Sesshoumaru nuzzled his face deep into his sleeping mate’s shoulder. Takeo had, of course, been right, he could smell the sweetness in InuYasha’s scent a lot more potently, now. He moaned softly in appreciation opened his mouth to caress that pale flesh with his tongue. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open and he yanked back.
“InuYasha!” The Hanyou’s eyes cracked open and then widened. “I can sense it…” InuYasha sat up and laid a hand on his still-flat stomach.
“Yeah…me too. Oh, God, Sessh…there’s no ignoring it now. All the symptoms… constantly being hungry, being tired all the time, the change in my scent…” He exhaled deeply. His older brother took his hand and kissed it.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah…we should…tell Takeo.”
“We should.” Sesshoumaru ducked his head to kiss his mate’s stomach and then got up and threw a robe on, tying it securely about his waist. “I’ll go fetch him.” And with that, the demon lord walked off. InuYasha sat up against the headboard, pulled he sheets up to his hips. His visits with Takeo were always so uncomfortable. The old demon rarely said much during his examinations, which mainly consisted of him skimming his hands over InuYasha’s body. It wasn’t something he was used to – anyone but Sessh touching him or seeing him naked.
“Congratulations, My Lord,” the healer’s voice preceded him as he spoke to Sesshoumaru. “I wish you and your family the best of prosperities.” The two came into the room and Takeo smiled widely. “Well, InuYasha, shall we have a look?”
“If you must.” Takeo walked over to him and sat on the edge of the bed. His hands started at the tips of InuYasha’s ears and migrated downwards, brushing lightly over him in almost nonexistent touches , down his neck, shoulder, chest to his stomach, where they settled more firmly, cool and smooth against his heated skin. The healer now closed his eyes and leaned in close placing his ear right on InuYasha’s stomach. The Hanyou shifted uncomfortably but made no other protest, instead choosing to send a long, pleading glance at his brother, who just blew a kiss at him. At length the healer sat up with a small smile.
“Well, you do smell heavenly,” he confirmed with a chuckle. “And indeed, you have been pupped. Congratulations, My Lords. The pup seems to be healthy, as does InuYasha.” Sesshoumaru smiled and walked over to sit next to InuYasha. His hand reached over to rub his mate’s thigh comfortingly.
“Thank you, Takeo. We’ll tell you if anything happens.”
“And I’ll be in for bi-weekly visits. Oh…and I’ve been doing some research.”
“About?”
“About InuYasha’s human nights.” Suddenly, they all became very, very somber. Takeo sighed heavily. “It’s not going to be easy. InuYasha’s youkai is going to want to cling to him, and it’s going to need to do that, if the pup is to survive. However, the only way it will have the strength to do that is if it can draw power from an outside source, most preferably – Sesshoumaru. On these nights, InuYasha will be extremely weak and it is best if you two stay…well…connected…as much as possible – do you catch my meaning?”
“Yes, we get it,” InuYasha cut in. “Basically, I’ll be like some helpless bitch who can’t do anything without the help of her man.”
“InuYasha, it’s not like that,” Sesshoumaru whispered, shooting his mate a frown.
“Isn’t it? I mean, seriously, he’s telling us that basically, if you don’t stay inside me the entire night, our pup is going to die!” InuYasha swore.
“That’s not what I said – I said that’s what’s most preferable. That’s the only way I can guarantee the pup’s survival – and your own, InuYasha. It is possible – even if not probable – that your Youkai could hold on based on your own willpower or simply by being near Sesshoumaru, but I didn’t think it was a risk you should take.”
“Dammit! I can’t even carry our pup!”
“InuYasha! Calm down! It’s not…it’s not like you’re not strong enough or anything.”
“That’s exactly what it is, and you know it, Ru!”
“My Lord-” Takeo began.
“Unless you’ve got more information, get out!” InuYasha snapped. The healer glanced at Sesshoumaru, who nodded, before standing, bowing, and leaving. The door clicked shut behind him and InuYasha groaned, dragging his fingers through his hair.
“InuYasha…you’re more than capable of protecting yourself, our pup, even me. You know that,” Sesshoumaru murmured, crawling up onto the bed to sit fully in front of his mate. He took his face between his hands, forcing their eyes to meet and lock. “This isn’t a judge of your personal strength…it’s alright to need me…as much as I need you.”
“Y-you don’t need me! You always…you always can handle everything yourself!”
“That’s not true! InuYasha I would cease to exist, without you. I need you every moment, just to keep having the strength to go on living. You give that to me. I needed you when we fought Naraku. I need you when I face those nobles and the council and anyone else. I need you so much more than you could ever imagine.” He leaned in and kissed InuYasha softly.
“Stop it! You always do that!” the Hanyou growled, yanking away.
“Do what?” his hurt lover demanded.
“Try to brush by everything by kissing me!” Sesshoumaru sighed.
