Hikaru- San: To all the newcomers, please turn around and read Finding Love first. This story won't make so much sense if you don't read that story first, as I tend to refer back to various chapters of that story. As to all of you who read FL before this one, this one bows to you for making a good choice. So yay! Finally found time to write the sequel! I really hate writing the first chapter of any story. It takes too long to figure out how to get things started… anyway. This is the best I could do so enjoy and please R&R!
A little girl in the third grade was waiting along the sidewalk for her ride home. She fumbled with her school bag and key chains. Then a dark blue BMW pulled up. A young woman around 24 years old, with lon black hair currently tied back into a messy bun, in a pink flowing shirt, and jeans suited for a pregnant woman, was sitting in the driver's seat.
"I was starting to get worried." The girl said, as she got in.
"Aw. Rin- Chan. I can't believe you were starting to lose faith in me." The woman said.
"Very funny mom." Rin said. The woman smirked.
"So, what's new in school kid?"
"Nothing much. I had final play rehearsals today."
"When's the play again?"
"Two days."
"I have to make sure your father makes room in his schedule to come see it."
"But, Sae! You know how busy dad get's at this time of year!" Rin said.
"Well, I'm getting close to being due so he'll be home more often." Sayuri said.
She was now nearing her due date. The baby so far was healthy, according to her brother- in- law, Inuyasha Tashio. Sayuri was adjusting just fine with married life. Since now Sesshomaru, the owner and CEO of one of Japan's best computer companies, had a mate to help out with managing family life, was having an easier time trying to manage a company, while having time to spend with his family.
"That would be nice." Rim said looking out the window.
"Oh, come on Rin. Cheer up. You know, he's pretty close to having an early retirement. Jaken pretty much handles the minor things. Today, he has a big meeting with Bill Gates."
"Will he be home for dinner tonight?"
"If he's not, then he has to deal with me." Sayuri said deadly, making Rin laugh. Sayuri was famous for having a temper like a fire demon.
Sayuri parked the car into the garage.
"Oh crap!"
"What mom?"
"I can't get out…" Sayuri said embarrassedly. Now that she was almost seven months pregnant, she was huge. Therefore, making it hard for her to get up. With the long flowing shirts she was always wearing nowadays, you wouldn't of guess that she was pregnant from a distance.
"A little help?" Sayuri said.
"Oh no. Not again…" a masculine voice said. He gently got Sayuri out of the driver's side and carried her into the house bridal style.
"Oh. You're home early." Sayuri said, staring into the golden eyes that belonged to Sesshomaru.
"I just went through the meeting as fast as I could." Sesshomaru said, as he placed Sayuri down gently in the sofa.
"Aw…."
"You guys. Could you at least wait until I'm out of the room?" Rin said, as she walked behind the couch and up the stairs to her bedroom.
"No." they replied.
Sayuri slowly got up.
"Well, I got to make dinner."
"What about the designs for the Hiltons?"
"I finished that this afternoon. Paris doesn't seem to care how much things are. Let's just say I'm getting a really big Paycheck this month." Sayuri said, as she waddled to the kitchen.
"And what are you going to do with all your spoils?"
"Diapers…"
Then a crash was heard. Sesshomaru jumped from his seat and rushed into the kitchen.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!?" Sesshomaru shouted, worry being obvious in his voice. Sayuri stood on the stool wide eyed, her right arm reaching up towards the upper cupboard.
"Trying to get a bowl?" Sayuri said.
"You're not a size 7 now…" Sesshomaru said, picking Sayuri up from the stool, placing her on the floor, and getting the bowl himself.
"WAH! NOW HE'S CALLING ME FAT!" Sayuri cried.
Sesshomaru sighed. Thank Kami the due date's close. The morning sickness he can handle. But, he couldn't take the mood swings anymore. When Kagome was pregnant with Akane, he had the freedom to leave whenever. But not Sayuri. But he loved every minute with the mother of his child.
"I didn't say you were fat…"
"Then why did you put it like that!?"
"What I meant to say was I didn't want you or our child to fall and get hurt."
Sayuri brightened up just as quickly as she was in a bad mood.
"Aw. You do care. I bet you care about me enough to cook tonight!" Sayuri said, tossing the rag to him and walked to the living room as fast as she could.
"You know I can't cook." Sesshomaru said defeated.
"Breakfast sounds good to me!" Sayuri called out.
(Later)
"Yummy!" Sayuri said cheerfully as she cleared her plate
Rin and Sesshomaru exchanged looks, while playing with their food. They were still trying to figure out how to sneak the take out Chinese food into the house and into Rin's room without Sayuri noticing. She was now the living garbage disposal…
Sayuri took her plate to the sink, took care of her dishes, and went into the living room, sketch book in hand.
"I'll do dishes dad." Rin said, taking her and Sesshomaru's plates and went into the kitchen.
Sesshomaru walked into the living room. Sayuri had all her attention on her sketch book.
She looks so beautiful when she's working… Sesshomaru thought to himself. When he was lucky enough to meet someone like Sayuri, he'll never find out. He snuck up behind her, placed his head on her chest, and his hand on her stomach.
"Oh! Hi…" Sayuri said surprised.
"Hi…"
He felt a kick…
"You felt that did you…" Sayuri said gently.
"Just a few more weeks…" Sesshomaru said, looking up at his mate.
"We still have to come up with a name…" Sayuri said.
"We already decided on Makoto if it's a boy…"
"And I still say Reiko if it's a girl."
"Sessh… I don't think Reiko's going to cut it if it's a girl…" Sayuri said in a knowing way. Sesshomaru always hated it when she got that look in her eye. It always means that she was going to win the argument.
"What makes you so sure it's a girl?" he asked, changing to subject.
"Mother's intuition."
"That's what Izayoi said when she was pregnant. Then she wound up with Inuyasha…"
"But I know the baby's going to be a girl. Even if it's not the case, I wouldn't care. We're still going to be parents!" Sayuri said, as she climbed into Sesshomaru's lap.
He pulled her in for a kiss.
Rin was carrying a few bags upstairs, being careful as to not cause any attention. Sesshomaru pulled away from Sayuri.
"So, what do you want to name our daughter?" Sesshomaru asked, looking deep into her brown eyes.
Sayuri sighed. Then she perked her head up
"Do I smell chicken Chow Mien?"
