Chap 33
Day 80
It was early morning. The construction on the clinic was going along super well. The external walls were up.   Sesshomaru had toured it daily.   Inuyasha was amused at his brother’s fascination with the clinic but just watched from the court yard.   The weather was warming up and he was practicing katas in his most comfortable, light weight clothes.   Kenichi was right. Usagi have been a great teacher and Inuyasha really enjoyed practicing the katas.
The alarm went out from the town tower in the center of Castle town.   Heads rose from their work on the clinic and all around the castle.   A cry went out as a villager ran into the courtyard.
“Grab some buckets! There’s a fire! Three buildings in the center of town are on fire!   It looks like the fire is going to jump to the buildings around it! We need as much help as possible!!! Please!”
Then the villager ran back to the center of town.
Sesshomaru barked out some orders and several guards on horses dashed to the center of town.
“Inuyasha!   Change to the fire rat if you decide you need to help!   I won’t stop you but I need to know you are protected!”
“On it!” Inuyasha was leaping through the castle in search of his fire rat.
Sesshomaru raced to the center of town.

It took less than half of the day to put out the fires. The fire had leaped building to building and had taken a great deal of old housing with it.   Damages and causalities were reported to the advisors. Fifty citizens had lost their lives. It would have been higher if Inuyasha hadn’t hopped in and out of the flames rescuing people. The town opened their homes and purses. Sesshomaru had the construction staff for the clinic stop and switch to help with clean up and rebuilding of the town.   The fire was determined to be an accident, but all citizens were instructed to look through their homes for combustibles and make sure they were far from the fire pits.

Inuyasha bathed and cleared the smoke from his hair and body.   As he stepped out of the tub, he noticed that he had developed a very small baby bump.    He found his small hand mirror and struggled to look at himself but could not see anything. Remembering the mirrors in Kagome’s century Inuyasha decided that he needed a full length mirror in the castle.
Inuyasha chased Sesshomaru down and told him that he wanted a full length mirror. Sesshomaru blinked. “I had no issue with getting one for the master bedroom.   Should I commission it and arrange for it?”
“No I can do it.”
Inuyasha wasn’t ready to tell Sesshomaru why he wanted to get one. He was anxious to get it as soon as possible so he went into Castle town to the general store that traded with the Dutch traders.
Inuyasha introduced himself to the Dutch captain Luuk.   The tall red headed man had a full length European crafted full length mirror with ornate carvings.   Luuk mentioned he would trade it for a basket of oranges.
There were no oranges nearby so Inuyasha had to go to another store.   He had to find someone who has journeyed to the Southern islands.   It took 30 minutes but Inuyasha found the travelers. The travelers from the Southern islands would part with their oranges if they can have some silk.
Inuyasha went to the tailor. He ended up spending a great deal of time in the tailor’s shop.   They had tea. Inuyasha told the tailor and the silk worms that he was pregnant and he commissioned a wardrobe for the princess.    Then Inuyasha asked the tailor for some silk. The tailor and the silk worms were ecstatic to be in on the pregnancy secret and they were willing to give Inuyasha any silk he wanted. They didn’t want anything in return.   But Inuyasha wanted to make sure they got something so he walked back to the castle and got some sake. He returned to the tailors and gave them castle sake as a token of thanks.
Thirty minutes later he delivered the silk to the Southern island travelers. They were very happy with the trade and gave him the basket of oranges.
Inuyasha carried the basket of oranges to the Dutch captain Luuk. Luuk was appreciative and gave Inuyasha the full length mirror.   Inuyasha sat down and told the captain his adventure to get him the oranges. At the end of the story the captain said, “Are you Sesshomaru’s mate? I would have given it to you free if you had only told me who you were.”
Luuk helped Inuyasha carry the mirror to the castle. Sesshomaru saw the men walking up the hill to the castle gates and joined them sharing the burden with Inuyasha. Luuk wiped his brow of the sweat from walking up the hill.
“Care to join us for a bite?“ Sesshomaru asked Luuk.
“And a little castle sake?“ Luuk questioned.
“Chef!“ Inuyasha called. “Add another for dinner tonight!“
After a delightful meal, much sake and a liberally enhanced saga of the acquisition of the full lenght mirror Luuk tripped out the door and wove his way through the castle gate and back to his lodgings.
The castle royals stood at the top of the stairs to bid their guest good night. Sesshomaru had his arm around Inuyasha’s shoulder and Inuyasha stood next to him with his arm around Sesshomaru’s waist watching the drunken captain make his way home.
“Tell me,Love.   Why did you go through such a crazy effort to get a mirror?”
“Come with me and I’ll show you.”   Inuyasha’s excitement amped up a thousand fold; he bounced as he dragged Sesshomaru to their master suite.
He stripped out of his clothes as he walked into the bedroom. Sesshomaru took that as an amorous sign and started to strip out of his too. But as he got to his fundoshi he looked at Inuyasha. The inuhanyou was standing naked in front of the mirror admiring his profile.
Inuyasha was lost in his own world.   There she was.   She was right there. He ran his fingers over the baby bump, gently caressing and rubbing small circles over the very small baby bump.
Sesshomaru walked up behind his mate and wrapped his arms around Inuyasha so that his hands rested over the small bump.   Inuyasha turned his head and tilted back to see his brother in the mirror.
“I can see her, Sesshomaru.   She’s right here. Safe and protected in my womb.” Then he whispered, “Hi Baby. Hello my little princess Keiko, our little blessing.”
Inuyasha turned and looked up into Sesshomaru’s face.
“That’s why I got the mirror.   Isn’t she beautiful!”
Speechless Sesshomaru nodded his understanding and escorted his brother to the bed. Snuggled on the bed, the two demons talked to the baby and patted the baby bump late into the night.