“That’s because I don’t know how else to tell you how much I love you. I’m not trying to brush by anything. I’m trying to tell you how sincere I am.”
“Sessh…I feel horrible.” Tears welled up in InuYasha’s eyes. “I thought I could do this…you know…carry our pups. But instead…I can’t do anything, on my own.”
“Firstly, that’s not true, secondly…part of being mates is sharing the burden. I can’t do anything without you. Inu…please…” A tear rolled down his cheek and Sesshoumaru swept it away with his thumb.
“I don’t want the pup to get hurt! It’s so stupid…my body can’t even support it…all the time. What’s the point of being able to bear children if I can’t even protect them while they’re inside of me?!” Now more tears began to flow down his cheeks. “I feel so worthless.” Sesshoumaru wrapped his arms around his younger brother, pulling him practically into his lap in a tight embrace. Silent sobs shook the younger bother as he cried into his brother’s shoulder. Sesshoumaru rubbed his back. “I feel so out of control. I know I’m overreacting, but I just…I j-just can’t help it!”
“Shhh…it’s just the hormones. It’s all part of the pregnancy. I’m sorry, Yasha. I’m so sorry you have to endure this,” the demon lord murmured gently. They sat in each others arms for a long while, until the Hanyou was all cried out and he sat back, feeling a little more reasonable.
“I just…I guess it just makes me feel…weak, you know? I hate feeling weak.”
“You’re not weak. Kami, Yasha…you’re so strong it takes my breath away and awes me all the time. And you’re the only one…who can’t see how strong you are.”
“Thanks. Let’s go get breakfast…” The two of them got up and dressed for the day. “It’s going to be weird…once I start showing, you know?”
“I know, but I don’t think you’ll be any less beautiful for it.”
“Stop treating me like a girl…”
“I’m not treating you like a girl. I’m treating you like the man I love,” Sesshoumaru replied. “And I will continue to treat you as such.” The two of them headed to the dining room, falling silent. The demon lord sneaked a glance at his brother to see a faint blush dusting his cheeks. He smirked and reached over to cup his cheek.
“Hey! What are you doing?” the half demon grumbled.
“Sorry, you had something on your face.”
“Oh, shut up.” The younger brother, with much difficulty, finally managed to conquer his blush – a skill he’d learned since moving in with Sesshoumaru – grabbed the demon lord’s hand, and dragged him off to breakfast. They sat down together, InuYasha so close to his brother it was borderline snuggling. Sesshoumaru lifted a curious brow. He wasn’t upset, merely surprised. InuYasha wasn’t big into public displays of affection, even when only the servants were around.
“Are you alright?”
“I just…feel like being close to you. I want to be completely enveloped in your scent…it’s so comforting, and I’m…I’m scared.” Sesshoumaru nodded.
“It’s perfectly acceptable for a pregnant mate to sit in his or her mate’s lap…if you want,” he offered a little hesitantly, unsure of how InuYasha would react. He received a cuff in the back of the head.
“Don’t be stupid. I’m not a kid!”
“I was never implying you were.” The half demon grumbled something under his breath and began to eat. His older brother watched in slight amusement as he consumed about twice as much as he normally did in probably what was half the time it normally took. He smothered a chuckle and patted InuYasha’s head. “Don’t make yourself sick eating too much.”
“I won’t. Geeze, are you calling me fat?”
“No, InuYasha. I’m not.”
“…Do you think I’m being too sensitive?”
“No.” By this point, it was all Sesshoumaru could do to keep from laughing, but had a feeling that would not help settle his mate’s insecurities.
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Hey…you know, when I start to show…I mean…I’m going to get…fat…”
“It’s not fat, InuYasha. It’s just…pregnant.”
“Right, easy for you to say.”
“InuYasha, one, it’s temporary, and two, I will always love you, no matter how you look. Okay?” The Hanyou swallowed hard and then nodded.
“Okay. I’m sorry if I’m being weird.”
“You’re not. It’s okay to be nervous and insecure about this. In fact, it makes me feel a little better that you’re taking this so seriously, and I…I’m nervous too.”
“You are?”
“Of course. We’re going to be parents…and my beloved mate is pregnant. How could I not be nervous?”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
“You know, if you need anything, I am at your beck and call, my love. Even if it seems like something stupid or small or silly or anything like that, I want you to tell me. Will you do that for me?”
“Sure, Sessh. Next time I prick my finger I’ll let you know,” InuYasha teased.
“Do, please…so I can kiss it better.”
“Oh, stop being so silly.”
“I mean it, though…if you need anything…”
“I’ll be sure to call for you. You can rest assured I’ll sit in the middle of our room and throw a tantrum until you get there to fix whatever it is, okay?” the half demon chuckled. Sesshoumaru seized his hand and kissed it, pressing his lips hard against those worn knuckles.
“Yes. I’ll be glad if you do just that.” (A/N: Oh, poor Sessh…you have NO idea…)
