WARNING: MPREG AHEAD!

                InuYasha woke up bright and early, he stretched and grinned as he felt a little head nuzzle into his chest. He had, had another wonderful night with Zander. He had a new room in the family level of the palace. It was large with tall windows that let light pour in, in the mornings. Sesshomaru had let him choose out thick, red drapes that hung heavily over the windows off golden rods.
                He had a king-size bed with a plush scarlet comforter and soft white under blankets and sheets. His bed even had thin curtains he could pull around it for extra privacy in case the staff came in to clean while he was sleeping. Everything felt luxurious and he’d be lying if he wasn’t enjoying being able to curl up in a warm, soft bed every night. This was more than he’d ever dreamed of having and it almost made up for the way Sesshomaru used to treat him.
                Even better was that Zander also had moved back into the palace in the servant’s quarters. He came up most nights and crawled into his bed and this wasn’t a problem as long as he got up in time for work. They’d done little sleeping for the first half of the night the past night since today was Zander’s day off. They had planned to spend the day together, Zander planning some things for them to go do together.
                Zander stretched, pressing his body up against InuYasha, hands kneading against his abdomen in contentment as he started waking up, “Yasha.”
                “Mornin’,” InuYasha smiled, stroking his hair. The sun danced in just enough between the curtains that it dimly lit the room. Zander wiggled out of his place against InuYasha to look into his eyes and then purred, giving him a kiss.
                InuYasha grinned against his lips, he loved these mornings with his kitten too. Slow and lazy until he had to leave for work. Work that he would join him at as soon as he was done eating breakfast and his nieces and nephews released him. He loved his family, something that at first seemed so awkward and uneasy had become something that made his heart swell every day.
                Even seeing his brother every morning was becoming something he enjoyed. Sesshomaru always looked to him, raised his coffee mug to him as a good morning before listening to all his kids vie for his attention. This wasn’t his first taste of family, his first family had been his friends. However, this family was his blood and it felt so much better knowing the people that were supposed to love him, were now loving him with everything they had.
                Deep in his mind he wondered when it would fall apart but he did his best to shove it away. He wasn’t allowed to have something this good, he wasn’t allowed to be loved so completely and yet here he was. Zander broke him out of his thoughts, rubbing his ears tenderly, “You’re going to make us miss breakfast.”
                Zander giggled, a tinge of evil laced in it. InuYasha grinned, rolling so Zander was pinned under him, “You’re too big! You’re smushing me!”
                Cackles erupted out from under him as he pushed himself up on his elbows, alleviating the weight of his body from Zander, “You didn’t think so last night.”
                “Last night other parts of you were too big,” Zander giggled harder as his own face burned.
                “Well, if I’m smushing you, I might as well go get breakfast. Wouldn’t want to smush you more,” He smirked, rolling off his lover.
                “Noooo,” Zander whined, legs and arms wrapping around InuYasha causing him to roll with him, sitting on top of him as InuYasha stopped moving. His hands held Zander’s hips as he looked up to him with love.
                “No? Would you rather I smush you?” InuYasha grinned.
                “Are you going to smush me in the good way?” Zander’s bum squirmed against his groin.
                “Well, I’m pretty hungry,” he mused, his eyes rolling to the side as if thinking of actually leaving his bed before settling on his lover. The biggest pout he’d seen yet sat perfectly on his kitten’s face, his hands beginning to knead at his chest in a desperate attempt to keep him in bed.
                “Please?” He removed his hands from Inu’s chest, running them over his own chest and down to his own member. He showed him his arousal and blushed, as if InuYasha hadn’t already smelled it to know.
                “I suppose I could stay in bed,” He watched Zander’s hands, his own arousal twitching to life. He held his lover close.
                They spent the better part of an hour rolling around in Inu’s bed before Zander called down to the kitchens to have breakfast brought up. Inu went into his bathroom, dropping his protection into the trash. He looked to his fingers, noticing the small amount of cum on his fingers. While it hadn’t happened before, he was sure it was nothing to worry about considering he was removing a piece of plastic with claws at the end of his fingers. He washed himself with a wet rag and then his hands before going out into his room to pull some lounge pants on while they ate breakfast.
                After breakfast and showering, Zander was prepping to take InuYasha out into the city for their all day date. He helped him pick out a nice, comfortable outfit and was putting together a small bag of things they may need. He was doublechecking the bag now, whispering the list out loud and mentally checking each one off. A knock on the door made him jump and InuYasha smiled, petting his hair softly before going to the door.
                “His highness Sesshomaru requests his brother, Lord InuYasha to come to his office,” Inu scowled and Zander hurried to the door, pouting.