The closer he got to the three month mark Inuyasha noticed his appetite dropping off. Keeping their pregnancy a secret had gotten harder and harder especially from the chef who had always prided himself on filling the hanyou’s tummy properly.   Initially Inuyasha told him that he wasn’t feeling well but everyone knew the hanyou healed rapidly so that excuse could only work for so long.
It wasn’t long until the chef started mopping around the kitchen.   All the dinners suffered then.   Sesshomaru watched the chef mopping and dropping a dish on the table and just shook his head. Leaning over to his right he whispered in Inuyasha’s ear.
Inuyasha’s ears both perked straight up and he jumped from his seat.
“Hey chef.   Let me help you in the kitchen!” Inuyasha raced over to the chef.
Off to the kitchen Inuyasha drug the lackadaisical chef.   A moment later came a loud “WHAT!!”, followed quickly by a “WHOOPIE!!”, and a “I’M SO HAPPY!”   Those cheers were followed by a series of pan noises and pot clanging and shortly after that a hot, steaming meal was brought up to the dinners at the table. The chef had regained his enthusiasm and Inuyasha had a bounce in his step.
The chef had been briefed of the secrecy of the pregnancy and he agreed to keep the knowledge to himself. He apologized to Lord Sesshomaru for his early pathetic meal and swore to do better. Sesshomaru accepted the vow and asked for a cup of tea. The chef ran off to fill the order.
“You don’t usually want tea now, brother.”
“Good observation.”
A pause filled the void.
“I don’t understand.”
“It was a way to distract him.   I am glad you told him.   The blackened fish was horrible! Once he understood, the meal was much better.”
Inuyasha just shook his head and bent down so he wouldn’t laugh when the chef returned.
Day 90 (13 wk-6d or 3^rd month)
It was the morning of Inuyasha’s third month of pregnancy when he noticed a whitish discharge.   The scream for Sesshomaru raised the roof and alerted all the staff. The cry was filled with panic and intense fear.   Sesshomaru and Jinenji had been in the library with Nana as she dictated another chapter.   All three ran through the castle to Inuyasha’s side.
Inuyasha was pale and hyperventilating.
Nana took over.
“Tell me what is going on, Inuyasha,” she asked calmly.
“I’m---I’m—I’m leaking from the back.   I think it’s from the baby. Sesshomaru, I’m afraid for her. Is she ok?” Inuyasha was trembling. His voice sounded like it was stuck in his throat.
By this time Sesshomaru had gone to his mate’s side and was holding him.   However, when he heard there was a discharge he stiffened. His heart raced and sweat rolled down his cheeks.
“My lords, be at ease.   This is a normal thing. The birther has more hormones in their system than usual.   Lord Inuyasha, it was white, right?”
“Yes,” came the timid reply.
“It’s ok.   If it ever had blood in it I need you to lay down and call for help immediately but white is fine.”
The two held each other for support but Nana’s words were beginning to soak in. Soon their shoulders both dropped and they relaxed.
“Lay down on your back, Inuyasha.”
Inuyasha lay down.
“Sesshomaru, bring up a little ki. Just a small amount. You don’t want to make them hyper.”
Sesshomaru allowed his ki to form a small cloud between his hands.
“Excellent. Now place your hands over your mate’s core.”
Turning to Jinenji Nana motioned for him to follow her to the doorway.
From the doorway the healers watched the two mates’ ki clouds swirl and settle.   The white rose was no longer present but in its place a baby the size of a sake cup sucking its thumb.
“Remember my Lords, don’t do this too often. Ki will make her grow too big too fast.   We need to watch your weight to ease your delivery.   As you can see she is alright. Enjoy looking at her a little longer but then rest, all three of you.”
Nana turned and walked out of the bedroom with Jinenji.
As soon as the door was shut, Nana looked at Jinenji.   “We should go add that to the dictation. Come Jinenji.”
