InuYasha bit back a groan as pain stabbed through his stomach, again. Well, not quite his stomach. It was somehow…deeper. He was lying naked on his bed, trying to battle down the pain. It’s happening…Kami, it’s happening. I need…I need Sesshoumaru…was the only thing his pain-fogged brain would process.
“Sessh,” he whispered, even though his brother wasn’t even in the room. “Agh!” His mate came running into the room.
“InuYasha!” he gasped. “What’s wrong? You-!”
“Stop shouting…just…shut the door,” the Hanyou cut him off. He rolled so he was kneeling on the bed. “Now…come here.” Sesshoumaru obeyed, laying his hand on the younger’s back and rubbing gently.
“Does it hurt?”
“Yeah.”
“A lot?”
“How did you – agh – know to come?”
“I just…I sensed something…My Youkai needed to be with you…right now.”
“Figures.” InuYasha exhaled deeply, willing away the pain.
“…How long is it…between contractions?”
“Shh…don’t – ungh – worry about that.”
“…I’m going to get Takeo.”
“Sessh, if you leave this room, right now, I swear you will never see your pup!” InuYasha growled. Sesshoumaru sighed.
“But-!”
“No, Ru…I…I don’t want Takeo here for this. He’s talked us through this a million and one times. I want it to be just…” he paused to whimper in pain. “Just me and you.”
“Yasha, think about this. I don’t want anything…bad…to happen. I want this to go smoothly, and our best chance for that is-”
“I said no, Sessh. This pup is coming out of me, so I think this should be my decision. And like I said…you leave this room…and I swear you won’t ever see your pup.” Sesshoumaru forcefully fought down the swell of panic rising in his chest. How is he so calm, right now? He wondered.
“Okay,” he replied softly, settling down next to his brother. This was nothing like what he’d imagined the birthing would be like, when it finally came. He imagined Takeo there, helping, talking them both through it, again. He imagined that the healer would have everything under control, but now…now it was up to him. He rubbed the small of his mate’s back, trying to ease out the tension. InuYasha whined softly as another contraction seized his body. “I’m right here,” Sesshoumaru whispered. “It’s going to be okay. In a minute, you’re going to push…”
“I know what I’m going to do!” InuYasha snapped, though his voice was too quiet to be truly angry. “It’s inside of me, Sessh, I think I know what it wants me to do!” His voice cut off abruptly as he bit back a groan of pain. Tears sprung to the Hanyou’s eyes and slipped down his cheeks. “Kami…what does this have to hurt…so much?” Sesshoumaru continued to rub his back and murmur soothingly. Would he have given birth on his own, if I hadn’t known to come? He mused. The mere idea of it unsettled him. He had no doubts that if necessary, his mate could give birth alone, but that didn’t mean he was comfortable with that happening. InuYasha bit his lip in agony, curling his hands into the sheets, and pushed.
About an hour and a good deal of blood and pain later, Sesshoumaru was curled up next to his mate with their pup in between them. The baby was pale skinned with silver hair, just like her parents. Out of her head poked two, white, furry dog-like ears. Her eyes wouldn’t open for another week, but now that she’d stopped crying, her ears were swiveling rapidly, trying to catch every, little sound. The demon lord smiled lovingly at the two most precious people in his life. He had half expected his brother to spend the entire birthing swearing like a sailor, but the Hanyou had actually been almost silent except a few moans and choked whimpers. Sesshoumaru had cleaned her off, wrapped her in a blanket, and crawled into bed with his younger brother, nestling the pup in InuYasha’s arms. The younger brother now looked a little pale and worn out, breathing hard, his eyes half-closed.
“She’s perfect,” he whispered. Those tiny, white ears turned, listening intently.
“She is,” Sesshoumaru agreed. “I’m so proud of you.” He nuzzled his mate’s cheek. InuYasha smiled sleepily.
“What should we name her? I kind of liked Tsukiko…it’s one Takeo came up with.”
“Tsukiko…that’s nice.” The baby whined, hands reaching to curl into a strand of Sesshoumaru’s hair, tugging on it softly. InuYasha turned her head to guide her to his nipple, where she latched on and began to suck. His breasts were swollen a little, not as much as a woman’s, but they did store milk for their puppy. When he first learned about that, he’d been nothing less than mortified, but he seemed to have come to terms with it, now.
“Good girl, Tsukiko,” he murmured. Suddenly, the door flew open and Takeo came running in. He took one look at the scene and let out a deep sigh.
“You should have told me!” he hissed furiously. “What were you thinking, doing the birthing on your own?!”
“Don’t look at me,” Sesshoumaru replied. “InuYasha threatened me with the loss of my pup if I stepped away from him for even a second.”
“Look, Takeo. Everything was okay in the end, so…”
“Let me ascertain that for sure, please?” the healer requested. “That was extremely dangerous, InuYasha. Why…why would you do that?”
“I just wanted it to be…just us…I can’t explain it. Anyways, is she fine?” Takeo ran his hands lightly over both the Hanyou and pup before exhaling deeply and nodding.
“You’re both fine. Congratulations, My Lords, you are now parents of a beautiful, healthy, baby girl. I cannot check her eyes, of course, until she opens them, but for now, everything looks good. Have you decided what to name her?”
“Tsukiko,” InuYasha replied.
“Tsukiko…a beautiful name.” Takeo bowed. “Rest well, My Lords.” Then he walked off. Once outside the room, he shut the door softly and sagged against the wall. Having never had any children of his own, he’d always seen it as his personal duty that the InuYoukai lords he’d served delivered safely and successfully. This birthing had been the most critical for him to attend, considering the troubled pregnancy and all, and he’d missed it entirely. Part of him was furious that neither of them called for him and another part of him was too relieved that they were all okay to be angry. And then, somewhere, deep in his chest, was that all too familiar echo of sorrow that he would never have a pup of his own.