                “Did he say what for?” He held InuYasha around the waist, poking his head out around him. The servant currently at his door looked between them, smiling to Zander before shrugging.
                “It probably won’t take long, Zander. My brother hasn’t ever had the desire to talk to me that long,” Inu kissed the top of his head and stepped out of the room, removing himself from Zander’s hold. He left his pouting kitten in the doorway, following the page through the hallways to Sesshomaru’s office.
                In the office, Sesshomaru sat behind his desk. Helaku was standing to the side of the desk, lifting his chin to him in greeting. Inu mimicked the gesture, he liked the Commander. He stood on the other side of the office, leaning against the wall. Sesshomaru dismissed the servant before glancing to his future husband and his brother.
                “Can you both sit? You’re making me feel lazy,” Sesshomaru pointed at the two chairs in front of his desk. Helaku rolled his eyes with a smile and took a seat. InuYasha stayed against the wall, eyeing his brother.
                “One of us listened, now tell us why we’re here. I have actual things to do today, as much I’d love to sit in here with you all day,” Helaku stole his coffee cup, taking a drink. InuYasha smirked at the irritated look on his brother’s face. He had a feeling he and the Commander could get in a lot of trouble together if left too long in his brother’s presence. The Commander had his heart, he knew there wouldn’t be any bloodshed if they did get on his nerves.
                Sesshomaru looked to InuYasha hesitantly and then slowly laid out printed pictures on his desk. Empty buildings were a few and then bodies, lots of bodies, “This is the current situation in Hosiak. InuYasha, I want you to look at these. I have a bad feeling and I want to see if you see it too.”
                InuYasha came to the desk, looking the images over, “Why the hell do you think I’d know anything about this?”
                He stopped on one, picking it up, “Do you see something?”
                “Yura of the hair,” InuYasha shoved the image to Sesshomaru.
                Sesshomaru studied it before sighing, “Fuck. It’s happening. I was afraid of Naraku but what if it’s more than Naraku?”
                “That bastard?!” InuYasha slammed his fist against the desk, gritting his teeth. He knew his life had been too perfect, now the awful demon was here to take his kitten and all that made him happy away.
                “InuYasha, I want to put you in as my advisor. That allows you to be at every meeting regarding this so we can stay on top of it. We’ve beat him once, we can beat him again. It’s not just us this time,” Sesshomaru looked to him reassuringly.
                InuYasha nodded, finally taking a seat, “We’ll destroy him, we know how to do it now.”
                “I can get you an office or, well if you want we can turn my copier room into your office,” He pointed at the room with the office supplies.
                “Do I need an office?” InuYasha tilted his head.
                “I mean, people see it as like a symbol of power or something. You don’t necessarily need to have one but if you want to have privacy or store important documents it helps,” Helaku offered helpfully. InuYasha nodded and looked to the copier room before shrugging.
                “I’ll have it set up then,” Sesshomaru nodded. Inu stared at him, how he’d known what it meant was beyond him. The confusion caught his brother’s attention, “Despite all my best efforts when we were younger, you’re still my brother. I had to know your body language.”
                InuYasha gave a smile, “Huh? So are you saying you cared?”
                “InuYasha, I hated you,” he was blunt, making InuYasha frown, “but if anyone had hurt you that wasn’t me, it made me angry. I almost ripped Kouga to shreds one time when he started calling you a ‘flea bitten mutt’ in my presence. That was then though, you’re my blood. I know the importance of that now, and there is nothing I can do to make up for that.”
                “That’s not true. You gave me a home, I have Zander, I have all your kids. It’s kind of making up for it,” InuYasha felt emotional but scoffed to play it off. He wasn’t about to show Sesshomaru how he really felt. This became significantly harder when Sesshomaru grabbed his wrist and gave it the smallest squeeze.
                “I’m glad we can be your home now,” Sesshomaru nodded. Helaku was grinning as he looked between them.
                “Keh, stop. You’re making it weird,” InuYasha looked at Helaku.
                “Hey, I’m you’re family too! He’s not going to do this, so I’m gonna,” Helaku hugged InuYasha making him freeze.
                “Feh! I do not want this,” InuYasha tried to push him away. It was half-assed, he let Helaku hold him just a second longer before he let go, they were both laughing.
                “I’m your brother-in-law, better get used to it,” Helaku shrugged before looking at the clock on the wall, “I’m late babe, I’ll see you at tea?” He kissed Sesshomaru quickly and hustled from the room.
                “Babe?” InuYasha snickered.
                “I don’t know,” Sesshomaru shrugged, “That’s the first time he’s used it. My job as his mate is to keep him happy. It can’t be weirder than him calling me daddy to see how I’d react to it while we were in bed the other night.”
