against his side, cocooning her into the warmth of his body.
"You get to deal with it, then," she said, knowing Mizuki would somehow convince her favourite uncle to build her an entirely new bed as well. She had her father's cunning streak and her mother's knack for politics, all combining into a pair of pleading green eyes that even Inuyasha couldn't resist.
"I will warn Inuyasha to bring extra lumber," Sesshoumaru murmured, reading her thoughts. Kagome twisted, checking the monitor one more time, a smile tilting her lips as she realized Sora was using Riku's leg as a pillow.
"Silly boys."