“Hey,” a voice startled him. He looked up to see Atsushi standing there, smiling sympathetically at him.
“How does a giant lug like you manage to sneak up on anyone?” Takeo joked weakly. It was a pretty pitiful attempt. He smiled. “They’re all okay. The pup is a girl. Tsukiko. She’s beautiful. I don’t foresee any problems.”
“I’m sorry…Takeo.”
“What for?”
“If not for me…” The war demon moved forward and placed his hand on the healer’s stomach. “You’d be able to get yourself a mate and have a pup of your own.”
“It wasn’t your fault. How many times have I told you that? Besides, it was a long time ago. There’s no need to go beating yourself over it, still.”
“You would’ve made a wonderful carrier though.”
“Thank you.”
“We’ve always…ignored what happened, Takeo. I don’t think we…I don’t think we should do that.”
“It was a mistake, on both our parts. Neither of us knew it would end up like this. If anyone could’ve known, it should’ve been me.”
“There was no way…you could’ve known. But still…I mean…I…I’m sorry.” Takeo chuckled and took the war demon’s hand.
“Come on. Let’s not linger outside their door.” The two of them walked off, leaving the dog demons to their privacy.
Sesshoumaru watched as his mate and pup dropped off to sleep. His chest burned with emotion, and a tear rolled down his cheek. A little over a year ago, he would not have even believed himself capable of feeling anything so powerfully. The demon lord allowed a smile to pull at his lips and he curled his body protectively around the two of them. He lay there awake for hours, watching the two of them sleep peacefully. What did I do…to deserve this kind of happiness?
InuYasha’s eyes fluttered open and immediately shut, again, to block out the morning sunlight coming through the window. Tsukiko whimpered and yawned, pawing at his chest, turning her head seekingly. She found a single nipple and latched on contentedly.
“Sessh…can you shut the curtains?” InuYasha asked. The demon lord got out of bed and did as he was bid.
“How are you feeling?” he asked.
“I’m okay…a little sore, but I’ve felt worse. I feel…oh, Kami, we have a pup.”
“Well noticed,” Sesshoumaru chuckled, sitting back down on the bed to stroke his fingers through his mate’s hair.
“I mean, I was aware of it, but it just…it just hit me. Sessh…Tsukiko is our pup! We’re parents. S-Sessh…what if I screw up?”
“We won’t screw up. Trust me. You’ll make an excellent father.”
“How can you be sure?”
“Because, my dear, I know you. Anyone who knows you would agree that you are perfect parent material.” Tsukiko stopped nursing and turned her head towards Sesshoumaru, her nose wrinkling as she sniffed. InuYasha handed her to his older brother.
“Go on, Tsukiko, meet your father.” Sesshoumaru took her gently, cradling her against his chest. “Sessh…don’t judge me, but I feel like I’m about to cry…good cry, that is.”
“I won’t judge you. You can cry as much as you want, love.” Tears collected in InuYasha’s eyes and slipped down his cheeks.
“We’re parents, Sessh. I mean…I…Kami, I would never have thought…before all this. I mean that we…” He laughed softly. “We’re parents of a perfect, beautiful, healthy baby girl. Our very own pup.”
“That we are.” The demon lord pulled the younger into a hug with his free arm, kissing his head lovingly. “I never thought I was capable…of being this happy, InuYasha. Thank you.” The Hanyou tipped up his chin to capture his mate’s lips in a soft kiss.
“Let me get dressed…so we can handle all the stupid formalities for this. We have to announce her, right?”
“You catch on quickly. But this needn’t be a long thing. Atsushi called the council earlier, so we just have to walk in, announce our pup, and that’s it. In a week or so we’ll have an actual celebration to attend, but that will be once her eyes open.” InuYasha got up, rubbing his back and went to bathe and change. Once he came back out, he took Tsukiko back and they went to the council room. They got there and took their seats to wait for the rest of the council to arrive. A quiet murmur ran around the room as they noticed the baby in InuYasha’s arms. The last few councilmembers came in and Sesshoumaru stood.
“I have called this council to announce the birth of my and Lord InuYasha’s pup and our heir, Tsukiko. She will be raised as heir to the West and inheritor of my titles and land,” the demon lord announced. After a moment, the council spokesman stood as well.
“Lord Sesshoumaru, Lord InuYasha, the council welcomes the birth of your daughter and heir, Tuskiko. We wish her a long and fulfilling life and may she always be and ease on you.”
“Thank you,” the InuYoukai replied. “The welcoming ceremony will take place a week from today.” InuYasha stood and followed his brother out into the hall. “See? Was that so bad?”
“It was stupid, but at least it was short.” Atsushi followed them out and hugged them both from behind.
“Congratulations, My Lords,” he murmured, kissing both their heads. “And good luck, but remember…if you need help, Takeo is here.”
“What about you?” InuYasha asked. The war demon laughed.
“After the welcoming ceremony, I’m returning home. But I’ll visit frequently; don’t worry. I’ll be around plenty.”
“Right…of course, you’ve still got the South to rule,” InuYasha remembered, chuckling. “Why did you stay this long?”
“Long? Ah, this isn’t very long, really. Besides, I wanted to stick around for the baby to be born, just to make sure things got off without a hitch.”
“I’m going to go take Tsukiko to the garden,” the Hanyou decided, disentangling himself and strolling away. Sesshoumaru smiled and followed him. Atsushi watched them go. He saw Takeo outside in the herb garden with Shippo and his face fell. I really am sorry, Takeo, he thought sadly. The healer was smiling brightly at the little fox pup, showing him one of the herbs and explaining something to him. You would’ve made a great parent.