                “Daddy?” InuYasha quirked an eyebrow.
                “Tell Zander to try it, you’ll get it,” Sesshomaru nodded.
                “So you liked it then?” InuYasha shifted uncomfortably.
                “I’m just saying, try it one time. Before this conversation turns stranger, do you want to design your office or should I?” Sesshomaru grabbed a piece of paper and drew out a rough picture of the copy room.
                “You can just do that, I have plans with Zander,” InuYasha waved and started to leave.
                “Very well. I hope you both have a good day out,” Sesshomaru waved him away. InuYasha hustled back to his room and joined Zander for their date.
                Both men spent the day with Naraku and the threats of their younger days in the back of their minds. Past that, the day was pleasant. InuYasha and Zander had a nice day out on the town, spending most of their day at a park but they did some shopping to find things to decorate InuYasha’s room.
                Sesshomaru spent his day planning how to further protect his people. He deployed mages to the town to take care of Yura, knowing they’d be the most successful. He kept careful tabs on the operation and was pleasantly surprised to see the matter taken care of by the end of the day.
                The next morning found InuYasha waking up much in the same way except his kitten was staring at him, “Zander, what’s wrong?”
                “Something’s different,” Zander looked around sleepily. InuYasha became instantly panicked, holding him close to him as he looked around the room.
                “Different how? Are you okay? What are you feeling?” Zander tried to push away, beginning to feel suffocated as his lover became unnecessarily protective of him.
                “I just feel weird, calm down. Probably an upset tummy,” he stretched, pulled into InuYasha’s lap as he sat up, still glowering around his room. He listened for that stupid laugh, the miasma, anything.
                “I would feel better if we have you looked at immediately,” InuYasha looked to him. He didn’t know how he’d have him looked over to determine if Naraku was about to fuck this up just like he did Kikyo.
                “Yasha, I’m fine. Really!” Zander continued to try to get away. InuYasha didn’t relent, he got up with him in his arms. They were in sleep pants and he decided this was appropriate as he hauled Zander to Sesshomaru’s room.
                Zander continued to protest, giving up halfway down the hall before just sitting with a stubborn pout on his face. He rolled his eyes as one of he guards laughed at them behind his hand, InuYasha shooting him a dirty look. At the door to the west wing, InuYasha gave a panicked rap on the door, “Oy! Sesshomaru! Open up!”
                There was a grunt inside the room with a long whimper. The scent of the lovers wafted under the door as slippered feet shuffled across the stone floor. The door cracked open and his brother’s neutral face appeared with enough grump in his eyes to show he wasn’t happy to be answering his door. “InuYasha? Zander?”
                “Zander feels weird, how do we make sure it’s not Naraku?” InuYasha all but thrust the little cat towards him, the door swinging open further. Sesshomaru’s eyes bulged slightly as the door was shoved to show him in pajama pants with his shirt peeled wide open. Zander’s face turned red as his eyes landed on the firm muscles of the emperor’s chest and abdomen.
                “My emperor! I’m so sorry! I told him I’m fine!” Zander scrambled to try and cover his embarrassment.
                “It’s…..fine.” Sesshomaru motioned them to come in. Helaku looked to them from the bed, the blanket down around his waist showing his bare chest as well. His hair created a fiery halo around his head on the pillow and Sesshomaru’s eyes lingered on him a second before motioning him to put Zander on the sofa. He left the room once Zander was down on the sofa and InuYasha watched him in a panicked confusion until he disappeared down the hall.
                Akiko came to the room first, Sesshomaru a few steps behind her. He pointed at Zander and she walked over and stared at him with a silent anger in her eyes that rivaled her father’s. Zander swallowed hard, wanting to tell her he knew InuYasha was overreacting but he had a feeling she already knew. She rolled her eyes as his ears folded back and pulled her jet black sleeping robe tighter around her body. She rubbed her hands together a moment, lips moving but no noise coming out before she looked at him again, “I’m going to touch you.”
                Zander nodded and watched her as she gently placed her hands on his shoulders, this time mumbling words he couldn’t understand and honestly could barely register. He looked at InuYasha, his hanyou looking terrified at what was unfolding before him. He figured he could deal with this if it meant his worry would dissipate.
                Akiko held still a long time, chanting the words over and over again before she slowly removed her hands. She huffed, “No enchantment. Not even something remotely worth waking me up from my beauty sleep.”
                “We appreciate you checking for us, your uncle was very worried,” Sesshomaru put his arm around her shoulders in a small embrace.
