Well as always, Inuyasha world and characters are not mine! Images are also not mine!

On with the story!!!!

---------------------------------

"Indeed you are pupped Lord Inuyasha. The beginning stages of pregnancy are very dangerous so be very careful with what you do. I am sure Lord Koga will keep you busy." The healer said as she chuckled.

Inuyasha blushed knowing this to be true. It was going to be difficult considering he was always active. His ears flattened on top of his head as a pout now decorated his lips. 'Brother isn't going to let me off easy either,' he thought as his eyes drifted to his alpha lover.

Catching Inuyasha's gaze, Koga smiled and kissed his temple. "Cheer up my Yasha, you will be well taken care of."

Inuyasha smiled with a blush as his ears perked once more. "Koga let's-" Inuyasha was cut off by a deep smooth voice.

"Dear baby brother, refrain from sparring for now. Until it is safe enough, you must be cautious." Sesshomaru said as he stared at his brother.

Inuyasha fumed for a second before calming and lifting himself off the seat.
"Fine, I'll hang with Shippo in the garden and hang out in your study Sesshomaru."

Koga stared at Inuyasha. "What about me Yasha?"

Inuyasha snorted and crossed his arms, "out training and beating stuff up!"

"Yasha I can't leave you like that. We are still in our early stages of our post mating. You're stuck with me for quite some time." Koga chuckled and rustled Inuyasha's hair.

Inuyasha huffed and walked out of the room with a little sass in his step. As he stepped into the hall, Inuyasha hugged himself gently. His family was getting bigger and warmer, it made him happy.

"Inuyasha.." said a deep smooth voice as it approached.

Inuyasha paused and pivoted. His ear twitched in curiosity as he stared at his brother.

"This Sesshomaru is content to see you glow in happiness. Head my warning Inuyasha, there is not much time until the ceremony. Many will come. Koga and this Sesshomaru will keep you protected.

"Sessh...this ceremony...can't we keep it simple and private?" Inuyasha sighed as he scratched behind his ear with his clawed finger.

"As much as this Sesshomaru would like to, others would take notice eventually by word of mouth." stated Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha crossed his arms and sighed, "We'll do it your way." 

Sesshomaru nodded and watched as his baby brother walked ahead of him in the direction of the garden.

"Yasha," Koga whispered as he held Inuyasha.

Inuyasha blinked a couple of times before his vision became clear. "Koga?" Inuyasha yawned and stretched a little as his ears swiveled atop his head. When did he fall asleep he doesn't know but to wake up in his alpha's arms was amazing. Judging by the fresh breeze and darkening sky, it was now evening. The fresh air and flowery scents must have relaxed him until he dozed off.

Koga smiled as he caressed Inuyasha's cheek. "Falling asleep so easily.. I could understand from the look of this garden."

"Shippo?" Inuyasha asked as he squirmed in his mate's arms.

Koga chuckled and stilled Inuyasha, "you'll wake the pup if you keep moving Yasha."

Inuyasha paused and looked down. Right on his chest laid the small fox in slumber. His heart felt at ease and he was happy. A content smile graced Inuyasha's lips as he snuggled up against Koga. "Koga let's go inside."

Koga complied and stood with Inuyasha and Shippo in his arms. 

------------

Wow that was a bit fuzzy wasn't it? A bit mushy too.

What ceremony? Who's coming?

What about Shippo?

Will Inuyasha have weird cravings?
