Unexpectedly A Mother by MidNigh

Acceptance

Fighting to keep her embarrassment at bay, Kagome stared down at the pup wishing like hell for a can of powered formula.

“Does he have a name?” She asked Siya, who she could feel laughing at the back of her mind.

“No. I saved that honor for the woman who would mother him.” Siya replied sadly.

The pups eyes seemed to glow brighter as he work over a fist full of her hair, and Kagome knew that the poor thing had to be starving. Sitting crossed legged, Kagome placed the baby in the cradle of her legs and shrugged a shoulder from her top.

“There will be very little milk at first. The hormones are newly introduced into your system, but the will be enough to hold him over until the next feeding. There will be some discomfort.”  Siya warmed after Kagome feed herself from the bindings across her chest and awkwardly brought the baby to her breast.

 Kagome winched as the baby began to feed, tiny little fangs pinching at her nipple.

“Is he supposed to have teeth already?” She questioned as he began to feed in earnest.

“It is a common occurrence in the offspring of someone as powerful as Lord Sesshomaru. It simply means he will take to his second form easily.”  Accepting the other woman’s words, Kagome allowed her back to rest against the tree at her back, and closed her eyes.

So much had happen and she wasn’t sure if the shock of it all had hit her yet, but she was sure she shouldn’t be taking this so well. She didn’t even want to begin to think about how she was going to explain this situation to Sesshomaru, or how to get him to trust her enough to not kill her on sight and simply take his son. The thought of being separated from the boy, caused a sharp pain to pierce her chest, and she tightened her hold on the child. 

“What about Shuichi or Ichirou?” Kagome offered she didn’t want to keep refereeing to the baby as pup, baby or Sesshomarus’ son.

Siya was quite for several long moments before she spoke. “They are both fitting names for the future lord of the west, but if given a choice I prefer Ichirou more than the other.” She answered. Smiling Kagome agreed and tested the name out loud several times before addressing Siya again.

“Tell me more about yourself. I want to be able to share it with him when he’s old enough to understand all of this.”  Joy at the prospect of being remembered filled Siya and she happily share her life with her sons’ new mother.

Hiroyuki knelt just outside of the priestesses’ barrier and studied her as she seemed to converse with herself. After sending the others back to their mistress to report the slaves’ death, he had doubled back to watch the woman and keep tabs on her location. Dread filled him as he watched the human nurse the pup, knowing that the connection had been formed and they all would pay for his failure to retrieve the pup. For a moment thoughts of escape filled him, but he could not abandon the others, to be punished alone. He only hoped that Lord Sesshomaru caught on to the bitch mistress’s plan and disposed of her before his entire clan was wiped out.

His feet barley touched the ground as he speed through the forest. How dare the bitch deceive him and then dispose of his young. Fangs lengthened as the urge to change directions and hunt down the conniving woman erged him to turn around, but his pup was more important. He would not allow any offspring of his to suffer in the elements while he stated his bloodlust. There would be time for that later. The hints of a scent much like his own drew him forward and he increased his pace. Whoever thought to keep his pup from him would regret it immensely and he would enjoy every moment it took to make it so.  

Kagome switched Ichirou to her other breast as she was told, and let her mind wonder. Despite Siya’s assurance that Sesshomaru would understand and respect her new position in his life, Kagome was not so sure. The Sesshomaru that she remembered wouldn’t easily accept a human as the mother of his child, and from her past dealings with the man, she was pretty sure he didn’t care for her very much. Ripples along her barrier pulled Kagome from her thoughts and she opened her eyes to a sight she had hoped to avoid for a few more days at least.

“Priestess” a very enraged demon lord growled.