                “Mmf, Daddy, can I go back to bed now?” Akiko yawned almost dramatically, her head falling to Sesshomaru’s chest.
                “Yes, Akiko, thank you,” Sesshomaru kissed her temple and sent her on her way.
                “Oh? Zander?” She lingered in the doorway, looking down to her perfectly manicured toes with neon green polish on them.
                “Yes?” Zander was getting off the sofa.
                “Congratulations,” She looked to him pointedly and rested a hand on her stomach.
                Zander’s face paled, InuYasha’s face turning to panic again, “I’m not sure I understand, Princess Akiko.”
                “Dad said you had a weird feeling, you’re with child,” Akiko stretched her arms and walked away casually.
                “We’re… puppies?” InuYasha blinked rapidly while Zander plopped back down on the couch.
                Sesshomaru quietly shut his door, holding in all his amusement at his brother. Helaku on the other hand bust out laughing from their bed. Zander’s voice halted all noise in the room, “No! What am I going to tell Akimi?”
                “Zander, she is your sister. You tell her she’s an aunt and she will still love you. InuYasha still loves you. We still love you. Everything will be just fine,” Sesshomaru crossed his arms over his chest, concerned gaze falling on him.
                “We used protection! I made him wear condoms! I don’t understand!” Zander wailed, covering his face.
                “Yeah, they aren’t effective all the time. Did you make sure he put them on right?” Helaku offered unhelpfully from the bed. InuYasha’s face was turning red at the conversation but his eyes remained fixed in awe at Zander.
                “Yes I made sure they were put on right,” Zander hissed to Helaku. The room fell quiet again, no one sure how to console the poor man. InuYasha tried first, slowly sitting next to Zander and pulling him tight against him. He placed a gentle kiss to his head before gently stroking the hair along the back of his head.
                “I’m sorry, I noticed yesterday that some uh… mess got on my fingers when I took the thing off but I just thought I broke it taking it off. It didn’t look broke,” InuYasha finally quietly mumbled against his temple. Zander bristled a little and realized he couldn’t blame him, neither of them had noticed any leaks or tears at the end of their coupling, it had to have been the smallest amount.
                “I’m just in shock, I’ll be okay,” he sighed and glanced around the room, “We should go back to our room. We’re intruding.”
                “Yer fine,” Helaku interjected from the bed. He itched his stomach lazily, his chiseled body on display without a care. Sesshomaru’s eyes lingered where his fingers itched his stomach before he looked to his brother and his lover, nodding in solidarity with his mate.
                “Well, I think we interrupted. The least we can do is leave,” Zander got up slowly, taking InuYasha’s hand to pull him to the door.
                “You interrupted us sleeping, all the interesting stuff happened last night,” Helaku smirked. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes.
                “He is correct, we were asleep,” Sesshomaru stated quietly. Zander eyed his open shirt suspiciously and Sesshomaru glanced at his own body before beginning to button said shirt with a slight pink tainting his cheeks.
                “Zander, we’re serious. I yanked it open because I wanted to feel his skin this morning. He almost kicked me out of bed because he’s grumpy when you wake him up, and then threatened to go sleep on the sofa when I kept touching him. That was like a solid 2 hours ago,” Helaku smiled to the cat, trying to reassure him.
                “He’s just grumpy period,” InuYasha added, the brothers managing to roll their eyes at the same time making their lovers laugh at them.           InuYasha finally led Zander out, Sesshomaru looking at the time before sighing.
                “Get up, Foxx. It’s time to get ready for breakfast. I already missed my gym time,” He headed for the bathroom, worrying about his favorite little cat demon. Helaku hustled out of the bed, running and grabbing Sesshomaru from behind as he started peeling his clothes off.
                “Can you hear it?” Helaku grinned, pressing kisses to the back of Sesshomaru’s shoulders.
                “Hear what?” Sesshomaru quirked an eyebrow, looking at him. He wasn’t in the mood, but he knew Helaku always knew how to talk him into it. He hoped this wasn’t one of those mornings as they were already running late for breakfast.
                Helaku pressed his body against his back and Sesshomaru stood still, listening intently. Then he felt it, Helaku’s little beast whining ‘why does he get pups? I wanted pups. It’s not fair.’
                “Helaku,” Sesshomaru turned and brushed his cheeks tenderly, “Those are your hormones, listen to your brain. Go spend half the day with Benji and Braydon, that feeling will go away.”
                He kissed Helaku’s forehead and then untangled himself from Helaku’s hold, finishing undressing to get in the shower. Helaku outwardly whined making his skin prickle with the need to comfort him, he glanced over his shoulder to see if he needed him and he felt his fox perk up, hopeful he’d indulge him. Sesshomaru continued into the shower, instant pouting transferred between them.
                It disappeared suspiciously and he narrowed his eyes at the frosted glass door of his shower. His body tensed and he moved to the back of the shower as if expecting an attack. Nothing came close to the shower door for a moment so he returned back under the water, tilting his head back into the spray and closing his eyes as he massaged his scalp to dampen his hair.
                He growled in warning as he heard the door to the shower finally swing open and before he could open his eyes he felt Helaku’s calloused hands hold his hips, “Pleeease?”
                “Helaku,” His eyes held the weight of putting his foot down making an even heavier pout form on his face and added pressure through their mating mark. His beast barked back too, letting him know he needed to back down, he’d already said no. He could feel his mate’s beast do the equivalent of turning on its belly and Helaku’s eyes widened a little, moving closer and tucking his head under his chin.
                Sesshomaru huffed with irritation, stroking his hair gently. There was a whimper and he felt worse but he held his ground, letting him go to finish his shower. Helaku sighed, eyes downcast as he washed with him. They got out together and Sesshomaru glanced to the side, giving him a nice long look. Helaku looking dejected.
                “Little Fox, in due time. We don’t need to rush this, we’ve not even had our wedding yet,” He pulled him in by the back of his neck.
                “My body just wants it right now,” he whimpered as his forehead pressed against Sesshomaru’s, hands sliding along his shoulders.
                Sesshomaru kissed him slow and lazy, his other hand wrapping around his waist to hold him, “If we have little ones, we can’t lay in bed like we like to. There will be little ones in our bed when there’s a storm or they have a bad dream. Not to mention you just went through the change, all those hormones are swirling around. I’d be more confident it’s what you want if we waited until it’s not so new to you.”
                Helaku let out a little dejected hum and sighed as Sesshomaru pulled away from, going to the closet to change, “But Sesshy.”
                Sesshomaru froze, his head swiveling quickly to look at him again. Helaku grinned and snickered at the obvious distaste of the nickname. There was an unspoken warning before he proceeded to the closet to dress himself. As soon as Helaku was also dressed they went to breakfast, Sesshomaru holding his hand to reassure him despite rejecting his request.
                Zander called in sick for the day and Sesshomaru smiled warmly to him when they joined the family at breakfast. InuYasha was gushing over him, still in shock but obvious excitement as he sat close to his kitten. Zander normally didn’t sit at the table with them, even on days off. He was uncomfortable with his co-workers serving him but he thanked them graciously as they brought breakfast out to him. InuYasha had talked him into eating with him this morning and he really didn’t want to be left without his lover.
                Helaku continued to look at him with envy, making the cat squirm worse. Sesshomaru nudged him several times throughout breakfast to break his gaze from the poor man. His beast continued to plead with Sesshomaru’s, hoping to wear him down to the point of breeding him. His whole body screamed for it. He knew he was driving Sesshomaru insane and it was only a matter of time before he either got his way like a brat or his lover would lose his temper.
                “Shikamaru, why don’t you let Helaku watch the boys today? I think he’d enjoy that,” Sesshomaru finally broke, his words barely pleasant due to the onslaught of pleading silently beating against his brain.
                “Doesn’t he have meetings?” Shikamaru stared at them both like they had two heads.
                “They’ll be fine. Nothing they can’t hear,” Sesshomaru looked to Helaku with the slightest glare. Helaku started to protest but Sesshomaru did not let him.
                “Okay…? That’s fine, sure I guess. Boys, you wanna spend the day with Grandpa Helaku?” Shika nodded slowly and looked to his twin toddlers.
                “Grandpa Helly!” Benji cheered, clapping his syrupy hands with a grin. Helaku looked to him, his heart melting at ‘grandpa’ and then hesitant as he saw the sticky fingers pick up another piece of soaked pancake.
                “I want to play ball,” Braydon pouted to his mother.0
                “Maybe Grandpa Helly will play ball with you,” Shika looked to Helaku cautiously. Helaku nodded, grinning.
                “Mama,” Braydon whined, reaching for Shika as he looked at Helaku.
                “You can spend one day without me, you’ll be fine little monster,” Sesshomaru kissed his hands and then his head. Helaku looked at Sesshomaru with even more need and the smallest rumble came from his throat in irritation.
                Braydon looked at Helaku with his brow furrowed, trying to cling to his mama in defiance, “I don’t want to play ball with Grandpa Helly, mama.”
                Shika sighed as he tangled his hands into his mama’s silver strands of hair and then gently pulled him close, whispering quietly to him. Braydon’s face contorted into the beginning of sobs and Shika stroked his back soothingly, mumbling softly to him until he hiccupped with a few tears running down his cheeks. He nodded slowly, wiping at his eyes with tiny fists before looking at Helaku in surrender.
                ‘That could be our little pup. Looking just like his sire with sweet big eyes,’ Helaku’s beast crooned with a pinch of heartache. Sesshomaru sat his coffee down slowly and then stood and left the table abruptly. He left Helaku at the head of the table, eyes sad as he rested his head in his hand. He tilted his head towards the twins and then replaced the look with a smile. All eyes around the table were on him and he felt his cheeks start to flush before he excused himself as well, “You can bring the boys to my office when they’re ready. We’ll have fun today!”
                The twins joined him in his office about an hour after he left the dining room. They were dressed in identical outfits, little khaki shorts with navy t-shirts with one of their favorite cartoon characters on them. They wore little sandals, Helaku noting that Benji’s sandals were pink jelly sandals while Braydon wore brown sandals that matched the style. He looked at Shika who was just looking at his sweet boys in adoration, handing them each a backpack with toys and snacks to keep them busy, “Be extra good! Grandpa Helly puts hooligans in military jail for a living.”
                Benji’s eyes got wide, looking at Helaku in terror. Braydon’s face showed defiance again as he looked at him and then back at Shika, “Nuh-uh! You’re just trying to scare me!”
                “He’s the Commander, I promise you I’m not lying. Be naughty and find out,” He booped Braydon’s nose whose gaze didn’t change. He looked at Helaku and winked.
                “I am sure they’ll be fine. Got a couple extra cells if they get rowdy,” he jingled his keys on his belt. Braydon’s expression changed immediately to confusion, trying to judge if this was still part of the ruse.
                Shika laughed, tussling his hair lovingly before shifting his full attention to Helaku, “Nap at 11 or you’ll regret your life choices. Benji sometimes still has a-c-c-i-d-e-n-t-s, he has some extra pants in his backpack if he needs them. Juice boxes, healthy snacks, tablets and toys are also available. They can have 45 minutes of screen time this morning and 45 minutes after lunch. If they don’t use it in the morning, I usually let them have double in the afternoon.”
                Shika mentally double checked he’d given all the information, using his fingers to keep track of what he’d said. The boys dug in their backpacks and started pulling toys out, setting up shop in the middle of his office. Shika nodded and looked to Helaku, “If I need anything I’ll call. Your dad wants me to spend time with them to talk me out of baby fever.”
                Helaku rubbed his neck embarrassed. Shika looked surprised then laughed, “Is that why he just up and left this morning?”
                “It is, I kept harassing him and I think he’s mad. He’ll get over it though, he marked me, not like he can go on ignoring me for the rest of my life,” Helaku smirked as he lowered himself down to sit on the floor.
                Shika nodded and leaned down, kissing the top of both of their heads, “Alright monsters, I’m going to be working upstairs. Come get me if you need me.”
                Benji beamed, holding a barbie in his hand as he waved goodbye to his mama. Braydon pouted, watching him leave with uncertainty before looking at Helaku as he held his monster truck to his chest. Helaku grinned and plucked a toy from the pile to play with them. In minute they had a toddler soap opera: Barbie had unrequited love with the monster truck and Helaku wasn’t sure if his action figure was the dog or their kid as it had been made very unclear.
                He enjoyed his time with the boys, even with their occasional fights. He used his negotiating skills to barter with them, trading toys for other toys or one of the snacks in his desk. At 11 he took them to his and Sesshomaru’s room for their nap, he carried one boy in each arm with their backpacks on his back. He was surprised to see Sesshomaru coming out of the home gym in only his workout shorts, two sleepy princes looking at him as their cheeks sat against his shoulders.
                “Grandpa,” Braydon whined reaching for him. Sesshomaru used a towel to quickly wipe any sweat from his body before he walked over and whisked his grandson away from his lover. He held him, letting his head fall to his chest with a yawn.
                “What’s wrong baby boy?” Sesshomaru quietly spoke to him, gently rocking him and patting his back.
                “I don’t wanna nap,” he pushed his head away from Sesshomaru’s chest and looked up at him, his eyes almost falling shut despite his protest.
                “Yeah? What if I take a nap with you? Will you take a nap with grandpa?” He walked gracefully to the bed, nuzzling his nose down into Braydon’s hair and kissing him on top of his head. Braydon didn’t resist as he laid him in the middle of the bed, laying on his side next to him. He pulled a blanket up tucking him in and let Braydon curl up close to him.
                Sesshomaru looked at Helaku, motioning him to bring Benji over. Benji was already out like a light, his hands balled into the folds of Helaku’s uniform jacket. Little snores came out from him and he cried as he was set down before his little arms found Braydon and he snuggled up with his brother falling right back asleep. Helaku watched Sesshomaru intently, his beast bubbling with a new desire for him to sire children with him.
                This had the opposite effect Sesshomaru was hoping for. Seeing him take his phone and work from the bed on what he could as Braydon wrapped little fingers in his hair to make sure he wouldn’t leave him. He fell asleep, long silver strands held in his fist, brow furrowed in agitation, his snores joining his brother’s. Sesshomaru’s eyes shifted to Helaku after a moment, realizing he had just lost his own challenge. He rolled his eyes, gently freeing his hair from Braydon’s grasp and then slowly got up so he wouldn’t feel the sudden absence of the dip in the mattress.
                “Not a word,” Sesshomaru whispered angrily as he brushed past to go into the bathroom.
                Helaku followed like an excited puppy, gushing once they were in the safety of the bathroom, “But you are such a good daddy. If you could just see you with those two babies out there.”
                “I know how I am with babies, I’ve had a lot of practice,” Sesshomaru stated dryly. His lips were pursed into a straight line, eyes getting more agitated by the second.
                “My ovaries are exploding, Sesshomaru! Ever since this voice started in my head and you asked me to submit it has been all my brain thinks about! Just one little pup, please! I look at you and I just see my strong, handsome mate who should be dying to fill my body with his little ones. It is unbearable,” Helaku spoke so quietly and so quickly Sesshomaru was even more agitated he had to focus on the words to hear him just to make sure it wasn’t important information.
                “And when I look at you right now I see my strong, handsome mate who is jealous there is another pregnant man in this palace because it is not his womb that is housing a pup. I am not creating a pup because your beast is jealous it is not your pup,” Sesshomaru huffed, making Helaku’s eyes shift downwards.
                When he looked back up tears had housed in the corners of his eyes and Sesshomaru had to stay himself to not comfort him. Helaku could feel him fight his beast as it tried to convince him to go to him, hold him, love him until his body ached and his stomach was heavy with child. His fingers twitched, his eyes reflecting a silent war within himself before he slowly turned away from Helaku, removing his shorts. For a second he dared to hope and then Sesshomaru stepped into the shower to wash away the musk from his work out. Helaku stared at the door for a moment before leaving the bathroom. He sat on the bed and watched the twins sleeping, his whole body aching at the feeling of loss for something he didn’t even have.
                It took five minutes before Sesshomaru stood in the doorway, wet and with a hand towel covering his nether regions, “fucking, get in here before my mind changes.”
                Helaku looked to him in shock then motioned towards the twins. Sesshomaru shrugged and then moved the towel to tap on his opposite wrist indicating to hurry. Helaku bit his lip, looking at his love’s half hard manhood before looking to the twins again and slowly getting off the bed, hustling into the bathroom. Sesshomaru shut the door quietly before pushing him feverishly against the tiled wall, he didn’t dare question what changed the man’s mind.
                “You certainly didn’t have a problem with the boys being here 5 minutes ago,” Sesshomaru whispered, pulling at his uniform. His hands were quick, unbuttoning and unclasping in record time.
                “I wasn’t asking you to love me right now, I was asking you to give me a child sometime soon,” Helaku whined softly. Sesshomaru dropped his jacket to the floor and looked to him, his hands pausing. Helaku was quick to grip his shoulders, kissing him and grinding against him to avoid him changing his mind. Sesshomaru’s hands resumed pulling his undershirt over his head.
                “I saw you looking at me when I took my shorts off,” he mumbled near Helaku’s ear, kissing the shell of it before pulling away looking to him, “This is very serious, I don’t want you to regret it or think I forced you, or feel burdened once we do this. I want you to honestly want this. It will change everything, Helaku, until that babe is old enough to take care of itself and even then, as you can see, it doesn’t stop being yours.”
                Helaku mulled the thought around in his mind, nodding as he let Sesshomaru’s words sink in. His love’s fingers ran soft circles over his hip bones as they stood, looking to each other, “I never thought I’d be the one to say this, but I have wanted you to put a baby in me for months, Sesshomaru. Now I have the proper equipment so can you please accept that I have given this so much thought?”
                “What if we go to war? What do we risk?” Sesshomaru said it softly, as if all his worries were suddenly slamming back into him.
                “Sesshomaru, you called me in here because you changed your mind, please don’t tease me like this!” Helaku was desperate, both hands cupping his face.
                “I called you in here because you were so sad,” Sesshomaru mumbled, looking deeply into his eyes before kissing him, “get your pants off and get in the shower.”
                Helaku did not hesitate, rushing his pants off before going to the shower. Sesshomaru started the shower back up, getting it nice and steamy before looking at Helaku. He thought for a moment before cupping his face as gentle as possible, pressing feather light kisses over his cheeks and nose before kissing him deeply on the lips. Helaku smiled, giving a soft groan of approval at his tenderness.
                “This will be the first little beast I make intentionally, I might as well make sure it is made in love,” Sesshomaru chuckled quietly. He paused, listening intently for a moment, making sure the boys weren’t stirring in the bedroom before he groped Helaku, feeling his body up as if it were an old map he’d studied many times before.
                Helaku beamed, he got one of Sesshomaru’s firsts after all. He’d be honest and admit he had thought Akiko and Keiko had been joking about being accidents but thought it hilarious in this moment that they had not been lying. He moaned as Sesshomaru’s hands travelled up his thighs, “Remember, the twins are demanding girls.”
                Sesshomaru looked to his eyes, shaking his head gently, “You get what you get, lover. We don’t have a ton of time for me to pamper you. You good if we just get down to it?”
                Helaku nodded and moaned wantonly as Sesshomaru stroked him to get him into the mood. Sesshomaru shot him a warning look and he chewed his lip. He moved away, going to the sink and digging in a drawer before he came back with lube. He was quick to get back into the shower, stretching him just as fast. He took another pause, listening for the sounds of toddlers before he helped Helaku get his legs around his waist.
                “Be very quiet or we’re going to have visitors. Steam and frosted glass is only going to prevent half their questions,” Sesshomaru looked to him pointedly as he pushed into him. Helaku tossed his head back against the tiles, sucking his cheeks in to prevent the noise that threatened to rip out of his throat as he was filled.
                Sesshomaru rolled his hips up into him in a steady rhythm, Helaku grasping at his shoulders, claws ripping at his back. They moved together, their eyes locking into each other as their chests heaved. The steam danced around them, any loud noises immediately being covered by lips and sucked into their mouths. They reached their peaks together, Sesshomaru burying his nose against Helaku’s shoulder, nipping at his mate mark to cover his moans. Helaku held him tighter, biting his lip to prevent his own noises. He felt Sesshomaru’s hips continue to roll into him harder, his angle changing just a little as his beast took over, trying to work every drop of his seed up into Helaku.
                Helaku looked to him adoringly as they came down, Sesshomaru pressing little kisses to his mouth as he kept Helaku locked around his waist. Once he softened he lowered him to the floor he pulled out, lowering Helaku to the ground. He kissed him again and then washed up, hurrying his shower up so he could get back to Braydon on the bed before he woke up.
                They left the shower, Sesshomaru looking to Helaku, “Keep track of how you’re feeling and your smell. Should know tomorrow morning. We can go again tonight if you want to increase the chances.”
                Helaku smiled to him, leaning and kissing him, “I love you so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
                “I love you too, little fox. Better make sure it’s a girl in there,” Sesshomaru rubbed his stomach, “Don’t want my daughters to maul you.”
                Helaku laughed as he was slapped on the butt, watching Sesshomaru retreat to his closet. He turned his head, watching Braydon climb down off the bed and pad towards the closet, scrubbing his face with the palms of his hands, “Grandpa!”
                He listened, Sesshomaru tripping over something in his closet most likely trying to hide his unmentionables based on the timing of the events. He could imagine Sesshomaru had already shed his towel and was pulling out a pair of boxers, “Yes Braydon?”
                “You left!” The anger was very apparent, Braydon stomping his feet. Helaku peeked around the corner of the doorframe, looking at his little balled up fists at his sides.
                “I smelled bad, I didn’t want to make you smell me while you napped,” Sesshomaru kept a calm voice, finally moving in the closet.
                “Why are you nakey?” Braydon demanded, drunk on sleep.
                “I took a shower. Calm down, Braydon. Give me just a second to get dressed, okay? I’ll come right back over,” He dressed himself in a clean pair of workout shorts, leaving himself shirtless as he came back out and scooped the toddler from the floor. Braydon frowned, almost looking like he might be debating fighting him before Sesshomaru plopped him back on the bed, crawling back into place next to him. Braydon wrapped his fingers into the wet strands of hair as if it was a leash and snuggled back down onto the bed.
                Helaku came out after a moment, going into the closet to dress himself as well. He put on new underwear and went back to the bathroom to throw his uniform back on. He looked at the boys with Sesshomaru on the bed and gently rubbed his stomach, his eyes landing on Sesshomaru.
                “Can you bring the boys back when nap time is over? I am pretty sure I have a meeting soon or I’m late for it,” He left once Sess nodded.
